NBA: Start with James Harden

The day after meeting with the Knicks was a meeting with Mavericks management.

The Mavericks have a strong lineup that meets Li Zhen, with owner Cuban , Nelson Jr. , coach Carlisle Carlisle, Novitsky, Kidd, Terry , Marion and Heywood.

Mavericks management called all the players who usually had a good relationship with Li Zhen.

To be honest, Li Zhen did not like the practice of Maverick’s management, which was a bit coercive.

Unlike the Knicks, the meetings with the Mavericks are mostly reminiscing.

The management did not give too many guarantees, they always wanted to impress Li Zhen with feelings and feelings.

Carlisle, Nelson Jr. and others obviously did not have much communication with Novitsky, and they constantly stressed that this team will definitely belong to Li Zhen in two years, and if the contract is renewed, the tactical status will be similar to Novitsky’s next season, and he will not be put on the bench again.

Cuban said that Novitsky’s salary cut was for the team to renew Li Zhen’s contract.

Novitsky heard Carlisle and Nelson Jr. and knew things were going to go bad.

Although the management has been fighting with Li Zhen for most of the season, they really don’t know Li Zhen.

Li Zhen’s personality is the kind of person who is tepid on the surface and says everything well, but if it is different from his opinion, he will execute his own.

Li Zhen did not ask for rights other than players, and he knew that the Mavericks would not give them.

For the calf, Li Zhen is not the highest level of value.

They value Novitsky more and the professional operation of the management.

Just like the Thunder won’t value Harden very much, because they still have Durant and West, they still have options.

Of course, the biggest advantage of staying with the Mavericks is that they could still be championships next season.

Familiar teammates, familiar coaches, familiar staff, Li Zhen can replicate this year’s success in a very relaxed environment.

Li Zhen’s meeting with Maverick did not give a direct answer.

His relationship with his teammates is related, but his career is his own and he is responsible for himself.

Li Zhen accompanied the Maverick management to lunch and said goodbye to them, and then made a decision.

Staying with the Mavericks is the icing on the cake, while going to the Knicks is a blessing.

Li Zhen’s personality is biased towards the challenging and adventurous type, rather than the conservative and comfortable type.

Choosing the Knicks will be a bigger challenge for Li Zhen.

Conquer the world’s largest metropolis, become a totem there, and surpass Jordan!

Li Zhen’s goal slowly became clear in his mind.

He would rather be Jordan than be Kobe.

Once you’ve made a decision, it’s easier to make a choice.

That evening.

Li Zhen called Novitsky, Kidd, Marion, Heywood, and other well-connected teammates.

He talked for a long time on each call, fully expressing his gratitude for the previous help to him, and then talked about his final choice.

Nowitzki, Kidd and others are veterans of the league, and they also know that New York is attractive to Li Zhen, and after knowing Li Zhen’s choice, they also expressed their understanding of Li Zhen.

For them, Li Zhen’s appearance helped them win one of the most important championships, and this experience is indelible, even if they leave the team, their personal friendship will not change easily.

If the relationship is good, talk about the phone, explain the situation one by one, and if the relationship is general, Li Zhen sent a text message.

Lee did everything he could, making sure that his teammates didn’t get information in the media that he had joined other teams, but instead gave every teammate full respect.

Li Zhen also chatted with coach Carlisle for a long time, and for Carlisle, Li Zhen is respectful.

Carlisle gave him a lot of help to go from a rookie to a true superstar.

This kind of help is not about strength, it’s more about that kind of consciousness.

Carlisle finally asked Li Zhen: “Li, I still don’t quite understand why you don’t stay, you know, stay in Dallas, you will have a second or even third championship.” ”

Li Zhen replied: “Coach, I am not another Kobe!” ”

Carlisle sighed.

Li Zhen still can’t wait, can’t wait for a year.

He didn’t want to get it under Nowitzki’s wing.

He doesn’t want to be the Kobe Bryant next to O’Neal!

After communicating with the Mavericks team, Li Zhen personally called Knicks boss Dolan.

“I’ll join New York!!” When Li Zhen personally said this to Dolan.

Dolan said excitedly: “Li, I love you to death, you made an extremely wise decision!” ”

…..

Li Zhen chatted with Dolan for more than half an hour.

The two discussed the development of the team.

Li Zhen can feel Dolan’s desire for the Knicks to change, and the Knicks really haven’t ushered in a superstar like Li Zhen for a long time!!

After communicating with Dolan, Li Zhen decided to inform Pelinka and ask Pelinka to communicate the details of his contract to Knicks management.

Refeng leaned beside Li Zhen very obediently, listening to him make phone calls one by one.

In a phone call, the time was quickly three o’clock in the morning.

Li Zhen also did not look at the time, and his last call was to Xiaosi.

If you decide to join forces with Xiaosi, it is still necessary to communicate your feelings in advance.

Like Dolan, Xiaosi was extremely excited when he received Li Zhen’s call.

Xiaosi just fell asleep, but because of Li Zhen’s call, he couldn’t sleep.

In the playoffs with the Suns, Xiaosi was beaten by Li Zhen.

Originally, Xiaosi thought that he would lead the team himself after going to the Knicks, but he didn’t expect that Li Zhen would also come over!!

Little Ston didn’t panic.

Li Zhen has that kind of aggression more than the younger Nash!!

His passing is slightly worse than Nash’s, but he is definitely able to tandem the whole team.

After talking to Xiaosi on the phone, Relian had fallen asleep on the sofa in the living room.

Li Zhen carried her into the room and covered her with a quilt.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhen posted his personal status on Twitter and Weibo.

“New challenge! A new journey!!! ”
