The God of Basketball

Isaiah Thomas has had nothing to do these days.

None of the players he wanted to sign were signed. He originally planned to give Rashad Lewis a contract so that the team would have an extra tall shooter to match Li Zhen. Unexpectedly, the Orlando Magic went crazy. First, they renewed Dwight Howard's contract in advance for 85 million in 5 years, and then turned around and offered Rashard Lewis a sky-high price of 110 million U.S. dollars in 6 years.

It made Thomas's scalp tingle even if he was as stubborn as he was. He originally planned to report to Lewis a five-year, $70 million contract... This is not small. You must know that Billups only signed a five-year, $60 million contract with the Pistons two days ago.

This is totally price gouging.

After somersaulting on Lewis, Thomas focused his attention on Luke Walton again. Who knew that Luke Walton ignored him for a long time, turned around and renewed his contract with the Lakers for 5 years and 30 million.

Seeing that there are no big fish in the market, the smiling assassin can only give up resentfully and take one step at a time.

And just when he was idle and had nothing to do, the verbal sparring between Puchal Reed and Li Zhen caught his attention.

He launched a vigorous counterattack at the time: "If the Portland Trail Blazers want a war, they can come to them at any time."

"Their youth army just looks good."

"Greg Oden hasn't proven himself in the NBA yet, so start blowing now, aren't you afraid that when the bubble bursts, you'll be covered in water?"

"I don't like to say curse words, but my only advice to Greg is: don't trust Portland's medical team, they have never proven themselves."

"In the end, Kevin Durant is the best rookie in the class."

Isaiah Thomas came down with a combo punch in front of the media, feeling refreshed.

He has been feeling really uncomfortable recently. If it wasn't for James Dolan pestering him every day, asking him to accompany him to play golf and inspect the women's basketball team, he really wanted to go straight to Las Vegas to join in the fun.

Recently, he has been too idle.

...

Because the Chinese team only achieved 1 win and 2 losses in the regular season, they only ranked 19th among the 24 teams. According to the rules, they will play a single-elimination match with the 14th-ranked Dallas Mavericks. You will be able to have a second-round matchup with the top eight seeds who had a bye in the first round, and the circle will go up.

Always decide the champion.

If Li Zhen is not in the Chinese team, the Chinese team will definitely be a lottery.

But now, Li Zhen has beaten the champion Lang, who has high expectations from the outside world, to undergo tonsil surgery. How can the Mavericks be happy.

The Mavericks have had really bad luck in the past two years. Last season, they were overturned by the Heat with a 2-0 lead in the finals, and they became the legendary MVP of Dwyane Wade. Last season, they fought hard to get the first place in the regular season. As a result, they met the Warriors under the leadership of Nowitzki's mentor Nelson in the first round, and immediately staged a black eight that is rarely seen in history.

And now, just as the prelude to the new season sounded, they met the Chinese team with Bruce Lee.

This luck...it would be a pity not to buy the lottery.

But fortunately, Li Zhen did not go all out in this game as he did in the previous game. Most of the time, he connects the team in a very "lazy" rhythm, allowing his teammates to find the feeling of the game and find a tacit understanding of cooperation.

Under his threading, the Chinese team's offensive quality has improved slightly, and it has shown some dynamic thinking. It's no longer like before, handing the ball to the main scorer, and then everyone else stands and divides the ball equally.

"You have to move to find opportunities. Talent may be inferior to others, but consciousness must be ahead of others."

Li Zhen has always emphasized this point.

In fact, Yunus has repeatedly emphasized, but he is talking on paper after all.

It is not as good as Li Chen personally led the troops to practice. With his amazing thinking ability and brilliant assists, Li Chen led the Chinese team to a more dynamic style of play.

These things subtly bring extremely important nourishment to many players.

Just like Yi Jianlian, before, his mind seemed to be formatted, and he would never move where the tactical board told him to stand to catch the ball. Now, under the guidance of Li Zhen, he has gradually learned to observe the overall dynamics of the half, and will independently assess the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and us and then act accordingly. In other words... he is more integrated into the game than before, and no longer regards himself as a tactical board chess pieces.

This will be of great help to his upcoming NBA journey. Because in the NBA, the competition for the same position is very fierce. After all, this is one of the best jobs in the world. Everyone wants to get more performance in a limited time, so as to squeeze out competitors, win playing time and win high-paying contracts.

In a sense, the NBA is a highly market-based league, and there are too many talented players striving for the top here. And Yi Jianlian is in China, in the league that is almost a planned economy. After he showed his talent, he was trained as an absolute core. He didn't need to fight for the ball at all. Someone would automatically give him the ball to make him comfortable Take the fight.

But in the NBA, as a pitcher, being too honest is not enough.

Li Zhen sincerely hopes that Yi Jianlian can understand this truth.

When the Chinese team entered the fourth quarter, they were 11 points behind the Mavericks.

But this point difference was quickly tied as Li Zhen entered the singles mode. No one in the Mavericks could defend Li Zhen's breakthrough.

This kind of abuse food is not challenging for Li Zhen. If it is not for training the teammates of the national team, Li Zhen really does not want to compete with these low-level opponents, it is too boring.

When the final whistle sounded.

122:111.

Under the leadership of Li Zhen, the Chinese team won the game without bloodshed.

Li Zhen, who scored 25 points, 15 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, dominated the game.

All kinds of domestic media shouted long live, this is already the best result the Chinese team has ever achieved in the summer league. They are now in the round of 16.

Next, the Chinese team will face the fifth seed in the rational game, which is the Charlotte Bobcats.

Although the Bobcats can't play official games, they are good players in preseason games. Because their players themselves are composed of a large number of rookies and NBDL players... To use an Internet buzzword, they are extremely good at pulling their opponents to the NBDL level, and then defeating them with rich experience.

...

"Can you not play tomorrow afternoon?"

When Michael Jordan saw Li Zhen at the party, he couldn't help complaining to Li Zhen. The god of basketball has gained a lot of weight recently, and it can be seen from his blurred eyes that he has been living in Las Vegas very chicly during this time. That is to say, Li Zhen has not watered out the talent space recently, otherwise he would have to suck Jordan up.

The reason why Li Zhen appeared at this party was because of Kevin Durant's strong invitation.

The rising star of the NBA, the future superstar that Nike has offered the largest sponsorship contract after LeBron James, waited at the door of Li Zhen's room with extra enthusiasm after Li Zhen finished playing the Mavericks game. The look of waiting affectionately for his lover's return made Li Zhenxin feel hairy.

Durant was still twitching, talking around for a while before explaining his intention.

It turned out that Nike executives held a big party here in Las Vegas, inviting many celebrities in the cultural and sports circles and socialites: this is a social event often held by the upper class in the United States.

Kevin Durant was also invited, but... he was a dead end, and he was timid to go alone.

So, I ran to call Li Zhen... This is the only person he knows who has seen the world.

And the most important thing is, "My goddess will be there tonight, so... you must introduce me for me then."

Li Zhen was dumbfounded.

Your goddess wants me to introduce you? Who is she? Do I know you? How can I recommend for you?

"With your reputation in Hollywood, the Goddess is definitely willing to talk to you more. I'll just stand by and listen."

What a humble request.

Li Zhen raised his head and looked at him helplessly, thinking: Can your mother look a little bit like a billionaire? With your current status, you can even play matching matches with the top female stars in Hollywood, why are you acting like a slut hiding behind a computer.

Li Zhen couldn't figure it out.

It wasn't until he got into Durant's car and Durant said those earth-shattering words that he realized that he had overestimated Durant.

This guy is not only a hanging silk, but also a hanging silk in a hanging silk.

He actually said, "To tell you the truth, I would even drink Scarlett Johansson's bath water. She is so sexy, I can't help shivering when I think of her appearance."

…Hopeless.

Look at his cowardly appearance, even if Scarlett was lying on his bed, he didn't dare to get on the horse. Most likely, he took out the tissue that he had treasured for a long time from his schoolbag, and then... solved it by himself.

Michael Jordan talked to Li Zhen for a while, and then went to look for Tiger Woods with his wine glass.

Michael's greatest joy now is playing golf, but it is said that he is not as good as Barkley.

Li Zhen originally planned to go over to chat with Tiger Woods, on the one hand because he watched Tiger Woods games since he was a child, and on the other hand Woods is his alumni. Moreover, when Li Zhen just joined the NBA and was ridiculed by the crowd, he spoke for Li Zhen in the media.

But... when the ladies at the party found Li Zhen, he was surrounded immediately.

These high-society ladies couldn't get rid of their admiration for handsome men, and they were even crazier, all kinds of mopping, rubbing against Li Zhen intentionally or unintentionally with their fingers or other parts of their bodies. There were also those who took the initiative to stuff small notes and business cards into Li Chen's suit pockets, which made Li Chen quite embarrassed.

"Look, let me just say I shouldn't have come to this kind of place."

After finally getting rid of the enthusiastic courtship of fifteen or sixteen ladies, Li Zhen found a corner with Kevin Durant and sat down. He told Durant helplessly: "Those women are actually greedy for my body. The love of it is really creepy."

Forehead….

Durant was speechless. He originally wanted to ask Li Zhen some tips on how to strike up a conversation with girls.

Now it seems that I will definitely not be able to learn real talents from Li Zhen.

This guy doesn't need to strike up a conversation at all. When he stands there, those women rush up like bees.

How can you use any strike-up skills, just say "who wants to have a room with me", and the women behind will be able to queue to the toilet.

well!

Durant was a little sad.

At this time, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Bruce, it's nine o'clock, look, my goddess is here, the one in the black gold dress. Hurry up and ask her over for me, I'll go to the toilet to wash my face, hurry up Quick! Quick!"

After Durant said this, he ran away quickly.

Li Zhenfeng was left in a mess.

What's the matter?

Entrust wife and son?
