The God of Basketball
Six hundred and three: [Li Zhen: Am I a little green tea?]
If it weren't for James Dolan, the Dolan family, and Isiah Thomas making these messy news.
If it wasn't for Jerry West who was involved in the Bruce deal and was ridiculed horribly.
This is absolutely the best front office signing the Knicks have ever made.
There is no doubt about the greatness of Jerry West. His operation of establishing the Lakers dynasty is still called miraculous and cannot be replicated. He traded to Shaquille O'Neal, and then got Kobe through the draft... Even people with open eyes didn't know at that moment that they would achieve such brilliant achievements.
His connections in the NBA are just amazing.
Moreover, no one can ignore the great achievements he has built on the court. In fact, before Michael Jordan appeared, no one would doubt his monument as the number one shooting guard in history.
This white man with a height of 191 can be called a scoring weapon in ancient times. He is the unique MVP of the finals loser in history, and the only player in history who scored 10 times 40 plus in the finals, stronger than Jordan The record could not be broken. Not to mention his stunning 60+20 finals.
Jerry West is about the same size as Li Zhen.
Therefore, the reason why many people have expectations for him is that everyone hopes that he can change the disadvantages of Bruce Lee's current poor scoring ability.
In fact, Jerry West did the same.
Although he is called a model of unknown people because of Li Zhen.
But the first thing he did when he arrived in New York was to openly laugh at himself: "The reason why I chose to join New York is because I believe in a philosophy of life: Wherever I fall, I will stand up!"
West is quite humorous.
This relieved some of the embarrassment.
What is unknown is that the first thing Jerry West did after taking office was to drive to Li Zhen's apartment, when Li Zhen had just sent Anne Hathaway away.
Jerry West showed great enthusiasm, and he did not have the posture rumored in the media at all. On the contrary, he sincerely analyzed why he chose to trade Li Zhen at the beginning, because Li Zhen at that time really did not see any physical talent, which was completely different from now.
This point, Li Zhen agreed.
After all, besides a gambler like Isiah Thomas, who would have bet so much on himself at the time.
Jerry West just made a normal deal at the time, but he didn't expect that Li Zhen would mutate afterwards.
West then stressed that he would not change the team's current structure. Moreover, he promised to bring more help to Li Zhen, including going to the training ground to give Li Zhen offensive skills.
The conversation between the two can be called heart-to-heart.
Therefore, Li Zhen felt that this did not seem to be a bad thing.
Isiah Thomas then appeared at the press conference for Jerry West's appointment, and they showed a picture of sympathy in front of the camera.
However, some contradictions still appeared afterwards.
As we all know, Isaiah is a person with a lot of habits. He has his own men in every department of the club. And most of these people are... the existence of idle food.
As soon as Jerry West came up, he carried out the Malaysian golden knife reform.
He first fired the head of scouting appointed by Isiah, and then replaced the manager of the player affairs management department.
One day and one courtier.
There is nothing wrong with it.
In good conscience, the personnel appointed by Jerry West are indeed stronger than Isiah's batch in terms of professional ability.
Thomas felt very ashamed. He thought that Jerry West was deliberately acting against him.
Li Zhen didn't know how to comfort him, it was difficult for him to say anything about this matter.
As a player, no matter what, you can't interfere with the operation of the middle management of the team, even LeBron James has never done this.
Therefore, he can only emphasize again and again: You and Jerry West fell into the water, I will save you first.
Isaiah Thomas replied angrily, I fell into the water with him, and I must step on his body to climb up.
To be honest, Jerry West is not a person who cares about everything. He figured out on the third day that Isiah was the boss of the Knicks, but he didn't make trouble because of it.
He was deaf.
Moreover, he quickly carried out the long-term structural construction of the team for the next three to four years. His goal was to build a dynasty team. He even calmly talked about his ambitions when communicating with Li Zhen alone: I hope the Knicks can win ten consecutive championships! You have this ability!
Ten consecutive championships?
Li Zhen was taken aback.
But speaking from Jerry West's mouth, it is so believable. The biggest difference between him and the smiling assassin is that the assassin is an emotional person, and his words have no basis. And Jerry West is very rational. He even sorted out the draft picks he may have in the next three years, as well as the inspection of some NCAA rookies and high school rookies.
West's influence in the college basketball world is not comparable to that of Isiah. He can get more things than other NBA head coaches and general managers, and he also maintains a good relationship with a large number of agents. Throughout the United States basketball.
One of the most intuitive changes is that when he took charge of the Knicks, ESPN's unreasonable criticism of the Knicks decreased visible to the naked eye.
This is the role of Jerry West, he is Dinghaishenzhen, he is the founder of the dynasty.
However, Jerry West's classification of existing players made Li Zhen uncomfortable.
Li Zhen is not for sale in his mind.
Gasol Jr. is also close to what he considers not for sale.
Zach Randolph, Jordan Jr., and Dragic are the top resources.
Francisco Garcia, Matt Barnes, and Gallinari are high-quality supports.
Yi Jianlian and Stephen Marbury are indispensable rotation players.
As for Eddie Griffin, he thinks he can choose to trade: now is the moment when he trades with the highest value, and he can return a sixth man full of scoring energy.
At this point, Li Zhen told him with certainty: "Griffin is my brother, trading him is unacceptable!"
Jerry West didn't expect Li Zhen to react so violently.
He believes that the Knicks' current inside problem has been completely solved, and the only thing missing is a strong sixth man.
However, in the end he still respected Li Zhen's idea.
After all, it's still early days.
And he doesn't think the Knicks have a chance to win a championship this season.
The Knicks' current lineup is still inexperienced, and the young players have a lot of ups and downs, and it is easy to suffer in the playoffs.
He believes that the Knicks should reach their peak collectively in 2010, and by then, it will be the beginning of the Knicks dynasty. And, he has absolute confidence to catch a big fish in the summer of 2010. The Knicks now have too many chips.
Li Zhen didn't know what Jerry West was thinking.
Without talking about the transaction, the communication between the two is very harmonious.
Jerry West appreciates the hardworking and cultured Li Zhen very much. He often goes to the training ground to give advice to Li Zhen. He told Li Zhen some scoring skills and brought Li Zhen some completely different insights.
December passed by so quietly.
Although the Knicks have undergone a lot of high-level changes, time has entered 2009 without hesitation.
The Knicks' schedule has become difficult after entering January, and their opponents are no longer league scraps. The Western powers came in turn, and the top four in the East also fought alternately.
In this case, the Knicks have three players selected as NBA All-Star candidates: Li Zhen, Zach Randolph, and Eddie Griffin.
Moreover, when Li Zhen learned of the list, he shouted to the outside world: "I hope Zach, Eddie and I will stand on the stage of the All-Star Game together."
That made the trio's vote count jump by leaps and bounds.
Zach Randolph overtook Dwight Howard almost instantly, and Eddie Griffin also crushed Kevin Garnett to death.
This triggered a wave of strong sour grapes in the east.
Happy Beast became very unhappy, he told the media very depressed: This is cheating. How can you help your teammates solicit votes? I don't have as many girlfriends as Bruce, and they all get along!
What Howard said is no different from not calling himself.
The whole world knows that his illegitimate son is quickly catching up with his predecessor, Sean Kemp, but he is still smarter than his predecessor. He raises his illegitimate son himself, which makes those women who are scheming less a lot of ways to extort money.
Howard did not forget to ask Li Zhen before jumping the ball at Madison Garden on January 2: "How did you manage to prevent those female stars from getting pregnant? Did you wear a raincoat? That thing is very uncomfortable."
Li Zhen shook his head subconsciously.
He wondered why Howard suddenly asked such a question.
But he really doesn't have the habit of wearing a raincoat, because even in the United States, it is difficult to buy his size.
Isn't that kind of thing you can control yourself? How can you get pregnant?
Li Zhen is very strange.
"Then you have to be careful, it's too troublesome to have a baby. Especially you, those female stars are more difficult to deal with than those women. After all, those bad women only want money, and those female stars want you."
Howard said with great insight.
Li Zhen nodded, indicating that he would be careful.
Then the game officially started.
The heartwarming meeting between the men before the game didn't change the fact that the game was tough.
Classmate Howard is the league's number one center, and was once again squeezed by the Knicks' center group.
The Magic gambled too much. It is unrealistic for Stan Van Gundy to pin all his hopes on Howard alone. Whether it's Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol playing at the same time, or Jordan and Gasol working together to suppress, or Eddie Griffin pairing one of them, they are all at an altitude disadvantage.
What's more, the Knicks can also play fast offense.
The Knicks also have big shooters.
Moreover, Li Zhen's organizational talent, Nelson would not be able to learn it even if he was reborn ten times.
Thus, the game became no suspense.
The Knicks reaped the victory leisurely.
Moreover, after the game, Zach Randolph was once insane: "Howard can't even beat my little brother, why does he have to compete with me for the All-Star starter? My commercials are broadcast on TV every day. What does he have?" Commercial value? Doing funny juggling at the dunk contest in a Superman suit?"
The Knicks easily climbed over the Orlando hills they failed to climb last season.
However, when facing the aggressive Boston Celtics. The Knicks' center group is misfired. Both Jordan and Gasol seem inexperienced and made a little timid.
However, Li Zhen is a leader who prefers to go to Tiger Mountain.
The more embarrassed these two were, the more he passed the ball to them, insisting that they fight back with tit for tat.
The hearts of the two were in this kind of continuous feeding, and they played back a little. In the fourth quarter, Jordan even dunked Perkins and roared, and Gasol also blocked Pierce for a layup.
But the game was lost 87:101.
After the game, the Celtics showed some humiliation.
From Pierce to Perkins, all looked cocky.
But Jerry West, who watched the whole game, deeply felt Li Zhen's brilliance.
"He is deliberately accumulating the anger of the two young centers. Losing in the regular season is not terrible. As long as they have enough anger and experience, in the playoffs, it will be the moment to turn defeat into victory!"
West told his confidants so.
But his confidants seem to understand.
In the third game after playing the Boston Celtics, the Knicks ran into the Cleveland Cavaliers head-on.
The Knicks lost again.
LeBron James still showed his power, scoring 35 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds in a super third triple-double.
Their restricted area Ilgauskas and Ben Wallace also completed the suppression of Gasol and Jordan.
These two rookie centers didn't seem to have much tricks in front of the two old fritters with very different offense and defense, but Li Zhen kept feeding them the ball from the beginning to the end, not caring about the outcome of the game at all.
That's why the Cleveland media claimed the Quicken Loans Center victory.
Indeed, the difference of 24 points is worthy of their hype.
This made them forget the pain of being swept last season, and the bitterness of the Chosen One being pressed on the floor and rubbed.
"Slaughtering the Knicks is by no means the end of the Cavaliers this year, our goal is the championship trophy!" "
The Ohio Mirror newspaper ran a strong headline the next day and used a photo of James reigning supreme.
It was as if he was about to ascend the throne that night.
Li Chen had already seen how Cleveland felt good about himself, so he didn't bother to respond.
Embark on another Western tour with the team.
In addition to making Li Zhen feel the immaturity of the inside line, he played against the three strong teams in the East one after another. The greater feeling still comes from myself, although those "blues terminators" that have sprung up like mushrooms after the spring rain are exaggerated. But his weak scoring ability is still a pain point that he cannot avoid.
The low-level shooting finishing ability makes it easy for strong teams to make some targeted defenses, which affects the overall situation.
Therefore, Li Zhen is very eager to improve the fusion of talents.
However, talented defenders are hard to find.
Although Sharapova had already made an appointment to play together, during this period of time, he played from Wimbledon to French Open and never set foot in America.
Although Li Zhen believes that if she makes a phone call, she will travel across the ocean to see him.
But is it too much green tea to do that?
But fortunately... Westbrook's distant relative Williams killed Sharapova at the French Open.
If there is no accident, the Russian girl will arrive in the United States in mid-February.
When the time comes, you must play back to her with your back!
