The God of Basketball

"It's the God of Basketball ()" Find the latest chapter!

It has been three days since the finals that LeBron James appeared in front of the camera again.

He looked tired.

After the season, he did not return to New York. After a few days in Los Angeles, he will go straight to Las Vegas to participate in the US team game.

Last night, he had a meeting with Kobe Bryant.

The two leading Nike stars have attended Nike's official event together before. The two frustrated people stay together, what else can they talk about besides Li Zhen?

They have made up their minds and decided to give Li Zhen a little color in London.

"After Bruce Lee won the last Olympic championship, he started his four consecutive NBA championships. Just now, the new Olympics is coming. This is a new cycle. Kobe, Wade and I... all the members of the dream team have already Get ready, they all have a firm belief."

"We're going to get our glory back at the Olympics."

LeBron James said categorically when asked by reporters.

He has been hailed as one of the greatest losers in NBA history, and even some faint voices are circulating: Why not award him the Finals MVP? His statistics are more gorgeous than Bruce's and he is a full-score performance in every game.

Many people compared him with Jerry West back then.

Jerry West didn't really want to mention this matter, he had already resigned from New York in a low-key manner. His new job is as president of the Golden State Warriors. There is never a shortage of job opportunities for people like him.

Although his three and a half years in New York were considered by many to be a failure. However, he did win two championship trophies and made it to the Finals every year.

Although the removal of Isiah Thomas was the biggest stain in his career, people did not count the removal of Bruce Lee on his head, although he was also one of the instigators.

Moreover, being able to take down the Big Three in the summer of 2010 under such circumstances and build a strong team that swept the East, he really showed his ability and skills.

It's just that he will never recall the past of the past three years.

He just wants to start over.

The Golden State Warriors are considered by him to be a place with great opportunities. He is very optimistic about the young people in Golden State. He thinks that the young people in Golden State only lack a good coach and a chance to take off.

So, here he is.

For LeBron James, the departure of Jerry West is undoubtedly bad news. To some extent, he seemed to be informing him: the plan failed, the commander went away, and it is up to you whether you want to stay on the front line against the Clippers.

If it was the old LeBron, he might run away with a bucket.

After all, the first time is born and the second time is familiar.

But now, LeBron James has decided to stay and fight in New York.

"This season is over for me. Everything in the past is a prologue. Next season, my brothers and I will continue to maintain the most courageous impact on the championship. We will be even stronger next season."

When James talks about next season.

People have to mention the Los Angeles Clippers who have just successfully defended their title.

Jason Kidd, Allen Iverson, Ron Artest, Jermaine O'Neal, the four veterans collectively announced their retirement.

Although Stephen Nash said that he would stay and finish his contract, Vince Carter also said that he would enjoy the rest of his career, but for the Clippers, it is undoubtedly a crazy blood exchange.

The crazier thing is that although the season is over.

The previous rumors have become clear, and there are endless news about the Clippers wanting to trade newcomers.

There's news from Dallas, there's news from Charlotte, and shit-bomber Houston is doing all kinds of news.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building.

More importantly, in the past two days, news began to spread from Los Angeles.

First, Blake Griffin's father told the media that Blake was no longer satisfied with being a deputy.

He hopes to be the leader of a team next season, just like Paul George.

Then Jordan's friends also reported that he hopes to return to his hometown team to play.

And Gordon Hayward.

Hayward played in person, and he expressed his hope to stay in the Clippers.

He is a good boy.

Li Zhen is actually very reluctant, but thinking about it carefully, with his personality, it is far better for him to be the leader of the Charlotte Bobcats and to receive the teachings of God from Michael Jordan than to stay at home.

Therefore, Li Zhen has made a decision in his heart.

Including the departure of Blake Griffin and Jordan Jr.

This was all within Li Zhen's plan, but the news that so many old members of a championship team were leaving suddenly gave people a feeling of jitteriness.

Especially the Clippers fans, they will inevitably enter into a mood of worry, and they will inevitably worry about the future because of this.

For the defending champion, the most worrying thing is the lineup adjustment.

And most importantly, Larry Brown also resigned, and Isiah Thomas decided to wander the world and read the world of male sex.

From the players to the coaching staff, more than half of the country has been gone.

It's hard to avoid imagination.

On the contrary, Li Zhen was very calm about it.

The departure of the players was already in his plan. Larry Brown and Isiah Thomas are actually just consultants to the team this season. Thomas is more like a mascot, and Larry Brown has already given him everything.

He had high hopes for Jamelin, and he even claimed on the night of the finals that Jamelin would be his favorite student.

The spread of this sentence made Popovich more or less hurt. After all, in the eyes of the public, Popovich is his most proud student.

Therefore, people interpret it more as a kind of flattery.

A protection that has been questioned for Jamelin for so many years.

Jamie Lin has never been recognized by the public, even though he has been the head coach of two consecutive championships. But he hasn't gotten any credit yet.

In fact, Li Zhen and the players have already admired him very much, thinking that his tactical thinking is very mature.

But... people's words are terrible after all.

But, to Jamelin, that was all right.

On the second night after the finals, he made a 30-minute phone call to Li Zhen. From the voice on the phone, he could tell that he had a drink.

"...I can't believe it, I went from an assistant coach to a champion coach in the NBA, and also the head coach of the Chinese team."

Jamelin's voice was trembling on the phone.

For him, it was a fantastic six years. He didn't even dare to dream that all this happened like this, and he could still recall the picture of himself and Bruce meeting for the first time. He can still think of the fact that the head coach of the university saw that there was no chance in the game and simply let go, which made him and Bruce create an NCAA miracle.

"This scene is simply a legendary story."

Jamie Lin said in disbelief: "Our lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. Bruce, I even thought I would leave basketball forever."

Li Zhen smiled, and he said, "Perhaps in another time and space, you would have sold roujiamo a long time ago? I remember that your ancestral home is from Shaanxi."

Jamie Lin laughed on the other end of the phone.

After a while, he began to discuss with Li Zhen about the national team, and he will fly to China immediately. As the head coach of the men's basketball team jointly recommended by Li Zhen and Yao Huang, he will shoulder the mission of leading the national team to win the championship.

This is a tough challenge for him.

Stephen Marbury will go with him. Although Marbury has not mixed into the official assistant coach position, he will appear in the training camp as a team consultant.

Marbury is forming a new partner with Jamie Lin.

And in the not-too-distant future, Jason Kidd and...Phil Jackson will be in it too.

Yes.

The old Zen Master has signed the contract with the Clippers as the team's general counsel. After going through ups and downs, the Zen Master finally returned to Los Angeles, where he was always in trouble.

However, although his name is very famous, but... the treatment is far worse than in New York.

After all, the Los Angeles Clippers are based on strict budget control.

A woman is in charge of the house.

The return of the Zen master has not yet been announced, and the Clippers did not plan to announce it so soon. Because the offseason operations have not officially started, although Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Nowitzki have confirmed that they will join in the new season, the draft has not yet started.

Li Zhen took a look at this year's draft list, except that Anthony Davis was a certainty. Li Zhen actually wants to choose a reliable point guard, if not, a combo guard is also fine.

Because according to the current lineup, the inside problem is actually not big, even if O'Neal, Griffin and Jordan all leave. However, with the addition of Kevin Garnett, Nowitzki and Anthony Davis, the tactical adaptability may not be as good, but the overall strength has not declined. Even... up slightly.

In addition, Li Zhen has also decided to focus on training Jimmy Butler in the new season. The departure of Gordon Hayward is bound to cultivate a new forward and defender with the ball.

Jimmy Butler has this quality, he's tough.

So much so that the US team pulled him to Las Vegas as a training partner.

Jimmy Butler has no complaints about this. This is a child who has suffered, and he cherishes every opportunity. Therefore, Li Zhen also thinks that even though he is an older rookie, his talent is not very good. But he always feels that this guy's upper limit has a chance to surpass Paul George, even if Paul George reached 20+5+5 in the Hornets last season.

Previously, the big deal between the Clippers and the Hornets was called a loss by critics.

Now, with Nash winning the title with the Clippers and the Hornets getting the No. 1 pick, everyone says the Clippers are making a lot of money.

Many people even said there, never make a deal with the Clippers, they are the devil, and they will never lose money.

Regarding this alarmist voice, the Mavericks and Bobcats did not stop. They are still shopping in the draft market, and they hope to get a draft pick that will satisfy Li Zhen.

After all, the potential superstars held by the Clippers are really delicious.

If the previous changes were not enough to make Li Zhen depressed. The next call he received broke his defenses a bit.

Eddie Griffin chose to leave.

No, it should be said that he chose to leave basketball to take an artistic path.

He sincerely told Li Zhen on the phone: "Bruce, in fact, I lost my love for basketball a year ago. I am very grateful to you for saving me from a desperate situation and giving me honor, respect and wealth. But now, I want to take a path that I really love, and I want to be a classical artist."

Forehead….

Li Zhen froze in place at the time.

He wondered what Eddie Griffin was thinking.

Eddie Griffin is his closest person in the NBA. They have been good friends since he first came to the Lakers to play in summer league, and they have continued to this day.

Li Zhen originally thought that they would continue to cooperate, and even Li Zhen once thought in his heart that if Eddie Griffin is willing, the Clippers can provide him with a salary until he is completely unable to run on the court.

Eddie Griffin, however, ended his career himself when he was not yet 33 years old.

He told Li Zhen that he was not short of money, and investing with Li Zhen for so many years, he made more money than most NBA players. And he asked Li Zhen not to worry about his livelihood for the rest of his life. He doesn't have high material needs now. He just wants to pursue the path of art and spiritual needs.

What else can Li Zhen say.

Wish him all the best.

Hope he is doing well in Germany. I hope that classical music can accept him as a layman.

Eddie Griffin's departure made Li Zhen feel emotional.

...

The draft in 2012 was indeed lackluster. Li Zhen glanced at the list, and he even stopped the plans of the Mavericks and Bobcats to search for rookie signs.

Although in this list, he saw a few 'familiar' names.

However, neither is very suitable for the Clippers.

Therefore, he simply didn't care about anything and let the general manager figure out the operation of hoarding the three draft picks this season.

Opening the eyes of the sky is meaningless if you open it too much, it is better to open it blindly.

The day of the draft is coming soon.

During this period, Li Zhen was tortured by the girls in Los Angeles. He was finally allowed to travel to New York on business the weekend before the draft. When he arrived in New York, he did not stop his job. After all, Sharapova and Gisele are always stationed in New York.

These days are also days and nights, stepping up to make up for it.

When Li Chen appeared in Madison Garden, fans in New York did not boo him, but greeted him with applause and cheers.

This surprised Li Zhen quite a bit.

"Maybe they no longer regard the Clippers as an opponent."

Kevin Garnett's mouth is very direct, as if smeared.

He has already bought out his contract with the Celtics, and everyone knows that he will join the Clippers as a free agent. The Clippers have already fired him from a three-year, $10 million contract.

And his former teammate Ray Allen, Ray Allen is higher, $8 million in 2 years.

After all, shooters are popular.

In this regard, Garnett has no objection, he has long since stopped trying to make money. The money he made from the NBA is almost as much as Eddie Griffin made from investing with Bruce.

One can imagine what an amazing rich man Eddie Griffin is now.

It is no wonder that he is not greedy for material things now, but goes to pursue classical music.

People, when there is more money, it is easier to engage in some spiritual pursuits.

But isn't this kind of pursuit all bullshit?

"Do you think you are weaker than the stars who left?" Li Zhen asked Garnett.

Of course Garnett denied it. He said that he was still as powerful as a tiger, and he was still the top center in the league.

Center?

Li Zhen remembered. Let Garnett play center next season.

You can only let Garnett play center, after all... Anthony Davis and Nowitzki are not serious center talents. Milicic probably won't be able to keep it anymore. When he reaches the contract year, with his current net worth, the Clippers will definitely not be able to keep him without paying an annual salary of tens of millions.

In fact, the Chicago Bulls have been hooking him up too.

The Chicago Bulls have been active recently. After losing to the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, they started a league-wide hunting plan.

According to inside information from the media, Brandon Roy has decided to join the Bulls.

This made Li Zhen extremely excited. Both Roy and Rose are the types of players that Li Zhen likes, and the career destiny of these two people will be changed because of him. If they really join forces and perfectly integrate into Thibodeau's tactical system. The New York Knicks have had a tough time in the East.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen even thought about sending Milicic to the Bulls. The Bulls also stocked some swingmen.

Moreover, the product produced by Thibodeau must be durable.

...

Before the whole world knew it, the Los Angeles Clippers took Anthony Davis with the No. 1 pick they got from the Hornets.

This matter is really... no surprise at all.

The Clippers store couldn't wait to put on Anthony Davis' No. 23 jersey yesterday.

Immediately afterwards, the Clippers used their No. 22 pick in the first round to select Jai Crowder from Marquette University, a candidate heavily recommended by Jimmy Butler because they are alumni. Jimmy Butler claimed Jae Crowder was a top 3-and-D player, and the Clippers followed suit.

He didn't even read Claude's information.

There is no way, the tone of this year's draft has been set, and the focus is on participation.

After all, they all won the No. 1 Scholar. The rest, whatever.

Then they picked a Nigerian center and Texas A\u0026M's Khris Middleton.

Finally completed this mission.

Immediately afterwards, the Clippers' deal seemed to trigger a shock bomb.

The first to bear the brunt is that guard Gordon Hayward, who has superstar potential, was sent to the Charlotte Bobcats. The Bobcats paid cash plus a first-round pick in 2013 and a second-round pick in 2014.

This cash refers to ... the first year of Gordon Hayward's first contract after his rookie contract expires. At that time, after the league draws, all the rest will be sent to the Clippers.

The Clippers exchanged Gordon Hayward for a training fee of at least tens of millions of dollars. At the same time, they also got an unprotected first-round pick in 2013. The second-round pick in 2014 is considered to be the first.

Then, the Clippers sent Blake Griffin to the Dallas Mavericks for cash and a 2015 first-round pick.

The trading model refers to Gordon Hayward.

It's also a deal where potential superstars are exchanged for training fees.

But, next. DeAndre Jordan's trade was stopped by Lao Li. Because ... the Chicago Bulls made a better offer and the Miami Heat were in contention.

They made a horizontal cross and even disrupted Li Zhen's plan.

However, these two families are really willing to give capital!
