The God of Basketball

During the intermission, David Stern handed the best rookie trophy to Li Zhen in the middle of the court with a smile on his face.

For this new generation of super point guard who makes the headlines of major entertainment almost every day as an NBA player, David Stern likes it from the bottom of his heart. This is his dream player, and even deep down in his heart, the importance of Bruce Lee is close to LeBron James' position: because he can expand a wider influence.

He has always conceived such a picture in his head: LeBron James stabilizes the basic base of the NBA in North America, and Bruce Lee develops the entire Asian market: now it is not just Chinese fans who are flocking to him. He set off a new basketball trend in East Asian countries such as South Korea and Japan... The sales volume of Li Zhen's jerseys in these two countries has ranked first in the NBA, and the Knicks' games are even booked out.

For David Stern, who has an extremely keen business sense, he is not stingy with a piece of delicious cake.

However, this duel has always remained in his mind, and no written plan has been formed.

Currently, the alliance still focuses on rendering 24VS23, and then matches the collective competition between the 96 Golden Generation and the 03 Super Platinum Generation.

These are the two main themes, or the main plot.

As for Bruce Lee, in the entire NBA map, he was just a leftover piece in the first year.

Moreover, many league executives believe that Li Zhen's upper limit is not high, and his potential is not enough to support a large amount of resources. Therefore, the league officials did not push for Knicks-related events.

In the NBA's official playoff promotional video this year, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are the Kanban characters, and they have the most pictures. The rest are paired with Nowitzki, O'Neal, Iverson, Duncan...and other superstars. As a rookie, Li Zhen just passed by in a flash.

"If you go back in time to last summer, I can't believe I actually won this trophy."

After a long cheer, Li Zhen began to speak: "At that time, I heard too many labels about 'parallel imports' and countless rumors about my inability to adapt to the NBA. They spoke with certainty and were absolutely sure."

"Those voices are still humming today."

"However, I didn't listen."

"I stick to myself and never doubt."

"Now, I got the Rookie of the Year."

"I made the playoffs with the Knicks.

"

"I am very happy."

"thank you all!"

Li Chen stated this past in a calm tone. He did not deliberately sensationalize, nor did he label himself as inspirational.

He just finished speaking so flatly and freely, then bowed and walked towards the player tunnel.

This scene left a deep impression on the fans and the audience in front of the TV.

"It's hard to describe this feeling. Bruce is not Michael Jordan. He didn't raise the trophy to make a big fuss, let alone exaggerate himself, and strongly countered those who belittled him. He seemed to tell half a story..."

Kenny Smith said on TV: "This story makes me full of expectations. I have 100% reason to believe that Bruce's future will never stop here."

"But the Toronto Raptors are going to stop there tonight."

Charles Barkley said: "The third record in the Eastern Conference and the honor of the best coach are particularly dazzling tonight. They made Bruce's trophy shine brighter and saved the Knicks from the mud with their sacrifice. Canada Human sentiment is really awe-inspiring."

Kenny shrugged. He didn't disagree with Sir Barclay's judgment.

After all, the Toronto Raptors' arrogance before the start of the series is really disgusting, and no one will jump out to sympathize with them at this time.

...

In the second half of the game, the rookies still pecked at each other in the preseason.

TJ Ford finally found a sense of presence in Nate Robinson, but this thin sense of presence obviously cannot support his arrogance before the start of the series. The Knicks didn't even intend to replace Nate Robinson. Anyway, the Raptors couldn't narrow the score, so it was so exhausting.

Isaiah Thomas starts stretching on the sidelines.

What a boring and unspectacular game.

But the fans at the scene didn't feel the loss of watching 'home video tape' in the cinema.

Instead, they got so excited that they turned Madison Gardens into a carnival scene. From the beginning of the third quarter, these excited guys began to play the wave dance of the whole court, unscrupulously celebrating the first time since 2000 to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals, and still swept the first round 4:0.

This kind of celebration is not stingy with humiliating delays for the Raptors who have not yet finished the game.

But they were powerless to resist, and without Chris Bosh, they could only sit back and laugh.

Time trampled on their dignity mercilessly. Li Zhen did not participate in the final execution ceremony, and he left the court with 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Because the Knicks already lead by 21 points.

He didn't want to be covered in sticky drinks, sprayed all over his face with white frothy champagne during the ensuing celebrations, and he didn't want to be worshiped as a god by those excited reporters.

"I'm not used to situations where group emotions get too intense."

Li Zhen told the camera following behind him.

Duan Ping asked Li Zhen unexpectedly: "But, as the team's number one hero, you should be the protagonist of the celebration. Aren't you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy. But I'd rather sweat than celebrate."

Li Chen walked into the weight room at Madison Gardens.

Duan Ping was unexpected.

Li Zhen didn't intend to put on a show in front of the camera, he trained seriously for 2 hours, until he was so exhausted that he didn't even have the energy to speak. He completely cut himself off from the noise, bustle and celebration outside.

Duan Ping was convinced.

He believed that this scene would definitely be featured on the most mainstream CCTV. Because Li Zhen practiced the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation with practical actions: diligence, hard work, and excellence.

But in fact, what Li Zhen thinks in his heart is more... quickly wake up the positive energy, and quickly water out the talent space with sweat. The next round of the playoffs is coming soon, if you don't sweat a little more at this time, it will be too late.

In the evening, Duan Ping drove Li Zhen's car to take him home.

Along the way, the radio in the car was playing the news that the Knicks swept the promotion, and the excited DJ praised the best rookie Li Zhen in an excited tone.

This made Duan Ping deep in thought. He looked at Li Zhen leaning on the passenger seat, and couldn't connect with the omnipotent urban hero on the radio.

Even more out of line with the promiscuous playboy in the entertainment news.

He is a hardworking and sunny boy.

Why did the American media edit news without a bottom line and eat his blood, causing the outside world to misunderstand him so deeply?

...

The news that the Knicks swept and eliminated the Toronto Raptors did not make the headlines on ESPN the next day, and they were not the main report in the pages of non-New York media. Because, Kobe Bryant actually got the first triple-double of his career in the playoffs last night. The data of 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists made the Houstonians swallow the bitter pill at home, which is beyond everyone's cognition : When did Kobe Bryant connect the pass button?

What's interesting is that Kobe once again mentioned Bruce Lee in an interview: "This is the consequence of Kupchak trading our best rookie to New York. I have to spend more time at the No. 1 position. If Bruce still Now, I don’t have to work so hard at all.”

This kind of complaint is very helpful to Li Zhen.

However, it is obviously difficult for Li Zhen to see this scene on the TV station in New York.

When he woke up the next day, he only saw Isaiah Thomas talking and laughing at the press conference on TV: "...This is actually a very untechnical series. I even think we have just gone through a period of preseason. Game-caliber drills. Have you ever seen a playoff game where they slaughtered opponents by 20.5 points per game?"

"I would like to congratulate Sam Mitchell for being the best coach of the season. His performance in the regular season deserves such recognition. After all, he brought Toronto to the third place in the Eastern Conference."

"I admire TJ Ford very much. But my love for Bruce is from the bottom of my heart. If you have to make comparisons, I can only say that I would not take a hamburger from a fast food restaurant to a Michelin three-star hotel and gobble it up. I have When he was with Bruce Lee, he would never give him a second look."

"...Okay, the last word. I can finally say it out loud to the fans in Toronto. Luckily, Thomas survived. I fulfilled your wish. The next thing we want to go to Canada is a tourist visa instead of a work visa."

Thomas' elation did not arouse the disgust of the New York media, but was applauded by the host.

Now the overall atmosphere in New York State is joy with a bit of irony. The joy is because the Knicks, a bad team for thousands of years, finally stand up and sing. The irony is, of course, the pretentious Toronto Raptors before the start of the series.

Just when Li Zhen was about to change the channel. Suddenly he heard a quarrel in the next room.

Last night, because it was too late, he arranged Duan Ping and the two photographers in his luxury apartment. Li Zhen didn't have the airs of a big-name star.

After a while, the arguing stopped.

Li Zhen just walked over, and he asked Duan Ping who was sitting there sulking: "What happened?"

Duan Ping was very depressed.

He said: "Our North American supervisor asked me to go to the Orlando training camp to track and report Yi Jianlian's itinerary immediately. He actually said that Yi Jianlian is the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team and that we should put all our limited resources on The roots are sprouting red on him."

"Moreover, he also said that the Knicks' elimination of the Raptors was luck and a coincidence. Next, the super-powerful Pistons will definitely eliminate the Knicks, a dark horse with no suspense. Let me not waste time, I am very happy Get angry and argue with him."

A day of getting along has already made him have a strong affection for Li Zhen, and he has a strong feeling of protecting the Lord deep in his heart.

"At present, it is generally believed that Yi Jianlian will be selected with the third overall pick. Apart from Oden and Durant, he is the most promising. After all, there are already two Chinese players who have achieved success in the NBA. Yi Jianlian's physical fitness So good, and at such a young age, he will definitely become a top power forward surpassing Yao Huang. Therefore, the North American director hopes that I can establish a good relationship with Yi as soon as possible, so that we can conduct interviews more smoothly in the future."

Forehead….

When Li Zhen heard this, he didn't know what to say.

This is their internal arrangement after all. It was inconvenient for him to comment, so he just said: "I can ask my cousin to take you to the airport. It's not too far from Orlando..."

"No!"

Before Li Zhenhua could finish speaking, Duan Ping had already refused: "I have rejected the North American director, skipped him, and directly sent the video I made last night to the domestic production director. I believe this video report will change Everyone's established cognition!!"
