The God of Basketball

"It's the god of basketball ()"

The birth of the two sons brought great joy to Li Zhen.

He even began to plan the future life path for his two sons.

"Li En should be a lawyer."

"Leon can become a professor."

Li Chen does not want his children to continue to be athletes. Generally speaking, it is difficult for the stories of old men and heroes to appear in professional sports. They do not have a barbaric growth process, and their rich family background makes them lack the tenacity of athletes.

What's more, with Li Chen's current net worth, even if his son does nothing, he can be a rich man for a lifetime.

After the Knicks won two consecutive victories at home, Li Zhen finally took off for Orlando. When he left, he was very reluctant to part. The two infant children made him lose some of his freedom.

So, it also increased the swing in his heart.

The thought of leaving New York began to take hold.

It's time for him to think about his family.

...

The Orlando Magic are really easy to play.

Warcraft Howard couldn't figure out why he played abnormally every time he met the Knicks in his life. He didn't look like the best blue-collar center in the Eastern Conference at all.

Gasol Jr. and Zach Randolph turned him into a famous Shaanxi dish... Roujiamo.

When Stan Van Gundy saw Li Zhen coming back, he didn't even squat down to the side of the court to direct...it doesn't make any sense.

The teams in the East, the Atlanta Hawks, the Orlando Magic, and even the Cleveland Cavaliers, were all beaten by the Knicks without a temper. They didn't even have the heart to resist.

This is even more terrifying than the East ruled by Michael Jordan back then!

So, in the end.

People still have to give Isiah Thomas the thumbs up.

Because the lineup formed by the Knicks is really the best and cheapest team in history, the most cost-effective output, and the most fucking team that can conquer the Eastern Conference.

It's crazy to kill!

"Strictly speaking, the Knicks now even have four All-Stars, and seven or eight players who are close to the All-Stars. They are still improving...and there is no chemical conflict, and they are completely united around Bruce."

"The Knicks are already the kings of the East. What's even more terrifying is that they will be unstoppable. The only thing that can tear them apart is the salary space... Wait until Gasol, Dragic, Eric Gordon, Gallinari The rookie contracts of these players expire, and the Knicks will definitely not be able to match their contracts."

"However, at least for the next two years, the Knicks are still the most competitive team in the East." Charles Barkley was analyzing on TV.

But in fact, the Knicks didn't play so well in the first half of the game.

After Li Zhen joined, Phil Jackson still advocated the triangle offense, forcing Li Zhen to the strong side and let him play singles with his back.

This is equivalent to asking Zhang Fei to embroider.

Li Zhen's singles ability is more than enough to protect himself, but it is simply too difficult for him to take the initiative to break the defense.

Therefore, some opportunities were seized by Orlando, which led to a see-saw of the game.

But in the second half of the second quarter, Li Zhen and Dragic joined forces to accelerate, and the game was completely moving in the direction of the Knicks.

Another victory without any suspense.

Li Zhen was even a little tired.

After the game, I hurried back to the hotel and had a video communication with Los Angeles without even taking a shower. No matter how cold the man is in front of the children, he always looks like a baby, and he can’t help but say the same sound: This situation will at least continue to the children until elementary school.

However, given Li Chen's current situation, he may remain in this state for the next ten or even fifteen years.

Because, Mary Olsen secretly told him that she had begun to conceive.

If this news gets out, other blues girls definitely won't sit idly by. At that time, there will even be a vigorous baby boom.

Li Zhen nodded his head.

That's why he didn't mention what he was doing when he returned to the team.

He also asked for leave on the grounds of personal affairs.

In fact, this has already made Jerry West a little grudge.

He is worried that Li Zhen's mind is no longer fully focused on basketball, because the whole world knows that Li Zhen's investment in the past few years is generating crazy returns.

Facebook's current market capitalization alone would have put him on the Forbes list. Moreover, Facebook has already begun to promote the IPO. Once Facebook, a unicorn-shaped super Internet company, goes public, Li Zhen's wealth will naturally surpass that of the boss of the Portland Trail Blazers... Paul Allen is only Microsoft's No. Three's individual shareholders, Bruce's shareholding in Facebook is second only to the founder.

That's Jerry West's concern.

Because for Li Zhen, even the top salary in the NBA is not worth mentioning. But for any team president, this is a super risky investment.

If Li Zhen indulges himself from now on and becomes a billionaire, the team will be destroyed in the next ten years.

The NBA has a salary cap.

And the Knicks' young people are all so strong, and each of them must have an annual salary of tens of millions.

Jerry West has a headache. He feels that Isiah Thomas has taken away the good name and left the headache to him. It's just a gorgeous mess.

Fortunately, the Knicks won the two games Li Zhen left.

This seems to prove... Another thing, the Knicks' success is not only due to Li Zhen himself, but also because of the strength of the entire team.

And the strength of the team seems to indicate another problem...

Jerry West had a bold and terrifying idea.

The thought was fleeting.

He quickly dismissed it.

The entire New York City regards Li Zhen as a basketball hero, if the Knicks do not renew Li Zhen. Then... Jerry West, the general manager, will definitely step down. No one can tolerate such a stupid thing happening.

Even if Li Zhen does not come to the team every day in the future, or becomes a big fat man, at this moment, the Knicks should unconditionally offer a top contract extension.

However, Phil Jackson suddenly didn't think so.

Li Zhen has become his demon.

He realized that the biggest challenge he experienced in his career was Li Zhen.

In the past, he could easily control any superstar in his hands. Even guys like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant obeyed him.

Moreover, even if there are occasional quarrels, he will use some locker room methods to create dissatisfaction among the players. For example, it is hard to say that the collapse of the OK combination did not have the role of "adjustment" in the middle. And, when Michael Jordan and general manager Klaus were in trouble, he also had a share of the credit.

The oriental culture course that Phil Jackson studied is very likely not the Zen of asceticism, but the imperial mind of playing tricks.

However, when it came to the Knicks, it didn't work at all.

He can't provoke anyone, and the Knicks locker room is in a class of its own.

As long as Li Zhen is willing, he can even make Jackson order out of the tactical board.

Moreover, he knows tactics himself. He stands on the court, and with a few commands, he can put the team into an efficient victory mode.

This makes the players have no respect for the coaching staff.

I even feel that the coaching team is just a decoration, or a tool to add details.

If you are a new coach, you will definitely like to stay in such a team, because it can greatly improve your practical ability, and the player team also has its own tactical error correction function, which can allow young coaches to grow rapidly.

But Phil Jackson is different. He has become famous and has a lot of honors in his hands. Why should he come to be a frontman?

He came to the Knicks to further prove himself, not only the ability to manipulate tactics, but also the level of team management.

If we say, the series with the Atlanta Hawks exposed the irreconcilable conflict between him and Li Zhen.

The first two wins against the Magic, then, add to Phil Jackson's ambitions.

He wanted to put aside Li Zhen and flex his muscles.

Li Zhen has become a dragon in his heart.

He needs to slay the dragon in order to realize his final ambition in life.

Although, the Knicks are already a championship team now. But this championship team has little to do with him.

For careerists, this is the most uncomfortable.

...

The Orlando Magic did not make it to Game 5 in the end.

Because they met the impatient Li Zhen.

Li Zhen really didn't have the time to play a tug-of-war with them, and he led his team to go berserk in the fourth game.

In his opinion, it doesn't matter what tactics are used, the important thing is to kill the opponent cleanly.

Under his leadership, the Knicks were aggressive and extremely vigorous, and they clocked out of get off work in three and a half quarters with ease.

The media shouted wolf!

The invincible Knicks are back.

ESPN even played: The Knicks used the entire regular season to prove that the triangle offense is not feasible. When Bruce improves the rhythm, the invincible division raises its iron hoof again!

Such reports are especially exciting for Knicks fans.

Because, who doesn't miss last season's undefeated team since the All-Star break?

16:0 all swept to win the championship, how cool!

Who would want a few more blemishes on their trophy.

Only, Phil Jackson was sad.

He worked hard all season and it turned out to be in vain.

This once again deepened his prejudice against Li Zhen.

He even made a strange statement to reporters at the press conference after the game: "I don't know where Bruce has gone. Since the playoffs, he has always been elusive and alone. We only know that he let the team leader for He bought a plane ticket to Los Angeles. Maybe it was because of some family matters. After all, you also know...Jack Lee..."

Having said that, he made a deliberate pause.

For the laughter at the scene.

The news that Jack Lee gave birth to a younger brother for Bruce has always been a joke in the NBA. Many rival teams will even use this to stimulate Li Zhen by displaying banners at home.

It is obviously reckless for Zen Master to say such a thing as the head coach of the Knicks at this time.

This made Zach Randolph, who was sitting next to him, fight back on the spot.

"Where Bruce goes is his freedom. He is the leader of this team. We just swept the Orlando Magic under his leadership. You guys should give him enough respect!"

After Zac said this, he left the table angrily.

And on the plane back to New York, he was very rude to Phil Jackson: "Others can ridicule this matter, but you can't. You have to remember, you are not the head coach of the Lakers now, you are with us Yes. Even, you are our leader. Don’t let us think you are an outsider.”

Randolph angrily accused Jackson.

This is even collectively recognized by the players.

Everyone thought that Jackson's behavior at the press conference was too reckless.

For the first time in his life, Jackson received a collective boycott from the players.

He fell silent.

...

The Knicks' triumph gave Boston a great sense of oppression.

This year may be the last time Boston has launched a strong impact on the championship. The Big Three are getting older and older, and Kevin Garnett's strength has even declined this season due to injuries.

But fortunately, the team quickly introduced two other veterans, Rasheed Wallace and Michael Finley, both of whom are former All-Stars and still maintain good skills.

If this lineup still does nothing this year.

Then, the Big Three plan formed by McHale will become the most failed and anticlimactic reconstruction operation in NBA history.

Therefore, they are extremely urgent.

However, the newcomer Chicago Bulls standing in their way is keeping them in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Thibodeau may be the person who knows the Celtics' defensive system best: in fact, the Celtics' defensive system was built by him. Rivers knows shitty defense, he is a chicken soup maker for the soul.

Moreover, Derrick Rose still played a vital role in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

His super impact has become a severe test for the old Celtics.

Although the Celtics can always drag the game into a stalemate, Derrick Rose can always create lightning splits.

When the Knicks won 4-0, Boston was still preparing for the battle at Tianwangshan.

In this series, no one knows what the outcome will be.

However, people have already made a conclusion about the Eastern Conference finals.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the Knicks, who are even stronger this year than last year, are unlikely to lose to either the Celtics or the Bulls.

Because the Knicks are younger than the Bulls. More Finals experience than the Celtics.

Interestingly, Derrick Rose spoke in front of the media again.

"Bruce gave me a lot of advice, which greatly helped me structure the Celtics' defense!"

As soon as these words came out, many people suddenly became enlightened.

It turns out that this year's showrunner, the Bulls, was actually set up by Bruce.

Poor people in Cleveland thought it was a clever trick for him to slip to fourth, but no, he was hacked to death immediately.

The Celtics thought they had climbed to the top with no worries, and now, they were dragged into a deadly battle.

In terms of strategy, it's still Bruce Lee Gaoming.

He drove the tiger and devoured the wolf with one hand, waiting for work with ease is really clever.

Boston and Cleveland thought they had taken advantage of it, but actually fell into a bitter battle.

The Knicks thought it would be difficult, but it turned out to be a smooth journey.

It can be said that the organ was too clever in its calculations, and it cost Qingqing's life instead.
