For New York fans.

The night of winning the championship was a blurry rainy night.

The joy of defending the title cannot dilute the sadness of Liren.

The moment Bruce Lee turned and walked into the player tunnel, tears blurred the eyes of many people, and some people cried like tears.

everybody knows.

Bruce Lee is not coming back!

Madison Gardens lost their king.

That night, Zach Randolph publicly declared in the media that he would not renew his contract and that he was seeking a deal.

That night, Marc Gasol said he had no reason to continue fighting in the city.

That night, Francisco thought his Knicks journey should come to an end.

That night, Matt Barnes said he would follow in Bruce's footsteps, and I was completely free.

This night, the mighty New York Knicks collapsed on the eve of opening the dynasty.

Jerry West and Phil Jackson, including the New York management, endured the insults of the entire city and the ridicule of the basketball world that night.

And the aura shown by the New York players is the reckless loyalty of this business alliance that has disappeared!

After three and a half years, Li Chen ended in the most brilliant and saddest way.

From then on, Xiao Lang was a passerby.

...

The next day's newspapers were overwhelmingly reporting the collapse of the New York dynasty, and the whole city was dejected under the championship trophy.

Many New York consortia even expressed their intention to acquire the Knicks, and their purpose was to keep Bruce Lee and his brothers in New York.

The New York dynasty cannot be interrupted!

But, it was too late!

Other teams in the league have frantically sent emails, phone calls, and text messages to Jack Lee, and they have contacted Li Zhen in every possible way.

Nobody wants Bruce Lee.

Although it is recognized in the basketball circle, LeBron James' personal strength is stronger than Li Zhen.

However, if Bruce Lee and James are in the easy-to-get position at the same time, more than 80% of the general managers will choose Lee: the past record has long proved that Li Zhen is the winner.

Jack Lee did not respond to any news. He declared that Li Zhen would return to his family. The injuries he suffered in New York made it very likely that he would never pursue a basketball career.

These remarks once again pushed the New York management to the cusp.

The reputations accumulated by Jerry West and Phil Jackson for half a lifetime were all exchanged for insults and attacks in just two days.

"Forcing Bruce Lee away, tearing up the New York Dynasty. This is the rope that hangs them on the pillar of shame, and they will never try to break free in this life!"

The New York Times unceremoniously gave the cruelest evaluation.

In fact, fans of other teams, general managers and owners of other teams are cursing these two as enemies.

Overnight, they became Qin Hui in the NBA.

Everyone knows what Li Chen means to basketball. He is Michael Jordan's appointed successor and is already on the way to dominate the league. As a result... these two self-righteous bastards actually forced him out of the alliance.

How much attention the alliance lost because of this, and how much money was lost because of it!

Neither West nor Jackson could have dreamed of their notoriety.

At the same time, they also received a stern warning from James Dolan.

After James Dolan arrived in New York, he immediately asked Li Zhen to meet.

But Li Zhen didn't agree, and just chatted on the phone.

James Dolan made a great concession, and he even said that he could sell 10% of the shares to the Li family.

too late.

Li Zhen refused.

The market capitalization of the New York Knicks is much higher than that of the Los Angeles Clippers, and a 10 percent stake is worth more than 25 percent of the Clippers.

However, he spoke too late.

Li Zhen's heart has been broken.

It's hard to get overwhelmed.

All I can say is: Treasure! !

James Dolan hung up the phone very helplessly, and he continued to call Isiah Thomas.

He hoped that Isiah Thomas would help persuade him, but his dark-faced confidant also expressed that he could not help: it was too late!

Their rhetoric is the same.

"I thought, you were going to call me when the team traded Eddie Griffin. But you didn't."

Isiah Thomas said on the other end of the phone: "You used to obey me. You shouldn't give up on yourself and let a woman manage the team. This matter may cost you more than one billion dollars in economic losses."

James Dolan's parent company tumbled in the Dow.

But this might just be the beginning.

"What you have to do now is not to beg me to turn back, but to let Jerry West and Phil Jackson continue to run the team. They are both very capable careerists. Unexpected action. Maybe, recovery. If you fire them, the anger of the fans will directly attack you. Use them as a shield and let them do business."

In the end, Isaiah gave an idea to his former confidant.

This is his last tenderness.

James Dolan followed his advice.

So far, it's hard to get overwhelmed. The two careerists can only bear the infamy and carry out the operation.

...

Li Chen was absent from the Knicks championship parade, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol were both absent.

That made the Knicks' championship ceremony the most chilled out ever.

There wasn't even much laughter to be seen at the scene.

Most Knicks players are planning their new journey.

At the same time, Phil Jackson and Jerry West also started their new jobs amidst a lot of scolding, and they all tried their best to prove themselves.

It proves that the dynasty can still be started without Li Zhen.

The first big fight they made was... Chris Bosh.

Bosh fell out with the Raptors as early as 2009, and actually went back to the time when they were swept by the Knicks in the first round of 2007.

Bosh was tired of the Toronto weather and the anguish of being away from home.

He can't wait to get back to America.

Originally, the Miami Heat were chasing him crazily, and Pat Riley even went to Toronto himself.

However, the reputation of the fortune teller is obviously not as loud as that of Phil Jackson and Jerry West. The connections of these two people in the NBA are really amazing.

Chris Bosh was quickly convinced.

And, he started to put pressure on the team.

He hopes to reach a sign-and-trade deal with the Raptors. This is not for the sake of his old club, but for himself. Because if it is signed first and then changed, he can get a 6-year contract extension of 125 million US dollars at most.

If you sign with the Knicks directly as a free agent, you can only get a maximum of 5 years and 96 million US dollars.

The Raptors don't really want to do Chris Bosh.

The two sides are wrangling.

What's interesting is that the Knicks are very supportive of Bosh's signing and trading or direct signing.

Because, Zach Randolph has indicated that he is leaving.

Based on the friendship between Randolph and Li Zhen, forcing him to stay will lead to strife in the locker room.

After all, before he came to New York, he was known for his stabs.

In addition to flirting with Chris Bosh and getting his initial intention to join. Phil Jackson and Jerry West have never cut ties with LeBron James.

They are very hot.

But James is clearly a master at manipulating people's hearts.

He has been up for grabs.

Not as loose as Bosh.

He kept asking New York: "In addition to getting Bosh, you also need to introduce an All-Star. At the same time, you must keep one of Gallinari or Francisco. Without a shooter, I can't use it. Dragic Chi has to stay, he's a good point guard."

"Marc Gasol better stay, we can't do without a rebounder. But if he insists on leaving with Bruce, then trade for a full-size center who can rebound."

James' request, Phil Jackson and Jerry West agreed.

But when Jerry West asked him if he would like to make a verbal statement, he balked and said he would make a televised decision.

This is in line with his identity.

Forehead….

The two veterans were played and applauded by James.

No one knew what he was thinking.

Anyway, he also played fiercely with the Nets, Heat, and Bulls at the same time. These three teams have their own strengths.

At this time, Jerry West suddenly made an amazing decision.

"If we stole Pat Riley's hometown, James will definitely join!!"

Phil Jackson clapped his hands, wonderful!

To be honest, these two old careerists only regard Pat Riley as their opponent. Although they are now on Chris Bosh, if...Pat Riley gets Stoudemire and at the same time locks Wade, with James' character of seeking stability, he may still go to the Heat.

Although, the Bulls are also very competitive.

But James still needs a little bit of face. Just after being killed by young people in the playoffs, he turned around and defected again. He couldn't face it. Moreover, it is impossible for Nike to allow its own company's top player to play for Adidas' top team.

It's pretty obvious sneaker politics.

Therefore, before the draft, the media took pictures of Dwyane Wade and Jerry West drinking coffee in New York.

Wade actually doesn't want to leave the Heat that much, but the prosperity of New York is what he yearns for.

Most importantly, New York is being taken for a ride.

They have money.

"If you guys can convince Pat Riley to sign-and-trade and keep LeBron in, I'll sign with you. I don't want to take the blame."

Wade's bottom line is clear.

But his words immediately brought difficulty to the Knicks.

If Chris Bosh completes the sign-and-trade, he will get a six-year, $125 million contract. Wade is also signed first and then traded. He is also 125 million US dollars in 6 years.

What about LeBron James?

He can't be less than these two.

In this way, New York's salary space is completely locked.

It turned out that the healthy finance carefully built by Isaiah Thomas went bankrupt in an instant, and it became even more difficult to sign in later.

And, in Pat Riley's taste. If you really want to sign first and then trade, then you must not empty out the Knicks' current high-quality assets.

The two old foxes were in trouble.

They can only do ideological work for the two players one by one, what to say... brother basketball, win the championship together and so on. It's best not to sign first and then change.

But, Chris Bosh wants money.

Dwyane Wade doesn't want to be scolded,

LeBron James also has to protect his benevolent reputation with the people of his hometown.

so……

The front of the two old careerists was full of Coptis chinensis.

...

Li Zhen returned to Los Angeles after the end of the season. He stayed behind closed doors and watched over his two sons every day.

The equity exchange was completed on Friday after Li Chen arrived in Los Angeles.

Jack Lee bought a 26% stake from Donald Sterling for $170 million.

The contract also clearly stipulates that if Sterling wants to sell shares in the future, it can only be sold to Jack Lee.

And, interestingly enough.

Since the Li family and his son only provided 70 million US dollars in cash, the remaining 100 million US dollars was lent to Jack Lee by Donald Sterling at a low interest rate.

This seems to be replaying the story of Sterling lending money to Bass to buy the Lakers.

Sterling couldn't help feeling familiar.

With the determination of equity.

The board immediately held a new meeting, and then the team fired Pelinka and Dunleavy Sr., and everything was left empty.

As the draft is approaching, the trading window will also open.

Li Zhen gave clear instructions at home.

"This year is a small draft year. However, our signings should still be mainly rookies."

"Byron Davis could be traded out for draft picks."

"We're going to take Paul George with the eighth pick this year."

"If you can get a better pick, you can pick Hayward. The second-round signing can choose this...Whiteside."

Li Zhen explained to the deputy general manager of the team.

The deputy general manager is very strange.

However, the boss's instructions are to follow Li Zhen's orders completely.

Now...the Clippers have understood that Li Zhen will join. This also explains why the Clippers are silent in the draft market and do not chase super big names at all.

It's just... Can the existing players and a few rookies play an immediate role? I heard that several teams are preparing to form a super league.

The deputy general manager Thomson was very puzzled.

At this time, the Clippers are almost as poor as they are poor.

Their only valuable players are last year's No. 1 pick, Blake Griffin, and Jordan and Griffin, who were traded from New York.

Others, like Chris Kaman, have been put on the trade agenda. Baron Davis is actually about to be traded, and has already locked his next home.

It doesn't matter if all the other players are fired. They are all short-term contracts, with a group of cats and dogs.

A healthy group of cap space.

Even have to teach the poor tax.

...

Before the draft, David Stern suddenly announced that he would amend a regulation.

And set about holding a meeting of all bosses before the draft meeting to consult the opinions of the bosses.

This news made everyone confused.

But in the next 3 hours, there were people who did not want to be named. At this meeting, the regulations to be revised are about the priority signing rights after the end of the rookie contract.

David Stern wants to change it to: All players who have won two Finals MVPs or more in their rookie contracts will not be restricted by the contract, and can jump out of the contract and become a completely restricted player. And can sign a top contract.

As soon as the news came out, the management of New York collectively scolded their mothers.

Jerry West and Phil Jackson had their scalps tingling, and they planned to take advantage of Li Zhen's priority to get the contract of the Big Three.

Unexpectedly, the referee David Stern directly stole their back door.

Of course they protested, with James Dolan spearheading a complaint to the league.

However, he only has one vote! !

The other 29 bosses are not fools.

The rookie contract gets two finals MVPs, isn't this clearly a Bruce clause?

Who wouldn't live without this adult beauty?

And, what if Bruce chooses to join his team?

People still have dreams.

Therefore, this article passed the customs directly with a super high approval rate of 29:1.

The New York media wailed.

It's over!

Bruce's New York days are over!

There will be no more miracles, no more change of heart.

David Stern has acquiesced that Bruce can join any team at will.

This shows how unpopular New York's previous actions were.
