Jerry Buss received Li Zhen very grandly.

Although he looked very weak and in extremely poor health, when Li Zhen walked into his office, he walked over quickly and gave the rising star a big hug.

He worked very hard, which was an external manifestation of his inner passion.

"Bruce, you gave me a huge surprise. When I chose you this summer, I had doubts. But now... you have plunged me into an unprecedented surprise. This is why I can't wait to meet you.

"

Jerry Buss showed his affection as soon as he came on.

He is indeed a very charismatic boss, and he brings a feeling of spring breeze.

The conversation between the two did not start with basketball, but with the Internet. The veteran businessman actually had some knowledge of the Internet, and then he also said that he also held some Apple stocks. But not as many as Li Zhen. Immediately afterwards

He also talked about a little story about how he once went to Stanford University to donate money.

The relationship between each other is getting closer at a speed visible to the naked eye in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

Then, in the midst of chatting and laughing, Old Buss suddenly asked a question: "Among the team management, who is closer to Jim or Jenny?"

"I sometimes discuss basketball-related issues with Jenny, but I have no such contact with Jim." Li Zhen answered objectively.

Old Bass nodded slightly.

Then, he asked: "How many years do you think our current lineup can compete for the championship."

Li Zhen thought about this question very seriously, and the answer in his heart was... If I can play against a team like the Spurs a few more times, maybe there will be hope in these two seasons.

But he was still very conservative and answered very decisively: "Within five years, we will definitely get the championship ring!!"

Old Bass smiled after hearing this.

He didn't notice Li Zhen's affirmative sentence pattern, or in other words, he was tired of hearing other people's affirmative sentence patterns, so he became numb. The heaviest word that fell into his eardrums was 'five years'.

Five years!!

Old Bass raised his head slightly, it was such a long time. He was even worried about whether his current physical condition could last until that time.

This is the speech gap between Easterners and Westerners.

Westerners are very confident, and they often say "arrogant" words. Easterners, on the other hand, are usually conservative. If they can achieve a goal in three years, they will leave sufficient buffer time and convert it into five years.

"I heard that you are interested in this year's American Music Awards. This year's awards ceremony will be held at Staples Arena. What show will you perform?" Old Bass naturally changed the subject.

Li Zhen shrugged: "I haven't discussed it with the Olsen sisters yet. They are responsible for taking care of my affairs in the entertainment industry. All my attention is on the court."

"Sisters Olsen, you are very nice girls. So, you guy, who is your girlfriend? I'm really tired of reporters calling me to ask for confirmation."

"Hahahaha, next time you can transfer the call directly to me. By the way. Sir, what is your mobile phone number?"

Li Zhen changed the topic naturally. They are both masters of Tai Chi.

The chat was very enjoyable.

However, when Li Zhen left, he couldn't even remember what the focus of the chat was. It was like a tea party between the boss and his employees?

Li Zhen shrugged his shoulders and decided to call Ashley Olsen to ask her about the American Music Awards.

After receiving the call, Ashley complained quite complaining: Hey, you kid, do you still know how to call me? I thought you had been kidnapped by Hilary Duff or Lindsay Lohan and ravaged to some uninhabited island.

The diligent person is dead.

Later, Ashley began to care about Li Zhen's injuries on Christmas Eve.

He also told him to pay attention to his recuperation before starting to talk about the American Music Awards.

Ashley is quite optimistic about this award ceremony. She believes that Li Zhen will be the biggest winner because no other nominee can compare with him, at least in the hearts of Ashley sisters.

…

On the night when Li Zhen and Ashley finished their phone call, the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a disastrous defeat in Orlando. Although in this game, Kobe Bryant rushed into the penalty area and dunked over Dwight Howard, which was not included in the five games that night.

The best goal. But the score of 125:101 cruelly highlighted the Lakers' predicament in this game.

After losing Li Zhen, the Lakers' point-chasing second lineup was directly scrapped. The three shooters Radmanovic, Eddie Griffin and Vujacic were directly eliminated, and Kwame Brown even performed as a butter player.

What makes Los Angeles fans even more frustrated is that the prickly Eddie Griffin, who has been cultivating himself this season, has revealed his true colors. When he was interviewed after the game, he directly refused to buy Kobe Bryant's account when facing Orlando reporters:

"I can't play this kind of ball. My position on the defensive end is severely squeezed. On the offensive end, I always catch the ball with the last few seconds left. How can I ensure my hit rate?"

He made 1 of 8 shots in the game and was full of resentment.

According to irresponsible gossip, in the Lakers locker room, Eddie Griffin even publicly quarreled with Kobe Bryant, saying that he couldn't pass the ball at all.

The even scarier thing is that Eddie Griffin is not fighting alone.

With the added fuel and jealousy of journalists who are good at writing and writing, it turned into a locker room coup.

Li Zhen, who was recuperating from an injury in Los Angeles, was actually considered by them to be the man hiding in the mirror. He was the one who remotely controlled the second team to publicly sideline Kobe Bryant.

When Li Zhen saw these reports, his head, which was already shaking, was immediately confused: Am I just sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky?

Even more incredible news came out the next day. The Miami Herald actually exposed the Heat's mid-term signing plan: Pat Riley actually planned to trade Shaquille O'Neal for Kwame Brown and Ediger.

Riffin, Radmanovic and Bruce Lee.

This sounds like an April Fool's Day prank.

How is it possible to engage in such a transaction?

Unless the Lakers and Heat are crazy.

Even Shark couldn't help but jump out and laugh: "This is the most ridiculous trade rumor I have ever heard. I would rather believe that the team will trade me to New York for Eddy Curry than believe this ridiculous rumor.

"

However, when the Lakers faced off against the Boston Celtics and news broke that Eddie Griffin and Radmanovic were suspended at the same time, rumors about trades became more and more common, and those who were at odds with the Purple and Gold

The rumors spread even more loudly.

Some teams that coveted Li Zhen began to send feelers to the Lakers.

It seems that a storm is coming!!
