0745: [No easy success](1/2)
Although Li Zhen said that he is just an ordinary player and has no decision-making power.
However, after the game, reporters still photographed Li Zhen meeting Nowitzki and Mark Cuban. The three people chatted for a long time in Cuban's exclusive RV... This is a super bus converted
Completed RV.
It even has one room and one hall, as well as a conference room.
I have to say something with emotion: It’s great to have money.
Mark Cuban is also very open-minded. Just after Li Zhen praised his RV, he said he would give it to Li Zhen.
Li Zhen laughed, how can this be done? No reward for no merit. Moreover, the rules of the alliance do not allow it.
Mark Cuban is very generous, so let me lend it to you.
Forehead….
Two billionaires actually discussed this kind of car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, this car was finally given away by Mark Cuban.
Li Zhen thought it would be good to take this car and go fishing at the beach occasionally.
Moreover, the space of this car is so large that it should be very comfortable to carry out a special sport.
Very helpless, Li Zhen's thinking has been tainted by women like Scarlett.
Capitalist society is really too degenerate.
Mark Cuban and Li Zhen are also talking about capital.
Basically, David Stern and other owners around the league have already passed it. There will be no obstacles to the Clippers and Mavericks trade.
The Clippers can safely send Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan to Texas.
However, according to the current rules, the Mavericks have to pay the two players the starting salary of the second contract equally as a match. In other words, if Jordan's new contract has a starting salary of 11 million US dollars, then Mark Cuban will
The Clippers will have to pay US$11 million as training fees.
If Blake Griffin's starting salary is $14 million, Mark Cuban will have to pay $14 million.
However, the Clippers have to pay 30% of these two amounts to the league as the entire league's expenses, which is equivalent to being shared equally with other teams.
Li Zhen has no problem with this.
Anyway, this is money that came out of thin air. It is impossible for me to support Griffin and Jordan for the rest of their lives.
Moreover, even 70% is a huge financial gain for the Clippers.
For the Mavericks, it is equivalent to paying a luxury tax. However, they are very willing to pay this money, because such a potential superstar is so worth the money.
Many teams are willing to give it.
However, Li Zhen has already negotiated with Mark Cuban.
Tonight, they were talking about Nowitzki.
Mark Cuban said straight to the point that he would buy out Nowitzki's contract, then let Nowitzki play for one or two seasons with the Clippers, win a championship and return it to the Mavericks.
Because he hopes Nowitzki can make up for the regrets in his career and retire in Dallas.
Li Zhen was very moved after hearing Mark Cuban's words. To be honest, he admired Mark Cuban's friendship for Nowitzki. This is not something that ordinary bosses can do. For some bosses, even a superstar
He held it to death in his hands and refused to let it go.
Of course, Nowitzki is also a trustworthy person.
If Nowitzki is really bought out and walks away, there will be nothing Mark Cuban can do.
This kind of relationship between the two people... In Li Zhen's impression, it may only be comparable to the relationship between James Dolan and Isiah Thomas.
However, there are still essential differences between the two.
After all, the media has never exposed any rumors about Mark Cuban and Nowitzki, even though Texas is one of the birthplaces of the famous Brokeback Mountain in North America. Its historical status is equivalent to the status of a southwest city in our country.
Um... Texas can be considered the southwest in the United States... Could it be?
Back to business.
Li Zhen agreed with Mark Cuban’s suggestion.
He also generously offered to give Nowitzki a two-year mid-level contract.
Nowitzki is still in his singles year.
Li Zhen figured it out. Since it was decided to send away the two main insiders, DeAndre Jordan and Griffin, in the off-season, new energy must be added. Although Anthony Davis, this year's quasi-number one pick, is extremely talented, he still needs someone to grow up.
process.
Therefore, it is essential to supplement Nowitzki, a power forward with historical status.
Moreover, O'Neal Jr. is also thinking about retirement.
Therefore, Li Zhen even wanted to sign Garnett, which could be regarded as fulfilling his dream.
Since both parties were interested in each other, the conversation was very successful.
On the way home, Li Zhen had actually been thinking about the deployment of members for next season. It was obviously not enough to get Nowitzki and Anthony Davis. Although Ray Allen had basically got it, Garnett
It’s also just a beckoning call away.
However, the attrition rate after this season was too high.
It's even possible that ** of them will walk away.
Should we stick to the route of veterans and newcomers, or should we change our approach and get some backbone in the transaction?
Li Zhen's thinking was interrupted after returning home.
He has to run in a new relay race.
Because the female athletes in his backyard have even arranged the order of 'baton passing', Scarlett Johansson wants to take the last baton because she wants to have a second child.
Anyway, idle time is idle.
Li Zhen was very sad, looking at them in track and field uniforms.
He was already starting to have a headache.
In the past, he had thought about retiring early, such as retiring after winning seven or eight championships, so as to give other players some ways to survive.
But with the current situation, I'm afraid he won't leave until 2020.
Because the rush of the season will be his protection.
Men are really fragile.
Ying Ying Ying!
…
Three days later.
The Knicks are more vulnerable.
They lost again at Staples Center.
Although Allen Iverson did not play in this game.
Although Allen's back was not seriously injured, both he and the doctor believed that there was no risk for him to play, but for safety reasons, Li Zhen still put him on the observation list.
The Knicks played very hard in this game. LeBron James can even be described as a desperate man. In desperation, he even made a classic sixth-step layup.
But, it's a pity.
Even though he and Wade tried their best to drag the game into overtime, they ultimately failed to stop Stephen Nash's three-pointer and Li Zhen's consecutive mid-range jumpers.
Originally, the Knicks had a chance to go into the second overtime, but Li Zhen jumped up in the air, caught the basketball and threw it towards the basket, and the basketball actually went in.
A killer kill in 0.9 seconds.
The Knicks are dead.
Lost another 3 points.
At that time, when the whistle sounded and the goal was effectively achieved, LeBron James even lost his composure in public. He held his head tightly with both hands and squatted down amidst the cheers and screams of the audience.
This is the first time that the Chosen One has been beaten to the point of collapse.
He felt that his fate was so unfair.
How come they have fought so hard, exhausted all the energy of the Clippers veterans, and are about to win in the second overtime, but why are they defeated?
How could Bruce do this?
LeBron even wanted to cry a little bit.
He was so sad.
Li Zhen walked over, pulled him up and gave him a hug.
Although I didn’t know what to comfort him, I patted the back of his head and said to him: Come on!
It’s still your duty as a winner.
Li Zhen no longer hates LeBron James so much.
