It was three days after the Finals when LeBron James appeared in front of the camera again.

He looked tired.

After the season ended, he did not return to New York. After staying in Los Angeles for a few days, he would go straight to Las Vegas to participate in the US team's game.

Last night, he met with Kobe Bryant.

Two Nike stars previously attended Nike's official event together. When two frustrated people stay together, what else can they talk about besides talking about Li Zhen?

They had already made up their minds and decided to give Li Zhen some color in London.

"Bruce Lee started his four consecutive NBA championships after winning the last Olympic championship. Just in time, the new Olympics is coming. This is a new reincarnation. Kobe, Wade, me, and all the members of the Dream Team have already

Be prepared, they all have a strong belief."

"We will take back our glory in the Olympics."

LeBron James said categorically when asked by reporters.

He has been hailed as one of the greatest losers in NBA history, and there are even some faint voices circulating: Why not award the Finals MVP to him? His statistics are more gorgeous than Bruce's and, every game, he is

Full marks for the performance.

Many people compare him to Jerry West back then.

Jerry West doesn't want to mention this matter. He has resigned from New York in a low-key manner. His new job is the president of the Golden State Warriors. People like him will never lack job opportunities.

Although his three and a half years in New York were considered a failure by many, he did win two championship trophies and entered the finals every year.

Although driving away Isiah Thomas was the biggest stain in his career, people did not blame him for driving away Bruce Lee, although he was also one of the instigators.

Moreover, he was able to deal with the Big Three in the summer of 2010 under such circumstances and form a strong team that swept the Eastern Conference. He really showed his ability and skill.

However, he will never recall the past three years.

He just wants to start over.

He considers the Golden State Warriors to be a place with great opportunities. He is very optimistic about the young people in Golden State. He feels that the young people in Golden State only lack a good coach and a chance to take off.

So, he came.

For LeBron James, Jerry West's departure is undoubtedly bad news. To a certain extent, he seems to be informing him: the plan failed, the commander has gone away, do you still want to

It's up to you to stay on the front line against the Clippers.

If it were the old LeBron, he might have run away with the bucket.

After all, once you are born again, you will be familiar again.

But now, LeBron James has decided to stay and fight in New York.

"This season has passed for me. Everything in the past is prologue. Next season, my brothers and I will continue to have the most courageous impact on the championship. Next season we will be even stronger."

When James talks about next season.

People have to mention the Los Angeles Clippers, who just successfully defended their title.

Jason Kidd, Allen Iverson, Ron Artest, and Jermaine O'Neal, the four veterans collectively announced their retirement.

Although Stephen Nash said he would stay to finish out his contract, and Vince Carter also said he would enjoy the rest of his career, it is undoubtedly a crazy change for the Clippers.

The crazier thing is that although the season is over.

The previous rumors have become clear, and there are constant rumors that the Clippers are going to trade new talent.

Some are coming from Dallas, some are coming from Charlotte, and there's also all kinds of news coming from Houston.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building.

What's more important in the past two days is that news began to spread from Los Angeles.

First, Blake Griffin's father told the media that Blake is no longer satisfied with being a deputy. He hopes to be a leader of a team next season, just like Paul George.

Then there was news from Jordan's friends that he hoped to return to his hometown team to play for him.

And Gordon Hayward.

Hayward went into battle in person and expressed his hope to stay with the Clippers.

He is a good boy.

Li Zhen was actually very reluctant to part with him, but if he thought about it carefully, given his character, it would be far better for him to go to the Charlotte Bobcats to be the leader and to receive the teachings of God from Michael Jordan than to stay at home.

Therefore, Li Zhen has made a decision in his heart.

Including the departures of Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.

This was all within Li Zhen's plan, but the sudden news that so many old members were leaving a championship team still gave people a feeling of uncertainty.

Especially Clippers fans, they will inevitably enter a worried mood, and they will inevitably worry about the future.

For the defending champion, the most worrying thing is the adjustment of the lineup.

And most importantly, Larry Brown also resigned, and Isiah Thomas decided to travel around the world and read about the world's male sex.

From the players to the coaching staff, it takes more than half the journey.

It's hard to avoid thinking about it.

On the contrary, Li Zhen was very calm about this.

The departure of the players was already in his plan. Larry Brown and Isiah Thomas are actually only serving as consultants for the team this season. Thomas is more like a mascot, and Larry Brown has already taught him everything.

He had high hopes for Demilin, and he even claimed on the night of the finals that Demilin would become his most proud disciple.

When these words came out, Popovich was somewhat hurt. After all, in the eyes of the public, Popovich was his most proud disciple.

Therefore, people interpret it more as a kind of flattery.

A protection that has been questioned over the years by Jamie Lin.

Jamie Lin has never been recognized by the public. Although he has been the head coach of two consecutive championships, he has not received any honors.

In fact, Li Zhen and the players are very convinced of him and think his tactical thinking is very mature.

But... human words are ultimately to be feared.

But, to Jamie Lin, this is nothing.

The night after the finals, he made a thirty-minute phone call to Li Zhen. It could be heard from the voice on the phone that he had drunk some alcohol.

"...I can't believe it. I went from an assistant coach to an NBA championship coach and also became the head coach of the Chinese team."

Jamie Lin’s voice was trembling on the phone.

For him, this was a dream six years. He never dared to dream that all this would happen just like that. He could still think of the first meeting between himself and Bruce. He could also think of the meeting with the college head coach.

There was no chance in the game and he simply gave up and left. As a result, he and Bruce created an NCAA miracle.

"This scene is simply a legendary story."

Jamie Lin said in disbelief: "Our lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. Bruce, I even thought I would leave basketball forever."

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Perhaps in another time and space, you would have been selling meat buns? I remember that your ancestral home is from Shaanxi."

Jamie Lin laughed loudly on the other end of the phone.

After a while, he began to discuss the national team affairs with Li Zhen, and he would fly to China immediately. As the men's basketball head coach jointly recommended by Li Zhen and Yao Wei, he would shoulder the mission of leading the national team to win the championship.

This is a difficult challenge for him.

Stephon Marbury will go with him. Although Marbury has not been promoted to a formal assistant coach position, he will appear in the training camp as a team consultant.

Marbury is forming a new partnership with Jamie Lin.

And in the near future, Jason Kidd and...Phil Jackson will also join them.

Yes.

The old Zen Master has signed a contract with the Clippers as the team's general counsel. After many ups and downs, the old Zen Master finally returned to Los Angeles, where he was always busy.

However, although his name is very famous, his treatment is not as good as in New York.

After all, the Los Angeles Clippers strictly control their budget.

Women are in charge.

The return of Jackson has not been announced yet, and the Clippers have no plans to announce it so soon. Because the offseason operations have not officially begun, although Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Nowitzki have been confirmed to be in the new team.

Joining during the season, but the draft hasn't started yet.

Li Zhen took a look at this year's draft list. Apart from Anthony Davis, Li Zhen actually wanted to choose a reliable point guard. If not, a combo guard would be fine.

Because according to the current lineup, there is actually not a big problem inside, even if O'Neal, Griffin and Jordan all leave. But Kevin Garnett, Nowitzki and Anthony Davis may be supplemented by tactical adaptability.

It's not as good as it is, but the overall strength has not declined. It has even...increased slightly.

In addition, Li Zhen has also decided to focus on training Jimmy Butler in the new season. The departure of Gordon Hayward will inevitably cultivate new forwards and ball-handlers.

Jimmy Butler has this quality, he is very tough.

So much so that the American team dragged him to Las Vegas to serve as a sparring partner.

Jimmy Butler has no complaints about this. He is a child who has endured hardship and cherishes every opportunity. Therefore, Li Zhen also believes that even though he is an older rookie and his talent is not that good, he always feels that this guy's
