Chapter 258 0259:【Are you in a vegetable state】

"Magic Reappearance, Bruce Lee Brings the Gospel of Christmas! "

"The strongest Lakers rookie since the new century, he is already the future of the Zijin Army! "

"The efficiency far exceeds that of rookie Kidd, who dares to say that Bruce is not the best rookie? "

"Scored 13 points and 10 assists in 8 minutes on the field, lore and see lore! "

"The Brave Prince of the Lakers Destroyed the Defending Champion's Dream, and Shaquille O'Neal's Wild Words Became Waste of Paper!" "

"..."

Jerry Bass was sitting in his office, with a stack of important newspapers in the superposition region in front of him.Including Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register, California Observatory... and a series of authoritative media.Without exception, all of these media outlets are singing the praises of another magical victory for their darling little foxes on the South Coast.

The Los Angeles media loved Li Zhen so much that they even took the title "Prince" from Chinese, which means that Li Zhen has obtained the status of the legal heir to the throne.

Such arguments are now commonplace in Los Angeles, and people no longer regard Andrew Bynum as Li Zhen's direct competitor.Even radical Lakers fans would laugh at the Clippers fans for using Sean Livingston to suppress Bruce Lee's remarks.

And this is why the KTLA TV station in California, which has always been known for its conservativeness, is vigorously criticizing the Clippers forward Corey Maggette at this time.

"...Bruce is a magic mirror. He shows the ugly face of an arrogant NBA player. All those who stand up and criticize Bruce at this time are based on envy and jealousy. Bruce Lee's appeal among women makes them feel ashamed....

"They didn't think Bruce was like them, who grew up dominating a side, or had a street background, came out of the ghetto. They couldn't stand a player who was very different from them to be successful in the world sense. That's discrimination, that's arrogance."

"Bruce Lee who turned out to be exposed their hypocrisy. It is impossible for them to accept that a yellow-skinned player who comes from a wealthy class, is well-educated, talented, and even handsome earns much more money and attention than them. Because they think that they are the true source of basketball, and they have the final interpretation of basketball..."

LATV is firing on all cylinders.

It's hard for you to imagine that the anchor who uttered this sentence is actually a white man.

Jerry Buss in front of the TV raised his eyebrows.

There is no need to prove the commercial value of Bruce Lee. Although he rejected many advertisements, the hot sales of sneakers made his brand value skyrocket again.Most importantly, he solved something that all basketball players, including Jordan, failed to solve: making girls consumers of sneakers.

In fact, the proportion of female audience in the Staples Arena has also continued to increase recently, and they are all school girls or young women who have just entered the society.

These girls were usually only fascinated by the young boy idol, or the guitarist of a new rock boy group.

However, Li Zhen brought them into the stadium and made them spend a very high price on sneakers.

Therefore, Bruce is really an athlete with great commercial prospects.

Moreover, his skills are also improving rapidly, and most Lakers fans, including Jerry Buss, are optimistic about his future.

However, many people now say that he cannot cross the two major barriers of 'shooting' and 'physical confrontation'. It is very likely that a rookie is the pinnacle, and his entire career is just a player hovering on the edge of an elite player.

This is also what Jerebus is worried about. He has been in charge of the Lakers for almost half a century, and he knows how fatal these two shortcomings are.He's seen too many players fail to improve because of physical talent, and he's seen too many players fail to solve shooting problems for life.

But the thing that makes Jeri Buss feel relieved is... Bruce is very hardworking, and his diligence is even more than Kobe Bryant.He's been working on shooting every day lately, but... the way he's practicing is a bit weird, he's practicing pull-up jumpers when he drives with the ball.

This kind of shooting practice that requires possession of the ball worries the coaching staff, including Jerry Buss, because the team already has a shooting guard who is best at shooting with the ball in the league. If there is another point guard, is one ball enough?

In fact, Kobe's compatibility with Bruce has become a point of contention in several recent high-level meetings.

Although Jenny Buss and the others are very sure that Phil Jackson can solve this problem, Jim Buss and Kupchak claim that this problem will never be alleviated in the short term. Bryant has never been a person who is happy to share the ball.As Bruce continues to improve, they're sure to break up.

They also mentioned: We don't want to spend five years or more rebuilding.Our Los Angeles Lakers must always maintain the competitiveness of the championship.

Jenny Buss called Kupchak's ideas dangerous and stupid.Didn't you see the immediate change Bruce brought?We are now the top four teams in the Western Conference, and this is the first season of Bruce.Are you still going to hand over Bruce? ?

When Jenny Buss asked this rhetorical question, the entire conference room fell silent.

Both the shareholders and the executives felt that what Jenny Buss said was extremely correct. How could they think of trading Bruce?

The record improvement he brought to the team is real.Moreover, he also brought attention from across the ocean: Although the Lakers have never lacked exposure, who would refuse greater influence?Although it is said that Chinese companies have not yet been able to spend enough money to advertise in Staples.But who can guarantee that they will not in the future.They have the fastest growing economy in the world, and the Olympics are less than two years away.

From Stern holding the videotape and knocking on the door of CCTV, to Yao Huang joining the NBA, and to Bruce's current glory, everyone knows that it will soon become the most promising overseas market for the NBA.

This is like the future of Bruce Lee. Although there are many voices of doubt in the upper echelons, they are really reluctant to give up on him.

This is why Jim Buss, as the helm of the giant ship of the Lakers, plans to talk to Li Zhen in person.

Li Zhen practiced 500 shots in the training hall. He tried his best to figure out the scene when his body controlled the Jordan moment, so as to make his shooting memory more tactile.

But today's training effect is not very good, because the brain is relatively disturbed by the concussion.

This made Li Zhen a little puzzled: My mind is so shocked, how can I sleep so peacefully with positive energy?Are you in a vegetable state?
