Chapter 293 0294:【Can star-studded Las Vegas bring windfalls?】

The joint efforts of the two head coaches finally brought Li Zhen to the position of 'the cusp'.

Originally, Michael Jordan's words made many superstars in the league unhappy, but because of Mr. Joe's status in the arena, coupled with his consistent draft vision, everyone refrained from making a sound.

As a result, old Nelson boasted so much, and he boasted to the point, some people were upset at the time.

The first one to jump out was not Li Zhen who was robbed of the All-Star starter and Arenas who was the best of the week in the Eastern Conference, but LeBron James from Cleveland. Before he went to Las Vegas, he emphasized in an interview: "Chris Paul is the best new-generation point guard in my mind. He is the son of heaven at the point guard position."

"I don't know what criteria Mr. Don Nelson is based on. My position is simple. The best point guard should at least be able to stay on the court for a long time and make a difference on the defensive end and in confrontation."

LeBron James means something.

There have been rumors for a long time that LeBron James expressed strong dissatisfaction with Nike's high capital investment in Li Zhen's brand, especially after Li Chen's Christmas sneakers were sold out, he even fired his agent Goodwin.

He wasn't happy about being robbed of his supremacy in the sneaker field.

He, who once created the highest endorsement contract in Nike's history, is increasingly dissatisfied with the existing price. He hopes that he can also get an independent brand, and he also hopes that he can hold more shares than Bruce Lee.

But it is clear that Nike will not agree to his request.There are even rumors that the founder of Nike is very dissatisfied with LeBron James' irrational attitude. In an interview five days ago, it can also be seen that Phil Knight publicly admitted in an interview with the Wall Street Journal: "...I know that many players are dissatisfied with Bruce Lee's sneaker brand, but it must be emphasized that Bruce is not our spokesperson, we are a cooperative relationship."

"We must admit the importance of the original family. Bruce Lee did not take out a loan to buy a Hummer in high school, but invested all his savings in Facebook, and now it has received an amazing return. And the timing of his sports brand was also very fast. He didn't give us big brands any time to prepare, and he even came up with epoch-making products from the very beginning. I can't help but invest in his company, which is a completely different concept from our invitation of spokespersons..."

"Many players have not officially entered the business field, so some immature jokes are often made..."

These remarks are considered to be Phil Knight's satire on LeBron James, who satirizes that he bought a Hummer in high school, which is far from Li Zhen's concept of financial management.

Although this news was not widely discussed under the efforts of Nike's public relations department.

But LeBron James saw it, and it aroused his intense indignation.

Even the "hate" towards Li Zhen has also increased.

This "little king", known as the chosen son, has been the most shining superstar in the basketball world since he was born. He has been loved by thousands of people, and he has not suffered any setbacks.

But with Li Zhen's arrival, he found that his mentality had collapsed a bit.

Although this kid's strength is very different from his own, but he received the great blessing of the basketball god as soon as he debuted, and he actually said that he is the next ruler of the orthodox successor. Does this make LeBron, who is nicknamed the king and wears the number 23, feel uneasy?

Immediately afterwards, he became prosperous in Los Angeles again, with various female star scandals, the album also sold super platinum sales, and he made a lot of money in the first season.

In fact, LeBron can still accept this point. After all, he relies on his appearance and musical talent to make a living. He doesn't force what he doesn't have.

However, as a young athlete who has been in the limelight for many years, he still can't help but look sideways when he sees a young man who is as beautiful as himself.

Immediately afterwards, the most heart-wrenching thing happened to LeBron.Nike even took a stake in the Li Zhen brand, and the shares they got were less than that of the Jordan brand, and helped the brand sell well in the North American market... Not only is it compelling, but even the revenue from sneakers has surpassed the original No.1 James.

How can the little king's proud self-esteem bear it.

In a sense, he even regarded Li Zhen as a thief who broke into his back garden and picked the most perfect apple in the garden.

So, when the old Nelson's remarks came out.

He immediately used the excuse of supporting the little brother Chris Paul of the banana boat, stood up and stomped on Li Zhen covertly.

Following him is naturally Arenas.

Arenas was originally dissatisfied with the old Nelson. When he heard the old Nelson confidently declared that Li Zhen was the better player, he jumped up angrily, wishing to eat the old Nelson alive.

"He is just a self-righteous old man. He no longer understands the true meaning of modern basketball. I will not be angry at his remarks. His words have no credibility. Soon, he will become everyone's laughing stock because of his remarks."

Arenas said bluntly: "If this is a fair test, I will be an undoubted All-Star starter, and I will be the well-deserved Eastern Conference Player of the Week!"

Gilbert spoke impassionedly at his new shoe launch.

Faintly, he did not forget to step on Li Zhen's brand: "People who buy my sneakers are real fans, not those boys and girls who will never go to the stadium in their lifetime. Some people design their sneakers like trendy items. And my sneakers will always be the representative of the practical school."

In addition to these two, like Kupchak and Jerry West also confront each other with Isaiah Thomas.

One said that the Lakers must win the championship before the Knicks, and the other said that Isaiah Thomas is a villain, and sometimes you cry.

Interestingly, the smiling assassin didn't even talk back.

Because he is going back to New York for a trial, his lawsuit will be settled during the All-Star weekend.In fact, James Dolan is already willing to spend a fortune to get this done.

James Dolan has no shortage of money.

Moreover, he is truly a man of temperament. To what extent is he moderate?When all other teams were unwilling to give Alan Houston a contract of more than 7500 million US dollars, he gave the old CIC king 1 million.The year before last, he spent $5000 million to sign a five-year contract with Larry Brown, but he couldn't wait to buy out Larry Brown after only one year of playing.It's like Larry Brown worked for a year and didn't make the playoffs, so he took 5 million from him. That's it...he still thinks it's worth it!

Today, the Knicks have won six consecutive victories after the trade.The entire New York media is singing praises and praises.

What's wrong with spending some money?

James Dolan is willing to pay.

……

Whether it is the Isaiah Thomas lawsuit or the LeBron James-Arenas controversy, Li Zhen has no interest in participating.

After a half-day tour of the Stanford campus, he boarded a flight to Las Vegas with David Lee, Nate Robinson and others.

During the long flight, Nate Robinson had been reading reports from Slam Dunk Magazine.This issue of Slam Dunk magazine is seriously discussing Li Zhen's point guard talent, which makes Nate Robinson feel sympathetic.

He thought for a long time, and then he said to Li Zhen: "Actually, I have watched a lot of tactical maps recently and studied many videos of ball-handling masters. I am deeply impressed. Now it seems that I also have the potential to become a first-class point guard!"

Ok?

When Li Zhen heard this, Gu Jing Wubo couldn't help showing surprise on his face.

David Li on the side said firmly: "There is absolutely no such possibility."

David Lee is an honest man, he never lied: "Don't waste your time studying the true meaning of point guards, you should continue your current microwave oven style of indomitable progress. This is your way of survival."

Nate Robinson was very upset when he said this. He felt that David Lee was a bit contemptuous.

"I played point guard at the University of Washington, and Brandon Roy was my younger brother at that time!!" Nate Robinson put up his qualifications.

What David Lee is most afraid of is that others will give him NCAA qualifications.After all, he was an NCAA champion from the University of Florida, and he raised his chin with a proud look of 'I am the MOP of the NCAA Final Four'.

This made Little Tudou quite passive.

"Wait, I will definitely let Roy dunk on you in the rookie game. How dare you look down on the leader of the best rookie." Nate Robinson said 'viciously'.

David Lee patted his head: "Bruce is the best rookie, Brandon Roy is hopeless this year."

"Why can't they be the two best rookies? There is no such precedent. I think they all deserve this honor." Robinson still turned to his former younger brother.

Li Zhen sat aside and didn't answer.

He naturally listened to the discussion between the two.

To be honest, it doesn't matter to him who is the best rookie.He just wants to become stronger and lead the team to more victories.

As for honor, it's all secondary.

Now, what gives him a headache is the problem of physical confrontation.And, he is really envious of the breakthroughs of Monta Ellis, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Paul who fly close to the ground.

In the game against the Warriors, he scored 15 points, 12 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal.

However, he is still dissatisfied with being knocked down by Baron Davis one after another, and Monta Ellis has passed in front of him many times. He hopes that he can be stronger.

After all, the 'body' has this condition.

Unlike David Lee and Nate Robinson who are sitting next to them, their talents have been fulfilled to the extreme. It is impossible for them to improve their talents. They can only make their understanding of tactics and the use of rules more handy.

call!

Li Zhen looked out the window.

Can star-studded Las Vegas bring itself some windfalls?
