NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 155 The Old and Strong Kidd

The huge changes of the Lakers have made the situation in the West somewhat blurred. The Lakers with Bynum Gasol and Odom don’t need to be completely bad, and they have no reason to fight for the pick for the Grizzlies, but Kobe’s reimbursement is destined for the Lakers. Not far away, so the big deal that should have affected the situation of the league did not have much influence. Only Popovich took the initiative to happen in the media, angrily denouncing the Lakers for robbing Gasol with beer and bread.

With Kwame Brown and Kristan plus next year's draft picks, it's hard to say who will lose and who will gain if such a bargaining chip is exchanged for an excellent insider who is a substitute All-Star. The suitability of Kobe and Gasol has aroused many people's doubts.

"Kobe is a selfish player. If he didn't pass the ball to Shaq, would he pass the ball to Gasol? Don't be funny."

"Is it worthless for Kobe to reimburse the Lakers' first-round pick? Is Popovich confused?"

"Kobe is a second-rate star, now it's the era of Lee and LeBron!"

Popovich was even angrier that the Lakers exchanged small bills and bread for large sums of money. David Stern should not have agreed to the deal. His radical remarks made the old coach bear another $[-] bond. Tickets, but the Lakers lost two straight after losing Kobe, as if the reality is not as cruel as Popovich portrayed.

Most teams think that the Lakers may not deliberately play poorly this year, but the loss of Kobe still increases the value of the draft picks traded to the Grizzlies. Coupled with the signing rights of Marc Gasol, the Grizzlies' deal cannot be counted. Bad, if the Lakers win the No. [-] pick with a slight probability, the Grizzlies can even make a lot of money.

You must know that there is another peerless fierce man comparable to Li Zheng in the NCAA. Derrick Rose from the University of Memphis locked the No. [-] spot in only nine games. They have put the combined title of Iverson and Wade on his head.

The turmoil in the league has made the situation even more chaotic. After the All-Star break, various teams have launched active trade discussions. There will definitely be more incredible deals before this year's trade deadline. Li Zheng and James are like two catfish, each stirring up the West and the West. The situation in the East is already extremely chaotic.

After two days of recovery, Li Zheng finally appeared at the Blazers' training ground. There was also good news that Randolph officially returned. After a month of silence, he finally returned full of energy.

"You played well, Lee, but you can't even beat LeBron anytime soon." Randolph's fist hit Li Zheng's chest heavily. Li Zhenggang was about to show his middle finger, but Randolph directly punched Li Zheng He held his whole hand in his hand, "Look, Zach boss's prediction, I am stronger than LeBron James."

The Blazers players roared with laughter, and the serious McMillan was also amused by this creature. Randolph's return made the Blazers locker room full of vitality again, but McMillan knew that the management's cold blood was doomed to pay a price, and it was difficult for them to stay. Let's get this big man who has gradually improved his personality.

In the evening game, Li Zheng followed the team doctor's orders and watched his teammates' games from the sidelines. Randolph felt a little cold after his comeback, and his cooperation with his teammates was also a little strange, but his strong offensive ability and the patience and dedication he put in on the defensive end Energy still brought great help to the team, 101 to 98, the Blazers defeated the New Jersey Nets and extended the winning streak to 6 games.

Li Zheng entertained Kidd in a friendly manner. This honest-looking elder brother was unexpectedly wild in the nightclub. Yes, Li Zheng was very interested in the news that he was leaving the Nets.

Li Zheng marveled at the extensive network of these old guys, which is incomparable to rookies. This league is not a simulated data in the game. Old players have much more privileges and abilities than rookies, and privileged players are even more He has great powers, just like Kidd, he can know the inside story of the transaction in advance, while other players can only watch the management sweep him out, completely disregarding feelings or respect.

The NBA is a business.

Kidd's tone was showing off and distressed. He stuck out his tongue and told Li Zheng that the place he most wanted to come to was the Trail Blazers. He said that Li Zheng would definitely win the championship within three years at the latest. The match between Li Zheng and James The game made many veterans have a lot of thoughts in their hearts. Compared with the shameless Big Three grouped by the Celtics, they still prefer to join a team that can play their abilities.

Just like the Trail Blazers and Cavaliers, the young team leaders represent their lack of control over the locker room. Kidd's qualifications and experience can suppress everyone. No one in this league can shout in front of Kidd. Everyone should give him respect. When he unconditionally supports Li Zhengshi, it is impossible for Randolph to give Li Zhengroy a blow at the beginning of the season.

"You...haven't thought of Zach as a treasure for a long time, and now you're doing this again. Your general manager is a stupid pig. They still consider Zach Randolph just for me? Don't be hurt by loyalty, this is business If you don't have good teammates, it's not easy for you to win the championship." Kidd's tone became weaker and weaker, and Li Zheng supported him on the backrest and let out a long sigh of relief.

This league has gone crazy. Every playoff team is constantly waving checks and offering unbelievable contracts for some powerful players. Zheng and James have increased the contracts of perimeter defenders such as Lagabell and Stephen Jackson. Lagabell, who has a basic salary, was signed by the Jazz with a two-year 1500 million contract, and Steve Jackson was used by the Bobcats with a 3-year 2400 million super contract. The contract is signed.

Kevin Pritchard resolutely rejected Randolph's trade application this time. After being put together by Jerry West, he will no longer make small moves to show his presence. Paul Allen is really willing to listen to Lee. Positive suggestion, Pritchard knew that if he continued to make trouble, he would really lose this decent and high-paying job.

Kidd for Randolph.

If it was the beginning of the season, Pritchard would have announced excitedly that he had found the best helper for Li Zheng, but after being warned by Li Zheng, Pritchard could only hold back his bleeding heart and vetoed the proposal. transactions.

This is where Kidd was angry. The Blazers management clearly had the idea of ​​trading Randolph, but when there was a bargain that was really suitable or even blood-earned, they persuaded them again, making Kidd worse than Pau Gasol. He is hurt.

Li Zheng looked at Kidd in admiration. At such an age, he can still hit ten. The horrible data of 0 assists and 2 turnovers made Li Zhengsheng feel a little guilty.

The famous scene of Kidd clutching his waist and refusing to accept the interview finally made Li Zheng laugh out loud. The next morning Li Zheng received a call from Kidd condemning him. Although Li Zheng tried his best to comfort him, it seemed to have little effect. Kidd Expressed strong condemnation of Li Zheng's corruption, and said that there will be up to five next time.

James also chose a truce in these two games, but the media reported that a large number of James attended the press conference with a cold face. Li Zheng's grinning appearance formed a sharp contrast. Such an obvious pull was obviously made by Rich Paul, and Li Zheng did not. Angry, Rich Paul will find out sooner or later that the big bosses behind the media he bribed are the targets of his revenge.
