NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 181 The President's Anger

"This is the lowest score I have ever scored in my life. I would like to apologize to my coaches and teammates. This was a willful game and I lacked the necessary respect for my opponents. I failed to set an example today. I I hope the children don’t learn from me, at least they don’t learn to waste shots.”

Li Zheng did not attack Arenas aggressively at the press conference. From now on, no one will use Arenas' words to attack Li Zheng. It is too hard for Li Zheng to deny Arenas. It was Li Zheng who chose to give up shots completely on the offensive end, and his smashing of Arenas on the defensive end made countless fans excited.

"Unbelievable. Lee played an incredible game, 11 assists, 12 rebounds, 7 steals and 5 blocks. He defeated a top four team in the East with only defense, but I agree with Lee. This game is not good for him. It’s not glorious to say that he is a player born to win, and such a battle of spirits is unnecessary for a natural king.” McMillan praised Lee’s dominant performance on the defensive end, and his near-suicidal retirement before the game The declaration and the way of completely giving up shots during the game still made the old coach linger. As Li Zheng said, this way of playing is too willful.

"Arenas is a very good player." Li Zheng's praise and recognition of Arenas disappointed the reporter. The reporter asked Li Zheng, "Li, you did something incredible today. What do you think of you?" player of?"

"Me?" Li Zheng looked at the flickering camera and the reporters with burning eyes, "I am the best player."

"My fault, Mr. David, my fault. I have deeply realized my sloppy and childishness, and I will make a deep reflection." Li Zheng perfunctorily said with the phone under his shoulder. On the other side of the phone was David Grace approached the growling sound.

"Totally irresponsible! Unprofessional! Just crazy! Do you know you represent a lot of people? Do you know how much the league has put into you! Lee! Stop being a kid!"

Li Zheng took the phone away. He understood David Stern's anger. This old man had just experienced the most terrifying shock in his life. It was more terrifying than losing Jordan. Li Zheng and James are the biggest assets in the league at present, and they are also the most important. asset.

Li Zheng's bold words to limit Arenas to 20 points are regarded by many people as his retirement declaration, and David Stern is no exception. The league held an emergency work meeting. After analysis, it was found that Li Zheng failed. The possibility is extremely high, and the league even launched emergency public relations measures to limit the media's large-scale publicity of the news of Li Zheng's retirement.

But what David Stern didn't expect was that Li Zheng not only fulfilled his promise, but even performed supernormally, blocking Arenas with zero seals. Even David Stern doubted whether this was a pre-arranged script, but No one can make a mixed person like Arenas sacrifice everything to help others. No amount of money, status, or contract can do it. This is the script arranged by God.

David Stern was ecstatic. When he was happy, he worked until three o'clock in the morning. The follow-up work continued to be hot, the aftermath of the two teams, and the in-depth development of follow-up selling points. David Stern arranged with satisfaction It was a lot of work, but after the ecstasy, the terrible feeling of losing it all finally reminded him of the work he should have done most.

Scold Li Zheng for a meal.

At 03:30 in the morning, Li Zheng picked up the phone that Ern Tailun handed him. The angry David Stern made Li Zhengdu choose to avoid the edge for a while. David Stern babbled for an entire hour, and Li Zheng called After yawning, David Stern ended the topic with a lot of meaning.

"I know you are working very hard in this chaotic alliance now, hehe, I know what you have gone through and what kind of efforts you have put in. I am also glad that you didn't ask me for whistle and preferential treatment, and you didn't let your people fight with me. Get in touch and strive for better teammates, you are a treasure bestowed by God to the league, and it is also the confidence that allows me to continue to maintain my ambition." David Stern's voice was full of magnetism and affection, and Li Zheng felt a little emotional when he heard it.

"I know you're going to hate me for not giving you special treatment, for not bringing you back to Seattle, for not being able to stand up for you a lot of the time, I know that but I'm going to tell you, I never wanted you to be Michael Jordan or Magician I don’t want you to be the successor of Kobe or James. Your only helper and your only opponent is yourself. You need to leave your own traces in the history of the league, and I am your leader, so Stop making those childish choices, I know I shouldn't judge a young man, but you are special, aren't you?"

"Thank you, David." Li Zheng said sincerely, and Ern Tailun was also very emotional. The president who has dominated the league for more than [-] years is impeccable when playing the emotional card. Everyone knows that David Stern What do you want, but for Li Zheng, this is a win-win choice that cannot be refused.

"Go to sleep. Li, don't resist the alliance's arrangements for you. Those inspections and rules are the best endorsement for your future achievements. Believe me, I will not let the miracle fall in my hands." David Stern said slowly Said slowly.

Ern Tailun nodded slightly. Although Li Zheng is currently troubled by frequent inspections by the league, Li Zheng has also avoided a lot of doubts and troubles. Many people do not want to believe that a yellow man has such a terrible athletic talent. They have taken Li Zheng for a long time. The suspicion of illegal drugs has always existed, and the league's large number of random inspections and announcement of the results have made their suspicions untenable.

At present, Li Zheng has received more than 60 drug tests, and almost all the games he performed well have been randomly inspected by the league. Li Zheng's performance in his rookie season not only has the bonus of luxurious data, but also has the endorsement of the league's reputation, which also makes Li Zheng rookie The possibility of winning the MVP this season has greatly increased. If the Blazers' record can be maintained in the top three in the Western Conference, then Li Zheng's MVP is almost certain.

No matter how good Yao Ming is, he can't compete with Li Zheng. The Rockets' No. 20 in the Western Conference is certainly strong, but the luxurious record is not unrelated to the two high-quality teammates traded by McGrady. The Blazers only supplemented Li Zheng and a few rookies and a basic salary. , Li Zheng led the [-]-win team last year to the second place in the Western Conference. Such a super span, coupled with Li Zheng's explosive performance on the field, naturally won Yao Ming a lot in the MVP vote.

The playoffs are approaching. Some teams in the West have given up struggling, while others on the verge of the playoffs are doing their best for the playoffs. For them, the eighth in the West is stronger than the ninth in the West. Much more, even selling two more tickets for the playoffs is better than getting nothing for the ninth place in the Western Conference.

After starting the entire zone, Li Zheng missed the training session again. The Blazers players are a little accustomed to the "cooling off period" after Li Zheng's superb performance. Coupled with the approach of the playoffs, they also naturally entered Intense preparation mode.
