Chapter five hundred and seventy-two Kobe Bryant, the all-star game begins
There are five days of holidays in the All-Star Game, which is very valuable for a training madman like Li Lei. Li Lei can clearly feel that although he got the physical fitness of a gangster before this season, other strong opponents in the league are also improving. For example, Tim Duncan, this guy is obviously similar to Ewing's knees, but he still bit himself on the MVP list this season. Hey, it's really difficult to deal with. In addition to Duncan, Kobe, and O'Neal, guys are also completely different from those in the historical space.
The effect caused by his little butterfly completely broke everything he knew in his previous life. The Bulls will be the most difficult time defending their title this season. The Celtics, Lakers, and Timberwolves are not easy to mess with. This is hard to see in the past two seasons.
As the All-Star Game approaches, transactions begin to happen, such as the Knicks. This season's Knicks are already in the playoff sequence, but the Smiling Assassin is obviously not satisfied. He wants to continue to strengthen, and of course he is more about cleaning up the team's garbage contract.
They made a three-party deal with the Hawks and the Bucks. The Knicks gave Keith Van Horn and Michael Doleiac plus a second-round draft pick in 2005, while the Hawks gave Mohamed, the Bucks gave Joel Pritzbira and Tim Thomas, and then the Knicks got Tim Thomas and Mohamed, the Hawks got Joel Pritzbira, Michael Doleiac and the Bucks got Keith Van Horn.
In this deal, the real big heads are two rookies in 1997, Tim Thomas and Keith Van Horn. Their play styles are like a space insider. These two are really fate, because on the day of the 1997 draft, the Nets used him and Jim Jackson, Eric Montrose, and Anthony Parker to Philadelphia for Michael Cage, Lucius Harris, Don McLean, and Keith Van Horn.
It is really sad that the two of them exchanged their bosses again in less than ten years. This is NBA, this is the business alliance.
This deal was a foreshadowing of the Smiling Assassin's junk contract in the previous life, but the Knicks in this time and space are too different from their previous life. First of all, the Knicks are currently in the playoff sequence, and then Parker and Milicic are both rookie contracts. Although there are also junk contracts like Penny Hardaway in the team, the contract expires when the end of this season.
The Knicks' two signings can be said to be quite good. Tim Thomas can play three and four, and Mohammed is one of the best inside helpers in Duncan's championship in his previous life. Although Keith Van Horn is similar to Tim Thomas in functionality, he has been scrapped this season. Isaiah Thomas doesn't want to keep such a patient, although Dolan is not short of money.
Apart from the Knicks' three-party transaction, the NBA did not have any major transactions, but Li Lei always felt that the storm was about to come and the wind filled the building.
Li Lei arrived in Los Angeles and was dragged to his house by Kobe before he sat down. Then Kobe took out a stack of drawings for Li Lei to show.
"Bruce, look, these are my sneaker design concepts, but why didn't Adi adopt any of them? When I was in junior high school, all art classes were A." Kobe was very satisfied. Now he felt that Adi sneaker designers were all stupid and could not appreciate his talent as a genius.
Li Lei looked at the stack of ghost-like things in front of him, and after reading a few pictures, he couldn't stand it anymore. "Well, maybe your design is too advanced, but I think it's better for professionals to leave it to professionals to do." Li Lei said it very tactfully, but Kobe is not a Chinese, so he couldn't hear the implication.
Kobe put these design drawings aside like a baby, "Well, that's right, I'm the design genius. It must be that Adidas' designers are too good at understanding my ideas. Bruce, otherwise we will build a new brand together. I'm responsible for the design. Perhaps in the near future, this brand can really surpass Adidas and Nike."
Haha, Li Lei didn't answer this. With Kobe's creativity like ghost painting, even if Picasso was alive, he couldn't understand what Kobe was painting.
‘Let’s talk about it then. I don’t want to go anywhere in the past five days, so I just want to have a good rest.”
Li Lei has not trained much these days, because the Eye of All-knowledge scanned his physical condition and found that his body began to enter a state of fatigue again, so resting is the best choice.
Kobe nodded, "So too, our goal this season is revenge. Bruce, just wait and cry. The winner of this season must be the Lakers."
Kobe is very confident. This season's F4 was in Pat Riley's devilish tune. Under the guidance of Pat Riley, it was joined together earlier than in the previous life. Of course, there is also a relationship where the opponent does not play triangular offense. After all, that tactic cannot be used to and accepted for ordinary NBA players in a short period of time. They need an adaptation process. This is why the Lakers in the previous life are so stumbling. But now the Zen master has gone to the Bulls, and this season it is Li Lei who has taken four teammates x**d. What triangular offense does not exist at all, unless the Zen master will arrange it at a critical moment. But at that time, Li Lei usually plays the role of Michael Jordan.
Didn't stay at Kobe's house for too long, Li Lei took Kobe's new car to Staples Center. Kobe disliked Li Lei for driving, "Aren't you endorsing a car brand? Why don't you drive by yourself?"
Li Lei Ge You lay in the back seat. For Li Lei these days, he would not sit if he could lie down. He would never stand if he could sit, and would not waste any physical energy.
"If you don't drive, you're tired, and you won't be able to drive as much as you can."
Mom was selling criticism, and Kobe complained in his heart. The two came to the Staples Center. At this time, the rookie challenge was being held, and after that there were multiple individual competitions such as three-pointers and dunks.
Li Lei went to Staples Center and found a seat and sat down. Kobe went to the game with great interest.
The starter in this rookie challenge is obviously stronger than the second grade. Although Michael Cooper is currently the hottest head coach in wnba and he is also from the Lakers, this does not mean that the second grade can be stronger than the first grade. Except for the weaker position in the fifth grade, the other four positions are almost crushed.
