Chapter 118 Adult Ceremony
Li Zheng directly said at a press conference that he would not support the team's trade to Zach Randolph, and emphasized that Randolph was an important member of their team. Randolph's diagnosis was due to a finger injury. However, this answer not only did not calm public opinion, but instead made Li Zheng bear the reputation of Manager Li. People who hate Li Zheng regard this interview as direct evidence that Li Zheng manipulated management to control his teammates.
Randolph returned to the game under the persuasion of Li Zheng and Roy. It was just a worrying thing that Randolph was in a very bad mood, and the Trail Blazers seemed to be back to that less united state again.
Two days later, Bill Simmons officially apologized on ESPN's show, but he still insisted that his news was absolutely true. Pritchad later found Li Zheng and said that it was the Grizzlies management who deliberately leaked the specific details of Randolph's trading plan, and they were put on by Jerry West.
In the end, the Trail Blazers doctor announced that Zach Randolph would be on the quit due to a thumb injury for four weeks. Randolph also refused all media interviews. The whole thing finally came to an end, but the atmosphere and chemistry of the Trail Blazers team were still greatly affected. After all, Li promised at the beginning of the season that Zach Randolph would stay with the team, but now the management's rebellion has caused some shakes in his heart.
Everyone doesn't want to compare it as a commodity for no reason, especially when the team is smooth and maintaining a winning streak, this backstab from the management is very hurting morale, and Li Zheng was also a little angry. He promised at the beginning of the season that he would let Randolph play well. Now Randolph has done it, and the management has begun to be indifferent again.
Li Zheng rushed into the manager's office angrily. Pritchad's face was not good either, but Li Zheng still fired without hesitation and said, "Kevin, I won't say it again."
Li Zheng pulled off the cigarette that was in Pulichad's mouth and said, "Don't touch my people." Then he pressed the burning cigarette hard on the table.
Pritchad was so angry that he didn't dare to show it in front of Li Zheng. Li Zheng had engraved his name in the bones of this team. He regretted rashly starting the deal negotiations with Randolph. These old guys had ten thousand bad ideas in their minds. So, Jerry West performed how to destroy the chemical reaction of a top three teams in the West without a team.
"Is that!" Prichad kicked over the table. He just wanted to take advantage of the fat man's better fight to attack him at a high position. What's wrong with this? Don't touch my people? Who do he think he is? Godfather?
Pritcha looked at Li Zheng's back as he gradually moved away fiercely. Michael Jordan had proved that playing well does not mean his vision. Li Zheng would regret his choice today. Randolph was a hopeless guy, and he would regret it.
After a series of storms, the Trail Blazers lost two games in three games, and after losing to the Washington Wizards, they narrowly defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, and then lost to the Phoenix Suns at home.
Aldridge was unable to support the bombardment of inside scorers such as Sir, Marion, and Jamison. Although Li Zheng scored 45 points and 43 points in two losses, others could not stand up and share the pressure for Li Zheng. In the end, the Trail Blazers lost their opponents in a row and will go to the Denver Plateau to challenge the Nuggets, which is a nightmare away back-to-back.
People have firmly believed that Li Zheng was facing the first crisis of his rookie season and lost for the first time in his life. However, people prefer to tease Li Zheng's unique rookie wall. Other rookie walls are because their own poor condition caused the team to lose and hit the rookie wall. Only Li Zheng, the pervert, was because his teammates were in poor condition and then hit the wall.
When Xiao Si hugged and greeted Li Zheng after the game, he said to Li Zheng without any concealment that the words he asked him to trade himself to Portland caused considerable controversy, and Li Zheng waved his hand disgusted and refused without hesitation, which caused countless discussions.
Cleveland Integrity Business Daily reporter Brian Venhorst criticized Li Zheng as a hypocritical player who loves to manipulate the team and pursues privileges. He fictionalized his character of respecting teammates and paying attention to brotherhood, but in fact the Trail Blazers will soon trade Randolph for various powerful teammates, such as Sir, Gasol, and even Yao Ming. Li Zheng is a hypocritical businessman, and LeBron James is a better player.
Washington Post reporter Ben Wilson also said that it is not a black spot to want to play brothers basketball with Sir, but it is very inappropriate to deliberately show off his character in front of the media.
Many fans also said that if Li Zheng doesn't like Zach Randolph, he can let the management kick him out of the team, and he doesn't need to go around with other excellent players, especially those who are deeply involved in trading storms, and deliberately force his teammates to leave the team.
Li Zheng finally felt the pressure from the media. Li Zheng, who has been doing well for many years, has almost forgotten the ugly behavior of the media's aggression. When the team lost two games in three games, these evil wolves finally revealed their true colors. Li Zheng finally remembered that what he wanted was to tame these evil wolves and break off their teeth, rather than letting them bite their flesh and blood.
Li Zheng found Ern Tyron, who made him a OK gesture.
The first person to lose his job was Ben Simmons. Li Zheng used the power of a small shareholder to grant this writer who loved to accumulate various data. Bill Simmons was surprised to find that ESPN not only canceled his column but also filed a lawsuit against him on the grounds of breach of contract. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have kicked the iron plate.
Bryan Venhorst, a reporter from the Cleveland Integrity Business Daily, was exposed for accepting bribes from brokerage companies to write malicious news. The news that the IRS investigated appeared in a small and inconspicuous section in the United States today. Ben Wilson also changed his attitude and said that he publicly apologized for his abrupt, irrational and subjective speech a few days ago.
Of course, fans don't care that these familiar or unfamiliar names are missing in the news. They prefer to see Li Zheng's figure dunking his opponent, and Li Zheng scored wild data of 40 or 50 points again, but for many basketball practitioners, they finally understand that some money cannot be obtained.
Li Zheng finally understood how difficult it is to be a good person in this alliance. Ern Tyron looked at the young man with satisfaction, sighing that he had finally understood the true rules of this world.
Pepsi Center in Denver.
Denver fans met a Li Zheng who had never appeared before. Before the opening, they felt the murderous aura in Li Zheng's eyes. When they appeared, Li Zheng clapped his teammates expressionlessly, as if he was saying goodbye to the old boy in the past. The 22-year-old Li Zheng seemed to have finally completed his coming-of-age ceremony.
