Remember [New] for a second,! Regarding the limelight, in fact, Zuo Li, the last All-Star, was already in the limelight. Except for not winning the main game and MVP, Zuo Li can almost be said to have no regrets.
This also caused some people's dissatisfaction at the time. The NBA has never been a pool of stagnant water. The turbulence lurking under the water is far more than what people see. For example, during the main game, Zuo Li didn’t receive many passes. He scored all by himself, and was isolated by James in the locker room. .
Although it was not stated clearly, it was obvious that Zuo Li was not popular with them.
Zuo Li is no stranger to this kind of thing. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. When Michael Jordan was so popular, he was isolated by Thomas and a group of people in the first All-Star Game, which made Thomas become Jordan. The most hated person in life, the 92 Dream Team, even shouted the ending declaration of "there is no me", and the two have not reconciled until now.
So Zuo Li has long been mentally prepared. If he wants to rise, he will inevitably block some people's way and take away some people's things. Not everyone is a good gentleman like Grant Hill. When they feel threatened, Naturally, the group will fight against Zuo Li.
But unfortunately, their boycott was useless, because the basketball court is still a place to talk about strength in the final analysis. The saying that there is strength is the uncle is very applicable here. They could only watch Zuo Li become bigger and stronger, and finally reached a level that even they had not yet touched.
Now on ESPN's MVP rankings, Zuo Li is far ahead, and the team's record is even better. So far, it has only lost five games. The outside world evaluates Zuo Li as a super nova that has been rare for decades. This is even like James. None of the players have ever gotten it. After all, James, who is in his second season in his career, is still fighting for a place in the playoffs, and Zuo Li has already focused his attention on the finals.
This time, when they changed the poster, they could only smash their teeth and swallow in their stomachs. Apart from complaining secretly and discussing some things in private, they couldn't do anything.
After all, the league has a clear-cut stand, the fans and the media applaud, and other interests are even more real. In this case, even the sunspots can only hide and wait for the opportunity, let alone others.
Of course, Zuo Li didn't pay too much attention to events such as changing posters. Of course, these things are good for him. The growth of popularity is visible to everyone, but again, if Zuo Li fails to meet people's psychological expectations , This has become a flattery. The so-called holding up as high as you fall will be as hard as you can. For Zuo Li, this is also a pressure.
And it's excess pressure.
As we all know, in addition to the game, the first task of the All-Star is to play and enjoy the rare rest days and seasonings in the busy schedule. What are you doing with these extra pressures!
Well, of course, not everyone thinks so much. For example, David Lee, when he learned that he had entered this year's All-Star team as a substitute, the whole person was very excited. In training, it was like playing chicken blood. more positive than before.
From time to time, he and Zuo Li discuss what he will wear to appear in Dallas.
"Listen to Zuo Li! I must show my best side, there must be a lot of reporters there, there must be a lot of photos, how should I deal with the interview..." David Li asked incessantly.
"No, didn't you follow last year? It's still the VIP seat." Zuo Li replied with a dumbfounded answer, knowing that David Li was too excited.
You must know that for those super giants in the NBA, especially those stars who are aiming to win the championship, if they can ask for leave, they will never go, and even if they go, they are mostly paddling.
However, Zuo Li also fully understands David Lee's mood. After all, apart from Kobe Bryant and superstars like Duncan, many stars may only be selected once or twice in their lifetime. If you don't seize the opportunity and experience it well, there is really no chance. Not the same.
"Give it up, idiot, as long as you appear in the same frame as Zuo Li, no one will pay attention to you." Randolph poured a bowl of cold water over him.
Who knows that David Lee is not angry at all: "Oh? Is it? Zach, you should be worried about this problem, right?"
On the other hand, David Lee also tidied up his hair, don't say, it's quite like this.
Randolph immediately became depressed. Indeed, although David Lee is not as handsome as Zuo Li, he is a decent handsome guy in basketball. He, Zuo Li, and Curry who just joined the team. To be called the Knicks dudes by others.
And unfortunately, the label the Knicks give to the outside world is handsome guy and beast, except for the three handsome guys above, he, Zach Randolph the bear, Crawford the alien, Beverly, the shame of the white man Lineri, tattoo artist Anderson are all part of the Beasts…
When he walks with Zuo Li and David Lee, there is a real risk of being ignored, especially by girls...
"Fuck! I think it's better if I don't go with you!" Randolph muttered, what's wrong with this world?
That said, however, Randolph still went with Zuo Li, who asked Zuo Li to buy a plane by himself.
On February 9th, after the Knicks played the last game before the All-Star Game with the Bulls, they were disbanded at the airport. Some people who did not participate in the All-Star team followed the Knicks' chartered flight back to New York... and the other part will decide for themselves. How to get to Dallas.
After all, it is a league activity, and the general team does not bear the cost of this part.
However, due to the good record of the Knicks this season, UU reading www.uukanshu. There are a lot of people selected for com, so the management temporarily decided to reimburse the round-trip travel expenses this time.
However, Zuo Li didn't want to squeeze a flight with ordinary passengers, so he prepared the transportation in advance, a chartered plane from Boeing, costing $800,000, rented for a week, and he will take this plane to go directly to Dallas.
This fee is not cheap, it has exceeded the salary of many players for a year, and most people will never spend so much to go back and forth twice.
But Zuo Li has his reasons. Compared with spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, the cost of time is more important, and the private jet is more free and relatively safe, so why not do it, if it is not for the lack of time, maybe Zuo Li Li has already ordered his own private jet.
And when he heard the news, Randolph really abandoned his integrity and firmly embraced Zuoli's thigh.
"Boss! Please bring me!"
"Damn, what about your toughness and your courage? Didn't you say no to us before?" David Li said disgustedly.
Then, David Li hugged Zuoli's other thigh: "Big brother! Please take me!"
Zuo Li: "…"
