NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 678 Important Roles. (Daily Chapter)
On Thursday, August 2009, 8, the New York Post reported on the Nets' potential buyer, Mikhail Prokhorov.

Barclays Bank is very dissatisfied with the progress of the Nets' new stadium. Although the construction cost has not been officially disclosed to the public, industry insiders have already estimated it to be US$8 million.

Seeing that the Nets were getting worse year by year, even the stars from across the ocean could not save the box office revenue, and eventually the team was put on the shelf.

The Russian billionaire's spokesman did not deny the news, and Igor Petrov even took the initiative to reveal his boss's intentions to The Moscow Times:
"Building a new basketball arena in Brooklyn would allow the Nets to be reborn, and the huge New York market could support two teams."

"."

New York fans who watched the news early in the morning complained on social media. They are noble "champion fans":
"In New York, no one will go to see a weak team. Even if their tickets are sold at a low price, no one will support the Nets."

This statement was recognized by many fans on Twitter. Last season, the ticket price for the Nets' screaming seats was not even as expensive as a hot dog at Madison Square Garden. Even though it was so cheap, no one went to watch.

The local fans in New Jersey don't support it, so the fans in New York will certainly not buy it. Watching a group of players you can't even name play? "Championship fans" said they don't have time.

Although the outside world is not optimistic about the billionaire's investment, the Nets' change of ownership is likely to be a foregone conclusion. Jay-Z still has some shares in the team. The New York Times broke the star's attitude:

"When the Nets came to Brooklyn, all we lacked was a superstar."

"New York needs a black star. I hope to recruit LeBron James. He is a good friend of mine. If the Nets will not get better, I will not recruit him."

"Here, he can be great! All the black fans will support him."

These sarcastic remarks made the onlookers laugh again. As we all know, Li You's relationship with Jay-Z has never been good, and his relationship with a number of East Coast rappers is not good either.

The reason is that Li You doesn't like RAP, and the music played in Madison Square Garden rarely "chant". Li You is not seen performing at some singers' concerts here.

TMZ gossip website believes that the reason for the deterioration of the relationship between the two parties is that Li You and Beyonce are close, and even deliberately released a close photo of them at the All-Star Weekend that year.
Although the news couldn't be more false, there are still people who believe it. As for why more fans firmly believe that it is impossible, the reason is very simple:
"Lee only likes blondes."

Last night, Katherine Winnick gave birth to Li You's ninth son at Lenox Hill Hospital. Although this unknown Canadian actress is very low-key, a large number of media reporters still dug up a lot of information.

After so many years, Li You is still so loyal. Look at Elizabeth Olsen, who is still in college and her hair color has turned golden. These are enough to prove that TMZ's gossip is nonsense.

In the afternoon, Yahoo Sports broke the news about Hall of Fame member David Robinson. The Spurs star once again forgave Duncan:
“Yes, I invited Tim. Although we didn’t win the championship, our cooperation was still successful.”

"I don't blame him for his choice, I wish I could see him live."

This is not the first time David Robinson has changed his attitude. There are more and more calls for Duncan to "go home", and the beaten San Antonio fans are also calling for the return of the thigh.

On the Lakers side, although the training camp has not officially opened, many players have returned. Kobe has even turned down all commercial activities and has been in the training hall for almost three months.

At the end of the afternoon training, the Lakers' team reporter wanted to interview Duncan, but his attention was soon attracted by Shannon Brown.

When talking about ending his vacation early, Shannon Brown showed a determined look, showing his desire for victory:
"The finals changed my career. When you come to a stage like this, you always have more desire."

"I wanted to taste the championship, so when Bruce called me, I immediately agreed. I wanted to play a different role and I hope to lift the trophy with the Lakers."

"."

Vujacic was also called up, but he was having a hot relationship with his girlfriend Maria Sharapova and had no time to pay attention to the new assistant coach.

As for the "more important role", Vujacic was not interested. He was planning to propose to his girlfriend, and it was more important to finalize the marriage while he still had some attention.

In front of reporters, Shannon Brown praised Bowen for his guidance and also made a promise to several people that he wanted to be included in the best defensive team in the new season.

Although it sounds outrageous, it is always a good thing for players to play hard. In addition, Bruce Bowen seemed to integrate into the team seamlessly after joining the coaching staff. For a while, the stadium was filled with praises.

The low-key Duncan patiently answered the relevant questions, and when talking about Big Brother inviting him to attend the Hall of Fame ceremony, he also showed a sincere smile on his face:
"Of course I will go to the scene to support David. It is difficult to describe how much he has helped me. I will always support him. In my heart, he is the best center in history."

"."

The Lakers staff were also reluctant to comment on Duncan's remarks, but they all felt that the MVP seemed to be getting closer and closer to the Spurs, and Los Angeles failed to assimilate them.

When returning to the locker room, Bruce Bowen was somewhat dissatisfied with the "summoning result". There were too many wimps on the Lakers. Farmar even said directly that he was not interested. Only Shannon Brown accepted the task.

"I'll talk to Phil Jackson about this again, at least to make everyone realize that they have to work, instead of just taking it easy like they are doing now."

"There are big problems in the locker room. No one respects Kobe."

Bowen and his old teammates started mumbling in a low voice. He really didn't expect that Kobe would not be recognized in the Lakers, and even in some aspects he was not as prestigious as Duncan.

Duncan, who had been there for two seasons, knew the inside story. Thinking of the "ghost" in the locker room, he glanced at Bowen and said meaningfully:

"That's fine. There's no need to force it. This place is different from San Antonio. There are often no secrets in the locker room."

The two exchanged whispers. When Shannon Brown returned to the locker room, Duncan took the initiative to fist-bump his younger brother. Joining the team halfway and getting the boss's approval, Shannon Brown felt that he would turn things around in the new season:
"No matter what the fans in Los Angeles say, Tim, I think this is your team!"

"No one is willing to sacrifice for Kobe, but we are all willing to help you, you are the real MVP"

Shannon Brown, who was crazy about flattery, did not hide his attitude. Between Kobe and Duncan, he chose the latter. Bowen's words also touched him. A small role can also make a comeback, and he will be tied to the big brother.

"Bro, trust me, you will succeed!"

"I've seen this league clearly a long time ago. Many players haven't realized this yet. If you want to survive here, you have to pay a price."

Bruce Bowen patted his younger brother on the shoulder again. Since sharing his experience, the relationship between the two has been further improved.

When the three of them arrived at the parking lot, Duncan invited his younger brother to dinner, but when he saw Amy, who was dressed up, deliberately coming to pick up the boss, Shannon Brown finally declined tactfully.

"It is said that Tim's gym chain has started to expand again? It's so easy for big stars to make money." When returning to Bowen's car, Shannon Brown looked at the two people who left with envy, but the latter didn't care and instead talked about Duncan's past life:
"We all don't like Los Angeles. There's too much attention here. As for business, I never care about it. Hey, we have to focus on basketball!"

Shannon Brown shrugged his shoulders. He was a little envious of the life of the big stars. Thinking of his own salary, he couldn't wait to welcome the new season.

On Saturday, August 8, New York media tracked the situation of the Spanish and French men's basketball teams. On the 22th of next month, the 7th FIBA ​​European Basketball Regional Championship will be held in Poland.

Although the "model worker" Gasol returned to Spain after the championship parade, he still did not have enough rest time and reported to the national team training camp early again.

New York fans were fed up with the offseason games, but they couldn't stop Gasol. After returning home, the Spanish big man made a bold statement that he would lead the men's basketball team to win its first European Championship title.

In contrast, it is a good thing for Boris Diaw to join the national team. Entering the training camp will allow the Frenchman to control his body shape. New York fans expect Diaw to become a "muscular man" after his return.

In order to take care of Catherine, Li You got up very early these days. Since the little ones all returned to Peninsula Manor to help Melinda take care of the elderly dogs, the young girl was left alone in the Manhattan home.

When the Olsen sisters came to the dining table in their thin nightgowns, they saw Eliot, who was already seated, and they came forward and kissed him.

The one-year-old boy is not a crybaby like his brother. Instead, he smiled when he was kissed. This is why Scarlett always likes to keep the little one by her side.

"Clay, is there a problem with Galleon Hedge Fund? I heard that many employees have resigned."

Ashley looked towards the kitchen and casually asked about the gossip. The Wall Street Journal had reported this vaguely two days ago, and the girls in the modeling agency seemed to confirm this. In the past two months, their employers have not been generous anymore.

Mary-Kate, who was wearing a black nightgown, didn't like talking about business at home. She glanced at her sister and took the initiative to change the subject:

"Those reporters are making up news. Clay, do you want to be interviewed again? How about I help you get an appointment with the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair?"

Li You came to the table with fried eggs and bacon, hugged the two of them, kissed them softly, and saw Ashley's expectant eyes, then simply responded:

"In a few days, you will see news that the Securities Commission and the Department of Justice will work together to cooperate with the new prosecutor to complete the prosecution. Perhaps this will be the largest insider trading case in recent years."

Mary Kate glared at her sister again. Li You saw the young girl's little action, pulled out the chair, let her sit down, and then leaned over and said:

"Aren't those news interesting? At least they can help everyone kill time."

After deliberately kissing Li You, Mary Kate looked at her sister again and complained a little:
"We already have enough money. We have regained control of the company, and the board of directors is no longer making things difficult for us. There is no need to continue investing."

Ashley didn't want to argue and just shrugged her shoulders. The two had some differences in their life philosophies. The elder sister wanted to get more, but the younger sister began to be satisfied. Li You did not comment on this.

When Li You helped the little guy finish his breakfast, the housekeeper took the little one over. The Olsen sisters took a bath and left with a sweet smile, as if they had forgotten their sister.

It was almost noon when Elizabeth Olsen woke up in the bedroom on the third floor. Looking at the succubus on her body, her body began to heat up again.

Last night's four-on-one confrontation was too intense, and with the help of Scarlett Johansson's camera, the young girl completely let herself go for the first time.

Elizabeth stood up and subconsciously stroked her flat belly. With messy blonde hair, she glanced at the naked succubus beside her and muttered embarrassedly:
“I’m really crazy”

When Li You came into the room with the juice, the young girl gasped and subconsciously shrank back into the quilt, but was soon embraced by the succubus, who had long been accustomed to this kind of life:

"Honey, are we going back to Peninsula Manor?"

Scarlett, showing off her beautiful figure, quickly squeezed into Li You's arms, looked up and asked, then enjoyed the delicious juice. Finally, she did not forget to greet the young girl who was pretending to be an ostrich.

"You guys stay in Manhattan and help me take care of Catherine. I may have to go to Washington for a few days."

The succubus didn't ask about the specifics. She guessed roughly that Cheney was hospitalized due to heart problems. Many media reported the relevant news. The old man was likely to return to God's arms.
Li You gently stroked the shy young girl and whispered something. Elizabeth Olsen blushed slightly, smiled sweetly, and took the initiative to squeeze into his arms and whispered:
"I'll wait for you to come back"

Scarlett, with an inexplicable smile on her face, noticed the changes in the young girl. She had a feeling of witnessing her own past, which allowed her to always come up with some special tricks.

While the other party was changing into her nightgown, the succubus squeezed into Li You's arms again and began to whisper, and soon her white hands were held.

Hearing the low laughter beside his ear, Li You, who was controlling the ball with one hand, felt for the first time that he still needed some physical talent. Facing an opponent who was entering his peak period, he had to go all out.

On Monday the 24th, the National Post announced that Steve Nash would carry the torch on a cross-country tour across Canada for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

For a time, this point guard from the 96 class who recently renewed his contract with the Suns attracted attention again.

Last month, the gossip that O'Neal stole Nash's reality show idea made the relationship between the two a little awkward. Taking this opportunity, Steve Nash took the initiative to speak out in an interview with Canadian media:
"Shaq and I are getting along very well. Our goal for the new season is still to win the championship, but now I enjoy the process of chasing the championship more."

“It’s great to see Sean hold up the O’Brien Trophy, he deserves it and I know how good he is.”

"My perspective has changed as I've progressed in my career. I'm not the type of person that if I don't win a championship, it's all for nothing. After all, it's just a basketball game."

As if he felt that saying this would hurt the fans, Steve Nash added:
"For me now, being able to play with my favorite teammates is enough. Even if there is no championship, there are still fans who support us. This is why I choose to stay."

"."

There were some rumors about the Lakers, but Nash denied them in an interview this time. When talking about the new season, he said meaningfully:

"I've been watching the free market and wanting to chase a championship, and the Suns are lacking some important roles."

"I have no prejudice against any player in the league. The Lakers made the right choice by letting Bruce Bowen join the coaching staff. I understand them. The league will change in the new season."

"I will talk to Amare when I get back, and we don't want to disappoint the fans."

"."
