NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 300 Not five! .(daily chapter)

On the night of June 2003, 6, ESPN recorded the Knicks pouring champagne in the visiting team's locker room. The away atmosphere did not affect the excitement of the new players.

In the 02-03 season, another veteran said goodbye to the NBA. In early May, after the Jazz fell in the first round, John Stockton officially announced his retirement from the team.

The era of Utah's two evils is over, and the Jazz have officially entered a rebuilding period.

On the night of the 11th, the sports media in San Antonio also witnessed the departure of the "Admiral".

He dedicated his entire career to the Spurs. Although David Robinson did not win a championship, he was still respected with the blessing of MVP.

Utah's championship dream was finally ended by the Knicks, and the same was true for the Generals. They lost in 99 and continued to lose in 2003, and also broke the record for the largest point difference in the Finals.

David Robinson, who attended the press conference, was asked in the affirmative when asked if he was really retiring:

"My career is over. I'm happy to be playing in San Antonio. Championships are not the only ones. I have no regrets."

Everyone respects David Robinson, and the reporters in the audience did not ask about the loss process. After Bowen resorted to the "seven-injured foot", everything was over.

There is nothing to discuss if the Spurs lose. You can't expect Tony Parker, the last pick in the first round, and Ginobili, the second-round pick, to win suddenly. If they lose, they will just be "unbeatable."

Many sports media believe that this year is the finals with the widest disparity in strength!

The staffing of the Knicks is disappointing. This team is still too young.

When Li You entered his peak period at the age of 25, the team completed its reconstruction and was in the Eastern Conference. This made many football commentators hold the same view:

"Lee will continue to appear on the finals stage in the next few years!"

The too easy championship did not bring more sense of accomplishment to Li You. In contrast, it was his teammates who needed this championship more than him.

Although the statistics in the finals were good, when Li You appeared at the press conference soaked in water, the sports media in the audience asked more questions about the future of the team.

Since the Knicks' salary this season is only $5767 million, and the healthy salary does not trigger the luxury tax, ABC's reporter asked a question that everyone is more concerned about:

"Lee, after winning the championship, will the Knicks bring in another All-Star player?"

"It was a great idea, but our general manager told me more than once that no one wanted to trade with us."

"With the current talent on the team, we can continue to win, and our rookies will continue to grow. I think the team is still in a rebuilding period."

Seeing Li You's serious look, many sports reporters were suddenly speechless:

"The team during the rebuilding period won the championship?!"

TNT reporters are more concerned about the Knicks’ contract renewal:

"Lee, does the team intend to complete the contract extension with Stephen Jackson? He performed very well in this year's playoffs."

"Of course, the team will definitely offer a big contract to the championship members, but this is a two-way option. I am happy for Stephen and I know how hard he has worked for this."

Li You is not worried about the team's lineup. The dividends from the child labor contract can still be enjoyed for a few years. Health is the issue that needs to be paid attention to in the future.

Going through more games than other teams every year is also a drain on the players.

"Would you like some glasses of champagne?"

Seeing Li You smiling and placing a bottle of champagne on the table, several San Antonio sports media suddenly lost their expressions.

The topic of the finals was also discussed on the TNT program on Thursday, June 6th.

This year's draft will be broadcast by ESPN, which has already begun to warm up the rookies of the 03 class. Although TNT's program will also discuss the rookies, it will focus more on the finals.

Another veteran has no championship in his career. Charles Barkley seemed a little bit sad. It was rare that he did not mock the loser on the show:

"This is the NBA. The championship requires not only a strong team, but also some luck!"

"If Tim Duncan had not been injured, maybe we are talking about Game 5 of the Finals. Unfortunately, this is the easiest championship for the Knicks to win."

"I don't even want to discuss Lee's performance, they haven't faced any real competition this year."

TNT's program will also discuss Utah's career. Kenny Smith has nothing but admiration for these veterans:

"David Robinson did deserve a championship, but it's a pity that he met Lee."

"This season Li won the championship, FMVP, MVP, scoring champion, steals champion, and assists champion!"

"He even has a chance to win AMVP in the All-Star Game, but this award is not important to Lee. I like to see McNuckle win that special trophy."

"This is completely his season. No one among the current players can come close to Lee. What I want to discuss at this time is the Knicks' tactical play. They are so different."

Ernie Johnson was afraid that Barkley would take over and talk about "real men one on one", so he hurriedly said:

"Actually, we have seen this basketball concept before, but the Knicks have completely amplified it."

"In order to defend Michael Jordan, teams in the league sometimes used guards to confront him. The Spurs tried to use Bowen to defend Lee, but they failed."

"The Knicks swept their opponents in the finals, mainly because no one on the Spurs could match up with Lee on the outside, and the zone defense could not limit three-pointers."

As if thinking of the not so good memories of the past finals, Charles Barkley reluctantly agreed with this view, and then quickly said:

"Ernie is right, not only in the finals, but starting from the playoffs, Lee has gained a matchup advantage."

"Coach D'Antoni has really injected his tactical philosophy into the Knicks, and I think he is a better fit for this team than the original coach Van Gundy."

“16场季后赛中，李场均拿到33.3分4.3篮板10.8助攻2.3抢断1.8失误，这份数据对于李来说很轻松，今年他效率更高了。”

After saying these words, the on-site director also showed Li You's efficiency value (PER) in 16 playoff games this season:

40.3.

Although football commentators have long expected that Li You will definitely break Olajuwon's highest single-season PER in history set in the 87-88 season, but after seeing the value this year, many people still shouted that it was outrageous!

The data sample of Olajuwon's 4 playoff games was not large, and he achieved an exaggerated efficiency value of 39.0. However, Li You played a full 16 games, and there is no comparison between the two.

It was rare to see his partner showing admiration. Kenny Smith joked:

"Chuck, now we can discuss Lee's historical status. In my heart, he is the GOAT just like Michael Jordan!"

Charles Barkley did not object, but sighed a little lonely:

"Times have changed. Lee will continue to win championships. No one in the Eastern Conference will be their opponent. He will always reach the finals and continue to lift O'Brien."

"Yes, Lee is destined to be the best of all time, I can't even think of anyone who can stop him!"

"Lakers? Forget it, they will lose to the Spurs. I'm not interested in talking about the conflict between Shaq and Kobe now."

"I only know one thing, Kobe's defensive performance against Bowen was not as good as in the regular season, and Lee beat everyone on the Spurs."

"I'm not interested in hearing Shaq and Kobe bragging anymore, they can't do anything!"

On the morning of the 12th, the Knicks flew back to Manhattan with the trophy, and soon the fans were excited again.

We didn’t have a great time at the nightclub in San Antonio last night, and the carnival started when we returned to Manhattan.

That night, Li You took everyone to the nightclub in Chelsea Park to spend money. This new nightclub, which was officially opened at the beginning of the year, was of high quality, and celebrities in New York would also go there to support it.

The main reason for choosing this place is because it is very close to home, and it only takes more than 10 minutes by car.

This nightclub has good security measures and pays attention to privacy. Its more fashionable decoration style and top-notch audio equipment are more popular among young people.

The DJs invited are usually well-known people. There is no need to take drugs when you come here. Just the alcohol and the girls in the atmosphere group can make people go crazy.

It's easy to get lost in Manhattan's nightlife. With the blessing of a lot of beauty, tonight's atmosphere team is also particularly devoted. As midnight approaches, the huge LED screen begins to appear on the huge LED screen with little cloth, twerking and swaying chicks.

Colorful lights and rhythmic music made everyone on the dance floor on the first floor begin to twist and dance unconsciously.

However, the lively scene downstairs belongs to young people. In the box on the second floor, Li You and several old teammates are smoking cigars.

Starks, who has retired, has also gained weight recently. He is still not as round as Ewing, but his neck is visible to the naked eye.

The same goes for Larry Johnson. Ever since he was bought out by the Pistons and received a large amount of money, he has entered a state of playing with girls every day, and he has also gained weight.

Maybe she was too devoted. My beard and hair have turned white. She was exploited by the chicks. She probably has more illegitimate children.

Among the old guys, only Oakley has maintained the best figure. After all, he is still serving as the atmosphere team for the Wizards this season. Except for his beard, which is a little grayer, the rest has not changed much.

"This newly opened nightclub is really good, but it doesn't have any leaves, so it's not a good time to have a good time!"

Larry Johnson sighed with a smile, and Starks laughed:

"The nightclubs we used to go to are all closed. If we want to keep opening in Manhattan and attract big stars, the old method no longer works."

Because of the Gold Club, the gorilla had been holding back for more than a year. At this time, his eyes were almost green, which made Oakley laugh:

"Come here and let Pat have fun with some girls. You almost have to go to court. You guy went there so many times without telling us!"

Although the New York media did not reveal the specific process of Kaplan's reception of Ewing, several people can guess the general situation, which is nothing more than sticking to the defense and playing hard.

Seeing the waitress swaying away, Ewing reluctantly said:

"Who knew that so many people had done it, and those little girls just bit me and wouldn't let go!"

"I almost got divorced because of this. Damn it! What Kaplan said is bullshit and he deserves to be shut down!"

When mentioning the bad things in the past two years, Ewing immediately complained twice. Li You was still puffing away. After the few people were almost talking, he said:

"Do you want to work for the team? I know there have been some changes in the management recently and some people have been poached!"

Several people shook their heads, and Ewing felt a little regretful. He would have preferred to become the team's head coach, but unfortunately he really has no chance now.

Larry Johnson has a lot of money after the buyout, and currently he doesn't like ordinary positions at all, but he doesn't want to be too harsh. This is also a fallback:

"Thanks, Bro! But you should enjoy life after retirement. James Dolan is not old Charles. Everyone has to take another look at the situation."

"But I can't be an assistant coach. I really don't want to have to fly around on a plane for several months!"

Except for Ewing, everyone has the same view. When there is no shortage of money, everyone does not like to work.

Starks spends more time taking care of his children, occasionally holds basketball training camps, and seems to be interested in working in schools to teach children how to play.

Oakley quickly revealed his plan. He will return to Chicago to play for another season, and by the way, he can also accompany champion guard Sprewell:

"If this guy is traded by Klaus, I will retire next year, but I don't want to go to work, I just want to live quietly in New York!"

Obviously Oakley plans to be a fun man and return to the place where the dream began to show off.

After hearing everyone's plans, Li You stopped talking about the matter. He finally understood that unless the "good brother" went bankrupt, none of them would choose to return to the team to work.

After a few people had a good drink, they quickly returned to the first floor. The gorilla disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the people quickly blended into the crowd.

At this time, Artest was shirtless and shouting. Jackson was also beside him, and he was surrounded by cheers and cheers.

Most of the other players who didn't like the crazy dancing were chatting and relaxing in the bar upstairs.

Li You was relieved that there was no trouble. The crazy Artest sometimes became extremely impulsive. Fortunately, Manhattan was not San Antonio, and there was no one here to stimulate him.

Li You dressed very low-key tonight, wearing a white tight T-shirt, dark jeans, a pair of white sneakers, a black baseball cap on his head, and a silver chain hanging around his neck.

Meeting old friends tonight, everyone is a chain person. Li You doesn't like thick gold chains, so he can only change the color and choose more ordinary decorations.

The deafening music and colorful lights made Li You blink helplessly. Every time he came to a place like this, Old Mike would follow him.

Old Mike and Nacho have been responsible for the security work of Akers Capital in the past year, and they have been following Bobby most of the time. It seems that they have not been to the nightclub for a long time, and they are not used to being next to Li You.

"It's so chaotic here! The club I chose in the city the year before last was great. It's safer and more private there!"

Li You turned the chain around his neck and hung it on Old Mike, and then joked with a smile:

"Young people like this scene, I think they have a lot of fun."

As soon as she was halfway through her words, Scarlett jumped on her from behind. The girl first kissed Li You hard. She didn't care after being held up by her buttocks. Instead, she laughed and said to the old Mike beside her:

"I just love it here, Clay! Let's go dance for a while. Mike is more verbose than my father!"

Hunter, who followed up, saw his sister's look and knew that the relationship between the two was closer than he thought. He wanted to say something but was glared at by his sister:

"I knew you must have been together a long time ago."

6月13号，ESPN公布了17个ESPY类别提名者，今年的颁奖典礼将在7月16号晚上21点进行。

Li You was nominated for the Best NBA Player and Best Male Athlete Awards, D'Antoni was nominated for the Best Coach, and the Knicks were nominated for the Best Team Award.

Since the time of the awards was completely changed, more and more athletes are attending the ESPYs. This year's ceremony will be held at the Hollywood Theater in Los Angeles.

The 73-win Knicks are destined to win awards. The New York media is very satisfied with this. Everyone automatically ignores the situation in the finals. The words that have been mentioned repeatedly in the newspapers in the past two days are:

"Domination!"

The Knicks also announced the time and route of the championship parade. It will start at 18 o'clock on Wednesday the 10th, from Seventh Avenue to Times Square. In addition to the team, there will also be some celebrity entertainers.

The Destiny Girl group has recently gone solo. Lead singer Beyoncé is about to release her first solo album. In an interview, she stated that she would participate in the championship parade. The "winning honey" vowed:

"I've always been a Lee fan, I've been a season ticket holder since '98, and I love winning at Madison Square Garden!"

Interestingly, the big singer announced his relationship with Jay-Z two years ago. Everyone knows that the hip-hop superstar is a fan of the Nets and has recently acquired a small share of the team.

Nets fans have seen Beyoncé in their home arena before. At that time, the big singer said that she was a big fan of the second team.

After the championship parade on Wednesday, the Knicks will go to the Lower East Side to visit some poor communities on the second day and hold another celebration.

However, due to the security issues in the Lower East Side, the City Hall did not support the parade. Although the fans complained, the matter could only be compromised.

New York fans are celebrating a championship, and as the draft approaches, Cavaliers fans are celebrating the arrival of the chosen one.

Although Cavaliers owner Gund was a little arrogant during the lottery ceremony, he assured the fans when he returned to Cleveland:

"The son of Akron will play for his hometown!"

On the 13th, the Cavaliers also officially announced a piece of news:

"Championship coach Jeff Van Gundy will become the team's head coach in the new season!"

Although rumors had spread for a long time, Cleveland fans were excited again after getting the exact news!

With the combination of the most talented rookie and a championship coach with an explosive winning rate for four consecutive championships, Cavaliers fans only feel that the championship is waving to them.

On June 6th, Jeff Van Gundy appeared in the TNT studio again.

Compared with his image when he was coaching the Knicks, the current bald young coach has gained a lot of weight. The dark circles under his eyes have completely disappeared. There is no hair on the top of his head. There are only some black hairs on the sides and back of the head.

Although he has become bald, after spending a year in the commentary box, Jeff Van Gundy feels stronger!

Today's program is going to analyze the Knicks' tactics. Whether the commentators like it or not, the best record in playoff history is here. If you want to win the championship, you have to learn a lot.

In the studio, Jeff Van Gundy talked in front of the camera, showing the style of a famous coach of his generation:

"Actually, the Knicks' tactical thinking has never changed, which is to give the ball to Lee!"

"This does not mean that everyone is watching Lee attack with the ball at the top of the key, nor does it mean that Lee drops to the low post for singles, but it allows Lee to finish the offense more easily."

"In 16 playoff games, the shooting rate was 57.2%, the three-point shooting rate was 48.6%, and the free throw shooting rate was 93.5%."

"If it was just singles, Li wouldn't be able to hand over this data."

Kenny Smith was very curious about this. He knew that in the last season of the bald coach coaching the Knicks, the team's tactics changed:

"Jeff, do you think other players have a chance to replicate this experience? I mean close to Lee's numbers."

The bald young marshal immediately shook his head. Although he didn't like Li You's complete control of the game, he recognized the tactical routine Li You designed for him:

"Li is unique! Why do you think Li can achieve a historical level of efficiency?"

Charles Barkley grinned and said with certainty without thinking:

"Excellent shooting touch! Lee should be the player with the best shooting touch in NBA history. He has shot a lot of 27-foot three-pointers this season. This is really an incredible performance!"

Ernie Johnson noticed Van Gundy shaking his head and tried to add:

"Excellent basketball IQ and historical passing vision? The Knicks' tactical execution is so good. Lee can always find a fleeting opportunity and convert it into a goal!"

Jeff Van Gundy still shook his head slightly, noticed that the three of them were looking at him, and then gave his opinion:

"Everyone has ignored Lee's most important talent, his unparalleled physical fitness."       "As he gets older, Li's shooting percentage at the end of the basket in his rookie season was only over 50%. Now, his shooting percentage at the end of the basket Up to 70%!”

"I have witnessed Li's growth and his physical changes. Scientific training has gradually developed his physical potential."

"Explosive power, coordination, core strength, recovery speed, etc. become more and more outstanding with age. Although it is incredible, Li's physical fitness far exceeds that of current star players."

"Tim Grover once told me that Lee was even more physically gifted than Michael Jordan, and I couldn't agree more."

Charles Barkley had some doubts. Li You's body type was indeed a heavy defender, but he didn't understand the changes over the years:

"Jeff, do you think it was Lee's physical gifts that allowed him to succeed?"

"The body is the foundation of everything. In the playoffs, talent is often tested. Li's success is naturally inseparable from outstanding physical talent!"

Jeff Van Gundy nodded immediately, acting like he knew everything.

Ernie Johnson thought for a while and suddenly asked:

"Is this why you chose to join the Cavaliers and coach LeBron James? Do you also see these outstanding talents in him?"

The bald young marshal nodded again, and then said seriously:

"This is indeed part of the reason. LeBron James's physical talent is very good, and he has the foundation to become a superstar."

"As long as he continues to polish his skills, I believe he has a chance to become the next Li."

"More importantly, I like the passion of Cleveland fans for sports. I want to help them realize their dreams. Compared with continuous success, I can enjoy the process of success!"

Charles Barkley couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard these words. He thought of the current personnel configuration of the Cavaliers, looked at the confident bald young coach, and complained in his heart instead of saying it out loud on the show:

"Enjoying the process of success? You probably won't have this idea after losing consecutively."

On the morning of Monday, June 6, Li You woke up at home in Manhattan.

I looked at the clock beside the bed and noticed that it was almost 10 o'clock.

The naked Scarlett is still sleeping soundly with her body wrapped around her. Recently, the little follower has been busy filming commercials. This weekend, Li You is the only one to improve her acting skills.

The female secretary in black stockings played by the girl last night was really good. After Li You changed several camera positions for filming, the two fell asleep until now.

After waking up, Scarlett was still a little confused. It wasn't until she saw the clothes under the bed that she remembered her unrestrained performance after having a few drinks last night.

Noticing that Li You seemed to be sorting out the materials, Scarlett whispered and quickly grabbed the handheld DV:

"Don't watch last night again!"

The girl raised her upper body and flipped through the DV in her hand. She saw that she was wearing that shameful set of underwear, and her whole body was flushed. She couldn't help but feel weak for a moment.

She said she wanted to delete the material, but after watching it for a while, Scarlett took the DV in her hand and said in a hoarse voice:

"This is our secret, we can't let Alyce see it!"

Li You nodded casually, hooked his fingers, and soon the girl moved him into his arms again, playing with the soft glutinous rice in his hands. He took advantage of the other person's breathing to change the topic and said:

"It seems like you haven't worked for a month. I remember, didn't your mother help you find a lot of suitable scripts?"

Since Li You has been staying in Manhattan during this period, Scarlett and her followers have been spending carefree money in New York with their credit cards and enjoying life.

Luxury goods, customized clothes and jewelry, going to famous restaurants to enjoy delicious food, attending some fashionable parties, learning equestrian skills, and going home at night to improve your acting skills and unlock more knowledge.

The rest of the time is to take care of her younger brother and occasionally visit her father. Scarlett has been acting like a mess for a month.

"I just want to take a break. I quite like this life. It would be great if you could always be in Manhattan."

Without explaining why she was so embarrassed, Scarlett just kissed Li You, sat up again, then ran to the bathroom, waved her hands and said:

"Come take a shower with me. Alyce isn't here. I'm not used to being alone."

The competition in the past two days was quite intense. Li You rubbed his messy hair, and was finally pulled into the bathroom by the girl.

When the water in the bathtub gradually submerged their bodies, Scarlett smiled and showed off her talk show skills:

"Sister Milinda is right, you really like this!"

No wonder the girl has almost become a guest in the past few days. Li You looked at Scarlett, who was immersed in speeding up the pace, and took a breath and said:

"Hunter has sent me several text messages, remember to go home and see him!"

The girl did not answer the question. She sped up the rhythm again, raised her head and smiled, then twisted her body, showing new knowledge, and said in a hoarse voice:

"It's only the weekend, Clay! Are you tired?"

Li You held the opponent's slender waist, and soon the two of them whispered, and the vague answer came from the rippling water:

"Let me change your role tonight!"

On June 6, the championship parade in the morning made New York fans very happy. After arriving in Times Square, in addition to fans, more and more people gathered to eat melon.

It is somewhat similar to the annual New Year's Eve event. On the stage that was set up, Jimmy Fallon, wearing a championship hat and a commemorative T-shirt, volunteered to be the host, and soon teased this year's playoffs:

"When we lost the game last year, I was very angry. Everyone knows that Li is a good friend of mine, but he never complained to me about the away whistles."

"A real superstar never cares about that, he just wants to get back what he lost with his own hands!"

"What makes me regretful is that this year Li appeared in the finals as promised, but last year's opponent lost early."

"Hi, Shark! Where are you!"

The happy people responded, and the fans holding the "Missing Persons" posters jumped up and down and shouted loudly together.

This meme will not go away until the end of the off-season. There will probably be new jokes about this year's finals on Saturday Night Live next season.

Li You, who was sitting on the stage, was currently wearing a new commemorative T-shirt that the Knicks had just released. The team store had already put it on the shelves. Everyone was dressed in the same uniform for this championship parade and continued to advertise.

Unlike Artest and the others who were in high spirits, Li You's face was a little pale at this time. He had shot too many small movies and consumed too much physical energy.

Every player who stepped forward to speak mainly expressed his gratitude to the fans. The Knicks' season tickets have begun to be pre-sold, and fans who buy tickets with real money to watch the game are the biggest supporters.

When Li You took the microphone, he didn't say much, but took the fans to reminisce:

"Remember the promise I made to everyone at Madison Square Garden after we beat the Bulls in '98?"

"I was still a rookie at that time, and the sports media laughed at my arrogance, but now I have fulfilled my promise!"

"Wow!"

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

There were also old fans who participated in the championship parade. They seemed to have thought of those words, and everyone shouted happily again.

Li You, who was standing on the stage, looked around and saw that there were many fans wearing Knicks No. 1 jerseys around him.

Waving his hands to signal everyone to quiet down, Li You hugged Jimmy Fallon next to him and said with a smile:

"Jimmy, you definitely know what I'm going to say next!"

"Of course, we will continue to win, and the Knicks will win more championships!"

After the two looked at each other on the stage, Li You quickly raised his voice and said briskly:

"This is the fifth championship I have won since joining the team. I hereby promise that this is just the beginning!"

"Five championships are not enough, Not five! Not six!"

After hearing the somewhat familiar "Not", the fans around him became even more excited, and soon they all shouted:

"Not seven! Not eight!."

Everyone followed Li You and counted to "10" before stopping. Then there were deafening cheers, and the place was completely boiling!

There were not only Knicks fans in the crowd, but also rookies who had come to New York in advance to prepare for the draft.

As a native of Chicago, Dwyane Wade told the media in an interview that "I am a super fan of Lee," but in his heart, he did not like the 98 Knicks team at all.

However, the fiery atmosphere and the golden trophy on the stage made Wade envious.

In the NBA, winning accounts for more than half of the game. At this time, Wade has personally experienced the bonus brought by victory.

LeBron James, who came to New York early with his agent Goodwin, saw such a scene and felt his heart burning.

He did not squeeze into the front row, but stood with his agent in the back. The whole city seemed to be celebrating the championship. This was the first time James experienced this experience in person.

Li You's "Not" left a particularly deep impression on him. Goodwin noticed the eyes of the money tree next to him and immediately whispered:

"LeBron, believe me, as long as you can lead the Cavaliers to the championship, you can also enjoy the same treatment!"

"You'll be a hero in Cleveland! Hooks will give you a lifetime contract, too!"

LeBron James, wearing a white printed T-shirt, was very green. He nodded immediately after hearing the agent's words. He believed that he would succeed.

LeBron James noticed that when Grant Hill gave a speech, the cheers at the scene were smaller. This scene made him feel emotional:

"Sure enough, a team only has one boss!"

The Knicks' championship parade has become the subject of recent discussion among sports commentators.

Although Li You gave more opportunities to speak to the coaching staff and teammates, the promise he made again was impressive.

What Li You said in his rookie season had little weight, but after winning five championships and entering into the discussion of the best in history, such a promise became particularly convincing.

After all, Li You is only 25 years old, and his career still has at least 10 years left!

Naturally, several mainstream media outlets in New York happily reported on this grand championship parade, and by the way, loaned the Knicks a championship.

As the draft approaches, the Knicks are picking only late-round picks this year, and general manager Glenn Field's workload has been reduced by half.

Li You has also completely entered a state of vacation, taking Scarlett to attend some premiere events, and making short movies in the evening to help the girl improve her acting skills.

As the draft approaches, the Knicks' popularity is quickly outweighed by the promising rookies from the 03 class.

On the evening of June 6, the 26 draft officially opened at Madison Square Garden in New York.

LeBron James, wearing a white loose suit, is naturally the focus of the sports media.

Before he even entered the league, he was already on the cover of Sports Illustrated, ESPN broadcast the high school league because of James, and later won the MVP of the McDonald's All-Star High School Game.

Although LeBron James chose to skip college and bring his talents to the NBA, ball critics believe that James can adapt to the league's confrontation. His physical talents are so outstanding!

In Cleveland, a large number of fans were waiting on the television for the moment when the chosen one would be selected.

LeBron James naturally knew that the Cavaliers would select him, but when he was sitting in the audience and heard president David Stern read his name, he stood up excitedly and hugged his mother and friends beside him.

Seeing LeBron James on stage with a bright smile and shaking hands with David Stern, many reporters pressed their shutters to record the historical moment!

The Pistons selected Darko Milicic with the second pick;

With the third pick, the Nuggets selected Carmelo Anthony;

With the fourth pick, the Raptors selected Chris Bosh;

With the fifth pick, the Heat selected Dwyane Wade.

The newbies came on stage one after another to shake hands with David Stern. Everyone was very excited after being selected, which meant that the beautiful sword was waving to them!

The Knicks continued their tradition and selected Polish big man Mazie Lampe with the 29th pick.

For so many years, the Knicks have insisted on drafting big men at the bottom of the first round. As a result, every rookie who joins the team will leave the team within two years at most.

Naturally, no one at the scene cared about who the Knicks selected. There were too many talented players in the 03 class. This is a big year for the draft!

After the NBA vice president came on stage, each team began to announce the second-round players they selected.

The Knicks finally selected Greek center Andres Greenedakis with the 58th pick, who will not enter the NBA for the time being.

With the Knicks announcing their selections, the 2003 draft has officially come to an end.

As a broadcaster, ESPN naturally has to interview No. 1 pick LeBron James.

Agent Goodwin likes to see this scene very much. In many cases, a player's popularity represents a dollar. When playing in Cleveland, James needs more attention!

During the interview, James showed a relatively mature side of himself. He was quite modest when answering questions and did not brag rashly.

Soon an ESPN reporter asked about the Knicks:

"LeBron, have you paid attention to Lee's performance this season? After joining the Cavaliers, we are both in the Eastern Conference and you will play against each other frequently."

"In your first season as a rookie, what kind of performance do you think you will deliver?"

LeBron James, who was well prepared, entered into a state of commercial exchange after hearing the question:

"I have been following Lee. He is the best player currently. He has won 5 championships, completed four consecutive championships, and won three consecutive MVP awards this year. This is incredible!"

"Being able to play against great players is something I've always looked forward to. I can't wait to accept the guidance of coach Van Gundy. I believe the Cavaliers will be successful under his leadership."

"As for the goal of my rookie season, what I hope most is to reach the playoffs. Of course, this is difficult, but this is the direction of my efforts. I hope I can change the Cavaliers!"

The New York sports media didn't pay much attention to the Chosen One, and left early after routine interviews.

The Cavaliers will not be a rival to the Knicks in the next few seasons. They still have to fight for a playoff spot.

There were not too many trades in the draft. On the second day, the Bucks traded Sam Cassell and Owen Johnson to the Timberwolves.

This deal allowed the Bucks to acquire Anthony Peeler and Joe Smith, and the former "Three Musketeers" completely disintegrated.

"What the hell!"

Kobe, who cursed lowly, felt a little uncomfortable hearing these boasts.
