NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 192: Ping Yi Jiren (Daily Chapter)
Most NBA star players choose to overspend after receiving big contracts.

Not only the players themselves need a luxurious life, but many of them also have to support their "partners".

We are all brothers, so if we make money, we will naturally enjoy it together.

When you go to a nightclub to play, the good brothers around you can also help support the scene and put on the airs of a star player!

There are also some players who can still make money while playing, but fail to invest in maintaining a high quality of life after retirement, and end up going bankrupt.
Perhaps in the eyes of fans, all NBA players are "superheroes" who fly into the sky and escape from the earth, but in the eyes of some people, these players who have made a lot of money are just wealthy heroes.

Ewing's statement "Players earn a lot, but spend more" is not an exaggeration. It is the fact that it does cost a lot to maintain the pomp and circumstance of upper-class people.

However, there are exceptions to everything. Li You is an alternative among players. Hook helps him with marketing. The league is not stingy, and star whistler treatment is also arranged.

Li You did not enjoy such treatment in his rookie season, but after winning the championship, Li You "maintained his original intention" and almost became the second Grant Hill.

After passing the LSAT exam, David Stern also congratulated Li You. After being admitted to Connecticut School of Law, Li You completely got rid of the label of "rich kid".

On the evening of the 20th, Central Park West, Jean Georges French restaurant.

This French restaurant, which has been hailed as the best French restaurant in New York since its opening in 97, currently has only four people.

After the chef said hello, apart from the music, there was only the sound of conversation in a brisk tone.

"I didn't like French food in the past, but this restaurant changed my impression. We are all young people and we should try different new things when we have the opportunity."

Young Bobby Akers was wearing a black formal suit. After saying these words, he raised his eyebrows at Li You opposite him, looking calm and confident.

With short brown hair, a carefully groomed face, particularly bright eyes, and signs of exercise on his body, the founder of Akers Capital left a good impression on Li You.

Unlike those junk people on Wall Street who recommend bad stocks, Bobby Ackles does it first and then talks about it, which is indeed much more reliable than talking about "PPT".

He is also wearing a black formal suit, but Li You does not wear a shirt, but only wears a dark gray T-shirt, which looks more casual.

"I don't know much about hedge funds, but I like to work with reliable people. At least we have some similarities. It's not easy to work from a small place to New York."

When Li You mentioned his background, Bobby Akers didn't care. He was not from a prestigious school and was very different from the mainstream Wall Street capital.

With no alumni connections, no upper-level care, and little access to inside information, Bobby Akers knew his disadvantages:

"It was really hard, but we succeeded, we were smarter, and some of the smug people lost out."

"Of course, I'm not referring to the big guys. Many small financial institutions are having a hard time this year. They are blinded by greed."

Technology stocks are in a mess, founders are cashing out and running away, and the market value of all Internet companies is declining. In less than half a year, some of the most popular companies will be dissolved and closed down.

Some people lose a lot of money, and naturally some people make a lot of money. Bobby Ackles and Li You are both the latter.

Bobby Ackles didn't hide his origins or brag about his so-called connections. He was just telling the truth. He was smarter, that's all.

The two parties soon started chatting. Jin specially dressed up tonight, but he was still wearing black business clothes.

She had been observing the lady opposite and suddenly said casually:
"Bobby, why did you choose Wendy to be your partner? Your two careers seem to be very different?"

"Because she helps me understand myself more clearly, my traders also need a psychiatrist. She is my soul mate!"

Bobby Ackles looked affectionate and looked at Wendy, who was wearing a red dress next to him, and the latter immediately rolled his eyes back.

Wendy, who has long black hair and a pretty face, also graduated from a prestigious school. She was impressed by the "beautiful knife" and has not officially joined Akers Capital yet.

However, Bobby Akers trusted the psychiatrist. Wendy secretly patted her boss under the table, and then responded warmly:

“Bobby felt that I could help the company and that I could demonstrate my worth at Ax Capital. It’s that simple.”

"Of course, I have a boyfriend. There is no need to question Bobby's professionalism. He is really a genius. We have the opportunity to grow together!"

Bobby Akers shrugged, then looked regretful, and joked a few words:
"Her boyfriend is much better than me. Li, you should have met Mr. Roots. He is very energetic in New York."

"There is a high probability that the guy named Chuck will choose to enter politics in the future, just like our mayor, attorney general, mayor, governor, president?"

"That's the development path of those old money anyway! Dad has already prepared everything for his son."

"I can't promise much, but I swear, in the future I will make Wendy's salary more than five times that guy's. A beautiful knife sometimes represents status. I hope her boyfriend won't mind."

After saying this, the four of them all laughed. After eating desserts, the party ended perfectly with joking and chatting.

Bobby Ackles and Wendy watched Li You and Jin get into the black Lamborghini Diablo SV and disappear into the Manhattan night with a wave of their hands. After a moment of silence, Wendy looked at her boss and said seriously:
"He is not 22 years old, nor is he a graceful young man as reported by the New York media. The most important thing is that he does not trust you, even if you have earned him tens of millions of dollars."

"Maybe I should consider getting a custom sports car instead, what do you think of the red one?"

Bobby Ackles did not respond. Instead, he teased his friend next to him, causing him to give him another blank look:
"He is a billionaire, and there is no need for unreasonable trust, right? We will cooperate in depth because we are all smart people!" "."

Circling around Central Park, Jin, who was driving, was also talking about the dinner he just had:

“Judging from the data obtained from the consulting firm, Bobby Akers is indeed an outstanding founder!”

In the passenger seat, Li You looked at Jin, who had fully adapted to life in New York, and interrupted:
"I don't believe him. He earns too much. Next year, we still have the opportunity to make a lot of money. If we cooperate, I need to investigate his past in detail."

As if thinking of something, Jin quickly gave his opinion softly:
"He likes that beautiful psychiatrist, this is a good breakthrough!"

After pondering for a while, Li You looked at Jin who was focusing on the car, and suddenly stared at the side of his face and said with a smile:
"You look so beautiful tonight! Let me think about it, Old Roz. It seems that we have only met once. We should go home first and talk about this matter in detail!"

Smiling and punching Li You, Jin found that his right hand was being held instead. Finally, he pretended not to care and said:
"Just this once! You should go find your little vase!"

On June 6, in order to celebrate their third consecutive championship, the Knicks, in addition to holding a regular championship parade, also plan to hold a grand celebration party at Madison Square Garden.

As in the previous two years, the route of the parade remained the same, but there were more people, and there was no need for a fast bus throughout the process. The whole team simply drove No. 11 to the arena.

Li You, who was wearing sunglasses and a championship T-shirt, felt that there were more people on both sides of the street. Tourists who liked to join in the fun did not miss this opportunity and followed the fans and shouted:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Just waving casually can make the fans shout happily. At the front of the team, Li You followed the crowd and kept coming to both sides to greet the fans cordially and complete the group photo.

MSG broadcast the whole game live, and Ewing and his family were also on the team. The gorilla was already smiling and kept smiling throughout the game, constantly shaking his fists at the fans, and occasionally shouting happily.

At the front, Alan Houston also walked slowly with his family, hugging his wife, with a happy expression on his face.

Larry Johnson and Li You were both alone. "Aunt" and Oakley were holding cigars in their mouths and puffing on smoke as they walked, looking particularly arrogant.

As for Artest, he was still naked at this time, holding the two trophies and not letting go.

With the blessing of the trophy, Artest was the most popular. Beautiful girls kept waving and gesturing for photos, making Artest even more excited.
Lewis and the atmosphere team members did not swell up to the sky. They just followed the large group with smiles on their faces.

The longer the championship parade lasts, the greater the pressure on New York City Hall. Fans above may suddenly start a wave of zero-dollar purchases. Therefore, the police must always pay attention to the movements of the crowd.

Li You is followed by Jimmy Fallon. After becoming famous on Saturday Night Live, Jimmy is also very popular in New York and is very popular with girls.

Just halfway through the journey, Li You was sweating from the heat. It was not good for the fans to be too enthusiastic. After the back and forth, his cheeks were sore from laughing.

Jimmy Fallon particularly enjoyed this moment and kept waving. Li You hugged his friend and joked again:
"Why haven't you seen your new girlfriend? I remember you guys have only been dating for 3 months?"

When mentioning this matter, Jimmy Fallon could only smile awkwardly and forcefully explain:
"You know, I've been too busy recently. I'm still trying to write scripts. Tina thinks I have creative talent and I've managed to get ahead. I have to seize this opportunity!"

"Why do people tell me you're addicted to video games?"

".OK! I'll be with you later!"

In the past two days, Li You invited everyone to come out and play, but this person was the only one who responded least positively. Women don't have fun with games. This did happen to Jimmy Fallon.

When the parade finally arrived at Madison Square Garden after walking for nearly two hours, and when the Knicks appeared in the center of the arena, cheers rang out again.

Six trophies were lined up in sequence. In order to celebrate the three consecutive championships, James Dolan also invited a number of New York singers. This was already a concert.

Ewing and others got excited while following the chanting rapper. At this time, Li You had to go to the box to greet some city hall officials.

The atmosphere at the scene was getting more and more exciting. When Li You, who had been struggling a lot, appeared next to General Manager Glenfield, he almost stopped laughing.
For general manager Glenn Field, this offseason is under great pressure. The atmosphere group is destined to be selected in the draft, and renewing contracts for players has become a top priority.

After winning the championship, the two had not discussed the issues of next season in detail. At this time, Greenfield stood up and simply asked:
"Li, can we still reach the finals next season?"

In the box, Li You watched Ewing and several veterans dancing to the music. He turned his head and said with a relaxed expression:

"Of course, the premise is to send away the declining players!"

"Buying out, trading, and exchanging some capable role players, we can still get 60 wins!"

"As for the championship, we need to add some reliable big men."

"But New York fans may not like to see the Knicks like this, but I support any trade!"

It seems that he did not expect Li You to be so "ruthless". Grunfield was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that the transaction was difficult to happen, and he was destined to be the one to take the blame this season.

On the surface, he nodded calmly, but Greenfield secretly complained in his heart:

"The value of the draft pick is not high, and no one will take up the big contract. Buy it out? This is another thing that offends people."
