NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 375 The Fastest Player (Daily Chapter)
On April 2005, 4, the New York Post broke the news that Mayor Bloomberg had won the "battle" to build the West Side Stadium.

MSG has been opposed to the Jets ever since they planned to build a stadium.

Charles Sr. and his eldest son James Dolan spent more than $2000 million to lobby the Public Authority Control Board. The Dolan family will never allow the Knicks, who are currently making huge profits, to be threatened.

The Public Authority Control Board is a three-vote member body controlled by Governor Pataki, House Speaker Sheldon Silver and Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno.

Getting agencies to veto proposals is particularly tricky, with the governor's influence diminished because of Spitzer.

In order to show his power, Governor Pataki will certainly not compromise, and Bloomberg can easily control the voting rights.

The stadium is crucial to hosting the Olympic Games in 2012. The Dolan family is determined to oppose the city hall this time, which has triggered huge heated discussions.

The Jets want to be closer to New York, and if the stadium is eventually built, the project would also accelerate development in the surrounding area and help raise funds to pay for the extension of the 7 subway.

The two sides have been at war for half a year, and lobbying companies and law firms are laughing. As long as the Dolan family insists on appealing, they can still obtain large profits.

Many mayoral candidates of the Donkey Party have been at odds with each other, and candidate Anthony Weiner even publicly shouted to the media:
"MAT's offer will only take them to court and they will be sued!"

Kim, who was wearing baggy trousers and a blue gown, smiled and expressed his gratitude to the former mayor, and Giuliani also laughed. This is his investment and will pay off sooner or later.

Milinda and Jin returned to the dining table. Li You had already finished the veal. Giuliani looked up and saw the two people whose appearance had not changed, and blessed him again:

In this regard, Li You has been very annoyed recently. More and more media reporters want to see him express his position. During this period, he almost became "Yuan Fang".
On Saturday, April 4, Li You took Milinda and Jin Yi to accept the invitation of former Mayor Giuliani to dine together at an Italian restaurant on Thompson Street.

Milinda said nonchalantly, and Fang Jin's face turned even redder. In the past six months without taking safety measures, he had unlocked too much knowledge.

Jets players are also encouraging fans, playing the emotional card, and complaining to the media one after another:

At the end of March, British media took the lead in breaking the news that Red Football Capital seemed to have reached an agreement with Manchester United's major shareholders Magnier and McManus.

As Milinda spoke, she buried her head in Jin's arms, which made the latter blush slightly. When Giuliani reacted, he laughed again:
"This is something to be happy about, Miss Wexler. I know several good medical institutions. Remember to take good care of yourself."

"But I really don't like sharing the market with the Jets, and I'm with Dolan on that."

Jin nested in Li You's arms in the back seat, and Milinda in the passenger seat counted the time on her fingers:

"The other side can only keep explaining in court. I don't know how many months or how many years. I just know that a lower bid will get them into trouble."

Li You is also very happy. When he reaches the right age, increasing the population has always been his expectation:

King got a promotion and a raise at the beginning of the year, and his prosecution of gangs and criminal groups in the Bronx paid off.

"I swear I will stop the stadium plan!"

Also invited were colleagues and friends from Giuliani's former law firm. The former mayor, who is still active in politics, is in better physical condition than before, and his money-making ability finally defeated the disease.

Only halfway through his words, Li You was stepped on by the somewhat thin-skinned Jin. Soon the former mayor shared his educational experience, and the dinner went on happily.

This stadium does carry the expectations of some people, but for MSG, the other party will break their sports monopoly.

"The new stadium will bring a better viewing experience to the residents of Manhattan, and we want to do our part for our hometown."

Milinda, who was similarly dressed, pressed Jin next to Li You, sat down, shook her head and said:

There is a big gap in financial resources between the two parties, and with the support of the Ziff brothers and Ken Griffin behind Li You, the acquisition only has cumbersome process issues.

Looking at Milinda with long hair, Giuliani also raised his glass and joked:
"Ms. Ramis, do you want to consider coming to my law firm? You will directly become a partner. I think Li will definitely agree."

"Thank you very much for the invitation, but I have to take care of the baby in my belly. This is the most important thing right now."

"Lee, congratulations on completing the acquisition of Manchester United. If MSG hadn't been occupying the headlines, everyone should pay more attention to this news at this time."

At 21 o'clock, everyone said goodbye at the door of the restaurant, and reporters immediately came up to watch and take photos.

The news that the Manchester United club is about to change ownership has swept the UK. Neither Bobby nor the executive director denied it. Only Manchester United fans are still protesting.
Through borrowing, Li You, who has sufficient funds, has always been confident in the acquisition. Although the Glazer family has frequently expressed its stance to the outside world, the other party's borrowing from JPMorgan Chase has been hindered.

During public comment sessions on the vote a few days ago, some Donkey Party members began to warn board members that they would not let this matter go.

"In the future we plan to create a football team, the Lee Football Team"

"Li, it seems your big house will be full soon!"

"This is just my personal hobby. Compared with hosting the Summer Olympics, the acquisition is naturally not worth paying attention to."

This Italian restaurant is famous for its spicy macaroni and parmesan cheese, but Li You prefers its veal.

Bloomberg took the lead in the charge, while the New York Post and several media outlets went crazy and used media reports to incite public opinion. Both sides hope to get more public support to achieve their goals.

"Congratulations to you, Miss Wexler, Chief of the Violent Crimes Unit of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District. You are long overdue for a position like this."

Old Mike drove to pick up a few people. After getting in the car, Li You breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to be "Yuan Fang" anymore.

Li You lowered his head and kissed Jin in his arms, and suddenly complained helplessly:
"You have to help me think of an excuse. I don't want to offend Bloomberg. In the past few days, fans have even appeared in the arena to protest."

“We just wanted to be closer to New York, we were kids who wanted to go home!”

Everyone present was a lawyer, and there was no communication barrier when it came to gossiping. During the meal, Giuliani kept communicating with everyone. When he came to Li You, the former mayor joked with a smile:

Another mayoral candidate, City Council Speaker Gifford Miller, said simply and crudely:

"October is just the right time for a baby. Tina Fey's due date seems to be this month as well. Maybe I should prepare in advance."

In a few months, the International Olympic Committee will decide where the 2012 Summer Olympics will be held.

This gorgeous retro-style Italian restaurant is famous in New York and is often visited by many celebrities.

Li You spoke in an understatement and took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Giuliani who was sitting here, while talking about the difficulties in the acquisition.

"Thank you for your trust. If it weren't for your care, maybe I would still be an assistant prosecutor now."

Jin, too lazy to think, simply adjusted himself to a more comfortable position. Milinda rolled her eyes and suggested from a lawyer's perspective:
"If you make an excuse based on the environment in the West District, there must be some community residents who will not agree!"

When Milinda saw Li You nodding, she suddenly giggled again, and then said with a bad smile:

"Our little cutie likes to eat sour things lately!"

Old Mike, who had been driving silently, suddenly turned his head and asked in a low voice:
"How old is Scarlett? If I remember correctly, she is not old enough to drink yet."

Thinking that the enthusiastic girl was extremely devoted to this matter and had already refused safety measures, Li You could only laugh dryly:
"Maybe she just ate too much dessert!"

On Sunday, April 4th, the Knicks have seven games left in the regular season and are firmly in first place in the league, leading by three wins. They can now relax a little.

This year, the Eastern and Western Conferences are competing for a spot in the playoffs!
The Lakers currently have 34 wins and 43 losses, basically missing the playoffs.

The Timberwolves are still working hard. As long as they suppress the Lakers, they have a great chance of getting the last ticket.

But if they want to get rid of the 8th place, the Timberwolves are still some distance away from the Nuggets.

If nothing else happens, after meeting the Spurs in the first round, Garnett will most likely be eliminated in the first round.

The Nets are also in the same trouble. The eighth position means they will encounter the Knicks.

Kidd didn't want to meet Li You again. Since the end of March, he had been calling on Nets fans to support the team, and Carter followed suit.

Both wanted to struggle in the final stages to try and get out of trouble.

The Cavaliers and Bulls are also currently competing. The two teams have no hope of getting into the top three, but neither one wants to give up a seat in the top half. For a rookie team, having one more home court will give them a great chance of breaking through the first round and making the final sprint. No one will give up such an advantage!

In the fourth game, O'Neal led the Heat to win against the Knicks again at home. In the regular season match, the two sides tied 2:2.

The media has been crazy about O'Neal winning the award, and has continued to gain momentum during this period. This has made the Heat sprint for the record in the final stage. As long as there is a slight possibility, the Sharks also want to win the MVP.

The new rookie Wade has also been cheered by Big Brother recently. O'Neal admitted that the Heat are his team, and Wade naturally has to carry the sedan chair:

"Shaq is the most dominant big man in history, he's so good!"

"In the locker room, he taught me how to play for the championship. His arrival allowed me to stand on a bigger stage, and I am only grateful for that."

"We will not relax. In the last few games, everyone will still go all out. We all want to help Shaq win the MVP."

The Heat are still firmly ranked second in the Eastern Conference, and the sports media in Miami have long been excited. During this period, they have been loaning crazy:

"The most dominant duo in NBA history!"

"The real genius of the 03 class - Flash!"

O'Neal recently boasted about his partner Wade, crazily belittled Kobe, and even gave the newbie a nickname:

"The Flash!"

The New York media naturally sneered at this title, and the reason was very simple:
"Lee is the fastest player in the league!"

The two sides kept arguing, and the sports commentators also joined in the fun, and finally came to the conclusion:
"Li You as a rookie was not as fast as Wade!"

As for who is faster between the two in the current season, different football commentators have different views.

Li You's fast attack is as fierce as a tiger. In positional battles, he relies on speed to overpower his opponents rather than relying on rhythm to complete the attack.

Wade's fast break speed is also very fast. In positional battles, his shooting has some flaws, so he relies more on breakthroughs while maintaining good rhythm changes.

Just looking at the highlights, Wade is indeed similar to Li You. The attitude of changing the direction of the push ball and circling the ball behind his back to squeeze through the double team after the pick and roll is almost exactly the same.

However, in terms of body shape, Li You is stronger, while Mengxin Wade is still a bit thin.

Reminiscent of the previous scouting report, calling Wade "Little Lee Woo" is indeed very appropriate.
That night, the Knicks lost to the struggling Pacers at home.

The Pacers, who are still struggling for a playoff spot, just lost to the Knicks at home a few days ago, and are about to be caught up by the Nets. Naturally, they have to go all out in this game.

108:100, after losing the Knicks' record reached 58 wins and 18 losses.

最近伤愈复出的加索尔还在找状态，今晚14中6，罚球7中4，砍下16分8篮板4助攻1盖帽3失误的数据。

The shooting percentage did not exceed 5% in several consecutive games, and there were also problems with finishing at the basket. After the game, the New York fans did not leave the game, but shouted Gasol's name loudly to send encouragement.

In an interview after the game, Gasol did not feel depressed, but proactively promised the fans:
"I will completely regain my form before the playoffs. My left foot no longer hurts. I would like to thank my teammates for their trust."

Sports reporters in New York were in a good mood. The Knicks lost, and the Heat also lost to the Pistons at home.

Putting aside the issue of record, currently everyone wants to gossip about topics other than the game:

"Pau, you should know Lee and Wade better than the sports media like us."

"From a player's perspective, who do you think is faster?"

Gasol smiled, pretended to think seriously, and then answered affirmatively:
"Of course it's Li! In competitions, Li rarely goes all out in his movements. He prefers to be in complete control of his body!"

"Everyone on the Knicks team knows this. Whether it's a jump shot or a breakthrough, Lee gives people a relaxed feeling."

"Wade seems to lack game experience. He relies more on his explosive power. Of course, he is also very fast. Every time he defends the pick-and-roll, Laga will secretly complain to everyone."

The sports reporters gathered around nodded. Such comments are more convincing. Li You is the fastest player in the league!

On April 4, the Knicks ushered in the last game of the regular season.

In the past two weeks, after surviving a relatively intensive schedule at the end of the season, the Knicks have been stable and did not give any chance to the Heat and Spurs.

Due to Tim Duncan's absence from the focus of the "MVP Conversation" last month, he has been under criticism recently. The New York media even called the selfless leader a "coward."
The Spurs faced the Timberwolves in their last game, and Popovich once again rotated extensively.

The same goes for McHale. After the Lakers completely exited the playoff race and the Nuggets were 4 games ahead of them, he also withdrew his main team early that night.

In the end, the Spurs defeated their opponents 101:95, with a record of 60 wins and 22 losses, firmly ranking first in the Western Conference.

Duncan did not accept interviews after the game and went into the player tunnel early.

Tony Parker, who attended the press conference, had some good words for his boss:

"We all know the sacrifices Tim has made for the team. He was not in good physical condition this year and only played 66 games."

"He has been fighting injuries. Under his leadership, we won 60 games. Tim is the MVP in my heart!"

That night, the Knicks also rotated extensively and lost to the Wizards, who were struggling for playoff rankings.

At the end of the game, Arenas, who was being interviewed on the sidelines, was also asked about the MVP question.

The famous second-round pick was not polite. Arenas even had a surprised expression on his face:
"Why is there such a question? The answer is obvious!"

"Averaging 35 points per game! There should be 10 assists in every game, God! If you can't win the MVP like this, I will only question this award."

There were many Wizards fans shouting Li You's name loudly at the scene. Arenas pointed to the audience and continued:

"Look at the reaction of the fans. When Tim Duncan comes here, no one will cheer for him. This is the difference between him and Lee!"

They hugged each other after losing. Li You was in a good mood. After feeding him for so many consecutive games, Gasol's condition has improved, which will be of great help to the team.

After winning this game, the Wizards' record reached 43 wins, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference.

After Li You and Jamison fist bumped, they immediately sent blessings:

"Well done, Bro! Looking forward to our meeting in the Eastern Conference Finals!"

Jamison, who had led the team to the playoffs, was already smiling and hugged Li You hard:
"Thanks! Bro, No. 6 is not bad. To be honest, I don't want to face Shaq in the first round."

"The MVP must be you, we all support you!"

Waving to the fans at the scene, Li You walked slowly towards the players' tunnel.

With 63 wins and 19 losses, the Knicks once again won the Atlantic Division championship with this record.

Although this award was locked in early, there was no response from the talent panel until after the regular season.

Before entering the locker room, Li You had a thought in his mind and quickly got the message in his mind:
[Dwyane Wade’s extraordinary explosive power]

With a smile on his face, thinking that his speed attribute had been stagnant, Li You felt that this talent should be able to change the current situation.

Hill, who was wearing a formal suit, fist bumped with his teammates one by one at the door of the locker room. When he saw Li You, he immediately greeted him with a smile:
"We met the Nets in the first round. Everyone likes this schedule very much!"
