Chapter 492

Li Lei had an absolute advantage in this game. He scored a game-high 41 points and 17 assists. This kind of performance is hard to see in the regular season. This is the biggest difference between a real giant and a fake superstar. The real superstars are all shining in the playoffs.

The strong performance of the Bulls brought out the distorted pattern of the entire Eastern Conference. They were at the top of the Eastern Conference, while other teams were at the same level. Many sunspots and the media made a fuss about this, saying that the existence of Li Lei and the Bulls affected the ecological balance of the Eastern Conference. If Li Lei was really good, he should go to the Western Conference to prove himself.

As Li Lei's strength increased, this kind of argument became more and more common, but Li Lei never said anything, but the media that made this kind of argument basically couldn't get interviews with Li Lei, so under normal circumstances, it was only some tabloids who did it. When ESPN commented on Li Lei, it was not as subjective as it used to be.

Moreover, after seeing the ending of Oscar Robertson, those ancient celebrities who like bloggers' attention rarely step on Li Lei. After all, what should they step on? Li Lei's achievements in two seasons are more than their entire career.

And Stern also felt that his decision was very wise. If this time the MVP was given to Duncan instead of Li Lei, although the majority of American fans saw it, the NBA would lose its credibility in China and even Asia. Li Lei is the spokesperson of that continent, no, to be precise, the global spokesperson of the NBA.

He seems to have done what Grant Hill did not do before. His appearance has added a lot of elite and high-society fans to the NBA. This is what Stern is willing to see, and perhaps his height is impossible for ordinary stars to reach, because the NBA feels like a bunch of muscles without brains. Sticks are just fighting.

And the Chosen One, LeBron James, who was conferred the name of Little Emperor by Nike, can challenge Li Lei's current status, just like the fledgling Jordan, challenging the magician and Larry Bird.

It's just that Li Lei has too much influence compared to Magician and Larry Bird. James wants to surpass the opponent. In three seasons, he has no chance at all.

But it's good to be able to add some impact to Li Lei, because Stern doesn't want Li Lei, like Jordan, to retire and do other things after feeling that basketball is not challenging.

Speaking of James, after learning that the Cleveland Cavaliers won the No. [-] lottery, the quasi-No. [-] pick was very aggrieved and uncomfortable. He wanted to refuse to report like Francis did, but he quickly dispelled the idea. If you go to that place by yourself, you may be able to win the championship without much effort, but James has never been a person who likes to be the second child.So the Bulls can't do it, what about the third pick in New York.

Although the Knicks are bad at the moment, New York is a big city, and they don't have a clear core at the moment. If they go there by themselves, they will definitely have better exposure than Cleveland. Thinking of this, James' heart was moved, and he found his agent Leon Rose.

"Leon, do you have a way for me to go to New York? To be honest, I really don't want to play for the Cavaliers. This city and this team seem to be cursed. If I go, I will definitely make the same mistakes as Brad."There was a high-gloss performance, but soon fell,

Leon Rose is also very annoying recently, because he doesn't want his employer to go to Kecun, but he currently has no right to speak in the NBA. Compared with David Falk, Perry Rogers is still a bit worse.

"LeBron, this matter is not that easy. You need a good personality to maintain your current brilliance. If this personality collapses, then everything will be over. You must not think that old Jewish man Stern is easy to meet. He wants to punish you. There are tens of thousands of ways."

Leon Rose's life experience is much richer than that of James. Although James is currently a good businessman, he is a young man with no life experience.

"Then Leon, what can you do?"

Leon Rose pondered for a while, then patted James on the shoulder, "I will communicate with the Knicks. If it's the best, it's not bad in Cleveland. At least your pressure is not as great as in New York. You must know that Patrick Ewing has paid so much for the Knicks, but is it not the same as being kicked out in his later years? It's not so easy to join a big team, especially for a rookie like you, a small ball market is more suitable for your development. After all, the pressure is not as great as a big team. Comparing Bruce, but LeBron, I think it’s better for you not to compare him to yourself, because that guy is completely detached from the essence of human beings, he’s more of a monster than a human being, you understand?”

James clenched his fist and nodded, but he was still unconvinced. Although James was humble on the surface and knew how to behave, he was a very proud person in his bones. His goal in entering the NBA was to become NBA No. 1, whether it was the top four shooting guards or the top four forwards. He even became the youngest mvp in NBA history. Jealousy, James is so jealous of a player for the first time in his life. This guy who is less than two years older than himself, he has been in contact with basketball for such a short time, why can he achieve such achievements.

Leon Rose went to communicate with the Knicks. Grunfeld was naturally very interested, so he started a negotiation with the Cavaliers. As a result, John Paxson didn't give him any chance at all, and directly rejected Grunfeld.
