NBA: Starting with James Harden

Back to the hotel.

Open the system.

The attribute points are useless.

Open the [Lucky Gift Pack】

"Ding, get the [Wing Chun] skill."

Li Zhen is no longer surprised by the system's appearance of skills other than basketball.

This skill is optional and will not be reflected on the panel. Li Zhen just thinks he is better at fighting.

However, the current society is not about fists. Even beating someone up on the court is a waste of money.....

Li Zhen did not hesitate, he thought of the conversation with Nowitzki in the car.

Li Zhen was lying on the bed thinking about his future direction.

If the current situation continues, he will definitely be the future boss of the Mavericks.

But Nowitzki still has many years before he retires. Before he retires, Li Zhen's achievements will inevitably have his shadow.

Just as Nowitzki said.

Li Zhen doesn't just want a top salary!

He wants status and honor!

Two or three years is a short time for others, but it is really too long for Li Zhen. Li Zhen doesn't know if he has the patience.

Li Zhen needs a lot of tactics and ball possession to hone himself and improve his strength to the SSS level as soon as possible.

As for the Mavericks, to put it bluntly, Carlisle may keep him on the bench next season because of tactical arrangements.

No matter how much nonsense it is, Li Zhen doesn't believe that he can reach the SSS level on the bench.....

Li Zhen wants to have a team that absolutely belongs to him!

He wants to be the MVP, he wants to be the best player in the world!

No doubt about it!

This is also his highest dream of playing basketball.

While Li Zhen was thinking about it, Reba's video call came.

Reba:"What are you doing?"

Li Zhen:"Thinking about you."

Reba:"Huh, you are really good at coaxing people now."

Li Zhen changed the subject and said:"I can only coax you. By the way, which city do you think has better scenery? If you were in my shoes, which city would you choose to live in?"

Reba put her finger on her mouth and thought for a while:"Los Angeles and New York are both good.........".....

Li Zhen did not discuss his career with Reba, but talked about life.

Men are responsible for the outside world, and women are responsible for the inside world. This is the decision that Li Zhen should make according to his traditional thinking.

No matter which city Li Zhen goes to, it is just a conceptual issue for Reba. Li Zhen can just tell her in advance after making a choice............

The next morning, the Mavericks flew back to Dallas, and the players went home to take a two-day break.

Cuban went directly to the general manager's office to find Nelson!

"Donny, how much salary space do we have this summer? Can we renew Li Zhen's contract with a maximum salary? Cuban asked this question directly.

"We are already paying the luxury tax. If we want to free up the maximum salary space, we must trade, but we don’t have many chips that others are interested in, so it will be difficult to trade."Nelson said. The Mavericks are mostly veterans, and these veterans have a certain value, but not a lot.

The Mavericks have made the playoffs for many years, and their recent accumulated draft picks are low....

Cuban also knew the difficulty of the operation. After hesitating for a while, he said,"Except for Dirk, do everything possible to keep him."

Nelson nodded.

He knew that Li Zhen's one-year contract left a huge hidden danger for the team. Now the Mavericks are extremely passive in the issue of renewing Li Zhen's contract.......................

During the Mavericks' rest time, news about the playoffs continued to heat up.

《LeBron James experienced the"Friends' Mom" incident, suffered a mental breakdown, and the Cavaliers were eliminated by the Celtics again》

《Unfortunately, 23VS24 failed again!!》

《The Lakers won the decisive game at home, and Kobe scored 46 points like a superhero!》

《Anthony scored 38 points but was unable to prevent the team from losing》

《The Lakers' chance of advancing has reached 80%!!》

《Li Zhen: Our goal this season is to win the championship!》

《Kobe's finger was bandaged after the game, suspected to be injured again》

《Nowitzki made the first team, Li Zhen made the third team, double happiness came to the Mavericks!》........

Two days later.

In the Game 6 between the Lakers and the Nuggets, Kobe, who had a finger injury, led the Lakers to defeat the Denver Nuggets on the plateau with the advantage of the overall lineup!!

In the end of this series, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets 4 to 2.

Li Zhen watched the entire Game 6.

It is undeniable that Kobe's state is still at the end of his peak. Although his physical talent has declined compared to previous years, his experience and team awareness have reached the best state of his career.

The end of today's game also means that the opponent of the Western Conference Finals has finally been determined.

Mavericks VS Lakers.

The second place in the West faces the first place in the West. This time, it is the Lakers who have the home advantage.

When Li Zhen was still at home thinking about how to deal with the tough opponent of the Lakers.

Kobe sent him a message:"Rookie, wait to be slaughtered!!"

Seeing Kobe's message, Li Zhen did not reply. It was meaningless to send text messages to make harsh words.

Starting tonight, the two are enemies!!!.......

The next day, the atmosphere about the Western Conference Finals quickly heated up.

At this stage of the NBA, the world was focused on the four teams in the East and West.

All the details were disclosed by the media.

The players and the coaching staff also attracted the attention of the fans.

"Bynum: Lakers will definitely defend their title, Mavericks will be a stepping stone"

"Artest said: Li Zhen? He is just a kid. I will let him see the intensity of the playoffs."

"Zen Master: I hope that the referee's penalty will not be biased. A player's playing style will always be whistled. This is a harm to basketball."

"Terry: The Lakers are not good, just look at the first two rounds, we won more easily than them"

"Marion: They are too slow, slower than us. I don't think they can pose much threat to us."

"Li Zhen: I am looking forward to playing against Kobe. I hope I can beat him."

After the Lakers were confirmed as the opponent of the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals, domestic fans were also excited.

The Lakers are very popular in China, second only to the Rockets and the Mavericks.

The popularity of the Lakers is basically due to Kobe, not Fisher, Gasol and others.

Kobe's personality is full of charm, and he is known to have 6 billion fans....

"Hope to see a scoring battle between Li Zhen and Kobe!!"

"Come on, Zhen! Although I am a Lakers fan, I hope the Mavericks win this time!"

"Kobe won the championship last year, it's the Mavericks' turn"

"The above guy is so funny, is the championship a round? Whoever is stronger will get it."

"Support the Mavericks, come on Mavericks, beat the Lakers!!"

In China, the Mavericks and Lakers fans are about 6:4!

If Li Zhen was not one of us, it would be impossible for him to overwhelm the Lakers in terms of support.
