Chapter 290 Cleveland's curse of not having a championship for half a century... It's time
Chapter 290 Cleveland's curse of not having a championship for half a century... It's time to break!
Miami plotted their moves.
Li Wan temporarily ended his affairs in Cleveland and devoted himself to the filming of the second half of "Space Jam 2".
"Space Jam 1" tells the story of the management dilemma of the space playground of the monster planet.
The boss of the amusement park sent his Mr. Sisters to Earth for the purpose of kidnapping Warner Bros. cartoon stars, including Bugs Bunny, Toffee Duck, the There little pigs, etc., as attract customers for the amusement park.
In order to maintain freedom, the animation stars urgently consulted on countermeasures. They thought that the alien monster was short in stature, so they decided to use a basketball game to decide the outcome.
However, the wishful thinking of the animation stars fell through, and the little monsters secretly stole the skills of NBA stars such as Ewing, Barkley, Sean Bradley, Boggs, and Larry Johnson, and turned into a strong figure. A slender, highly skilled monster basketball player.
Therefore, the animated characters had to turn to "super foreign aid" Michael Jordan.The athletic Jordan led a group of cartoon characters who couldn't play basketball at all to defeat challengers from beyond the interstellar space, and the little ones stayed on Earth in the end.
Simply put, it is a typical American individual heroism movie.
Judging from the final box office, many people will eat this set.
Of course, there are also many people complaining that this movie is an advertisement for NIKE and Michael Jordan's personal action show.
But that's because special effects technology wasn't up to that level at the time.Just like the Iron Man filmed in the 70s, it makes people feel that he came out with a welder's hood on his head.There is no sense of technology at all later.
Now it is 2014, and the overall special effects technology has improved a lot, and it will no longer give people such a strong sense of lens fragmentation.
As for the content of the script, compared with the original bond between Michael Jordan and his father, this version of "Space Jam" has a relaxed and happy atmosphere under Li Wan's suggestion.
At the beginning of the movie, the cartoon characters encounter a new enemy, and by accident, the two sides decide to decide the outcome in a basketball game.
The few people headed by Bugs Bunny are still the same as before, ready to invite Michael Jordan out of the mountain.
It's just that when they found Michael Jordan, the latter declined them: "I'm old. Although I can come back twice, I don't think I can help you the second time."
Will the "God of Basketball" also grow old?
This makes the Bugs Bunny very desperate.
Michael Jordan gave them some pointers at this time: "But I know someone whose ability is also very good."
"Who is he?"
"I can't tell you who he is, you can go to the east to find it yourself!"
Bugs Bunny got advice, discussed for a long time, and finally came to New York.
When they saw the devastated streets of New York, they shouted: "This is not New York!"
A beautiful woman passed by, heard their conversation, and explained to them: "This is New York, but because of one person's departure, this place has changed."
Bugs Bunny faintly felt something related to what he was looking for and asked, "Who is he?"
"He's the best basketball player in the world!"
"Better than Michael Jordan?"
"Compared to the current Michael, it's like this..."
"Then where did he go?"
"He went to save another city!"
"where?"
"Cleveland!"
Then the Bugs Bunny went to Cleveland.
"This is not Cleveland!"
Looking at the completely new frontier town, the Bugs Bunny was once again amazed.
Another beautiful woman passed by, heard their conversation, and said, "This is Cleveland, but someone came to save it."
"Who is he? Is he the best basketball player in the world?"
"Who said that?"
"A New Yorker!"
"They do think so."
"Do you know where he is?"
"Are you going to see him?"
"Yes, we would like to ask him for help."
"Then you have found the right person, come with me, I know where he is."
"then who are you?"
"Me? I'm his fiancee."
……
After all the twists and turns, Bugs Bugs found Li Wan, and they were surprised when they found out that the best basketball player in the world is Asian.At this time, Li Wan uttered a sentence that elevates the whole movie: "This is basketball, it will never be defined!"
Then came the training, the competition with the monsters, and finally Li Wan started the "Li Wan Moment" and ended the battle.
There are still many lines in the movie, such as when Li Wan started "Li Wan Moment", a monster in the monster team shouted: "He is more like a monster than us!"
Another example is that at the end of the game, Li Wan shook hands with the monster captain on the opposite side.
"Are you still going to play basketball?"
"Of course!"
"How many more years?"
"Until my love wears off."
……
If nothing else, this movie will be a joy for all ages.
At the same time, there are a lot of easter eggs in the movie, which are worth digging carefully.
Michael Jordan's appearance is actually sitting on a throne that is not obvious. ——He was able to agree to act because of Nike's face. They hope that Jordan and Li Wan will have a legacy in this movie.
The Woman in the Streets of New York is guest-starred by none other than Alexandra Daddario.
Not to mention that woman in Cleveland, Taylor Swift.
In addition, there are no fewer than ten top stars who made cameo appearances in this film.
There are even more basketball players, including Kobe and others.Branches to flesh out the story.
After the second half of the filming is finished, July is coming to an end.
During this time, Griffin has been peddling Irving who wants to leave.
It's just not as it should be.
main reason:
Since 09, the league has been able to produce a few good perimeter players every time.
Now in the entire league, there is really no shortage of outside players at Irving's level.
After all, he has just finished his third year, and his average per game is only about 20 plus 6. He has been an All-Star substitute once, and he has never been in the "best team", let alone his team leadership.
In the past four years of the Cavaliers, this draft pick has not been lower than the fourth pick in the first round.
He is not yet the next-level "super giant" in the league, and he has not proved his ability on the stage of the finals.
The current value is really not high.
But he is a "champion pick" after all, and he also averages 20 plus 6 per game. Griffin himself is not happy if there are fewer changes.
Most importantly, if Li Wan finds out...
I don't know, I thought he was incapable of Griffin, holding an All-Star bench-level player, and he couldn't exchange high-quality resources.
No, no, absolutely not!
Li Wanchu has just arrived, and Griffin must let him know that he will not only "respect", but also have real materials.
However, although Irving's contract has not been finalized, but...
Griffin still made moves during this period.
He nailed the coaching staff...
When Li Wan heard the name of the head coach of the new season of the Cavaliers, he froze for a moment.
Because, the head coach of the Cavaliers for the new season is not someone else...
It was "Perch" Tyronn Lou!
After following Stan Van Gundy for two or three years, Tyronn Lue went to play behind Rivers for another two years. After learning the "stunts" of the two, he felt that he could "become a teacher".
So when I heard that the Cavaliers needed a head coach, I hurried to apply.
Although he has two "stunt skills" by his side, the best tactic he has learned is the set of "super invincible nirvana"-give the ball to...!
He believes in himself, and he will definitely be able to use this tactic well!
Hehehe, Li Xiansen, all encounters in this world are reunions after a long absence!
He couldn't wait and called Li Wan: "Dude, I didn't expect that we would meet again in the Cavaliers!"
Before he made this call, Griffin had just explained to Li Wan why he chose Tyronn Lu.
The reason is also very simple...
Very bullying!
For a "super giant" like Li Wan, the most important thing is to protect his rights and interests.
Anyway...
When Griffin served LeBron James, it was like this.
The first is to make LeBron James comfortable and not let him be constrained by too many tactics to hold the ball.
Some people's style of play is to hold 80% of the ball and then give you a satisfactory data answer sheet.
Li Wan really wanted to say that this "pedantic thought of the previous dynasty" should not be brought to the "current dynasty".
However, no matter what Griffin thinks, Tyronn Lue is always no problem.
Although he doesn't have Popovich's use of soldiers, Phil Jackson's "chicken soup", and Steve Kerr's "cup heart", this man...
This person really has "dog luck"!
Guess, how many championship trophies does Tyronn Lue have in this time and space?
the answer is……
3 seats!
He first won the "back-to-back" championships in 00 and 01 with the Lakers.
In Orlando, he won the "Magic team's first championship" with the team...
Ok?
The first two championships are "back to back", and the third championship is the "first championship in team history" of a certain team...
Bold!
what's up!
Director Lu, what are you connoting?
No wonder, after winning the third championship trophy, he retired. If he went to another team to win another championship.
between……
Would you mind the script of "the best player in history"?
And this dog luck became more prominent after he reached the position of head coach.
Especially in the playoffs, this big score is less than 1 to 3 behind, and they will not play at all.
In the original time and space, when Tyronn Lue fell behind by a big score of 1-3 in the playoffs, his final winning percentage was the highest among the head coaches in the league.
In addition, don't underestimate Tyronn Lue's coaching ability.
In the original 2016 finals, the "dual-core" tactic was adopted when the score was 1-3 behind. James and Irving played singles, pick-and-rolls and double-teams consumed Curry...
These are changes made by Ty Lunlue and have nothing to do with LeBron's self-contained system.
He is also the first head coach in the NBA to use double-team tactics against Curry.
It's just that compared to his ability, his "dog luck" is even better!
While the Cavaliers signed Tyronn Lue, there was a big news from the Bulls. They traded with the Lakers, sent Boozer and a 2015 second-round pick, and got a two-year 3 million extension. Pau Gasol of the Lakers.
After the deal was concluded, the Spaniard thanked the Lakers management and Kobe for taking care of him over the years.
Obviously, this deal was expected long ago, and the Lakers should have informed it in advance.
The action of the Lakers means that they will officially enter the reconstruction period.
Experts are not surprised by this...
The West is just too ferocious.
Whether it is the "Three Young Thunder" or the Spurs with a new successor, neither the current Lakers can compete.
Although we all know that Kobe still wants to compete for the championship, but he has fallen before the Western Conference semifinals year after year. If he does not show the determination to "break his wrists", then he will be fooling around year after year.
Old Bath was a man of character.
What he owed Kobe, he decided to make up for it with money.
He signed a 3+3 contract with Kobe with a starting salary of more than 1 million yuan, and he also clearly stated: "This is compensation for Kobe for so many years."
This signing and the words of the old Bass made this alliance warm.
But more people turned their attention to the Chicago Bulls.
After getting Pau Gasol, this is a new starting lineup with "Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng, Pau Gasol and Noah"...
Just looking at these players on this team, people can't help but call "abnormal"!
The Chicago media was very satisfied, and after the deal was completed, they also shouted the slogan: The new season is our most promising season.
At the beginning of August, there was still no good progress in the matter of Griffin trading Irving.
No wonder...
The Deron Williams of the Lakers is still up for grabs, let alone Kevin Irving.
But unexpectedly, Kyrie Irving suddenly sent him a message through his agent:
I'm going to the Heat!
between……
Still clicked!
What kind of coffee do you have in your mind?
Griffin was furious.
But he still replied patiently: I can't give you an accurate answer, I can only say that I am as satisfied as possible.
But Irving's agent is very tough: If it weren't for the Heat, neither my client nor I can guarantee that we will renew our contract with a new team!Of course, only you know for the time being, we have such thoughts!
special!
Griffin almost smashed the phone.
He couldn't understand the threat from Irving's agent.
Can……
Even though he was angry, he hung up and called Pat Riley.
This is the way to be a general manager. You can't be impulsive. Before the loss reaches the maximum, it is the criterion of every general manager to minimize the loss as much as possible.
Therefore, in order to ensure that Irving does not force the palace in front of the media, Griffin can only "obey".
But after a brief contact with Pat Riley, Griffin knew that the other party had already hooked up with Irving's agent, and it was not difficult to hear from his words that he was the one who hooked up Irving to Miami. of.
bitch!
The last time he hooked up with LeBron James, he hasn't settled with this guy yet!
As a result, I have scored twice with him now. If the tiger really doesn't show its power, you think I'm a sick cat, right?
I will return this account to you sooner or later!
Griffin cursed secretly, but when he spoke, his tone returned to normal: "So, what can I get in this deal? I can't send an All-Star player for nothing!"
Pat Riley didn't speak directly, but waited quietly for a while before speaking: "Dwyane Wade!"
Who?
Griffin almost suspected that he had heard wrong.
Although in terms of Wade's status, it is indeed not "not for sale".
But in this league, when discussing a player, it's not just about his condition.
This……
But the soul of the Heat!
The person who helped Miami win the first championship in team history!
Can this also be traded?
Griffin can see it, Pat Riley, this bitch is really not afraid of being poked in the back of his spine!
but……
That's a Pat Riley thing too!
It has nothing to do with him. If there is controversy at that time, it will be Pat Riley who will suffer the biggest attack!
After a brief shock, Griffin regained his composure and began to seriously examine the deal. He bluntly said: "Wade's contract is too big!"
The difference with Chris Bosh and LeBron is that Wade signed a 4 plus 2 contract at the time, which means that he can jump out of the contract two years in advance.
And his total contract in the last two years was as high as more than 2 million.
There is no news of Wade jumping out of this contract yet.
Although with the salary space of the Cavaliers, it is no problem to eat this contract.
However, with Wade's current state, he must still be a first-line player at the second position in the league, but he is definitely not worth 2 million.The key is that his knee is still a "big hidden danger", and 2 million a year will be more.
Griffin has to think about the future of this team.
If the trade is done like this, it will be reimbursed in the new season. This is a 2 million shortfall, and he is afraid that he will be hacked to pieces by the people of Cleveland.After all, the time has been set. After two seasons, the Cavaliers will move to Columbus. These two seasons are also Cleveland's last chance. Of course, they hope that the team can leave a championship trophy before leaving...
Pat Riley said: "I will persuade him to jump out of the contract and sign a contract with less salary."
abnormal!
Hearing what Pat Riley said, Griffin's mouth twitched unconsciously.
Because he really can't imagine what kind of conversation can make a player who is no longer at his peak jump out of his contract with a total value of 4 million and renew a contract with a lower salary.
"Let me think about it again!"
Griffin was in no rush to agree.
For such a big matter, he needs to know what Li Wan's attitude is!
So he immediately called Li Wan.
"Dude, can you believe it?"
Griffin repeated what Pat Riley just said to Li Wan.
Especially when Pat Riley said that he could persuade Wade to jump out of his current contract and sign a contract with less total salary, his voice was a little trembling.
Although he is now an opponent, Griffin must admit that Pat Riley is what he wants to live.
After Li Wan knew about this, he was not surprised, because this had happened before.
Wade jumped out of the last 2 years of the current contract and signed a 2-year salary with a smaller salary of about 3300 million.
then……
Pat Riley never gave him a contract with an annual salary of more than 2 million. Wade left Miami because of this, joined the Bulls for 4400 million in two years, and drifted outside for a while.
He thought that after the beating of this incident, he could see the true face of Pat Riley clearly, but he didn't expect Pat Riley's words in the later years of his career to deceive him back to the Heat.
For him, "the old brings the new" and passed on the "way of heat".
Speaking of it, it may also be because of this. Later, when he was on the "retirement tour", so many younger stars were unwilling to talk to him.
In addition to not enough coffee seats...
What have you been made of by the capitalists, but you have been dragged into two to five to eighty thousand with us!
What kind of cow are you!
Also "retirement tour"!
In fact, Li Wan couldn't figure out why Wade was so loyal to Pat Riley.
Could it be that when he first entered the league, he was trained by Pat Riley to leave a shadow in his heart, and since then he has become afraid of him and obeyed him?
Such a "big cheek", and his relationship is still a patient with severe Stockholm syndrome!
"If it doesn't work, send him to the Heat!"
This is Li Wan's last opinion.
As for where to send Owen, Li Wan actually didn't take it to heart.
He is well aware of this period, a group of "genius guards" in the league, John Wall, Kemba Walker, Lowry, Collison in the east, Curry, Lillard in the west...
They are all players whose strength is not much different from him, or even far surpassed.
In this era of "insiders are more expensive", the current Irving is actually very embarrassing.
It can be seen later that he failed to enter the "75th National Congress".
He's really not worth much.
In exchange for Wade, in Li Wan's opinion, it is considered good.
After all, Irving's current best result in leading the team is No.11 in the Eastern Conference.
And let alone the current Irving is worthless, the future Irving is also worthless.
In the original time and space, the Cavaliers sent Irving to the Celtics in exchange for the seriously injured Thomas Jr., Crowder, Zizic and the Nets' first-round pick. The front-line defensive player also has a first-round pick;
Later, Irving was sent by the Nets in exchange for Finney-Smith, Dinwiddie, an unprotected first-round pick in 2029, a second-round pick in 2027, and a second-round pick in 2029.
It looks good, but the Nets also took a big Morris in this deal.
So it can be seen that even Irving at his peak, the transaction value cannot reach a super giant specification.
But this way...
The Heat's core lineup becomes: LeBron James, Irving and Love.
Jie Nima!
Miami Cavaliers?
Li Wan never expected that the three brothers could get together.
It can only be said that fate is destined!
With Li Wan's permission, Griffin called Pat Riley again two days later. There was no nonsense, and the deal was quickly finalized.
On August 8, the league officially approved the deal.
After the Heat renewed their contract with Wade for 2 million dollars in two years, they traded him to the Cavaliers and only changed Irving. (If there is enough salary space, even if the salary is unbalanced, it can be changed individually.)
"This is a business alliance!"
"Is Pat Riley a cold-blooded animal?"
"Wade was actually traded. Does Pat Riley know what Wade means to this city?"
……
When the deal came out, everyone was incomparably shocked.
In the NBA, there are so few players who were once thought to never be traded, and in this list, there is the name "Dwyane Wade".
why?
Because he brought the Miami Heat the first championship in team history.
From that moment on, his name was tightly bound to Miami!
But now, he has been traded...
"Pat Riley lied to me, he told me to opt out of the contract to strengthen, but he sent me out!"
Dwyane Wade complained angrily on Twitter.
Some fans' messages are very heartbreaking:
In fact, in a sense, he didn't lie to you.
The Miami Heat really stepped up!
It's not that the current Irving must be better than the current Wade, but...
The future Irving must be better than the future Wade!
Therefore, the Heat fans are very entangled at the moment.
Emotionally speaking, Pat Riley's matter is indeed inappropriate; but in terms of team reinforcement, it is really blocked, my old baby!
and so……
"Dwyane, I hope you can live better!"
"I believe that your career will definitely get better and better!"
"Wade, you will always be the greatest player on the Heat!"
……
Miami fans chose to bless.
These messages were exchanged for the ridicule of "Bleacher": "It is obviously the most passionate city, but there are a group of the coldest people. Blessed!"
It's like between exes, if the party who took the initiative to break up meets someone better, his reaction must be to send a hypocritical sentence: I hope you can live a better life.
But if the party who took the initiative to break up has a miserable life, the one he let go will have a better place to go.
I'm afraid the "flame of jealousy" would have burned him dry long ago!
The current situation of Heat fans belongs to the first category.
They have a brighter "New Big Three", subconsciously ignored Wade's current bleak situation, and only said "I hope you have a good life".
Seeing these comments, Wade's heart was completely chilled, and he really wanted to post a post:
Feed the dog like youth!
He used to be proud of being a Heat player, now he really feels like a clown.
Just when he was extremely lonely, he received a text message from a stranger.
——Hey, buddy, this is Li Wan, this is my number, welcome to the Cavaliers.
Before he could reply, another text message came over. This text message had a note, it was... Chris Bosh.
——Haha, we are teammates again, I really look forward to the new season coming soon!And come to Cleveland quickly, I have some good things in my room, let's get well together then.
Then there were text messages one after another, all sent to him by Cavaliers players.
Such unification is naturally not a coincidence, but Li Wan's intention.
He knew that Wade was very cold now and needed someone to light a "fire" for him. As the boss of the Cavaliers, Li Wan naturally had to take on this matter.
Wade was indeed warmed up.
This kind of atmosphere reminded him of when he first joined the Heat. At that time, the "big brothers" in the team took good care of him as a "little brother", and he grew up quickly.
It's just that it became a "super giant" later, but this feeling can't be found.
just now……
He felt this warmth again for a long time.
Wade is in a much better mood.
Irving packed his luggage before the transaction happened and set foot on the road to Miami. ——This time, we need to make some noise.
He also had the confidence to "break" and make some noise.
Because, his "God" will not lie to him!
"Yes, buddy, we got Irving!" Rick Paul also called LeBron James as soon as the deal was concluded, "Pat Riley's routine is really too deep, even from Irving's Start with religious beliefs and let his religious 'priest' lie to him, we have to be careful not to be fooled by him in the future!"
LeBron James listened to Rich Paul's words. This is obviously good news, but he only felt a little noisy. He dealt with a few words, hung up the phone, looked at the name of the contact person, Wade, and was in a daze silently.
Sorry bro!
Then edited the text message and sent it to Wade:
——OMG, how could this happen, brother, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen!omg...but trust me bro, you will make it, your career won't end like this!I expect you to be more and more exciting, we are brothers!
Seeing what LeBron James said, Wade muttered indistinctly twice. He already knew the news of LeBron James' contract extension with the Heat.
Ok……
Just renewed!
Less than half a day after this happened, LeBron James' team renewed the contract with Pat Riley!
How could he not know?
Thinking about myself again, I took the initiative to give up my core position for this "good brother" to perform better, but now I have ended up like this. Brown James is on the "blacklist"!
He's tired of the blessings from Miami.
From morning to now, it's all these news.
Don't these people know how miserable he is now?
hypocritical!
but……
Wade, who was already sitting on the plane, suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction, which was the destination of the plane - Cleveland.
There was more hope in his eyes.
Chris Bosh left the Heat not much better than he is now.
As a result, within one season, he turned over directly and became the "Dragon King" who "calls the wind and calls the rain" again.
Now that Chris Bosh has done it, there's no reason why he can't...
Although his problem is more serious than that of Chris Bosh, because his own injury history and his age of 32 are all resistances for him to "stand up" again.
It is almost certain that he will not be able to regain his peak state!
Then how should he turn over?
Wade closed his eyes and thought.
The faces of Li Wan and Chris Bosh kept flashing in his mind, and suddenly the figure of LeBron James also flashed across his mind.
Wait a minute……
Wade opened his eyes suddenly, he thought of something.
Now the core lineup of the Cavaliers is him plus Chris Bosh plus Li Wan...
Compared with the original Heat team, isn't this lineup just replacing LeBron James with Li Wan?
The Big Three of the "Heat" failed to make it to the finals for 3 consecutive years, let alone the championship!
Now, if he, Li Wan and Chris Bosh can lead the Cavaliers to the finals and win the championship...
The "Heat Big Three" failed to win the championship, the biggest question is who...
Isn't it clear at a glance!
Correct!
It's this, it's this!
Wade's expression suddenly became a little brighter.
He suddenly found the "key to breaking the game"!
win the championship!
As long as you win the championship...
everything will get better!
Cleveland Airport.
Chris Bosh knew that Wade would arrive in Cleveland today. As an old teammate, he felt the need to come to the airport to pick him up. Looking at the time on his phone, he walked towards the passenger aisle.
At the same time, I kept thinking silently in my heart:
Don't mention Miami, and don't mention anything about the team!
He felt that at this time, Wade would definitely not want to hear these things.
So, he had to avoid it as much as possible.
only……
"Chris, let's work hard and win the championship!"
amount……
Looking at the excited "Flashman" in front of him, Chris Bosh's long neck was hooked into a "?", he didn't understand which link went wrong.
Or……
Dwyane Wade is such a man!
In just a short day, everything has been digested and absorbed.
To be honest, at this moment, Wade is much taller in Chris Bosh's heart.
He has also experienced such a moment, if it weren't for Li Wan, he really couldn't have walked out so quickly.
At this point, Wade is much better than him!
No wonder the "03 Generation" was the first to succeed!
Of course, it's good news for Chris Bosh that Wade recovered so quickly. In this way, his "Brother Wan" will definitely be very happy.
I have solved problems for my family "Wan Giegie", happy!
Bosh showed a self-satisfied smile.
On August 8, Li Wan ended the announcement of the "Plan B" product during this period.
This summer, "Plan B" sold a total of two signature shoes, namely his "Li Wan II" and Stephen Curry's "Curry Generation".The current situation is very good.
"The Second Generation of Li Wan: Old Things in New York" has sold 2000 million pairs so far.
This figure is from the United States, and the domestic figure is even more exaggerated...
At present, it has sold 4000 million. It is estimated that this signature shoe is the same as the previous one, with sales reaching 3 million. It should be a matter of grasping.
Curry's signature shoes are not as strong as his, but Li Wan is not worried about this. The new season is coming, and the outbreak of Stephen Curry and the Warriors is also coming.
The term "Ten Years of Warriors fans" comes from this period.
It refers to the success of the Warriors, which gave them a large number of "die-hard fans" out of thin air.
The original Under Armor also started in the past two years, and the market price has soared, becoming another "basketball shoe" for walking.
From here, we can see how fierce the whirlwind that Curry is about to blow is.
After the announcement of the sneakers, Li Wan received a call from the Ohio ZF.
The arrival of Li Wan is a "stimulant" for the entire Ohio State!
Although the relocation has not yet started, the changes in Columbus have already begun. With the support of the Ohio government, there are two to three Lee Wan Plazas that have started together with the arena.
Among them, the new arena named after Li Wan and one of the Li Wan Plazas started construction two years ago. The project has lasted for two years. In the next two years at most, this arena and a The plaza can then be completed at the same time.
The phone call from the Ohio ZF was to inform Li Wan that the store documents he wanted had been approved.
Li Wan immediately flew to Columbus with Taylor and the team to meet with the Ohio ZF team.
Any brand that wants to form an influence must have its own offline stores...
Li Wan has been planning this matter. Since he knows the future development situation, he does not plan to open a large-scale store, but at least in Columbus, where his team is located, there must be a certain number of stores.
He believes that business will definitely not be bad.
Just like the original Yao Ming opened several "Yao restaurants" in Houston.There are always local customers coming.
Clothes are consumables again...
Most importantly, after the Ohio ZF found out about this, it immediately secured more than a dozen stores for Li Wan, allowing him to use them for offline promotion of his brand.
This……
It is the advantage of relying on the alma mater!
No matter how influential he is in New York, it is not that simple to compete with those capitalists for meat.Especially those land boundaries where every inch of land is very precious, it is really difficult to get your hands on it.
But in Columbus, let’s just pick whatever you want, the ZF approved it for him, and the location is very good.
Of course, these stores are nothing compared to what Li Wan's influence brought to Columbus.
Why did the Ohio ZF dare to start work on three Li Wan Plazas at the same time?
Isn't it because some brands have signed contracts with them and are ready to enter?
Without exception, these brands all came here because of Li Wan's arrival.
Such economic stimulus is urgently needed for Columbus!
In this way, Li Wan stayed in Columbus for three or four days. By the way, he bought a mansion worth 10 million at a place about 800 minutes' drive away from the Li Wan Stadium that will be built in the future.
Speaking of...
Columbus is one of the most un-American cities among the many cities in the United States.
The city it...
No guns!
Security is among the top in the United States.
At the same time, like Atlanta, it is also a city where the rich like to live.
Buying a house in the rich area here will definitely not lose money.
Especially in the future, this city will have a team that belongs to them, plus the economic stimulus from Li Wan's arrival...
That picture, just thinking about it, the mayor of Columbus would have a snot bubble.
"Are you going back so soon?"
At the end of August, Li Wan was going back to Cleveland to make adjustments for the new season.
Although he doesn't owe Cleveland anything, Gilbert's letter set him up very high. For him, leaving Cleveland with a championship is something that must be completed before leaving.
and……
If he hasn't won a championship in Cleveland for two years, what will the outside world think of him!
Sitting on the throne, the next step will only be harder!
Taylor, who was lying on Li Wan's body, was a little bit unsatisfied.
Although Taylor has been staying with Li Wan recently due to filming and store affairs, but in the past few days after dealing with the store affairs, in Taylor's view, life is...
Just the two of them, without being disturbed, can live day and night, um...
Learn the "Asian squat."
Li Wan looked at her reluctance, laughed and ruffled her hair, so angry that she sat up directly.
"oops!"
Straightening out his hair, Taylor rolled his eyes, and with a sly smile on his lips, he rushed towards Li Wan.
The two quickly scuffled together.
fight...
This next scene is not allowed to be written!
On September 9, Li Wan returned to Cleveland, and Taylor returned to New York to prepare for the release of the new album.
Griffin made two deals during that time.
First, a two-way contract signed Stephen Curry's younger brother Seth Curry, and then a 200 million "veteran contract" signed Li Wan's former teammate Rashad Lewis.
After finalizing the deal, the Cavaliers' lineup for the new season has gradually taken shape:
"Position one: Li Wan, Seth Curry;
Second position: Dwyane Wade, Dion Waiters;
Third position: Wiggins, Daequan Cook;
Four: Chris Bosh, Tristan Thompson, Lewis, Earl Clark;
Fifth position: Kwame Brown, Cody Zeller, "Queen" Varejao;"
From the perspective of the entire lineup, the strength must be there, but the depth of the championship level is slightly insufficient.
The main problem is that there are too many newcomers.
Although Thompson and Dion West have been in the league for a while, they have never seen any big scenes.It is prone to failure in the playoffs.
Not to mention Wiggins.
Full of talent, and potential, means that his experience bar is also empty!
In the core position, the health problems of some players can easily become hidden dangers.
For example, Wade, in the original 14-15 season, he only played 62 games and missed 20 of them.
However, thinking about it, this is the first year the Cavaliers were formed, and there are no All-Star All-Star players who are in their prime to vote. It is actually very good to be able to form the current lineup.
Moreover, this lineup is far from the time to stop changing.
Take your time, the good news is that Li Wan is not in a hurry...
At present, before upgrading the template, he still has one task left, which is 7 "Best Defense Team" honors.
In the case that he won the "Best Defensive Player Award" last season, in fact, he does not need to pay attention to this aspect in the new season. According to the practice of the league, it is impossible for him to be directly kicked out of the "Best Defense Team". A "Best Defensive Second Team" transition.
Then let this piece of "cake" go out.
And that's when he doesn't pay attention to the defensive end at all...
As long as his defensive data is still impressive, it is not a problem for him to enter the "best defensive team" a few more times.
Let's put it this way, Li Wan has already seen the new template smiling at him.
All he has to do now is to wait quietly for the arrival of the new season, and just wait for himself to be included in the "Best Defensive Team".
Honestly...
Somewhat twisted.
After all, in the past two years, he has racked his brains and made various plans for the "Best Defensive Player Award".
Sure enough, a man with wind in his blood is naturally suitable for wandering outside!
Before the new season's open training camp, Griffin completed two more deals.
First, he brought Jason Terry from the Kings with next year's second-round pick, and then brought Nelson Jr. to the team with a 2-year, 5 million contract.
After signing Nelson Jr., the Cavaliers' 15-man roster for the new season can be considered complete.
Finally, September 9th came.
The Quicken Loans Arena has been bustling since early in the morning, and countless reporters have been waiting outside the arena.
This scene is really familiar and unfamiliar to Cleveland fans.
They remember that 10 years ago, such a scene was very common in Quicken Loans Center, but 10 years later, such a scene is very difficult to see.
Counting on your fingers, this is already the 4th year.
4 years have passed so quickly...
Li Wan drove from his rented house, passed by the city center, and saw his personal poster on the huge advertising wall in the city center from a distance.
I heard that a full-body statue of him will be built in the city center.
The city has apparently completely forgotten its past!
With a positive attitude, embrace their new and bright future.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Gilbert arrived and accompanied Li Wan to the Cavaliers' first press conference of the new season together with Griffin.
There are many new aids joining the Cavaliers this summer, including Chris Bosh and Wade, who are familiar super giants in the league.
But for this city, a new beginning must start with Li Wan.
He deserves a separate press conference in Cleveland just for him...
This represented the uniqueness of Li Wan in their hearts.
And when the red light on the microphone in front of Li Wan turned on, the eyes of all the reporters also lit up, and everyone was waiting for Li Wan to speak.
They wanted to know what Li Wan's first words would be when he put on the No. 25 Cavaliers jersey.
They remember that at the Orlando airport, Li Wan said to the camera, "Let the world focus on Orlando"... and he did it, and he gave Orlando the first championship in team history;
Then, when facing the New York media, he said "Let the holy land of basketball live up to its name"... As a result, he did it again. He made the New York Knicks become another one after the Bulls and Lakers played "three consecutive games". Championship team!
No, it should be said that after the Celtics, it is the second "Dynasty team" to win "four consecutive championships"!
just now……
He's coming to Cleveland!
he……
What would you say?
Li Wan looked at the pair of shining eyes, and coughed lightly twice: "Cleveland's curse of not having a championship for half a century...it's time to break!"
