NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 281 The key year of Leibalong
Portland City Airport Concourse.
"Mike, I didn't expect that the one who left would be you."
Waking up one night, Wang Zelin, who was still immersed in the carnival, was relieved a lot after seeing his little brother being traded.
"It's nothing, Wang, the NBA is a business league, and separation is the norm. You have to adapt to it."
Mike Roberts said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, those who came to comfort were comforted by those who left.
"Haha, yes, I believe in your ability. No one in Brooklyn can compete with you."
"That's necessary, don't look at who this uncle is."
After laughing, the two put away their smiles.
Wang Zelin stepped forward, hugged Mike Roberts, and said in his ear: "Come on! My brother! Maybe when you reach the east, you will be able to bloom with your own brilliance, unlike me and LaMarcus now. stand in front of you."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" After parting, Mike Roberts continued: "However, thank you for your blessings. The next time we meet, we will be opponents... Well, it's hard to imagine that one day I will become a monster like you. The opponent...it's terrifying!"
After that, Mike Roberts turned decisively and boarded the airport.
Finding his seat and sitting down, Mike Roberts had a sweeping view of Portland below through the glass of the plane.
The man who has always been in the NBA with the image of a tough guy, his eyes are already red.
I am also a man who once set foot in the Western Conference Finals. How many famous stars have worked hard for so many years and have not touched them!
Speaking of which, I'm pretty lucky.
Goodbye my brother!
Goodbye, beautiful Portland!
Bye bye, I'll let you see my growth.
...
Back at the arena, Wang Zelin practiced many times until late at night.
Before he knew it, it was already the second NBA season, but he still felt uncomfortable with the rush and rush between players.
Fortunately, there is basketball to accompany you!
After practicing for another half hour, it was already 3:30 in the morning. After taking a shower in the bathroom and changing clothes, Wang Zelin closed the door of the tavern and was ready to take the car home.
"Um?"
When he got out, he found that a man was hovering beside his car.
Take a closer look, good guy, it's Lillard.
"I said, why are you running to me if you don't sleep at night? Those who don't know think you're a car thief!"
Wang Zelin stepped forward and joked.
"You are ashamed to say that we originally agreed to release an album together in the off-season. I posted this news on my Facebook account a long time ago. The fans were waiting for it, but it's now..."
As soon as they met, Lillard began to complain.
As he was talking, Wang Zelin patted his head and remembered that there was still such a thing.
"Wang, don't tell me, you are not prepared!" Lillard doubted.
"Cough, how is it possible? Don't insult my noble personality with your suspicious eyes. It's just an album, isn't it enough?"
Wang Zelin quickly patted his chest and said righteously.
"Okay, let's go record it now!"
After speaking, Lillard grabbed Wang Zelin by the hand.
The latter remained motionless.
"what's wrong?"
Lillard asked.
"I said, there is something wrong with your designation here. Who do you want to record at night? Even if I can record it, I just finished playing, and my state is not the best."
Wang Zelin was speechless.
"Uh, yes."
Lillard let go of his hand in embarrassment.
"Forget it, I'll go back to rest first. At 9 o'clock the next morning, you come to my house to find me, and that's it."
"Oh."
Lillard nodded sullenly.
When the roar of the car gradually disappeared, he suddenly reacted.
No, why the day after tomorrow?
Can't you do it tomorrow?
When he got home and parked his car, Wang Zelin took a sip of cool white to suppress his shock, and said with lingering fears: "Fortunately, the labor and management are smart, and it took a day later, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to explain it."
After doing this to Lillard, Wang Zelin lost all sleepiness. He went back to the bedroom and lifted the quilt. Lena in a dark red transparent lace pajamas came into view. I have practiced pressing the gun, and I have forgotten many skills.
Goblin, eat my old king!
...
The world never turns for one person, it has always been the case.
After the brief buzz surrounding the Portland-Nets trade information, the summer trading market will see new trade updates every day for the rest of the day.
Take, for example, the high-profile defending champion Miami Heat.
On the same day, the defending champion had signed 2.03m small forward Eric Griffin.
It is reported that this is a non-guaranteed training camp contract, which means that Griffin will participate in the training camp before the start of the new season of the Heat...
After all, this Griffin is not the Griffin of the Clippers. According to "Miami Sun Sentinel" reporter Ira Vindman broke the news on her personal Twitter:
There are various indications that after the training camp, the Heat are likely to devolve Griffin to the G League, so that once the team encounters injuries in the new season, Griffin can become a good choice.
One thing to say, Griffin's strength in general can only be called average. The reason why the outside world has paid so much attention is just because the team that signed him is called the Miami Heat.
In the past two years, the Heat have successfully won the championship and achieved two consecutive championship teams. They are the only two consecutive championship teams since the 21st century, second only to the Los Angeles Lakers, the dynasty team led by the OK combination at the beginning of the century.
A dynasty!
Looking at the history of the NBA, there have only been three major dynasties: the Celtics, the Scarlet Bulls, and the Purple and Gold at the beginning of the century.
As for the so-called "singular-year dynasty" of the Spurs in the mouths of many fans, it is nothing but an alternative praise. Even Tim Duncan himself dare not claim that he has established a dynasty team.
Because the hard indicators of the dynasty are there: you must beat all opponents for three consecutive years to win the O'Brien Cup!
Not even a year in between.
From the title of "Chosen Son" who stepped into the league, everyone knows that James has only one purpose in entering the league, and that is to conquer.
Now that the Heat have conquered the active league under his leadership, what the Heat will challenge next are the three dynasties standing at the top of the NBA pyramid.
As long as they win the championship in the 2013-2014 season, the Heat can also become the fourth dynasty team in history, and for James as the core, the significance is equally significant.
This symbolizes that he is one step closer to the position of God.
It is precisely because of this that every move of the Heat has drawn the hearts of countless fans and management of many teams.
"3" is a magical number in the land of Milician, and it is done three times in a row, which represents the complete **** of a certain field.
No team wants to see the Heat build a dynasty successfully. Once successful, it will undoubtedly admit its weakness in disguise.
No one will take the initiative to admit their weakness, which is an instinctive response from human nature.
Therefore, the Heat's reinforcement plan for the third year is destined to be difficult. Whenever the Heat's management has a little trouble, other teams will obstruct it either explicitly or implicitly.
Such a situation, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls have both experienced, but in the end they both overcame all kinds of difficulties and successfully established a dynasty.
That's why dynasty teams are so rare, and once a dynasty is established, the bonus to a player's historical status is so great...
Especially for the bonuses for the core players of the team!
Why every time we talk about the first center in history, Shaquille O'Neal can't get around the big shark.
Because he was the absolute core of a dynasty team, he was qualified enough to challenge every super center in history...except Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Because they were from the same team, the most glorious moments of their careers were spent in the Lakers, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was still a senior, so O'Neal always seemed slightly weaker when compared with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's position at center is so unique.
When comparing with other teams, others will first take the all-time best center and O'Neal ratio of other teams.
Compare the two.
At first glance, good guy, even O'Neal can't compare, how can he compare with O'Neal's predecessor, Tiangou!
When comparing the same pair, Jabbar naturally gained some points because of his senior status...
Put it this way.
If Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and O'Neal's playing years were interchanged, and their achievements were the same, and the two were compared, there will definitely be people who think that O'Neal is stronger.
And such people are by no means rare in the fan base.
Or maybe the two of them are not at all the achievements they have made in the Lakers, but are separate. When comparing any two teams in the NBA, no one will think that O'Neal will earn half more than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
At least fans who support the view that "O'Neal is the first center in history" will not be as weak as when compared with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but should be a situation of competition in the chamber.
It can be seen that the importance of the identity of the core players of the dynasty.
As we all know, a basketball game has a total of 5 positions.
As far as this stage is concerned, among the five positions, the first person in history of point guard (organizational) guard, shooting guard and power forward has been unanimously recognized by the media management and fans.
Magician ~ Erwin Johnson, basketball **** ~ Michael Jordan, and the holy city's forever No. 21 rookie ~ Tim Duncan.
There are too many big players in history to compete for the center position. After all, half of the top picks in the NBA draft are centers. It can be seen that the center is a unique position in the basketball world.
At the same time, it also reflects that there are too many fairy players in the center position.
On the contrary, it is the three-position small forward who is currently showing a three-legged situation.
who?
The first push must be the former Celtics legend, the king of the king, the big bird ~ Larry Bird.
Followed by the former Bulls B&B, Batman ~ Scottie Pippen.
Finally, the league's first active player, the little emperor ~ LeBron James.
If you have to divide it into first, second, and third, the most recognized rankings are Larry Bird, LeBron James, and Scottie Pippen.
While Pippen was second only to Jordan in the Bulls' two dynasties, the position of the second child was too embarrassing.
It can be said that the success is also Jordan, and the defeat is also Jordan.
Then there's that, considering that James has won two consecutive championships at just 28 years old, plus all the new records in NBA history are his...before it was a Los Angeles old blacksmith.
Therefore, it is almost a certainty that James surpasses Pippen without too much accident.
Byrd is different.
It's too hard to force the king!
It belongs to the type of what you want.
In his rookie season, he beat Magic Johnson, was elected Rookie of the Year, and was among the best first team...
Of course, Magic made a rookie season FMVP in the playoffs and successfully pulled back a city.
By the second grade, Bird not only won the All-Star Game MVP, but in the playoffs, when the Celtics were behind 1:3, relying on their heroic performance, the Celtics scored 2 points, 2 points, 1 point risk and risk advantage to win three consecutive games to advance to the finals.
Facing Mosaic in the finals, Bird helped the Celtics win the championship again after 6 years.
After the second grade, he won two championships in a row.
By 1992, Bird was one of five starters representing the "Dream Team" to win the Barcelona Olympic gold...
For the first, people always have special feelings in it.
James is about to enter the league for ten years, and if he compares with Bird across history, it is more than the first ten years of their careers...
In a word, the first ten years of Bird's career are indeed more magical than the first ten years of James's career, and the achievements are slightly stronger.
At present, in the battle for the first player in the NBA at the small forward position, the two generally show an indistinguishable trend.
If you really want to choose a small forward as the first in history, more people may still be willing to vote for Larry Bird.
James is particularly aware of this.
Therefore, he has always avoided talking about the ownership of the "first small forward in history" that has been hotly debated by the outside world.
He prefers to prove himself with actions.
How to act?
Simple.
Win this year's championship and achieve a three-peat dynasty!
At that time, he can justifiably ascend to the position of the first small forward in history, and only then will he be qualified to compare with the first players in history in other positions.
Especially Michael Jordan, the all-time leader in scoring position.
Can't surpass Larry Bird and become the number one small forward. What does he use to make a preliminary comparison with Jordan?
By the same token, Bird must be aware of the current situation.
Of course, he didn't want to give up his position as the No. 1 small forward in history, which he had held firmly. This would seriously affect the evaluation of his historical status.
For example, NBA legend "Big O" Robertson has done a good job in the position of the three-point king in history, and he is the only player in history to achieve a season triple-double.
Therefore, every time we talk about the first point guard in history, Big O is always the strongest opponent of Magician.
After all, Big O also has the top hard honor of MVP in the regular season, plus the halo of the "three-double king of history", it is inevitable that some fans will favor him, even if he can't compare with Magician, he can barely touch him.
Until later, a tortoise crawled out of the sewer, completely pulling the myth of the big O's three pairs from the altar, and even made the once unreachable word "three pairs" into a derogatory term.
It's outrageous!
It is estimated that Big O is the one who hates the Turtle the most.
is not that right?
In 2020, before Wang Zelin's rebirth, when ~www.mtlnovel.com~ selected the TOP5 list of the best point guards in history, he could no longer find the position of the big O. Even in the top 10, the big O was at the bottom.
After all, most people used to be regarded as the second or third point guard in history by most people, and they could also touch the magician.
If you touch it now, my good fellow, it's just touching porcelain!
Therefore, Bird is also secretly witnessing all this.
If James finally wins the championship, as a senior, no matter how reluctant he is, he will have to stand up and pinch his nose to admit his identity as the number one small forward in history.
But if James doesn't win the championship...
Ha ha!
Until then it will be wonderful.
Don't forget, this guy is a super trash talker in history, and he has left countless famous scenes.
Do you really think that the dignified generation forced the king to be a good-tempered person?
