NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 1183 Gua retired, Paul retired

Next, the coach of the Kings and several key players attended the press conference in turn.

Tonight, the team made a unified discussion and left respect to these veterans.

Therefore, these veterans all played in the last few games.

The penultimate third appearance is Gua Ge Anthony.

He held the golden O'Brien Cup in his arms.

After arriving at the venue, he put the O'Brien Cup on the table next to him.

Then he said to the reporters: "Okay, you can take pictures. This picture is very rare for me."

As he spoke, he laughed at himself.

The reporters also laughed, but at the same time, there was a hint of sadness in their hearts.

But Gua Ge didn't seem to realize it.

He gagged and answered the reporters' questions.

Finally, after 10 minutes, the reporters finished asking questions.

Brother Gua glanced at the entire venue.

Ask these reporters: "Anyone else have any questions?"

The reporters shook their heads one after another, indicating that they had finished their questions.

Gua nodded, and then his face became serious:
"After the question is over, I will announce something: I hereby announce that tonight, now, I, Carmelo Anthony...retire."

In an instant, the scene was silent.

All the reporters were dumbfounded.

No reporter had received the news that Gua Ge was going to retire before.

It is even more impossible to think that Gua Ge will retire on the night of winning the finals.

None of the reporters responded.

After Gua Ge burst out such a big melon, he glanced at the reporters with a smile.

Then he stood up, holding the O'Brien Cup in his arms, turned and left from the side.

When he left, his footsteps were not as heavy as he had imagined, but rather brisk.

After so many years, his dream has finally come true, and his burden can finally be let go.

He can let go of everything here and start a new life.

Although there is some reluctance, but more is the expectation of a new life.

but.

It's not just these reporters who didn't respond.

All the fans watching the press conference did not react.

Because there was no news before that Gua Ge would retire.

Although some people think that Gua Ge may not play this year after playing, after all, he is too old and his competitive state is far from his peak.

If he wins the championship, his career will be considered complete and he can retire without regret.

But that's just speculation after all, there is no news that Gua Ge will retire.

And generally a star like Gua Ge will hold a special press conference to announce his retirement when he retires.

No one would be hasty enough to announce this at the post-match press conference after winning the championship.

It all came so suddenly.

All the Kings players were completely unresponsive.

Gua returned to the locker room holding the O'Brien Cup.

The dressing room still smelled of rich champagne and cigars.

But it was completely opposite to the passion and excitement of his teammates when he left. At this moment, all the teammates were quiet, and they all fixedly stared at Gua Ge.

Gua had a relaxed smile on his face:
"So tonight is the last game I will fight with you all. Although I am reluctant to leave you all, although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that I am old and it is time to leave."

All the players still stared at Guage.

They don't seem to know how to deal with this sudden situation.

Even the head coach D'Antoni didn't know what to say for a while.

Wang Yi was the first to stand up:
"Brother Gua, I will support whatever decision you make. In short, whether you still play or not? No matter where you go, we are still brothers."

James also came over and patted Gua Ge on the shoulder:

"Melon, although you are very reluctant, we respect your decision."

The rest of the teammates also expressed their reluctance to Gua Ge.

Paul stepped forward and hugged Gua Ge: "You guys are really unexpected. But it's really cool to retire on the night of the championship."

Anthony smiled: "Then you are cool too?"

Paul smiled and shook his head: "Are you kidding me? I can still play. I'm still the god of point guards."

Xiao Qiao shook her head: "Tonight is our championship night, don't make it so sad. Get up, get up, and talk about other things later."

Under his instigation, the players were a little depressed just now, but now they all rose again.

The fight started again in the locker room.

A piece of chicken flying dog jumping.

Now it's Paul's turn to attend the press conference.

He also entered the venue holding the O'Brien Cup.

He still answered all the reporters' questions.

Some reporters think that Paul and Anthony are about the same age, and Paul's state in this year's playoffs has declined sharply.

So I asked: "Chris, do you think you can still fight?"

"of course."

Without hesitation, Paul gave him an affirmative answer:

"Of course I can still play. Although I also know that my state in this year's playoffs is mediocre, as you all know, my advantage is not in scoring, but in controlling the rhythm of the court. In this regard, I am still the top player in the league. .Although there are a lot of mistakes, but the mistakes are controllable. Of course I can still play."

The reporters nodded after hearing the words.

Paul's control of the situation and rhythm on the court, his super high ball quotient, and 20 years of experience are extremely valuable assets.

Such a veteran, those teams have to rush for it.

So the fans of the Kings are also relieved, it seems that Paul will not retire.

When the reporters finished asking questions, Paul glanced at everyone and said:
"Your questions are all over, so I will also announce something: Tonight, now, I, Chris Paul...retire."

"..."

The entire press conference site was once again silent.

This time, the reporters were stunned longer than before.

After all, people thought of the possibility of Anthony retiring just now.

But now Paul has just promised that he can still play.

and.

Just now a 75th superstar in history retired, and now another 10th superstar is retiring in less than 75 minutes.

Is it so embarrassing to retire now?
"But Chris, you just said you could still fight."

Paul shook his head and answered the reporter's question with a smile:

"Being able to play does not mean I want to play. I am old and tired of endless road trips and daily training. I also want to live a normal life. I also want to sleep until I wake up naturally in the morning. I also want to go to the Looking at the beautiful scenery in the world, I also want to spend more time with my family and friends."

"Originally, I was thinking about holding a press conference to announce my retirement after the championship parade. But just now, that guy Mellon retired on the night of the championship, which seems to be a cool thing. So I just won the championship It's really cool to retire at night."

After finishing speaking, Paul didn't say anything more, turned around and left the venue holding the O'Brien Cup.
