The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 244 Abducting a Howard
In the following game time, because many people wanted to please Li Xun and get some benefits from Li Xun.

So Curry became a sweet potato and got almost all the ball rights on the court.

And Curry is also up to date tonight, feeling hot from beginning to end.

After Li Xun came on the field, in addition to helping Curry score, he has been using his own defense to limit Kobe and Durant's scoring.

When the game was over, the Eastern Conference won the game again.

Curry scored 49 points and won the All-Star MVP without any controversy.

Li Xun is extremely satisfied, this MVP can be abandoned by himself, but you cannot snatch it.

"Thank you, boss."

Curry hugged Li Xun, unable to express his gratitude.

Since entering the league, Li Xun has taken good care of himself, treating himself as his family in every aspect.

Now that he has given up this gold-rich All-Star MVP to himself, Curry is very glad that he can become Li Xun's teammate.

Sometimes he wonders what the scene would be like now if he hadn't joined the Pistons.

It is possible to mix into the team's second or third position in a weak team, and score seventeen or eight points in each game.

Career isn't too bad, but nothing glamorous either.

What Curry thinks is actually right. If he still joins the Warriors now, his current career is indeed relatively mediocre.

"Why do you say thank you? I am your leader, so of course I have to take care of you."

"Go find Ayesha, I see she has been waiting for you on the sidelines."

Li Xun pointed to Curry's fiancee on the sidelines and said.

According to Li Xun's aesthetics, Ayesha's appearance is really indescribable, but beauty is in the eyes of beholders. Maybe in Curry's eyes, Ayesha is the most beautiful girl.

"Li, I have to hurry up and talk to the team about the trade."

"I won't invite you to dinner this time. Next time I wait for you to come to Chicago, I will definitely treat you."

Rose has no intention of staying in New York now. He wants to return to Chicago immediately and tell the team management the good news.

Once Pekovic can be traded, the Bulls, who are sitting on the twin towers, are really likely to win the top three records in the Eastern Conference this year.

Although there is little hope of winning the championship, there is only one championship every year, and we can't stop strengthening just because we can't win the championship.

After Ross left, Bosh immediately joined him.

Bosh accepted Li Xun's favor. If Li Xun hadn't promised last season, Jordan would never have been sold to the Raptors anyway.

Now relying on Bosh Jordan's twin-tower lineup, the Raptors have finished fifth in the Eastern Conference.

This is far better than before. You must know that the Raptors before, it was difficult for them to even make the playoffs.

"Lee, help me, we really need a perimeter player."

Li Xun shook his head and smiled wryly, "Chris, it's not that I don't want to help you."

"Is it tap water for you to be a good player? If you want it, you can have it?"

If the Raptors lack a point guard, then Li Xun can think of a way.

But the Raptors now have Calderon, and his immediate combat power is stronger than Dragic.

Bosh shrugged with a wry smile. He didn't expect much.

As Li Xun said, good players are not so easy to find.

He is quite satisfied with the current situation of the Raptors.

Being able to finish fifth in such a harsh environment in the Eastern Conference is actually enough to make Bosh proud.

Because the current top three Pistons, Heat and Knicks are all in special situations.

Needless to say, the Pistons are a powerful defending champion and an absolutely invincible division.

Both the Heat and the Knicks have achieved their current record after strong signings. The Raptors are now ranked fifth, so there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

At least no one said that he is useless, and he can lead the team to the playoffs, so what bicycle is needed.

As soon as Bosh left, Howard ran over again, licking his face.

"Dude, you really don't think of me as God. I really don't have that strong ability to recommend players to you."

Li Xun said angrily.

As a result, Howard quickly shook his head, "Li, who do you think I am?"

"Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of small things?"

"I don't want you to recommend players."

Howard said sternly, with a very serious expression.

This made Li Xun feel strange. Howard, who has never been serious, took the wrong medicine today?

"Dude, what the hell are you trying to do?"

Li Xun asked curiously.

"Li, Yao's contract ends after this season."

"I see that you took two rookie insiders in the draft. You must be worried about the strength of the insiders after Yao Ming leaves."

"How about this, or you will trade me to the Pistons next season."

"How about it?"

Howard spoke as if he was not joking at all.

Li Xun almost vomited blood, this was the first time he had seen such a situation.

There is actually a team leader who actively wants to join the enemy?
In the previous two seasons, the Magic and the Pistons played in the Eastern Conference finals. There is nothing wrong with saying that these two teams are enemies.

Of course, the team is the enemy, and the relationship between Li Xun and Howard has always been very good.

Hearing Howard's words, Li Xun thought of a sentence now.

Kennedy is in a convertible, and his brain is wide open!

Howard is really brainstorming. If he joins the Pistons, it is actually feasible.

Yao Ming played very few games this season, and Li Xun can also feel that Yao Ming has the intention of retiring from the usual chats.

There are many injuries on my body, and as I get older, the injuries will only increase.

Now Yao Ming has obtained all kinds of honors. If he wins the championship again this year, he will have more championships than most centers.

The number of championships in the big dream is only two.

Of course, this does not mean that Yao Ming won the two championships, so he can compete with Dameng.

However, with two championships in hand, plus various All-Star starters, the best team and other honors, Yao Ming really has a chance to win the top ten centers in NBA history.

If you want to be more secure, if Yao Ming wins the FMVP this year, he will be in the top ten.

The whole career can be regarded as complete.

In addition, Yao Ming's daughter was born, and he also wanted to spend more time with his family.

He has already earned enough money, and his salary income is a small part of his total income. The real big part is the income from various endorsements.

And now he has also bought the Shanghai Sharks of the CBA, bringing his wife and children back to China to be the boss, that would be a comfort.

Li Xun knew what Yao Ming meant, so he didn't try to dissuade him.

After all, Yao Ming now has a successful career compared to normal circumstances.

It's just that Yao Ming was worried that his retirement would prevent Li Xun from establishing a dynasty, so he never made it clear.

Now if Howard joins forces with Li Xun, the dynasty will definitely be established.

Don't think Howard can't handle Yao Ming, but when he cleans up other centers in the league, the effect may be better than Yao Ming.

The most important thing is that under normal circumstances, Howard actually left the Magic at the end of the next season.

It is not too difficult to leave the Magic one season ahead of schedule.

At most, it is to give the Magic a little more leverage.

"This……"

"It can be considered."

Li Xun nodded and began to think.

Howard's face was ecstatic, seeing Li Xun's meaning, is there something wrong with this matter?
He doesn't really have any loyalty to the Magic.

It is also strange to say that the Magic produces top centers, but these top centers have no loyalty to the Magic.

As soon as you get the chance, run away immediately.

The last one to run was O'Neill.

In Howard's view, the benefits of joining the Pistons are simply countless.

The most important thing is that he can win the championship.

And with Li Xun as a point forward, he feels that his offensive data will become better.

In the past two years, because Turkoglu was sold, the Magic's scoring has declined significantly.

He'd love to be teamed up with a top point forward.

The combination of Warcraft and top point guards is not effective. He is not a pure pie-eating center, mainly because he is too short, and the point guards pass him high lobs, and sometimes he can't catch them.

And if it's a point forward, how can he not catch the ball if he comes to the basket to pass the ball from time to time?

"Lee, that's a deal."

"I'm waiting for your good news."

"And I will try my best to talk to the Magic management to prevent you from bleeding."

Howard hadn't joined the Pistons yet, so he immediately started thinking about the Pistons.

Li Xun spread his hands and gave the magic more chips, but it didn't matter.

Because the quality of the next season's draft is very high, and now Li Xun has started to accumulate draft picks, so he is not worried about the Magic Lions opening their mouths.

After watching Howard leave, Li Xun couldn't laugh or cry.

It took no effort to snatch Howard over.

Howard is now in his prime.

Howard in the past two years was a man who claimed to be able to replace James alone, but now he is going to become Li Xun's teammate.

It may also be the current harsh environment in the east that gave Howard this idea.

The Heat and the Knicks are too strong together, and there is an insurmountable mountain of the Pistons, which has caused Howard to no longer have any expectations for leading the Magic to win the championship.

You must know that they are only sixth in the Eastern Conference this season, not as good as the Raptors' record.

That being the case, it is better to run away with a bucket and join a team that can win the championship.

At present, in his opinion, the hopefuls to win the championship are the Pistons and the Lakers.

This is why he normally runs to the Lakers.

The Lakers have the hope of winning the championship, but the hope is slim. Since they are going to run away, of course they must choose a team with greater confidence in winning the championship.

There is no doubt that the Pistons are a better choice.

And in Howard's view, Li Xun is far easier to get along with than Kobe.

After I went to the Lakers, I might have to scold Kobe.

When it comes to the Pistons, Li Xun has always had a good reputation among his teammates. He has never heard of him scolding his teammates for losing.

……

After Li Xun returned to Detroit, he told Dumas about it.

In the end, Dumas was also ecstatic. In his opinion, isn't this just pie in the sky?
"Li, you are really a lucky general of our Pistons."

"I went out to participate in the All-Star Weekend, and unexpectedly brought back a super center."

"I'm really looking forward to the scene where Yao and Howard team up."

"With you, the three of you can blow up all the insiders in the league."

"No, it's all the insiders in the universe. There has never been such a luxurious insider lineup in NBA history."

Dumars obviously didn't think about Howard's cap space.

Howard wants to come to the Pistons, but the premise is that Yao Ming's contract ends, so that the Pistons have salary space to sign Howard.

So in theory, it is impossible for Howard to team up with Yao Ming.

Unless Yao Ming is willing to take a substantial salary cut and stay with the Pistons.

Even if Yao Ming is willing, Li Xun is not.

At this age, I have physical injuries, so why cut my salary and stay, it is better to go back to support the elderly.

A week later, the door to the trading market was closed, and the season was completely declared to be coming to an end.

Two-thirds of the season has been played, but the performance of this year's rookies still cannot satisfy Li Xun.

Cousins ​​is now gradually entering the state, and his performance is not bad.

It can only be regarded as improvised, and there is a big gap with what Li Xun imagined.

As for Bai Bian, Li Xun was very dissatisfied with his performance.

Baibian's performance now fully fits his status as the bottom pick in the first round.

But this is definitely not the scene Li Xun wants to see. If it just fits the status of the bottom show, it is impossible for Li Xun to choose Baibian in the first place.

For the remaining one-third of the schedule, Li Xun decided to practice the white side.

Now the Pistons have only four insiders if Li Xun is not counted.

They are Yao Ming, Rasheed, Cousins ​​and Baibian.

Yao Ming and Rashid, no one knows whether they will be injured or unable to play in the next game.

If the two veterans are unable to play in the playoffs and the finals, then it is definitely impossible to count on the current Baibian to play the starting center.

Now Li Xun's plan is to find a soft persimmon, let Bai Bian play a good game, get a super stat, and improve his self-confidence.

Self-confidence has improved, and if the combat power has improved, then everything is easy to say.

If he still looks half-dead, then Li Xun has no choice but to send him to play in the CBA.

It just happened to be sent to Yao Ming's team, the Sharks in Shanghai, to practice well.

Since we are looking for soft persimmons, the softest persimmons in the league today are undoubtedly the Cavaliers.

The Raptors were soft before, but now that Jordan has gone, their internal strength has increased tremendously.

Li Xun didn't expect Bai Bian to put up any decent numbers in Jordan's hands.

Now Jordan is getting better and better. If Yao Ming and Howard are the top two centers in the league, Jordan is actually the third center in the league.

Now the Raptors are definitely not soft persimmons.

The Cavaliers are really soft persimmons.

Big Z is gone, O'Neal also ran to join Green Kai, and now the Cavaliers still have Varejao as a center and JJ Hickson as a power forward.

However, Varejao was still injured, and he was declared out for the season in the first half of the season.

It is equivalent to saying that the Cavaliers don't even have a serious center now, how can there be such a soft persimmon in the world.

Just a week later, the Pistons will play against the Cavaliers, and Li Xun is ready.

In any case, this game had to bring about a qualitative change for Baibian.
