The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 267 Dumas Was Fired

"Dirk, why do you look depressed?"

Li Xun asked the truth knowingly.

Nowitzki looked helpless, sighed and said: "Li, I am not young anymore."

"Only God knows if I will get injured in the next game and say goodbye to the game forever."

"And I can clearly feel that my state is declining."

"Li, do you think I still have hope of winning the championship in my career?"

After hearing this, Li Xun suddenly smiled wryly.

Of course he knew the answer to this question, but this answer was too cruel for Nowitzki.

Nowitzki should have no chance of winning the championship.

You must know that the Mavericks' lineup this year, they actually only played the seventh record in the Western Conference, with a record of 36 wins and 30 losses, and a winning percentage of less than 55%.

Although Rick Carlisle's coaching ability is indeed strong, it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.

The players in the team are old and weak, and it is actually not bad to be able to make the playoffs.

In terms of lineup changes, it's actually not too big. Center Chandler left the team, but there was another Carter on the Mavericks side.

It doesn't look like it's weakened from last season.

actually not.

Today's Carter is no longer what it used to be.

When Li Xun first entered the league, Carter was at the tail end of his career peak.

Now that he is so old, he can basically maintain an average of around 10 points per game.

The value of Chandler is definitely much higher than that of Carter at present.

This is just a weakening of the lineup. The key is that the players are one year older. It is very likely that last season they still had [-]% of their peak combat power, but now they are only [-]%.

"Who knows what will happen next?"

"And I don't think you are old. You are still in good shape, and you can average 20+ per game casually."

Li Xun could only comfort Nuo Tianwang in this way.

Speaking of which, Li Xun actually feels very ashamed, because his arrival has greatly changed the career trajectory of many players.

Nuo Tianwang is one of them.

Li Xun has won two championships so far, one was won by Kobe, and the other was won by Kobe.

Kobe has many championships, but the lack of this one has little impact.

And Nuo Tianwang's career was just such a bare championship, and Li Xun snatched it away in the end.

What is certain is that without this championship ring, Nuo Tianwang's historical status will be greatly reduced.

Under normal circumstances, the historical ranking of the power forward position of the champion Nuo Tianwang can enter the top five.

Duncan is undoubtedly the number one power forward in history, the next two or three places will be occupied by the two championshipless Barkley and Malone, and Nowitzki and Garnett will be ranked fourth and fifth.

The rankings may be different, but in most rankings, the top five forwards in history are these five people.

Sometimes, McHale will also enter the top five, squeezing Garnett or Nowitzki to sixth.

These rankings are completely different from the beholder, the wise see wisdom, and the public is right and the woman is right.

But now that Nuo Tianwang lacks a championship and FMVP, the ranking will be poor, and he may not even be able to make it into the top ten.

You must know that the power forward position is also full of talents.

Not only Nuo Tianwang, but also many players lost the honor that should belong to them.

Nuo Tianwang is actually not the one who suffers the most, at least he still has a historical status.

And Rose is the worst one. The regular season MVP was snatched away by Li Xun. If he is still injured a day later, his historical status will not be so high.

"Dudududu!"

The game on the field begins.

Li Xun looked intently at the Mavericks lineup.

There is not much change from last season, except that some veterans who played the starters last season, many of them are on the bench this season.

Starting lineup: Brandon Hayward, Nowitzki, Marion, Delonte West and Kidd.

Cuban signed Delonte again, which Li Xun never expected.

Under normal circumstances, Cuban signed Delonte, in fact, the main purpose is to disgust James.

In the finals of James, he imitated Dirk Nowitzki's cough and mocked Uranus for pretending to be sick. How could Cuban tolerate this.

So after the Mavericks won the championship, Cuban signed Delonti, who was no one wanted, next season.

If you don't say that Cuban treats his players, it is really righteous enough, he can be regarded as Li Xun among the bosses in a sense.

It's just that he can't protect players on the court like Li Xun, so he can only make small moves off the court.

Now the Heat didn't make the playoffs at all, so the cough incident didn't happen.

This is what Li Xun doesn't understand. Under such circumstances, Cuban actually went to sign Delonte.

Howard grabbed the jump ball and the Pistons started to attack.

When the ball reached the frontcourt, Li Xun quickly cut to the basket, received a pass from Curry, and then completed a dunk.

Generally speaking, Li Xun has fewer dunks.

But it was indeed an excellent dunk opportunity just now. Hayward was stuck behind Howard, and the basket was almost empty.

Howard bullied these weak center forwards, and he was really pinching them with his hands.

Turn around, the Mavericks' offensive bout.

Nowitzki took the knife, and Li Xun tried his best to defend, but it seemed that he still failed to interfere with Nowitzki's Golden Rooster independence.

It's a pity that the goal was not scored.

The rebound was grabbed by Howard.

Nuo Tianwang looked at Li Xun's face full of envy, he was so envious of Li Xun having a teammate like Warcraft.

One of the important reasons why the Mavericks were so good last season is because they have Chandler, a center who can grab rebounds and defend, under the basket.

And Howard is much better than Chandler in this regard.

Nuo Tianwang thought to himself that if the Mavericks can introduce Howard this season, he is really sure to break the wrist with Li Xun's Pistons.

It's a pity that if there is no if, Howard is now in the pocket of the Pistons.

The Mavericks lost Howard and became weaker.

Although the Pistons lacked Yao Ming, but gained Howard, they were still unmatched.

It may even become stronger. After all, the Pistons have no shortage of offensive firepower, and Howard's rebounding and defense are better than Yao Ming.

Under the ebb and flow, the gap between the Mavericks and the Pistons has become wider and wider.

After a few minutes of playing, the Mavericks called a timeout directly.

Carlisle replaced three-eight pitchers Marion and Delonte, and brought Carter and Terry on the bench.

After seeing Li Xun again, Carter could only smile wryly.

All he can think about now is regret.

I knew that before being traded to the Magic, I should have discussed with Li Xun earlier and asked the Pistons to buy me.

If I really went to the Pistons by myself, I am afraid that I also have two championship rings in my hands now?
Or his skin is too thin.

It's too late to say anything now.

Two or three years ago, he was at least at the level of a first-line shooting guard in the league, averaging 20 points per game with good efficiency.

Things are completely different now.

He is now playing as a substitute for Delonte. What reason does the Pistons have to sign him?

Li Xun played the first three quarters, and when the game entered garbage time, he went off the court directly.

Now Li Xun doesn't care much about statistics at all, he just wants to quickly lead the Pistons to win this year's championship and establish his own dynasty.

Clay and Leonard performed mediocrely tonight. Although their defensive performance was good, their offensive efficiency was a bit poor.

On the contrary, Vucevic played his own style tonight.

Especially when Li Xun and Howard are off the field, he and Cousins, who have almost the same style of play, have directly become the left and right guards of the Pistons' basket.

Mavericks fans are getting more and more uncomfortable watching this game.

Although the new season has not been played for a long time, there is not much to see.

But just looking at the performance of the Mavericks tonight, let alone the starting five generals against the Pistons, they seem to be unable to beat even a half-substitute lineup.

Cousins ​​and Vucevic have completely blown up the Mavericks' inside line.

After the game, Li Xun went to the field to shake hands with the Mavericks and the veterans.

The three major illusions in Texas, the Spurs are old, the Rockets are strong, and the Mavericks are weak.

I don't know if the Mavericks are weak or not, but they are really old.

Too old to be outrageous.

The core players in the team are all players from the last century, Dirk Nowitzki, Terry, Marion, Carter, Kidd and so on.

Even Odom came to the Mavericks this season.

Especially Kidd, this old monster entered the league in 94, and he has played for 18 seasons now.

He can still start, which is actually a miracle in itself.

There are not many other things in this Mavericks, but there are many old monsters.

Kidd has 19 years in his career, Terry has 19 years, Nowitzki has 21 years, Carter is a good guy, 22 years!
The average player can have a career of 15 years, which is already considered a long career.

As for Mavericks, one after another, the old monsters are all the longest-lived ones that can be ranked in history.

"Hey, Lee."

"You little guy, I doubt whether you are an alien or not."

"To be able to be so versatile, I really doubt that there is nothing you can't do on the court."

After the game, the old demon Kidd praised Li Xun.

李勋今晚打了25分钟，入账了17分16篮板15助攻3抢断3盖帽，数据无比奢华。

It can be said that with regard to Li Xun's 25-minute data tonight, many stars may not be able to play it in their lifetime.

Because Westbrook has not risen yet, Kidd is still the active triple-double king of the league today.

But everyone knew that this title would be taken away by Li Xun sooner or later.

Even Li Xun is now less than ten games away from Kidd's triple-double.

Beyond Kidd is only a matter of time.

Kidd has recorded 107 triple-doubles in his career.

"Old man, I will be proud if you praise me so much."

Li Xun greeted with a smile.

"Hey, it's a pity that we old guys got together for the championship, but there is still no hope of winning the championship."

"It can only be blamed for our bad luck. We met a monster like you."

Carter also leaned over and said bitterly.

This remark made some Mavericks veterans at the scene deeply agree.

Among the old monsters in the Mavericks, none of them has ever won a championship.

It is conceivable that if there is no accident, several of them will end their careers with a very regrettable ending.

Li Xun was a little ashamed for what he said.

"If you want to win the championship, our Pistons welcome you at any time."

"As long as you are willing to come, we open the door at any time."

Li Xun patted his chest and promised.

The salaries of these veterans are not high, and it is actually not difficult at all to sign a contract with the Pistons.

After all, it was originally a list of 15 people.

Many veterans burst into laughter, "There are five of us here!"

"You are alone."

"Why don't you come to our Mavericks, it's so good, the five of us don't have to change teams."

"The most experienced combination of veterans in the league is here to assist you, what do you think?"

Marion, Terry, Kidd, Carter and Nuo Tianwang, five old men, all looked at Li Xun with hopeful eyes.

This is just a joke.

But who wouldn't want it to come true?

If Li Xun really joins the Mavericks, these veterans will definitely have a chance to make up for their regrets.

You must know that Li Xun's strength is not only his dominance.

He also has his off-court trading operation ability, which can bring a team back to life.

Could the Pistons have been better off than the Mavericks are now?They are also facing the problem of a very aging team, which is exactly the same as the situation of the Mavericks.

As a result, with the help of Li Xun, they reached the finals in the first season, and won the championship directly in the second season!

Now it has maintained its dominance, and it seems that it is about to build a dynasty.

Li Xun was speechless and could only smile dryly and wave his hands.

I am still very happy in the Pistons, and it is really impossible to leave.

Leading a group of players back to the locker room, the players are in a very good mood.

The Mavericks were their opponents in the finals last season. Their easy victory tonight shows that their Pistons still have a great chance of winning the championship this year.

Thinking of winning the championship this year, some newcomers' hearts began to beat faster.

Of course, Li Xun is not as hopeless as those rookies. In his opinion, it is normal to win the championship this season.

With such a lineup in hand, if he couldn't win the championship, he might as well jump into the river and kill himself.

"Ding ding ding."

The phone rang, reminding Li Xun that he had received a new message.

"Dear Li, in the days to come, I wish you continued success and becoming a GOAT."

The sender is Dumas.

Li Xun was stunned.

"Guys, is this April Fool's Day? Or something special?"

The generals shook their heads, April Fool's Day is still more than two months away.

Today is not a special holiday. If it is really special, it can only be the seventh anniversary of Curry and Ayesha's acquaintance.

Li Xun was even more dazed.

What kind of crazy has Dumas gone, and he's posting such a nasty thing.

When he was wondering, the cell phones of Tang Shuai and several players also rang and received text messages.

After reading the text message, Tang Shuai's expression changed suddenly.

"God!"

"What happened? Mr. Dumas is fired!"

Curry exclaimed.

Li Xun was shocked, Dumas was fired?
This is definitely the craziest news he has heard this season, even the craziest news he has heard since time travel.

And the new stupid boss, Gels, was stupid enough to fire Dumas?

How dare he? !
