After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 309 308: An era is over, but my era will never end!

"You shaved your beard anyway, why do you look decadent?"

Lima cleaned up at Shay's house and complained about Shay's growing beard.

Shay just smiled: "What decadence? Don't you think I'm more attractive with a beard when I get older?"

"You are not old! Here, I bought you a new electric shaver."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a good day? Suddenly gave me a gift."

"Congratulations on my being signed by Victoria's Secret!" Lima said, happily leaning in front of Shay, "If you hadn't chosen me to shoot commercials back then, I don't know where I'm hanging out now, so thank you very much."

"Congratulations, I heard that Ambrosio and Bundchen have also been signed, right?"

"Hmph, you only care about them! Let's go, I'll help you to stroll around the yard!"

"Do you really think I'm disabled? I can walk, but I can't play basketball yet. I don't need support." Shea said, stood up and walked out.

Lima looked contemptuous: "Yes, yes, a few days ago someone was photographed dating Batgirl, it seems that you are indeed cured! What ugly sweetheart, bah, I'm not tired of you!"

"Ah, don't read those gossip tabloids! Besides, Silverstone and I just had a simple night, ah no.

It's just a simple friendship, discussing her mental journey of playing Batgirl, nothing. "

Although he was complaining about Shay, Lima took Shay's arm and walked into the huge yard.

Shay's ankle still feels a little stiff when walking.

But Shay is recovering extremely well, according to Vitti.

From mid-March to early April, it will definitely come back at 100%.

A 100% state means that Xie Yi will not feel any discomfort, will not be affected in any way, and can play happily.

Walking into the yard, Shay looked at the gloomy sky in January and sighed.

Lima immediately asked with concern: "What's the matter? Sigh. But then again, those bullshit rules that restrict you are really enough!"

Lima has also been paying attention to basketball news recently. Since the labor negotiations were successfully concluded on January 1, various new regulations have also been officially released.

And these new regulations, in the words of the Chinese media: extremely targeted!
First of all, although the league retains a soft salary cap, as previously revealed, it is not possible to jump out of the contract first and then take the risk of renewing the contract.If you want to do this, you have to retain the salary space for the renewal of Bird's right.

In other words, even if Shay jumps out of the contract, the Lakers have to be occupied with 4000 million salary space to renew Shay.

Failure to reserve a space is considered a waiver of bird rights.

The second is that the league specifies in detail the proportion of different grades of contracts to the salary cap.

In other words, from now on, there will be an upper limit on the wages of players, and it will no longer be given as much as the boss will.

The exaggerated thing of 4000 million annual salary will no longer exist.

There is also the addition of the "luxury tax". Every team that exceeds the salary cap has to pay an extra part of the money to the league, which restricts rich bosses from doing whatever they want.

It's not all about the Lakers paying Shai the maximum salary while still maintaining a championship-contending roster.

These are just the rule changes on the contract, and the rule changes on the competitive level are that the league officially allows zone defense and cancels the fucking illegal defense!
And it also relaxes the restrictions on the contact of offensive players with hands when defending.

To put it bluntly, the defense can be rougher than it is now!
Don't be surprised, basketball in the 21st century was not soft to begin with.

In fact, the beginning of the 21st century was precisely the most terrifying years for the league's defense.

The era when zone defense is allowed and HandCheck is still retained is the era with the strictest defense in the entire NBA!
Defense is worse than girls!

In the original history, the defensive teams such as the Pistons and Spurs were able to win the championship, thanks to this defensive era.

And because of Shay in this history, this era with the most rigorous defense has come ahead of schedule!

These rules are undoubtedly limiting Shay's unstoppable personal singles ability.

Although Dr. Buss was negotiating against open defenses:
"Fans spend money to watch the wonderful one-on-one matches of stars, you can't take that away!"

But it's useless, because other teams also want to win the championship, and they can't just watch the Lakers make a lot of money.

And if you want to win the Lakers, the best way is to weaken Shay!

Stern also supports this. He wants to use a wave of version updates to weaken Shay and prevent the occurrence of four consecutive championships.

In the end, the league passed the new defensive rules with 22 votes in favor, 6 against, and 1 abstention.

Shay is about to take on the challenge of the most defensive era ever!
Therefore, Lima thought that Shay's sigh was because of this series of highly targeted new regulations.

But it wasn't because of this that Shay sighed. To be honest, changing the rules made Shay even more excited.

After all, only strong enough stars can force the league to modify the rules.

Only the strong will let the alliance modify the rules to target themselves.

Being able to force the league to revise the rules is also a proof of a player's superior strength.

But that old boy Stern thought he could limit himself by modifying the rules?

Do other teams in the league think that changing the rules can take away the crown from themselves?

You can try it!

What really made Shay sigh was that in this alliance, there were fewer and fewer people he was familiar with.

Just the day before yesterday, Ewing went to Shay's house as a guest, and told Shay in detail about his plan to retire.

After winning three consecutive championships, Ewing, who played as a substitute for two seasons in a row, has already started to quit.

If it weren't for the three consecutive championships, Ewing would have retired in the first year after a serious knee injury.After all, it is not in his personality to always play on the bench.

Now that Ewing has won enough honors, he decided to leave the basketball court and concentrate on fighting for the gold club.

In addition, McMillan also has plans to retire.

He accompanied Shay to win all five championships. As a role player, it can be said that he has no desires.

Coupled with the fact that I am getting older now, it is really impossible to fight until the last moment every season.

By the way, 38-year-old Terry Teague was also about to leave the basketball court. When he called Shay, he burst into tears: "The old slave will never serve the king again!"

Speaking of which, in the original history of Terry Teague, he completely disappeared from the league in 93, and he was just a little transparent all his life.

But in this history, he won five championships with Shay until 1998.

Shay felt sad when he thought that no one knew how to serve him better than Teague in the future.

In addition, there is another person who is not in the Lakers, but is also very important to Shay, who plans to retire, and that is Sir Charles Flying Pig.

After the Jazz Fliggy suffered a relapse of his back injury due to rebounding in the regular season last season, it seemed as if the world had evaporated and there was no news.

Until the other day he sent a text message to Shay:

"Congratulate yourself, you bastard, the person who is most likely to defeat you, that is, me, the old pig, is about to retire!"

Barkley is very clear that after the serious injury, he can no longer shake the status of Shai, who has won three consecutive championships.

Instead of being trampled on by young people, and being annoyed by that idiot Danny Angie, he would rather leave early.

In fact, Barkley has found a new job. He has reached a preliminary agreement with TNT TV station and is about to switch careers to be a commentator.

After changing careers, he is bound to become the commentator No.1!
Jordan, Shua, Barkley, Ewing, Terry Teague, McMillan.
League lockout, rule changes, millennium approaching
All of these gave Shay a feeling that times are really about to change.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Before I knew it, so many years had passed, so many opponents and teammates had disappeared
Seeing that Shay's face was full of sorrow, Lima smiled and leaned his head on Shay's shoulder:
"It's okay, you are still the strongest player in the world."

"nonsense."

"Tsk tsk tsk, let me praise you, you're still breathing."

"Damn, how did the little girl talk to me?"

"Hey, I won't chat with you anymore. I have to rush to shoot the magazine cover. By the way, Ambrosio is going to have his 18th birthday soon, don't forget."

"I remember, April 4th."

"What about mine?"

"do not remember."

"Fuck, Shay you bastard!"

Xie Yi showed two fingers: "1 to 1, I'm mad at you too."

"Childish! Only Michael would be willing to play this kind of game with you! Go, remember to shave!"

"Drive slower."

"Got it, I'm not a kid anymore, I'm 18 years old this year!"

"It's still five months away."

"Hahaha, you really remember! Goodbye!"

Seeing Lima drive away, Xie Yi couldn't help feeling that the little girl back then had become an 18-year-old girl.

If this is a fruit, it can be harvested.

Back in the living room at home, Shay turned on the TV.

Because the labor negotiations are over and the NBA restarts, the sports news is buzzing again.

However, Shay found that most sports channels said: a series of new rules restricting Shay, and aging stars mean that an era has passed!

In 1999, Olajuwon was still a month away from being 36 years old, and he hadn't appeared in the best team for a long time.The super center who used to be able to compete with Shay in the playoffs did not score in double digits in four games last season.

He is also like countless other superstars, unable to age in the years.

In 1999, the Admiral was no longer the arrow of the Spurs. The nerd who averaged 21 points, 12 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in his rookie season had become the new hope of the Holy City.

In 1999, Scottie Pippen was dying of injuries, his back and knees were overwhelmed.Back then, he dreamed of becoming the boss on his own.But now, he probably misses those days when he was the third child in the Bulls.

In 1999, people will no longer mention Charles Barkley, and will no longer remember his declaration "I will definitely win more championships than Shai" when he first arrived in Phoenix.

Because he can't even appear on the All-Star Weekend now, and his back injury keeps tormenting him. There is a high probability that he will not appear in the Suns' lineup next season. He is really old.

In 1999, Patrick Ewing announced his retirement.

In 1999, Drexler and Jordan had retired for almost two years.

In 1999, Shai, who had never been absent due to injury, had to be late for the new season by one to two months.Had to face the extremely unfriendly and highly targeted new rules.He had to face those young and energetic opponents with awe-inspiring talent.

The cold winter of 1999 seemed to really be the cold winter of their generation of superstars.

Shay turned off the TV, followed by another long sigh.

But soon, Shay was laughing again.

The strife of the 90s is indeed over, but
Lao Tzu's era is not over yet!

Watching the entire league go to great lengths to limit themselves, watching Stern racking his brains to limit himself.

Shay is excited!
Since Jordan retired, Shay, who feels that the game has no challenges, is the first time to feel this kind of excitement!
At first I thought this game was meaningless, if so, then I will play with you again!
Xie Yi opened the system interface, preparing to add his last few skill points.

At this time, on the ability value interface, Shay's three-point attribute has reached 78.

In the summer of 97, Shay drew 8 skill points after upgrading. Shay gave all 8 skill points three points, adding it to 60.

After the end of last season, Shay once again redeemed 22 honor points because he won the personal honor grand slam again.

Therefore, except that Shay added 4 points to his physical fitness and increased his physical fitness to 90 to prevent himself from being too tired and getting injured.

The remaining 18 points were all given three points, adding up to 78!

Now, Shay still has useless skill points after major upgrades!
This time the upgrade happened this morning, because Shay is also doing upper body recovery training now, so the upgrade experience bar has been increasing.

Just now, an upgrade was finally completed!
This upgrade was considered the latest for Xie Yi, and it was not until January of the following year that he successfully upgraded.

However, considering that I have hardly practiced much during the offseason while recovering from injuries, it is normal that the upgrade speed has slowed down.

Shay was initially afraid that the major surgery would affect his physical attributes.

But it turns out Vitti wasn't lying, and Shay's bodily functions were unaffected.

Shay's current physical attributes have not decreased at all.

The only difference is that there is an additional reminder on the attribute interface: because the injury is not 100% cured, the actual level may not be as good as the attribute display level.

But as long as Shay recovers to 100% state, all his attribute abilities can be displayed!

Since there is no need to supplement the attributes of the physique, Shay gave all the 6 skill points drawn this time to three-pointers.

So far, Shay's three-point attribute has become 84!

The threshold of "excellent" has been exceeded!

From now on, Shay is also capable of three-pointers!

Moreover, the shooting hot zone badge can also be used outside the three-point line.

In other words, if Shay develops a hot spot outside the three-point line, his three-point ability in that area will reach 89!

Enough is enough, for the current Shay, the three-point ability is completely enough!

Seeing the news about "the changing of the times" and "Shay is about to die" in the newspaper, Shay laughed disdainfully.

replacement?

Do not make jokes.

That's the same sentence, unless I stop playing by myself.

Otherwise, all of you can only be sons!
In the winter of 1999, an era passed.

But the era belonging to that man will never end!
　Today's [-]D update is here, and the conscientious old man kneels and begs for a monthly pass!
