After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 349 Chapter 348: Without Shay, the NBA is almost at a standstill, and the perfect lineup is gradually forming!
In the winter of 1999, a sudden TV scene caused the ratings of TNT TV station to explode.

In the past, the Lakers were in charge of the devil, and they knelt down on their knees during the live broadcast of the show, and then knelt and bowed continuously with their hands clasped together as if they were worshiping Buddha.

He kept chanting one sentence in his mouth:

"Please Shay, come back, come back. Please, come back!"

The highly respected magician actually knelt down and begged Xie Yi to come back on a nationally broadcast TV program!
So don't say that it's embarrassing for a super giant to kneel down, it wasn't his magician who started it!

The magician hasn't changed much over the years. He has always been a joking and joking person.He is always polite to other super giants, mostly with praise.

It gives people a very easy-going, very unassuming feeling.

But no matter how arrogant he is, he is also the second point guard in history after Shay.

There is no airs anymore, he is also a member of the Hall of Famer, the top [-] superstars in the NBA.

I don't know where he is higher than the 51 superstars in New York.

Just such a man, willing to temporarily put down his dignity and kneel in front of the camera, is enough to show his sincerity.

No way, if the magician doesn't kneel, the entire basketball industry will be doomed!

At the beginning of Shay's retirement, there were still many team owners who were complacent, feeling that the league had finally got a balance, and it was no longer a dominant player.

Next, there will be no leader in the world, and everyone will have a chance to compete for the championship and make a lot of money.

The results of it?During the short six months of Shay's retirement, the NBA's ratings returned to the 80s overnight, and the Lakers' attendance rate was cut in half.

The attendance of some small teams has also been affected. In the past, when Shai went to the cities of the small teams to play away games, which team could still get the light of Shai and sold out.

But right now, they haven't had much of an attendance climax all season.

The NBA's off-court business has shrunk rapidly, and the top ten jersey sales of active players combined are not as much as the sales of Shay's jerseys alone.

The league's international influence also declined rapidly.

The ratings of sports TV stations have been greatly affected, the stock markets of sports-related industries have plummeted, and Wall Street performs trapeze every now and then.

Even the fruit bowls in Los Angeles are unsalable, because Old Bass, a large fruit grower cooperative, has reduced the number of times he eats fruit because of the sharp drop in income!

I thought that when Shay retired, everyone would have an equal opportunity to make money.

It turned out that once Shay retired, everyone had no money to make!
I have to say that this is indeed another way of "balance".

As for the devil, his main business after retirement is also related to basketball, and he still has a little share of the Lakers.

When the magician retired, because the Lakers still had a full 12-year contract that was not executed.So in order for the magician to agree to a buyout, Old Buss is willing to give up 4.5% of the shares to the magician.

Of course, it's not to him directly, but he is willing to let the magician spend money to buy the 4.5% of the shares.

Therefore, the magician has always been regarded as a small boss of the Lakers.

Now the attendance rate of the Lakers has been cut in half, and the entire league is not making money, which must have affected the magician's income.

Do you think he can not kneel?Do you understand the hardships of middle-aged men having children?
Behind the magician, neither Barkley nor Kenny Smith could laugh.

With Shay retiring and the ratings of sports programs dropping, TNT TV stations are beginning to consider reducing the salaries of their price hosts!
In the current market situation, instead of paying former professional players like Barkley, the TV station might as well spend a small amount of money to hire a few beautiful hosts in tights, which will attract more attention!
In short, Shay's retirement is not just a sports event, but a social event directly.

No way, Shay's influence in the basketball world is too great, beyond everyone's expectations.

The duel between Shay and Jordan was the foundation of the NBA's brilliance in the 90s.

After Jordan retired for the second time, because Shay is still there, he hasn't seen any impact yet.

But when both Jordan and Shai retired, the league suddenly entered a lean state.

In the entire league, there is no commercial value, strength, and players who can be compared with Shay and Jordan.

And things like the NBA are unattractive without stars.

Just like an art film, no matter how extravagant your posture is, or how twists and turns you make in the plot.If the protagonist is not good-looking, he is not attractive.

Both Shay and Jordan have retired, which means that both load-bearing walls have been smashed, so the building will not collapse.

The NBA is in a backwater right now, not just the magician, but the owners of the teams who were complacent half a year ago, now want to kneel down and beg Shay to come back.

In fact, Stern is not without action.

Half a month ago, he was going to have a face-to-face meeting with Shay, trying to persuade Shay to come back.

After all, Shay's retirement is not involuntary, his life has not changed, and his age is not too old.

But after contacting Shay's agent Falk, Stern found out that Shay had already returned to China.

Stern immediately asked Xie about the specific whereabouts. China is China, and Stern has not experienced the days of finding someone to do business in China.

But Falk told Stern: "Shay probably doesn't want to be disturbed. He told me that he doesn't want to appear in public for the time being. Moreover, he has very important work to do."

Stern was very puzzled, very important work?

Even if Shay doesn't play, his personal brand income and various endorsement income can earn him tens of millions of dollars a year.

This kind of life is too late for most young people to lie down. What important work can Xie be busy with?

The matter of Stern looking for Shay was left alone.

But indeed, thinking about it carefully, it seems that it has been a long time since I heard news about Shay.

At this time, Xie Yi was busy and sweating profusely in the office of the Liuzhou National Basketball Training Base.
Suo snail powder.

"Oh, otherwise, our food is still delicious? In the land of America, it's either fried or deep-fried. They know nothing about gourmet food! Director Jiang, would you like some?"

Opposite Xie Yi, Jiang Xingquan pinched his nose with disgust on his face: "You can eat, you can eat, I'm not hungry yet."

Shay smiled, and then continued to babble.

After all, he doesn't eat this high-fat and high-carb food all the time, and he only eats it once in a while.

Although he has retired from the NBA, Shay still pays attention to his physical condition.

after all
He also wants to do a big event in Sydney in 2000!

After eating the noodles, Shay looked out the office window.

Several players are conducting their own special training under the guidance of professional trainers from abroad.

At this time, the CBA, which is the League A, is still in full swing.

But every month, the Chinese men's basketball team will conduct a short training session at the Liuzhou National Team Training Center.

Not enough coaching staff?It didn't matter, Shay had brought all of Glover's team over directly from America at his own expense.

Normally, this team is responsible for helping Shai maintain his physical condition, and during the short training period, he will serve the entire team.

Outdated training equipment?Xie Yi said "I want to win gold", and all the equipment was updated.

In the past six months, Shay has been doing this.

Help train Chinese team players who have not been able to go abroad to play!
Dayao, Daqi, Daba and the second blind hero of "John Wick 4" who play in the NBA, they don't need to worry about Shay.

There, they get the best training and exercise.

But if you want to play against the dream team, they are not enough.

Role players must also have a certain ability to compete.

So Shay came back to help the others with special training.

Of course, it is definitely unrealistic to train all these players who have not been able to play abroad to be able to wrestle with the players of the Dream Team in just one year.

But Shay doesn't need everyone to become extremely strong, he only needs one or two of them to play a strength far beyond the original history.

At present, Xie Yi's focus is on that serious fan of diamond horns, Li Nan.

After eating the powder, Xie Yi stepped into the training field, walked up to Li Nan who was training three-pointers, and waved the trainer to step back first.

Li Nan didn't talk too much nonsense, he has gotten used to it in the past six months.Once Xie Yi appeared in front of him, he wanted to single out with him.

So Li Nan picked up the ball and began to dribble it in front of Shay.

The others also temporarily stopped what they were doing and entered the "melon-eating mode".

Li Nan suddenly started and broke through to Xie Yi's left.

But before the ball hit the ground, there was a crisp sound of "bang" in the audience.

Li Nan broke through Shay, but the ball disappeared.

He turned his head to see the basketball twirling in Shay's fingertips.

Li Nan immediately lowered his head, not looking at Xie Yi.Because as per usual, Shay's trash talk is coming:
"Are you serious? Please, I just finished eating the noodles, and my stomach is so full that I can't bear my weight. In the end, you still can't pass me? Take care of yourself, Grandma Shaq can guard against you!"

Li Nan didn't speak, but stood in front of Xie Yi with open arms, ready to defend.

However, Xie Yi just stood there and didn't move, didn't jump, just threw the ball casually with one hand, and Li Nan heard a "swipe".

"Defense, do you know what defense is? What are you doing so far away from me? Confrontation, confrontation!"

Li Nan clenched his fists tightly, took the ball from the trainer, and it was his turn to attack again.

After that, everyone in the Chinese team enjoyed seeing Li Nan being cheated, seeing Li Nan being cut off, and seeing him being beaten by Shay in various ways.

A dignified member of the national team, the main force of the Bayi team, was being abused by Xie Yi like a schoolboy.

No, elementary school students still dunk anyway.

After today's heads-up round ended, once again, Li Nan didn't score a single point!
Shay shook his head and muttered:
"It's been half a year, and you haven't scored a goal in front of me. Seriously, don't stay in the men's basketball team, go save the men's football team. The 02 World Cup needs you.

Oh, you can go directly to the 99 Women's World Cup. "

Having said that, Li Nan couldn't bear it anymore.

He could bear what Shay said to him before.

But now Shay is calling himself a bitch?

Feeling overwhelmed with humiliation, he suddenly rushed towards Xie Yi and punched him directly: "You are too much of a bastard!"

Again, the Chinese men's basketball team may not necessarily know how to play, but they will definitely punch.

Li Nan participated in several fierce battles in the history of Chinese basketball.

But Shay, after all, did it professionally before turning to basketball.

So he dodged easily, avoiding Li Nan's fist, then tripped on the sole of his foot, pushed with his hand, and directly pinned Li Nan to the ground.

Seeing the two fighting, the other players around rushed to pull.

But Li Nan was still very excited and kept trying to break away from the crowd to attack Xie Yi.

Under the pull of another group of people, Shay showed a disdainful smile:
"It's okay, it's okay, let him go and see what he can do."

"Enough!" Li Nan stopped struggling until the respected Jiang Xingquan shouted.

Subsequently, both Shay and Li Nan were called into the head coach's office.

Li Nan's emotions are still agitated:
"Director Chiang, I know he's the best player in the NBA.

Well, he is the strongest player on the planet!

But this does not mean that he can wantonly trample on the dignity of other players!
He obviously targeted me on purpose!

There are so many people in the team, why does he only find me to single out every day?
With so many teammates, he was polite to everyone, why did he speak rudely to me?
I didn't offend him, did I? "

Xie Yi hurriedly smiled at Jiang Xingquan: "Wrong, wrong, I was wrong about Jiang Xingquan's guidance."

But soon, Shay changed the subject:
"It doesn't matter, let him be trampled on by foreign players. In the Olympic Games, wearing the jersey of the Chinese team, he was ridiculed by the players of the dream team.

Is that how you feel comfortable?Or, are you used to being underestimated by players from ugly countries?

At your current level, you can play against the dream team, can you do it?

Can't fight, you don't have that ability at all, you know!

Maybe you are used to being No.2 and the so-called 'ugly country is number one in the world'.

But I'm not fucking used to it!

After being the runner-up for so many years, haven't you been enough! ?

Why can't it be us who win!

On the court, the opponent's words will only be worse than mine.

They will only be more ruthless towards you!

If you become a breakthrough in the field, then congratulations, you will be caught and beaten to death!
At that time, you also yelled at the referee, and you cried and told the referee, ah, they trampled on my dignity.

Fuck it, dignity is created by yourself! "

Xie Yi's words made Li Nan also stunned.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand why Shay only singled him out, and why Shay only insulted him.

Director Jiang also knew that Xie Yi hated iron but not steel.

Xie Yi strongly recommended Li Nan in front of Jiang Xingquan more than once, wanting him to start the 2000 Olympic Games!
In Jiang Xingquan's prediction, the starting five tigers in 2000 must be the blind hero, Shay, chasing the wind boy, Bus and Yao Ming, the NBA five tigers.

But Shea believes that Wang Zhizhi is too slow to play the third position in the international arena and suffers too much defense.He is more suitable to play the starting four position to help Yao Ming open up space.

Battelle is more suitable to play the sixth man and lead the bench.Moreover, when Battelle plays as a substitute, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming can have rest time at any time, and maintain the world-class inside advantage of the Chinese team.

Therefore, Li Nan is the most suitable for the starting number three!
When the outside world evaluates a person, what they value is often the appearance of his last success or failure, and his existence is defined by this.

Li Nan's achievements when he was the head coach of the national team in the future made him a sinner accused by thousands of people.

The "diamond horn" stalk also often appears in major basketball forums.

But to be fair, Li Nan is not useless, at least Li Nan was very good when he was a player.

He may be the earliest 3D small forward in the history of Chinese basketball. In the domestic league, the three-point shooting rate is in the range of 40%-50% all the year round!

In the international competition, Li Nan's three-pointers are also very stable, with a hit rate of more than 35%.

原历史里的2000年奥运会，对阵意大利，他曾三分7投6中砍下25分。02年世锦赛对阵新西兰，三分12中8，33分。

In Athens in 04, he was the only player in the team other than Yao Ming who scored in double figures per game.In the classic game against world champion Serbia and Montenegro, everyone only remembers Yao Ming who scored 27 points and 13 rebounds, but ignored Li Nan who hit 4 three-pointers and always stabbed fatally at critical moments.

Compared with Zhu Boxing Champion and Wang Shipeng in the future, Li Nan's performance in international competitions is obviously more stable.

In fact, during the period from 2000 to 2004, because of the outstanding performance in international competitions, many European giants sent invitations to Li Nan.

If it weren't for various complicated reasons, he should have become No.1 in European basketball.

Therefore, Li Nan at his peak had strength.

Not to mention becoming a big star in the international arena, but as long as you strengthen your training, there is no problem in becoming a qualified 3D starter.

That's why Shay always "finds fault with him" on purpose.

He hopes that in one year, with better training and more demanding requirements, Li Nan can grow up quickly and make up for the vacancy in the third position of the Chinese team!
After Shay got angry, he left the office directly.

Li Nan looked at Jiang Xingquan, Jiang Xingquan waved his hand and told Li Nan to sit down:

"Know why Shay keeps bugging you?

He is afraid that you will not be able to pass my level.

He proposed to let you start the Olympic Games, but I think Wang Zhizhi is more suitable.

So, he wants you to show a performance that can conquer me as soon as possible.

To be honest, I still don't have a conclusion on the starting list.

If you behave well, I will seriously consider it.

Xie Yi, he is a person, he has been abroad for a long time, and his speech is really not pleasant.After all, the wicked America is a country with no moral bottom line.

Comrade Xie Yi was indeed slightly corrupted by this bad atmosphere.

But he is definitely not really malicious to you. It is a bit wrong for you to take the initiative to do something today.

Everyone is for the same goal, that is the breakthrough of the Olympic gold medal.

So, don't put your energy on the internal strife, let's work hard! "

Jiang Xingquan's PUA made Li Nan feel a little guilty now.

It turns out that Xie Yi tortured me and scolded me for my own good?

So, Shay is so optimistic about me?

Then, please step up your efforts!

The first shake M of the national team is officially born!

While Li Nan was still feeling guilty in the office, Xie Yi had already gone to the cafeteria where there was no mouse head, and watched the fourth quarter of the Yao Sha battle.

In the end, the Bulls naturally failed to beat the championship candidate Knicks, but Yao Ming scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in the second matchup with the Sharks!

Yao Ming's confrontation ability is stronger, but he is flexible.His skills around the basket are solid and his defense is tough.

Moreover, there is also a rabbit jumping shot that is as steady as an old dog.

At the beginning, Ewing went to teach Yao Ming, but Shay was afraid that Ewing would not teach him something useful, and instead lead Yao Ming to some bad habits.

As a result, Ewing not only taught Yao Ming very well, but also gave up abstinence because he met Yao Ming!

Under the influence of Yao Ming, Ewing has changed from an old pervert to an Internet addict, addicted to Thor's Hammer every day!
Ewing couldn't figure it out now, where did women come to be confident that they were more fun than games?
I have to say that Ewing did teach Yao Ming a lot.

The most important thing is that Yao Ming in this history has outstanding ability in handling the ball!
No longer the stupid big man who is helpless when he encounters double-teaming!
In other games on the same day, Lao Hu came off the bench and scored 4 three-pointers and scored 16 points.

Frozen Snow Wolf Wang Zhizhi scored 17 points and 6 rebounds against the Pacers.

In the Jazz VS Rockets game, because Olajuwon had to be distracted to deal with Malone, the bus actually scored 15 points on Dameng with his steady mid-range jumper!
Shay smiled contentedly.

Although without himself, the Chinese Legion still has a full sense of presence in the NBA.

With their current strength, they will definitely have no problem playing in international competitions, and they will even be better than most players.

Now, Li Nan in the third position is only short of the perfect lineup in Xie Yi's mind!

As long as that piece of the puzzle can be put together, the team that breaks the dream is no longer just a crooked fantasy!
I hope that guy can figure it out by himself.

If you can't figure it out, then beat me up again!
In just six months, the basketball world declined without Shai.

But after half a year, people will find
The basketball world will once again cause an uproar because of Shay!
The god of basketball, he can control the basketball world at will~
　Today's [-]D update is here, begging for a monthly pass!
