After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 355 Chapter 354: The past of the alliance

The breeze blew across the Thames, and a dark green Aston Martin sports car was speeding on Tower Bridge.

On both sides of the road, countless cameras were filming the 007 speeding past.

The car stopped immediately after passing the Tower Bridge, and the photographers on both sides nodded in satisfaction:
"Ka! Very good shot!"

At this time, a tall and burly man stepped down from the sports car.

The man looked very young, but in fact his actual age and appearance did not match at all.

It turned out that he was filming an Aston Martin commercial just now.

And the man who got out of the car was their latest signed spokesperson.

The brand believes that with his influence, this British sports car brand will definitely gain great attention in both Ugland and China.

After all, this is the first time Aston Martin has entered the Chinese market, and by the way, it will also increase its popularity in the ugly country.

That's right, the man who can have extremely high influence in both China and Ugly is the greatest basketball player in history, six-time NBA champion, one-time Olympic champion, Shay!
As soon as Xie Yi got out of the car, countless reporters who couldn't stand it for a long time gathered together.

Although basketball is not a very popular sport in England, Shay is an international sports superstar after all.Therefore, the reporters are quite enthusiastic.

"Shay, you were photographed having dinner with Polina Seminova, the principal dancer of the English National Ballet, are you dating?"

"What do you think of the sales of coconut shoes in the first three quarters of this year surpassing AJ in an all-round way? Is there any plan to launch new products recently?"

"Do you support the resumption of hangings in the United States?"

British reporters spoke with a thick London accent and asked Shay a series of gibberish questions.

Shay also just smiled perfunctorily:

"It's dating. In London, it shouldn't be against the law for single men and women to have sex with each other?"

"Oh, it's all over the top. The media are just exaggerating. The sales have only surpassed [-] million points."

"I raise my hands to support!"

Shay smiled as he squeezed out, the car to pick him up back to the hotel was already waiting.

But at this moment, a very sharp question made Xie stop:

"Shay, tell me about the loss at the 08 Olympics."

This question silenced the chaotic scene in an instant.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the sports reporter from Sky Sports TV.

As a serious sports reporter, he is not interested in those messy things, he is only interested in sports.

So, he gets straight to the point!
Everyone swallowed, waiting for the Sky TV reporter to be beaten up by Shay.

Which pot are you not opening and which pot to lift!

The lethality of this sentence is no less than that after the Nuggets won the championship, coach Malone said in his speech, "I don't care about the championship, I am only happy to sweep the Lakers."

This is purely unsatisfactory life, the gallows can hardly stand up!

The whole world knows that the results of the 08 Olympic Games are Shay's scars.

And that reporter had just uncovered Shay's scars in person.

Sure enough, the smile on Xie Yi's face disappeared instantly, but he didn't make a move, nor cursed, but replied calmly:
"There are winners and losers. This is competitive sports."

After speaking, Shay squeezed out of the crowd and got into the car.

Upon arriving in his hotel room, Shay turned on the TV and lay down on the bed.

On the TV, the very warped weather forecast is being broadcast. I have to say that the foreign weather forecast is really good.It seems that global warming is not only making Dongjin hot, but many places in the world are hot.

But Shay's attention was not on the very warped weather forecast at all. After all, he just performed a passionate and bewildered version of "Swan Lake" with Polina Seminova last night.

I have to say, the flexibility of a professional dancer, who really knows the feeling of a straight line?
Well, it wasn't entirely because Shay didn't want to see the weather report that he had been released yesterday.

It was because of the reporter's question just now that it reminded Shea of ​​the 2008 Olympics.

Now, it is already 2008, and the Olympic Games are over.

It's been so many years
Shay, staring at the ceiling, fell into memories.

Since defeating Lithuania in Sydney in 2000, he beat Mi Li's family with 56 points in a single game in the final.And became the first player in history, except for the Ugly Chinese, to win the NBA championship and the Olympic champion at the same time.

Shay was completely unstoppable in the basketball world.

With this extremely exaggerated honor, Shay officially retired at the age of 30 and started his retirement life.

It is said that it is retirement, but it is more accurate to say that it is a change of track.

Since retiring, Shay has put her focus on developing her personal brand.

In terms of signing a spokesperson, Shay's vision is still vicious.

Especially in the modeling world, Shay's brand has been called "the egg factory of supermodels".

Even, young models from all over the world don't need Shay to find them, but they will send them to their door, wanting to become the spokesperson of Shay's banner, so as to start the road to become a supermodel.

Can you imagine?As soon as Xie Yi opened his eyes every day, the young models who came to the door to recommend themselves could step through the threshold.

In addition, Shay's figure also appeared in all walks of life.

For example, in the financial industry, some reporters photographed Shea and Ivanka as a couple on the Gold Coast in Brazil.

For example, in the sports industry, a reporter photographed Shay and a young high jumper staying and flying together.

Another example is that recently, Shay has become attached to the dance industry and has become a literary youth~
What else can I say?Shay is really a hardworking and capable man.

Don't ask why Shay isn't married, but it's because there are too many bachelors these days and it's hard to find a wife.

Xie Yi is a cheap seller of clothes and shoes, how can he be qualified to find a wife.

Although he left the arena, Shay has been active in people's sights because of his huge influence.

From time to time, as a Lakers star, I will go to the new arena Staples Center to watch a game.

The Lakers also officially retired Shai's No. 2003 jersey in 23.

And in the same year, Pat Riley also announced that the Heat will also retire Shai's No. 23 jersey!
Not for anything else, but because Shay is great enough!Although Shay has never played for the Heat, Riley decided to express his respect for Shay in this way!
It's not for nothing that people miss and respect Shay so much.

Because for so many years, there is indeed no one who can take over Shay's "Basketball No. 1" banner.

At first, it was thought that Shark would be the one to take over the scepter of the era from Shay.

In the 00-01 season, the OK combination of O'Neal and Kobe won the championship again, becoming the first team in the 00s to win consecutive championships.

That year, their opponent in the finals was the Spurs led by the Holy City Stone Buddha.

But because the admiral's peak is no longer there, Duncan has not yet waited for his two foreign defender helpers.

Therefore, in the end, the Spurs were swept by the Knicks 4-1.

The Knicks' finals were actually easier than the Eastern Conference finals.

After all, in the Eastern Conference finals, their opponents were the Philadelphia 76ers of AI and KG.

Iverson no longer fought alone, but the arrival of Garnett only allowed the 76ers to win two more games.

In the end, in the tiebreaker, the Sharks still used their stronger dominance to kill Philadelphia's inside line.

But in that round of the series, Iverson averaged a terrifying 39.6 points per game!
Relying on the amazing performance of this round of the series, Iverson is a glorious defeat, completely popular all over the world.

In this way, O'Neal and Kobe stood on the shoulders of other young talents and once again won the championship trophy.

The Knicks enjoyed two consecutive championships in the two seasons when Shai retired. O'Neal and Kobe seemed to have the best chance to become Shai's successors.

At that time, the whole world was waiting for the Knicks to build a three-peat dynasty.

Because Shay said that if there is a team that interests him, if there is a team that he wants to beat, he will come back!

And if the Knicks win three consecutive championships, then the fans have reason to urge Shai to come back quickly.

Between O'Neal's strong dominance and Kobe's rapid growth, almost everyone feels that the Knicks' three consecutive championships are a certainty.

How did you know that in the 01-02 season, the Chicagoans who had been silent for a long time suddenly emerged!
The Chicago Bulls, composed of Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Nowitzki and AK47, upset the OK combination in the Eastern Conference finals and successfully reached the finals in the post-Jordan era!
早在99-00赛季结束后的休赛期，公牛队就做了一笔交易，用正值巅峰的基斯.范霍恩和场均16+3+3的天赋后卫罗恩.莫塞尔。

Dirk Nowitzki, who was not recognized at the time, was traded from Dallas!

At that time, Nowitzki was not an All-Star and had not yet made the best team. At that time, the best German player in people's minds was still Schramf.

Apart from age and height, Nowitzki has no advantage over Van Horn.

Since the Bulls were still willing to take Moser, a 24-year-old potential guard, the Mavericks failed to resist the temptation in the end.

Of course, the most important reason for the Mavericks to trade Nowitzki is that Mark Cuban has not yet bought the team.Otherwise, he would definitely not agree.

The reason why the Bulls want to exchange for Nowitzki is not because of how strong Nowitzki is, but because he feels that Van Horn has no desire to win.

That good man has always focused on his family, and he can play games without sweating.If you can win with 10 points, never get 11 points.

It's just the first generation mouth brother.

Accustomed to the aggressive Jordan, how could Klaus stand this kind of player, so he was sent to Dallas in exchange for Nowitzki of the same type.

At the time, few people cared about the deal.

The Bulls' lineup did have a lot of problems in running-in in the first year.Moreover, the team's perimeter defense is too mediocre, and McGrady can't support it alone.

So although the Bulls reached the second round of the playoffs that year, they still lost to the 76ers.

But in the 01-02 season, with the Lakers legend, Shay's former teammate Nate McMillan took up the pointer to coach the Bulls, and the AK47, the late weapon, was finally mailed to Chicago.

And with McGrady, Nowitzki and Yao Ming all began to enter the peak.

Thus, the Chicago Bulls began their brutal domination of the East!

In that season, the Knicks' contradictions due to OK's disagreement have been completely intensified publicly. In addition, O'Neal missed 15 games due to injury, so the Knicks only won 58 games in the regular season.

The Chicago Bulls won an astonishing 67 wins in one fell swoop!
But the Knicks fans are not nervous, the Lakers still won the eighth championship in the Western Conference that year.We just fell to second place in the Eastern Conference, no problem!
Three consecutive championships, we are determined to win!

But the final result is that the Bulls finally killed the Knicks 4-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

O'Neal stopped acting recklessly in front of Yao Ming, and Kobe almost smashed the basket under the joint siege of McGrady and AK47.

Nowitzki's soft style of play is just right for Yao Ming.Because of Yao Ming's inside threat, the German chariot got many opportunities to fire from a long distance.

In fact, the Bulls should have swept the Knicks directly 4-1.

But in Game 5 of the series, Cao Caoyu accidentally made a game-winning shot from beyond the three-point line, allowing the Knicks to win Game 5.

But this victory only delayed the Knicks' death, and could not change the final outcome.

In the end, the Knicks still had their dream of three consecutive championships broken, and the Bulls also successfully won the Suns who returned to the finals and successfully reached the top!
Shay was actually quite surprised at the time, the Bulls' lineup was simply cheating!
In the original history, the Bulls, who have not been involved in a championship since Jordan retired, actually returned to the championship in 2002 in this history.

It turns out that even though Shai has retired, he is still bringing all sorts of butterfly effects to the world.

Well, now people think that it will be Yao Ming and McGrady who will succeed Shai in ruling the league.

On paper, the Bulls' lineup is already invincible.

Chicago fans were also very excited. They felt that the team might be able to do something that Jordan failed to do-three consecutive championships.

The Lakers fans are also very excited. Such a strong Bull will definitely be able to force Shai to come back. Sure enough, the Bulls are Shai's eternal enemy!

The result, surprisingly, is that .
The Bulls haven't even won two consecutive championships!
In the Eastern Conference finals of the 02-03 season, Yao Ming's accidental injury gave the Knicks a chance for revenge.

In that round, Kobe was simply a cold-blooded killer. He played the game with the mentality of "never let the bull die."

Because of being defeated by the Bulls, he spurred himself crazily throughout the offseason.

This man with a heart as small as his palm, facing McGrady who eliminated him last season, averaged 32.3 points and 44.1% three-point shooting in the series!

On the other hand, McGrady, under Kobe's entanglement, as the regular season scoring leader, only scored 27.5 points in that round of the series, and his shooting percentage was just over 40%.

And in this round of the series, McGrady played his famous scene.

At that time, the Bulls had a 3-2 lead in the series, and McGrady also smiled and talked at the press conference: "I'm already thinking about my opponent in the finals."

This boy, who had watched Shay pretend to beep since he was a child, finally had the opportunity to imitate Shay!
But how did he know that after he finished saying this, the Knicks won the series two games in a row, leaving McGrady alone in the wind.

A snake, aren't we friends! ?Why are you slapping my face so hard! ?
Dirk, you don't mind him!
Die laughing, Dirk can't even protect himself.

Without Yao Ming's restraint, Nowitzki had a huge upset in this round of the series.The shooting rate is also only in the early 40%, and the three-point shooting rate is only 28%.

He was also labeled as a "soft guy" for this reason.

Many people may not believe it, but the man who played the Bulls the hardest in this round was AK47 as a role player.

Although Yao Ming was injured, the Bulls still had a chance to win if Tracy McGrady and Dirk played harder.

But there is no way, McGrady and Dirk in this period, it is really difficult to fight tough battles.

In this way, the Knicks revenge the Bulls.The seemingly invincible Bulls have no chance of winning two consecutive championships, let alone three consecutive championships.

But just when Kobe and O'Neal thought they could win the third championship trophy, the Holy City Stone Buddha smiled and taught the OK group what it means to fight between the snipe and the clam.

The Knicks, who were exhausted after seven games, were powerless to face the rigorous and tough defense of the Spurs in the finals.

Coupled with the fact that O'Neal was dissatisfied with the fact that Kobe was already sitting on top of his head, so he only wanted to attack and didn't care about defense at all.

As a result, Tim Duncan played the strongest round of the Finals in his career.

Duncan in 03 has become perfect.

他常规赛率队60胜22负场均23.3分 12.9个篮板3.9次助攻2.9个盖帽。

In the playoffs, they averaged 24.7 points, 15.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 3.3 blocks per game, all of which were higher than those in the regular season.

In the Finals against the OK Knicks, Duncan averaged 28 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.3 blocks per game.

And in the sixth game, he scored 21 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists and 8 blocks in a terrifying quasi-quadruple double!

Finally, this Shilipo sword god has achieved a positive result in the NBA.

Duncan's historically powerful performance made the proud Sir Charles Flying Pig call out: "From now on, Karl Malone and I can only compete for the position of the second most powerful striker in history!"

When winning the championship, Duncan, who has always been taciturn, couldn't help shouting: "Many years ago, Shay told me that the future is mine! Today, I finally fulfilled it!"

Kobe, Hill:? ? ?

Wait, Shay told us that too!
Well, both the Knicks and the Bulls are kneeling.

So, Duncan is so likable, he should be able to rule this era, right?
He should be able to force Shay out of the mountain, right?
People also interviewed Shay at that time, and Shay also bluntly said: "If Duncan wins two consecutive championships, I will come back!"

As a result, in 2004, the greatest civilian champion in basketball history came on the scene.

In 04, the OK group existed in name only.Although not yet divorced, they are already in a state of playing their own way.

In 04, the Bulls left Tracy McGrady, because he didn't want to be the scoring leader, but inferior to Yao Ming in the low position.So, he made a fuss to leave, and the Bulls had to send him to Vancouver in exchange for All-Star guard Francis.

But obviously, Francis and McGrady are not at the same level of players, and the Bulls' dominance has been greatly reduced.

In 04, Duncan, who had just reached his peak, was attacked by plantar fasciitis.

In 04, the Pistons gathered Big Ben, Rashid, Little Prince, Hamilton, Billups and Milicic who had not been crippled.Because the coach of the Pistons at this time is Carlisle, the former six-time champion coach!

Because the Lakers were depressed after Shay retired, and the old Buss was unwilling to pay a high salary and luxury tax if he could not win the championship.

Therefore, Billups and Big Ben chose to follow Carlisle after the contract expired and freely joined the Pistons during the offseason.

And this seemingly inconspicuous Pistons stood out from the crowd by relying on defense.

In the fiercely competitive Eastern Conference, Leng Shi blazed a trail and successfully won the championship.

Pistons fans are boiling. After the glory of the 80s, they spent the blank 90s and finally returned to the top in 2004!
But the Lakers fans cried.

Since Shay retired to the present, five seasons have passed, and the league has produced four champions.

The Knicks, Bulls, Spurs and Pistons take turns.

The OK combination swept the league, Yao Medek picked up the AK47 to kill wildly, the idiot played a legendary season, and the civilian piston broke the sky.

Each time, it felt like one of those champions could rule the league.

But every time, they couldn't keep their throne.

The alliance is in chaos!

And without an opponent who can dominate the league, Shay will not come back. Do you think Lakers fans can stop crying!

Shay is now 34 years old.

In other words, even if there is a strong enough team in the future, the chance of Shay coming back is already very small!
After the Pistons won the championship, Shay became angry again.

Although the Pistons won the championship has nothing to do with Shay, but because the ratings of the Pistons and Spurs in the finals hit a record low, the defensive battle between the two teams made the fans drowsy.

So Stern decided that the league officially entered the No Handcheck era!
At present, the defensive rules formulated to restrict Shay seem to be too difficult for other players.

This season, the league averaged only 93 points per game.Ten years ago, that number was 105 points.

This season, Tracy McGrady, who scored the highest in the league, only scored 28 points. Besides, there is no second player who averaged 25 points per game.

Ten years ago, O'Neill and Admiral's average points per game were close to 30!

The existing defensive rules make offense more difficult, which is very unfavorable for the alliance to create apes.

So Stern decided to change the rules to make the offense easier.

This move made Shay popular again after many years, because under the same rules, Shay's scoring was not affected at all, and it did not even affect his miracle of black eight.

But today's young people can only get more points by relaxing the rules.

All of a sudden, all kinds of remarks about Shay poured out again:
"To be honest, when these superstars go to Shay's era, they can't touch the championship."

"If Michael Jordan, the millennium second child in the 90s, played in this era, he might win eight consecutive championships!"

"Let's not talk about Jordan, Barkley's trash won more than two championships in this era. No, Drexler can lead the team to win the championship!"

Drexler's historical status has risen again!

He might as well not call it a glider in the future, but call it a helicopter.

Since retiring, this status has been rising!
In the end, people can only sigh with emotion: Shay is so fucking strong!I miss being a superstar like him!
In the season after the rules were revised, the scoring data of outside players was indeed good, but the league was still extremely chaotic, and there was no ruler like Shai.

In 2005, after Ginobili and Parker grew up, Duncan returned as king.

In 2006, the mature Yao Ming, Dirk and AK47 struggled to win the second championship.The most embarrassing thing at this moment is undoubtedly McGrady, because the Bulls have proved that without him, the team can still win the championship.

In 2007, Paul Gasol and Artest parachuted into New York. Kobe, who held his breath, finally won his third championship after a lapse of six years, and laughed at the sharks far away in Miami:
"Shaq, now I have one more than you! You and your 03 kid will be envious!"

Well, because the Eastern Conference in this history is too turbulent, the Sharks and Wade's heat can't get out at all.

Seeing that more than half of the first decade of the 21st century has passed, there is still no one who can rule the league for three consecutive championships.

Thinking of this, Shay, who was staring at the ceiling, was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.

He picked up his cell phone, and the caller ID was Jerry Bass, an old man who was 73 years old but still kept a few fresh fruits every day.

Shay looked at the original smartphone in his hand and couldn't help feeling how time flies.The first time he spoke to old Buss, the phone wasn't even capable of texting.

After a trance, Shay answered the phone:

"Hey Jerry."

"Hey Shay, hope I didn't interrupt your date with your little English National Ballet girlfriend."

"What date? We're discussing art!"

"Ah, yes, yes, I also loved to discuss art when I was young. I understand the heart of a literary youth!"

After the two had a gag, Old Bass began to get into the theme:
"Well, everything in 2008 may not be satisfactory, but... are you still interested in talking? Talk about next season!"

Having said this, Shay sighed.

Memories also continue.

After Kobe won the championship in 2007 until now, the bad memories of this year began to roll in Shay's mind
　Thanks to the big guy high for the reward, thank you everyone!
