After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball
Chapter 357 Chapter 356: Shay's decision 2, frantically picking up trash in the transfer market
Chapter 357 Chapter 356: Shay's decision two, frantically picking up trash in the transfer market?
Old Bass hugged the fresh fruit beside him, but his thoughts had already flown to the sky.
Hey, after eating fresh fruit for a lifetime, I can't even taste it.
At the age of 30, I drove impart in a big house.It’s almost 80 now, and I’m still driving impart in Dahousi.Old Bath blamed himself a little, I am really a person who has not made any progress in thinking.
Many media have criticized Bass, saying that he always finds some female companions who are as old as daughters, which is simply a decline in the world and moral decline.
Bass Sr. disagreed.
The media is simply nonsense.
The female partner I am looking for is obviously about the same age as my granddaughter!
However, these are meaningless.
The old Bass now feels that sometimes men can make him more excited!
Especially a hot guy.
At this moment, a maid came to Old Bass, who was basking in the sun by the pool, and bowed: "Grandpa, the guests have arrived."
"It's here? Isn't it the afternoon of the appointment?"
"I arrived early, saying that I sent you a text message."
Old Bass hurriedly got up, and then asked the female companion next to him to help him hold the phone: "Susan, why didn't you remind me of the text message on the phone?"
"Honey, my name is Alice."
"Well, you're the one with the mole on your butt, right?"
"That's Claire, and I'm the one with the mole on the bear."
"Ah, okay, you've confused me, I'll check your bodies after I finish talking with the guests!
Remember, you must tell me any text messages in the future, there are millions of them every minute! "
Picking up the phone, Old Bath hurriedly walked to the living room wrapped in a bathrobe.
When he walked into the living room, Old Bath saw his daughter sitting next to the visiting guests, and walking on the broad shoulders of the guests:
"Hey, after so many years, you haven't aged at all. Tsk tsk tsk, your body is still so strong. It is said that men age slower than women, and it seems to be true.
When I have time, I will go to your house to catch up on the past."
"Jenny, it's fine to reminisce, but why are you unbuttoning my shirt!"
"Ah, it's because the air conditioner is broken. I'm afraid you're too hot."
Old Bass looked at his daughter who was drooling, and shook his head, like a father, like a daughter!
He walked behind the sofa and cleared his throat on purpose:
"Shay! Why are you here early? I'm still getting the chef to prepare a big dinner, and I've got your car ready. I'm really sorry, I was going to take a shower and get dressed to see you, but I'm waiting for a moment It's too late."
The appearance of Old Buzz finally saved Shay's life.
Today's Aunt Jenny is even scarier than back then!
I knew how to be euphemistic back then, but now I drive straight.
Old Buzz was coming later, and Shay might not be able to get out of the house today.
Shay hurriedly escaped from Aunt Jenny's clutches, stood up and shook hands with Old Bath: "We're so familiar, why are you so polite? Look at Jenny, she's not polite to me at all."
Aunt Jenny smiled shyly: "Sit down, I'll make tea for you."
After the two sat down, Old Buzz looked at Shay excitedly: "Have you really thought it through?"
Shay nodded: "Think clearly, this time. Let's do it for real!"
Seeing Shay's resolute attitude, Old Bass covered his chest.
Damn, you can't die from tachycardia!
"So... when will the contract be signed?"
Shay clenched his fists and looked at the photos of the Lakers champions in the living room of the old Bass mansion.
Because the Lakers have not won a championship since the 21st century.
Therefore, most of these group photos are from the 80s and 90s.
The years of Magic and Shay.
Shay looked at those photos, looked at himself when he was still young, and looked at those teammates who had not been in the league for many years, and said firmly: "The sooner the better!"
That's right, Shay has decided to continue playing in the NBA next season!
Shay had almost forgotten his passion on the basketball court after years of peaceful life.
Originally, Shay returned halfway through last season, simply to prepare for the Olympics.
But now, with the loss of the previous half season and the Olympics, and the cynicism of the world's sports media, the long-extinguished desire to win in Shai's heart is burning again.
Looking at the news on TV saying that I was dying, and looking at the group photos on the wall, I felt excited.The bits and pieces on the road to Conferring the Gods were retraced in Xie Yi's mind like a movie scene.
In 93, he fought against Jordan, and in 94, he fought with the Knicks in six games.
In 96 and 97, he fought against Jordan on the top of the Forbidden City. In 98, he severely punished Reggie Miller who pushed him away.
And in 99, the legendary Black Eight Miracle, the gorgeous performance of 75 points in the finals
All of these caused waves in Xie Yi's heart again.
He didn't want to leave an ending of "Jordan is just a mortal" like Jordan.
He didn't want to leave so disheartened after experiencing failure.
For a person like him, there are only two endings—either die in battle, or reach the top and become king!
Disappear without a word after failing?That's not Shay's style.
He still wants to win!
While no one is denying Shay's past accomplishments, Shay doesn't allow himself to walk away in the moment as an underdog.
It is not that Shay has not considered his age, after all, he is 38 years old this year.
Some men at this age are no longer interested in handling the ball, let alone basketball.
In the field of competitive sports, 38 years old is not too young.
Moreover, Shay has been observing his own attribute interface over the years.
Since turning 35, Shay has discovered that his physical attributes will decrease as he gets older.
Last season and the Olympic Games, careful fans can see that Shay's athletic ability is far from what it was back then.
but.
Shay also found a bug!
That is, the attributes of one's own technology will not decrease with age.
What's even more exaggerated is that even if I haven't played basketball or practiced for a long time, my technical attributes will not drop!
As long as the physical condition can be restored, it can be used immediately after picking it up!
What's more, although the body attribute has started to drop, if there are attribute points, it can still be added!
Although there is a limitation, that is, no matter how much the attributes of physical fitness are added, they cannot exceed the previous highest point.
For example, Shay's speed attribute at his peak was 85.So now even if Xie Yi has 100 skill points in his hand, the speed can only be increased to 85 at most.
This means that Shay's physical fitness can only return to the same level as before at most, but he can't get old and his body is even more broken than his peak, and he will be caught and sliced for hot pot.
But it is enough to return to the level of the peak period!
The attributes of technology have not regressed, and the attributes of physical fitness can be slowly added back.
Therefore, Shay is still very confident in his comeback!
Besides, there are not no players in the original history who can still perform well at the age of 40.
What was Duncan doing when he was 38?Sending the executive deputy GOAT home.
At the age of 39, he even entered the second defense and third team.
When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was 38 years old, he was still winning the FMVP.
At 38, Malone was still one of the best power forwards in the league.
When Goat was 38 years old, the fast break was faster than 28-year-old players!
Since they can all maintain their status, there is no reason why Shay can't do it while adding a system with his own self-discipline.
Last season actually proved that Shay can still adapt to this league.
Of course, it must also be admitted that the dominance is indeed not as good as before.
But this time, as long as you prepare well for the battle, you can get upgrades and add back some physical attributes.
Then take a good look at the Lakers' lineup and system.
That will definitely make the alliance tremble again!
Last season, the Lakers purely used the lottery lineup to bring Shay, and the team did not have any decent tactical system, because the Lakers coach Frank Hamblen last season was specially used by the Lakers to show bad.
As a result, Shay dragged the team into the playoffs in a daze.
As long as the tactical system and lineup are properly adjusted this season, the results will definitely be better!
In addition to wanting to win, from a business perspective, now is a critical time for Shay's brand to compete with AJ.
If Shay can come back and win the championship, his personal brand will definitely be able to take advantage of this wave of popularity to directly explode in sales!
Of course, everything has two sides, and the risk of choosing to come back is also very high.
If he is hanged again next season, Shay's divinity will definitely be damaged.
When he came back last season, everyone knew that Shay was just playing for the ticket and looking for status for the Olympics.
So even if they lose, people will at most just say that the current Shay is not good, but they will not deny the height of Shay's entire career.
But if he fails again this season, Shay may lower his historical status.
Drexler has demonstrated that the surest way to advance in history is to sit at home and do nothing.
The more you fight, the easier it is to lower your status!
For Shay, choosing to come back this season is a high-risk, high-reward affair.
Of course, Shay doesn't fight unprepared.
If you want to make a career, there are still many things to be busy this offseason.
In this way, Shay and Bass Sr. signed a one-year maximum salary contract in his living room.
Because Falk has been eliminated by the times now, he is no longer in the league, and Shay and old Bass have nothing to talk about, just give him a maximum salary.
Therefore, Xie Yi didn't even need an agent, just picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract.
This maximum salary contract is worth less than 2000 million. After so many years, Shay still maintains the record for the highest annual salary in the NBA.
But the little money for playing in the NBA now is only a symbol of his status to Shay, and he doesn't care how much it is.
As long as it's a top salary.
In this way, when the fans are complaining that the transfer market is too quiet this year.
They are all complaining that there are no explosive deals this year.
The Lakers directly threw a wave of bombs!
"Urgent news! The Lakers officially extended Shay's contract with a maximum salary, and he will play for another year!"
"Dance again? Shay is officially back!"
"The Lakers have signed Shai, the 38-year-old legend will continue to play next season!"
Shay and Bass signed the contract at noon, and when Shay was having afternoon tea, his decision two had already shocked the world.
It has to be said that the timeliness of news in the Internet age is indeed an exaggeration.
As long as there are any hot spots, these authors can keep up with current events, and they can also make pictures and texts.
And at night, the major basketball programs are even talking about Shay's choice to play for another year.
However, the hosts of almost all the shows felt that Shay's choice was too unwise!
"I don't understand why Shay came back. He has a brand that is more profitable than playing sports. He has countless beautiful girlfriends. He knows all about Victoria's Secret! The Aston Martin sports car with hundreds of thousands of dollars is free from the manufacturer. Send it to him!
Does he have anything more to prove?
We all know he is already the best player we have ever seen, in my opinion, no matter how hard he tries, he is just chasing his own tail!
how?Is it possible that the 38-year-old Shay can have another three consecutive championships?Can it create another glories? "
"Well, it seems that people who are too strong can't stand loneliness. Jordan has taught Shay a painful lesson, don't come back, don't come back, don't come back!
But it turns out that the only lesson humans learn from history is never to learn it. "
"The management of the Lakers has gone crazy. They haven't won the championship for almost 10 years. They are in a hurry.
Give a 38-year-old veteran a maximum salary?Is this something carbon-based organisms can do?
Someone stop Jerry Buss, he must have dementia! "
"You all don't understand Shay. People like Shay are very competitive. The loss of last season and the tragic experience of losing to Mengba in the Olympics must have made him want to get back everything he lost.
I understand Shay's psychology, but come on, it's 2008, not 1998!
The 90s have long been dusted in the past, and Shay's glory has long been dusted in the past. This is not his era!
He wants to get everything back, but has he ever thought that he might be abused even worse?Possibly more to lose? "
"Shay still can't accept the fact that he is no longer a winner. Can't accept the fact that he will really be defeated by young people.
But no matter how hard he struggles, he will find that this is the reality, a reality that he can't change! "
Even Barkley, who has always liked to praise Shay, the "ugly country" sighed:
"If I had known in advance that Shay was coming back, I would have flown to his house and yelled at him to wake him up.
Is he still afraid that others will not know that he is already old? ?
Even if he wants to win, even if he wants to come back and tell people that he can still win, he doesn't have to choose the Lakers.
He can go to a place where he can win the championship more easily.
As long as Shay thinks, all championship teams will make room for salary and beg him to join!
But he just returned to the Lakers. Who is the Lakers now?Fuck, I can't even think of a name! "
While watching TV, the young master Hakura, who was killed by the Bulls in the playoffs last season, patted his thigh: "Fliggy is right!"
But beside Fliggy, Reggie Miller smiled disdainfully:
"Come on, a guy like Shay would never go for an easy championship.
He definitely wouldn't pop champagne in any other city.
Instead of chasing himself, he made a city follow him.
Shay just wanted to win. The biggest winner in basketball history just wanted to win desperately.
You all say that the young man has surpassed him.
It is said that he has been abandoned by the times.
Then he will try his best to prove to everyone that the God of Basketball is still the God of Basketball!"
Reggie Miller definitely understands Shay, because last summer, when the three giants of the Green Kai merged, he invited Miller to come out again.
This should have been an irresistible offer for Miller, who has never had a crown for life.
But Miller just refused, telling Garnett: "I really want a ring, but my only wish is to win a championship in Indianapolis."
What else can I say?Miller is just not smart!
Is basketball a fight?No, it's the way of the world.And the key to sophistication is to move around more!
Miller can understand Shai, because he is also a person who is almost paranoid about the pursuit of victory.
However, Miller's words did not attract much attention.
The public still feels that Shay's decision is digging his own grave.
And when the whole world is crazily complaining about Shay, the new general manager of the Lakers Kupchak.Well, it's just that it's the new general manager for Shai. In fact, he has been the general manager of the Lakers since 2000.
He started to put together a competitive lineup for Shay!
The current lineup of the Lakers does not seem to be strong, but it is actually very weak.
It seems that the talent is awe-inspiring, but in fact there are many problems.
First of all, the rotation lineup is too rubbish, and there are not many usable people on the bench.
Another thing is that the inside line is too weak. God knows how old Mutombo is, and he no longer has the sharpness of the past.Noah, the second-generation star, is still too young to be reused.
David Lee also has the same problem. It can be seen that he has talent, but what the Lakers need more inside is immediate combat power.
And Jermaine O'Neal has lost the sharpness of the year.
Therefore, Kupchak began to search for the current lineup loopholes in the free agent and transfer market.
Of course, Kupchak asked Shay for his opinion before doing it.
In the original history, Kupchak was very dogmatic.
Kobe Bryant once threatened Kupchak with a transfer to trade Bynum for Kidd, but Kupchak remained unmoved.
He will only consider issues from his own position, and he doesn't care about Kobe at all.
But in this history, if he dares not to kill Shay, old Bass will tell him to go out every minute
With the Lakers, Shai was heaven.
Not to mention that when Shay participated in the team's lineup construction during his peak period, he gave correct suggestions.
As for Shay's status as the "Lakers meal ticket", Kupchak has to be obedient.
Last season, during the six months of Shay's comeback, the Lakers' attendance and game ratings hit new highs since the 21st century.
The Lakers' revenue is near peak levels.
Even if Shai can't win the championship again, he will play at Staples, and he can help the Lakers make money.
Therefore, the old Bath gave Shay a lot of authority to deeply participate in the construction of the team lineup.
So at Shay's suggestion, Kupchak picked up the check and started poaching people like crazy.
The current salary situation of the Lakers is relatively healthy, with only Shay a top-salary player.
The others are either veteran contracts or child labor contracts.
So there is a lot of salary space.
But the embarrassing thing is that there are no decent big fish in this year's professional player market.
The two biggest players, "Captain Beard" Baron Davis and Yao Ming's fellow Elton Brand, have both passed their peaks.
Signing down will not help the Lakers much.
Therefore, the Lakers can only take a slant.
To sign those players who are not so famous, but suitable for the team.
Well, in fact, Kupchak thinks that these people are a bit strange!
It's just that Shay insisted on calling the name, and Shay had the boss's endorsement behind him, so Kupchak had to do as he did.
The first signing, the Lakers signed the former Warriors and Titans Matt Barnes.
The 3D small forward once showed an extremely double-eyed performance in the Warriors.
Of course, it used to be.
A devastated Barnes has played poorly since his mother passed away last season.
He averaged less than 7 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage dropped to only 29.3%.
Moreover, the strong defense in the past has also turned into a gap on the defensive end, and all kinds of absent-mindedness during the game.
People can understand the pain of losing a loved one in Barnes, after all, his mother is the only fond memory of his childhood.
But cruel competitive sports are like this, no matter what the reason is, if you fail, you fail.
In the Warriors last season, Barnes could still get an annual salary of 300 million.
As a result, in this season's free agent market, Barnes' worth is only 93.
In the end, Kupchak "generously" bid 98, and snatched the man who had lost his direction from the Suns.
Then, the Lakers let go of Elton Brand, who could strengthen the fourth position, and actually renewed the contract with O'Neal, who was no longer at his peak, with the veteran's basic salary.
Well, it's fine to sign O'Neal, the center has to be strengthened, right?
Elton Brand can play center too!
Kupchak told Shay many times, but Shay just insisted on not wanting Brand.
It's not that Shay has any prejudice against Brand, he just knows that Brand is no longer the All-Star insider with 20+10 for five consecutive seasons.
After Brand suffered a serious injury last season, he will no longer be as brave as before in the following days. Signing him will only add a garbage contract to the Lakers in vain.
Therefore, Shay did not want Brand at the center position, but gave him a name that almost pissed Kupchak to death.
A day later, the Lakers officially announced that the team signed a one-year contract of 100 million with Chris Anderson.
Don't talk about fans in other cities, even the Lakers fans themselves are in the circle.
What, what, what is signed here! ?
Barnes, O'Neal, Anderson and the Lakers left this dump!
It's like, there is a row of beauties standing in front of you for you to choose, but you fucking let the cleaning lady sit over!
Even the old Bass was a little confused. Obviously, the players signed by the Lakers now are all things that no one cares about in the free agent market.
Old Bass couldn't help thinking, what Shay said was going to be a big fight. Could it be that he wants to lead the team to compete for the champion! ?
Dell Curry was so moved, the old teammate was trying to get my talented big boy, and let the Lakers suck in advance!
Buzz Sr. also called Shay so he wouldn't have to save himself money.
But Shay just smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it's time to spend money soon!"
Sure enough, the Lakers quickly made another move in the transfer market and won a player who was 20+10 last season and had a fairly high salary.
But the addition of this player still makes the Lakers fans laugh!
Because his name is Zach Randolph!
The Lakers traded Randolph with only one David Lee.Because the Lakers still have cap space, there is no need for salary parity.
Randolph's data is indeed beautiful, and his popularity is higher than those obtained before, but...
He is almost the last player in the league!
Beating teammates, hiding leaves, going on the road with guns, being late for training, ignoring victory and scrambling stats, not defending at all
In the words of the media: "He is definitely the worst inside player who averaged 20+10 per game in history, not one of them."
According to Portland media statistics, the longest number of days Randolph did not make off-court news in the Trail Blazers last season was 17 days!
He can be honest for 17 days a season, which is already the limit!
The Blazers couldn't even get rid of this cancer.Because they coveted the talent of the young Randolph back then, the Blazers gave him a big contract. Randolph's annual salary next season will be as high as 1400 million, and few teams are willing to take over.
This story tells us that a man can't get hot just because he covets the young body of others, otherwise he will regret it in the future!
However, just when the Blazers were at a loss, the Lakers, the big grievance, came with David Lee, a rich second generation with culture, quality and potential!
When the Blazers received a call from Kupchak, they simply nodded: "Change, change, change immediately!"
Seeing that the Blazers were so anxious to get rid of Randolph, Kupchak temporarily increased the price.
On the basis of David Lee, he also sent the team's backup point guard Jordan Farmar, who played well last season, and replaced Randolph with an extra first-round pick for the Blazers.
In this step, Kupchak was mainly afraid that he would lose too much, so he took a draft pick to back it up!
After the deal was done, Kupchak called Buss Sr.:
"Can't Shay pick some normal people!? I asked Phoenix City, they are even willing to let O'Neill go for David Lee!
As a result, Xie didn't want the genuine O'Neill, so he had to get a rural O'Neill!
Let me say it first, don't blame me for the team's lottery next season.
My operations are all controlled by Shay! "
The old Buss could only comfort Kupchak: "Oh, Shay's vision is indeed quite unique. Trust him, after all, he is the god of basketball!"
Old Buss actually comforted himself in this way, and he also felt that this lineup was too weird.
These new signings are not considered "good players" in the traditional sense.
However, the introduction of Randolph's cancer is fine.
After that, Shay actually called and told old Bass:
"The day Randolph came to L.A. to report, I wanted you to pick him up in person. By the way, let that guy Kupchak go with him.
I'll be there too, and we'll meet that big guy together. "
Old Buss was completely stunned. Randolph was a mere cancer that an All-Star hadn't gotten into yet. We still have to fight so hard to meet him?
"Shay, I trust you [-]%. But you still have to explain to me the latest operation!
Our team now has gathered a bunch of 'talented men'. Are we really going to compete for the championship next season?
Our opponents are the bulls with blood on their horns, the terrible Celtics Big Three, and the Knicks at their peak.
In the West, there is also the Spurs who eliminated us last season.
And the Nuggets led by Anthony.
We are under a lot of pressure! "
Shay also understands the doubts of old Buss. After all, if the eyes of the sky are not opened, these signings are really no different from picking up trash.
So, Shay patiently explained:
"These players have their problems, but as long as the problems are solved, their quality is still worthy of recognition.
We went to pick up Randolph just to solve the problem of him not playing well.
Believe me, this is the first step in transforming Zach Randolph.
Don't you expect what a Randolph who plays obediently will look like?
Believe me too, I can make the locker room better, and we can turn waste into treasure! "
What Shay said made Old Bath let go of his guard.
If anyone can control the locker room, it's Shay.
"By the way, Jerry, I have one last request.
Carlisle hasn't renewed his contract with the Pacers yet, because he's waiting for your call.
Only he can maximize the power of our lineup. "
Shay firmly believes that as long as the coach is in place, then this year's lineup will be completed!
What can old Bass say?Shay was the cash cow, and he was the real dad.
Just do what your dad says!
In this way, the Lakers' lineup for the new season is basically formed.
Barnes, Birdman and Randolph, plus Dragic, who was selected in the previous 08 draft.
None of these four new aids seemed particularly reliable.
The only reliable one is Carlisle who has returned to the Lakers.
The coach who can still lead the Pistons to the championship after leaving the Lakers has proved his strength.
Needless to say, the power of the golden combination of Shay and Carlisle is needless to say. Carlisle not only won six NBA championships with Shay, but even the Olympic gold medal in 2000 was won by Carlisle and Shay together.
At that time, the role of Jiang's guidance was mainly to manage players and pour chicken soup, and the various tactics of the Chinese team were actually deeply involved and set by Carlisle.
But this golden combination brings such a group of "garbage" teammates. People have some doubts about the probability of the Lakers' success.
In mid-September, Bass Sr., Kupchak and Shay did go to the airport together to greet Randolph in person.
However, Randolph didn't talk much along the way, and he didn't express anything about it, and naturally he didn't express his gratitude.
It's over, Kupchak said bluntly in the old Bath's office: "Now, we have a guy who will miss training on the first day of the new season!"
Old Buss was smoking a cigar, squinting his eyes, looking at the championship trophies in his office:
"Be patient, Mitch, be patient. Shay is right. If you put aside their off-court problems, this group of players is actually very capable."
Kupchak remains unconvinced:
"But we can figure it out on and off the field! It is impossible for us to look at a player regardless of off-court factors!
Chris Anderson was suspended because of his independence.
Barnes is also a thorn in the side, and he was out of shape last season.
Randolph is a once-in-a-century cancer in NBA history!
What's the use of their strength? "
Old Bath remained calm, stood up and straightened his suit and tie:
"You don't know anything about the greatest locker room leader in basketball history, Mitch.
Shay, he must be sure to make them good before recruiting them.
Remember Billups?How did he grow from Nirvana in Los Angeles and grow into FMVP?
Remember Sprewell?How did he go from troubled teenager to All-Star guard?
And, the most notorious Dennis Rodman!
Without Dennis, perhaps there would be no Lakers glory in the 90s.
But before he joined the Lakers, no team in the league wanted him.
Shay just has some sort of magical ability, Mitch.
Mortals like you and me, don’t try to speculate on God’s thoughts.
OK, don't think too much about it.Come on, come with me for a drink. "
Old Bath has been completely relieved since the last phone call with Shay.
He trusted Shay's eyes very much.
Besides, with Shay's personality, he would not joke about victory.
Old Bath understands Shay, but that doesn't mean everyone understands Shay.
No, when the news that Old Buss, Kupchak and Shay went to pick up Randolph in person appeared, the Lakers were ridiculed even worse!
When Shay announced that he would continue to play next season, the media was actually a bit hypocritical.
What the hell. The Lakers don't know how to play, do they?
Since the Lakers still have a lot of salary space, maybe they can really assemble a super lineup to assist Shay.
As a result, this is it?
The biggest signing is actually something like Randolph who kills 1000 enemies and damages 1200!
What's more, for this kind of stuff, they even go out of their way to pick up the plane in person!
I just laughed out loud!
The current Lakers don't look a bit rich!
The fans are all happy in the basketball forum:
"Laughing, Shay doesn't really think that he can turn the tide with this lineup, does he?"
"Let's shout out that word together - Lakers quasi-champion! Hahahahaha!"
"It can't be said that the Lakers have not changed at all. Last season they were 4-1 by the Spurs. This season they can be 4-0 by the Spurs. The changes are quite obvious."
"Shai's return is a complete mistake. He has never missed the playoffs in his career record. This season will be broken! He will lose his guarantee at the end of the season!"
"Don't care about the Lakers. Don't you care about the talented and handsome Kevin Durant? He will definitely show his talents next season!"
Shay also looked at the comments of Ugly Country fans on the Internet, and most of them were actually within his expectations.
But the last one. The taste is too strong. Did you not hide it when you opened the trumpet?
The temperament is so strong that it overflows the computer screen!
Shay shook his head, turned off the computer, and lay down on the bed.
With two days to go before preseason training camp, Shai is actually quite excited.
This is the first time he has played a full season from scratch in nearly a decade.
The last time he played a full season was the 97-98 season.After all, Shay returned half way through the 99-98 season
And this time, it's directly to the 08-09 season!
I have to say, time flies so fast.
Although he is no longer young, but this training camp, Shay will definitely torture himself crazily.
because
If he works hard enough, Shay might be able to complete an upgrade before the season starts!
Tomorrow, the Lakers will take Shai to a regular press conference before the official start of training camp.
Shay is also planning to go to bed early, and tomorrow he will be full of energy to fight with reporters from all over the world!
And just as Shay was about to fall asleep, his cell phone rang.
On the caller ID, Shay's note to the caller read "kitten."
At first glance, this is a very feminine note, but after connecting, a rough man's voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Boss, the pre-season training camp will start the day after tomorrow!"
"Well, yes, the training camp will start the day after tomorrow."
"It's really great, great, right, I heard some rumors on the Internet, the team will continue to modify the lineup in the future?"
"Gerald, what exactly do you want to say?" Shay is not a person who likes to beat around the bush, and he is also very clear that Gerald Wallace did not call him for simple chat.
Who knew that after Xie Yi finished asking, he heard a suppressed cry coming from the phone:
"Boss, I know this might be unreasonable, but
Please tell the boss and Kupchak not to trade me!
I'll definitely be back, I'm already doing recovery training and the doctor says my lungs are fine!
Although I have rested for a long time, I am sure I can still play at the same level as before. I want to fight with you!
Please, I will do my best!
At the pre-season training camp the day after tomorrow, you will be able to see how I am!
Don't trade me away! "
Xie Yi was a little stunned when he heard the voice on the phone.
Wallace is a very tough player. He didn't shed a tear when his lung was punctured last season.
But now, he speaks in a crying voice.
Wallace is a player born at the bottom. He was not a high pick in the draft back then. It took years of hard work to gain a firm foothold in the NBA.
Therefore, he cherishes the opportunity very much, and he is afraid that he will be replaced by others.
This is why, after the lung collapsed last season, Elvis Presley's first reaction was to come back with an injury after less than 20 days of rest.
He was afraid that if he did not come back, he would be abandoned by the team.
Xie Yi lay on the bed, his expression became serious:
"Hey, last season I told you to rest and not come back.
So, I'm sure I won't abandon you just because you've rested for too long.
With me, no one can trade you Gerrard.You train well and recover well.
I will wait for your return.
Then, let's fight this damn world together! "
"Thank you Boss! I will not let you down! I promise!"
After finishing speaking, "Little Cat" hung up the phone.
Shay suddenly felt that the current Lakers team is also quite interesting.
A Randolph who fell to the bottom, but is about to start the prodigal son.
A Roy who had already started to make his mark.
A birdman just on his way.
An extremely insecure, begging the team not to trade his own Wallace.
And
A dusk wolf still hungry for blood and flesh.
Shay took a deep breath. The world has changed, but the core of competitive sports will not change.
Regardless of whether the outside world is optimistic or not, in basketball games, strength is king!
In this noisy world, Shay closed his eyes, ready to start his new season.
The story of the basketball god in the 21st century will start from here
Today, the two-in-one chapter is presented, and it is another day for the renewal of [-]D words, and the conscientious old man knelt down and begged for a monthly pass!
(End of this chapter)
Old Bass hugged the fresh fruit beside him, but his thoughts had already flown to the sky.
Hey, after eating fresh fruit for a lifetime, I can't even taste it.
At the age of 30, I drove impart in a big house.It’s almost 80 now, and I’m still driving impart in Dahousi.Old Bath blamed himself a little, I am really a person who has not made any progress in thinking.
Many media have criticized Bass, saying that he always finds some female companions who are as old as daughters, which is simply a decline in the world and moral decline.
Bass Sr. disagreed.
The media is simply nonsense.
The female partner I am looking for is obviously about the same age as my granddaughter!
However, these are meaningless.
The old Bass now feels that sometimes men can make him more excited!
Especially a hot guy.
At this moment, a maid came to Old Bass, who was basking in the sun by the pool, and bowed: "Grandpa, the guests have arrived."
"It's here? Isn't it the afternoon of the appointment?"
"I arrived early, saying that I sent you a text message."
Old Bass hurriedly got up, and then asked the female companion next to him to help him hold the phone: "Susan, why didn't you remind me of the text message on the phone?"
"Honey, my name is Alice."
"Well, you're the one with the mole on your butt, right?"
"That's Claire, and I'm the one with the mole on the bear."
"Ah, okay, you've confused me, I'll check your bodies after I finish talking with the guests!
Remember, you must tell me any text messages in the future, there are millions of them every minute! "
Picking up the phone, Old Bath hurriedly walked to the living room wrapped in a bathrobe.
When he walked into the living room, Old Bath saw his daughter sitting next to the visiting guests, and walking on the broad shoulders of the guests:
"Hey, after so many years, you haven't aged at all. Tsk tsk tsk, your body is still so strong. It is said that men age slower than women, and it seems to be true.
When I have time, I will go to your house to catch up on the past."
"Jenny, it's fine to reminisce, but why are you unbuttoning my shirt!"
"Ah, it's because the air conditioner is broken. I'm afraid you're too hot."
Old Bass looked at his daughter who was drooling, and shook his head, like a father, like a daughter!
He walked behind the sofa and cleared his throat on purpose:
"Shay! Why are you here early? I'm still getting the chef to prepare a big dinner, and I've got your car ready. I'm really sorry, I was going to take a shower and get dressed to see you, but I'm waiting for a moment It's too late."
The appearance of Old Buzz finally saved Shay's life.
Today's Aunt Jenny is even scarier than back then!
I knew how to be euphemistic back then, but now I drive straight.
Old Buzz was coming later, and Shay might not be able to get out of the house today.
Shay hurriedly escaped from Aunt Jenny's clutches, stood up and shook hands with Old Bath: "We're so familiar, why are you so polite? Look at Jenny, she's not polite to me at all."
Aunt Jenny smiled shyly: "Sit down, I'll make tea for you."
After the two sat down, Old Buzz looked at Shay excitedly: "Have you really thought it through?"
Shay nodded: "Think clearly, this time. Let's do it for real!"
Seeing Shay's resolute attitude, Old Bass covered his chest.
Damn, you can't die from tachycardia!
"So... when will the contract be signed?"
Shay clenched his fists and looked at the photos of the Lakers champions in the living room of the old Bass mansion.
Because the Lakers have not won a championship since the 21st century.
Therefore, most of these group photos are from the 80s and 90s.
The years of Magic and Shay.
Shay looked at those photos, looked at himself when he was still young, and looked at those teammates who had not been in the league for many years, and said firmly: "The sooner the better!"
That's right, Shay has decided to continue playing in the NBA next season!
Shay had almost forgotten his passion on the basketball court after years of peaceful life.
Originally, Shay returned halfway through last season, simply to prepare for the Olympics.
But now, with the loss of the previous half season and the Olympics, and the cynicism of the world's sports media, the long-extinguished desire to win in Shai's heart is burning again.
Looking at the news on TV saying that I was dying, and looking at the group photos on the wall, I felt excited.The bits and pieces on the road to Conferring the Gods were retraced in Xie Yi's mind like a movie scene.
In 93, he fought against Jordan, and in 94, he fought with the Knicks in six games.
In 96 and 97, he fought against Jordan on the top of the Forbidden City. In 98, he severely punished Reggie Miller who pushed him away.
And in 99, the legendary Black Eight Miracle, the gorgeous performance of 75 points in the finals
All of these caused waves in Xie Yi's heart again.
He didn't want to leave an ending of "Jordan is just a mortal" like Jordan.
He didn't want to leave so disheartened after experiencing failure.
For a person like him, there are only two endings—either die in battle, or reach the top and become king!
Disappear without a word after failing?That's not Shay's style.
He still wants to win!
While no one is denying Shay's past accomplishments, Shay doesn't allow himself to walk away in the moment as an underdog.
It is not that Shay has not considered his age, after all, he is 38 years old this year.
Some men at this age are no longer interested in handling the ball, let alone basketball.
In the field of competitive sports, 38 years old is not too young.
Moreover, Shay has been observing his own attribute interface over the years.
Since turning 35, Shay has discovered that his physical attributes will decrease as he gets older.
Last season and the Olympic Games, careful fans can see that Shay's athletic ability is far from what it was back then.
but.
Shay also found a bug!
That is, the attributes of one's own technology will not decrease with age.
What's even more exaggerated is that even if I haven't played basketball or practiced for a long time, my technical attributes will not drop!
As long as the physical condition can be restored, it can be used immediately after picking it up!
What's more, although the body attribute has started to drop, if there are attribute points, it can still be added!
Although there is a limitation, that is, no matter how much the attributes of physical fitness are added, they cannot exceed the previous highest point.
For example, Shay's speed attribute at his peak was 85.So now even if Xie Yi has 100 skill points in his hand, the speed can only be increased to 85 at most.
This means that Shay's physical fitness can only return to the same level as before at most, but he can't get old and his body is even more broken than his peak, and he will be caught and sliced for hot pot.
But it is enough to return to the level of the peak period!
The attributes of technology have not regressed, and the attributes of physical fitness can be slowly added back.
Therefore, Shay is still very confident in his comeback!
Besides, there are not no players in the original history who can still perform well at the age of 40.
What was Duncan doing when he was 38?Sending the executive deputy GOAT home.
At the age of 39, he even entered the second defense and third team.
When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was 38 years old, he was still winning the FMVP.
At 38, Malone was still one of the best power forwards in the league.
When Goat was 38 years old, the fast break was faster than 28-year-old players!
Since they can all maintain their status, there is no reason why Shay can't do it while adding a system with his own self-discipline.
Last season actually proved that Shay can still adapt to this league.
Of course, it must also be admitted that the dominance is indeed not as good as before.
But this time, as long as you prepare well for the battle, you can get upgrades and add back some physical attributes.
Then take a good look at the Lakers' lineup and system.
That will definitely make the alliance tremble again!
Last season, the Lakers purely used the lottery lineup to bring Shay, and the team did not have any decent tactical system, because the Lakers coach Frank Hamblen last season was specially used by the Lakers to show bad.
As a result, Shay dragged the team into the playoffs in a daze.
As long as the tactical system and lineup are properly adjusted this season, the results will definitely be better!
In addition to wanting to win, from a business perspective, now is a critical time for Shay's brand to compete with AJ.
If Shay can come back and win the championship, his personal brand will definitely be able to take advantage of this wave of popularity to directly explode in sales!
Of course, everything has two sides, and the risk of choosing to come back is also very high.
If he is hanged again next season, Shay's divinity will definitely be damaged.
When he came back last season, everyone knew that Shay was just playing for the ticket and looking for status for the Olympics.
So even if they lose, people will at most just say that the current Shay is not good, but they will not deny the height of Shay's entire career.
But if he fails again this season, Shay may lower his historical status.
Drexler has demonstrated that the surest way to advance in history is to sit at home and do nothing.
The more you fight, the easier it is to lower your status!
For Shay, choosing to come back this season is a high-risk, high-reward affair.
Of course, Shay doesn't fight unprepared.
If you want to make a career, there are still many things to be busy this offseason.
In this way, Shay and Bass Sr. signed a one-year maximum salary contract in his living room.
Because Falk has been eliminated by the times now, he is no longer in the league, and Shay and old Bass have nothing to talk about, just give him a maximum salary.
Therefore, Xie Yi didn't even need an agent, just picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract.
This maximum salary contract is worth less than 2000 million. After so many years, Shay still maintains the record for the highest annual salary in the NBA.
But the little money for playing in the NBA now is only a symbol of his status to Shay, and he doesn't care how much it is.
As long as it's a top salary.
In this way, when the fans are complaining that the transfer market is too quiet this year.
They are all complaining that there are no explosive deals this year.
The Lakers directly threw a wave of bombs!
"Urgent news! The Lakers officially extended Shay's contract with a maximum salary, and he will play for another year!"
"Dance again? Shay is officially back!"
"The Lakers have signed Shai, the 38-year-old legend will continue to play next season!"
Shay and Bass signed the contract at noon, and when Shay was having afternoon tea, his decision two had already shocked the world.
It has to be said that the timeliness of news in the Internet age is indeed an exaggeration.
As long as there are any hot spots, these authors can keep up with current events, and they can also make pictures and texts.
And at night, the major basketball programs are even talking about Shay's choice to play for another year.
However, the hosts of almost all the shows felt that Shay's choice was too unwise!
"I don't understand why Shay came back. He has a brand that is more profitable than playing sports. He has countless beautiful girlfriends. He knows all about Victoria's Secret! The Aston Martin sports car with hundreds of thousands of dollars is free from the manufacturer. Send it to him!
Does he have anything more to prove?
We all know he is already the best player we have ever seen, in my opinion, no matter how hard he tries, he is just chasing his own tail!
how?Is it possible that the 38-year-old Shay can have another three consecutive championships?Can it create another glories? "
"Well, it seems that people who are too strong can't stand loneliness. Jordan has taught Shay a painful lesson, don't come back, don't come back, don't come back!
But it turns out that the only lesson humans learn from history is never to learn it. "
"The management of the Lakers has gone crazy. They haven't won the championship for almost 10 years. They are in a hurry.
Give a 38-year-old veteran a maximum salary?Is this something carbon-based organisms can do?
Someone stop Jerry Buss, he must have dementia! "
"You all don't understand Shay. People like Shay are very competitive. The loss of last season and the tragic experience of losing to Mengba in the Olympics must have made him want to get back everything he lost.
I understand Shay's psychology, but come on, it's 2008, not 1998!
The 90s have long been dusted in the past, and Shay's glory has long been dusted in the past. This is not his era!
He wants to get everything back, but has he ever thought that he might be abused even worse?Possibly more to lose? "
"Shay still can't accept the fact that he is no longer a winner. Can't accept the fact that he will really be defeated by young people.
But no matter how hard he struggles, he will find that this is the reality, a reality that he can't change! "
Even Barkley, who has always liked to praise Shay, the "ugly country" sighed:
"If I had known in advance that Shay was coming back, I would have flown to his house and yelled at him to wake him up.
Is he still afraid that others will not know that he is already old? ?
Even if he wants to win, even if he wants to come back and tell people that he can still win, he doesn't have to choose the Lakers.
He can go to a place where he can win the championship more easily.
As long as Shay thinks, all championship teams will make room for salary and beg him to join!
But he just returned to the Lakers. Who is the Lakers now?Fuck, I can't even think of a name! "
While watching TV, the young master Hakura, who was killed by the Bulls in the playoffs last season, patted his thigh: "Fliggy is right!"
But beside Fliggy, Reggie Miller smiled disdainfully:
"Come on, a guy like Shay would never go for an easy championship.
He definitely wouldn't pop champagne in any other city.
Instead of chasing himself, he made a city follow him.
Shay just wanted to win. The biggest winner in basketball history just wanted to win desperately.
You all say that the young man has surpassed him.
It is said that he has been abandoned by the times.
Then he will try his best to prove to everyone that the God of Basketball is still the God of Basketball!"
Reggie Miller definitely understands Shay, because last summer, when the three giants of the Green Kai merged, he invited Miller to come out again.
This should have been an irresistible offer for Miller, who has never had a crown for life.
But Miller just refused, telling Garnett: "I really want a ring, but my only wish is to win a championship in Indianapolis."
What else can I say?Miller is just not smart!
Is basketball a fight?No, it's the way of the world.And the key to sophistication is to move around more!
Miller can understand Shai, because he is also a person who is almost paranoid about the pursuit of victory.
However, Miller's words did not attract much attention.
The public still feels that Shay's decision is digging his own grave.
And when the whole world is crazily complaining about Shay, the new general manager of the Lakers Kupchak.Well, it's just that it's the new general manager for Shai. In fact, he has been the general manager of the Lakers since 2000.
He started to put together a competitive lineup for Shay!
The current lineup of the Lakers does not seem to be strong, but it is actually very weak.
It seems that the talent is awe-inspiring, but in fact there are many problems.
First of all, the rotation lineup is too rubbish, and there are not many usable people on the bench.
Another thing is that the inside line is too weak. God knows how old Mutombo is, and he no longer has the sharpness of the past.Noah, the second-generation star, is still too young to be reused.
David Lee also has the same problem. It can be seen that he has talent, but what the Lakers need more inside is immediate combat power.
And Jermaine O'Neal has lost the sharpness of the year.
Therefore, Kupchak began to search for the current lineup loopholes in the free agent and transfer market.
Of course, Kupchak asked Shay for his opinion before doing it.
In the original history, Kupchak was very dogmatic.
Kobe Bryant once threatened Kupchak with a transfer to trade Bynum for Kidd, but Kupchak remained unmoved.
He will only consider issues from his own position, and he doesn't care about Kobe at all.
But in this history, if he dares not to kill Shay, old Bass will tell him to go out every minute
With the Lakers, Shai was heaven.
Not to mention that when Shay participated in the team's lineup construction during his peak period, he gave correct suggestions.
As for Shay's status as the "Lakers meal ticket", Kupchak has to be obedient.
Last season, during the six months of Shay's comeback, the Lakers' attendance and game ratings hit new highs since the 21st century.
The Lakers' revenue is near peak levels.
Even if Shai can't win the championship again, he will play at Staples, and he can help the Lakers make money.
Therefore, the old Bath gave Shay a lot of authority to deeply participate in the construction of the team lineup.
So at Shay's suggestion, Kupchak picked up the check and started poaching people like crazy.
The current salary situation of the Lakers is relatively healthy, with only Shay a top-salary player.
The others are either veteran contracts or child labor contracts.
So there is a lot of salary space.
But the embarrassing thing is that there are no decent big fish in this year's professional player market.
The two biggest players, "Captain Beard" Baron Davis and Yao Ming's fellow Elton Brand, have both passed their peaks.
Signing down will not help the Lakers much.
Therefore, the Lakers can only take a slant.
To sign those players who are not so famous, but suitable for the team.
Well, in fact, Kupchak thinks that these people are a bit strange!
It's just that Shay insisted on calling the name, and Shay had the boss's endorsement behind him, so Kupchak had to do as he did.
The first signing, the Lakers signed the former Warriors and Titans Matt Barnes.
The 3D small forward once showed an extremely double-eyed performance in the Warriors.
Of course, it used to be.
A devastated Barnes has played poorly since his mother passed away last season.
He averaged less than 7 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage dropped to only 29.3%.
Moreover, the strong defense in the past has also turned into a gap on the defensive end, and all kinds of absent-mindedness during the game.
People can understand the pain of losing a loved one in Barnes, after all, his mother is the only fond memory of his childhood.
But cruel competitive sports are like this, no matter what the reason is, if you fail, you fail.
In the Warriors last season, Barnes could still get an annual salary of 300 million.
As a result, in this season's free agent market, Barnes' worth is only 93.
In the end, Kupchak "generously" bid 98, and snatched the man who had lost his direction from the Suns.
Then, the Lakers let go of Elton Brand, who could strengthen the fourth position, and actually renewed the contract with O'Neal, who was no longer at his peak, with the veteran's basic salary.
Well, it's fine to sign O'Neal, the center has to be strengthened, right?
Elton Brand can play center too!
Kupchak told Shay many times, but Shay just insisted on not wanting Brand.
It's not that Shay has any prejudice against Brand, he just knows that Brand is no longer the All-Star insider with 20+10 for five consecutive seasons.
After Brand suffered a serious injury last season, he will no longer be as brave as before in the following days. Signing him will only add a garbage contract to the Lakers in vain.
Therefore, Shay did not want Brand at the center position, but gave him a name that almost pissed Kupchak to death.
A day later, the Lakers officially announced that the team signed a one-year contract of 100 million with Chris Anderson.
Don't talk about fans in other cities, even the Lakers fans themselves are in the circle.
What, what, what is signed here! ?
Barnes, O'Neal, Anderson and the Lakers left this dump!
It's like, there is a row of beauties standing in front of you for you to choose, but you fucking let the cleaning lady sit over!
Even the old Bass was a little confused. Obviously, the players signed by the Lakers now are all things that no one cares about in the free agent market.
Old Bass couldn't help thinking, what Shay said was going to be a big fight. Could it be that he wants to lead the team to compete for the champion! ?
Dell Curry was so moved, the old teammate was trying to get my talented big boy, and let the Lakers suck in advance!
Buzz Sr. also called Shay so he wouldn't have to save himself money.
But Shay just smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it's time to spend money soon!"
Sure enough, the Lakers quickly made another move in the transfer market and won a player who was 20+10 last season and had a fairly high salary.
But the addition of this player still makes the Lakers fans laugh!
Because his name is Zach Randolph!
The Lakers traded Randolph with only one David Lee.Because the Lakers still have cap space, there is no need for salary parity.
Randolph's data is indeed beautiful, and his popularity is higher than those obtained before, but...
He is almost the last player in the league!
Beating teammates, hiding leaves, going on the road with guns, being late for training, ignoring victory and scrambling stats, not defending at all
In the words of the media: "He is definitely the worst inside player who averaged 20+10 per game in history, not one of them."
According to Portland media statistics, the longest number of days Randolph did not make off-court news in the Trail Blazers last season was 17 days!
He can be honest for 17 days a season, which is already the limit!
The Blazers couldn't even get rid of this cancer.Because they coveted the talent of the young Randolph back then, the Blazers gave him a big contract. Randolph's annual salary next season will be as high as 1400 million, and few teams are willing to take over.
This story tells us that a man can't get hot just because he covets the young body of others, otherwise he will regret it in the future!
However, just when the Blazers were at a loss, the Lakers, the big grievance, came with David Lee, a rich second generation with culture, quality and potential!
When the Blazers received a call from Kupchak, they simply nodded: "Change, change, change immediately!"
Seeing that the Blazers were so anxious to get rid of Randolph, Kupchak temporarily increased the price.
On the basis of David Lee, he also sent the team's backup point guard Jordan Farmar, who played well last season, and replaced Randolph with an extra first-round pick for the Blazers.
In this step, Kupchak was mainly afraid that he would lose too much, so he took a draft pick to back it up!
After the deal was done, Kupchak called Buss Sr.:
"Can't Shay pick some normal people!? I asked Phoenix City, they are even willing to let O'Neill go for David Lee!
As a result, Xie didn't want the genuine O'Neill, so he had to get a rural O'Neill!
Let me say it first, don't blame me for the team's lottery next season.
My operations are all controlled by Shay! "
The old Buss could only comfort Kupchak: "Oh, Shay's vision is indeed quite unique. Trust him, after all, he is the god of basketball!"
Old Buss actually comforted himself in this way, and he also felt that this lineup was too weird.
These new signings are not considered "good players" in the traditional sense.
However, the introduction of Randolph's cancer is fine.
After that, Shay actually called and told old Bass:
"The day Randolph came to L.A. to report, I wanted you to pick him up in person. By the way, let that guy Kupchak go with him.
I'll be there too, and we'll meet that big guy together. "
Old Buss was completely stunned. Randolph was a mere cancer that an All-Star hadn't gotten into yet. We still have to fight so hard to meet him?
"Shay, I trust you [-]%. But you still have to explain to me the latest operation!
Our team now has gathered a bunch of 'talented men'. Are we really going to compete for the championship next season?
Our opponents are the bulls with blood on their horns, the terrible Celtics Big Three, and the Knicks at their peak.
In the West, there is also the Spurs who eliminated us last season.
And the Nuggets led by Anthony.
We are under a lot of pressure! "
Shay also understands the doubts of old Buss. After all, if the eyes of the sky are not opened, these signings are really no different from picking up trash.
So, Shay patiently explained:
"These players have their problems, but as long as the problems are solved, their quality is still worthy of recognition.
We went to pick up Randolph just to solve the problem of him not playing well.
Believe me, this is the first step in transforming Zach Randolph.
Don't you expect what a Randolph who plays obediently will look like?
Believe me too, I can make the locker room better, and we can turn waste into treasure! "
What Shay said made Old Bath let go of his guard.
If anyone can control the locker room, it's Shay.
"By the way, Jerry, I have one last request.
Carlisle hasn't renewed his contract with the Pacers yet, because he's waiting for your call.
Only he can maximize the power of our lineup. "
Shay firmly believes that as long as the coach is in place, then this year's lineup will be completed!
What can old Bass say?Shay was the cash cow, and he was the real dad.
Just do what your dad says!
In this way, the Lakers' lineup for the new season is basically formed.
Barnes, Birdman and Randolph, plus Dragic, who was selected in the previous 08 draft.
None of these four new aids seemed particularly reliable.
The only reliable one is Carlisle who has returned to the Lakers.
The coach who can still lead the Pistons to the championship after leaving the Lakers has proved his strength.
Needless to say, the power of the golden combination of Shay and Carlisle is needless to say. Carlisle not only won six NBA championships with Shay, but even the Olympic gold medal in 2000 was won by Carlisle and Shay together.
At that time, the role of Jiang's guidance was mainly to manage players and pour chicken soup, and the various tactics of the Chinese team were actually deeply involved and set by Carlisle.
But this golden combination brings such a group of "garbage" teammates. People have some doubts about the probability of the Lakers' success.
In mid-September, Bass Sr., Kupchak and Shay did go to the airport together to greet Randolph in person.
However, Randolph didn't talk much along the way, and he didn't express anything about it, and naturally he didn't express his gratitude.
It's over, Kupchak said bluntly in the old Bath's office: "Now, we have a guy who will miss training on the first day of the new season!"
Old Buss was smoking a cigar, squinting his eyes, looking at the championship trophies in his office:
"Be patient, Mitch, be patient. Shay is right. If you put aside their off-court problems, this group of players is actually very capable."
Kupchak remains unconvinced:
"But we can figure it out on and off the field! It is impossible for us to look at a player regardless of off-court factors!
Chris Anderson was suspended because of his independence.
Barnes is also a thorn in the side, and he was out of shape last season.
Randolph is a once-in-a-century cancer in NBA history!
What's the use of their strength? "
Old Bath remained calm, stood up and straightened his suit and tie:
"You don't know anything about the greatest locker room leader in basketball history, Mitch.
Shay, he must be sure to make them good before recruiting them.
Remember Billups?How did he grow from Nirvana in Los Angeles and grow into FMVP?
Remember Sprewell?How did he go from troubled teenager to All-Star guard?
And, the most notorious Dennis Rodman!
Without Dennis, perhaps there would be no Lakers glory in the 90s.
But before he joined the Lakers, no team in the league wanted him.
Shay just has some sort of magical ability, Mitch.
Mortals like you and me, don’t try to speculate on God’s thoughts.
OK, don't think too much about it.Come on, come with me for a drink. "
Old Bath has been completely relieved since the last phone call with Shay.
He trusted Shay's eyes very much.
Besides, with Shay's personality, he would not joke about victory.
Old Bath understands Shay, but that doesn't mean everyone understands Shay.
No, when the news that Old Buss, Kupchak and Shay went to pick up Randolph in person appeared, the Lakers were ridiculed even worse!
When Shay announced that he would continue to play next season, the media was actually a bit hypocritical.
What the hell. The Lakers don't know how to play, do they?
Since the Lakers still have a lot of salary space, maybe they can really assemble a super lineup to assist Shay.
As a result, this is it?
The biggest signing is actually something like Randolph who kills 1000 enemies and damages 1200!
What's more, for this kind of stuff, they even go out of their way to pick up the plane in person!
I just laughed out loud!
The current Lakers don't look a bit rich!
The fans are all happy in the basketball forum:
"Laughing, Shay doesn't really think that he can turn the tide with this lineup, does he?"
"Let's shout out that word together - Lakers quasi-champion! Hahahahaha!"
"It can't be said that the Lakers have not changed at all. Last season they were 4-1 by the Spurs. This season they can be 4-0 by the Spurs. The changes are quite obvious."
"Shai's return is a complete mistake. He has never missed the playoffs in his career record. This season will be broken! He will lose his guarantee at the end of the season!"
"Don't care about the Lakers. Don't you care about the talented and handsome Kevin Durant? He will definitely show his talents next season!"
Shay also looked at the comments of Ugly Country fans on the Internet, and most of them were actually within his expectations.
But the last one. The taste is too strong. Did you not hide it when you opened the trumpet?
The temperament is so strong that it overflows the computer screen!
Shay shook his head, turned off the computer, and lay down on the bed.
With two days to go before preseason training camp, Shai is actually quite excited.
This is the first time he has played a full season from scratch in nearly a decade.
The last time he played a full season was the 97-98 season.After all, Shay returned half way through the 99-98 season
And this time, it's directly to the 08-09 season!
I have to say, time flies so fast.
Although he is no longer young, but this training camp, Shay will definitely torture himself crazily.
because
If he works hard enough, Shay might be able to complete an upgrade before the season starts!
Tomorrow, the Lakers will take Shai to a regular press conference before the official start of training camp.
Shay is also planning to go to bed early, and tomorrow he will be full of energy to fight with reporters from all over the world!
And just as Shay was about to fall asleep, his cell phone rang.
On the caller ID, Shay's note to the caller read "kitten."
At first glance, this is a very feminine note, but after connecting, a rough man's voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Boss, the pre-season training camp will start the day after tomorrow!"
"Well, yes, the training camp will start the day after tomorrow."
"It's really great, great, right, I heard some rumors on the Internet, the team will continue to modify the lineup in the future?"
"Gerald, what exactly do you want to say?" Shay is not a person who likes to beat around the bush, and he is also very clear that Gerald Wallace did not call him for simple chat.
Who knew that after Xie Yi finished asking, he heard a suppressed cry coming from the phone:
"Boss, I know this might be unreasonable, but
Please tell the boss and Kupchak not to trade me!
I'll definitely be back, I'm already doing recovery training and the doctor says my lungs are fine!
Although I have rested for a long time, I am sure I can still play at the same level as before. I want to fight with you!
Please, I will do my best!
At the pre-season training camp the day after tomorrow, you will be able to see how I am!
Don't trade me away! "
Xie Yi was a little stunned when he heard the voice on the phone.
Wallace is a very tough player. He didn't shed a tear when his lung was punctured last season.
But now, he speaks in a crying voice.
Wallace is a player born at the bottom. He was not a high pick in the draft back then. It took years of hard work to gain a firm foothold in the NBA.
Therefore, he cherishes the opportunity very much, and he is afraid that he will be replaced by others.
This is why, after the lung collapsed last season, Elvis Presley's first reaction was to come back with an injury after less than 20 days of rest.
He was afraid that if he did not come back, he would be abandoned by the team.
Xie Yi lay on the bed, his expression became serious:
"Hey, last season I told you to rest and not come back.
So, I'm sure I won't abandon you just because you've rested for too long.
With me, no one can trade you Gerrard.You train well and recover well.
I will wait for your return.
Then, let's fight this damn world together! "
"Thank you Boss! I will not let you down! I promise!"
After finishing speaking, "Little Cat" hung up the phone.
Shay suddenly felt that the current Lakers team is also quite interesting.
A Randolph who fell to the bottom, but is about to start the prodigal son.
A Roy who had already started to make his mark.
A birdman just on his way.
An extremely insecure, begging the team not to trade his own Wallace.
And
A dusk wolf still hungry for blood and flesh.
Shay took a deep breath. The world has changed, but the core of competitive sports will not change.
Regardless of whether the outside world is optimistic or not, in basketball games, strength is king!
In this noisy world, Shay closed his eyes, ready to start his new season.
The story of the basketball god in the 21st century will start from here
Today, the two-in-one chapter is presented, and it is another day for the renewal of [-]D words, and the conscientious old man knelt down and begged for a monthly pass!
