NBA: There is nothing wrong with bringing a ball in a fight!

Ye Qingchen's words stunned Bass and others. It was the first time that they saw such a domineering side of Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen has always looked like a humble gentleman in front of them. Even though he often beats up his opponents on the basketball court, he is actually very easy-going and approachable, and he is also very friendly to his teammates.

Therefore, almost all the players in the Lakers team admire Ye Qingchen very much and have a very friendly relationship with him.

Ye Qingchen takes great care of his teammates. On the basketball court, he often passes the ball to players who rarely have a chance to perform on the court, giving them a chance to score.

Off the court, Ye Qingchen also takes great care of those players who only have non-guaranteed contracts. From time to time, he invites them to nightclubs to reward them and let them experience the luxurious nightclubs.

Some players were not even willing to change their sneakers. After Ye Qingchen saw this, he directly used his own money to prepare the sneakers they needed for the entire season, so that they no longer had to worry about these minor problems.

For Ye Qingchen, this is not about trying to please his teammates. He just feels that everyone has their downfalls. Since he has become his teammate, he should try his best to express his goodwill.

Moreover, Ye Qingchen would never tell these things, and there was no need for him to publicize them.

What the outside world thinks of him is their business, he can do whatever he wants, and others can't interfere with him at all.

Therefore, Ye Qingchen has a very high status in the Lakers, and all the players respect him and admire him quite a lot.

When they learned that Ye Qingchen had announced his retirement, they were all frightened!

They really couldn't let go of this teammate. Ye Qingchen served as a life mentor to many Lakers players.

So Old Dengtou also made an issue out of this:
"I know you are not short of money, and you are even richer than our boss, but are you really willing to leave the basketball court?"

"I know you are very passionate about basketball. You are announcing your retirement now because you want to go against the league. In fact, it is a sign of anger on your part."

"There are many unreasonable rules in the league. We all know these. We can change them in a gentler way instead of using such a tough approach to fight against them."

"The consequence of doing this is that it will be difficult to make big changes. An arm cannot twist a thigh. The capital behind the alliance is not as simple as you think!"

Old Dengtou's analysis was correct, and Ye Qingchen did not deny it, but he still smiled and shook his head and said:

"I understand all this. You don't need to persuade me. I have already made a decision. If you are interested, you can come and watch my first game!"

Having said this, Bass and others also knew that Ye Qingchen's attitude was very firm, so they all left with regretful expressions.

Of course, if Ye Qingchen wants to have a boxing match, they will definitely come to support him. After all, he has brought too many honors to the Lakers.

Although I was very reluctant to choose to retire at this time, there was nothing I could do.

Although there is still a contract between Ye Qingchen and the Lakers, the Lakers will not make a fuss about this. After all, even if they really go to court with Ye Qingchen, the Lakers will still lose.

Because Ye Qingchen is really not short of money, his assets have even surpassed Lakers owner Buss, and he no longer needs to make money by playing basketball.

This is the most critical point!
So they all understood what Ye Qingchen's current goal was, which was to confront the league. He wanted the league to know that basketball players were not their money-making tools, and they were not subject to whatever rules they wanted.

After Ye Qingchen announced his retirement, the ratings of the NBA playoffs plummeted, and they were not even as good as the Lakers' regular season ratings.

This was something David Stern did not expect. He actually thought that after Ye Qingchen was suspended indefinitely, Ye Qingchen would relent.

After all, if a player has no games to play, he will lose his source of income, which is a fatal blow to the player.

But David Stern underestimated Ye Qingchen's wealth accumulation. He didn't even need to continue playing to make money.

What made David Stern feel even more aggrieved was that Ye Qingchen actually announced his retirement directly and stopped playing!
Now David Stern has really fallen into a huge passivity!
He had never considered such a consequence, because he felt that no player would be willing to retire at his peak, and no one would give up these huge honors.

But Ye Qingchen really gave up. He even announced his retirement directly and decisively, and wanted to bring his talent to the boxing world.

This is a slap in the face!

After Ye Qingchen announced his retirement and caused a sharp drop in playoff ratings, David Stern was also held accountable by the league's board of directors:

"Why did you punish Ye so harshly?"

"Now it's self-defeating. He directly announced his retirement, causing us to lose a large number of fans. How do you explain it?"

David Stern's mind was also extremely confused at the moment. He felt that Ye Qingchen was deliberately going against him and forcing him into the palace.

Under such circumstances, the league must not give in. Once they give in and ask Ye Qingchen to return to the NBA, it will undoubtedly be the biggest failure of the NBA.

So David Stern directly confirmed his thoughts:

"Dear directors, Ye is just out of anger and against us. We can't just give in. We can handle this matter coldly and ignore him!"

"When a period of time passes, his enthusiasm will naturally dissipate. At that time, he will regret it!"

"At that time, we can report him through the media and make him feel regretful!"

"Then we extend him a friendly olive branch and he'll be begging like a dog to come back and play again!"

After the league's board of directors heard what David Stern said, they were all stunned.

Because they found that David Stern's analysis seemed to make sense. As a professional player, wouldn't he be looking for abuse by going to a professional boxing match?

Is he just doing this to attract more attention?

Just like a child, in order to gain attention, he will always do some sensational things and then attract the attention of his family.

In this case, just ignore it, and he will eventually feel helpless and come back again.

Therefore, this accountability meeting allowed David Stern to escape.

In fact, David Stern actually felt that Ye Qingchen would definitely come back. What else could he do besides playing basketball?
Although this guy often beats up his opponents in the competition arena, in fact he is just an amateur boxer. When he really goes professional, he knows what it means not to use his own interests to challenge other people's jobs.

The Eastern and Western Conference finals are still going on. Although the ratings have plummeted, the game still has to be played.

Perhaps it was because Ye Qingchen's announcement of retirement angered the entire Lakers team, so in the following games, they actually won three games in a row, and finally eliminated the Jazz with a big score of 4:1, taking the lead in reaching the finals. among.

As a former Lakers star, Ye Qingchen would appear on the sidelines in suits and ties whenever the Lakers played at home to cheer on his former teammates.

It is precisely because of Ye Qingchen's presence watching the game that every ticket for the Lakers' home games is sold out instantly, and the ratings of these games will also increase significantly.

Therefore, it turns out that Ye Qingchen has his own traffic, and even if he does not play basketball, he can still attract a lot of attention.

Looking back at the Eastern Conference finals, O'Neal's evolution has given the Magic a stronger strength, and it is impossible for the Bulls to eliminate the Magic in one go.

After six games, they tied at 3:3!The tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals is played at the home court of the Bulls!
This game finally regained the attention of many fans. After all, this is a tiebreaker.

I thought it was a battle of the century with Mars hitting the Earth, but it actually turned out to be a one-sided situation.

Because Danzi completely exploded in this game!
He entered the state from the beginning of the game and kept hitting shots from mid-range.

Even if the Magic double-teamed him crazily, they still couldn't stop Danzi. In his eyes, the basket was as wide as the ocean.

At halftime, Danzi had already scored 40 points, making 22 of 17 shots, directly leading the Bulls to a 15-point lead.

I thought that after halftime, the Magic would recover the score.

But the result is that they can't guard against Danzi at all, and Danzi's madness continues!

After three quarters, Danzi's personal score has reached 60 points, and the Bulls are already 30 points ahead of the Magic.

In just three quarters, the Bulls had already made this game lose suspense.

Finally, the game ended, and the score was fixed at 120:85!

The Chicago Bulls eliminated the Magic with a huge 35-point difference and met the Lakers in the Finals!
After the game, Danzi said in an interview with reporters:
"Obviously, they can't guard against me!"

"And today's Lakers can't guard me!"

"Because the current Lakers team is not a complete Lakers team at all!"

Danzi's words make it obvious that the Lakers without Ye Qingchen would be a weak team.

His remarks made the Lakers players very unhappy.

Although they are missing Ye Qingchen, they are still very strong. They also easily defeated the Jazz. They are definitely capable of defeating the Bulls.

So, the Chicago Bulls and Lakers met!
In the first game, Danzi scored 48 points and led his team to a 115:85 victory over the Lakers;
In the second game, Danzi scored 45 points and led his team to a 120:80 victory over the Lakers;
In the third game, Danzi scored 50 points again and led his team to a 125:95 victory over the Lakers:
In the fourth game, Danzi once again scored 64 points, a career playoff scoring high, defeating the Lakers 130:115!
The total score was 4:0, sweeping the Lakers and leading the team to win the championship!
Los Angeles was defeated by the Bulls in the Finals, a result that no one expected.

Chicago won the O'Brien Cup again after three years, and Danzi was undoubtedly elected as the MVP of the Finals.

However, after the series ended, when Danzi held two trophies and was interviewed by reporters, he said with a lonely look:

"This is not the finals I want. The Lakers can't guard me at all. I want to win the championship in front of him, but he has announced his retirement!"

"Come back! Ye, I need to fight you, and the alliance also needs your return!"

Under the watchful eyes of all American fans, Danzi directly shouted to Ye Qingchen, imploring him to come back.

Such a move instantly caused a sensation throughout the United States.

Indeed, as Danzi said, the Lakers without Ye Qingchen are really no match for the Bulls.

This year's Bulls team is also the strongest in history, so they can easily sweep the Lakers who lack Ye Qingchen.

It's just that although this championship was won, it always feels like it lacks some weight.

What they want is to defeat the Lakers team with Ye Qingchen, not the current Lakers team without Ye Qingchen.

Danzi didn't even participate in the post-match celebrations and left the arena directly.

What he is most depressed about now is why David Stern banned Ye Qingchen indefinitely, preventing him from meeting Ye Qingchen in the finals.

He worked hard for a whole season just to confront Ye Qingchen again in the finals, and then defeat him face to face and prove himself again.

Who knew that at the last moment, the alliance would do such a thing, which directly angered Ye Qingchen, causing him to announce his retirement on the spot.

"What stupid things do these guys do!"

Danzi threw the Finals MVP trophy aside and dialed Ye Qingchen's phone number.

Yes, of course Danzi has Ye Qingchen's contact information. This was obtained when they first met in the finals.

After getting Ye Qingchen's contact information, the two of them never called each other.

It seems that the two of them have the same tacit understanding, that is, whoever is the first to call the other party will lose.

Therefore, this tacit understanding has persisted to this day.

This time, Danzi couldn't hold himself any longer, he was really frustrated.

He hates David Stern for indefinitely suspending Ye Qingchen, and he hates Stockton for stepping on Ye Qingchen, so now he needs to vent his anger.

So he dialed Ye Qingchen's phone number!

"Which one?"

"It's me, Michael!"

"Oh, it turns out to be Michael. Congratulations, you defeated our Lakers and won the championship!"

"Damn it, why did you announce your retirement? Why did you break John's legs? Why can't you just endure it?"

"You know, I never put up with it!"

"But if you do this, you can't play, so why do you do it?"

"Is there a problem? I don't need another championship to prove myself, but you do. That's why David suspended me indefinitely!"

"Damn it, I don't want a championship like this. What I want is to defeat you in an honest way and win the championship!"

"It's too late! I've retired and I'm going to focus on my boxing career now!"

"Fuck! Are you really going to box? You're looking for death!"

"Yes, since you called me, let me tell you the news. Next week, I will have a boxing match with Bruce Selden. You should know that guy, right?"

"What? Are you crazy??? He is the intercontinental heavyweight boxing champion!" (End of Chapter)
