The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 362 Postscript 2
"So reckless, what are you doing?"

Now Westbrook has retired for almost 10 years, and is currently mainly working on his own fashion brand.

Logically speaking, he should be called Mr. Westbrook, but the fans still affectionately call him Westbrook.

It seems that in the eyes of the fans, he is still the boy who looks like a raging fire!
In contrast, Giannis has not retired yet, but he is on the verge of retiring now that he is nearly 40 years old. He is currently recuperating due to injuries this season, so he can come to Li Pu's jersey retirement ceremony.

"Uncle Russell, Noah and I just finished the race, and we were worried that we wouldn't have time to put on makeup, so we ran two quick steps!"

Noah was a little afraid of his father, but Li Xi, not only was not afraid of Westbrook, but was very kind to him.

The same goes for Westbrook, who was still glaring at Noah just now, but when he saw Li Xi, he immediately changed his face.

It's strange to say that Wei Shao obviously likes to fight each other when he is with Li Pu, but when he faces Li Xique, he looks completely kind.

"Okay, then you two, put on your make-up! It just so happens that Giannis and I have already finished, and we are going to meet our old friends in front!"

"Old friend, are there many people here today?"

"Of course, today is your father's important day, and they will all be here!"

"Really? Then I'll go see you!"

After speaking, Westbrook and Giannis left first. Li Xi and Noah started to put on makeup. After 20 minutes, they put on handsome suits and combed their hair to look like adults, and came to the lounge of the arena.

Sure enough, as Westbrook said, Li Xi did meet many "old acquaintances" here.

At this time, Durant was still skinny, Curry was still baby-faced, and Harden was still bearded.

Whether it was Li Pu's former teammates or enemies, everyone gathered together at this time, talking and laughing.

"Hi, Prince?"

"Yo, the protagonist is here?"

"I'm thinner, I'm afraid it's not for participating in the ceremony. Is it a sudden weight loss recently?"

In the eyes of everyone, a tall man walked into the lounge, wearing an improved black custom-made suit, walking with steady steps, and almost instantly became the center of the place.

Li Pu, the best NBA player since the 20th century, finally appeared!

"Hai brother!"

Although Li Pu is 42 years old this year, he may have inherited the anti-aging genes of Asians. The years do not seem to have left any special marks on his face. His appearance has not changed much from when he was young, and at most he has a more mature and handsome appearance.

After greeting the old friends one by one, another group of people came to Li Pu and lined up to greet him. They were the current active players of the Kings.

"Hi Prince, congratulations!"

The leader is now the active core of the Kings, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. After he was selected by the Kings with the 2018th overall pick in the first round in 10, he has stayed with the Kings. The 34-year-old veteran.

After Giannis, Butler, Bledsoe and other three consecutive championship players left the Kings, he became Li Pu's most important helper in the Kings during the post-consecutive championship period.

With Li Pu's retirement last year, Alexander officially became the real boss of this Kings team. He currently leads the Kings team to rank sixth in the Western Conference. It seems that the playoffs can be stabilized, but it is very difficult to compete for the championship.

Since Li Pu lost his predictive ability ten years ago, the quality of the team's rookies has continued to decline. Although many good candidates can still be selected, they want to use the second-round lottery to pick up the MVP as before. Behavior is almost impossible!
Therefore, in the past five years, the record of the Kings has always been poor.
"You too, do your best!"

Li Pu said this sentence not only to Alexander, but also to the other players of the team, "Meaty Curry" Bain, Jaylen Williams and other main players.

After greeting everyone, it was not until the end that Li Pu came over to greet Li Xi.

"Win the game?"

"Of course!" Li Xi said proudly.

"It's good, but it's a pity. I wanted to wait for you to enter the league, just like LeBron and Bronny. Unfortunately, I can't wait. From now on, I will rely on you to enter the league!"

"Of course, I can't be under your protection forever, what's more, I'm not alone, I still have my friends!"

With that said, Li Xi glanced at Noah who was beside him. Seeing this, Noah immediately puffed up his chest.

"Hahaha, very good, I hope you two can come to the king in the end!"

"Sorry, Uncle Prince, I still want to go to Thunderclap!"

Noah on the side spoke at this moment.

Li Pu was slightly stunned, as if he was recalling his life in Lei Ting, so he smiled and said: "That's right, Lei Ting is also very good!"

After greeting everyone, Li Pu was about to leave for the venue. He still had to rehearse, prepare drafts and other work, so he didn't have time to waste too much time here!
Time passed, until the audience began to enter.

Since the fans knew that today was the retirement ceremony of Li Pu's jersey before the game, the ticket price was very high, but the high ticket price still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the fans.

Even before the ceremony started, the scene was already packed with Saskatchewan fans.

As Li Pu's family members, Li Xi and An Jiali sat on the side seats.

At this time, I saw the lights of the whole court pressed down, and the familiar voice of the arena commentary sounded again: "Now, there is a big man on the court! He is 7 feet 3 inches tall, from the Sacramento Kings in California, he He is the team's historical scoring leader, historical rebounding leader, and historical blocking leader. He has won 20 All-Stars, 15 First Teams, 4 MVPs, 7 championships, and 6 FMVPs. He wears the No. 88 jersey. Greatest player on the Kings -- Prince, Lee~~"

Almost instantly, when the lights shone on the center of the field and Li Pu's figure appeared, the scene erupted into loud cheers.

Li Pu held the microphone and waved to the surroundings.

"Thank you all for loving me, and I love you too!
I still remember when I first came to the Kings, I said that I would bring you championships, not one, not two, but the five championships I brought now, are you still satisfied? "

"satisfy!"

Almost instantly, the fans burst into wild shouts and thunderous applause.

After the applause gradually fell, Li Pu continued: "I am very happy to be able to do something for this community and this city, I was like this back then, and I am like this now.

Although my identity has changed, my love for you has never changed!

Finally, what I want to say is, Prince, out! "

The moment he almost finished speaking, a black curtain was drawn above the Golden No. 88 arena, and a No. [-] Kings jersey was hanging there.

This represents the end of a legend and the end of a story.
