Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4
Chapter 369: Uproar, new king, challenge
After Du En completed the communication with the Bulls management, he did not immediately reveal the news of his retirement and the erection of the bronze statue with great fanfare.
Even the Bulls management kept silent for the time being and signed a confidentiality agreement.
After all, the championship parade has not yet started, and the local fans in Chicago are still in the joy of winning the championship.
If the news that Duan is about to retire spreads in the next few days, it will be known throughout the United States.
By then, not only will the Bulls become clowns, but local Chicago fans may also become angry and do something unexpected.
In addition, there are a lot of interests behind the championship parade.
The sponsors of the Chicago Bulls and some local businesses in Chicago all want a piece of the upcoming feast.
To put it bluntly, the championship parade is a business, and Doan's retirement is also a business.
The interests of the two must not conflict.
……
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the Bulls' championship parade was in full swing.
Because the host and reporters have been publicized in advance, no one will ask what Du En wants to do next.
In addition, no one mentioned the topic of three consecutive championships. Everyone was singing, dancing, cheering, and even drunk.
Until early July, the free market officially opened.
The Rockets took the lead in launching an offensive against the Bulls and poached Harden with a poisonous contract.
As Harden's parent team, the Bulls have no problem keeping Harden as long as they match the offer.
However, the Bulls are already ready to hold Duan's retirement ceremony, and the Bulls' salary space in the next few years is not very ideal.
In addition, the team management does not pay much attention to the team's performance in the next few years.
So there is absolutely no need to spend a lot of money to keep Harden, who seems to be a waste of time and a pity to abandon.
To be honest, Harden's status in the Bulls is not high, and his statistics are not outstanding. There is no way to compare with Curry, who is in the same class of the team and has become the third leader of the Bulls.
However, other team management can also see that the Bulls deliberately suppressed Harden and deliberately hid Harden during the regular season last season, resulting in Harden's data being very mediocre.
Considering that the rookies selected by the Bulls over the years have great potential, most of them can play well.
Although after leaving the Bulls, some stars who had been selected as All-Stars in the Bulls have declined to a certain extent, and few can be selected as All-Stars again.
There are even some unprogressive stars who, after winning the championship and big contracts, choose to be a loser and disappear into the public eye.
However, there is indeed nothing wrong with the talent of these players. Even if their abilities decline, there is still nothing wrong with being a normal starting player.
Looking at Harden again, although he has a championship, he has not proven his strength in the Bulls like Curry and Evans.
In addition, he has never received a big contract. Even if he has a big contract now, he only has a maximum salary of two years.
In this case, Harden most likely wants to work hard to prove himself in the new team.
The Rockets boss is notoriously stingy. If Harden can play well, then it would be best to spend a small amount of money to do big things.
If you can't type it out, it's not a big problem. It didn't cost much anyway.
Nowadays, the Rockets have a very good salary space. Anyway, if you have money, you can gamble. Instead of poaching corners from other teams, it is better to trust Du En's vision.
When a whale falls, all things are born.
Also after the Rockets took action against the Bulls, other teams in the league also followed suit.
As much as possible, he wanted to bite off pieces of meat from the remains of the bull, a super beast that suddenly collapsed, and have a good meal.
One thing to say is that NBA officials were naturally prepared for Duen's sudden retirement, and it can even be said that it was premeditated by them.
The management of the major teams also expected it and even helped behind it.
After joining the Bulls, Duan achieved six championships in nine years, which is a bit too scary.
Especially the Bulls' gameplay in recent years is too advanced, too scientific, and too impeccable!
With Duen as the cornerstone, we will continue to cultivate talented young players who dare to fight and fight to ensure the team's competitiveness.
If this continues, in the next three to five years, the Bulls will definitely monopolize the championship and make other teams become mere foils.
Some team executives even pessimistically believe that even Dunn, who is no longer at his peak, can assist young core players like Magic like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and win championships one after another.
In order to ensure the fairness of the championship game, everyone had to work together to fix the BUG of Dune.
Without Duan, the Bulls may still have the strength to reach the finals, but it may not be that easy to win the championship!
After all, Du En is a genius who can win seven championships in just ten years.
Although the teams that Du En plays for often become super teams, this does not negate Du En's efforts and Du En's influence on the court.
Speaking of which, outside media noticed that teams led by the Rockets were frantically going to the Bulls to poach people, and they gradually realized that something was wrong.
As the Bulls' second consecutive defending champion and a quasi-dynasty team that is about to win its third consecutive championship, shouldn't the offseason be about poaching as many people as possible and strengthening the team while maintaining its fundamentals?
The Bulls have won too many championships and are so hated. It is normal for them to be attacked by teams from all over the league.
But under normal circumstances, if the Bulls wanted to win three consecutive championships, they would definitely take action instead of remaining silent.
The most surprising thing is that some stars and veterans want to imitate Aldridge and Ray Allen, embrace Duan's lap, and realize their dream of receiving a championship ring. However, the Bulls management adopted a cold and indifferent attitude.
When such news reached the ears of the media, everyone naturally noticed something was wrong, and then began to use their imagination to make up some gossip.
The Bulls management also knew that the news could not be concealed, so they could only proactively cooperate with league officials to announce Duen's retirement and the Bulls would erect a bronze statue of Duen.
As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar both inside and outside the league.
If the media is just here to join in the fun, then it's a big deal for NBA players who want to win the championship and have a stake in it!
The players were not mentally prepared at all for Duen's retirement.
Everyone thought that Dune would continue to fight with the Bulls in the next year, win the championship, once again establish the Bulls dynasty with three consecutive championships, and achieve Duen's reputation as the first man in history!
Now that I suddenly got such news, I was shocked and unbelievable at first. After confirming the news, I was ecstatic.
For a time, stars across the league were connecting with each other!
If you don't fight for the championship, you'd rather die!
All I can say is that everyone laughs at James and everyone is James.
Duan bids farewell to the NBA stage, and all stars who want to compete for the championship have returned to the same starting line.
Because Olajuwon recruited helpers to win his second consecutive championship while Jordan was away, and the Lakers took advantage of the Bulls' rebuilding period to continuously recruit helpers for Kobe and also won their second consecutive championship.
Some stars in big cities undoubtedly have the conditions and possibilities to replicate the success of Olajuwon and Kobe.
Of course, the closest ones are Durant and Westbrook. Like Kobe, they lost to Duan twice, but they did dominate the Western Conference for two years.
Now that the Bulls have made it clear that they will not make reinforcements, next year's Western Conference champion will most likely be the league's championship!
This was also the case when Kobe and the Lakers were able to win their second consecutive championship.
Although Durant really wants to defeat Duan head-on and become the number one player in the league.
But if there is an opportunity for him to win the championship one day earlier, he will not refuse it.
Ever since, Durant started calling other stars and management early, making it clear that the team would apply for a trade without reinforcements.
Even Durant's agent privately revealed that he is willing to play for the Chicago Bulls...
Durant is like this, and stars from other teams are naturally not far behind.
Even James, who was far away on the south coast and had already completed the grouping, had new ideas.
As the saying goes, one move affects the whole body!
After Duan retired, this year's free market suddenly went into chaos.
Capable stars were invited to teams in big cities and played brotherly basketball with other stars they were not familiar with.
In order to stabilize their own stars, some teams in small cities have to increase their investment in the new season and are forced to join the championship sequence.
For a time, North American media reporters reported the news of the star changing teams.
On the other side of the ocean, Du En, who has returned, has also been bombarded with a large number of phone calls and text messages, and has been harassed by domestic and foreign reporters.
Being at the center of public opinion, Du En was very calm and did not reveal any secrets or thoughts about retirement to the public.
Du En only selectively consumed some traffic, accepted invitations from some TV stations, participated in some interviews, variety shows, and endorsed some products.
Then he took this money and his savings over the years to invest in some industries.
It wasn't until more than two months later that all the major NBA teams had done a good job in strengthening the team, and Duan's side settled down.
Duan himself has also adjusted his condition and gradually devoted himself to plans and work that will contribute to the future of men's basketball and even domestic sports.
The happy time passed more pleasantly, Du En's ability was undoubted, and it soon reached the stage of fruition.
During this period, Doane traveled to Chicago to attend the unveiling of his own statue.
As well as the opening ceremony of the NBA 13-14 season, the Bulls championship ring presentation ceremony and the championship flag raising ceremony, they received their seventh championship.
It is worth mentioning that in the new season, the Bulls have established that Curry, who was selected by themselves and has a good reputation, is the head of the team.
Although Aldridge was not demoted, he still took a back seat and provided a stage for Ibaka, George, Kawhi and others.
However, the Bulls management obviously thought too simply. Aldridge has a big contract and a championship ring. The Bulls treat him as an outsider and don't pay attention to his needs, so he naturally won't make a big effort.
When there are people in the Bulls who are not working hard, and there are people who want to increase their numbers and get bigger contracts, the team has different demands, and the team's record naturally becomes unstable.
Before the All-Star voting was announced, the Bulls were forced to make some trades to get rid of Aldridge, who played healthy basketball, and Butler, who wanted to be the boss and constantly criticized his teammates for infighting.
The Bulls eliminated the civil strife by killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, but it also reduced the team's overall strength.
Of course, Curry was rashly appointed as the boss of the team. He didn't know where to start, so he could only play as hard as possible.
As a result, in the second round of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference semifinals, he fell down with an injury because he worked too hard, ending the playoffs early.
However, the Bulls still relied on their overall strength and the super forward group formed by forward players such as George, Kawhi, and Ibaka to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the end, the Heat's Big Three relied on exchanging injuries for lives, eliminating George and Kawhi one after another, and finally advanced to the finals with difficulty 4-3.
And Green, who is only in his second year with the Bulls, also fully demonstrated the bad boy temperament he learned from the Pistons Bad Boys since childhood in this Eastern Conference Finals series, destroying Bosh and Haslem.
In this way, the team that reaches the finals from the Western Conference will undoubtedly gain a fisherman's advantage.
Relying on last summer's recruitment and continuous reinforcement, most of the stars and veterans who were originally planning to join the Bulls were acquired by the Thunder.
Durant finally reaped the dividends of the era when Durn retired and the Heat's Big Three were left with only defeated troops. He won the championship and won the championship he dreamed of.
And Durant, who won the championship and was unparalleled in the limelight, also expressed his intention to join the Dream Team and strive to defeat Durant in the next Men's Basketball World Cup! (End of chapter)
