He just played basketball and became the chosen one...

Chapter 155: Shocking two consecutive transactions!Will the Nuggets turn around or be completely destroyed?
Michael Jordan was invited to participate in the production of Ryan's documentary, and the filming team made an appointment with him and went to his villa in Charlotte.
Although this villa in Charlotte is not as grand as the most famous Villa 23 in Chicago, it is still magnificent.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a 1:1 sculpture of Ryan in the garden in front of the villa!
The sculpture shows Ryan with his arms outstretched to defend, very much like the little man on the Best Defensive Player Trophy.
Every muscle on the statue's body is like a carefully carved work of art, both dynamic and full of life.The head is raised gracefully, and the facial lines are clear and delicate.
What is worth noting is the sculpted hair, which is carved to the smallest detail, as if each hair has its own independent life and texture.
Although because the statue is wearing shorts, it is not sure whether Jordan has restored the details of each head one to one.
It can be seen that Jordan did not fool around with things and paid a lot for this sculpture.
After all, if this thing is made more exquisitely, it can be sold as a piece of art in the future.
Jordan only agreed to build a sculpture for Ryan, but he didn’t say that it had to be placed in his yard for the rest of his life.
As for how much it can be sold for?
Even rubber dolls can be sold for two to three thousand. As long as a sculpture like Lane meets an interested buyer, the price will definitely be very scary!
I will never make a loss-making transaction!
When Jordan saw this sculpture now, he was angry and laughing at the same time.
And this sculpture can be regarded as proof that Ryan even defeated Jordan, and it is one of Ryan's honors.
In the basketball circle, this matter will definitely be spread forever like "The future is yours".
After the production team photographed this exquisite sculpture, they turned the camera on Jordan:
"Mike, the story behind this sculpture must be very unforgettable for you, right?"
Jordan smiled and shook his head: "That is, I will never forget it in my life! Well, this is indeed incredible! We won all the regular season + playoffs at home in a single season, and the Pepsi Center did not lose for a whole year. This is indeed incredible. "
"Since such an incredible thing has happened, do you think Ryan can win three consecutive championships?"
After being asked this question, Jordan paused and recalled the prosperous years of more than ten years ago.
"Three consecutive championships is not easy. This is not just a casual talk. It is hard for you to imagine the price you have to pay for this.
Tests from the outside world, tests within the team, and tests within oneself
It’s indescribably tough, but with Ryan’s words, who knows? "
After speaking, Jordan smiled meaningfully.
Everyone on the production team was surprised by Jordan's reaction. According to the old gangster's usual character, he would probably ridicule with disdain: "Three consecutive championships? Are you kidding me? Unless Ryan goes to find Shaq's grandma to team up, it's simply impossible. After all, , not everyone is called Basketball Jesus.”
But this time, Jordan did not deny the possibility of Ryan winning three consecutive championships.
The director immediately decided that if the three consecutive championships really happened, he would put this interview with Jordan at the beginning of the movie!
Because the God of Basketball seems to have seen through the truth of the destiny of this era in advance!
However, it is indeed very difficult for Ryan to achieve three consecutive championships.
Originally, the birth of the Celtics' Big Three was a waste, but now Nene has been cut off from Yongzhi and will be reimbursed for the season ahead of schedule.
This undoubtedly casts another shadow on the Nuggets' three consecutive championship prospects.
Some unscrupulous Boston fans are teasing on the Internet that Nene will have to be separated from others next season and use a separate locker room.Because after cutting, estrogen will surge, which may lead to the development of inner breasts.
Maybe he can surpass Daddario in one fell swoop!
Don't be surprised, Boston is a model city of civilization in the United States, and the quality of its fans is like this.
Bill Russell found Boston fans defecating on the roof of his car more than once that year.
Now, if you joke about Nene's cancer, it's considered mild.
The season hasn't even started yet, but Boston fans have already made the Nuggets and Celtics very angry.
After losing Nene, the Nuggets will probably have to use Birdman to play the starting four position next season, or the starting center when the speed increases.
But after all, the Birds don't have Nene's shooting and passing skills, and the offensive end is definitely not as useful as Nene.
As for Millsap, he has not fully grown up in his second year and is not yet able to serve as the starting four position for a championship team.
Therefore, Nene's absence still has a great impact on the Nuggets.
Ryan had already reminded Nene to pay attention to routine physical examinations.
However, no problem was found during previous inspections.
There is no way, this is probably Nene's destiny.
The difficulty of the Nuggets winning three consecutive championships has indeed become greater, but it is not hopeless.
Ryan was not depressed because of Nene's season reimbursement, and quickly formed this year's Morningside Club.
But this year, most of the people Ryan invited were teammates from the same team.
Kobe decided to train alone this year, and Wade was not very motivated in the summer because the team's plan for next season is not good.
As for Anthony, he has been lazy in the past few years since Ryan was not with him, and also declined Ryan's training invitation.
Besides, Brother Gua still has a lot of social matters to deal with, so he doesn’t have the time to play basketball.
Therefore, Ryan could only invite some teammates from the same team to train together.
The only two outsiders this year are Harris, a Lane University teammate who decided to join the club.
And Ben Wallace, who fought with Ryan in the finals last season!
Although Ben is old, his championship heart is still burning.
Men, their desire for lust and winning will not decrease as they age.
Although Ben is 33 years old, he is not young as an athlete.
But he still wants to work hard to win a championship.
And recently, rumors about the transfer of Ben have been flying everywhere.So if Ben doesn't push himself hard, he will always have random thoughts.
Will it be traded and where will it be traded?These things are beyond our control.
But maintaining form is one of the few things that Ben can control himself.
Big Ben also bluntly said after entering the training camp: "Ryan, teach me to attack!"
Lane: .
You might as well ask me to build rockets!
Ben knew that Ryan's offensive methods were not rich at the beginning.When he first entered the league, apart from making mid-range shots without the ball, he could only break through and hit the frame.
But Ryan's progress on the offensive end over the years has been huge.
Big Ben believes that Ryan must have a special training method.
Of course, Ben also knows that he is 33 years old and his potential is gone.
But he does not seek qualitative changes, nor does he seek to develop the footsteps of Olajuwon and Ajan.
As long as I can learn how to shoot!
Ryan's shooting is so accurate. If I practice according to his shooting posture, at least my free throw shooting rate will not be more than 40%, right?
But after studying for a period of time, Daben discovered.
As expected, I am better at "keeping the basketball out of the basket"!
Ryan can finally see that Ben is really a basketball prodigy who has only been seen in decades!
Other NBA players have terrible shooting percentages when there is no confrontation or defense.
Including Howard.
But Ben, he is one of the few NBA players whose shooting percentage is still unstable without confrontation and defense!
Just looking at the shooting, you would think that Ben was playing basketball!
Although he did not learn to shoot, during his time at Chenxi Club, Ben still strengthened his physical training with the help of the trainer.
In the original history, it was precisely because of repeated injuries in the 07-08 season that Ben completely fell off a cliff.
Although the training at Chenxi Club cannot reverse his growth, it can at least make his decline a little gentler.
You won’t hit rock bottom in an instant.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, Ben felt that he and Ryan were quite compatible.
Because Ryan is also the kind of person who doesn't give up easily once he sets a goal.
He has obviously won two consecutive championships and is already the highest-paid player in the league.
But he works harder than [-]% of people.
In order to achieve his dream of being ranked first on the Forbes list, Ryan is the first to come and the last to leave every day.
Even if no one is optimistic about it, Ryan still works hard.
This made Daben seem to see himself back then.
The most important thing is that Ben feels that Ryan is not hypocritical!
A few days ago, Ben discovered that Ryan liked to read a book when he had nothing to do. When Ben asked him about the content of the book, Ryan answered naturally.
and expressed his own opinions.
It’s not like someone posing crazily while reading a book.When the reporter asked about the content, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't tell.
And if you look closely at the photos of him reading books, you will find that he is basically looking at the title page!
The key is that it's not a shortcoming that you don't like to read. As a basketball player, who cares whether you like to read or not? Just play well and look good.
Others will not respect you just because you pretend to be tall and knowledgeable.
But since you don’t like watching it, don’t always use this character to promote it!
Before getting along with Ryan, Ben didn't know that a killer actress like Ryan actually liked reading.
Because Ryan never deliberately promoted this.
He thought that Ryan's daily life consisted of practicing on the training ground and then on the bed with female celebrities.
Ryan's authenticity made Ben's affection for him soar.
Da Ben is now like a 33-year-old young woman who has no interest in life, but is fascinated by a handsome guy outside.
It makes me upset when I think about going home and facing the fact that I can't do anything well!
A happy affair with Ben, ah no, the happy training time passed quickly.
At the end of this year's Dawn Club, Ben was full of reluctance.
But Ryan couldn’t be happier!
It’s time again for the annual rewards settlement!
For this year’s training trait rewards, Ryan chose the rewards from Harris and Big Ben.
Harris' rewards are still the same, +3 for passing and +3 for dribbling.
After calculation, Ryan's dribbling attribute finally reached 70, reaching 71.
The passing attribute is also 73.
Ryan still can't be a serious ball-handling attacker, but at least he doesn't have to worry too much about being kicked out when sprinting in a straight line.
And from Big Ben, Ryan drew a "iron wall" trait.
Although this trait is not as perverted as Garnett's, it can increase all defensive attributes by +4.
But this characteristic of Big Ben still allowed Ryan to receive rewards of +4 for pass steals, +5 for rebound prediction, and +6 for block prediction!
456 straight, the card is not small!
After installing this trait, Ryan's pass-stealing attribute reaches 75, and his rebound prediction attribute reaches 77.
The block prediction is stuck at the 80 threshold!
Originally, Ryan's shot-blocking ability has always been good thanks to his abnormal wingspan and bullet speed.
Now that the block prediction attribute has reached the 80s, the number of blocks will inevitably increase greatly.At the same time, the number of fouls will actually decrease.
Overall, Ryan's defensive ability has been further strengthened!
Next season, Ryan can't say he can easily break through the defense of the Celtics' Big Three.
But the Celtics' Big Three don't even think about scoring easily in Denver!
In addition, Lane's annual system upgrade also arrived on time.
However, the luck of the upgrade lottery this time was average. Only 6 skill points were awarded in the four lottery packages.
But it's normal. Ryan can't be so European every time he draws.
What's more, this time I don't have an Italian pussy with me.
Because finishing and defensive attributes cannot be freely added, Ryan also gave these 6 skill points to dribbling.
Increased dribbling to 77!
This time, Ryan's combination of throwing and attacking will undoubtedly be smoother!
At least he won't hit his crotch when dribbling, nor will he be thrown to teammates who are flanked because he can't dribble at the critical moment.
This wave of upgrades before the start of the new season every year makes Ryan full of confidence.
After his strength has improved a lot, Ryan feels that defeating the Big Three shouldn't be a big problem!
Because the new season training camp is about to begin, various topics about the new season have become popular again.
Among them, what the players talk about most is the comparison between the Celtics' Big Three and the defending champion Nuggets.
It is generally believed that it is unlikely that the Big Three will beat the Nuggets 4-0.
But defeating the Nuggets is still very possible!
The schedule for the new season has also been released, and David Stern naturally did not waste this hot spot.
The grand finale of the opening night of the new season is the Nuggets VS Celtics!
The first three golden games must be properly arranged for the fans!
Boston fans are ecstatic because their team has the opportunity to prove that they can defeat the defending champion in the first game of the new season!
But Ben never expected that the dispute between the Celtics and Nuggets would actually allow Cleveland fans to take advantage of him!
During this time, Cleveland fans were very unfriendly to Ben.
On the first day of the training camp, there were many fans outside the stadium holding signs with various contents related to Ben.
However, none of them are positive.
"Trade Ben Wallace"!
"Fake Defensive Player of the Year!"
"What's the use of locking up salary space for a max-salary player like this who can't score?"
"If we don't trade him, how can we beat the Celtics and Nuggets?"
The reaction of Cleveland fans is normal. James fans generally feel that losing games is often the fault of their teammates.
How could the invincible little emperor be wrong?If you lose, it’s all your teammates’ fault!
Indeed, James had 8 points in a single game and 9 turnovers in a single game in last year's finals.
But he is only a minor liability at best!
Although he made mistakes, made mistakes, and was beaten, he is still a good player!
How can you blame him?
James can be forgiven for being the second culprit, but Ben, the main culprit, must deal with him!
Seeing the Celtics' Big Three taking shape next door, Cavaliers fans also hope for a real star to assist James.
Otherwise, this lineup on paper is really too shabby.
But because James also started executing the maximum salary contract this year, the Cavaliers' space is directly locked.
If you want a star to join you, you have to change your budget.
Or find a way to use him for air and free up salary space.
Or find a way to directly trade him for another star!
Ben was sitting in his pickup truck, looking at the fans holding signs and yelling at him, and his heart was filled with despair.
The one who fought hardest in last season’s finals was obviously me!
But now we end up with everyone shouting and beating?
I really shouldn't have come to Cleveland in the first place!
This place is so magical!
Before Big Ben joined, the Cavaliers could not even win the Finals, let alone win the championship.
Big Ben's arrival brought the team to a higher level, but the fans wanted him to leave.
Everyone is convinced, but who has the greatest responsibility in the finals? You really don’t have a clue, right?
There is no way, Ben's conflict with James on the court is very unpopular in Cleveland.
Most fans turned against him.
Big Ben sighed. Although there were rumors about him being traded all summer, he really didn't think it mattered at first.
But seeing the fans like this, Ben was still a little chilled.
He didn't even know why he was working so hard at Morningside Club.
The new season hasn't even started yet, but Ben has already been dealt a blow.
My heart is almost gone.
As for the Nuggets, the new season training camp is not going well either.
Because the training camp only started for three days, the Nuggets reimbursed another one!
This time it was Webb, whose riddled knees finally gave out.
In the original history, Weber was already sick last season.
In this history, because he took off the burden early and became a role player, and Bird also used it with extra caution, this allowed him to last until he won the championship last season.
But Weber's age and physical condition are here after all. No matter how careful he is, what is supposed to come will still come.
An old car that has been driven for more than ten years will loosen up no matter how carefully you maintain it.
The screws will also become loose.
This produces various "crunching" noises.
I thought that Nene's reimbursement for the season was rough enough, but I didn't expect that the two starting insiders would be reimbursed as a team.
Kirilenko, an avid fan of Warcraft, joked: "It's over, Nene and Weber will surpass me in level next."
Weber is quite optimistic. He came to the Nuggets and gained two rings. He feels that he has no regrets in his career.
Now that he is old enough, he has already been mentally prepared for such a thing as being reimbursed for the season.
But what he feels guilty about is that he can't play and still has to occupy a maximum salary spot.
This is undoubtedly a huge harm to the team.
In the NBA, if a player with a guaranteed contract is laid off, his salary must be paid, and he must also occupy salary space before the end of the contract.
Is there any way to lay off people without taking up salary space?Of course there are.
Because the Knicks' previous series of brainless operations allowed them to pile up a series of junk contracts and almost kill themselves, the league introduced the "amnesty clause" in 2005.
When a player is fired using the amnesty clause, his remaining salary must still be paid.
But his salary does not need to be counted in the salary cap!
Each team has the right to use the amnesty clause once per season.
If possible, Weber would be willing to be pardoned.
While being fired sounds terrible, it's also an unseemly way to end your career.
But he really doesn't want to delay Ryan's pursuit of three consecutive championships.
However, because Ryan has also begun to implement the maximum salary contract this season, even if Webb is amnesty, the Nuggets still have no salary space to strengthen.
Besides, the season is about to start, and there are no big fish in the free agent market.
At this time, even if there is salary space, there is no one to sign.
The new season hasn't even started yet, and the Nuggets have two people lying around.
Bird felt stupid. He had long expected that it would be difficult to win three consecutive championships, but he didn't expect that it would be hellish difficulty from the beginning.
Although Webber struggled to score at the beginning of last season, his passing is the lubricant of the Nuggets' offense after all.
There was a period of time last season when Webber was away, and Bird used Kirilenko to go to the low post to solve the problem of no passing points in the low post.
But this trick is not applicable to all teams.
As for Ryan, although he improved a lot last season with the ball, he is still generally a player with a high assist rate.
Without Webber, Lane's offense will suffer.
Ryan also helplessly spread his hands at the press conference:
"The road to a dynasty is bound to be difficult."
All Ryan can do now is continue to temper himself.
Now my dribbling attribute is at least 77, so I should be able to reduce my assist rate and focus more on personal offense.
Bird did not sit still and wait for death. In fact, he was doing various emergency measures from the first day after winning the championship.
For such a big undertaking as three consecutive championships, it is impossible for Bird to have no ability to resist risks at all.
At the same time, various news have revealed that the Cleveland Cavaliers are approaching Bucks star Michael Reid!
The Cavaliers actually wanted to get Reid as early as the summer of 2005, but at the time Reid was unwilling to play second fiddle to James, so he ultimately chose to stay in Milwaukee.
But now, it's up to Reed to go to Cleveland.
The Bucks also want to get rid of Reid because they are determined to rebuild.Although Reed averaged 26.7 points per game last season, he only played 53 games due to injury.
Obviously, even if he returns from injury this season and is still a top scorer, he will not be the future of the Bucks.
The Bucks are now also preparing to take the path of "trusting the process."
Next year is unanimously considered by the media to be a big draft year. Talents such as Rose, Beasley and Mayo may change the destiny of a team.
The Bucks are absolutely willing to defend for them!
The Cavaliers did contact the Bucks, but the Bucks did not want to take over Big Ben.
Ben's contract is shorter than Reid's, but it doesn't expire until 2009.
As a small team, the Bucks don't want to raise two years of max-salary players in vain.
The ideal trade target for the Bucks is a team that allows them to free up salary space.
Just like that, the transaction was temporarily frozen.
Daben's heart froze.
No one can play in peace while being mired in trade rumors before the season.
The two teams that reached the finals last season were in their own troubles for a while.
Danny Ainge is laughing so hard. The Cavaliers are in chaos now, and the Nuggets are full of wounded soldiers.
For me, Lukai, this is not equivalent to picking up something ready-made!
I'm so fucking great!
Amid this chaotic situation, the Nuggets entered the preseason.
In the preseason, the impact of Webber's absence was obvious.
The Nuggets' off-ball offense has become a lot more jerky and less smooth.
Of course, what is gratifying is that Ryan's singles with the ball has improved a lot.
Ryan, who used to only be able to run in a straight line, can now do tricks like sudden changes of direction.
In the end, the Nuggets still maintained an undefeated record in the preseason.
It seems that this team still has the strength to win three consecutive championships.
However, the opening game of the new season made Nuggets fans shut down.
Because in the opening game, the defending champion Nuggets actually lost to the Celtics at home by 14 points!
Although the Celtics used half of the team to make trades this summer, what is surprising is that they seem to have a very high chemical reaction without any need for running-in!
As for the Nuggets, even without Webber, they actually wouldn't lose so much.
But the key is that Kirilenko strained his thigh halfway through the first quarter of the opening game!
Because of two consecutive seasons of high-intensity fighting, this summer they also worked hard to win the European Championship.
Therefore, when the team doctor evaluated before the game, he said that Kirilenko had a moderate risk of injury.
It was also because of this that Ryan deliberately didn't call him when he opened the Dawn Club this year.
Bird also decided to reduce his playing time.
Who knew it all happened so quickly.
So this game is equivalent to Ryan alone VS the Big Three.
Facing the Celtics' terrifying defense, the Nuggets eventually lost.
As the defending champion, they lost by 14 points in the opening game. It has to be said that this is the Nuggets' worst start in recent seasons.
After the game, Kevin Garnett was very excited as he got his revenge.
Although many years have passed, he has not forgotten the shame of being hacked by Ryan!
At the press conference, KG, who finally returned to being the Wolf King from the Huskies, spoke loudly:
"If the Nuggets play in the finals again, we can even receive the award in advance!"
On the Nuggets side, reporters thought Ryan would be frustrated.
After all, the Nuggets started five players last season, and now three of them are injured!
What a disaster!
Who else wouldn't be frustrated when something like this happens?
If you encounter this situation while playing 2K Dynasty mode, you will probably scold your mother and start a new game.
Although Kirilenko is not directly reimbursed for the season like Weber and Nene, it is estimated that he will not be able to play a few games.
Because just now Kirilenko couldn't even stand up on his own and looked seriously injured.
But when reporters saw Ryan, the two-time MVP's eyes were still determined:
"No difficulty can stop our determination to pursue three consecutive championships!"
Next to Ryan, Larry Bird looked worried.
People rarely see this kind of expression on Bird's face. It's also true that he is probably thinking about breaking his head just to strengthen himself.
Although Ryan's answer was confident and decisive, some reporters still felt that he was just being tough:
"Ryan, the past two months must have been very uncomfortable for you, right?
First, Nene was diagnosed with cancer, and then Weber was injured.
Now, even the AK47, which is still in good condition, has exploded.
Today's opening game also lost by 14 points.
The team has undoubtedly hit rock bottom.
Ryan, are you really confident about this season? "
Ryan shook his head: "Who said we have hit rock bottom? We did have an embarrassing loss today, but we will come back!"
Ryan's words were directly laughed at by the crowd.
That night, the hosts, including Barkley, felt that the Nuggets' road to three consecutive championships was over.
Buckley put it mildly:
"Ryan is still young! He still has a chance to win three consecutive championships!
Don’t forget, when Jordan was this age, he had never even played in the finals! "
The implication is that it is impossible for Ryan to win three consecutive championships now!
In the evening, Ryan watched the program on TV and the overwhelming cheers of Boston fans online, and curled his lips.
It’s really frustrating to lose the opening match like this!
Now that the starting lineup is not available, it is indeed difficult for the team to make a difference.
But the reason why Ryan was so confident just now is because Bird has been working on solving the lineup problem!
The new season hasn't even started yet, and Bird has been working hard.
It's just that this problem cannot be solved in a day or two, it will take a period of time.
Therefore, until the opening game, the lineup problem still exists.
But Bird told Ryan that he would get the answer about whether the deal can go through tonight!
If Bird's plan can be successfully implemented, then the team may be able to continue its goal of three consecutive championships!
So after the game, Ryan stayed with Bird in his office.
Waiting for transaction results.
Until 01:30 in the morning, there was still no news from Bird.Ryan couldn't stand it any longer and was ready to go home and sleep.
But at this moment, Bird's cell phone rang!
Bird and Lane looked at each other, then answered the phone.
"Hello? Really? Okay."
After a few simple replies, Bird hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
Then came the second phone call.
Just like before, Bird simply answered a few words.
Then, Bird looked at Ryan with a solemn expression:
"Tomorrow, the whole world will be obsessed with our team!"
The next day, Daben woke up from bed in a daze.
As expected, the Cavaliers lost the opening game yesterday.
Facing the Raptors led by Anthony, the Cavaliers, as the Eastern Conference champion last season, actually lost by 8 points.
Big Ben himself only scored 6 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block.
He admitted that he did not do his best and his performance was not good.
It's not that he wants to be lazy, but that he can't find a reason to work hard.
The trade rumors again and again, the fans' insults again and again, all these make Ben find no reason to work hard for the team.
In Cleveland, he really couldn't work hard.
After heating a glass of milk, Ben sat at the dining table and turned on the TV to watch the morning sports news.
ESPN is broadcasting yesterday's 14-point defeat of the Nuggets.
As the news continued to play, the host seemed to hear something in the headset and frowned.
Then, his expression became serious: "Ladies and gentlemen, the latest news just received!"
Then, Daben also saw his own avatar on TV.
Daben was confused, what's going on?What urgent news?
Why are my photos on TV?
At the same time, Daben's cell phone started ringing wildly.
The caller ID showed a call from his agent.
At that moment, Ben quickly realized that he had probably been traded!
Although he knew that he would leave Cleveland sooner or later, the news was still too sudden.
I didn't hear anything last night.
Where did I get traded?
Before Ben could answer the phone, he heard the host say:
“This morning, the league officially approved the three-way trade between the Bucks, Cavaliers and Nuggets!
The Bucks sent Michael Reed to the Cavaliers, and the combination of James and Reed became a reality!
And Ben Wallace is going to his opponent in the finals!
That's right, DPOY became a Denver Miner last season! "
Big Ben's head was buzzing, I was traded.
Denver Nuggets! ?
Big Ben, whose CPU was burned directly, even forgot to answer the phone.
At the same time, the details of the transaction were being discussed on TV.
The Nuggets sent Webber to Milwaukee, the Bucks sent Reed to the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers sent Ben to the Nuggets.
The three-point trade is the exchange of these three players.
The Bucks originally wanted to get rid of Reid, but the big contract was too long and they didn't want to spend the money, so the deal has been shelved.
But the addition of the Nuggets made the Bucks excited!
The Nuggets are willing to offer Webber. Webber's contract only has one year left and will expire at the end of the season.
In addition, Webb also agreed to the amnesty agreement and agreed to the Bucks amnesty in the form of installment payments.
It's equivalent to the Bucks not only getting rid of Reed, but also saving money!You know, Reid's contract does not expire until 11 years!
As for the Nuggets, although Reid has a strong scoring ability, Bird does not want an offensive outsider.
According to his thinking, what he needs now is exactly a defensive inside man.As for the vacancy left after Kirilenko's injury on the outside, Bird has other ideas!
The Cavaliers finally got the Reed they longed for!The whole city cheered!
Of course, the Cavaliers didn't want to send big money to the Nuggets at first.
After all, they are opponents in the finals, and it is impossible to strengthen the opponent.
The Cavaliers knew that the Nuggets were in desperate need of a center after Nene and Webber were injured.
The more your opponent needs something, the less you can give it to him!
Because of this, the deal was delayed for so long, and there was still no progress until the new season started.
But why did the Cavaliers agree last night?
Because the AK47 was also injured!And Daben’s condition is in a mess!
The Cavaliers are thinking that without AK, there shouldn't be any problem if they give the Nuggets a big budget when their condition declines, right?
The Nuggets' strength improvement in this transaction is limited.But what the Cavaliers can get is a truly All-Star-level outside scorer!
This is what the Cavaliers have always dreamed of!
In this way, the Cavaliers finally relented and agreed to this three-party deal last night.
The reason why the players did not receive news yesterday is because the transaction still needs to be submitted to the league for approval.
But people in the league office just got to work this morning.
So, without anyone knowing, the transaction suddenly happened!
Daben is still a little confused now, ah, no.
Was I really tricked into a mine?
Soon, Da Ben was extremely excited again.
Because I had a good time getting along with Ryan in the Dawn Club before, Ben was very interested in cooperating with Ryan!
Remembering Cleveland?
It’s so funny, Ben is already packing his luggage!
On the other side, Weber was indeed packing his luggage.
Because he took the initiative to trade him, he was mentally prepared.
Again, Ryan led him to win two championships, and he has always been grateful.
He was grateful to Bird for giving him the opportunity, and to Ryan for realizing his dream.
Therefore, even if he can't help with the three consecutive championships, at least he can't be a stumbling block.
Weber took the initiative to apply for a trade early and expressed his willingness to be amnesty no matter where he was traded.
As long as it helps the team.
Lane rushed to Weber's home as soon as he heard the news.
By the time they arrived at Weber's house, the gorgeous king's luggage had all been packed.
Weber has been waiting for this day to arrive these days, and his luggage is probably prepared early.
Weber saw Lane, smiled, and then invited him to go to the courtyard to drink coffee.
The early morning sun shines through the clouds and softly onto the lawn of the yard, reflecting a peaceful and beautiful scene.
However, for Weber, this was the moment he said goodbye to the team.
No, even the moment to say goodbye to your own career!
No one would sign a veteran after a serious injury. Webb knew clearly that after being amnesty by the Bucks, he would never be able to return to the court again.
Thinking of this, Weber looked up at the sky.
This is said to relieve the secretion of tears.
Ryan patted Webber on the shoulder. Of course he knew that it was not honorable for Webber to retire in such a way.
As the most popular player in the league and a contributor to the Nuggets' two consecutive championships, he didn't even have a decent farewell.
"Thank you, Chris."
Weber turned his head, looked at Ryan, and forced a smile:
"What can I say? It's me who should thank you. Without you, how could I see the scenery at the top.
You have always been the person I admire the most, and I will always remember the path we have traveled together. "
Ryan could see the tears in the corners of Weber's eyes shining warmly in the sunlight.
This made Ryan look at the sky: "No matter where we are in the future, our friendship will always exist like the morning sunshine."
"Hahahahaha, tell me, how long have you memorized this cliché last night?"
"Fuck, I'm serious, Chris!"
"Then I have to give you an old-fashioned farewell speech, so that we can be even."
"I'm listening."
Weber put away his smile and stared at Ryan, as if he wanted to imprint the other person's image deeply in his heart.
He squeezed Ryan's shoulders hard, and then punched Ryan in the chest:
"There are not many opportunities to win three consecutive championships, but I believe you will definitely succeed!
No matter what the Big Three, no matter what injuries, none of these can trouble you!
Cheer up quickly!
You are different from us, we are just dust of an era.And you are destined to become a legend!
Go ahead, Ryan, take your wings and fly to your heart's content. Don't worry about whether I wander in the future. "
Ryan lowered his head and gently wiped the corners of his eyes:
"Fuck you Chris, your words are worse than mine!"
"I already said, we have to be even! Hahahahaha!"
Weber's wife looked at the two men in the yard and shook her head.
Wouldn't it be nice to hug each other happily?Everyone is forcing a smile.
man.
When Ryan and Webber said goodbye, basketball news was still playing on the TV at Webber's house.
However, the news is no longer about the trade of Ben, Webber and Reid.
When the whole world felt that the Nuggets' trade to acquire Ben was a dead horse, and that Ben was unable to save Ryan at all.
Another piece of news silenced the whole world.
Little did they expect that Bird had a backup plan!
"The same news I just received, the league office has approved the second transaction today! It's still related to the Nuggets!
Sacramento Kings forward Ron Artest
Traded to the Rockies!
The Nuggets sent Sessions, Landry, emergency center Steve Hunter, who was just signed this year, and next year's first-round pick to get this beast forward! "
Not to mention the fans of other teams, even the local fans in Denver were stupid.
No one expected that the Nuggets would have a second step!And step two comes so quickly!
That's right, Bird didn't just plan to make a deal, this is his way to fill the vacancy on the outside!
The Kings have wanted to get rid of Artest for a long time, but since Artest left the Pacers, he has been in trouble off the court, playing absentmindedly, and his strength has never been close to his peak level.
Therefore, no team is willing to take over this troublesome figure.
Therefore, the Nuggets acquired this former defensive beast at a relatively low cost!
The king still felt that he had made a profit and finally got rid of a hot potato.
Bird has been waiting for Ben's deal to be finalized before agreeing to Artest's deal.Because if the big budget is not in place, there is no point in having Artest alone.
Now that the capital is in place, Artest's transaction is naturally not a problem!
Bird's long-prepared plan has finally been implemented!
Although I couldn’t complete the deal before the opening game, it’s not too late!
Bird will never allow his third consecutive championship to be destroyed by injuries!
Therefore, he had already planned this team's replacement plan.
Nuggets fans all swallowed their saliva. Ben and Artest replaced Webber and AK. This is ridiculous.
What's the difference between the Nuggets forming a new team! ?
The Nuggets have had so many ups and downs these past two months!
However, the completion of the transaction does not mean that the Nuggets are reborn.
Even Bird admitted that trading wasn't the hardest part of the plan.
The hardest part of this plan is what comes after the transaction.
Ben and Artest on the same team?
Denver fans are scared. First of all, Ben and Artest are already in the decline period of their careers.
Secondly, these two guys have never reconciled after the fight that shocked the world.
Not to mention whether they can help Ryan with their current abilities, even if they are still capable, are these two in a team sure not to blow up the locker room?
And even if they still have gas in the tank and miraculously don't explode in the locker room, the Nuggets may not be able to create a chemical reaction.
After all, no one has ever practiced together. Ben Artest and AK Webb are also completely different types of players.
This means that the entire team's playing style may change drastically, and the system may even have to be overthrown and rebuilt!
Denver fans really don't know whether these two transactions will destroy the league or the Nuggets themselves.
Bird actually didn't know either.
He admits that he has an element of gambling.
As for whether he can win the bet, whether he can be remembered in history, and whether he can still complete the miracle of three consecutive championships in desperate situations.
Then it depends on whether Ryan, the leader, can hold the team together!
Bird did everything he could in the last year of his tenure.
Now, the performance stage is completely handed over to Ryan, the chief director!
Today I will present two chapters in one!A total of eleven thousand words!It’s another day of updating [-] words, and I’m begging for monthly votes!Thank you stepfathers!
(End of this chapter)
Michael Jordan was invited to participate in the production of Ryan's documentary, and the filming team made an appointment with him and went to his villa in Charlotte.
Although this villa in Charlotte is not as grand as the most famous Villa 23 in Chicago, it is still magnificent.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a 1:1 sculpture of Ryan in the garden in front of the villa!
The sculpture shows Ryan with his arms outstretched to defend, very much like the little man on the Best Defensive Player Trophy.
Every muscle on the statue's body is like a carefully carved work of art, both dynamic and full of life.The head is raised gracefully, and the facial lines are clear and delicate.
What is worth noting is the sculpted hair, which is carved to the smallest detail, as if each hair has its own independent life and texture.
Although because the statue is wearing shorts, it is not sure whether Jordan has restored the details of each head one to one.
It can be seen that Jordan did not fool around with things and paid a lot for this sculpture.
After all, if this thing is made more exquisitely, it can be sold as a piece of art in the future.
Jordan only agreed to build a sculpture for Ryan, but he didn’t say that it had to be placed in his yard for the rest of his life.
As for how much it can be sold for?
Even rubber dolls can be sold for two to three thousand. As long as a sculpture like Lane meets an interested buyer, the price will definitely be very scary!
I will never make a loss-making transaction!
When Jordan saw this sculpture now, he was angry and laughing at the same time.
And this sculpture can be regarded as proof that Ryan even defeated Jordan, and it is one of Ryan's honors.
In the basketball circle, this matter will definitely be spread forever like "The future is yours".
After the production team photographed this exquisite sculpture, they turned the camera on Jordan:
"Mike, the story behind this sculpture must be very unforgettable for you, right?"
Jordan smiled and shook his head: "That is, I will never forget it in my life! Well, this is indeed incredible! We won all the regular season + playoffs at home in a single season, and the Pepsi Center did not lose for a whole year. This is indeed incredible. "
"Since such an incredible thing has happened, do you think Ryan can win three consecutive championships?"
After being asked this question, Jordan paused and recalled the prosperous years of more than ten years ago.
"Three consecutive championships is not easy. This is not just a casual talk. It is hard for you to imagine the price you have to pay for this.
Tests from the outside world, tests within the team, and tests within oneself
It’s indescribably tough, but with Ryan’s words, who knows? "
After speaking, Jordan smiled meaningfully.
Everyone on the production team was surprised by Jordan's reaction. According to the old gangster's usual character, he would probably ridicule with disdain: "Three consecutive championships? Are you kidding me? Unless Ryan goes to find Shaq's grandma to team up, it's simply impossible. After all, , not everyone is called Basketball Jesus.”
But this time, Jordan did not deny the possibility of Ryan winning three consecutive championships.
The director immediately decided that if the three consecutive championships really happened, he would put this interview with Jordan at the beginning of the movie!
Because the God of Basketball seems to have seen through the truth of the destiny of this era in advance!
However, it is indeed very difficult for Ryan to achieve three consecutive championships.
Originally, the birth of the Celtics' Big Three was a waste, but now Nene has been cut off from Yongzhi and will be reimbursed for the season ahead of schedule.
This undoubtedly casts another shadow on the Nuggets' three consecutive championship prospects.
Some unscrupulous Boston fans are teasing on the Internet that Nene will have to be separated from others next season and use a separate locker room.Because after cutting, estrogen will surge, which may lead to the development of inner breasts.
Maybe he can surpass Daddario in one fell swoop!
Don't be surprised, Boston is a model city of civilization in the United States, and the quality of its fans is like this.
Bill Russell found Boston fans defecating on the roof of his car more than once that year.
Now, if you joke about Nene's cancer, it's considered mild.
The season hasn't even started yet, but Boston fans have already made the Nuggets and Celtics very angry.
After losing Nene, the Nuggets will probably have to use Birdman to play the starting four position next season, or the starting center when the speed increases.
But after all, the Birds don't have Nene's shooting and passing skills, and the offensive end is definitely not as useful as Nene.
As for Millsap, he has not fully grown up in his second year and is not yet able to serve as the starting four position for a championship team.
Therefore, Nene's absence still has a great impact on the Nuggets.
Ryan had already reminded Nene to pay attention to routine physical examinations.
However, no problem was found during previous inspections.
There is no way, this is probably Nene's destiny.
The difficulty of the Nuggets winning three consecutive championships has indeed become greater, but it is not hopeless.
Ryan was not depressed because of Nene's season reimbursement, and quickly formed this year's Morningside Club.
But this year, most of the people Ryan invited were teammates from the same team.
Kobe decided to train alone this year, and Wade was not very motivated in the summer because the team's plan for next season is not good.
As for Anthony, he has been lazy in the past few years since Ryan was not with him, and also declined Ryan's training invitation.
Besides, Brother Gua still has a lot of social matters to deal with, so he doesn’t have the time to play basketball.
Therefore, Ryan could only invite some teammates from the same team to train together.
The only two outsiders this year are Harris, a Lane University teammate who decided to join the club.
And Ben Wallace, who fought with Ryan in the finals last season!
Although Ben is old, his championship heart is still burning.
Men, their desire for lust and winning will not decrease as they age.
Although Ben is 33 years old, he is not young as an athlete.
But he still wants to work hard to win a championship.
And recently, rumors about the transfer of Ben have been flying everywhere.So if Ben doesn't push himself hard, he will always have random thoughts.
Will it be traded and where will it be traded?These things are beyond our control.
But maintaining form is one of the few things that Ben can control himself.
Big Ben also bluntly said after entering the training camp: "Ryan, teach me to attack!"
Lane: .
You might as well ask me to build rockets!
Ben knew that Ryan's offensive methods were not rich at the beginning.When he first entered the league, apart from making mid-range shots without the ball, he could only break through and hit the frame.
But Ryan's progress on the offensive end over the years has been huge.
Big Ben believes that Ryan must have a special training method.
Of course, Ben also knows that he is 33 years old and his potential is gone.
But he does not seek qualitative changes, nor does he seek to develop the footsteps of Olajuwon and Ajan.
As long as I can learn how to shoot!
Ryan's shooting is so accurate. If I practice according to his shooting posture, at least my free throw shooting rate will not be more than 40%, right?
But after studying for a period of time, Daben discovered.
As expected, I am better at "keeping the basketball out of the basket"!
Ryan can finally see that Ben is really a basketball prodigy who has only been seen in decades!
Other NBA players have terrible shooting percentages when there is no confrontation or defense.
Including Howard.
But Ben, he is one of the few NBA players whose shooting percentage is still unstable without confrontation and defense!
Just looking at the shooting, you would think that Ben was playing basketball!
Although he did not learn to shoot, during his time at Chenxi Club, Ben still strengthened his physical training with the help of the trainer.
In the original history, it was precisely because of repeated injuries in the 07-08 season that Ben completely fell off a cliff.
Although the training at Chenxi Club cannot reverse his growth, it can at least make his decline a little gentler.
You won’t hit rock bottom in an instant.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, Ben felt that he and Ryan were quite compatible.
Because Ryan is also the kind of person who doesn't give up easily once he sets a goal.
He has obviously won two consecutive championships and is already the highest-paid player in the league.
But he works harder than [-]% of people.
In order to achieve his dream of being ranked first on the Forbes list, Ryan is the first to come and the last to leave every day.
Even if no one is optimistic about it, Ryan still works hard.
This made Daben seem to see himself back then.
The most important thing is that Ben feels that Ryan is not hypocritical!
A few days ago, Ben discovered that Ryan liked to read a book when he had nothing to do. When Ben asked him about the content of the book, Ryan answered naturally.
and expressed his own opinions.
It’s not like someone posing crazily while reading a book.When the reporter asked about the content, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't tell.
And if you look closely at the photos of him reading books, you will find that he is basically looking at the title page!
The key is that it's not a shortcoming that you don't like to read. As a basketball player, who cares whether you like to read or not? Just play well and look good.
Others will not respect you just because you pretend to be tall and knowledgeable.
But since you don’t like watching it, don’t always use this character to promote it!
Before getting along with Ryan, Ben didn't know that a killer actress like Ryan actually liked reading.
Because Ryan never deliberately promoted this.
He thought that Ryan's daily life consisted of practicing on the training ground and then on the bed with female celebrities.
Ryan's authenticity made Ben's affection for him soar.
Da Ben is now like a 33-year-old young woman who has no interest in life, but is fascinated by a handsome guy outside.
It makes me upset when I think about going home and facing the fact that I can't do anything well!
A happy affair with Ben, ah no, the happy training time passed quickly.
At the end of this year's Dawn Club, Ben was full of reluctance.
But Ryan couldn’t be happier!
It’s time again for the annual rewards settlement!
For this year’s training trait rewards, Ryan chose the rewards from Harris and Big Ben.
Harris' rewards are still the same, +3 for passing and +3 for dribbling.
After calculation, Ryan's dribbling attribute finally reached 70, reaching 71.
The passing attribute is also 73.
Ryan still can't be a serious ball-handling attacker, but at least he doesn't have to worry too much about being kicked out when sprinting in a straight line.
And from Big Ben, Ryan drew a "iron wall" trait.
Although this trait is not as perverted as Garnett's, it can increase all defensive attributes by +4.
But this characteristic of Big Ben still allowed Ryan to receive rewards of +4 for pass steals, +5 for rebound prediction, and +6 for block prediction!
456 straight, the card is not small!
After installing this trait, Ryan's pass-stealing attribute reaches 75, and his rebound prediction attribute reaches 77.
The block prediction is stuck at the 80 threshold!
Originally, Ryan's shot-blocking ability has always been good thanks to his abnormal wingspan and bullet speed.
Now that the block prediction attribute has reached the 80s, the number of blocks will inevitably increase greatly.At the same time, the number of fouls will actually decrease.
Overall, Ryan's defensive ability has been further strengthened!
Next season, Ryan can't say he can easily break through the defense of the Celtics' Big Three.
But the Celtics' Big Three don't even think about scoring easily in Denver!
In addition, Lane's annual system upgrade also arrived on time.
However, the luck of the upgrade lottery this time was average. Only 6 skill points were awarded in the four lottery packages.
But it's normal. Ryan can't be so European every time he draws.
What's more, this time I don't have an Italian pussy with me.
Because finishing and defensive attributes cannot be freely added, Ryan also gave these 6 skill points to dribbling.
Increased dribbling to 77!
This time, Ryan's combination of throwing and attacking will undoubtedly be smoother!
At least he won't hit his crotch when dribbling, nor will he be thrown to teammates who are flanked because he can't dribble at the critical moment.
This wave of upgrades before the start of the new season every year makes Ryan full of confidence.
After his strength has improved a lot, Ryan feels that defeating the Big Three shouldn't be a big problem!
Because the new season training camp is about to begin, various topics about the new season have become popular again.
Among them, what the players talk about most is the comparison between the Celtics' Big Three and the defending champion Nuggets.
It is generally believed that it is unlikely that the Big Three will beat the Nuggets 4-0.
But defeating the Nuggets is still very possible!
The schedule for the new season has also been released, and David Stern naturally did not waste this hot spot.
The grand finale of the opening night of the new season is the Nuggets VS Celtics!
The first three golden games must be properly arranged for the fans!
Boston fans are ecstatic because their team has the opportunity to prove that they can defeat the defending champion in the first game of the new season!
But Ben never expected that the dispute between the Celtics and Nuggets would actually allow Cleveland fans to take advantage of him!
During this time, Cleveland fans were very unfriendly to Ben.
On the first day of the training camp, there were many fans outside the stadium holding signs with various contents related to Ben.
However, none of them are positive.
"Trade Ben Wallace"!
"Fake Defensive Player of the Year!"
"What's the use of locking up salary space for a max-salary player like this who can't score?"
"If we don't trade him, how can we beat the Celtics and Nuggets?"
The reaction of Cleveland fans is normal. James fans generally feel that losing games is often the fault of their teammates.
How could the invincible little emperor be wrong?If you lose, it’s all your teammates’ fault!
Indeed, James had 8 points in a single game and 9 turnovers in a single game in last year's finals.
But he is only a minor liability at best!
Although he made mistakes, made mistakes, and was beaten, he is still a good player!
How can you blame him?
James can be forgiven for being the second culprit, but Ben, the main culprit, must deal with him!
Seeing the Celtics' Big Three taking shape next door, Cavaliers fans also hope for a real star to assist James.
Otherwise, this lineup on paper is really too shabby.
But because James also started executing the maximum salary contract this year, the Cavaliers' space is directly locked.
If you want a star to join you, you have to change your budget.
Or find a way to use him for air and free up salary space.
Or find a way to directly trade him for another star!
Ben was sitting in his pickup truck, looking at the fans holding signs and yelling at him, and his heart was filled with despair.
The one who fought hardest in last season’s finals was obviously me!
But now we end up with everyone shouting and beating?
I really shouldn't have come to Cleveland in the first place!
This place is so magical!
Before Big Ben joined, the Cavaliers could not even win the Finals, let alone win the championship.
Big Ben's arrival brought the team to a higher level, but the fans wanted him to leave.
Everyone is convinced, but who has the greatest responsibility in the finals? You really don’t have a clue, right?
There is no way, Ben's conflict with James on the court is very unpopular in Cleveland.
Most fans turned against him.
Big Ben sighed. Although there were rumors about him being traded all summer, he really didn't think it mattered at first.
But seeing the fans like this, Ben was still a little chilled.
He didn't even know why he was working so hard at Morningside Club.
The new season hasn't even started yet, but Ben has already been dealt a blow.
My heart is almost gone.
As for the Nuggets, the new season training camp is not going well either.
Because the training camp only started for three days, the Nuggets reimbursed another one!
This time it was Webb, whose riddled knees finally gave out.
In the original history, Weber was already sick last season.
In this history, because he took off the burden early and became a role player, and Bird also used it with extra caution, this allowed him to last until he won the championship last season.
But Weber's age and physical condition are here after all. No matter how careful he is, what is supposed to come will still come.
An old car that has been driven for more than ten years will loosen up no matter how carefully you maintain it.
The screws will also become loose.
This produces various "crunching" noises.
I thought that Nene's reimbursement for the season was rough enough, but I didn't expect that the two starting insiders would be reimbursed as a team.
Kirilenko, an avid fan of Warcraft, joked: "It's over, Nene and Weber will surpass me in level next."
Weber is quite optimistic. He came to the Nuggets and gained two rings. He feels that he has no regrets in his career.
Now that he is old enough, he has already been mentally prepared for such a thing as being reimbursed for the season.
But what he feels guilty about is that he can't play and still has to occupy a maximum salary spot.
This is undoubtedly a huge harm to the team.
In the NBA, if a player with a guaranteed contract is laid off, his salary must be paid, and he must also occupy salary space before the end of the contract.
Is there any way to lay off people without taking up salary space?Of course there are.
Because the Knicks' previous series of brainless operations allowed them to pile up a series of junk contracts and almost kill themselves, the league introduced the "amnesty clause" in 2005.
When a player is fired using the amnesty clause, his remaining salary must still be paid.
But his salary does not need to be counted in the salary cap!
Each team has the right to use the amnesty clause once per season.
If possible, Weber would be willing to be pardoned.
While being fired sounds terrible, it's also an unseemly way to end your career.
But he really doesn't want to delay Ryan's pursuit of three consecutive championships.
However, because Ryan has also begun to implement the maximum salary contract this season, even if Webb is amnesty, the Nuggets still have no salary space to strengthen.
Besides, the season is about to start, and there are no big fish in the free agent market.
At this time, even if there is salary space, there is no one to sign.
The new season hasn't even started yet, and the Nuggets have two people lying around.
Bird felt stupid. He had long expected that it would be difficult to win three consecutive championships, but he didn't expect that it would be hellish difficulty from the beginning.
Although Webber struggled to score at the beginning of last season, his passing is the lubricant of the Nuggets' offense after all.
There was a period of time last season when Webber was away, and Bird used Kirilenko to go to the low post to solve the problem of no passing points in the low post.
But this trick is not applicable to all teams.
As for Ryan, although he improved a lot last season with the ball, he is still generally a player with a high assist rate.
Without Webber, Lane's offense will suffer.
Ryan also helplessly spread his hands at the press conference:
"The road to a dynasty is bound to be difficult."
All Ryan can do now is continue to temper himself.
Now my dribbling attribute is at least 77, so I should be able to reduce my assist rate and focus more on personal offense.
Bird did not sit still and wait for death. In fact, he was doing various emergency measures from the first day after winning the championship.
For such a big undertaking as three consecutive championships, it is impossible for Bird to have no ability to resist risks at all.
At the same time, various news have revealed that the Cleveland Cavaliers are approaching Bucks star Michael Reid!
The Cavaliers actually wanted to get Reid as early as the summer of 2005, but at the time Reid was unwilling to play second fiddle to James, so he ultimately chose to stay in Milwaukee.
But now, it's up to Reed to go to Cleveland.
The Bucks also want to get rid of Reid because they are determined to rebuild.Although Reed averaged 26.7 points per game last season, he only played 53 games due to injury.
Obviously, even if he returns from injury this season and is still a top scorer, he will not be the future of the Bucks.
The Bucks are now also preparing to take the path of "trusting the process."
Next year is unanimously considered by the media to be a big draft year. Talents such as Rose, Beasley and Mayo may change the destiny of a team.
The Bucks are absolutely willing to defend for them!
The Cavaliers did contact the Bucks, but the Bucks did not want to take over Big Ben.
Ben's contract is shorter than Reid's, but it doesn't expire until 2009.
As a small team, the Bucks don't want to raise two years of max-salary players in vain.
The ideal trade target for the Bucks is a team that allows them to free up salary space.
Just like that, the transaction was temporarily frozen.
Daben's heart froze.
No one can play in peace while being mired in trade rumors before the season.
The two teams that reached the finals last season were in their own troubles for a while.
Danny Ainge is laughing so hard. The Cavaliers are in chaos now, and the Nuggets are full of wounded soldiers.
For me, Lukai, this is not equivalent to picking up something ready-made!
I'm so fucking great!
Amid this chaotic situation, the Nuggets entered the preseason.
In the preseason, the impact of Webber's absence was obvious.
The Nuggets' off-ball offense has become a lot more jerky and less smooth.
Of course, what is gratifying is that Ryan's singles with the ball has improved a lot.
Ryan, who used to only be able to run in a straight line, can now do tricks like sudden changes of direction.
In the end, the Nuggets still maintained an undefeated record in the preseason.
It seems that this team still has the strength to win three consecutive championships.
However, the opening game of the new season made Nuggets fans shut down.
Because in the opening game, the defending champion Nuggets actually lost to the Celtics at home by 14 points!
Although the Celtics used half of the team to make trades this summer, what is surprising is that they seem to have a very high chemical reaction without any need for running-in!
As for the Nuggets, even without Webber, they actually wouldn't lose so much.
But the key is that Kirilenko strained his thigh halfway through the first quarter of the opening game!
Because of two consecutive seasons of high-intensity fighting, this summer they also worked hard to win the European Championship.
Therefore, when the team doctor evaluated before the game, he said that Kirilenko had a moderate risk of injury.
It was also because of this that Ryan deliberately didn't call him when he opened the Dawn Club this year.
Bird also decided to reduce his playing time.
Who knew it all happened so quickly.
So this game is equivalent to Ryan alone VS the Big Three.
Facing the Celtics' terrifying defense, the Nuggets eventually lost.
As the defending champion, they lost by 14 points in the opening game. It has to be said that this is the Nuggets' worst start in recent seasons.
After the game, Kevin Garnett was very excited as he got his revenge.
Although many years have passed, he has not forgotten the shame of being hacked by Ryan!
At the press conference, KG, who finally returned to being the Wolf King from the Huskies, spoke loudly:
"If the Nuggets play in the finals again, we can even receive the award in advance!"
On the Nuggets side, reporters thought Ryan would be frustrated.
After all, the Nuggets started five players last season, and now three of them are injured!
What a disaster!
Who else wouldn't be frustrated when something like this happens?
If you encounter this situation while playing 2K Dynasty mode, you will probably scold your mother and start a new game.
Although Kirilenko is not directly reimbursed for the season like Weber and Nene, it is estimated that he will not be able to play a few games.
Because just now Kirilenko couldn't even stand up on his own and looked seriously injured.
But when reporters saw Ryan, the two-time MVP's eyes were still determined:
"No difficulty can stop our determination to pursue three consecutive championships!"
Next to Ryan, Larry Bird looked worried.
People rarely see this kind of expression on Bird's face. It's also true that he is probably thinking about breaking his head just to strengthen himself.
Although Ryan's answer was confident and decisive, some reporters still felt that he was just being tough:
"Ryan, the past two months must have been very uncomfortable for you, right?
First, Nene was diagnosed with cancer, and then Weber was injured.
Now, even the AK47, which is still in good condition, has exploded.
Today's opening game also lost by 14 points.
The team has undoubtedly hit rock bottom.
Ryan, are you really confident about this season? "
Ryan shook his head: "Who said we have hit rock bottom? We did have an embarrassing loss today, but we will come back!"
Ryan's words were directly laughed at by the crowd.
That night, the hosts, including Barkley, felt that the Nuggets' road to three consecutive championships was over.
Buckley put it mildly:
"Ryan is still young! He still has a chance to win three consecutive championships!
Don’t forget, when Jordan was this age, he had never even played in the finals! "
The implication is that it is impossible for Ryan to win three consecutive championships now!
In the evening, Ryan watched the program on TV and the overwhelming cheers of Boston fans online, and curled his lips.
It’s really frustrating to lose the opening match like this!
Now that the starting lineup is not available, it is indeed difficult for the team to make a difference.
But the reason why Ryan was so confident just now is because Bird has been working on solving the lineup problem!
The new season hasn't even started yet, and Bird has been working hard.
It's just that this problem cannot be solved in a day or two, it will take a period of time.
Therefore, until the opening game, the lineup problem still exists.
But Bird told Ryan that he would get the answer about whether the deal can go through tonight!
If Bird's plan can be successfully implemented, then the team may be able to continue its goal of three consecutive championships!
So after the game, Ryan stayed with Bird in his office.
Waiting for transaction results.
Until 01:30 in the morning, there was still no news from Bird.Ryan couldn't stand it any longer and was ready to go home and sleep.
But at this moment, Bird's cell phone rang!
Bird and Lane looked at each other, then answered the phone.
"Hello? Really? Okay."
After a few simple replies, Bird hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
Then came the second phone call.
Just like before, Bird simply answered a few words.
Then, Bird looked at Ryan with a solemn expression:
"Tomorrow, the whole world will be obsessed with our team!"
The next day, Daben woke up from bed in a daze.
As expected, the Cavaliers lost the opening game yesterday.
Facing the Raptors led by Anthony, the Cavaliers, as the Eastern Conference champion last season, actually lost by 8 points.
Big Ben himself only scored 6 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block.
He admitted that he did not do his best and his performance was not good.
It's not that he wants to be lazy, but that he can't find a reason to work hard.
The trade rumors again and again, the fans' insults again and again, all these make Ben find no reason to work hard for the team.
In Cleveland, he really couldn't work hard.
After heating a glass of milk, Ben sat at the dining table and turned on the TV to watch the morning sports news.
ESPN is broadcasting yesterday's 14-point defeat of the Nuggets.
As the news continued to play, the host seemed to hear something in the headset and frowned.
Then, his expression became serious: "Ladies and gentlemen, the latest news just received!"
Then, Daben also saw his own avatar on TV.
Daben was confused, what's going on?What urgent news?
Why are my photos on TV?
At the same time, Daben's cell phone started ringing wildly.
The caller ID showed a call from his agent.
At that moment, Ben quickly realized that he had probably been traded!
Although he knew that he would leave Cleveland sooner or later, the news was still too sudden.
I didn't hear anything last night.
Where did I get traded?
Before Ben could answer the phone, he heard the host say:
“This morning, the league officially approved the three-way trade between the Bucks, Cavaliers and Nuggets!
The Bucks sent Michael Reed to the Cavaliers, and the combination of James and Reed became a reality!
And Ben Wallace is going to his opponent in the finals!
That's right, DPOY became a Denver Miner last season! "
Big Ben's head was buzzing, I was traded.
Denver Nuggets! ?
Big Ben, whose CPU was burned directly, even forgot to answer the phone.
At the same time, the details of the transaction were being discussed on TV.
The Nuggets sent Webber to Milwaukee, the Bucks sent Reed to the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers sent Ben to the Nuggets.
The three-point trade is the exchange of these three players.
The Bucks originally wanted to get rid of Reid, but the big contract was too long and they didn't want to spend the money, so the deal has been shelved.
But the addition of the Nuggets made the Bucks excited!
The Nuggets are willing to offer Webber. Webber's contract only has one year left and will expire at the end of the season.
In addition, Webb also agreed to the amnesty agreement and agreed to the Bucks amnesty in the form of installment payments.
It's equivalent to the Bucks not only getting rid of Reed, but also saving money!You know, Reid's contract does not expire until 11 years!
As for the Nuggets, although Reid has a strong scoring ability, Bird does not want an offensive outsider.
According to his thinking, what he needs now is exactly a defensive inside man.As for the vacancy left after Kirilenko's injury on the outside, Bird has other ideas!
The Cavaliers finally got the Reed they longed for!The whole city cheered!
Of course, the Cavaliers didn't want to send big money to the Nuggets at first.
After all, they are opponents in the finals, and it is impossible to strengthen the opponent.
The Cavaliers knew that the Nuggets were in desperate need of a center after Nene and Webber were injured.
The more your opponent needs something, the less you can give it to him!
Because of this, the deal was delayed for so long, and there was still no progress until the new season started.
But why did the Cavaliers agree last night?
Because the AK47 was also injured!And Daben’s condition is in a mess!
The Cavaliers are thinking that without AK, there shouldn't be any problem if they give the Nuggets a big budget when their condition declines, right?
The Nuggets' strength improvement in this transaction is limited.But what the Cavaliers can get is a truly All-Star-level outside scorer!
This is what the Cavaliers have always dreamed of!
In this way, the Cavaliers finally relented and agreed to this three-party deal last night.
The reason why the players did not receive news yesterday is because the transaction still needs to be submitted to the league for approval.
But people in the league office just got to work this morning.
So, without anyone knowing, the transaction suddenly happened!
Daben is still a little confused now, ah, no.
Was I really tricked into a mine?
Soon, Da Ben was extremely excited again.
Because I had a good time getting along with Ryan in the Dawn Club before, Ben was very interested in cooperating with Ryan!
Remembering Cleveland?
It’s so funny, Ben is already packing his luggage!
On the other side, Weber was indeed packing his luggage.
Because he took the initiative to trade him, he was mentally prepared.
Again, Ryan led him to win two championships, and he has always been grateful.
He was grateful to Bird for giving him the opportunity, and to Ryan for realizing his dream.
Therefore, even if he can't help with the three consecutive championships, at least he can't be a stumbling block.
Weber took the initiative to apply for a trade early and expressed his willingness to be amnesty no matter where he was traded.
As long as it helps the team.
Lane rushed to Weber's home as soon as he heard the news.
By the time they arrived at Weber's house, the gorgeous king's luggage had all been packed.
Weber has been waiting for this day to arrive these days, and his luggage is probably prepared early.
Weber saw Lane, smiled, and then invited him to go to the courtyard to drink coffee.
The early morning sun shines through the clouds and softly onto the lawn of the yard, reflecting a peaceful and beautiful scene.
However, for Weber, this was the moment he said goodbye to the team.
No, even the moment to say goodbye to your own career!
No one would sign a veteran after a serious injury. Webb knew clearly that after being amnesty by the Bucks, he would never be able to return to the court again.
Thinking of this, Weber looked up at the sky.
This is said to relieve the secretion of tears.
Ryan patted Webber on the shoulder. Of course he knew that it was not honorable for Webber to retire in such a way.
As the most popular player in the league and a contributor to the Nuggets' two consecutive championships, he didn't even have a decent farewell.
"Thank you, Chris."
Weber turned his head, looked at Ryan, and forced a smile:
"What can I say? It's me who should thank you. Without you, how could I see the scenery at the top.
You have always been the person I admire the most, and I will always remember the path we have traveled together. "
Ryan could see the tears in the corners of Weber's eyes shining warmly in the sunlight.
This made Ryan look at the sky: "No matter where we are in the future, our friendship will always exist like the morning sunshine."
"Hahahahaha, tell me, how long have you memorized this cliché last night?"
"Fuck, I'm serious, Chris!"
"Then I have to give you an old-fashioned farewell speech, so that we can be even."
"I'm listening."
Weber put away his smile and stared at Ryan, as if he wanted to imprint the other person's image deeply in his heart.
He squeezed Ryan's shoulders hard, and then punched Ryan in the chest:
"There are not many opportunities to win three consecutive championships, but I believe you will definitely succeed!
No matter what the Big Three, no matter what injuries, none of these can trouble you!
Cheer up quickly!
You are different from us, we are just dust of an era.And you are destined to become a legend!
Go ahead, Ryan, take your wings and fly to your heart's content. Don't worry about whether I wander in the future. "
Ryan lowered his head and gently wiped the corners of his eyes:
"Fuck you Chris, your words are worse than mine!"
"I already said, we have to be even! Hahahahaha!"
Weber's wife looked at the two men in the yard and shook her head.
Wouldn't it be nice to hug each other happily?Everyone is forcing a smile.
man.
When Ryan and Webber said goodbye, basketball news was still playing on the TV at Webber's house.
However, the news is no longer about the trade of Ben, Webber and Reid.
When the whole world felt that the Nuggets' trade to acquire Ben was a dead horse, and that Ben was unable to save Ryan at all.
Another piece of news silenced the whole world.
Little did they expect that Bird had a backup plan!
"The same news I just received, the league office has approved the second transaction today! It's still related to the Nuggets!
Sacramento Kings forward Ron Artest
Traded to the Rockies!
The Nuggets sent Sessions, Landry, emergency center Steve Hunter, who was just signed this year, and next year's first-round pick to get this beast forward! "
Not to mention the fans of other teams, even the local fans in Denver were stupid.
No one expected that the Nuggets would have a second step!And step two comes so quickly!
That's right, Bird didn't just plan to make a deal, this is his way to fill the vacancy on the outside!
The Kings have wanted to get rid of Artest for a long time, but since Artest left the Pacers, he has been in trouble off the court, playing absentmindedly, and his strength has never been close to his peak level.
Therefore, no team is willing to take over this troublesome figure.
Therefore, the Nuggets acquired this former defensive beast at a relatively low cost!
The king still felt that he had made a profit and finally got rid of a hot potato.
Bird has been waiting for Ben's deal to be finalized before agreeing to Artest's deal.Because if the big budget is not in place, there is no point in having Artest alone.
Now that the capital is in place, Artest's transaction is naturally not a problem!
Bird's long-prepared plan has finally been implemented!
Although I couldn’t complete the deal before the opening game, it’s not too late!
Bird will never allow his third consecutive championship to be destroyed by injuries!
Therefore, he had already planned this team's replacement plan.
Nuggets fans all swallowed their saliva. Ben and Artest replaced Webber and AK. This is ridiculous.
What's the difference between the Nuggets forming a new team! ?
The Nuggets have had so many ups and downs these past two months!
However, the completion of the transaction does not mean that the Nuggets are reborn.
Even Bird admitted that trading wasn't the hardest part of the plan.
The hardest part of this plan is what comes after the transaction.
Ben and Artest on the same team?
Denver fans are scared. First of all, Ben and Artest are already in the decline period of their careers.
Secondly, these two guys have never reconciled after the fight that shocked the world.
Not to mention whether they can help Ryan with their current abilities, even if they are still capable, are these two in a team sure not to blow up the locker room?
And even if they still have gas in the tank and miraculously don't explode in the locker room, the Nuggets may not be able to create a chemical reaction.
After all, no one has ever practiced together. Ben Artest and AK Webb are also completely different types of players.
This means that the entire team's playing style may change drastically, and the system may even have to be overthrown and rebuilt!
Denver fans really don't know whether these two transactions will destroy the league or the Nuggets themselves.
Bird actually didn't know either.
He admits that he has an element of gambling.
As for whether he can win the bet, whether he can be remembered in history, and whether he can still complete the miracle of three consecutive championships in desperate situations.
Then it depends on whether Ryan, the leader, can hold the team together!
Bird did everything he could in the last year of his tenure.
Now, the performance stage is completely handed over to Ryan, the chief director!
Today I will present two chapters in one!A total of eleven thousand words!It’s another day of updating [-] words, and I’m begging for monthly votes!Thank you stepfathers!
