Guard With a Knife

"I don't even know what to say? This is not the first time I have won this trophy. I thought I was going to be excited, but... I didn't."

Lord Duke took over the MVP trophy, and then delivered this extraordinary acceptance speech.

“I don’t even know where to put it. I don’t have the habit of collecting trophies. Everyone knows that I have won too many trophies in my school days, which to me is equivalent to In the final exam, I took the first place in the school again...it’s not surprising."

Lord Duke did not even have a formalized thank you to the team to thank the fans for thanking the family, and he ended his speech.

But this... still made all the fans restless and excited. They vent their joy and excitement with extreme passion. This is their seventeenth championship trophy and the only time ever to swept the championship. They have every reason to believe that the 18th, 19th and 20th trophies will come soon. After all, Lord Duke is so young that he is not even married yet.

After the grand ceremony was over, Lord Duke had originally planned to slip away immediately.

However, a colleague from the Lakers' public relations department said, he finally did the ideological work and asked him to attend the press conference after the game.

After all, as the biggest protagonist of the finals, the MVP winner of the finals for three consecutive years. If you don't participate in the post-match press conference, not only the reporters, but even the newly appointed Adam Xiaohua will collapse.

When the Lord Duke came to the post-match press conference with two trophies, the reporters on the scene could not help applauding, and cheered like a fan meeting.

Facing the greatest Finals performance ever in the NBA, they couldn't calm down at all.

At this time, it is to flatter, it is to sing praises, because on this earth, you can no longer find a basketball star greater than the Duke of Snoopy.

However, Lord Duke seemed very calm.

When the reporter asked him what he thought of this series, he even stretched: "To be honest, I don't think this is such a great achievement, I just finished my job. Then next, I will Won a very fulfilling and long vacation. This summer, I don’t plan to do business promotion all over the world, nor do I plan to do a tour, nor do I have any plans to star in a movie."

"I have enough money. My annual established income can fully cover my loan, and my assets are still rapidly increasing. I must stop and enjoy life."

Lord Duke's tone sounded like an accomplished old entrepreneur.

But in fact, he was only 24 years old.

This is what makes people depressing.

Snoopy has made achievements that ordinary people can't match, but he is still only 24 years old. And his book wealth can already rush to the global Forbes rankings, as he said, no matter from which aspect, he can enjoy life.

The ESPN reporter tried hard to bring the topic from retirement back to basketball. He hoped that Lord Duke would comment on his opponent.

"I must emphasize that they are very strong opponents. The game was not as disparate as the big score shows. The first three games were actually very anxious. They were a little careless, and they were the ones who were leading three to zero. But we caught We won the opportunity, and our performance in the penalty zone did indeed play a key role. If it weren’t for Whiteside, Milicic, Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill, we might even have to play the game until Game 7 to be separated. Victory!"

Lord Duke expounded his views very seriously.

This allowed ESPN reporters to subconsciously extend the topic to the recent Miami scandal. "So, what do you think of the recent news between the Miami Heat and Dwight Howard? If Dwight Howard eventually joins Miami, what kind of impact do you think they will have on the Los Angeles Lakers next season?"

"If the Miami Heat join hands with Dwight Howard, their strength will definitely increase significantly. Dwight can make up for the Heat's final shortcomings, at least in the East, it is difficult for a team to pose a threat to them."

Lord Duke said quietly. He didn't feel threatened at all.

This made the reporter hurriedly asked: "So, do you think the Heat will pose a threat to you next season?"

"No! Because we will continue to improve, the stronger the opponent, it will only make us stronger!" Du Ge said seriously.

"So, Los Angeles plans to also sign a superstar in the offseason in response?"

"No, we are a budget-conscious club. Our goal is to drop another 5 million in salary next season. Since Ron Artest’s 8 million contract expires, we will basically accomplish this goal easily. . After all, our signings salary for the new season will not exceed 4 million."

Lord Duke said seriously.

His serious words caused the reporters at the scene to look at each other: Is the Lakers a budget-conscious club? The goal of the new season is to reduce the salary space by 5 million? What about it? Other teams in the league are engaged in an arms race. Are you going against the current?

Um...actually.

Mr. Kupchak has recently started trading. He intends to trade point guard Steve Blake. Although this guy is a good and affordable point guard, the Lakers don’t need Steve Blake’s $4 million salary. .

Therefore, they plan to trade out picks and cash.

In addition, Jordan Hill played quite well this season. The playoffs have averaged 8.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, making him a rare insider. If it is to be exchanged for draft picks, there must be a rush outside, and a lottery show must be sprinkled.

If the Carlos Boozer contract can be honored, then the Lakers are really awesome.

However, Boozer is a Duke's person after all. Now he has averaged 15.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, saying that he is a complete **** contract. But the price/performance ratio is definitely the Lakers' lowest. The value of the transaction is pretty bad, unless you catch a Whiteside, maybe someone else will take over. But what a cheap contract Whiteside is. Wherever the Lakers are willing to let go, they are now thinking about renewing their contract with Whiteside in advance.

Kupchak is now in the head of Grande anyway.

It's best to not spend money, it is better to make some money.

Anyway... Lord Duke is standing here, and the championship trophy is also here. Those veterans who want to be honored, please call to make an appointment!

After the press conference, Lord Duke finally talked about personal issues.

"I will spend the whole summer with important people."

This sentence triggered gossip in all media: So, is Daphne the important person?

"you guess?"

Snoopy left the suspense, which was not considered suspense, and left the scene happily. Even forgot to win the finals MVP trophy.

This also shows once again that Lord Duke doesn't care about this stuff at all.

He has already taken it twice, what's new?

...

About fifty minutes later, Miami’s Dwyane Wade finally walked into the house. He pursed his mouth, his expression was very frustrated and summed up why they failed. And they will continue to move forward and make unswerving efforts for the championship trophy.

This is undoubtedly the most difficult conference for the Flash.

They ended the 12-13 season with a score of zero to four, and continued to exist as the opposite of the sacred and sacred Duke.

Fortunately, the current reporters are gentle enough. They did not sprinkle salt on their wounds, nor did they fall into trouble.

After all, it takes a lot of courage to be able to appear here for the Flash.

It's like... LeBron James will never have the courage to stand up to this responsibility.

This is very different from his first trophy in Miami ten days ago to raise the Eastern Conference championship.

...

Lord Duke didn't care at all about who was sent by Miami to announce that the season ended in failure. After leaving the arena, he went directly to Daphne, the two went home together, and then began a shameless married life.

Daphne has an unimaginable hobby for this matter, which makes Doug even have a headache: as expected to be a woman struck by lightning.

Moreover, the thing he didn't know the most was... why Daphne wanted to be a mother so much.

Doesn't she enjoy the world of two people at all? Have to create a child to break the balance between the couple?

However, Dug slandered and slandered, and he still supported him in action.

He didn't have much confidence in this. When he was with other duke girls, occasionally there were fish that slipped through the net, but they did not bear fruit. He believes that the time has not yet come.

And when the Duke and Daphne were planning which tropical island to fly to swim this summer, the major media had begun to praise the Duke of Snoopy unprecedentedly.

Their advocacy is so high that it is even far greater than that of Michael Jordan.

This is the first fire after Adam Xiao Huaxin took office. He wants to create a god!

He knows... David Stern relied on Michael Jordan's wind to soar and brought the NBA to the most profitable business league in the United States in one fell swoop. So now... it's time to start the second peak.

He wants to use the great influence of Duke Snoopy to bring the NBA to the next level.

And his second fire is...support Baotuan!

When he learned that Dwight Howard and the Miami Heat, you came and I secretly sent off, he showed a completely different reaction from David Stern.

David Stern will never allow grouping to happen, especially this kind of peak grouping. This can be seen from his veto of Paul's deal in the name of basketball.

However, Adam Xiaohua is different, he does not care about the balance of power in the alliance. In his opinion, a few super-powerful teams are enough to continue to expand the influence of the NBA... This is in line with the 28 law.

So... as long as they agree with each other, he absolutely supports Pinnacle Group.

...

The Duke returned to Los Angeles after a half-month tour of Europe with Daphne.

At this time, the relationship between Miami and Dwight Howard was basically fully established, which made the Florida media quite excited and swept away the haze that had been swept before. It seems that as Howard signed the four-year $89 million maximum salary contract that has been exposed, he will soon become the championship.

Their happiness is exactly the same as the summer of 2010.

Of course, this has also attracted criticism from many experts. No one likes such a strong team at the pinnacle.

Rockets general manager Morey, who lost Howard in the competition, even said sourly: "When a team assembles three TOP5 superstars and a TOP10 super player, this team will definitely become a disaster for the whole league! I have never seen the NBA's No. 1 small forward and the NBA's No. 1 center be on the same team at the same time."

Such a sour argument is always ridiculed by the Miami media as unable to lose.

However, it must be admitted that the vast majority of public opinion is opposed to this kind of superstar peak grouping.

Therefore, more and more people hope that Lord Duke can kill them again.

Of course, everyone also thinks that the Lakers do not strengthen the lineup during the offseason. The result will certainly not be optimistic. After all, the Big Three and the Big Four are completely different concepts. The most important thing is that the Lakers' senior tour group is one year older. By next summer, they will no longer be able to achieve the same results this summer.

After returning to Los Angeles, Kupchak immediately reported his transcript to Dugge.

"Sean Marion passed our test. He is willing to accept a basic salary for a veteran. There are also some veterans, but we are still waiting and watching."

"Antoine Jamison has decided to retire. He has already got the championship ring he wants. This just makes room for Stephen Jackson."

"In addition, there is a defender who is at his peak who wants to sign a year-end salary with us. He is Nick Young. Do you think we can give this contract?"

"Also, we have reached an agreement with the Bucks. We will use Jordan Hill and Steve Blake to trade their expiring contracts, part of the cash, and their draft picks... If they can pick up what we want in the draft. Giannis for you!"

Kupchak's reporting work was done very well.

Dug nodded, and he encouraged Kupchak: "These tasks have been done very well. Our expected salary reduction work has been completed perfectly."

Later, he gave specific instructions: "Sean Marion can sign. Nick Young can also sign. Although this kid is not bright, he can well complement Kobe's declining strength~www.ltnovel.com~ As for the draft, you To continue to follow up, it is best to get a first-round pick. I doubt that the Bucks' draft picks may not be able to get this monster from Greece."

amount….

Kupchak always wanted to say something, but finally he asked: "Do you really think that little guy named Yang Nisi is so good? In my opinion, he has nothing but physical fitness. It may not be typed."

"No, I think he will become the next core of the Lakers. The biggest task this summer is to get him!"

Doug gave a death order: "The chips are not just Jordan Hill and Blake, you can trade anyone out. Understand?"

it is good!

Kupchak quickly agreed. Although he had doubts in his heart, he firmly believed in the eyes of Lord Duke.
