https://It’s good to play for a long time!
Kobe, who just reached a one-year contract with the Lakers for $3.29 million to fill the Lakers’ salary cap, watched his team spend the cap space on Giang and Morris this summer. Giang’s starting salary is 18 million, totaling In 3 years, 48 million yuan gradually decreased. Morris reached 16 million dollars in two years and 4.39 million dollars a year. He reached an agreement with Channing Frye, a shooting center, and also selected Hart, a rookie with first-class 3D potential, Zuba Ci’s second round also looks pretty good…
Looking at the current lineup of his own team, Leonard, James, Tariq Blake, Louis Williams, Corey Brewer, Lopez, Rondo, Tony Snell, Zu Butts, Nene Hilario, Gion, Morris, Channing Frye, Josh Hart.
Gion, Grand Lopez, Grand Morris, Fry, Nene, Zubac, Tariq Blake, seven insiders, each with its own characteristics, although less than 3 years, 35 million renewed the small Lope The Bulls’ inside combination, Griffin + Lopez Jr., is still the strongest inside combination in the league today, but at least it won’t be the same as Derek Favors’s 16+9 per game in the past two years. Burst.
The second round of last year’s playoffs was terrible! As long as there is a strong inside team, their Lakers will not play well in the playoffs, because in addition to Lopez and Nene, other people can’t even do it without delay, and Nene and Daluo Not to mention that Petz is a center, and the two combined are not physically strong enough to play a full 48 minutes, which is the worst.
Finally, their Lakers have a real title contender again! No longer a regular season team.
Just when Kobe was excited about his own team’s signings this summer, he saw the Clippers trade back for Klay Thompson.
For this, Kobe feels okay. Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Curry, and Jokic did not have all the starting combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge, and Gobert in the 15-16 season. Strong when healthy and strong enough, the Grizzlies’ starting lineup in the 15-16 season can be considered the strongest in history.
But with Durant, it’s completely different. Sun Ce and Durant can play power forwards, and this lineup bursts directly!
In other words, any championship-level team with Durant will be strong enough to burst!
Kobe also thought that once the Clippers signed Sun Ce, there would be no room to renew Durant and Durant would leave.
But Durant actually renewed his contract! Still cut salary by more than 6 million to renew the contract!
Who can think of such a thing?
Kobe has been playing for 21 years, and he really didn’t expect such a thing to happen… That’s why he lamented that playing for a long time is good, and all kinds of craziness can be experienced.
This situation is different for the Clippers and the Grizzlies! The Grizzlies formed such a lineup at the beginning, but not many people have opinions. It is because Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Gobert were traded in his rookie year, almost equal to his own choice. The other three All rookies chosen by themselves.
Aldridge was traded with Whiteside. The Grizzlies are still at a loss. Whiteside has a second defense. Whiteside is the other team. The Grizzlies signed back. I cultivated it myself.
That is to say, the Grizzlies are all self-trained players, forming the strongest starter in history, playing 75 wins and 72 wins in two seasons.
But the Clippers, except Jokic, the other four starters were all joined by other teams. Curry and Klay Thompson were okay. After the trade, the Clippers were robbed by the Warriors.
But the Clippers’ bargaining chips could theoretically only exchange Curry and Klay Thompson back, Sun Ce and Durant, the Clippers brought them back without any cost. Among them, Du Normally, Rand should take more than 30 million yuan like Sun Ce, and take about 40% of his salary. They can catch up with David West who jumped out of the contract base salary to join the Grizzlies…
Durant is really not short of money, and signed a 10-year $3.2 billion sneaker contract. The endorsement fee for sneakers is second only to Sun Ce and James.
Kobe really didn’t expect this world to be so crazy. In order to stop being an opponent with Sun Ce, the guy Durant actually waited for the Clippers to sign up for the Clippers, after the deal was over, and how much space was left, he would sign a big contract. Really, it’s completely disregarding face and face, and if you can’t beat it, you will hug.
But in this situation, Kobe feels… it’s my shit?
Love it!
This kind of thing should be a headache for James and Leonard. Kobe thought that if there is a chance to play a championship, it would be good, but this situation is like the magician and the big bird in the 1980s, and it is Sun Ce is one of the two, not counting the end of the 1980s. From 1980 to 1988, only the 76ers won a championship during this period. The other eight championships were won by Magic and Bird.
Currently there are 3 years left in this decade. Will their Lakers have a chance to win another championship?
It’s really not so easy…
But, Kobe, who has caught up with Jordan’s number of championships, doesn’t care if he can win the seventh championship. He is naturally happy if he can get it, but if he can’t get it… there is no way! When they won three consecutive championships at the beginning of the century, didn’t their opponents also collapsed.
For Kobe, he is now very fortunate that he promised James last year to play for a few more years before he had the opportunity to experience such a scene. He is very fortunate and feels that playing for a long time is really great! The next thing he wants to do is to try his best to help the team, how much he can help, personal goal… just get 800 points per year. At present, he has 390,023 points, and he is not far away from 40,000 points!
…
However, Kobe didn’t expect that he really couldn’t stop this fight. With more solid open shots, Kobe played an important role in the Lakers’ road to the championship.
In the 17-18 season, as Kobe expected, Sun Ce + Curry + Klay Thompson + Durant + Jokic just formed the ultimate five-man Clippers, the first regular season record is also It’s commonplace, with 61 wins. Although he won the regular season championship, it is not far behind the 60 wins of the Nets in the East and the Suns of the second in the West.
But in the playoffs, the Clippers were too strong. After a season of running-in, in addition to losing one game in the first round, the second round began two consecutive sweeps. Among them, the Lakers relied on Renner in the sixth game. Germany’s CIC lore, 4-2 wins over Paul and Antetokounmpo’s Suns to reach the Western Conference finals, but lost to the Clippers by at least 15 points in each of the four consecutive games and was easily swept by the Clippers.
In the finals, it was not the Nets that made it to the finals, nor was it the 76ers that rebuilt quite smoothly with 55 wins in the regular season, but the Celtics who got Jimmy Butler!
In the finals, the Clippers encountered some trouble. Jimmy Butler got two 40+ triple-doubles in 6 games. One of them was after Sun Ce scored a goal for the overtake, Jimmy Butler buzzer three. Split the Clippers and turned the 1 to 3 trail into a 2 to 3 trail.
However, the Clippers relied on Sun Ce’s 15 points, 17 rebounds, 16 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks in the sixth game. When the individual was flanked, they relied on Jokic’s cooperation to connect the team’s pitchers. Killed the Celtics alive.
In the 18-19 season, the Lakers had much better opportunities. The Clippers often missed Curry and Klay Thompson in the regular season. They ranked third in the Western Conference in the regular season with 59 wins. In the playoffs, there are also players. Occasionally missed, but the overall impact is not big.
The chance for the Lakers this year is that Leonard has entered the peak season. With James in good condition, the second Lakers in the Western Conference met with the Clippers in the second round. The Lakers have home-court advantage. Play with the Grizzlies to the tiebreaker! And after losing the battle of Tianwangshan, the away game dragged the series to the tiebreaker.
However, the Lakers returned to the home court and still failed to win. The Clippers performed strongly in the tiebreaker, making 23 three-pointers and Sun Ce’s defensive end with 16 rebounds, 6 blocks and 3 steals. The Clippers won the tiebreaker 129-113, and the Lakers fell in front of Sun Ce again…
Entered the playoffs as the fourth in the Western Conference and eliminated the Suns team led by Paul and Antetokounmpo. It is the Grizzlies, Brogdon, Jaylen Brown, Paul George, Ibaka, Sabonis… the performance of the Grizzlies’ core combination is amazing! The bench lineup includes Harrison Barnes, Yi Jianlian, and Hilde, which are also quite good.
In the summer of 2017, the Grizzlies used Gobert and the traded Redick as a bargaining chip to clean up the lineup and traded back Ibaka and second-year Sabonis. After a year of running-in, from 17-18 Eighth in the Western Conference of the season, rushing to the current fourth in the Western Conference, and in the second round relying on the performance of Hilde and Jalen Brown, and Paul George who averaged 216 points, 68 rebounds, 9 assists and 22 steals in the playoffs. With his leadership and excellent inside strength, the Grizzlies beat the Suns in the second round and reached the Western Conference Finals!
In Kobe’s view, the Grizzlies are also lucky. Paul inexplicably broke down in the second round. This is the first year that Paul renewed his 4-year contract with the Suns in advance of $16.9 billion in the summer of 17 years. After this season, Paul is 36 years old…
In the Western Conference Finals, the Grizzlies faced the Clippers, who were in their best form after the tie-break with the Lakers, and were out 1-4… The scene that made Kobe very impressed by the Western Conference was the Clippers. When I went to Memphis to play away, the fans on the spot turned directly.
In the finals, the Clippers easily defeated the Nets with a better record 4-1. Although the Nets formed a championship combination, they were only a championship combination. They failed to win Durant and failed to make the lineup. The qualitatively changed Nets are just capable of defeating ordinary championship teams…
Sun Ce won 5 consecutive championships! Although no team can complete more than 3 consecutive championships like the Celtics, Sun Ce has completed 5 consecutive championships himself!
Seeing that the Clippers seem to be building a dynasty again, something very sudden happened.
In Kobe’s playing career, Sun Ce’s number of consecutive championships was fixed at 5 times, and Sun Ce’s number of championships was fixed at 7 times. On June 20, 2019, Sun Ce, who completed 7 championships in 8 years, won the seventh of his career on the night of the championship. After the fvp trophy, he announced his retirement…
5 vp, 7 championships, 7 finals vp, 5 consecutive championships + fvp, two best defensive players, 9 first battles, 6 first defenses, 5 scoring champions, 2 rebounds champions, 6 King of blocks, two steals…
Sun Ce, with the title of the strongest player in history, announced his retirement at the age of 29 and a half after playing for 10 seasons!
In Kobe’s view, he was targeted! This guy just wants to retire after winning one more championship than him!
The impact of Sun Ce’s retirement on the Clippers’ strength is no less than that of Durant’s salary cut in the summer of 2017 to join the Clippers! Not only that, but more intense!
Therefore, in the summer of 19, Gallinari’s expiring contract was sent away from the Nets, Larry Sanders’ contract expired, Porzingis’s last-year rookie contract ended, and the basketball team had not renewed. The Nets only have Evans and Love with two big contracts with a salary space of 39 million. Durant signed a four-year maximum salary contract of $15.6 billion to join the Nets!
If you win, you will join you again. Durant’s operation this time was frantically complained by the fans… Two years ago, we couldn’t beat us to play with the brothers. Now it has become a win and you will come to relieve you…
Sun Ce’s retirement is a huge loss for the entire NBA. Every year, I don’t know how many billions of dollars he will earn, but for other stars, the sky is finally bright!
In the past two years, other stars really feel that the NBA is about to end, but they did not expect that Sun Ce chose to retire at the peak stage. For a while, the league entered the mass competition stage.
And Kobe, who was smashed by James and renewed his contract for another year, with a basic salary of 2.79 million dollars…
No way, with Kobe’s ability, although he is 41 years old, he can get 10 points in every game by catching and shooting, and he has an average of 2.79 million US dollars in catching and pitching. There is so much more. Based on his experience, when Kobe has a little idea of wanting to retire, James will keenly judge it, and then go to Kobe’s home to eat and drink wifi, Kobe can only choose to continue playing.
Originally, after the 18-19 season, Kobe was about to retire. His total score has reached 40,582 points, but he can’t hold James like that. He chose to play for another year.
The 19-20 season was an eventful season for the entire NBA… Stu Jackson was appointed as the president of the NBA. He was indeed a mediocre president. He did not let David Stern quit the board of directors. His heart problem was severe. David Stern almost retired to ICU because of Sun Ce, and had to help this mediocre successor, waiting for the next outstanding presidential candidate to appear. The old man was really exhausted physically and mentally.
At the beginning of the 20th year, the most terrifying epidemic in modern society broke out, and the whole world was in panic…except for the President of the United States.
The NBA was suspended for half a year. During this year, many veterans retired. In August, the NBA resumed operation. Bryant was here to accompany James and Leonard to train when the suspension was suspended. The state was maintained well, after the season. The game played a role.
Finally, this year, the yellow-green war reappeared!
The Lakers led by James and Leonard met the Celtics led by Jimmy Butler and Hayward in the Finals!
In the first six games, the two teams played inextricably. The Lakers were overwhelmed. Fortunately, at the critical moment of Game 6, Bryant was ordered to make two key mid-range shots and helped the Lakers win. In the sixth game, the finals were dragged into the tiebreaker. In the tiebreaker, the two teams played a super defense. In the end, Leonard won the only single game with 20+, 24 points and 8 rebounds. With 6 assists and 4 steals, as well as James’ 17 points, 19 rebounds and 3 assists, the Lakers narrowly beat the Celtics 92-87 to win the tiebreaker!
James finally won the second championship of his career, although the fvp was finally awarded to Leonard…It does not matter anymore. After experiencing the era of lordship and two years of Thanos’s finger time, players from other teams can win The championship has already felt extremely happy!
God, it’s really bright!
The happiest laugh was Kobe, who surpassed Jordan in the number of championships and tied with Sun Ce!
Originally it was just another year to score points, but they didn’t expect Durant to win the championship! With Durant’s Nets in the first year, it was rather broken. Love was not so suitable for Durant. He was forced to lose weight. The running-in was not good enough. Maybe the future will be much better. But the Celtics He is the current Eastern Conference hegemon and has reached the finals twice in three years.
However, the Celtics’ dominance is not stable. The Nets will definitely be strong again. They already have a foundation that surpasses the strength of ordinary championship teams, based on Evans, Love, and Porzingis. Durant has the potential to become the next Clippers and Grizzlies.
There is also the Bulls, who reached a tie-break with the Celtics in the second round. After the Bulls dormant for two years, it is estimated that they will rise again.
But for Kobe, it doesn’t matter at all.
After winning the seventh crown, Kobe, who has turned 42, announced his retirement after playing for 24 seasons!
…
Kobe, who retired, was a bit idle and spent half a year idle.
In the past six months, the NBA has been begging Sun Ce to come back, and Kobe is looking forward to Sun Ce’s comeback… Then Sun Ce won’t have more titles than him.
The 2020-2021 season will only start in late January 2021. It can be restarted because the epidemic has finally been brought under control. The epidemic has been under control on the other side of the People’s Oceania for more than a year.
The regular season was shortened to 50 games, and the playoffs were delayed until June, but it would be nice to be able to resume smoothly.
Seeing that it was March, Sun Ce still did not agree to come back, Kobe felt a little relieved.
But on April 1, April Fool’s Day, Kobe was at home preparing to tease his 5 daughters… In the past six months after retiring, Kobe had nothing to do with his daughter at home. Vanessa gave birth to his fifth daughter. daughter.
Just when Kobe was busy, the doorbell rang, and Kobe asked with a foolish voice control system: “Who are you?”
Because he did not receive notice of the visit, Kobe was not very happy to be interrupted during his time with his daughter, and his tone was not very good.
The voice of the intercom microphone from the entrance guard came through the loudspeaker in the living room of the villa: “I am Noah.”
“Are you Noah? I’m still Ark… Damn! It’s really your voice!”
Kobe opened the door and ran into the yard… After the outbreak, his house also built a wall.
When he came to the yard, Kobe saw Sun Ce with a large family, a group of security guards, a group of doctors… headed by!
In 2019, Sun Ce moved his family back to the imperial capital of China. For more than a year, he has almost never been to the United States. He will come occasionally in the second half of 19, but he never came after 2020. The epidemic broke out. In August last year, when the NBA 2019-2020 season rematch, the NBA has been asking Sun Ce to come back for a long time, but Sun Ce did not agree to go to the closed venue to play the game.
Looking at Sun Ce, there are two girls, Sun Ce, the daughter of a former Clippers assistant who is a press spokesperson, and 7 sons and 1 daughter… the youngest son is less than one year old!
I think I can only make fun of my daughter. The guy opposite has so many sons that he can form the main rotation of an NBA team. Kobe is so angry!
At this time, the group of doctors took the spray and sprayed on Kobe’s body. Kobe knew it was a disinfectant spray when he smelled it. Ah, this group of people just came to his house without prior notice, and they were worried that he might have a virus! He took the initiative to isolate him for 28 days before returning home from the finals last year.
As for why someone else has to be quarantined for 14 days and someone in other subjects should be quarantined for 28 days?
The reason… Someone in his life is not weaker than others! Isolation is more domineering than others.
However, Kobe did not refuse to disinfect this kind of thing. After all, there are 8 children in the family, and the eldest child is only 8 years old.
“What are you doing.” Kobe’s tone was even worse.
Kobe felt a strong threat, this guy came back, something bad happened! It is possible that the 7-time champion will be surpassed immediately!
“You know what I’m here for.” Sun Ce replied.
“…”
“I need a player with outstanding skills, outstanding player age, and a great career that I can admire to be my trainer. I have thought for a long time, and there is only you. How about an old man who is unemployed? Your trainer! I’ll pay you…”
…
Like a ghost, when Kobe sent out the invitation from Sun Ce, he suddenly felt that Sun Ce was pleasing to the eye and spoke nicely, so he agreed.
In fact, Kobe regretted it when the Sun Ce family left.
But what is promised must be done if it can be done.
And after discussing with Vanessa, Kobe and Vanessa felt that it was nothing. Sun Ce is now 31 years old. He will have to retire for six or seven years at most.
At present, someone in his department is 43 years old ~www.mtlnovel.com~ this age, because of the epidemic, business is not easy to do, usually at home is also idle, it is better to find a job, basketball-related things, even better .
Therefore, Kobe is preparing very carefully. Jordan has guided Sun Ce training. Kobe did not want to lose to Jordan. He vowed to teach better than Jordan!
However, when Kobe agreed to be Sun Ce’s trainer throughout his career, more than a decade passed…
18 years later…
On August 23, 2039, Kobe’s 61st birthday, Kobe, who has a white beard, drank a few cups and then grabbed Sun Ce’s sleeve with a trembling hand and asked, “My buddy, when can I retire!”
“Next year, my 7 sons will also enter the NBA this year. I will play for another year to see who can beat me… Well, even if they can’t win, I will retire. I played too long , You can retire soon…”
When Kobe heard this, he was crying…18 years! I only wanted to work for six or seven years, and one of them would retire in his 50s, but the result was 18 years!
In the past 18 years, he has watched Sun Ce win 7 more championships, and watched Sun Ce’s sons enter the major sports one by one. Among them, 3 sons have shown talents in the NBA and were selected in the draft this June. In the conference, Sun Ce’s 7th son was also the 4th son who chose to play basketball. He also entered the NBA and was the second champion among Sun Ce’s sons…
After 18 years, Kobe’s hair has not grown at all, and he has become a complete old man.
But even if he is 61 years old, he still wants to save face. Since he has agreed to be his trainer for Sun Ce’s career, in the last year…His second daughter will retire at wnba…but He still has to keep working!
