Super Heavy Artillery - v3 Chapter 708
“Super Heavy Artillery (
No matter how strong people are, they will get old.
Stars such as Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Russell who are far apart have always been symbols in history. Even those stars who are familiar to most of the fans who can represent a large part of the youth of the fans are getting old.
Jordan, Kobe, O’Neal, Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Nash, Garnett, Ray Allen, Carter, Pierce, Nowitzki, some players were still in the league in the first two seasons, but now, they have basically faded out The field. For example, Carter is still holding on. But everyone knew that he was no longer the half-man and half-god.
On November 28, 2002, Michael Jordan announced that he would retire after the 2002-03 season. This is the third time Jordan announced his retirement and the last time he has retired.
In order to thank the greatest star in NBA history, the league deliberately held a retirement ceremony for Jordan at the 2003 All-Star Game. During the intermission, when Mariah Carey was standing in the center of the court wearing Jordan Wizards No. 23 jersey and singing “Hero” affectionately, the fans stood up to salute and applauded. At this time, Jordan’s eyes were full of tears. Everyone knows that the era of flying man Jordan is completely over.
Bryant tore his Achilles tendon in 2013. After returning from injury, Kobe was still able to throw those difficult shots again and again, but it is undeniable that he still has not recovered his best form. At that time, even Kobe, who would never admit defeat, admitted that he had lost to the years and announced his retirement in 2016.
Kobe is one of the best scorers in the NBA. He has won numerous awards during his career. He is very familiar with breakthroughs, shooting, free throws, and three-pointers. He has almost no offensive blind zone. A personal record of 81 points in a single game proves this.
Jordan and Kobe are the two first men in the league that James has been recognized before. They are like the sun and the moon, lying before the time of James. But the NBA is always starry. The sun and the moon alternate and the stars fall, which is regrettable.
On June 2, 2011, O’Neill uploaded a 16-second short video on Twitter in which he announced his retirement. No one would have thought that the way the live treasure on the court leaves the court is so ingenious.
On July 20 of the same year, Yao Ming held a press conference in Shanghai to announce that he would end his basketball career and officially retire.
On October 31, 2013, NBA legend Allen Iverson held a press conference in Philadelphia and officially announced his retirement, thus ending his wonderful basketball career. He said at the press conference: “I officially announced the end of my basketball career. I thought it would be a sad day, but now I feel great.”
Time has defeated the unruly and unruly Iverson! Everyone has the day to retire, and Iverson is no exception. When Iverson kissed the 76ers floor again, everyone knew that this day was coming.
A little earlier than him, another superstar McGrady announced his retirement.
Many people say that McGrady is a worse player than Iverson. His talent and conditions make it easier to succeed than Iverson. At his peak, McGrady was like a beautiful fire, wherever he went, it burned endlessly. At the end of his career, McGrady, like Iverson, was a pity. There has been a saying in the fan circle: God has two children, one is McGrady and the other is Kobe. God gave McGrady talent and Kobe to work hard.
On August 26, 2013, McGrady officially announced his retirement after he missed the championship at the nearest place.
Nash also left the game with regrets as well as McGrady. As one of the representative figures of the golden generation of NBA96, Nash’s personal honor is quite dazzling. He is the ninth defender in NBA history to win the MVP and the third defender to win the MVP. He is also the first international player to win the regular season MVP since Olajuwon.
“No one can play basketball for a lifetime. I’m going to retire.”
On March 22, 2015, the 41-year-old Nash announced his official retirement in an open letter.
2016 is definitely a year worth remembering for basketball fans. In addition to Kobe, the stars who retired this year include Duncan, Garnett, Stoudemire, Ray Allen…
On July 11, 2016, Duncan officially announced his retirement after careful consideration. Duncan’s retirement was as low-key as his career, not as stunning as Kobe, and ended his great career silently.
On July 28, the former Phoenix King and the Knicks signed a one-day short contract, and then officially retired from the NBA as a Knicks player. On September 24, Garnett officially announced his retirement. Since then, the league has no **** wolf king. On November 2, NBA legendary striker Ray Allen announced his official retirement, marking the end of the 96 Golden Generation.
On May 1, 2017, with 2 minutes and 32 seconds left in the third quarter, Pierce made a free throw ~www.mtlnovel.com~ No one expected that it was the last point of his entire NBA career.
“Now, my entire basketball career is over.”
Pierce, who was standing in the locker room, said these words calmly. However, it was not able to conceal the trace of melancholy on his face. Even if Pierce had prepared a season for this moment, when the farewell came, he still reluctant to give up.
On April 10, 2019, Lowitzki’s career came to an end.
“I came to this team for the first time, and I was interviewed by the media for the first time. I still remember the picture of the makeup photo with Nash. That was my first suit and leather shoes.” Nowitzki recalled: “These stories sound It’s very long, it’s like a lifetime, but it’s just yesterday.”
Changes in the four seasons and the alternation of the old and the new are the inevitable laws of the development of things. Goodness is used to miss, but life is more than ten or twenty years, there are many good things to enjoy. Just like Nowitzki said: “My life has opened a new page. I don’t need to spend all day thinking about basketball, and I can move on.”
One day, James will follow in the footsteps of these predecessors and become a part of the history of the league.
In fact, there are very few players who entered the league with James in 2003.
Even if James is nearly 36 years old this season, he still has a number that is not inferior to his peak period, leading the Lakers to start sprinting towards the 17th O’Brien Cup, but everyone knows that his era will Passed. This is not a few years ago that everyone thought that Mesozoic stars would replace them, but that the time left for him to rule the league is really short.
It is indeed a very thankful thing for fans to be able to see James running on the court.
