Super Lord of the Rings - Chapter 925

On February 1, 2014, David Stern officially retired.

In an interview, he smiled and said: “This is a great journey. I have experienced a lot of joy along the way. I am very happy where we arrived today. I look forward to the NBA continuing to sing forward on the international route.”

Stern’s tenure is the longest of all current active leaders in the American Sports League. Before he took charge of the NBA, the league’s playoffs could not be broadcast live on TV. Today, the NBA Finals can be 215 in the world. It is broadcast by the country and involves 47 languages.

The once weak NBA league is now a towering tree that generates $5.5 billion in annual revenue. The average value of the team is $634 million, the average annual income of players is $4 million, and fans are all over the world.

When talking about his successor Adam Xiaohua, Stern is full of confidence.

“Xiao Hua has been the president for the past 10 years, but they didn’t write him a check.” Stern joked, “He will become a great president, everything we have done in the past 22 years is We did it together.”

People have mixed opinions about Stern, and many stars have commented.

Most people think he is a shrewd businessman and should pay tribute to him.

There is Kobe’s kind of alternative, he said: “He is the president, he has the right to do anything damn.”

I don’t know in Kobe’s eyes, the league does not set a hard salary cap, so that the Lakers’ 18-year salary has blasted other teams. It is not a **** thing to form a team to win the championship several times.

After the injury came back, Danny Granger, who was in a serious decline, also brushed on Stern to brush his presence. “David Stern is a hard-line person. I heard that he is willing to accept a salary reduction, but the problem is that you don’t even know what his salary is. This is the craziest thing I have ever heard. He Is the most authoritarian leader in all sports leagues.”

Magic center Hawes said: “Stern has always asked every player to reduce his salary, why not ask him to reduce his salary?”

Stephen Marbury is in China and speaks most carefreely. “Stern is a mean villain. He should have resigned long ago. He messed up basketball. His time is over. To be fair, he did very well in the 1980s, but as a former NBA player, I Witnessed how Stern stepped down the altar step by step.”

Wang Jun made a comment and said it was the simplest. “He is a great man.”

Stern is indeed great. During his tenure, he has banned drugs, expanded the military, and expanded overseas markets. Every step has taken beautiful steps. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the NBA Jobs.

He used basketball to make a lot of money, and also made some not-so-subtle changes to the basketball game, but he did not conceal his flaws. He still injected blood and spirit into the basketball game, allowing basketball and the NBA to grow up to the point where they are today.

Stern also specifically mentioned Wang Jun. He said: “It’s great to see superstars like Michael Jordan before I retire. Wang Jun is the most valuable asset of the league. This is his time.”

Although he does not want foreign players to overwhelm local players, Stern has to admit that the appearance of Wang Jun has driven the development of the NBA, especially in Asia, and more and more people like basketball.

Touted by the president, Wang Jun was not happy.

The internal problems of the Kings broke out this season. Kidd’s coaching level has been widely questioned. Young players are not active in defense, grabbing the ball and brushing data; veteran Carter, Ray Allen and Barbosa are in a state of decline, and the defense is weak.

Until the All-Star weekend in February, the Kings didn’t take it easy, ranking fourth in the West.

Curry was injured and the overall strength of the team declined.

When Curry was there, people thought he was average, the breakthrough was not sharp enough, the pass was not fancy, the style of the ball was not attractive, more like a pitcher.

Without this super three-point point, people found that the game was difficult to play, the team players even more dared to sandwich the star. Thomas and Barbosa’s performance on the defensive end cannot be compared with Curry.

Wang Jun and James were selected as the Western Conference All-Star starters. They are the only constants for the King. Before the age of 35, they will definitely monopolize the starting position.

On the bench, Spurs’ Parker and Aldridge were selected together. Adelaide has replaced Duncan in the team and became the core of the inside attack.

Duncan is a selfless man, willing to do blue-collar shot reduction, focus on the defensive end, and also teach Ade some of his valuable experience to fight for the Spurs to complete the new and old rotation in the end of his career.

In team basketball, the Spurs have always done well.

Newcomers want to be in position, veterans are willing to give way, Ginobili and Duncan can help young people improve.

The king can’t do it, their core is not old, and even for three years, the newcomers can’t wait to prove that they can also become stars and pursue more ambitious goals.

People’s hearts are broken, the team is not easy to bring.

As a person, there will be desires and pursuits, and it is impossible to be willing to always surround others.

After winning the championship, don’t want the main force, don’t want money, just be the champion? How could there be such a fool.

Exposure rate, advertising endorsement, possession, popularity, status. In a team, it is impossible for everyone to own these things, no matter how good the manager and management can not coordinate.

In addition to the core, the NBA team’s lineup must often change, otherwise it will happen. This is why, apart from the Celtics, no team has won four consecutive championships.

The Celtics are because the age is too long, the opponents are all weak chickens, plus the salary was very low at that time, the players did not compare, in order to complete the eight consecutive championships.

Today’s star and role players have huge salary gaps, and they want big contracts after playing well. For example, Curry’s annual salary is 15 times that of Thomas, which is too exciting.

On the weekend of the star, Kobe Bryant grabbed the spotlight. He and Vanessa showed love together, avoiding a large amount of family property.

In the three-point contest, the Spurs’ Belinelli won the championship with 24 points.

Wang Jun participated in the dunk contest again. In order to make him interested, the league changed the rules back to the traditional format, and no longer played anything against the department.

This time Wang Jun had no competitors. He easily defeated the Wizards point guard Wall and won the championship for the third time, tying Nate Robinson’s record.

Through exercise, his bouncing power has been slightly improved. He performed two difficult dunks. He could not achieve the level of MR720, and his movements are already very beautiful.

Wall is a flawed player. UU reads www.uukanshu.com. During the dunk, he couldn’t jump off his left foot and finish the dunk with his right hand, which made him unable to make particularly difficult moves. Leaped his teammates, dunked backhand. This is not comparable to Wang Jun’s twisting of his body into a twist dunk.

On the final day of the star race, the Nets became the biggest winner, four were selected, namely Paul, Joe Johnson, Pierce and Randolph.

The Pacers’ Hibbert was selected to the All-Star team. It can be seen how bad the Eastern Conference lineup is.

The east continues to lose in a row. Since Wang Jun and James went to the king together, the east has never won.

Kyrie Irving was selected to the All-Star for the first time. He was elected MVP with an all-around performance of 31 points, 5 rebounds and 14 assists.

Bryant scored 30 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Durant 32 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, also eye-catching.

Both Wang Jun and James retained their physical strength and prepared for the regular season to fight hard for a good place.
