Chapter 284 The Crucial Year of Thunder Tyrannosaurus
Portland Municipal Airport lobby.
"Mike, I didn't expect that you would be the one who left."
Waking up overnight, Wang Zelin, who was still immersed in the carnival, saw his little brother being traded, and his joy was washed away a lot.
"It's nothing, Wang. The NBA is a business league. Separation is the norm. You have to adapt to it."
Mike Roberts said with a hippie smile.
Unexpectedly, those who came to comfort were comforted by those who left.
"Haha, yes, I believe in your ability. No one in Brooklyn's bad team can compete with you."
"That's necessary, and I don't even look at who this uncle is."
After laughing, the two put away their smiles.
Wang Zelin stepped forward, hugged Mike Roberts, and said in his ear: "Come on! My brother! Maybe you will be able to bloom your own brilliance in the East, unlike now, with me and LaMarcus standing in front of you."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" After parting, Mike Roberts continued: "However, I still want to thank you for your blessing. Next time we meet, we will be opponents... Sigh, it's unimaginable that one day I will become the opponent of a monster like you... It's really scary!"
After speaking, Mike Roberts turned decisively and boarded the airport.
Finding his seat and sitting down, Mike Roberts had a panoramic view of the Portland scenery below through the glass of the plane.
The eyes of the man who has always been a tough guy in the NBA are already red.
I am also a man who has set foot in the Western Conference finals. How many famous stars have worked hard for so many years and have not touched it!
Speaking of which, I'm pretty lucky.
Farewell, my brother!
Farewell, beautiful Portland!
When I say goodbye, I will let you guys see my growth.
……
Back in the arena, Wang Zelin practiced extra hours alone until late at night.
Before he knew it, it was already the second NBA season, but he still felt uncomfortable with the hasty coming and going of players.
Fortunately, there is basketball to accompany me!
After practicing for another half an hour, it was already 03:30 in the morning. After taking a shower in the bathroom and changing clothes, Wang Zelin closed the door of the tavern and prepared to go home by car.
"Ok?"
After he came out, he found that there was a man hovering beside his car.
Take a closer look, good guy, it's Lillard.
"I said, you don't sleep at night, why are you running away from me? Those who don't know think you are a car thief!"
Wang Zelin stepped forward and joked.
"You still have the nerve to say, we originally agreed that we would release an album together during the off-season. I posted the news on my Facebook account a long time ago. The fans are looking forward to it, but now..."
As soon as they met, Lillard began to complain.
As he was talking, Wang Zelin slapped his head, only to remember that there was still such a thing.
"Wang, don't tell me, you are not prepared!" Lillard doubted.
"Ahem, how is it possible? Don't insult my noble personality with your skeptical eyes. It's just a mere album. Isn't it enough to have a hand?"
Wang Zelin hurriedly patted his chest, speaking righteously.
"Okay, let's go record now!"
After finishing speaking, Lillard grabbed Wang Zelin by the hand.
The latter remained motionless.
"what's wrong?"
Lillard asked.
"I said, there is something wrong with your designation here. Who do you ask to record at night? Even if it can be recorded, I have just finished playing and I am not in the best state."
Wang Zelin was speechless.
"Uh, yes."
Lillard let go of his hand in embarrassment.
"Forget it, I'll go back to rest first. At 9 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, you will come to my house to find me, so we made an appointment."
"Oh."
Lillard nodded numbly.
When the roar of the car gradually disappeared, he suddenly reacted.
No, why the day after tomorrow?
Can't tomorrow?
Back home, after parking the car, Wang Zelin took a sip of cold water to suppress his shock, and said with lingering fears: "Fortunately, labor and management are smart, and they dragged on for a day, otherwise I really can't explain it."
After Lillard did this, Wang Zelin lost all sleepiness. He returned to the bedroom, lifted the quilt, and saw Lena in a dark red transparent lace pajamas, and couldn't help licking his tongue.
……
The world never turns around for one person, it has been like this since ancient times.
After the transaction information of Portland and the Nets caused a brief sensation, in the following days, the summer trading market will have new transaction information updates every day.
Take, for example, the high-profile defending champion team, the Miami Heat.
On the same day, the defending champion has signed Eric Griffin, a small forward with a height of 2 meters 03.
It is reported that this is a non-guaranteed training camp contract, which means that Griffin will participate in the Heat's training camp before the start of the new season...
After all, this Griffin is not the Griffin of the Clippers. According to the "Miami Sun Sentinel" reporter Ira Vindman broke the news on his personal Twitter:
There are indications that after the training camp, the Heat are likely to transfer Griffin to the Development League, so that once the team suffers from injuries in the new season, Griffin can become a good choice.
There is one thing to say, Griffin's overall strength can only be called average. The reason why the outside world has paid so much attention is because the team that signed him is called the Miami Heat.
In the past two years, the Heat have successfully won the championship and achieved two consecutive championships. They are the only two consecutive championship teams since the 21st century, second only to the dynastic team led by the OK combination at the beginning of the century, the Los Angeles Lakers.
A dynasty!
Looking at the history of the NBA, there have only been three dynasties teams: the Celtics, the Scarlet Bulls and the Zijin Army at the beginning of the century.
As for the so-called "odd-year dynasty" of the Spurs in the mouths of many fans, it is nothing more than an alternative compliment. Even Tim Duncan himself dare not claim that he has established a dynasty team.
Because the dynasty's hard target is there: it must defeat all opponents for three consecutive years and win the O'Brien Cup!
Not even a year in between.
From the title of "Son of the Chosen" who stepped into the league, everyone knows that James has only one purpose in entering the league, and that is to conquer.
Now that the Heat have conquered the active league under his leadership, the next thing the Heat are about to challenge is the three dynasties teams standing at the top of the NBA pyramid.
As long as they win the championship in the 2013~2014 season, the Heat can also become the fourth dynasty team in history, and for James as the core, it is equally significant.
This symbolizes that he is one step closer to being a god.
It is precisely because of this that the Heat's every move attracts the hearts of countless fans and team management.
"3" is a magical number in the land of Militia, three times in a row represents the complete domination of a certain field.
No team is willing to see the Heat successfully establish a dynasty. Once successful, it will undoubtedly admit its weakness in disguise.
No one will take the initiative to admit their weakness, this is the instinctive reaction of human nature.
Therefore, the Heat's reinforcement plan for the third year is destined to be full of difficulties. Whenever the Heat's management has a little trouble, other teams will obstruct it openly or covertly.
Both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls have experienced such a situation, but in the end they both overcame various difficulties and successfully established a dynasty.
This is why the dynasty team is so rare, and once the dynasty is successfully established, the bonus to the player's historical status will be so great...
Especially the bonus for the core players of the team!
Why every time you talk about the number one center in history, you can never get around the big shark Shaquille O'Neal.
Because he was once the absolute core of a dynastic team, he has enough qualifications to challenge all the super centers that have appeared in history... except for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Because they are from the same team, the most glorious moments of their careers were spent in the Lakers, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is still a senior, so when comparing O'Neal and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, they will always appear slightly weaker.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's position at center is so unique.
When comparing with other teams, others will first compare the strongest center in other teams' history with O'Neal.
Compare the two.
At first glance, good guy, even O'Neill can't compare, how can he compare with O'Neill's senior Tiangou!
And in the same-pair comparison, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar naturally took some points because of his senior status...
Let's say that.
If Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and O'Neal's playing years were reversed, and the two achieved the same achievements, if they compare the two, there will definitely be people who think that O'Neal is stronger.
And this kind of people is by no means a small number in the fan base.
In other words, the two did not achieve these achievements with the Lakers at all, but they were in the Lakers respectively. When comparing any two teams in the NBA, no one will think that O'Neal will earn half as much as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
At least the fans who support the view that "O'Neal is the number one center in history" will not have their voices as weak as when comparing with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but it should be a situation where the courts compete.
It can be seen that the importance of the identity of the core players of the dynasty.
As we all know, there are a total of 5 positions in a basketball game.
As far as the current stage is concerned, among the five positions, the historical No. 5 of point guard, shooting guard and power forward has been unanimously recognized by the media management and fans.
Magician-Ervin Johnson, the God of Basketball-Michael Jordan and the No. 21 rookie of the Holy City forever-Tim Duncan.
There are too many big players in the history of the competition for the center position. After all, half of the No. [-] picks in the NBA draft are centers. It can be seen that the position of the center has a unique position in the basketball world.
At the same time, it also reflects that there are too many fairy players at the center position.
Instead, the small forward at the third position is currently showing a three-legged situation.
who?
The first recommendation must be the former Celtics star, the king of the king, the big bird ~ Larry Bird.
Followed by the former Bulls B & B, Batman ~ Scottie Pippen.
The last is the league's active No.1, the little emperor ~ LeBron James.
If you have to divide it into first, second, and third, the current rankings recognized by most people are Larry Bird, LeBron James, and Scottie Pippen.
Although Pippen was second only to Jordan's hero during the Bulls' two dynasties, the position of the second child is really too embarrassing.
It can be said that success is also Jordan, and defeat is also Jordan.
What's more, considering that James has already won two consecutive championships at the age of 28, plus all the new records in NBA history belong to him... he was an old blacksmith in Los Angeles before.
Therefore, if there is no big surprise, it is almost certain that James will surpass Pippen.
But Byrd was different.
It's too hard to force the king!
It belongs to the type of what you want.
In his rookie season, he defeated Magic Johnson, was elected the Rookie of the Year, and was also among the best teams...
Of course, the magician later became the FMVP of the rookie season in the playoffs and successfully regained a victory.
In the second grade, Bird not only won the All-Star Game MVP, but in the playoffs, when the Celtics fell behind 1:3, relying on his brave performance, the Celtics advanced to the finals with 2 points, 2 points, and 1 point in a row.
Facing Mosaic in the finals, Bird helped the Celtics win the championship again after 6 years.
After the end of the second grade, he won every three to five, and won two championships in succession.
In 92, Bird, as one of the five starters, represented the "Dream Team" and won the Barcelona Olympic gold medal...
For number one, people always have special feelings in it.
James has entered the league for about ten years. If you compare it with Bird across history, it will be better than the first ten years of their careers...
There is one thing to say, the first ten years of Bird's career are indeed more magical than James's first ten years, and his achievements are slightly stronger.
At present, in the battle for the small forward position NBA No. 1, the two have generally shown a tie.
If it is really impossible to choose one as the number one small forward in history, more people may still be willing to vote for Larry Bird.
James is particularly aware of this.
Therefore, he has always avoided talking about the ownership of the "No. [-] small forward in history" that has been hotly debated by the outside world.
He prefers to prove himself with actions.
How to act?
Very simple.
Just win this year's championship and achieve a three-peat dynasty!
At that time, he can justifiably ascend to the position of the number one small forward in history, and only then can he be qualified to compare with the historical No.1 in other positions.
Especially the historical No.1 Michael Jordan in the scoring position.
Can't surpass Larry Bird and become the No.1 small forward. What does he use to make a preliminary comparison with Jordan?
In the same way, presumably Bird is also aware of the current situation.
Of course, he doesn't want to give up his position as the number one small forward in history, which he had originally held securely. This will seriously affect the evaluation of his historical status.
For example, the NBA legend "Big O" Robertson, originally he did a good job in the position of the historical three-point leader, and he is the only player in history to achieve a triple-double in the season.
Therefore, every time we talk about the number one point guard in history, Big O is always the magician's strongest opponent.
After all, Big O also has the top hard honor of regular season MVP, coupled with the aura of "historical triple-double king", it is inevitable that some fans will favor him, even if he is really not comparable to the magician, he can barely touch it.
Until later, a tortoise crawled out of the sewer, which completely pulled down the myth of Big O's triple-double from the altar, and even made the triple-double, which was once a rare fairy data, become a derogatory term.
It's outrageous!
It is estimated that Big O is the one who hates turtles the most.
is not that right?
In 2020, before Wang Zelin's rebirth, when the TOP5 list of the best point guards in history was selected, there was no place for the big O. Even if it was the top 10 in the selection, the big O was at the bottom.
Anyway, he was regarded by most people as the second or third point guard in history, and he can still touch the magician.
If you touch it now, good guy, it's just an act of touching porcelain!
Therefore, Bird is also witnessing all this in secret.
If James finally succeeds in winning the championship, as a senior, no matter how reluctant he is, he has to stand up and pinch his nose to admit his status as the number one small forward in history.
Once James fails to win the championship...
Ha ha!
Then it will be wonderful.
Don't forget, this guy is one of the best trash talkers in history, and he left behind countless famous scenes.
Do you really think that a dignified generation of kings is a good-tempered person?
This afternoon, the teacher has something to do and will not be in class. If I have time, I will give you one more chapter.
