290 Yao Ming's next stop: Philadelphia 76ers
The Lakers' wave is known to everyone again, as if Li Lei and Yao Ming were standing there and asked them to choose.
But they certainly don’t know one thing: A hot topic will die!
They have competitors.
And the opponent is very strong.
As mentioned earlier, there are more than ten teams interested in Yao Ming.
Yao Ming hopes to cooperate with outside stars, which has eliminated some teams.
But it still leaves a strong competitor for the Lakers.
Philadelphia 76 people!
The Lakers have Kobe, and the 76ers have Iverson.
At this time, Iverson was much more famous than Kobe.
And Iverson likes Yao Ming even more.
Iverson once said: Yao Ming was a gift from God to NBA.
He has always wanted to cooperate with Yao Ming.
So in the end, Yao Ming's battle became a game between the 76ers and the Lakers.
But for some reason, Los Angeles people are particularly confident and have started singing the "Don't (Bu Yao) group" on social media.
"Los Angeles is a larger city, and Yao Ming's commercial value can be developed more perfectly."
"Kobe has rich experience in winning the championship. He can teach Yao Ming how to win the championship. Iverson can only teach Yao Ming how to lose."
"Kobe is younger, and Kobe and Yao Ming can work together longer."
...
Amid the public opinion of Los Angeles fans, Yao Ming seems to be a fool if he doesn't choose the Lakers.
They seem to have won.
For this reason, Yao Ming called Li Lei to discuss and asked Li Lei for his opinions.
Li Lei did not point fingers: "This is your own life, you have to be responsible for yourself."
Yao Ming said: "But I don't like the Lakers. They pursue you for the front foot, but because you are injured, they start pursuing me."
Li Lei smiled. Yao Ming was still kind, but: "This is your own choice, follow your own wishes. Don't take revenge on the Lakers because of my business, there is no need to."
Yao Ming: "Then you have no objection at all. What if it were you?"
What if it was me?
Li Lei thought for a while: "Iverson is 31 years old. If he plays for a few more years, I can get on the ranks. Kobe is only 28 years old, and Da Yao, you are 26 years old. If you are with Kobe, you will be the second leader for the rest of your life. Are you willing to be Pippen for the rest of your life?"
Yao Ming was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, and then a voice came: "I understand!"
...
In the first minute of the opening of the trading market, the big contract between Yao Ming and 76ers exploded.
5 years, $75 million, with a starting salary of $12.45 million.
Five years later, Yao Ming is 31 years old. If he is in good condition, he can sign another big contract.
Lakers fans were stunned.
Yao Ming...abandoned them.
"No, Yao Ming never chose you! Your arrogance has made you lose everything."
Philadelphia fans were excited.
Yao Ming Iverson, the 76ers are undoubtedly one of the favorites to win the championship next season.
Of course, this is a transaction that will be signed first and then exchanged.
The 76ers also paid Chris Webber and a series of first-round picks for Yao Ming.
...
Five minutes later, the Grizzlies' official website released a new deal.
The Heat sign first and then change.
Li Lei signed a five-year, $80 million maximum salary contract and was traded to the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies paid for Lorenzen White, Jack Chakalias, Chuckie Atkins, Damon Stadmeier, Mike Miller, and a large number of draft picks.
This is a big deal of 5 for 1.
White and Chakalias are the No. 5 position, which can make up for the problems of Mourning's retirement and O'Neal's aging.
Damon Stoudemire, Atkins is the No. 1 position, which can make up for the vacancy of Payton's retirement.
Mike Miller is the third position, used to replace Li Lei.
Li Lei finally left Miami.
The boss and general manager of 29 NBA teams shed tears of excitement: NBA's sky is dawn!
At the same time, the league's blockade against the Heat was unblocked, and other teams began to take the initiative to trade with the Heat in exchange for some experienced Finals players.
But a few minutes later, O'Neal's condition caused an uproar.
"You ruined my second dynasty, abominable bastards!"
This state has no beginning or end, but everyone knows that O'Neal is scolding the top leaders of the league led by Stern.
With a "super luxury tax" rule, the alliance finally forced Li Lei away.
The Heat's super battleship collapsed.
Although Li Lei has received a large number of useful assets, how can these things be compared with Li Lei?
A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find!
Another thousand ordinary players are not as valuable as Li Lei.
Soon, Miami fans and Chinese fans all supported O'Neal.
On the contrary, other fans not only did not support themselves, but instead felt gloating.
Aren’t you a super warship? No matter how arrogant you are!
But things are not finished yet.
Five minutes later, O'Neal posted a second status.
"I'm already 36 years old. If I can't win the championship next season, I will never win the second dynasty in my life. Bastards, do you know what you ruined?"
The first state is anger.
But this one has the sadness of a veteran.
Fans suddenly felt that the league's approach was too cruel.
They ruined a legendary NBA center who had a chance to go alongside Jordan.
O'Neal has been targeted too much in his life.
Reasonable collision zone, attack for three seconds, joint defense is allowed...
The alliance set a series of rules against O'Neal, and finally deprived O'Neal of his helpers.
O'Neal should be the most targeted player in NBA history.
Not long after, Li Lei commented in O'Neal's state.
"Even if there is no second dynasty, you are the best center in my heart in NBA history. You are the big guy who can compete with Black Jesus!"
Soon, Mike Jordan, the "God of Basketball" praised Li Lei's comment.
Jordan actually recognized Li Lei's words.
Subsequently, Wade, James, Yao Ming, Olajuwon, Ewing, Admiral, Magician... and other series of active stars, retired passing celebrities all praised it.
Fans even found Kobe among the liked people.
Even Kobe, who became enemies with O'Neal, recognized O'Neal's dominance.
"Shake, you're the most dominant guy in league history."
Subsequently, a group of famous coaches Rudy Tomjanovic, Pat Riley, Greg Popovich, Phil Jackson, Larry Brown, Don Nelson... also praised Li Lei's condition.
This made David Stern, who was in New York, feel a huge pressure.
Assistant Mark Jackson asked: "President, do you need to stop them?"
Stern smiled: "How to stop it?"
Mark Jackson opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.
Yes, even Stern can do nothing about the power of so many celebrities and famous coaches.
Stern said: "Forget it, they are right. I ruined a dynasty, a super battleship, O'Neal's legend, and Stone, Dwyane, and Pat's legendary career."
"I have to do this for the balance of the NBA alliance and for the development of the NBA."
"But I know it's wrong to do this. Even if they scold me, they should."
“As a fan, I also feel that my behavior is shameful.”
“Shake’s career has indeed been targeted too much.”
"How great would it be if I was not the president of NBA and just an ordinary fan!"
