Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

(It’s still not there today. Damn it. We really have to wait until the 7th. Guys, please hold on for one more day.)

Li Ang, the leader of the largest fraud gang in the 21st century.

His representative works include "The Future Is Yours", "I'm a Single" and "I'm Retiring".

The whole world was shaken by Li Ang. Everyone thought they could do whatever they wanted, but the alliance review came back!

At first, everyone was quite panicked.

But after the media analyzed it, the league teams suddenly felt that it made sense.

Yes, with the current situation of the Clippers, even if Li Ang plays for another year, it will be difficult for the Clippers to achieve anything.

Why is it so difficult to win three consecutive championships in the NBA, and why is it so difficult to win four consecutive championships except for the King of the Rings?

Because after a team wins consecutive championships, various problems often arise within the team.

For example, the mentality of the players will change. People who originally worked hard may relax because they win the championship too easily.

The representative of the Clippers is Diaw. This guy's weight last season was completely out of control, almost returning to what he was like during the Bobcats. Let's put it this way, as an NBA player, not only does Dior have no obvious muscle lines on his arms, he also has a bulging belly.

Coupled with the fact that his hair turns gray early at the age of 30, he looks like an innocent old man.

Although Diaw still does his duty after playing, overall he is not as hardworking as before.

As a role player, Diaw has won 6 championships with Li Ang. It is indeed difficult for you to ask him to stay as focused as he was back then.

In addition, after becoming a member of the championship, the player's value will soar, and it is very likely that he will find another place. Because the value of the team has soared, it means that it is difficult for the team to keep all members in order.

An example of the Clippers' soaring value is Jordan. Although Diaw has been the team's unbeatable starting power forward in the past few years, Diaw is now in extremely poor physical condition because he is too fat.

If he wants to maintain efficiency, he cannot play more than 30 minutes in a game.

Therefore, Jordan has received many opportunities in the past two years.

Although Jordan has studied with Duncan for so many years, he still hasn't learned any skills. But this guy's athletic ability is really terrifying, and he is active defensively. He can be regarded as a high-quality blue-collar player.

Last season, in about 20 minutes of playing time, he averaged 2 blocks per game.

Therefore, after his contract expired this summer, Jordan became a hot commodity on the free agent market.

Teams including the Warriors, Trail Blazers, etc. have all provided Jordan with a four-year, $43 million offer!

Although DeAndre Jordan is a restricted free agent, the Clippers have the right to match any offer.

But it is generally believed that the Clippers will not spend a high price of 43 million for a mere backup center.

The skyrocketing value and change in mentality are actually not the biggest problems for the team that has won consecutive championships.

The biggest problem for the consecutive championship teams is the aging lineup.

Among the Clippers' main rotations, Barnes is about to be 32 years old, Diaw is 30 years old, Leon is 32 years old, and James Jones is 32 years old. If Duncan returns, he will be 36 years old when the playoffs start next season!

The aging of the lineup actually means a decline in strength. Therefore, the Clippers' dominance next season will definitely decline.

The Clippers basically encountered all the common problems of consecutive championship teams. If you go to a bar and meet a scumbag, you won't meet someone so completely.

For a time, the ratio between the fans who thought Li Ang could be super and the fans who thought Li Ang would fall from the altar basically reached a ratio of 1:1.

Many people feel that Li Ang's choice to play for another year when Rose is reimbursed for the season is just like Jordan's comeback with the Wizards. It is an extremely bad choice, a choice that makes them fall from the altar.

Originally, if Li Ang retires and goes to sleep with his wife and children, his career will be impeccable.

But damn, if you come back during your peak period and lose, the value of your career will be greatly reduced.

Danzi's performance during the Wizards period was mediocre, but he still had age as an excuse. You can't ask a 40-year-old middle-aged man to do better.

But if Li Ang doesn't play well this time, he won't even have an excuse.

The shrewd emperor has lost his mind!

Don't fail to win four consecutive championships and make upgrade packages for others. It will be more gain than loss.

Beverly was also very proud. He really didn't expect that Li Ang would play for another year at first. But judging from the current situation, it is not certain who will be bitten in the end!

While the outside world is still worried about Li Ang's future next season, Li Ang has already started pre-season training.

Because he planned to retire from the beginning, Li Ang has not even been able to maintain his figure in the past five months, let alone training. One of the few exercises that burns calories is playing poker with Scarlett.

The kind where the loser gets his clothes every month.

Although Li Ang is not as fat as Dior, he is indeed slightly fatter.

Therefore, Li Ang not only has to seize the time to trigger Kobe's self-abuse badge, but also has to adjust his condition before the start of the season.

Time is very tight for Li Ang, because it has been suspended for too long, so the league does not want to delay another day. On Christmas Day, the 25th, the new season will start immediately.

Li Ang fully calculated and only had one month to prepare for the competition.

Even Kobe felt that he couldn't beat Li Ang.

Every day when the genius is bright, Kobe will hear the sound of Leon's Ferrari speeding by.

His Ferrari wouldn't come back until late at night.

Li Ang really does not dare to waste time, the situation next season is very serious. Li Ang cannot guarantee the integrity of the team's lineup, but at least he must ensure that his personal status will not cause problems.

As for the team's lineup, Dunleavy, as general manager, is also doing his best. I hope that through the transaction, I can find some helpers for Li Ang.

But after Dunleavy entered the card table, he discovered that the Clippers had been isolated!

No team is willing to trade with the Clippers because no one is willing to strengthen the Clippers.

Even if the Clippers are so dilapidated, everyone is not willing to let anyone go to the Clippers.

Everyone is afraid of providing a divine assist for the Clippers' fourth consecutive championship.

The Clippers are the biggest threat in the league, so it is understandable that everyone is unwilling to trade with the Clippers.

But Dunleavy said, I just want to find a few role players. Do you deserve to be so exaggerated? ?

I won’t pry you as the star player!

Fuck you, role players can’t just give it to you. Although you don’t pry with my wife, you can’t pry with my sister-in-law either!

Teams really don't even dare to give role players to the Clippers, because Li Ang has this kind of magic that can make seemingly useless role players shine around him.

Are there not enough role players around Li Ang?

No one wanted Barnes at the time, but now he is one of the best 3D wings in the league.

No one wanted Dior back then, right? As a result, he helped Li Ang win so many championships.

No one wanted James Jones back then, right? As a result, there is no room for Maotai in Li Ang’s house now!

Therefore, no matter how inconspicuous a role player is, he will definitely not give it to the Clippers!

So, a week later, when Leon and Ballmer asked Dunleavy how the recruitment work was going, Dunleavy just scratched his head in embarrassment:

"Although we haven't introduced anyone, from another perspective, no one from our team has left!"

Li Ang:.

Brother, you can just mess around when you are the head coach. Now that you are the general manager, can you stop being a bastard?

Fortunately, at this time, Duncan gave Li Ang a condom for the bed.

After thinking about it for a week, Duncan decided to follow in Li Ang's footsteps and play for another year.

Over the past few years, although Duncan and Li Ang still have no tacit understanding in celebration, they have become quite familiar with each other on the court.

Duncan sees that the Clippers are currently struggling to recruit players, and he doesn't want to watch Li Ang's plan to win four consecutive championships fail.

Li Ang was very moved, I really didn't misjudge you, idiot!

However, the outside world is ridiculing Duncan's comeback.

Duncan only averaged 13 points per game last season. Last season was the first time in his career that Duncan failed to average a double-double.

Duncan's decline is very, very obvious.

When you come out to hang out, you have to care about your strength and your age. Duncan already played like that last season. It's useless for you to come back this season.

Although Duncan is still famous, how much practical effect can he play?

The media are ridiculing that the Clippers really can't find anyone, and even retired people like Duncan are forced to come back.

I have only heard of hospitals rehiring old professors, but I have never heard of teams rehiring old mathematicians.

At this time, even Li Ang's die-hard fans are very worried about Li Ang's prospects next season.

After a long period of reinforcement, the old Duncan comes back?

They admired Li Ang's courage, and very much wanted to see Li Ang smash the faces of the treacherous media and smash Beverly's face.

But to be honest, Li Ang's situation next season is really not optimistic at present.

Even Li Ang, who has been creating miracles, would find it difficult to create such an exaggerated miracle.

In the following days, the Clippers still gained nothing in the trading market, and no team was willing to trade with the Clippers.

There is no other way, Dunleavy can only target free agents.

In mid-December, the Clippers finally made a signing. They used a veteran's minimum salary to sign Jermaine O'Neal, his old partner with Li Ang who won three championships in Phoenix, to strengthen their inside depth.

O'Neal Jr. has become an amateur since leaving the Suns, and is no longer the big star he was before.

But O'Neal has experience after all, and his condition improved last season. Especially on the defensive end, his efficiency is actually very high.

The other teams in the league are not stupid either. The Clippers are not the only ones who see that O'Brien still has gas in the tank.

Lukai offered Xiao Ao a middle-class contract with an annual salary of 5 million.

But O'Brien rejected Green Kai, and instead offered the Clippers a minimum salary to vote for.

O'Neal Jr. was a loyal person before, and he is still the same now.

If Li Ang needs him, he will not refuse.

He knew very well that without Li Ang, his peak period would not have been so brilliant.

Li Ang took me flying back then, but now that my brother is in trouble, Xiao Ao and I will not hesitate to do anything!

These few words were so touching that Li Ang was deeply moved.

After Duncan returned, the Clippers again won O'Brien because of Li Ang. Duncan and Xiao Ao are actually friendly franchises.

It can only be said that Li Ang has not been in the league in vain these years.

However, this signing is still not very optimistic.

O'Neal Jr. is indeed very good as a substitute. If Jordan really leaves, then how can the Clippers survive just relying on Duncan and O'Neal to guard the inside.

However, Jordan's situation has not yet been decided, and the Clippers quickly acquired a point guard to replace Rose in the free agent market.

He is known as European Iverson, Dallas Manu. Of course, he has a nickname that Chinese fans are more familiar with - Puerto Rico Mountain.

Although JJ Barea is short, he is a pretty good point guard.

Of course, the Clippers had no way to sign a No. 1 player of the same level as Rose, so they could only choose the best among the options available.

But even so, the Clippers' lineup is still incomplete.

With Iverson's retirement and Rose's season reimbursement, the Clippers will only have Barea as a point guard next season.

Moreover, letting Barea play the starting point guard is still a very risky decision.

So, Li Ang simply told Lu Zi: "Otherwise, next season, I will play point guard!"

Li Ang is really preparing to play from the inside to the No. 1 position.

Li Ang does have the ability to play the No. 1 position. Although Rose has been the Clippers' No. 1 position in the past three years, Rose actually doesn't care much about organizing offense.

Most of the time, it is Li Ang who connects the team.

And if Li Ang plays the one position, the Clippers' starting lineup will be slightly more reasonable.

Last summer, the Clippers signed mourning shooter Danny Green. Although Green has not fully grown up, he is not the Green who defeated the Heat in the finals in history.

But it's better to start him than to start Barea.

If Li Ang starts at point guard, the Clippers' three outside starters will be Li Ang, Green and Barnes.

In this way, at least there won't be too obvious weaknesses.

After hearing this suggestion, Lu Zi nodded without thinking: "Li Ang is right!"

Although he has won three championships, he is still the same Lu Zi and has not changed at all.

From this point of view, the Clippers' lineup next season can only be like this.

This may be the simplest time for Li Ang's teammates so far in his career.

Except for Li Ang, no one in the team averages 15 points per game.

But Li Ang knows very well that as long as the lineup is properly matched, the strongest power can be unleashed.

Basketball games are never games that can be won just by joining forces with giants.

Just when Li Ang thought the Clippers were going to start next season with this attitude, he received a phone call.

The person who called surprised Li Ang very much.

At night, Li Ang felt a little uncomfortable looking at the man in front of him who was wearing a spotless suit and sitting upright.

"Actually, you don't have to be so formal. We can be more casual." Li Ang smiled awkwardly.

"Is it official? I do this every day. By the way, Li. Can you go get a haircut this afternoon? The length of your temples is a little different. It looks too uncomfortable."

Li Ang:.

After so many years, your obsessive-compulsive disorder has not improved at all!

That's right, the person sitting in front of Li Ang at this time is none other than Mr. Lei, a late-stage obsessive-compulsive disorder patient in the NBA and the man who wears the most formal suits in the NBA.

Junzi Lei called Li Ang yesterday and expressed that he wanted to meet Li Ang.

Li Ang was a little surprised because he and Jun Zilei did not have a deep personal relationship.

When they were young, the two were still rivals.

At this time, I don’t know why Ray Allen wants to meet.

Ray Allen seemed to see Li Ang's confusion, so he got straight to the point: "I came to you today to discuss joining the Clippers."

There are not many things that can surprise Li Ang, but what Ray Allen said is one of the few.

"Today is not April Fool's Day, Allen."

"Be serious, Lee, because I am discussing this issue with you very seriously. Let's be honest, I want to win the championship. And, I want to beat the Heat and win the championship!"

"Then you may have come to the wrong place. We only have a group of old people here, and one of them is still an idiot."

Duncan: Xiao Ao, I’m talking about you.

Li Ang's self-deprecation is quite helpless. The Clippers are indeed too old next season.

The young ones, like Danny Green and Jimmy Butler, have not yet grown up.

"Yes, your lineup is not advantageous compared to other teams. But I'm not here for the Clippers, I'm here for you!"

Li Ang, I know very well what kind of pervert you are.

Oh, forgive me for maybe being a little more direct with my words. "

Li Ang's mouth twitched, I didn't do anything to you back then!

Don't I just make you cry every time I see you, and you just call me a pervert?

"I mean, I know your abilities and your determination very well. I know that even if the Clippers' lineup doesn't have much advantage, you can still turn the tide. That's who you are. After all, I never had it back then. Beat you."

"Okay, why do you want to beat the Heat so much? They have no grudges against you." Li Ang continued to ask curiously.

"Yes, the Heat and I have no grudges, but LeBron.

It's about dignity, Lee. In Cleveland, they were always talking about wanting me to play less minutes, and they even wanted me to come off the bench. They just used me as a containment machine, running repeatedly but not giving me any chance to score. I had to stand in the corner a lot of the time!

But even so, I endured it all. But in the end, LeBron just patted his ass and left. The reason is that he feels that he does not have strong teammates. I swear, I didn't know anything about it before he announced on the national broadcast that he was joining the Heat.

Even if you want to leave, you must at least tell me.

So who am I? Is this respect? "

Ray Allen was very excited. This was also the first time that Li Ang saw Junzi Lei so angry.

Junzi Lei is indeed well-educated, but that doesn't mean he has no temper.

Why did he switch to the Heat in the original history? Because he didn't deal with Rondo, he also had conflicts with Pierce and Garnett.

Since you don't need me, then I will go where you need me and defeat you!

Now, Ray Allen also has this mentality. In Cleveland, next to James, Ray Allen has lowered his profile as much as possible and has tried his best to meet the requirements of the team and James.

But what about the end? People leave as soon as their pants are lifted.

Ray Allen has always been worried about this. He really wants to kill the Heat with his own hands.

You said I couldn't win the championship and then said I didn't have strong teammates. Then if Li Ang leads me to win the championship, doesn't it mean that the problem is actually on your side! ?

Besides, Ray Allen has wanted to join forces with Li Ang a long time ago. When he went to Cleveland, it was actually his second choice after teaming up with Leon was hopeless.

Now, the opportunity has come!

Li Ang really didn't expect that even if he asked his old friends to join him, he could actually attract his former opponents to join him.

If Junzi Lei can really come, it will definitely be a huge addition to the team's strength!

but.

"Your contract with the Cavaliers will not expire until next year. I will retire next year. Next year, I will really retire." Li Ang shrugged. He couldn't wait for Junzi Lei for a year.

But Junzi Lei smiled: "It doesn't expire until next year, but I have a player option. I can get out of the contract. It just so happens that the Cavaliers no longer want to spend money on me."

"You don't understand, Allen. We have no salary space. Although Rose can't play next season, his salary is still included. Even if you break out of the contract, we can't give you tens of millions of annual salary.

Now, we probably only have room for one mid-level contract, so..."

"Then sign a mid-level contract, I don't care."

"What?" Li Ang was completely stupid, first Xiao Ao, and then Jun Zi Lei, you guys really treat Daole like dirt!

The remaining one-year contract between Ray Allen and the Cavaliers has a salary of up to 10 million.

Jump out of the current 10 million-year contract and sign a mid-level contract.

How much do you want to defeat the Heat! ?

Junzi Lei really doesn't care much about salary. Anyway, the difference is only three to four million.

If he loses these three to four million, he will not lose a piece of meat, and if he gets more of these three or four million, his career will not get much better.

Winning a championship or defeating the Heat and James to win the championship, Junzi Lei thinks it is more meaningful than getting a few million more.

"Have you thought it through?" Li Ang was a little surprised by his appeal.

"You know my character, Li. If you don't want to know clearly, I won't come to you. The key is, are you ready? The next season will be different from your previous two seasons. It will not be just playing house. Can win the championship.

The difficulty of winning the championship next season may be higher than every time you have experienced before. "

Faced with Ray Allen's doubts, Li Ang leaned back on the sofa relaxedly: "You also know me, Allen. For others, I will always be the most difficult one."

The next day, the Clippers made one of their most surprising additions.

Ray Allen had just announced that he would opt out of the last year of his contract to test the free agent market, and then signed a one-year contract with the Clippers.

No one understands Ray Allen's behavior of lowering his salary.

I don’t even know what kind of ecstasy drug Li Ang gave these old guys, and why they all went to him.

Although Ray Allen is no longer a star, he only averaged 14 points per game last season.

But it has to be said that this is still a great addition to the Clippers.

After signing Junzi Lei, the Clippers announced that they would match the Warriors' offer for DeAndre Jordan, retaining DeAndre Jordan for 43 million in four years.

Ballmer keeps his word. As long as the rules allow it, he will do whatever it takes to maintain the lineup he wants for Li Ang and help Li Ang win the championship at all costs!

The Clippers' lineup will never fall apart because of money issues.

The reason why there has been no matching before is not because of reluctance, but because if the match is made too early, the Clippers will have no salary space for reinforcements. Therefore, I want to wait until the reinforcement is completed before matching, so that I can take the risk of renewing the contract.

From beginning to end, Ballmer never thought about money at all.

Jordan is also very happy. He actually wants to stay with the Clippers, but he is really tempted by the annual salary of tens of millions, so it is very difficult.

Well now, he has received an annual salary of tens of millions from the team he wants to stay. It is a win-win situation.

Brother Li, don’t worry, I will definitely do a good job next season! As long as it is the cake you feed me, I will eat it even if I am exhausted!

At this point, the Clippers' 12-man roster for the new season has been confirmed.

Although Ray Allen was introduced and Jordan was retained, it was still the same as before. Apart from Leon, the team did not have a second player who averaged 15 points per game last season.

It can be regarded as an out-and-out single-core team.

Regardless of the year or generation, it is extremely difficult for a single-core team to win the championship.

But Li Ang is very confident about next season.

Because this time, they all came together for the same goal.

Sometimes, a united single-core team may be more terrifying than a multi-giant team.

Thanks to Qiu Shuichu, obsessive-compulsive disorder patient # and other big guys for tipping, thank you all!
