Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 998: Legendary Curtain Call

The largest contract in history is born!

After the new labor agreement was finalized, Zuo Li once again dominated basketball headlines everywhere.

As the most successful junior in history, Zuo Li finally received a big contract that matches his achievements.

Suddenly, there was a turmoil in the outside world, with envy, jealousy, congratulations, congratulations...

All kinds of emotions were aroused because of Zuo Li's contract.

"Zuo Li has the opportunity to become the highest-paid player in NBA history!"

ESPN's report added fuel to the beating flame. Fans are wondering how much salary Zuo Li will receive when he retires.

But as the center of the storm, Zuo Li was not as excited as people expected.

This is normal. After all, just two days before he signed with the Knicks, he had just completed a blockbuster deal worth 1 billion US dollars. Although the salary of 150 million was enough, it was not compared with 1 billion.

A small witch is compared to a big witch.

Earlier, Zuo Li had a net worth of hundreds of millions, and this contract is just the icing on the cake, proving Zuo Li's strength on the basketball court.

Of course, being able to prove oneself with salary is already one of the highest honors on the basketball court. It would be a bit hypocritical to say that he is not happy at all, but Zuo Li really cannot be happy at this moment.

At eight o'clock in the evening on December 6, Zuo Li received a phone call.

After Zuo Li finished his evaluation, he put down his phone and exhaled.

Dayao, who was far away in Shanghai, held a press conference. At the press conference, Dayao announced his retirement, ending his short and brilliant basketball career.

However, the text accompanying this picture makes people unable to laugh out loud, because on this day, the most dominant center in NBA history and the eternal "Shark" Shaquille O'Neal announced his retirement, ending his 19-year career.

years of career.

Some fans even exclaimed: "The center era ended so suddenly?!"

But it is so difficult to have no regrets. Although countless people think that O'Neal is a waste of talent, his achievements have already surpassed 99% of players. What is even more valuable is that he has completed 99% of his goals as a player.

He has his pride, and for him, everything is enough so far.

On December 10, four days after O'Pan announced his retirement, just when people were lamenting the end of an era, another piece of news came.

How to describe this legendary player?

But the finger stopped on the screen.

Half an hour after putting down the phone, Zuo Li opened INS and saw the current top trending search.

Shark sits under the basket and brings disaster to the world. Every night, every player who plays against him is a torture. Shark is extremely strong, but his feet are quick and nimble, and his back turns are especially quick. Defensive players often

He tried his best to push and hug him, but suddenly his vision went dark, and then he involuntarily hung on the giant beast and took off.

Whenever he sees O'Neal's naive smile, Zuo Li always has this scene before his eyes. O'Neal is holding the ball, with his back to the basket, his center of gravity pressed down, and leaning back slightly. The defensive players are pushing and shoving desperately, trying to keep the shark away from the basket.

The defenders made up for it in time, and two, three, or even four people surrounded O'Neal. Suddenly he turned around, with a turning speed that was not commensurate with his huge body, and strode to the basket with two weapons hanging on his body.

More than one defensive player, take off, dunk, the earth will shake.

He is an alternative big man in the NBA. He is affable, has a big grin, and smiles silly but always laughs silly. He chats with players and fans, and makes crazy jokes in front of the camera, making the children laugh.

Ride yourself as a teddy bear.

The data is perfect. It is a life-long dream for any center to get such data.

Thinking of this, Zuo Li no longer hesitated. He didn't need to evaluate O'Neal's career. The outside world had their own opinions, and all he had to do was bless Shaq.

What can I say?

Zuo Li fell into deep thought.

But it's not all without benefits, at least they have the opportunity to appear in major highlights and become a different kind of highlight warriors.

"This day has finally come." Zuo Li silently liked it and opened the comments, wanting to send his retirement blessings to this legend and big brother.

But unfortunately, data is not all O'Neal left to the NBA.

In his 19-year NBA career, Shaquille O'Neal averaged 23.7 points, 10.9 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game; he scored a total of 28,596 points in his career, 13,099 rebounds, and shot 58.2% from the field.

In these 19 years, O'Neal won the NBA championship 4 times, was elected NBA regular season MVP once, was elected FMVP 3 times, was selected to the NBA All-Star team 15 times and was elected NBA All-Star MVP 3 times, and was selected to the NBA All-NBA First Team 8 times.

, was selected to the NBA All-NBA Second Team 4 times, to the NBA All-NBA Third Team 2 times, to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team 3 times, and to the NBA scoring champion 2 times. In 1996, he was selected into the top 50 NBA historical players.

The two legendary centers announced their retirement at the same time within a week, leaving all fans unable to react.

O'Neal is an NBA legend.

When you open the hot search, what appears is the iconic smile of a fat man. His provocative movements and fat figure make people laugh.

"Happy retirement, start a new stage, old man. It's a pity that I didn't compete with you at the top. I wish you happiness in the days to come. I wish you the best, my friend."

But not everyone will have an opportunity like O'Neal.

Because although it was delayed some time compared to the original universe, what was coming was bound to come, and the major events in Zuo Li's memory still happened according to the original inertia.

The legend will eventually come to an end, and he will also have this day in the future. What they have to do is to leave no regrets in their limited career.

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar and the fans were speechless.

Big contracts, popularity, championships, personal honors... O'Neal lacks nothing.

Zuo Li silently opened O'Neal's career data.

As Dayao's friend and brother, Zuo Li also knew about this matter early. In fact, the two had discussed this issue many times last season. Zuo Li once invited Dayao to come to the Knicks, but Dayao refused.

.

Yao Ming was selected by the Rockets with the first pick in the first round of the 2002 draft. He has played for the Rockets throughout his NBA career. He has played in 486 games for the team, including 476 starts. He averaged 19 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game, shooting 52.4% from the field and making free throws.

Although in terms of career, Dayao cannot be compared with O'Neal, but similarly, Dayao brings more to the NBA than just the data itself.

What Zuo Li remembers the most is that before every game of the Chinese men's basketball team in the 2008 Olympic Games, Yao Ming would summon his teammates to his side and shout loudly: "Today, we surrender ourselves to the motherland, and we must go all out!"

It is undeniable that because of Yao Ming, many Chinese fans began to pay attention to the NBA. Because of Yao Ming, many Chinese fans have a rocket complex. He has also become a bridge between China and the United States, making countless young Chinese people fall in love with basketball.

I fell in love with the NBA.

Dayao is a legend and well deserved.
