I’m Really Playing Basketball

In San Antonio, looking at the large, medium and small newspapers in hand reporting the news of Duncan's love affair, to be honest, Popovich is desperate.

Originally, he and the Spurs management were prepared to accept Amy Duncan's invitation and work together to convince Duncan to break the contract he had initialed with the Magic.

The Spurs were shocked by Amy Duncan, a player's family who always stood by their side.

They have never seen players' families who are so loyal to the team. Players' families are more loyal to the team than the players. This is truly unprecedented and unprecedented.

Shocked, but if they can cooperate with Amy Duncan to force Duncan to stay in the Spurs, then the Spurs will get a Ron Howard for nothing and get another Tim Duncan. This will be so cool!

Sign another star in the free market, and the Spurs will complete their rebuild in an instant.

Just when Amy Duncan was always on their side, making Popovich feel that there might really be a bright future, suddenly a bolt from the blue struck.

The first model couple in the NBA has changed their relationship!

To be fair, although Amy Duncan was not Duncan's first girlfriend, the two fell in love in college.

At that time, Duncan was a star player at Wake Forest University and Amy was a cheerleader at Wake Forest University.

Star players and cheerleaders, this combination, whether in the NCAA or NBA, usually has a playful relationship with each other.

At that time, many people were not optimistic about Duncan and Amy, but the two finally came together, dated for five years, and finally got married in 2001. It has been eight years now.

Eight years of love, for NBA stars, can be called an eternity.

What a beautiful couple, if they say it’s gone, it’s gone!

However, Popovich read the whole story of Amy Duncan's cheating in the newspaper and found that this woman really didn't just do it for a while, nor did she do it once or twice. She was having a lot of fun!

Amy Duncan is very beautiful. Even now, she is still a heart-stopping blonde with long legs. She is no worse than those female stars in Hollywood. Among white women, there are not many who are more beautiful than her. There are definitely some with 90 points in appearance. of.

Wherever she goes, she is the focus of the crowd and a beauty in the eyes of men.

It's not that he is discriminating against girls. Such girls are very easy to attract bees and butterflies, especially the little bees and butterflies in the United States, which are notoriously 'arrogant'.

According to reports, Amy herself was also indiscreet.

She is a cheerleader and loves to dance. Duncan is usually busy training and competing and has no time to dance with her.

She had money, plenty of time, and liked to dance. When Duncan went out to play away games, she became addicted to going to nightclubs, dancing, and dancing with those sexy pole dancers.

After going back and forth, sparks were sparked.

Men and women dance together and collide with each other. The woman is beautiful and the man is handsome and has a good figure. Once or twice, they may be able to stop it. Seven or eight times, who can stop it?

Chen Xiao and Miss Sun, the two of them had only been filming for a month without violent physical contact, and they were fine.

As someone who has been through this, Bobo is very clear about the things that happen to young men and women.

"I estimate that after Tim enters the NBA, Amy will..."

Popovich looked at the time in the newspaper only from two years ago, but Pop definitely didn't believe it.

It's just that the media can only find out for so long.

Perhaps, this pole dancer is not the first one Amy has cheated on, but only in the past two years.

When he thought that Tim might become green as soon as he entered the league, Popovich looked sympathetic.

Fortunately, Duncan and Amy don't have children yet, otherwise they might be even more unfortunate.

but……

"It's been a tough year for Tim."

Duncan's father passed away last year. This year it was revealed that his wife had cheated on him. His mother had passed away in 1990.

For Duncan, Amy was originally his only support, which is why Amy has such a great influence on Duncan.

His parents are dead, he has no children, and he only has one wife. If his wife doesn't agree, he can't leave.

Unexpectedly, his wife, who was the spiritual support of his family, would do such a thing behind his back.

After something like this happened, Popovich knew that he and the Spurs were really going to lose Duncan this time.

Tim, there is no way I can stay in this sad place any longer.

It is impossible for him to force him to stay.

He has no parents here, will have no wife, and has no children to take care of. It can be said that he can leave whenever he wants. He does not need to make any preparations. He can just pack his luggage and leave.

In fact, Duncan did exactly that.

Just leave the divorce matter to the lawyers. While the whole country was boiling over his marriage, Duncan had already come to Florida and Orlando.

In Orlando, when Duncan walked out of the airport carrying a backpack, he was warmly welcomed by Orlando Magic fans, and at the same time, the entire Magic team was out in force.

The team owner, team general manager, head coach, as well as the Magic’s star player TMC, the team’s star small forward Mike Miller, and even Gooden, the star of hope previously traded from the Bulls, and Ron Ron from the Spurs In exchange for Howard, Ginobili and Parker, who arrived in Orlando earlier, also came.

See the ardent expectation in the eyes of this group of people.

Duncan, who had been a little tired recently, also had a smile on his face. He walked up to Ginobili, who had long flowing hair, and stretched out his hand to gently stroke the familiar hair and the familiar back of the head.

Perhaps, the only thing that can destroy the world is this delicate hair and touch.

No, there's basketball.

Right now, all I really have left is basketball.

"Tim, my big man, is finally here!"

Duncan came back from his thoughts and saw the excited Maddie, with the still slightly tired smile on his face a little shy.

"I am coming."

Without any unnecessary words, Duncan used the simplest, calmest and shortest language to say the words that made everyone in the audience feel most at ease.

On July 1, 2003, the NBA free market opened. Undoubtedly, the biggest news was that Spurs superstar Tim Duncan announced that he had signed a contract with the Magic.

"I'm already looking ahead to the next season in Orlando, where great things are going to happen, and believe me, great things are going to happen!"

At the signing ceremony between the Magic and Tim Duncan, Tracy McGrady, the head coach of the Magic last season, said excitedly to the reporters in the audience.

McGrady once said that if you give him a big man, he can win the championship.

Now, the big man he was looking forward to finally came.

In Cleveland, seeing the huge crowds when Duncan signed with the Magic, Chen Xiao and James were both under a lot of pressure.

"The Magic will be very strong next season. The 'MD' combination will probably make the entire Eastern Conference tremble next season, and maybe not just next season."

The scene of McGrady and Duncan shaking hands really shocked the Eastern Conference teams.

McGrady is 24 years old and Duncan is 27 years old. Both are superstars in their prime. The combination of these two is definitely comparable to the 'OK' group that the American media thought was broken up by Chen Xiao.

So, when McGrady and Duncan shook hands, Barkley, the host on the TV, started to exclaim.

"Call Wonder Boy, call Wonder Boy, if Wonder Boy doesn't use his 'God's Eye' to break up the 'MD' combination like the 'OK' combination, the Eastern Conference, no, the league will not have any chance of success in the next eight years. day!"

"Wonder Boy, it's your time to save the Alliance!"

Barkley was quite excited when he said this. Diaw, Mo Williams and Korver, who signed a contract with the Cavaliers, all looked at Chen Xiao with the kind of respect that could no longer be respected.

Breaking up the 'OK' duo, the most dominant team in NBA history, is definitely one of the most glorious achievements.

There is no trophy for this kind of achievement, but it is much heavier than an MVP or FMVP trophy.

As the saying goes, a gold cup or a silver cup is not as good as the reputation of the masses. This is what it means.

Although the dispersion of the OK group was actually the reason for the conflict between the two, Chen Xiao's defeat of the two in the finals was also one of the reasons why the two could no longer cooperate. Therefore, there is no problem at all if Chen Xiao broke up OK. No.

With this incident and achievement, Chen Xiao will be nicknamed "the man who broke up OK" and "the man who ended an era in the NBA" wherever he goes in the future.

This is really very promising.

Now being shouted out like this by Barkley, Chen Xiao was transformed into "The boss is looking for Chen Xiao!" ’ feeling of a league saver.

To be honest, Barkley's roar did inexplicably give Chen Xiao a tall persona and aura.

James is very envious of this aura.

The halo of the brave who defeated the devil!

This halo and persona are what he has always wanted.

"Barkley's expectations are a bit high, but this seems to be a good look. Regardless of whether he is OK or MD, since he is in front of us, just kill them all!"

Hearing what Chen Xiao said, James, the Cavaliers players next to him, Cavaliers head coach Carlisle and others were stunned for a moment.

Look at the expression on Chen Xiao's face again.

He is serious!

"He really wants to be the savior of the alliance!"

One demon king left, and a new demon king came to the alliance.

This is the current situation in the NBA.

After Duncan suddenly went to the Magic to sign with the Magic, honestly, the entire NBA was surprised.

I was still laughing at the Magic for sending Grant Hill away at a low price and sending Ron Howard half-sold and half-given to the Spurs.

Unexpectedly, the management of the Magic is really not an idiot, they have back-hands.

It turns out that everything is for Duncan!

Now, public opinion across the NBA has changed from criticizing the Magic's operations some time ago to unscrupulous praise.

I don't know if it's the formation of the MD combination in the Magic, which puts too much pressure on the entire league.

The Nets general manager Rod Thorn, who has been fighting with the Lakers' Kupchak, finally agreed to the Lakers' trading chips.

The Nets signed and then traded to send the team's leading player Jason Kidd, the team's starting power forward Boozer last season, and the team's backup center Battle to the Lakers, in exchange for the Lakers' leading inside player. O'Neal and starting point guard Fisher.

Why did the simple transaction of Boss Ji and Ao Pang's house swap dragged on until this time?

Because Boss Ji was angry at the time and was going to walk away naked.

Just jump out of the contract, give up the bird rights, and leave nothing to the Nets.

Later, after being educated by Mrs. Ji, Kidd was persuaded.

ps: As I said, historically, Kidd was ready to go to the Spurs under the lobbying of Popovich, Duncan and the entire Spurs team. Parker had already packed his luggage and was ready to leave, and then Kidd was beaten by Kidd. Education, in the end, the boss could only cry. Under the pressure of his wife, he signed a 6-year, 103 million maximum salary contract with the Nets with bird rights. The plot was almost exactly the same as when he left the Spurs. His wife saves the world. model.

If Boss Ji is not free to leave, then the value of Boss Ji will be greater.

If Kevin wants to go free, Martin, Boozer and O'Neal will not suffer any loss, but James wants the bird rights, and his wife must want the bird rights. So if the Lakers want James, they can't open their mouths.

Rod Thorn wants to trade one for one and add a role player with a matching contract, but Kupchak on the Lakers feels that Kidd himself has already said that he will not keep him. If you use Kidd as such a big bargaining chip, the Lakers will lose. Ah, give at least one Boozer, so that we can save face!

In the end, the two teams have been talking about this matter. If it wasn't for the combination of Duncan and McGrady to complete the formation, maybe the two would continue to talk about it.

The MD combination is completed. If this deal is not completed, all high-quality free agents will go to the Magic.

The transaction between the Lakers and the Nets was completed, and the OK combination that ruled the NBA for three years was officially disbanded.

The old OK combination was disbanded, but the new 'OC' combination of the Nets, Carter and O'Neal was formed.

Although O'Neal is a little older and not as young as the Magic's MD team, the Nets still have some members of last year's championship team.

Although Kidders was sent away in Chen Xiao's deal, Boozer was sent away in O'Neal's deal.

But Richard Jefferson and Martin are still there, and these two players are also All-Stars.

A combination of two All-Stars and two super giants...

Moreover, after the Nets announced that they had traded O'Neal, the two biggest fish in this year's free market, SuperSonics player Gary Payton, announced that they had signed a two-year mid-level contract with the Nets.

Joined the Nets as a free agent.

After Payton announced that he was joining the Nets, Karl Malone, who had disappeared from the locker room after the end of the season, finally appeared.

And he appeared directly in the Nets locker room and announced that he would join the Nets with a basic salary.

Seeing that the Nets attracted two NBA stars one after another after trading O'Neal, many people exclaimed that although O'Neal was defeated in the finals last year, O'Neal's appeal is really great.

Indeed, in this era, O'Neal is indeed still a golden sign.

Although the Lakers lost this year's finals, O'Neal's performance is still very good.

In the finals, he still shot 60% and averaged 33+15 per game. With this data, there is no doubt that in the minds of many people, he is still the number one center in the league and the most dominant player.

Such an inside player, plus Carter, the half-human, half-god super giant, and half of the Nets, the championship team.

The attraction was simply unbelievable.

Just say Payton.

Before O'Neal's deal was completed, Payton had been hesitating between the Magic and the Heat.

Either go to the Heat to be the leader, or go to the Magic to be the third child to compete for the championship.

Finally, after seeing the combination of O'Neal and Carter in the Nets, Payton decisively joined the Nets.

I have to say that O'Neal is so good at packaging himself. Even though Duncan performed so well in the Western Conference Finals this season, everyone is still more keen to believe that O'Neal is Duncan's nemesis.

Even players like Payton believe this statement.

With O'Neal, Carter, Martin, and Richard Jefferson, plus the Nets' championship team, what can the Magic do to compete with the Nets?

So Payton really joined the Nets directly without even thinking about it.

And Malone...

Malone never thought about joining the Magic and Duncan as teammates.

Duncan is a contender for the number one power forward in history.

How can I hug Duncan's thigh?

Therefore, Malone, who had been waiting for an opportunity, finally walked out of the secret passage in the Jazz locker room and walked to the Nets locker room after seeing the OC combination of O'Neal and Carter formed.

After seeing Malone announce that he would join the Nets with a minimum salary, the entire NBA went crazy.

O'Neal, Carter, Martin, Richard Jefferson, Malone, Payton...

Six All-Stars!

And it's not just the six aging All-Stars, these six are all All-Stars from the Eastern and Western Conferences last season!

"Oh my god, six All-Stars from last season teaming up?!"

"Are the Nets going to heaven? Is Nets general manager Rod Thorn a god?!"

"What the hell is wrong with this world?!"

For a time, the whole world was stunned by the Nets' six-star lineup.

Even the Nets fans who demonstrated because Chen Xiao and Kidd left were frightened.

Originally, the banner they put up was that Ron Soder was stupid and returned Kidd and Chen Xiao.

But now...

Seeing the Nets' star-studded six-star combination, who would dare to say that Nets general manager Rod Thorn is crazy?

"F6!"

In New York, the headquarters of the NBA, David Stern was shocked at this time.

The six All-Stars last season!

No team in NBA history has ever had such a strong lineup.

"Now, the NBA still belongs to Shaquille O'Neal!"

Watching O'Neal on TV at the signing ceremony to welcome Malone, O'Neal said these words in an incredibly excited voice, David Stern's face was constantly changing at this time.

At the signing ceremony of Malone in New Jersey, O'Neal and the others certainly didn't know that the look on the face of league president David Stern was ugly at this time.

At this time, Malone's signing ceremony was filled with joy.

Let me tell you, the departure of Kidd and Chen Xiao made more than half of the old fans in New Jersey very dissatisfied.

But with the formation of F6, a small number of Nets fans and all new Nets fans are very excited and excited.

Where do these new Nets fans come from?

Of course from New York!

Six All-Stars!

If you can be a fan of such a team, why not?

Especially O'Neal, Malone, Payton, and Carter. The popularity of these four people in New York is comparable to Kidd, no, better than Kidd.

With the arrival of four people, the Nets attracted a large number of New York fans.

These new Nets fans have no feelings for Chen Xiao and Kidd, and everyone is chanting F6 is invincible.

For a time, the entire Malone signing ceremony became a stage for carnival among new Nets fans and a small number of old fans.

As for those old fans who support Chen Xiao and Kidd, of course they will not come at this time.

Because the old Nets fans who supported Chen Xiao and Kidd did not come, only the fans who supported Rod Thorn and F6 came, so the whole scene looked extraordinarily colorful and full of flowers.

It seems that Boss Ji's departure and Chen Xiao's departure are simply trivial matters.

This made Chen Xiao, who was watching this scene in front of the TV, feel a little strange and shook his hands slightly.

Because, the moment Malone signed his name, the whole audience shouted ‘MVP! ’

In the past, the cheers from the Nets belonged to him and Boss Ji...

But now...

Chen Ling felt as if something had been robbed of him.

In fact, Boss Ji in front of the TV had the same idea at this time.

Even Boss Ji's mood became even stronger.

After all, the Nets truly once belonged to him.

"Jason, let's kill them together next season!"

Kobe said through gritted teeth.

To be fair, Kobe was also stimulated.

After the separation, the ex-girlfriend lived so well, Chen Xiao and Kidd both felt this way, how could Kobe not?

O'Neal is also his predecessor.

O'Neill's side is so beautiful, but his side is almost empty.

Not only has no big name been signed, but the team's head coach Phil Jackson announced his departure from the Lakers.

The day after Phil Jackson announced his departure from the Lakers, Nets general manager Rod Thorn announced that he and former Lakers head coach Phil Jackson would become the team's new head coach.

At the same time, the meritorious head coach of the Nets, Byron Scott, who had just left the Nets, the former Lakers star announced that he would become the head coach of the Lakers.

At the same time, the Nets assistant coach Eddie Jordan was announced by the Wizards as the team's head coach.

After this sudden series of operations, the whole world feels crazy!

Duncan, McGrady, Chen Xiao, James, Wade, Yao Ming, Popovich, everyone is stupid!

At the signing ceremony of Phil Jackson, Barkley, who was the TNT live host, lost his face.

"Phil, what do you think of my figure, can I come to your team to wave towels and guard the drinking fountains?!"

"Charles, you're too fat."

After being rejected by Phil Jackson with a smile, Barkley immediately exclaimed 'painfully'.

"Nine crown coaches, six All-Stars, the strongest NBA team in history was born!"

"Wonderful boy, magical boy, did you hear that, now, the moment for you to save the alliance has really come!"

"Now, we need your magic and your salvation!"

In front of the TV, after receiving the invitation from Kobe and James, he took James to the lobby of the Chenxiao Hotel in Eagle County. Barkley's crazy performance on the TV put a smile on his face.

"OK, this time, I got it."
