I’m Really Playing Basketball

After the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and the Spurs, Chen Xiao left Golden State and went to Miami.

Because Yao Ming will retire after playing in the NBA this year, the Heat prepared a very grand retirement ceremony for Yao Ming.

Although the Heat's record could not be a perfect farewell for Yao Ming this year in Yao Ming's retirement year, at the ceremony, except for Britney Anthony, the other Heat players were still very enthusiastic.

After all, Yao Ming is one of the greatest players in the history of the entire league and a legendary player who led the Heat to complete a four-year Triple Crown dynasty.

When a player of this level retires, to be honest, no matter what, it is impossible for sadness to dominate.

At the very least, Yao Ming is really not a relatively tragic player like Malone.

Therefore, at this gathering, it can be said that celebrities from China and the United States gathered together.

Yao Ming's career in the NBA lasted for 12 years. In 12 years, he played a total of 936 regular season games and averaged 21.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.2 blocks per game.

The total career regular season statistics are 20,124 points, 10,015 rebounds, 3,276 assists, and 2,059 blocks.

From the perspective of the entire NBA's historical span, such total data is not very prominent compared to Yao Ming's historical status.

There is no way that Yao Ming only played 12 seasons.

But if you look at the honors he received in the regular season, including a regular season MVP, 10 times as a first-team center in the league, 10 times in the All-Defensive Team, and once as the Best Defensive Player, this honor is quite hard-core.

In the entire history of the league, Yao Ming is the second center to win 10 first-team selections and 10 All-Defensive Team selections in the regular season. The first was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 11 first-team selections and 11 All-Defensive Team selections.

Of course, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar doesn’t have an All-Defensive team.

At the same time, what makes Yao Ming better than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is that Yao Ming led the team to 70+ victories twice in the regular season.

Therefore, despite Yao Ming's short career, he is truly the number one center in the NBA for 10 consecutive years.

In the history of the NBA, dominating a position for 10 consecutive years is worthy of special mention.

In addition, Yao Ming's performance in the playoffs was equally outstanding. In his 12-year career, he won 3 championships and 2 FMVPs in the playoffs. He participated in a total of 174 playoff games in his career, averaging 100 points per game in the playoffs. He contributed 25 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.5 blocks. His total career playoff points reached 4,350 points. This score is not bad for a super giant who has only played for 12 years in his career.

It can be said that as a superstar whose average data per game in the playoffs is higher than that in the regular season.

In his career, Yao Ming has never been said to be a star in the regular season or a softie in the playoffs.

It can be said that his playoff career is as perfect as his regular season career.

Finally, on June 1, 2014, Yao Ming took 3 Olympic Games champions, 2 World Championship champions, 2 Diamond Cup champions, 3 NBA championships, a total of 10 world championships in his career, starting from basketball. The athlete stepped back from his position.

On this day, FIBA’s president, secretary-general, NBA president David Stern, and even many current and former American leaders came to the scene to pay tribute to the second greatest star in FIBA ​​history and NBA history. Farewell to the top fifteen great players.

In the end, this grand event ended with laughter and thanks from Yao Ming.

By the way, this time Yao Ming specially thanked Chen Xiao and Wade.

He also said that without Chen Xiao and Wade, he would not have achieved what he has now.

Of course, the same is true for Chen Xiao and Wade.

Without Yao Ming, Chen Xiao would not have won so many championships with the Chinese team.

His status in the basketball world would never have been as great as it is now.

Similarly, for Wade, without Yao Ming, he would not have been able to achieve such achievements in the NBA and the Heat.

Therefore, Yao Ming's departure is actually a very serious blow to Wade.

Wade was actually very sad that he was not able to give Yao Ming a perfect send-off in this year's playoffs.

What makes Wade even more sad is that as soon as Yao Ming was about to retire, Heat general manager Pat Riley took action against Wade.

Wade's last 3+1 contract can be terminated after this season.

Yao Ming chose to opt out of his contract and retire.

And Wade will definitely choose to get out of his contract to get a real maximum salary.

For the sake of the team, both Yao Ming and Wade were able to sign a five-year, 200 million contract. They both gave up their maximum salary and signed a 3+1 contract.

This is undoubtedly the sacrifice of both people.

Now, Yao Ming has left, and Wade is about to enter his last contract.

In this case, Wade, as the greatest star in history, of course hopes to have a contract with a real maximum salary.

This is actually not too much, and it's not even a matter of money. Is Wade short of money?

Wade is not short of money at all. He is also one of the major shareholders of Facebook. After Facebook went public, Wade was worth tens of billions.

However, Pat Riley just doesn't want to give Wade such an honor.

Because for Wade, 260 million in five years is an honor.

But for the Heat, in the next five years, they will just keep Wade, and the team will not be competitive.

How could Pat Riley put up with such a huge garbage contract for Wade's final years?

Wade is now 32 and a half years old. With his style of play and his usual lack of attention to maintenance and his liking for Harbin Beer's character, he is probably dead after he reaches the age of 35.

If we really want to give Wade such a contract, Wade's final year's contract will reach an astonishing $60 million.

How could Pat Riley endure this.

It's certainly good for Wade to stay.

But if Wade really wants such a contract, Pat Riley is willing to let Wade go to a team that can provide him with such a contract.

After all, a 32-and-a-half-year-old veteran is indeed a waste for a utilitarian person like Pat Riley, and the Heat can indeed rebuild after losing Yao Ming.

Wade certainly doesn't want to leave the Heat.

But Wade felt very chilled by Pat Riley's attitude towards him.

For Wade, if there is no other way, the team he would actually prefer to go to is the Chicago Bulls.

This is his hometown team.

Therefore, after Yao Ming announced his retirement after the Eastern Conference Finals, there have been rumors that the Chicago Bulls will discuss a deal with the Heat.

The Heat renewed Wade's contract for 5 years and 260 million, and then signed and traded, and Wade was replaced by Deron.

This rumor spread like no other.

But as an insider, and an insider within the inner circle, Chen Xiao knew that this rumor was true.

After Yao Ming left the Heat, Wade was about to return to Chicago.

At the same time, the Heat's other leading player, Anthony's contract has expired this year, and he will definitely not continue to stay in the Heat.

Anthony is likely to go to his hometown of New York to form a new Big Three with Westbrook and Howard to compete for the championship.

At this point, the legendary Heat, which has been prominent in the NBA for nearly ten years and has won the Eastern Conference championship four times in the last ten years and reached the finals, has come to a complete end.

An era for the Heat is over.

Although the era of the Heat is over, the era of the Golden Eagles of the Marquette Golden Eagles is not.

Because in this year's finals, the Bucks faced the Spurs, and the Spurs won. Ron Howard continued the dominance of the Golden Eagle era. He is a member of the Golden Eagle generation.

And if the Bucks win the championship, Durant and Curry will continue the Golden Eagles era, because they are the second generation of Golden Eagles.

Very desperate.

For the entire NBA, this situation is really desperate.

Because it was difficult to survive the first generation of the Three Golden Eagles, the second generation of the Three Golden Eagles stepped into the era.

Therefore, how many years, five years, or ten years can the Golden Eagles dynasty continue in the NBA in the future?

In short, with the emergence of such a situation in the NBA, this makes Marquette University's position in the NCAA become more and more special.

There is really no way around this. In the entire history of the NCAA, no university is as prominent as Marquette University.

If you want to say that the top team in the NCAA is definitely UCLA, even if it is not UCLA, there will be other teams, and it will definitely not be Marquette's turn.

However, if you want to say that the NCAA has the greatest impact on the NBA team, it must be Marquette University.

Especially this year's NBA Finals, it was simply a carnival at Marquette University.

Bradley Arena, the home of the Bucks, is the home of Marquette University.

How do you think Milwaukee fans will feel about this Marquette University Civil War finals?

Although I definitely support the Bucks more, it seems acceptable for the Spurs to win the championship.

Because if the Spurs really win the championship and Ron Howard successfully wins the FMVP, then Ron Howard may also have a chance to squeeze into the top ten in history.

This is absolutely no joke.

This year the Spurs won the championship, and Luo Ge has a high probability of being FMVP.

This season's MVP, FMVP, best defensive player, first team and one defense Grand Slam, plus last year's FMVP, and 9 first team, 10 first defense, and three best defensive players in his career.

A FMVP for two consecutive years, an MVP, a bunch of one-team defense, and three best defensive players. In history, this is almost an honor-enhanced version of Durant.

If he wins another FMVP next year, Luo Ge will definitely be in the top ten.

To be honest, at this time, this is how the experts in the league are hyping it.

Everyone says that after Duncan and Chen Xiao, the next active player in the league's top ten in history will be Ron Howard.

Because Brother Luo seemed really, really close.

The Spurs are now showing their dynasty strength, and Ron Howard will rely on the Spurs to accumulate a lot of important honors.

Of course, these things are things for the future.

For Luo Ge and the Spurs, if they want to imagine such a future, they need to win the Bucks in the Finals.

In this finals, both Ray Allen and Popovich announced their retirement.

They all retire after this season.

Such a declaration will greatly boost the morale of both teams.

It's the equivalent of magic versus magic.

Now the two teams still need to rely on their players to determine the outcome of each other.

The two teams are similar in strength. In terms of playing style, the Spurs are more comprehensive, while the Bucks are more exciting.

Therefore, from the first game of the series, the two teams played extremely anxiously.

Chen Xiao watched the entire finals.

In the first four games, the two teams played 2-2, with the point difference in each game being within 3 points.

Can you imagine what this would be like?

Too anxious, too close.

But after four games of the game, Chen Xiao made such a judgment under Wade's very surprised gaze.

"In this finals, the Bucks may lose in the end."

"Durant played very well. Leonard couldn't guard him, but it cost him a lot. Durant needs a super firepower to stand up next to him, and this firepower needs to be stable. This candidate can only be Stephen, but although Stephen was not a master in the first four games, after the confrontation, the stability has also improved, but in away games, Stephen still has problems."

After Chen Xiao said that, Wade knew why Chen Xiao said that.

"Although the strength of the two teams is exactly the same, the Spurs are the team with home field advantage!"

"Game 7 is the Spurs' home court!"

Yes, Game 7 is the home court of the league's No. 1 Spurs. This series is likely to be 3-3. There is such a lot of pressure, and he is not good at dealing with large-scale fouls on the road. This is his first finals. , Curry's performance in G7 of this finals will determine the outcome of the Bucks.

So, will the Bucks' victory be reliable?

Of course it's unreliable.

If it's an average team, maybe they can't seize the opportunity.

However, this team is the Spurs!

The most stable team in the league!

They won't miss any opportunity.

Just as Chen Xiao predicted, the Spurs and Bucks ended up playing 3-3 in the first six games.

In the most critical Game 7, Curry, who had been given high hopes by the Bucks, finally failed in such a stressful but extremely important game. Not only did he feel cold, but his old habit of passing the ball carelessly was also eliminated. The Spurs caught him.

In the end, the Bucks lost to the Spurs 96-100 despite working extremely hard.

In the end, the Spurs once again won the NBA championship trophy with a big score of 4 to 3.

This is the Spurs' second championship in two seasons.

At the same time, Ron Howard, who is very experienced in playing behind Curry in this finals, won the final FMVP with averages of 23.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game.

Out of 10 votes, Ron Howard received 4 votes, Duncan received 3 votes, and Durant also received 3 votes.

As the loser, he was able to get 3 votes in a losing situation and almost became the second loser FMVP. One can imagine Durant's performance in this finals.

He averaged 35 points, 10 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, with a true shooting percentage of 70%. This was his first Finals appearance.

After the finals, even Bobo was convinced.

As the head coach of Team USA, I can’t wait to coach Kevin!

This year is the year of the World Championships, and Bobo is licking for a superstar to join him.

After all, it would be a shame to not win the first international competition beautifully.

Both Chen Xiao and Yao Ming have retired from FIBA. The US team has lost to the Chinese team for 10 consecutive years and it is time to win this year.

The finals are over, and the legend of a generation, Ray Allen, announces his retirement with regret.

Another legend ends!

But soon, Ray Allen was announced as the new head coach of the Bucks, and former Bucks head coach Terry Porter announced his resignation.

Meanwhile, on the Spurs' side, Pop reneged on his promise.

Moreover, Bobo broke his promise very frankly.

"Next season, the Spurs will win three consecutive championships, and there is no way I will leave!"

This makes Bucks fans furious.

That's so deceitful. If you hadn't been so cunning, we would have won the finals this year!

Well, just for fun.
