The opening three-pointer in basketball

On Christmas Day, there are two games in total, except the Timberwolves versus the Thunder, and then the Lakers versus the Heat.

In previous years, the Christmas game was Lakers vs. Celtics, but later it became Lakers vs. Heat.

This game completely exposed the decline of the Lakers. As Gasol gets older, Kobe Bryant and Ci Shiping are not as strong as they were when they were young. The Lakers no longer have the pressure and impact they had before.

Now this Lakers team is slow and their offense has no tactics.

Except for Kobe who can grit his teeth and fight hard, the others no longer have real scoring ability.

Facing the young, strong, fast-paced Heat, the Lakers had no chance.

The fans originally thought this would be a wonderful battle, but they did not expect that it would be a one-sided game.

After the game, Kenny Smith analyzed on the show: "Although Kobe can still score points, he is actually old. He can no longer lead the Lakers to compete with the top teams. The Lakers are starting to compete with the top teams in the 21st century.

In the past ten years, a dynasty has been built."

"The decline is now inevitable."

"They need to make a lot of adjustments. I predict it will take at least five years, even seven or eight years, for them to reestablish a new leader and find a player like young Kobe before they can become a championship team again."

"The Western Conference will enter the post-Lakers era, and the Thunder and Spurs will be the most favorable contenders for the Western Conference championship this season."

Kenny Smith's words attracted a lot of media discussion.

Although the Thunder just lost to the Timberwolves, the Thunder have also been recognized by many people.

Many Thunder fans are very happy.

I believe that the Spurs' GDP combination is also getting older, and the West will definitely be dominated by the Thunder in the future.

What Lakers fans are thinking about is how to find a new Kobe-like player.

"I think Bai is very good. There are many Chinese people in Los Angeles. I believe he will like it here."

"I also think Bai is a player we can trust. He deserves our love. He can come to the Lakers."

"I think no player will reject the Lakers. We are the best basketball club in the world, and we are the strongest team in the world."

Lakers fans are so imaginative that they abandoned James and Durant. Instead, they feel that Bai Yi is the best and most suitable player for the Lakers.

There are a lot of comments like this on Twitter and Facebook.

Some Lakers fan uploaders are still uploading videos on YouTube, carefully analyzing what level of player Bai Yi will become if he goes to the Lakers.

These videos have been recognized by many fans.

Even fans in mainland China agree very much with this.

Kobe's influence in China is really great.

Even cctv5 has a group of Kobe fans.

Naturally, Timberwolves fans stopped responding to such remarks. They thought it was too disgusting. Bai Yi was not for sale to the Timberwolves, and it was absolutely impossible for the Timberwolves to trade Bai Yi.

As a result, Timberwolves fans and Lakers began to quarrel with each other on beautiful forums.

This incident had a great impact, and the Timberwolves club came forward to express their position, saying that Baiyi was not for sale and could never be traded.

Adelman also said that the Timberwolves are now building a team around Bai Yi. They have ambitious goals and will never give up halfway.

…

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the temporary mission and leading the Timberwolves to defeat the Thunder. Ten achievement points will be awarded."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the temporary mission. During the game, the number of explosive dunks exceeded that of Westbrook. Ten achievement points will be awarded."

After twenty achievement points, Bai Yi's achievement points reached eighty-one.

He nodded with satisfaction and then planned to go to the hotel gym.

Today is Christmas, and logically, the players should go back to Minnesota.

However, Ohio is a small city, and there are only two flights to Minnesota every day, which have already taken off.

And the Timberwolves owner doesn't have a private jet like the Clippers owner.

Bai Yi and the others could only stay and sleep for one night before returning to Minnesota tomorrow.

After Christmas, there will be a two-day short holiday, and the league will have a two-day truce.

Bai Yi didn't have any plans, he was just training to sleep.

"Ring ring ring!"

The cell phone rings.

Bai Yi picked up the phone and found that it was an unfamiliar number.

He thought about it and clicked it.

"Hi Bai, I'm Kobe."

A rich male voice came from the receiver.

It turned out to be Kobe.

Bai Yi was confused. He was not sure what Kobe wanted to do when he called him, but he felt quite relaxed. After all, he was a superstar. Although he had some shortcomings, no one was perfect. In terms of experience, Bai Yi still appreciated it.

the other party’s.

"Hi Kobe, hello."

"Bai, if you are interested, come to the Lakers."

Kobe then said that he did not explain too much, and he believed that Bai Yi understood what he meant.

The Lakers are located in Los Angeles, which has sunshine, beaches, beauties, Hollywood, and the Greater Bay Area, a world-famous technology research and development center.

Many Chinese immigrated to Los Angeles.

It is conservatively estimated that there are 300,000 Chinese here.

In some communities, it feels like home.

What's more important is that the Lakers are the focus of the media and the core of the media. Anyone who is a Laker player will get a lot of exposure.

The commercial value immediately doubled several times.

Bai Yi's endorsements have reached the top of the league, with an endorsement fee of 30 million US dollars, which is completely top-tier in Hollywood.

But if he goes to the Lakers, and with the bonus from the Chinese market, he might be able to get $40 million or $50 million.

With a few more endorsements, it's not impossible for Bai Yi to make three to five billion dollars a year.

Just like in the football world, many players have the dream of being the emperor or the emperor.

There is also a Lake Dream in the basketball world. I don’t know how many young people in the beautiful country dream of playing for the Lakers.

But Bai Yi is not such a person.

Although he also loves money, he also wants to make more money.

But he wants a pure playing environment even more.

The Lakers are great everywhere, but this place is too prosperous and attracts too much attention.

This is not a good thing. Playing with the Lakers is more like a performance.

Not to mention that there are many famous people and there are many factions at the top of the Lakers club, and there are also palace scheming when playing a game.

Bai Yi doesn't have that much thought to play the Legend of Zhen Huan with others.

He thought for a while, then refused: "I don't want to go to the Lakers."

Kobe on the other side of the phone paused, "Why?"

"The Lakers attract too much attention. I prefer pure basketball."

"Okay, I understand."

Kobe then hung up the phone.

Bai Yi smiled and put down his phone.

To be honest, with his strength and the bonus from Lakers fans, he can start the All-Star game every year for the Lakers. His jersey share may make him tens of millions a year.

Maybe it will be easier to win a championship, enter the Hall of Fame, and gain support from beautiful national media.

But as the saying goes, money can’t buy my happiness.

When playing ball, having fun is the most important thing.

Bai Yi likes the Timberwolves. He is the core player here and can play however he wants.
