Chapter 469: Fulfill the promise

"We have Lee, Reggie, and Coach Bird."
　　
　　 Li Nan didn't know what this was for, but Reggie Miller and Larry Bird did.
　　
　　 The host handed the microphone to Larry Bird.
　　
　　 Larry Bird picked up the microphone and spoke.
　　
　　 "Everyone, I said in February, ‘If I don’t win this season, I will leave!’ I fulfilled my promise and brought you this championship."
　　
　　 Larry Bird stopped, there should be applause here.
　　
　　 rush rush~~
　　
　　 Applause and cheers also sounded at the right time.
　　
　　 Larry Bird lifted his chin in satisfaction and continued:
　　
　　 "Not long ago, I said another sentence. Today, I will honor my promise here."
　　
　　 fulfill the promise? What promise?
　　
　　 Many people have no impression.
　　
　　 Li Nan just remembered something at this time, and looked at Larry Bird and Reggie Miller with some surprise.
　　
　　 The two of them both smiled openly.
　　
　　 The scene was bustling with hustle and bustle, and many audience members also discussed it. What is it?
　　
　　 When the scene was lively, Larry Bird finally spoke.
　　
　　 "My original words at the time were, "Trust me, we will retire Lee's No. 10 jersey! Definitely!"
　　
　　 Wow~~
　　
"Wow!"
　　
　　 For an instant, the Pacers fans on the scene exclaimed.
　　
　　 "Retired Lee's jersey!?"
　　
　　 At the time, the audience and fans just thought about it, and didn't think the Pacers would do it. Unexpectedly, the Pacers management and Larry Bird did this!
　　
　　 The groom-Albert in the commentary was astonished, but there was a faint smile on his face, a smile with You Rongyan.
　　
　　 Wang Dazhi and the others were stunned, the expressions in their eyes changed.
　　
　　 "This is too awesome, right?"
　　
　　On the field, Larry Bird finally gave the microphone into Li Nan's hands.
　　
　　What can Li Nan say at this time?
　　
　　 Retired jersey, this is not an ordinary honor!
　　
　　 Li Nan can only say thanks.
　　
　　"Thanks, thanks to the boss of the Pacers, thanks to everyone in the management, thanks to every staff...
　　
　　 rush rush~~~
　　
　　 "Li! Li! Li!"
　　
　　 Under the witness of the whole audience and fans watching the live broadcast from all over the world, a curtain was pulled open and the No. 10 jersey appeared over the Bankers Center Arena.
　　
　　 The old predecessors of the walkers on its side.
　　
　　 No. 30 George McGuinness, No. 34 Mile Daniels, No. 35 Roger Brown, and No. 529 Coach Bob Leonard.
　　
　　...
　　
　　 In order to thank the Pacers, Li Nan did his best in the second half, rushing wildly, defending wildly, and increasing shots wildly.
　　
　　 When the game is over, the Pacers players and Pacers fans are not happy.
　　
　　120-102
　　
　　 18 points!
　　
　　 The defending champion who just won the championship ring lost 18 points!
　　
　　 Moreover, they lost to the former player of their team, and lost to the former player who had just been retired by the team.
　　
　　 "Are we really the defending champions? No! Without Li, we are nothing!"
　　
　　 "Can our combat power really be the best in the league?"
　　
　　 "This season we are back to the past."
　　
　　 "Looking at Li so good, I regret letting Li go!"
　　
　　 "If we can, we should keep him!"
　　
　　 "Oh, it's useless to say anything!"
　　
　　 happily came to see the Pacers to receive the championship ring, and was also honored to see Li Nan's jersey retirement ceremony, but everyone did not expect that the game ended like this at the end.
　　
　　 Disappointed. It's uncomfortable.
　　
　　 The game data:
　　
　　 Nuggets:
　　
　　 Li Nan, 18 of 26, 45 points, including 30 points in the second half; 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks
　　
　　 Hamilton, 35 points, 16 of 22,
　　
　　 Wang Dazhi, 10 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks
　　
　　 Walker:
　　
　　 Reggie Miller, 12 of 22, 28 points
　　
　　 Jermaine O’Neal, 10 of 16, 23 points
　　
　　 Jaylen Rose, 8 of 18, 19 points,
　　
　　...
　　
　　" With 45 points, Lee scored 30 points in the second half. He completely showed his strength as an FMVP, and he completely dominated the game.
　　
　　 However, I have to say a few words here.
　　
　　 The Nuggets are indeed the Pacers who won the defending championship today, but they themselves have exposed many problems. There is nothing wrong with the doubts of many media people before the game. The Nuggets really need time to get in.
　　
　　 Of course, the strength that Li showed on the field today and the ability to lead the team can be discovered by everyone.
　　
　　 Just give Lee, give the Nuggets enough time, I believe they will get better.
　　
　　Okay, today’s game will end here for everyone. I’m Groom Albert. See you next time. "
　　
　　 Groom-Albert waved to the camera, and the live broadcast ended.
　　
　　 "Hey, old groom, you are not kind, and me!" Matt Gokas on the side just remembered that he was abandoned. Hurrying to the camera, he also said with a smile: "I am Matt Gokas, audience friends, goodbye."
　　
　　 Bill Walton nudged Matt Gokas, pointed to the front, and said with a grievance: "The camera teacher has turned off the machine."
　　
　　 Matt Gokas stood up, "Old horseman, you are too much!"
　　
　　 Two grudged old men surrounded the old horseman and extended an evil hand to the old horseman.
　　
　　 The old groom looked innocent, "Hey, hey, what are you doing, what are you doing?"
　　
　　 "Hey hey, what do you say we are doing?" Matt Gokas and Bill Walton started with a smirk.
　　
　　 "Ah~hahaha~~~Don't tickle me~~"
　　
　　 Under the two offensives, Groom-Albert begged for mercy while beckoning to the other machine while still having time.
　　
　　 The audience in front of the TV can't laugh anymore.
　　
　　 "The old horseman is really good at acting! I can make the second part of Uncle Drew!"
　　
　　 "The old horseman can really play!"
　　
　　 "If those two old men watched the video, would they be mad? Hahaha~~"
　　
　　...
　　
　　 The opening game of the Nuggets' victory over the defending champion Pacers also made the outside world look at the strength of the Nuggets even more.
　　
　　 "The Denver Nuggets should be the No. 1 player."
　　
　　 "This is FMVP's leadership strength! Li proved that he can still lead a single core team!"
　　
　　 "The new generation of CIC King, Richard Hamilton!"
　　
　　Of course, many media believe that the Nuggets have many problems.
　　
　　 "The Nuggets completely copied other people's patterns~EbookFREE.me~ without any characteristics of their own. They can't go far like this."
　　
　　 "The Nuggets players are still too young, and their stability is a big problem."
　　
　　 "The team's defensive and offensive tacit understanding is quite different. How long will it take for the Nuggets to complete the break-in?"
　　
　　......
　　
　　 In an office on the 15th floor of the Olympic Building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York.
　　
　　President David Stern began to test his assistants again.
　　
　　 "Duck balls, which team do you think this year's championship will be?"
　　
　　 Yadan analyzed confidently: "President, I think it's the Nuggets. They have Li, Ben, Patrick, Wang, and Richard. They are really strong."
　　
　　 Yadan is thinking clearly, anyway, just support China Li.
　　
"No, no, no! This is just an illusion!" David Stern shook his head, "Richard is still too young! The Nuggets are only strong at Lee! Ewing is old! Ben can only defend. Wang's defense is average and offense is average! The others are three or two kittens. The Nuggets have a long way to go!
　　
　　 Yadan said again: "President, the Lakers must have won this year, right?"
　　
　　 "hen~" David Stern smiled, noncommittal.
