https://October 13, 2020, Sun Ce retired, and Kobe retired tonight. After James got his second championship ring in his career, he felt a little lonely...
The second time he won the championship, he didn't win the finals vp, but James also felt that it was nothing. He who is about to turn 36, does he need a bicycle?
It's just that Kobe, the strongest opponent in the early period of his career, and Sun Ce, the strongest opponent in the peak period, have left the NBA. James feels that he is not too rushing.
The other opponents in the league now, for James, are really...very average. He is almost 36 years old. After Sun Ce retired, he was still known by many as the strongest player after Sun Ce retired.
His goal is to beat Sun Ce in the playoffs himself, but he doesn't know if there is any chance.
Sun Ce may choose to come back, but James does not know if he can wait until then, God knows when Sun Ce will choose to continue.
However, James thinks about himself, if he can achieve Sun Ce's achievements by playing for 10 years in the NBA, perhaps he will also want to retire and rest. Sun Ce has reached the point where he has a rare opponent, but he wants a defeat.
Perhaps he will also choose to wait until he is not so strong before returning to the basketball court, at least to give his opponent some opportunities to challenge him.
Substituting himself into the thoughts of Sun Ce he guessed, James was in a daze, watching Leonard pick up the finals vp trophy, James came back to his senses.
It's not over yet. He hasn't reached the time of sadness and injury. At the end of his career, it is most important to win two more championships. An existence like Sun Ce is completely different from others. James renewed his attention. Focus on the moment!
Winning the championship means that the new season has begun! How long will the new season start? I don’t know. The 2019-2020 season has just ended for one and a half years, and there must be at least two months of rest, otherwise the players will not be able to bear it physically.
And this time, similar to the offseason, James has to go to the free market to hook up those young players.
His fan finally became a completely free agent this year!
It just so happened that many of their contracts expired this year. Although some free agents were let go like this, it's a pity that they can get the 27-year-old superstar to join. Are you afraid that no role players will come to hug your thighs? In the playoffs, superstars are king!
...
On November 7, 2020, with James’ hookup, Anthony Davis was signed to the agency of James’ friend Rich Paul. After meeting with the Lakers, Anthony Davis paid $14.2 billion for 4 years. 7-year veteran with a maximum salary contract to join the Lakers!
The ultimate trio of James, Leonard, and Anthony Davis!
If it weren't for James to be older and Leonard and Anthony Davis to be crisp and not grass-tolerant, this trio would be even more amazing than the combination of Curry + Sunce + Durant two years ago! But the difference is that these three are very expensive. Unlike the time when the Clippers’ five starts, two of the top salary under the old salary cap, one rookie contract, and one salary cut, so the Lakers can’t be like that year. The Clippers' strength surpasses all other combinations in NBA history except for the Grizzlies five fat and ok combination.
However, the strength of this trio has surpassed the core combination of other teams in the league today!
After the Clippers' empty glove White Wolf signed Sun Ce and Durant that year, the Lakers did it too!
By the end of January 2021, the new NBA season began. After the Lakers had the Super Big Three, they also successfully attracted a large number of outstanding role players to join...Perhaps because of the strength of the three of them, they have driven those teammates. It seems that they are very good, after all, most of them are players with a basic salary or a contract of four or five million dollars.
In the 2020-2021 season, the Lakers played quite difficult in the regular season. In 50 games, there was not enough time to prepare and only two games in the preseason... The regular season Lakers scored a record of 33 wins and 17 losses, fourth in the West Identity enters the playoffs.
But in the playoffs, the Lakers immediately became like a team, 4 to 1, 4 to 1, 4 to 1...Three gentlemen swept in a row. The Lakers were 12 wins and 3 losses. The best record in the game reached the finals!
Jimmy Butler is also awesome. The free agents signed by the Celtics are basically non-first goals. They want Durant, but Hayward is the last one. They want Love. Or Sun Ce, who signed Horford, Horford went to get a big contract at the end of last year, the Celtics chose to chase Paul George, but they wanted Paul George, but Buddy Hill was signed. Germany... But even if they are all spare tires, their strength is weaker and the contract is obviously premium, and the inside line has become very weak, but Jimmy Butler still reached the tie-break with the Nets, which has been in its heyday for two years!
Don't be too tenacious!
However, Jimmy Butler has also reached the peak tail. In the end, he still failed to open in the playoffs as he did in the past three years. There is also a teammate who is obviously younger than him but aging faster than him. Porzingis was in the tie-break. The cut with Durant broke the Celtics!
James and Evans, these two rookie seasons averaging 20+5+5, two superstars with similar play characteristics finally met on the stage of the finals.
On August 11, 2021, after the sixth game of the Finals, James averaged 183 points, 105 rebounds and 127 assists, Anthony Davis averaged 284 points, 88 rebounds, and Leonard 244 points per game. Defeated the Nets 4-2 to complete two consecutive championships!
At the age of 36 and a half, James completed an achievement similar to the 38-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, defeating the two superstars in the team and winning the finals vp!
After James won the coveted two consecutive championships and won his second fvp in his career, a news that made him extremely excited...
Sun Ce will return next season! Return to the Clippers!
...
James reached a contract extension with the Lakers after two consecutive championships. He wants to play for three years with 60 million in three years. There are two reasons. One is that Sun Ce is back, and the other is that his eldest son Brownie James is 17 years old. Although James is not sure whether Brownie can enter the NBA, his son’s ability in high school is far from him, but it is still possible that he will be caught in the first round of 2023. Selected.
James hopes that Brownie can become a superstar, but if he can't, he can't do it. However, he has one goal, which is to match Brownie in the NBA. So, James chose to extend his contract until 2024.
James was very excited about Sun Ce's comeback. Look at his teammate after Sun Ce's comeback. Jokic, 26 years old, is gradually entering his peak period. This player is really good. After the rookie contract, he signed with the Clippers for 4 years and $1.2 billion. The contract, how could it not be great, averaging 188 points, 114 rebounds and 76 assists per game, the offense is so good! Although the defense is only a positional defensive player, that is, a general defensive player who is not easy to lose position but blocks and interferes with shooting, it is also sufficient, at least it will not slow down, and the tonnage is sufficient, and the frame is good.
But Curry is 33 years old, Klay Thompson is 31 years old, Klay Thompson is okay, but the defense is declining. Klay Thompson's defense is probably only top-notch level, but his shooting is still solid, Sun Ce retires Later Klay Thompson has been averaging more than 20 points per game.
Curry's decline is obvious. The main reason is that the offensive ability has weakened. The shooting is still accurate. With Jokic's offensive organization and Klay Thompson's restraint, he can score 24 and 45 points per game, but the Clippers are around this. The championship combination created by the trio is far from the top championship teams.
Sun Ce came back after a two season break and is 31 years old...
James looked at 28-year-old Anthony Davis and 30-year-old Leonard, he was extremely excited! Perhaps, the next season is his chance to beat Sun Ce in the playoffs!
...
Sun Ce's comeback directly activated the sluggish basketball market, and the effect was immediate. In the new season, the number of NBA BesTV bookings in advance for viewing services has almost doubled compared to the just-concluded 2020-2021 season!
There must also be something related to the improvement of the epidemic and the income of middle-class people. The relatively strict quarantine measures were initiated after the start of the new term of the U.S. President in December last year. Therefore, the epidemic can begin to improve. Sun Ce waited until the quarantine measures really took effect. And after waiting for a few months and hiring people to investigate in major cities in the United States, I chose to return to the NBA.
Although there are reasons for the normal recovery of the market, Sun Ce's choice to come back is definitely the key to activating the market!
Of course, in the past few years, Durant, a superstar with constant negative topics, must be an artifact that arouses fan topics. He has been hacked and he will be watched by wearing colored glasses.
Jimmy Butler is the biggest surprise. Since the start of the 2017 playoffs, Jimmy Butler has become a "playoff superstar". In the regular season, Jimmy Butler averaged 22 and three points per game, but in the playoffs Even in the finals, Jimmy Butler dared to soar 40+ triple-doubles, as if he inherited the talent of his legendary father who didn't even know his name.
No one thought that during the epidemic, the NBA's ratings were once supported by Jimmy Butler.
In the summer of 2021, due to Sun Ce's comeback, the NBA pattern has changed again. Seeing that the Clippers will become more and more mediocre. There are no offensive stars, no picks, and only relying on Jokic’s organization. Offensive, Curry and Klay Thompson’s perimeter containment, role players cut into the win, the strength is not bad, 33-year-old Curry renewed a lot of salary cuts, the Clippers can introduce some good role players , But the top is the second round of the Western Conference team.
At this time, Sun Ce returned and the Clippers became the favorite team to win the championship again!
Even if he retires for two years, even if Sun Ce hasn't played for two years and has been playing rap, even if Sun Ce is 31 years old and he returns, no one will question his strength!
tnt directly used such a headline as the headline news of Sun Ce's comeback-the real return of the first person!
In the past few years, the NBA has become more and more average. No one can become the undisputed number one in the league like Sun Ce back then, and indeed no particularly strong players have emerged. The average strength of the league has become stronger, but super Superstars are becoming more and more mediocre. Even James, who was 36 years old last season, is still regarded as a strong contender for the first man in the league.
After Sun Ce announced his comeback, the free market became extremely lively this summer.
Veterans, chose Bao Tuan...
After wandering around on several teams and being the boss several times, Owen finally realized that he was not the boss!
On September 11, 2021, Irving chose to join forces with Celtics star Jimmy Butler. After Hayward’s contract expires, the Celtics have a cap space and signed a 29-year-old. Owen, at his peak, and Jimmy Butler, who turned the tail, formed the backcourt combination of Kojo's successor!
Irving, Buddy Hild, Jimmy Butler, this super perimeter combination, the Celtics once again tried to hit the championship!
Owen’s dream is to defeat Sun Ce. He entered the NBA and retired from Sun Ce. He played against Sun Ce more than 40 times and never won once... This is also the reason that drove him to abandon his insistence on becoming the team boss and choose to join the Celtics. .
Irving has been very miserable these years. He has played for 10 years and only played two postseason games. His personal data has always been excellent. After Sun Ce retired, he was once the title of "League Singles King". Irving wanted too far.
He wants to be a vp and wants to win a championship.
But the cruel reality made Owen choose to accept his fate when he was almost 30 years old. At this time, Sun Ce was about to make a comeback. If Owen wanted to defeat Sun Ce when he was still in his prime, he could only become a younger brother.
Jimmy Butler was excited to see Sun Ce come back. He really wants to play against Sun Ce again. For him, playing against opponents like Sun Ce is his glory as a player!
In the past 4 years, he has reached the finals twice, which is the peak period of Jimmy Butler. Now that he is at the peak and tail, he is ready to hit the finals again! Compared to others, Jimmy Butler, who was a teammate with Sun Ce, knows how incredible Sun Ce is.
This man, he must come back to win the championship!
...
For the Grizzlies, Paul George has reached a contract extension with the Grizzlies. The impression Paul George gave to fans is that he is not the kind of player who is willing to stay in a small city for his entire career.
However, the Grizzlies players have changed several times. Point guards, shooting guards, power forwards, and centers have all changed a lot. Paul George has never left...
One person’s experience will make a lot of changes for this person. When he first entered the NBA, Paul George also thought about being traded to a big city one day... But in the 7 years of partnering with Sun Ce, Paul George not only Only the style of play and the style of play when he first entered the NBA has changed, and the psychological aspect has also changed greatly.
In this team, he won 5 championships in 6 years. In the dynasty stage, he was the core of the team's tactics. After Sun Ce left, Paul George was selected for three consecutive seasons in 18, 19, and 20. , Averaging 22+6+9+2 data is very good, his glory period, personal peak period, all in this team.
Watching Tony Allen, Randolph, and Yi Jianlian retired one after another, the three jerseys hung high above the FedEx Arena...
Paul George didn't leave until his third contract this year and he turned 31, and he chose to renew his contract for 4 years.
No one thought that the five talented players Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Gasol Jr., Gobert, and Paul George, who played for the Grizzlies in their rookie seasons, were the one who has held on to this day. It is actually Paul. George, the most unreliable and complex-minded guy.
But Paul George has persisted until now. His starting teammates have become 31-year-old Rubio, 35-year-old Horford, mini-middle-class Knoll, 31-year-old Robert Covington, old and old, with single ability. Single, no shots, no shots. After last season, Brogdon chose to join the Suns to succeed Paul and partner with Antetokounmpo to attack the championship. Now it’s really time for Paul George to carry the team forward. At that time, this summer, I thought he would choose to go to a strong team in a big city.
However, Paul George chose one person, one city!
...
Another player who has played for another team but is still regarded as one person, one city is James Harden.
The Warriors proved with their strength that it makes sense for them to be bad for decades before hiring Jerry West as a team consultant. Russell and Wiggins are so valuable in their hands. Players, they ended up wasting these two chips. They used their talents to exchange veterans who had passed their peak strength, and finally turned into a junk contract, which dragged down Harden. This teammate was Westbrook... The Warriors used Russell and a first-round exchange of Westbrook!
Then, he exchanged Wiggins for Towns... As a result, Towns was traded away a year later, in exchange for a bunch of corner players. Towns proved a talented player with practical actions. What is it like to purely consider playing basketball as a job? Harden wants to win and Westbrook wants to win. Downs said: What are you doing so hard? Can I still get the maximum salary if I play casually?
In the 17-18 season, Harden averaged 367 points per game, ending Sun Ce’s five consecutive scoring champions. In the 18-19 season, Harden averaged 344 points per game and won the scoring champion for two consecutive years. In the 19-20 season, he and Westbrook’s The duo had a chance to win the championship, but the regular season could bring Towns into the playoffs. When they met the Suns in the playoffs, Towns was blown out by the pie-eater center Jordan who has never been looked down upon.
The key is that Downs still wants the Warriors to trade Harden away. There are rumors that Downs said Harden has played too hard, and it seems that he is not working hard and he is not happy...
Fortunately, the Warriors did a good job of dealing with Harden. Decisively sending Towns away was a waste of Wiggins.
In the 19-20 season, Westbrook played well and really wanted to win. In the past 6 seasons, he averaged triple-doubles 5 times per game. This season chose to give up the data and play well.
But by last season, the 20-21 season, Westbrook's old attitude was full...If he had a shot, with his grass tolerance and physical talent, he wouldn't have a serious decline so early, but the key is that he did not shoot. Once he doesn't fight for rebounds and hold the ball, the slide is not too obvious.
Harden, 32, has not touched the championship ring yet, but he chose to renew his contract with 1.2 billion US dollars for 4 years. The salary drop is not small, but after Thabeet left the team, they successfully signed Gobert and Gobert. Although he was infected during the epidemic and his strength has declined after being cured, he is still one of the best centers in the league today. He played 44 games last season and averaged 105 points, 12 rebounds and 25 blocks, although there is no Towns 18-19. The stats of averaging 26 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season are pretty good, but they are definitely stronger than Towns, so Harden chose to cut his salary.
Harden doesn't want to leave. For him, the championship is not that important. The important thing is stability... Although his style of play and mentality have changed a lot, his personality is still so receptive, as long as the team does not take the initiative to trade him, there is no embarrassment. He, he will choose to stay.
Of course he will also pay for the championship. For example, this time he chose to cut his salary to help the Warriors sign Gobert.
...
Evans’s personality is similar to Harden’s, but at the beginning of his career he learned to stop being compliant. He just needs the ball, he wants to play the point guard and bully the opponent with his size on the defensive end. He can't help it, but he has the ball in his hand, and no one can defend him so well.
After going around to the third team, Evans is now settled down and signed the last long contract. His physical condition is destined for a long career.
Now, although his super combination with Durant, Porzingis and Love is too old, they are still strong and are currently the strongest team in the East.
Evans has an obsession. There are two people. He never wants to lose. Of course, there is no way to lose or not, but he will always choose to do his best when facing these two people. One is Rose and the other is Sun Ce. , These two people are the enemies of his life.
On Rose’s side, he and Griffin, one is 33 years old and the other is 32 years old, but the two seemed to have returned to their peak last season, but the role players were not good enough. Relying on the performance of last season, the Bulls attracted this year. The attention of many high-quality role players.
Shuangsha's style of play, the peak of athletic ability has a peak, athletic ability has passed, and reached the peak again at the age of 33, a completely different peak of play.
Evans and Rose, the two sufferers are Sun Ce, and they have reached the finals 7 times, of which 5 times they lost to Sun Ce...
Finally, Sun Ce is back, no matter how strong Sun Ce is, they are still unwilling to give up! They want to win, and they want to win the championship on Sun Ce!
...
There is a team that will always be touted by the media for the future, and that is the Suns with the "little lord" Antetokounmpo.
Another shrinking season is over. In this summer, Paul had only one year of expiring contract and was traded by the Suns to make room for the Knicks, who competed for Porzingis and Russell in 2022, and arrived in Jordan’s contract. After the period, the Suns did not renew their contract with Jordan. At one time, only Antetokounmpo was left. In the end, they successfully signed Embiid, Brogdon, and Adlis-Adebayor. Appointed with Payton and once again became a dazzling championship team.
After Sun Ce retired, Antetokounmpo won two regular season vp. From a data point of view, he is too much like Sun Ce. His average 30+12+7+2+2 data per game is very strong and he was also crowned. He became the title of "Little Lord of Thanos' successor" and was the first young player to have such a title.
But now, Antetokounmpo is almost 27 years old, but he has never shown a dominance similar to Sun Ce in the playoffs. He was fierce in the regular season, but he did not shoot in the playoffs. It was just statistics. It looks good.
His stats are much better than James’s current, and his style of play is actually more like James than Sun Ce, but his role is even far behind that of Cavaliers James. He is a pure breakthrough to attract pincers and points without the overall view of James. The ability to connect teams.
The key is that he and Paul are not compatible. In the past few years, the two of them caught the blind together in the playoffs... As the fourth superstar to win vp+dpoy in a single season since Olajuwon, Jordan, and Sun Ce, he entered the peak. He did not reach the conference finals.
But there are still people touting the future...
...
The Hawks, based on Ben Simmons as the core, introduced Sabonis, Oladipo, Bradley Beal, and became the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. Unlike the old superstar, Ben Simmons After entering the NBA for two years, Sun Ce retired. In those two years, he did not play in the playoffs. In the regular season, he only played against Sun Ce 4 times. For Sun Ce's comeback, he wanted to beat Sun Ce and replace him!
With the same mentality, there are Booker and Jaylen Jackson of the Heat, Kobe White and DeAndre Ayton of the Bobcats, Doncic and Tatum of the Mavericks...
Many young stars want to challenge Sun Ce. After all, Sun Ce is already 31 and almost 32 years old when he comes back. Those stars who entered the NBA from 16 to 19 have gradually become the mainstay of the league, or they have never played against Sun Ce , Or when they played against Sun Ce, they were only first- and second-year players, and they didn't really feel the fear Sun Ce brought to the league...
Everyone wants to challenge Sun Ce!
...
On September 1, 2021, Sun Ce and the Clippers reached a four-year contract of 16.4 billion U.S. dollars, rejoined the Clippers, returned to the NBA, and made a formal comeback.
When Bill Duffy and John negotiated the contract and Sun Ce confirmed the contract, he came to Seattle from Los Angeles. The housekeeping company had already arranged his house here, and Lily Collins was still in Los Angeles. The family is busy with moving, it will take a few days for the family to come, and Kobe's family also has to move with it...
Sun Ce came here first, and he has to fix some things about returning to the Clippers these days.
After avoiding the epidemic for the past two years, Sun Ce has not been idle... He gave birth to two more sons, plus the 5 sons before retiring. Now there are 7 sons, but there is still only one daughter. This is the saddest thing about Sun Ce. , So many sons, what are they doing? Ever since, I can only buy a piece of clothing for any son, buy a piece of clothing for Xiaofang.
Little mixed-race loli is so cute! And not like the older brothers and brothers who are a lap older than their peers, like Lily Collins, like a doll.
Another thing to be busy in the past two years is to play the World Cup in 19 years. This time the result was quite good. He got third place and killed the US team when he scored 8 in the finals.
This makes Curry, James, Durant, Harden and other superstars who withdrew from the national team want to vomit blood!
When they participated in the international competition, the Chinese team broke down. They did not participate. The Chinese team suddenly rose up. The most important thing is that their American team broke down. They lost 3 in 6 games!
One more thing is to allow several children born in the United States to immigrate back to the country... This process is more troublesome. When the children were born in the United States and directly obtained American citizenship, it was quite troublesome to toss, but they still entered the top three of the World Series. , But it was completely settled, but a few children have gained a lot of benefits. Some domestic policies have a characteristic. Foreigners who come to the heaven seem to have become Tianlong people...
In addition to playing at the World Championships, Sun Ce really hadn't touched basketball for a long time. He chose to retire after winning his five consecutive championships. In addition to avoiding possible epidemics, he really didn't think he was pursuing it.
At that time, he even had the highest number of championships in modern basketball, which was the highest since 1976. He didn't even think about it anymore. So after the season where his ability evaluation broke through the SS level, he chose to retreat.
In addition to this, there is also the problem of the team’s injuries. At that time, Durant, Klay Thompson, and Curry were all almost 30 years old. The same was true for his grandson. Curry and Durant did not consume Clay. -Thompson is big, but after these two consecutive championships, the two also exposed potential injuries. If he stays, the team will definitely continue to compete for the championship. There may be serious problems. Not only is the health of his teammates difficult to protect, but he is personally prosperous. The first peak period of the peak may also be affected.
Whether it was for his teammates' "goodness" or selfishness, Sun Ce felt that it was time to retire.
Also, even though Durant is waiting for him to join the Clippers with a salary cut, Sun Ce is not closely related to him. The reason... Scarlett Johansson has come to Seattle a lot in those two years...
After he retired, Durant really left. Curry also suffered a relatively large injury during the transition period of 30. Klay Thompson was okay. After the major injury that may be a crisis of his career, He adjusted his style of play, coupled with his defensive decline, and became the one with the best health status among the teammates who have won championships for at least two consecutive years with Sun Ce~EbookFREE.me~ and Sun Ce really wants to come back. The reason is that the NBA's official prayers are secondary. The main reason is that he is motivated again. At the age of 31, he also feels that his athletic ability is declining. Physical strength is not a problem. He wants to know that he has begun to change his style of play. What will it look like afterwards? It used to be speed flow. Now when I come back, my physical fitness hasn't really declined. I'm estimated to be 35 years old. After that, what will I be like?
Also, he is only one assist king to make a Grand Slam, and there are 7 championships. Can he win 5 championships after he needs to transform after his athletic ability begins to decline...
With longing, Sun Ce chose to come back after the epidemic!
The first thing Sun Ce did when he arrived in Seattle was to come to the Price Center Arena, which he hadn't been to for more than two years. He entered through the gate and came to the stadium first...
Looking at the No. 1 jersey worn by his Sun in the Clippers' two-year career... Before coming to Seattle, Sun Ce stayed in Memphis for two weeks and saw the sky over the Grizzlies Arena. Floating, he climbed to the top of the history's No. 3 jersey.
10 years! From entering the NBA at the age of 19 and a half to retiring at the age of 29 and a half, Sun Ce feels that way now. It is just a flash. He has played basketball for 10 years and has retired for two years. How many 10 years are there in a person's life? Who can turn his hobby into a career and persist for 10 years and finally succeed?
With a smile, Sun Ce walked to the training ground. During the offseason, there were people!
Sun Ce looked at the man who was practicing shooting. The man also noticed that someone was coming, and he guessed who it was, because he came to the arena to train today to wait for this man.
Sun Ce looked at the first teammate and roommate of his rookie year, and smiled: "Long time no see, Stephen, you are old too..."
