Chapter 1337 Changed the world

Chapter 1337 Changed the world
The first thousand and 350 chapters changed the world

The reunion of the Lakers and Celtics in the finals became the hot news in the sports world, and the Blazers suddenly became abandoned children, and no one cared about them.

Hakeem Olajuwon said after the game: "We lost by 46 points... This is a complete breakthrough of the bottom line we can accept, this is unacceptable... I am responsible for this loss."

After being the darling of the media for many years, this is Jordan's worst collapse. He rarely missed the post-game press conference.

This is very willful and irresponsible. If it is pursued, it will be a hat of irresponsibility.

However, Jordan's agent team is the best scrubbing team in contemporary professional sports, and he prepared his speech long before Jordan did such an immature thing.

"Michael Jordan missed press conference with flu."

This wave belongs to one place and two washings, which not only explains why Jordan did not attend the press conference, but also shirks responsibility for tonight's fiasco.

Olajuwon has already said "this is unacceptable", and verbally said that he is willing to take responsibility for the loss, and Teacher Dadan has played the card of smart flu, which is definitely not sticky, so what really needs to be done for Who is responsible for this?

Of course it was Pat Riley, who had declared it the "Last Dance" before the game.

In the media room at the Rose Garden, a disheartened Riley announced that his coaching career was over.

This time is different from the practice of retreating behind the scenes in 1993, but a real retirement.

Riley decided to quit basketball altogether.

In order to confirm the authenticity of this matter, the reporter confirmed several times in a row.

"Coach Riley, are you saying you're leaving coaching, or are you saying you're leaving professional basketball entirely?"

"I mean, I'm going to leave basketball altogether."

"This means that after you leave the Blazers, you will not look for another home?"

"You can understand that."

"What if there is a warm invitation from the team?"

"I don't plan to come back." Riley said miserably. "From 1992 to now, my team has lost 12 finals. I am the biggest loser in history. This life makes me sick. My body My body and mind can no longer take it anymore, and it's time for this to end."

"After retirement, will you still engage in basketball-related work?"

"I'm not going to be working in basketball anymore and this is the last time I'm going to answer that question."

In this way, Pat Riley, full of controversies, contradictions, stories and legends, bid farewell to the stage of professional basketball with a championship ring and twelve championships.

When Louie learned that Riley was retiring, he wasn't thrilled.

In every sense, Riley is the biggest opponent Louis has encountered in his career.

Although Louie has almost never lost to him, as an opponent, Riley came close to winning several times, putting Louie's team on the verge of extinction.

He lost so much that people have forgotten that Riley was also the team that led the 82 Lakers to the championship when he debuted. Without him, Showtime would not be the same.

When Riley led the Lakers to a title in 1982, Louie was there as a scout for the Celtics, still figuring his way forward and uncertain about the future.

The 82 Lakers are one of the few perfect teams in Louie's mind.

But now no one cares.

12 failures are enough to erase all memory of success.

Because, if you lose a dozen times in a row on the same track, the single success is also considered luck.

There are winners and there are no losers.

This is the eternal law of competitive sports.

Louis felt sentimental for a while, and then had to look forward.

Defeating the Blazers does not mean winning the championship. The Celtics are already waiting on the final checkpoint.

Lake Kai battle, this is definitely the most classic matchup in NBA history.

Louie bets Stern is pissed right now why he didn't promote these two teams during the season.

The Knicks and the Heat have monopolized all championships since 1988. They are super teams and exist beyond other teams.

Most people thought they would rule for another three to five years.

The destructive power of the luxury tax is far beyond imagination.

In its first season, the Knicks fell apart, the Heat self-destructed, and the moment the Blazers let Mourning go in vain, it was doomed to the current tragic ending.

The three super teams collapsed, and the league returned to the troubled times where the heroes were divided. As a result, the Lakers and Celtics with the most solid foundations took advantage of the trend and met again in the finals after ten years.

What a good point of publicity is this?The league didn't start its publicity campaign until near the end of the conference finals, which was a bit too late.

From now to the start of the finals, there will be only a few days of publicity, and its lineup is completely incomparable with that in 1984.

But it has been 1984 years since 13, but in this world, there is no such thing as "the magic bird saves the NBA".

As for the reason, of course it was because the magician was labeled as a tragedian.

After 1985, the Celtics basically beat the Lakers unilaterally. Therefore, the suspense in the finals was not much, and naturally they could not achieve the so-called "old" enemy effect that the official publicized for them.

After all, do you Lakers have the nerve to say you're the Celtics' arch-rival?Ten times in the history of the team, they have faced off in the finals, but failed to win once. Is this a rival or an ATM?
Of course, the supporters of the Lakers also have reasons to say that the 60s is too long to be mentioned, and the competition in the Western Conference in the 80s was too fierce. Unlike the Eastern Conference where the Celtics are weak, it is not difficult to advance to the Finals, so Your Celtics took advantage of the weak competition in the Eastern Conference and the poor confrontation, so that they could overwhelm the Lakers again and again in the finals.

Leaving aside why the Lakers haven't gotten stronger in the so-called competitive West, that argument was finally shattered in 1989 by the New York Knicks, who had done their best.

From 1983 to 1991, the Lakers reached the Finals eight times, losing four times to the Celtics and three times to the Knicks.

Obviously, the Lakers are the dividend itself.

In this way, the fans naturally don't take the Lakers seriously.

So, in this world, the chronicles of the NBA's 80s and 90s have largely been devoted to the Celtics and Knicks.

The official line is that the Celtics took the game to unprecedented heights and attracted many new audiences, and what the Knicks did after 1988 reshaped professional basketball and not only made the league more and more national. , It also allowed the commercialization of the alliance to develop rapidly.

Everything got better in those years, culminating in 1993.

After 1993, the long-term dominance of the Knicks and the dangers of the super team began to appear, and the development of the league also stagnated. This is the origin of all subsequent changes.

However, Louis believes that no matter how the NBA develops, the grand occasion of 1993 will not be repeated.

"Unrepeatable" is not just talk.

That night, when Louis returned home, there were celebrations from all parties in the memo, and one of them caught Louis' attention.

"Coach Lu, congratulations on entering the finals..."

The other party cut to the point after being courteous for a long time.

"In recent years, the domestic NBA basketball academies have developed rapidly, and many outstanding talents have emerged. Among them, the child named Yao Yueban is the most eye-catching. Although he is only 17 years old this year, he is already over 2 meters tall..."

After a long circle, Louis knew the other party's intentions.

It turned out that the NBA Basketball Academy wanted to use Yao Yueban to come to the United States to play in the NCAA, but they didn't know which school to go to.

Finally, the fat man who knows the ball well and will become the chairman of the Basketball Association in the future also entered Louis' sight.

Moreover, Yao Yueban in this life is different from his previous life. He is not bound by the youth team or hindered by the CBA club. He can come to the United States at his best age and compete with the most talented peers in the world. A good school, maybe his basketball skills will be more refined than in his previous life.

This matter must not be sloppy and must be cautious.
