Chapter 294 Yao Ming's Next Stop: Philadelphia 76ers

This wave of the Lakers is well known to passers-by. It seems that Li Lei and Yao Ming are standing there and letting them choose.

But they definitely don't know a word: If you are hot, you will die!
They do have competitors.

And the strength of the opponent is very strong.

As mentioned earlier, there are more than ten teams interested in Yao Ming.

And Yao Ming hopes to cooperate with outside stars, which wipes out some teams.

But still leaves the Lakers with a strong competitor.

Philadelphia 76ers!
The Lakers have Kobe, and the 76ers have Iverson.

At this time, Iverson's reputation was much greater than Kobe's.

And Iverson likes Yao Ming even more.

Iverson once said: Yao Ming is a gift from God to the NBA.

He has always wanted to work with Yao Ming.

So in the end, the Yao Ming battle became a game between the 76ers and the Lakers.

But I don't know why, the Los Angeles people are very confident, and they have already started singing "Don't (Buyao) Group" on social media.

"Los Angeles is a bigger city, and Yao Ming's commercial value can be more perfectly developed."

"Kobe has rich experience in winning championships. He can teach Yao Ming how to win championships. But Iverson can only teach Yao Ming how to lose."

"Kobe is younger, Kobe and Yao Ming can work together longer."

……

In the public opinion of Los Angeles fans, Yao Ming seems to be a fool not to choose the Lakers.

They seem to have won.

For this reason, Yao Ming called to discuss with Li Lei and asked Li Lei for his opinion.

Li Lei didn't point fingers: "This is your own life, you have to be responsible for yourself."

Yao Ming said: "But I don't like the Lakers. They pursued you on the front foot, and started to pursue me on the back foot because of your injury."

Li Lei smiled, Yao Ming is still kind, but: "This is your own choice, follow your own will. Don't want to take revenge on the Lakers because of my affairs, it is completely unnecessary."

Yao Ming: "Then you have no opinion at all, what if it was you?"

if it was me?

Li Lei thought for a while: "Iverson is 31 years old. If he plays for a few more years, I will be able to take over. Kobe is only 28 years old, and you are 26 years old, Yao. If you play with Kobe, you will be a lifetime Second master. Do you want to be Pippen for the rest of your life?"

On the other end of the phone, Yao Ming was silent for a while, and then a voice came: "I see!"

……

In the first minute of the opening of the trading market, the big contract between Yao Ming and the 1ers exploded.

5 million US dollars for 7500 years, with a starting salary of 1245 million US dollars.

Five years later, Yao Ming was 5 years old.If the condition is good, you can sign another big contract.

The Lakers fans were stunned.

Yao Ming... abandoned them.

"No, Yao Ming never chose you! Your arrogance has cost you everything."

Philadelphia fans rejoice.

Yao Ming + Iverson, the 76ers will undoubtedly be one of the favorites to win next season.

Of course, this is a sign-and-trade.

The 76ers also paid Chris Webber and a series of first-round picks for Yao Ming.

……

Five minutes later, the Grizzlies official website posted a new deal.

The Heat signed first and then traded.

Li Lei signed a five-year, $5 million max contract and was traded to the Grizzlies.

What the Grizzlies paid was Lorenzen White, Jack Chakarias, Chucky Atkins, Damon Stoudemire, Mike Miller, and a lot of draft picks.

This is a great deal of 5 for 1.

White and Chakarias are the fifth positions, which can make up for the problems of Mourning's retirement and O'Neal's aging.

Damon Stoudemire and Atkins are the No. [-] positions, which can make up for the vacancy of Payton's retirement.

Mike Miller is the third position, used to replace Li Lei.

Li Lei finally left Miami.

The owners and general managers of 29 NBA teams shed tears of excitement: The sky of the NBA is dawning!
At the same time, the league's blockade on the Heat was lifted, and other teams began to take the initiative to trade with the Heat in exchange for some experienced finals players.

But a few minutes later, O'Neill's status caused an uproar.

"You ruined my second dynasty, you bloody bastards!"

This state has no beginning and no end, but everyone knows that O'Neill is scolding the top leaders of the league headed by Stern.

A "super luxury tax" rule, the league finally forced Li Lei away.

The Heat's super battleship disintegrated.

Although Li Lei has acquired a large number of useful assets, how can these things compare with Li Lei.

Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find!
A thousand ordinary players would not compare to Li Lei's value.

Soon, Miami fans and Chinese fans all supported O'Neal in his state.

On the contrary, instead of showing solidarity, other fans felt gloating.

Isn't your Heat a super battleship?No more arrogance!
But it's not over yet.

Five minutes later, O'Neill sent a second status.

"I'm 36 years old. If I don't win the championship next season, I won't be able to win the second dynasty in my life. Bastards, do you know what you ruined?"

The first state is anger.

But this one has the sadness of a veteran.

The fans suddenly felt that the league's approach was too cruel.

They ruined a legendary NBA center who had a chance to play alongside Jordan.

O'Neill has been targeted too much in his life.

Reasonable collision zone, three seconds of attack, allowing zone defense...

The league set a series of rules against O'Neal, and finally deprived O'Neal of his helpers.

O'Neal should be the most targeted player in NBA history.

Not long after, Li Lei commented in O'Neill's state.

"Even if there is no second dynasty, you are the best center in NBA history in my heart. You are a big guy who can rival Black Jesus!"

And soon, "God of Basketball" Mike Jordan liked Li Lei's comment.

Jordan actually agreed with Li Lei's words.

Subsequently, Wade, James, Yao Ming, Olajuwon, Ewing, Admiral, Magician... A series of active stars and retired passing stars all liked it.

Fans even found Kobe among the people who liked it.

Even Kobe, who turned against O'Neal, recognized O'Neal's dominance.

"Shaq, you're the most dominant guy in the history of the league."

Subsequently, a group of famous coaches Rudy Tomjanovich, Pat Riley, Gregg Popovich, Phil Jackson, Larry Brown, Don Nelson... also praised Li Lei's state.

This made David Stern in New York feel tremendous pressure.

Assistant Mark Jackson asked: "President, do you need to stop them?"

Stern smiled: "How to stop it?"

Mark Jackson opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.

Yes, with so many celebrities and famous coaches, their combined power is powerless even for Stern.

Stern said: "Forget it, what they said is right, I ruined a dynasty, ruined a super battleship, ruined the legend of O'Neal, and ruined the legendary careers of Stone, Dwyane, and Pat." .”

"For the balance of the NBA league, for the development of the NBA, I must do this."

"However, I know it's wrong to do so. Even if they scold me, they should."

"As a fan, I also feel shameful about my actions."

"Shaq's career has indeed been targeted too much."

"It would be great if I was not the president of the NBA, but just an ordinary fan!"
