All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

The day after the Lakers successfully defended their title, David Stern also officially delivered his retirement speech.

In his speech, in addition to reviewing the changes he has brought to the league since taking office and summarizing various achievements, Stern also expressed special thanks to those who have made outstanding contributions to the development and progress of the NBA during his tenure. .

For example, the deceased former Lakers boss Buss.

Because Su Feng's career winning record is equal to that of Bill Russell, Boss Qiao is frantically spending money in major casinos in North America.

And, Stern’s most successful pair of CPs in the history of his CP career:

——Su Feng and Kobe.

Looking back on the past, Stern, who choked several times when saying goodbye, said: "Many people have said that without me, the NBA would not be what it is today.

But in my opinion, I am just a small person who set up a stage for these big figures who could change the history of basketball during my tenure.

During my tenure as league commissioner, I experienced countless moments that will surely go down in history.

The NBA has also become a game loved by basketball fans all over the world.

I hope that in the future, the NBA can continue to bring happiness, joy and laughter to people.

Sports is sports, and basketball is basketball.

It was my purpose to show the purest side of basketball to the fans.

And now, as the curtain comes to a close, I also want to tell the next president of the league:

As the world's top basketball league, the reason why the NBA has been successful in the past is precisely because we have always upheld a heart of serving all fans and all teams. .

Without fans, basketball is nothing! "

On the day Stern officially announced his retirement, Hall of Fame Committee Chairman David Colangelo stated on his personal social network platform that in the future the Hall of Fame will design an area specifically for Stern to showcase his tenure. Great achievements for the NBA.

“He deserves such grand recognition.

Over the past thirty years, David has made indelible contributions to the NBA! "

Starting June 21, North American time, Mark, who has served as Stern's deputy for 20 years, will officially become the new president of the NBA.

Since Stern deliberately left the negotiation of the NBA's new television broadcast agreement to Mark, the owners of the league's 30 teams and most of the players congratulated Mark through social networks on the day he took office.

What's interesting is that Mark, who has always been at odds with Adam Silver, the first personnel appointment announced as soon as he took office was...

All the staff within the league who had a good relationship with Xiao Hua were transferred to Africa.

He also said euphemistically: The NBA will use its own influence in the future to provide more opportunities for African children who love the sport of basketball.

In addition, Mark also announced that the NBA will hold meetings and discussions within the next week to decide whether some game rules can still be adapted to the current version of NBA games.

It was different from the jokes in Su Feng's memory about having no limits in order to catch up with Stern.

Although in the past two years, the prevalence of offensive basketball in the NBA has greatly enhanced the viewing experience of the game.

But as a president who understands football, Mark believes that in terms of rules, the NBA must introduce some rules to help each team defend better during the game.

Because highly entertaining offensive basketball can certainly bring a lot of attention to the NBA in the short term...

But in terms of the personal abilities of modern basketball players...

If defensive players couldn't even touch the offensive player's body hair when defending...

Then how do you let those players who are good at defense play?

Moreover, there is no defensive intensity at all, and every game is comparable to an All-Star basketball game...

Can it really bring long-term benefits to the NBA?

In Mark's view, this year's finals are the best example.

Because the referees deliberately relaxed the penalties for some half-goals, many fans believe that this is the most exciting finals they have seen in recent years.

In short, how to make NBA games more exciting, in Mark's view, in addition to maintaining a balance between offense and defense through rules, the NBA must also organize referees to train as soon as possible to unify future penalty standards.

In addition, as the NBA salary cap is about to rise...

Mark believes that the NBA must further increase the intensity of super luxury tax penalties starting from next season.

In case the strength of each team in the league is completely unbalanced.

Online, after the new president Mark announced a series of NBA's next work plans, public opinion generally believed that the league was targeting the Lakers.

Because in recent years, the Lakers have been able to maintain their main framework precisely because after signing a sky-high broadcast agreement with Warner Times, the Lakers simply did not care about paying the super luxury tax.

but......

People who are worried about the Lakers may not believe it...

Su Feng didn't pay attention to the concerns in the public at all.

Because rules are all relative.

According to the plan previously agreed upon by Su Feng and Kupchak, the Lakers' reconstruction this summer took full consideration of his and Kobe's current ages.

Therefore, the Lakers will not only be the first to stand up and respond to the NBA's call, Su Feng even wants to applaud Mark's new deal.

Because after Mark’s New Deal came out...

The Lakers will surely become the team with the most room for maneuver in the NBA in the future.

25th.

After a few days of rest in Los Angeles, the Lakers officially held a grand championship parade.

Last year, due to the death of Buss, the Lakers reduced the size of their championship parade.

Therefore, in this year's championship parade, the undisturbed little Bass was not only extremely luxurious, but he also arranged a championship party with specifications that far exceeded last year's.

On the day of the championship parade, the Lakers soldiers were all having fun.

When the championship float returned to the Staples Center, Su Feng and Kobe each took out a pre-written essay and shared with the world their feelings about winning the eleventh NBA championship and winning the Finals MVP for the first time. .

At the scene, when asked about his future goals, Su Feng said bluntly: "My next goal is definitely to surpass Bill Russell and become the player with the most championships in NBA history."

Kobe said: "I hope that before I retire, I can help the Lakers build a dynasty again.

Of course, if possible, it wouldn't hurt to have the Finals MVP come a few more times. "

At the party on the night of the championship parade, Kobe obviously kept a low profile this year because of his experience of being punished by kneeling in front of his house last year.

In addition to explaining some basketball skills to Abby Hornacek, who was specially invited by Little Buster, Su Feng...

More often than not, he was regarded as an intimate brother by everyone, and they all asked him for some advice on their future careers.

"Su, to be honest, as a player who has won four championships, my current goal is not only to follow you to build the Lakers dynasty...

In the rest of my career, I also want to strive for more playing time. "Danny Green, who knew that Su Feng was the talker of the Lakers, had no reservations when talking to Su Feng.

After hearing this, Su Feng smiled and patted Green on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I know you will not be satisfied with being a substitute all the time.

So Danny, thank you so much for telling me what's really going on in your heart. "

Su Feng knew very well that the implication of Green's desire to strive for more playing time was that he did not think that if he stayed with the Lakers in the future, he would be able to surpass Middleton, who was far more talented than him, in terms of playing order.

Therefore, taking advantage of this championship party, Green not only hopes that the Lakers will not trade him before the dynasty is established, but also hopes that he can break up with the Lakers peacefully when he chooses to leave in the future.

"Thank you for understanding my situation.

Su, I can also make a promise to you here, that is, even if I leave in the future, I will be more inclined to sign and then trade to get at least one or two draft picks for the Lakers. "Looking at Su Feng, Green said frankly.

Su Feng nodded.

In the NBA, there is no guarantee that every player will be as hardworking as before after winning enough championship rings.

Compared with his own memory, Zhang Tielin is already full of honors now.

So like Xiaojia...

Even though Su Feng and the Lakers players have made a lot of money through investment over the years...

Their respective career goals have already quietly undergone great changes.

After having a heart-to-heart talk with Green, Rondo and Bogdanovich also found Su Feng shortly afterwards.

Unlike Green who wants to stay with the Lakers for another year...

Because there have been rumors recently that after the announcement of Mark's new deal, the Lakers will not give Rondo a maximum salary extension as previously promised, so Rondo wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity tonight to find out about Su Feng. tone of voice.

"Boss, can you give me a thorough explanation first?

Actually, I don’t have to ask for a maximum salary...

But I don't want to be left in the dark. "Looking up at Su Feng, Rondo asked.

"Rajan, believe me, the super luxury tax will not be a problem for the Lakers to renew your contract." Su Feng patted Rondo on the shoulder and smiled.

"But what about the future?" Rondo asked.

"Are you talking about after I retire?" Su Feng asked.

"Yes...Boss, you also know that I am only 28 years old this year.

And I never think that I am worse than Chris (Paul), so can you tell me how the Lakers plan to build the team in the future? "After pondering for two seconds, Rondo said.

Hearing this, Su Feng knew that Rondo's implication was that he hoped that he could become the leader of the Lakers after he and Kobe retired.

Obviously, in this life, with the great changes in his career experience, the ambition of this Rondo far exceeded the Rondo in Su Feng's memory.

"Rajan, after Kobe and I retire, your authority in the locker room will definitely be unmatched.

But I know you want more than just a locker room leader, right? "Su Feng asked.

Rondo nodded, "I hope the team can give me more trust in tactics."

Ever since we said goodbye to Miami...

Because he has long been criticized as the "most popular All-Star", Rondo is also extremely eager for people to give him more recognition.

When he first came to Los Angeles, Rondo made a lot of sacrifices for Su Feng and Kobe to improve their statistics.

Therefore, Rondo naturally hopes that the Lakers can play around him in the future after Su Feng and Kobe retire.

But for Su Feng, who knows that the Lakers will definitely build a team around two pieces of pork belly in the future...

Rondo's request is exactly what he cannot guarantee.

"Rajan, I can promise you that before I retire, Kobe and I will try our best to help you improve your statistics on the court.

Moreover, you will definitely get a maximum salary that matches your actual contribution.

But in the future, after Kobe and I retire, how the Lakers will build the team is not something you and I can decide. "Looking at Rondo, Su Feng said frankly.

As everyone knows.

Because Su Feng and Kobe are the kind of players who don't care whether the ball is always in their hands as long as they have the right to take action.

Therefore, even if it seems that the current Lakers have many ball-holding points, Rondo's tactical status can be guaranteed.

But what about those two young pieces of pork belly?

To know......

Su Feng had never seen a game in which they cooperated with Rondo.

Coupled with the fact that young people are in power, the most favorable soil will inevitably be provided for them...

Therefore, Su Feng did not dare to make a guarantee to Rondo that after the Lakers entered the era of two pieces of pork belly, Rondo could still play happily in the sewer as he is now.

"I understand what you mean, thank you, boss.

In my opinion, meeting you in my life is simply my greatest luck.

In fact, when I come to you today, I don’t exactly want to get assurance from you.

Because I know very well that in this league, no one can stay on the throne based on seniority alone.

So, I am here to express my opinion to you...

This summer, if the Lakers offer me a contract with an annual salary of more than 15 million, I will never sign it. "Looking up at Su Feng, Rondo said suddenly.

But this time, Su Feng, who originally expected Rondo to look disappointed, was almost defeated by Rondo.

"You mean...

You...you don't want the maximum salary? " Touching Rondo's forehead, Su Feng, who always felt that the child had a fever, asked curiously.

“Boss, when did I tell you that I won’t sign a contract unless I have the maximum salary?

Haven't you been deceiving me with your maximum salary before? Rondo asked rhetorically.

Hearing this, Su Feng was stunned for a moment, then...

Then before he could speak, Rondo continued: "I know that you were afraid that I would be troubled by losing some data, so you thought of ways to solve these worries for me.

But the boss...

I have always known that around you, I am a green leaf.

So not only do I know exactly what salary I should get, I also know my position on this Lakers team.

To be honest, if you just told me that after you retire, the Lakers will build a team around me...

Then I feel that this team is not worth my long-term stay.

Because a team built around green leaves like me, no matter how good the results are, how much better can it be?

I hope I can help this Lakers through the rebuilding period after you retire.

But I don’t want to have to pay a high salary to watch others make achievements on the field.

And don't lie to me, even if I test the free agent market this summer, my maximum value will only be around 15 million a year.

So it’s not that I don’t want a maximum salary.

I just hope the Lakers can give me a long-term contract. "

Su Feng: "..."

Damn it!

If you don’t understand, just ask, is it Rondo’s awareness as a “player and coach”?

actually......

To put it bluntly, except for Kobe and a few friends who Su Feng had treated with sincerity, Su Feng didn't know Rondo well enough.

In Su Feng's previous life, Anji was not so harsh on Rondo...

So how could Rondo be homeless in the second half of his career?

And from the perspective of a traveler, was Rondo's request for an offer excessive?

But what about Angie's response at that time?

Two years, the average annual salary is between 11 million and 13 million...

Not bragging, even if Rondo was plagued by injuries for several consecutive seasons...

Throwing such a contract in front of Rondo is tantamount to humiliation.

In fact...

Rondo has never cared about annual salary.

But like he said...

He hopes to get a long-term contract.

A piece of the team's trust in him.

Right now, as the green leaf beside Su Feng and Kobe.

In the future, as the Lakers rebuild, those young people will be the green leaves around them.

Even Rajon Rondo is far more ambitious than his previous life.

All he wanted was trust.

Therefore, the Lakers chose to bite the bullet and give themselves a big contract for 2 or 3 years this summer.

After gaining trust from Su Feng, Rondo only wanted a long-term future.

“Boss, don’t worry, I’ve made a lot of money by investing with you in the past two years.

I know that in the NBA, player salaries also symbolize contracts.

So if the Lakers are willing to trust me...

In return, I don't want the Lakers to break their original salary structure because of me. "Patting Su Feng on the back, Rondo smiled.

have to!

Anyway, it's Rondo's decision.

So at this moment, in addition to lamenting that little Buzz is a fool, he has a fool's blessing...

What else could Su Feng say?

At the championship party, after Rondo was sent away, Bogdanovic's request was relatively simple.

That is......

He wishes he could switch teams to get more playing time.

Because at the moment, the level of involution within the Lakers makes Bogdanovic afraid to think that he can play the main role in this Lakers...

So after winning another championship ring this year, Bogdanovic knew that it was time for him to tell Su Feng his true thoughts.

"I understand you very much, Boyan.

After two days, I will ask Mitch (Kupchak) to deal with matters related to your departure from the team.

But can you tell me in advance, which teams do you prefer? "Su Feng asked.

Hearing this, Bogdanovich was also shocked.

Because he just wanted to leave the team through a trade, how could he have imagined that in the NBA where players are commodities...

The Lakers can be so humane!

"If possible, I don't want to be traded to the Celtics, Warriors and SuperSonics, because I don't want to be your enemy." Bogdanovic laughed.

Su Feng nodded and said, "You are a good person, Boyang."

The championship parade and championship party are temporarily over.

On the 27th, the 2014 NBA Draft was officially held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Compared with Su Feng's memory, the draft picks of each team this year have changed a lot.

First, the team that won the No. 1 pick changed from the Cavaliers to the Timberwolves.

Because in this life, when little James left Cleveland, he did not arouse the strong dissatisfaction among Cavaliers fans as Su Feng remembered...

Therefore, the NBA naturally no longer needs to constantly use the No. 1 pick to compensate Cleveland.

For many years, the Timberwolves, who have been competing with the Texas Bears to see who is worse, finally ushered in their "savior" this year.

With the first pick in the first round, they used their No. 1 pick without hesitation to select the one who walked to the center of the stage with Su Feng when Britney sang "The Legend Will Never Die" for Su Feng. , and later changed his name to "Su"...

Sue Wiggins.

On the main stage, when Wiggins appeared wearing a Timberwolves hat, the young man said with excitement: "On this day, I finally realized my dream of many years!

Uncle Su Feng, NBA, here I come! "

When Su Feng saw this scene in front of the TV, he was filled with emotions.

Because I remember when he led Wiggins to the center of the stage at Air Canada Arena...

At that time, he was still a young man in his early twenties.

but now......

"Time is not forgiving!" Su Feng sighed silently in front of the TV.

Although in the future, the rookies of the 14th class will generally be overrated in people's eyes...

But as a draft year recognized by scouts before the start of the draft...

There are indeed many good prospects in this rookie class.

With the second pick in the first round, the Bucks, who won the second pick, selected Jabari Parker.

"The Great" Embiid, who was previously one of the top picks, was selected by Philadelphia Digital with the third pick in the first round.

Like Nerlens Noel last year, Embiid's future is also clouded because he underwent surgery on a stress fracture in his right foot before the draft.

And, if Su Feng remembers correctly...

Next season, Embiid will also be reimbursed due to injury.

In fact, Embiid will not start his debut season until the 2016/17 season.

It has to be said that with the development of modern sports medicine, young players are no longer as afraid of "returning to the factory for overhaul" as before.

In addition, as the source of motivation for Su Feng to participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest for the last time before retiring, Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine were eliminated by Mosaic with the fourth pick in the first round and the 13th pick in the first round respectively. The Pelicans selected.

In order to completely block the way for young people in the future...

Nonsence!

In order to let the young people of the future feel the care from the seniors, Su Feng had planned early on to have a good competition with LaVine and Gordon before retiring.

At the scene, just when Su Feng was thinking about how he could defeat LaVine and Gordon in the dunk contest, news of various teams making trades in the draft came back.

First, the Celtics used next year's first-round pick (2015) plus Perkins and Wallace to acquire Marcus Smart from the Trail Blazers.

Because both Perkins and Wallace only had the last year left on their contracts, the Blazers management believed that Smart was not the cornerstone of the Blazers' reconstruction and agreed to the deal without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, the Knicks used Aldridge to return Julius Randle and Tyler Ennis from the Kings.

no doubt.

This is a typical stupid deal.

Because while Randall’s future is bright…

But right now in 2014, Ade is a genuine All-Star power forward.

Su Feng knows that as long as D'Antoni can make good use of Ade next season, the Kings will definitely become a force that cannot be underestimated in the Western Conference.

Because you have to know that Tyreke Evans in this life...

This is not the Evans who was played badly in Su Feng's memory.

Plus Cousins, Jeremy Lin, Thomas Jr. and others...

"Does the Knicks think the Western Conference is not chaotic enough, so they sacrifice themselves to make the Western Conference a success?" In front of the TV, Su Feng commented on the Knicks' deal with a puzzled look on his face.

One thing to say.

This time Su Feng really wronged Knicks.

Because the main reason why the Knicks wanted to trade Ade in the draft was because Ade himself didn't want to stay in the Knicks.

Last season, Ade, who was always sandwiched between Anthony and Jackson, just wanted to make some achievements while he was still at his peak.

Therefore, after the Knicks front office traded Ade for Randall and Ennis, two potential newcomers inside and outside, even James Dolan made a special call to the Knicks front office, " Congratulations, you have won the jackpot!"

Among the first-round picks in the 14th class, another potential insider, Clint Capela, was selected by the Celtics after trading up the draft picks.

Before the draft started, everyone knew that the Celtics would definitely strengthen their stretched inside line.

but......

At this time, Bird, who just wanted to choose a more reliable substitute, didn't know...

In a sense, the Celtics also hit the jackpot tonight.

The 30th pick in the first round.

It's the Lakers' turn to play.

Following Su Feng's instructions, Kupchak used the Lakers' first-round pick this year to select Nikola Jokic from Serbia.

Although before the start of the draft, the media generally predicted that Jokic would fall to the latter part of the second round.

But because the Lakers used their first-round pick to select the teacher, not only can they keep him for four years in vain, but they can also use bird rights to complete the over-cap contract renewal in the future.

So Su Feng told Kupchak early on that the Lakers must use their first-round pick to select Jokic this year.

At the draft, as the last player in the 14th first-round pick to receive the blessing of president Mark, when Jokic came on the field with a big belly, many people were curious about why the Lakers chose this player who seemed to have no chance at all. Not like the fat paper of professional players.

But in the near future...

People will be shocked by the Lakers' selection in this year's draft.

"Su, do we want to sell our second-round pick?" In the Lakers' forward operations conference room, after completing the important tasks assigned to him by the Maple King, Kupchak continued to ask Su Feng for instructions.

"Sell it, and then buy a pick that is higher in the second round." Su Feng said after pondering in his mind for a while.

"Who are we going to draft with that draft pick?" Kupchak asked curiously.

“Shaun (Livingston)’s successor in the future.

Spencer Dinwiddie. " Su Feng replied.

As a point guard with a height of 198 centimeters, Su Feng is very optimistic about Dinwiddie's development with the Lakers.

Because both García and Jokic have the ability to help teammates create mismatches in the air.

In addition to playing against the Warriors, the Lakers need to drag out Stephen Curry, who was hidden by Van Gundy...

Therefore, it is impossible for Su Feng to miss a big point guard like Dinwiddie.

So, with the seventh pick in the second round, after the Lakers used dirty money to force the Pacers to reluctantly trade their pick to the Lakers, Kupchak immediately used it to select Dinwiddie from the University of Colorado.

result......

Unlike Jokic who knew early on that he was going to report to the Lakers.

Because Dinwiddie never went to Los Angeles when he was working out alone...

So almost instantly, Dinwiddie almost fainted due to excessive excitement.

Mom, I'm going to Los Angeles to play ball!

this......

Is this the legendary pie in the sky?

In front of the TV, watching Dinwiddie, who was so excited that he was incoherent when he took the stage, the elderly Kobe Bryant had already seen through the kid's future career.

"It seems that he is another miserable kid who is still counting money for Su Feng after being sold by Su Feng." Looking at Dinwiddie on the TV screen, Kobe sighed silently.

At the Barclays Center, after the Lakers selected Dinwiddie, the Warriors also spent money to purchase draft picks in the second round to select Jordan Clarkson, one of the future NBA famous socialite Jenna Kardashian's ex-boyfriends.

I have to say that even if he is not traveling through the party, the LOGO man’s vision is better than the average person.

Because this summer, after Kirilenko and Nash retired one after another, the Warriors, whose substitute lineup is seriously aging, are in great need of young people like Clarkson who can lead the charge.

With the 2014 draft officially coming to an end.

After Kupchak returned to Los Angeles, the Lakers also officially started their reconstruction plan. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

The Lakers will not choose to renew Whiteside's contract this summer.

Although it seems a pity to let go of a multi-million-level center for nothing...

But because the Lakers will complete contract extensions with Rondo, Su Feng, and Kobe this summer...

So Kupchak rejected early on his assistant team's hope that he could persuade Whiteside to sign and trade.

In the NBA, the prerequisite for sign-and-trade must be that both parties to the transaction can comply with the NBA's corresponding salary rules.

Therefore, in Kupchak's view, those members of the Wohu uniform team who are reluctant to give up this and that are just a group of fools in terms of structure.

Especially the guy that Jeanie Bass installed by her side called Rob Pelinka.

In Kupchak's view, if Aunt Jenny had really taken the position back then, this tough guy named Pelinka would have overdrawn the Lakers' future!

For now, giving up Whiteside is welcome.

But because Whiteside himself is a dispensable piece of chicken for the current Lakers.

Therefore, in Kupchak's view, only by giving up first can you gain something.

"Now, it's time to show off your true skills!" On this day, looking at the small note left by Maple Emperor, Kupchak muttered to himself after taking a deep breath.

…
