The older superstars of the NBA

Leading the team to the NBA championship for two consecutive years is a supreme honor for any NBA player. Because of this, after the finals, Zhao Feiyang's fame has reached a new height.

Many people have compared him to Stephen Curry before.

Curry does not have such a terrifying physical fitness, and is only 1 meters tall. He looks closer to ordinary people in life.

But he led the Warriors to achieve unexpected results and did what ordinary players could not do.

Therefore, he can become the league's top star. Even if his external conditions do not look like the professional player that fans have in mind, he still receives praise and pursuit from the league.

At first, many fans thought that Zhao Feiyang might be able to catch up with Curry if he worked harder, but as time passed, especially as the Warriors gradually declined, those fans no longer said that.

Of course Curry is excellent, but he relies too much on the Warriors' system. When the Warriors cannot guarantee their health, his leadership will naturally not be able to help the Warriors continue to maintain the championship level.

Zhao Feiyang is different.

He also needs strong opponents, but he can lead these people to create a new system. Whether it's the Minnesota Timberwolves or the New York Knicks, he has single-handedly pulled up a team.

Players such as Zach LaVine and Adrian Ennis are of course his help, but if they are not beside Zhao Feiyang, they will not look so amazing.

Rather than saying that their strength is important, it is more important to say that their tacit understanding with Zhao Feiyang is more important.

After Zhao Feiyang's performance surpassed that of Curry, many fans began to compare him with LeBron.

LeBron has received a lot of controversy, but his position as the league's number one player at a certain stage does exist.

He is not the most skilled, but the commercial value and influence he brings are crucial to the NBA, especially as he has led the team to compete for championships for many consecutive years. This kind of off-court buzz is exactly what the NBA needs. of.

For various reasons, his personal ability and reputation have made him a league star.

In the early days, fans just thought that Zhao Feiyang might be able to rival LeBron if he won two more championships. But now, when he personally led the team to defeat LeBron, the fans' views were different!

Compared with the bad effects caused by LeBron's various transfers and groupings, Zhao Feiyang's career is relatively uneventful.

He has transferred to many teams, but Zhao Feiyang's behavior is not bad. Adrian and LaVine were not considered first-rate stars at the beginning. They were not even All-Star players when Zhao Feiyang left.

Especially Adrian, almost no team would want him as an undrafted player. If it weren't for Zhao Feiyang's help, his career would have ended long ago!

As for Zhao Feiyang's other helpers, such as Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard, they were indeed superstars once upon a time. It can be said that they were the top players in the entire league at their peak.

But Rose was injured later, and gradually fell from the level of an All-Star guard to the main player of an ordinary team. His condition fluctuated, sometimes he was good, sometimes he was bad, and sometimes injuries suddenly hit him just after he made some achievements.

Howard didn't have any serious injuries, but he was already out of his prime when he teamed up with Zhao Feiyang.

One of the few who can be considered special is probably teammates like Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins has good talent, needless to say his own strength, and his age is also very suitable. He can be said to be the core figure in the championship team.

But he is different from the players above. He has no desire for victory and no pursuit of a championship.

If there is no one to lead him, no matter where he goes to play, he may not be able to help the team win the championship as a core player.

After considering various factors, in the eyes of fans, Zhao Feiyang has surpassed LeBron's status in the league.

Maybe things like scoring data can't be compared for a while, but at least he is no worse than LeBron in leading the team and winning championships.

Once the praise appears, it cannot dissipate in a short period of time. With the support of New York fans, Zhao Feiyang has almost become a local spiritual totem in New York.

Not only was the statue erected by the fans in his honor attracted many people to pay homage, but everything about him has also become a passion of the fans, including his home country, China.

The finals have ended, the offseason has begun, and every club has entered holiday mode. Some players choose to train hard in the summer, while others choose to find a place to take a vacation and rest to relieve the physical pressure caused by high-intensity competition throughout the season.

Zhao Feiyang and Lavin had made plans early in the morning. Instead of going anywhere else, they went directly to Hawaii to start their long vacation.

At the same time, LeBron, who was supposed to go to Miami to enjoy sunbathing on the beach with Dwyane Wade, did not leave. After the game, he returned to his mansion in Los Angeles and stayed behind closed doors.

The Lakers management originally planned to find an opportunity to talk to him about contract renewal, but before general manager Rob Pelinka opened his mouth, LeBron temporarily refused due to physical discomfort.

The Lakers didn't think too much about this. They didn't dare to put pressure on LeBron for fear of accidentally forcing away the league's top star.

For Los Angeles, signing LeBron is worth whatever it takes!

LeBron is highly topical, whether there are many people who like him or hate him, as long as he is him, he can attract the attention of many people.

In addition, with him, the Lakers can continue to chase the championship. Even if they fail to win the championship, they can at least ensure that the team is sufficiently competitive.

It seems easy to mess up something like this, but the harm to the fans is huge.

Of course there is no shortage of fans at Staples Center. After all, we are in an international metropolis and there is no shortage of people here. However, if it continues to be bad for a long time, the old fans will be disappointed and leave, and the new fans will not have much stickiness. Over time, the team's market will collapse!

Diehard fans are important to any team.

While the Lakers remained silent, various gossips from the outside world began to fly. When they saw that LeBron did not announce his contract extension immediately, many self-media people in the industry started excitedly starting conspiracy theories.

This is not surprising. Regardless of whether the matter is true or false, self-media people need this kind of news to make a living, and they all need LeBron, a highly topical figure, to help them increase click-through rates.

The Lakers officials didn't say anything about this. Although fans were dubious, many people also knew that this kind of news was not reliable.

However, just when the NBA fell into silence, suddenly, a person claiming to be an internal employee of the Warriors suddenly broke the news online.

There wasn't much in his revelations. He just claimed that LeBron was in contact with the Warriors. Maybe it won't be long before LeBron will successfully join the Warriors.

As soon as this news came out, many fans were not calm! Although it is not possible to confirm the authenticity of this matter, there has never been news about LeBron joining forces with the Warriors before, but now it has come out. Does this mean that the news is not groundless?

No one knows.

While outside public opinion continued to ferment, LeBron, who was the central protagonist of the incident, also appeared in Miami.

In order to conceal this matter, the Warriors management specifically changed the meeting place between the two parties to a third city.

After all, whether the Warriors management goes to Los Angeles or LeBron goes to San Francisco, once it is photographed by the media, the news will be explosive news.

This is not what the Warriors management and LeBron want to see.

If the two parties meet in Miami, even if it is photographed, it can be explained privately as a coincidence. After all, many stars will go to the beach in Miami during the holidays.

On a seemingly ordinary night, LeBron met with Warriors general manager Bob Myers and core players such as Curry at a private club.

The club has specially prepared a large room for both parties, which has a conference room and various game equipment.

When LeBron walked in, everyone on the Warriors team was already there.

"Hey LeBron, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Man, long time no see."

The first people to say hello were general manager Miles and team core Curry, both of whom seemed to have good attitudes.

LeBron wasn't surprised.

He also has a personal relationship with Curry, and of course he knows what the other person's character is like. What really worries LeBron is Klay Thompson and Draymond Green sitting next to Curry.

Thompson has a good temper. Although he doesn't have much personal relationship with LeBron, he stood up and offered LeBron a handshake.

"LeBron, I never thought we would have the opportunity to cooperate! This is very exciting!"

Thompson said.

LeBron responded with a hug.

The two core members have already expressed their stance, but Green, who is sitting there, has not moved much. At this time, everyone became nervous, not only LeBron, but several people on the Warriors were also worried.

When the Warriors recruited Kevin Durant in the past, Green, a big-mouthed guy, would hit him hard every time he came up.

"We were already champions before you came here!"

Just this sentence made Durant so angry that he broke his guard! If it hadn't been for the persuasion of everyone in the Warriors, I'm afraid Durant would most likely not have joined the Warriors at that time.

Now they are all afraid that Green will say something like this at this time. Even if the Warriors management has communicated with Green a long time ago, no one knows whether this guy will be a fool!

If he tells it, with LeBron's attitude, I'm afraid he will never consider signing with the Warriors again no matter what!

After all, wouldn't it be nice to be the team boss yourself? It's not that he won't win the championship, but what's the point of going to the Warriors and being criticized?

Under the gaze of several people, Green finally stood up slowly and looked at LeBron, who had a deep face. Instead of being as sarcastic as everyone feared, Green took the initiative to reach out and said, "LeBron, welcome to join!" "
