NBA: James wants to team up with me

At the end of July, the Bulls finally made a move in the free market, signing Shaquille O'Neal and Tracy McGrady with two veterans' basic salaries of 7 million.

These two signings have little impact in the league, but they have attracted widespread attention. After all, O'Neal and McGrady have both been brilliant before. One is among the top ten in the league and the most dominant center in history, and the other is relying on His elegant style of play has attracted countless fans, and he ranks among the top four shooting guards in the league.

Although both of them are in their twilight years and no longer as brave as they once were, and even if they can get a contract in the league, it will be difficult for them to perform in the new season, at least the fans of both sides are very satisfied.

Even if he is reduced to a substitute, his favorite star can still play on the court, and he may win the championship with the Bulls. Isn't this happy enough?

McGrady has never won a championship in his career. If he can win a championship trophy before retiring, even if he is not the core player of the team, it will make McGrady's fans realize their dreams.

As for O'Neal, he already has five championships in hand. With one more championship, O'Neal's total career championships will reach six, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and tying Michael Jordan.

Everyone knows that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has six championships and six MVPs, and as the historical scoring leader, why is his historical ranking lower than Jordan, who has six championships and four MVPs? First, because Kareem Abdul-Jabbar only has two FMVPs, there is a huge gap between him and Jordan, who has six FMVPs.

The second point is that both the MVP and the championship of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are watered down. The two MVPs he won in the ABA are far less valuable than the MVP after the NBA merger. And Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s sixth championship , ranking outside the top three of the team in terms of both scoring and rebounding, and is no longer part of the team's main core.

O'Neal's fans are also looking forward to the fact that after O'Neal retires in the future, six championships will elevate his historical status.

Perhaps when he first retired, people remembered this incident and did not think that O'Neal's sixth championship counted. However, as time goes by, fewer and fewer fans will gradually understand this period, and many do not understand the history of the league. Fans who see O'Neal's resume will be amazed by the dominance of the Sharks, who can actually win six championships like Jordan.

This is just like how many people don't know that the so-called most dominant O'Neal is the star who has been swept out the most among NBA superstars. He has been swept out by his opponents six times in his entire career.

And with such strong dominance, O'Neal only has one regular season MVP, which is in the same league as Olajuwon, David Robinson, and Kevin Garnett, not to mention Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's six MVPs. Well, even Duncan has two MVPs, ahead of O'Neal.

The two signings, which have been highly discussed, are generally not well regarded in the league industry. Even many expert commentators believe that the Bulls made a bad move.

"Neither Shaq nor Tracy are the players that the Bulls need now. The Bulls are not lacking in veteran experience. Garnett and Billups are both veterans who have been in the league for more than ten years. They have rich game experience. If you want the two of them to be effective on the field, there are obviously other more suitable candidates on the free market."

"The only reason we can think of for the Bulls to sign these two people is to attract attention and attract fans of the two superstars to pay attention to the Bulls. But is it really worth it? The Bulls, who have already won three consecutive championships and created a dynasty, will The goal should be to play while Garnett and Billups still have the strength to win four consecutive championships and follow the footsteps of the Lakers' OK combination, rather than resting on our laurels and being complacent."

"The league today is completely different from before! With the formation of the Big Three in Miami, an unprecedented rival has been born. At the same time, the Lakers in the West are still waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. The enemy is as strong as the forest. The attitude of the Bulls, It’s hard to say whether I can continue to defend my title.”

Of course, James also saw the Bulls' two signings and said he just wanted to laugh.

Although the various insults from Cleveland fans in the past few days have made him feel a little unhappy, as long as he thinks about being able to team up with Wade and Bosh, two outstanding partners, to fight against Wang Chong in Miami, James will feel inexplicably comfortable.

At this time, the Bulls signed two veterans in a row. In his opinion, Wang Chong was anxious and began to sign these useless veterans in a hurry.

Like O'Neal, James has partnered with him for a season this season. No one knows better than him that the Shark is old and has a complete side effect on the field. The offensive end is inefficient and the defensive end cannot guard people. When he is on the field, he still It's better to fight when he's not there.

Not to mention McGrady, O'Neal was still able to play in the game. McGrady was injured and stopped during the 09-10 season. His condition declined so fast that he was almost unable to play.

Originally, James was a little worried about whether the Bulls would choose to trade the aging Garnett and Billups in exchange for one or two outstanding star players because they formed the Heat's Big Three. In that case, the Bulls would With Wang Chong + Curry + Gasol plus a top star in his prime, it may really pose a huge threat to them.

Now it seems that he is still worrying too much.

While he breathed a sigh of relief, James inadvertently became angry.

"Wait, Wang Chong! I will definitely repay you double the humiliation you gave me before!"

Regarding the messy things in the league, Wang Chong didn't pay much attention to it. The signing of Tracy McGrady and O'Neal was just a move of love, and he didn't expect them to really strengthen the Bulls. The current Bulls are already strong enough. With Gasol's new contract, the team's salary next season is close to 8000 million. Although it is still far inferior to the Lakers' exaggerated 9500 million, the Bulls owner still needs to pay a luxury tax of close to 1200 million for this.

This is not a small number, especially since this money is given away in vain, and there is no profit. If it is not painful, it must be false.

But precisely because of this, the Bulls retained last season's winning lineup, and Gasol's stay on the team allowed the Bulls to have no shortcomings on the court, and with the growth of young players such as Curry and Danny Green, , the team will be even stronger in the new season.

Wang Chong is not worried about the team's problems next season at all. What worries him now is his proposal plan.

Yes, he plans to officially propose to Jessica Alba this summer.

To this end, Wang Chong spent a huge amount of money to customize a diamond ring worth 500 million US dollars as an engagement ring.

A few days later, on the cruise ship purchased by Wang Chong on the beach in Hawaii, he formally proposed to Jessica.

Jessica was still a little confused at first, because according to Wang Chong's habit, the offseason vacation lasts until the end of July at most. Starting in August, he will start training to prepare for the new season. This kind of lying-down indulgence is very rare.

Now she finally understood why.

Wang Chong has been waiting here for the custom-made diamond ring to be delivered.

You don’t even need any affectionate words, this kind of sparkling jewelry will always capture a girl’s heart.

Although Wang Chong's proposal ceremony was a bit old-fashioned, the process was very smooth.

Jessica was so moved that she burst into tears, and couldn't wait to nod in agreement. Wang Chong, who successfully embraced the beauty, passed through another important stage in his life.

Soon, paparazzi based in Hawaii discovered the astonishingly large dove egg diamond ring on Jessica's hand, and they immediately realized what was happening.
