Chapter 112: Three Old Fellows

Li Yiming sat in his place, although his head was lowered, he couldn't stop looking at the two people opposite him with his spare eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

He sat with the Germans, and the two people sitting opposite each other were strong and thin, one black and the other white, and if there was anything in common, it was that their faces were full of vicissitudes, and they were obviously not young.

The German next to Li Yiming grabbed his shoulders and glanced around at everyone present, four basketball players who were much larger than ordinary people sat together, and immediately stuffed the seats that were not too spacious.

The Germans had a smile on their faces, very kind, as if they were glad that they had brought these men together.

"Everyone, you should all know each other, right?" He exchanged glances with everyone, and saw a smile in all three pairs of eyes.

The youngest Li Yiming took the initiative to talk, "Of course, as long as you like the NBA, I think basically no one doesn't know them." ”

He said to the thinner white man, "Hey, Steve, I'm your fan." ”

It's not polite, the other party in Li Yiming's heart, is really a spiritual idol when he first met basketball, like other ordinary fans, Li Yiming often imitates the opponent's gorgeous passing and strange breakthrough skills - even if the effect is not good, after all, the technical styles of the two are still very different.

This white man is none other than Li Yiming's idol, who is based in the NBA with his staggering basketball IQ and historic offensive talent, even if his physical fitness is outrageous, he still became the first point guard to win two consecutive NBA regular season MVPs, and may be one of the best and most ideal offensive players in history.

The perfect combination of creativity and competitiveness, once the soul of the Suns and the captain, the lifelong enemy of the Spurs and the Mavericks, has set off a gorgeous offensive storm, and has been the favorite to win the NBA several times.

He is an artist who passes the ball, a commander on the field, and a fighter who constantly fights against his depleted flesh.

He is Steve Nash, nicknamed the Son of the Wind, a late bloomer who has been on the run all his life.

"Wow." Hearing this, Nash had a warm smile on his face, he was already forty years old, he had cut off his long hair, his beard was neatly trimmed, and he was wearing a loose casual suit, and the whole person looked more like a successful business person on vacation than an athlete. He leaned slightly to the side at the moment, "My pleasure." ”

"I mean really." As a die-hard fan of the other party, Li Yiming of course knew that he always had a light temper, so he didn't feel left out, "Why don't we take a group photo after dinner?" ”

"Hey, Lee." Seeing that Li Yiming was not too calm, the German next to him patted him on the shoulder, "The days of meeting in the future will be long, sooner or later you will get tired of Steve's old face." ”

He and Nash are very familiar with each other, so they are naturally not afraid of the other party's anger when they joke.

The two became teammates when the German first entered the NBA, not only on the court, but also off the court, the two burned their heads together like fools, accosted girls together, ate together, watched football together, played games together, and worked together for six years until Nash returned to the Suns.

Everyone laughed, along with the strong black man who had not spoken all this time.

Nash, who was beside him, patted him on the chest with the back of his hand, "Carter, why do you just smile when you come, and you don't want to say a word." ”

He and the other party also briefly served as teammates with the Suns for a year, so they didn't have a point.

"Are you shy?" A hint of banter flashed in Nash's eyes.

The man who was called Carter was still smiling, I don't know if he was too young or had experienced too much, his originally fierce facial features had already softened a lot, and his smile at this moment was actually a bit gentlemanly. "No, I'm just a little sad, Li's style is obviously more like me, and it's really frustrating that I actually like you."

Including Li Yiming, everyone laughed.

But what he said is true, Li Yiming's style of play is indeed more similar to him than Nash: quick first step, good three-point ability, strong without the ball and with the ball... The most similar thing is the explosive physical fitness, and the desire to wreak havoc on the basket as long as it breaks through the inside.

"Hey, I like you too, Vince." Li Yiming waved his hand, "It's just, can you understand that feeling?" People always crave more for things they don't have - Steve's vision and passing are really enviable, and people can't help but admire them. ”

Hearing this, Carter seized the loophole in his words, "You mean, do I have all the abilities?" ”

Li Yiming was stunned, but he didn't refute it, just touched the back of his head and smiled stupidly as a tacit acquiescence.

Although Carter was also a superstar when he was young, he was able to play seven playoff games with Iverson at his peak, scoring more than 50 points at every turn, and he was also the master of not scaring anyone on the offensive end.

But Li Yiming is not an ordinary person, the season of winning the regular season MVP and half of the FMVP in the finals has not passed too long, he is only 23 years old this year, even if he takes the Korean algorithm, he is only 24 years old, in the position, in addition to some skills, he is still lacking in honing and has not reached the realm of perfection, relying on rare physical talent and offensive ability that has been improving, he is destined to become a big man who can go down in history and be inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame and compete with the ancient gods.

and Nash are not the same style, so they can look at it with appreciation and learning, but in the face of Carter, whose height, body shape and even technical characteristics are similar to his own, Li Yiming knows in his heart that some things are inferior to the other party, but he will definitely not admit it on the surface.

This is the pride of being an NBA player, who can stand on this stage, who is not the pride of the sky in their respective environments, if you want to say that you can be completely convinced of who in your heart, except for the basketball god, no one is estimated to be so respected.

Seeing Li Yiming's performance, Carter is just a cousin, and the two are not from the same era: he is old, and Li Yiming still has countless possibilities although he experienced the first major injury in his life.

If he were ten years younger, maybe the two would really face each other-for-tat.

As for now, Carter's gaze at him is more of an appreciation for the spirit of his juniors.

Maybe there is also relief, the two really have too many similarities, Carter has watched Li Yiming's game, and the other party's gestures make him feel familiar, not from others, but from the memory of his youth deep in his heart.

The same unruly, the same domineering and invincible, but also suffered the same serious injuries and was crushed to the bottom overnight.

Vince Carter was once the well-deserved king of the Raptors, led the team to the playoffs in the second year, won the All-Star vote king four times, led the Raptors to the Eastern Conference Finals in the third year, and fought seven games with Iverson's 76ers.

Even after a major injury in the fourth year of his career, left knee surgery had to be reimbursed for the season, Carter, who returned from injury after a year, once again won the All-Star ticket king, and then was traded to the Nets, and is still a competitive favorite to win the championship for a long time.

Of course, there will always be a minority of people with happy endings, Rao is talented, Carter, who was once the league's popular fried chicken, like Nash, has not won an O'Brien Cup until the twilight of his career, and has never enjoyed the excitement and joy of winning the championship.

Carter looked at Li Yiming, and only felt that the other party was full of his youthful appearance.

But he must not be like himself, who has not won a championship for more than ten years. Carter couldn't help but think.

Thinking of the championship, Carter's eyes couldn't help but dim, and his face was full of embarrassment, "If a few of us had gotten together when we were young, maybe we would have won the championship a long time ago." ”

Hearing his words, Nash was stunned, and his face was somewhat longing, "Maybe there is more than one." ”

"Two in a row, three in a row?" The Germans also wondered, "At least I don't have to wait until 2011." ”

Son of the Wind, two-time MVP Steve Nash, demigod Vince Carter, Hope Li Yiming, German tanker, all-time top five power forward Dirk Nowitzki.

What would it be like for such a group of people to get together and be at their peak? No one can imagine that it can only be achieved in 2K... Li Yiming couldn't help but think with some bad taste.

"So, how much more does the salary cap have?" Li Yiming interjected, pouted and said, "Okay, no matter how generous our boss is, it is estimated that he will go crazy." ”

The atmosphere of "hahaha......haha" was pulled back to reality, and everyone laughed together.

"It's strong now, too." The Germans are still very satisfied, "Those guys in the Holy City, aren't they also old arms and legs, and they still won the championship last year." ”

He was talking about the Spurs, "They can, why can't we." ”

Li Yiming was stunned, and couldn't help but start looking forward to the new season, but reason still tended to him: "But they still have Leonard." ”

"Lee, you're too unconfident in yourself." Although he was also very worried about Li Yiming's performance after returning from injury, Nash still followed the words of his old friend and said: "You are also FMVP, and you have won MVP!" ”

Carter nodded approvingly.

"What about Danny Green?" Li Yiming still said: "He is not only good at defense, but also a good three-point player." ”

"We might poach Parsons." Nowitzki threw out a piece of news, and everyone who heard it couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"That Parsons of the Rockets?" Carter asked.

"I just said maybe." The German tone was very sure, "The contract that the boss gave him is not low." ”

Chandler Parsons, a white small forward, has improved his stats every year since he entered the NBA, his height has reached 208cm while still having good athleticism, high basketball IQ, perfect technical characteristics and strong combat power, his performance on the Rockets last year made many teams optimistic, although he is not a superstar but also has All-Star level strength.

"Maybe we—" Steve Nash raised his eyebrows, his mindset not quite the same as the jokingly optimistic he had before. In addition to the four in the room and the upcoming Parsons, the Mavericks also signed Monta Ellis - he is also very capable, and the two-way guard position is far above the league average in other aspects except for the big picture and projection, and he could have made the All-Star if it weren't for too much talent on the Western Conference guard line.

Vince Carter patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, I've always been confident that I didn't come to the Mavericks to retire." ”

"What do you mean by this, I'm here to support the elderly?"

"Haha......" The other three laughed.
