427: It's great, but it's not all there is to professional basketball (4.9K Ask for Votes)
The reward for playing the finals this time is indeed a bit bad.
The first is the task of "a veteran who realizes his dreams".
This quest was unlocked in the finals G1, when Uncle Mu was on the field.
Objective: Win the tournament as early as possible and let the veterans enjoy the thrill of the Grand Final! In the finals, let Marbury and Mutombo get any 10+10 data combined.
The quest reward is a random raffle pack for Marbury and Uncle Mu.
Wayne didn't think much about this task at the time, after all, the ban had not been lifted at that time, and Uncle Mu had only been on for a few minutes, and he didn't get any data.
Moreover, Wayne felt that the Magic's resistance should be more fierce after this.
Where do you know......
So, this task, which I didn't have much expectation, was completed.
Wayne thought at first that it was the same lottery package as Lao Ma and Uncle Mu, but who knew that when he opened the backpack, he found that all the rewards of Lao Ma and Uncle Mu were combined into a lottery package and a reward was drawn......
It's so special.
After Wayne clicked on the raffle package, a special action flashed: "Mutombo's Loose Finger (Silver)." ”
Effect: Shaking your finger after each cap can provide a small attribute bonus to the next cap, and the bonus can be stacked.
Well, this action can be said to be very Uncle Mu.
Wayne's sealing attribute itself is high, and this also gives the attribute bonus, so it will be cracked directly.
Although the NBA stipulates that the action of shaking his finger can only be done by Uncle Mu, in fact, only Uncle Mu can shake his finger to his opponent.
Others wagged their fingers at the audience.
To be honest, it is the relaxation of the policy, as long as you don't shake people's faces, who knows if you are at the opponent or the audience.
But the embarrassing thing is ......
Wayne's special action slot has been used up, and if you want to equip Uncle Mu's finger shaking action for a while, you have to make a trade-off.
Subsequently, Wayne opened the point exchange system.
Wayne has won a lot of personal honors this year, such as the three-point contest championship, the double-first-team, the regular season MVP, FMVP, and the championship.
Although the All-Star MVP and DPOY were robbed, they can also be redeemed for 17 bonus points in total.
However, after Wayne exchanged the MVP and the three-point contest championship, he found that the others could not be redeemed.
This Nima ......
Will there be bugs in the system?
Don't mess with me, sir!
As a result, when I looked at the prompt, I realized that the number of times the 40 redemption limit had arrived.
Wayne almost forgot that there is such a condition, that is, each upgrade can only be exchanged for a maximum of 40 bonus points, to avoid the bug of Wayne card to use the low price to upgrade to the full level.
And after the last exchange, there are only six left.
Good guys, Wayne calls good guys.
This broken system, you let me be cool at one time, can you crash or what?
Why are there so many rules and regulations?
Damn.
If you want to exchange it again, you can only work hard to level up.
Special moves are available, but there are no equipment slots.
Points were redeemed, but only for 6 points.
Wayne really feels like this wave is a good loss.
After lunch, the Trail Blazers boarded a plane to Portland.
Wayne sat in his place holding the championship trophy, well, by this time the championship trophy had been cleaned up without any unknown liquid on it.
At this time, Patterson stood up from his position next to Paoluo, and the two seemed to have been talking for a long time.
After talking to Can'er, Patterson walked straight towards Wayne and sat down next to Wayne.
"Congratulations, Wei, well done, we're brilliant again."
Patterson patted Wayne on the shoulder and traded for Wayne, which could be the most violent trade of his career.
"Yes, two championships in three years, we are definitely one of the most vibrating teams in the first decade of the 21st century."
"Hmm...... Way, when we get to Portland, can we talk about a few days off? ”
"About Paul's contract renewal?" Wayne looked at Patterson, not beating around the bush.
Re-signing Paul is the Trail Blazers' top priority this summer, so Patterson knows he's going to have to talk to Wayne.
"Yes, about Chris. Paul's renewal issue. As you should know, this rookie reward clause named after you is actually a clause that the league deliberately put to contain us in the first place.
They are afraid of you, of you to rule this alliance completely.
And I've heard that the league is about to introduce a super luxury tax provision, you know what that is? ”
"I know, I've heard."
"So...... Wei ......"
"What did Chris say?" Before Patterson could finish speaking, Wayne asked in advance.
"He said he hadn't thought it through either, and wanted to sit down with you and have a good talk."
"Well, then, let's find a time after the championship parade. Now, let's celebrate the victory. ”
Wayne smiled and nodded, he had been mentally prepared for the arrival of this day.
At this time, the plane was ready to land.
Wayne put on sunglasses and a championship baseball cap and held two trophies.
It's time for the king to accept the worship of his subjects!
The plane came to a standstill, the hatch opened, and the sound of the crowd whistling poured in.
Pao'er smiled and looked at the crowded scene below, it was the first time he had experienced this.
When he walked out of the cabin, the feeling of being worshiped by everyone simply made the cannon flutter.
In the end, Wayne came out with the O'Brien Cup in his left hand and the FMVP trophy in his right hand.
Suddenly, the cheers were countless times louder than just now!
Well, in Portland, only Wayne is the forever protagonist.
A day later, the Trail Blazers held a championship parade.
Paul is also participating in the full course for the first time, after all, he was still recovering from an injury when he won the title last time he won the championship......
The eyes of the world are on Portland, and the parade is a sight to behold.
After all, it was when the two teams were still playing in the finals, and Portland was already planning a championship parade, could it not be grand......
At the celebration dinner on the day of the championship parade, everyone was revelry.
Sir Ba held the championship trophy and watched it over and over again.
I've really hit a championship trophy!
Late at night, after a bit of drinking, Sir Ba walked up to Wayne, and a flying pig pounced and threw Wayne onto the couch.
"Wei, it's great to be able to fulfill your championship dream in your team......"
Wayne couldn't listen that much at the time, because he was about to suffocate.
No, you have to talk like that!?
"We have something to say, Charles, don't do it in public!"
"Hey...... Belch! Belch...... Wei, you are my good brother, good brother! You're a tough guy, you know? Now in this alliance, I will serve you the most! ”
Looking at the drunken Sir Ba, Wayne couldn't help but smile.
A few peanuts like this.
"Don't worry, when I return to the TV station, whoever wants to hack you again in the future, I will be the first to jump out and line up with him! Really, I promise. In the media section, you have a loyal friend, brother! ”
"Back to the TV station?" Wayne was stunned for a moment.
"Well, I'm an old man, it's useless to stay any longer. And it's dry this season...... I feel so tired......
Besides, doesn't the alliance still have to set up some kind of pre-job training for me?
But fuck it, uncle, I won't wait!
What's wrong with me hitting a few scumbags? What's wrong? ”
Good fellow, worthy of Sir Ba, with a temper!
A fighter should have a temper!
But...... I'd rather want to go back to the TV station because no one hit me!
The temperamental drivers all went to sell tofu, and the temperamental fighters all went to the TV station, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"That's why I'm here to tell you this, Wei. Next season, I may not be in the team.
Our friendship is permanent, though, man. Thank you for helping an old man end this dream that has been going on for decades.
Thank you for giving me a taste of what it's like to win a championship. ”
With that, Sir Ba hugged Wayne solemnly.
Wayne didn't say anything more, forcibly keeping people has always been not Wayne's style.
And Wayne, who has already completed his physical tasks, will not have to worry about playing in full attendance next season.
Shoot when it's time to shoot!
Sir Ba is not here, I'm on top of Goldway!
We're still the best team in the league!
Alliance Everyone: Viagra, promise me, tap!
After Sir Ba left, Uncle Mu also came to have two drinks with Wayne and said that he wanted to retire.
Being able to get a ring at the end of his career, Uncle Mu is already very satisfied.
At his age, how long can he sit on the bench and blow the air conditioner...... I'm afraid I'm going to get arthritis.
So, retiring at the top is the best option.
But he said he was still willing to play for the team in another capacity, such as interior defense coach or something.
"Although I am old, it does not prevent my elbows from being black! In the future, when I train, I can help newcomers stack armor.
Look at DeAndrew's kid this year, isn't he being stacked with a good armor! Uncle Mu patted his chest proudly.
Wayne nodded again and again, if you want to talk about elbowing, I have a common language with you.
The two old elbow kings exchanged experiences with each other, talked happily with each other, and laughed "giggles" from time to time.
What the hell is this defensive coach, you're applying for an elbow coach!
Little Jordan on the side overheard the conversation between the two, and instantly sweated profusely and shivered.
Viagra, uncle, Qiuqiu would rather be a person!
Spare the kids!
Isn't my experience bad enough!?
At this time, the birdman came over and put his arm around little Jordan's shoulder: "Come, dry this bottle of wine!" ”
Little Jordan looked at the birdman and was stunned again.
Oh, it's time for Brother Bird to return next season......
Jordan Jr. wants to cry without tears, and he may be the first player in the league to retire because he was elbowed too badly in training.
After the celebration dinner, it means that the champion members can officially start their vacation.
But Wayne and Paul are not there yet, they have a very, very important thing to talk about.
The next night, at a fancy restaurant, Wayne, Cannon and Patterson sat together.
During the meal, the three of them chatted about something and didn't talk about it, but they didn't mention anything serious.
But when Wayne was full, he took a deep breath and cut to the chase.
"Chris, come on, let's face it together."
Well, this is a conversation that may be enough to shape the landscape of the Union.
Pao'er also put down her wine glass, and her expression became serious.
"Okay, then I'll start with it, I didn't give up the Wayne clause option. I don't care if you leave or stay, you have to sign a 30% salary cap.
This is your first top salary, and if you lower your value, then you will only become less and less worthy. ”
Seeing that the talks were deadlocked, Wayne was the first to speak.
Again, Wayne doesn't want to suck his brother's blood, this is what he thought about when Wayne's clause first came out, and he can't force Paul to take a pay cut to stay on the team no matter what.
Truth be told, it's easy to solve the contract extension issue, just get Paul to give up 30% of his salary cap.
In this way, the space will not be locked, there is still room for manipulation, and the lineup can be preserved to the greatest extent, and they are likely to win the championship again.
But to do that would be too selfish, to achieve oneself at the expense of others.
Because no matter how many more championships he wins, Paul is by Wayne's side, and he can only be Pippen, and he can only be a supporting role.
The Thunder in the original history was because Durant triggered the Rose clause, which led to Wei Shao and 18K having to reduce their salaries to ensure the integrity of the lineup.
Durant is right here, if you can sign a big contract, of course you have to sign it, and everyone is not here to engage in charity.
Wayne just felt that Wei Shao and Ibaka were not very worthwhile, and although Wei Shao took a salary cut, he still had a conflict with Durant.
Ibaka, needless to say, is a salary cut and a closure, and in the end, it is not that he will be sold if he is sold.
Wayne didn't want Paul to go down the same path again.
knew that the salary cut was not worth it, and pushed him into the fire pit, which is called eating human blood steamed buns.
Brothers are not brothers when they win the championship, and when they win the championship, they only think about squeezing each other.
Therefore, Wayne firmly disagreed with Paul's salary cut.
Although I hated him very much when I was in college before, to be honest, after getting along in the past few years, Wayne and Pao'er have already been heart-to-heart.
And, with what Wayne knows about Paul, it's very cruel for you to ask him to give up his salary and stay by his side for the rest of his life as a second child.
Pao Luo is his peers, but he is also himself, and his competitive spirit is not much different from those of the top superstars.
With such a demanding and motivated person, it is not realistic for you to expect him to stay at the last step and not take charge of himself.
In the original history, it was because Paul didn't have a ring, so he was willing to sacrifice after the Hornets and was willing to team up with Kobe, even though he knew that the Lakers could only be Kobe's team.
The worst part is that this is not done yet......
But now, Paul has won the title twice, and he's still so young.
If you want to say that he has no ambition, it is impossible, people's desires are inflated step by step.
Just like Wayne, he is now full of thoughts about winning the championship once in a row, and winning the championship the next year is no longer satisfying him.
What about after the championship? Wayne is expected to target Jordan and try to surpass it.
Wayne himself had desires, and Paul certainly had desires.
Therefore, Wayne did not expect Paul to stay by his side for the rest of his life.
When a child's wings are stiff, he always has to fly alone......
Why do you suddenly feel like an old father......
Paul nodded, to be honest, he has been struggling very much because he is reluctant to this team, Wayne, and Gasol.
He's been very happy with this team.
If there is something to do together, to carry things together, to win the game together, and to learn two sentences of Chinese with the Great Sage if there is nothing to do.
These are all good and wonderful.
But......
That's not all there is to professional basketball!
At least not all Paul wanted.
He wasn't playing happy basketball, and he had a deep desire to be as strong as Wayne.
When he got off the plane, he also wished he could be the protagonist once.
He also wants to get from Bill. Russell took the FMVP trophy in his hand.
He also hopes to touch his little brother's head when the team is desperate, and tell his little brother like Wei Ge told him handsomely: "Don't panic, there is Lao Tzu." ”
The most difficult part of this matter is whether Pao'er can reach his little brother's head......
Ahem...... He hopes that when he retires, he will be a good partner, a good brother, and a good partner to Wayne...... One of the greatest point guards in NBA history!
If he wants to reach his goal, he has to take charge and prove himself.
Life in Portland is satiating, but higher goals are equally desirable.
No amount of championships by Wayne's side will not be able to achieve his goal.
Patterson had tried to persuade Gun'er to abandon Wayne's terms, but when Wayne said that, he playfully didn't mention it.
Renewing Paul's contract with a 30% cap salary is very risky.
If you do it well, it will be a dynasty and a legend.
If it doesn't work, it's a chicken feather, and the team completely locks the channel for reinforcement and pays a high luxury tax.
If you really want to say it, Paul won't know how to get this contract out at that time.
To put it bluntly, Patterson can accept defeat, but he can't accept that he doesn't even have a way out after defeat.
Don't think it's safe to leave Paul behind, Patterson's biggest concern is that things with the OK combination will reappear at the Trail Blazers.
It's all come this far, who wouldn't want to go one step further?
Dynasty, three consecutive championships, dominating the league, that's what the Trail Blazers want next.
Although it has been two championships in three years, the Trailblazers have only taken the first step from three consecutive championships, and there is still a long way to go.
So, any instability could ruin all of this.
For the paranoid Paorot, he is actually very similar to Kobe.
If you really break up in the future, won't you embarrass each other? At that time, the damage to the team will also be very great.
Delay for a few more years, consume Wayne's prime, and return the dynasty to a fart.
Paul had been hesitant on this matter, but Patterson already had the answer.
His hesitation shows that he has an idea in his heart.
If he had been willing to be an assistant by Wayne's side, he would have made a contract extension long ago.
After thinking for a while, all three of them glanced at each other.
Then, all opened their hearts.
Some things have to be faced after all.
Now, it's time!
After a few hours of conversation, the three agreed.
To sum up, this summer is one goal - maximize profits!
For everyone, try to make the most of it.
A wonderful and colorful summer, just in the conversation of three men, officially began!
