Chapter 575: A Good Man Has Ambitions in All Directions

The Clippers' championship celebration lasted all night in Los Angeles.

On the night of the championship, the Clippers left Miami by plane and returned to Los Angeles with the O'Brien Cup.

At Los Angeles International Airport, hundreds of fans arrived in the parking lot and stayed up all night waiting for the new champion.

When Li Liang came out of the cabin with the Finals MVP trophy in his hand, the cheers of the fans reached their peak.

And the O'Brien Cup was held by Paul, and Paul clung to the trophy and refused to let go - on the way back to Los Angeles, Paul kept holding the trophy, just like the Gollum who guarded the Lord of the Rings in "The Lord of the Rings", and happened to be a short man.

It turns out that the pinnacle of basketball career is this feeling, and it turns out that championship is like this.

The night breeze blew on everyone's faces, and they all felt extremely comfortable and refreshing.

With the exception of one person, Clippers owner Ballmer.

Ballmer had a smile on his face, but it was clearly not so happy, with a hint of reluctance.

Of course, no one will notice that as the owner of the Clippers and a die-hard fan, Ballmer has been simply crazy during the playoffs.

He followed the clippers step by step, and at the moment of reaching the top, he almost reached the immortal.

However, Li Liang's words in the locker room poured him a basin of cold water on his head.

Until now, Ballmer has found it incredible, just as this championship is incredible.

The Clippers players got off the plane, got on the team bus, and they were ready to go straight to Staples Center.

Although it was already early in the morning, there were more and more Clippers fans gathered at the Stamp Center.

Everyone can't wait, can't wait to celebrate, this is the moment when the Clippers turn around, the pinnacle of the Clippers' history.

They have waited too long for this peak moment, they have been suppressed for too long, so how can they wait?

Clippers fans at Staples Center, Lakers fans partly disguised as Clippers fans, had a binge after the Clippers arrived.

After tonight's trophy showcase, there will be a city-wide championship parade in the future.

Ballmer was ready to plan the biggest championship parade in history, more than any of the Lakers' championship parades.

The Clippers marched into the Staples arena with the O'Brien Cup in hand, surrounded by security, and the lights went out and then all came back on.

Li Liang stood on a high platform in the center of the court, holding the O'Brien Cup in one hand and the FMVP trophy in the other, and this is the second year he has won both honors.

In this finals, Li Liang averaged 24.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

In terms of data, it was still rounded by LeBron James, but James's teammates were really not strong, and they lost every game without a chance.

Li Liang also became the second player in NBA history after Abdul-Jabbar to win the FMVP on a different team.

It took Abdul-Jabbar 14 years to achieve this achievement, while Li Liang only took two years.

There is no doubt that in just two years, Li Liang has made history and ranked among the superstars, and the speed of time is eye-popping.

But only Li Liang knows that his potential is far from being fully exploited.

After the carnival was over, Ballmer found Li Liang alone.

"Hey, Bruce, how are you feeling tonight, aren't the fans in Los Angeles great?"

"yes, you're great Steve, too."

"Oh, don't say that, it's going to be a misunderstanding."

"No, I'm serious, you're an amazing owner, you won a championship the first season you bought the team, you're just like Jerry Buss, and I think the Clippers will be the same as the Lakers."

Jerry Buss bought the Los Angeles Lakers in 1979 and won the championship in the 1979-1980 season that season, and then started the Lakers' brilliant 80s.

Ballmer said, "Oh, yes, that's what I thought, too. But there is one premise, the Lakers can't afford to lose their magic! ”

Li Liang looked at Ballmer and felt a little guilty in his heart, but he still said: "I know, but you still have Chris, and I'm not a magician, so you can treat me as Norm Nixon." ”

"You're not Nixon! How could you be Nixon! You'll be the greatest player in the NBA! Ballmer was excited.

There was no way for him not to be excited, because just when the Clippers easily won the championship with 70 wins, and they were about to start an era that belonged to the Clippers, Li Liang actually proposed that he was leaving?!

Although Ballmer was mentally prepared for this, he still did not expect that Li Liang would be so "ruthless" that he proposed to "break up" on the night of winning the championship. ”

What a scumbag, but Ballmer is really reluctant.

Li Liang is only 23 years old, the contract is only 5 million, the current lineup of the Clippers, there is a high probability that they can win the championship next season, doesn't Li Liang want to win the championship in a row?

But Li Liang's answer made Ballmer desperate, "I want to win a championship, I've won a championship." ”

That's right, they have won consecutive championships and established a small Los Angeles-Li Liang dynasty by themselves.

This kind of team change and consecutive championships is unique in the history of the NBA, and there may be, but it must be the first case like Li Liang who won the championship as a core and won FMVP.

Therefore, Li Liang's idea has been very clear, he wants to go to the third team, continue his championship road, and complete his "personal three consecutive championships!" ”

Li Liang looked at the excited Ballmer and said, "I'm sorry Steve, I've done what I can, I have my ideas, and what I want to do is not just great." ”

Ballmer had calmed down, he knew that he couldn't change Li Liang's mind, this guy was so unique, absolutely unique, unimaginable.

He's doing something that even Michael Jordan can't do.

"Okay, okay I'll promise you, where do you want me to trade you?"

"No, it's not a deal, I want you to buy me out and let me choose freely."

Buyout? God, the Clippers buy out their double MVP?

However, Li Liang's contract is only five million, and the Clippers can't spend a few dollars to buy out.

It's just that this buyout will become the most famous buyout in NBA history, and it will not cause an official investigation, or even change the rules.

But that's later, and Li Liang can't care about it.

After communicating with Ballmer, Li Liang promised him that he would not disclose the news that he was leaving until the end of the championship celebration.

At the same time, Ballmer also promised to complete the buyout, and hoped that Li Liang would return to the Clippers in the future.

Li Liang thought to himself, if Lao Tzu wants to go back to the lake in the future, I haven't finished my task yet!

As for the Clippers...... Once the task of a book is completed, there is no need to come back.

……

It's 4 a.m. back home, and it's time for Bryant to get up.

Zhu Shu drove the car to the yard, Li Liang drank a lot of wine, he was very excited, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Get out of the car?"

"No, don't get out of the car, sit in the car with me."

Li Liang said, with a little drunkenness.

Zhu Shu turned off the car, and the lights on the dashboard were still on.

Zhu Shu went to the scene to watch Li Liang's game and witnessed him reach the top again.

In fact, until now, she has become a qualified agent, and Zhu Shu still doesn't know what is fun about basketball - it is better to play games.

But Zhu Shu can see the joy from Li Liang and the joy of success.

It's something that makes her happy.

Li Liang took Zhu Shu's hand and said, "I may, I'm going to leave Los Angeles." ”

"yes, I know."

"Huh? How do you know? ”

"A good man has ambitions in all directions."

"Haha, where do you want me to go?"

"I don't know, you can go wherever you want."

Li Liang turned down the seat, opened the skylight, and looked at the sky of Los Angeles.

At four o'clock in the morning, it was not yet dawn, but there were no stars in sight.

It's a big city, and there are no stars at night.

"I want to go somewhere where I can see the stars at night."

"Okay, then we'll go to the countryside."

"Well, yes, go to the countryside."
