Have you ever wondered why Jin didn't privately inform us in advance of his decision to make a comeback, but suddenly announced it publicly?"

"Greg, what the hell are you trying to say?" Buford also seemed to have something in mind at this time, but he didn't want to believe it.

"Obviously, Jin doesn't plan to return to the Spurs right away, in other words, he's coming back as a complete free agent, and his next home is likely to be any team in the league, and even if we make it to the table one day, we don't have any advantage."

"Is this really the case? Old man, Jin has grown up in Spurs step by step, and we all know in our hearts that Jin belongs to the team, after all, he has been successful here before, so it makes sense."

"Reasonable? As the general manager of the team, you should know very well in your heart that in this league full of commercial interests, reasonableness can be nothing."

"What then? Greg, we can't just lose Jin's opportunity so easily, Jin was cultivated by you, you should know how good he is" Buford was obviously a little anxious at this time.

"Of course I know that this kid is excellent, but, old man, now I want to say that maybe we don't have much chance to welcome Jin back, so we can only watch Jin join other teams" Popovich also closed his eyes weakly at this time.

"First of all, the salary space of the team simply can't support us to sign Jin, you know that even if Jin is willing to accept a part of the salary cut, the team behind him will definitely not accept it, and secondly, do you remember? I told you a long time ago, for Jin, I always have a concern, that is, he is different from Kowai, even different from Kobe Bryant, compared to these two, Jin is more paranoid, he will not be satisfied with the status quo, in other words, he would rather fight alone in the world than just work hard for the championship, to put it simply, many times, he cares more about constantly pushing the limits than winning the championship" Popovich seems to be constantly digging something in his mind.

"Greg, even so, we still have to prepare, I don't want to regret it in the future......"

………

Los Angeles, the general manager office of the Lakers' training center, the team's general manager Pelinka and the president of operations Magic Johnson also had a heated discussion, and the focus of their discussion was also Jin Feng.

"Johnson, obviously, from the perspective of the salary structure, we are fully capable of signing the Chinese Jin, in addition, the bustling Los Angeles is also our advantage, but the problem we are facing now is also obvious, that is, the current lineup, Paul (George) is naturally the leader of the team at this stage, but we all know Jin's ability, is he willing to accept such an arrangement?"

"So, what do you think we should do to win Jin's joining?"

…………

In Houston, Rockets general manager Morey drove to the home of team owner Tillman Fertitta early in the morning.

"So, Mr. boss, I mean this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to introduce Chinese Jin, you should know how much profit Yao Ming brought to Mr. Alexander at the beginning, and if nothing else, the current Jin is enough to be on an equal footing with Yao Ming, not to mention that he is not yet 25 years old"

"So, if it were you, what would you be going to do? As far as I know, we have two top players now and it's hard for us to have room to manoeuvre."

"Mr. Boss, I think the role of Jin in the team will obviously be more effective than Chris (Paul) ......"

Miami......

………

Jin Feng would not have thought of how much impact his comeback news would have on the NBA league, and at this time, he had already devoted himself to training.

That's right, it's training, and now that he's decided to come back, he's going to get back in the ring in the best possible condition, and that's the only thing he wants for the rest of his life.

To that end, he told Giming that he would not discuss it with anyone from any team until the finals of the season were over.

………

NBA, a few days later, the 2018~2019 season playoffs will be in full swing, and a total of 16 teams in the East and West that will advance to the playoffs will start a bloody battle for the final O'Brien Cup.

Before the playoffs are in full swing, the NBA official also announced the latest team championship power rankings.

At the top of the list is the Western team, which is also the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, although this season lost Jin Feng, the newly formed "KDJ" combination has also changed back to the "double German" combination, but as long as Popovich is there, as long as the Spurs' team system is still there, they are still the strongest team in the league.

In second place is still the Western team, not the Golden State Warriors, who led the league trend in previous seasons, nor the Houston Rockets, who were fierce in the regular season, but the "wolf pack" Minnesota Timberwolves whose talent is gradually being realized.

In third place is the Boston Celtics, a traditional powerhouse from Eastern Conference teams.

………

In fact, in the season of Jin Feng's retirement, the situation in the league has changed dramatically.

For example, the Golden State Warriors, the league hegemon in previous seasons, were blocked out of the Finals by the Spurs for two consecutive seasons, and this luxury space battleship finally collapsed in the past summer, Kevin Durant staged decision two, decided to travel east, and became the new king of the Brooklyn Nets, and the "big mouth" Drummond also left the Warriors and joined the Indiana Pacers, and the luxury Big Four finally left only the "Splash Brothers" Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

Another example is the Ohlahoma City Thunder, Russell Westbrook, Carmelon Anthony, and Paul George also went their separate ways after working together for one season, Paul George joined the Los Angeles Lakers, and Anthony returned to the rising Denver Nuggets, leaving Westbrook alone.

The Houston Rockets continued to retain the "light bulb" combination, however, the team's head coach D'Antoni was fired in the offseason last season.........

LeBron James, the "No. 1 man in the league," signed a five-year contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the offseason, and it is clear that the emperor intends to end up with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Overall, the general trend of the league tends to be anti-ancient, and the atmosphere of group basketball is slowing down.

The era of "talented people from all generations, each leading the way for hundreds of years" seems to be becoming clearer and clearer, and the new generation represented by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers, and Philadelphia 76ers has risen.
