Chapter 824: Erect a Bronze Statue!
There was a burst of exclamation at the scene, Xie Chen had never played a game for the Kings, but the Kings decided to retire Xie Chen's jersey!
In order to get the treatment of a retired jersey, even if you are a member of this team, you have to achieve a certain level of achievement to enjoy this treatment, and it is not just a matter of just one person being able to hang your jersey number in the air above the stadium and never be used by others.

Generally speaking, in some small and medium-sized teams, as long as they have a high status and relatively large influence in the history of the team, it is not too difficult to retire the jersey, but in the team in big cities, the conditions are relatively harsh, and the length of time in the team and what results have been led by the team are very important.
Of course, you also have to have a good relationship with the team management, Scott Pippen, who won 6 championship rings for the team, had a rough fight with the team owner at the time, Pippen wanted the Bulls to retire his No. 33 jersey, but it was refused, and it was not until 2003, when Pippen's teammate John Paxson took over the role of Bulls general manager, that Pippen's retirement of the jersey took a turn, and a year later, his jersey was successfully retired.
If you don't have the level to be outstanding, if you want the team to retire your jersey, then you have to pay the price of death!
The Hornets retired Fils' No. 13 jersey because he died tragically in a car accident, and the Nets hung up Petrovic's No. 3 for the same reason.
How respectful can a player who has never played a game for this team have to have his jersey retired?
Of course, Xie Chen is not the first to do this kind of thing. The basketball god Michael Jordan once asked opponents to retire his jersey, that is, the Miami Heat, and Pat Riley retired his jersey at the Heat Arena in recognition of Michael Jordan's greatness and everything he did in basketball, not only for the NBA, but for fans all over the world.
Jordan himself was flattered, saying that it was probably the best gift he had ever received in his life.
Similarly, Xie Chen is in this mood now.
"The Kings are willing to retire my jersey?" Xie Chen was excited, and at the same time, Katie was also shocked in her heart, while she was happy for Xie Chen, she was also a little jealous, Ajiali's gift was too big.
"Boss, I really envy you, Derrick Rose has been playing in the Chicago Bulls for so long, and he was an MVP, and he didn't get this kind of treatment, you didn't play for the Kings in a game, and they were willing to retire your jersey!" Ingram was envious and congratulated Xie Chen with the rest of his teammates.
Retiring jerseys is undoubtedly the best gift for any player, Rose once became the MVP, bringing the Chicago Bulls to play the first record in the regular season, and played in the Bulls for so many years, but after Rose joined the New York Knicks, only 117 days later, the Bulls generously gave away the Bulls' No. 1 jersey.
Normally, if a player reaches the point where they retire their jerseys in the team's history, the team will seal that number until he retires, even if he is gone.
For example, Garnett left the Timberwolves to go to the Celtics, and the No. 21 was sealed, for example, James left the Cavaliers to go to the Miami Heat, and no one dared to move the Cavaliers' No. 23 jersey! For example, Paul Pierce, who has been adrift outside for several years, the Celtics' No. 34 jersey calmly looks like it has been retired.
In fact, Xie Chen also faced this situation after leaving the Miami Heat, and Pat Riley also quickly let a rookie wear the No. 0 jersey, but within a season, he forced the rookie to change his number, because at that time Riley thought he was a god operator, and thought that Xie Chen would be made like Rose by his own style of play, but he didn't expect him to be wrong, since Xie Chen may become a character like Jordan, Riley even retired Jordan's jersey, what reason is there not to retire Xie Chen, who played for a year with the Heat and led the team to win the championship?
The Heat will retire Xie Chen's jersey, the New York Knicks will also retire Xie Chen's jersey, and after the Lakers win the championship, the Lakers will also retire Xie Chen's jersey, plus the Kings, there are already four teams in the league who have retired Xie Chen's jersey!
Prior to this, the most jerseys were retired by different teams was Chamberlain, whose jerseys were retired by the Warriors, Lakers and 76ers.
Xie Chen will have a chance to surpass Chamberlain!
Luke Walton was excited, he was very happy for Xie Chen, stepped forward and hugged Xie Chen tightly and said: "You will be the player who has been retired by the most teams in NBA history, you are so great!" I am honored to be your coach! β
Ci Shiping was also so jealous: "It's so important to have a good relationship with the team owner's daughter!" If I could play the NBA all over again, I'd spend more time chasing the daughters of these owners, and maybe I'd be able to enjoy the glory of retiring. β
When Ci Shiping was still called Ron Artest, he had played for the Kings for two years, and he couldn't get such treatment, and he could only blame the Indian boss for showing up too late, he didn't wait.
This can be regarded as a particularly big gift from Ajiali to Xie Chen, the most valuable gift among all the away teams, however, this is not the biggest gift from Ajiali to Xie Chen.
"In addition to that, we have also decided that once Xie completes the feat of winning three consecutive championships, we will erect a bronze statue of Xie in front of the new arena!" Agalie is giving away a second gift again!
"What? For Xie Erect a bronze statue? There is still a precedent for retiring jerseys for players who are not on this team, but erecting a bronze statue for an outsider has never happened before! β
"The Kings simply worship Xie like a god! This respect is something that no one has ever had, not even Michael Jordan! Could it be that in their hearts, Xie's achievements and influence have surpassed that of Michael Jordan? β
"Maybe three consecutive championships can't compare to Michael Jordan's six championships, but to win championships in different teams, and it's more difficult than one time, and there are no good helpers around, and there are so many records, Xie is really great."
The Lakers bench is crazy, everyone is like Christmas, and everyone is very happy for Xie Chen.
Xie Chen was both excited and a little incredulous, erecting a bronze statue, this is really a treatment that only superstars can have, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Chamberlain, Olajuwon...... Only a star of this caliber can be eligible to erect a statue.
And the three teams that Xie Chen once played for, the Heat, the Knicks, and the Lakers, have not yet decided whether to erect a statue for Xie Chen, and the Kings announced in advance that they would do so, does Ajiali really love Xie Chen so much that he goes crazy? Was it her decision alone?
In Xie Chen's opinion, any decision made by Ajiali must have been agreed by her father and the team's top management, and Ajiali may have other intentions in doing so.
"The purpose of her erecting a bronze statue for me is to let me consider the Kings after I retire, once I come back, but I didn't expect Ajiali to still not give up having me......" Xie Chen could see Ajiali's intentions.
In Agali's opinion, Xie Chen is so young, once he retires, he will definitely imitate Michael Jordan to make a comeback, and Xie Chen likes to win championships in different teams to prove himself, so the Kings definitely have a chance, if they set up a bronze statue for Xie Chen in advance, so that Xie Chen feels that he is a part of this team, and when the comeback comes, Xie Chen will definitely give priority to the Kings.
Speaking of which, Ajiali has lobbied Xie Chen to come to the king since he was in the heat, and this insistence moved Xie Chen very much.
With such a husband who "attracts bees and butterflies", Katie is a little nerve-wracking, Ajiali's gift is too big, Katie can't compare with her, she can only work more hard in bed.
And if Akali knew that the gift she gave would prompt Katie to treat her crush like this, Agalie might have broken down......
In the last game of the farewell tour of the regular season, Xie Chen received the two most precious gifts, after getting the promise of these two gifts, Xie Chen's whole person was full of energy, he was so excited that he was uncomfortable not running, as soon as he started, Xie Chen immediately entered the best state, he did not want to abuse the king's players, but to give the best performance to the audience, in order to repay the king's fans.
"Oh my God, I finally got a 720-degree spin dunk! It's so shocking, I can only rotate 540 degrees every time I imitate, and his bounce and stay in the air are amazing! β
βfadeawayοΌ It's Jordan possessed! β
"Big windmill left-handed layup! He's so almighty! β
"Shoot from behind, hahaha, you can score a ball like this!"
"Drunk driving drift layup! I'm going to call the police! β
"What a speed! Jump from the free throw line! It's a track and field athlete playing basketball! β
ββ¦β¦β
Xie Chen tried his best to show his ability, just to make it enjoyable for everyone to watch, but there was also another reason, because the gift given by Ajiali was too valuable, Xie Chen guessed that there must be many netizens questioning Xie Chen's inability to get these at the moment, so he wanted to show his all-round and invincible as much as possible, and let those people know that his ability was worthy of any respect.
"Thanks, what did you want to do just now?" Luke Wharton suddenly called a timeout, and asked Xie Chen, who was playing high.
Xie Chen looked at Wharton's meaningful eyes before realizing that he was almost exposing Michael Jordan's layup ability just now!
"Don't kill the basket like this, be careful of getting hurt." Luke Wharton reminded that Xie Chen's layup ability must be saved for the playoffs.
Xie Chen also smiled: "Okay, the fight is too high, and I can't control it all the time." β
Soon, Xie Chen's score reached 30 points, opening the legendary plot.
The crowd in the entire stadium changed instantly, but Ajiali in the VIP seat was still sitting in that position, but the clothes she wore were different, and the shoes she wore were different, Ajiali was wearing Xie Chen's generation of sneakers, Xie Chen remembered this scene.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should have been the day I visited the King's Arena for the first time when I was with the Heat." Xie Chen knew that the system would always pick some special days, and it was not surprising that Ajiali gave Xie Chen such a valuable gift today, and the system arranged the legendary plot on the day the two met.
Xie Chen began to recall the scene at that time, that day in 2014, after the game, Ajiali personally went to the Heat locker room to invite Xie Chen, but Xie Chen refused on the grounds that he wanted to train, who expected that Ajiali said that she was willing to train with Xie Chen, but Xie Chen really trained with Ajiali in her villa and trained until more than two o'clock in the morning.
"At that time, I was supposed to be improving the integration of Chris Paul's stealing ability." Xie Chen remembered what happened that night, and he also felt funny, Ajiali was so stupid and cute, she really practiced with Xie Chen until the early hours of the morning, and in the end, Ajiali couldn't even walk, or Xie Chen carried Ajiali to the bed.
A lonely man and a widow are both single, Ajiali fantasized about what would happen, but Xie Chen didn't take the opportunity to do anything to Ajiali, and Ajiali was very sad.
Thinking of this, Xie Chen is also very guilty of Ajiali, he hopes to do something for Ajiali, in the real world competition, he can't just dedicate an exhibition match for Ajiali, but in the legendary plot, he can only play one game for Ajiali, and Xie Chen will do whatever Ajiali wants to see.
Xie Chen walked up to Ajiali and asked, "Do you know me?" β
"Of course, you're Chris Shet! You are my idol! "Ajiali knew Xie Chen at this time, but she didn't think about why Xie Chen wore Laker clothes.
"Then can I, an idol, hug this beautiful fan?" Xie Chen smiled.
Ajiali was simply ecstatic, and before Xie Chen came over, she took the initiative to throw herself into Xie Chen's arms.
Xie Chen is not completely unfamiliar with Ajiali's body, because the second time the two met, that is, the time when the king went to the Heat as a guest, Xie Chen was forcibly kissed by Ajiali, and for a full six minutes, Xie Chen had to admit that he did it, and he used some skills on it......
Xie Chen looked at Ajiali and said, "In this game, I will only play for you, what kind of performance you want to see me, I will give you what kind of performance!" β
"I want to see you dunk, okay? Do you have to get the All-Star Game? Agalie looked longing.
Xie Chen is now the first person to dunk in the NBA, but in the first season, when he had not copied Zach LaVine's dunk, he had never contributed a dunk, and told everyone that he would only show his dunk ability during the All-Star Game, which made many people wait for a long time, and Ajiali was one of the people who suffered a lot back then.
"Okay, first quarter, I'll let you see enough!"
Facing the Kings in the 14-15 season, Xie Chen was not polite at all, once he completed the steal and fast attack, it was the time to dedicate the performance.
In the second quarter, Xie Chen met Ajiali's request again, and he was shooting three points wildly throughout the quarter, especially the ultra-long three-pointers, which made Ajiali scream incredibly again and again.
In the third quarter, Xie Chen had already defeated the king, but until the fourth quarter, Xie Chen was still on the court, just to give Ajiali a wonderful performance.
It's a way to be thankful. (To be continued.) )
