After the game with the Cavaliers, Chen Jiyuan and James had a meal together.

At the dinner table, Chen Jiyuan still raised his own questions.

"LeBron, do you think this year's Cavaliers will make it to the Finals?"

The smile on James's face gradually disappeared, and after a while, James said in a slightly small voice: "If you are really honest, it is safe to enter the Eastern Conference Finals, but what I'm worried about now is the Celtics, the bastards raised by the bitches in Boston, they are indeed too strong." While I don't think the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to be able to fight back at all, I have to admit that they are a formidable opponent and it will be difficult to win against them. ”

After these words, Chen Jiyuan knew it, and it could be seen that James was also very jealous of the Celts, which means that the emperor thought he was invincible before his head was hot. I haven't lost my cool yet.

In fact, even if the Knicks face the Celtics, the system of the seven-game series makes Chen Jiyuan completely uncertain of victory. It can only be said that the power of the Celtic triumvirate is indeed an amount that should not be underestimated. The fact that the group won the coveted championship in its first year of success is enough to see how well this combination is compatible. And now after more than a year of running-in, the Celtics have become more powerful, it can be said that whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers, or the Orlando Magic or the New York Knicks, if these three Eastern first-tier teams want to enter the Finals, then the Celtics are definitely a hurdle that must be overcome.

Both Chen Jiyuan and James are clear about this truth, but this topic is only answered when the two of them are alone, if any one is here, then neither Chen Jiyuan nor James will definitely not show weakness, because showing weakness means that the game is over. In that case, it's really over.

Chen Jiyuan took a bite of the steak, chewed it vigorously and swallowed it, and then asked very seriously: "LeBron, do you want to come to New York to play?" ”

This is the digging of Chiguoguo. If Gilbert knew what Chen Jiyuan had done, then Gilbert would definitely fight with Chen Jiyuan.

This question is indeed a bit strict, and James had to lower his head and ponder slowly, because this is related to a lot of things, not that decisions can be made so quickly, Chen Jiyuan obviously knows this, so the reason why Chen Jiyuan is asking like this now is to hope that James can think about it carefully. Because James had a player option in 2010, he could choose to leave Cleveland at this time and find his dream again. And New York is an absolute good choice for James to go next in all aspects, because New York not only has the largest basketball abnormality in the United States, but also as a big city, the basketball atmosphere is very good, and if James comes to the Knicks, then, Chen Jiyuan is confident that he can help the Knicks build a dynasty that exceeds three consecutive wins. James is still improving, and James will get stronger and stronger.

However, it is precisely because the relationship between James and Chen Jiyuan is very good, so James knows very well why Chen Jiyuan, who left Cleveland, will invite James to form a team again. It's not because New York is a big city that Chen Jiyuan goes, it's because New York is a team that can make Chen Jiyuan a leader and Chen Jiyuan the boss of the team, so Chen Jiyuan will go. And now New York is Chen Jiyuan's territory, this is something that everyone on the earth knows, if Chen Jiyuan really wants to team up with James, and at the same time let James be the boss, then Chen Jiyuan will definitely point this out in his own words, and since Chen Jiyuan didn't say so now, then it may mean two things, one is that we are the core together, but this is unlikely, a team must have a leader, a boss, so that the team can run successfully. Then, if Chen Jiyuan invites James to New York now, there is only one possibility, that is, Chen Jiyuan hopes that James will be Chen Jiyuan's younger brother and a second-in-command. In such a situation, of course, James will not agree.

So after thinking clearly about the key to each matter, James still decisively rejected Chen Jiyuan's opinion. The main thing is that James is not a person who wants to be subordinate. After all, James is arguably one of the best basketball players in the league right now. How could James, nicknamed the emperor, be a little brother to others.

Although Chen Jiyuan knew that this would be the answer, he was still a little sad when he really didn't refuse. Because if James comes, Chen Jiyuan firmly believes that the Knicks will be able to successfully win a dynasty with more than three consecutive championships. Then, you will definitely be able to break the record.

It's also a pity, or a small record, that is, throughout the history of the NBA, there is only one team that can achieve more than three consecutive championships, and that is the Boston Celtics, whose record of eight consecutive championships is almost a miracle.

Originally, Jordan could have surpassed three consecutive championships, or even achieved eight consecutive championships, but Jordan retired halfway through to play baseball, which is really sad. Jordan, what are you talking about, are you playing baseball? No, it's good to stop playing your basketball. Why bother thinking about it now, because of the two-year hiatus in the middle, Jordan did not surpass the record of three consecutive championships. Not to mention eight consecutive championships. Although Jordan won two triple championships, no four consecutive championships is no four consecutive championships, and it is useless to say anything, which makes the Celtics continue to be the only person in NBA history to surpass three consecutive championships.

There is another team that almost surpassed three consecutive championships, and that was the Lakers' purple and gold heyday, that is, the Lakers in the three years between 2000 and 2002, when the Lakers had the peak of the big shark and the young frivolous but energetic Peter Pan.

Unfortunately, their three-game winning streak was lost to the Spurs in the fourth year, which was also the beginning of the Spurs' rise. After that, the Lakers, who originally planned to make a comeback, collected four superstars, and originally planned to summon the dragon, but unfortunately it didn't work, and the dragon still didn't come.

Therefore, this triple championship has always been a regret of the league, and surpassing the triple championship has long been a major goal of Chen Jiyuan. Because in his previous life, Chen Jiyuan had always felt very sorry for this matter, and now, Chen Jiyuan wants to create his own history, create his own record, surpass three consecutive championships, and then surpass eight consecutive championships. In the end, it surpassed the 10th consecutive championship and became the longest consecutive championship in NBA history.

Of course, the latter is just Chen Jiyuan's own obscenity, Chen Jiyuan knows very well that with the development of basketball, the overall strength of the current NBA players has gradually improved, and every opponent is strong enough, and a careless person may not be able to continue the consecutive championship. So it is very difficult to surpass three consecutive championships, let alone surpass eight consecutive championships, but this does not prevent Chen Jiyuan from taking this as a goal. If you can create a zào ten consecutive championships, then it will be fun.

James smiled and said, "Cleveland is my home, instead of going to New York, why don't you come to Cleveland." ”

Chen Jiyuan knew what James meant, in the 2007-08 season, Chen Jiyuan and James cooperated and successfully won the championship, it can be said that the two of them were very successful. Therefore, whether it is Chen Jiyuan or James, they actually want to continue to be teammates, but the actual situation does not allow such a thing to happen, because Chen Jiyuan and James will definitely not give up the position of the boss and the position of leader. It's not because of any privilege or anything, it's just a kind of inner pursuit. No star can be at his peak willing to rest assured that he is up with other stars, which is why many times the cooperation between some stars is so difficult, some teams have a very luxurious lineup, but there is no way to achieve the corresponding results, these are because of the compatibility and cooperation between stars and stars, so it can not play the effect of 1 + 1 = 2, or even 1 + 1 less than 2, and some cooperate better with each other, At the same time, it is also clearly assigned who is the boss of the team and who is the second leader of the team, then, the result between the two is 1+1 greater than 2.

As for the current Celtic triumvirate, they actually have irrevocable shortcomings, not a matter of strength. It's the inevitable shortcoming, that is, the age of the three people, it is true that Ray Allen and Garnett both came to the Celtics, and they publicized a concept in public, that is, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett are both here to help Pierce, both to assist Pierce, and Pierce will always be the master of Boston, which will never change. At the beginning, the Celtics, who had already determined the primary and secondary positions between the three people, at least solved the internal problems, and as for the Heat Big Three, the Heat Big Three did not succeed in winning the championship in the first year, there are naturally many reasons, the role players are not strong, the problem of ball arrangement between each other, James's sluggish state, Nowitzki's super explosion, Eric Spoelstra has not found a suitable tactic for the Heat and other reasons, but, among them, one thing we need to pay attention to is that The Big Three are fighting for themselves, and it is not that there is no cooperation with each other, but it is the kind of cooperation that all regards themselves as the boss, and in the second year, the Heat were able to go all the way and successfully won the coveted championship. That's because in the second season of the Hot Big Three, Wade found James and personally talked to James in detail, expressing his willingness to give up his position as the boss and let James become the owner of Miami. In the first season, when the Heat's promotional animation or something needed the Big Three to come forward, Wade was more in the middle, but in the second year, it was more James who stood in the middle. It's this small detail that can actually reflect the changes in the Heat. James became the boss of the Heat, the leader of the Heat, and that was why he was able to succeed the following year. Of course, this should be said to be one of the reasons, because in the second year, the signing of Battier can be said to be the main reason for the success.

Although the Celtics have solved the problem of the boss now, all three of them are already thirty, okay? Normally, the golden age of basketball players is about thirty, and the current Celtics are indeed strong, but what about a few years?

In order to get the Big Three, the Celtics can be said to have paid a lot of money, including draft picks for many years to come, and the consequence of this is that after the Big Three get older, then the Celtics Big Three will inevitably fall into a sinking period, because age is an irresistible factor. So while the Celtics are a strong contender for the championship right now, the decline in the coming years is already predictable. Anji's operation in the trading market the year before last was not unbright. But this operation of blinding other people's eyes is just a qiē of the future in exchange for temporary joy. The current Celtics are cool. But when the Big Three are all old, the Celtics at that time will face annihilation. In this world, poor baby Rondo is a victim of this catastrophe. However, the current Celtics are in the thriving season, and Rondo is also a very lucky guy to be able to become the right-hand man of the Celtics' Big Three as soon as he enters the league. So, those who come out to mix have to be returned, and Rondo used up his character in the early years. That's why I was a little unlucky in the later years.

However, regardless of the future, at least the current Celtics are definitely a horizontal fence in front of James and Chen Jiyuan, which is not so easy to cross.

Chen Jiyuan and James stopped talking about this topic after that, and began to talk about the calves, and then they went their own ways, each went back to their own homes, and each looked for their own mother.

After the game against the Cavaliers, Starkey's fame had reached a considerable height. And how to renew Starkey in the offseason has become a problem for the Knicks. However, this problem is what people in the outside world think, and the Knicks don't feel a headache at all about renewing Starkey, not because they already have a general intention to renew the contract, but because they don't plan to renew Starkey at all, so naturally they won't have a headache. Even, Latin deliberately had a little dispute with Starkey's agent over the total salary of the contract, all in preparation for trading Starkey in the offseason.

Regardless of this, in fact, Latin did not agree with what Chen Jiyuan said about trading Starki, and Latin hoped to keep this future star. If a team can have two players who average 20 points per game, then the team's offense is not a big problem. So Latin means that the top salary should also be kept by Starkey. But Chen Jiyuan resolutely disagreed, and in the end, Britney stood up and successfully "persuaded" Latin. Therefore, when the meeting later said that Starkey was going to be traded, although everyone opposed it, Chen Jiyuan, who had the support of Latin and Britney, still succeeded in finalizing this matter. Of course, Chen Jiyuan still left a small opening at the meeting, that is, to exchange for good players and useful people. Then you can trade the Starkey. If you come casually, a person will trade such a future star. So many people will hack Chen Jiyuan to death with kitchen knives.

So, who to exchange Starki for, Chen Jiyuan doesn't have a good idea for the time being, mainly in Chen Jiyuan's memory, there are no good players among this year's free agents or players who have been traded, and there are no players who are still good in the future, so they are not the players Chen Jiyuan wants. In the free market in 2010, there will be more big-name stars, and if you can exchange Starkey-based chips for a superstar at that time, then Chen Jiyuan will be satisfied. But what about 2009? There is no such superstar existence.

For this point, Chen Jiyuan also thought about it, and later he was thinking, if it doesn't work, let Starkey stay in the team for a year, in that case, in the third season, Starkey is a restricted free man, and the transaction value of Starkey at that time must be the largest. However, the problem is that Chen Jiyuan is already in his second season with the Knicks, and he once boasted that he won the championship in five seasons. Although Britney's statement on the board is to win the Eastern Conference championship in five years. But Chen Jiyuan didn't intend to ignore the he once bragged about. That's not Chen Jiyuan's character.

Therefore, it is still necessary to determine the Knicks' team as much as possible, so that they can succeed successfully, otherwise, if the Knicks waste time like this, then the Knicks will gradually become a hard-working pursuer on the way to the championship. The team of stable dìng needs to be determined sooner or later, and the team in Chen Jiyuan's heart actually has so many people. And these five people are definitely possible, so Chen Jiyuan will choose these five people, and at the same time, these five people are definitely the kind of players who cooperate with each other, or because of this, or because of that, these four people are definitely the kind of guys who can stop playing together in the Knicks' team and Chen Jiyuan's team. At least that's how Chen Jiyuan feels.

However, after coming to the Knicks, Chen Jiyuan realized that he imagined things too simple, trading was not so easy, and how to communicate with his teammates was not so simple.

However, in the difficulty, Chen Jiyuan must definitely succeed.
