Chapter 943: Labor
After four consecutive championships, Li Feng already has an unparalleled status in the basketball world, whether it is in the Knicks or the Pelicans, no matter what kind of team, no matter what the situation, he can lead the team to win the championship, even if it is now said that Li Feng is not worse than Jordan, Michael Jordan himself will not object.
Summer was supposed to be a time of rest, and Li Feng went to face the troubles of happiness.
NBA players, with high salaries, have a glorious status, Li Feng's level is even more so, everyone else has a lot of women, and Li Feng only has two, but he feels that both of them are a little unmanageable.
Natalie knew that Liu Qiyu was still alive, and the Jewish girl also acquiesced in the relationship between the two, after all, Li Feng's appearance was still "good", and too much oppression would push Li Feng into the arms of the opponent.
Li Feng had a big battle with Liu Qiyu in the office, and he went home after cleaning up all the traces, but he was still seen by Natalie, and a woman's directness is sometimes very sensitive.
So Li Feng had to work hard and pressed the tantrum Natalie on the bed.
Soon Li Feng made Natalie confused, Natalie's soft body was lying on the bed, Bing Lingyu's fingers were as soft as boneless, unbuttoning Li Feng's body, peach blossom eyes, misty eyes stared at Li Feng in front of him, such a veinous and affectionate posture, which made Li Feng's mood warm and heartbeat.
Natalie, whose face was red like a burning cloud, didn't seem to be in a hurry to "eat" Li Feng on the bed, but stopped removing Li Feng's clothes when Li Feng's upper clothes were stripped of his clothes, but extended Li Feng's hand to his chest, and let Li Feng's hot palm gently draw circles on Natalie's delicate breasts, bringing Natalie's heart to throb.
This kind of action touched Li Feng's uncalm inner mood, and Li Feng was excited and untied the ties on Natalie's delicate pajamas, which was not inferior to the complexion of the girl's delicate skin. not only has the unique charming atmosphere of mature Natalie, but also wears bewitching Natalie's hollow sexy underwear and black sensual lace panties, which are beautifully displayed in front of Li Feng's eyes, and the seductive ketone body that can make any Li Feng crazy and enthusiastic burned Li Feng's eyeballs.
Under the sixteen-colored lights, Natalie's delicate body was displayed horizontally, and Li Feng tasted Natalie's beautiful ketone body without concealment.
Bang. Under Li Feng's gaze, Natalie had a look of shame, shallow sweat particles hung on her forehead, and her jade-like palms kept touching Li Feng's chest, relieving the loneliness in her heart, and at the same time bringing Li Feng's heart dryness and heat, she let her heart continue to surge in the depths of her heart.
Natalie's body is so beautiful!
Li Feng, who was in a throbbing mood, had his fingers moving lightly and happily. At Natalie's lower abdomen, rubbing touch, with Natalie's unbearable, thin gasping sound. Li Feng's fingers kept moving down, until he went deep into Natalie's secret realm to explore the secluded place, and Natalie's delicate body trembled violently. "Ahh
At that moment, I felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning. Shyness, panic, and the nervousness of being at a loss, and the heartbeat pleasure of almost collapse are all concentrated in the body, and the uncontrollable rush is cathartic. The whole heart was suspended in mid-air, and the slightly cool breath flowed from the throat to the depths of the body and mind, moistening Natalie's dry spiritual field, making Natalie's delicate beauty suddenly amazing.
The peach blossom watermark, the pink carmine, spread out one by one on Natalie's delicate body, the beautiful Natalie ketone body, against the black silk erotic underwear, stacked a warm and moving scene, Natalie's writhing delicate body, like a jumping beauty snake, made Li Feng look fascinated.
It's so beautiful, so glamorous, so that people are amazed by Natalie's posture and the charm of her whole body.
The heat of the explosion was about to melt away the body, Natalie hugged Li Feng's body tightly, gently biting, pulling hard, the warm wine, flowing through the tip of Natalie's tongue, on Li Feng's body, little by little.
After a long time, with Li Feng's low roar, Li Feng finally vented on Natalie's body. The two people who were sweating were separated in tacit understanding and lay flat on the bed.
The pleasure on her body faded like a tide, and Natalie, who was tired, was half-snuggled and lay on Li Feng's chest. The steady and slow heartbeat made Natalie's heart flutter.
At this time, Natalie's state of mind was as comfortable as eating ginseng fruit, and her body was soft and boneless leaning on Li Feng's chest, and at that moment she really wanted to be by Li Feng's side for the rest of her life, so that Li Feng was petted, loved, and hurt, or under Li Feng's ravaged palm, she was struggling and floating, and her mood was constantly fluctuating.
β¦β¦
The Pelicans are still a lot short of players next season, and the first target of Plan B is Pau Gasol.
Liu Qiyu has already contacted the other party's American broker, and there will be no problems in general.
However, for the sake of insurance, Li Feng and Van Gundy flew to Spain in person and had an in-depth conversation with Pau Gasol.
Next season, Paul Millsap will be reimbursed for the whole season, and although Henson is full of potential, Van Gundy still feels that he needs a quality player to start, and Henson has two more years to train.
In this way, the most suitable for the Pelicans is Pau Gasol.
Pau Gasol is 34 years old, not young, but he is in good form, his style of play does not rely too much on his body, and after two years, at the age of 36, he can still be an experienced substitute and coach young players off the field.
Paying only 8M to take Pau Gasol is not a high price, and the Pelicans are not short of money, and they have not considered what the luxury tax is.
In 2001, six lonely years in Memphis, he carried the team on his own like Minnesota's Kevin Garnett.
He doesn't have O'Neill's destructive power, Duncan's overwhelming sense of coercion, and he doesn't have KG's passion, he is 2.13 meters tall, but only 227 pounds, and his slender body limits make him unable to overturn the river and the sea like those native American beasts. But he still has his own way.
He integrated faster than Nowitzki, Parker, Yao Ming, Manu and others. In his first season with the Grizzlies, Gasol quickly developed into the leader of the team, possessing the softest touch of any European player, mastering a variety of scoring techniques under the basket, and being able to do everything from back to mid-range to ball-handling penetration. But at the same time, he prefers hand-to-hand combat under the basket more than any European player, relying on his agile feet and excellent basketball IQ, he averaged 17.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.1 blocks per game in his rookie season, shooting 51.8% from the field. Become the undisputed Bear King and help the Grizzlies quickly rise to the west of the Golden Iron Horse. The team, which had only won more than 150 games in eight years, unexpectedly showed unprecedented energy and aggressiveness in the 0304 season, miraculously winning the highest 50 wins in a single season since the team was founded in 1995, and entered the playoffs for the first time as sixth in the Western Conference, becoming one of the league's powerhouses.
He's not the kind of guy who pushes with his back, he's not a jumping guy who flies away, his absolute speed isn't fast, his range can't cover the whole court like Dirk, he's not omnipotent. His physique and strength have always been his toughest wounds, and Pau Gasol's refined skills and top-tier basketball vision won't help him against the greatest talent of his era when he comes up against a true top-tier interior lineman. He couldn't crack Duncan's "big fundamentals." He was also powerless to resist the astonishing destructive power of O'Neill's "big diesel engine". In the 0304 playoffs, he met Tim Duncan, and in four games, Gasol was taken away 24.3 points and 10 rebounds by Duncan, and he only had 18.5 points and 5 rebounds.
Four playoff trips, none of which were successful, and the Grizzlies, a powerhouse, had a playoff record of 0-16 at the time. Undefeated, people called him "Gasoft". Pau Gasol is not a lone hero who can turn things around, and he is not the Batman of Memphis.
In desperation, Gasol unscrewed the doorknob. I walked through the cold and lonely Memphis, crossed the Mulholland Drive, and saw the bright lights of Hollywood.
In the '0708 season, the Lakers sent away the great Kwame Brown and a bunch of chicken bits and pieces. In exchange for Pau Gasol, Popovich, who is determined to defend his title, was surprised and furious when he filmed the case in the Holy City. He roared and scolded the Lakers for being shameless, exchanging a pile of coins for a hundred-dollar bill. This completely upsets the balance in the west.
However, business is business, and no matter how Popovich opposes, the dust on the Lakers has been brushed off, the new Purple and Gold dynasty is unstoppable, and the match made in heaven for Kobe and Gasol is imperceptibly formed. From then on, the "soft egg" is still a tough guy, only the opponent knows.
He is like a pianist and dancer with slender fingers, gorgeous dance steps, and brilliant dancers, and the world of Los Angeles is his best stage, where he can show his elegance and wisdom to the world. "Oh my God, it's the first time I've heard a player like opera." "Since Gasol arrived with the Lakers, Blake has been helping him find opportunities to go to the theater. In April, when he heard that the Els band was going to perform at the El Ray Theatre, he excitedly asked Gasol if he wanted to see it. Gasol, of course, was willing to go. Gasol has an extra-long pair of arms, and his fingers are as slender and beautiful as a beautiful woman, and it is a shame that these hands did not become a pianist. In fact, long before he embarked on a career in professional basketball, Gasol played the piano and played it for five years. Gasol always has a lot to say when it comes to music, "I've loved music since I was a kid, but when I really liked playing the piano, I had to stop, because music is a little smaller in my heart than basketball, and I have to pay more attention to basketball." β
Los Angeles is a city with a great inside tradition, George McCann, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, this is the kingdom of the dominant giants, and Gasol is the hope of the inside line of that era.
His teammate is called the one-of-a-kind Kobe Bryant. One is an inner pillar and a master of strategy, and the other is invincible in singles and is as competitive as madness. The different charms of ice and fire make the two smell the same. Beside the elegant and calm pianist, there is a lack of a heroic and iron-blooded drummer, his lazy and humble personality, just matched with Kobe's restless and paranoid feelings, can be called good medicine. Gasol shook off the soft egg hat of his playoff life, and Kobe Bryant got rid of the worst trough of those two years. It's a match made in heaven. Not only that, Gasol plays a pivotal role in the Zen master's "triangle offense" tactics, and can play singles and assist teammates, and can form a double tower with Bynum, or a triple tower with Odam, so that the Lakers can display their gorgeous and smooth offense in 0810. This qiΔ is all related to Gasol's superb basketball IQ and outstanding passing skills.
In those years, together they defeated Duncan, defeated Howard, and defeated the Green Shirts Big Three to achieve a second consecutive championship. However, wealth is just a dream, and the world is turned upside down in an instant, the Lakers are declining wildly at the speed of rise, Kobe Bryant is old, there is no successor, and the inside partners are injured or left one after another. Gasol was once again in a state of confusion. In the days of Kobe's injury, he was under D'Antoni's system, and he independently supported the crisis. However, fate must eventually come to an end, and it is just "even if the case is raised, it is difficult to settle in the end".
He's left a city with a lot of roots, he's got a great city of champions, he's left a superstar he's just recovering from injury, he's got another superstar on his sickbed.
Before announcing the decision, Gasol contacted Kobe Bryant to sue him for his choice. "It's difficult." Gasol sue sΓΉ journalist,
"We have a close friendship and have been through a lot together and I would definitely miss him. But our relationship goes beyond basketball. We'll always be friends. β
"It's hard to sue him, but he's very supportive and understanding. He said I had to do what was best for myself, do what I thought was right, and he would support me no matter what. That's what friends and brothers do. That's who we are. β
Gasol said. This is indeed not an easy thing to do, Gasol and Kobe Bryant have already formed a relationship of mutual affection and mutual dependence in the past 6 years, and if they want to leave this dry rut. You have to open a door again, break out of this barrier, find your own place, and seal all the true love in the past.
Gasol isn't a superstar at this stage, but he's tall, flexible, passable and plays team basketball, and it's fun to play with Li Feng, who is also happy to pass. When you come to the Pelicans, you will see the gentle Pau Gasol and the fiery Li Feng playing together, and you can imagine how two players with different personalities can play their jade arms and fingers, this is an equally great team, everyone will cut and run, which can push team basketball to the limit.
Whether it is the cold and dreamy Grizzly years or the prosperous and wealthy Los Angeles time, they are just different doors of fate, Gasol now twists the handle of the next door, the purple gold fades, he walks into the crimson pelican group, and he will join Li Feng and Corey to launch another attack on the championship.
The Pelicans are very sincere, the three-year contract is not short, and the annual salary is not low, after communicating with Li Feng and Van Gundy, the two sides finally reached a 4-year contract of 28 million, Pau Gasol took the initiative to reduce the salary, and the Pelicans also gave a 4-year long contract with confidence.
The news first came from Twitter, the Spanish tower Tong GuΓ² personal Twitter officially announced that his next stop is New Orleans.
Gasol writes,
"It wasn't easy, and after a lot of thought, I chose to play for the New Orleans Pelicans. Looking forward to a new chapter in my career! β
According to sources, the Pelicans want to bring in Gasol through a sign-and-trade deal, but according to an information obtained by ESPN, the Pelicans will not reach an agreement with the Lakers on a sign-and-trade deal for Gasol. The Rockets are rumored to have come close to becoming a third party in this potential deal.
Adrian Vonarowski, a well-known reporter for Yahoo Sports, revealed on Twitter that if he signs first and then trades, Gasol will get a multi-year contract with a starting salary of about $10 million a year; And if signed outright, Gasol will get a multi-year contract with a starting salary of about $6.5 million a year.
Gasol became a free agent this summer, and several teams have expressed interest in the Spanish Tower, including the Spurs, Pelicans, Thunder, Heat and Lakers. One day ago, a well-informed source revealed that Gasol rejected two contracts offered by the Lakers, two for a total value of $23 million and a three-year contract for a total value of $29 million. At the time, the newspaper Marca said that Gasol had decided to go to New Orleans. In the past 24 hours, Gasol and the Pelicans have negotiated the specifics of the contract and finally agreed.
Gasol has been playing in Los Angeles for more than six years and has helped the Lakers win two championships. Last season, the 34-year-old Gasol played 60 regular-season games for the Purple and Gold, averaging 17.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.5 blocks in 31.4 minutes per game. After Gasol announced his whereabouts, the Lakers' official Twitter wrote, "Your seven years in Los Angeles have been wonderful, thank you for what you've done. Paul. β
Gasol has played in the NBA for 12 years since entering the league in 2001, playing a total of 905 regular season games with the Grizzlies and Lakers, including 892 starts, averaging 18.3 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.6 blocks in 35.6 minutes per game.
The day after the Pelicans and Warriors traded for Corey, Pau Gasol's Twitter message was just one sentence, but the entire league went crazy.
Originally, everyone thought that the defending champion Pelicans would be finished next season, without Millsap and Rose, and Li Feng would be under more pressure than in the Knicks, but Liu Qiyu completed two perfect operations. It's only been a few days since the free agency market officially opened, and she's got two All-Star caliber players.
The Chicago media and fans, who have always thought that Pau Gasol will come to Chicago to form the strongest interior line with Okafor Howard, are undoubtedly disappointed, Pau Gasol actually joined the Pelicans, and Li Feng's sworn enemy Pelicans.
Phil Jackson also looked very disappointed after learning the news, they had just set up Boozer not long ago, and they were going to contact first, and it would not be too late to pursue Pau Gasol, who knew that the Pelicans were moving so fast.
In fact, the Pelicans got Gasol's agent. And then get Gasol himself, and there will be no other problems.
Unlike previous support for the Corey deal, the New York Sun is not optimistic about the signing, Kennedy Howard said in his column. This signing for the Pelicans was a big gamble. It is not known whether Pau Gasol can help the Pelicans after joining, but he has already brought a side effect to the team, that is, it has affected the Pelicans' next reinforcements. With only one middle class and a biennial plus an injury exception for the Pelicans, the Pelicans are unlikely to pursue big-name players anymore, giving up the opportunity to pursue players like LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.
The Washington Post, on the other hand, thinks Pau Gasol is definitely worth the money. In their opinion. Signing such a high-level player freely is a win in any case. Because according to Pau Gasol's table last season, the Pelicans don't have to worry about Millsap not being able to play, let alone the negative impact of Van Gundy's overuse of rookie John Henson.
Pau Gasol also spoke to the New York Times after the Pelicans announced his transfer, saying:
"Choosing to leave the Lakers was a tough decision. Because this is where I am proud and there are fans who support me. I have a deep affection for this place, and I think Lakers fans can understand me that I didn't leave because of money. The Lakers offered me a good contract, and other teams offered me a higher salary, but I ended up with the Pelicans.
The Pelicans were chosen because they have always been the club that has been the most sincere to me, and Yoo and Jeff have given me a picture of the future of the Pelicans. I think that's in line with what I want in the future. At the same time, I feel that it is a great honor to be part of such a team with big goals. I can't wait to play in New Orleans right now. There may be many people who wonder if I'm worth that much of my salary, but I'm going to prove to them that I believe my joining will bring more wins and more championships to the Pelicans."
Pelicans coach Jeff Van Gundy was also interviewed because of Pau Gasol's arrival:
"Paul is the player I wanted, not only does he have a big body and great technique, but he is also a guy who plays with his head, he is the player I like, so I came to Spain. I had a great time meeting him, and I'm sure we'll be happy with him in the days to come. At the same time, I also think that he forms a thick and ferocious golden inner line with Al and Paul.'"
Al Jefferson, who is one of the "golden insiders" in Jeff Van Gundy's mouth, also gave an interview: "Paul is finally here with the Pelicans, and I feel like a dream has come true. Jeff Van Gundy has already told me about his thoughts for the new season and I think that's a great thing. β
Another "golden insider", Paul Millsap, also responded to Pau Gasol's joining:
"Some people say I'm going to fight Gasol for a position, and I want to say that's not true. I've said it a long time ago, I'm very welcome to him, and it's not just talking, I want to witness a super dynasty in New Orleans, and no one can let me go! β
Pelican fans also welcomed Pau Gasol, who has long been remembered by Pelican fans for his outstanding performance. (To be continued......)
