The Trail Blazers didn't have any changes in formation, which meant that they would still be suppressed by the Explorers.

The rest of the game illustrates this.

After taking a seven-point lead from the opening game, the Explorers, under the leadership of Li Wan, continued to expand their advantage.

The Trail Blazers didn't hit the first goal of the game until 2:34 of the first quarter.

And at this time, Li Wan alone has already scored 8 points!

It's only been less than three minutes......

This is too perverted, isn't it?

Mike Conley and Oden glanced at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Soon, however, they discovered that their good brother had shown mercy to them......

Because Li Wan's performance in the next time, which is getting more and more high, is the real ......

Perverted!

All kinds of unreasonable three-point shots, the defenders are almost in front of him, which is still two big steps away from the three-point line, but this ball is like a positioning, straight into the basket.

In the third quarter alone, Li Wan hit 7 three-pointers!

In the end, the game was over, and Li Wan made a total of 16 three-pointers.

With just three points, he scored 48 points.

Together with other shots, he scored 67 points alone!

It is worth mentioning that this score is similar to that of Oden, Mike Conley and Aldridge plus Leonard.

Conley scored 16 points in this game, Oden scored 15 points, Aldridge scored 18 points, plus Leonard's 20 points, a total of 69 points, only 2 points more than Li Wan alone.

With the "Four Heavenly Kings" as the absolute core, the Trailblazers team is naturally difficult to win in such a situation.

The final score was 128-101.

In the first game of the NBA Finals in the 18~19 season, the Explorers defeated the Trail Blazers by 27 points!

Such a large disparity in scores was something that I didn't expect before the game.

The reason for this is naturally that the "Dragon and Tiger Competition" staged by the Warriors and the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals is too intense.

The performance of both sides in this round of the series, as well as the direction of the plot, can be described as the "ceiling" level of the playoffs.

And the Explorers have a very big problem this season, that is, they are too "dependent" on Li Wan.

With the combat effectiveness of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Trailblazers, it may not be impossible to fight with them.

The result......

Can't hit a little!

The Trail Blazers' two strengths in the Western Conference Finals, one is the interior advantage, and the other is Leonard's advantage, which has become a bit mediocre in the Finals.

These two strong points were not brought into play, but Li Wan's combat effectiveness was as fierce as ever, which made the long-awaited first game of the finals hastily turned into a "push game". The Explorers didn't feel the slightest difficulty, and won it easily.

If in the first game, the Trail Blazers have not adjusted their state and are still playing the Explorers in the same way as the Warriors, then in the second game, they are more aimed at Li Wan's blocking and dismantling style of play and make up for the defense, but they still lost 24 points, which is enough to show that the Trail Blazers are born restrained when they meet the Explorers.

Leonard, who decided the team's ceiling, still had only 21 points in this game, shooting 40% from the field, and on the defensive end, Li Wan, who was limited by him, scored 63 points again......

It was also after the second game of the finals that most of the media officially gave the Trail Blazers a "death sentence"!

The 0-2 score is not fatal, at least in 06 there was someone who did it after falling behind 0-2, winning 4 games in a row, and turning the whole situation back again.

But that is Nowitzki, if he hadn't won the championship in 10 years, the "soft egg" hat on his head would have stayed with him throughout his career.

And now, the Trail Blazers are facing the most powerful "big devil" in the league, and this season, he also played the most incredible performance, averaging 60 plus per game in the regular season, surpassing Chamberlain, and now even Chamberlain can't do such a thing......

With such a strong guy leading a team that leads a 2-0 lead, who doesn't feel like this series is over?

The only "winning point" for the Trail Blazers was their home court in the next two games.

But home advantage, does it really work!?

Don't analyze it from Li Wan's side, just talk about the Trail Blazers themselves, they did not show the temperament of a "home dragon" throughout the playoffs. They can win away and they can lose at home.

So it's really uncertain how much of a role this home court can have, and no media outlet is calling it the Trail Blazers' advantage in Game 3 of the series......

Judging from the discussion on the Internet, fans are used to such results, and of course, some fans express their incomprehension:

"Why can't you beat it? Over the years, Li Wan has become more and more terrifying, but these guys are fighting more and more backwards, seriously, they should really think about themselves, have they worked hard all these years! ”

However, more people think that such a result has long been expected.

"I feel that all the players in this league, in front of Li Wan, are like a secondary school girl who has met a rapper, and she is destined to be the one who is *!"

"It's a familiar 2-0 start again, seriously, if I were Li Wan, I might have started thinking about retirement by now, it's really unchallenging!"

……

The next two games were no surprises.

The Explorers, led by Li Wan, won two more games and swept the Trail Blazers 4-0.

The big score is 4-0!

In Game 4 of the series, the Trail Blazers were still fiercely resisting.

You can see that they want to win even one game.

Even a 4-1 score is better than 0-4!

But the inability to limit Li Wan means that any defensive strategy of the Trail Blazers cannot really limit the Explorers.

But on the Explorers' side, Li Wan can limit Leonard very well.

The others perform their own duties, and they can also form restrictions on the other three people in the "Four Heavenly Kings".

131 to 109.

This is the final match of Game 4 of the series.

The Explorers eliminated the Trail Blazers with a score difference of 22 points, rewriting the score to 4-0!

When the red light came on at the end, Oden and Mike Conley glanced at each other helplessly.

This is the first time in their careers that they have stood on the stage of the finals, and it is also the first time they have met Li Wan on the stage of the finals. They finally knew how terrifying Li Wan was in the form of the finals.

Can't beat it!

Can't beat it at all!

In fact, since returning to Portland, their idea has not been to defeat Li Wan and break his "undefeated in the Finals", but to try to win the next game.

Results......

You really can't win!

Leonard looked depressed.

He and Li Wan have played against each other three times on the stage of the finals.

This was what he considered to be the best moment of his career, but when he met Li Wan, he still felt as helpless as he did back then.

It's really sad to be in the same era as such an insurmountable mountain!

Auden greeted Conley.

Losing the finals is definitely a hard thing to do.

But at least......

"I'm still okay with losing to you, Lee, congratulations!" Auden stepped forward, gave a firm hug, and by the way, slapped Li Wan's back twice, it was this degree of force, Li Wan felt how much, he was more or less with a little personal emotion in it.

It's the feeling of "a small fist punching your chest".

After so many years of brotherhood, Li Wan can still get used to this little temper.

After all, I lost the finals!

Not only allowed their little temper, Li Wan also took the initiative to comfort: "It's already very good, at least, you guys have made me sweat!" ”

Conley:......

Oden:......

Don't stop me, let me kill this batch!

This was followed by the award ceremony.

Tatum walked towards the center of the court with the championship trophy.

The Explorers players have gathered in the middle of the court. Looking at the new president, they are used to winning the championship, but they also have a strange feeling.

Not to mention them, even those fans, or media reporters, will feel this way.

In other words, the longer you witness this alliance, the more you will have a strange feeling.

But also, the president's imprint on the alliance is too deep.

This doesn't mean that he will disappear immediately after stepping down from the position of president, it will take some time......

The president feels strange, but fortunately, the championship trophy is as always.

When Kwame Brown lifted the trophy, there was excitement in his eyes for the first time in a long time.

This is the 10th championship trophy of his career, and from '08 to '19, he has only one year in 11 years without a championship.

He is only one championship trophy away from "The Lord of the Rings".

And this number ......

He glanced at Li Wan next to him, he entered the alliance in 07, and he is now 31 years old!

In such a state, it is obvious that he will still dominate the league for a long time, and the number of championships he has with Kwamay Brown can naturally match or even surpass the "Lord of the Rings".

This is more or less, and it can be regarded as a very bullish thing!

This is Kwame Brown's 10th career championship, making him only the second player in NBA history to reach a double-digit number of championships.

Before 07, this "parallel champion" who had been in the league for 6 years would never have imagined that his career in the next 12 years would be so exciting!

The ups and downs of life are nothing more than that......

Michael Jordan!

Did you see that?

At the same time, this is also Li Wan's 9th championship trophy.

Holding this trophy in his hand, Li Wan's expression was very calm, thinking back to his performance in the regular season, and then thinking about his performance in the playoffs and the finals......

All are 60 plus performances per game!

This made the thought in Li Wan's heart, which had been stirring up, even stronger.

It's time......

Holding the hand of the champion unconsciously, Li Wan made up his mind.

The voting of the courtside media reporters for the Finals MVP is also coming to an end, without any surprises, averaging 63.5 points, 14.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 3.5 steals and 2 blocks per game, and Li Wan, who shot 65% from the field, won the 9th Finals MVP trophy of his career.

When he held up the Finals MVP trophy, Barkley couldn't help but say: "Let's congratulate Li Wan, the greatest player in NBA history, for winning the 9th Finals MVP of his career, and this is also the second 'quadruple championship' he led the team to play, the debate about who is greater between him and Michael Jordan does not need to continue, this has become a question that does not need to be discussed anymore, and now the more suspenseful thing is who is the third in NBA history." One of the more terrifying things is that Li Wan is only 31 years old, we all know what this age means, and this alliance will be ruled by him for at least 3~5 years! ”

I say less!

This is Barkley's self-talk.

As far as Li Wan's performance this season is concerned, 5 years is obviously not enough for him to lose his dominance in this league, and he can at least play another "four consecutive championships" and a "two consecutive championships".

This is something that Barkley thinks will at least be able to do before Levan retires.

The only thing he worries about now is ......

"I don't know if Li Wan still has that momentum to continue playing in this league, that's what I have doubts, we all know that Michael Jordan once chose to retire after the first 'triple championship', a big reason is because of an unfortunate thing, and partly because he feels that this league has lost its challenging ......"

Li Wan now has 9 crowns in his hands and has played two "four consecutive championships", Barkley has reason to suspect that Li Wan is likely to choose to retire because he has no motivation to continue to move forward.

Kenny Smith, who was next to him, listened to Barkley's "bold speech" and didn't dare to say a word.

Aren't you afraid of being caught by the Ohios and immersed in a pig pen?

What kind of bastard is this?

But before he could persuade Barkley to close the point, Li Wan, who held the 9th Finals MVP trophy in his career, said: "It's another night like this, no matter how many times I go through it, I will feel excited, I'm a person who doesn't like to lose, I hope I can win all the time, 10, 11, 12...... I have a good enough team-mate and I believe we can do everything. Whether it's this season, next year, or the next two or three seasons! ”

"I'm thrilled to bring a triple championship ...... Ohio"

"But after I fulfilled my promise and brought a dynasty, an era to Columbus, my thoughts began to multiply......"

Belch?

Huh?

what？

All the people who were listening to Li Wan's speech gradually became wrong.

Including Barkley, who had just made a big fuss, was also a little dumbfounded at the moment, and the fists on the table unconsciously moved to the bottom of the table and clenched, and said very anxiously:

No way!

No way!

You're not going to let me get right, are you?

This......

I'm afraid I'm going to die to atone, right?

The word "danger" sounded in Barkley's head!

Li Wan actually "said" to him that he had retired, if this is true, I am afraid that many fans have already come to the TNT studio with guns now.

Don't, Brother Wan, don't mess with me!

Barkley is facing the biggest crisis of his career.

But God couldn't stop Li Wan's thoughts, and his words continued:

"It's been a long-time idea, and I've said before that my expectations for the finals depend on whether or not I play against my brothers, and I've been thinking about whether I should stop when I've won not one, not two, or three championships in different places!"

"Now, I'm sure that in Huaxia, 9 is a very satisfactory number, and I think I should stop my steps!"

"Especially at this moment, I am extremely sure that this is my last season, thank you for your company, it belongs to my time, let's draw an end here!"

！！！

The audience was shocked, no, it should be said that the fans who were watching this scene all over the world were shocked, especially the Columbians who were celebrating the championship at the Grand Navigation Arena at the moment, and the smiles on their faces gradually froze.

Win this season's championship and win the first "triple crown" in Columbus's history, but if this "triple crown" is exchanged for their Giegie career, they will definitely not agree.

At this moment, they felt that they should have heard it wrong.

There was a hint of pleading in his eyes in disbelief:

If it's true, then they want it to be false.

If it's fake, it couldn't be better!

But Li Wan's words continued, and he didn't mean to joke at all:

"Thank you for your support over the years, see you!"

When Li Wan put down the microphone in his hand, the scene didn't seem to react.

Kwame Brown rushed towards Li Wan at the first time, looking eager;

"Do you know what you're talking about? Man, you know what? “

Wiggins and the others next to them also looked at each other, Li Wan was their "leading big brother", they had long been used to playing with Li Wan, and when they suddenly heard about such a thing, they were at a loss as if a child lost an adult.

"The future is yours!"

Back in the locker room, Li Wan patted the gang on the shoulder.

He then made his official appearance at the post-match press conference.

He was already the focus of the audience, but now he has become the person that all reporters are waiting for tonight.

The small room was completely packed, and in the end, Li Wan chose to be interviewed at the stadium in the Rose Garden.

When he expressed this intention, the Trail Blazers agreed without the slightest hesitation.

This is a historic moment, and no matter where it happens, it will have a special historical significance, and everyone knows that.

"So, man, are you really ready to retire?"

Li Wan looked at the reporter in front of him, asked the first question, and said with a smile: "I think I have made it very clear." ”

"So your reason is ......"

"I'm not sure what the reason is for you to hear it, but I have two versions here!" "In the first version, I think my personality is better than Michael's, so I want to leave some time for my contemporaries who need a championship to prove themselves, so ......"

Speaking of this, Li Wan himself laughed first.

The reporters also laughed, but soon stopped, they were all waiting, and Li Wan gave a second version of the answer.

"There is another reason......" Li Wan was silent for a short time, and then said, "I don't feel any challenge anymore!" ”

The words are arrogant.

But when most of the reporters heard this, they nodded their heads in a ghostly manner, and as for the remaining reporters, they nodded even more.

They didn't feel that Li Wan had said anything wrong.

As an active player, from 10 to 19 years, he only missed 2 championship trophies, and led the team to play 2 "4 consecutive championships" in ten years; As a historical player, he holds 5 regular season MVPs, 9 championship trophies, and 9 finals MVPs, and has been a "double team" for 11 consecutive years, becoming the first person in NBA history!

And at this time, he was only 31 years old!

Having achieved such an achievement at such an age, he felt that there was no challenge, and it was really not arrogant.

"Aren't you going to go on a retirement tour?"

This question made Li Wan think about it for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Isn't this enough?" ”

60 plus per game in the regular season, 60 plus per game in the playoffs, and 60 plus per game in the finals......

Isn't this kind of performance, as Li Wan said, enough?

There is no need for Li Wan to give an answer to this question.

The next day, as these words were reported by the media, the entire alliance was completely shocked.

Countless fans shouted "Lord's youth is over".

And for the whole Ohio, it was a bolt from the blue, and five thunderbolts were like bad news.

You must know that Li Wan has long become the "spiritual totem" of the entire Ohio.

Originally, Li Wan's age, this day is said to not come so early.

He's only 31 years old!

In the eyes of Ohio fans, Columbus has a good chance of breaking the Boston Celtics' eight-game winning streak.

Especially after winning the city's first "triple crown", their "fantasy time" has reached the point of lawlessness.

But who would have thought that before they had more ideas, Li Wan suddenly announced his retirement.

There was not a little bit of preparation, and there was not a little bit of precaution.

In fact, a considerable number of fans spontaneously appeared at the airport in Columbus last night, holding signs such as "Li Wan, don't retire" and "Li Wan, please play for another year", begging Li Wan not to retire.

Li Wan looked at them with a smile, but he just looked at them with a smile, he was really a little tired!

The news quickly spread in China, and when all fans heard the news, their first reaction was:

The men's basketball World Cup in '19 hangs in the air!

Not only is the men's basketball World Cup hanging, but the Tokyo Olympics in the past 20 years also looks hanging!

With Yao Ming's retirement, the problems of the Chinese men's basketball team can no longer be covered up, and more fans understand Li Wan's sentence "There is me behind Da Yao, who is behind me"?

But at such a juncture, they can only hope that Li Wan can wear the men's basketball jersey again after 7 years and fight for the Chinese men's basketball team.

After all, this World Cup is happening right at home!

As a result, after Li Wan played the best season of his career, he suddenly announced his retirement.

This......

For domestic fans, this news is also so shocking!

Li Wan then officially announced a short video of his retirement through his personal Twitter account.

The entire league, from the ancient "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell, to several current stars, sent their blessings under his Twitter.

Bill Russell: "This man, I regret not playing in the environment of modern basketball, but I think I can still beat this guy now, haha, congratulations, you created an era!" ”

LeBron James: "Career rivals, question you with the most reverent greetings, you have a really great career!" ”

His heart was relaxed when he got the new news of Li Wan's retirement.

I also specially confirmed with my agent several times.

Finally!

Finally got this guy away!

He's ready for the new season!

Immediately, he posted a photo of his gym training on his social account.

Kobe Bryant also sent his blessing: "Man, congratulations on entering the next stage of your life, it will take some time to get used to, but I don't think you will get used to it!" ”

In the end, even Michael Jordan stood up: "This is one of the newcomers I want to play the most, you are the most dominant guy of this era!" ”

Under his comment, Barkley stood up and retorted: "No no no, Michael, you are wrong, not this era, but the whole era!" ”

……

But then Li Wan threw out a blockbuster "bomb".

This "bomb" made domestic fans explode all at once.

"By the way, there is still news to announce, I have decided that I will attend the men's basketball World Cup in 19 years and become a member of the Chinese men's basketball team, I think soon, you can see me in the arena again!"

Within half an hour of the release of this news, it became a hot search for "big hits" on domestic Weibo.

Without even waiting for the domestic fans to react, the Chinese men's basketball team and Da Yao confirmed the news as soon as possible.

The official website of the Chinese men's basketball team updated the photos of Li Wan wearing the national team jersey in a timely manner:

The world's strongest No. 25, return!

Under this dynamic, in just half an hour, the number of comments exceeded 10,000, and the number of likes exceeded 100,000.

The fans who were still very worried about the future of the Chinese men's basketball team at home this year at the beginning were not worried in an instant, and one thing that is well known is that the Chinese men's basketball team with Li Wan has the worst international medal in the silver medal!

It's stable this year!

Especially the fans who watched Li Wan's performance just ended this season shouted excitedly: "The gold medal of the first Men's Basketball World Cup will belong to the Chinese men's basketball team!" ”

There is no way, Li Wan's state this season can be said to be completely able to do 1 to 5!

Others just have to do a good job......

Wrong!

As long as the others play, they believe that Li Wan can win with these people.

Let's put it this way, Li Wan can win even if he leads 11 dogs!

Li Wan's idea is actually very simple:

This year's World Cup is about tickets to next year's Olympic Games.

As someone who has experienced 19 years of outrageous service mistakes in the World Cup that led to the loss of tickets, Li Wan has never wanted to cover up the ugly scars for the Chinese men's basketball team.

However, at this time, he still couldn't give up his heart, and just watched the Chinese men's basketball team fall at the door of the World Cup, especially when he had the strength to do something.

You must know that the impact of not being able to get tickets in 19 years is really great, which led to the generation behind the Chinese men's basketball team not having the stage experience of the Olympic Games, and then it led to the turmoil of the men's basketball team.

If any of the damn sideline balls are served, maybe the men's basketball team's downfall can be even slower......

Of course, Li Wan can't be responsible for this event, it is something that has not happened at all, but now, he can be responsible for the upcoming 19 World Cup.

This Chinese men's basketball team, which is still on the verge of extinction, Li Wan is about to be held alone, and they will also be allowed to enter the Tokyo Olympics.

It's a few years to be able to drag it out!

Anyway, it's a matter of effort......

After the World Championships, he has a lot of time to rest!

After deciding to play in the men's basketball World Cup, two days after he won the championship, he turned on the special training mode, Taylor Swift took a picture of him sweating in the training room, and posted it on the Internet and complained:

Can you believe that this man just announced his retirement the other day?

On June 15th, the Explorers held a "Parade of Champions", which in previous years would have been the same day as Christmas, but this year, many people came to participate in the event, but everyone's expressions were not happy, but rather disappointed.

This may be a spectacle that has not been possible in previous "Championship Parades".

The reason is also very simple, Li Wan announced his retirement, and even the notice was issued, which is no less than a major earthquake in Ohio.

It's going to take three and a half years, how can they recover from this emotion?

In fact, many fans chose to refuse to accept it. They came to the scene of this "Championship Parade" with expectations, and were ready to use practical actions to make Li Wan feel their reluctance and change his mind of preparing to retire!

It's just that what they didn't expect was that Li Wan was absent from this "Championship Parade", and at this time he had already set off to return to China.

It was also when the special training had just begun, that Li Wanfang remembered that he could return to China first, so that he could not only adapt to the jet lag in advance, but also communicate better with Da Yao once he had an idea.

Now the fans of the Explorers are completely dead.

It seems that Li Wan is really tired of his NBA career.

It's all to blame on these uncompetitive guys, how can they ...... So what about not being competitive?

You say, if you fight for some energy, will Li Wan retire so early?

At this moment, nearly a million Columbusians turned into black fans of various stars, appearing in major forums to carry out various attacks on these stars.

Lose my love, raise your eyes in ruins!

Don't think about it, everyone!

On this day, the quality of Columbus's netizens fell to the bottom.

It is worth mentioning that after Li Wan announced his participation in this World Cup, the United States Blue Slanted posted three "hero posts" in a row that night, inviting major stars to respond and jointly fight against "Li".

Many media, mainly European media, also used the headline "America's most powerful enemy is back" to announce the return of the "international version of Li Wan"!

"This time he doesn't want to be the king of the NBA, but wants to be the king of the whole world!"

And the country, which has always had a good life in the second middle school, used such headlines to announce Li Wan's return to the Chinese men's basketball team.

This day is a festival for all Li Wan fans, but it also made these people in other countries sound the "Men's Basketball World Cup Alarm":

This is not acting, this is not acting, the Great Demon King Li Wan is back, the Great Demon King Li Wan is back!

On June 25, the NBA's annual draft came as scheduled.

When Michael Jordan officially retired, LeBron James entered the league as the "chosen son", although he did not eventually become the face of the future of the league, but to talk about the current "uncrowned king......

It wasn't his turn.

Kevin Durant, the guy who has made it to the Finals three times, is more qualified to be called the "uncrowned king" than him.

But if you want to talk about the "king of data", LeBron James can still be ranked in the top five in the league.

Coincidentally, in the summer when Li Wan announced his retirement, there was also a super rookie who announced his participation in the draft.

He is Zion Williams, who stepped on Nike's shoes and caused Nike's stock price to shrink by 100 million!

He was eventually drafted by the former Hornets who changed his name to the Pelicans and became the "champion" for 19 years!

And the similarities between the summer of '19 and the summer of '03 are much more than that.

In 03, not only LeBron James was produced, but also other "super rookies", and in this year's draft, the talented players are not only Zion Williams, but also Ja Morant and RJ Barrett, etc., are all talented potential rookies!

The script has been written, and New Orleans are looking forward to it, but Zion is not very happy, and he doesn't want his career to be like LeBron James, where there are only statistics and no championships.

Morant, the second pick, caused a stir on the night of the draft, claiming that his talent was underrated and that he would be the next Leewan. As soon as these words came out, the entire social media was detonated at that time, and Morant was directly sprayed and temporarily closed the comment area.

The kid was a little dumbfounded, too.

He really didn't expect that saying this would cause such a big storm.

This Nima ......

His father told him since he was a child not to talk about Jews casually, but now it seems that the "nuclear reaction" that Li Wan can cause is almost like a Jew in the fan circle......

"Bangyan" can also be regarded as knowing what it means to have "a flood of bad reviews"!

The Explorers took Jordan Pu'er with the 28th pick in the first round.

This is naturally Li Wan's suggestion.

When Griffin called Li Wan to ask for advice, Li Wan didn't say a word and gave his opinion.

After all, his retirement was a temporary decision, and when the team needed help, he naturally had to contribute.

His affection for the Explorers must be the deepest, although he was the most glamorous when he was in New York, but when he came to Columbus, his overall exposure increased with the shaping of his "godhead" and the creation of various records.

In the past three years, including the impact of his two years in Cleveland, Columbus's development has been very fast. This was originally a big city with a population density of one million, but there was a lack of a legendary star who was enough to attract foreign investment, and Li Wan filled the vacancy in this area.

Now the overall development trend has moved towards the first-tier cities, which is not easy in today's overall economic environment.

Li Wan's influence can be seen.

If you are bound deep enough, you will naturally try to help when you can.

It is said that Griffin has conveyed Gilbert's meaning and is willing to give Li Wan some shares and make him a minority shareholder of the Explorers.

In fact, I just want to continue to deeply bind Li Wan.

It's just that Li Wan didn't rush to do these things, he just retired, he originally wanted to have a good time, but suddenly got himself a job for the World Cup, so what he has to do now is to prepare for the World Cup with all his might.

His advice to Griffin is two candidates, one is Jordan Pu'er and the other is Porter Jr.

In the end, Griffin chose Jordan Puerh.

Anyway, Griffin is really busy right now.

Without Li Wan, it is definitely a challenge for his work, and he has to be a lot more cautious in his selection at the draft.

But that's just the beginning.

No, just after the draft, he received a call from Carmelo Anthony, who told him that he was considering retirement and wanted to retire as an Explorers player. Because his contract ends this summer.

Griffin naturally understood what he meant, and promised that the team would retire his number 15 shirt.

In any case, Anthony is also an important main player in the team's "three consecutive championships".

For this city that has only had an NBA team for 3 years, the foundation is what they desperately need, so they are not stingy to give Anthony a home.

However, he also told Anthony that his jersey retirement ceremony would have to come after Li Wan.

Anthony also understands this.

This is normal!

On July 1, the NBA free agency market had just opened, and Carmelo Anthony, who had negotiated with Griffin, officially announced his retirement, ending his 15-year career.

The official website of the Columbus Explorers immediately updated Anthony's highlights from the Explorers and thanked him for his dedication to the team. It's just that there is no voice at all from the Denver Nuggets, as if Anthony's 8 years in Denver are not worth mentioning.

Although this has long been expected, Anthony still can't hide his anger and said:

They should retire my jersey!

Either way, Carmelo Anthony was there to contribute to the city's small history, leading the team to equal the team's best record, and he spent eight years there, half of his career.

It's a pity that the Nuggets still don't say a word.

After Anthony was busy, Griffin began to strengthen for the new season.

With the loss of Li Wan and now the loss of Anthony, the Explorers in the new season must have a big reinforcement if they want to succeed.

Can......

Griffin now only has a feeling of people walking tea cool.

In previous years, others took the initiative to call him, but now he takes the initiative to call others, and people love to ignore them.

Of course, he also knew why this was ......

On the nth day of Li Wan's retirement, I miss him!

At the same time, Tatum, the president of the league, also felt the impact of Li Wan's retirement, as the broadcaster, ESPN threw out the contract signed that year, and Li Wan's "national live broadcast" could not be less than 44 games, if it could not be reached, it could be paid 100 million less!

Other words......

I haven't played a game in the new season, and because of Li Wan, the NBA has earned 100 million less!

At the same time, the major "gold fathers" also began to express their dissatisfaction openly and secretly, and as for the new "gold master fathers", they originally wanted to enter the market urgently, but now they have begun to wait and see.

When Li Wan just announced his retirement, Tatum was quite happy, as the president of the league, he naturally didn't want to see a monopoly situation, after Li Wan left, the scene of "a hundred flowers blooming", he was excited when he thought about it.

Results......

At this moment, he tasted the pain of David Stern when Michael Jordan retired for the first time.

As the most influential first person in the alliance, his departure is too bad for the turmoil of this alliance.

The most important thing is......

This is the first month of his retirement!

The devil knows what kind of influence will be behind it! (End of chapter)
