"You're so shaved, why do you look decadent?"

Lima tidied up at Shay's house and complained about Shay's growing beard.

Shay just smiled: "What decadence? When I get older, don't you think it's more attractive for me to have a beard? ”

"You're not old! Oh, give you a new electric shaver. ”

"Tut-tut, what a good day? Suddenly gave me a gift. ”

"Celebrate that I was signed by Victoria's Secret!" Lima said, happily leaning in front of Shay, "If you hadn't chosen me to shoot the advertisement back then, I wouldn't know where I would be now, so I can't thank you well." ”

"Congratulations, I heard that Ambrosio and Bundchen were also signed, right?"

"Hmph, all you know is that you care about them! Let's go, I'll help you walk around the yard! ”

"Do you really think I'm crippled? I can walk, but I can't play basketball yet, so I don't need to be helped. Shay said, getting up and walking outside.

Lima looked disdainful: "Yes, yes, someone was photographed dating a Batgirl a few days ago, it seems that you are indeed cured!" Looking for an ugly country sweetheart, phew, don't get tired of you! ”

"Ahh You read less of that kind of gossip tabloids! Besides, Sylveston and I were just a simple night, ah no.

It's just a simple friendship, discussing her mental journey as the Batgirl, nothing. ”

Although he was complaining about Shay, Lima still grabbed Shay's arm and walked into the huge courtyard.

Shay's ankle still feels a little inflexible when he walks now.

But according to Viti, Shay is recovering very well.

He will definitely be back in 100% form from mid-March to early April.

100% state means that Shay will not feel any discomfort, will not be affected in any way, and can spread the joy of playing.

Walking into the courtyard, Shay looked at the still gloomy sky in January and sighed.

Lima immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Alas, sigh. But then again, those bullshit rules that limit you are really enough! ”

Lima has also been following basketball news lately, and since the successful conclusion of the collective bargaining negotiations on January 6, various new rules have been officially released.

And these new regulations, in the words of the Chinese media, are: extremely targeted!

First of all, although the league retains the soft salary cap, as previously exposed, it cannot jump out of the contract first and then renew it. If you want to do that, you have to keep the salary space for the renewal of the bird rights.

In other words, even if Shay jumps out of the contract, the Lakers will have to occupy 40 million salary space in order to renew Shay's contract.

If the space is not reserved, it is deemed to have waived the bird right.

Secondly, the league specifies in detail the proportion of contracts in different grades to the salary cap.

In other words, from now on, there will be a cap on the salary of players, and it will no longer be a matter of how much the boss has.

The exaggerated thing of 40 million annual salary will no longer exist.

There is also the addition of the "luxury tax", every team that exceeds the salary cap has to pay an extra part of the money to the league, restricting the rich owners from doing whatever they want.

Isn't this everywhere aimed at the Lakers who pay Shay's highest salary while still maintaining a championship-contending roster.

These are just contract rule changes, and the rules change at the competitive level is that the league officially allows joint defense and cancels the illegal defense of the eggs!

It also relaxes the restrictions on the contact of offensive players with hands when defending.

To put it bluntly, the defense can be even rougher than it is now!

Don't be surprised, 21st century basketball isn't soft from the start.

In fact, the beginning of the 21st century was precisely the most terrible years of the league's defense.

The era of allowing joint defense and still retaining HandCheck is the era of the most defensive in the entire NBA!

The defense is better than that of the girls!

In the original history, the Pistons, Spurs and other defensive teams were able to win the championship, which was due to this defensive era.

And in this history, because of Shay, this era of the most heavily defended has come in advance!

These rules are undoubtedly limiting Shay's ability to play individually, which can no longer be contained.

Although Dr. Bass was strenuously opposed to the opening of the joint defense during the negotiations:

"Fans pay money just to see the stars one-on-one, and you can't take that away!"

But it's useless, because other teams also want to win championships, and they can't just watch the Lakers make a lot of money.

And the best way to win against the Lakers is to weaken Shay!

Stern is also supportive of this, and he wants to weaken Shay with a wave of version updates to prevent the occurrence of a quadruple winning streak.

In the end, the league passed the new defensive rules with 22 votes in favor, 6 votes against, and 1 abstention.

Shay is about to take on the challenge in the era of the tightest defenses!

Therefore, Lima thought that Shay's sigh was due to this series of highly targeted new regulations.

But Shay's sigh wasn't because of this, to be honest, changing the rules made Shay even more excited.

After all, only a strong enough star can force the league to change the rules.

Only the strong will let the league change the rules to target themselves.

Being able to force the league to change the rules can also be regarded as a proof of the strength of a player.

But Stern, that old boy thinks he can limit himself by changing the rules?

The rest of the league thinks they'll take the crown away from them by changing the rules?

You can give it a try!

What really made Shay sigh was that there were fewer and fewer people in this alliance that he was familiar with.

Just the day before yesterday, Ewing visited Shay's house and told Shay about his intention to retire.

After winning three consecutive championships, Ewing, who has been a substitute for two seasons in a row, has already retired.

If it weren't for the triple crown, Ewing would have retired in the first year after suffering a major knee injury. After all, playing as a substitute all the time is not in line with his personality.

Ewing, who has now won enough accolades, decided to leave the basketball court and focus on playing for the Golden Club.

In addition, McMillan also has plans to retire.

He accompanied Shay to all five championships, and as a role player, it can be said that he has no desire.

In addition, now that I am older, I really can't fight until the last moment every season.

By the way, 38-year-old Terry. Teague was also about to leave the basketball court, and when he called Shay, he cried profusely: "The old slave will never be able to serve you again!" ”

Speaking of which, Terry. In Teague's original history, he completely disappeared from the alliance in 93 years, and he was just a little transparent for the rest of his life.

But in this history, he won five championships with Shay until 1998.

Shay was saddened by the thought that no one would know how to serve him better than Teague in the future.

In addition, there is another person who is not with the Lakers, but is also very important to Shay, who intends to retire, and that is Sir Charles Fliggy.

After the Fliggy Jazz suffered a recurrence of a back injury in the regular season last season due to grabbing rebounds, there was no news as if the world had evaporated.

Until the other day he sent a text message to Shay:

"Secretly rejoice, you bastard, the person most likely to beat you, that is, the old pig me, is ready to retire!"

Barkley is well aware that he can no longer shake Shay's position after a major injury, which has won three consecutive championships.

Rather than being trampled by young people again, and then being trampled by Danny. Anji's idiot is yin and yang, he would rather leave early.

In fact, Barkley has already found a new job, and he has reached a tentative agreement with TNT TV to switch careers to become a commentator.

After changing careers, he is bound to become the first person to commentate!

Jordan, Aslip, Barkley, Ewing, Terry. Teague, McMillan.

The league is shut down, the rules are changed, and the millennium is about to begin

All of this gives Shay a kind of . It feels like times are really about to change.

He couldn't help but sigh and sigh.

Before you know it, so many years have passed, and so many opponents and teammates are gone

Seeing that Shay's face was full of sorrow, Lima smiled and rested his head on Shay's shoulder:

"It's okay, you're still the best player in the world."

"Nonsense."

"Tut-tut, praise you and you're still panting."

"Damn, how did Xiao Nizi talk to me?"

"Hehe, I'm not going to talk to you, I have to rush to shoot the cover of the magazine. By the way, Ambrosio is about to celebrate his 18th birthday, don't forget. ”

"I remember, April 11th."

"What about mine?"

"I don't remember."

"Damn, Shay, you bastard!"

Shay took out two fingers: "1 to 1, I'm angry with you too." ”

"Childish! Only Mai Buckle will be willing to play this kind of game with you! Let's go, remember to shave! ”

"Drive slower."

"Got it, I'm not a kid anymore, I'm 18 years old this year!"

"It's five months away."

"Hahaha, you really remember! Good bye! ”

Watching Lima drive away, Shay couldn't help but sigh that the little girl of the year had become an 18-year-old girl.

If it's a fruit, it's all going to be harvested.

Back in the living room of the house, Shay turned on the TV.

With collective bargaining over and the NBA restarted, the sports news is buzzing again.

However, Shay found that most sports channels said: A series of new rules restricting Shay, and aging stars, mean that an era has passed!

In 1999, Olajuwon was 36 years old a month shy of him, and he had not appeared in the best team for a long time. The super-center who used to be able to fight Shay in the playoffs didn't score in double figures in four games last season.

Like countless other superstars, he is unable to age in the years.

In 1999, the Admiral was no longer the Spurs' arrowhead, and the nerd who averaged 21 points, 12 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game in his rookie season had become the new hope of the Holy City.

In 1999, Scott. Pippen was dying of injuries, his back and knees already overwhelmed. Back then, he dreamed of becoming the boss alone. But now, he probably misses the days when he was the third in the Bulls.

In 1999, people stopped talking about Charles. Barkley will no longer remember his "I'm going to win more championships than Shay" declaration when he first arrived in Phoenix.

Because he can't even be on the court at All-Star Weekend right now, and a back injury is tormenting him, he probably won't be on the Suns' roster next season, he's really old.

In 1999, Patrick. Ewing announced his retirement.

In 1999, Drexler and Jordan had been retired for almost two years.

In 1999, Shay, who had never missed due to injury, had to be a month to two months late for the new season. I had to face the new rules that were extremely unfriendly and very targeted. had to face those young and talented opponents.

The cold winter of 1999 really seems to be the cold winter of their generation of superstars.

Shay turned off the TV, followed by another long sigh.

But soon, Shay laughed again.

The strife of the 90s is indeed over, but

Lao Tzu's era is not over yet!

Watch the entire league go to great lengths to limit themselves, and watch Stern rack his brains to limit himself.

Shay was excited!

For the first time since Jordan retired, Shay, who felt that there was no challenge in the game, had this excitement!

Originally, I didn't think this game was interesting, but since that's the case, then I'll play with you again!

Shay opened the system interface, ready to add his last few skill points.

At this time, on the ability value interface, Shay's three-point attribute is already 78.

In the summer of '97, Shay was upgraded and drew 8 skill points, and Shay gave all 8 skill points to three points, increasing it to 60.

At the end of last season, Shay won another personal honor slam and redeemed 22 honor points.

Therefore, Shay added physical strength at 4 o'clock and increased his physical fitness to 90 in case he was too tired and injured.

The remaining 18 points were also given to three points, which was increased to 78!

Now, Shay still has a big upgrade of skill points that are useless!

This upgrade happened this morning, because Shay is also doing upper limb recovery training now, so the upgrade experience bar has also been rising.

Just now, an upgrade has finally been completed!

This upgrade is Shay's latest promotion, and it was only successfully upgraded in January of this year.

However, considering that I have barely trained this offseason due to injury, it is normal for the pace of promotion to be slower.

At first, Shay was afraid that the major surgery would affect his physical attributes.

But it turns out that Viti is not lying, and Shay's bodily functions will not be affected.

Shay's current physique stats have not been reduced at all.

The only difference is that there is an extra hint in the stats screen: because injuries and illnesses are not 100% cured, the actual level may not be as good as the stat display.

But as long as Shay returns to 100% of his state, his attribute abilities can be fully displayed!

Since he didn't need to complement the attributes of the physique, Shay gave all the 6 skill points drawn this time to three-point shots.

At this point, Shay's three-point attribute has become 84!

The threshold of "excellent" has been exceeded!

From now on, Shay is also a person with three-point ability!

Also, the shooting hotspot badge can be used outside the three-point line.

In other words, if Shay practices a hot zone outside the three-point line, then his three-point ability value in that area will reach 89!

That's enough, for Shay now, the three-point ability is completely enough!

Looking at the news in the newspaper about "times changing" and "Shay is dying", Shay laughed disdainfully.

Replacement?

No kidding.

It's still the same sentence, unless Lao Tzu himself doesn't play anymore.

Otherwise, you'll all have to be sons!

In the winter of 1999, an era passed.

But the era that belongs to that man will never end!

Today's 10,000-word update is presented, and the conscience of the old man kneels and begs for a monthly pass!
