347: The most arrogant decision in history!
Jerry. The last time Buzz was so surprised was when he learned that the magician had been diagnosed with HIV.
He looked at Shay in front of him, his face full of disbelief: "Isn't it the king, are you really here!?" ”
"If it's true, I'm not going to joke about it, Jerry."
Jerry. Buzz panicked at the time:
"I know that since the new collective bargaining agreement was introduced by the Union, your salary has been reduced to only a quarter of what it used to be. But the league also doesn't allow active players to own a stake in the team, otherwise I'd definitely give you a stake. ”
Speaking of this, Old Bass glanced at Jenny beside him.
Aunt Jenny seemed to understand something, and stood up at that time:
"Dad, for the sake of our family's team, I do! That's right, the league rules that active players can't hold shares, but there is no rule that active players can't hold the owner's daughter! ”
Buzz & Shay: ???
Shay is also convinced, after so many years, Aunt Jenny is still a thief.
Even if you want to hold it, you have to hold it like the future Bucks boss's daughter.
Jerry. Buzz shook his head and waved for Aunt Jenny to sit down. I just glanced at you, and you almost got yourself married!
Shay went on to explain:
"It's not all about money, Jerry, it's mainly because I'm so tired.
And I have more important work to do in the coming year. ”
Shay's resolute attitude made Jerry. Buzz knew Shay had made up his mind.
He also knows that with Shay's current level of wealth and accomplishments, the NBA is indeed no longer challenging and fun.
Since Jordan's retirement, do you see anyone else who can make the finals a little suspenseful? Without.
I thought that the Pacers were swept by the gentleman in 98 years and there was no suspense, but I didn't expect this year's sharks to be even braver than Miller!
It seems that Shay swept the Sharks, but in fact, the Pacers beat the Knicks 1-0.
So, Jerry. Although Bas was reluctant in his heart, he still nodded:
"I see, pick a suitable time, let's have a press conference."
That's right, Shay came today, and it was with Jerry. Bath discusses retirement!
The idea came to Shay's mind on the night he celebrated after the victory.
Recently, Shay has also made plans for his future life.
Shay, who is now a six-time champion, feels like he's lost most of his passion for the game.
Without Jordan, an equal-sized opponent, Shay really has a feeling of "how lonely it is to be invincible".
The opponents changed batch after batch, but Shay still couldn't forget the wildest Chicago braised egg.
Originally, in the first round of this year's playoffs, the Stone Buddha of the New Tea Holy City gave Shay a little more desire to challenge.
In that round, Shay and the Spurs played to a tie-break, and at the last moment, relying on Perkins' life-saving three points and Shay's stunner, the Lakers were in danger.
But who would have thought that Shay's excitement had just risen, and the next few rounds would be easier than the next.
Although there are a lot of troubles in hitting the sun, Shay G6 Heavenly God went down to earth for 61 points, and directly made all beings equal.
Not to mention playing Jazz, Carl. Marlon's shooting rate of less than 40% and his average points per game of less than 20 in the series directly lowered the gold content of the MVP.
I thought that Malone had pulled enough, but I didn't expect the shark to tell Shay what it means to have a person outside the sky.
When it came to the finals, it was swept directly. The strength stands out, and it has to be a shark!
In exchange for a batch is worse than a batch, how can this game be played.
This year, Shay was able to lead the team from lottery to eighth, and he was able to lead the team from eighth to win.
All of this points to one result – the difficulty of the game is too easy for Shay!
So, Shay doesn't have much passion for the next season.
Another is that Shay can't make much money playing in the NBA now.
After the implementation of the new collective bargaining agreement, Shay's annual income from his personal brand has been much higher than the annual salary of playing in the NBA.
If you want to say that Shay can still get thirty or forty million a year, he may still be tempted by economic factors.
But now that the upper limit of the fixed salary is strictly restricted, Shay will get more than 10 million a year when he dies, which is really not interesting.
I'm tired and I can't make any money, so why bother?
Of course, these are secondary reasons.
There is another very important reason why Shay decided to retire - the 2000 Sydney Olympics!
Sydney in 2000 was the place where Shay planned his "last dance".
The following year, Shay wanted to get his hands dirty and take full responsibility for the selection and training of the national team players.
He will spend a full year helping the team prepare for the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
This is the best chance to beat the Dream Team!
So far, the Dream Team has represented "invincibility" in the basketball world.
No one has been able to hurt them yet.
And Shay. He wants to be the one who took the first time!
It's the first time Shay has won more, and this is just a few days ago on Bentley.
But this one is different!
If this first time can be taken away, Shay will go down in the history of basketball!
Now, the only black spot in Shay's mouth in the mouth of the American media is that Shay has not beaten the Dream Team in an international tournament.
Every year, when the World Championships and the Olympic Games come, it is a carnival for fans of ugly countries.
After all, they can only enjoy the thrill of beating Shay in international competitions.
And this time, Shay didn't even want to leave them with this pleasure!
So for the next year, Shea wants to dedicate himself to preparing for the Olympics.
It's unrealistic to rely on just a few people who play in the NBA to win the dream team.
Shay had to find a way to improve the team as a whole.
Therefore, it is necessary to personally check the layers of checks.
Winning the championship in the NBA has been soft, and next, it's time to do ugly national basketball at the Olympics!
That night, Shay also gathered all his teammates and friends to his home. In the name of "birthday party", he announced his decision to retire.
Mutombo glanced at Lima next to Shay at that time, this Brazilian chick is the hidden boss? Directly put Shay out of the army!
Big Ben patted his chest: "Rest assured, Boos Xie, the task of scoring in the future will be on my shoulders!" ”
Sam. Perkins watched Shay go from a hairy boy to the number one in the world, and he also had a sense of "completing the mission".
AC. Green, who has signed with the Lakers and will return next season, sighed.
Shay is retired, my first boy. It's time for an end!
Carlisle just smiled, and he knew that Shay's previous "it's over" meant more than just this season.
Although Shay is still very young, only 29 years old.
But as everyone knows, the NBA doesn't pose any challenge to him anymore.
It's time to say goodbye.
Two days later, the Lakers held their final press conference for Shay at the Great Western Forum.
Except for Jerry. Buzz, Logo Male, David. Stern was also present at the press conference.
This picture is all too familiar to Lakers fans and the Los Angeles media.
Almost 10 years ago, the magicians held such a press conference.
After that, everyone knows.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.
Did Shay follow in the footsteps of the magicians?
Considering that Shay has 18-year-old fruit around him every year, this possibility is indeed not low! If you eat too much fruit, you will inevitably eat bad food!
Sure enough, only a woman can beat the stars of Los Angeles!
After Shay sat down, many reporters who had a good relationship with Shay told him in private:
"It's okay Shay, Magi has a lot of experience in therapy and he can help you. This thing, as long as you have the ability to make money, the HIV virus can only survive in your body! ”
Shay:???
Terry. Teague must know that the reporter thinks so, and he will definitely feel that the reporter is insulting his business ability.
As the world's most professional equipment manager, he can guarantee that as long as Shay is there, he can pull out a small umbrella at any time!
I protect the king! How could something like that happen to him!
Shay was really speechless, how did I, a person who is so clean and self-conscious, cause you to have such a misunderstanding?
Shay has never been in a relationship with two women at the same time, what does this call cleanliness?
After the press conference was prepared, Shay also approached the microphone and said the words that the reporter had already anticipated:
"I am officially announcing my retirement today to end my NBA career.
Thank you to my boss, Dr. Bass, for discovering me
Thanks also David. Mr. Stern, who has contributed to the globalization of the NBA, racked his brains for the excitement of the game. ”
Stern hung his head in embarrassment, Shay was mocking him for not being able to save the Knicks in the Finals.
Seeing Stern's embarrassed appearance, Shay continued to speak contentedly:
"Thank you to my teammates who have fought with me.
Thank you also to my opponent, after all, without your foil, I would not be so loved~
Especially in this regard, you have contributed the most.
To thank you, I paid out of my own pocket to make three total runner-up rings, and if nothing else, I am now on the way to deliver them, and they will be at your house immediately.
Don't thank my old friend, peace and love. ”
The reporters below smiled, and the joke eased the heavy atmosphere a little.
Jordan, who was watching the live broadcast, stretched out his trembling hand and pulled out the blood pressure medication in the drawer.
Mom sells pipe, Shay, you have to bite me when you retire!
Spike. Lee finally knew what Shay's documentary was best called: "The Last Humiliation".
After a small adjustment, Shay continued to lean closer to the microphone:
"Don't worry, I'm in good health, I have no bad habits, and I have no criminal record.
The reason why I retired is because I don't feel challenged in the NBA anymore, and I don't have the enthusiasm I had when I played basketball.
Hey, when you're also crowned four times in a row, you'll understand.
I think there are so many other things that can be done in life.
And
You have to give a young man like a shark a chance~
For me, having won four in a row has satisfied my competitive spirit.
As for the others, it would be God's mercy to be crowned three times in a row.
But I don't have pity on them, and when a team strong enough to arouse my desire to win comes along, maybe I'll come back and stop you?
Let's hope so~"
Shay's relaxed demeanor and arrogant tone made the reporters call them good guys!
Shay's reason for retiring really shocked the reporters.
Most players retire because they are too old to retire.
Or like Fliggy, who retired because of a serious injury.
There are also those like Mai Buckle's first retirement, who retired because of serious changes in his family and his lack of heart to play.
Of course, there are also people like Drexler who were directly beaten to self-isolation and then retired.
But.
Because he was too strong and felt that the game was boring, he didn't want to play anymore and retired, this Nima is still the first in the world!
The reporters swallowed their saliva, Shay seemed to announce his retirement, but it was actually the biggest beep he had ever done in his career!
"You guys are too weak, I don't want to play anymore", this is simply a reason to retire that will go down in history!
Obviously, at this time, I don't know how many players are so angry that they grit their teeth and want to teach the arrogant Shay a hard lesson.
But they didn't have a chance, they never had a chance again, to touch Shay's greatness.
No matter how unhappy they are, they can only admit that Shay left with a happy ending!
With all that to say, it's time for reporters to ask questions.
The questions from the reporters were very mixed, some asked Shay what he would do next, and some asked if Shay would buy a team and become his own owner.
Some people also asked Shay if he would change careers to WWF, and with Shay's eloquence and fighting ability, he went to ensure that he was a super A-list star.
However, under a bunch of messy questions, one reporter got to the point:
"Shay, you just said that you were going to end your NBA career, not your basketball career.
Does that mean you'll be at the Sydney Olympics in 2000? ”
This question made everyone suddenly discover something, and they all stared at Shay.
Shay hooked the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly: "Yes!" ”
"So, you still want to beat the Dream Team?"
"Yes!"
"In the next year, you will prepare for the Olympics for the Chinese team?"
"Yes!"
There's nothing to be embarrassed to admit, Shay never hides his ambitions!
For a while, the audience was in an uproar.
Defeat the Dream Team? Does Shay really know what he's talking about!?
That's right, he is indeed the first in the world, even the first in history.
But the Dream Team, that's the brightest team in basketball history!
The only thing that is stronger than the Dream Team is the Dream Team itself!
No one took Shay's words seriously, and defeating the Dream Team was just as impossible as defeating Shay.
What everyone is most concerned about is still the retreat of Shay, who is at his peak.
One can see what kind of uproar Shay's press conference caused by his retirement.
That night, the whole world sighed about Shay's strength because of Shay's wayward reason for retiring.
The next day, the headlines of the major newspapers were also dominated by the news of Shay's retirement:
"Retired because you were too strong! Shay is firmly in the position of the first person in history! ”
"Shay means this: even if I retire early, no one will be able to catch up with what I am doing now!"
"By ending his magnificent career in this way, Shay's legend has been finally sublimated!"
The whole world is lamenting Shay's decision, and this way of retiring reflects Shay's confidence and strength.
And Shay's retirement really represents the arrival of a whole era change.
It just so happens that next season is the 99-00 season, which is about to enter the millennium.
The glory of the 90s will remain in the past forever.
Who will create the glory of the 21st century?
Shay's long-held throne is finally vacant at this moment. The successors that Stern had been looking for in advance could finally compete for Shay's dragon robes.
Lakers fans were so grief-stricken that Shay and the Great Western Forum Arena completed their fate.
But compared to the ending itself, the process of Shay's brilliant career is the greatest.
And this process will be forever engraved in the hearts of fans.
The strife of the '90s, Shay, Jordan, Pippen, Barkley, Olajuwon, Ewing, Payton, Kemp, Admiral, Karl. Malone, Stockton, Drexler
This great history will become an eternal classic of the NBA!
At this point, the big four are starting to get ready to try, O'Neal is regrouping, and Hill seems to see a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel.
Malone and Stockton have survived another opponent and are relentlessly waiting for their glory.
And the Holy City Stone Buddha, who has just finished two rookie seasons, is silently peeking at the future of the league with a blank face.
Shay said that the future is mine, he shouldn't lie to me, right?
Laughing to death, Duncan is afraid that he doesn't know, even when he goes out to buy a pack of cigarettes, he can meet a few players who have been promised a future by Shay.
This Jianghu, which is dominated by Shay, will once again fall into a vicious circle of fighting for each other.
The old legend is over, and who can create a new legend in this chaotic era?
But at this time, people don't know the story of the legend, in fact, it is not over yet!
Shay also plans to leave a magnificent ending to his already brilliant legendary career!
Similarly, Stern didn't know at this time that Shay's retirement would have a terrible impact on the alliance he had worked so hard to manage.
The alliance may seem like it's getting the balance they've been dreaming of, but in reality, they're going to lose even more!
People are about to find out that even if he retires, Shay's influence will still affect the basketball world~
