A breezy breeze blows across the banks of the River Thames, and a dark green Aston Martin sports car sps across Tower Bridge in London.

On both sides of the road, countless cameras were filming the 007 speeding by.

The car stopped as soon as it crossed Tower Bridge, and the photographers on both sides nodded in satisfaction:

"Cards! Very well shot! ”

At this moment, a tall man with a burly figure stepped out of the sports car.

The man looks young, but his actual age and face do not match at all.

It turned out that he was filming an Aston Martin commercial.

And the man who stepped out of the car was the spokesperson of their latest signing.

The brand believes that with his influence, this British sports car brand will definitely gain great attention in both the ugly country and China.

After all, this is Aston Martin's first entry into the Chinese market, and by the way, it will also increase its visibility in the ugly country.

That's right, the man who can have extremely high influence in both China and Uglico is none other than the greatest basketball player in history, a six-time NBA champion and an Olympic champion, Shay!

As soon as Shay got out of the car, countless reporters who had long been impatient came up.

While basketball isn't a very popular sport in England, Shay is an international sports superstar after all. So, the reporters are quite enthusiastic.

"Shay, you and Polina, the principal dancer of the English National Ballet, were photographed before. Seminova had dinner together, are you dating? ”

"What do you think of the sales of coconut shoes in the first three quarters of this year, which surpassed AJ across the board? Do you have any plans to launch a new product in the near future? ”

"Do you support the United States in resuming hanging?"

British reporters, speaking with a thick London accent, asked Shay a garbled question.

Shay also just smiled perfunctorily:

"It's dating, and in London, it's not against the law for single men and women to have sex with each other, right?"

"Oh, what is comprehensively surpassed, the media is just exaggerating, and the sales are only exceeding 100 million points."

"I raise my hands in support!"

Shay laughed as he squeezed out, the car that had come to take him back to the hotel was already waiting.

But at this moment, a very acute question stopped Shay:

"Shay, tell me about the loss of the '08 Olympics."

This question made the chaotic scene instantly quiet.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the sports reporter from Sky Sports.

As a serious sports journalist, he wasn't interested in messy things, he was only interested in sports things.

So, he gets straight to the point!

Everyone swallowed and waited for the Sky reporter to be beaten up by Shay.

Which pot are you not opening to mention!

The lethality of this sentence is no less than that after the Nuggets won the championship, Coach Malone shouted in his speech, "I don't care about the championship, I am only happy to sweep the Lakers." ”

This is purely unsatisfactory life, the gallows is almost unstoppable!

The whole world knows that the results of the '08 Olympics are Shay's scar.

And the reporter had just uncovered Shay's scar in person.

The smile on Shay's face disappeared instantly, but he didn't make a move, nor did he scold, just replied calmly:

"There are wins and losses, and that's competitive sports."

With that, Shay squeezed out of the crowd and got into the car.

Arriving at the hotel room, Shay turned on the TV and lay down on the bed.

On TV, the kind of weather forecast is being broadcast, and I have to say that the weather forecast abroad is really good. It seems that global warming is not just making the East Gold Fever, but many places around the world are hot.

But Shay's attention was completely off the forecast, after all, he had just met with Polina last night. Seminova acted in a passionate and disorienting version of "Swan Lake".

I have to say that the flexibility of professional dancers, that really. Who understands the feeling of a horse?

Well, Shay's refusal to look at the weather forecast wasn't entirely because he had already released it yesterday.

It was because of the reporter's question just now that Shay reminded him of the 2008 Olympics.

Now, it's 2008 and the Olympics are over.

It's been so many years

Shay, staring at the ceiling, fell into the memory.

Since beating Lithuania in Sydney in 2000, he beat Mi Lijia with 56 points in a single game in the final. and became the first player in history to win both the NBA championship and the Olympic championship in addition to the ugly Chinese.

Shay was completely canonized in the basketball world.

With this extremely exaggerated honor, Shay officially retired at the age of 30 and started his retirement life.

It is said to be a retirement, but in fact, it is more accurate to say that it is a different track.

After retiring, Shay focused on the development of his personal brand.

In terms of signing spokespersons, Shay's eyes are still vicious.

Especially in the modeling industry, Shay's brand has been called a "super model egg factory".

Even, young models around the world don't need Shay to look for them, but will send them to their doors, wanting to become Shay's spokesperson, so as to start the road to becoming a supermodel.

Do you dare to imagine? As soon as Shay opens his eyes every day, the little tender model who comes to the door can break through the threshold.

In addition, Shay has also appeared in all walks of life.

For example, in the financial industry, a reporter photographed Shay and Ivanka in and out of the gold coast in Brazil.

For example, in the sports industry, a reporter photographed Shay and a young high jumper sleeping and flying.

For example, recently, Shay has become a literary youth with the dance industry and has become a literary youth~

What else can be said? Shay is such a hardworking and capable man.

Don't ask why Shay is not married, ask is that there are too many bachelors in these years, and it is difficult to find a daughter-in-law.

Shay is a rag seller of clothes and shoes, where is he qualified to find a daughter-in-law?

Although he left the ring, Shay has always been active in the eyes because of his huge influence.

From time to time, as a Lakers celebrity, I will go to the Staples Center in the new arena to watch a game.

And the Lakers also officially retired Shay's No. 23 jersey in 2003.

And in the same year, Pat. Riley also announced that the Heat will also retire Shay's No. 23 jersey!

If nothing else, just because Shay is great enough! Although Shay didn't play for the Heat, Riley decided to show respect for Shay in this way!

It's not for nothing that people miss Shay so much and respect Shay so much.

Because for so many years, there is indeed no one who can take over Shay's banner of "the first person in basketball".

At first, it was assumed that the shark would be the one who took the scepter of the age from Shay.

In the 00-01 season, the OK combination of O'Neal and Kobe Bryant won the championship again, becoming the first team to win consecutive championships in the 00s.

That year, their opponent in the finals was the Spurs led by the Holy City Stone Buddha.

But because the admiral was no longer at his peak, Duncan had not yet waited for his two foreign guard helpers.

So, in the end, the Spurs were swept by the Knicks 4-1 gentlemen.

The Knicks' finals are actually easier than the Eastern Conference finals.

After all, in the Eastern Conference Finals, their opponents are the Philadelphia 76ers of AI and KG.

Iverson didn't go it alone, but Garnett's arrival only allowed the 76ers to win two more games.

In the end, in the tiebreaker, the Sharks still relied on their stronger dominance to kill the inside line of Philadelphia.

However, in that round of the series, Iverson's average points per game was a terrifying 39.6 points!

Relying on the amazing performance of this round of the series, Iverson is still glorious despite defeat, and it is completely popular all over the world.

In this way, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant stood on the shoulders of other young talents and lifted the championship trophy again.

The Knicks won two straight championships in the two seasons Shay retired, and O'Neal and Kobe looked like they had the best chance of being Shay's successors.

At the time, the world was also waiting for the Knicks to build a three-peat.

Because Shay said that if there is a team that interests him, if there is a team that he wants to beat, he will come back!

And if the Knicks win three consecutive championships, then fans will have reason to urge Shay to come back quickly.

Between O'Neal's strong dominance and Kobe's rapid growth, almost everyone feels that the Knicks' triple championship is a sure thing.

Who knew that in the 01-02 season, the long-dormant Chicagoans have sprung up!

The Chicago Bulls, composed of Yao Ming, Maddy, Nowitzki and AK47, won the OK combination that was in the midst of infighting in the Eastern Conference Finals and successfully reached the Finals in the post-Jordan era!

Back in the offseason after the 99-00 season, the Bulls made a trade to trade Kees, who was in his prime. Van Horn and talented guard Ron who averages 16+3+3 per game. Mosel.

Traded from Dallas to get Dirk, who was not recognized at the time. Nowitzki!

At that time, Nowitzki was not an All-Star, he had not yet made the All-Star team, and the best German player in people's minds at that time was still Schramf.

Nowitzki has no advantage over Van Horne other than his age and height.

With the Bulls still willing to take Moser, a 24-year-old potential guard, the Mavericks ultimately failed to resist the temptation.

Of course, the most important reason for the Mavericks to trade away from Nowitzki was that Mark. Cuban has not bought the team yet. Otherwise, he would not have agreed.

And the reason why the Bulls want to exchange for Nowitzki is not because of how strong Nowitzki is, but because they feel that Van Horne has no desire to win.

That good gentleman has always focused on his family, and he doesn't sweat when he plays. If you can win with 10 points, you will never get 11 points.

It's just the first generation of mouth brothers.

Accustomed to the competitive Jordan, where can Klaus stand this kind of player, so he sent him to Dallas in exchange for Nowitzki of the same type.

At the time, few people cared about the deal.

The Bulls' lineup did have a lot of problems in the run-in in the first year. And the team's outside defense is too average, and it is difficult for Maddie to stand alone.

So although the Bulls reached the second round of the playoffs that year, they still lost to the 76ers.

In the 01-02 season, with the Lakers legend, Shay's former teammate Nate . McMillan picked up the whip to coach the Bulls, and the late AK47 finally arrived in Chicago.

And with Maddie, Nowitzki and Yao Ming all starting to reach the top.

Thus, the Chicago Bulls began their brutal rule over the East!

That season, the Knicks' conflict due to OK disagreement has been completely and openly intensified, and O'Neal missed 15 games due to injury, so the Knicks only won 58 in the regular season.

The Chicago Bulls won a staggering 67 wins in one fell swoop!

But Knicks fans weren't nervous, and the Lakers still won the championship in eighth place in the West that year. We're just falling to second place in the East, so it's not a big problem!

Three consecutive championships, we are determined to win!

But the end result was that the Bulls finally defeated the Knicks 4-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

O'Neal was no longer reckless in front of Yao Ming, and Kobe Bryant almost smashed the basket under the joint encirclement of Maddie and AK47.

Nowitzki's overly soft style of play is just right for Yao Ming. Because of Yao Ming's threat from the inside line, the German tanks were given many opportunities to fire from a distance.

In fact, the Bulls should have swept the Knicks 4-1.

But in the series G5, Cao Caoyu accidentally shot a killer shot outside the three-point line, allowing the Knicks to win G5.

But this victory only delayed the death of the Knicks, and could not change the final outcome.

In the end, the Knicks still had a three-game championship dream shattered, and the Bulls also successfully won the Suns who returned to the Finals and successfully reached the top!

Shay was actually quite surprised at the time, the Bulls lineup was simply cheating!

The Bulls, who have not won a championship since Jordan retired, actually returned to the championship in 2002.

As it turns out, although Shay has retired, he is still bringing all sorts of butterfly effects to the world.

Well, now people think that it will be Yao Ming and Maddie who will succeed Shay in ruling the alliance.

On paper, the Bulls' lineup is already invincible.

Chicago fans are also excited, and they feel that the team may be able to do something that Jordan failed to do – three consecutive championships.

Lakers fans are also very excited, such a strong Bull will definitely be able to force Shay to make a comeback, and sure enough, the Bulls are Shay's eternal enemy!

As a result, the big surprise is.

The Bulls didn't even make it to two consecutive championships!

In the Eastern Conference Finals in the 02-03 season, Yao Ming's accidental injury gave the Knicks a chance to get revenge.

In that round, Kobe Bryant was simply a cold-blooded killer, and he was playing with the mentality of "never give up until the Bulls die".

Because he was defeated by the Bulls, he spent the entire offseason pushing himself wildly.

This man, whose heart is as small as the palm of his hand, faced Maddie, who eliminated him last season, averaged 32.3 points per game and a 44.1% three-point shooting rate in the series!

On the other hand, Maddy, under the entanglement of Kobe, as the scoring champion in the regular season, only scored 27.5 points in that round of the series, and his shooting rate was just over 40%.

And in this round of the series, Maddie sacrificed his famous scene.

At that time, the Bulls led the series 3-2, and Maddie also laughed and said at the press conference: "I'm already thinking about the opponent in the Finals." ”

This boy, who has watched Shay pretend to beep since he was a child, finally has a chance to imitate Shay!

But who knew that after he said this, the Knicks won the series in two games in a row, leaving Maddie alone in the wind.

Aren't we friends!? Why are you slapping my face so hard!?

Dirk, you don't care about him!

Laughing to death, Dirk can't protect himself.

Without Yao Ming's containment, Nowitzki had a super overturn in this round of the series. The shooting percentage is also just over 40 percent, and the three-point shooting rate is only 28 percent.

He was also labeled as a "soft egg" as a result.

Many people may not believe it, but the hardest man in this round of the Bulls is AK47 as a role player.

Although Yao Ming is injured, in fact, if Maddie and Dirk are tougher, the Bulls still have a chance to win.

But there is no way, Maddie and Dirk in this period are really choking enough to fight tough battles.

And just like that, the Knicks take revenge on the bulls. The seemingly invincible bull doesn't even have a chance to win two consecutive championships, let alone three consecutive championships.

But just when Kobe Bryant and O'Neal thought they could lift the third championship trophy, the Holy City Stone Buddha smiled slightly and taught the OK group what it means to compete for fishermen and profit on the spot.

The Knicks, exhausted after seven games, were simply powerless in the face of the Spurs' tight and tough defense in the finals.

In addition, O'Neal was dissatisfied with the fact that Kobe Bryant was already sitting on top of his head, so he was full of only wanting to attack and not care about defense at all.

As a result, Tim. Duncan played the best round of the finals of his career.

Duncan in '03 has been perfected.

He led the team to a 60-22 record in the regular season, averaging 23.3 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.9 blocks per game.

In the playoffs, he averaged 24.7 points, 15.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 3.3 blocks per game, which was an increase from the regular season.

In the finals against the OK Knicks, Duncan averaged 28 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.3 blocks per game.

And in the sixth game, he scored 21 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, and 8 blocks for a terrifying quasi-quadruple-double!

Finally, this ten-mile slope sword god has achieved positive results in the NBA.

Duncan's historic and powerful performance made the arrogant Sir Charles Flying Pig exclaim: "From now on, Carl and I. Malone can only compete for the position of the second biggest striker in history! ”

When he won the championship, Duncan, who had always been reticent, couldn't help but shout: "Many years ago, Shay told me that the future is mine!" Today, I finally cashed in! ”

Kobe, Hill: ???

Wait, that's what Shay told us!

Well, both the Knicks and the Bulls are on their knees.

So, Duncan is so Liu beep, he should always be able to rule this era, right?

He must have been able to force Shay out of the mountain, right?

At that time, people also interviewed Shay, and Shay also bluntly said: "If Duncan wins two consecutive championships, I will come back!" ”

As a result, in 2004, the greatest civilian championship in basketball history appeared.

In '04, the OK group had already existed in name only. Although they are not divorced yet, they are already in a state of playing their own games.

In '04, the Bulls left Maddie because he didn't want to be the scoring champion himself, and the tactical low post was below Yao Ming. So, he was clamoring to leave, and the Bulls had to send him to Vancouver in exchange for All-Star guard Francis.

But it's clear that Francis and Maddy aren't players at the same level, and the Bulls' dominance has been greatly reduced.

In 04, Duncan, who was just at his peak, was attacked by plantar fasciitis.

In '04, the Pistons had Big Ben, Rashid, Little Prince, Hamilton, Billups and Milicic who wasn't scrapped. Because at this time, the coach of the Pistons is Carlisle, the former six-crown coach!

Because the Lakers were depressed after Shay's retirement, and the elder Buss was unwilling to pay a high salary and pay the luxury tax if he couldn't win the championship.

So both Billups and Omoto chose to follow Carlisle after their contracts expired and joined the Pistons on a free transfer in the offseason.

And this seemingly inconspicuous Pistons stood out on defense among the giants.

In the fiercely competitive east, he fought his way out and successfully won the championship.

Pistons fans are boiling, and after the glory of the 80s, they have survived the blank 90s and finally returned to the top in 2004!

But Lakers fans cried.

It's been five seasons since Shay retired, and the league has produced four championships.

The Knicks, Bulls, Spurs and Pistons take turns in the bank.

The OK combination swept the league, Yao Medek picked up AK47 and went on a killing spree, the nerd played a legendary season, and the civilian piston broke the sky.

Every time, it was felt like one of the champions could rule the league.

But each time, they couldn't keep their throne.

The alliance is simply a mess in the world!

And without an opponent who can dominate the league, Shay will not come back, you say Lakers fans can not cry!

Now Shay is also 34 years old.

In other words, even if there is a strong enough team in the future, the chances of Shay's comeback are already very small!

And after the Pistons won the championship, Shay became popular again.

Although the Pistons won the championship and Shay's half-dime, because the Pistons and Spurs' Finals ratings hit a record low, the defensive battle between the two teams made fans sleepy.

So Stern decided that the league officially entered the No Handcheck era!

The defensive rules that were put in place to limit Shay seem a little too difficult for the other players at the moment.

This season, the league is averaging just 93 points per game. Ten years ago, that number was 105 points.

This season, Maddy, the league's leading scorer, has only 28 points, and there is no other player who averages 25 points per game.

Ten years ago, O'Neal and Admiral averaged nearly 30 points per game!

The existing defensive rules make it more difficult to attack, which is very detrimental to the league.

So Stern decided to change the rules to make it easier to attack.

This move made Shay explode again after many years, because under the same rules, Shay's score was not affected at all, and it did not even affect him to create the Black Eight Miracle.

And today's young people can only rely on relaxing the rules to get more points, which is simply laughing off their teeth!

For a while, all kinds of remarks that boasted Shay poured out again:

"Seriously, now these superstars go to Shay's era, and they can't touch the side of the championship."

"Jordan, the second millennium in the 90s, might be able to win eight consecutive championships if he played in this era!"

"Don't talk about Jordan, Barkley's kind of waste is definitely more than two championships in this era. No, Drexler can lead the team to win the championship if he comes! ”

Drexler's historical status has risen again!

In the future, he will simply stop calling a glider and call it a helicopter.

Since retiring, this status has been rising!

In the end, people can only sigh with emotion: Shay is really fucking strong! I miss a superstar like him!

In the season after the rules change, the scoring stats of outside players are indeed good, but the league is still in disarray, and there is no ruler like Shay.

In 2005, after Ginobili and Parker grew up, King Duncan returned.

In 2006, the mature Yao Ming, Dirk and AK47 struggled to win the second crown. The most embarrassing thing at the moment is undoubtedly Maddy, because the Bulls proved that without him, the team can still win the championship.

In 2007, Paul. Gasol and Artest landed in New York, and Kobe, who was holding his breath, finally won his third championship after six years, and laughed at the sharks in Miami:

"Shaq, now I have one more than you! You and your class of '03 imps are envious! ”

Well, because the East in this history is too rolly, the Sharks and Wade's heat can't rush out at all.

Seeing that more than halfway through the first decade of the 21st century, no one has been able to dominate the league three times in a row.

Thinking of this, Shay, who was staring at the ceiling, was interrupted by a ringing phone.

He picked up his phone and the caller ID was Jerry. Bass, the old man who is 73 years old but still keeps a few fresh fruits a day.

Shay looked at the original smartphone in his hand and couldn't help but feel that time had flown by. The first time he spoke to old Buzz on the phone, he couldn't even text on his phone.

After a trance, Shay answered the phone:

"Hey Jerry."

"Hey Shay, I hope it didn't bother you on a date with your little English National Ballet girlfriend."

"What date? We're talking about art! ”

"Ah, yes, yes, when I was younger, I loved to talk about art. I understand the heart of literary and artistic youth! ”

After a gag between the two, old Bass began to get into the topic:

"Uh, everything in 2008 may not be as good as it could be but. Are you still interested in chatting? Let's talk about next season! ”

At this, Shay sighed.

Memories also continue.

After Kobe Bryant won the championship in 2007 to now, the bad memories of this year began to roll in Shay's mind

Thank you for the tip, thank you!
