Chapter 283: Xu Yong's Plan

After hugging Thibodeau, Xu Yong turned his head and saw Butler, who was there to celebrate, except for Butler sitting on the bench with his head bowed.

Xu Yong walked over and reached out to touch Butler's shoulder, but Butler did not look up.

However, from Butler's slightly trembling shoulders, Xu Yong could feel that Butler was crying at this time.

Xu Yong can somewhat understand Butler's emotions at the moment, for Butler, because of injuries, this is not a perfect championship, especially compared to the Finals performance in the past two years, but this will make Butler the most moving champion, not only because of this dynasty, but also because of his injury.

Maybe the thought in Butler's mind at this moment is that he has not "influenced" the team dynasty because of himself.

Like, Ross back then.

"We did it, Jimmy." Xu Yong reached out and patted Butler on the shoulder.

Butler still didn't look up, but he nodded there with his head down.

Xu Yong withdrew his hand, knowing that Butler needed time to buffer, he did not continue to bother, but turned his head and walked towards him, and Jokic with a happy face came to a tight hug.

Compared to last year, Jokic is obviously much happier this year.

Whoever said Jokic only likes horse racing, it's just because basketball hasn't brought him enough joy, and this year, he has made a big, if not irreplaceable, contribution to the Bulls' dynasty.

The rest of the Bulls were celebrating, and Joe Johnson was excited because he did the right thing of his career in the offseason;

Yi Jianlian was very excited, although he didn't get too many opportunities, he could still win it at this stage of his career, and it was the third championship, even one more than Yao Ming;

Deron was excited, because he was grateful to the Bulls for the opportunity he gave him to renew his career that was about to end;

West was excited, having already announced his retirement at the start of the season, bringing his career to a successful conclusion.

At this time, the mood seems to be the calmest, and it seems to others to be the most calm, but it should be the one who should be the most excited, rookie Murray.

Murray stood quietly on the sidelines, as a newcomer, as if the title didn't have much to do with him.

"Dejountai, why are you standing in a daze?" Anderson, who noticed him, couldn't help but give him a push.

Murray just smiled after being pushed, but stood there again.

Anderson saw him so boring and didn't want to waste precious time celebrating, so he didn't bother to celebrate himself.

However, Xu Yong, who saw this scene, unconsciously turned his head to see the bench, only to find that Butler had already gotten up at this time, and was communicating with Thibodeau there with red eyes.

When Butler won his first championship with the team, he reacted the same way as Murray.

Murray probably also thinks that the championship won lying down is not so exciting, or Murray can be regarded as "Butler Jr." in a sense.

After a brief celebration, the players returned to the locker room, this time Xu Yong went back a little earlier, and then organized his teammates to give Butler, who arrived a little late, a champagne bath.

This time it wasn't because Butler was the best performer, but because of the importance and spirit of Butler's fight with an injury.

It can be said that if it weren't for Butler's injury, the Bulls' difficulty coefficient for this dynasty would be hellish, or in other words, it would be difficult to complete.

After all, basketball is not a one-man sport, and Thibodeau's trust in Jokic is relatively limited, and the Bulls may not be able to win if you exhaust Xu Yong to death.

After coming out of the locker room, the Bulls returned to the court.

At this time, there was a trance and touching scene at the scene.

In the Bay Area, in Oakland, the crowd has been flooded with fans wearing Bulls jerseys.

They were obviously not here at the beginning, but crowded into the arena until the game was over, and when most of the Warriors fans were allowed to leave the court, they were the first to enter the court.

You know, from the time the Bulls left the court to now, it was probably only ten minutes apart!

From Chicago to Oakland, this love spanning 2,585 kilometers is heavy, and it makes people's hearts flow through a warm current.

"Chicago! Chicago! ”

And when it was time for the award ceremony, when Xiao Hua announced the ownership of the championship, there were deafening cheers at the scene.

This caused everyone on the Bulls to stop celebrating and instead applaud the crowd in response.

Perhaps, this is the most shocking scene when the dynasty is born away from home.

Of course, it is also the moment when the Bulls officially face the two super giants of the Lakers and the Celtics.

Xu Yongchang exhaled, and this scene made his heart shake a little.

However, when he waited for the FMVP award ceremony and saw the scene where Xiao Hua almost forgot Russell again, he strengthened his mind again.

Xu Yong, with an average of 44.5 points, 6.5 boards, 5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks per game in the finals, a 47.2% shooting rate and a 39.2% three-point shooting rate, won the fifth FMVP trophy of his career.

From entering the league in 2009 to the present, he has played 8 seasons, 8 seasons, 5 championships, 5 FMVPs, and 3 MVPs in the league......

His honorable achievements, only that man is left in front of him.

And if the first eight years of his career are limited, maybe the management of the Bulls will face a headache, what to do with the comment of "no one before or after" under Jordan.

And these honors are far from expressing Xu Yong's influence today.

In addition to Xu Yong's personal charm, ability, and strength, this also benefits from the speed of information dissemination brought about by the development of social media.

According to official statistics, the number of online viewers of Xu Yong's dynasty awards ceremony not only surpassed any moment in this year's finals, but also set a new ratings record.

The dynasty is an official god designation, and too many people are looking forward to this moment.

When he got the FMVP and delivered his acceptance speech, Xu Yong didn't say anything like "do it again", or "let's complete the four consecutive championships", he was more thanking the fans.

"The fans are always the group we should be most grateful for, and without them, there would be no point in the existence of this league."

When Xu Yong said the first sentence, the corners of Xiao Hua's mouth twitched involuntarily, although this sounded like an official polite remark, but the degree of this was a little too deep.

"I need your support, and I hope you will always support you, and I hope that the future of the alliance will become better and better."

As Xu Yong's words fell, the cheers at the scene were overwhelming and enduring, and some fans even cried emotionally.

This may seem like an exaggeration, but when a super-idol says these words in the midst of an award-winning thanks, it seems to be expected.

The Bulls' championship parade was unprecedentedly enthusiastic, and Chicago fans went crazy like never before, even because there were some dangerous events that were very characteristic of Emerica.

But this is not the point of this march, the focus of this march is a sentence that Xu Yong said in his speech in the square.

"I'm already thinking about retiring."

This sentence caused laughter at the scene.

Because this time last year, there were rumors about James after the Cavaliers suffered a loss.

This is another golden sentence after the previous "xu is your daay".

And after the victory parade, this phrase also went viral on social media.

Because the Bulls Dynasty and Xu Yongfeng are gods, it is likely that they may have ignored the failure of the cosmic championship and the failure of James to hold together.

But this phrase is enough to make people remember, as well as laugh at them, jokes more, crazier.

"It's still Curry CBA, I actually pulled my crotch in the most critical battle of Tianwang Mountain, that's Tianwang Mountain!!"

"It's all Miles' pot, why doesn't he just refuse to trade Green! If Dedmon had been on the inside and Harris had the firepower off the bench, would the Warriors have lost?! ”

"That's right, it's Myers' pot, why did he choose to let LeBron join?" From the comment of "KBfnas".

"That's not because KD doesn't want to go!"

"Brother, you're so right, if KD goes, the Warriors will definitely win the championship, at least three, but unfortunately he doesn't want to take shortcuts." From the comment of "KBfnas".

"LeBron is really a black sheep, where he can't go, while he still has a contract this year, the management should trade him quickly, otherwise he will run away next year, and he won't get anything by then."

"Although I also think it would be more appropriate to swap him for a 3-and-D and strong center, the management would be slapping themselves in the face and I don't think they would be able to, and now they are in a dilemma."

"There's no hope, the difficulties facing the Warriors next season will only be greater, because the Bulls' Jokic is still growing, and I think if the Warriors want to win the championship, there may really be only Xu Yong retiring, about ten years from now?"

"Almost, at that time, Xu entered the league for exactly eighteen years, and eighteen years later, LeBron was another ...... I'm sorry, but I think LeBron may not have played in the league anymore. ”

What is the hardest road? That's it.

Just as fans were talking about it on social media, Xu Yong's remarks on his personal Twitter quickly diverted everyone's attention.

"I think it's time for the league to do away with the [vertical take-off rule], which has seriously affected the enthusiasm of fans to watch the game."

Xu Yong's point of view is very clear, and he chose to tweet on Twitter, which he rarely posts about, so it brought a lot of topic as soon as it appeared.

This struck a chord with a large number of fans.

"Although I really enjoyed the Niu Yong battle in the past two years, to be honest, this kind of offensive competition made me a little aesthetically fatigued."

"Yes, when you can't jump up and turn around to defend, that pair of centers is a devastating style of play, and it's also a collapse of the NBA defense, except for the Bulls, other teams more or less give me the feeling of a three-point shooting game."

"The NBA in our memory should be a sport full of physical confrontation, a sport that is more competitive, rather than the soft shooting like it is now, which is really boring!"

"I couldn't agree with Xu's words, although I still habitually subscribe to games, but the number of times I watch NBA games has become less, and I also lack the passion of the past, I thought it was aesthetic fatigue, but now I find that the NBA viewing is declining."

"You're so right, brother, the NBA used to be like poison to me, and I wanted to die in front of the TV, but now it's just one of the projects I choose, and even a lot of the time it's just an alternative."

……

Of course, there are also many people who question Xu Yong's approach, after all, no matter how influential Xu Yong is, he is just a player in the final analysis.

No matter how great the player's power is, it is already the limit of interfering with management like James, how can he interfere in the decision-making of the league?

This is equivalent to a worker in the enterprise, and you go directly to the boss to tell the boss that the company's policy is wrong, which seems to be ...... It's not impossible?

No, no, you can't make such an analogy, the players are only responsible for playing well, and even if they really have ideas, they should be mentioned by the players' union, rather than saying it directly.

Of course, some people think that Xu Yong's Twitter account has been stolen.

After all, Xu Yong hasn't updated his news for so long, and suddenly posting such a message is likely to be the practice of some radical fans.

This statement also became the consensus of most fans in the end.

But just a day later, when Xu Yong was asked by a reporter about this matter while participating in an event promotion of the brand, he directly confirmed it.

Moreover, he also said that he had already mentioned it on the night of the champion.

"I think that's better for the fans."

The fans at that time thought that Xu Yong was just an ordinary thanks, but who would have thought that he would be a foreshadowing for this matter.

This quickly brought the whole thing to a breaking point.

Because Xu Yong, this is obviously using his personal influence to negotiate with the alliance.

At this time, I'm afraid Xiao Hua is the most anxious person.

Because the history of the NBA has never said to change a rule that has been in effect for so many years, and at the request of a player, it can even be said to be a little more realistic, coercion.

NBA Headquarters in New York.

When his assistant ran to the office, Xiao Hua was discussing with Tatum about this year's China competition.

The NBA has not stopped playing in China over the years, but the last time the Bulls appeared in China was five years ago.

Of course, this is mainly Tatum's proposal, Xiao Hua is more of a listener anyway, although he is not very concerned about the overseas market, but this kind of pros and cons will not be opposed.

The assistant saw that Tatum was also there, and was hesitating to speak, Xiao Hua motioned for him to say it directly, after all, his assistant he understood, if he couldn't say anything at all, he probably had already gone out first.

When the assistant told the story, Xiao Hua and Tatum reacted diametrically opposed.

Tatum was obviously suppressing his emotions, but his brows and eyes could no longer hide his excitement.

Xiao Hua frowned, grabbed the armrest of the seat, and subconsciously clenched it.

Tatum and Xu Yong are communicating a lot now, although Xu Yong did not say it explicitly, he knew that Xu Yong intended to change the status quo of the alliance.

And Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua naturally doesn't want it.

First, the [ornamentality] of the NBA is rapidly attracting capital, which is also a major reason why spinach joined.

After all, when the defensive intensity of the game itself has decreased, it is much easier to control the score difference and the over/under points.

On the other hand, Xu Yong's approach did not give him and the alliance respect at all, even if you have an idea, you have to report it layer by layer, how can there be such a direct statement in this way without saying a word, which is all a crime in the enterprise, and it is a forced palace behavior.

Xiao Hua finally exhaled, barely suppressed the anger in his chest, and turned to look at Tatum.

It is clear that this is asking for his opinion.

"I think this issue can be discussed, of course, I don't agree with Xu's approach." Tatum euphemistically expressed his attitude.

Tatum's answer was expected by Xiao Hua, but he quickly thought of something, and then nodded with a smile.

This time it was Tatum's turn to be stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had just said something stupid.

How to discuss it?

The Union Committee, of course.

But now with the signing of the spinach contract imminent, Xiao Hua has a great say in the alliance committee.

Moreover, Xiao Hua is good at negotiation, and now it is relatively easy for him to say that the committee does not agree with Xu Yong's proposal.

This is indeed the case.

On the third day of the turmoil in this matter, Xu Yong received a call from Xiao Hua in person.

Xiao Hua's attitude was very polite, and it could even be said that he was a little respectful.

But just like Chang Bai Zuo, he says that he is 100% willing to take in refugees, but if there is a refugee in front of him, he can find 10,000 reasons to refuse.

When you do things alone, you don't have to look at what he says, but what he is ready to do.

Xiao Hua's meaning is probably this: I personally support your idea, because I also followed Stern at the beginning, but this matter is too big, I can only convene the alliance committee to discuss, and the result is that they disagree, thinking that this is illegal to the development of the alliance, and there has never been a precedent, so I can't help it.

Xu Yong laughed in his heart when he heard this, otherwise how to say that these Americans are playing tricks, just like their mathematical ability, they are at the level of elementary school students in front of the Chinese, and this reason can't even make people sound real.

"I see." Xu Yong's answer was very crisp, but it made Xiao Hua over there stunned.

But he didn't explain much, and hung up after saying hello.

This result can be said to be completely unexpected by him.

How could Xiao Hua agree to his proposal, and it was given in this way.

It's part of the plan.

After getting Xu Yong's opinion, the NBA official also quickly gave an attitude that the NBA is developing healthily and rapidly, and the league will not make changes to the existing rules in this situation.

This news is expected by most people.

Inevitably, many people expressed some regret and disappointment.

After all, just like fans said on social media, many of them didn't realize why they lost their enthusiasm for the NBA before, Xu Yong reminded them, and this kind of reminder similar to the emancipation of the mind will not disappear with the official statement.

Of course, this kind of voice of the fans is naturally equivalent to nothing in Xiao Hua's ears.

Not to mention anything else, just take the rule that Xu Yong said, when it was first promulgated, it caused no less controversy than at this time.

But in the end, what should I do?

Although, he still didn't understand Xu Yongti such a thing, and then immediately accepted this result, what is all this for?

Xu Yong: Is this a split personality?

Or did something happen that he didn't know about, but Xu Yong suddenly changed his mind again?

You must know that if Xu Yong insists, he is really not easy to deal with when they have a conflict, after all, Xu Yong's current popularity and influence are too great.

Just when Xiao Hua was immersed in the role of Sherlock Holmes and reasoned about Xu Yong's motives for all this, an incident that happened immediately made his whole person directly petrified.

No, not only him, but fans all over the world were completely shocked.

"I don't think the league I want to play in right now is the league I want to play in, and I'm ready to retire from the NBA."

After getting the reason Xiao Hua created for himself, Xu Yong posted a new personal status on Twitter.

After the dynasty became a god, Xu Yong decided to retire on the spot.
