Antetokounmpo's expression stiffened, he was swept in the finals a few years ago, and he was eliminated and given away again a few years later, and in a trance he felt as if he was walking on the path that someone had walked.

This time, when it was time for the post-match handshake, Xu Yong also reversed course and expressed his approval to Leonard.

It's not that the future is yours, it's that I really want him to stay healthy.

The NBA is fiercely competitive, but ultimately it is a league that needs superstars to broaden and maintain their influence.

Although Leonard has been stepped on as in history, there have been no controversial events, and the strength is here again, which is much more worthy than the likes of Antetokounmpo and James.

By the end of the handshake, the Mavericks had their dynastic moment.

Xu Yong turned his head and saw Ross, who had already cried into tears.

I can't remember the first time he cried when he saw Rose, who was still an emotional person at heart.

But this time the crying is obviously different from the past few times, and this time it was really too excited.

June 20, 2015, he will always remember that day, because on the balcony of their house, they made a dream of a dynasty.

It's June 20, 2022, and seven years later, they've finally fulfilled their dream.

What could be more exciting?

Next to Rose, there is a little guy who is also very excited, and that is Bane, a rookie on this year's team.

Completely different from Poole's personality, Bane has a very low-key personality and has been extremely disciplined and hardworking since entering the team.

This reminded Xu Yong of Murray, who is now a starter with the Bulls.

It's just that the source of all this is different from Murray, who is because of the twists and turns of his childhood, while Bane is much simpler.

He had predicted a mid-first-round prospect in the draft that year, and he was promised a draft pick from the Pistons, who had the No. 16 pick at the time.

But in the end, he dropped to the 30th pick and was drafted by the Mavericks.

So he has been holding back a force in his heart, a force that wants to prove himself.

He took every opportunity he could to make his efforts, including learning from Rose.

Although Rose's strength has been declining due to injuries and illness, his experience, including the life experience he has brought with these experiences, is a priceless asset.

And because of Xu Yong's relationship, Ross has a good impression of Bane, a person who is similar to Xu Yong's diligence and self-discipline, and is willing to teach him by word and deed.

Therefore, for the Mavericks, losing Poole and gaining Bane is not necessarily a loss.

At this moment, a person also came over and hugged Xu Yong with red eyes, it was Xu Yong's sword-wielding guard Tai Gibson in the past two years.

Gibson left the Bulls at the beginning, and then he was displaced, but he was able to win the championship with Yi at the end of his career, the key is that someone dared to make moves against Xu Yong on the court over the years, he was charging forward, and now he has finally succeeded.

After the celebration, the Mavericks waved to the fans who were still there.

Although this is not their home stadium, at this moment, the fans who are still on the scene are the biggest cheers and applause to the Mavericks or Xu Yong.

It is still uncertain which of the two dynasties of Jordan and Xu Yong is more difficult, or it is still difficult to distinguish between them, but the achievement of this dynasty has allowed Xu Yong to reach the top of history without a trace of suspense.

How could they not have applauded and cheered after witnessing such a historic moment?

Xu Yong was elected FMVP without any suspense, and he once again received the 8th FMVP trophy of his career from Kobe.

When Kobe Bryant handed it over, except for the expression of blessing, the only thing left was admiration.

Xu Yong also gave his acceptance speech again, but this time it was very concise.

"It's not over yet."

When Seo Yong has completed another dynasty in Dallas, fans are most concerned about his desire to play.

You must know that when Jordan retired for the first time, in addition to family changes, another important reason was that he lost motivation for basketball.

After all, when you can crush the era, even suffocate the superstars of the era, you instinctively resist the sport.

In particular, Xu Yong has become a dynasty in the two teams and has also completed the MVP three times in a row, which is even higher than Jordan.

But Xu Yong gave everyone, or a signal to himself: it's not over yet.

At least one more achievement he has to chase, four consecutive championships.

Except for the period when there were only a few teams in the league in ancient times, the later teams were at most three in a row, whether it was Jordan or OK, it was always interrupted for one reason or another, and now Xu Yong has such an opportunity.

Xu Yong had that goal in mind, but the following season, he quickly experienced the pressure of overcoming a four-game winning streak.

At this time, the most important reference is the Lakers in the OK period back then.

That Lakers team was ostensibly due to internal conflicts within OK, and Kobe's eagerness to get on the bench caused the team to split internally, but that problem has actually been ongoing.

In fact, even if O'Neal willfully chose surgery at the beginning of the season and said things like "my injury is a work injury, so I should recuperate during working hours", the Lakers finally completed the dynasty.

The real pressure they face is more from the outside.

A team that wins championships all the time is a huge blow to the passion of investors in the rest of the league, after all, when you know that you can't win no matter how much money you throw at it, what motivates you to do it?

So in order to change that, i.e., to increase the motivation of investors, the league will inevitably introduce rules to limit this team.

It doesn't matter who the president of the league is, even if it's Tatum, he has to choose to do the same thing as Stern.

Before, it was because the league liked Xu Yong's accomplishments in Dallas, but now the situation is clearly different.

That is, in the 2022~2023 season, the league introduced a very targeted rule, and the reasons given are also very good.

In order to consolidate the dominance of the U.S. national team in the world, the league will move closer to the rules of world basketball in some rules.

In the past, the NBA was very arrogant in this regard, which is also the reason why NBA players will always fail to play because of the different rules when they go to the international arena.

But now, after thirteen years of not reaching the top, there is bound to be some change in the thinking of the top management.

And the most important rule change is this: the elimination of the defense for three seconds.

This rule did not originally exist in the NBA, and it was created to limit O'Neal, the OK Lakers.

But now, the center of the league is withering, even if the [vertical jump rule] is canceled, because the space inside line makes the center not strong, so this rule is also to further increase the presence of the inside line.

Of course, more importantly, this is for the Mavericks.

Jokic is not an interior player who is good at defense and confrontation, and the existence of this rule restricts him on both offensive and defensive ends.

And without defense for three seconds, the interior will turn into hand-to-hand combat again.

To sum up, this is a reinforcement for teams that are good at defense, such as the Bulls, and it can also be regarded as a wave of retro style.

The Mavericks' performance and record this season have dropped significantly compared to previous seasons, while the Bulls have shown dominance in the East.

At the end of the season, the Bulls had the best record in the league, and the Mavericks had the best record in the West, despite their twists and turns.

Of course, compared to the record, the fans are happy this season.

In the eyes of Xiao Hua, the former president of the league, the word "game enjoyment" is high scores and brushing points, but in the eyes of fans, it is diametrically opposed.

In the era before Xu's rebirth, fans were much more enthusiastic about international games than the NBA.

On the one hand, because it is more real than the NBA, and on the other hand, it is more pure because there are not so many rules.

This season's NBA feels like this in the eyes of fans.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the ratings, which are higher than last season in the NBA.

Especially when it comes to the playoffs, the ratings are climbing.

The Mavericks' journey to the playoffs this year has also been a bumpy one, as they didn't have any problems in the first round, but they met the Grizzlies in the second round, and were forced to a tiebreaker by their opponents under the new rules and the Grizzlies' further maturity.

Then, as expected, Xu Yong dominated the tiebreaker, scoring 51 points alone under the Grizzlies' impregnable defense, reminding everyone of one thing with his performance, FIBA rules, the international arena, and the dream team are not good in front of Xu Yong.

Or in other words, one generation of versions and one generation of gods, but Xu Yong's old and new versions can be adapted.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Mavericks and Thunder met again.

Another round to the tie-break final, and then almost the same script, Xu Yong once again dominated the tie-break.

By the time the final whistle blew, Durant stared at the screen for a long time.

When he reached the top with Si Shao, he thought it was the beginning of the peak, but he didn't expect it to be the end.

With Xu Yongzai, he can't do it anymore.

Xu Yong came over at this time and took the initiative to give Durant a big hug, and also said some words of cheering.

Even in the years before his rebirth, Barkley's reputation was much better than James's.

Oh yes, James is seventh in the West this year, and they don't have a chance to meet in the playoffs.

In the Finals, the Mavericks and Bulls met again.

Almost the same as the previous rounds, the two teams played inseparable, and the first four games were tied 2-2, and then they went to Tianwang Mountain.

This year's finals also saw a new high in viewership.

However, just when everyone thought that there would be a tie-break battle in the finals, Xu Yong had two consecutive highlights, especially the battle of Tianwang Mountain, where he scored a 50+ triple-double in the finals and subdued the Bulls by himself.

In the last G6, the entire morale of the Mavericks has been completely driven by Xu Yong, who led them all the way from the beginning, and finally withstood the Bulls' wave of counterattacks, and finally successfully reached the top.

At the end of the game, Xu Yong threw punches excitedly, hitting his chest with his teammates one by one, looking extremely excited.

Four consecutive championships, a new record was born at this moment.

"Is there anything Xu hasn't finished? I don't think there's anymore, he rules everything. ”

As Barkley said on Championship Night, after winning this title, Xu Yong has done everything he can.

It was also in this summer that Xu Yong announced that he would retire again.

This time he retired for a very simple reason: basketball was no longer a challenge for him.

While the 33-year-old can still achieve more, he wants to spend more time with his family, who hasn't been able to spend more than a decade with him.

"My mom used to living in a city called Shanghai, we only see each other about once a year, she doesn't even know how much taller I've grown this year, and my wife is alone to take care of our children, and she gave up her career for this."

"My departure is a new opportunity for others, and I don't think it's entirely a bad thing." Finally, he addressed everyone.

Looking back on his entire career, Xu Yong's life is legendary, and he is worthy of the description of the GOAT under the Chicago sculpture.

He was drafted by the Grizzlies with the second overall pick in 2009 and then traded to the Bulls, where he beat Tyrek Evans to win the Rookie of the Year that season.

(In the 2009~2010 season, he averaged 19.6 points, 4.2 boards, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, shooting 46.8% from the field and 39.2% from three-point range)

In 2011, he helped the team win the championship as the second leader, and won the FMVP with an outstanding performance in the finals.

(In the 2010~2011 season, he averaged 23.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 50.2% from the field and 41.2% from three-point range)

In 2012, he grew into the team's leader, led the team to complete the title defense, won the first MVP trophy of his career, and was re-elected as FMVP.

(In the 2011~2012 season, he averaged 28.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, with a 49% shooting rate and a 38.3% three-point shooting rate)

(In the 2012~2013 season, he averaged 32.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, with a shooting rate of 49.5% and a three-point shooting rate of 36.3%)

In 2014, the team was at its lowest point, giving up the ball to Butler.

(In the 2013~2014 season, he averaged 28.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, with a shooting rate of 51.6% and a three-point shooting rate of 39%)

In 2015, the king returned, led the team to regain the championship, and won the MVP and FMVP for the third time.

(In the 2014~2105 season, he averaged 31.5 points, 7.2 boards, 5.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, 52.6% shooting percentage, 40.2% three-point shooting rate)

In 2016, although he failed to continue to win the MVP, he won the first DPOY of his career and led the team to defend the title again.

(In the 2015~2016 season, he averaged 30.5 points, 6 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, and the three-point shooting rate was 51.9%/39.4%/88.4% respectively)

In 2017, he led the team to complete the dynasty and reaped full honors, winning MVP/DPOY/FMVP, but unfortunately failed to complete the MVP three times because he missed the MVP last season.

(In the 2016~2017 season, he averaged 30.6 points, 7.5 boards, 6.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, and the three-point shooting rate was 51.9%/41.4%/90.4% respectively)

He retired in the summer of 2017 and became an assistant coach at Arizona State University.

In February 2019, he announced that he would pay for the Mavericks and led the team to the Western Conference finals.

(In the 2018~2019 season, he played 22 games in his comeback, averaging 27 points, 7 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, shooting 45.7% from the field and 36.5% from three-point range)

In 2020, he led the renamed Mavericks team to the top of the park and won MVP and FMVP again.

(In the 2019~2020 season, he averaged 31.2 points, 7.2 boards, 4.5 assists, 2.7 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, shooting 48.7% from the field and 38.5% from three-point range)

In the 2021 shrinking season, the playoffs reopened the arena to the public, and the Mavericks defended their title after the pandemic opened, and won MVP and FMVP for consecutive years.

(In the 2020~2021 season, he averaged 29.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, shooting 50.7% from the field and 38.2% from three-point range)

In the first full season after the epidemic in 2022, Xu Yong led the second team to complete three consecutive games in his career, and was the first triple MVP in his career.

(In the 2021~2022 season, he averaged 33.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, shooting 51.7% from the field and 37.4% from three-point range)

In 2023, he led the team to complete an unprecedented four consecutive championships.

(In the 2022~2023 season, he averaged 30.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, shooting 49.7% from the field and 35.4% from three-point range)

Counting the short season of his comeback, Xu Yong played a total of 13 seasons, and the final honor statistics are, 7 MVP, 9 FMVP, 5 AMVP, 9 championships, 12 All-Star votes, 9 best teams, 8 best defensive teams, one dpoy, one Most Improved Award, and one best rookie.

Maybe this glory is not so dazzling in the long river of history, after all, just like the experience of Xu Yong before his rebirth, someone will turn themselves into the longest river and then compete with the highest mountain.

But as long as you look at it, 9 championships in 13 seasons, such an achievement is unprecedented.

After Xu Yong announced his retirement, although he understood the original intention of Xu Yong's decision, the NBA still lost a large part of his attention again because of his retirement.

It's just that in the new season, fans quickly discovered that after experiencing the change of the league's rules, the stars still played a wonderful season as if they had undergone a baptism.

With Xu Yong's departure this time, the NBA quickly presented an era of a hundred flowers.

And Xu Yong, at this time, was sitting on a bench by the sea, enjoying the time spent with his family.

A sea breeze blew, and he turned his head just in time to see D'Addario and the four children playing.

……

In 2034, Xu Hao was selected by the Chicago Bulls with the first pick in the first round.

In the same year, Xu Yong, who had been away from the league for 11 years and was 44 years old, announced his comeback with the Bulls.

People were surprised to find that although the 44-year-old Xu Yong was already a lot older, his physical function looked like other people were about 35 years old.

And in the first game of his comeback, he actually got 25 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

If it weren't for the fact that he was Satan, he would probably have been pulled to slice.

That's what many fans have in mind.

A short testimonial

Report the results, now the average is 5500, and the chase is 1700.

The first order of this book was 2100, and at that time, because the follow-up reading was not as good as the same period before it took many weeks to go to Sanjiang, because at that time, the history had just failed to come back, and there was no rest in the middle, and there were some problems with the early writing and the choice of theme.

But I can write it back later, which means that my state is slowly adjusting back.

If it weren't for a few illnesses in the middle, the average order should be able to go up to 6000.

It's not great, but it's not bad for me, and I would like to thank you all for your continued support.

To summarize the content of this book, I have made progress in the plot, although the rhythm is relatively fast, but there is no water competition, and the basic content is the plot.

And then the bad part is that the rhythm is a little too fast (1.6 million words written for 13 seasons), and some characters don't stand up.

The reason why the Lone Ranger was so fast in the end was because there was actually no sense of expectation, and after hesitating for two days, I finally chose the Lone Ranger, but the plot I saw through at a glance, if I chose the Lakers or the like, I still had some sense of expectation, and I didn't choose it well.

In addition, I am more tired, although this book has not been written for a long time, but since the beginning of the transformation history, I have been working for more than ten hours a day, and it has been more than a year, and people can't bear it, otherwise they won't always get sick in the future.

Finally, let's talk about the new book, I should write another basketball book, but I will strive to pursue innovation, I will not write this kind of step-by-step, I now pay more attention to the sense of expectation and personality, these two aspects are not good, I have been writing for so long and I am not interested in writing.

I will take a break for a while, take care of my body, and think about it, thank you for your continued support in this book, and see you in the next book.
