Chapter 918 What I Want To Do But Can't Do
After the finals.

The Lakers announced that Kobe had ruptured his left Achilles tendon.

"Suffering such a terrible injury at the age of 35, will Kobe return? Let's pray for him together."

Bryant's serious injury is just one of the problems facing the Lakers, followed by the issue of Howard and Paul's contract extensions.

Last season, the Lakers wanted to renew Paul early, but Paul refused.

After joining the Lakers, Paul ushered in the pinnacle of his career. He not only touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals, but also reached the Finals with the team.

Everyone thought that Paul would stay with the Lakers, but in the end, he and Howard announced to test the free market during the offseason.

A person familiar with the matter revealed: Howard has always been dissatisfied with his possession of the ball, and Kobe's toughness troubled him very much.

Roadside agency: Howard said he was not happy enough in Los Angeles.

Insider who did not want to be named: Paul is willing to stay in Los Angeles if Howard wants to stay. If Howard leaves, he is not willing to accompany Kobe to retire.

The majestic Lakers actually faced solving problems during the offseason, which really exceeded the expectations of the outside world.

The Lakers' failure also raises an odd but interesting and well-documented argument: Super teams die in their first year.

The Cosmic Super Lakers F2004 in 4 was killed by grassroots pistons.

In 2008, he was invincible all over the world, known as the strongest Celtic in history, and was killed by the white wolf.

In 2011, the three masters of the golden generation were combined, and the Super Heat, who claimed to be crowned countless times in a row, was killed by the old Mavericks.

And, the 13 Lakers who gathered three first-team members and made countless people say "the Lakers will eat shit if they don't win the championship" were killed by the Heat's Big Three who had survived the "curse".

Since the beginning of the 21st century, no team has succeeded in the first year of forming a super team.

At the end of June, the 2013 rookie who was unanimously looked down upon by people from all walks of life entered the NBA.

Cleveland unexpectedly selected Anthony Bennett with the No. [-] pick.

In early July, shocking news continued.

Yahoo Sports released a blockbuster news: Kevin Garnett has agreed to trade to the Nets!

The Celtics will trade Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Nets, with Garnett waiving his trade veto.

ESPN subsequently confirmed the report that the Nets will get Jason Terry in addition to Garnett and Pierce.The Celtics got the chips: 2014, 2016 and 2018 first-round picks, as well as Chris Humphries, Gerald Wallace, Reggie Evans, Keith Bogans And basic salary player Chris Joseph.

This news means that the era of the Celtics' Big Four is over.

This luxurious team formed in 2008 lasted for five years. Although they did not win a championship, they will definitely become a team that will be remembered by everyone.

In August, Yao Yueban announced his retirement.

In recent years, injuries have plagued the giant from China, and finally broke him, and he can no longer ride the court.

"Yao Yueban has left and left behind a string of great performances. Excluding those data that are clearly listed in the history of the Rockets, his honors include three times the second team of the best team and three times the third team of the best team. Two times He was the MVP of the first Asian Championships, won the World Championships with the Chinese team in 2006, and was selected as the best team of the World Championships together with the White Wolf."

"If you want to unveil the veil of White Wolf's great national team career, Yao Yueban is a name that cannot be avoided. The two of them complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and together created the best era of Chinese basketball."

Hearing the news of Yao Yueban's retirement, Bai Jidong felt melancholy.

Yao Yueban was three years younger than him, and unexpectedly left the arena before him.

"What are you thinking about? You have to concentrate on fishing." Harvey picked up a biting fish.

"Anke, tell me, the older you get, the easier it is to miss the past? Do you miss the past?" Bai Jidong asked.

"Fuck the past! The devil misses the past! Boy, if you've been on the battlefield, you wouldn't say that." Harvey yelled.

Bai Jidong hissed, "Time is quiet, why are you so irritable? You scared all my fish away."

"Fucking time is good, you can fish here easily because there are many people whose names you don't even know to help you protect yourself from the hail of bullets," Harvey said.

Bai Jidong didn't want to entangle this topic with this veteran, even if someone helped him shield him from the hail of bullets, it wasn't an American soldier.

"I always feel more and more boring, with no goal, no end, and no direction." Bai Jidong said flatly.

Harvey said: "That's because your life is too stable, it's time to find some new fun, kid."

"You are very old, what else can you do?"

"The question now is not what I can do, but what I want to do," Harvey said. "I'm already at this age, what are you afraid of?"

"So what are you going to do?" Bai Jidong found that since he reconciled with his family, the old man has become much more lively, and he is a bit about to keep up with the tail of the times.

Harvey said: "I signed up for a middle-aged and elderly football team, and I will start formal training in a few days."

Bai Jidong stared dumbfounded, "Huh? Rugby? You?"

"Any questions?"

"Okay, I see. What kind of flowers do you like?" Bai Jidong asked.

"Lanhua, what's wrong?"

"OK, on ​​the day of your funeral, I will present you with a beautiful orchid to commemorate your nonsense life." Bai Jidong said as if Harvey was about to go to the battlefield.

Harvey snorted, "Don't be ridiculous! Even the bullets on the battlefield can't kill me. What's the big deal about football?"

"When you are sent to the hospital and are dying, you will know how great football is." Bai Jidong's dejected words followed one after another.

Harvey didn't believe this evil, and choked Bai Jidong back, "I want to see who is more ruthless, do those bastards know what the battlefield is like? Have they seen the bloody corpses that were blown up? "

"That's such a pity, you should know that you can't bring your grenade and automatic rifle to the game." Bai Jidong mocked.

"As long as you are determined enough, football is nothing!"

"Hahaha!" Harvey's sentence "as long as you are determined" hit Bai Jidong's smile.

"why are you laughing?"

"It seems that you don't pay attention to current affairs, you even know this sentence." Bai Jidong laughed.

Harvey snorted, "Of course, I also want to keep up with the times, besides, the world was full of reports about Kobe a few days ago, I can meet eight Lakers fans wearing No. 24 when I buy a fucking hamburger, Can you not know?"

"That's fine, you can participate, I will go to see, if necessary, help you collect the body." Bai Jidong said.

Rugby itself is a very popular sport in the United States, but in a sense, in many cities in the United States, it has become a kind of belief, even a kind of religion.

The craze and madness brought about by rugby is not the magnitude of a group of people, not just a school, but people who can unite the entire state.High school football games are usually played on Fridays. In the United States, not to mention every city, even a county has its own high school football team, so what can usually be seen is that every Friday night, many shops The boss hangs the off-duty sign on the door of the store early, and closes the store early, just to be able to watch the rugby game.

With regard to rugby leagues, from young children to the elderly, at all levels, as long as you want to participate, you can find a suitable one for you.

Harvey participated in the most common old people's league. Occasionally there were a few cheeky middle-aged people participating, but the list of players was mostly old people.

Harvey served as a running back and was responsible for opening the way for his teammates.

Generally speaking, the running back is served by the fastest runner on the team, but Harvey is not.

Under Harvey's strong request, this unprofessional team let Harvey serve as a running back.

Bai Jidong doesn't watch football games very much, but he also knows how popular this sport is in the United States.

Basketball is only as hot as football, and the annual Super Bowl is a grand event across the United States.

Seeing that Harvey was wearing a good protective gear, Bai Jidong felt a little relieved, he shouldn't be knocked all over the place, right?should...well...should...

At the beginning of the match, Bai Jidong covered his eyes.

Harvey was directly knocked down.Although the players are all amateurs, amateurs can also be divided into those who can play and those who can't. The players present are all amateur players who exercise regularly. Compared with Harvey, a layman who doesn't exercise much, all of them are masters.

Harvey became the weakest one on the field, anyone can bully him.

Seeing Harvey being knocked down again and again, Bai Jidong was very disturbed.

Harvey is not the kind of person to admit defeat when he encounters setbacks. Those people must be so targeting him because he said some nasty things.

Is it too late to stop the game now?Bai Jidong was about to stop, when Harvey was knocked into the air by the strongest man in the opposing team.

He didn't get up again and the game was suspended.

Bai Jidong stepped over the guardrail and ran into the field, "Anke! Anke!"

Bai Jidong followed the ambulance to the hospital, and Harvey put on the oxygen cylinder. The doctor found that he had multiple falls on his body, and the last hit on his head made him faint.

"It's too messy, if you continue to beat him, he will die!" The doctor didn't recognize Bai Jidong, thinking he was Harvey's child.

Harvey woke up hours later and saw his family.

Bai Jidong and Harvey's family explained the situation, and they expressed their understanding. Harvey is a weird old man, and as long as he makes a decision, he will not listen to any advice.

In the middle of the night, Bai Jidong was still in the hospital.

"From now on, you stay in the hospital honestly, and I will help you withdraw from that league." Bai Jidong said.

"Quit? No, it's just started. Why quit?" Harvey shook his head.

Bai Jidong snorted coldly: "Now is not the time to be brave, the doctor said if you continue to fight, you will die."

"That's because I haven't received professional training yet. Give me a period of time, and I promise to smash those old guys until they can't even find their dentures!" .

"You are old, don't worry about it anymore." Bai Jidong said. "We can find other things to do."

"White wolf."

Harvey called him that for the first time, "I know you're a big shot, everybody calls you that, 99 percent of Minnesota know you."

"Even if you're such a big shot, isn't there something you want to do but can't do?"

Harvey said: "I am at this age. I don't know when I will be called back by God. My life is full of regrets, but I can still make up for it, because until the last moment of my life, I will not regret my failure. I just You will regret things you never did."

Want to do something but can't?

Who doesn't?

Bai Jidong sighed: "It's up to you, I still say the same thing, on the day of your funeral, I will present a bouquet of orchids to commemorate your nonsense life."
