Chapter 919 History's No. [-] Slam Dunk King

At the end of July, Jason Kidd and Grant Hill announced their retirement.

So far, the 90s players who are still active in the NBA, only Duncan, Kobe, Garnett, Bai Jidong McGrady and others are left.

And there is no one who entered the alliance earlier than Bai Jidong.

In other words, Bai Jidong and Garnett are currently the oldest players in the league.

In August, the Nets hired Kidd as the team's coach.

In mid-August, the Asian Championships in Manila.

After Bai Jidong announced his withdrawal from the national team, the history of the Chinese men's basketball team turned a new chapter, opening the era of Zhao Li and Yi Lian.

Even if there is no Bai Jidong, the Chinese team is still a lonely existence in Asia.

Led by Zhao Li, the first generation of players carefully trained by Dream Academy has gradually become the mainstay of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Zhao Li is the soul of the team, Yi Lian is the captain, and Butu, a junior forward who plays for Georgetown University, is also an indispensable figure.

Dream Academy has sent a large number of talents to China. They are scattered all over the world. Some are chasing the NBA in the United States, some are learning advanced technical and tactical concepts in Europe, and some are joining CBA teams through school operation. It can be said that it is the first Chinese basketball team. An arsenal.

In the Asian Championships, the Chinese team won the championship with all victories, and Zhao Li was elected as the MVP of the Asian Championships.

As soon as the Asian Championships ended, Zhao Li, Yi Lian and Butu returned to the United States to prepare for the new season.

In September, Paul and Howard made their final decisions.

The first blockbuster came from the east, and after Jordan and Paul secretly talked, he finally convinced him.

Paul officially announced that he signed with the Charlotte Hornets.

Paul plus Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond?With immediate combat power and potential, we hold both the present and the future firmly in our hands.

Without Paul, the Lakers tried their best to keep Howard.

Yahoo Sports reporter Adrian Wojnarowski (woj) reported that when Lakers star Kobe Bryant interviewed Dwight Howard on Tuesday local time, he delivered an unmistakable and unwavering message to Howard. Signal: Let me teach you how to win.

Next, Howard used his actions to show "Go to your mother's championship, I just want happy basketball!"

The Rockets general manager Morey persuaded Howard to sign him under his command.

At this point, the once-famous Super Lakers team fell apart, leaving Kobe Bryant and the chicken feathers all over the place who don't know when he will return.

Everyone knows that the Lakers are about to start rebuilding.

At the end of September, the Timberwolves signed the uninterested Tracy McGrady with a veteran's minimum salary.

Before that, McGrady was thinking about retiring, but a phone call from Bai Jidong made him change his mind.

"Anyway, it's a great feeling to be able to play alongside my former teammates again."

With the turbulent and chaotic offseason, the Timberwolves were always calm. After the storm passed, there was a little movement that no one cared about.

Finally, Minnesota fans can't bear Casey's inaction, wasting Bai Jidong's last peak years in vain.

Letters of complaint and blades flew to the management's office like pieces of paper, and criticism from the media and celebrity came at the same time.

Kahn is under a lot of pressure, but the current lineup of the Timberwolves is really hard to start.

Medved's rubbish contract can only be rotten in his hands. Zhao Li and Bai Jidong can't move, but Vashabek can, but the reaction of White Wolf must be considered...

Three times, five times and two times, who else can move?What moves can these moving people do?
Kahn has the feeling that a smart woman can't cook without rice.

The storm spread to Glenn Taylor.Kahn has received Taylor's verbal warning to calm down the matter in the shortest possible time.

As a result, Casey, who was doing nothing, continued to intensify the grievances of the fans.

The 2013-2014 season started with a lot of discussion from the outside world.

Known as the Big Five, the Nets had a bad start and suffered a losing streak.

Although the Nets are powerful, the main lineup is already too old.

Not surprisingly, the Lakers started with a losing streak.

As for the Timberwolves, just like the Spurs, every year some people say that they are not good enough. After the start of the new season, they started with a winning streak.

McGrady looked really uncomfortable wearing No. 1 of the Timberwolves.

When McGrady came on the field, the fans cheered him.

In any case, he was once one of the best players in the league, and as the core led the Bulls to the Western Conference Finals, that was the most brilliant season for the Bulls in the post-Jordan era.

Later, in the 08 season, he led the Celtics' Big Four to fight the Timberwolves in seven bloody battles, including the Game 6, which has become a swan song. The century confrontation between him and the White Wolf was selected as "the most bloody moment in the history of competitive sports." ".

It has been six years since that game. McGrady has been miraculously restored and has become the main force in the Timberwolves' second team, averaging only 18 minutes per game.

The Timberwolves started with an eight-game winning streak and ended Game [-] at the Spurs.

The leaders of the two teams are old men. Duncan is 37 years old and Bai Jidong is 36 years old.

When the Spurs were hacked three years ago, there was a saying that "Duncan is old and the Spurs dynasty will fall".

Today, three years later, Duncan is still standing at the top of the West with the Spurs.

It's just that this year's Spurs are different from the past.

Duncan is indeed old. The Spurs began their transformation in 2011. After three seasons, they have completed their transformation.

Duncan is still the core, but only on the defensive end. On the offensive end, the Spurs do not have an absolute core.

Ten people rotate, everyone can be used as an offensive starting point, and the ball moves to the extreme. They used an almost exhibition game to end the Timberwolves' winning streak.

"Honestly, I'm amazed by your performance."

After the game, Bai Jidong and Duncan embraced each other.

"Of course, we're playing our best basketball," Duncan said.

"It's also the most basic."

Bai Jidong sighed: "The players' skills will become better and better, their abilities will become more and more comprehensive, and their physical fitness will become more and more powerful. At the root of it, it is just dribbling, passing, and shooting. It goes round and round, and the flow is endless."

"You're very reasonable. Goodbye." Duncan patted Bai Jidong's shoulder and left the stage with tonight's victory.

On the first day of 2014, the Timberwolves announced Medved's comeback.

Medved is no longer the highly anticipated Wolverine.

Last season, when Medved came back with a fat body, basketball fans all over the world were disappointed with him, and he paid the price for it-a torn cruciate ligament.

The injury sidelined him for the entirety of last season.

Before the start of this season, Medved's injury had healed. He did not come back immediately, but chose to strengthen himself with special training.

He only disappeared for one season. In the impression of fans, he seems to have retired.

When Medved suddenly appeared and stepped onto the field with the same strong body as before, everyone was excited.

"Born, I'm proud of you." Bai Jidong said.

Medved lowered his head and said, "Sorry, boss, I let you down, I'm very sorry!"

"No, I'm not disappointed, you've done a good job, all the sufferings are the trials of Saola preventing you from reaching the summit." Bai Jidong said.

Medved nodded and said: "Yes, I'm back! I'm back healthy!"

"Bourne Medved has suffered three ACL tears in the past four years, and the Timberwolves have reached the conference finals three times without Medved for most of the game. We can boldly imagine that if Medved Wade can stay healthy and maybe come back very differently."

When Medved stepped onto the field, the doctor told him: Your lower limbs are very fragile, if you continue to play, it may cause unimaginable consequences.

He has been brilliant, confused, and even depraved, but he is back.

Either way, he's not going away from basketball.

"Son of the Long Deer, your performance is really unbearable, so I will come back to take over your class!" Medved groaned loudly.

Vashabek frowned with the word Sichuan, and he was enduring.

Zhao Li wiped off his sweat, smiled wryly and said, "It's been a long time since I felt this way."

Medved's healthy return is certainly gratifying, but fans must also accept a fact.

That is the current Medved, who is no longer the Wolverine who can let the white wolf at his peak give up his core position.

The current Medved is a glass man who played less than 70 games in four seasons and suffered three season reimbursements.

After his comeback, Medved lost his former dominance, but he made up for what the Timberwolves needed most on the defensive end.

Bai Jidong and Vashabek's iron gates on the outside line, plus Medved's still powerful inside line protection basket.

For a time, the Timberwolves were full of vitality and vitality.

Before the All-Star weekend, the Timberwolves had the league's first record.

This season, Bai Jidong, Zhao Li, and Vashabek were selected as All-Stars at the same time.

Moreover, Vashabek also signed up for the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest at the same time.

As soon as the news came out, the fans were excited.

"My God, Bonu Vashabek finally knows what he's supposed to do!"

"I invite our four-time slam dunk champion, Mr. Vasha Baker, to deliver his acceptance speech."

"If the Honey Badger wins the championship again, it will be the only four-time slam dunk champion in history."

On the day of the game, Vashabek won the three-point contest with 24 points.

In the final of the slam dunk contest, Vashabek did not make a single mistake, got full marks for all four moves, won the crown without any suspense, and joined the history of the first slam dunk king.

"Bonu, this is your fourth slam dunk contest championship, how do you feel?"

"I'm very honored and very happy, um." (The onlookers said they couldn't see it at all)

"You once said that the slam dunk contest was boring, why did you choose to participate this time?"

"In four months, my daughter will be born and I want to give her something."

"So you're done?"

"No, this is just the beginning. I will win this year's championship with my teammates, and I will dedicate the championship to my little princess."

In the All-Star Game, Bai Weidong kept showing off his maneuvers, doing all kinds of tricks at his fingertips.

Vashabek treated the game like another slam dunk contest, dunking as hard as he could.

The Western All-Stars played with all their moves, played vigorously, and finally defeated the Eastern All-Stars who had no desire to fight.
