Chapter 984 Goodbye
"we are the champion!"

"we are the champion!"

The audience repeated the same sentence, the sky was full of colorful flowers, Bai Jidong stood in place, was thrown down by his teammates, one by one rushed up, wishing to crush him into a meatloaf.

"Great! Great!"

"This shot is like Michael's shot of the century in 1998. If this is the last shot of the White Wolf's career, how great would it be?"

"This is a touching fairy tale!"

"It's wonderfully epic!"

"Boss, congratulations." Vashabek said excitedly, "I think you can play for a few more years!"

Bai Jidong just smiled and didn't answer.

At this moment, Vashabek, who had fought side by side with the White Wolf for more than ten years, felt for the first time that the big brother who brought him into the alliance and watched him grow up to this day suddenly became old.

The great white wolf aged at this moment.

Vashabek no longer wants to stay, because he knows that it is inevitable.

Then, Bai Jidong looked around, at the place where the dream started, he used the most dreamy way to complete the last shot.

He almost forgot how the story began, but he will definitely remember how it ended.

When he won the championship for the first time with the team in 1996, he was just a fledgling kid and didn't take the championship seriously, so he didn't feel much.

When he led his team to win the championship for the first time in 2005, he only had endless excitement, but he didn't have such deep feelings.

Year after year, he won one championship after another, but none of them were as moving as this moment.

I have lost, gained, and now it is complete, it is time for me to leave.

Uncontrollable emotions surged into the brain and rushed out of the eye sockets.

Butler came over and patted him: "You're crying, it's so ugly."

"Feel sorry."

Bai Jidong couldn't control himself, he wiped his eyes and walked to the sidelines to accept the interview.

Butu happily hugged Bai Jidong: "Uncle Wolf! Sure enough, there was no tiebreaker! You are amazing!"

"Are you going to suffocate me? Let go!" Bai Jidong was almost suffocated.

"Bye, can you tell us about the final play? You still have a timeout, but you don't. What happened?"

Bai Jidong slowed down, and said: "There will always be such short moments in life that you feel that you are omnipotent."

Then, Bai Jidong walked to the sidelines, hugged Bai Qinghuan, and said to his wife: "It's over."

"Now, can you rest assured?"

Chu Meng knew how important this championship was to Bai Jidong, if he didn't win the championship, he would never get over this hurdle in his life.

Bai Jidong hugged Bai Qinghuan with one hand and Chu Meng with the other: "Thank you, I wouldn't be able to get here without your support."

"Scott, have you seen it?" Before returning to the locker room, Bai Jidong greeted his old teammates on the sidelines.

Pippen looked soft and smiled, "I'm proud of you, Bye."

"Such a performance was barely in vain. I left my daughter's birthday to watch the game." Kukoc said with red eyes.

Bai Jidong has a lot to say, but now he can't say a single word.

Buichler said: "Remember to shoot later, Bye."

"it is good."

"After playing a good game, shouldn't it be time to treat me? My stomach is going to be flattened by hunger." Wennington muttered.

"What are you doing? You are always talking endlessly when you are not allowed to talk. Why are you so quiet now?"

"I" Bai Jidong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

However, some things can only be said at this time.

"I did not fail."

After Bai Jidong finished speaking, he said, "See you later."

Several old guys looked at each other and smiled.

Just as Bai Jidong entered the corridor, he ran into Durant: "Kevin, how are you feeling?"

Durant was still sullen, and said disapprovingly: "It's you, if it were someone else, I would have demolished your locker room long ago!"

"Kevin, your time is coming."

"Thank you." Durant said.

Bai Jidong then said again: "However, you will never have the chance to beat me in this life. Tonight will be eternal. No matter what achievements you have in the future, people will remember that at the age of 40, I taught you a lesson in the finals." about you!"

"It's a fact, isn't it?" Durant was not angry.

Bai Jidong walked to the door of the locker room, feeling faintly uneasy.

As soon as the door was opened, it was as if the assassin who had executed the assassination plan returned home and suddenly found a dozen people pointing machine guns at him.

"What do you guys want?"

Butler took the lead, shaking champagne and shouting: "Brothers, please pay the highest respect to our best players!"

More than a dozen bottles of champagne were opened at the same time and shot at the same place.

"You little bastards! Damn I can't spare you!"

"Damn! It's almost done!"

"Damn it! Why should I come back here?"

After the play, the Bulls team wore championship jerseys and championship hats, and they returned to the field neatly and stood in front of the stage.

"A great season is coming to an end, thank you Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors for six classic games!"

Xiao Hua said his congratulations, and finally: "I announce that the 2016-2017 NBA championship is the Chicago Bulls!"

Bai Jidong stood beside Hoiberg, watching him lift the O'Brien Cup, his heart was filled with emotion.

Followed by Finals MVP.

There is no suspense. In the six finals, Bai Jidong averaged 29 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, and was elected unanimously.

"Unless you promise to come back here next year, I won't give you the trophy." Xiao Hua joked.

Bai Jidong took over the microphone: "It's not easy, I'm glad we got here, thanks to our coaching team and the young people behind me who are full of fighting spirit, they are the MVPs."

"Bye~"

"do not go!"

"Bye, fight for another year!"

"Fight for another year!"

There were voices at the scene.

"I had a great time playing tonight, it's a moment for everyone, and I'm ready, I'm ready to leave basketball forever, and leave a game that I love so much."

"Sorry, I'll go first."

"I have dedicated my life to basketball and I have no regrets."

"Thank you all, I'm ready to say goodbye."

"Good night, Chicago."

After Bai Weidong finished speaking, countless fans at the scene wept.

Bill Russell gave the trophy named after him to Bai Jidong: "Son, you did a good job."

"Thank you."

Bai Jidong grabbed the trophy and raised it above his head.

Tonight, let's fix it.

The next day, Bai Jidong officially announced his retirement, ending his 22-year professional career.

Throughout Bai’s 22-year career, he has scored 42163 points, 11680 rebounds, and 12092 assists in total, won 9 championships, was elected Finals MVP 6 times, was elected regular season MVP 6 times, was selected to the All-NBA Team 16 times, and was selected 17 times. Named to the All-Defensive Team.

"We said goodbye countless times in Chicago, and finally we said goodbye to ourselves, "Goodbye"! This is the last time."

"The white wolf represents my youth. His 12 years in Mingzhou were the most wonderful 12 years of my life. In my heart, you are the greatest. Goodbye!"

"For me, the NBA without the White Wolves would be weird, and I don't know how long it will take to accept that."

After Bai Jidong announced his retirement, people expressed their reluctance through various platforms.

Half a month later, the 2017 NBA Draft was held at Madison Square.

The 17th generation, known as the draft year, officially entered the league.

Another half month later, Vashabek announced that he had signed a five-year, 5 million contract with the Timberwolves and returned to Minnesota.

On the day Vashabek left, many Chicago fans spontaneously went to the airport to see him off.

"I love Chicago, I will miss everything here, I had an extraordinary year here. However, my home is in Apollos, I have to go back, sorry." New published an article acknowledging Chicago.

Last season, due to the departure of Bai Jidong and Vashabek, the Timberwolves were supported by Zhao Li alone.

In the Wild West, a team with only one All-Star is rare.

Zhao Li persisted for half a season and brought the Timberwolves to the brink of the playoffs, but injuries knocked him down.

Therefore, the Timberwolves changed their strategy, performed poorly in the middle of the season, and finally got the fifth pick, and chose Jonathan Isaac, known as Durant Jr., in the draft.

The return of Vashabek brought the Timberwolves back on track. There are two veteran players, Zhao Li and Vashabek, as well as a talented new star like Isaac. The future can be expected.

The teams have not changed much, James is actively training, and the Cavaliers will still be the favorite team in the finals next season.

The same is true for the Warriors. Although their failure to win the championship is ridiculed, they are still on the way.

Not long ago, the Warriors reached an agreement with Durant.

Durant will remain with the Warriors.

Nothing has changed, the NBA is still dominated by two strong players, and this year is just an accident.

After the championship parade ended, Bai Jidong ushered in a long vacation.

From now on, he doesn't have to think about the game anymore, and he doesn't have to spend time maintaining his body and shape, and he can do whatever he wants.

He thought that the next step would be a free life where the sea is wide and the sky is high, but the reality soon gave him a heavy hammer.

"What a wave! Take the children!"

Bai Jidong has become a driver, taking his children to and from school full-time. It is quite leisurely, but this kind of life is not suitable for him.

Someone knew him and called.

"Hello, Maggie."

Bai Jidong heard that the magician is now the president of operations of the Lakers, so how come he still has time to call him?

"It seems that you are very relaxed."

“How come you see?”

"Answering the phone in seconds means that you are too busy to be free now."

"Well, a little bit."

Bai Jidong has nothing to hide: "Is there something wrong? Are you scared by Lonzo Ball's shooting? Don't worry, that kid will become a good shooter."

"I'm not worried, that kid is a genius, I'm just worried about you."

"Me? I have nothing to worry about."

"A boring life can take people to extremes, Bye."

Bai Jidong heard the voice: "Maji, speak up if you have something to say."

"WOW, as expected of Bye, I like your straightforwardness." The magician made a big deal, and finally said: "Besides Lonzo, we have some young people here, they need a little experience, and an old bastard like me is obviously not suitable." Are you interested in leading them?"

"I'm not interested in coaching."

"No, it's not coaching, it's an assistant coach. I believe you can do it." The magician said.

Bai Jidong scratched his head: "I want to discuss it with my family, you know, I'm not alone now."

"I totally understand, let me know when you decide, but don't make me wait too long."

"Okay, thank you for your invitation."

"You're welcome, no matter when, the door of the Lakers country will always be open for you."

In August, it was summer, and Bai Jidong's family went to Greenland for vacation.

Greenland has a special meaning to Bai Jidong, many things started from here.

Taylor mother and son are also there, and the family is fishing on the coast.

"Father, it's so cold." Bai Qinghuan's face turned red from the cold.

Bai Jidong hugged his daughter, sat on the stool and looked into the distance: "Huanhuan, do you think this place is fun?"

"It's fun, but it's a little cold."

"Everything is not perfect."

"Well, that's right."

Both father and daughter stopped talking, Bai Qinghuan raised his head to look at his father's face, and suddenly stretched out his hand to squeeze.

"Father, what are you thinking?" Bai Qinghuan asked.

"I was thinking, what will Huanhuan be like when he grows up?" Bai Jidong laughed.

Bai Qinghuan said cheerfully: "When I grow up, I want to be a pilot, fly around like a bird, and go wherever I want."

"Are you alone?"

"No, I want to bring my parents and my brother with me!"

"Then you have to work harder. Becoming a pilot is not easy." Bai Jidong patted his daughter's head, "Some dreams are big and some are small, but they can definitely come true, you know?"

"Ah."

"Dong!" Chu Meng came over.

Bai Jidong looked over: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, I have your phone number!"

"Let me guess, is it Maggie's phone?"

"Yes!"

"Tell him that I haven't decided yet, and I'll give him an answer in a few days."

Chu Meng held the phone, looked at Bai Jidong, smiled slightly, and answered the phone: "I am Bye's wife."

"I know, he told me about it."

"He agreed, but it's inconvenient now, so I will convey it."

"OK, thanks."

Chu Meng put away his phone.

Although Bai Jidong didn't give the magician a clear answer, she knew her husband well.

If he wasn't interested, he might have rejected the magician long ago.

He must have been tempted, but he was only worried about his family, so he didn't make a decision for a long time.

"It's time for dinner in a few minutes." Chu Meng shouted.

"Okay, let's sit for a while and go back."

Bai Jidong picked up Bai Qinghuan, took a few steps, and looked into the distance: "Huanhuan, if Dad wants to go to a new place, will you agree?"

"Can I go with you?"

"can."

"Is mom going too?"

"go."

"Is everyone going?"

"Ah."

"Then I agree!"

"Ooooooooooo~~~"

Bai Jidong howled forward, and ran with his daughter on his back.

The main text is over, the Hall of Fame speech will be posted tomorrow, and my final testimonial will also be posted tomorrow. If you are interested, see you tomorrow.
