Chapter 329 This is LeBron James' all-or-nothing choice
After the draft, Griffin quickly entered "battle mode".
Although the Cavaliers' absolute core "trio" Li Wan, Chris Bosh and Wiggins are all under contract, there is no contract expiration.
But there are some changes in other players.
The first is Seth Curry's contract extension.
Seth Curry, who received a minimum salary of 2 years in the Cavaliers, also stood firm last year. As Li Wan's substitute player, he averaged 16.4 minutes of playing time in the regular season, averaging 6.6 points and 1.4 assists per game. ;
In the playoffs, due to the increase in Li Wan's playing time, his average playing time fell below 10 minutes per game, and his statistics were only 4.3 points and 0.3 assists.
It can be said that except for the scoring end, it can contribute some strength, and there is not much performance in other aspects.
However, even if this is the case, it is impossible for him to renew his contract with a basic salary after averaging 6.6 points per game.
Even if Griffin wanted to, I'm afraid the general managers of those teams in the free market would not agree.
They are so willing to do such things as dismantling the stage!
It is also for this reason that Griffin does not intend to make an offer immediately. He intends to check the situation first, see the outside world's offer for Seth Curry, and then make plans.
If a team bids too much for Seth Curry, there is a high probability that he will not follow up.
His main purpose is to keep Wade, Joe Johnson, and Paul Pierce. As long as these three brothers are there, the Explorers in the new season will still be one of the best teams in the league.
Forget it, don't be humble, as long as these old guys stay in this team, then no matter what happens in this league, the Explorers will definitely complete the defense.
If you really win the championship...
This has made history again!
In the history of the NBA, no team has won the championship in the first year of relocation.
It's just that he had just started this part of the work, and he was hit hard.
Paul Pierce told him the truth through his agent:
"Truth" has decided to retire, and they are communicating with the Celtics, preparing to sign a one-day contract, allowing Paul Pierce to "return to his roots" as the Green Army and wear the "Green Army" jersey to retire.
The "three elders" are doomed to lose one elder.
Griffin then contacted Joe Johnson.
The latter's team readily stated "you can stay": "But man, it is impossible for us to sign such a basic salary again!"
Last season, Joe Johnson received two salaries. Although this is a basic salary, he can still get an annual salary of tens of millions from the Magic.
For the first championship of his career, a slight loss of 200 million is acceptable for a "billionaire" like Joe Johnson, but now that he has won the championship, it is certainly impossible for him to continue to get a basic salary for it.
At his age, the more practical approach for him now is to get the highest contract, and it is a year to be able to stay in this league for one more year...
Griffin could only shelve the negotiations with him.
After waiting for the free market to open, look at other people's reactions, and then decide whether to follow up the quotation contract.
Li Wan signed a 3 plus 1 contract with the Cavaliers. In fact, after the next season, he has the right to opt out of the contract.
With the alliance's 2000 million yuan contract flying all over the sky, it is certain that Li Wan will jump out of the current "more than [-] million small contract".They even had to cooperate with Li Wan in "three requests and three resignations".
There is no way, this is Li Wan's status in the world.
Both Gilbert as the boss and Griffin as the boss' talker must have this awareness!
At that time, with Li Wan's years in the league, signing a contract with a starting salary of more than 3 million yuan is a certainty.
After Li Wan signs the new contract, Wiggins will be in the contract year again...
So from now on, Griffin has to save some money for the boss.
It's not that like the general manager of the Rockets, he saves money by being stingy to renew the core of the contract.
Rather, money must be spent wisely.
Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that the Explorers have just signed two rookies this summer. From the long-term perspective of the team, they must be given enough playing time to allow them to realize their potential.
As a result, Joe Johnson's playing time must be reduced...
You can't buy their playing time for a dozen, twenty, or 800 minutes just to spend seven or eight million yuan?
This is a double waste of financial resources and resources!
As such...
There is only one Dwyane Wade left in the "Three Elders".
After the setbacks of Paul Pierce and Joe Johnson, Griffin obviously did not have the self-confidence at the beginning, and he greeted Wade on the phone with caution.
Wade's reaction was beyond his expectations, and he agreed very happily, and would consider renewing his contract with the Cavaliers first... He has had a great time these few days.Winning the championship allowed him to fight a beautiful turnaround.
The big rock in Griffin's heart settled down a bit, and after making an appointment with Wade to discuss the contract extension in detail, he hung up the phone.
And just a second after he hung up the phone, Wade's cell phone hadn't been thrown on the side coffee table, and he heard the cell phone ringing again:
"Dad, your son is calling you again..."
When he opened it, Wade's pupils vibrated slightly. It was a name he was too familiar with:
Pat Riley!
Griffin is busy with his contract renewal, and Pat Riley, who is far away in Miami Beach, is also running around for the offseason, and there is no time to answer all kinds of calls.
He and LeBron James' team have reached a preliminary consensus:
Last season will be their last together.
After reaching this consensus, they met again and talked about the deal this summer.
As a result, they broke up unhappy.
LeBron James and his team expressed that they would give Pat Riley a list. He hoped that he could go to these favorite homes. For Pat Riley, this is naturally a request that harms the interests of the team .
He did not agree, but said: "I will try my best to send LeBron to a team that suits him!"
But unfortunately, Rich Paul became very tough at this time: "We only want to go to our favorite team!"
The so-called "talking is not speculative, half a sentence is too much", the two sides stalemate on this point of view for more than half an hour, and finally "dog eats dog, chicken feathers all over the place", and broke up unhappy.
Pat Riley's advantage is that LeBron James is still in the contract, and the disadvantage is that LeBron James' contract has the right to veto the transaction;
The advantages and disadvantages of LeBron James are the same. He has the right to veto the transaction, but he is within the contract period, and the contract has 2 years to end.
so...
After that conversation, the two sides have been in contact with each other by phone and text message.
It's a pity that neither side has the idea of taking a step back.
Pat Riley didn't wait around during this period, but took the initiative and called many general managers.
To his disappointment...
LeBron James is no longer as valuable as he expected.
It’s no wonder that although LeBron James entered the league at the age of 18, this is already the 13th season of his career before he knows it... After such a long career, LeBron James’ age has also come 31 years old!
This age is really not young.
In addition, he has changed n sets of lineups so far.
The stars of the partners have changed from Big Z and Mo Williams at the beginning, to Chris Bosh and Wade, and now Irving and Love. Big Z and Mo Williams may not be considered top-notch, but It was also at that stage, the league's second-rate to first-rate players, Chris Bosh and Wade have nothing to say, the absolute top player in the league, Kevin Love was also a player who entered the best team before joining the Heat , Owen is also a representative player of the new generation of No. [-] position...
With these teams, they failed to win the championship. You said, if you want to win the championship in the "Li Wan era" with LeBron James as the core, what price will you have to pay?
Since the price of winning the championship with him as the core is so high, which team do you think will pay a high price to trade him?
At present, the highest offer is Billy King of the Nets, who is willing to exchange Chris Paul and next year's first-round signing for LeBron James.
It is worth mentioning that the Nets are also on the favorite list of LeBron's team.
In addition to this team, LeBron James' favorite teams include the Warriors, Hornets, Trail Blazers and Bulls...
From the list of LeBron's team, we can see how urgent this guy is to win the championship.
It has reached the point where it is completely desperate...
He also took LeBron James and asked around the outside. Pat Riley changed his mind and took the initiative to call Rich Paul: "Man, I can promise to send LeBron to his favorite place." The team, but... there is one thing, you must promise me..."
Rich - Paul did not directly agree, but let Pat Riley speak out first.
"That's it, buddy, during this period of time, you can't express the idea of leaving, I have to be responsible to the Heat, I have to maximize my value..."
Pat Riley said it with all his heart.
Rich Paul listened to this, fell silent for a while, and agreed.
After LeBron James knew about this, he was a little anxious: "What if this guy just opened his mouth like a lion?"
Will I go to the new team to help the poor?
Rich Paul asked him not to worry: "Man, I will follow up the whole situation at any time. If I find that Pat Riley has too much appetite, I will arrange for the media to disclose the news that we are leaving... The media age, We have many ways!"
When LeBron heard this, he was also relieved.
His expression is very serious.
If it's not as good as an accident, he will keep this expression until his next stop is finalized.
no way……
The next stop is very likely to be his last chance. If he makes another mistake this time, he really has no chance to stand up!
So God!
After tossing me for so long, it's time for me to wear my crown, right?
The dark tide is surging, and the free market officially opened on July 7.
The first move was the Spurs, who signed Paul Gasol, whose contract with the Bulls had expired, for 2 years and 2400 million.
"Stone Buddha" just retired, and "Sister-in-law" joined. Obviously, this is used to fill the vacancy of Tim Duncan.
Then the Trail Blazers announced a 4-year 7200 million contract with the Englishman Ruhr Deng, who also expired with the Bulls.
Portland formed the "starter" of No. [-] Deron Williams, No. [-] CJ McCrum, No. [-] Ruhr Deng, No. [-] Aldridge, and No. [-] Greg Oden. Five Tigers" lineup!
After this deal was reached, Portland fans are also excitedly looking forward to the arrival of the new season.
They believe that the lineup of the Portland Trail Blazers will definitely allow them to go further in the new season.
Portland fans are so excited, but for Chicago Bulls fans, it is a series of blows.
Worse things are yet to come...
Letting go of Pau Gasol and Luol Deng for nothing, the Bulls management did not make any further moves. They just renewed Jimmy Butler's contract with a five-year value of $5 million.
Obviously, the Bulls in the new season will become a "backcourt dual-core drive" plan.
Just with the two of them alone, can they really continue to occupy the commanding heights in the east?
Many media are also questioning the choice of the Bulls management:
Although the Bulls fell directly in the second round of the playoffs last year, their record is still second in the Eastern Conference!
Is it really necessary to tear it down and rebuild?
The good news is that the two strong players released by the Bulls have joined the teams in the West, which did not allow other powerful players in the East to take advantage of it.
While the Bulls' "Five Tigers" became history, the Eagles, which created the miracle of the "Five Tigers of Common People" in the first two seasons, also experienced major changes.
Since entering the league, Al Horford, who has played for the Eagles, officially announced that he will join the Celtics at a price of 4 million in four years.
As the tactical core of the Eagles' offensive and defensive ends, his departure means that the Eagles, which have just risen for only two years, have fallen rapidly and entered the rebuilding period again.
It can also be seen from the Hawks' next trade of Jeff Teague to the Pacers that they really intend to give up next season and enter the reconstruction.
On the first day of the opening of the free market, the powerhouses of the East in the past two seasons disintegrated, and the Cavaliers moved from Cleveland to Columbus and changed their names.
ESPN bluntly said: "The pattern of the Eastern Conference in the new season will undergo earth-shaking changes again!"
At the same time of these two big transactions, Griffin quickly finalized the rookie contracts with Sabonis Jr. and Malcolm Brogdon. The former is 4 million for 1326 years, and the latter is 4 million for 534 years. Nice's contract is a 3 plus 1 contract, fully guaranteed for the first three years, and a team option for the last year, while Brogdon's contract is a 2 plus 2 contract, fully guaranteed for the first two years, and a team option for the next two years.
After finalizing the contracts of the two newcomers, Griffin's contract extension encountered trouble.
First of all, Paul Pierce officially signed a new one-day contract with the Celtics, and he is about to announce his retirement through his team; then Joe Johnson, who received a three-year 1 million offer contract from the Trail Blazers.
After the owner of the Trail Blazers dropped 2 million last year, he dropped another 1 million on the first day of the free market this year!
I feel that Lao Wang's small goal is not even a fart in his eyes...
Griffin could only watch the "Eagle King" leave Portland.
The "three elders" were left with the "one elder" in a blink of an eye.
But thinking of Wade's enthusiasm when he answered the phone, Griffin felt a little more confident, and called Wade at that time.
result……
"Sorry man...I might have to go back to Miami!"
When Wade's words came out of the microphone, Griffin immediately thought he had heard it wrong: "What, what?"
"Man, I have to go back to Miami. Pat said he needs me. Without him, there would be no 'Flash' today. I have to go back!" Wade's tone was sincere.
Griffin was finally sure that he had heard correctly.
There are only two words left in his heart:
Outrageous!
Did the "Flash" really have his brain hacked by "Lightning"?
Or did you go out too fast and hit the door?
Can this go back?
"How much did he pay you, man?" Griffin asked.
He still wants to fight for it.
The "two elders" are gone, and the money in his hands will be rich. Even if it is 8 million a year, Griffin is willing to give it.
Based on his performance on the bench last season, this price is definitely worth it...
But what Griffin didn't expect was that Wade refused. He said: "This is not about money. The current situation of the Heat requires a person to go back to stabilize the morale of the army!"
this person……
"I think there is no one else who can do it except you, because you are the eternal soul of this Heat team! Come back, Dwyane, Miami is your eternal home!"
It was late at night when Pat Riley called. When he said these words in a magnetic voice, Wade burst into tears, and without any resistance, he agreed.
I've been packing my luggage for the past two days.
Griffin eventually hung up the phone reluctantly.
After sitting there for about 5 minutes, his heart was full of complaints, and he finally called Li Wan.
No, it's too uncomfortable for him not to complain!
After Li Wan found out about this incident, he was not surprised. Firstly, it happened before; secondly, Wade really had a sense of "foolish loyalty" to Pat Riley.It is estimated that he also wants to be bound with the Heat forever.
Also, for someone like Wade who lived in Miami from 03 to 14 and 11 years, if he is asked to change places suddenly, even if he proves himself, it is estimated that he will still not be used to it deep in his heart.
let him go...
It's just that all the "three elders" were lost in this way. Apart from other things, the rotation of the second and third positions of the Cavaliers has become a big problem.
Li Wan wasn't worried, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge.
In what year were there not one or two veterans who "hugged their thighs"?
In June this year, the Cavaliers swept the Warriors with a big score of 6-4, and he averaged 1 points per game. This kind of team strength, as well as his personal ability, will definitely attract other players who want to play. The veteran who wants to win the championship joins...
No, on July 7, there was news from Griffin that Caron Butler recommended himself and wanted to join the Cavaliers with a basic salary.
Of course, the strength of Caron Butler at this time is not even 10/1 of his peak period. Signing him will definitely not be able to protect the flanks. At most, he is a "cheerleader".
But Griffin still signed.
signed this one...
There will be a next one!
And Caron Butler came to vote, which gave him a little more confidence in Xia Tian's reinforcements. He believed that there would definitely be veterans joining in!
On July 7, Li Wan and Taylor left for China.
Li Wan, who was waiting to board the plane in the waiting room, suddenly received a call from Griffin.
After waiting for so many days, finally another veteran wants to join with a basic salary.
The name Li Wan was quite unexpected.
It is none other than the former "Brazilian Lightning" Leandro Barbosa.
Li Wan faced him in the first regular season game of his career.
It was also in the fight with him that he became famous in the first battle.
Li Wan remembered that Barbosa had just won the first "Best Sixth Man" trophy in his career that season. Unexpectedly, he has become a veteran now!
He also took the initiative to run to Columbus to hug his "thigh".
However, should I say it or not, this is indeed a good bench strength. Although the original Barbosa left the NBA after the 15-16 season, he later went to the Brazilian League. The overall competitive state is still not bad.
At least it's much better than Caron Butler, who doesn't do anything at all... You must know that he averaged 6.4 points per game last season!
It is definitely enough to be a substitute number two.
Especially since he is only worth 76...
It's even more cost-effective!
Of course, just one Barbosa is definitely not enough to make up for the loss of the "three elders" leaving.
So Griffin has been thinking about it, or try to trade a swingman at the first and second positions and forget it.
The main reason is that one of the "three elders" did not renew his contract, and his salary space is still optimistic.
After other teams offered Seth Curry a 2-year, 6 million contract, Griffin finally made a decision to trade a backcourt swingman who was in his prime.
In a week, he also successfully locked the target. —George Hill, Popovich's former protégé.
After the Pacers management got Jeff Teague in the trade, they have decided to trade him.
The annual salary for the new season is not high, only 8 million...
George Hill averaged 12.5 points, 4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game with the Pacers last season. For this data, only 8 million is definitely not high.
Moreover, the standard "dual energy position" can not only fill the vacancy of the first position, but also fill the vacancy of the second position.
In the end, a first-round pick for next year, plus a second-round pick for the following year, and Seth Curry who just renewed his contract, Griffin brought George Hill to the Explorers through a three-way deal.
The lineup for the new season has a preliminary prototype:
"No. [-] position: Li Wan, George Hill;
Second position: Brugdon, Barbosa, Caron Butler;
Third position: Wiggins;
No. [-]: Chris Bosh, Sabonis Jr.;
Fifth position: Adams, Kwame Brown;”
At present, there are still 15 vacancies in the list of 5 people.
The next thing Griffin has to do is to stitch together and make the entire lineup more complete.
At this time, Li Wan and Taylor had also returned to China.
The family has already prepared the things to be prepared for the "first birthday party".
It's just that Li Wan is still very busy.
The seven aunts and eight aunts surrounded him, all kinds of questions made him sweat profusely.
It turns out that no matter how successful you are, you can't handle the old women at home.
Especially when some people put forward very unnatural demands and put on a face of "it's very simple for you, we are relatives", it is even more helpless.
Although Li Wan won't turn his face directly, but the next thing about entertaining relatives is left to his parents, and he asked Li Zi to pick up two business for him temporarily, and he ran outside until the day of the "birthday banquet". return.
Of course, Taylor must be brought along.
By the way, Li Wan registered the household registration for "Little Li Wan", looking at his name on the household registration book of "Little Li Wan": Li Xiaolu, Li Wan and Taylor looked at each other and smiled.
On the day of the "One Year Banquet", there was also a "grab it" link for Xiaolu.
Although Li Wan never thought about letting his son play basketball.
But when he watched him go straight to the basketball, he couldn't help but smile...
Cheng, it's my son!
However, the choice of "Xiao Li Wan" did not end. He played with the basketball for a while, then turned his head and grabbed the microphone twice.This scene made Li Wan dumbfounded.
Pretty greedy.
Cheng, it is indeed my son!
"Little Li Wan"'s "one year old" ended, Li Wan threw "Little Li Wan" to Li's parents and Li's mother, and took Taylor to have a good time in China for two laps.It was not until July 7 that he returned to Columbus.
At this time, the free market has been open for almost a month, and the news is no longer as dense as it was at the beginning.
However, during Li Wan's return to China, Griffin made another deal: he signed Li Wan's former teammate Vince Carter from the free market at a price of 2 million for two years!
After winning the championship with Li Wan in the Knicks, he said that the world is so big, and the "half man, half god" I wanted to see was already 39 years old after the season just ended!
But as the "longest evergreen tree in the league" in the future of the league, it is no exaggeration to say that Vince Carter's career has just begun.
He will not announce his retirement until 2020.
There are still 4 full years from now.
The most important thing is that he is not like Haslem or Iguodala later, who is completely unable to play and is still sitting on the team's bench.
Even in the last season of his career, he still averaged 14.5 points in 5 minutes per game.
In the upcoming 16-17 season, he averaged 24.5 minutes per game and scored 8 points!
For the Cavaliers, who lack a backup at the three, this is a great addition.
When Li Wan knew the news, he took out his mobile phone and found that Vince Carter had called him, but he used another mobile phone in China. Only Griffin knew this number, and so did Li Wan. I told him because I was afraid that he had something urgent and couldn't find me.
He immediately called Vince Carter, and the call was quickly connected.
"Man, welcome to Columbus, we can be teammates again in the new season!"
After the deal, Griffin also breathed a sigh of relief.
George Hill plus Vince Carter plus Barbosa, the immediate combat power of these three people is indeed still a little behind Wade, Paul Pierce and Joe Johnson.
but……
Don't forget, the Cavaliers still have two rookies!
He doesn't expect both rookies to achieve results immediately, as long as one of them can achieve results, then the loss of the "three veterans" leaving can be fully offset.
only……
How could none of them be able to renew their contracts?
Even though it had been so many days, Griffin still felt outrageous.
At that time, he still thought that at least one of them could be left behind!
In fact, not only did he feel that it was outrageous, but the outside media also felt that it was outrageous.
Especially when the news of Dwyane Wade's departure from the Explorers came out, they thought it was not July, but April Fool's Day...
The thing that makes them feel outrageous the most is...
You said you were leaving the Cavaliers, but what the hell is going back to the Heat?
And the gossip has spread, Griffin tried to match a higher contract, but Wade went back without hesitation and signed a three-year 3 million contract...
3 million in 1500 years is equivalent to 1 million in 5 year...
Not to mention other things, Wade won the "Sixth Man of the Season" award last season, and Pat Riley offered such a contract, which is already suspected of sending beggars...
But Wade really signed it!
What kind of ecstasy soup is this drinking?
Wade is also suffering.
At that time, he packed his luggage from Columbus and returned to the Heat in a hurry. When he got off the plane at the airport, he took a deep breath and said in his heart:
I feel all back!
As a result, unexpectedly, when he arrived at the American Airlines Arena, Pat Riley spread out such a contract in front of him.
He wanted to explode, but Pat Riley said again: "Dwyane, I know this contract is unfair to you, but...the Heat need you, Miami needs you, you... sign it!"
then……
By the time his mind cleared up, Pat Riley had already opened the door of the office to let him out without even sending him off.
special!
Shit guy!
I shouldn't have come back!
Wade got into his car cursing, but carefully kept the contract.
Just as the outside world does not understand at this moment, his final choice is to say something secretly in his heart:
You know a ball, this is because I love this land so deeply!
Ok……
Resolutely refuse to admit that I was KTVed by that old Pat Riley!
In August, Li Wan was brought to the forefront in China.
because……
The Olympics are here!
The Huaxia men's basketball team faced the American Dream Team in the first game, and was beaten by a big score of 62 to 119, losing 57 points!
This defeat caused some fans to break their defenses and ran to Li Wan's Weibo to attack Li Wan. Why didn't they represent the national team in the Olympic Games:
"If you played, would we lose so badly?"
"How much ability you have means how much responsibility you have to bear. Don't you know that?"
"Is there really no patriotism at all? I just don't have the ability, otherwise I wouldn't be as selfish as you!"
"To be honest, I'm really disappointed in you this time!"
……
But soon, these remarks were countered by the "Wan Jiajun":
"I remember before the Olympic Games, some people said that without Li Wan, you can still get good results?"
"Brother Wan has already explained very clearly that he wants to give his son a birthday drink and wants to take this opportunity to have a good reunion with his family. Is there something wrong with that?"
"For so many years, the Huaxia men's basketball team can only rely on Li Wan? He is also 28 years old, how many years can he play?"
……
Li Wan was not surprised by this situation.
His counterattack was also very simple. He posted photos of one gold medal and one silver medal he won in the Olympics on Weibo.At the same time with the text:
Clear conscience!
Then, stop paying attention to these things.
Instead, he invested in special training.
This year, because of the relocation of the team and the "birthday wine" for "Xiao Li Wan", he has not conducted systematic training. Now that he is finally free, he naturally has to devote himself to the development of his abilities.
Don't forget, he still has a lot of untapped potential!
Especially in terms of three-pointers, the potential value of 100 has just reached 90...
His goal is to reach 92 points this summer, so with the addition of the "I am a system player" badge, his three-point shooting can reach the super giant level.
This is a level that can be reached under normal conditions.
It would be even more perverted with the addition of the "Nervous Knife" badge.
It is estimated that Stephen Curry has a touch, and that is the extent...
In about a week, the Huaxia men's basketball team finished all the group matches, with 0 wins and 5 losses, and an average loss of more than 30 points per game. They finished the entire journey of the Olympic Games.
At this time, even the gang of "Li Hei" couldn't care less about complaining that Li Wan didn't participate.
The eyes of all domestic fans are focused on the players of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team. ——In terms of lineup composition, this year's Huaxia Men's Basketball lineup is not much different from the 12 Huaxia Men's Basketball lineup.
To say that the biggest change may be that this team lacks Li Wan.
But no one thought that the difference would be so big just because Li Wan was absent!
You know, they were Olympic silver medalists in the last Olympic Games?
But now, they are actually struggling to win in the group stage.
The entry "Understanding Li Wan" quickly became the number one most searched topic on Weibo.
A lot of Li Wan's previous remarks about the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team have been uncovered, especially the sentence that Li Wan has been talking about "The Huaxia Men's Basketball Team can't rely on just one person. After Dayao, there will be me, and after me, there will be another one." who?"
They finally understood Li Wan's worry.
Dare to feel that the current strength of the Huaxia men's basketball team is only because of the illusory bubble of Li Wan?
"It's really hard for me to imagine how we won the silver medal in the last Olympic Games!"
"The gold content of Li Wan's 2012 Olympic Games is still rising!"
"To be honest, Brother Wan will not participate in the national team in the future. To tear off this fig leaf is the best help for the Huaxia men's basketball team!"
……
Just like that, Li Wan's reputation changed drastically.
Only this time, Li Wan didn't speak again, he continued to focus on his special training, and at the same time called Spike Lee: "Dude, I'm going to end the special training soon, how are you doing with your preparations?" ?”
Spike-Lee was extremely anxious. Hearing Li Wan's words, he almost burst into tears: "Li, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? It's already ready, buddy, let's get started!"
In this way, Li Wan and Taylor rushed to the Spike-Lee crew, and the filming of "Li Wan 2" officially started!
At the same time, the Olympic men's basketball competitions were all over. On the final stage, the American Dream Team defeated their opponents and won the Olympic gold medal for the second consecutive year.
Looking at the gold medal worn by Miss Manners on his chest, LeBron James wept with joy.
The feeling of winning the championship is really wonderful!
He looked up again at the "golden rain" all over the field. If this happened in the NBA Finals, Thai pants would be hot!
Win the championship, win the championship, I must win the championship on the NBA stage...
At that time, LeBron will have to taste it carefully, how different is this from winning the championship on the Olympic stage!
On August 8th, "Li Wan 25" officially started filming, and the members of the "Dream Team" of the United States also returned to the United States. It was also in the afternoon of this day that there was a sudden big news from the alliance:
The Golden State Warriors sent Bogut, Barnes and the 2017 first-round pick and 2018 second-round pick to get LeBron James from the Miami Heat!
"Little Emperor" joins Golden State...
When the news came out, the entire league was shocked.
No one expected that at the end of the off-season, such a big news would come out of the league!
Originally they thought that the only big move this season might be Kevin Durant. ——As of August 8, Kevin Durant still has not renewed his contract with the Thunder in advance, nor has he announced his withdrawal from the contract.
There was a gossip, saying that "Kevin Durant is carefully considering his options and will make a choice before the start of the new season!"
All the media were waiting for this news, but they didn't expect such an earthquake-level transaction to come first.
ESPN used "Unbelievable" as the headline.
"Bleacher" also used three consecutive "shocks" in its report.
No way, even though there have been rumors that LeBron James will leave the Heat, who would have thought that his next stop would be the Golden State Warriors!
Some media immediately called LeBron James and his team, but unfortunately, they couldn't get through.

And the Warriors are one of the teams on the list!
After Bill Walton heard the news, he only said one sentence: "This is LeBron James' desperate choice!"
