I am Really an Insider

Chapter 682 Chapter 679: Salty Egg’s comeback failed, and Mousse slipped a step before ascending the

"This is Qi."

Director Gong looked at the tall man on the court who was as thin as a rib and introduced him to Wayne.

"Well, I know him. I saw his interview many years ago. He is the champion of the Turkish U16 Invitational Tournament. He is the big devil. He usually likes to fill eggs with cakes. I know."

Wayne sat next to the palace guide and smiled easily.

"Egg-filled cake? Hahahaha, Awei, what you say is really interesting." Director Gong shook his head and continued to watch the game.

At this time, Wayne and Gong Luming were watching the Chinese U18 training match. Since Wei is already the director, work still needs to be done.

This U18 team will participate in the U18 Asian Championships this summer.

Director Gong brought Wayne here just to see Zhou Qi's performance.

Just like when he saved the women's basketball team, Director Gong doesn't just want to solve immediate needs.

To be honest, if you want to achieve results in the World Championships, the best way is to beg Wayne to come back, then get naturalized, and recruit a few old gangsters to come over.

In this way, the Chinese team will definitely be able to achieve results in the World Championships.

But Director Gong knew that it was just self-deception.

If Chinese basketball is to truly get out of trouble in the post-Wayne-Yao Ming era, it will have to promote new players.

Therefore, during this period of time, Gong Luming has been taking Wayne to watch the games of the new stars.

A few days ago, Wayne had just watched a CBA playoff game.

This is the first time Wayne has appeared in a CBA game in so many years.

In that game, Director Gong and Director Wei mainly went to inspect their eldest nephew.

At first, Wayne was distracted.

Because this game is Liaoning VS Xinjiang, Wayne is looking for guidance all over the court!

We are all mentors now, so communication is normal.

After we get to know each other better, I can often go and watch Ning’s daughter play volleyball. No, I want to watch Ning’s son Arslan play basketball. I can also give guidance when I have time!

But when he remembered that he still had important matters to attend to, Wayne focused on watching the game.

As a result, I didn't know the game without watching it, and Wayne was shocked when he saw it.

Good guy, as a point guard, Guo Zi's two passes made Wayne lose confidence.

Because Wayne felt that even if he was on the court, he might not be able to catch Guo Zina's pass.

Sure enough, Wayne is just a fake superstar, he doesn't even have CBA level!

In one of the goals, Guo Zi made a beautiful turn and rushed in. Faced with a double team, he actually found his teammates in the double team.

He didn't even know the location of his teammates beforehand.

Then needless to say, the ball passed directly into the air and was picked up by the opponent.

He himself didn't even know who to pass it to. He would rush in first and then throw it away.

With this kind of ball, even Wayne would have to accept the defeat.

Wayne: I don’t deserve to fight Sibi!

No wonder it was so lively in the season when Finsen came to play in Liaoning in history. There was Guo Zi and Finsen in the back line. They were just a pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes.

As soon as they passed the ball, the whole audience was nervous.

Oh, wrong.

Once they get the ball, no one else can touch it.

After one game, Guo Ziyi's point guard had 2 assists and 5 turnovers, which was outrageous.

Director Gong shook his head at that time: "This Guo Zi, he is a very individual player, he is very confident. However, he is too self-centered when playing.

If he can have some awareness and change a little bit every year, he will actually have a long way to go in the future.

You said that if he continues to charge like he is now, and if he works hard for three more years, when he reaches age and his physical fitness improves, will he still be able to charge? He has to learn how to organize. Those who can pass the ball are the oldest. "

"Well, Director Gong is right!"

Wayne was not agreeing, but he felt that Lao Gong was too accurate in judging people!

Lao Gong has a characteristic in looking at people. He may not necessarily see other people's strengths accurately, but he can see other people's shortcomings very accurately.

Wayne directly wondered whether Lao Gong had also traveled through time and watched Guo Zi's game in the future.

Today, Lao Gong's evaluation of Zhou Qi made Wayne even more applauded.

"Qiqi has great potential, but there are also many problems.

His fat content is even less than that of the original Arab League, so he simply cannot bear heavy exercise training and needs to arrange his game time accordingly.

His golf IQ is very good, and he has developed a habit of not using up his energy randomly over the years.

But this means that he has to rest for two games after a good game, and his performance is unstable. It's not that he doesn't want to fight, he just has no energy.

If forced, he will show slow reaction and slow movement on the court. This is a reality, not that he is lazy or anything.

You tell him to train hard, and he frowns.

You have to toss him a little and then let him rest for a while, or if you don't toss him too much, you'll give him a break. This is a rather unique character, and it's hard to practice.

You still have to build muscle and build strength honestly. "

Wayne smiled, Director Gong said something simple, right?

How does Wayne feel that this is superficially bragging but actually dark?

Commonly known as advanced black.

But it does basically hit the point.

Lao Gong is still capable, so for sure, Wayne wouldn't be willing to come if it were anyone else.

"So, from now on, you will have to work hard to train these young players, Awei."

"That's for sure, but the only one who can help them is themselves." Wayne smiled on the outside, but actually he was panicking inside.

Because he is not sure whether he can do a good job as a sparring partner on the training ground.

Since joining the national team coaching staff, Wayne has begun to resume training properly, and then he boldly took a look at his current attribute panel.

That's terrible!

After not training for too long, plus gaining weight and getting older, Wayne's current attributes are simply not noticeable.

The original jumping height of 80 has almost dropped below 70, and the agility of 85 has also dropped to 71.

The lateral speed that I was proud of dropped directly to 67.

That is, now Wayne is carrying a small belly and moving sideways.

Thompson, the dribbling genius, could pass Wayne.

These are just a few of the attributes, and there are even worse ones than this.

Although Wayne knew that as long as he resumed training, most of these values ​​​​could rise back. After all, the loss will not be so exaggerated just as you get older.

This is mainly due to the decline in ability caused by neglect of training.

But Wayne is still a little worried. It would be embarrassing if he was abused while coaching on the court!

The outside world is now discussing the possibility of Wayne's comeback in the future.

It made Wayne laugh.

When I come back to this state, I'm going to fight a ghost.

Isn’t this just damaging your own brand?

It is generally believed that Michael Jordan's second comeback was due to him pulling himself down from the altar.

Let everyone realize that Mike Joe is also a human being.

If he hadn't made his comeback with the Wizards, McDuck would have left an insurmountable shadow on the world.

So, don’t make a random comeback when you get old. If you are not strong enough, you will get beaten easily.

Just as Wayne was watching Zhou Qi's performance, his phone suddenly rang. It turned out to be push news.

"The first negotiation broke down! The signing of the new NBA broadcast contract was not smooth!"

Wayne looked at the news, curled his lips, and turned off the phone screen, not caring at all.

At this time, Stern was shocked when he saw the news.

A few months ago on February 1, he had officially completed the handover with Lu Dan.

But to be honest, the NBA has been his passion for most of his life.

Although he has abdicated, he still thinks about this alliance in his heart.

Seeing how the renewal of the new broadcast contract was not going smoothly, Stern was also worried.

Although Wayne's retirement is not all the factors affecting the contract extension, it is undoubtedly one of the factors.

Originally, in the original plan, the renewal of this new broadcast contract was regarded as a gift from Stern to Lu Dan.

Because it only took a few months from Stern's official resignation to the signing of a new broadcast contract.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, there will be no major changes in the alliance.

This new broadcast contract, even if the price is high, is a dividend from the Stern era.

By letting Lu Dan sign this contract as president, he can immediately establish his prestige.

So in the future, some people will say that the NBA's ability to sign sky-high broadcast contracts is the result of Lu Dan. That is simply ridiculous.

Little did they know that Wayne's retirement disrupted the entire plan.

Now that the negotiations are blocked, there must be an uproar on the braised egg side.

Boss Si is very good at knowing what's going on, because Lu Dan's phone calls have been basically full in the past few days.

If the other party lowers the price by billions, can the team owners agree?

The league president, to put it bluntly, is hired by the team owners to help manage the league.

Although he has certain rights, he is not the final player in this game.

Now you can't help the league make money, and your price has been reduced by billions. Are the bosses satisfied?

Luodan is now waiting for the results of the playoffs. As long as the playoffs are exciting, everything will have room for maneuver.

As a result, this year's NBA playoffs not only did not improve much compared to previous years, but actually declined slightly.

In the East, the Heat continue to be the dominant team, and no team can challenge their status.

Therefore, the Eastern Conference playoffs were basically wiped out, and the ratings were not ideal.

In the West, as long as there was a Wayne series in the past, the ratings were not too bad.

But this year, Du Xiaoshuai, who had high hopes, has very average box office appeal.

On the Trail Blazers side, without Wayne, their ability to attract money has also been greatly reduced.

In the first round, the No. 1 Spurs defeated their Texas brothers, the Mavericks.

No matter when these cow-horse brothers meet, the game is always exciting.

But the excitement is exciting, and the Spurs and Mavericks during this period are really not attractive.

The fourth-place Blazers, under the leadership of Curry, won the fifth-place Mosaic in six games.

Brother Deng has evolved again this season. Last summer, Mosaic also introduced Warcraft, who was frustrated with the Lakers.

Beast thought that without Wayne, he would finally be able to walk sideways in the West.

Who would have known that they were killed by the Trail Blazers without Wayne in the first round.

Harden really doesn't defend. Curry and Thompson, whoever plays against him will score high.

At this time, Ha Jishi was addicted to nightclubs and couldn't extricate himself.

Master Huo ran from a person who didn't sleep at four o'clock in the morning to another person who didn't sleep at four o'clock in the morning every day.

In addition to defense, Hajishi's offensive efficiency is also impressive.

In the entire series of 6 games, the average shooting percentage per game was 37.6% and the three-point shooting percentage was 29.6%.

He averaged 5.8 assists per game but also had 3.5 turnovers. He is a typical regular season superstar and a giant baby in the playoffs.

Master Huo became more assertive and took advantage of the Blazers' weak inside line.

With a shooting percentage of 54.7%, he averaged 26 points, 13.7 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, making him the league's number one center.

But it's useless. You can't beat the Trail Blazers just by relying on his two-point and two-point chisel.

You worked very hard to score 2 points. After passing by, Ha Jishi immediately lost 3 points with a look of defense.

You can't even fill this hole even if you're exhausted.

Moreover, McHale did not have any targeted arrangements in the playoffs and still followed the idea of ​​​​playing blindly.

McHale: Then how can you call a blind chicken to fight? That's called a multi-level three-dimensional attack. I have to say it several times!

Ever since, the first round of mosaic failed.

The much-anticipated Thunder were dragged to the tiebreaker by the Grizzlies, which was shocking.

The Grizzlies' strong defense made it difficult for the two young players, and the Black and White Bears also defeated the Thunder inside.

I was so anxious that I pointed to Durant’s VS James’ comeback in the Finals.

If the Thunder lose in the first round, will I still be able to do business? Do I still have to sign my broadcast contract?

Then, in the series G6, the opportunity for braised eggs came.

At that time, because the series was very fierce, both sides wanted to advance.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the action will be larger.

In G6, Randolph was provoked by Adams, who had not yet transformed into the Aquaman, during a retreat.

Don't think it's strange, the young Aquaman was such a character in the Thunder.

Specializes in provoking opponents with trash talk and small moves, irritating them, and trading with the opponent to the limit.

He probably never imagined that he would meet someone who could shoot accurately in the future to educate him.

Then Randolph was very angry and gave Adams a hidden elbow when he was close to him, directly to the neck.

The referee stopped the game at that time and sent Randolph out. In the end, the Grizzlies without Randolph also defeated the Thunder and lost G6.

I thought this was the end of the matter, but I didn't know that after the game, Randolph was suspended for an additional game by the league!

Being sent off wasn't enough, he had to be suspended for the next game.

Good guy, O'Neal was so mad at that time.

You can't bully me just because I come from a rural team!

In this series, Randolph averaged 18.2 points per game and was the Grizzlies' leading scorer.

In the crucial series G7, the opponent's top scorer was suspended. This kind of operation is simply unprecedented.

The reason is that Randolph's attack on the head with his hands is very bad, and the league's protection of players above the neck is very strict and will never allow such a thing to happen!

I'll ban you for one game and teach you a lesson. Don't be ungrateful!

To be honest, Randolph admitted that he was suspended because he was not calm.

But if there really needs to be a penalty, it should be for both parties, right?

Damn it, just in this round of the series, the Thunder have a lot of similar actions!

Not to mention Ibaka, after every game, Randolph's chest was bruised and bruised, and the old boy's elbow work was not bad either.

But it’s not the same thing.

The most outrageous thing is that in the previous game, Perkins sat down on Mike Miller while grabbing the ball, preventing him from standing up to defend.

It wasn't until he saw his teammates complete the shot that Perkins got up.

He just sat on him for several seconds without even a common foul.

I just raised my elbow and got suspended for a game and a half?

Damn it! This is not a large-scale double-standard scene!

Perkins: You can't talk nonsense! The alliance said that you were attacking the opponent with your hands, so the circumstances were serious. The fucking butt attack I used can’t count!

Fatty Lan felt that he had been unjustly killed. He couldn't play the key G7 as the top scorer. This was even more uncomfortable than eating Xiang.

Does that allow you to fight?

You forced the Young Master's team into such a miserable situation, this outcome is destined.

Even if they are not suspended, G7's whistle will definitely make the Grizzlies doubt their life.

The whole job of braised eggs has always been ruthless.

In this way, in the tiebreaker, the Thunder slaughtered the Grizzlies, who lacked a core, 120 to 109, and successfully advanced without any danger.

This is only the first round, and I have to use my godfather's power to win.

In the second round, the Trail Blazers faced the top Spurs, and were avenged by the Spurs after six games.

The Spurs are here to win the championship this year, and their fighting spirit is even higher than last season.

As everyone knows about the 2014 Spurs, they were the terrifying team that made the commentator say "the shooting percentage dropped to 70%."

The Blazers were able to defeat the Spurs last season mainly because Wayne's terrifying ball-holding spot disrupted the Spurs' defense, attracted three double-teams from the opposite side, and gave others many opportunities.

But this season, the Trail Blazers don't have such a ball-holding point.

Kaeva's single defense made Curry very uncomfortable. Neither Thompson nor Green had the ball. Jebo's current offense is still very rough and cannot pose a threat in the playoffs.

The team's offense was severely restricted, and on the defensive end, without Wayne, it was difficult to cope with the Spurs' smooth ball movement.

The Spurs staged a wave of violent beatings against primary school students, and their defense against primary school students was very rough.

But based on the principle that everyone is responsible for bullying primary school students, the referee doesn't care much.

In this way, the defending champion lost to the Spurs 2-4 and was eliminated early in the Western Conference semifinals.

The pioneer era has officially come to an end.

Lei Lei also followed the pace of the times, pressing the warrior of Pao'er to the ground with a combination of punches and rubbing him.

This combination punch is not an adjective, but a literal meaning.

David West's balls were beaten so many times by Ibaka.

Anyway, with a godfather to protect him, any Thunder player dares to fight hard.

Moreover, after suffering a serious injury last season, Paoer no longer has the dominance he had back then.

Although Pao'er is still the league's number one point guard, his running and jumping ability has still declined significantly.

Now, he is an out-and-out floor point guard.

He can revitalize a team and turn a team from 60 points to 90 points.

But it is difficult to dominate the game by himself.

In the end, Paoer's Warriors also lost 2-4, and the Thunder successfully reached the Western Conference Finals.

Seeing this, Lu Dan breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, as long as he can deal with the Spurs, his plan will be completed.

The Thunder and Heat, Durant and James, will meet in the finals!

This is a battle between two of the strongest local players!

The ratings are sure to be huge!

However, it is not as good as God. I never expected that Ibaka, the core of the Thunder's defense, would be injured in the Western Conference Finals.

Seeing that the team was likely to break out of the Western Conference, Ibaka also made the most unworthy decision in his life - to close the door and come back!

To be honest, Ibaka's fighting spirit and spirit are worthy of praise and respect.

Sacrifice the small self to achieve the greater self.

But in this business league, as a non-star, such a decision is really not worth it.

The Thunder will not remember Ibaka's sacrifice, and they will just resell it after many years.

And what did Ibaka pay?

It's your own health and your own career.

If Ibaka does not choose to make a closed comeback this time, his peak period may last for several years.

Unfortunately, once a decision is made, it cannot be regretted.

Ibaka's closed comeback allowed the Thunder to win the championship, which is still a legend.

The damn thing is.

The Thunder lost in the end!

Although Ibaka made a comeback after playing a closed game, his running and jumping ability has declined very seriously.

Without Ibaka at full strength, the Thunder's defense was simply wide open and turned into a sieve.

In one of the goals, Spurs substitute guard Joseph, who is not known for his athletic ability, dunked against the big devil Ibaka.

At that time, Deng Shu on the bench was so scared that he turned into Deng Shu.

Double daze!

When Duncan saw it, he thought, "I can have sex with you!"

He's really good.

In the next few games, Duncan attacked Ibaka with various carries. In the G6 overtime, he scored 7 points by himself, killing the game directly.

For comparison, the Spurs only had 11 points in overtime, while the Thunder only had 6 points in overtime.

The referee's whistle was still biased towards the Thunder, but with Ibaka injured, the Spurs finally defeated the Thunder 4-2 and advanced to the finals!

The moment the game ended, Luo Dan was dumbfounded.

This promoted the Heat VS Thunder, promoted Durant VS James, and promoted it for a whole season.

The result is Spurs VS Heat

Because the Spurs and James don't have much connection in this history, this finals matchup gives everyone a sense of meaninglessness.

The only suspense is whether Ajan can wear the crown.

However, things are not going well for the Heat.

This season, Wade's knees are almost useless and his playoff scoring plummeted from 22.8 points last season to 15.9 points.

Apo has been working hard for so many years but has not won the championship honor, and his fighting spirit has dropped seriously.

Moreover, news is spreading around the world that James may not renew his contract this summer.

James indeed did not make any contract renewal commitments to his teammates and management, which made the whole team panic.

James is waiting and watching. He is very dissatisfied with the Heat management's move to save money last summer by sending away Mike Miller.

He believes that the management no longer has the determination to win the championship.

If you are determined, do you care about that little money?

As for James, he can't afford it himself.

After coming to Miami for so many years, I still have nothing to gain.

If we don’t win again this year

Then he will most likely make decision 2.0.

Everyone has evil intentions, and the Heat's combat effectiveness is beginning to be disintegrated from within.

then. As soon as the finals started, James actually felt like he was in the Cavaliers 1.0 era.

The entire team rests on him, counting on him on both offense and defense.

Wade and Bosh are still giants in name only, but now they no longer have the strength of giants and can only be regarded as high-quality puzzle pieces at best.

As for the Spurs, the more they fight, the more courageous they become. Everyone can pass and everyone can defend.

Kawhi seized the opportunity to shine and became a top potential stock from a small transparent company.

On the other hand, for the Heat, Chalmers even had a conflict with James on the spot.

There is internal strife, so how can we talk about winning the championship?

Fans speculated that Chalmers was too brave and dared to quarrel with James.

If he doesn't want to mess around anymore, he will definitely be cleared out by the Heat.

Wayne: Haha, Mous actually dared to quarrel with Cha Thigh. It's gone, it's definitely gone.

4 to 1, the Spurs did not give the Heat any chance.

A gentleman swept across and gave the Big Three endless despair.

The finals were so fast that the fans didn’t even react.

Moreover, in four of the five games, the Heat were defeated and entered garbage time directly.

The old thieves were all happy at the time, the Heat's three giants, that's it?

Just like this, Wayne actually fought with them six times last year?

waste! No wonder he retired.

Although the Spurs are without Green, the result has not changed.

The Heat's defeat cannot be reversed by Green.

The biggest shortcoming of this disparity in strength in the finals is that the ratings cannot rise.

Compared with last year's peak showdown between Wayne and James, the ratings were simply dropped.

Everyone thought that without Wayne, the Heat would finally take the lead.

Everyone is looking forward to James wearing the crown.

Who knew that in the end it was the idiot who stood up.

Deng Shu: Hehe, I didn’t expect that. I am the strongest striker after Wayne. Now that Wayne is gone, I must be the one in charge!

Fans who have been looking forward to the king's enthronement for a whole year, who would have thought that the king slipped and fell to his death before he ascended the throne.

Watching the idiot holding the cup, watching Leonard appearing out of nowhere to win the FMVP.

Most fans only have one sentence in their minds: RNM, refund your money!

Luodan was also heartbroken. Although Duncan's popularity is not low, one thing is that the commercial value is not on the same level as James.

The San Antonio Spurs have never had anything to do with the word commercial value.

Luodan originally wanted to rely on the game of the century between Durant and James to survive, but now this...

When he presented the award to the Spurs that night, Luodan's face looked very ugly.

The next day, negotiations for a new broadcast contract were still not going well.

The reason is also very simple. The ability to attract money in the playoffs is very unconvincing and there is no capital to increase the price.

Then, one day at the end of June, when Director Wei and Director Gong officially started training the team, a breaking news broke in the basketball circle.

"The NBA president is hospitalized due to acute cerebral infarction caused by high blood pressure. The league is currently under the temporary stewardship of Vice President Mark Tatum."

This time, Wayne didn't turn off the screen immediately, but frowned.

Isn't Ning's cerebral infarction really a sequelae of my elbow?

If so. That would be great!

Lu Dan's health has not been good these years, which is something that has never happened in the original history.

Why does Wayne have a vague feeling that this alliance is going to change?

Attention: Eggs are always in danger!
