I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 349 The King of the New Era (End of the book)
"He Li, don't trade me away, unless I really can't move."

For He Li, every summer means that some accidents may happen.

Unexpectedly, this year it was Wade who took the initiative to come to the door to confide in him.

Perhaps Boozer took the initiative to apply for a trade, which touched Wade's sensitive nerves. Wade worried that the Bucks management and He Li were suspicious of him, so he took the initiative to ask He Li to confess his thoughts.

"The Bucks drafted me, I played in Milwaukee, I became famous, I became an All-Star, I won six championships.

I have nothing to repay, only to tide over the difficulties together with the Bucks.

Regardless of whether it is glory or hardship in the future, I will definitely stay with the Bucks and achieve one person, one city.

I believe that as long as the two of us work together, we will be able to do it and win a few more championships!I firmly believe. "

The name of Wade moved He Li greatly.

Thinking of the relationship between Wade and James, He Li felt that Wade seemed like an old-school player who would not betray his brother, was willing to tide over difficulties with him, and stick to one man, one city to the end.

"Understood, I will tell them. Dwyane, you go back first!"

He Li is going to tell the management not to be too stingy when it comes to renewing Wade's contract.

It might feel good to be able to play side by side with an old brother for a dozen seasons and retire together at about the same time.

However, it will be more than ten years later, and it is still early to think about this.

As for He Li's contract renewal, Wade will also renew his contract. Where can the team find the salary space?
Hasn't this increased a lot in recent years?
When He Li first entered the league, the salary cap was only 4200 million, and now it is almost 6000 million.

In another two years, if it wasn't for He Li's 2000 million maximum salary contract extension, the Bucks would be able to eat another 1000 million maximum salary contract.

So He Li is not worried about the contract extension. Two years later, the team's salary space is 6000 million, which can take He Li and Wade's two 2000 million, plus Durant's 1000 million maximum salary contract.

The remaining 1000 million to sign other players is about the same.

Anyway, the Bucks mainly rely on rookie bonuses, plus basic salary veterans.

Besides, He Li, Wade, and Durant will renew their contracts, and the Bucks will at best exceed 2000 million.

You must know that in the past two years, the Knicks, who are stupid and rich, have a salary of more than 9000 million, and the Mavericks and Lakers are also more than 8000 million.

As for the Bucks, there has always been a rookie bonus to eat. He Li's previous maximum salary contract was the first 1000 million maximum salary, so the team's salary space is relatively healthy.

Otherwise, in order to compete for the championship or defend the championship, the Bucks will have to dig an All-Star from outside
, The team reached the salary level of 9000 million.

"He Li, I am willing to make sacrifices for the team. In my next contract, I only want a maximum salary contract of 25% of the salary cap." Wade was concerned, but confused, and mistakenly thought that He Li asked him to go back, because he was about to give up on him.

Ever since, Wade took a step back and said that he would take the initiative to cut his salary.

Wade's last contract was a maximum salary contract close to 25% of the salary cap, only a little bit worse than James and Anthony.

Although the league's salary cap has risen a lot, Wade's 25% salary cap extension contract should be within the range of Bird Rights' annual increase of 10.5%, and it may not be 5%.

At that time, the starting salary may only be 1400 million, which is not far from He Li's 1800 million, and the follow-up salary increase may not reach the maximum 10.5%.

Because the Bucks management knows that Wade has a strong willingness to stay in the team, so for the team to go further and achieve more brilliant achievements, if Wade is wronged, I am afraid it will be wronged.

If this is the case, when the second maximum salary contract of the two is almost implemented, I am afraid that He Li will have 500 million, but Wade will not even have 2000 million.

He Li naturally doesn't want Wade to suffer, and Wade's salary cut will not have much effect.

Anyway, it's just a space of 400 million. In two years, there should be two basic salary contracts.

As long as the rookies are well selected and practiced, what if there are two less basic salary contracts?
Soon, He Li dispelled Wade's worries in a few words.

Afterwards, he made a fortune in a muffled voice and completed the renewal of the maximum salary contract with the Bucks.

And contact Paul George, finish the summer league, and report to his training camp on time.

The next two years are still relatively important for the Bucks.

If David Lee can't practice next season, then David Lee's poison contract will fall into his own hands.

And once David Lee needs to be digested by the Bucks themselves, Gasol Jr. has no ball rights to train, and the Bucks have no chance to make room for the inside rookies selected later.

Therefore, next season, I will try to help David Lee hit the All-Star inside data before the All-Star Weekend. Taking advantage of the fact that David Lee's poison contract has not yet taken effect two years later, he will be sold to other teams, which happens to be exchanged for the 11-year draft pick.

……

Time came to October, and the Bucks in the new season have changed their lineup.

Although He Li has always been a point forward before, but this time in order to make room for Durant and not to delay the training of Paul George, He Li officially transferred to the position of point guard.

Durant started, He Li played point guard, and the team had to train David Lee. With so many changes, it would really make the Bucks uncomfortable for a while.

Fortunately, after a bad preseason and a difficult November, the Bucks quickly ushered in new changes in December and produced a good chemical reaction.

In early January, the Bucks successfully returned to the top eight in the East and played better and better.

David Lee's data also suddenly evolved towards 15.6 points and 8.5 rebounds from the previous two months, averaging 18 points and 10 rebounds per game.

It is worth mentioning that before the All-Star Weekend, David Li Bai played a role as an insider and was successfully selected as a backup forward in the Eastern Conference for the All-Star Game.

Seeing the success of the plan, the Bucks management struck while the iron was hot and sent David Lee to the Knicks overnight.

It just so happened that David Lee wanted to play in a big city, and the Knicks also hated playing poorly and wanted to get results sooner.

Therefore, the Bucks traded David Lee for two first-round picks in the next draft, as well as a bunch of air.

After this season is over, Durant will have the salary space to renew his contract.

However, the Bucks have calculated the future, but this season is a bit sluggish.

Originally, after the All-Star Weekend, the second half of the regular season was to train Gasol Jr.

But Gasol, who got a lot of ball rights for a while and has been wasted for several seasons, suddenly felt full, couldn't eat, and couldn't digest so many ball rights.

For a while, except for the Bucks' problems, the Eastern Conference regular season rankings dropped by two positions.

Fortunately, they can still make it to the playoffs, but this year the Bucks are really the weakest inside.

In late April, the playoffs started. The Bucks defeated the Magic 4-4 in the first round.

But in the second round of the seven-game battle with the Cavaliers, he was almost defeated by the black whistle.

Fortunately, G7 He Li once again turned on the button of the gods, scoring 67 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists, leading the Bucks to the Eastern Conference Finals.

To be reasonable, turning a living point guard into a small forward is nothing.

In this game, Durant, who was a little handsome, could only sit on the sidelines full of thoughts, occasionally scratching his itch, eating some crispy noodles, crispy corners and so on.

In the Eastern Conference finals, the Bucks played against the Bulls led by Rose and Noah. This time the Bucks have suffered their own consequences.

Facing Rose, who played unparalleled in every game, and Noah, who integrated offense and defense inside, the Bucks played a little weakly.

Without the help of the black whistle, the Bucks might still be able to reach the finals, but this year they can only shake their heads and finish the Eastern Conference finals when they meet the Bulls, who are destined to be in their hands.

If Noah hadn't exchanged with Durant at the beginning, perhaps the Bucks would not have lost to the Bulls.

In the end, the Bulls, who defeated the Bucks 4-2 and reached the finals, also took the look of a new king, and the gentleman swept the Lakers who returned to the finals 4-1.

In this regard, the Big Three of the Lakers fell apart.

Garnett is too old, Arenas is too ambitious, and Kobe is the absolute core of the Lakers that has remained unchanged for 20 years.

In the case of repeated setbacks by the Big Three, the Lakers can only reorganize their luxury lineup and fight for the championship, but this will take time.

Similarly, it will take some time and opportunities for the Bucks to return to the Finals.

In the 11 draft, the Bucks had a great harvest. In the first round, they won Leonard with the 8th pick, Vucevic with the 14th pick, and Butler with the 21st pick. The only pity is that they failed to win Thompson.

However, winning Leonard has gained a lot, let alone missing Vucevic and Butler.

As for the group of rookies selected four years ago, some players are ready to give up.

The Bucks have too many people on the front line. Brewer is a good player, but there is not much training value in the Bucks.

Butler's defensive prowess and aggressiveness will help the Bucks more than Brewer's.

If it weren't for the Bucks still competing for the championship last season, Brewer would also be traded out in advance.

Now if you are looking for a team to sign first and then change, and you are afraid of being let go, you can only let it go.

And then there's Afflalo.

Butler can be 2 or 3, because the Bucks have too many strikers, so it is no problem to top the 2nd position first.

Then, there is no need for Afflalo, who is less physically gifted, to stay in the Bucks.

Right now the Bucks lack a suitable point guard and continue to train inside players.

Vucevic is the next target for the Bucks to train. This can't be like Gasol before, just let it go, and it will rot.

Fortunately, in the past two summers, Gasol has been practicing with He Li, his potential has not been exhausted, and he may not have a chance to reach the peak, but it is not a big problem to become an All-Star.

It was another busy summer, the Bucks renewed Durant's contract, and He Li opened the training camp to give pointers to the rookies one by one.

In October, the preseason started, and the bad situation happened again, but it was better than last year.

The regular season officially started at the end of October, and the Bucks unexpectedly made great strides all the way, winning 10 consecutive victories.

Later, because Wade suffered another injury, his record fluctuated slightly, but Paul George, who had been trained for a year, was a little out of practice, and he filled the vacancy in time, so the problem was not too big.

When Wade returned from injury in January, Gasol also had a stable performance of 1+15, and the Bucks' championship journey began again.

At the end of March, the Bucks finally returned to the No. 3 position in the East relying on their recent winning streak.

With such a performance from a group of rookies, it is difficult for the Bucks not to become a strong team in the forefront of the championship.

On April 4, the playoffs started again.

Coincidentally, this year's first-round opponent of the Bucks is last year's sufferer - the Bulls.

Because of his outstanding performance, Rose also found many defenders' challenges in the regular season this season.

Then hit the name, the rose suddenly withered.

However, under the leadership of Noah, the defending champion still entered the playoffs, but as the eighth in the Eastern Conference.

If they meet other teams, the Bulls may still be able to play a dozen games, but if they meet the Avengers Bucks, they can only bear the pain and are beaten by the Bucks for 4 consecutive games, ending this year's playoffs early.

Streak, another streak.

In the second round of the playoffs, the Bucks easily defeated the Magic led by the injured Howard.

Howard, who played happy basketball, was no longer happy after meeting the Bucks in the playoffs several times and then getting frustrated.

But there is no way, who in the league can stop the Bucks who have restarted the championship mode?
In the Eastern Conference finals, the Bucks once again encountered the Cavaliers led by James, and finally won 4-2, advancing to the finals to join forces with the Spurs.

Fans feel that the Spurs are old, but from a player perspective, the Spurs are at their peak.

It's just the tail of the peak.

As for the Bucks, that is the real peak.

This year's Bucks are not weak inside, and with the three super giants He Li, Wade, and Durant in charge, it is really difficult not to win the finals.

Although the Spurs have black whistle to help, but a game is scored by whistle, only twenty or thirty points.

Even if the referee forcefully sends [-] or [-] free throws, it will take more than a dozen possessions.

The Spurs' scoring is not considered efficient. Even if they score more points, the Bucks shoot a few more three-pointers, and everything comes back.

Not to mention, now that the Bucks' perimeter defense may require Jordan, Kobe, and Iverson to play together, it will be torn apart.

The Spurs have nothing to do with the Bucks outside, so the Shunfeng Sports Car and the Adversity Demon Knife are of little use.

The only thing he can rely on is the unsmiling Duncan, but Duncan is really old.

4 to 1, another championship.

This time He Li won the FMVP without much suspense. Although it was not full of votes, it was still elected with seven votes, a high vote.

As a result, He Li has already won 9 championships and 9 FMVPs.

Next, I will fight for the third Olympic gold medal in my career.

It's a pity that even with He Li's reminder, Yao Ming still had knee problems in the past two years.

Regarding Yao Ming's ability to participate in the next Olympic Games, He Li can only say that he can fight, but not more.

Basketball is a team sport. If you want to achieve results, you can't do it if your teammates are too good.

Although Yi Jianlian has come out of practice, only He Li, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian can really play in the men's basketball team.

I have to say that playing basketball is really talented.

Maybe there are still many geniuses in China, but life is too comfortable, too rich, who will play?

There are more people playing games than balls.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. He Li led the men's basketball team to the Olympic Games three times, and encountered several obstacles as early as the group stage.

The men's basketball team reached the quarter-finals with the third place in the group. They were lucky enough to pass the first round, but fell to the semi-finals.

Fortunately, in the bronze medal competition, He Li led the team to a super performance of 42 points in a single game, and the men's basketball team still kept a medal.

After the Olympics ended, He Li returned to Milwaukee, and Wade's contract extension was also done.

It was originally the same team that won the championship, and the rookies have become stronger in the new season. It is only natural for the Bucks to continue to win the championship when almost all members are healthy.

No one expected that He Li, who had just passed his 30th birthday, would already have 10 championship rings.

But because the FMVP when the Bucks won the championship was monopolized by He Li, someone inside the Bucks finally had an opinion.

In the past two years, Durant has had FMVP votes in the finals every year.

Durant is indeed playing better and more efficiently, but it is becoming more and more difficult to go further and become famous.

Ever since, Durant, like Boozer before him, had not yet expired, and took the initiative to apply for a trade after winning the championship, to become the boss of other teams, and strive for his championship and FMVP.

He Li didn't pay much attention to this.

Everyone has the right to choose life.

Besides, trading Durant will make the Bucks suffer a bit.

But Paul George has also played out. The Bucks don't have enough possessions and just need to solve this problem. Durant left voluntarily, which saved some trouble.

The draft and the departure of players are like the sprouting and falling of a leaf, and it will not have much impact on the tree itself.

The Bucks lineup for the new season has not changed much, that is, possible injuries must be considered.

Fortunately, two years ago, after He Li signed the maximum salary, he had already purchased the James template. Among other things, his ability to resist injuries was full.

Therefore, He Li has been very healthy for the past two years, except for catching a cold or burning his mouth from eating hot pot, he has not suffered any injuries.

If He Li is healthy, the Bucks will be able to play, and the rookies have also grown up vigorously. They are full of energy and energy, which has brought a lot of help to the Bucks.

It was another year of playoffs, and the Bucks once again rushed to the finals unstoppably.

This time I met a Western team that I had never met before-the Warriors.

Now the Warriors' Splash Brothers are in place, but they haven't yet reached their peak.

A young star led a young team, reached the finals for the first time, and happened to meet the Bucks who were too mature to mature, and could only pay a tuition fee in the end.

After the Gentlemen swept the Warriors 4-1, He Li was finally the only player in the league in terms of absolute honor.

11 championships, and 11 FMVPs.

"As I said earlier, I am optimistic about this kid He Li.

What he has achieved now may only be possible if the two of me play together.

There is nothing bad to say, there is no doubt that he is the king of this era. "

Since He Li won six championships, Jordan has hardly talked about him in public.

Now that He Li has won 11 championships, no matter how hard Jordan speaks, it will not help.

That being the case, it would be better to be more generous and simply admit He Li's status as No.1 in active service.

As for the history, let the people of the future tell it!
Jordan also knows that times have changed!As someone who has experienced it, he can no longer change anything.

In other words, He Li transformed this era, so He Li can become the only king, and no one can compete with him.

"I don't know, who will be the king of the next era? Will anyone challenge He Li's position in the future?"

"Ugh……"

The whole book is finished.
