I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 246 245. Your father is the GOAT
The NBA suffered a lockout in 2011-12. After the old labor contract expired, the bosses tried to introduce a hard salary cap for their own benefit, and at the same time drastically cut the proportion of player salaries.

This operation made the players very dissatisfied, and the players union represented by Fisher submitted a lawsuit to the labor arbitration agency.

The two sides negotiated for 7 hours from July to November. The players union and the league reached a new agreement, agreeing to reduce the proportion of player salaries in expenditures, and cancel many special clauses at the same time.

David Stern announced that the new season will officially restart on Christmas Day!
At this time, the news that Chen Long decided to come back hit the headlines of all parties.

Because of his perfect performance in his rookie season, his sudden rapid retirement also cast a layer of mystery on Chen Long.

As the player closest to God, Chen Long's return will directly change the pattern of the NBA in the new season.

The controversial Big Three of the Heat were put on the fire.

The Heat, which could not win the championship in the first year, is different from the Lakers who fell in the finals twice before, because LeBron, Bosh and Wade started the era of salary cuts and teamwork.

The twin stars of Chen Long and Rose are the strongest obstacle to prevent the Heat from winning the championship.

Just like Jordan saved the league after his comeback, Chen Long's comeback also brought a lot of capital investment and unprecedented attention.

Coupled with this special time point, some people say that David Stern asked Chen Long to announce his comeback at this critical moment.

David Stern said with a smile, "If I can influence Chen Long's thinking, I will not let him retire, because the league needs Chen Long."

David Stern, who is ready to step down from the position of president, has chosen his successor, and it is his old partner Adam Silva.

As for the former successor Adam Silver, he still has not been recalled by Stern.

The lockout gave Chen Long time for recovery training.

In the past two years, Chen Long has never even touched basketball.

Familiar arena, familiar companions, Chen Long and Ross played ONE ON ONE, this feeling has not been seen for a long time.

Chen Long's dribbling is already rusty, and Rose has played his own peak performance, except for unsolvable breakthroughs and more precise three-pointers.

As the second youngest MVP in NBA history besides Chen Long, Rose's ability is unquestionable, and he is also full of anger.

Although Ross accepted Chen Long's sudden retirement idea, and Chen Long told Ross in advance, but Ross didn't know when Chen Long would choose to come back.

Rose once thought that Chen Long would come back before the end of the regular season last season, because the Bulls swept the Heat in the regular season, which does not mean that they will still have the last laugh in the playoffs.

Gemini against the Big Three, Brothers Basketball VS Brothers Basketball.

Until the Bulls fell into desperation in the Eastern Conference Finals, Rose believed that Chen Long was definitely ready to come back, but Chen Long didn't even make a phone call.

This is why Ross is angry.

Chen Long has a clear life plan, so he is naturally very happy as a brother. However, Ross is not a passive person, so Ross decided to 'explode' Chen Long.

After the opening game, Rose made a big change of direction, swayed Chen Long and stepped back for a three-pointer, and the basketball flew into the basket with precision. Rose laughed, "In two years, I have already surpassed you!"

Hearing such trash talk, Chen Long replied, "Go ahead."

Chen Long still didn't defend Rose, and Rose made a fake shot to sway Chen Long to the basket and made a layup.

"What happened to your defense?"

Chen Long just smiled and didn't speak.

Sitting on the sidelines, Jokinoah and others looked quite comfortable, because in their hearts, the Bulls should now be Rose's team, and after Rose retires, the Bulls will definitely retire Rose's jersey like they did with those four people.

Chen Long may not be able to get this treatment, although Chen Long has MVP and FMVP, and brought the Bulls a championship after ten years.

But retiring after playing for only one year is too special. Now that Chen Long has returned to the Bulls, no one knows how long he will play this time, so Noah and others sincerely hope that Rose can beat Chen Long.

Chen Long said, "Actually, I haven't touched basketball for two years."

The moment Chen Long touched the basketball, it was as if he met the most familiar stranger.

After closing the ball and dribbling again, Chen Long slowly let his body regain the feeling of touching the ball.

Rose laughed, "I won't bully you."

"You'd better use all your strength."

As soon as Chen Long's voice fell, he shot directly from the outside line. The basketball drew an arc and entered the frame with a swipe.

Noah and the others were all dumbfounded, they all stood up and looked at Chen Long with a surprised expression.

"You really haven't played in two years?"

Seeing Chen Long's standard shooting posture, Ross felt that he was being played.

"Really."

Chen Long replied with a smile, after receiving the basketball, he made another shot from the same position, and the basketball went into the frame again, which felt like nothing else.

Rose shook his head, "This is so ridiculous, I don't believe your words!"

Noah and the others didn't believe Chen Long either.

Then, Darlene, who was sitting on the sidelines, hugged the child and said, "I can testify that Aaron really hasn't played in the past two years."

Chen Long went on to say, "Raising a baby is more interesting than playing basketball."

Rose went to the basket by changing direction, but Chen Long caught up and sent a pegboard cap from behind, which directly made Rose doubt his life.

"I need to get back to my form, you have to do your best."

Chen Long's words made Ross laugh angrily, you are so strong and still looking for status?
But Rose would never admit cowardice, and said stiffly, "Of course, I will teach you a wayward guy."

Ross made another breakthrough by changing the direction of the limit, and then turned around to judge Chen Long's position. If the former Chen Long would have defended him, but the current Chen Long's reaction is indeed much slower than before.

Chen Long watched Ross succeed in the dunk and applauded, "That's what makes it interesting."

"Ross is now the MVP, and the next step is to become the scoring champion, Aaron, be careful!"

Noah's words made Chen Long amused, because he knew Ross's power better than anyone else.

Chen Long made a crossover with the ball to shake Rose away, and then used a hesitant step to shake Rose's center of gravity, made an emergency stop on the left side of the free throw line and hit a jumper.

"Is this killer instinct?!"

Noah directly supported his forehead, and he actually gave Chen Long his opinion. This kind of approach is really stupid...

Chen Long passed Rose again with a Rose-style change of direction, and went to the basket with the ball to show off a backhand layup with an extreme pull-bar.

Wow!Noah and others are crazy!

This is a man who hasn't played in more than two years?Who are you kidding, Chen Long's performance is like God descending on the stadium!

Ross also smiled helplessly, because Chen Long has not changed from before. Chen Long is the strongest man on the offensive end that Ross has ever seen, bar none!

Darlene held her son's little hand and applauded Chen Long, then said to him, "Your father is the GOAT!"
