Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 831
When the Rockets formed the Big Three in the summer, although the Warriors felt that the storm was coming, there was still a long way to go before the start of the new season, so they didn't make any remarks, and it didn't seem very urgent.

However, when the new season was about to start, all the fans were dumbfounded when the league's new season's schedule came down. The first reaction was that the league was going to make trouble!
Because, in the opening game of the new season, the first game happens to be the Warriors vs. Rockets.

Almost everyone thinks that if this alliance is not intentional, then it must be hell.

Therefore, while the fans despise the league, they also secretly give the league a thumbs up. How do you know we want to watch this?

The league pushes hard and the fans love to watch it. The combination of these factors makes this opening game the most watched opening game of the new season, but for the Warriors, it is not very friendly, because the new season is about to start. A few days ago, while the preseason was still going on, the team's main force, Rodman, was injured.

As for the cause of his injury, it didn't actually come from on the court, but off the court.

Since the early 90s, Madonna undoubtedly saw Rodman's outstanding performance in the finals, causing the American singer to start chasing Rodman.

Rodman was obviously helpless in the face of such sugar-coated shells, and the two quickly came together.

However, although the pair of "Prodigal Son and Mother" became the focus of media attention across Mimi at the time, the relationship between the two was not stable all the time, but intermittent.

Although the two had their own love history during this period, they really did not break up with each other, and it lasted for several years. During the preseason, the two undoubtedly rekindled their old relationship.

At that time, the battle between them was extremely fierce. When the two were naked and fighting fiercely, Rodman sat on a chair, Madonna stepped back dozens of steps, and then they rushed and Rodman staged a hole-in-one match. game.

And it was this game that directly caused Rodman to be injured, and even caused Rodman to miss the much-anticipated opener.

When the soldiers of the Warriors heard the reason for Rodman's injury, everyone had only one feeling, that is, the absurd mother opened the door to the absurd, and the absurd got home!
Regardless of how unacceptable this incident is, the Warriors can only finally accept the reality that Rodman cannot play in the opening game after yelling at the two in the locker room.

In fact, there are many things to do in the opening game of this day. Since it is held at the Warriors' home court, the championship ring will also be awarded.

This is Li Weisi's fourth NBA championship ring. The craftsmanship of the entire ring is the same as before, without any discounts. Gold, platinum, diamonds, etc. are all available, and the price of the entire ring is a breakthrough. 75.

Of course, this amount of money is less than 2000 million U.S. dollars, and Frank won't take it seriously at all, let alone the money can go to the team's account.

In addition, when Frank gave everyone a ring, Frank did not forget to give himself one. Speaking of which, the championship ring in Frank's hand at this time made many players who had played for a lifetime envious, including watching They lead the Rockets Big Three in the ring.

After receiving the championship ring ceremony, Moses Malone's retirement ceremony was held at home.

The veteran who has struggled in the league for 21 years finally ushered in the end of his sports career.

Last season, he underwent surgery for a torn Achilles tendon in his calf after not playing a few games. Even if he came back in the playoffs, his physical condition could not be guaranteed, and he did not even get the last chance to play.

Therefore, even though Moses Malone was awarded a championship ring today, Malone doesn't think that this ring has anything to do with him, and he just won it lying down.

Regarding Malone's retirement ceremony, the Warriors held a very grand ceremony. Not only did teammates speak, the boss spoke, Barkley also spoke, and even Dr. J, who has retired, was invited. It can be said that the Warriors spent a lot of thought.

However, for Ma Long, it is worthwhile to spend a lot of thought.

Throughout his professional basketball career, Malone played 1455 games with one offense, including 1329 games in the NBA, second only to Robert Parish and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, ranking third in NBA history.

Although Parish has not retired at this time, he has played 1494 games, which is still higher than Moses Malone.

He scored a total of 19 points in 27409 seasons. At this time, he was only ranked third in NBA history after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Chamberlain.

However, it is foreseeable that his third place in history is not safe. At this time, the closest to him are Jordan's 24489 points and Li Weisi's 21307 points.

It seems that it is only a matter of time before Malone's 27409 points are surpassed.

In addition, he also ranked first in NBA history with 8531 free throws, and 11090 free throws, ranking second in history, only with Chamberlain.

16212 rebounds ranked fifth in history, of which 6731 offensive rebounds ranked first in history, which was more than 2000 higher than the second-ranked player. This is the first and second place in the technical indicators of the entire NBA at this time The one with the largest gap between names.

Of course, in a few years, this record will be replaced by the number of assists created by Stockton.

In addition, there are 587 offensive rebounds in a season and 21 offensive rebounds in a game, two league records.

In addition to these amazing statistics, what can best prove Malone's superstar status is the eye-catching honors.

Three regular season MVPs, one FMVP, 5 championships, 4 first-team All-NBA teams, and 6 rebounding champions. It can be said that at this time, Moses Malone is firmly among the top ten stars in NBA history, even the top five. It is not impossible.

Of course, this top five is very dangerous. Among other things, just because Jordan and Li Weisi retire, Ma Long's ranking will drop by at least two places.

Everyone's speeches at the scene were not too long, but the affection contained in everyone's words was hard to express, especially Barkley, who seemed to be ahead of schedule after learning the news of his most beloved big brother's retirement before the game. I have prepared a speech, and tonight's speech made people laugh with tears and have endless aftertastes.

Soon, the microphone fell into the hands of Moses Malone, who will undoubtedly make the final concluding remarks.

"Everyone knows that I am a man of few words, and likewise, everyone knows that I am a wanderer.

In the first ten years of my career, I wandered around. Counting the ABA, I changed five teams in ten years. However, when I came to the Warriors, I didn't expect that the Warriors would give me a home.

In this way, I, the prodigal son, finally found a place to dock, and I, the lonely warrior, was finally no longer alone!

Thank you, Frank!Thank you, West!Thank you too, GSW! "
