The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 310 The end of the season, Godfather Si's compromise

There is another reason for the league to deal with Xiao Tian like this. The Grizzlies are a team outside the United States. They are not located in the United States, and they have not been established for three years.

If Xiao Tian was in the Lakers, or the Knicks, Godfather Si would definitely not attack Xiao Tian so quickly.

Without Xiao Tian, ​​the Grizzlies still have to continue playing. Xiao Tian can live without basketball, and they will really starve to death without basketball.

But without Xiao Tian, ​​the ratings of the Grizzlies' games plummeted. Even the most important games, such as the Lakers and Jazz, were not immune.

Most NBA players expressed regret for Xiao Tian's retirement, because Xiao Tian was really a formidable opponent.Of course, there are a few people who are happy for Xiao Tian's departure, such as Hardt, Reggie Miller, and Brian Reeves.

Xiao Tian has returned to the life of an otaku. Apart from training every day, he is just dictating crazily. He has almost finished writing the later parts of "Kunlun". Originally, Xiao Tian didn't want to continue copying, but Mr. Jin said that this domestic novel received a good response, so Xiao Tian copied all the later parts of "Kunlun".

Xiao Tian is far away from the basketball court, but the legend of him is still circulating in the NBA. The playoffs will be one month later. Although Xiao Tian is gone, the Grizzlies still have the first record in the Western Conference. Their opponent in the playoffs is the Huskies, and the Grizzlies' final record is 69-13, which did not break the record set by Jordan for the Bulls.

The Bulls in the Eastern Conference still had an outstanding record of 70-12. This record allowed Jordan to win the mvp again, but the decline in NBA ratings was an indisputable fact. Xiao Tian stayed away from everyone's sight after announcing his retirement.

Stern looked at the mess left by Xiao Tian's retirement, and his heart was filled with chills. It was all money, and it was hard to get Dongfang Investment. Because of Xiao Tian's retirement, 70.00% of these investors chose to withdraw their capital. This is even more uncomfortable than directly killing Godfather Si.

Joey Crawford still hasn't revoked his referee's license, he is still doing well on the field, but because of the ferment of the Xiao Tian incident, he was also called to give a warning by his master, which made Joey Crawford very wronged, obviously you ordered me to do it, but why did something happen and let me top the vat.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Grizzlies defeated the Timberwolves 3:1, which was considered normal. Without Xiao Tian, ​​they still had Duncan as a rock-solid existence. Although Xiao Tian retired, he was selected to the NBA First Team for two consecutive years. The hit rate is less than 25%. His performance made Glen Taylor even more determined not to give the other party a big contract.

Time soon came to June, Xiao Tian left Vancouver and came to France, because the World Cup was about to start, and he also wanted to meet some of his favorite football superstars.

The two teams in the finals returned to the original history of the Jazz and the Bulls, but this time there is no death gun, which directly reduces the strength of the Jazz by one-third. Jordan led the Bulls to sweep each other cleanly 4:0. Stockton and Karl Malone’s first trip to the finals ended hastily.

After the season ended, the Grizzlies chose to renew the contract with some people, such as Death Light Gun, Lei Gong, Human Movie Essence and Isaiah Ryder. Now that the team does not have Xiao Tian, ​​if these people leave, then it is really impossible to play.

In the finals of this season, because of the absence of Xiao Tian and the Grizzlies, the ratings were simply appalling. Many seats were empty, which was understandable in Salt Lake City, but it was unacceptable for Chicago. Jordan finally understood one thing, Xiao Tian had surpassed himself in terms of influence.

The flying man was very tired. He held a press conference the day after the championship parade and announced his retirement as well. This caught Stern off guard, and his godfather quickly pushed away the lingering love of several goddaughters and came to Jordan's home in New York.

"Michael, why did you choose to retire? You are in good condition." Godfather Si knew very well that if Jordan also retired, then the NBA would almost be the finale. With Xiao Tian gone, he would also retire, so it would be too difficult for the NBA to find an existence that could match the popularity and strength of these two in a short period of time.

Jordan lay on a bench, bathing in the sun, looking very peaceful, "Because, I don't think there is any challenge anymore. The only opponent has retired. I will continue to play and win the championship. I know this, but it's too boring. I can't bear this feeling, so I might as well retire. And the NBA will be suspended next season. Now is a good time." Retiring at this time is the best choice, leaving the beautiful side for everyone to remember.

Godfather Si knows that Jordan has already made up his mind, and the lockout is something that cannot be changed, so now he can only persuade another protagonist.

Stern is very aggrieved. He actually asked his grandpa to sue his grandma to find players, hoping that the other party would come back. If it was two years ago, it would be a joke, and he would not believe it. But now he has to admit that he has lost Jordan. If he loses Xiao Tian, ​​then the NBA will really end. Although Iverson, Kobe and others are good, their growth rate is too slow compared to Xiao Tian, ​​let alone other people.

Feng Dust came to Xiao Tian's house in Vancouver, but the person who opened the door was not Xiao Tian, ​​but Ryan, 'Hi Ms. Ryan, can we talk? "Godfather Si knows Ryan, and this is Xiao Tian's agent. Although there is only one player under his banner, Xiao Tian, ​​her current income is no less than that of those veteran agents.

Ryan let the other party in and made him a cup of coffee. Godfather Stern was in a hurry and was in no mood to drink it. "Where is Heaven? Is he really planning to retire? He's only under 22 years old." Stern still took a sip of coffee, which was bitter enough.

Ryan didn't feel inferior because Stern is the leader of the NBA. He has more energy than Stern, and he hasn't seen it before. "He doesn't want to retire, but Heaven said that he doesn't hate basketball, but he hates all kinds of unfairness in the NBA, especially for Asians and some civilian teams. Those wealthy teams will always get a lot of benefits from the court than ordinary people, and this makes him feel disgusted. So Mr. Stern, you understand what Heaven means."
