NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Chapter 429 Regret Medicine

As Zhou Yao scored the last goal.

Staples Center cheered.

It’s not that Los Angeles fans have defected again.

The real situation is.

Due to Kobe's foul, Zhou Yao missed his final three-pointer.

Three free throws.

3 free throws.

It wasn't until Zhou Yao scored the last goal that Staples fans made it official.

The Lakers won.

The total score is 3:2.

Next, as long as they win one more game, the Lakers will be this year's championship.

The Lakers' last championship was in 2004.

That year, there were Kobe, O'Neal, Malone, and Payton on the team.

That year.

Kobe is not yet 26 years old.

O'Neal has just turned 32 years old.

Payton is about to turn 36.

Karl Malone will be 41 years old soon.

However, both Payton and Malone played hard.

They are already in the twilight of their careers.

They're just here to hug you.

Barkley in 02.

Ewing, Manning, Oakley, Richmond, and Gill in 03.

These people were a great inspiration to them.

Take advantage of the fact that you still have some gas in your tank.

Come hug me and give yourself a more decent ending.

Malone even persuaded his old partner Stockton.

Last year, Stockton averaged 10.8 points and 7.7 assists per game.

If he is willing to come, this championship will be more secure.

But Stockton didn't agree.

He is already the league's history leader in total assists and total steals.

Fighting in the league for 19 seasons.

Leading the team in steals twice and assists nine times.

2Except for that damn championship.

All honors are there.

I have no regrets.

He has been with the Jazz his whole life, and he doesn't want to end up hugging the young man's lap.

But although there is no Stockton.

The Lakers still won the championship that year.

When the Pacers were finally defeated.

Several grown men hugged each other and cried.

Payton and Malone have been suppressed by Jordan for too long.

Kobe and O'Neal are better.

But they could have had a three-peat.

In fact, they also made it to the finals.

However, they encountered Jordan who averaged over 50 points per game in a series.

Kobe Bryant scored 67 points in a single game but couldn't take away the victory.

Then what can I do.

Fortunately, now they all have championships.

……

Time goes back to the present.

Malone retired.

O'Neal went to the Heat.

Payton chose to leave with O'Neal.

As the defending champion.

The Lakers didn't even make the playoffs in 2005.

And now.

The Lakers reached the Finals again.

Just one more win.

The Lakers are the championship.

There are 30 teams in the league.

The Celtics have the most championships.

A total of 16 championships.

Lakers second.

There were also 14 times.

Maybe.

This group of players now has a chance to catch up or even surpass the Celtics.

……

"It was Louis who called. He said he wanted to meet you."

On the plane back to Charlotte.

Jimmy Jones told Zhou Yao about the call he received before boarding the plane.

Zhou Yao knows.

When Jimmy said Luis, he was referring to Luis Scola.

This guy entered the draft in 2002.

Selected by the Wizards with a second-round pick.

And he also signed a brokerage contract with Zhou Yao.

It was Zhou Yao who paid to help him terminate the contract with his old club.

In that year's World Championships, Scola performed well.

After the start of the season, he played very well.

However, no one will regard him as an ordinary second-round pick.

However, this guy behaves a bit ungrateful off the court.

It can even be said that he has the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog.

And based on Zhou Yao's relationship with Jordan and the head coach.

Of course I won't spoil him.

The second half of the season.

The team then hid Scola.

Until the finals against the Trail Blazers.

However, this guy himself did not seize the opportunity.

When the team is short of major generals.

He didn't play long before he was injured.

After the season.

The Wizards naturally gave up on him.

Next season.

Scola can only do odd jobs here and there.

He never gained the trust of any head coach.

And there are always rumors.

This guy is so stupid that he hurts his own feet.

Not suitable for playing basketball at all.

after that.

Scola went to Europe and played another season.

It was also very unsuccessful.

Later, he went to the CBA and worked as a mercenary for an unsuccessful season.

when going.

The media touts him as a quality power forward who has won an NBA championship.

However, when I came to CBA, I was obviously acclimated.

The rebounds are not as good as those of foreign players, or even as good as some domestic players.

The score is also average.

However, unlike other small foreign players who can fly into the sky and escape in the CBA.

Was decisively laid off at the end of the season.

In the 06 World Championships, he was not even called up to the national team.

Last season, Scola went to the Australian League and finally regained some feeling.

But he is also very clear.

Just establishing a foothold in the Australian league is not enough to help him compete in next year's Olympics.

Moreover.

Got to know the NBA.

Not to mention the level of competition.

Just look at annual salary.

Scola also looks down on the Australian league.

He wants to return to the NBA.

And he knows that he is definitely capable of playing in the NBA.

As long as someone is willing to give him a chance.

It's just that in the NBA, his connections are too thin.

National team teammate Ginobili may be able to provide him with some help.

However, this relationship is still a bit weak after all.

Of course, Scola also knows.

I have other connections.

For example, Zhou Yao.

There is no problem in re-signing the agency contract to Zhou Yao.

Coming to the Bobcats to play is no problem.

Before that, he had to get Zhou Yao's forgiveness.

These days.

Scola has made many calls.

There was only one clear answer.

We’ll talk about everything after the finals.

……

Scola had no other choice.

It reminded him of that summer.

Their five rookies train together.

Boozer held the highest salary at the time, with an annual salary of 85.

Followed by Salmons’ 67.

Everyone else is 35.

At that time, everyone was very happy together.

From time to time, he would also joke about Haslem's figure.

Who would have thought that a guy as fat as a ball would have a chance to play in the NBA.

Now, Boozer is a famous power forward in the league.

The annual salary is 1126 million.

Salmons is a high-quality defender in the league, with an annual salary of more than 500 million.

Barnes is a bit worse, with an annual salary of more than 300 million.

Haslem's salary is also similar to Salmons.

And it is said that these people are doing business with Zhou Yao.

There is also a dividend of at least 200 million yuan every year.

This is not counting the endorsement contracts that Zhou Yao helped them find.

Scola often thinks about it.

If I had followed Zhou Yao back then.

Play honestly.

Not to mention being able to soar into the sky like Boozer.

Even if he has lived a hard life for a few years, he should be like Barnes and the others now.

But, where in this world can there be any regret medicine for sale...
