unfinished glory

Chapter 288 Lively Summer

The sixth game of the finals will be played on the evening of June 6th, US time, but Li Chongxiao didn't sleep well all morning.

In the early hours of the morning, he was still guarding the hospital in Memphis.Not only him, but also grandpa, parents, and father-in-law.Li Chongxiao's wife is in the delivery room, ready to give birth.

At four o'clock in the morning, with two cries, Li Chongxiao's twin sons were born.The elders rushed forward and pushed Li Chongxiao aside.

Li Chongxiao could only stretch his neck at the side, looking at the two children named Li Zhiyuan and Li Xiuyuan with silly joy.

In the afternoon, he went directly to the arena, and after a few hours of sleep, he appeared on the court full of energy.

The birth of the child brought him great encouragement and motivation, and he wanted to give them the championship as a gift.

So the game was one-sided from the beginning. Li Chongxiao defeated the Nets' defense with 30 points in the first quarter.No matter how many defenders are in front of him, he dares to shoot.The Nets players knew he was going to shoot, but they couldn't guard him.

The game ended in the third quarter, and the Grizzlies had already led their opponents by as much as 32 points at this time.Li Chongxiao scored 72 points, breaking his own record.

In the finals, the Grizzlies defeated the Nets with the fourth 4:2 and won the championship in the 2014-15 season.

At the award ceremony, he said: "Today I don't thank anyone anymore, this championship is given to my children." He also said that he divided his score in this game into two and gave each child 36 points.

……

Li Chongxiao won the sixth championship, and his personal performance once again amazed the media.The average of 51.3 finals points per game has exceeded the imagination of the fans.People no longer need to argue about who is the best scorer in history, the facts are right in front of them.

Compared with the championship, Li Chongxiao is more concerned about the birth of children.Even if Ellison threw a lot of money and held a grand championship celebration, Li Chongxiao didn't care at all.

After the parade was over, he couldn't wait to return to Huaxia, where he lived for the entire offseason.Lao Li's family also ushered in the long-lost family happiness.

While Li Chongxiao was training and enjoying a leisurely family life, the offseason of the NBA was full of turmoil.

This year's draft has nothing to do with the Grizzlies. The Cavaliers have run out of draft picks, and they only have their own 27th pick in the first round.

However, the Cavaliers did not give the pick to the Grizzlies, but exchanged with the Timberwolves in the middle of the season.After Wiggins arrived, his partner Love still hasn't achieved much, and has been ranked eleventh or twelfth in the Western Conference.

The Timberwolves feel that since they have no record, they might as well train Wiggins with all their strength.So Love was sent away in exchange for the Cavaliers' first-round pick this season and an expiring contract.Then the Cavaliers hit a No. [-] pick with the third-to-last record.

The Grizzlies needed an inside player who could attack, so they chose Jarrell Martin, the scoring champion of the NCAA Southeast Conference.

……

The most eye-catching player this summer is undoubtedly James. Since he rejected the Heat's contract extension application, all teams know that he is leaving.

This season is indeed a failed season for the Heat.Barely ranked third in the regular season, but was eliminated by the Nets in the second round of the playoffs.

The aging roster and Wade's huge regression are the reasons why the team can't get any closer.This season, Wade's performance is very disappointing.He couldn't even get into the third battle, he was no longer the "Flashman" back then.

When he was young, he relied on explosive power to play, and his shooting skills were not good. As he got older, his physical fitness declined, and injuries struck. Wade has already begun to drag the team back.

The Heat in this situation will only get worse and worse, and there will be no hope of a championship in the next few years.James is not a player selected and trained by the Heat. He has already rewarded the team with a championship. It is understandable to choose to leave at this time.

So before the opening of the free market, except for self-aware or powerless teams, everyone was making room to recruit James desperately.

The Cavaliers are the most eager. They do not hesitate to exchange a potential high pick for Love, hoping that James will return to the Cavaliers with nostalgia.

The owner of the Cavaliers, Gilbert, doesn't remember how he satirized James at this time, and he can't wait to lick James' toes and let him join.

Without Li Chongxiao in front, James would be No.1 in the new generation.Maybe he will think about returning to his hometown when he is successful and famous, and lead the poor children in his hometown to become rich together.

But now the biggest opponent has won 6 championships, no matter whether he can catch up or not, James feels that he cannot stop.Only if you keep approaching first, will you have a chance to overtake.

It is impossible to return to the Cavaliers. The small place is not attractive and it is too difficult to reinforce.Winning so many championships like the Grizzlies is hard to come by. It requires the right time, place and people.If it wasn't for their big Gasol as the base, and the lucky selection of Gasol Jr., Li Chongxiao won a championship, and they might have to wait until the combination of Kobe and Yao Ming disintegrated.

There are only a few teams with a big market and space, and the Knicks are undoubtedly the best choice.

After McGrady's contract expired and he chose to retire, the Knicks cleaned up Stoudemire to make enough space.Then, taking advantage of the sharp increase in the salary cap this year, he successfully won James.

The 03 generation once again fought hand in hand. Whether James and Anthony can be compatible has become a new focus for next season.

James' departure represents the disintegration of a super team.Prior to this, the Bulls hadn't been able to break out of the East for many years, and their successors were weak and shaky.And another upstart Pacers also disintegrated this summer.

David Weiss left the team, chose to join his old teammate Paul, and joined the Lakers.And Roy Hibbert was also sent to the Clippers.

In the future of the Eastern Conference, apart from the New York Knicks and the Nets, the Eagles are not bad, and the Bucks are also worth looking forward to.

The teams in the West have also undergone relatively big changes. Pierce signed with the Clippers, Aldridge chose to join the Spurs, Marion retired and so on.

A lot of the highlights here happened in the southwest area.Stoudemire joined the Mavericks, the Pelicans signed Rondo, and then the Thunder assisted.

Playing for many years with four big contracts, nothing has been achieved, which puts great pressure on the team management.They have no nostalgia for Perkins, whose contract has expired, and let the other party go.Then he sent Harden to the Rockets.

Harden was injured and missed the playoffs this season, but the Thunder didn't seem to be affected.After a few more seasons, Harden's performance and role in the playoffs are also significantly weaker than in the regular season.From the perspective of the Thunder, sending him to the Rockets can not only save the luxury tax, but also get Kanter to increase the inside offense to fight the Grizzlies.

The top three in the Southwest all have action, and the rest of the stage is left to the Spurs and Grizzlies.
