System: I am always awesome in the NBA

O'Neal picked up the glass and shook it gently.

"Of course I remember! I was still a rookie at that time, and my position in the team was almost marginal."

"Every game I can only sit on the cold bench and watch you play."

"What's even harder is having to face the cold stares and isolation from you bastards."

"You guys were chatting and laughing in the locker room, but the moment I got close the atmosphere turned silent."

"And when we went to the nightclub, you were all out there having fun together, but I had to go back to the empty apartment alone."

Lin Hao seemed to have his memory flooded back to him, and all those sad memories came flooding back to his mind in an instant.

"Ah? I didn't expect you, boss, to have gone through such a painful time?"

Zhou Lingxuan opened her mouth into an "O" shape.

"Looking at you now, I sometimes find it incredible."

"You went from being an unknown bag carrier to being the best player in the league, even surpassing me."

"To be honest, I feel a little complicated."

There was a hint of emotion in O'Neal's tone.

"Shaq, what's wrong with you tonight? This is not like you!"

Lin Hao was a little surprised.

O'Neal has always been an optimist. Even if he encountered huge difficulties, he would not look as sad as he does now.

"Can I join you Knicks next season?"

O'Neill said sincerely.

"Ah?" Zhou Lingxuan was petrified when she heard this.

Who is this fat guy? He is the most dominant inside player in the NBA.

But now, he actually begged his boss to take him in!

"You're doing well in the Heat, why do you suddenly want to come to the Knicks?"

Lin Hao asked doubtfully.

"I didn't have a good time with the Heat... Don't get me wrong! I have a great relationship with Dwyane!"

O'Neal explained: "But he and I are not very good partners!"

Lin Hao thought about it and realized that it was true.

In his previous life, O'Neal averaged 20 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.8 blocks per game in the regular season this season.

In the finals, his average dropped to 13.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 0.8 blocks.

Logically speaking, for a superstar like him, the more crucial the game, the higher his stats should be.

But the result is the opposite.

Is it that the Mavericks' center Dampier is too strong? Obviously not!

Then there is only one possibility - Shaq and Wade are not a good match at all!

O'Neal continued:

"I've been in the NBA for almost 14 seasons and have worked with top guards like Anfernee (Hardaway), Kobe Bryant, and Dwyane Wade."

"But the most enjoyable thing is being with the Lakers. Why is that?"

"Then I thought about it for a long time and finally found the reason."

"Because Kobe is my best partner."

At this point, his voice began to deepen.

"I'm the most dominant center in the paint, but I'm completely insignificant outside of it."

"So, my partner needs to have strong mid-range and long-range shooting ability to open up space for me, but Dwyane obviously doesn't have this ability."

"Because of my size, it's impossible for me to carry the team's interior defense like Kevin (Garnett) and Tim do."

"So, my partner needs to have strong defensive skills, but Anfernee obviously doesn't have that ability."

"I'm a center, and it's hard to get the ball at crucial moments of the game. Plus, the other team will use the Hack-a-Shaq strategy."

"So, when the team reaches a critical moment, my partner needs to have strong ability to handle key balls."

"And Anfernee can't do that."

"So, the only player in the league who could be a perfect match for me is Kobe."

"But now, there is one more you. And you are more suitable than Kobe!"

O'Neal's eyes were burning, as if he was expecting Lin Hao's response.

After hearing this, Lin Hao did not answer.

What he wanted to say was that in your previous life, you had worked with top outside players like James and Nash, but you also failed.

"Lin, I, Shaq, still have a lot of gas left in the tank. Let me go to the Knicks and help you!"

"You are the boss of the team, the only core, and I am just your big brother!"

O'Neill said sincerely.

"but……"

Lin Hao hesitated.

"Don't tell me you're a player and can't participate in management's decision-making."

"I've already inquired about it. Your status in the Knicks is higher than General Manager Isiah!"

"Also, don't tell me the Knicks don't have the salary cap space to sign me."

"I already knew that after this season, the contracts of Alan (Houston), Anfernee (Hardaway), and Antonio (Davis) will all expire."

"The Knicks will then be able to save at least $6 million in salary cap space. My salary next year will only be $2 million."

O'Neill interrupted him rudely.

Lin Hao raised his eyebrows.

It seems that this fat guy is very sincere about coming to the Knicks and has even done his homework in advance!

"So Pat Riley is willing to let you go?"

he asked.

"I have a player option. At the end of this season, I can opt out of my contract."

"More importantly, if the Heat fail to win the championship this season, they will have to rebuild."

"Pat Riley might even be eager for me to leave!"

O'Neill said.

Lin Hao remained silent.

Zhou Lingxuan was watching from the side in amazement.

Her boss is really arrogant.

O'Neal has said this much, and you still don't agree!

Don't you go to heaven?

"Think about it, how many teams in the league have implemented the 'Lin Hao Rule' this season, double-teaming you?"

"If I'm in the paint, who would dare to double-team you?"

"By then, not to mention three consecutive championships, even four or five consecutive championships will be no problem."

O'Neal continued.
