Chapter 181 Leave the Raptors

Under normal circumstances, the NBA has so far had four dynasties, namely the Lakers led by George McCann in ancient times, the Celtics who won eight consecutive championships, the Bulls' first and second dynasties, and the OK Dynasty started this year.

However, Kongbu traveled through time. He first destroyed the Bulls' second dynasty, then suppressed the Lakers' second dynasty, and successfully created the Raptors' first dynasty.

From now on, the Raptors will also be a top powerhouse that can compete with the Celtics, Lakers, and Bulls.

In addition, the dynasty created by Kongbu can be called the most incredible of all three consecutive championship dynasties.

Like the Celtics or the Lakers dynasty, they already had championship status before the dynasty started, and the team has superstars who can crush the entire league.

The Bulls are no exception. After being suppressed by the Bad Boys for many years, on the one hand, the Bad Boys have aged, and on the other hand, Jordan Pippen and others have matured. It is not surprising that the Bulls have created a dynasty.

Combs' first dynasty was so incredible. The year before he coached the Raptors, the Raptors were last in the league. Let alone a dynasty, even making the playoffs was a luxury.

If someone had said three years ago that the Raptors would create a dynasty, they would have been laughed at for the rest of their lives.

"Kong, come and have a chat with me in the backcourt."

Stern waved his hand at Kongbu and whispered.

The Raptors have created a dynasty, and Stern is actually quite happy. The entire UC basketball market has been completely revitalized.

In addition, this round of the finals went as he wished, successfully entering the tiebreaker and making a lot of extra money.

Kongbu nodded and followed Stern towards the backcourt.

"David, you didn't bring me here just to congratulate us secretly on winning the championship, right?"

"Or do you have a special reward for me?"

Kongbu asked with a smile.

"Kong, this is no time for joking. You have successfully established a dynasty and left your name in history."

"What are your plans next?" Stern asked slowly.

"Plan? I don't have any plans at the moment. I just want to give myself a good vacation."

"No, the Olympics are coming next, and I can't take a vacation at all."

"David, why do I feel like you have something to say?" Kongbu asked with a frown.

Stern frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and said directly: "Kong, I think it's time for you to leave the Raptors."

"The NBA needs balance. Without balance, there will be no surprises. Without surprises, no one will watch the game."

"Three consecutive championships is actually the limit that this league can accept now. If Boston's era of 11 championships in 13 years were to happen again, our NBA would have been closed down long ago."

"The Raptors' current lineup is extremely luxurious. If you select some top rookies in the next 2000 draft, I don't know how many championships you can win. I only know that I can't let the NBA be destroyed in my hands."

Stern's words are not alarmist. If the Raptors really win 11 championships in 2013, the NBA may really be completely out of control.

Kongbu looked startled, which meant he was dozing off and someone gave him a pillow.

He was originally thinking about what to do to minimize the impact of leaving the Raptors.

After all, the Raptors have been deeply imprinted by Kongbu. If he leaves, the fans, the players, the boss, and anyone related to the Raptors will not accept it.

Kongbu didn't want to ruin his relationship with them by leaving.

Unexpectedly, Stern took the initiative to take the blame.

"David, how can this work? My contract with the Raptors only ends in one year."

"Also, what am I going to tell my players about?"

Of course Kongbu would not be so stupid as to agree easily.

"The contract with the Raptors is easy to negotiate. I will handle it. As for how to explain it to your players, you can explain it as you like. Even if you say that I forced you to leave the Raptors, it is not impossible."

Stern looked happy and seemed to be able to accept leaving the Raptors based on what Kongbu meant.

As long as you can accept leaving the Raptors, without Kongbu, it will be difficult for the Raptors to inject high-level fresh blood. They may still be the top powerhouse in the next two years, but when the superstars in the team have to sign contracts

, the Raptors are doomed.

In addition, this offseason, he has prepared to introduce rules that restrict shark-cutting tactics. This will give the Lakers a greater chance of winning the championship. With one thing going the other way, the Raptors dynasty will soon be ended.

"Then I really said it. You forced me to leave the Raptors."

"But you have to agree to one condition." Kongbu said with a frown.

"No matter what conditions you propose, I will agree to you, but you must also agree to one condition."

The two of them looked like a vegetable seller and a vegetable buyer haggling at a vegetable market.

"You can't let Xiao Hua take over as president of the league. You know, my relationship with him is not good. If he takes over, my life will be difficult."

Kongbu expressed his intentions straightforwardly.

In fact, as long as Xiao Hua is unable to take over, with Stu's qualifications, becoming Stern's successor is a sure thing.

Stern couldn't laugh or cry, but did Kongbu have anything to worry about?

"Okay, I promise you, my condition is that after you leave the Raptors, you must join a team with a big market."

"The Lakers are in good shape now, and the Knicks are not bad either. Both teams are currently very good at fighting. If you don't want to go to these two teams, you can ignore them."

"Chicago and Philadelphia are my suggestions for you, especially Chicago. You ruined their second dynasty and they hate you."

"If you go to Chicago and help them build another dynasty, you will become another legend in Chicago."

Stern had obviously thought about this for a long time and recommended the Bulls and 76ers without any hesitation.

The football market potential of a team is definitely directly proportional to the economic scale of the home city. The larger the city, the greater the football market potential.

Eighty percent of the GDP in the United States is produced in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia.

Philadelphia is the fourth largest city in the United States, similar to Guangzhou or Chongqing in China.

Kongbu was speechless. What was this? Could it be that Stern had roundworms in his stomach? How did he know that he was going to Philadelphia next?

From Stern's perspective, there is no problem for him to let Combs leave the Raptors. There is also no problem for him to let Combs go to a big city to coach and develop the local ball market.

The problem is that it happened to hit the muzzle of Kongbu's gun. Combu is equivalent to taking Stern's sword to coach the Philadelphia 76ers.

"Well, David, you are a respectable president."

"If it were someone else who made such an unreasonable request, I would definitely not agree."

"But will the 76ers hire me?"

After Combo said this, he and Stern laughed at the same time.

Whether the 76ers will want Kongbu is not a question in itself. It is impossible for any team in the league to exclude Kongbu.

Even if Combu said he wanted to go to the Heat, general manager Pat Riley would have to step down as head coach overnight and then roll out a red carpet for Combu to welcome him.

After the two chatted, they were both very happy and got what they wanted.

They both returned to the stadium and the temporary podium had been set up.

The Raptors players are still in the midst of the carnival. This is the home court of the Raptors, and they are enjoying the cheers of the home team fans.

At the championship award ceremony, the generals surrounded Kongbu in the middle, dragged Kongbu's hand, and lifted the O'Brien Cup.

Immediately afterwards, Stern announced the FMVP of this finals.

When the results came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

"I declare that the Most Valuable Player of the 1999-2000 NBA Finals is..."

"Shawn Marion!"

"Congratulations to Sean, another legend in NBA history who won FMVP in his rookie season."

The entire Raptors Arena was silent, and everyone wondered if they were hallucinating.

Even Combu wondered if he had traveled through time again, otherwise there would be no explanation for why Marion received this award.

In this round of the series, Lyon averaged 16.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1 block per game. The statistics are good, but they are definitely not gorgeous at all.

In terms of scoring, Dampier and Tracy McGrady are both higher than him.

In terms of overall statistics, there are at least four players on the Raptors who have better statistics than him.

For example, Payton averaged 15.7 points, 12.3 assists and 2.3 steals per game. How could he be more qualified to win FMVP than Marion?

McGrady averaged 25 points per game and shot more than 45% from the field. Originally, Kongbu thought that this FMVP was already in McGrady's bag.

Kongbu thought carefully in his mind that McGrady's failure to win the FMVP was probably related to the fact that he left Nike this season and signed with Adidas.

Although Marion's scoring is not as good as McGrady, his statistics are very balanced after all, and his shooting percentage is also very good.

The most critical thing is that he completely locked up the Lakers' third scoring point Glenn Rice.

So if you think about it carefully, Marion is not unqualified to win this award.

FMVP is full of gold, but there are a lot of tricks in it. This time it is probably Nike who has exerted its strength. I don’t know that the judges are their people, making Marion the last lucky person.
