Time flies.

On September 9, 2019, media from all over the world surrounded Madison Square Garden.

Today is his retirement press conference, and everyone is here to report on this superstar's farewell ceremony.

This time, Lian Feng did not stick to his words. Like Jordan, he left himself a 0.01% possibility.

At this time, the host Xiao Hua was reciting all the honors of Lian Feng in an exciting tone.

“7 career championships, 7 FMVPs, 3 consecutive championships, 4 consecutive championships, 9 regular season MVPs, 5 All-Star Game AMVPs, 11 scoring titles, 4 Defensive Player of the Year awards, 1

Steals champion, 1 slam dunk contest champion, 12 first-team All-NBA teams, 8 first-team All-Defensive teams

, even if we cut all of his honors in half, there are few people in history who can surpass him! There is no doubt that he is the god of basketball in our era! As the most dominant player like Jordan, he is the most dominant player in Jordan's history.

Basically, it has raised the honors that basketball players can receive to an incredible level."

"In the entire history, there are only three players who can achieve 3 consecutive championships and 3 consecutive FMVPs, Jordan, O'Neal, and Lian Feng! And there is only one player who can achieve 4 consecutive championships and 4 consecutive FMVPs! We even have reason to believe that if

If he plays for a few more years, it will be easy for him to win more championships! Now, let us listen to this well-deserved number one basketball player and his parting words!"

Lian Feng took the phone and his thoughts were racing for a moment.

He has been in the league for 14 seasons and played full attendance in 11 of them. Except for the two years when he first entered the league and the serious injury season in 12 years later, he has received sufficient honors in every season.

But it wasn't always smooth sailing. The turning point occurred in the 10-11 season. In the latter part of that season, the Chicago Bulls, Lakers, Heat, Thunder... were all nearly as strong as the Big Three.

In those years, the NBA was caught in controversies, and because of these controversies, it attracted countless eyeballs and traffic.

Within the Hornets, as the salary increases of several generals and the contradiction between salary space could not be coordinated, and with the intervention of the league, the Hornets suddenly lost Gasol and David West, leaving only one Yin.

Bacca renewed his contract with a maximum salary. That season, Lian Feng

He could only play the center position because the height difference between him and Yao Ming was too big. Even he could not defend Yao Ming and pose any threat to Yao Ming in the paint. In the end, he lost to the team with Yao Ming and Wade and a complete lineup in the finals.

The Heat's dynasty was ended.

Dayao has also become the second Asian player to win the NBA championship as a core player. Therefore, the greater significance of the Heat winning the championship is that Dayao's career has been completed. In addition, the UAE also averaged 17 per game.

Data has proven its value in the league, and the Miami Big Three are officially formed!

It is worth mentioning that because of his influence, the league's income was higher than in another time and space, and due to various policies introduced to restrict him, that lockout did not happen.

The original lockout of time and space was mainly because the labor agreement reached in 2005 would expire on July 1, 2011. The labor and management parties had differences over the signing of the new agreement, mainly regarding the sharing of basketball revenue. In the 2005 version of the agreement, players

can get 57% of the share, but the bosses want to reduce the player income ratio to 47%, and the players are only willing to reduce it to

53%. The two sides continued to argue over these two major issues. Stern even announced at one point that if the two sides could not reach an agreement as soon as possible, the 2011-2012 season would be canceled. In this time and space, this problem does not exist, although there are small ball market owners.

Interests will be affected, but after all, as the total income increases, their income will also increase, and those bosses will be able to compromise.

The following year, the Hornets were unable to escape the predicament. Because he had been playing as a center for a long time and coupled with his alarming weight, he suffered the biggest and last injury that season, a torn hip ligament.

At that time, everyone really felt that he was in trouble, and there was no reason why he could maintain his condition after experiencing several major injuries.

Curry really grew up that season, but the Hornets lost him and were eliminated in the first round.

In the end, the finals was a melee between the Lakers and Chicago superstars, 23 vs. 24. The ratings that year set a record. There were two buzzer beaters in two games, and a buzzer beater and a counter buzzer beater. It was so exciting.

It can be called the best in history.

In the end, Kobe won the game with difficulty, won the championship trophy that belonged to him, and finally won the fourth championship as he wished. The FVP that year was also awarded to him, which may not be due to his contribution.

The biggest, but after staying with the Lakers for so many years, he has become a symbol of the Lakers, so there is nothing wrong with him.

For Lian Feng, in addition to injuries, more bad things continued to happen. The entire league thought he was finished. George Sheehan sold the team out of frustration and made more than a billion in pain.

Finally, that summer, he ended his contract with the Hornets while calmly dealing with all media.

Because of the link-up clause, his salary had skyrocketed to 60 million a year that summer. Even if the league's salary cap had increased to 90 million, there were still not many teams that could afford him. In the end, it was the New York Knicks who were stupid and rich.

Smith proudly spent a lot of money to sign him with a maximum salary. At the same time, in order to give him enough strength to compete for the championship after returning from injury, the Knicks spent a star player and first-round draft picks in the next two years to trade from the Hornets.

Here comes Curry.

It is clear that he should be the core of the team. The Knicks' total salary is approaching 130 million, and the luxury tax alone will cost them close to the salary cap.

When everyone was waiting to see the Knicks' joke, in the second season, he returned as king, taking Curry and Leonard, a little-known role player traded from the Pacers, to finish first in the Eastern Conference.

His performance slapped everyone in the face.

Although the forward who came back that season was not a one-on-five player, people were shocked to find that he became even stronger after the serious injury. Unfortunately, Curry was injured in the second half of that season, and Kawhi had not yet grown up.

, with him alone, he lost to the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals with James, Bosh and Rose, and lost in the tiebreaker.

The cooperation between Rose and James is better than expected. When the two of them go on the fast break, only Lien and Westbrook in the league can catch up.

James and Rose won their championships.

But in the second season, Curry returned from injury, Kawhi also grew up, and Klay Thompson was added to the team...

After that, the New York Knicks started a crazy four consecutive championships, setting a record that cannot be broken.

His thoughts gradually returned to reality. Lian Feng smiled and looked at the players who came here, his opponents, former teammates, current teammates... those who hated him and those who loved him.

"In two ways, physically, I feel great...despite some minor injuries..."

The audience burst into laughter.

There are two memes in the league today, "Lien Feng's injury" and "The way to build a dynasty." The former, no matter how horrific the injury, is uniformly defined as a "minor injury," while the latter's method is: "Sign Lien Feng

Front."

Lian Feng waited until the front court became quiet before continuing to smile and say: "I am going to enjoy life and do many things that I have never done before."

James in the audience looked at Lian Feng. He understood the "things he has never done before" and once made him yearn for it. For this guy Lian Feng, in his hard-won free life in the future, he will have family and will

He has his young children, and endless commercials to shoot...other than that

In addition, his business achievements have long exceeded those of many NBA team owners. James also yearns for that kind of life, but it is not enough for him now. In the era of Lian Feng, he only relied on his injured

After winning a championship this season, he still wants more championships!

Now, James feels that the opportunity has come. The outside world is saying that he is dead and he is old. He should follow Lian Feng's footsteps and announce his retirement, but how is that possible? He wants to prove to the world that an old man like him can still fight.

At least five years!

The ruler has come to an end and a new era is coming!

There are also those people, Leonard, Giannis, Curry, Paul, Durant, many of them are looking up at the unknown future. Even if the forward retires, the road to winning the championship will still be difficult in the future, but James is already ready

Prepared.

Kobe, who retired a year earlier than him, looked at Lian Feng and shook his head while laughing. For a long time, he hated Lian Feng. If they were not in the same era, maybe he would have won

More championships... Now he can only masturbate with four championship rings like the damn fat man, but now he can let go, not only with O'Neal, but also with his obsession with the championship.

Being able to play basketball with the gods of this era is an honor in itself.

Those superstars who were defeated by Jordan back then did not have any significant championships, which did not affect the fact that his name will always shine brightly.

Lian Feng smiled, "I want to thank my friends, those who fought side by side with me, they gave me the motivation and support to move forward, and the enemies who pushed me to become stronger... In the end I

I want to say, come on, now, your time has finally come!"

The whole place burst into laughter.

Curry finally officially took over the banner of Lian Feng, and he will now lead this team forward alone. Today, he holds 5 championships, the three-point champion in history, the best second-hand player in history, and countless honors.

But he has never experienced leading a team alone. The next few years will be full of challenges!

At this time, Curry rolled his eyes like a child, and he had already built up a scene in his mind when he retired in the future. When that time comes, he must say this: "I want to thank you for this journey.

Of all the people who have helped me, you all know who the most important guy is... Yes, that's right, Lian Feng! He taught me how to be a scorer, an organizer, and a locker room boss.

A qualified leader! I am very lucky to be able to play beside him after entering the league!"

…

On January 26, 2020, Lian Feng was in his villa in Donghai City.

GIGI is teaching Lian Feng's 7-year-old son Lian Kun to play basketball. Kobe and Lian Feng's family are sitting in the living room, looking at the basketball stand outside through the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

GIGI patiently taught this stupid-looking younger brother how to play. She demonstrated a move several times, but the boy couldn't learn it. She was so angry that when Lian Kun made a layup next time, she blocked the shot with a ferocious move, knocking Xiao Lian straight away.

Kun was slapped.

After a while, Xiao Liankun burst into tears. GIGI suddenly panicked and subconsciously glanced at the parents in the room, only to see her father Kobe and Uncle Lian Feng laughing. She suddenly felt emboldened and was fierce.

Zhongwen said to Lian Kun: "Don't cry. How can a boy cry? If you cry again, I'll make you stand on your head!"

Looking at GIGI outside the window, Lian Feng was thoughtful and said to Kobe: "By the way, you haven't said whether you want to do it or not."

Kobe said helplessly: "It's so strange. Why do you have to want my plane?"

"Ha, don't ask about this."

"Okay, okay... seeing how sincere you are, I'll sell it to you at the original price."

…

December 3, 2024, Kyoto, China.

Lian Feng just woke up from bed and looked at the alarm clock beside the bed. It showed that the time was 6 am.
