Chapter 321 Youth has dreams, no regrets!
"Boys, your champion is back!"
He Li just arrived at the Bucks and rushed directly into the training ground at Bradley Center and said this to the Bucks players who were training.
Everyone was not aware of it at the beginning, and they were all surprised. Who is coming? So arrogant, are you here to find fault?
But when they looked back, they found that He Li was back, and everyone immediately "put down their knife" and became more and more pleasant.
"Boss is back!"
"It's He Li, this kid is capable and arrogant enough!"
Now the Bucks are clearly divided, besides the younger generation of rookies, they are experienced veterans.
The rookie called the boss to He Li, there was no problem with this.
Although the remaining veterans are much older, some of them are even similar to He Li’s father in age, because of He Li’s strength, they have to be respectful of He Li.
The best among veterans, Payton, who is good at squirting trash talk, has to look kindly with He Li at this time.
"Everyone is waiting for you, why are you here at this time?"
Although Payton has achieved his long-cherished wish of the championship, he is only in hand and is only the fifth and sixth player championship in the team. This does not add much to Payton's historical status.
Since one is not enough, add one, two, and three.
However, Payton's contract with the Bucks is only two years, and the contract was signed last year's offseason, which means that after this season, Payton has to propose a contract renewal with the Bucks management.
However, before renewing the contract, Payton had to worry about winning the championship this season.
Winning the NBA is not that simple.
As strong as Jordan, before the first three consecutive championships, he was beaten to death by the Pistons Bad Boys Legion.
You know, Jordan had already had the strength to be close to the peak of the first three consecutive periods, and no matter what, it was stronger than the "Kobe possessed" in the last three consecutive periods.
Jordan's personal strength in the last three consecutive games has declined, which is not as good as before, and even has the helplessness of a veteran being unable to do so.
But the record is more legendary than the first three consecutive games.
However, if Jordan, who is in the last three consecutive games, meets opponents from the first three consecutive games, or O'Neal and Kobe at their peak, then the story is another matter.
Payton was worried that He Li would win three consecutive championships, but not long ago, he defeated the Dream Team at the Olympics and won the gold medal in the men's basketball event. Because he was too young and too easy to get these achievements, he became less active. Instead, he slacked off his game and squandered his talent.
Perhaps He Li, like Jordan, wasted a few years and had the ability to recreate a three-game winning streak.
But Payton doesn’t have this time and this opportunity!
He can still play now, so he can still get a contract with the Bucks. After a few years, who will come to pay attention to him?
I'm afraid the Bucks will not pay attention to the basic salary contract quotation, right?
When He Li led a group, in the eyes of most NBA players, they were players of the stinky fish, shrimps, and local chickens, tiles and dogs. After defeating the dream team composed of stars in the Olympics, veterans who wanted to join the Bucks in the new season were like snowflakes, and they threw them at the Bucks at a high price.
Most players play in NBA for money, but then again, most veterans play in NBA for honor.
Why not do this if you can win a championship at the end of your career and make up for your regrets in your career?
He Li led a group of players who were more vulnerable than them and could defeat the star-studded Dream Team and win the Olympic Championship. He Li also used practical actions to show that if he was a random group of players, he would have the strength to win the NBA championship.
At this time, no team is more attractive to veterans than the Bucks, especially those veterans who have not had a championship ring and have been the core of the team ten years ago.
Just so happens, Barkley and Ewing have already won two championships in the Bucks and have successfully retired.
In addition to the expiration of some role players' contracts, the Bucks currently have four open spaces to accommodate veterans.
This makes the Bucks more attractive to veterans who are determined to win the championship.
However, the attraction ultimately comes from He Li.
If He Li is proud and complacent and becomes less active in playing basketball, then the Bucks will not have the competitiveness of the championship, and the veterans who originally wanted to squeeze in and join the Bucks will not be so active.
Payton is still actively training this offseason in order to replicate the success of last season and make more brilliant this season.
However, Payton could feel that as time passed, the energy and vitality on his body gradually disappeared.
If the Bucks don't change anything, then there is no doubt that the Bucks' strength in the new season will definitely be inferior to last season.
At this time, He Li was cynical and didn't concentrate on playing basketball. The veterans in the free market were discouraged and did not join the Bucks, injecting new strength into the Bucks.
Then everything will become a fantasy.
It is precisely related to his own physical strength that Payton wants to persuade He Li, young people not to be too arrogant.
However, He Li's words made Payton lose these concerns.
"Let's have a meeting, everyone is here, we have a brief meeting.
I have a lot of things I want you to say to you! I come here and it's here.
It doesn't matter if you are heard by an irrelevant person, but you told the media reporters to ask for some benefits.
I just want to tell you what I want to say now."
He Li summoned the players who have been confirmed to stay in the Bucks at the training ground and expressed his desire to give a lecture.
Everyone walked over one after another and surrounded He Li.
He Li looked around, raised his eyebrows, then stroked the hair on his forehead, and said confidently: "We are the champions, before and after.
The new season is about to begin, and I firmly believe that we will still be champions this season.
But, we all know that champions cannot be possessed by shouting slogans.
We need to spend a lot of energy and sweat!
We need to do the best we can and defeat all our opponents.
Only by doing so and becoming the strongest team in the league can we win the championship in the new season 100%.
You know, we have won three consecutive championships and we have become public enemies of the entire league.
We have been exposed in front of everyone for three years, and we have been thoroughly studied.
We must be absolutely strong in order to win the championship without any mistakes!”
"We want to achieve four consecutive championships, and that's my ambition!
Of course, my ambition is more than just four consecutive championships!
I want to win many championships!
But in a short time, this is not realistic.”
“The next season is my fourth season on my rookie contract.
In the next season, I will change to a maximum salary contract.
You know, I will become the biggest player in the 2002 class and get the most salary.
By the 2005-06 season, my contract would account for at least 25% of the Bucks' total salary.
In addition to me, Kwamei will also sign a new contract, which I think will be at least a middle-class contract.
The team will also sign contracts with many people, perhaps a big contract, a middle-class contract, or a basic salary contract.
However, in the 2005-06 season, we, the Bucks, will not have the ability to continue to use large amounts of salary and sign a maximum salary contract from the free market.
Perhaps the boss has the financial resources and is willing to spend money to pay a large amount of luxury taxes for the team, but the salary cap limits us to draw from the outside world and become stronger.
So, I think it will be much more difficult for us to win five consecutive championships, and there is even no chance."
"Maybe you think I'm extremely powerful and I can win the championship with Grandma O'Neal.
But I must tell you that I am not a god. We were able to win the championship last season, and I rely on everyone's strength to achieve three consecutive championships.
We are still together this season, but next season, some of the players here may leave the Bucks.
So, don’t let yourself regret before leaving! Your efforts are worth winning another championship!
I said this, just like before Carl came, I told him that I can lend you two championship rings in advance.
But he told me that he could get it himself without me lending it. I believed what he said, just as he believed me.
I hope you can continue to believe in me, and I will lead everyone to overcome all difficulties and achieve four consecutive championships!
Chapter completed!
