Chapter 991: Rainbow Uniform and O'Neal's New Pursuit!
On December 31, 2009, the last day of 2009, Yes and the players of the Seattle Supersonics came to New Jersey, the current center of public opinion in the NBA.
After defeating the Hornets and the Jazz at home, the Seattle Supersonics' winning streak reached 30 games.
The best start record in NBA history.
Even in the entire American professional sports league, this is the best start record.
After the 30-game winning streak, the next goal of Yes and the Supersonics players is to break the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.
Although Yes does not attach so much importance to such data and records, such a magical record still needs to be strived for.
After all, the Lakers' 33-game winning streak miracle has been passed down for decades. As long as a team in the NBA has won more than 10 games in a row, the Lakers' winning streak will be invited to show up.
It can be said that among all the winning streak records in the NBA, because the Lakers' 33-game winning streak is too dazzling, the winning streaks of other teams have no exposure at all.
Even if the Heat won 26 games in a row last season, how many people will remember it after it's over?
As long as the Supersonics can break the Lakers' winning streak, everyone in the Seattle Supersonics will be remembered like a legend.
Life is nothing but fame and fortune.
The Seattle Supersonics' current goal is to break the Lakers' winning streak. This is Sima Zhao's intention and everyone knows it. Any team with some ability certainly doesn't want to become a footnote on the Supersonics' winning streak, and must go all out to stop it.
But the Nets...
The Nets, now ranked seventh in the East, do seem to be a thing in the East this season.
But if the Nets can stop the Supersonics' winning streak, I'm afraid even the Nets themselves don't believe it.
Because of O'Neal's trade, the Nets are now the center of the entire public opinion field.
The Nets' general manager Billy King has also become one of the most popular celebrities in the NBA.
After arriving at the Luhang Arena, Yes and the Supersonics players also met the NBA's biggest "celebrity" or "people".
When seeing Billy King, Yes and the players of the Supersonics were quite surprised.
Doesn't he look like a demented person?
Not only is he not demented.
And he looks quite smart.
But why can he do such a thing?
When the former general manager of the Supersonics sent Ray Allen and Lewis away, he was forced to do so by gunpoint, and he had no choice but to agree. Billy King was not pointed at by gunpoint.
It is impossible for the Nets to stop the Supersonics' winning streak. The most important idea of Yes and the Seattle Supersonics in this game is to watch the name of Billy King.
The result of watching made them a little disappointed.
He is not as prehistoric as the rumors in the news now, but he is actually a smart person.
You can't judge a person by his appearance.
Yes and the Supersonics were a little disappointed, but the new head of the Nets, O'Neal, was very happy.
"Hahaha, Yes, we meet again!"
Some time ago, O'Neal was still in the Cavaliers, wearing the Cavaliers' blue jersey.
Now, when I saw this fat guy again, he was wearing the Nets' latest orange jersey.
To celebrate O'Neal's arrival, the Nets specially released an orange commemorative jersey.
Looking at this fat guy laughing heartily, Yes's mind was recalling O'Neal wearing different jerseys.
The red Miami Heat, the orange New Jersey Nets, the yellow Lakers, the cyan Magic, the blue Cavaliers, and the purple Lakers.
"There's still a touch of green."
Huh?
There's still a touch of green?
O'Neal, who was very happy to see his old friend, was a little confused when he heard Yes's words.
"Green? What green?"
"The color of the rainbow."
"..."
O'Neal blinked.
The fat face instantly changed from joy to "black".
"Yes, you are too bad, I just came to the new team to play the first game, and you cursed me to go to the Celtics next stop?!"
New Jersey is not that far from Boston.
But...
On second thought, O'Neal suddenly felt that it seemed like a very good pursuit to have a complete rainbow jersey collection on his body!
Moreover, he could even try to retire all the jerseys in the rest of his career.
By then, would he become the only player in NBA history to retire a rainbow jersey? !
Retiring Miami's red should be no problem.
Retiring Nets' orange, well, that requires effort.
Retiring Lakers' yellow... No, the Lakers' retired jersey needs to be purple. If the Lakers want to retire his jersey, he must choose purple!
The Magic's blue, this needs to repair the relationship with the Magic in the future. He has reconciled with that deadly snake, so there is no need to keep a stalemate with the Magic, right?
The Cleveland Cavaliers' blue is no problem either.
Then the only problem is Magic's blue, Celtics' green, and finding another team with yellow jerseys to join.
Wait, I remember that Seattle Supersonics also have yellow jerseys, right? !
Thinking of this, O'Neal looked at Yes's eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
And O'Neal's eyes made Yes a little creepy.
"Yes, you made me find my life pursuit again!"
"..."
This time it was Yes's turn to be surprised.
Speaking of which, this fat guy left the Cavaliers and came to the Nets, and helped the Cavaliers to pit the Nets so much. What else can this fat guy pursue in the NBA?
Isn't he pursuing to become a comedian now?
Rondo of his team and McGee, a former Celtics player and now a Cavaliers player, were almost played by his TNT program "Shaqtin' A Fool".
When Rondo saw O'Neal, he wanted to kill O'Neal directly.
So, a person who is going further and further on the road of being a comedian suddenly found motivation in the NBA?
This really made Yes a little confused.
O'Neal doesn't seem to be lying.
If Yes knew that O'Neal's new pursuit was to retire with a rainbow jersey, Yes would definitely be more surprised, not a surprise of contempt, but a surprise of respect.
This pursuit is really very, very high.
O'Neal is 37 years old now. How many more years will he have to play before he can retire the jerseys of the Nets, Celtics and Supersonics?
Of course, Yes didn't know about O'Neal's new pursuit.
O'Neal felt that this was his secret.
If he really achieved this achievement, Kobe Bryant would never want to use loyalty to insult him again!
Kobe, you have reached the end of the road of loyalty, and you have been loyal to one person.
And O'Neal's father has reached the end of another road, retiring his rainbow jersey!
Although O'Neal's father is not loyal, every team he played for retired O'Neal's jersey, which is much more impressive than your loyalty to one person!
Thinking of this, O'Neal, who was laughing in his heart, almost laughed out of breath.
Ahem.
Sure enough, even if he reconciled with that kid.
He still couldn't change the habit of fighting with that kid for most of his life.
That kid must be quietly collecting records and honors that can insult and humiliate him!
In this match with the Nets, Yes and the Sonics felt that it should be a very simple match.
In fact, many experts and media also thought so before the game.
"I swear, O'Neal's Nets are far worse than Love's Nets!"
"O'Neal of the Nets is also far worse than O'Neal of the Cavaliers!"
"O'Neal has a group of teammates who are very suitable for him in the Cavaliers, but he has nothing in the Nets!"
"Brook Lopez and Devin Harris will also feel that it will be extremely awkward to partner with O'Neal. O'Neal and Love are not of the same style at all."
"So, why did Billy King spend so much money to get O'Neal? Is it really just because he thinks that the Nets have already surpassed the New York Knicks in terms of performance, so they also need to surpass them in terms of business?"
Many people are not optimistic about O'Neal's career in the Nets.
It should be said that almost everyone is not optimistic.
Yes is actually not optimistic either.
The Nets have exhausted their future potential for O'Neal, and their own strength reserves are not strong. O'Neal is also past the age of killing the league on his own.
It can be said that this deal of the Nets will make the Nets have a hard time in the next ten years.
It is really hard to say what will happen in the future.
But now, in this game between the Supersonics and the Nets.
O'Neal's performance is still very embarrassing for those experts before the game.
Even Yes and the Supersonics were embarrassed.
"Isn't O'Neal too hard in this game?!"
"O'Neal, who didn't run in the Cavaliers this season, actually ran again in the Nets?!"
Seeing O'Neal working so hard in this game.
Not only Kenny Smith was surprised, Barkley was surprised, and Kobe outside the TV was also surprised.
How did this fat guy suddenly find motivation again?
During the Christmas game, he told me that he was about to retire, and everyone was not young anymore, so there was no need to let go.
Damn it, this fat guy advised me not to work hard, but he secretly wanted to work hard!
Sure enough, this fat guy is always so insidious, and he cheated his undergraduate degree again!
O'Neal's hard work in this game is very surprising, but his hard work has no effect on the game.
The Supersonics still easily gave the Nets a lovely fifty-eight with a score of 162 to 104 on the road.
Fifty-eight salutes celebrated O'Neal's Nets debut. It must be said that James Harden and other guys really know how to play.
Of course, O'Neal's hard work in this game is not completely meaningless.
At least it means a lot to the Nets' general manager Billy King.
He pushed through all the opposition to facilitate O'Neal's deal, and the pressure was also very great.
Not to mention the external pressure, even such a smart person as him was described as "the world's stupidest".
He actually doesn't care about the external pressure, mainly the internal pressure.
After all, many people inside said that O'Neal came to the Nets to retire, and those chips were not worth it at all.
Now you see, does O'Neal look like he wants to come to the Nets to retire in this game? !
So those of you who question my intelligence, open your eyes and see how my intelligence slaps you in the face!
O'Neal's hard work made Billy King very confident and moved, and O'Neal released a lot of pressure for him.
It seems that O'Neal respects him from the heart.
It’s just that this smart general manager didn’t know that O’Neal was indeed planning to retire here.
But now…
He needs data.
He needs data that can help him retire his jersey in the Nets.
With his popularity, status and reputation in the NBA, it’s actually very easy for him to retire his jersey in a team. As long as he can average more than 20 points per game for a season, when he retires, his jersey will definitely be retired!
What victory!
What 58!
What humiliation!
This Shark doesn’t care now, this Shark just wants to brush up the data now!
Brush! Brush! Brush!
O’Neal didn’t care at all that he was beaten by 58 at home, and he scored a lot in this game.
But the other players of the Nets didn’t have such a good mentality.
This scene between O’Neal and the Nets is interesting to those who are interested.
“The three first-round picks that the Nets gave to the Cavaliers are going to explode in value!”
Garnett exclaimed.
Originally, he and Pierce were O’Neal’s backups.
Originally, these could have belonged to Danny Ainge.
Thinking that Danny Ainge must be in a bad mood at this time, Garnett and Pierce's mood became very, very good.
The more the transaction value of the three first-round picks of the Nets exploded, the more the Cavaliers earned, the more uncomfortable Danny Ainge felt, and the happier they were.
The Heat completed one of this extremely huge big deal.
The morale of the Heat soared.
The haze of losing the Christmas game was swept away.
The whole team is now counting on their fingers when the Seattle Supersonics will come.
Garnett and Pierce don't like James, the All-Star who backstabbed them.
But if they can get rid of Yes and win the championship in their career, they are still willing to compromise.
Garnett and Pierce compromised so quickly and obeyed James' leadership so decisively. To be honest, Ray Allen was very uncomfortable.
These two guys were so conscious of ownership when they were in the Celtics. When they came to the Heat, Ray Allen thought they would confront James.
After all, toughness is their label.
But this is the result.
Let Ray Allen ( ̄△ ̄;).
So, why did you fight me in the Celtics ( ̄△ ̄;).
The Heat is paying close attention to the Supersonics now.
The game between the Supersonics and the Nets has caused a lot of discussion among the Heat about the Cavaliers' good luck.
Judging from this game, the Nets are probably finished this season. The three first-round picks given to the Cavaliers may really be three lottery picks and very high lottery picks!
Wade, Garnett, Pierce and other Heat players were discussing the Nets' beeping behavior, and they didn't notice that James' eyes were constantly flickering next to them.
Not only were his eyes flickering, but his facial expressions were also constantly changing.
Surprise, hesitation, memories, depression, longing...
There are so many.
