Chapter 618: dynasty! !
Although many fans can't understand the tattoos on Cousins' body, it has to be said that the gaudy decorations are indeed full of personality.
And some fans who like street culture also like Cousins' full personality.
When the parade returned to Madison Garden, Lian Dao, as in last season, gave a speech as a guest.
The moment Lian Dao came on stage wearing a championship baseball cap, the cheers on the scene exploded.
Although a year has passed, it has only passed a year.
They vaguely remembered that Lian Dao said last season that he would lead the Knicks to complete the defense.
And, he really did what he said.
However, the fans below were not the first to take the lead, and the scene quickly sounded in unison.
"Dynasty! Dynasty! Dynasty!"
People can't wait to see Lian Dao create a dynasty for the Knicks.
"The dynasty will belong to the Knicks, and the new era will belong to the Knicks. Next season, I will bring New York three consecutive championships!
"
At the end of his speech, Lian Dao responded to the eager expectations of the fans.
Unlike James who said he would bring Miami seven championships, when Lian Dao said these words, the fans below showed the fanaticism and unconditional trust like believers.
】
This is mainly because Lian Dao has always kept his word.
Lian Dao's words put a lot of pressure on Donnie Walsh who was chatting with D'Antoni.
In addition to Lian Dao's absolute strength, the Knicks were able to complete two consecutive championships. Another reason is that the Knicks' own lineup fits very well.
But this summer, many players in the Knicks are facing contract extensions, including Lian Dao.
And some players have already won the championship, so in the contract renewal, they are more inclined to get a big contract in the future than the championship.
For Downey, the challenges encountered this summer are not small.
After the speech was over, Lian Dao returned to his seat.
…
After the finals, apart from congratulating the Knicks for winning the championship, all the media were most concerned about the dynamics of Miami.
You know, this is the second time that the Big Three of the Miami Heat have failed in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Big Three were able to walk together back then, but it was all because of the championship.
But now, they have not broken out of the East for two consecutive years, which definitely does not meet the expectations of the Big Three.
It is estimated that the Big Three are likely to part ways this summer.
Therefore, the biggest news this summer may be where the Big Three go.
ESPN also took advantage of the heat and released an online vote on the fate of the Heat's Big Three.
Most fans believe that the Big Three will disband.
After all, during the semifinals when Dragon King Bosh was injured, there were rumors within the Heat that if the Heat fell in the semifinals, they would announce the disbandment of the Big Three in the summer.
However, many fans believe that the Heat's management will continue to strengthen. After all, the strength of the Heat's Big Three in the Eastern Conference Finals is not all without opportunities.
In particular, it was not easy for the Knicks to win in the Eastern Conference Finals.
And the most important thing is that many Knicks players face the problem of contract renewal in the summer, and whether they can guarantee the integrity of the plastic surgery is still a problem.
In the eyes of Miami fans, as long as they cross the Knicks mountain, they are basically flying high.
…
Two days later, James posted the news on social media.
"We didn't fall down, put in more sweat, and the league will encounter a different Heat next season!"
Behind this sentence is a group photo of the Heat's Big Three and a photo of training together.
From the news released by James, it can be seen that the Big Three have no plans to break up at all, and they still choose to fight for the championship together.
Once James' news on social media was sent out, it quickly became a hot topic.
After seeing the news on the phone, Lian Dao also smiled slightly.
He has known for a long time that the Big Three cannot be disbanded.
First of all, it is impossible for the Heat management to disband the Big Three.
Although the Heat's salary space will exceed the luxury tax, the influence of the Big Three will bring the Heat far more income than the luxury tax paid.
Therefore, the owner of the Heat will never hand out the cornucopia in person.
Secondly, it is impossible for James to leave the Heat now.
When James joined the Heat, he made a high-profile announcement that he would bring seven championships to Miami.
Now, without winning a championship, he left like a bereaved dog, which is really not in line with his "little emperor" personality.
What's more, it is even less likely to win the championship if the league joins other teams besides the Heat.
Now some teams with the ability to win the championship have basically locked up their salary space, and the rest are some big teams.
Even if some team owners are willing to trade reinforcements for James, it will take time, trading time, running-in time...
In the end, it is not easy to say whether it can reach the level of tacit understanding of the Heat's Big Three.
In the Heat, Wade and Bosh are still at the tail end of their peaks, and the key is that their cooperation is also complementing each other.
Therefore, Lian Dao knew from the very beginning that the Big Three were unlikely to be disbanded.
Historically, the Big Three were disbanded because James had already won two championships.
He also doesn't want to sacrifice his salary to renew his contract with Miami in order to chase the championship.
Of course, another reason is that the state of Wade and Bosh in 2014 has declined seriously.
In James' view, in the Heat, the probability of winning the championship in the future is really not high.
Although the Big Three have not been disbanded, the team needs someone to take the blame for their strength in the playoffs.
Since this person is not the Big Three, he must be the head coach.
On the second day after James posted on social media, the Heat's official website updated the dynamics.
They fired head coach Spoelstra, and Pat Riley announced that he was stepping down as head coach.
However, Pat Riley did not let Spoelstra go, but rehired Spoelstra as an assistant coach.
This operation directly shocked Lian Dao's jaw.
Lian Dao was not surprised when Spoelstra was fired. After all, there must be a blame man, after all, an explanation must be given to the Miami fans.
But then he rehired Sipo as an assistant coach. Lian Dao really didn't expect this coquettish operation.
Is Spo shameless?
Well, he can choose to stay in the Heat, it seems that he really doesn't want to lose face.
However, Lian Dao still admired Pat Lailly.
After all, Spoelstra chose to stay with the Heat, and Pat Lailly's "perfect tongue" behind him must have worked hard.
Next season, the Heat with a new 'brain' will be even more difficult to deal with than this season.
…
‘Where will the Big Three go? ’ After the dust settled on the issue, now the media has brought the focus back to the draft.
After the curtain falls on the finals, there is another week before the draft for the new season.
This year's NBA Draft is still held at Madison Square Garden, known as the "Basketball Mecca".
The draft came as scheduled, and Lian Dao followed the draft team to participate in the draft.
In fact, Lian Dao didn't want to attend this kind of event. After all, he had just finished the finals, and he wanted to take a good rest before preparing for the Olympics.
The second is that the Knicks' draft pick is too late, and there is no operability at all.
Other teams in the league now regard lottery picks as a treasure in their hands, and few teams choose lottery picks.
Especially since the Knicks selected Lian Dao as the core to win the championship, the teams that get the top three picks will never trade without super temptation.
Compared with trading, they are more willing to take a gamble, what if they choose the next 'Liandao'!
Other teams may have opportunities to trade up, but the Knicks basically have no chance.
When they won the championship trophy for the second time, the Knicks became the public enemy of the other 29 teams in the league.
Of course, if James Dolan is willing to put cheap rice on the shelves I believe that the other 29 teams in the league are not only willing to trade the No. 1 pick, but even the entire Stud team.
But unfortunately, James Dolan has not yet dug his own grave.
Although he likes to play tricks, at least he is not an idiot.
Donny Walsh asked Lian Dao about the selection as usual.
Lian Dao also had a headache after reading the list of all players participating in the draft.
In terms of the quality of players in this draft, it is actually very good.
Especially Anthony Davis who led the University of Kentucky to win the ncaa championship not long ago.
He is also the player with the highest call for the No. 1 pick in this draft.
In Anthony Davis' draft report, the evaluation is also very high.
Anthony Davis has outstanding athletic talent, his wingspan is also amazing, he is tall but as flexible as a guard.
