Jermaine O’Neal, a super power forward of the 96 golden generation, an outstanding representative of the high school draft. He averaged 20+10+2 in his peak period and was once known as the successor to the league's four major forwards.
O'Neal is the proud protégé of Isiah Thomas, who broke out after being traded from the Trail Blazers to the Pacers after Isiah coached. Isaiah specially formulated the end of the pick-and-roll battle for this talented high school student, releasing his mid-range shooting ability. And with his excellent lateral shifting ability on the defensive end, he became a superstar in the league.
At his peak, O'Neal is omnipotent. He has excellent mid-range shots, the ability to open the line of defense in the penalty area, as well as flexible pace and terrifying ability to protect the basket... the highest light in his career. At that moment, he is a super defensive player who can go from outside to inside. (The defensive coverage area is not even less than that of Anthony Davis today)
Jermaine went to Los Angeles without hesitation after O'Neal ended his last-year high-paying contract.
He and his teacher Isiah Thomas appeared at the press conference at the same time, announcing the signing of a three-year, 11 million dollar contract with the Clippers.
Ron Artest and Vince Carter appeared with him at this conference.
Ron Artest finally got his wish and became Li Zhen’s younger brother. Although they had some grievances on the court in the past, he has been praising Li Zhen in the media in recent years and can’t wait to become Li Zhen’s subordinate. One member.
Although Artest no longer has the courage of the past, as a heavy small forward, he still has a certain degree of single-defense ability, and this is a player with strong mental attributes. He is a young man on the court. The players will be more confident.
Of course, the most important thing is. He only needs 980,000 US dollars a year.
And he also took 7 million US dollars from the Los Angeles Lakers last season.
This is undoubtedly a high-quality and inexpensive business.
The arrival of Vince Carter made the City of Angels full of surprises. The most ornamental and representative shooting guard at the beginning of this century, after the Phoenix Suns bought out his last year of 19 million US dollars, he chose to spend 3 years 1,200 A ten-thousand-dollar middle-class contract joins the Los Angeles Clippers.
There are other teams willing to offer him a higher price.
In fact, Jermaine O’Neal and Artest both refused more money.
The Clippers won the hearts of all veterans in accepting Stephen Nash and Jason Kidd, and they saw the respect this team has for veterans. Therefore, they would rather accept some financial difference and choose the Los Angeles Clippers.
Interestingly, the New York Knicks were very proactive in recruiting O'Neal and Vince Carter, and they gave more money when they were rich.
However, for these veterans, respect is far more important than money.
The most important thing is: They all know that when they come to the Los Angeles Clippers, there will not be so many people who say they are holding their thighs. After all...Compared with the Big Four in the Big Apple, the Los Angeles Clippers have Bruce a superstar.
People will only say that they are a group of veterans who are out of breath.
This is extremely exciting for them. They are all suffocating their energy to prove themselves.
Furthermore, for these former superstars who have been famous for a long time and have had glorious years, it is a delight to be able to play with the point guards who were longing for before.
Jason Kidd, Stephen Nash...These two are the most attractive and attractive point guards among the older generation of stars. Before playing with them, you had to wait for the All-Star Game.
With the arrival of Jermaine O’Neal, Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Ron Artest, Stephen Nash, Jason Kidd, the Los Angeles Clippers have jumped from the youngest team in the league to the average age. Among the top three teams, only the Boston Celtics can wrestle with them.
"We came here to explode all the energy in the fuel tank." Vince Carter told reporters at the press conference: "This is the closest time our career is to a championship."
As one of the four shooting guards of the year, and the number one dunk in the history of the NBA, Vince Carter is full of desire for a championship. He hopes to win a championship ring while he can still contribute.
Jermaine O’Neal also expressed the same idea, and he also emphasized that he can impart experience to young players.
However, the media are more willing to report on this veteran feeling.
instead of giving them much hope for the road to championship.
People always don’t use their muscles and bones for energy.
In front of so many super-teams at the top, there are too many uncertain factors for this team.
Although the Los Angeles Clippers won the championship last season, the time and space are different now.
The New York Knicks made targeted reinforcements, including digging out Ty Gibson from their opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals and signing James’ old teammate Ilgauskas with a two-year salary.
In addition, LeBron James also reduced weight after the team's internal line was strengthened, and all the news throughout the offseason showed that he was working **** technology. His appearance at the end of September made people see gratifying changes.
At the same time, many TV shows during the offseason found that the 4:0 sweep luck of the Los Angeles Clippers is indeed very high. If they do it again, it is really difficult for them to replicate the success.
The main reason why the Clippers are not optimistic is... the Los Angeles Lakers.
After the Lakers got Yao Huang and Paul, their call for the championship has surpassed their opponents in the same city. Some people even began to discuss the issue of who the Lakers were stronger when they met the OK team for three consecutive championships.
Kobe talked on Time Warner TV in early October.
Time Warner purchased the exclusive rights to broadcast the two teams, the Lakers and the Clippers, and they will report on the details of the two teams from all aspects. The terms of the contract include that they will conduct exclusive interviews with major players before each season.
Bryant claimed that the current Lakers are at the peak of their long history, and that they will give full marks to this offseason perfect operation in June next year.
Twenty minutes of interview, he spent fifteen minutes praising the management, Yao Yang and Chris Paul.
shows the happy atmosphere of this team.
This makes the fans of the Purple Golden Army look forward to the coming of the new season...Although the labor agreement is still being discussed back and forth in a frenzy, because of the soaring broadcast costs, the players union requires more than 50% of the salary cap. Increase.
Li Zhen also talked about this issue in the interview the next day.
As the strangest existence in the league, he is not only the strongest player in the whole league, but also the team owner.
"I will not express any opinions on this matter. No matter what agreement is reached in the end, I will accept it frankly."
Li Zhen only had such a simple one-sent response to labor negotiations.
Because the negotiation has not been reached, he has been in a crazy press state this month. He always teaches each other, there is always no drop left.
He really hopes that a men’s union will also stand up to protect men.
It's a pity...even if there is a men's union, the first thing the union does is to expel Li Zhen from the union. Because... other men don't have a dozen juicers waiting to be fed.
"They are idols of the times. To be able to play with them is something that my dream reflects into reality. I like them so much. Although the training camp has not started yet, we have been training together for several days. Everyone All of them have recovered very well."
Li Zhen told the media: “Also, I have asked Jermaine to treat his toes first. He needs a minor operation.”
"Ron Artest also needs surgery. He has been affected by a finger injury. He claimed that it affected his shooting, although everyone thought it was an excuse he made."
"There are also Vince and Allen, they also need to rest, I will not let them expend energy in the meaningless return run. Anyway, Allen doesn't like training, they are all soaking in the Pacific Ocean, swimming and physiotherapy. It."
"But our aim is...to make these old guys easy to play. They need to return to the game in a completely healthy posture. We have always been indifferent to the outcome of the regular season."
Li Zhen seems to be vaccinating the fans.
However, Iverson said two days later: "That guy is deliberately driving away our scorers. He wants to be the scoring champion this year."
"He has never been involved in that stuff. Many commentators are saying that GOAT in basketball should have that thing. So, he took the lead in attacking us."
Iverson tossed the pot on TV.
Judging from the smile on his face, they get along very happily, and they have fast-forwarded to the point where they can joke with each other.
However, the news that came out at the end of October worried Clippers fans.
Bruce Lee and Blake Griffin had an argument in a bar in Las Vegas.
There is gossip in the media that these two teammates were jealous because of a stripper, and then they fought.
It’s hard not to worry about the team’s internal unity.
Some people even think of the Dallas Mavericks' 3J combination crashing event: The Mavericks that were thriving at the time were because of the three players who fought against just one woman, and finally broke up.
"So, this is why the Los Angeles Clippers invited Jason Kidd to join? He brings advanced experience of jealousy?"
Vicious commentators can always find something to ridicule.
But Li Zhen is silent on this matter.
……
Time is even going back to the night of the Los Angeles Clippers' championship. The young Blake Griffin enjoys the pursuit and spotlight that he has never enjoyed in his life.
As the rising star of the Clippers, the future superstar of the league, and the championship winner, he was introduced to various Vanity Fair parties in Los Angeles. Young and strong, with a strong outgoing personality, he soon became the darling of the party, and he has gained a lot of popularity.
These pursuits made him forget.
He is like all young people who are overwhelmed, frequenting various night clubs.
Paul George’s departure did not give him the slightest alert.
He even played in Las Vegas.
Before this, Li Zhen had heard of his licentious private life. He criticized Blake Griffin verbally. Griffin promised that he would definitely return to his best condition before the start of the season, and he promised that he would never go out fooling around again from that moment.
Frankly speaking, Li Zhen has no obligation or authority to manage the private life of another adult.
But, as the team’s big brother, he does not want Griffin to go astray.
So, he is persuading him with one.
Griffin has always promised how icy and clean he is.
Until Li Zhen participated in a business event in Las Vegas, and was inevitably taken to a famous club. Then he saw Griffin who was swallowing clouds and sitting beside a few girls in cool clothes.
This makes Li Zhen very sad.
But he did not stop Griffin, or dispel him.
Until the two left, Griffin said to Li Zhen: "This is really my first time this month..."
Griffin is explaining.
He emphasized that he did not do anything depraved.
He even grabbed Li Zhen's shoulder.
"I don't want you to have a bad opinion of me."
Griffin seemed to say very sincerely.
However, he didn't know that his intimate action made Li Zhen added 4 points of bounce talent.
Li is really disappointed. He doesn't like a person who tells lies.
"Originally, these were your private affairs. As an adult, as long as you don’t violate the law, you can do anything. However, I always think you can become a top player in history, even with Tim Duncan and Kevin Nate is like a man..."
"I am a little disappointed."
Li Zhen told Griffin, then he turned and left.
It may be his disappointed look, or Griffin's mood is not stable enough.
He actually yelled from behind: "Didn’t you show up here the same? Why can you but I can’t?"
Li Zhen did not respond.
However, the media took the matter out and made a big fuss.
Makes the new season before the start of the Clippers public opinion is in a mess.
If Bruce Lee really fell out with Griffin, it would definitely be a disaster for this young team that just won the championship.
There are too many promising teams destroyed by contradictions within the team.
The Mavericks led by Jason Kidd is a living example.
Kid even took the initiative to call and ask Li Zhen: What is going on?
Lee Zhen tells Jason Kidd exactly what happened.
Then Jason Kidd discussed with the members of the nursing home, and they decided to have a good chat with Griffin after the training camp started.
This group of old Clippers players, except Stephen Nash, may be honest.
Which other one was not the master of Fenghuaxueyue when he was young?
Even the most serious-looking Vince Carter, in the ice and snowy Toronto that year, he just became Canada's most prestigious bar and nightclub, and became a mecca for NBA players.
They all think that it is not a problem to persuade a young guy who has taken a detour.

So, he took the lead in attacking us."Iverson tossed the pot on TV.Judging from the smile on his face, they get along very happily, and they have fast-forwarded to the point where they can joke with each other.However, the news that came out at the end of October worried Clippers fans.Bruce Lee and Blake Griffin had an argument in a bar in Las Vegas.There is gossip in the media that these two teammates were jealous because of a stripper, and then they fought.It's hard not to worry about the team's internal unity.Some people even think of the Dallas Mavericks' 3J combination crashing event: The Mavericks that were thriving at the time were because of the three players who fought against just one woman, and finally broke up. "So, this is why the Los Angeles Clippers invited Jason Kidd to join? He brings advanced experience of jealousy?"Vicious commentators can always find something to ridicule.But Li Zhen is silent on this matter.Time is even going back to the night of the Los Angeles Clippers' championship. The young Blake Griffin enjoys the pursuit and spotlight that he has never enjoyed in his life.As the rising star of the Clippers, the future superstar of the league, and the championship winner, he was introduced to various Vanity Fair parties in Los Angeles. Young and strong, with a strong outgoing personality, he soon became the darling of the party, and he has gained a lot of popularity.These pursuits made him forget.He is like all young people who are overwhelmed, frequenting various night clubs.Paul George's departure did not give him the slightest alert.He even played in Las Vegas.Before this, Li Zhen had heard of his licentious private life. He criticized Blake Griffin verbally. Griffin promised that he would definitely return to his best condition before the start of the season, and he promised that he would never go out fooling around again from that moment. Frankly speaking, Li Zhen has no obligation or authority to manage the private life of another adult.But, as the team's big brother, he does not want Griffin to go astray.So, he is persuading him with one.Griffin has always promised how icy and clean he is.Until Li Zhen participated in a business event in Las Vegas, and was inevitably taken to a famous club. Then he saw Griffin who was swallowing clouds and sitting beside a few girls in cool clothes.This makes Li Zhen very sad.But he did not stop Griffin, or dispel him.Until the two left, Griffin said to Li Zhen: "This is really my first time this month..."Griffin is explaining.He emphasized that he did not do anything depraved.He even grabbed Li Zhen's shoulder. "I don't want you to have a bad opinion of me."Griffin seemed to say very sincerely.However, he didn't know that his intimate action made Li Zhen added 4 points of bounce talent.Li is really disappointed. He doesn't like a person who tells lies."Originally, these were your private affairs. As an adult, as long as you don't violate the law, you can do anything. However, I always think you can become a top player in history, even with Tim Duncan and Kevin Nate is like a man..." "I am a little disappointed."Li Zhen told Griffin, then he turned and left.It may be his disappointed look, or Griffin's mood is not stable enough.He actually yelled from behind: "Didn't you show up here the same? Why can you but I can't?"Li Zhen did not respond.However, the media took the matter out and made a big fuss. Makes the new season before the start of the Clippers public opinion is in a mess.If Bruce Lee really fell out with Griffin, it would definitely be a disaster for this young team that just won the championship.There are too many promising teams destroyed by contradictions within the team.The Mavericks led by Jason Kidd is a living example.Kid even took the initiative to call and ask Li Zhen: What is going on? Lee Zhen tells Jason Kidd exactly what happened. Then Jason Kidd discussed with the members of the nursing home, and they decided to have a good chat with Griffin after the training camp started.This group of old Clippers players, except Stephen Nash, may be honest.Which other one was not the master of Fenghuaxueyue when he was young? Even the most serious-looking Vince Carter, in the ice and snowy Toronto that year, he just became Canada's most prestigious bar and nightclub, and became a mecca for NBA players.They all think that it is not a problem to persuade a young guy who has taken a detour.Strive for two updates every day
