Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters Chapter 1077 1077 607 I Like Being Alone

Chapter 1077: Chapter 607: I Like Being Alone Chapter 1077: Chapter 607: I Like Being Alone The Clippers celebration was about to begin.

Even for Los Angeles, the Clippers championship was of significant importance to the city.

It’s been 13 years since the Lakers last won the championship.

The next championship for the Lakers seems to be a long way off. Although the purple and gold team has improved this season, they still lack the capital to win a championship.

The Clippers, as a more competitive team, have clearly impacted the Lakers’ base in California. This championship would truly shake up the Lakers’ dominance in the Los Angeles sports market.

Steve Ballr was extrely excited.

Many people were skeptical about his acquisition of the Clippers, after all, he paid a record-breaking fee, but now, those expenditures are no longer a problem.

...

The Clippers beca champions in just two years. Although Ballr was completely uninvolved in team-building during this ti, he was just an investor, but what’s wrong with that role if the victories keep coming?

Moreover, the team was already on the right track, turning a considerable profit before winning the championship, and with this championship, they would harvest the market even more insanely.

Ballr knew, who brought it all.

Yu Fei, however, didn’t show the uncontrollable excitent like his younger teammates. He approached Curry and softly said, “Well played.”

27-year-old Curry missed the opportunity to lead his team to a three-peat this year. Every player craves the accomplishnt of a dynasty, but only a few can achieve such an opportunity.

With this opportunity lost, will there be another in the future? Curry believed there would be. After all, the man standing in front of him had, after losing the chance for a three-peat, accomplished the great feat of winning championships in six consecutive seasons.

Therefore, Curry said, “Not good enough.”

Yu Fei didn’t say much more, and they embraced.

Then, Yu Fei moved on to the next person.

Wade didn’t look so upset, after all, he was no longer the Miami Heat’s chief player and had missed the chance to win back-to-back FMVPs last season. In the sumr, he would beco a free agent, and as a top combo guard in the league, his market value was still promising.

Yu Fei asked, “Will we see you in a Heat jersey next year?”

Wade didn’t answer directly, instead he said, “If the Clippers can win the championship, then nothing in this world is impossible!”

Yu Fei had a hunch, a player like Wade who had accomplished back-to-back championships core player wouldn’t play second fiddle to Curry, whom he watched enter the league, before a significant decline. Since the Heat chose Curry between the two, Wade could only choose to leave.

Then ca Butler; Yu Fei teased him about his resemblance to Jordan and thanked him for entering the finals.

“You know why I was in such good form in the playoffs? Because the thought of soone who looks a lot like number 23 waiting for in the finals excited imnsely.”

Yu Fei’s words left Butler sowhat helpless; it turns out that Yu Fei’s good performance was really because of his appearance that moved the other party’s emotions, rather than his performance itself, the GOAT needed to bring out their best condition to win.

Finally, there was Love, who could be considered the Miami Heat’s main culprit. Although his outside shooting ability was a headache when facing Yao Ming, what really kept Yao off the court was the periter isolation line composed of Curry, Wade, and Butler.

Love was more like the icing on the cake. His advantage was that his distance shooting made it difficult for Yao to perform, but in reality, it was the periter players who suppressed Yao, making Love appear to have an advantage against Yao.

Starting from the fifth ga of the finals, the Clippers benched Yao facing Yu Fei, and Love simply turned into his ATM.

In the fifth and sixth gas of the finals, Yu Fei scored 38 points, 16 rebounds, and 35 points, 15 rebounds against Love.

As a key point of failure for the Heat, Love and Yu Fei didn’t have much interaction.

However, Yu Fei said with a hint of malice, “Hope to see you in the finals next year.”

Next up was the head coach of the Miami Heat.

As Riley’s chief assistant back then, Erik Spoelstra personally witnessed Yu Fei with his advanced performance preventing Shaquille O’Neal from playing in 2006.

That was 2006.

The Heat still believe that was the year they ca closest to winning the championship in O’Neal’s era. If they could overco the Bucks, they had a good chance against the Mavericks in the final. Unfortunately, they t the GOAT.

Looking back, their failure that year was inevitable, just like all the teams facing Yu Fei in the finals over the years.

Nearly a decade had passed. They took advantage of Yu Fei’s team’s slump to win back-to-back championships, but in the key mont for a three-peat, they faced Yu Fei again.

The result was almost no different from 2006.

“Frye, will you really retire at 35?” Coach Spo earnestly asked.

“That’s an ill-tid question, Eric.” Yu Fei’s response left Coach Spo pale, “A night like this always makes want to play until I’m 40 and retire.”

Yu Fei countered, “Who doesn’t love a night like this?”

It’s hard to imagine what Yu Fei would look like playing at 40, but Coach Spo didn’t continue.

After greeting his opponents, Yu Fei turned back and saw Rivers doused in energy drink by so unidentified person, but he looked incredibly joyful.

No wonder, having worked in basketball all his life, this was his first championship win in his professional career. The mont he had waited for too long.

“Always thinking, what if we hadn’t t you in 2008?” Rivers suddenly said.
