416: The best chance, sometimes the last chance(2/2)
No, not maybe. I firmly believe that one day you can surpass the clamp.
To be honest, I always thought that I could be your Pippen and assist you in achieving your legend.
but
I think you have to find another Pippen, Lee.
I can feel that my speed and bounce have dropped a lot now. I can't do the horizontal movement speed that I could easily achieve in the past.
When we first got together, we painted a beautiful picture of the future together. But now, I have no confidence!”
O'Neal said little, his fists clenched and his joints turned white.
Li Ang was not surprised by O'Neal's attitude. With O'O's psychological qualities, it was normal for him to become depressed after suffering a major injury.
When Li Ang failed last season, he was also very depressed.
Li Ang just leaned leisurely on the lounge chair and watched the hot Arizona sunshine:
"You can't have confidence, but are you willing?"
Faced with overwhelming doubts and abuses, and faced with the contempt of the outside world, don’t you want to do anything to show them?
In fact, life is a choice again and again.
Of course you can choose to stand still, Jermaine.
From then on, there will be no one else who will remember that there was a player named Jermaine O'Neal in ten years.
Of course, you can also choose to rise up and resist.
Even if it's just a last try, try it.
How do you choose Jermaine? Just like everyone else, or continue to be with me, and make the entire league tremble?
Keep going, or stop here?”
Li Ang looked at O'Neal, and he bit his lip tightly. Obviously, he didn't want to stop there.
He is only one year older than Li Ang, and his career is longer.
Seeing that O'Neal did not give up completely, Li Ang continued to speak:
"I don't need to find another Pippen, because in my heart you are not Pippen either.
You are you, I have partnered with the best inside player. When I first described the future, I didn’t mean that I became a legend, I mean that we became a legend.
I still believe that as long as we continue to stand together in unity and closeness, we will be enough to make the entire league tremble.
Next season, I think we still have a chance. Our lineup is actually good. Although there are a group of people around us, we have actually gone through that turbulent period.
Next season is our best chance to return to the top.
But the best chance, sometimes, may be the last chance.
I won't force you to make a choice, I can only tell you that I want to be a legend, and I can't do it without you.
Think about it, keep moving forward, or just stop here.”
After saying that, Li Ang stood up and patted Xiao Ao on the shoulder, then walked into the living room, and started playing with Ashajia.
Leave time for Xiao Ao to think alone.
Every word Li Ang said comes from the heart, and the best opportunity is also the last chance. This is not only for O'Neal, but also for Li Ang to listen to himself.
Li Ang’s ambitions have not been extinguished yet, he still wants to rule the league and become a legend.
Although he has established a three-game winning dynasty, it was built on two teams after all.
Many people are not convinced.
Li Ang’s next goal is to achieve three consecutive championships in the same team!
Li Ang’s contract expires in 2009, but in 2008, Li Ang has the option of player and can break out of the contract.
Therefore, the two seasons of 06-07 and 07-08 are the last chances that Li Ang left for himself and the Suns.
If it can be achieved, then he will execute the last year contract in the summer of 2008.
And if Savo still disturbs the team like this, he will still be so stingy that he will not see the hope of three consecutive championships.
Then Li Ang had to change places to achieve his goal of becoming a legend.
Still the same thing, Li Ang is not interested in being a city hero for Mi Li’s fans. Li Ang does not yearn for such things as one person and one city.
The best opportunity, the last chance.
Little O'Neal sat alone on the lounge chair, and the Arizona sun shone with sweat.
At this time, O'Neal picked up the newspaper on the ground and took a casual look.
"The Suns will no longer be a championship team next season, because even if Jermaine returns, he will never be able to play at the level at that time."
“Instead of discussing the Suns, we might as well look forward to whether the Cavaliers will become the darling of the new era.”
"Stop fantasizing, the sun will always set."
Looking at the news, O'Neal little kneaded the newspapers into pieces.
So far?
Of course I'm not willing to give up!
I still want to win more goals, get more points, and become an Arizona legend with Li Ang!
The sun in Arizona will never set!
A week later, the Suns' new season training camp officially started, and this brand new Suns finally gathered for the first time.
This is also the first time O'Neal has returned to the training ground after more than half a year.
Raga Bell was trying to beat his hands, Dior was curious about everything around him, Rajan Rondo looked at everyone with disdain, Millsap just wanted to survive.
Tomjanovic looked at the group of people in front of him, and to be honest, after a lot of trouble, this lineup was indeed not as good as the peak Suns.
But Tom Janovic believes that basketball games are not determined by the paper lineup.
As long as Li Ang is here, he will be confident in leading such a team well!
After everyone arrived, Tom Janovic clapped his hands:
"Okay, I'll just say a few words. From the moment we gather here, our goal is to win the championship!
Yes, some of you may not believe it themselves.
Phoenix Sun, champion? In the eyes of the media, we have declined and our era has ended.
but
The next words and stories I want to say may have already heard calluses in your ears.
But I still have to tell you, never underestimate the heart of a champion, guys!
I won’t pretend to do my best. Our goal next season is to win the championship!”
In the afternoon of the same day, the Suns' official website announced the makeup photos for the new season.
People were surprised to find that the entire Suns team had shaved their heads, and even the wet hair that had been floating before was no exception.
The copywriting for the makeup photo is also very simple and crude:
Chapter completed!
