Paul left the venue, leaving the reporters looking at each other again.
At this time, the Kings fans were going crazy.
Two stars retired after one game, and both of them are among the 75 greatest stars in history.
This is really unacceptable.
"I'm crazy. Brother Pao has retired, Brother Gua has retired. What does this mean for the Kings? Are they going to break up after the game?"
"Let's break up and divide the luggage. I want to go back to Gaolaozhuang."
"No, I want to see Gua Ge play for two more years. If he plays for two more years with Wang Yi, he will definitely win two more championships."
However, now that it has been decided, it is no joke.
When Paul returned to the locker room holding the O'Brien Trophy, the players came over to hug Paul and expressed their respect for his decision.
To be honest, Paul is considered complete, and his state in the playoffs this year is indeed very different from previous years.
Averaged only 5 points and less than 5 assists per game.
Instead, there were 6 turnovers.
Although he can still fight, he himself knows that he is really old and his reaction speed has slowed down too much.
He's an old-school player.
The playing styles are extremely old school.
It is no longer compatible with today's fast-paced NBA.
Winning a championship with Wang Yi is already a bit of a mess.
There is a high probability that his condition will decline next season.
At that time, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to play. In that case, even if he won the championship, he himself wouldn't be able to accept it.
So it would be better for him to retire where he is.
At this time, the atmosphere in the locker room was once again slightly sad.
In this slightly sad atmosphere, James walked out of the locker room.
He personally has a very good relationship with Paul Anthony.
The three of them plus Wade, the former four banana boat brothers.
They are also the so-called Four Heroes.
This shows how good their relationship is.
Now that Wade has retired a long time ago, and tonight these two brothers retire again, he is the only one left among the Four Heroes.
And he is already 40 years old, so he probably won't be able to fight for much longer.
So when he walked out of the locker room, his steps were naturally a little heavy.
And when he entered the venue with heavy steps, all the reporters looked at him strangely.
He understands.
Both himself and Paul Anthony are veterans around 40 years old.
Anthony retired just now;
Paul retired.
So these people obviously thought about the possibility of retiring.
If three 75-year-old superstars retire in one game, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire sports world.
James couldn't help but make a face: "Please, I'm not planning to retire yet. Bronny and I have only played for one year, and I want to play a few more games with him. I want to play with him at the same time."
When he said this, everyone reacted.
In the past season, although James and Bronny were on the same team, they never seemed to play on the court at the same time.
Bronny can only be considered a fringe player.
Although there was improvement towards the end of the season, he was just barely able to enter a stable rotation.
But by the end of the season, James was taking more breaks.
It is even less possible for the two of them to play at the same time.
So when Bronny heard that James said he would not retire, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He also wants to play at the same time as his father.
There is no precedent in the NBA for a father and son to play at the same time.
And it is different from ordinary children, who feel that their father is omnipotent when they are young, but when they grow up, they feel that their father is nothing.
The tall image of his father in his mind will collapse.
For Brownie, his father's achievements are beyond his reach in this life, so he still only admires his father.
So he never wants to see his father retire.
That night, after attending the press conference, the Kings players took a plane back to Sacramento overnight.
After getting off the plane, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning.
But they didn't go back to each house to find their respective mothers.
Instead, they went straight to the nightclub - although it was already morning, when they won the championship, the boss had already booked a nightclub in advance.
As for them, aren't they tired after playing a finals game?
Come on, who would be tired of something as exciting as winning a championship?
And they also caught up on six hours of sleep on the plane.
Although Wang Yi doesn't like the noisy environment of nightclubs, if the team celebrates together, of course he will go.
If you win the championship and even the team boss doesn't celebrate with the players, that would be too unkind.
I was high in the nightclub from morning until about two o'clock at night.
The players finally returned to their respective homes.
Then he started to rest.
I slept until the afternoon of the next day.
After a season of hard work, I can finally have a good sleep.
Then the championship parade was held.
For this year’s championship parade, more than twice as many people poured into Sacramento than in previous years.
The number of people marching reached more than 1.5 million.
After all, Sacramento is also a small-market team.
Although it is the capital of California, it is always ignored.
Far less famous than Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Nowadays, it is very rare for 1.5 million fans to come to participate in the championship parade.
When participating in the parade, the team first passed through the center of the city.
Looking at the dark crowd below, the Kings players were standing on the parade car, and they were all in high spirits.
Then they came to the Sacramento River and rode a big boat down the river, while the audience on both sides of the river cheered excitedly.
From now on, Sacramento is also a city that has won three consecutive championships.
This is definitely an amazing achievement in the NBA.
If any city wins three consecutive championships, people there can brag when they go to other places.
After a whole day of parades to win the championship, Wang Yi returned home and turned off his phone again to sleep.
At around 11 noon on the second day, Kings general manager Divac and his boss came to Wang Yi’s home in person.
Discuss contract renewal with him.
It's not July 1 yet, the free agent market has not yet opened, and other teams have no way to contact Wang Yi.
As the parent team, the Kings have this privilege and can discuss contract renewal with Wang Yi before July 1.
Both the Kings general manager and the owner want to seize the last half month to renew Wang Yi's contract.
Although Wang Yi has decided to stay with the Kings and win four consecutive championships.
If they win four consecutive championships, they will be the only team in history. Except for the Celtics who won eight consecutive championships, no other team has won more than four consecutive championships.
But Wang Yi still did not immediately commit to the team.
The boss really treats him well.
But he also needs to test the free agent market and let the boss clearly realize his value.
Chapter completed!
