Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

“Luka, it’s time you hired a better fitness trainer.

Gaining weight can certainly enhance your confrontational abilities, giving you an advantage in physical confrontations with other players.

However, you must know one thing, that is, whether your body can support your current weight.

Injuries are part of the job, and avoiding them as much as possible and reducing the negative factors that may cause injuries will effectively improve your career. "

Game 4 of the Finals came to an end, and Durant hugged Doncic, who looked a little frustrated.

At the same time, as a farewell to the finals stage and taking the opportunity to pass on some things, Durant also gave Doncic some advice and taught him everything he knew.

Doncic definitely has the potential to become a superstar and lead his team to win the championship.

It’s a pity that he lacks self-discipline and relies only on offense without defense, which makes him seem imperfect on the field.

It is also because of these reasons that he is still some distance away from becoming a superstar capable of leading a team to win the championship.

Of course, if he has a lot of outstanding teammates, or if he takes the initiative to leave Dallas and form a team with other stars who match his personalities and like-minded players, he may be able to reach the top of the league early.

But if Doncic is satisfied with the status quo, he will have to leave the Dallas Mavericks sooner or later.

Who would have thought that Doncic would be sold by his new owner because he was too fat and suffered from injuries?
Even if there are other subjective reasons, it is Doncic's lack of self-discipline, injuries, and lack of defense that gave the boss such an excuse.

Of course, even if the Mavericks remain in Cuban's hands, Doncic may not be able to stay in Dallas for long.

Cuban is not young anymore, but Doncic is still young.

When he was in his thirties and his peak began to decline, he still saw no hope of winning a championship in Dallas. Perhaps Doncic himself would have some thoughts of leaving Dallas and joining a group somewhere else.

But none of this has happened yet, so Duane hopes that these things will not happen to Doncic.

That is Durant, who was sold to the Bulls by the Lakers owner not long after entering the NBA. He has no right to preach to Doncic about what it means to be one man, one city.

Otherwise, this matter must be made clear to Doncic.

To be honest, although the NBA is a commercial league, some of its achievements are difficult for ordinary people to achieve and are indeed worthy of promotion and respect.

The reason why "One Man, One City" can be brought up by veteran stars and some fans is that rare things are valuable, and the honor of "One Man, One City" is precious.

There are many people who start well, but few who can finish well.

There are too many talented players in the NBA, but there are only a few stars who are recognized by team management.

There are even fewer players who can remain unabandoned by the team when their strength declines.

The reason why the team owner can be so humane is mainly because the stars have made outstanding contributions during their more than ten years of playing for the team, and have been recognized by the team owner, management, and even fans of the entire city.

And this is the most rare and precious place.

It's like a player who has a thousand wins on a single team, nine hundred wins on a single team, or eight hundred wins on a single team.

Even if he did not help the team win the championship, his diligent contributions year after year brought the team and fans a lot of honors and precious memories.

Most people like success because they have experienced so many failures before achieving it, so success becomes sweeter and more precious.

For people, the experience of experiencing failure, recovering from failure, and then achieving success is the most valuable asset.

Success is only a temporary pleasure, but the experience gained from going through hardships and overcoming failure is enough to enjoy for a lifetime.

Now Duane will retire with these experiences, and he probably won't have the chance to make a comeback and return to the finals next time.

That is why Duane hopes Doncic can learn from the lessons of this Finals, go back and polish his skills and body, and strive to make further progress.
If Doncic can succeed in Dallas, perhaps everything will be different.

After Duane left the NBA, he hoped that the Bulls would not only retain the tradition of one player, one city, but also continue to maintain this good habit. Back to the point, after Duane hugged and said goodbye to Doncic and other Mavericks players, he quickly put on the championship uniforms and baseball caps prepared by the staff with other Bulls players.

This year, they won the championship at home, in front of 20,000 Chicago fans at the United Center, and once again lifted the championship trophy and established a dynasty.

This is undoubtedly slightly different from the past two years.

Not to mention, after winning this championship, the Bulls dynasty will completely collapse.

The contracts of Ohashi, Big Head, Lowe and Anthony have expired, and the bench of this three-peat dynasty is completely empty.

In the core lineup, Durant and Curry are one year older, and their competitiveness in the next two years will definitely decline, or even fall off a cliff.

Without the support of Duane and Curry, and without the Bulls' salary cap boost, it will be extremely difficult for Jokic to lead Wiggins and a group of rookies to win the championship.

Even if Durant were to lead such a young team, it would probably be very challenging and would take a year or two.

Not to mention, winning too many championships over the years has attracted too much hatred from other teams in the league and the league's top management.

Even the league's sponsors and gambling companies will make a fuss about some games.

It becomes even more unrealistic to overcome these factors and win the championship.

Fortunately, Duane is on the verge of retirement, Duane has received his pension, and can accept his fate.

That was why, when holding the trophy this time, Duen took the initiative to stand aside.

Although they are not the main players, they still give up the C position to Jokic and Curry.

In this year's playoffs and finals, Curry is much stronger than Durant, and he is definitely the second in command.

In this three-peat dynasty, the team leader at the beginning was not Jokic but Curry.

So, this dynasty can be called the dynasty of Curry and Jokic, or the dynasty of Jokic and Curry.

In short, Duane has been reduced to a supporting role and a foil.

Of course, the team owner and management have not forgotten Duane's contribution.

The fans certainly didn't either. When the team owner and general manager mentioned Duane and expressed their gratitude, the cheers from the 20,000 Bulls fans at the scene also made Duane quite happy.

“We are in a good era, we are enjoying the joy of victory, the joy of success.

However, victory is only temporary and the honor of championship only represents the past.

We are about to face a brand new challenge! It may be an extremely difficult and uncomfortable experience.

I believe we will come back and our future holds endless possibilities!"

When it was Duen's turn to speak, he did not keep thanking and congratulating like the others did. Instead, he spoke of his "retirement speech" in a somewhat sad tone.

When the microphone was passed to Anthony, the atmosphere on the scene became lively again.

With 20,000 fans cheering and clapping, Anthony said without saying anything: "Melo Out!"

For a moment, it seemed as if an era had come to an end.

But the real founder and ruler of this era is still on the field.

However, he did not fight vigorously as he did in the past, but was a little shameless and took on a retirement contract and played basketball for health. (End of this chapter)
