NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

The day after the Nuggets and Clippers game, Zhou Yi felt sore all over as soon as he got up.

The plump melon is full of brute force, and fighting against it is simply torture.

Zhou Yi usually pays great attention to strength training and can reach the league average level in physical confrontation.

However, there is still a gap in talent compared to these top NBA stars.

Look at these current star players: heavy forwards like LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, heavy guards like Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade, and heavy point guards like Deron Williams and Jason Kidd.

If Zhou Yi wants to survive in the more intense playoffs and even the finals, he must raise the ceiling of his natural muscle strength.

While thinking about these things, Zhou Yi opened the system.

On the system interface, Zhou Yi's exchange points are displayed as 279, which are the points he has accumulated since the summer spending spree.

According to Zhou Yi's calculations, NBA-level games obviously accumulate more exchange points.

In the shopping mall, Zhou Yi carefully selected three star athletes and set his sights on their strength and talent.

Green Kai Pierce, Strength talent, costs 1600 exchange points.

Artest, the Pacers' Strength Talent, is priced at 2100 exchange points.

Bulls' Jimmy Butler, his strength talent is priced at 1800 exchange points.

Looking at the talents of these three, Zhou Yi's eyes revealed a longing.

If Zhou Yi could acquire one of their power talents, his strength would be significantly enhanced.

However, looking at his remaining exchange points, Zhou Yi could only sigh deeply, realizing that the road to upgrading was long and arduous.

Fortunately, a large number of exchange points will be obtained after the season missions end this season, and Zhou Yi can undergo another evolution in the summer.

After shutting down the system, Zhou Yi finished his breakfast and drove to the Clippers' training facility.

Since McMurray took over, the Clippers have been very focused on their daily training, which is one of the reasons why the team has climbed to fifth place in the Western Conference.

The Cadillac was driving along South Sentinel Avenue, with Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" playing inside. Taylor Swift is currently a hot star in the music industry.

Upon arriving at the Clippers training base, as Zhou Yi's car appeared, a group of reporters who had been waiting outside surrounded him, forming three layers around him in the parking lot.

This is Los Angeles, where ubiquitous media reporters can be found everywhere.

They might lurk in the trees outside your villa just to secretly photograph you on a date with a female celebrity, or they might wait near the parking lot to ambush a sports star for an interview.

"Zhou, George Karl and Carmelo Anthony both praised you as a future legend. What are your thoughts on that?"

"Thank you, Coach George Karl and Cameron."

Zhou Yi answered while opening the car door.

The security guards at the Clippers training base saw Zhou Yi's predicament and quickly ran over to help him out. They surrounded Zhou Yi and walked towards the base.

"Zhou, after yesterday's game, the Clippers moved up to fifth in the Western Conference, and you moved up to sixth in the MVP rankings."

"Thank you, this is recognition of my abilities."

"Zhou, Barkley and Kenny Smith call you the next Jordan."

When these words were spoken, Zhou Yi stopped in his tracks.

The crowd stopped moving at that moment, and the reporter who had spoken quickly raised his camera, sensing that Zhou Yi was about to make a big announcement.

"Let the title of Jordan's successor be prepared for the next person; I just want to be the first Zhou Yi."

When Zhou Yi bluntly uttered these words, all the reporters were stunned.

"week......"

After a moment of shock, the reporters immediately crowded around, hoping to uncover more of Zhou Yi's remarks.

However, Zhou Yi did not choose to answer any more questions, but instead entered the base under the protection of security guards.

Jordan's successor?

In the eyes of the I Ching, this statement is a curse of hellish magnitude.

Look at those who were supposed to succeed Jordan: Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway suffered major injuries early in their prime, Carter and McGrady were also plagued by injuries, and even Rose of the Bulls withered away early.

Zhou Yi doesn't want to be cursed, nor does he want to become that damned braised egg.

......

Upon entering the Clippers' training facility, Zhou Yi discovered that Baron Davis had already arrived at the arena and begun practicing.

Recently, Big Beard's weight loss plan has been in full swing, and he has even reduced his beloved outdoor sex activities.

With the arrival of the I Ching, this veteran of ten years has a higher pursuit in his heart.

"Zhou, General Manager Hennigan wants to see you."

When Zhou Yi appeared in the stadium, the staff called out to him.

In the general manager's office, Zhou Yi met Hennigan.

When the I Ching appeared, the youngest general manager in NBA history quickly stood up to greet it, having not forgotten how he got to this position.

Without Zhou Yi's approval from Ballmer, he might still be in charge of player personnel management for the Thunder.

Hennigan brought over a cup of hot coffee and revealed his purpose.

"Zhou, Coach Mike Malone gave me some advice. Our opinion is that Marcus Camby needs to leave the ship temporarily." (Chapter 61)

Hennigan observed Zhou Yi's expression as he spoke, and seeing that the boy's face remained as calm as ever, he handed over several lists.

Zhou Yi took it; it listed some of the trading partners Hennigan had chosen.

There are young, promising players from other teams, as well as some decent supporting players.

As Zhou Yi looked at the list, Hennigan spoke to him.

"Camby's energy has decreased this season, and he often gets into foul trouble."

"He's averaging 7.7 points, 12 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks this season, and he also has an expiring contract worth $915 million, which is a significant trade value."

After Hennigan finished speaking, he continued to observe Zhou Yi's expression in preparation for his next sentence.

He is very clear about his position. For the Clippers and Ballmer, the entire team's executives combined are not as important as Zhou Yi.

This is why Hennigan sought out the I Ching today; without the approval of the person in front of him, Hennigan would have found it difficult to make a decision.

On the other side, Zhou Yi shook his head after putting down the list.

These names are familiar to Zhou Yi, but these players haven't significantly improved the current Clippers, nor have they brought out Camby's trade value.

It's November 2009 now, and there won't be any good fish waiting for the Clippers in the market.

Hennigan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Zhou Yi shake his head.

"Hennigan, these players aren't very meaningful. Let's wait a month; maybe we'll have better options then."

As Zhou Yi spoke, a name came to mind.

Antoine Jamison, one of the Wizards' Big Three, a 20,000-point scorer, and an All-Star center with three-point shooting ability.

Zhou Yi clearly remembers that in December 2009, the sensational Arenas gun incident occurred, which shocked the league.

This incident triggered a crackdown from the league, and the Wizards were forced to rebuild.

Jamison was taken away by James' Cavaliers under these circumstances, and this trade was also complicated by the fact that Zydrunas Ilgauskas got the player for free.

After being bought out by the Wizards, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, the main player in the trade, returned to the Cavaliers.

In this trade dubbed "cheating," the Cavaliers acquired Jamison for nothing, giving up only a future first-round draft pick.

As Zhou Yi picked up his coffee, a smile crept across his face.

The Clippers can also provide the expiring contracts the Wizards need through Camby.

If handled properly, Zhou Yi is confident he can help the Clippers pull off a similar scheme with minimal investment.

It's just that LeBron James might have to suffer a bit while playing with Shaq, as he won't be able to wait for his three-point shooter.
