Center first

Chapter 411
Pat Riley's action of robbing Ben Wallace halfway did not attract the attention of many people in this league, of course, except for Joe Dumars, because this guy tried to get close to the big team after getting Pat Riley. When he got the news from Ben, he already keenly knew what this old fox was going to do, but when he drove to the big Ben's house, all he got was an apology, because Ben Wallace's agent had already agreed on the annual salary and An agreement was reached with Miami's big steward on some details, and the rest of Joe Dumars' expression could only be helpless.

For this fast-moving old fox, Joe Dumas had no choice but to curse the other party in his heart. He could only blame God for not letting Ben receive that damned phone call. He also lamented that the old fox was sensitive. Sense of smell, he will always smell a deal that is beneficial to him at some critical moments. For example, this guy's movements are extremely fast now. Damn, he doesn't look like an old man in his decades.

However, Pat Riley has already acted preemptively, and Joe Dumars can only talk about some innocuous topics with this guy to ease the embarrassment of each other. It seems very sad, after all, this guy is about to retire, and no one can predict how well he can perform on the field. Originally, Daben was just a backup for him as a family card, Joe Dumars In the irreversible situation, I still wish the big man who is about to go to Miami good luck, after all, they have worked together.

After the Miami Heat lost the old Horry, they ushered in an NBA veteran. This exchange of blood did not arouse too many responses from opponents, especially the people of Cleveland did not have any reaction to Ben Wallace joining their arch-enemy. Look, they have even almost forgotten this guy who has been in the Cavaliers for two years, because they now have the giant Shaquille O'Neal at the basket, who still has time to think about a crippled Guys, they can't wait for the new season to start, and the "czar" combination has made them look forward to it.

Fans are always forgetful, sometimes a wonderful game can make a newcomer replace the old one, and even make people completely forget a guy who once brought them joy within a few 10 minutes. They don't care what kind of memory time has taken away from their minds, they can only see who is the person in front of them, the past?Then let it go.

For a two-year contract worth less than US$300 million, there are indeed not many people to report, because people at this time have flocked to the transfer market in the Eastern Conference, and the continuous big news here has made this The news of Wallace's transfer to Miami has been gradually forgotten by people. Pat Riley wants to see this kind of forgetting the most. The more people ignore the Miami Heat, the less they will pay attention to the changes in this team. , How about fame?Let’s look at it during the game. How many deals have been lost because of superstitious superstars? You can find out by looking through the history of the NBA. It’s not necessarily possible to win the championship by inviting big-name players. Easily broken.

But that's only the fact that Pat Riley, an old NBA guy, understands, not what the fans and management understand. What the fans need to see is the exciting game, and what the management needs is the result of the game , When all this becomes far away from them, signing big-name stars is the best solution, especially for a team like Cleveland that desperately needs results to prove itself.

In order to prove his dominance over the future of the NBA, LeBron James put great pressure on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Seeing hope, maybe when he meets Lin Yi again, he won't be forced to give up the breakthrough because of such a big man standing under the basket.

What kind of changes the star will bring to his team is not a question that the little emperor needs to consider. He only needs to play according to his own rhythm, and then level any opponent who can stop him from winning the championship. It is all the problems that the little emperor has to face now. He will not care who the management will sign, as long as that person can help him win the championship, it doesn't matter who he is, whether it is O'Neal or YAO, he can even It is Duncan, what he wants now is a final result, not the tedious process.

The pressure he faces may be beyond anyone's imagination. There are not only his own desire for victory, but also too many profit factors hidden behind this supreme honor. Those huge sponsorship and endorsement contracts are destined not to be given forever A good player, what these merchants need is a superstar. Apart from popularity, competitive performance is the most convincing truth, and what the little emperor lacks now is this hardware. Before he got the championship ring, he even There is no need to mention any rhetoric about catching up with Kobe, because he does not have that qualification.

Look at what the business groups around the little emperor did in this impetuous summer. When the little emperor was dunked by a boy in his training camp with both hands, what he did was not to fight back in the same way. It was the guys around him who confiscated the video materials taken by the two reporters. No one exaggerated and exaggerated such things, but such things also showed how fragile and sensitive the little emperor's psychology is now. , His position has determined that he cannot accept a normal failure, and he can only survive if he keeps winning.

In this league, the Cleveland Cavaliers are not the only ones who hold on to the star strategy. Before the dust of O'Neal's transfer to the Cavaliers has settled, the Eastern Conference's transfer battle started again. All eyes of the entire league are focused on the East. At this time, some people have begun to feel that the cruelest battlefield may appear in the East next year, because those guys are crazy.

Following the Cavaliers' internal reinforcements, the Orlando was the second to make a big deal. After weighing the summer, the Magic finally sent Ralph Alston, Courtney Lee and Tony Batty to the Nets. In exchange for Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson, they finally found a guy who can supplement their striker impact. Although the Canadian trapeze has entered the later stages of his career, no one will deny that this guy still has the ability to dominate the game , especially in the season he played with the Nets, that kind of impact on the inside is still strong.

Last season's Eastern Conference Finals suffered a dark loss from the Miamis, and the Magic finally made up their minds to change their current situation of breaking through the shortage of personnel. They even did not hesitate to send Courtney Lee, who performed well last season, to New Jersey. It is to exchange for an inside assaulter like Carter. They have no shortage of three-pointers, but they lack the offensive ability of mobile warfare, especially in the case of Howard. If the existence of this guy is to force them to make The reason for the change, then O'Neill's re-east tour is the last little catalyst.

The existence of Lin Yi has already made Howard feel unprecedented pressure, and now the people of Cleveland have put a huge shark in front of the little monster. With such giants around, the Magic have no longer dared to bet all their treasures on Howard is on his own. After all, this guy lost to Lin Yi in the Eastern Conference Finals, and he didn't have much advantage against O'Neal. This situation forced the Magic to forcibly push forward their trade plan , they even hooked up a small portion of cash, but they were satisfied with getting Carter.

The Magic did not just make such a simple personnel adjustment. After they got Carter, they still failed to use a middle-level contract to keep Turkoglu, the big man who was doing the terminator outside the three-point line Finally decided to leave for money, but the buyer who signed first and then exchanged has not yet been finalized, but this Turk is destined to leave this city that brought him honor, no one knows where his next stop is, No one in Orlando cares about this issue, because this city rarely has nostalgia for a homeless person.

If the Orlando traded for Carter and then had to lose Turkoglu, it was just a seemingly fair and equal deal, then the luck of the Celtics may make many people jealous, because this group of Celtics only With a contract of 1800 million US dollars, a guy who is definitely considered a big fish was bound. When Rivers bulged his belly and told the story to a familiar reporter, his face was full of complacency. The look, as if the Eastern Conference next season is destined to be controlled by the Celtics again, but his complacency is also well-founded.

Because this slick-looking guy lured Rasheed Wallace, who had just left the Pistons, to Boston before everyone else, no one would think it was a loss-making deal, including the Green Big Three. It is definitely a value-for-money deal, especially since they don't have to pay any luxury tax at all. That "roaring god" can definitely make a good supplement for the Celtics who only rely on Garnett alone. Don't forget, that guy also got a championship ring, he is also a tough guy.

When Joe Dumars heard the news, he was going crazy, because these guys seemed to regard the down-and-out Pistons as a free market, and everyone would take away people who belonged to Detroit when they came here , That old fox in Miami is like this, and now these guys from the Celtics are also using this method to break up this precarious team. No wonder when Joe Dumars knew that those guys from Rivers appeared in his When I was on the field, I almost dropped the expensive pen in my hand.

When Pat Riley was in Detroit, the only thing he regretted was that he couldn't handle Wallace smoothly, because when he was careful, several people including Rivers and Garnett had already knocked on Wallace's Home, the Big Three plus the invitation of the best coach in the East, such a grand and sincere lineup made Rasheed Wallace surrender after only ten minutes of resistance, and because of his personal relationship with Garnett, this guy Mentally inclined to join this team that may continue to hit the NBA championship, Pat Riley can only look helplessly at the budget in his hands, what he can do before he gets rid of the burden of Marion It is really very limited. It is a great pity for Pat Riley not to bring the two Wallaces back together. He needs such a fighter, but the annual salary of more than 500 million still makes him He was dying of a headache.

In last year's semi-finals in the Eastern Conference, except for the Miamis who only signed a veteran who was outdated in the eyes of others, the other three teams chose to reinforce the lineup almost at the same time, and two teams signed They are all inside players. Even if the Magic didn't sign inside, their purpose is to use Carter's impact to disrupt the opponent's inside defense and create better opportunities for Howard inside.

The purpose of all potential opponents is self-evident. They have only one goal, and that is the Miami Heat team that owns Lin Yi. They have suffered too many hidden losses from this kid in the past season. If there is any mistake in the new season, they almost subconsciously supplement players at the same time, and these teams have already locked the person to deal with first on Lin Yi. Only by restraining that guy can they restrain Miami. Method, this is almost the consensus of all teams, Lin Yi has already become the common enemy of these people.

"It seems that the little guy on our team has already disrupted the transfer market in the entire Eastern Conference by relying on his performance in one season. Everyone thought that next year would be the time when the big fish would swim out of the water, but now it seems that, This year's free agents are enough to be regarded as some weight, just wait and see, everyone's attention will be drawn to the East next year, and this will be a bloody battlefield." Pat Riley and Si Poelstra said, but there was no panic in the old guy's eyes, he only had a kind of extreme excitement reflected from the nerves, and the old guy also found that the Filipino's eyes were also flickering. The same glow.

From the general manager, the coach to the players in Miami, there is no guy who is not easy to fight, especially when the opponent is stronger, their desire to fight against the opponent is stronger, even if their own strength is already in the middle When absolutely at a disadvantage, the teeth of these guys also look so cold. This is why Pat Riley dared to hand over the team to a rookie, because this team has already put down the will to fight. Buried in the blood, when the whistle sounded, they would only charge desperately, without thinking about retreating.

And Pat Riley also followed this goal to find players belonging to Miami. In the eyes of this old fox, you may not be an absolute superstar, but you must not be a coward. The Miami he wants to create The Dynasty needs a group of hard bones to carry the backbone of the team, instead of relying on just one or two stars to support the scene, he needs his tent to be full of brave fighters.

While the transfer battle in the Eastern Conference is intensifying, the Western Conference appears to be a bit flat. Except for Kobe’s announcement that he will not jump out of the contract, there is no big news from here. Maybe even Nash’s two-year contract extension can be regarded as a helpless selling point. Now, compared to the hot eastern market, this place seems a bit stagnant. No one is making any big moves, and the western powers are waiting quietly.

It's just that the San Antonio Spurs, which have always been calm, took the lead in making their own adjustments. No one would have thought that a stable guy like Popovich would choose to reform at such a moment, and his first cut was directly at the former team. The right man, Bruce Bowen.

The 38-year-old veteran was purged by the Spurs this summer.Eager to lower the average age and make the team more competitive on the road to the championship, the Spurs used him as a bargaining chip in exchange for Richard Jefferson, who was also considered to be the last piece of the puzzle to complete the Spurs' luxury lineup.Bruce Bowen was sent to the Bucks, but 24 hours later the old guy was bought out by the Bucks.

But what is even more amazing is that this veteran who wanted to return to the Spurs to seek a basic salary contract was ruthlessly rejected by Popovich. He didn't even give Bowen any room for maneuver. This time he behaved so ruthlessly, perhaps because the age structure of the Spurs forced him to make adjustments, and an old monster like Bowen was no longer suitable here, but in the next 24 hours, Pat Riley once again let people see what is called a keen sense of smell. This old guy took the initiative to contact the 5-time best defense almost in the first second when Popovich closed the door on Bowen. The old monsters of the lineup.

5 minutes, it took Pat Riley just 5 minutes to convince the old monster of his decision to come to Miami, and it took him less than an hour to get Bowen to sign on to a new contract In other words, he tied up the dirtiest defender in the league at the cost of a basic salary contract. When he finished all this, no one understood what was going on, but Soon these guys became clear about one thing, the Miami Heat in the new season will be the hardest-boned group of desperadoes in the league.

"I'm already kind of looking forward to coming early next season." Pat Riley said to Spoelstra next to him after he settled the deal. The smile on his face was at this moment It seems that it is not only bad, but also reveals this kind of bloodthirsty madness.Spoelstra can guarantee that next season's Miami Heat will become even more terrifying.

The reason is very simple, because this place has almost become a hooligan den, can you find a place more complete with scumbags than here?I guess it is difficult. . .Lord, this place has become a concentration camp for villains. . .But this feeling is really cool. . .

(The NBA regular season is finally over... the cruelest time is coming, let's see, who will be the lucky one who has the last laugh this year...)
