Chapter 276 The Temptation of the Dynasty

Because of these things, the entire Heat team is particularly proud, and the atmosphere within the team is exceptionally good.

However, during the training in the morning, Li Lei noticed that Pat Riley was full of displeasure.

He was picky and scolded several rookies.

The Heat players looked at it inexplicably, with a puzzled look on their faces.

Li Lei took the opportunity to ask Spoelstra: "Eric, coach, what's wrong with him? Is his family sick?"

Spoelstra shook his head: "The coach's family is all healthy. I am also very puzzled, I don't know what's wrong."

After returning home at night, Li Lei told Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Zhu Fangyu about the incident.

These three guys have been staying at Li Lei's new home recently.

While watching the game, while waiting for the teams' trial training.

But these three guys are even more confused.

On the contrary, Yao Ming thought for a while, then murmured: "Recently, all the media, fans, celebrities, and coaches are praising you... Logically speaking, facing this trend, Riley should be happy. But instead... I have a vague feeling that his attitude may have something to do with the recent trend."

"Or, you can ask Bill (Duffy), that guy has been in this circle for a long time after all."

Li Lei actually felt the same way as Yao Ming, so he called Duffy directly.

On the other end of the phone, Duffy was silent for a while after listening to Li Lei's words, and suddenly asked Li Lei to tell all the recent details about the Heat.

Li Lei spoke eloquently.

On the other end of the phone, Duffy fell into a longer silence.

Just when Li Lei couldn't help asking, Duffy's voice sounded again: "Stone, I'm learning Chinese recently. There is a word in your hometown called flattery. There is also an old saying that the higher you climb, the harder you fall." The worse. Do you understand what this means?"

Li Lei: "..."

Li Lei's pupils suddenly dilated.

"You mean, these guys deliberately make us proud, and proud soldiers are bound to lose, so that we may lose the final conference finals and finals?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Duffy said.

"Of course, that's not all!"

"It's just one season, it's not worth so many people joining forces. They have a deeper purpose."

"Stone, I think we need to talk face to face. My previous judgment may have gone wrong. Wait for me! I'm going to the airport now!"

beep!beep!beep!
Before Li Lei could speak, Duffy had already hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, the four of Li Lei looked at each other.

Yi Jianlian grumbled: "Mr. Bill is not such a rushing guy."

Because of the relationship between Yao Ming and Li Lei, Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu are also planning to sign a contract with Bill Duffy. They have already had contact with each other in private, so they have a little understanding.

Zhu Fangyu nodded, agreeing with Yi Jianlian.

Yao Ming said conclusively: "That can only mean that this matter is urgent or very important. Bill is not far from here, and he will arrive soon. Let's pick him up at the airport first."

Several people went to the garage to pick up the car.

This car was also customized by the sponsor. After all, Zhu Fangyu, the "shortest" among the four, is also 201cm. An ordinary car really can't fit the four of them.

At the airport, while the four of them were waiting for the plane, they were still discussing.

But the four of them had little experience, so they really couldn't figure out why Bill Duffy was in a hurry.

What exactly is Duffy’s “deeper purpose”?

This can only be explained by Duffy himself.

For several hours, the four of them remained uneasy.

It wasn't until seeing Duffy coming out that he felt relieved.

Li Lei noticed: Duffy didn't bring anything, he was alone, without a suitcase or briefcase, it seemed that he was really in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Li Lei drove faster on the return trip.

"Stone, slow down and be safe!"

Duffy reminded repeatedly.

Li Lei then slowed down.

When they finally got home, Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu immediately took on the responsibilities of little brothers, went to make coffee, and sat aside, obediently listening to the lecture.

Yao Ming also stood aside, obviously wanting to hear.

Duffy glanced around, looked at the four people, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, don't worry, I'll start talking now."

"As I said before, my judgment may have gone wrong."

"It was the judgment last summer, Stone, to be exact, the one that Riley traded you."

"But, maybe now, Riley won't trade you."

Li Lei: "..."

After pondering for a while, Li Lei nodded, it was indeed so.

Yao Ming also nodded.

Only Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu didn't understand.

Duffy explained: "We all know Riley's character. He doesn't throw a hawk when he sees a rabbit. There is no great benefit, and he will never make a deal. He will not make a loss-making transaction. So based on this, I judge that he will trade you, and then make a trade. Signed Wade this season."

After all, if Li Lei is not traded, he will have to sign Li Lei this season. The Heat will have no salary space to sign Wade next season, so they can only let Wade go for nothing.

As for your saying to send O'Neal away and sign Wade.

That is impossible!

With an annual salary of 2000 million US dollars, will anyone want O'Neal, whose status has declined sharply?
Only a fool would want it.

But there are such fools in history, the Suns and Cavaliers have been.

But it is different now.

Historically, the Heat have only one Wade, so what if they match him with Marion?
But now, the Heat have Li Lei + Wade, and with Marion, they are the Big Three.

Which team would?

Why, after being dominated by the Heat for two seasons, you want to try the third?

Even if a team is willing, will the league agree?

I can guarantee that whoever dares to have this idea, David Stern will definitely strangle him to death!
Because of these, Bill Duffy made a judgment last summer that the Heat will trade Li Lei this season.

But now, Duffy felt that his judgment was wrong.

why?
Because of the dynasty!
The Heat won the championship this season and only won two consecutive championships. Counting the next season, three consecutive championships, that is the real dynasty.

Said to be able to resist the temptation of the dynasty?
Pat Riley's life is brilliant. He has won championships in his coaching career, player career, and manager career, but he has not tasted the dynasty yet.

For the sake of the dynasty, what is it to let Wade go for nothing?
Did you see the air conversation between Jordan and O'Neal?
"Fatty man, talk to me after you get the second dynasty!"

Super giant's goal is the championship.

But the standard of governing coalition is dynasty.

You can't even do a dynasty, and you don't deserve to be compared with Jordan and O'Neal.

Jordan's two dynasties are just like O'Neal's.

Dissatisfied?Then you have another one!

On this point, Bill Duffy suddenly realized when he saw the interaction between Jordan and O'Neal recently.
