Chapter 49 Conversation (third update)

No businessman will waste a lot of energy on small interests, and the same is true for NBA player transactions.Regarding the transactions of big-name players, it often takes a team several months from layout to actual operation.

Negotiations, negotiations, repeated negotiations, this is a time-consuming and protracted thing. The operators responsible for the Celtics player transactions this season are going through such hardships, but the good news is that they got what they wanted. Just waiting for the start of the NBA draft and the opening of the trading day.

Angie put down the phone and waved his fist as if relieved.

"Paul, did you have a good vacation?"

Paul, Paul Pierce, the Celtics' court leader, Ainge called him as soon as the negotiations were completed.

"He's too long, sir. How's the plan going?"

"Very well, plan A has been completed, it's time to start the action of plan B."

"I understand sir, I will contact Kevin and try my best to convince him and impress him."

Pierce knew it was time for him to make a difference, and he had been looking forward to this moment.As the leader of a wealthy team, he has an enviable exposure rate, but when this giant has declined, all of this will become pressure.

Pressure has long been a big part of Pierce's basketball, and "it's time to change that," he said to himself.

"Okay, Paul, I'm waiting for your good news."

To trade a basketball superstar, in addition to the formal operating procedures, it also requires a lot of tricks, such as the friendship between players.This seemingly abstract thing is often more important than real salary, because superstars are generally not short of money, and money is no longer the first element of choice for these people.

The phone call between the two ended quickly, and Anji didn't tell Pierce about Shi Lei until the phone was hung up. At this moment, the most important thing is the current deal, and everything else must make way for it, including the future.

"I don't know what's going on with our future?"

Anji put down the documents in his hand and thought silently.This information is Shi Lei's recent performance and the data of various tests. Every other week, an almost identical information will be placed on Anji's desk, which has become the most important pastime in Anji's spare time.

"Maybe I'll go to the stadium instead."

Thinking about it, Anji thought for a while, then slowly stood up and walked out.

Although An Ji seldom went to the team's training hall because of his job, but he was familiar with everything here, and soon he walked to Shi Lei's training place.

The lunch time has passed, but the working time has not yet started, and the entire arena is extraordinarily quiet.

Shi Lei is doing basic dribbling on the spot. His breakthrough training has encountered trouble recently. He is not very good at dribbling, and he can't always achieve a good fit between the person and the ball when he breaks through. This makes his The speed is greatly reduced.

"Your dribbling is too bad, my eight-year-old daughter is not so bad." This is the advice given by Roy Rogers, who is in charge of training him, in a taunt. It is not pleasant, but pertinent, which makes Shi Lei understand the problem Where is it.

Shi Lei has been doing this exercise for a while, but his progress has been slow. For this reason, Shi Lei bought a pair of gloves. In his memory, it seems that Gary Payton got his nickname because of this practice.

Of course, Shi Lei would only practice like this when he was alone, he didn't want to hear Rogers' ridicule.

From a distance, Shi Lei noticed An Ji's appearance, although he didn't know who this person was.

"Good morning sir."

When the visitor was still some distance away from him, Shi Lei greeted him loudly, but he didn't stop his movements.

Shi Lei, who is young but has lost his young heart, already knows the benefits of respecting others, at least there is no harm.

"Hello, lad. Why don't you take a break, you know it's break time!"

Shi Lei faced this white man who suddenly appeared with a smile, and he had never seen it before, but secretly observed carefully.

"Not strong but not thin, well-dressed, his eyes are not evasive, and his expression is calm. He should not be an intruder, but an internal staff member, most likely an executive." This is what Shi Lei gave to this person. people's conclusions.He is not a fan of detective novels, nor does he like to spy on others, but the United States is too chaotic, and he has to be careful.

"I've rested, and it's been a good diversion. How about you, sir? Why did you come here instead of resting?"

Shi Lei glanced at the slapping basketball in his hand and said.

"Yeah, you're right, it's a good way to pass the time. I'm doing it too, just for a walk. Are you practicing dribbling?"

"Yeah, my dribble sucks."

"It's going to get better, but it's not a good way."

Shi Lei gave the old white man a questioning look.

"You try to run, you go with the ball."

"But the ball will be lost." Shi Lei said awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter, just pick it up. It will be harder at first, but it is more efficient than you. You want to improve your dribbling as soon as possible, don't you? Also, throw away the glove, now you don't Need this stuff."

"Are you a basketball coach?"

Shi Lei took off his gloves, but instead of following the old man's instructions to dribble, he asked a question.

"No, but I used to be a basketball player and a point guard."

"The Celtics?"

Angie shrugged noncommittally.

"Okay." After saying this, Shi Lei concentrated on dealing with the basketball in his hand, and slowly ran with the ball.

"Quicker."

"Lateral movement."

"Vertical movement."

"Change hands under the crotch."

Every once in a while, An Ji would remind Shi Lei to change his movements, and Shi Lei followed suit one by one.But it's not smooth, because the ball keeps getting out of Shi Lei's control.

"You don't look professionally trained?"

After Shi Lei stopped, An Ji asked.

"Yes, my major is a manufacturing worker."

Shi Lei started to dribble forward again, but because of his talking, the speed was much slower this time.

"Haha, it's a good career change. Why did you choose to play professional basketball? Is it because you believe in your talent? I've seen the video you posted on the team's website, and no one has ever sold themselves like this."

"Can you believe me when I say it's desperation, sir? No one's going to give me a chance, and I'm about to work, but I don't want to just give up, and that's how it happened. Really, at the time I thought I'm mad."
