Center first

Chapter 69 Now, the Future

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, especially in the NBA. In this league, a small move will attract the attention of many people, not to mention the transfer rumors that may happen at any time here involve millions to tens of millions of funds huge transactions.

Three days later, the Miami local newspaper "Florida Sun-Sentinel" directly broke a news about the Heat, and all Miami fans were attracted by the news published on the front page of the basketball edition.

"The Toronto Raptors are officially approaching the Miami Heat, and a multiplayer deal is close."

"The content of the article quoted an insider as saying that the Toronto Raptors officially submitted a trade list to Miami. It is estimated that the players involved in the trade include: Jermaine O'Neal, Sean Marion, Banks, etc. People, this year's No. [-] Xiu Linyi may also be involved in this transaction."

This news not only attracted the attention of many local fans in Miami, but also in the league. Jermaine O'Neal teamed up with Wade, a beautiful match.The temptation of two All-Stars may not be resisted by many people.

The day before the news was published in the newspaper, Lin Yi had already received a call from Rogge, confirming the news, and there was a big shock in his heart. This time, the opponent was far from being defeated on the field. The past made Lin Yi also feel a kind of pressure.

No one in the NBA is not tradeable, including Jordan, including Kobe, including everyone.This is a commercialized society, no one is priceless, not to mention exchanging a long-established All-Star for a first-year rookie.

Lin Yi's excellent performance in the preseason made many Miami fans very happy, because the Heat finally had the possibility of revival after a failed season. Let's see what kind of help this second-best rookie will bring to the Heat.

But when the rumors of the transfer deal were exposed, many people began to weigh the value between the two, an All-Star who averaged 15+10 per game and a first-year rookie who only played a few games. Heavy?Perhaps many people would be willing to choose to believe in a superstar with stable performance, rather than a rookie with an uncertain future.

Not only Lin Yi was greatly shaken by the news, but even many Heat players were considering their position after the deal was concluded.No one thought about whether this deal would be reached, because it was an obvious thing, an All-Star and a rookie, as long as they were not idiots, they would know how to choose.

Is Pat Riley an idiot?Certainly not, otherwise he wouldn't be called a "magic fortune teller".However, he did not directly agree to this seemingly very cost-effective deal. It has been almost a week since he received the deal intention from Toronto, and he is still considering it.

What are you thinking about?Is there a trade-off between a guy who averaged 15 points and 8 rebounds per game for his career and a rookie who doesn't even have stats?
Originally, the Toronto Raptors traded O'Neal + Moon for forward Sean Marion, Banks and Diawara. It is the Heat that makes money. After all, Marion is not an inside player. He cannot rely on his height to support the Heat's inside.

But Riley knows how complicated the reasons behind this are. O'Neal has been suffering from illness since he transferred from the Pacers to Toronto. He is no longer the powerful insider who averaged 20+10 per game in the first season. .

There are still two years left on a contract of hundreds of millions, and the annual salary to be paid to him is as much as 2000 million. This is one of the keys to why Toronto should give up O'Neal.

The Raptors are now dominated by the "Dragon King" Bosh. The young and powerful Bosh will not allow another guy who can threaten his main position inside. The opportunity to reinforce was lost.

There can be no two tigers in one mountain, unless there is a male and a female. Unfortunately, these two guys are normal men, and their attraction to each other is not yet to the point where they can tolerate each other.The young "Dragon King" will not want to have a guy coveting his number one position by his side, and send him away. This is Bosh's signal to the management. If not, then he will choose to be selective before the contract expires. out of the contract.

A 31-year-old former All-Star and a 25-year-old All-Star, the management of Toronto certainly knows how to choose, get rid of this big contract, and build a team of his own to keep Bosh, with a salary of more than 2000 million Space can find two or three capable middle-level players, why not do it.

Lin Yi's performance in the preseason attracted the attention of Jay Triano, the head coach of the Toronto Raptors, a young and energetic potential stock, a suitable backup center candidate, and most importantly, a rookie contract What a bargain.So he adjusted the candidate who requested the trade from Diawara to Lin Yi.Otherwise, including Marion's big contract, the Raptors will not get much benefit.

Pat Riley is handed over by head coach Spoelstra to send a report on the recent game. Lin Yi has become more and more accustomed to his inside role in the Heat, and will step into a new position almost every two or three games. Steps, the performance in both offense and defense is getting better.

That's where Riley's hesitation comes from, a swap?The lineup of O'Neal + Wade has a fatal appeal, but he has to pay a luxury tax of nearly 300 million for this lineup, but if it succeeds, it seems to be very worthwhile.The success of the Celtics' Big Three last season has made people see the power of superstars teaming up.

But whether O'Neal's fragile legs can still support the sky inside the Heat, no one knows.After all, he is 31 years old. There will always be a kind of inertia for a successful guy. No one can guess whether his performance will be as good as before.

If it fails, it will be a fatal blow to the Heat. The constraints of the two big contracts will inevitably make it impossible for them to continue to strengthen their lineup. Wade will definitely selectively jump out of the contract and find another place.

Flash is the cornerstone of this team, and he cannot be lost anyway. This is Riley's bottom line.

With the present on one side and the future on the other, Riley also fell into a deadlock of hesitation. Whether to take a risk or not, the "magic fortune teller" was a little uncertain for the first time.

The choice between potential and strength not only changed Pat Riley's heart, but also caused ups and downs in the thinking of Wade, the main player.

He was the first rookie in the 03 class to win the championship and MVP, but at that time he was still hidden behind the body of the big shark O'Neal, he was too eager to prove his strength, especially after a dismal season , He wants to tell everyone that he is no worse than the "little emperor" who is aloof.

An all-star inside helper is simply his dream match, but the opponent's sluggish performance last season made him doubt whether this transfer will be as beautiful as the outside world imagined.

Lin Yi's performance in the early stage is also a key point that Wade must think of. A guy with great potential, smart enough, and very adaptable, that's why Wade didn't directly ask Riley to trade.

Whether we want the future or the present, everyone is constantly asking themselves in their hearts.

For this kind of thing beyond his control, Lin Yi was a little shocked at the time, but he had already controlled his mood the next day and let it return to a calm state, because Old Chuck had told him that this alliance would happen Many unexpected things, learn to face indifferently to make your life better.

It's the same everywhere, as long as I can play, I will show my level to show you.

Lin first pushed the basketball to the basket gently, a graceful arc cut through the air, rubbing against the net and making a beautiful sound.

With this goal, the remaining depression in Lin Yi's heart seemed to gradually dissipate.

Multiple choice questions linger in many people's minds, but Lin Yi has already got rid of his troubles.

As for the deal?It's going to rain, mother is going to get married, let it be.
