The Whip of the God of Basketball

Pat Riley’s coaching career is quite similar to Fox Leon’s. Both are from the assistant coach to the head coach. The previous coach did a good job. The teams he coached are all historical giants. They are under tremendous pressure, and at the same time they produce very fast results, which shows that their ability to withstand pressure is extraordinary. ≥One novel＜≤≤≤≤≤≤≤≤≤≤≤≤＜﹤≤﹤＜≦

The difference between the two is not only in Riley's player experience, the first season to win the championship or the Lakers have more superstars, the fundamental difference lies in their own coaching career planning. In fact, Leon is walking on a path that looks very similar to Riley, but is actually quite different, but in the end he feels a little bit the same.

This is also the reason why Riley is willing to come to the summer league to meet Leon for a while. From many rumors, Riley keeps hearing about Fox Leon’s name, and even watched Fox Leon during the draft. The promise made before was fulfilled-maybe many people don't remember it, but Riley still remembers it clearly.

And when Fox Leon said the name "Alston" to himself, Riley knew that this was a very threatening guy. Because the signing negotiations between the Heat and Alstom have always been relatively secretive, it is not because Alstom is popular, but Alstom is just a small point guard transformed from a streetball player, and it is not noticeable at all. Riley has a good sense of people, and thinks this guy might be able to show some good, and has the intention to sign him.

However, Riley is still only willing to pay for a one-year contract, and he will not allow any small signings to affect his big moves in the future.

Now the two sides are still in the stage of wrangling, Riley decided to put Alstom aside and let him dry. He was certain that no one would give this streetball player a long contract. His three years in Milwaukee were nothing extraordinary. , There was a lot of improvement in the Raptors last year, but he, a point guard with a lot of flaws, can hardly get a long contract in all aspects, especially his shooting ability.

Riley fancy some of his potential, he likes to squeeze the potential of players, whether it is a superstar or a drinking fountain manager. But he did not expect that Fox-Leon did not know from what kind of channel to learn the news that the Heat were contacting Alstom. If Alstom is a great star, then even if Leon does not investigate, the media will spread the news all over the city. But Alstom is not, and Riley also believes that Leon will not be too busy to investigate the player's condition.

Unless the Celtics also want to contact Alstom directly to sign with him, but according to Riley’s news, so far only the Heat have made an inquiry on Alstom, and there is no second one, let alone. A team wants to give him a long contract.

There is only one explanation left, that is, Fox Leon has a huge message network composed of agents and scouts, and the agents and scouts that make up this network are relatively low-level roles in the entire ecological zone. It is these low-level roles that are able to get closer to the earth, and to discover more detailed and detailed things.

"It seems that Mr. Leon’s news is quite well-informed." Riley replied calmly. Leon’s style of taking the grassroots route and Riley’s style of taking the superstar route and upper-level route. It is obviously very different. But because of this, Riley couldn't help but feel a trace of fear, because he knew that Auerbach used similar methods to control almost half of the league through the draft.

"I'm just looking for some suitable candidates for my team. You know, the scouts in the league at the time, I have some friends, so I can always get some news." Leon spread his hands and then smoked again. A cigar.

Riley hesitated for a while and got up from his seat. He knew that it didn’t make much sense to negotiate terms with someone like Leon. Both of them were too shrewd. As long as the cards were played, the cards would soon be played. Clearly. What's more, this is just a small game that can't be too small. Everyone has so little chips in their hands, it's not interesting to play.

"I heard that Mr. Leon's gambling skills are very high. I hope you can try your luck at a Miami casino one day." After speaking, Riley took out a sticky note from his pocket and tore off a note. I wrote a phone number on it and threw it to Leon and said: "This is Alstom's personal phone number, I don't know if you have it. As for his agent, I think you must have his phone number."

Riley is about to leave, he was a bit flat in this small confrontation, but it turns out that being able to win Haslem is definitely a good choice for the Heat.

At this time, Leon stopped Riley and said, "Mr. Riley, thank you for your kindness... I am not talking about Alstom, Haslem is not bad at all, but we really don’t have his place here. , He is from Miami again, and I think he will be very happy to let him go home. By the way, this is something for you, as a gift in return for asking me to smoke a cigar."

With that said, Leon also took something out of his pocket, and a small round pie box was sent to Riley. This is a jar of Jasper’s premium wax, and Pat Riley is a loyal user and spokesperson of Jasper’s wax. He relies on this reliable wax for his undisturbed oil head for decades. Maintained.

Riley took the box of wax. There was no wave on his face, but a layer of frost condensed in his eyes, but soon he grinned with a bright smile, shook his head helplessly, and put the wax in. He got out of his pocket and left without a sound.

Leon certainly didn't come unprepared, he had covered this jar of wax in his pocket for three days. Knowing that Pat Riley had also come to the summer training camp, he was ready to negotiate terms with the old fox. When Angie signed Strickland some time ago, Leon wanted to help the team. Add a younger point guard.

The Heat’s Eddie House used to be within Leon’s consideration. He also knew that the Heat would not implement team options, but House too overlapped with Arenas in terms of playing style, and House was shorter and defensively worse. , Organizational ability is not strong. After a glance, Leon focused on Alstom, but he soon got news that Alstom was talking to the Heat.

Alstom’s agent is a well-known contract bandit by nBa, the greedy Dan Fagan~www.readwn.com~ Leon knows that if the Celtics participate in the bidding, Fagan will definitely open his mouth. At that time, the Heat and the Celtics smashed each other's contracts, and the Celtics certainly couldn't compete with the Heat, which has a lot of space.

Just in time, Leon discovered that Riley was interesting to Haslem. He also felt that Haslem was indeed a good material, but it was underestimated by many people, so Mr. Jiang waited for Riley for several days with wax in his fishing pocket. , I didn't expect this guy to come to the door with a cigar.

In the end, Leon got Riley's promise that they will withdraw from Alstom's negotiations, and the Celtics will follow up. By then, they will be able to win this young point guard with room for carving at a lower price.

In fact, Riley overlooked one point in the whole process. It was not without reason that Fox-Leon came to Orlando a week earlier. He was not only to avoid media harassment in Boston, but also because Orlando was once the base camp of his scout team. , Here he has the most friends and eyeliners. At the same time, Orlando is very close to Miami. Any news will soon be heard here. Riley thinks he has the upper hand, in fact, it is everywhere, all because the information collection is not careful and complete.

Of course, Leon knows that Pat Riley, the old fox, will not give up. In the days to come, he and his Miami Heat will definitely be a terrible stumbling block. (To be continued.)
