After changing careers, I became the number one player in basketball

Pat Riley, the most unique head coach in the 1990s.

After retiring as a player, he originally wanted to get a job as a broadcaster with the Lakers, but in the end he ended up on the coaching staff by accident.

At that time, he never imagined that he would leave such a bright mark in the history of the Lakers basketball team.

Although Riley's team won four championships and created the Lakers' "showtime" glory in the 1980s.

But in the end, he left Los Angeles, a place of right and wrong.

Everyone knows the superficial reason, which is that James Worthy really couldn't stand Riley's perverted devil training, so he complained to the logo man, hoping that he could fire Riley.

Magic and Worthy thought, we have already worked so hard and diligently in practicing ball control and breaking the ball.

Riley is still going to torture us, as individuals?

Riley didn't want to get into trouble with the team or get fired. So he took the initiative to resign and left in a more dignified way.

Rumor has it that after Riley left, all the Lakers players cheered and celebrated because they finally escaped from Riley's inhuman abuse.

However, the dissatisfaction among players caused by devilish training is only superficial.

The real reason is that Lakers owner Jerry Buss also began to be wary of this guy with slicked-back hair who looked like the godfather of the basketball court.

He could see that Riley was by no means the kind of person who just wanted to be a good head coach.

Riley's ambition is not just a ring, which is the biggest difference between him and other coaches.

What Riley wants is complete control, absolute power.

He wants to personally create a team of his own, then fight for the championship and form a dynasty.

What he wants to be is not just a head coach, but a man behind the scenes in basketball!

If I have to say it, Riley probably wants to be someone like the Red Lord.

This is why Riley would rather give up big cities like Los Angeles and New York and go to Miami in the future.

Because before Riley left, Miami was nothing more than a basketball desert.

Only in that place can he get the greatest rights and freedom as he wishes.

As for such an ambitious person, Old Buss will never allow him to continue to stay in the team.

Because in his eyes, the Lakers can only be the Buss family's Lakers.

Bass would never let a power-hungry person like Riley stay.

Not only Riley, but also future logo men, Zen Masters, etc. all left the Lakers in this way.

In order to balance the strength of the various factions in the team and consolidate the rule of the Bass family, Bass will not hesitate to cut through the mess quickly, even if this person has worked hard and achieved great results.

So, does Riley have any grudge against the Lakers?

There must be some.

After all, strictly speaking, he is a victim of the power struggle within the Lakers team.

Riley himself is not a low-key person. He appears on the covers of fashion magazines and talks freely in front of the media with his gorgeous slicked back hair.

Therefore, he is very willing to lead his Knicks and beat the Lakers to a pulp in a nationally broadcast game.

Then tell the Lakers, tell Buss: You guys need me so much!

The media also knew the story between Riley and the Lakers, and this was the first time Riley led his team to meet the Lakers after leaving the Lakers.

Therefore, during this period, more and more media came to interview Riley.

Riley, who loves the media, never misses any opportunity to express his thoughts in front of the media:

"What do you think of this Lakers team? It's great, they made the right decision and got a key player in Shai.

This Lakers team does have some shadows of performance moments.

Shea is also a great young player, and I'm surprised he didn't become the No. 1 pick in this year's draft."

Aunt: Are you polite?

Riley first praised the Lakers and Shay, but everyone knew that Riley was not here to praise his opponents.

Sure enough, the reversal came:

"But the Knicks' defense will confuse the Lakers, it will confuse Shai.

Shea will hit the rookie wall in New York and get a bloody head."

When he said these words, the smile on Riley's face disappeared, and his expression became cold and scary.

At this moment, he looks exactly like Al Pacino in the Godfather movie.

Behind his cold expression, there was murderous intent.

He never ends up personally involved, but he can preside over bloody tragedies one after another.

Riley's words made the front page headlines, and he was determined to push Shai into the rookie wall, becoming the hottest topic in basketball circles in recent days.

People believe he can actually do it.

After all, under Riley's leadership, the Knicks have a pretty good record this season.

They are basically stable in the top four in the Eastern Conference and have never fallen down.

You know, the Knicks barely made the playoffs last season with a similar lineup.

He and his Knicks are really capable of beating Shay to a bloody head!

This trip to New York will definitely not be easy for Shay.

New York, the last time Shay was here, he had a rough time in Rucker Park and gained the reputation of Shai Emperor.

And finally became the strongest No. 3 pick in 91 here, and the de facto No. 1 pick.

Aunt:......

At this time, when Shay, who had already made a name for himself, came to New York again, he immediately received a call from a big shot.

"Xie Yi, let's go out and have fun tonight. I'll organize a strip dancer party, so we senior brothers can have a good time together!"

Captain Orangutan was beaming on the phone, extremely excited.

Shay never expected that after he came to New York again, someone would immediately ask him to hold a bank party!

What kind of friends do I have?

I, Xie, am full of righteousness and awe-inspiring righteousness. I can't be more righteous.

As a result, you asked me to attend such a messy party?

What time is it?

Where!?

That’s it!

Well, Shay does want to go, but can't.

Because today, Shay and Connery were filming a Coca-Cola TV commercial on the Manhattan Bridge.

More than a month after this advertising plan was proposed, it is finally about to be put into practice.

Shay can't take them to a bank party after filming the commercial.

Shay could only tearfully decline the kindness of the orangutan captain, and agreed to go to Atlanta together during the offseason!

"What's the point of that actress? You haven't even been to her bedside yet."

"What bedside? It was a pure friendship between me and her!"

"Ugh! You just haven't eaten yet, so that's why you said that. Forget it, since it's inconvenient, let's do it next time.

By the way, silverware is silverware, but on the basketball court, I won't let you off lightly.

See you on the field, Shay."

After Gorilla hung up the phone, Shay let out a long sigh.

Captain Orangutan was not joking when he said he would show no mercy.

On the contrary, the gorilla captain will be more energetic when he beats his own juniors.

This is his way of showing respect.

In the original history, Ewing and Mourning fought like enemies on the court, eager to elbow each other to death.

But after Mourning's accident, Ewing was the first to stand up and express his willingness to donate a kidney to Mourning if needed.

This is Ewing, who makes a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and is especially strict with his juniors.

Shay felt Captain Orangutan's enthusiasm, but it was a pity that he couldn't feel the enthusiasm of New York's local roast chicken.

After arriving at the hotel, Shay rushed to the filming location without stopping.

When he arrived on the Manhattan Bridge, he found that many onlookers had gathered around him.

Seeing Shay get out of the car, the flashlights in the audience lit up even more.

In the crowd, Shay heard someone shouting:

"Shay, you did a great job killing Malone!"

"You are the hero of the entire alliance!"

Shay:…

I didn’t expect that I, Marshal Ma, would be so annoying in the east.

How did you manage to offend the people of the whole country without even winning a single championship?

Shay trotted into the shooting scene. Connery, who was originally leaning on the stone pillar in the middle of the bridge, slowly raised his head after seeing Shay, his eyes filled with light.

"Shay!" She threw herself into Shay's arms and hugged him.

Today, Connery still only wore a white vest and ordinary jeans under her coat. Because this advertisement requires her to have a girl-next-door look, the more ordinary the clothes, the better.

And when she and Xie hugged each other like this, Xie, who was tall, could see through her strength at a glance.

The strength is quite abundant!

"Are you okay? That guy named Carl didn't hurt you, did he?" Connelly stared at Shay, his eyes full of worry.

"Didn't everyone say it's okay on the phone? Don't worry~"

Seeing Connery and Shay hugging each other, the advertising director on the side coughed:

"Ahem, you two, let's start shooting first?"

Connery quickly let go of Shay and smiled sheepishly.

I haven’t seen him for a long time and I missed him so much that I couldn’t control my behavior.

This commercial is similar to the last one, with Shay and Connery continuing to play lovers.

And it ends with a fake kiss at the end.

The last shot of the two of them will be on the edge of the Manhattan Bridge, with two straws stuck in and drinking a bottle of Coke.

Then they drank and kissed.

However, when the kissing scene is shown, the camera will blur and zoom out to a panoramic view of the Manhattan Bridge, and then the Coca-Cola logo will appear.

Of course, the director also said that it would be best to have a real kiss.

But this still depends on the wishes of both of you.

In this way, after shooting several clips, the shooting finally came to the last shot.

Just now, being held by Shay's hand and playing, chasing and running on the Manhattan Bridge had already made Connery's face flush.

The director has been praising Connery today for being in good condition and getting into the role very quickly.

The sweet and happy smile of a young couple in love was perfectly played by Connery, who has a very girly personality.

But Connery is not acting, she really enjoys this feeling of dating Shay.

only......

She didn't know what Shay was thinking.

"You two take a break first, we will start the last shot right away!"

The director indicated that Shay and Connery could relax first and then prepare with the filming crew for the next shot.

Shay exhaled. Although everything went well, the filming had already been going on for almost an hour and a half.

Still a little tired.

Shay lowered his head, only to find that Connery was still holding his hand and staring at him with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just...very happy.

What about you? How do you feel?"

"It's good. With an excellent actor like you leading me, I can always get through it easily."

Shay said, getting a coat from the crew and putting it on Connery.

It's winter in New York right now.

Connery happily crawled into Shay's warm arms like a little wild cat, and his hands still did not let go of Shay's hand:

"What? I'm not asking you about how it felt while shooting. I'm asking you...how did you feel just now?"

"Weren't we just filming?"

"What if it's all true? Are you willing to date me like this?"

After Connery said this, he was shocked.

She didn't know why she was so bold all of a sudden!

Some words will just blurt out when the atmosphere is right.

In the cold wind, I just had a sweet date and then snuggled into Shay's arms...

The atmosphere created by all this allowed Connery to say things she usually didn't dare to say, and it made her take that step.

Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, and his heart sped up twice.

"Well...it would be nice if it was true."

"Really?" Connelly looked at Shay happily and couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the director interrupted the two of them again:

"You two, you can start the final shooting.

Let’s review the last shot.

Two people hold a bottle of Coke with both hands at the same time, and then drink it at the same time with two straws facing each other.

Finally, let go of the straw and kiss.

Of course, you don’t need to actually kiss. You two have experience with this. Do you have any questions?"

Connery temporarily let go of Shay and shook his head at the director: "No problem."

Shay also nodded and said it was okay to start filming.

After the shooting started, it was just as the director asked.

Shay and Connery faced each other, holding a bottle of Coke, and then sucked it at the same time.

The distance between the two people was very close at this time. Shay stared into Connery's eyes and could clearly see the smile in her eyes.

Under the direction of the director, the two released the straws and then got together.

Shay took the initiative to lower his head after the last experience, and Connery also joined in.

The shooting is over.

She thought the filming would be over, but Shay didn't expect that Connery actually closed his eyes affectionately, and then put his mouth to his lips!

The filming staff on the scene were a little surprised, but the director signaled to continue filming.

This is much better than a fake kiss!

Shay held Connery's waist with one hand and held the railing beside him tightly with the other.

He could taste the faint smell of cola on Connery's lips, feel her temperature, and smell the fragrance of her hair.

Connery kissed Shay affectionately, and after about six or seven seconds, he finally let go, then pursed his lips and looked at Shay with a smile:

"Then we agreed, let's have a real date next time."

Shay's mind went blank and he just nodded mechanically.

At that moment, warm applause burst out from all around:

"Okay, great performance!"

"They look like a real young couple!"

"The way Shay looked so nervous and overwhelmed just now was so real."

"He really has a talent for acting."

Amid people's cheers and applause, Connery put on his coat with a red face and jumped into the car temporarily.

Only Shay, who had come to his senses, was left alone, standing blankly on the Manhattan Bridge, looking at the night view of New York below.

It seems that you are... single?

At the same time, Ewing, who was admiring the stripper Shimono alone, sighed, Shay really missed a good show.

Riley, who was already ready to take a rest, drew a red cross on Shay's photo. Tomorrow, he would not let New York fans miss a good show.

As for Shay, he just kicked off a great show!

New York is indeed a great place to put on wonderful shows.

Shay really hit a wall in New York and hit a wall of love.

The last barrier between the two was shattered.

And tomorrow night, God knows whether Shay will break into pieces the wall Riley prepared for him...
