The Basketball Court Swordsman

The Miami Heat is definitely one of the busiest teams this summer. Although the team has a top configuration like the Big Three, the problems exposed by the Heat last season are also very obvious.

There is no strong inside line, no solid three-point shooting point...These loopholes are one of the reasons why the Heat were eliminated by the Pacers last season.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, in fact, such results are by no means bad. But for the Miami Heat, as long as they don’t win the championship, it means failure! Therefore, Pat Riley does not want to wait any longer. He needs to use this summer to reinforce the lineup as much as possible and try to pass the Pacers next season!

And next season, the Heat’s opponents are not only the Indiana Pacers. Now the Lakers are eyeing Howard. If the Los Angelesers also form their luxurious lineup, then even if the Heat pass the Pacers level, they are likely to be in the Finals. Zhong and the Lakers met. It doesn't make sense to beat the Pacers but fail to beat the Lakers.

The Heat’s operational mission this summer is a long way to go.

As a result, the Heat signed the high forward Rashard Lewis who had assisted Howard to the Finals at lightning speed. I hope this veteran with experience in the finals can open up space for LeBron in the fourth position.

After that, Pat Riley turned his gaze to Ray Allen, one of the Big Three of the Green Army.

After an unpleasant season, Ray Allen and the Celtics tore their skins are already a well-known "secret." Although Ray Allen's state has declined severely, he is still an important scoring point that can contribute 14 points per game and hit 45.3% from three-pointers! If Ray Allen can join the Heat with his Sonics teammate Lewis, the Heat’s three-point weakness will be solved.

"To keep the price down, we have to keep the price down. What Ray Allen wants now is a ring, so we don't necessarily have to offer a price higher than 12 million in 2 years. Call Jim Tanner and tell him we want to fight Ray. Let’s talk.” Pat Riley directed his assistant to call. Although the team has just finalized the signing of Lewis, Riley knows very well that such a popular player cannot be delayed for a moment.

"Riley, I didn't expect I would receive a call from you this summer. Why? Do you know the role of a good point guard? To be honest, you really need a point guard like Jeremy Lin. You can't always Let LeBron play multiple roles on the basketball court, right?" Tanner and Riley are not strangers, so after getting on the phone, they are straightforward.

Like most other managers, Jim Tanner has more than Ray Allen. Jeremy Lin, who set off "Lin Madness" in the Knicks last season, is also one of his clients. So Tanner thought Riley was calling for Jeremy Lin.

"I didn't call to talk to you about Jeremy Lin, I'm here to ask Price Ray Allen. Find a time and place to talk, you pick it, you can do it anywhere." Pat Riley said Ray Allen regards the Heat as the most important signing this summer, so he is sincere.

"Okay, the day after tomorrow, just talk in Miami." Jim Tanner readily agreed to Riley's invitation.

"The day after tomorrow? Wouldn't you be too anxious? Lei hasn't returned from a trip yet, right?"

"Traveling? If I tell you where Ray Allen is now, you won't be happy, Riley. Ray Allen and I are in Indianapolis, and they offered a price that made Ray very attractive. So, you have to be prepared, Riley." Jim Tanner smiled, used the Pacers to pressure Riley, and took the opportunity to raise the price!

"Indiana...Polis?" Pat Riley couldn't help holding his forehead, and the sly faces of Henson and Bird, the old and the young foxes, immediately appeared in his mind.

If those two guys had already contacted Ray Allen first, then it would be very difficult to sign in this time...

One step late, one step late!

"Ah cut!" Henson walked down the street and sneezed, not knowing which **** was scolding himself behind his back.

"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold last night?" An Jiali, who was holding Henson's arm, asked with concern.

"No... are you tired? I said I came to work. You can accompany your father in Indianapolis. You don't have to run around with me. It's hard work." Henson touched Touched An Jiali's head.

After the negotiations with Ray Allen were over, Henson kept calling Silas to fly to Greece again.

Of course, this time Henson was not watching the most beautiful sunset in the world, but watching a game in the second division of the Greek basketball. Although the new season has not yet started, Henson is already preparing for the 13-year draft. And his target is the "spider monster" called Antetokounmpo.

Originally, Henson didn't want to bring An Jiali together. After all, travel and work are two concepts. Traveling can be played while walking, which is pure enjoyment. But work is running around hard.

Hurry up-watch the game-make a scout report-make an observation plan... these things are boring, boring, and very boring.

But An Jiali insisted on coming with Henson, and Henson had no choice but to take the boss' daughter and embark on the journey again.

Airplanes and trains were rented for another ten minutes before Henson and An Jiali finally got to the home court of Feralas Ridics. Silas had arrived here a day earlier and had bought tickets for the three of them.

It can be seen that even if today is game day, there are not many fans around the arena. After all, this is just a competition in the second division. In essence, you can understand it as a development alliance in Greece.

After entering the gymnasium to take a seat, An Jiali fell asleep leaning on Henson's shoulder just five minutes after the game started.

As a result, the level of Greece's second division is definitely incomparable with the NBA, so the appreciation is not so high. Secondly, this time I came to Greece because of a rush, so the itinerary was indeed a bit hard. An Jiali estimated that she was already too sleepy.

But this also happened to give Henson and Silas room to talk about work.

"As far as I know, he has signed with the Spanish League’s Zaragoza 2002 team. In the new season we will be able to see the performance of this'Mr. Alphabet' in the Spanish League. At that time, we will be able to evaluate more intuitively. Out of his ability." Silas began to introduce Henson to Antetokounmpo.

These few days, Henson and Bird were busy recruiting Ray Allen, and Silas was not idle. His job is to collect all the information about Antetokounmpo.

"This kid came into contact with basketball relatively late. He even played football in 2007. Therefore, although his physical condition is good, his basic skills are not solid enough, and his playing skills are still far from mature. If I want to evaluate it, , He is the kind of player who can be selected, but needs to be polished in the European League for a few years in order to develop. If you are really interested in him, we may not be able to let him land in the NBA in three or four years. And, not necessarily It can be guaranteed."

"Hmm..." Henson nodded while listening to Silas' introduction. "Did you see it? This guy, he is actually a point guard on the court."

"Yes, as far as I can tell, he can play multiple positions."

"Yeah, he is a versatile player, Stephen. He is... how to put it, he is the ultimate basketball player in Pat Riley’s basketball philosophy. Riley believes that the five players on the basketball court in the future will There are five players with a height of about two meters. The division of positions on the field will be completely blurred. All five of them have versatile skills. And this kid is undoubtedly the player who fits this philosophy best. For Antetokounmpo There is no position in basketball. He can do almost everything. From organizing offense to defending inside, he can do it. And he only started playing basketball in 2008, and has now received an offer from a Spanish team, which is enough Explain his talent, Stephen."

Henson smiled, Antetokounmpo's balance ability and top A+ potential can't escape his own eyes! That's right, A+! Another monster with top potential, Henson did not come in vain on this trip!

Because of this, after seeing Antetokounmpo playing for a few minutes, Henson knew him better than Silas.

"what do you mean?"

"I mean, if we draft him next season, he will immediately be able to participate in NBA-level games. For him, the European League stage is too small."

On the court, the lanky No. 4 wiped his sweat. Without knowing it, his life has begun to change.
