Chapter 52: Conversation (Part 3)
No businessman would waste big energy on small gains, and the same goes for player trading in the NBA. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info When it comes to trading big-name stars, it often takes months for a team to go from layout to actual operation.
Negotiations, negotiations, back and forth, it's a long-term affair that the operators responsible for trading players for the Celtics this season are going through, but the good news is that they got what they wanted, just waiting for the NBA draft to start and trade day open.
Angie put down the phone and shook her fist in relief.
"Paul, did you have a nice vacation?"
Paul, Paul. Pierce, the Celtics' stadium leader, Angie gave him a call as soon as the negotiations were completed.
"He's too long, sir. How's the plan going? ”
"It's going 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 to convince him and impress him."
Pierce knew it was time for him to make a difference, and he had been looking forward to it. As the leader of a big team, he has an enviable exposure, but when the big club is in decline, all of this becomes pressure.
Pressure, which has been a big part of Pierce's basketball for a long time, "It's time to change that," he said to himself.
"Okay, Paul, I'm waiting for your good news."
Trading a basketball superstar, in addition to the formal operation process, also requires a lot of small tricks, such as friendship between players. This seemingly abstract thing is often more important than the actual salary, because superstars are generally not bad for money, and money is no longer the first factor of choice for these people.
The phone call between the two ended quickly, and until the phone hung up, Angie didn't tell Pierce about Shi Lei, at this time, the most important thing is the current deal, and everything else has to make way for it, including the future.
"I wonder what our future holds?"
Anji put down the information in his hand and thought silently. This information is Shi Lei's recent performance and data from various tests, and every other week, an almost identical information will be placed on Anji's table, which has also become Anji's most important pastime in his spare time.
"Maybe I'll go to the stadium instead."
Thinking about it, Angie thought for a while, slowly stood up and walked outside.
Although Anji rarely goes to the team's training hall because of his position, he is familiar with everything here, and soon, he walked to Shi Lei's training place.
Lunch time has passed, but the work time has not yet begun, and the whole arena seems to be exceptionally quiet.
Shi Lei is doing basic dribbling contact on the spot, his breakthrough training has been in trouble recently, he is not good at dribbling, and he is always unable to achieve a good fit between people and the ball when he breaks through, which greatly reduces his speed.
"Your dribbling sucks, my eight-year-old daughter doesn't suck that much." This is Roy who is in charge of training him. The advice given by Rogers in the taunt was not listening, but it was to the point, which made Shi Lei understand what the problem was.
Shi Lei has been doing this exercise for a while, but the progress is slow, for which Shi Lei bought a pair of gloves, in his memory, like Gary. Peyton's nickname was earned because of this practice.
Of course, Shi Lei would only practice like this when he was alone, and he didn't want to listen to that Rogers' taunt.
From afar, Shi Lei noticed Anji's appearance, although he didn't know who this person was.
"Hello, sir."
When the person who came 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, has long been familiar with the benefits of respecting others, at least there is no harm.
"Hello, lad. Why not take a break and know that it's time to take a break! ”
Shi Lei smiled at this white man who suddenly appeared and had never seen before, but secretly he was observing carefully.
"Not strong but not emaciated, well-dressed, not dodging in his eyes, and with a calm look, he should not be an intruder, but an internal staff member, most likely an executive." This is the conclusion that Shi Lei made in his heart for this person. He's not a lover of detective novels, and he doesn't like to spy on people, it's just that America is too chaotic and he has to be careful.
"I've rested, and it's a good pastime. What about you, sir? Why did you come here instead of resting? ”
Shi Lei glanced at the basketball in his hand and said.
"Yes, you're right, it's a great pastime. I'm also having fun, but it's just a walk. Are you practicing dribbling? ”
"Yes, my dribbling is terrible."
"It's going to be fine, but it's not a good idea."
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 embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter, you can't just pick it up. It's a little harder at first, but it's more efficient than you, and you want to get better on your dribble as quickly as possible, don't you? Also, get rid of the gloves, you don't need them now. ”
"You're a basketball coach?"
Shi Lei took off his gloves, but instead of immediately following the old man's instructions, he asked.
"No, but I used to be a basketball player, and I was a point guard."
"The Celtics?"
Angie shrugged her shoulders noncommittally.
"Okay." After Shi Lei said this, he concentrated on dealing with the basketball in his hand and slowly ran with the ball.
"Hurry up."
"Lateral movement."
"Move vertically."
"Crotch changes hands."
Every once in a while, Anji would remind Shi Lei to change his actions, and Shi Lei did them one by one. However, this is not smooth, because the ball will always be out of Shi Lei's control.
"You don't look professionally trained?"
After Shi Lei stopped, Anji asked.
"Yes, I'm a manufacturing worker by profession."
Shi Lei began to dribble forward again, but because of his speech, the speed was much slower this time.
"Haha, a good career change. Why choose to play professional basketball? Is it because you believe in your talent? I've seen the videos you posted on the team's website, and no one has ever marketed yourself like that. ”
"Do you believe me because I say out of despair, sir? Nobody wants 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, I thought I was crazy at the time. ”
