Chapter 357: A Way to Get Zhang Feng
Every NBA player has a role to play in the team, from ordinary players to superstars and even legendary superstars.
The role of ordinary players is to do their own work and complete the tasks assigned by the coach when the stars in the team are at rest, as long as they don't dig too many holes for the stars. And the role of a superstar is to carry the team forward, fight for the team's playoffs, and fight for the championship. As for the legends, their mission is to expand the influence of basketball and promote the NBA to all corners of the world.
The current Zhang Feng is naturally not enough to be called a legendary superstar, and Riley is well-informed, he has been teammates with Wilt Chamberlain, coached James Worthy, and single-handedly created the Heat Big Three. But a character like Riley, facing his own boss, evaluates a player from another team, and there is no need to exaggerate at all, he says that Zhang Feng is a superstar, and that Zhang Feng must be a superstar.
It's just that Alison is more curious about the superleader behind Riley: "Why can't LeBron do it?" ”
Riley shook his head habitually: "Every team in the NBA has a leading player, and some of them are short generals and forcibly become leaders, and such leaders can't play a role in leading the team, such as Booker of the Suns."
"Some people rely on the management to look at them, and they are positioned by the management as the core of the future team, although they are not strong, but they can still unite the team on the surface, such as the Knicks' Porgizzins"
"There are also people who rely on strength to conquer management and teammates, and no one will object to him as the leader of the team, such as Nowitzki of the Mavericks, even though he is old and Cuban spent a lot of money to sign Barnes, but his leadership status has not been affected in the slightest."
"Like LeBron, he leads the team with strength and means, and he doesn't allow others to question his status, let alone his teammates, not even the management, so we can't continue to work together......"
"You just say what's different about Zhang Feng!" Alisson interrupted with a raised hand.
"Zhang Feng is a person who hopes that his teammates will become stronger, he regards winning as the only goal, he doesn't care about the data or anything at all, although many of the team's leading players also declare to him to the outside world, but only he really does so much, even off the field, he also worries about his teammates' things"
"Then why did he break so many records? You contradict yourself," Alisson disagreed.
"That's when the team needed him to break the record, such as the King's first game, the big score behind the Rockets, in order to give the Kings fans more expectations, he scored desperately, and then played the Knicks, the Kings couldn't open the inside, in order to win, he began to fire and score infinitely"
"Okay, since you are so optimistic about him, what is the way we can get Zhang Feng?" Alison was anxious.
"Do everything you can to prevent other stars in the league from going to the Kings to team up with him, and then do what they like, and finally pray to God, pray that Zhang Feng will not be carried away by love" Riley said in a slightly helpless tone.
"I understand most of what you say, but what do you mean?" Alison asked.
"See what he likes, and what else he can't get through his own abilities at the moment"
"He's signed a big contract with Nike, he's engaged to Ranadivie's daughter, he's still the absolute boss of the team, he's doing business with Kobe Bryant off the court, and he's been in contact with Hollywood lately, so I can't imagine what he's missing," Arison shook his head.
"At his point, it certainly can't be measured by money, maybe fame is what he desperately needs" Riley's eyes flashed with a sly glint.
"Fame? He doesn't lack fame, right? In his first year as a rookie, he won the best of the two months. Not surprisingly, this season's MVP is also in his bag, are you thinking about it? Alison's tone was full of suspicion.
"A Chinese, no matter how famous he is in the United States, is an outsider after all, but if he can be as good as another Chinese player, maybe he won't refuse" Riley said playfully.
"Another Chinese player, you're talking about Yao Ming?" Alison guessed.
"Yes, if we promise him that if we sign one or two Chinese players when he joins the Heat, maybe we can impress him, and we can even pull a third party to make a trade, and if he is willing to join the Heat, we can sign more Chinese players," Riley said firmly.
"There are too few Chinese players to play in the NBA, except for Yao Ming, there is only Zhang Feng, although Yi Jianlian has good strength, but it is difficult to adapt to the NBA culture, will it be too cost-effective to sign several NBA players for him?" The corners of Alison's mouth cracked, and it was obvious that it was too painful.
"Honestly, if I were the boss, I could be at the point guard position with just Zhang Feng alone, and it didn't matter if everyone else was on the bench. What's more, he can also make cameo appearances as a shooting guard and small forward. In other words, Zhang Feng alone can withstand 3 people. If you think so, do you think that it is not a loss to sign 2 Chinese players for Zhang Feng? Riley crossed his arms and was confident.
"What if he gets hurt? Wouldn't it just be over the game? Alison still didn't believe it.
"Hurt? The probability of him being injured is even lower than the probability of winning the lottery ticket. You must know that he himself is the one who runs the health club, and he also personally helps Hayward treat his injuries. Besides, with his physical fitness, as long as he doesn't break his hands and feet, the rest of the injuries can be recovered quickly" Riley seemed to be unconcerned about Alison's worries.
"Okay, okay, okay, I can't talk about you, so in your opinion, if he is willing to come, it is most suitable for us to sign those Chinese players? I think Zhou Qi of the Rockets can consider trading, Yi Jianlian can also join the plan, and the small forward who played summer league for the Mavericks last summer can also do" Alison compromised.
"Boss, you still haven't figured out the situation, as long as he is willing to come, we can sign a Chinese primary school student. As long as you are Chinese, as long as you can make Zhang Feng more famous in China," Riley's tone was slightly helpless.
"Okay, I really understand what you mean now, so are we going to go ahead with the Paul-George and Anthony solicitation plan?" Alison changed the subject.
"Of course we have to continue, we can't put our eggs in the same basket, Zhang Feng is our biggest goal, if we can't get it, we still have to move on, because it's very stupid to choke on food"
"Then wait, I'm a patient man," Arisson said with a sense of hope.
"You can't just wait, you also have a mission to complete, we have to act on two fronts"
"What do I do?"
"Stepping up the push for other league bosses to persuade Lanadivi to relocate the Kings, internal and external troubles are the most beneficial for us to start"
