Chapter 134: The Storm is Coming

The press conference was spent almost amid all sorts of positive accusations and subtle sarcasm, when Pat Riley stepped backstage. The smile on his face immediately collapsed, replaced by a deep sense of loss and helplessness.

Hooking his head and walking around for two steps, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Li Guanyu to express his condolences, but he didn't know how to speak.

Ay... Well, I'll be the wicked person that Qianfu refers to this time! As long as LeBron can come, he will scold, and when the team's record improves, I believe that the resentment of the fans will gradually dissipate with the passage of time.

With a long sigh, Pat Riley dialed the guy on the list that said 'number 23'.

"Bought out Lee ......"

Before Pat Riley could finish his sentence, a hearty promise came from the other end: "Okay, I'll be a member of Miami in 2010." ”

"Well, we've been looking forward to it." Pat Riley squeezed out a smile and replied.

"Well, that's it for now, and goodbye."

Hanging up the phone, Pat Riley suddenly kicked the trash can next to him like crazy, and he rarely lost his temper as he usually pays great attention to his image.

"Come on, I can carry any infamy for the sake of the record."

Pat Riley snarled and walked briskly to his general manager's office, where he was going to lay out the perfect grand plan for Miami for years to come. And Li Guanyu on the hospital bed is no longer on the list of plans.

Pat Riley predicted that he would receive criticism, but he didn't expect it to come so violently.

Less than ten minutes after Pat Riley announced that he had bought out Lee's contract, two phone calls from the player reached his office.

"Man, buy me out! I could never convince myself to play for a shameless boss. After Michael Beasley's phone was connected, he dropped such a sonorous and powerful sentence and hung up directly.

When Pat Riley heard this, his face was solemn, and Michael Beasley was still in his plans for the future. Soon, another phone call made his face even more solemn, this call from Dorrell Wright.

"Mr. Pat, I'm sorry I can't play in Miami anymore. Sorry, you can choose to buy out or trade me, thank you. ”

When Dorrell Wright's words entered his ears, Pat Riley's expression was extremely ugly. In his mind, Dorrell Wright has a higher status than Michael Beasley, because if LeBron James joins, the team desperately needs a three-point shooter, and he is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Are you really leaving?" Pat Riley cautiously reconfirmed.

"Yes!" Dorrell Wright affirmed: "I'm scared that I'm going to be like Lee in the future, I want to be in a team with a human touch. ”

"Good!" Pat Riley hesitated, nodded, and made a difficult decision: "You'll find your next home this summer." ”

"Bye-bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Pat Riley leaned back in his chair and stared blankly at the ceiling.

He had been hesitant before the doctor announced the retirement of Li Guanyu's career, and then the doctor announced the retirement of Li Guanyu's career, coupled with the disguised threat of LeBron James, he finally made this seemingly lucrative decision.

But, now, he vaguely feels that he has lost money in this choice. There was always a voice in his heart that reminded him: Li Guanyu is a miracle child, maybe he can create miracles again.

When the god operator was confused and even regretted his decision, a large wave of Miami fans crowded under Pat Riley's office, shouting all kinds of shouts like 'Pat Riley get out' and 'We're going to super-lee'.

Fans want to put pressure on the club in this way, so as to leave the 'waste' Li Guanyu.

But at this time, the Heat club Pat Riley has the power to take charge, what role can their protests play?

On one side, they are protesting and hoping that the club will take back their fate, while on the other side, under the hospital where Li Guanyu is located, a large crowd of fans are also gathered, shouting the names of their heroes, singing praises for their heroes, and praying to God for their heroes.

Hearing the shouts of the fans, after the operation, I heard Pat Riley announce the layoff of his Li Guanyu, showed a bitter smile, and muttered: "I finally didn't fail too much in Miami." ”

Until a month after the All-Star break, Li Guanyu never imagined that one day Miami fans would cheer him on, just as he never thought that Pat Riley would buy out his contract.

And now, both are happening.

There has been a lot of criticism of Pat Riley in Miami, and there is no exception elsewhere. According to an ESPN survey, almost 100 percent of people think Pat Riley has done something disgusting. Didn't think Pat Riley did the right thing, not even Woodson.

"Pat Riley was so eager to buy out Lee? He even pretended to delay for a few days, right? I really can't understand his thinking, anyway, he did something that I couldn't even think of, yes, I can never fire a star who was fighting hard for the team the day before, even if his career might be scrapped. Woodson said in an interview with the media. At the same time, he also told reporters: "As long as Lee recovers well, I will not hesitate to sign him, and then hand over my backcourt to him to sort out." I don't think a torn ligament will affect my career, and as long as he's rehabilitating well, Lee can be back on the court. In fact, he is not a player who eats on his body. ”

Woodson's remarks were immediately echoed by other team managers.

"Come to Phoenix, with the efforts of Phoenix's medical team, Lee will definitely be able to regain his majesty." Gentry said.

"As long as Lee can walk, I'll sign him. As long as he can play twenty minutes a game, I'll have him at the heart of the Warriors' play. Old Nelson is still persistent in Li Guanyu's preference, even if Li Guanyu is still lying on the hospital bed at this time.

"Come to the Knicks! Even if he completely loses his ligament, he's still the perfect replacement for Stephen Nash in my heart. D'Antoni is also full of confidence in Li Guanyu.

"The Lakers need a smart brain, and Lee has that brain. As for ligaments? What is that? who-care?” Phil Jackson also jumped out to express his pursuit of Li Guanyu.

"The Rockets are willing to offer Lee a reasonable salary as long as he wants." The budget-conscious Morey also stepped forward, but everyone would almost ignore him - a reasonable salary, is it a low salary of 400,000? And then grab a handful of Chinese sponsorship fees? Roll your calves!

“………………”

Yes, 60 percent of the league's head coaches have come forward to express interest in Li Guanyu, as if the doctor's career scrapped diagnosis list does not exist. But then again, even if Li Guanyu completely loses his athleticism, he can fully establish himself in the NBA, and if the tactics are in tune, he can even enter the starting lineup.

While managers are frantically shaking the olive branch, criticism of Pat Riley continues to be heard.

"Pat Riley has managed to build himself into a power manager, and I think players who want to go to the Heat in the future will have to weigh up first - even if you can be as good as Super-Lee, you will still be kicked out of the way when you don't have the use value." Bill Simmons is sharp in his column for his satire on Pat Riley.

"I was able to accept Lee leaving Miami, but I couldn't accept him leaving in such a way. Lee's playoff performance has been absolutely epic, and he fully deserves the title of City Hero. However, he, a hero, was swept away in such a lonely way. Although this is a materialistic alliance, do you really want any human touch? Magic Johnson expressed his thoughts on Pat Riley's buyout of Li Guanyu.

"I don't want to comment too much, I just know that Pat Riley did something stupid, and I can't think of anything more stupid." So says Michael Jordan, the god of basketball.

"Pat Riley will regret it, and Super-Lee will definitely return to Miami with his pride. Tell Pat Riley with a bloodbath: Thank you for buying me out, stupid pig! Hardcore fish honey Reggie Miller said.

"Pat didn't do a good job, and I'm very opposed to treating our heroes this way." Heat's meritorious veteran Amozo Monin said.

"I don't want to comment on the past, I'm looking forward to Super-Lee coming to the City of Angels, I admire him, and I'm looking forward to fighting with him." Kobe Bryant expressed his invitation to Li Guanyu in front of the camera.

“………………”

“………………”

Amid the discussion of various retired or active superstars, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James are very calm. Dwyanwade was recovering from an injury at home, and reporters didn't catch him much. LeBron James turned a deaf ear to the news, and only said softly and cleverly in a casual chat with reporters: "From a business point of view, Pat Riley doesn't seem to have done anything wrong, he is even very kind, he paid Li Guanyu the full contract amount, while the average buyout contract is only half the contract amount or even less." ”

From this sentence, it is not difficult to hear the attitude of LeBron James. With such a deep grudge against Li Guanyu, there is no doubt that he is the guy in the NBAL league who wants to see Li Guanyu's career reimbursement.

The basketball circle has been disturbed, and the North American entertainment industry is also in turmoil, and almost all female stars who have had scandals with Li Guanyu have stood up desperately.

"At this point, I can't deceive myself anymore, I love li-guan-yu!" Taylor Swift cried as she looked around at the countless cameras, "Although I know I may not be all he is, I have long regarded him as my all." ”
