"Hey man, why did you call me all of a sudden? Didn't I say that this summer apart from Adidas' commercial activities, I should not be given any other business promotions? ”

"That's right, Woo, Kobe Bryant called me and wanted to invite you to train with him......"

"Huh?"

Ever since he was able to take charge on his own, the lonely Johnson has been thinking about returning to Los Angeles.

For such a "celebrity coffee", if he doesn't attend two or three parties in one night, he feels that his life is meaningless. So after Woody decided to stop all business activities this summer, he immediately flew back to Los Angeles.

So far, I haven't called Woody, but I have texted him for everything.

So at this moment, receiving a call from Johnson, Woody was a little surprised.

What surprised him even more was what this guy said:

Kobe Bryant invited me to train with?

Why?

It was Woody's knee-jerk reaction.

Because the relationship between him and Kobe Bryant is not good, he has had a friendship twice.

They don't even have cell phones.

But he doesn't have anything to guess, with Johnson here, can he still inquire about this matter clearly?

"I heard that Pat Riley also has the idea of getting Shaq O'Neal, and is now in contact with Lakers general manager Kupchak......" Sure enough, Johnson probably guessed Kobe's purpose, "Kupchak should want to try it, can Kobe convince you, so that he can get you at the negotiating table with Shaq O'Neal in exchange!" ”

"What do you mean?" Woody didn't rush to express his opinion, but continued to ask Johnson what he thought about the matter.

Johnson was as dutiful as Yuan Fang and continued to give his opinion: "Man, if you don't have the idea of leaving the Heat, of course you will turn down Kobe's invitation...... After all, the relationship between Shaq and Kobe is really not good, if he really joins the Heat, you can train with Kobe, it's easy to leave a mustard, listen to me, this shark looks tall and big, with a mountain-like figure, but in fact, the heart is really small! ”

Woody nodded, and what Johnson said was exactly what he had in mind.

"Then you can reject him for me......"

Hanging up the phone, Woody thought that was the end of the matter.

But what he didn't expect was that Kobe Bryant was so persevering, Johnson rejected him, he didn't know where to stop Woody's call, and personally called and invited him to train together. Woody got straight to the point: "Man, you should know the current situation, we shouldn't be suitable for training together......"

"Just because of Shaq?"

Woody distinctly heard Kobe Bryant's pouting.

"Man, you really don't have to worry about him, as long as you ask for a trade to come to Los Angeles, do you still have to worry about the relationship with him?"

“……”

Just this sentence, directly left Woody speechless. After a long silence, Woody asked, "Why should I go to Los Angeles?" ”

Kobe Bryant said: "Of course it's to win the championship!" Woody, as long as you come to Los Angeles, I'll teach you to win the championship! You're such a hard-working person, I know that the championship will definitely mean a lot to you! ”

Woody was silenced by Kobe Bryant again.

This guy's personality is so stunned!

Scary!

However, Woody's character naturally couldn't let Kobe Bryant "silence" him, and he immediately released his "big move": "That guy, how many Finals MVPs do you have?" ”

“…… Toot toot! ”

After a brief silence, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.

Kobe Bryant hung up!

win！

Woody, who was speechless, instantly felt that the whole person was much smoother.

Thinking back to the whole thing in his mind, he couldn't help but shake his head:

No, who came up with this idea first?

He was in Miami so well, so why should he go to Los Angeles?

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Shaq O'Neal, the hero of the "three consecutive championships", the Lakers will trade when they say they will trade, so how much credit does he have to make for Woody to spend his "old age" in the Lakers?

For that alone, there's no way Woody is going to the Lakers.

Speaking of the rest, Kobe Bryant wants to be the boss, and he wants to go crazy. And Woody himself is a good boss in Miami, why should he be the "second"?

Don't talk about him, even if Michael Jordan makes this call, he can't go.

Pippen doesn't have a little sigh~

I don't know how this thing happened, I was stunned to spread it, and the next morning, Woody was woken up by his own phone, picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and after a little hesitation, he still answered, and an enthusiastic voice sounded:

"Hey, Woody, are you awake? I'll tell you something, I'm coming to Miami and I'm looking forward to joining forces with you in the new season! ”

It's "Big Shark" Shaq O'Neal!

There was excitement in his tone.

Woody's phrase "that man, how many Finals MVPs are you" made him a "dumb fish".

This kid originally felt comfortable when he looked at it, but now that he had such a quarrel with Kobe, he felt even more cordial.

"Trust me, Woody, with me, you'll be the next Finals MVP!"

Shaq O'Neill's words actually mean two things:

One is that you and Kobe Bryant will definitely not be able to win the championship, so I really know too well;

Another meaning is naturally to express to Woody that he came to the Heat and would definitely not compete with him for the position of "boss......

Shaq O'Neal's first call with Woody ended happily.

However, Woody soon found out that Shaq O'Neal should have called him as soon as the trade was submitted, because he had read the NBA news on the Internet and there was no movement at all.

With a player of Shaq O'Neal's level, that's impossible.

The only explanation is that the deal has just gone through the process and has not yet been officially approved.

Soon, Woody also knew how Shaq O'Neal knew about it.

Johnson sent a message to Woody:

- Kobe Bryant asked me to give you a message, see you in the new season!

This is a grudge against him......

Woody also received a task from the system at this time:

"Hatred from the future first person of the Alliance!"

"Ding, because the host rejected Kobe Bryant's invitation, there was a little bit of unhappiness in the exchange, and now he has become the third player he wants to beat the most, PS: The top two players are Shaq O'Neal and Michael Jordan!"

For the time being, there is so much introduction, and no task has been issued.

Obviously, this is going to be a long-term project......

Woody found out that he was really a "taunt" physique, and July had just begun, which caused new "champion" Howard and Kobe Bryant successively.

However, will this Kobe mix so well in the future?

The first person in the league in the future, it seems that after leaving Shaq O'Neal, he has really become the boss of the team?

Truth be told, Woody didn't feel much nervous after the system gave him a mission about Howard.

Just kidding, just a high school student, Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James have packed up, and now he is still playing in the NBA for an extra year, can he still be afraid of Howard?

But at this moment, Kobe Bryant was targeted, and Woody immediately felt full of pressure.

His sentence "How many Finals MVPs do you have" seems to be quite lethal.

Of course, he also knows that this trash talk must be very lethal, otherwise, he wouldn't have said it!

After thinking about it, he called Johnson: "Man, do you have a good relationship with Charles Barkley?" ”

"Okay...... What's wrong? ”

"Hmm...... I've got ideas for improving my ball-handling singles this summer, and I'd like to learn from him how to play back...... "The only intersection between Woody and Charles Barkley was when Barkley wore his jersey to cheer him on on the sidelines after Barkley's bet with Kenny Smith. Other than that, there is no intersection.

As soon as Johnson heard this: "I thought something was going on! Don't worry, man, it's not a big deal, I think he's going crazy to hear this! ”

As it turns out, Johnson really knows Barkley.

When he heard that Woody wanted to learn back shooting techniques from him, he asked Johnson for Woody's contact number. Then, the first time he saw Kenny Smith, he said, "Huh? How do you know Woody said he was going to learn to beat me in the summer? ”

Kenny Smith: "......"

No, are you alright?

Who asked you!

In the afternoon, as the league officially confirmed the trade between the Heat and the Lakers, the news of Shaq O'Neal's "eastward tour" to Miami also spread completely, and the specific plan was;

The Lakers sent Shaq O'Neal, got Odom, Grant, a '06 first-round pick and Caron Butler from the Heat!

Caron Butler was the chip that Pat Riley added to the second negotiation.

Kupchak, who learned that Kobe Bryant had a breakdown with Woody, didn't hesitate and agreed.

When the news came out that he was trading Shaq O'Neal, at least 6 teams came to him and made different offers, but there are really not many teams that can have more chips than the Heat now, and the Mavericks Cuban said, except for Nowitzki, you can pick and choose anyone else......

But the others, I really don't see it!

Furthermore, when Shaq O'Neal says he wants to go to Miami, the game is over.

At the end of the day, Shaq O'Neal is a completely free agent who only agreed to sign and trade for a little more money a year.

What?

You say he didn't have the idea of leaving some chips for the Lakers?

A little, but certainly not much!

Because......

He won the "three consecutive championships" for the Lakers, but the Lakers refused to give him a pension salary, in this case, Shaq O'Neal still plans for the future of the Lakers?

As far as Kobe's Lakers team is concerned, Shaq O'Neal is eager for the lineup to get better and better.

He's not some kind of boiling sheep!

The deal also directly shocked the entire league

Although the Heat was a rebuilding team last season, they quickly rose to become the "dark horse" of the East, and even reached the final Eastern Conference Finals with this lineup.

Now add Shaq O'Neal......

No matter how you look at it, they are all the favorite seeds for next season's finals!

You know, rookies like Woody and Wade, the first three years of entering the league, it was a big step a year.

The strength of the Heat team in the new season is exciting just thinking about it!

Especially for Miami fans......

They really didn't expect that the biggest "big luck" of the offseason would actually befall them!

Pat Riley is really awesome!

From last year's draft to this year's free agency so far, Pat Riley's satisfaction in the minds of Heat fans is absolutely 100%!

Some people are happy and some are sad!

Heat fans were excited, and when a certain "pride of the sky" who had just finished working out in Akron knew the news, the whole person stayed in place.

No......

What kind of dog luck is this!

There was a reason for the rookie season to give way to fellow teammates.

Now here comes another "triple champion" creator after Michael Jordan......

God, why don't you just give him the championship!

This is still a **!

He......

I'm in a bit of a hurry!

The main thing is that he still feels like he's getting stronger and stronger when he first trains, and he can definitely be more difficult to stop in the new season.

The "light" that was suppressed by Woody in his rookie season is likely to be regained by him in the new season.

No, not a very possibility, but something for sure!

Can ...... now

It's a hammer!

There's Wade on the outside, Shaq O'Neal on the inside, this teammate, give me I won't win?

No!

What about my general manager?

What is my general manager doing?

An irritated LeBron James called the agent team and asked them to find out what Cavaliers management had done this summer!

"It's definitely a really good result, I've always loved the city of Miami, and now the Heat have Woody, what that kid did in his rookie season, we all know very well, and of course, the name that has to be mentioned, Dwyan, I think we're going to get along really well, they're all super rookies that I'm very optimistic about!"

Shaq O'Neal appeared at Pat Riley's press conference for him.

It can be seen that he is indeed in a good mood, with a smile on his face throughout the whole process.

Pat Riley also had a satisfied smile on his face.

Just using Odom plus Grant and Caron Butler to get Shaq O'Neal, it's definitely a make-or-don't lose deal.

In the new season, Woody plus Shaq O'Neal, plus Wade and Gerard Wallace's core lineup, no matter how you look at it, he is extremely satisfied.

Now as long as he finds another No. 1 position with good quality, this lineup can definitely go to wrestle with the Pacers and the Pistons.

In fact, there is already a good No. 1 position in the Heat lineup:

"Street Ball King" Alstom!

It's just his defensive ability, which Pat Riley isn't very happy with.

And, if you can't find it, then it's fine, just continue Wade to play the number one position and let Eddie Jones continue to play the number two position!

All right!

Plainly......

Shaq O'Neill is here, and the quality of the number one position is not a big problem!

The Lakers have given him the right way to use Shaq O'Neal!
