Shaq O'Neal's light was so bright that no one in the whole of Miami cared about the departing Odom and Grant.

Although both of these are the main players that the Heat can make to the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

But compared to the incredibly bright future of the Heat next season, it's nothing to mention.

To put it bluntly, the NBA is a green house.

I have always heard only the newcomers laughing, and the old people crying!

Odom isn't really in the world of surprises, though, and he's excited to be back in Los Angeles.

Miami was a good place, but he was more used to the Los Angeles girl.

Especially this time, he belongs to the "shotgun for gun", from the Clippers to the "Purple and Gold Giants", the number of fans is more, and the quality of his "hey, hey" is naturally higher!

When you think about it this way, there is no harm in it!

Especially......

With Pat Riley in charge, he can't play presumptuously at all.

Leaving the general manager, who is known as a "training maniac", Odom only has a sense of relaxation of "returning the fish to the sea".

This deal, it's really fantastic!

He really didn't feel betrayed at all......

"Dude, I really feel sorry for you!"

These are the words that Odom said before leaving Miami, holding Woody's hand, and his tone was full of regret. It's like Woody, a phenomenal rookie with infinite scenery, in his eyes, it seems that he is suffering every day!

Well, that's how each man has his own way of living.

Anyway, let Odom work as hard as Woody, he would rather not take the path of basketball!

What is basketball?

Basketball is just a tool for him to be smart!

Since talent alone can get tens of millions of contracts in this league, why work hard?

To put it bluntly, players like Woody who do not enter the league purely for basketball are everywhere in the NBA, especially players who are concentrated in more than 2 meters, not to mention, seventy percent of players choose basketball because they have a talent in basketball, which can allow them to earn enough Mane to squander!

That's why so many players in the league quickly fall after getting a big contract......

Odom is one of them.

But his talent is really top-notch, so much so that even if he was arrested for about *, there are still schools willing to offer him a college scholarship...... As a result, he became famous and successfully entered the alliance.

Also, without such talent, how can you be called a "left-handed magician"?

Odom just walked away in style.

Woody went to a party next. - Shaq O'Neill's "Moving Party"

This meeting, compared to the last time, Shaq O'Neal was obviously a little more cordial: "Let's do something big, man!" ”

You can feel that Shaq O'Neill didn't say this casually.

Come to think of it, in the end, he got his wish to get a contract with a maximum salary, but instead of being with the Lakers, he was traded to the Heat.

Counting the past history of the NBA, a "historical superstar" like him who led the team to win the "three consecutive championships" and was still at the peak of his life, was treated like this, and there was no other semicolon.

Treated so humiliatingly, for this guy who has already booked the "President Mountain" in NBA history, how can he not want to slap the "old club" Lakers in the face!

As for the way of slapping the face......

That's a championship, of course!

He chose the Heat team with this in mind.

Woody plus Wade, this is already the team of the Eastern Conference powerhouse.

Plus he......

If you join the Heat in your first season, you can reach the Finals......

Shaq O'Neal's face couldn't hide his excitement.

That was definitely a slap in the face to the Lakers, and of course his former little brother Kobe!

"Kobe Bryant left me nothing, and now I'm kicking his ass hard......"

He had already thought of such a phrase that would definitely be added to his lyrics in the future.

However, he also knew that it would be a very difficult road, so, "Woody, I'll have surgery in the summer, and I hope to train with you after the surgery, and we can improve together!" ”

After winning the "three consecutive championships", Shaq O'Neal actually has no motivation.

In addition, with the increase of his body with age, many problems were gradually exposed, which made him gradually "lie flat".

The surgery he was talking about was surgery on his toes.

And the first serious problem with his toe was in the playoffs in '03, against the Spurs, the Lakers were finally eliminated, and it had a lot to do with the sudden aggravation of his toe injury. It's just that in the summer of '03, he did not choose surgery, but chose conservative treatment.

This is also one of the reasons for the further deterioration of his relationship with Kobe:

Bryant thinks he did this to just have fun in the summer, drag down the whole team, and lay a hidden danger for the team's future.

Such a person, still want to continue to be the boss of the team?

See if I do it or not, you're done!

At this moment, Shaq O'Neal suddenly said this, and Woody could feel the sincerity in his heart at once!

Shaq O'Neill is definitely a strong reinforcement like this......

The matter also reached Pat Riley's ears.

When it came time to bring in Shaq O'Neal, Pat Riley didn't have the slightest concern. Because he knows very well that the Lakers' approach will definitely evoke the self-esteem of Shaq O'Neal as a "superstar".

This pride will reinvigorate him.

However, he thought that he still needed special guidance, but he didn't expect that the flame in Shaq O'Neal's heart burned more violently than he thought, and he didn't need to push it at all.

In this case, the 5-year contract extension with Shaq O'Neal is not a problem at all!

After all, the reinvigorated Shaq O'Neal can definitely play very well in the next two seasons.

That means that even if the Heat team doesn't have the chemistry of the "championship lineup" after that, it won't be too difficult to shoot him!

What is a "god operator"!

Pat Riley gathered up and began looking for the No. 1 spot willing to join the Heat.

After Steve Nash signed with the Suns, the only remaining playmaker in free agency is Brent Barry, who "white people can fly." Known for his passing ability in college, he can play either the number one position or the number two position.

Last season, he averaged 10.8 points, 5.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game, shooting 50.4% from the field!

Just by looking at the data, you can see that it is very functional, and it is very suitable for the "championship puzzle" of the multi-core team of the Heat.

It's just that Pat Riley silently closed the "conversation window" after asking about the price.

The SuperSonics offered him an annual salary of 7 million, a price that Pat Riley could not touch.

Although he ate Woody's "rookie contract" bonus with Wade.

But Shaq O'Neal plus Eddie Jones' contract salary is already more than 30 million.

At this time, the team's annual salary cap is only about 53 million.

In addition, Pat Riley has to leave a considerable amount of money so that next year he can leave Gerald Wallace, the "King's Jewel".

So let alone an annual salary of 7 million, even if it is 5 million, Pat Riley can't take it.

There was no way, he could only comfort himself: "Dwyann is actually very good at playing the second position, and UCLA's running system can make up for his lack of organization and passing ability anyway!" ”

What's more, in the substitute lineup, there is also the No. 1 position of Alstom that can be used!

Pat Riley hypnotizes others as well as hypnotizes himself.

The dust has settled on the transfer of the "Big Shark", and there are not many "Big Fish" left in the free market, and most of the "Big Fish" prefer to stay in their parent clubs, but they are still pulling contracts, and there are no other surprises.

Like Rashid Wallace, and then Manu Ginobili.

It's only late July this summer, but if nothing else, the free market is no longer too stormy. A lot of the media has turned their attention elsewhere. But at this time, Cleveland's management seemed to think that they had too few shots this summer, and quietly made a "big job":

The reason for the incident was that Boozer, who was one step closer to stats this season, communicated his idea to the general manager of the Cavaliers through his agent team that he wanted to jump out of his current three-year rookie contract and sign a new multi-year contract early.

This request, as long as you have a little brain, will not agree.

After all, the rookie's "child labor contract" is a very important asset for the team's recruitment.

Like Boozer, who holds a contract of one or two million, but can play a performance close to 10 million yuan in annual salary, it is even more "best contract"! It is said that at this time, you should take this "price difference" and sign another strong reinforcement to enrich the lineup!

But the general manager of the Cavaliers seems to want to work with Boozer for a long time to make a better impression. He chose to agree.

In this way, Boozer successfully jumped out of the contract, but the next moment when the general manager of the Cavaliers prepared a new contract for him, he turned around and accepted a 6-year, 68 million contract from Utah!

The Cavaliers were completely dumbfounded.

Because of the restrictions of the Bird clause, they simply couldn't match such a contract, and they could only watch Boozer go to the Jazz.

This is the Cavaliers' first appearance this summer......

The three "big fish" who competed for the free market in front of them disappeared, so they let go of a fierce player in the Cavaliers' lineup.

When LeBron James found out about this, he also had the urge to terminate his contract with the Cavaliers management.

Nima, can you have this kind of thing?

Look at the management of the Heat, and then look at their own "pig teammates......

LeBron James only felt his chest clogged!

The new season hasn't started yet, but he feels like he's gone far.

He was getting more and more depressed, but Woody was getting good news.

When the time came to August, Woody's weight gain was very smooth, and it had come to 103kg, which was 2kg short of the target of 105kg.

In just two months, Woody has gained 5kg of weight, and he will be able to achieve his target by September.

In fact, it was not difficult to gain 6kg in two months, but Grover wanted to see if Woody could adapt to such a tonnage, so he slowed down the weight gain, and specially interrupted the "weight gain plan" to let Woody get used to it in the next few days.

Woody has been battling the big iron pieces all this time.

Weight gain is only the first stage, and muscle gain is the ultimate goal.

But gaining muscle is not such a simple thing, as the weight increases, although Woody has been following Grover's training plan during this time, high-intensity training, his body fat percentage is still around 11.4%.

However, during this period of training, the increase in all aspects of the body is still very significant.

"Physical attributes:

Upper limb strength: 90 (95); Lower limb strength: 90 (97); Core Strength: 91 (97); Coordination: 91 (95); Speed: 92 (93); Traverse Footsteps: 89 (90); Explosiveness: 92 (95); Bounce: 92 (95); Stamina: 91 (95); Injury Resistance: 95 (95); ”

It can be seen from the physical fitness panel that in addition to the horizontal footsteps, all other aspects have reached more than 90 points.

And the lateral footsteps are only a little bit off!

This kind of physical fitness is definitely the top in the league.

Now, all you need to do is lift your weight to 105kg......

In addition to being able to complete the set plan for this summer, several conditions for activating the "Big Cheek" badge have been met!

On August 2, Woody drove himself to the airport to pick him up.

When a middle-aged man with a shiny head and a grinning face with a prominent sausage mouth appeared in his field of vision, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

It was none other than Charles Barkley.

He came to Miami on a business trip to stay here for a while, and it happened that Woody had made an appointment with him to ask him about the technique of "back-to-back singles".

In fact, there are a lot of interior players in the league who are very good at holding the ball.

In particular, the "dream step" of "Big Dream" Olajuwon, which is a magic skill comparable to Michael Jordan's "backward jumper" technique.

But Woody's current height, as well as the template he has now, no matter how you look at it, he thinks it is more appropriate to learn the ball-handling technique from the template himself......

Is there a teacher who can make the most of him to his strengths than Charles Barkley?

Woody hasn't been out for two months, and Charles was somewhat surprised when he saw it this time: "Man, it looks like you've gained a lot of weight?" ”

"Hmm...... It's also for better ball singles! Woody nodded.

"Hmm......" Barkley nodded.

He wasn't surprised that Woody would improve his ball-handling ability this summer.

Not to mention the Eastern Conference Finals, he exposed his shortcomings in this regard.

Even if Woody is for his own development, in the long run, he will have to improve his ability to hold the ball sooner or later.

In the NBA's "supergiants", there are very few "supergiants" who do not have the ability to hold the ball, and if you calculate carefully, there may be only one Carl Malone. And he is also the "supergiant" who conceded the most goals at critical moments.

It can be seen how fatal the lack of ability to hold the ball is!

Barkley is excited to be Woody's "teacher"!
