Is it Allen Iverson, who laughs as sweet as toffee and can immediately put the Suns in the championship race?

Or wait a year while training new talents, and wait for Steve Nash, who only says it's too late?

First of all, before making a decision, Wang Shuo had one thing that he and little Colangelo had to solve:

That's ......

What to do with the super bad contract of "Penny" Anfernee Hardaway?

It seems that getting Iverson back and sending Hardaway away are two unrelated issues.

But in reality, the two issues are closely related.

Because previously, the Suns' original plan was to use Stephen Marbury's trade value to find a wronged boss and let them take Hardaway's plate by the way.

In the room, facing Wang Shuo's eyes, in fact, little Colangelo knew it very well in his heart.

I'm afraid that Wang Shuo is thinking the same thing as himself at the moment.

"Change, Brian! When I was coaching in the East, Allen made a big impression on me!

It's really not good, and I will find a way to trade Anfernil in the future. Wang Shuo gritted his teeth and said.

Little Colangelo also gritted his teeth and said: "I think so too, people can't stand up if they are not ruthless, it's really not good, it's a big deal that I will take all the draft picks of the future team as an addition to send away Anferneh!"

I don't believe it, he can stay in Phoenix forever! ”

At this moment, the reason why Wang Shuo was able to make up his mind so quickly was because as a head coach who had just led the team to win two NbA championships in a row, he really couldn't refuse the temptation to lead the Suns to compete for the championship in the new season!

And again......

Is Steve Nash familiar with him Wang Shuo?

No, who is Steve Nash?

Does NbA have this character?

Why doesn't he Wang Shuo know?

Unlike Wang Shuo, the reason why Colangelo Jr. wanted to trade Iverson was because he and his father knew that Wang Shuo was not only talented in coaching, but also a master of marketing publicity.

Yes, Iverson is riddled with negative press at the moment.

But he Wang Shuo is in Washington, and he can re-establish Michael Jordan's image as the "God of Basketball".

Therefore, the Colangelo father and son have every reason to believe that Wang Shuo has the ability to help Iverson get out of his current predicament.

On the night of the 1st, little Colangelo, who coincided with Wang Shuo, came up with the trading plan overnight.

And the next day, as Colangelo Jr. and the 76ers management finalized the final transaction details, NbA's first earthquake this summer officially arrived!

According to the trade agreement, the 76ers will send Allen Iverson and Stephen Marbury from the Suns, plus Dan Longgi and Jack Wascool.

Both the 76ers and Suns were happy with the deal.

Although the Suns suspect Marbury is drunk and unadjustable, in the 02/03 season, Marbury, who played a total of 81 games for the Suns, still averaged 22.4 points, 8.1 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game, which is an out-and-out star guard performance.

And although the 76ers are riddled with negative news about Iverson, it is difficult to domesticate, and the relationship with the gang is ambiguous, but for Wang Shuo, who knows the truth, he thinks that the 76ers have given the Suns a "perfect" offensive carry.

In short, after this deal, both the Suns and the 76ers feel like they have a bright future!

On the day the transaction was completed on the 2nd, Wang Shuo's phone was blown up by reporters.

"Wang, do you think Allen Iverson's gangster background will affect the young players on the Suns?"

"Wang, a lot of people say that Allen Iverson has domestic violence tendencies, and the local women's association in Phoenix is likely to launch a boycott of the Suns for the new season, what do you think about this?"

"Wang, as a coach who is strict with team training, would you allow Allen Iverson to miss team training sessions?"

In response to the questions raised by this group of reporters on the phone, Wang Shuo replied one by one: "Thank you for your concern, I will arrange an exclusive interview soon to answer your doubts." ”

Wang Shuo knew very well that there were some things that Iverson was destined to be impossible to avoid, but at the moment, no matter what the problem was, he had to wait until he met with Iverson first.

On the 3rd, under the arrangement of Crangillo Jr. and Iverson's agent, Wang Shuo and Iverson met in Phoenix.

In fact, until now, Iverson can't believe that the 76ers will trade him.

But you're going to say how upset he is about it......

When he learned that the new team he was traded to was the Suns, Iverson found out in a mixture of joy and sorrow:

He couldn't even shed a single tear!

As a man of temperament, Iverson certainly has a deep affection for Philadelphia and the 76ers.

But as long as I think of it, the head coach of the Suns in the new season is Wang Shuo, and I think of the night when I surpassed the "Magic" in the All-Star Game......

Iverson found that he, like the "ruthless and unjust" people he usually hated the most, began to imagine in his mind the picture of playing under Wang Shuo......

No......

How can I think that?

No......

Why can't I think like that?

On the 3rd, looking at Wang Shuo's handsome face, Iverson felt that no matter how good his memories were in Philadelphia, now, he must look forward and welcome a new life!

Unlike Iverson, although this is not the first time he has met Iverson, every time he sees Iverson, Wang Shuo will have an inexplicable "sense of intimacy" in his heart.

No way.

Who made NbA's long-term people, one more outrageous than the other?

Take Yao Ming, who is already packing his bags and preparing to come to Phoenix for summer training.

Every time he finished chatting with Yao Ming, Wang Shuo would feel that his neck was quite uncomfortable.

Even if, in order to take care of him, Xiao Yao will always deliberately bend over.

Wang Shuo knows very well that the reason why Iverson had a large number of fans at his peak was that in addition to his handsome and chic style of play, his height also contributed to it.

Because compared with those NbA stars who are often more than 200 centimeters, Iverson, who is only 183 centimeters tall, can indeed make ordinary people find a sense of substitution from him.

In the hotel arranged by Colangelo Jr., since Wang Shuo and Iverson are not the kind of people who like to go around the corner, Wang Shuo went straight to the point as soon as he came up: "Allen, you know, not only for you, but also for the team, now, we all have to solve your off-field troubles." ”

Hearing this, Iverson nodded and said, "But I'm really not good at dealing with reporters. ”

Wang Shuo knew very well that at this moment, Iverson was telling the truth.

Because of his rather casual personality, Iverson often did not know how to deal with the media during his career, which led to many things being described by reporters more and more after the fact.

"It's okay, I'm good at dealing with journalists, and I have a pretty good relationship with them." Wang Shuo said with a smile.

Iverson pondered in his mind for a moment and said, "What do you think I should do?" ”

Wang Shuo said: "You just need to generously admit some established facts, and leave the rest to me and the team management." ”

Iverson didn't expect Wang Shuo's request to be so simple.

But what he didn't know was that from the very beginning, Wang Shuo never thought of letting Iverson take the road of "whitewashing".

Because "whitewashing" is a thing that often only gets darker and darker.

Moreover, he Iverson is a black basketball player, why did Wang Shuo "whitewash" him?

In fact, from the moment he reached a tacit understanding with Colangelo Jr., Wang Shuo had already figured out how to solve Iverson's off-court troubles.

That's ......

Play only for real.

Didn't you media say that Iverson had problems here and there?

yes, he's got Iverson having these problems, what's wrong?

He used to have these problems, but don't you allow him to "turn back"?

Wang Shuo knows very well how much NbA and the United States eat the "prodigal son's return".

Also, in terms of Iverson's character......

He is also not suitable for the kind of "whitewashing" marketing route.

Therefore, instead of denying the problems that do exist in Iverson and covering up those "black spots" in him, what Wang Shuo has to do is to let Iverson generously admit his problems and admit his "black spots"!

Then, help him use his on-field performance in the new season to complete the theme of rebirth with the Suns!

Although he always grabbed a sheep to gather wool, Wang Shuo was a little reluctant not to go......

But the moment Colangelo Jr. told him that the 76ers were willing to trade Iverson, Wang Shuo's mind immediately echoed the song that would be played when FPX won the Cup in Paris.

"Next, I think you must be very concerned about what role you will play in my system for the Suns in the new season." Looking at Iverson, Wang Shuo said.

Iverson nodded expectantly.

"What I can tell you for sure is that in the Suns, you don't have the unfettered right to fire like you did in Philadelphia.

Because in addition to scoring, I need you to string the whole team together with passing.

I've been watching you play NbA since 1996 and I know exactly what kind of talent you have in passing.

Your vision, your dribbling, and your breakthrough are all I need.

But I also need you to be able to hit the opponent's rim when necessary, because you are the only one who can score these key goals for us in the new season of the Suns.

I know it's hard enough to do both at the same time.

But I need you to do more! Especially your three-point shot, you know, I'm a coach who loves three-point shooting, and in my opinion, you have to cut down on those long two-point shots.

Of course, if necessary, you can still choose whether or not to vote for these long points according to your own judgment.

Because like I used to say to Michael Jordan, it's inefficient to be two points long, but you have to admit that it can be useful in certain moments.

Yes, Aaron, I understand that it is basically impossible to complete these requirements at the same time.

But who made you Aaron Iverson? Wang Shuo looked at Iverson affectionately and said.

No doubt.

At this moment, Iverson had been completely conquered by Wang Shuo.

Although when Wang Shuo said that he would limit his shots on the court, Iverson's eyebrows were raised unnaturally at that time, but as Wang Shuo said later, especially when he said the sentence "Who made you Aaron Iverson", Iverson felt that at that moment, it was as if he had met a confidant!

As the saying goes, a thousand dollars are easy to get, but confidants are hard to find!

After muttering for a long time, Iverson showed his signature smile and said to Wang Shuo, "I don't know if I can meet your requirements.

But I promise you, every request you make, I will do it seriously! ”

Looking at Iverson, who was very satisfied with his tactical positioning for the new season, Wang Shuo continued: "In addition, Allen, you should know that I am a coach who has strict requirements for team training.

I'm not going to give you the privilege of being late or not training just because you're Aaron Iverson.

But according to your physical condition, I will ask my coaching team to formulate a more reasonable and scientific training plan for you. ”

Iverson laughed: "I don't participate in the training sessions that Coach Larry Brown arranges, just because I think he keeps us practicing defense every day, repeating it.

I can't promise you that I won't be late, but I can assure you that I'll be calm enough to accept the punishment given to me afterwards and that I'll be involved in every one of your training sessions. ”

Wang Shuo smiled and said, "I will set the alarm clock every day to remind you, I hope you don't get up." ”

Iverson was also happy, saying, "As Michael Jordan said, you are indeed the most special one in NbA. ”

After this meeting on this day......

Wang Shuo found through the system that Iverson and his favorability level suddenly came to 80.

Although the temporary favorability accounts for 70, compared to Danzi, who has a lot of thieves, in Wang Shuo's opinion, it is really a hot-blooded young man like Iverson who is good at "fooling".

In addition, Wang Shuo also used the points to generate a scouting report about Iverson for the first time.

Currently, Iverson's ability is rated 94 in the system's ratings.

In the system interface, the bracketed parts represent Iverson's theoretical maximum ability value.

Since we are in the offseason, the system will make some corrections to the player's current stats based on their own situation.

In addition, the so-called overall rating of ability value does not necessarily represent the actual performance of the player on the field.

Because the highest rating of the system's ability is only 99, like the 99 general rating of Boss Peak Qiao, it can't be the same as other people's 99 general ratings.

After all, there is a gap between superstars.

……

On the 5th, in the Suns' training gym, Wang Shuo met Xiao Yao, who enjoyed the first round of the playoffs with Boss Fu last season.

Since Boss Joe officially ended his playing career, Wang Shuo used the evil money to let Tim Grover, who had been "adopted" by Jordan, sign a "deed of sale" with him:

That is, no matter where Wang Shuo goes in the future, Grover will have to follow him wherever he goes, and help him train those NbA players he designates.

Originally, for such an "unreasonable request", Grover wanted to refuse.

But what ......

"Wang, you know, I've always been busy, so as much as I would love to work with you, ......"

"Tim, I know that there will be a lot of NbA players coming to you after Michael retires, but I can assure you that no matter how much they offer you, I can double it on top of them."

"Wang, you know, it's not about the money, it's about being a trainer and I love developing different young players and looking forward to their growth......"

"I understand that you have always regarded money as dung, and you have never been the kind of person who chases fame and fortune, but I think you can take a look at the number in the remuneration column on the contract I prepared for you."

"Oh! Damn it, Wang, well, I've wanted to work with you for a long time, because in my eyes, only you can understand how hard it is to be a trainer! ”

Do you say that he Grover chose to cooperate with Wang Shuo because of money?

Of course not!

He Grover only decided to cooperate with Wang Shuo for a long time, purely because Wang Shuo knew how to "understand" them as trainers.

On the training ground, after giving Yao Ming a physical test, Grover immediately gave his training plan, "His current weight is 132 kilograms, and I plan to return to China this summer to fight that ...... Before the Asian Championships, help him gain another two kilos of muscle.

Now, his upper body strength is much stronger than last year, and his core strength is also very good.

But he still has a lot of room for improvement in this ability. ”

Hearing this, Wang Shuo said: "Do you think it is necessary for him to continue to gain weight in the future?" ”

Grover shook his head and said, "I watched him last season and to be honest, 134 kilograms, if not on Shaq, is enough for him to gallop on the inside of NbA.

In addition to his physical fitness, in my opinion, what he needs to improve now is to add an inexplicable offensive skill to himself. ”

Wang Shuo asked knowingly, "What are you referring to?" ”

Grover touched his chin and said, "For example...... If he has such a great touch, why don't we focus his training on step-back shooting? ”

Wang Shuo smiled: "Are you good at this kind of training?" Or do you need me to ask Chip? ”

This summer, after Wang Shuo switched to the Suns, in addition to Mike Brown, who will be his first assistant coach next season, England, who previously coached Hamilton and Arenas to shoot, also joined the Suns coaching team for the new season.

And at the moment when Wang Shuo reported the name of England......

Grover always felt that Wang Shuo seemed to have a slight misunderstanding of himself.

That is, who told Wang Shuo that he Grover only knows physical training?

What international jokes?

If you want to become a GoAt in the trainer world, how can you only train physically?

looked at Wang Shuo with a serious face, only to see Grover say: "Do you really not know who coached Michael Jordan's backward jumper back then?" ”

Wang Shuo was amused and said, "Let me guess, it won't be the great legendary trainer Tim Grover, right?" ”

Grover felt that he was being tricked by Wang Shuo, so he said a little dejectedly: "In short, he has a good hand, I can try to coach his backward shooting, and according to his height and weight, to customize a shooting method for him, which is both labor-saving and can quickly solve the battle." ”

Wang Shuo gave Grover a thumbs up and said, "Wait two days, you may have to teach another player to shoot backwards." ”

Although in Wang Shuo's heart, Xiao Yao will be in his pocket sooner or later, he spent so much money to hire Grover, not just to tutor Xiao Yao.

In the Sun Training Gym, after Yao Ming practiced with Grover for another two days, he soon ushered in a training partner:

Amare Stoudemire, who usually likes to read.

It's just that as soon as he saw Xiao Si, Yao Ming was immediately embarrassed.

Regardless of his past or present life, Xiao Si is one of Yao Ming's less disliked opponents in the NbA arena.

In the rookie season of the two, the reason why Xiao Si was able to beat Xiao Yao to win the best rookie was also related to his slightly better performance than Xiao Yao when he was opposite Xiao Yao.

The reason why Yao Ming doesn't like to play Xiao Si is very simple, because Xiao Si, who has a very high ball quotient, can often use his running position to get easy scoring opportunities in front of Xiao Yao.

And in the future, after Xiao Si develops the ability to shoot in the long range, Xiao Yao will not like to be with him even more.

Although later, Xiao Yao was able to beat Xiao Si by relying on offense.

But as a big center who likes to be just frontal, he fights and retreats in the face of Xiao Si......

Xiao Yao really has a headache with it.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, Xiao Si probably developed his mid-range shooting ability in the 04/05 season, when his mid-to-long-range two-point shooting accounted for 33% of his shots, and his shooting rate exceeded 45%.

Before that, the reason why Xiao Si did not develop mid-to-long-range shooting ability had nothing to do with his talent and hard work, but it was only because of the halfway point of the 03/04 season in Wang Shuo's memory that Mike D'Antoni took over.

In the summer of '04, due to D'Antoni's tactical needs, Xiao Si only discovered after some diligent practice:

It turned out that he was a one-in-a-million pitching genius!

In NbA, a good coach has such a big impact on a young player.

If the "defensive-only" coach Frank Johnson continues to coach Smalls, then Smalls will probably not learn to shoot for the rest of his life.

Because in Frank's system, the center can only score in the three-second zone.

In this life, Wang Shuo not only hopes that Xiao Si can develop mid-to-long-range shooting, but also hopes that Xiao Si can further upgrade his backward shooting ability.

Because only in this way can the Suns increase their hard point on the court.

The "King of Fighters", who will also come to be coached by Grover after the holidays, Wang Shuo simply doesn't expect him to develop offense.

As for Marion, who has a weird shooting posture......

In the case that its technology has been basically finalized, there is also no possibility of developing a hard solution capability for this product.

So now the question arises.

Is it possible for Xiao Si to practice a hand that can help the Suns go up the court and harden the opponent's defense?

Grover's answer is: Yes.

In Grover's opinion, Xiao Si's touch is quite soft, and his core strength is also very good.

In Wang Shuo's memory, the reason why Xiao Si was almost hot in terms of hard solution was actually mainly due to Ryd Anthony.

Because if you look back at D'Antoni's coaching career, you'll find ......

D'Antoni's tactical system rarely relies on the player's roll back to force the opponent's defence.

Except for Guago, who was in the Knicks period.

But you must know that Brother Gua during the Knicks period was already a technologically stereotyped Brother Gua.

Including when coaching Harden in the back, although Harden will occasionally use leaning back to force the opposing defense, Harden obviously prefers to make opposing fouls and kill the opposing side with a one-point shot rather than leaning back.

As for the solar period......

It's still the same sentence, it's all NbA level competitions, and no one really thinks that there are any techniques that the supermen like NbA can't master, right?

In fact, if you really put the supermen of NbA into the field, you will find that in NbA, Ben can only play defensively.

D'Antoni's Junior will of course also use his leans to settle the fight in the game.

But compared with those back-to-back masters of the same era, Xiao Si's back-leaning is definitely not incomprehensible.

Wang Shuo knows that compared with mid- and long-range shooting, leaning back is a skill that takes longer to hone, but if Xiao Si is not allowed to practice now, then the Suns will always have only Iverson as a hard solution in the future.

……

Phoenix, a few days later, Tyson Chandler, who had finished his vacation, also arrived at training camp with excitement.

And then......

In the past two days, in the one-on-one heads-up, Xiao Yao and Xiao Si, who made each other very uncomfortable, ushered in their ......

"Toys".

This Chandler at this moment is far from being a mobile fortress.

Due to the Bulls' rotten swings every year, and the lack of guidance for Chandler in normal times, Chandler is not only rough in defensive movements, but his defensive awareness can only be described as completely instinctive.

Wang Shuo knew very well that the best way to quickly improve Chandler's defense was to let him be beaten.

As two completely different types of insiders, Xiao Si and Xiao Yao take turns to fight, and they can get laughter and laughter here at Chandler almost every day.

However, this approach only quickly improves Chandler's individual defensive experience and improves his defensive moves.

If you want to improve Chandler's defensive awareness, the best way is to take him to watch the game video with him and explain his defensive position, but also let him do more 5V 5 actual combat.

So, in order to make the "boxing king" grow up quickly, Wang Shuo called Wallace, Arenas and other veterans with a phone call.

Don't say anything, did you see the "parallel champion" on the other side who couldn't even hide his big stick in loose sports shorts?

Yes, it's him, beat him to death for me!

Previously, Chandler would have been happy to learn that he would be traded by the Bulls to the Suns, and that Wang Shuo wanted to receive his special training this summer.

Because this means that not only has he finally left Chicago, the land of right and wrong, but Wang Shuo, a "living legend", still values him very much!

Can ...... now

He Chandler only wanted to cry, but only wanted to cry.

In the singles session, Chandler who faced Xiao Si had no physical advantage at all.

Because Xiao Si's athleticism, especially the terrible bullet speed, can always catch him off guard.

As for Xiao Yao, let alone that.

If it is said that against Xiao Si, Chandler still barely has the strength to fight.

In the past two days, Chandler, who could dream of Xiao Yao even when he was sleeping, was really woken up by Xiao Yao's smiling face in his dreams every day.

And the most hateful 5v5 link.

In order for Chandler to get enough exercise, Wang Shuo basically put the four players with the worst defense on the same team with him every time.

On the court, often after making up for this side, you have to immediately make up for Chandler on that side, and recently he has even been replaced with "assistant defense ptSd".

For example, when eating, as long as everyone talks about "assisting defense", Chandler's body will form a conditioned reflex, and he will step out with a horizontal movement.

In addition, what made Chandler feel extremely depressed was that Xiao Si and Xiao Yao never avoided him when they exchanged tips on how to hammer him, and every time they talked in front of him, "Tyson, let me tell you, don't look at him looking very bluffing, in fact, he can fight softly", "He likes to reach out when defending, and the next time you fight, you can do a few more feints".

You say, you two will abuse me as well......

Is it funny that you complained about me to my face like that?

Thanks Chandler.

In the past two days, with his help, Yao Ming has made another good friend after he came to play in the United States.

And in the training hall, as time went by, Wang Shuo found that watching these stars train on the sidelines was even more interesting than watching NbA games.

Because from it, he can get the pleasure of cultivating new people.

"It's no wonder that Coach Anzai likes to peek at Sakuragi's shots, because as a coach, it's really fun to watch his disciples grow up day by day!" On this day, Wang Shuo sighed in his heart.

In July, the joyful Sun Training Camp is not on the table for the time being.

Mike Brown, who led the Suns Summer League team this year, had just returned to Phoenix on the front foot, and recommended a player to Wang Shuo on the back foot.

"Although he is only '178' centimeters tall, I feel that his characteristics must be very suitable for your tactical needs."

The name recommended by Mike Brown to Wang Shuo is called Breven Knight, who is "178" cm tall and weighs 78 kg, and was just cut by the Grizzlies after last season.

As the 16th pick in the first round in 1997, Knight had a pretty good overall view on the court and was an excellent offensive engine.

Of course, his shortcomings are also obvious, and that is his height.

Wang Shuo's previous life, this stage, is a more miserable period of Knight's career, the future until the Bobcats joined the league, Knight found his second spring in the Bobcats, in 04/05 and 05/06 seasons played an average of 10.1 points, 9.0 assists and 12.6 points, 8.8 assists per game.

In this life, due to the appearance of Wang Shuo, the current Suns lack enough chips to exchange for Barbosa, the "Brazilian Lightning" who was originally traded back to the team by the Suns in this year's draft, so at present, Iverson does need a substitute in the new season.

But compared to Blevin Knight, Wang Shuo has a more suitable candidate for this Suns:

Earl Boykins.

"But his height is only '165' cm, and many people even think that he has falsely reported his height, saying that his actual height is only 160 cm." Mike Brown said with a look of surprise.

Wang Shuo patted Brown on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Is there any difference between the height of '178' cm and '165' cm in NbA?" ”

The reason why Wang Shuo prefers Boykins is because the Suns have Dior as the engine in their second lineup, so he needs a guard who is good at offense more than sorting out the team's offense.

Anyway, Knight and Boykins' defense is air, so why don't the Suns pick Boykins, who has a certain three-point development potential?

In Wang Shuo's eyes, Knight is good at everything, that is, he has only hit 16 three-pointers in his career in total.

In the new season, NbA will remove the "hc" rule, and Wang Shuo knows that as the team's offensive space becomes wider, players who can shoot three-pointers will also be more popular in the league in the future.

For example, Bell, who has been signed by the Suns, and Iverson, Wang Shuo has requirements for them to practice three points this summer.

At this moment, looking at Wang Shuo, Brown was persuaded by his success.

On the other hand, in this summer when everyone is busy improving themselves, the Lakers have also brought a little "F4" shock to NbA during this period!

At O'Neal's invitation, Carl Malone left the Utah Plateau, where he had played for many years, and arrived in Los Angeles, the "City of Angels".

In addition, Gary Payton also followed in the footsteps of Malone and joined the Lakers as a free agent with his fantasy of winning at least two or three championships with "oK".

In the market, public opinion was in an uproar!

"What else will you play in NbA next season? Send the championship trophy directly to Los Angeles! The Lakers are already invincible! ”

"Oh my God, a team of 4 superstars! What kind of dream lineup is this? ”

"It's all strange to the wizards, if it weren't for them forcing out their own meritorious coaches and city heroes, we would have been able to witness the two super teams meet on the stage of the finals!"

No matter who people choose to give the pot to when reviewing the Lakers' "F4" in the future, at least on the premise that no one knows the ending of this Lakers "F4" team except Wang Shuo for now, basically, fans in this period believe that the Lakers have killed the suspense of NbA this summer.

New York, who was still wondering whether he should raise a hand to Lakers' Stern after missing the championship for two consecutive years, immediately dispelled this extremely stupid idea!

Raise a hand to the Lakers?

In the new season, Stern does not sanction this Lakers, which can be regarded as giving the Lakers face!

"What's the latest news from the Suns?" On this day, Stern, who was frustrated by the Lakers' "F4", asked.

"They just recently signed Earl Boykins from the free agent market." Mark replied.

"You know, that's not what I'm asking." Rubbing his temples, Stern said.

"The press conference they gave to Aaron Iverson was a bit polarizing in terms of public opinion.

Some people think that after Allen Iverson candidly admitted his mistakes, everyone should give him a chance to mend his ways.

Others think ......"

Just as Mark was halfway through his answer, Stern, who also knew a lot about marketing, immediately interrupted him, "Sure enough, only the news of the Sun can make me a little more comfortable." ”

Mark was a little puzzled.

After patting him on the shoulder, Stern said to him: "Look, when the new season starts, in less than two months, Allen Iverson's reputation will be completely reversed." ”

Mark asked, "Do we need to tilt resources towards the Suns for the new season?" ”

Stern nodded and said, "As long as Wang Shuo can lead this Suns to play a beautiful offense like he did in Washington, we will support the Suns!" ”

As a star he picked up by himself, in fact, unless he had to, Stern has always "not abandoned, never given up" on these stars, and squeezed out the residual value of each star as much as possible.

For example, in the future, after Kobe's "Eagle County Incident" broke out, although the league treated him coldly for a period of time, but soon, as Kobe Bryant re-played one highlight after another on the court, Stern immediately resumed his support.

Therefore, even if Iverson was riddled with negative news before, after he joined the Suns, Stern still expects him to prove himself again under Wang Shuo.

And at this moment, after seeing through the path that Wang Shuo was going to guide Iverson to......

Stern is even more confident that Allen Iverson will turn his reputation around in one fell swoop in the new season!

What a drama of "The Prodigal Son"!

In Stern's view, the only regret is that NbA has only one Wang Shuo.

Otherwise, why would he have a headache every day?

Isn't it okay to lie down and count the bills?

In a blink of an eye, the time came to August of this year.

As the new season approaches, Wang Shuo plans to add two more assistant coaches to his coaching staff before the start of the new season.

As a result, while he was still thinking about the selection of teaching assistants, on this day, Pat Riley suddenly called him.

"You're saying you want me to coach Eric Spoelstra for the new season?" On the phone, after learning about Riley's intention, Wang Shuo said.

"For the new season, I'm going to step back into the background and have Stan as the team's head coach.

Eric likes you a lot and wants to learn from you for a while, so can you help me tutor him? Riley asked.

Hearing this, after thinking for a while, Wang Shuo decisively agreed to Riley's suggestion.

As the head coach who led the Heat all the way to the Finals before Wang Shuo's crossing, Wang Shuo believes that Spoelstra will definitely not let him down.

It's just that......

Wang Shuo wondered why Riley had Spoelstra come to him for an internship instead of following Stan Van Gundy.

On the same day, Miami.

Spoelstra, who was forced to "like Wang Shuo very much", was receiving Riley's final lecture before going to the Suns for an internship.

"I'm already old, I can't teach you anything anymore, go to the sun and learn from Wang for a while!" Riley said to Spoelstra with a serious face.

As Riley's only successor early on, Riley hopes that Spoelstra can follow Wang Shuo and learn as much as possible from Wang Shuo's strengths, so that he can be ready to take over his class in the future.

As for why Riley didn't choose to tutor Spoelstra in person in this life?

Mainly because, in Riley's view, he also needs to learn right now.

In NbA, no coach can sit on the throne all the time.

Even if this coach is called Pat Riley.

Just as Wang Shuo believed that Spoelstra would not let him down, Riley, who has always been good at reading people, also firmly believed that Wang Shuo would not let him down.

Of course, before Spoelstra set off, Riley did not forget to remind him: "The king is half my disciple, in terms of seniority, although he is your junior brother, but when you come to Phoenix, you have to listen to him in everything, and you have to do whatever he wants you to do." ”

And so it was.

Wang Shuo himself didn't know that on this day, he inexplicably had an extra "senior brother".

And on this day, Wang Shuo also received a call from Charles Barkley.

"Huh? You say you want to take a break from your commentary career and return to the NbA as an assistant coach? On the phone, after Barkley expressed his intentions, Wang Shuo said.

"Wang, you know, I have always admired you very much, and in my opinion, to be a good commentator, a wealth of tactical knowledge is also essential, so ......

Can I join your luxury team and learn from you for a while? Barkley said with great humility.

Wang Shuo, who was amused by Buckley, smiled: "Then you can come." ”
