Chapter 172 Old Old, Small
If Angie has dealt with Weber, it may be more of a veteran's own choice. Although the Celtics' strength is not comparable to that of the Pistons, they are more reliable than those in New York, and they are recovering.
In addition, Weber is looking at the vitality of Boston, especially the bald boy, so he would rather decline the Pistons' recruitment and the possible contract from New York, and resolutely defected to the Celtics.
And at the time of signing the contract, Weber has stated that if there is no injury or illness, he and Angie hope that this cooperation will continue until the day he retires, which is also a promise.
Although no one can predict what will happen in the future and whether this cooperation will change, Weber is here after all. The rich experience he can bring to the team may make those little animals useless.
At least when Chen Feng saw Weber, he immediately hooked up and dragged his former opponent away.
In the face-to-face confrontation between the two, Chen Feng did not forget how he was successfully singles by Weber. Although the final result was that the team won, the old guy still had an advantage in the one-on-one match.
At least in the technical link, Weber plays more smoothly than Chen Feng in back singles or the use of footsteps under the basket. He can teach this boy a lot of things.
Even Jefferson rarely took the initiative to say hello when he saw Weber. I guess this silent big guy can understand that he has another strong helper this time.
Weber's arrival made the Boston media very excited. They never dreamed that such an all-star power forward would sign the Celtics on a veteran terms. This is simply a pie from the sky!
And he grabbed this guy in the competition with the Pistons, and Angie immediately turned into a god.
However, compared with dealing with Weber, Angie got Sprewell to Boston, which surprised many people. They didn't expect that Angie had dealt with such an old guy.
You should know that that guy claimed that a year ago that he didn't have an annual salary of 10 million US dollars, which was not enough to support his family.
The guy who couldn't handle the Timberwolves' 21 million in three years was simply handled by Angie with two million? Murphy looked at Angie's expression at that time with such a strange look.
"Do you think this guy will have an affair with Latrier? Otherwise, there is no reason why you have to come to Boston without taking the original salary of seven million yuan? Is there such a great attraction here?"
Of course, when Murphy said these words, he must have muttered in a low voice. He didn't want Angie to hear it.
If that guy hears it, maybe he will close the door if he wants to interview some inside information in the future.
There is no shortage of homosexuality in the NBA, but Angelie and Latrier Sprewell don't have this hobby. At least there is absolutely no strong love in their eyes.
Er, these two guys won't practice any fire palms behind others' back, or emotional knives.
Sprewell's reason for choosing Boston is actually not difficult to understand. At the beginning, he was waiting for the price in the Timberwolves. The game was good enough, and he thought he was worth it.
A salary of seven million a year? In the eyes of Sprewell, who was in the limelight at that time, it was he and Kassel who helped Garnett reach the Western Conference finals in the 03-04 season. Without them, the Timberwolves would still be in a round!
And in the 04-05 season, it was Sprewell and Kassel who were very unhappy with the management of the Timberwolves because of the contract, which made Garnett not even enter the playoffs after a final.
It is because of this confidence that Sprewell dares to shout to the management of the Timberwolves, "The annual salary is only 10 million, and I will never sign a contract, seven million? Brother is not enough to support the family!"
But everyone knows what happened later. The boss of the Timberwolves is not used to anyone. Don't you want to sign it? Then I won't sign it, and I gave up Kassel very simply.
Although the team's strength was greatly damaged, the Timberwolves did not want to be threatened by the two veterans, so they gave up both of them directly because they had better long pain than short pain.
I'm afraid few people can predict such a straightforward approach, so Sprewell's salary requirement has simply become a joke in the league, and many people are waiting to see his jokes.
Not to mention, Sprewell was really cruel. He simply gave up his choice and began to wander around in his luxury yacht for more than a year.
It's not that no team has ever played his idea during the period. But whether it is Houston or New York, most of them are only willing to pay him a veteran's terms.This makes Spreeville even more angry. I don't sign for my seven million annual salary? How dare you open your mouth with such a little money? Don't fight! One million is like picking up a bargain? I really think it's a rotten cabbage that can't be sold!?
Anyway, Sprewell has been idle for more than a year. It's not that the old guy doesn't want to play basketball, but he can't lose face, and he doesn't want to be thought to be gray and crawling back.
It was more humiliating to reduce the price than to sign a contract with the Timberwolves at the beginning, so this guy took a complete break and opened a creative factory next to Los Angeles, which was specially responsible for modifying various vehicles.
However, the days without playing ball are enough to make Sprewell upset. Otherwise, he would not have to drive his yacht out for fun, but this kind of life is also very boring if it is too much.
It can only be said that Angie is lucky enough. If the 36-year-old Spreeville still doesn't return to the field, he is really about to become a historical relic, and Angie's appearance is just right.
It is estimated that it was because of Sprewell's bad temper. After several closed doors in a row, no one looked for him after the start of the season, and Angie became the first team manager to visit the old guy.
Although the two did not meet at that time, Angie left the contact information, and Sprewell himself knew that if he stayed for another half a year and did not participate in the official game, he would completely say goodbye to the NBA.
This is also a match. Although Sprewell made a condition, he also restrained his bad temper and did not bargain more with Rivers or Angie.
Two million dollars a year, Sprewell finally didn't have a big mouth. He only needs two million, and he just wants to tell those who are trying to sign him on veteran terms that I'm not that cheap!
Angie can only say that this proud old man is too face-to-face and suffer, but he can't get this cheap price. No one can expect that Boston will deal with this difficult madman so easily.
However, not everyone thinks that Angie's three signings are a lot of money. Maybe Weber is worth the money, but most people have a scrutiny attitude towards Sprewell and Novak.
Needless to say, Novak is a rookie after all, and he hasn't played any games at all in the early part of the season. Even Angie himself is not sure whether this guy can play his due role.
Rivers has only seen some of the video materials given to him by Takanian, which is a little understanding of Novak's performance in college. Although he doesn't know how the actual combat is, this type is what he needs.
With a height of 2.08 meters, he is used to the pitcher's essence of flying cold arrows on the periphery, and when he first arrived at the team's first confrontation training, this guy hit four three-pointers in a row outside the three-point line.
Although he doesn't know what kind of play he will play after playing, Rivers knows what kind of space he can create for this little guy. What this kind of pitcher needs is a vacant place that can be played comfortably.
And Rondo's almost crazy assist idea is simply a good match with this kind of pitcher who needs to have a mobile phone meeting.
In addition, Jefferson and Chen Feng provide him with the guarantee of rebounding on the inside line. Nowak at least doesn't have to worry about being scolded by his teammates after losing the shot. This environment is very suitable for the development of a pitcher.
The outside world may not be optimistic about this guy who is almost ruined by the Rockets, but Rivers is confident that the little guy can find his place in the Celtics.
Novak is not the focus of media attention. Compared with him, the old maniac with a small braid is the big trouble that everyone is worried about.
Even Murphy said in private that Spreeville has been playing in the NBA for so many years, and his bad temper is obvious to all. Let's put aside his glorious deeds of pinching the coach's neck. Whether it's the New York Knicks or the Minnesota Timberwolves, he is a thorn, and ordinary people can't subdue at all. This god.
The Boston media naively thought that Rivers, who had just coached the Celtics for two or three seasons, could handle this. At least at the press conference, Prewell was still unruly.
But what others didn't expect is that Auerbach, who has lived at home for a long time, had seen the bad-tempered veteran in advance before the media saw Spreville.
Anyway, no one knows what they are talking about. Anyway, when he walks out of Angie's office, the reruly guy will have a showdown with Rivers. He will obey the head coach's decision, including the playing time.
Other teams may have to worry about how to tame this arrogant madman, but they have forgotten who is the real boss in this acre of land in Boston.
There is the old guy who has nothing to do with a cigar. Is there any eyeless guy who can make any waves?
Three transactions, two old and one young, such a lineup supplement, no matter who seems to be a little unreliable.
At least for Celtic competitors, what kind of chemical reaction can they really have when they put together? Can Rivers guarantee that he can play with those successful veterans?
Anyway, after the transaction, the Celtics have been hit with a question mark in many people's hearts.
Everyone is waiting to see, Angie's long-sleeved dance, what kind of goods are they dragging...
(All of you who won the NBA guessing, please contact me as soon as possible! What's the date? Only 13 people! If you don't contact me again, it will be closed! Second, I'll try my best. I was on the night shift last night, and I'm still dizzy...)
