"Hello, Mr. Pat Riley!"

On February 27, the day before the Cavaliers and the Miami Heat played for the third time this season, Wu Dawei went on the appointment on time and came to Pat Riley to tell him the address, which was actually a cafe not far from the hotel during this trip to the Miami Heat.

When Wu Dawei came here, Pat Riley had already appeared in the cafe and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"I'm glad to see you again, boy!"

Pat Riley stretched out his hand to Wu Dawei enthusiastically, which surprised Wu Dawei, but he no longer felt flattered when he received his call last summer. After all, Wu Dawei is no longer a player of the Miami Heat, so naturally he is not Pat Riley's subordinate.

"The last time you went back to Miami, I didn't have time to greet our old friends. This time I've been compensated!"

Pat Riley showed his "affection" side from the beginning, but it gave Wu Dawei a bit strange. After all, although he had worked with Pat Riley before, it was like a colleague who was working in the same company who had never met suddenly became familiar with him, which made people feel a little embarrassed for a while.

However, Pat Riley didn't seem to have such a feeling at all. Compared to Wu Dawei, this basketball godfather, who is over 50 years old, seems very calm in his words and deeds. While chatting and laughing, it seems that he is really just meeting two old friends.

Wu Dawei nodded and laughed dryly. At this time, the waiter served coffee. Wu Dawei rarely drank this thing, and maybe it was related to his profession. Wu Dawei rarely touched drinks other than sports drinks. Of course, if he was going out to play, he would not stick to it, and he would still drink it.

Although drinking and smoking are harmful to the athlete's bodies, people are a species with desire after all. Wu Dawei just thinks that if he wants to go out to play, then don't try to suppress himself.

"How is it going recently? Cleveland is much cooler than Miami, right?"

Pat Riley still had a happy face, like an elder who cared about his younger generation. Riley began to talk about family matters.

"This is true. But it's colder in winter!"

Although Wu Dawei's career was not satisfactory in Miami, he spent a year in that beach city and still had some understanding of the environment and climate. After all, he had been there before, so this could naturally be felt.

Cleveland is indeed much colder in winter than Miami, even though Miami is close to the sea.

"That's for sure! Haha, winter must make you feel a little overwhelmed, right? Otherwise you wouldn't have such a deep feeling!"

Pat Riley smiled. He could see that Wu Dawei was indeed a little uncomfortable with the cold climate.

"It's true...at least the winter here is much colder than Miami."

Wu Dawei spread his hands. Although he didn't like the scorching heat, he was also somewhat boycotted of the severe cold.

"It seems you prefer colder..."

Pat Riley said something as if he was stupid, which made Wu Dawei stunned for a moment. He curled his lips, spread his hands at Riley, and asked in confusion: "Why do you say that, Mr. Riley."

"Otherwise, why did you perform so well as soon as you arrive in Cleveland? It seems that it must be the heat of Miami that made me miss a great player with my own hands! I hate the heat!"

Come here!

The scene that Wu Dawei had been speculating in his heart finally appeared, and it still happened so suddenly, which made Wu Dawei a little excited. When he received a call from Pat Riley, Wu Dawei kept thinking that Pat Riley must have caused a reason for his invitation.

He would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Riley, who had almost no contact with him before, suddenly contacted himself. If you say he wanted to come to reminisce about the past, that is, even Wu Dawei didn't believe it. Not to mention that the two of them were strangers when they were in Miami, even if they reminisce about the past, there must be old things to reminisce about...

Wu Dawei knew that Pat Riley would definitely praise him at this party, but he didn't expect that Lai used such a "literary" method to actually move from the weather to praise him. He is truly a model of literary youth...

"Wow~Mr. Riley, you're exaggerating! I'm not that good, and I'm far from reaching the realm of greatness~"

Although Wu Dawei thinks he likes to be complacent, it is all because the object is someone he is very familiar with. In front of strangers, Wu Dawei is still relatively good at keeping himself low-key and modest.

However, Pat Riley's praise still made Wu Dawei feel a little complacent. You know, although Pat Riley's status in the basketball world is not as good as Auerbach in ancient times, he is also a famous basketball godfather. Undoubtedly, when he retired, the history of the Miami Heat, the Los Angeles Lakers, and even the New York Knicks would leave a brilliant mark he wrote!

These are all wealthy teams!

If Wu Dawei is not happy in his heart to be able to get such a senior who has such brilliant achievements, he will be struck by lightning...

Although Pat Riley once admitted to reporters this season that he did not regret adding Wu Dawei to LeBron James' deal, it was obvious that those words were probably not from the sincerity.

Otherwise, why would he say this to Wu Dawei in front of Wu Dawei at this moment?

"You are still so modest!"

Pat Riley waved his hand at Wu Dawei and smiled gracefully: "Although we haven't said that in a year in Miami, I have observed you seriously..."

Regardless of whether Pat Riley's words are true or not, at least Wu Dawei feels good to listen to. No one will like to be praised, and they are praised in person...

He raised his eyebrows and continued to listen to Pat Riley talking: "You have always been the most humble person on the team when you were in the Miami Heat. It seems that modest is the tradition of you Chinese. At least I have seen this in you and Yao Ming!"

"But it's not good to be too modest, this is the reward you deserve! Wu, your performance in this season is really surprising! I mean, I'm very surprised! To be honest, I've been working in the basketball industry for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen a player make such progress after a season! It's simply..."

Riley paused for a moment when she said this, and showed an incredible expression and said, "It's simply an indescribable leap! Wu, you're really amazing!"

"Your performance shocked the whole league and also shocked me! Do you know, Wu, you are definitely a legend! No matter what your future is, your performance in this season is enough to make you fall into history, comparable to people like Michael Jordan!"

This is definitely a very high praise, and even made Wu Dawei a little flattered. Although he knew very well that his performance this season was definitely very highlighted, he had never raised himself to the level of the God of Jordan.

Although Riley's praise may only be 2 points, 8 points, and praise, Wu Dawei cannot deny it. It sounds so comfortable.

Wu Dawei originally thought that the reason why Pat Riley invited him to have coffee must be the same as most of the current attempts of the league to contact their team's senior management, hoping that he could join their team this summer.

But from the beginning to the end, Pat Riley did not mention anything that he hoped Wu Dawei would return to the Miami Heat during the conversation, and he did not even express too much of this. He just kept praising Wu Dawei's performance this season and talking to him about his previous days with the Miami Heat.

Of course, such a trick cannot escape Bonnie Raflin's eyelids. When she learned that Wu Dawei was going to "a private meeting" Pat Riley, Raflin knew that this old fox wanted Wu Dawei to return to the Miami Heat.

"But he didn't mean to say he wanted me to go back to Miami."

"Of course I won't mention it now~ Will you go back if you mention it now? Even if you want, the league's regulations cannot allow such a thing to happen. So Pat Riley must have placed his hopes on this summer's offseason. At that time, he can rely on the relationship he has established now and lobbying you much easier!"

Bonnie Lauflin was very evident, but Wu Dawei felt that it made some sense. However, this issue was not something Wu Dawei wanted to consider now. He was still more willing to focus his energy on his eyes and leading the team into the playoffs this season is Wu Dawei's top priority at the moment.

If you want to enter the playoffs, you must first play the regular season in the last month before the start of the playoffs. So at present, Wu Dawei's attention is still focused on tomorrow's home game against the Heat.

However, Wu Dawei is unwilling to focus on this summer that still belongs to the future, but the media reporters are different. The news that Wu Dawei met Heat President Pat Riley in Cleveland was revealed by the media almost immediately on the same day!

After all, Wu Dawei did not hide his cover when he came. After his afternoon training, he rode his bicycle to the appointment. This made some reporters who were just used to following Wu Dawei pick up such an unexpected surprise.
