280. News on the eve of the Great War
On February 28, the Miami Heat will face the Cleveland Cavaliers at home. The third match of the two sides this season will be held at the Cavaliers' home court tonight, the Quick Loan Center.
But before this game, the most attention was not the fight between the two sides, and the battle between the main players of both sides, LeBron James and Wu Dawei, but the news that Wu Dawei had been exposed to private meeting with Pat Riley.
The authenticity of such a news is unquestionable, because the news published in the newspaper is accompanied by photos of Wu Dawei and Pat Riley meeting at that time. In the photo, Wu Dawei and Pat Riley clearly appeared.
Moreover, the following photos, as well as the scene of Wu Dawei and Pat Riley's "corner" conversation, all confirm the authenticity of the news that was suddenly exposed.
In an instant, this news ignited the Cleveland area. You know, Wu Dawei is now the heart of Cleveland people. After losing LeBron James, Wu Dawei immediately appeared in front of people, and his performance in the past six months has undoubtedly made him the new favorite of Cleveland people.
As the current star of the Cavaliers, Wu Dawei's local popularity in Cleveland has long surpassed that of LeBron James. Not long ago, when the media broke the news that Kobe Bryant invited Wu Dawei to join the Los Angeles Lakers this summer, Cleveland fans were urging the Cleveland Cavaliers to complete a contract renewal with Wu Dawei.
Before such a storm could be passed, news of Wu Dawei meeting Pat Riley broke out. This undoubtedly made Cleveland fans feel a little restless.
It was better to have Kobe Bryant or anyone else’s invitation to join, after all, Wu Dawei had not had much friendship with them before. It looked more like a harmless joke and hype.
But Pat Riley is different. As the president of the Heat, Wu Dawei has been a "soldier" for a year under his command. No matter how mediocre Wu Dawei performed in the past season, at least they maintained a working relationship for a year.
Although the parties involved knew that last night's meeting was just a casual chat, Cleveland fans were completely unaware of this. They didn't know what the relationship between Wu Dawei and Pat Riley...
Such news was revealed, undoubtedly immediately made Cleveland fans feel worried.
In addition to the Cleveland area, this news also appeared on the official homepage of the Florida Sentinels in an instant. After all, Wu Dawei once worked as a Miami Heat player for a year, and he was so famous this season that he naturally paid great attention.
What's more, another person involved in the news that was revealed was Mr. Pat Riley, the president of the Miami Heat.
"This is an intriguing news. The photos uploaded by the photographer have proved the authenticity of the news, so what we need to think about is why Wu Dawei and Pat Riley meet. Before the third encounter between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat this season, was they meeting to manipulate the game?"
"Obviously not. I would rather believe that Mr. Pat Riley is going to recruit Wu Dawei for our team. This is a very likely thing. Wu Dawei was once a member of the Miami Heat. As the starting point of Wu Dawei's career, I think Wu Dawei must have a very special relationship with Miami! Otherwise, apart from that, I really wouldn't think of any other reason that could explain all this."
"Maybe we will return to the players who originally belonged to Miami this summer!"
Miami people are also very positive about such a source of news that was suddenly exposed. After all, Wu Dawei was once a member of this team. Although Wu Dawei's performance was not outstanding when he was a player of the Miami Heat. It can even be said that he was extremely mediocre.
You can't say that a young player who only got ten or ten rebounds in the whole season is extremely outstanding...
But so what? Wu Dawei's performance this season is enough to keep Miami fans and supporters warmly welcome the assumption that Wu Dawei returns to the Miami Heat.
After all, Wu Dawei is a player in the All-Star Game this season. At the same time, he is currently leading the league in the top spots in the steals and blocks. There is no need to say how much help the Miami Heat joining such a player will help the Miami Heat.
And if Wu Dawei can really join the Miami Heat, then there is no doubt that the lineup concept proposed by former Miami Heat president Pat Riley will be further completed.
The forward team composed of Wu Dawei and LeBron James has been successfully made in the All-Star Game. If the Heat have Wu Dawei, then they can also line up like this. Let Wu Dawei live LeBron James as a power forward. After all, both of them have strong bodies and excellent defensive abilities. The risks they form will definitely be the most terrifying combination in the league!
Chris Bosh, who originally played in the fourth position, would be mentioned at the fifth position, so that the Miami Heat could speed up, which has always been the basketball that the Miami Heat wanted to play. In the fast break, the stars' personal abilities will be greater, and it is the more meaningful for a team like the Miami Heat that has many giants.
However, so far, all this is just speculation. Although there are indeed photos that prove that the two of them have met and have had coffee together, they seem to have had a very happy chat, but this cannot explain it.
At least until the two parties come forward to explain, no one knows what the truth is.
But the more this happens, the more worried Cleveland fans are. They don’t want to repeat the same mistakes. Wu Dawei has to stay in Cleveland anyway, which is the most affirmative answer for all Cleveland fans.
No team can bear it. I missed the league top-level superstar for two consecutive years!
Therefore, before the Miami Heat's away game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, a large number of journalists flocked to the media, all of whom were waiting in their respective positions on the side of the court, waiting for Wu Dawei and his Cavaliers to appear and warm up.
The game was held at 8 pm local time, and the Cavaliers' pre-match warm-up was held an hour before the start of the game. When Wu Dawei ran out of the player channel with his teammates leisurely, he was quickly stopped by the reporters who had been waiting for a long time.
"Wu! Is this true?"
"Great. What does Pat Riley look for you?"
"Why did you meet Pat Riley?"
"Wu...don't you want to go back to the Miami Heat, do you?"
"Wu, why do you meet?"
"Did Pat Riley want you to return to Miami?"
Wu Dawei stopped smiling and was drowned in the sea of questions by the reporters...
The faces in front of him seemed extremely anxious, and there were even a few old acquaintances of Wu Dawei. Brian Windhorst, a reporter from the Cleveland Honesty Businessman, was one of the few reporters who had a good relationship with Wu Dawei. At this time, he was also one of the group of reporters surrounding Wu Dawei.
Because when he heard the news, Wendhorst didn't believe it. He thought it was just a rumor. But when he saw the series of photos, Wendhorst couldn't help but become nervous.
As a genuine Clevelander, he is very loyal to the Cavaliers. Naturally, he will definitely not hope that the Cavaliers will be poached by others. LeBron James' departure has already hit him a lot, so naturally. Such news made him very worried.
Although he is familiar with Wu Dawei, he has even interviewed Wu Dawei several times, and the relationship between the two has become very good in these interviews. However, Wendhorst has not received any relationship between him and Pat Riley from Wu Dawei, which is what gives people imagination.
So at this time, Windhorst, like most Cleveland fans, seemed very worried about this sudden news.
And importantly, before meeting Wu Dawei at this moment, Windhorst and other colleagues also went to the hotel to interview Pat Riley, the president of Miami Heat who followed the Heat to Cleveland this time, but Riley was silent about it, leaving people unable to get an answer.
Of course, at this moment, Wu Dawei's answer became a life-saving straw.
"Don't make a fuss about it, it's just an ordinary meeting. Mr. Pat Riley and I are friends. This time I come to Cleveland, I have to do my best to be a landlord."
Although Wu Dawei said lies in the first half of the sentence, the second half is indeed true. He bought the order yesterday. Although it was an invitation from Pat Riley, Wu Dawei rushed to pay the order, and he didn't know when he developed the habit.
Wu Dawei initially thought that the meeting with Pat Riley was hyped. After all, now that he is so popular, even if he loses hair on his body, it may make people fuss. But what surprised Wu Dawei was that such a news would actually cause such a sensation.
Such intense information feedback was indeed unexpected by Wu Dawei. However, this also indirectly proves Wu Dawei's position in the hearts of Cleveland fans. Thinking of it, Wu Dawei couldn't help but want to laugh a little, but he knew that this time was not the time to laugh.
Wu Dawei's answer instantly made Wendhorst breathe a lot. Of course, he couldn't be completely relieved just because of Wu Dawei's words. After all, the suspiciousness of this matter was too great. So when Wu Dawei got rid of the reporters, Brian Wendhorst was planning to ask Wu Dawei for an exclusive interview.
Of course, he wanted to get the most real thoughts in his heart from Wu Dawei, of course, it was about his next stop, that is, the next contract. Now the whole world knows that Wu Dawei's rookie contract has only one year left. When this season is completely over this summer, Wu Dawei will become a free agent. At that time, there will definitely be countless teams that want to win him.
"You don't really want to go to Miami, do you?"
During the warm-up training, Changxi Billups suddenly came to Wu Dawei and joked with a smile.
"You won't really believe in gossip news, do you?" Wu Dawei responded with the same tone, but instead joked with Billups: "You are so old, Changxi, are you so naive than a little girl?"
"You mean...you are a little girl?" Bilups looked disgusted and laughed: "I can't stand you anymore. Wu, I really didn't expect you to be such a person!"
Although the fans of Cleveland were worried, Wu Dawei was still doing pre-match training with his teammates on the court. Rumors were always self-defeating, and Wu Dawei believed that after the explanation, the reporters would soon make their intentions public.
So what he needs to worry about now is not the mood of the fans, but the game that will be played tonight.
If we can beat the Miami Heat three times this season, it will be a great thing for both the Cavaliers and Wu Dawei. Although Pat Riley has admitted his strength in his meeting with him yesterday, who would not want to make the party who once abandoned him feel regretful?
This should be considered a dark side of a person. It can’t be said that who is right or wrong, it just wants to have a refreshing feeling.
Wu Dawei is not a saint, so he naturally has such an idea in his heart.
Shortly after the Cavaliers entered the field to warm up, the Miami Heat also came out to warm up. In an instant, the boos were flying all over the sky. LeBron James is now a natural excellent tank in the Speed Loan Center, which immediately attracted all his attention and ridicule.
Almost all Clevelanders are booing the best they can to the star, who is highly praised by the league.
"Hey, LeBron! You actually have the face to come to Cleveland? Has the great lesson not made you suffer enough?"
"James, you bastard, how many points do you want to lose in this game?! Twenty or thirty!?"
"Ha, maybe James not only wants to lose, he also wants to be great for six consecutive blocks like his good friend Cameron Anthony! I'm right, Mr. James!"
Chapter completed!
