270:Listen, the champion’s heart is beating(1/5)
Haslem was tortured by Leon, and it was like a life and death situation.
After losing 45 pounds in one year, those who didn’t know thought Serena Williams was cheating on her. Haslem’s weight has been changing crazily between two extremes.
You should try to find a middle value.
With such a skinny figure, he would definitely not be able to gain the slightest advantage against Li Ang.
However, despite being knocked down time and time again by Li Ang, the basketball was snatched away time and time again.
But Haslem never had the thought of giving up. After every failure, he would stand up again, walk to Li Ang's side, and continue this confrontation of disparity in strength.
Even though he was bruised and bruised, there was no hesitation.
Although he has been abused, Colangelo has clearly seen the advantages in Haslem.
He is like a second Ben Wallace.
No proud height, no gorgeous skills.
But he relied on his strong toughness and unyielding blue-collar spirit to gain a foothold on the court.
Well, Haslem is not inferior to Ben in everything, at least...
Haslem's shooting is more accurate than Ben's!
Big Ben: Who can’t shoot? Tell me clearly who can’t shoot! I’m an All-Star scorer, and you say I can’t shoot!?
As a blue-collar insider, Haslem is indeed worthy of consideration.
After a group training, Haslem was sweating profusely. He had worked very hard, but the score gap between the two sides was huge, 20 to 3.
In 23 fights, Leon got 20 of them while Haslem only got 3.
Haslem clenched his fists, knowing that he had messed up again. Once again, he lost the chance to be signed by an NBA team.
"It's okay, it's normal to lose to me. After all, I won two rebounding titles as soon as I entered the league, hahahaha!"
Leon patted Haslem on the shoulder and laughed.
The corner of Haslem's mouth twitched, you spent a lot of money just to show off in front of me!
Just when Haslem felt that his door to the NBA had been closed again, Colangelo stepped forward and told Haslem: "You will get a training camp contract, go to Phoenix to prepare!"
"Ah!?" Haslem was ecstatic, damn...can you make money like this?
Can you still make money at 20 to 3?
In fact, with the Suns having Leon and Stoudemire on the front line, Colangelo knows very well that Haslem will not have much playing time next season.
As a substitute who doesn't have much playing time, it's best to get into the groove as soon as you come on. You can play at any time and be excited at any time.
Haslem looks like a guy ready to get excited.
Li Ang looked at Haslem with a smile, don't tell me, this guy really looks like my senior brother.
In this way, the Suns will get another villain.
From the current point of view, Li Ang himself, O'Neal Jr., Raja Bell and Haslem are not good at all.
In this history, if the Spurs dare to do something bad to Nash again...
That might be lively.
Isn’t it a bit unkind to just sign away the future soul of the Heat?
Riley failed to suck blood this summer and was sucked by Leon instead.
At this time, Spoelstra, who is responsible for the training of young players at the Heat, was still thinking that although the Heat did not gain anything this summer, at least he gained Haslem.
It feels so good to have a spare tire~
A few hours later, Spoelstra received a phone call.
When I looked at it, I realized it was Haslem calling.
Look, the licking dog called again. Who doesn't like the feeling of being held in the palm of your hand?
"Hey, what's wrong?" Spoelstra answered the phone.
"Coach, thank you!" Haslem's voice was very excited on the other end of the phone.
Haslem and Spoelstra have known each other for a long time. When the Heat tried out Haslem last summer, it was Spoelstra who personally contacted him.
When Haslem played in the summer league this summer, the head coach of that summer league team was Spoelstra.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about thanking me. I won't wait until you sign with the Heat..."
"Thanks to the coach's cultivation, I have signed a training camp contract with the Suns for the new season! I am going to Phoenix!"
"That's it, very good, very good...ah!?" Spoelstra suddenly reacted, and suddenly felt a green glow on the top of his head.
"Are you going to Phoenix?"
"yes."
"The Suns offered you a training camp contract?"
"Well, coach, don't be too happy for me. I may not be able to stay on the team yet, hehehe."
Spoelstra was speechless. Am I happy? I have high blood pressure!
This ugly Filipino-American never expected that there would be people stealing spare tires these days!
So disrespectful!
Moreover, Spoelstra was curious about how the Suns found Haslem.
As a mediocre undrafted player, Haslem has nothing commendable and is not well-known.
To be honest, if it weren't for Haslem being a local player in Miami, Spoelstra would not have known about him as a person.
As a result, Colangelo traveled all the way from Phoenix to the South Coast just to poach me?
The Suns are so good at intelligence work. They can even find my little spare tire.
Just kidding, don’t look at who the current spy chief of the Suns is.
After poaching Haslem, the secret service leader suggested someone to Colangelo who could be signed naked at a low price.
Colangelo swallowed when he heard the name.
He suddenly felt that Li Ang was not forming a basketball team.
You really want to set up a Bad Boys Legion office in Phoenix!
Colangelo is a little worried. To be honest, he still cares about the team's image.
Our Phoenix team needs to be gorgeous and stylish.
But it can't be like a piston, which can be as big as water when it is pulled out.
But right now, the person Li Ang was talking about is exactly the right person.
There was no other way, so that afternoon, Colangelo called that person.
Stephen Jackson was a little surprised: "Leon asked me by name?"
Stephen Jackson did not receive a contract extension from the Spurs after his contract expired this season.
It's not that the Spurs don't want to renew, it's mainly that the Spurs now have two maximum salaries, and the financial pressure is indeed a bit high.
The Spurs boss is not a matter of whether he has something to offer, he is really poor!
Stephen Jackson feels that his scoring average last season was in double digits, and his defensive performance was also good.
No matter what, you have to give me one or two million a year.
Then, Wu Sheng made a mistake that most men make - he overestimated himself.
Many men think they are very good, but when they go to take a bath and take care of themselves, they are halfway through it and they can no longer stand it.
Many men think they are worth a lot, but when it comes to the free agent market, they laugh to death and no one cares about you!
Wu Sheng Jackson is a little bit neither good nor good. If a strong team wants him to be a role player, he will definitely not pay a high price.
If a weak team wants him, they won't let him be their core, let alone pay a high price.
What's more, Jackson is still a problem player and has never stopped having trouble off the court.
When his uncle found out that there was a gun in the car, his defense of "I don't even know how to shoot" became a joke for a while.
Because this is as false as Li Ang saying, "If you add one more, I won't be able to fight well."
Therefore, after going around in the free agent market, Wu Sheng found that the Atlanta Hawks were the most willing to pay. However, even the Hawks were only willing to give Jackson 1 million a year.
Jackson almost realized the reality and signed with the Eagles, when he received a call from Colangelo.
Colangelo is willing to pay an extra 500,000 to allow Jackson to come to Phoenix to assist Leon.
Although Savo is not willing to spend money on role players, the price of 1.5 million is still acceptable to Savo.
I have spent all four small goals and signed two maximum salaries. Is there still a shortfall of 1.5 million?
Jackson thought about it. In the Hawks, he could get more shots, produce better data, and maybe get a big contract next year.
To be continued...
