Chapter 725: Mouth Cannon Upgrade

With Chamberlain and Nelson Jr. in front of them, and the others couldn't be too embarrassed, Iverson and Billups wept and began to fire at Riley as well.

It's interesting now, the game hasn't started yet, the two sides started to talk first, and the bombardment is called a fierce one, which is much more interesting than playing the game.

Riley was still alone at first, but after the whole Warriors team and even the physical trainer went into battle, he couldn't bear it, because the players had fans, and the fans followed him to Twitter, almost blowing him up.

"You think you're the only one who has an apprentice? Bullshit, Lao Tzu has more apprentices! Riley threw away his phone and stopped tweeting, but instead pulled up the phone and started calling one by one.

Now it was interesting, the two bosses who were supposed to fight each other stopped, and the people below them began to fight fiercely.

This makes outsiders have to sigh, damn, there are really generals and commanders, and you can kill and injure opponents without going into battle in person.

Don't think that Riley is not popular, in fact, this handsome guy not only has a good reputation in the sports circle, but he also has a lot of fans in the entertainment industry, because his appearance, dress and hairstyle are very similar to a generation of actor Al Pacino.

There have always been many supporters of Riley, especially those who appreciate Riley's perfectionism and rigor in his military management.

Riley always requires his disciples to the most perfect standards, and the regular season is played in the playoffs, so the Lakers in the 80s can dominate the West in the regular season 9 times, and Riley is an All-Star coach almost every year, so that the NBA has to introduce the "Riley Rule": the same coach must not coach the All-Star Game for 2 consecutive years.

Wade, as the number one general under Riley now, has to charge ahead, not to mention that Riley is very good at using words to motivate this technique, he called Wade and only said one sentence: "Jordan never remains silent when Zen master Jackson is attacked." ”

As we all know, Riley has been very important to Wade from the beginning, and after Wade's rookie season playoff defeat to the Hornets, Riley, who has always had a "Jordan feeling" in his heart, bluntly said that Wade has a killer instinct, much like Jordan.

For Riley, the more important he is, the more he likes to train him to open a small stove.

In order to sharpen Wade, Riley even assigned Spoelstra, who had just turned from video editor to assistant coach at the time, to be in charge of special training for Wade.

It was also after Riley made many small starts that Wade was able to leap forward step by step in the first three years of his career: he led the team to the semifinals in the first year, was promoted to the Eastern All-Star starting guard in the second year, entered the top five in the scoring list, and led the team to win the championship in the third year.

It is worth mentioning that in the 2006 finals, the Heat returned to Miami with a score of 0-2, and the whole team was a little discouraged.

At this time, Riley pointed to the Jordan jersey hanging over the American Airlines Center and said, "I know that if I have Michael Jordan now, I will definitely win it back." After speaking, he stared at Wade.

That night, Wade practiced in the gym until 2 a.m. before returning home.

As you know, not only Riley has a Jordan complex, but Wade, a Chicagoan, has dreamed of being Jordan since he was a child.

In the end, Wade really possessed Jordan in the last four games, and he averaged 39 per game in the last four games. 3 points, 8. 3 rebounds, 3. 5 assists, 2. 8 steals, 1. 0 closures. After winning the championship, Riley shouted: "Wade tonight is Jordan, but he is 5 centimeters shorter than Jordan." ”

So, after receiving a call from Riley, Wade was in good spirits again.

In terms of strict governance, Nelson Sr. is undoubtedly Riley's counterpart, he likes to give stars a lot of freedom to play at will during the regular season, even if they lose because of this, he doesn't care, and even regularly arranges for stars to rotate, Iverson and Billups didn't play in the last game.

Wade is also a smart guy, so he attacked from that, tweeting: "Some people can win championships, but that's not his credit, he's just a superstar nanny and not a master tactician." A manager who is too indulgent to his stars is not a good manager, and Mr. Riley wins in this regard! ”

Seeing Wade's reply, old Nelson sneered, and he said to his subordinates: "Don't pay attention to this kid who doesn't know what to do, follow Riley, sooner or later he will cry!" I bet this kid's body is finished, his peak is over! ”

Chamberlain acknowledges this, and Riley has high expectations for Wade, who has been assigned a higher intensity of training from 2006-07 to 2007-08, both seasons in which Wade suffered frequent injuries. This is of course due to his excessive use of "Wade Wrestling" in the previous competition, but also because Riley blindly increased the amount in the devil's training.

Soon, Twitter was lively, and the old Nelson has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and has his own hometown background in the Green Shirts, Bucks, Mavericks, etc. Riley is not inferior to him in this regard, and he also created the peak years of the Lakers and Knicks.

As a result, the former stars of these teams began to talk about the old coach, and now it is a little difficult for the Knicks to do, because the old Nelson has also coached the Knicks.

All of a sudden, there was a storm on Twitter, with Magic Johnson, Worthy, Abdul-Jabbar, Ewing, Oakley and other famous players running out, and Nelson Sr. also had Richmond's, Chris Mullin, Nowitzki and Nash to help.

In addition, the appearance of another character helped bring this Twitter verbal cannon war to a climax: O'Neal, the king of topics, has joined the war!

The shark-slashing tactic that made O'Neal's career status so big was invented by Nelson Sr., and after this theory was proposed, teams around the league used this tactic against O'Neal.

For this reason, O'Neill pointed out that the old Nelson's tricks were despicable and completely clown's behavior. In this way, O'Neal and Nelson Sr. should not have a good relationship, and he won the championship in 2006 with the Heat, so it is right that he and Riley should have a good relationship.

But this is a misunderstanding, O'Neill has a good relationship with Nelson Sr., and his relationship with Riley is still very stiff.

This is because when Nelson Sr. was diagnosed with prostate cancer and returned to the game after surgery, just in time for the game against the Lakers, Nelson Sr. wore the red nose used by the clown, because O'Neal said he was a clown. O'Neal laughed, took off the red nose and put it on his nose, and told SΓΉ Nelson Sr., you just did what a manager should do, but I was the clown.

When it comes to the love-hate relationship between O'Neill and Riley, it's a long run, and there are so many twists and turns that you could write a book.

In fact, as early as the Sharks' rookie season, Riley and the Sharks didn't like each other. In the 1992-93 season, the Knicks had a much better record than the Magic, but the rookie sharks beat Ewing to be selected as an All-Star starter.

Riley was unhappy, believing that it would be a blasphemy against basketball to let a rookie who doesn't take the game seriously and only grandstands on the head of a hard-working, playing-playing superstar.

As the Eastern Conference All-Star coach, Riley only gave the starting Sharks 25 minutes in the All-Name Game that year, which made the Sharks very unhappy, and the two staged a war of words afterwards. Riley mocked the sharks for being too lazy: "The NBA is never short of talent, but some people regard all the fat they have as part of their talent. Without the right attitude, talent alone will never win the championship. ”

In his early years, the Sharks had a lot of verbal fights with Riley, and Riley had always been tired of O'Neal's attitude of only showing off his talent and not training hard.

O'Neal, on the other hand, sarcastically mocked Riley for training every day but not seeing them win the championship. In 1995, the Knicks once planned to trade Ewing for O'Neal, but Riley refused to comply and turned against the top management, and eventually left Miami.

Here is an explanation, Riley and Nelson Sr. were both on the Knicks back then, and it was Nelson Sr. who advocated replacing Ewing for O'Neal.

All in all, because he was complained about by Riley in his early years, after the Lakers won the championship, O'Neal complained about Riley in his autobiography: I will never play for Pat Riley in my life! He was upset when I was first named an All-Star, he only gave me 25 minutes, and he was going to force a veteran like me to train for five hours a day when I was almost 30 years old. For me, two hours of training is enough!

In addition, in 2005, O'Neal traveled east to Miami, and at first the team was coached by Van Gundy, when the Sharks almost won the MVP, and Van Gundy's request to him was to let him put all his energy and body on the court, and just pretend on the training court.

But then, after Riley became manager, the Sharks were forced to train harder, but his numbers dropped to a new career low in an instant. What's more, the Sharks' threat dropped dramatically: he managed to complete Riley's assigned amount of training on the training ground, but when he stepped onto the field, he felt more powerless than everβ€”the old shark was tired.

In addition to the problem with physical reserves, the fat standard also gave Shaq a headache. After a few rounds of arguing, Riley gave the "green light" as long as the content was below 13 percent. Shaq, who had reduced his fat content, began to suffer from injuries: "My masseur, Andy Garcia, said that the Heat had made me too skinny and that I couldn't withstand the impact of my opponent on the court like I used to. ”

After winning the championship, the Heat's players reached a kind of physical limit, so the following season the Heat suffered a series of injuries, and the 2007 playoffs were ruined.

Wade was injured again at the start of the 2007-08 season, followed by a Shark injury at the end of December. No matter what the Heat tried to do, they couldn't find out the root cause of the shark's sore thigh, so Riley decided that the shark was lazy and cheating.

The contradiction eventually erupted. During a training session in February 2008, when Riley and "White Chocolate" got into an argument over training, the shark tried to persuade him to fight, and Riley's spearhead suddenly turned to the shark: if you don't like it, you can get out of here. Riley and the shark exchanged foul mouths and shoved each other's chests. After that conflict, the shark was immediately sent away.

It can be seen from this that O'Neill and Riley have a lot of deals, there was no chance before, the two of them didn't know each other, but this time there was a chance, O'Neill was like a shark that smelled blood, and Piapia ran out.

O'Neal is the king of the end of the conversation, and he asked the stars who voiced their opinions, asking: "If you go back in time and regain your rookie status, would you rather play under Coach Nelson or be tortured with Riley?" ”

Now the stars are hurting, O'Neal, why are you bastard so serious? Wade hurt the most because the Warriors' players were calling him out on Twitter to tell him the truth.

Needless to say, while there may be a better future with Riley, all players, including Wade, would prefer to follow Nelson Sr.

Old Nelson has countless times more flaws than Riley, this old man likes to be a personal vendetta, has a temperamental temper, is an old tyrant, eats, sleeps, grinds his teeth, and likes to fart when he sits with people, etc.

However, the elder Nelson is righteous and emotional, he likes to enter a team when he has just entered a team to clean the team, once the lineup is run in, he generally does not make substitutions.

At this point, Riley's reputation is far worse.

In the NBA's godfather's business, there are those who are good at appreciating jade - Nelson Sr. is very good at that, there are those who are passionate about team history and cultural heritage - which is the favorite of Popovich and Sloan, and for Pat Riley, he is best at shuffling. Every time the championship was interrupted, he didn't hesitate to dig around and shuffle a stronger hand.

When it comes to treating superstars, Riley has an even worse reputation.

Popovich's approach was to polish off the edges and then redouble the care to prolong his career as long as possible; Zen master Jackson is looking at the king's anger and moving, the emperor star is in trouble, he comes to the door to rescue, and teaches him according to his aptitude to achieve great things; Nelson Sr. has been trying to build a superstar with his own hands.

Compared with them, Riley is undoubtedly more domineering: wherever there is a superstar, he will go to poach, and after three or five years, as soon as the star's state declines, he immediately starts to shuffle the cards and start again!

As soon as O'Neal came out, the stars were dumbfounded, and Riley was furious: it was clear that he had lost the war of words.

So, Riley sneered and threw out another topic: "Old Nelson, if you think you don't rely on Chamberlain, then don't let him play in tonight's game!" ”
