Chapter 172 The old, the old, the small
If Angie got Weber, it might be more of a choice for the veteran. Although the strength of the Celtics is not comparable to that of the Pistons, it is always more reliable than those in New York, and they are recovering.
In addition, Webber is interested in Boston's vitality, especially the bald wild boy, so he would rather refuse the Pistons' recruitment and the contract that New York might have issued, and resolutely defected to the Celtics.
Moreover, when signing the contract, Weber had already stated that if there were no injuries, he and Anji hoped that this cooperation would last until the day they retired, which was a promise.
Although no one can predict what will happen in the future and whether this kind of cooperation will change, Weber is here after all. The rich experience he can bring to the team may benefit those small animals.
At least when Chen Feng saw Weber, he immediately pulled the former opponent away with his arms around him.
In the confrontation between the two people, Chen Feng did not forget how he was successfully singles by Weber. Although the final result was that the team won, this old guy still had an advantage in the one-on-one fight.
At least in terms of technical aspects, Weber plays more smoothly on his back-to-back singles or using his footsteps at the basket than Chen Feng's wild path. There are so many things he can teach this kid.
Even Jefferson took the initiative to say hello when he saw Weber. I guess this big guy who was silent could understand that he had another powerful helper this time.
Webber's arrival made the Boston media very excited. They never dreamed that such an All-Star power forward would sign the Celtics on the terms of a veteran, which was simply a pie from the sky!
And he grabbed this guy in the competition with the Pistons, and Anji immediately turned into a god.
However, compared to dealing with Weber, Angie's sudden move to Boston made many people shocked. They didn't expect that Angie would actually deal with such an old guy.
You know, that guy was not enough to support his family a year ago, without an annual salary of 10 million US dollars.
The guy who was unable to handle the Timberwolves in three years and 21 million was simply solved by Anji for two million. Murphy looked at Anji with such a strange look.
"Do you think this guy has an affair with Ratrill? Otherwise, there is no reason. If you don't get the salary you were originally worth seven million, you have to come to Boston alive? Is it so attractive here?"
Of course, Murphy must have muttered very quietly when he said these words, and he didn't want Angie to hear them.
If that guy hears it, maybe he will be turned away if he wants to interview some insider information in the future.
The NBA is not short of homosexuality, but neither Angie nor Ratriel Spreeville does not have this hobby, at least there is absolutely no strong love in their eyes.
Well, these two guys won't practice any hand-on-handed hand, or love-loving knife.
The reason why Spreville chose Boston is not difficult to understand. He was waiting for a price for the Timberwolves, and he was in good shape in the game, and he also thought he could be worth the value.
Seven million yuan in salary for a year? In the view of Spreville, who was in the limelight at the time, it was him and Kassel who helped Garnett reach the Western Conference Finals in 2003-04. If it weren't for them, the Timberwolves would still be in the first round!
Moreover, in the 2004-05 season, it was Spreeville and Kassel who had a very unhappy relationship with the Timberwolves' management due to contract issues that made Garnett not even enter the playoffs after a final draw.
It is precisely because of this confidence that Spreville dared to shout to the Timberwolves management, "The annual salary is only 10 million, and I will never sign a contract. Seven million? I am not enough to support my family!"
But everyone knows what happened later. The Timberwolves boss is not used to anyone's faults. Don't you want to sign? Then don't sign, and they 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.
I'm afraid few people could have expected such a straightforward approach, so Spreville's salary requirement has become a joke in the league, and many people are waiting to see his jokes.
Not to mention, Spreville was really cruel. He simply gave up his pick and stopped fighting and drove around in his luxury yacht. This trip took more than a year.
It was not that there were teams who had his ideas during this period. But whether it was Houston or his old club, New York, most of them were only willing to pay him a veteran clause.
This made Spreville even more annoyed. I don’t sign a salary of 7 million yuan? You dare to open your mouth with such a little money? Don’t beat me! One million yuan is like picking up a bargain? I really think I’m a rotten cabbage that I can’t sell!?
Anyway, Spreville has been idle for more than a year, and this old guy doesn't want to play basketball, but he just can't get enough face, and he doesn't want to be considered as a shame to climb back.
It was even more embarrassing to reduce his value than to sign a contract with the Timberwolves when he turned around, so he simply stopped and opened a creative factory next to Los Angeles, which was specifically responsible for modifying various vehicles.
However, the days without the ball were enough to make Spreeville upset, otherwise he wouldn't have driven his yacht out for fun, but this kind of life would be very boring if he was too much.
It can only be said that Anji is lucky enough. If Spreville, who is already 36, is still so hungry and does not return to the arena, he will be almost a historical relic, and Anji appears just right.
It was probably because of Spreville's bad temper. After being turned away for several consecutive times, no one had ever looked for him after the start of the season, and Anji 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 Spreville himself knew that if he stayed for another half a year and did not participate in the official competition, he would have completely bid farewell to the NBA arena.
This was a hit and it happened. Although Spreville had the conditions, he had restrained his temper and did not bargain with Rivers or Angie more.
Two million dollars a year, Spreville finally spoke no big talk. He only had two million dollars, but he just wanted to tell those who tried to sign him with veteran terms. I was not that cheap!
Anji can only say that this proud old guy is too eager to live with face, but he can only make a profit of this cheapness. No one could have thought that Boston could easily deal with this difficult madman.
However, not everyone thinks that Angie's three signings are a big profit. Maybe Webber is worth the money, but most people have a scrutiny attitude towards Spreville and Nowak.
Needless to say, Novak is a rookie after all, and he has never played any game in the early stage of the season. Even Anji himself is unsure whether this guy can play his due role.
Rivers had only seen some of the video materials that Tacanian gave him, and had a little understanding of Nowak's performance in college. Although he didn't know how to do the actual combat, this type was what he needed.
He is 2.08 meters tall and is a pitcher who is used to floating on the periphery and suddenly hitting cold arrows. When he first arrived at the team to participate in the first confrontation training, the guy scored four three-pointers from outside the three-point line.
Although I don't know what kind of performance you will perform after playing, Rivers knows what kind of space he can create for this little guy. All this kind of pitcher needs is an open space that can be played comfortably.
Rondo's almost crazy assist idea is so in line with this kind of pitcher who needs to be given a mobile phone.
In addition, Jefferson and Chen Feng provide him with rebounding guarantees in the interior. Novak 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 about to be ruined by the Rockets, but Rivers is confident that this little guy will find his place in the Celtics.
Novak was not the focus of media attention. Compared with him, the old lunatic with a small braid is the big trouble that everyone is worried about.
Even Murphy said in private that Spreville has been playing in the NBA for so many years, and his bad temper is obvious to all. Putting aside the glorious deeds of his squeezing the coach's neck, he is a thorn in the New York Knicks or the Minnesota Timberwolves, and ordinary people cannot conquer this great god at all.
The Boston media did not naively think that Rivers, who had just coached the Celtics for two or three seasons, could handle this person. At least at the press conference, Sprewell still looked rebellious.
But what others didn't expect was that Auerbach, who had been at home for a long time, had already seen this veteran with a bad temper in advance before the media met Spreville.
Anyway, no one knew what they were talking about. When he walked out of Angie's office, the unruly guy had a showdown with Rivers. He would obey the head coach's decision, including playing time.
Other teams may have to worry about how to tame this arrogant lunatic, but they all forgot who is the real boss in Boston's three-point land.
There is that old guy who holds a cigar when he’s fine, who can’t open his eyes make any waves?
Three deals, two old and one young, this lineup is a bit unreliable in anyone's opinion.
At least for the Celtic competitors, what kind of chemical reaction can these old, young, and they really have when they pinch together? Can Rivers ensure that he can play with those successful veterans?
Anyway, after the transaction, the Celtics were questioned in the minds of many people.
Everyone was waiting to see what Anji's long-sleeved dancer was...
