Aggrieved, weak, pitiful, and helpless.

In July, in this Leo season, O'Neal's chest is as uncomfortable as if someone is stabbing it with ten thousand needles.

Although in the finals that just ended not long ago, O'Neal himself admitted that his performance was a bit unsatisfactory.

However, as the first inside player in NBA history to achieve a triple-double average in the regular season...

Do you know how hard he played throughout the 2005/06 season in order to be able to meet a big contract that will allow him to enjoy his old age after the end of his contract year?

No!

You don't know!

You don't care either!

"Woooooooooooooooooo, Su, my enthusiasm for basketball is almost exhausted.

No... No matter what Pat says next, I will not accept the offer given to me by the Heat!"

On that day, when Su Feng, who was far away in Las Vegas, received a call from O'Neal...

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, Su Feng could feel the fat-headed fish's heart-wrenching mood from the phone.

And at this moment...

Although Su Feng wanted to tell O'Neal that Miami will always be his home...

But after sighing, Su Feng said to O'Neal: "Shake, do you have any plans next?"

And hearing this...

O'Neal was so anxious at that time!

Because no matter what, in O'Neal's opinion, he has no reason to leave the team when the Heat is about to reach a three-game winning streak.

But.......

Listen to the tone of Brother Feng’s introduction just now...

Brother Feng, have you no longer loved your cute brother Shaq?

"Su...I actually...I don't actually have to get such a high salary.

But this year's quotation for Wupi...

To be honest, I can't accept it." O'Neal said to Su Feng on the phone.

And originally, Su Feng, who thought O'Neal had made up his mind to leave the Heat...

I also heard a turning point from O'Neal's words.

only.......

Such a turning point is somewhat helpless and sad.

Because you dare to imagine...

A player like O'Neal who is very concerned about face now has to ask for a player who is actually younger than him in terms of seniority in order to stay with the Heat with a decent degree?

Don’t look at how O’Neal often jokes that Su Feng is his brother...

But Su Feng knew very well that it was just because O'Neal didn't want to miss the last chance of his career again.

After learning some details of his contract renewal from O'Neal, Su Feng knew...

The reason why Riley dares to bargain like this is precisely because Riley is sure that O'Neal has no way to go except stay with the Heat this summer.

Because O'Neal is not Webber after all...

So, in Riley's opinion, he has always been very proud of his appearance, it is impossible for him to choose other teams at the moment.

After getting to know O'Neal's character, Riley's attributes that are famous for his careful calculations...

To put it bluntly, you can't blame Riley for being ruthless.

Because this is the NBA.

Is there any problem with Riley's approach to the Heat?

You know, Su Feng will usher in his contract year next year.

So Riley would not be able to provide O'Neal with a long contract.

Because in that case, in Riley's eyes, the Heat will lock their future.

So including when signing Starkhouse before...

On the surface, Riley had been regretting that he had not signed Starkhouse for a few years when communicating with Su Feng.

But in fact...

If Riley was preparing to provide Starkhouse with a long contract from the beginning, how could he have no emergency plans when negotiating with Jeff Schultz?

Wake up...

Jettamo, Pat Riley.

A man nicknamed "The God's Consort".

In Su Feng's eyes, you have to invite Jerry West at least to compare with the basketball godfather in the team building.

So, no matter what perspective you look at it...

Riley's choices this summer are all maximizing the Heat's perspective and interests.

so......

Su Feng sighed before.

Also sighing...

He and Riley were ultimately out of the way to retire.

Admittedly.

Riley's choice is very correct.

However, in Su Feng's opinion, in the NBA world...

If you choose everything with interests as the first consideration, how can Su Feng ensure that at the age of 35 or 40, he will not become the sardine abandoned by the Heat?

So, since Riley chose to prioritize the interests of the Heat this time.

Then why can't Su Feng take his personal interests first?

Could it be that if Su Feng changes his team, he has no confidence to continue to attack the NBA championship?

Not long ago, in the 2005/06 season review program, Barkley actually reminded the Heat and Riley.

That's...

To Philadelphia, Toronto, Miami...

These cities have never made Su Feng successful.

It is Su Feng who made these cities.

But it's a pity...

In the view of Riley, who is very careful in his calculations, the first thing he needs to consider at the moment is how the Heat will continue to build a team around Su Feng after the Heat has reached its dynasty.

Rather than giving these meritorious players who established the dynasty with Su Feng a decent contract.

"Miami, are you really planning to not pay the super luxury tax once?"

In addition, unlike leaving the Raptors, if Su Feng wanted to leave Toronto, it was because Toronto was relatively remote, which was not conducive to his subsequent development...

Now, before his "Decision 2" arrived, he felt what the world was like from O'Neal's personal experience.

On the other side of the phone, after not waiting for Su Feng's reply for a long time, O'Neal, who mistakenly thought that Su Feng really planned to abandon himself, the Galaxy Battleship of the Heat, and let him return to the sea, also hurriedly revealed his bottom line to Su Feng, "Su, I can't accept a one-year short appointment...

but.......

But at least, I hope that this year's short contract will be worthy of my value."

Look, I'm so anxious about this child!

On the phone, after a pause, Su Feng said to O'Neal: "Shake, are you willing to trust me once?"

Hearing this, after nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, O'Neal immediately said: "Of course I do, Su!

Don’t say once, even ten or a hundred times, I’m willing to believe you!”

“That’s fine.

Listen to me, because now I am preparing for the upcoming World Championships in Las Vegas...

So when I officially get married with Britney in September, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Looking at the sun hanging above the sky outside the window, Su Feng, who has rarely made promises to others since entering the league, except Kobe, promised O'Neal on this day.

“Shake, I still say the same thing……

From the moment you made up your mind to assist me, we were destined to do a big career in the NBA together!

Trust me, it will not be one, nor two.
