Warrior, this long-lived ship, Bob Myers may be tired of driving. In recent years, he knocked on the ship and tried to fill the loopholes. Sometimes he could not even feel the taste of taking off the highest honor. Even with seemingly unlimited resources in his hand, he had a premonition that the next place to be chiseled might be his turn. Luxury after-tax costs may exceed 0.4 billion dollars in the lineup, suffering from injuries to the core of getting older and older, and the head coach who has a one-year contract to expire, not to mention himself who is facing renewal this summer, this seemed to remind miles that the voyage was almost at the end. But this is not a pity. On the contrary, Miles probably never thought of having a chance to see the bustling scenery along the way before boarding the Warrior ship. Miles was born in the Bay Area and was a warrior fan since childhood. “Run TMC” was his belief in high school. Although he also joined the school team because of his love of playing basketball, his knowledge of his talent at least also made him understand that he must not be able to walk on the road of professional basketball. Near graduation, only one college expressed the invitation intention, and he didn’t consider it at all. However, the day he visited UCLA in 1993-that is, the year of his senior year-completely changed his fate. Later, brown bear of his teammates also joked that miles’s roller coaster-like school basketball career was almost comparable to forrest gump, and no one could guess what would be in the next box of chocolates he opened, therefore, he also had the nickname “Forrest Gump. Miles in high school At that time, Myers had considered giving up basketball to train rowing, but when he was wandering in various sports departments of UCLA, he happened to meet Steve Lavin, the third teaching assistant of the famous Brown Bear team. Even more coincidentally, Lavin and Lieutenant Colonel Myers basketball coach were acquaintances. After they broke through, Lavin suggested that Myers simply come to UCLA for trial, even if the hope of getting a basketball scholarship was slim, but it should be no problem from sparring. Under this relationship, Myers made up his mind to apply for UCLA, majoring in business and economics, and made plans for four years of training with the school team. The excellent academic performance and the attitude of being kind to others and diligent and modest made miles soon become the mascot of the school team. UCLA marching band even created a cheer call sign for him alone. In the sophomore season from 1994 to 95, Miles played an average of 1.8 minutes, and finally contributed to the score in the last regular season. The average score of the whole season was only 0.3 points, but he miraculously won the sports scholarship offered by UCLA. That is, such a mascot not only won the championship with the brown bear team, but also appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated: that was the moment when he held up his team friend TEUs-Edney who hit the winning ball in the last 4.8 seconds to celebrate. It’s a pity that I didn’t show my face He, who guarded the water dispenser, enjoyed all the champion treatment-accepting president clinton’s visit to the white house, talking and laughing with jay leno, the host of the talk show, and traveling with mickey mouse on the same boat at the grand parade celebration of disney. With incredible luck, Miles never stopped trying. By the junior season, he had successfully increased his muscles by 11 kilograms, and his head had grown to 2 meters 01. It was the first time he started (“this is the experience I can show off with my children and grandchildren when I am old”), the highest score in a single game was 20 points, enjoying the pleasure of the whole team, even for a short time. Miles of UCLA Although it was impossible to play in NBA, Harrick, the brown bear coach who watched him grow up all the way, showed him a clear way after Miles graduated, he was recommended to Arne-terham, a sports agent in the sun, as an intern, and got the opportunity to enter Wasserman Media Group, a sports brokerage giant. He worked as a broker for five years, acting as an agent for more than 20 players, handling a total contract of nearly 0.6 billion dollars, and successfully established himself in NBA business with excellent negotiation ability. Besides, in addition to his intensive work, he also attended night school in Los Angeles and got a law degree. In the Bay area of his hometown, Joe Lake, a warrior who just threw a record $0.45 billion to buy, invited 36-year-old Miles to his command, as the assistant of general manager. Miles was a pioneer of that era when he switched from a sports agent to an executive. Larry Riley, the general manager of warriors at that time, worked as an executive in NBA for more than 20 years and prepared to let Miles take over after retirement. No one expected that the management position of the warrior seemed to be tailored for miles. He was so consistent with the high-level concept led by Lake cloth that only one year later, lake Bu decided to let him replace Riley as the second youngest general manager in NBA. Larry Riley (left), the guide of miles, was also the person he chose Curry for the Warriors. In warriors, Miles’s success is accompanied by amazing good luck. After taking office, his actions were vigorous: sending away his former customers, dorell-white, who once set a three-point record for young pioneer team history single season in warriors (years later, white returned to the bay area TV station to engage in competition analysis related to warriors, and miles’s relationship has blossomed), in exchange for Jarret Jack, the latter became his bargaining chip for Andre igodala. Before being sent away, White averaged 16.4 points per game, hitting 194 points in a single season, ranking first in NBA at that time. The first time he led the talent show, he chose Drummond Green; At the same time, he had to take into account the renewal negotiations with Stephen Curry-Curry was not the current curry at that time, ankle injuries greatly affected his state and prospects, and warriors were very hesitant about how much bet they should make for him. At the beginning, Miles offered an offer of 8 million annual salary, and Curry’s broker refused decisively. It was only after the Nuggets first controlled by Wei taillusen won 4 years and 48 million years, that the Warriors raised their annual salary to 11 million, which was equivalent to the same Tyrek Evans of curry. At that time, the top salary that library could get was 4 years, 61 million years, or 5 years, 78 million years (the renewal price of james harden in that year), but he accepted the renewal of 4 years, 44 million years. Without this contract, the big ship of the warrior dynasty must not be able to walk. Curry himself later said that this “may be the most cost-effective renewal in NBA history. The next summer, Miles seized another good opportunity: when he learned that igodala was interested in Warriors, he acted decisively and gave the lineup a change of blood. He said that it was his most difficult decision, but it was also a major turning point. With igodala, he really felt that the warriors would win the championship. At that time, myers had conquered the media in the bay area and was praised as “the warrior who would not rob the board and shoot is super huge”; Marcus thompson ii, the old pencil holder of the warrior, excitedly wrote in the column: “Returning to the playoffs is just the beginning!” During the off-season in 2014, Wushen revealed that Kevin Loew was determined to leave the forest Wolf and detonate the free market. There was news immediately that the Warriors were interested in Loff, and the Bay Area was in panic and full of expectations, even if it meant putting the core of Clay Thompson on the shelves. Later, Marcus found out the internal trend of the team and claimed that Clay was actually not for sale. Because of the rejection of the transaction, the management led by Miles was once criticized. However, there is a saying that myers has actually decided to send clay away, but jerry west, who has a very special identity and status, firmly opposed it. Miles thought twice before dispelling the idea. Another important decision of miles is to invite Cole. Anyway, the warrior renewed clay at the price of 4 years and 70 million that summer; A year later, he gave a dream for 5 years and 82 million years. Curry’s annual salary ranking declined all the way, only ranking fifth in the 2015-16 season when they set a 73-win record. By the summer of 2016, Miles had ushered in another fatalistic turning point. The new labor agreement came into effect and the wage cap exploded. He was also promoted to president of basketball operations. Coupled with the reversed ending in the Warriors finals, he had the right time and place, so that Kevin Durant only listened to him for ten minutes, interrupted the recruitment meeting and nodded to join the Warriors. In this way, Miles created a horrible combination of Giants with the same operation in just four years. But after all, if the Warriors gave Curry a contract with a higher annual salary of three or five years, everything would be empty talk. It’s hard to say whether Miles really has the ability to calculate one step or three, or whether fate is too fond of him. So he said, “No one can pack a ticket for success, but you can strive to earn the qualification for success.” The peak of the dynasty is different, but the downhill after the peak is similar every time. More and more superstars, higher expectations and more attention will only squeeze everyone’s space smaller and smaller, and the balance will inevitably be broken. Durant was not satisfied with the Bay area all the time. It seemed that the warrior’s own philosophy was not very useful. Therefore, after two consecutive championships, the crisis was brewing rapidly, which cost miles a lot of effort. Whether chasing dreams and scolding Durant angrily, Durant was injured later, and even recently chasing dreams and beating Poole, as well as leaking secrets of no less bad nature than this, Myers was the one who was pushed to the public, and his speeches also stopped the melon-eating masses who were eager to explore the inside, holding the dressing room decent. Chasing Dreams is one of the two partners that Miles has the best relationship with in the dressing room (the other is naturally curry). It is not difficult to settle his troubles. But durant was different. He was an outsider and was injured in the battle after being sprayed in the bay area for a whole year, causing the achilles tendon to tear, public opinion turned instantly, and warriors (including the management and the media in the whole bay area) it has become the point of thousands of people. Miles was the person who officially announced the news. He had tears in his eyes at the beginning of the press conference and took out his impeccable public relations ability, blaming himself for all the blame. After the time changed, he couldn’t help feeling half-truth and half-false, saying that Durant had not enjoyed the happiness of the competition when the Warriors won the championship for the last time. But this statement was hit in the face by Durant, the King of twitter. Think again about Durant and dream-chasing shaking hands and talking, throwing the pots that spray each other in public to miles and Steve Cole. I can only say that I am in the jianghu, the ability to open your eyes and talk nonsense is probably an essential skill, which is applicable to both players and presidents-not to mention the boss, of course, in lake, bu claimed that the rhetoric of myers’s salary “the top three in the industry” was accused of lying, which also became one of the main reasons for the deadlock in the negotiation between myers and warriors. After working for warriors for so many years, myers never tore his face with anyone. He was good at listening and communicating and was willing to think from the standpoint of others. Even demus-kaoxins had asked him privately about soul torture, ask him why he can’t work again in NBA. He just can’t be the godfather of warriors. Lake he was not regarded as a partner but just an employee. After all, in NBA, the era of godfather has long ended. Warriors boss Lake cloth At the beginning of this year, even if the record was not ideal and there were a lot of situations, myers had no time to open up a new sideline and launched his own podcasting program Lead By Example. He did not admit that he had a problem with warriors, nor did he consider changing careers. He only started the program because he was “curious” about the industry “. The first guest of the program was curry, and then the reserved guests were california governor newson, disney CEO aige, NBA president xiao hua, duke legendary handsome old k, and one of the most trusted partners cole. It seems that milestone of today’s political, commercial and literary circles may not be a problem. Naturally, some people suspect that he may have decided to go-not only to leave the Warriors, but also to leave the entire NBA and change a new world. Over the past years, whenever the warrior’s backyard caught fire, he was the key coolant. Now it’s finally his turn, but it’s hard to say who else can “put out the fire. The smoke of the dynasty gradually dispersed, and everything seemed to come to the time when the sword was seen. From miles to Cole and even to Curry, maybe everyone is thinking about what is the most perfect last dance. Who can dream a song for one life? Where is the “beginning of the end” of the warrior dynasty? After the wind and rain in the past few years, the answer may have become clearer.
