One-year reconstruction plan! How did Pat Riley turn the Heat into a champion at the speed of light?

Pat Riley, president of Miami Heat, wears a suit and has a unique hairstyle, which is his long-term impression of Hollywood. But everyone who has worked with him for a long time knows that under the seemingly serious appearance, there is an amiable inner.

Patrelli has been rolling in the basketball circle almost all his life, but when he was young, he rolled in the army for many years and experienced the Vietnam War. Although he will not rule the team with the army, he hopes to have similar strict discipline and firm belief.

George patton, an American national hero, once said that an accurate and good plan is far better than an excellent plan. This is exactly what Pat Riley believed. When we make a plan, we will carry it through.

The Heat never believed in the three-year reconstruction plan.

In the past 10- 15 season, many young NBA managers thought it would take at least three years to rebuild the team. Many teams' reconstruction plans are progressing slowly. In recent years, the most famous thing is the belief process of Philadelphia 76ers. It took former general manager Sam Hsin five years to return to the playoffs.

Patrick Riley doesn't believe this. After taking over the Heat 25 years ago, he has been building a team according to the one-year restructuring plan.

In the 20 18- 19 season, the Heat only scored 39 wins and 43 losses, which was the third time since the last 17 season that the winning percentage was below 50%. The other two were Wade's absence due to injury and chris bosh's withdrawal due to thrombosis.

Pat Riley fired nine players by trading (Whiteside, tyler johnson, james johnson, josh richardson, wayne ellington), downsizing (Ryan Anderson, Dion Witsey) and not renewing their contracts, and gained many current players in the same way. The situation of each team is different, but many bosses will ask us why we can't do it when they see the Heat deal. A team management, who asked not to be named, said that the Heat never rebuilt, but constantly reorganized. Another management also believes that the Heat has created a winning culture, and the way to win in the NBA is still unclear, but the Heat can always return to winning ranks as soon as possible.

Patrick Riley revealed a similar concept after lebron james's 20 16. We are now in reconstruction, not reorganization, but reconstruction doesn't mean that we can't win the game and win the playoffs. We also want to win in reconstruction.

The success of the Heat's reorganization this season is also far from the way many strong teams in the league build their teams. For example, the Celtics have accumulated their talents in the process of reconstruction to become a strong team.

In the playoffs, the Jazz, Nuggets, Grizzlies, 76ers, Bucks and other teams have accumulated their talents through the draft after years of reconstruction. In the past 18 years, the Heat only had the top nine draft players, and the highest pick in the current lineup is andre iguodala (the ninth pick in 2004).

Heat's strategy has always been to maintain the best competitiveness. League executives said that some teams will choose to rebuild by breaking big, but even if they choose super talents, it will take about three to five years to return to the playoffs.

It has always been my goal to reach the playoffs. Playoffs can give young players great stimulation, so they have a sense of self-improvement. Riley said.

Of course, Riley's team-building strategy will often cause great changes or losses to the team. He chases superstars in the free market almost every year, even if there is no salary space, just as there is not enough salary space when signing jimmy butler, which is similar to getting Iguodala and Claude before the deadline.

The success of this strategy is partly attributed to the team's scouts and player development system. Patrelli's daring to let some players go is based on the great progress made by some midstream players, such as Bam Adebayor and Tail 6, and the excavation and reuse of unknown players, such as Duncan Robinson and kendrick Nunn.

The reason why the Heat succeeded in getting Butler was that josh richardson, who got the 40th overall pick, had the opportunity to start a four-way deal by developing it into a top-level green leaf in 3D.

Patrick Riley and head coach Spock are very willing to give players a chance, which depends on their ability rather than their background. Adebayor replaced Whiteside last season, Nunn, who failed in the draft, became the starting player this season, Duncan Robinson was trained from the Development League, and rookie Taylor Shiloh was the key to defeating the Bucks in the second round.

But for the same reason, Patrick Riley can trade josh richardson. He has successfully trained and other young players are also his chips. If he has a chance to get other star players, he will definitely do it. This is Patrick Riley's trading style.

Pat Riley is not the only general manager in the league who pursues this principle. The style of the Lakers and Clippers is similar, trading the future for the present success.

The Lakers traded Ronzobauer and Ingram for anthony davis, while the Clippers traded super genius Alexander and five first-round signings for paul george and Cowell Leonard. Both Los Angeles teams are the biggest contenders for the championship.

No matter Pat Riley or the general managers of other teams, the goal is to aim at the championship.

On the road to success, you must take some risks. Patrelli said, you never know whether the strategy will succeed, but it's all about winning.
