In the NBA, a league full of interests, there are many contradictions within each team, not to mention the Los Angeles Lakers, another team in Los Angeles, they have many internal contradictions, all kinds of competition emerge in endlessly, and they will not stop. Like the contradiction between Shak O'Neal and Kobe, it is just the battle between the team boss and the ball, which can only be regarded as the most superficial and least beneficial battle, and the Los Angeles Lakers also have a big contradiction, which is also a well-known thing, that is, the internal struggle of the team owner, the Bass family, as the old Buss gets older, between his son Jim Bass and daughter Jeanie Buss, for the control of the team, began a non-stop struggle, protracted.
And in the Los Angeles Lakers, there is another battle, and that is the Los Angeles Lakers' The battle between the godfather's legendary player Jerry West, and the current head coach Phil Jackson, in the NBA head coach and team manager, because of the team's right to speak, there will be different battles, which is not unique to the Los Angeles Lakers, Andy also took advantage of this at the beginning, so he effortlessly poached Jermaine O'Neal from the Portland Trail Blazers, but the battle of the Los Angeles Lakers, both fighters are more famous, Jerry West is a legendary star of the Los Angeles Lakers, he has won a championship for the team in his playing career, and became the manager of the team after retiring, the ok combination of Shaq O'Neal and KobeIt was he who made it happen.
Before Phil Jackson came to the Los Angeles Lakers, he had 6 championship rings, he was a well-known meritorious coach in the United States, and led the team to win a championship again in the Los Angeles Lakers, and he was not lower than Jerry West in terms of prestige, Phil Jackson has a strong desire to control, which can be seen from his relationship with the players, he is also a couple with Jeanie Buss, standing on the side of Jeanie Buss, while Jerry West is the person left by the old Bass, who has been in the team for many years, and his reputation is not lower than Phil Jackson in all aspects, The most important thing is that he does not belong to either of the two little Bass, which also determines that the fight between him and Phil Jackson cannot be stopped, interests, sides, and the right to speak, neither of them can let go, and in the end, only one person can stay.
However, these other teams fought for the bloody things, Andy never cared, he at the beginning, all the team's problems to Bilfitch, never intervened, even if this time I hope the team can lose one or two games, but just explain the reason, leave it to Bilfitch to decide, this is not Andy's weakness, in fact, Andy is a very strong person, he is like this, one is because he respects Bilfitch as a coach, and the other is because he is a very good businessman, He understands that the performance of the team is the key to the development of a team, and he leaves the professional things to the best professionals to do.
Andy knows that he is not good at managing the team, although he likes basketball very much, and once dreamed of being a basketball player, but after so many years, his understanding of basketball is still on the surface, after becoming the team manager, he put all his energy on the development and promotion of the team, the Los Angeles Clippers used to be the bottom of the league's fish belly team, the team's management has the greatest responsibility, after he took over, the first step was to start the management from the construction, stabilize the internal.
Then take advantage of the soaring performance of the team, began to promote the team step by step, coupled with the construction of the team's new arena, he not only does not have time to fight, nor disdain to fight, in his cognition, the main job of the team manager, is the operation and operation of the team, the team manager is a team, the only professional businessman, and the head coach in charge of professional basketball has no contradictions, let alone fighting, he and Bilfitch two on the tacit understanding, if the team is a commodity, Andy is in charge of packaging and merchandising, and Bill Fitch is in charge of quality, and the two have their own needs and gains, and they never conflict.
Now everything is according to the team, the best plot, is constantly going on, many of Andy's ideas can also be put into action, on the day the team rested, Andy avoided Tiger after training, left Coach Bill Fitch alone, and began to discuss the draft list.
"I've arranged for people, I've done a detailed analysis of the rookies on the roster, and you see what type of players the team needs, so I can make a selection on the trade." Andy was in his office, handing over this secret draft list to Bill Fish, this complete list, so far, only Andy himself knows, Tiger is not very clear, at first he just casually said, mentioned some names to Andy, and did not pay attention, and Andy did not fully trust the team's scouts, when doing analysis and observation, arranged different personnel, broke up the list, and added some different names to increase the confusion.
"If the numbers on this list aren't adulterated, every rookie on it is excellent, where did you get that? His value is too great. Bilfitch said after roughly scanning the stats of the players above.
"After I heard the name from Tiger, I arranged for someone to do a detailed analysis, and there was absolutely no problem with the data." Andy said proudly.
"Tiger? He's really a genius, his basketball talent, it's amazing, the draft vision and tactical understanding, it's beyond my imagination. Doesn't Tiger have a clear choice of whom? I believe that he will not be wrong in his choice and that he will become a good coach in the future. "Bill Fitch knows a lot of people on the team who have been traded according to Tiger.
"In fact, he didn't know about it, you know his character, he never thought about using Jermaine O'Neal to do any business, to exchange for a better draft pick, but I'm different, Bill you know, I'm the manager of the team, I'm an out-and-out businessman, and I won't do a loss-making deal." Andy frowned, but told the truth anyway.
"No wonder you mysteriously left me behind, so it was, but have you thought about it, what will happen to Tiger when he finds out?" (To be continued.) )
