Chapter 480: Crisis (10,000 Words Outbreak Completed~)
"Hot, you wait. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Just as Tang was walking out of the building in a rage, a voice behind him stopped him out of breath.
When Tang Qian turned around, he found that the person who stopped him was not Bonnie. And who is Laughlin?
Seeing that it was him, Tang Qian stopped, turned his head and said, "Ms. Laughlin, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
Bonnie. Laughlin finally caught up with Tang Qian, put his hand on his waist and gasped for a few breaths, and then said, "Hot, you just talked to Mickey. Kupchak falling out is really not a wise decision, after all, he is now the 'big man' of the Lakers, except for Jim. Bass, he is not afraid of anyone. Tang Qianyan sneered when he heard this: "So what? He's just eating Jerry. West's old book, what good deal did he make himself? Short-sighted, do you really think that you can win a championship by stacking superstars? 04 years, didn't fan him! ”
Bonnie. Of course, Lashlin knows what Tang Qian is talking about, in 04, the Lakers formed a rare "Four Kings" lineup in the league, four Hall of Fame players gathered in one team, and in terms of status, it is far from being comparable to the current "New Four Kings". O'Neal, Kobe, Malone, Payton, when the names of these four people come together, that's the real scary.
At that time, every team in the league was almost stunned.
And many people don't know that this is also Mickey. After Kupchak officially took the throne, he completed the "big order" independently for the first time.
As soon as he made a move, it was indeed Mickey. The name Kupchak made a name for itself.
But from God's perspective, Tang Qian personally feels that the transaction was also a pure superstar pile-up, completely ignoring what the Lakers should want. Yes, in that era, Malone could be regarded as the No. 1 No. 4 position in the league for many years, and Payton was too, nicknamed "Glove", a super No. 1 position with good offense and defense, and even had 1 DPOY in his career, which was too strong.
If all four of them are at the peak, then there is really no need to play, and it is good to award the championship directly, because almost every one of the four positions is at the crushing level. But Kupchak forgot, the big question of years and age, how old was Malone that year? 40 years old! Even if it is "Tiangou" Jabbar, at this age, it is not as powerful as before, this look at the single-season data of his career, it is clear at a glance, at the age of 39, you can still get close to 23 + 6 + 3 + 2 strong data, as soon as the age of 40 arrives, it immediately declines, only 17+ remains, and then a year later it becomes 14+, and finally it becomes 10+. As strong as the top five "heavenly hooks" in history, they are all like this, not to mention Carl. Malone? But Kupchak always thought that Malone was almost full attendance last season, only missing one game, and his average data per game was also at the All-Star level, so he didn't hesitate to give him a shot. Come here. Who knew that as soon as he came to the Lakers, the regular season was fine, but the playoffs began to be unbearable, and various ability attributes exploded, and O'Neal was simply bitter on the inside.
That's not all, the main thing is to sign Payton, which in Tang Qian's opinion, is really a "stinky move". Peyton is old, and the offensive and defensive attributes have been completely disintegrated 2 years ago, and now that he is replaced, the original No. 1 position has become a "big loophole" in an instant, but anyone who encounters a strong point can bully and bully the former "glove". Of course, the most important thing is that he and Lakers head coach Phil . Jackson's tactical philosophy is out of place, so even if Payton comes over, he only has to defend.
Besides, at that time, he didn't even have defense, and when he came to the Lakers, it was Mitch. Kupchak forcibly stuffed someone else's "ATM" so that other teams would have to hit this point as long as they ran into the Lakers and score points from Payton. It's not that Payton is completely bad, at the age of 35, if he goes to a team with a reasonable lineup, he can still shine, see Miami later, which is the successful use of Payton Sr. In the triangle offense, the No. 1 position was originally dispensable, which made Payton at a loss for a while, and the run-in with the team was not completed until the last game of the Finals.
is such a player who is obviously inconsistent with the tactical philosophy of the Lakers, and if you want to pull him over as the main force, you must offend both the head coach and the player. So Peyton and the Zen master had a very tense relationship during that time.
It can be seen from Kupchak's first big trade after West's departure in '02 that the latter is very good at "robbery", and he has learned the essence of the former, and even called it better than blue, and that is not unavoidable. But for the vision of team building, player training, and player future prediction, these three points, he is at least 108,000 miles worse than the former.
This is also why, from the very beginning, Tang Qian didn't think much of Mickey. Kupchak special cattle. The root of the force.
What else would he do but "rob"?
Team building vision - no consideration of the team's integrity and adaptability.
Player training - without perseverance and perseverance, he finally cultivated a Bynum, but for the sake of "Warcraft", he gave up without hesitation.
Player future predictions - this is Kupchak and Jerry. West's biggest difference is also the farthest point, look at his future Lakers draft, a few years of rotten, and finally get a few good high picks, but they are all mediocre, and there is no sign of superstar at all.
So 2014 Jim. The "three-year commitment" made by Bass is, in Tang Qian's view, a manifestation of "self-inflicted". He overestimated himself too much, and at the same time overestimated Mickey. Kupchak, so his public remarks in Grandstand Sports, are digging his own grave.
However, Tang Qian didn't know that all of this was predicted and followed before the death of Old Bass.
One of the preparations is the person in front of you, Bonnie. Laughlin.
"Okay, but anyway, he's still the general manager of the Lakers right now, unless ...... Bonnie. This was the first time that Havelin showed a tentative intention to win over Tang Qian, and said, "Unless he is not the general manager, then the situation may be different." Tang Qian was stunned when he heard this, he lowered his head and asked, "Ms. Lovelin, what do you mean by this?" Can you say it explicitly? ”
You can't blame Tang Qian's slow reaction, he has never been in contact with this kind of conspiracy and power struggle in this life or the previous life, and now even in the NBA league, he is also bent on basketball, and he has never paid any attention to the people next to him. But soon, Bonnie. Loverin made him understand that to play well in the NBA, it's not enough to just think about what's on the basketball court.
If you want to be the heart of a team, you have to go off the pitch as well.
Bonnie. Laughlin smiled and said, "It means to ask you if you dare to try your luck and gamble." ”
"If you win the bet, you can have a much higher status with the Lakers than you have now, and of course, we won't be ambiguous when it comes to American knives. It must be the highest salary within your means. "Bonnie. Laughlin said, "How's it going, aren't you interested?" If not, then if I didn't say that, you haven't met me today. Tang Qian finally understood a little, but to be honest, he didn't have the interest to mix in this kind of "bloody drama", coming to the United States, coming to the NBA, and playing basketball wholeheartedly was his original intention and idea. The words of refusal were rolling to his lips, and Tang Qian suddenly hesitated again.
Because of the "Hoku collusion incident", it reminded him that if he doesn't have a certain right to speak in the team, then even if he just wants to play basketball well, he can't achieve it. The NBA is a business circle, a field of interests, and there is nothing wrong with this sentence.
Seeing that the oriental center in front of him did not refuse himself at the first time, Bonnie. Laughlin smiled understandingly and said, "Hot, you don't need to answer me in such a hurry, you can go back and think it through and give me an answer, this is my new business card, you can call me at any time." "With that, Bonnie. Laughlin wriggled his big ^,.butt and disappeared from Tang Qian's sight.
This style of advancing and retreating properly made Tang Qian's brows slowly wrinkle.
As for why Bonnie. Will Laughlin take a fancy to Tang Qian? Will you want to win over Tang Qian in advance? That's not how good her own vision is, but mainly because she believes that the vision of "Old Bass" can't go wrong, so she has the courage to come over and gamble. Although "Old Bass" did not say it explicitly before his death, as his "intimate object", Bonnie. Lovelin has long figured out some of the temperament and habits of the Lakers at the helm.
Will he casually hire a Lakers player, or a substitute, to his private collection corridor? And then let him press a palm print?
You should be Jerry. Is Bass in a panic?
At least usually Bonnie. Lovelin rarely saw him do that.
And that's enough.
Of course, Tang Qian didn't know about the big layout of "Old Bass", he only knew that he soon received a notice of "in-team ban" from the team.
In the Toyota Sports Center, Tang Qian looked at this notice with a gloomy face, and at the same time, there were D'Antoni and Kobe Bryant with the same ugly expressions as him. D'Antoni was wondering, was he too impulsive yesterday, and made a "side decision" so quickly, maybe it would be more rational to make a decision later? Kobe Bryant cares about the team's record and whether he will break his word in public.
Only Howard, who had a winner's smile on his face, and even improved his free-throw percentage in this afternoon's practice session. Although he lost the game against the Bulls yesterday, Howard's own personal data was extremely eye-catching, with 16 points, 21 rebounds, 4 blocks, 1 steal and 1 assist.
Of course, his free throws were still embarrassing, hitting 0-of-8 from the field and 0% from the field.
If he can make even one free throw, then the Lakers have a chance to go into overtime, if he can make two free throws......
But this is enough for Howard personally, as for whether to win or not, that is not the first thing in his mind.
On March 12, the Lakers challenged the Orlando Magic away, although Howard performed bravely, slashing 39 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, but it was precisely because of him that the overall rhythm of the Lakers was completely disrupted, and finally lost to Amway Center 97-106, 9 points. Why do you say that, because in this game, Howard's personal free throws reached as many as 39 times, although he also made 25 free throws, but standing for such a long time, the Lakers players' bodies are white-hot, and as soon as the body cools down, the competitive state will naturally be greatly reduced.
Both Bryant and Nash had extremely poor shooting in this game, with the former at 28 percent and the latter at 34 percent.
So in the post-game press conference, Howard made a big fuss, claiming that he felt lonely with the Lakers because he didn't get much help from outside players. As soon as these words came out, Kobe Bryant and Nash both had black faces, looking at the "Warcraft" who was still talking in the middle, and they couldn't wait to fly over and look at the shoe prints on his face!
What is the reason why we are not in competitive form? Who is it? It's not T.M.D, it's you!! Now that you're good at it, you're ready to pack??? You're too shameless, aren't you!!
The incident led to a further rift in his relationship with Kobe Nash.
With 33 wins and 32 losses, the Lakers seem to be getting farther and farther away from eighth or even ninth in the West.
The outside world has no sympathy for what happened to the Lakers, and it is full of ridicule.
On March 13, they went back-to-back to Atlanta to challenge the Hawks, 92-96, and the Lakers lost by 4 points again, even if Howard got 30 points, 19 rebounds and 4 blocks, it didn't help. Don't look at his shooting percentage is very good, reaching more than 60%, but at the same time, he has not had a single assist, 8 turnovers, and instantly buried the hope of the Lakers.
After 7 consecutive wins, 3 consecutive defeats, the outside world's ridicule of Kobe Bryant and the Lakers suddenly took on a geometric shape and erupted.
The Lakers have exhausted their last breath, and they're going to be finished!
Kobe Bryant says the Lakers must make the playoffs this season? Haha, how many people will believe him now?
A short-lived 7-game winning streak! The Lakers are still the same Lakers, and nothing has changed in essence!
Let's just mess it up! You can also go to the lotto area!
Many similar words made the Lakers' No. 24 face extremely cold.
And what about Tang Qian? He didn't go to these away games, just stayed in Los Angeles alone, practicing hard.
On March 15, the Lakers lost to the Indiana Pacers again, and Kobe Bryant only played 12 minutes in this game, and returned to the locker room because of physical discomfort, and never appeared again in the whole game.
Lose streak of 4 matches.
33 wins and 33 losses.
The Lakers' win rate has fallen back to between 50% again.
The official website of the Lakers released the news that night, Kobe Bryant will miss the next 3~4 games because of ankle discomfort.
The Lakers' situation seems to be completely finished.
Inside and out, it's a mess of mud.
PS: The 10,000-word is more complete, the palace fight of the Bath family continues to intensify, the Lakers are in danger, and everyone is called on to come to one. Wave. Subscriptions and tickets help the Lakers tide over the storm~hehe~
