Chapter 159: Larry Bird's Call (Heavenly Dragon Alliance Plus 14)
O'Neal's individual score on the Lakers' side accounts for almost half of the Lakers' total scores......
The Trail Blazers' scoring is more average.
In this game, Kobe Bryant scored 17 points on 15 shots, because the game was too constipated, but the assist data was relatively small, only four assists were scored.
This score of 17 is already the highest score on the Trail Blazers' side.
Rashid scored 16 points and Robinson scored 14 points......
Big Ben made 5 of 12 free throws, which was far inferior to O'Neal, and he finished the game with 7 points, 10 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal......
Compared to O'Neill, this data is certainly not worth mentioning!
However, Big Ben's performance has also exceeded the expectations of the home team fans, they originally predicted that Big Ben would be abused by sharks quite miserably, but they didn't expect Big Ben to still have a stable 10 rebounds in his account!
Bowen, who was cut again, hit six of the 12 free throws, and was no better than O'Neal, but Bowen still has a three-point ability, 2 of 5 three-pointers in this game, and finally scored 12 points!
The worst was O'Neal Jr., who didn't score a point in the whole game and only scored three rebounds.
However, O'Neal Jr.'s miserable data is also for a reason, and no fans care about O'Neal Jr.'s miserable data.
The last 16 of the 80 points were scored by Sabonis Sr. and Curry Sr. together.
……
Even Richard didn't expect that the top scorer for their Trail Blazers in today's game would be Kobe Bryant.
What was even more unexpected was that the Trail Blazers' highest score was only 17 points.
Kobe Bryant had a double-double performance of 17 points and 11 assists in a single game before, but in the eyes of Richard and fans, Kobe's performance of 17 points and 4 assists today was better than that double-double game.
In this game, Kobe Bryant showed a big heart that was boundless!
It's really daring to vote, it's really daring to enter!
Richard is thinking about whether he can increase the number of Kobe Bryant's shots right now.
The meaning of the existence of shackles is actually to accelerate Kobe's growth, not to limit Kobe's growth.
Just like the seals on the body of the Divine Emperor of the Fantasy, every time a layer is unlocked, the strength of the God Emperor rises by a few points.
Now is the best time for Richard to break Kobe's seal.
……
In the post-game press conference, Richard asked Carlisle to take Kobe Bryant and Rashid to attend.
I have other important things to do.
Just after the game, Richard returned to the locker room and received a strange phone call.
The person who called surprised Richard.
Larry Bird!
Pacers General Manager Larry Bird!
"Hello Lee, I'm Larry Bird!"
"Lee, after internal deliberation among our Pacers management, we will publicly announce the dismissal of Larry Brown as head coach of the Pacers tomorrow!"
Larry Bird's opening remarks made Richard a little confused......
What's going on? You pacers fire Larry Brown's squid, you don't seem to have to report to yourself, do you?
Could it be that the Pacers are afraid of their young head coach? Want to build a relationship with yourself through this?
There is almost no such possibility, who is Larry Bird? That's one of the biggest ...... in NBA history
Although Richard is in the limelight, Larry Bird really doesn't necessarily take Richard seriously, at most he admires Richard's coaching ability and selection ability.
Afraid of Richard? Inexistent.
"Mr. Bird, ...... this?" Richard asked rhetorically, frowning.
"Call me Larry, I know there is a lot of unhappiness between you and Larry Brown, and now that Larry Brown has been fired, I hope what happened before will not affect our friendship!" Larry Bird said with a smile on the phone.
This made Richard even more confused, and there seemed to be no friendship between himself and Larry Bird......
"Larry, if there's anything going on, let's get straight to the point, it's not your character to hide it." Richard said with a smile.
Dealing with these cunning old fritters is really a bit brain-consuming.
"Haha, that's good, then I'll get straight to the point." Larry Bert was delighted.
"We want Jermaine O'Neal of the Trail Blazers!"
"We're willing to pay for next season's top-five picks in the first round and add the right player chips, and the Pacers have the rest of the players to choose from except for Reggie Miller and Schmitz!"
Richard's mouth was wide open, holding his phone in disbelief.
Good guys, are the Pacers going to be rotten?
Although Larry Bird didn't say it explicitly, they added a top-five pick to their first-round pick next year, which is already lice on a bald head......
If you don't plan to mess up, with the strength of the Pacers, it's unlikely that you will get a top-five first-round pick.
For a while, Richard was deeply impressed by Larry Bird's courage, and said that he would be rotten without hesitation.
There is no doubt that Larry Bird's operation, if Richard agrees, will undoubtedly be a very wonderful operation, even Richard, who has opened God's perspective, can't find any fault.
O'Neal Jr.'s form has been up and down, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the high school student's potential will gradually begin to realize in the next two seasons.
It can be said that this is a potential stock!
He is a seedling of a top center......
Imagine that after Larry Bird got O'Neal Jr. this season, he began to swing wildly, and then got a draft pick within the top five picks and chose a reliable backcourt master!
The Pacers' lineup is basically the prototype of a dynasty......
As for the top five first-round picks promised to Richard, under the crazy swing, Richard will definitely not be able to get it next year, and will have to wait until the year after next......
The Pacers will definitely start to work hard next year, and this first-round pick is estimated to be the bottom of the first round.
A very shrewd operation!
So shrewd that Richard, a traverser, couldn't find anything wrong with it......
The chips given by Larry Bird are also quite tempting, a first-round draft pick plus any one person on the team in exchange for O'Neal, who is currently averaging 10+6 data per game, I am afraid that if Callesimo coaches the Trail Blazers, he will happily treat Larry Bird as a good person to send warmth......
But Richard is not Callesimo, and he knows that this deal will definitely not be profitable for the Trail Blazers anyway......
"Larry, I'm afraid I'm not going to disappoint you, I'm not interested in trading Jermaine, but we still have a lot of reliable newcomers on the team, like Gary Trent, like Childrides, both of whom are former high-pick rookies!"
"I believe that with your training ability, you will definitely be able to make these two newcomers shine!"
"How? Not interested? Don't worry, I, Richard, am very talkative, as long as you ask for it, I will definitely sell it to you! ”
Richard said with a smile on the phone......
Larry Bird on the other end of the phone is now rolling his eyes, saying that Richard is a madman and a villain, and Larry Bird scoffs at this assessment after talking to Richard.
That's obviously a treacherous madman, a cunning villain!
I obviously want the top center Miao Xiao O'Neal, look at what stinky tomatoes and rotten eggs Richard threw out for himself.
