"Hot, have you really thought about it?" Bonnie. Laughlin asked over the phone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Well, I've figured it out, I'm willing to work with you." Tang Qian said into the phone.

"Well, you're welcome, you're the first All-Star I've signed! Let's work together. Tang Qian's concern was not here, he just asked: "Madam, I can stand on your side, but I have one condition, I want to immediately lift the restrictions on the injury list and play." ”

"Hot, what's the point of you playing now? Anyway, the Lakers have basically ...... this season. Before Ralphlin finished speaking, Tang Qian interrupted: "Madam, it's easy to say anything else, but I won't give up to victory, even if the Lakers only have 1 game left, I want to play and win." Do you understand? ”

"You little guy, what a deep obsession." Bonnie. "It's a bit like Kobe. But I'll need to think about it before I get back to you. "But ma'am, now that the Lakers are in danger, how can I still ......" This time it was the former's turn to interrupt: "Hot, I'll seriously consider your opinion, but many things can't be decided in an instant, do you understand?" So peace of mind, wait, maybe there will be an answer soon. ”

On March 27, the Lakers played the penultimate game of the season against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Lakers played a mess in this game, and Kobe Bryant and Howard were almost completely out of contact and fought separately, which made Nash lose his power and completely became an outside fixed-point battery. As for Gasol, he is even more pitiful, because Howard's low position dominates, so his area of activity is all concentrated near the free throw line, and here, it is undoubtedly the "weak zone" of the 7-foot man.

After all, not everyone, it's Dirk. Nowitzki, especially Gasol, has declined in mobility as he gets older, and his offensive ability near the free throw line has fallen in a straight line, and he no longer has any lethal power. Even many teams "let go" of him and let him shoot a lot in the middle distance.

As a big Spanish man, Gasol certainly has a certain amount of mid-range ability, but if you want him to eat at mid-range, then forget it, and he can't be used as a conventional weapon at all. So the more he plays, the worse he gets, the worse he plays, for example, in the last game, D'Antoni was so angry that he directly replaced him with a substitute player.

He thought this would provoke Gasol's competitiveness and anger, but it often backfired, because Gasol was not the type of person with a tough personality, so he was more receptive to encouragement than frustration. Seeing that he had lost his starting position, Gasol was sleepwalking throughout the game and played extremely poorly.

But the good thing is that the Timberwolves are thanks to Kevin. Lefou's injury, "there is no general in Shu", so Kobe and Howard won the game by virtue of their personal ability. Kobe Bryant played 43 minutes and got 33 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 block and 1 steal, and the defensive end made the "golden boy" Rubio completely dumb, shooting only 3 of 13, with a shooting rate of only 23.1%. Howard played 37 minutes and got 25 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks, because the Timberwolves' weak interior configuration could not contain the rampant "Warcraft" at all.

Nikola. Pekovic had a good weight, but he was too slow and slow, and when he met Howard, who was eager to play a "high-priced contract", his strength was okay, and his pace and speed were completely blown out. It seems that for the next big contract, "Warcraft" also fought hard, and showed a strength that was significantly higher than in the second half of the season. As for the former defensive titan A.K.47 Russian Kirilenko, now because of injuries and age, his ability has greatly declined, and his superhuman assistant defense is not there, but because his body is too thin, he has repeatedly begun to be eaten by the power-based interior line, which is very embarrassing.

This is the sadness of the Russians, because he is at his peak, in a period of traditional basketball that has not yet changed, which makes his "not three, not four" forward position very embarrassing. But if you put it to the present, hehe, a proper fragrant dumpling, able to organize and attack independently, as well as super defensive and offensive and defensive conversion ability, coupled with a strong pass, tsk, tsk, is definitely more suitable for the Warriors than Draymond in the future.

It's a pity that in the 2012-2013 season, he was no longer at his peak, and he could only play a little bit of veteran residual heat.

The white European interior line is indeed at its peak for a short time, and after the age of 30, there are very few people in the NBA who can still hold on.

The Lakers have one, but unfortunately for various reasons, he has played very troubled this season, and he has basically not been comfortable.

120-117, playing a team that lacked core players, the Lakers almost lost, which made the outside world's opinion of the Lakers even worse. With 35 wins and 37 losses, the Lakers won a game that didn't raise much morale.

72 games have passed, and the league's playoff pattern seems to be a foregone conclusion, so whether it is the "T.N.T Heavenly Group" or ESPN's "First.Take" program, the Lakers and Kobe Bryant have issued the final "diagnosis".

In the 2012-2013 season, the Los Angeles Lakers will be one of the biggest laughing stocks in the history of the league.

Seeing these news, these remarks, and these programs outside, Kobe's face was terrifyingly dark, and he began to gradually refuse to participate in the team's post-game press conference, and even some daily interviews, he can push it, and if he can't push it, it's a pity to say that the amount of words is pitiful.

This makes people in the outside world think that Kobe Bryant is cowardly and does not dare to face his "broken promise", so he is so "low-key" and "uncooperative". But what about the facts? Is this really what it looks like?

After the game against the Timberwolves, in a room in Los Angeles, Bonnie. Laughlin was on the phone:

"Small. Sister, I have already expressed my will, and he is willing to stand by our side. ”

"Well, good, keep wrapping." The voice on the other end of the line replied succinctly.

"But he has a personal condition." Bonnie. "I just want to lift the injury list as soon as possible and get back to playing," Laughlin said. I don't know small. What do you think, sister? The voice on the other end of the phone muttered slightly for a few seconds, and said, "Are you sure he just wants to play?" Isn't there something else on mind? ”

"That's right." Bonnie. "I can see that he's a player who is hungry for games and hungry to win, which is kind of like Bryant. "Really? You mean, he's just a pure basketball player? The voice on the other end of the line asked. It's hard to say, but for now, he just wants to play, that's all. "Bonnie. After thinking for a moment, Laughlin added: "Maybe I'm afraid that if the incentive clause can't be activated, I will lose a lot of dollars." ”

"Oh? Yes, I also looked at his contract, the basic salary is not much, mainly the incentive clause bonus accounts for the majority. ”

"Then should we get stuck with him and let him ......"

"No, you don't need to." The voice on the phone said: "Our Bath family is not short of this money, not to mention that I am different from my dear brother, it is my consistent style to treat players and stars well. Because it seems that you have sacrificed a certain amount of dollars, but the intangible assets have also increased greatly. And these intangible assets are sometimes not something that can be bought with a penny dollar. Bonnie, you have to understand that our Buss family runs the Lakers not as a ticket, so we have to take a long-term view of a lot of things, go deeper, and I can choose the latter depending on the situation. ”

"I see, little. Sister, you still have a vision, I am far inferior. "Bonnie. Laughlin Road.

"It's nothing, give you a little time, and you can finally go through it. Kupchak back then, wasn't it also in Jerry. West's subordinates have been honing for more than ten years before they become teachers? I believe in your abilities, just take your time. The voice on the phone said, "Jim probably thinks he has a Mickey. Kupchak can do everything well, everything can go well, but he forgets that running a team, the general manager is just an extension of him, and it definitely can't replace the real brain work. ”

"So, destroying his biggest reliance is half the battle. Besides, I'll let Jerry point your fingers at you, and you won't be weaker than Kupchak in confidence. "Bonnie. When Laughlin heard this, he was stunned and said, "Little. Sister, you're going to invite Jerry. West is back in the mountains? "Don't worry, Bonnie, what I promised you won't change easily, let Jerry help you, just be a consultant behind the scenes, so that you can work more easily." As if sensing Bonnie. Laughlin's inner detail, the female voice on the phone said with relief.

"Uh, no, small. Sister, I didn't mean that......" Seeing that her own careful thoughts were noticed so quickly, Bonnie. Laughlin was a little embarrassed. "It's okay, Bonnie, I like people who have thoughts and desires, and if you really don't want to pursue anything, then I'll have to think about it."

"That hot thing, little. What does Sister mean? "Bonnie. Laughlin returned to the point and asked.

"Get him on the pitch and I'll call and Mickey. Kupchek said, at the same time, go to the Internet to spread the news that the perm is not hurt at all, just publicize, disseminate, and make everyone known. I don't think I need to teach you this specific aspect, do I? ”

"Well, I understand, I'll do it." Bonnie. Laughlin nodded.

They thought it was just an innocuous little thing, but it caused "countless storms" behind them.

Now the atmosphere in the Lakers team is extremely weird, if an outsider comes here, then he will definitely find that the team's mind is almost not about winning. Standing in line seems to be the top priority for Lakers players at the moment.

Kobe or Howard, now or in the future, this is indeed a difficult thing to choose.

In this team atmosphere, even if the team's head coach Mike . D'Antoni also chose to accept his fate. Because again, in the NBA game, the people who play the game are always the players, not the coaches. Therefore, no matter how high the coaching ability of the head coach is, no matter how strong the coaching level is, it will not be able to play a decisive role.

Besides, with only 10 games left in the season, the Lakers are currently ranked 11th in the West. D'Antoni felt hopeless. Looking at the probability, unless the Lakers win all the remaining games, there is no possibility of squeezing into the playoffs at all. And to try for 11 consecutive victories in this "stragglers" at the moment, it is really a bit whimsical and a bit of a fool's dream.

Just before back-to-back challenges against the Milwaukee Bucks, Mitch. Kupchak received a phone call saying:

Immediately arranged for the Chinese to hit the field and he had passed Gary. All of Viti's physical indicators are checked.

Hearing this, Kupchak was a little annoyed and said, "Ma'am, it's Jim now. Mr. Bass is in charge, right? So I thought I should have listened to his advice. The female voice on the phone said: "It's true that Jim is in charge now, but I'm also the vice president of the team, so I think I have the right to stop some personal grudges and management mistakes." ”

"Ms. Bass! Are you alluding to something? Or are you dissatisfied with my personal operations? "Mickey. Kupchak didn't give much face, so he asked directly. After all, now Jim. Buss is the real man at the helm of the Lakers, and he's Jim. How could the people of Bath listen to the orders of a "loser"?

As if he had expected all this, the voice on the phone came out unhurriedly: "Mickey, don't be so angry, I'm actually doing it for your own good." "For my good? What do you mean, ma'am? "Mickey. Kupchak Road.

"Looking at the latest news on the Internet, China Ran can't help but make a public statement."

"What did you say?" Hearing this, Kupchak immediately clicked on the computer next to him, and after searching for a few keywords, a series of eye-catching titles instantly caught his eye, and said: I just want to play! But some people just want to be deliberately bad!

This is a separate interview video of the Lakers before the game, the video is not long, only less than a minute, but the information in it makes Mitch. Kupchak's face was gloomy. The specific details of these words are Tang Qian and Bonnie in advance. Ravlin agreed that he did not attack his team or his teammates, but simply "poured dirty water" on Kupchak's body.

The more Kupchak looked at it, the more annoyed he became, because this Chinese hot was clearly going against him!

This is really intolerable for the extremely controlling Kupchak!

"Laurie, immediately go and make a statement to refute the rumors, and then call to warn China that if he says another nonsense, don't want to play next season!" Mickey. Kupchak had just finished yelling, and he said on the other end of the phone: "Mickey, you're not too young, it's so angry and hurts your body, why don't you rest for a few days first?" ”

These words touched Kupchak's sensitive nerves, and he couldn't help but say fiercely: "Ms. Bass, I don't need you to bother with my body, but please figure it out." It's not like it used to be, you're no longer the Lakers' president of operations, it's Jim in charge, he's the guy who can dictate to me. ”

"Okay~ I'm just making a phone call to care about you, since you don't appreciate it, then I won't force it. It's just Mickey, I really didn't expect that you would choose to defect at the last minute and run to Jim's camp, sure enough, I still underestimated your desire for power, didn't I? Hearing this, Kupchak's face flushed slightly, but he quickly disappeared without a trace, and said: "I'm sorry Ms. Bass, I admit that you are very capable of work, but you interfere too much in my management, which makes me very uncomfortable, so I can only choose Jim for my own ideals." ”

"He's different from you, he gave me carte blanche and gave me the most room to play, and last summer's deal was my reward for him."

"I admire your ability to rob, I guess it's no worse than Jerry back then, but it's a pity that the vision ......" The voice on the phone didn't finish speaking, and then changed another sentence: "Besides, I don't care what you're for, I only care, who is the enemy and who is the friend." You chose Jim, and that's a shame, we'll never be friends again. ”

"It's okay ma'am, history will always remember only the winners." Mickey. The implication of Kupchak's statement is clear, you are a loser, you have lost, and I chose the right one.

"Well, I'll remember your proverb, and hopefully in a few years, I'll hear your confident voice."

"Don't worry, ma'am, you can listen to it for a lifetime after more than a few years, as long as you want, I am always welcome to call us." After Kupchak finished speaking, he said: "That's all for today, ma'am, I'm too busy to talk to you for too long, please forgive me." The other end of the phone was not angry, but replied flatly: "Okay, I originally just came to greet an old friend, and since he is gone, I am not in the mood to talk anymore, Mickey, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye ma'am." Kupchak felt that he had the upper hand, so he spoke very arrogantly.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something." Before hanging up the phone, the female voice inside said: "Turn on the TV and take a look, maybe tonight's game will be very exciting." With that, she hung up.

Kupchak didn't want to pay attention to this sentence, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to lose by looking at it anyway, so he turned on the ultra-clear large-screen TV in the general manager's office. After a few seconds, he was stunned and muttered, "Why, why is he on the field?" ”

PS: The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the climax is coming~

Here are the congratulations to the "Magic", who finally succeeded in the counterattack, from an "outsider" who could only express opinions on Twitter, to a completely turnover, and became a boss-level figure above 10,000 people under the Lakers. I hope that the Lakers can return to their status as a strong team as soon as possible under the leadership of him and her, after all, the competition is the NBA that Xiao Zi likes to watch.
