Why do people have to work hard in their lives?

Because the most painful thing is not failure, it is that I could.

Derrick Fisher's pain stems from the fact that he could have been the Lakers' starter and could have been the third scorer, but now, he suspects he will be traded in the summer, which is the difference between heaven and hell.

Lakers management does have this consideration, and Kupchak's biggest headache is how to renew Guo Xu's contract. He must find a way to clear the team's salary space next season, otherwise under the restriction of the over-salary cap, the Lakers can only give Guo Xu a mid-class job at most, and it is too easy for other teams to poach people.

With 6.5 million salary space left in Hores Grant's contract this summer, the Lakers won't re-sign Grant unless he's willing to sign a veteran with a base salary. Even so, their total salary is much more than the salary cap, so Kupchak will have to consider trading Horry with an annual salary of 5.3 million and Fisher with an annual salary of 3 million next season.

Horry has a hard time getting his worthwhile expiring contract back, and he's playing well, and Lakers management is a little reluctant.

Fisher, as a point guard, was the first to be traded, his advantage in staying with the team was last season's data garbage, this season has been off for too long and there are injury concerns, other teams are not interested in him, and the Lakers can't trade if they want to.

As long as he can send Fisher away, Kupchak is willing to sell at a loss, no draft picks, no other players, not even cash, and any trade exception can be accepted.

If the Lakers had been so generous last summer, the Mavericks would definitely not want Tyrone Lue, and Fisher would be one step away from trading Jason Guo alone and leaving a name in the history books.

On the 22nd, Fisher came to the training hall to participate in the team's training, hoping that the coaching staff would allow him to return early.

The NBA is a land of dreams and a place where miracles happen, and Fisher is confident that he can get back to the top.

Although he has averaged only 5.8 points and 4.1 assists per game in his peak season since entering the league, shooting 43.4% from the field, that is not the point. He'll show fans how strong his willpower is, and marvel at his great recovery speed and ability to adjust to form.

Fisher was well prepared at home, changed into the most handsome sportswear, put on lucky sneakers, put on a lucky headband, grew a lucky beard, and appeared in front of Phil Jackson in the best spirit.

Then, he showed off his athletic abilities in front of the "Zen Master" and worked hard to sell himself.

"Coach, I'm fine now, I can trot, I can still jump, hey, I can still fly, if you want to give me a arm, I can still fly, believe it or not, I can still fly."

The English language is so profound that it is difficult to translate, which is not what Fisher said, but it is generally what it means.

"......" Phil Jackson covered his face with one hand, feeling that Fisher was really bitter, and he was about to be stimulated into a nervous disorder.

Whether a player can return or not is not just up to the coaching staff has the final say, Jackson brought in whitebearded bald team doctor Gary Wetti to assess Fisher's situation.

The result was a breakdown for Fisher, and Viti refused without even thinking about it. He has a say in the Lakers and is the oldest employee on the team.

In 1984, at the age of 30, Waiti traveled to Los Angeles to meet Lakers coach Pat Riley. The two chatted about player nutrition, strength training, team medical and other professional topics, and Viti's answer made Riley very satisfied, and then hired him.

When Waiti first arrived in Los Angeles, the NBA was nowhere near as big as it is now, but after so many years of development, the pattern of NBA success has not changed, and the key lies in 12 players, 2 coaches, and 1 team doctor. As for the others, whether they are team executives or the players' family and friends, they are all secondary factors.

In Guo Xu's previous life, for 32 years, Wettie has always been the "1" who guards the Lakers, and he has to listen to O'Neal, otherwise he will be anxious.

There was a time in January when O'Neill didn't want to train and asked Viti for a few days in sick and was denied.

"You're so big-shouldered and round-waisted, you can take up so much space on the court." Witti gestured and said angrily, "You've really subverted the game of basketball." So you have to train because no one else has the ability that you have. ”

This is a satire that O'Neill is too fat, O'Neill knows that he is at a loss, and he can't lose his weight in exercise, let alone often lazy and resting? So I willingly went to training.

Viti said to Fisher: "You're too heavy and coming back early is a joke about your career. I suggest you wait until the playoffs to come back, it's safer and it helps the team. ”

Before Fisher could speak, Jackson made a decision. "So be it, there's Jason here anyway, so I won't need him for the time being."

Witti laughed, "I think so too. ”

Fisher's mouth opened in an O-shape. Did you consider the feelings of the person in question when you spoke? What do you mean by "Jason is here anyway, and I can't use him for the time being?" ”

If Jason Guo has been and has been healthy, when will the team need me? Does this mean that sooner or later I will be removed from the team? I don't want to play in a small place!

The more Fisher thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, his legs and feet were a little weak, and he wanted to kneel down for Jackson, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Coach, I want to play basketball ......"

As a result, before he could kneel, Jackson turned to the side and went to O'Neal to talk about tactics. "Come on, Shackle, let's talk about encountering the other party's heavy inside line and pulling it out to cover Jason."

Viti made up a knife: "Derek, you go home and rest first, if you can, usually eat less, try to lose weight, you can lose 90 kilograms, how can you get up to this body fast?" How to block and dismantle? Look how fast Jason is. ”

Fisher really wants to explain that he is called strong, not fat, his speed is not slow, and he is passing among defenders by relying on explosiveness, but it is really not enough to look at the current Guo Xu.

Fisher sighed, still not giving up, wanting to talk to Kobe Bryant, who was also a rookie in the class of '96, if Kobe Bryant could say a few good words about him, he might be able to play a little more when he returns in the playoffs.

He looked around and soon found that Kobe and Guo Xu were in a heads-up for one half. Both of them have beautiful movements, and their offensive methods are endless, throwing and leaning back are fast and accurate.

After a few rounds of fighting, the two chatted and laughed, although Fisher stood far away and couldn't hear what they said, but he could make up for it by his expressions. He had never seen Kobe Bryant laughing so happily, and he couldn't help but open his mind.

Probably...... Jason should be in Kwakkobe's strength, right?

I'm going to be Kobe Bryant here, and it's better to have a comparison.

Jason Kwok, uh.

Brother Ko, huh?

You compare me to someone like Roho Ho.

I'm no worse than Jordan.

Then I'm not as good as Luo Ho Ho.

You're more giggle than he is.

Walk ...... Okay.

Walk ...... Okay.

Gotta come and got, come and go, hey, hey, hey.

English is so profound that it's hard to translate, that's not what Fisher was saying, but that's what he was thinking.

The more Fisher thought about it, the more he felt that he had no hope and no future in sight. He ran out of the arena and ran into the hall to find the thickest marble pillar and slammed his head against it.

I'm not alive anymore, I'll be shot by someone!
