Chapter 33, 248 Days
Kenjiro waved goodbye to Uncle Walker and left without hesitation, because this place did not belong to him.
Soon Kenjiro's final destination was also finalized, 3 years and 45 million to join the Lakers, on the first day of the announcement of this situation, the entire league went crazy, you must know that the Lakers have eaten O'Neal and Kobe's big contracts in a row, and now they are going to eat the best rookie Kenjiro, and they don't give people a way to live at all.
It's just that the three of them are close to the salary cap, and the salaries of the three in the second year are directly close to the luxury tax.
Many teams are against it, because next year is likely to be less terrible than this year, and a group of people in the league are not panicking because Malone and Stockton are getting older, even if the Jazz can maintain their condition, I believe they will not be able to play the same state as this year.
It's just that David Stern, who has an offensive style in Los Angeles, doesn't want the playoffs to be a game like the Jazz and the Spurs, so let's talk about one first.
And the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Lakers are completely different in that one has money and the other has no money, and when Malone and Stockton get big contracts, the other teams are ready to see if there is a chance to recruit Kenjiro into their portfolio.
And the Lakers' O'Neal has just entered his prime, and Kobe Bryant is also growing extremely fast, with the addition of Kenjiro, how much trouble such a combination will cause to other teams is completely disastrous.
Even if the New York Knicks waved the slogan that you come over and check whatever you wrote, Kenjiro was not moved at all.
Rather than choosing to play against the strongest two inside and outside the league during this time, it is better to join it, although Kenjiro has already thought about it, even if he doesn't have himself, the Lakers are the champion of the next year, as long as he joins the Lakers, the championship will also be in the bag.
And the easiest way to catch up with these athletic geniuses is to honor points, Kenjiro is not arrogant enough to rely on his own growth to make any breakthroughs, Kenjiro has already felt it, his fingers have slowly touched the feeling of his ceiling, although the Lakers' annual salary will completely explode next year, but soon the Lakers will clean up several contracts in the team.
If the transaction of the salary reduction transaction does not work, the contract will be terminated directly, and the annual salary of more than 10 million yuan will be forcibly cleared.
Rice and several other players have agreed to take a pay cut to stay with the team, and it takes honor to be able to mix a few championships with the team in exchange for a better future, or to choose a player who is not bad at all.
Not long after Kenjiro joined the Lakers, the veteran Barkley announced that he would join the Lakers with a base salary, of course, looking for Barkley's O'Neal, but there are also Kenjiro's small actions behind him, although Barkley will retire next season, but the Lakers do not plan to use Barkley as a full force, as long as Barkley paddles casually throughout the season, it will be Barkley's stage in the playoffs.
Recuperation and recuperation is what Barkley will do next season, and there is no need for Barkley to contribute in the regular season.
Just when everyone was still thinking about how to resist the Lakers, the news that Phil Jackson became the head coach of the Lakers came out again, and basically the bad news for other teams came one after another.
O'Neal, Kenjiro, Kobe Bryant's lineup, although Kenjiro still came off the bench, Phil Jackson gave Kenjiro a lot of opportunities to perform, basically no less than Kobe, Kenjiro most of them became team organizers, performance scores and rebounds have declined, but assists have improved greatly.
As for the team's original two cores, OK Kobe Bryant was injured in the preseason and missed six weeks of games, but O'Neal's dominant stats, coupled with Kenjiro's excellent performance, basically copied the Spurs' interior twin-tower tactics, allowing the Lakers to win 15 of the sixteen games in Kobe's absence.
O'Neal also became the best team in November, and Kenjiro also won the Player of the Week award for the first time, and basically all the honor in November was divided among the Lakers.
Returning to the Jazz home court this season to receive Kenjiro's first championship ring, it can be said that everyone in the Lakers team looked at them with envy, so that Kenjiro was very proud of having food in his hand, even if O'Neal looked at the ring in Kenjiro's hand, his eyes lit up, but returning to his old club was not exactly a pleasant thing.
The only game the Lakers lost in the first sixteen games was the Jazz sending a Laker, and the distraught Lakers players who were booed by the audience all over the court were instead Kenjiro himself didn't feel anything and faced Pele to cut down
After Kobe Bryant came back, the Lakers became stronger, although there were still various problems with tactics, but relying on the strength of the players, they still went on a rampage and finally entered the playoffs with the first place in the league this season.
O'Neal also successfully completed the Grand Slam, the Most Valuable Player, the All-Star Most Valuable Player, and the Finals Most Valuable Player, although a very strange thing was inserted in the middle, but don't forget that the All-Star has always been the stage for guards and forwards, and becoming the Most Valuable Player of the All-Star as a center can show that O'Neal is strong.
If the most embarrassing thing this season is to meet the Jazz in the playoffs, Kenjiro has no choice, take the Lakers' money, of course he has to do something.
The Lakers faced the old Jazz in the second round, and Kenjiro helped the Lakers sweep the Jazz 4-0 to advance to the finals amid boos from the audience.
The best performance in the Jazz game was not O'Neal, but Kenjiro, who completely incarnated the cold-faced god, averaged 34 points, 8 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 3.5 blocks per game.
Although the Jazz did not lose their competitiveness as everyone speculated, Malone and Stockton were still as strong as ever, but winning the championship gave the Jazz less motivation, and they played five games against last year's old rival Spurs in the first round.
You must know that the Admiral has not yet won the championship, this is a war between the full man and the hungry man.
The Lakers also received the most powerful sniping in the first round, facing the Kings with Webb and Divac and Williams, it can be said that the Lakers are unlucky enough, and the Kings are also unlucky enough, the Lakers are strong and have encountered a serious mismatch in strength The eighth place, the King can create a black eight miracle with a different opponent, but he met the Lakers who are completely physical.
Compared with the strength of the Lakers in the regular season, there can still be a team to fight against, but in the playoffs, you meet the playoffs O'Neal and Barkley's two big butts and start to threaten, this pair of big fat people is terrible to think about, and you have to cry first when you encounter these two people inside.
There is no way that the two fat men are completely crazy about the championship, and Barkley, who has adjusted for a season, although he has not fully recovered to his peak, but as a player with rich experience in the playoffs, his strength cannot be underestimated.
The Lakers unsurprisingly became champions, and Kenjiro lifted the championship trophy on the Lakers' home court, but looked at his honor worth.
This season, after upgrading the knee pads and headbands to the full level, he popped up to upgrade one of his attributes, and the last time the reinforcement of the step-back step allowed Kenjiro to choose the main way to score, and now the Lakers have less fast-moving defense and side defense, this time Kenjiro chose to defend with additional attributes.
