Chapter 197: The Old and the New
It's normal for a team to be replaced, after all, some players are old and need new players to replace them. When the team has a stable metabolism www.biquge.info the team will develop well, seize the expectations of fans, and seize the market.
However, it is a pity that most of them are updated, which will cause a bloody storm. Because there are interests in this, and if there are interests, there will be contradictions, and if there are contradictions, it will not be smooth sailing.
If nothing else, let's talk about Kobe and O'Neal, O'Neal is old, he wants to use the Lakers as a place to retire, and he wants to get a high salary until he retires.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, O'Neill has the ability and merit, and it is normal to have this kind of thinking. But this clashed with Kobe, who was unruly and self-conscious when he was young. He also has the ability to take credit, he also wants to get the top salary and think about the core, and there is O'Neal in this idea that simply cannot be realized.
Lakers management has a way to sign both, even if it's over the salary cap. But the contradictions between the two have reached the point of irreconcilability, and the Lakers must make a choice, and they can only choose Kobe Bryant, who has more potential.
And now that the Lakers have a choice for the next game, Jeanie Buss has the means, she did not wait for this contradiction to become irreconcilable, but made a choice first.
Kobe Bryant is old, and now he is at his peak, and there is no possibility of rising. And Wu Di is different, he still has a lot of room to rise, and it is inevitable that the Lakers will make a choice.
Now the contradiction between Kobe and Wu Di is just the amount of ball possession, and Wu Di does not have too much intention to grab the core, so the contradiction between the two has not reached the point of being out of control.
This gives Jeanie Buss a lot of room to operate, and she doesn't want to wait until another dynasty is established to get rid of Kobe Bryant, which is very hurtful. She wanted Kobe Bryant to retire with the Lakers and hang the No. 24 jersey over the arena.
The glorious history of a team depends not only on how many championships it has won, but also on how many retired jerseys hang above the arena.
Jeanie Buss is also ambitious, and the current Lakers Big Three have the ability to create a new dynasty. As long as the dynasty opens, then the Big Three are eligible to retire their jerseys after retirement, adding three retired jerseys to the Lakers, which is also an honorable thing.
Just before the start of the new season, Jerry Buss had already decided to hand over the Lakers to Jeanie Buss to manage. Jerebus has made it clear that as long as the Lakers can establish a new dynasty under the management of Jeanie Buss, then the position of president will be taken over by Jeanie Buss.
The reason why Jerry Buss made such a decision is inseparable from the two records set by the Lakers last season. Although Jerebus looked down on the Zen master, the Zen master did what others could not do, and Jerebus had to admit the ability of the Zen master.
Especially in the trade and use of Wu Di, the Lakers have been enhanced by more than one notch.
Jerebus is no longer in charge of the Lakers' affairs and has begun to cultivate, he is old, often sick, and does not have much energy to take care of the Lakers.
Jeanie Buss now has a monopoly on power in the Lakers, and she quickly reached an agreement with the Zen master to tilt her tactics in Wu Di's favor. This is another signal to Kobe Bryant that Wu Di is here to take over your class.
Jenny did this to give Kobe Bryant a vaccination, telling Kobe not to do too much, and not to shout out that only one of the two could be left like he did ten years ago. If Kobe Bryant still wants to do this, this move by Jeanie Buss is telling Kobe Bryant that I will choose Wu Di.
When there is an accurate answer to something that has not yet happened, there is a good chance that it will not happen. Kobe Bryant is not stupid, knowing that doing so will trade him, is he still at odds with Jeanie Buss?
Of course not, Kobe Bryant is reluctant to leave the Lakers, and the Lakers can give him the maximum salary until he retires. In the Lakers, he will always be the core, even if it is honorable, as long as he is in the first day, the Lakers will not let him come down from the core position, at most it is a double core.
The most important thing is that the Lakers can satisfy Kobe's desire to win. The Lakers have a strong roster and can easily enter the playoffs, and it will be easier for them to win the championship.
No one dislikes having fewer championship rings, and Kobe Bryant is no exception, and if it is possible, he wants to have all ten of his fingers full of championship rings.
With so many things on the Lakers' behalf, how could he possibly want to leave? He doesn't want to leave and will inevitably compromise with Lakers management.
As long as there is no fanning by Wu Di, it will be smooth and excessive. After the core handover is smooth, the Lakers will not make waves again for the next ten years and will definitely be a playoff powerhouse.
Therefore, although it seems to the outside world, the Lakers are already like a powder keg, and they only need a little spark to blow up with a "bang".
But there hasn't been much change within the Lakers, because Wu Di still passes to Kobe Bryant for most of the first and third quarters. Kobe Bryant's shooting power hasn't decreased much, it's just that more often than not, he is playing without the ball.
This reduces the intensity of Kobe's confrontation and is able to protect Kobe from injury, which is good for Kobe's career.
Amid speculation, the Lakers hosted the Hawks to kick off the November game.
The Hawks' lineup has not changed much, Al Horford, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby, sixth man Jamal Crawford, important benches Morris Evans, Zazapachusia and others have not changed much, and rookie Jeff Teague has also performed well and signed Joe Smith to supplement the bench lineup.
At the beginning of the game, Joe Johnson once again challenged Kobe, and Joe Johnson, who is in his playing years, has made about 18 shots in the past two years, because the Hawks' lineup is strong, and Joe Johnson's fame has not been able to be improved.
Joe Johnson thinks he's no worse than the superstars, but he never likes the audience. He thinks it's all because Atlanta is too small and the ball market is not thriving. He is not weaker than any No. 2 position, so every time I see Kobe, I can't help but want to compete with Kobe.
As long as he can beat Kobe, his exposure will rise, and he may be able to make himself better.
However, there is nothing comparable between Kobe and Joe Johnson, in Kobe's eyes, everyone is inferior to him, and the prerequisites for comparison do not exist. He only has Wu Di in his eyes now, and he will find Wu Di's mistakes again to show his core position.
Joe Johnson felt insulted when he saw Kobe ignore him, and he decided to humiliate Kobe with a goal.
