D'Antoni was sad this year. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a coach who just won the championship, the Lakers didn't ask him to leave, and in fact he did really well last season, Kupchak and Jerry Buss, who is still in control of the Lakers, were happy with him, and they didn't consider firing him for the time being, and executed the last year of his four-year coaching contract.

And then D'Antoni himself certainly doesn't want to leave, and now the talent of the Lakers roster can't be overflowed, it can be described as an explosion, which coach is willing to leave after finally sitting firmly as the head coach of such a team?

D'Antoni certainly didn't want to.

Even Kupchak said to D'Antoni at work last night: "Mike, we have only one goal this year, which is to defend the title!" That's the only task......"

D'Antoni didn't feel any strange when he heard such a goal, even if the Lakers were a little slack after winning the championship in the new season, as long as they could play eight or nine percent of the strength of last season, they would still be the strongest team in the league, as long as they were stable, there was not much pressure to defend the title.

However, the key problem is not to ensure that last season's strength is eighty or ninety, if you want to do this, it is too easy for the Lakers team that D'Antoni is now coaching, the talent is even more explosive than last year, and the young players have grown for another year.

The main factor is that D'Antoni has received the latest fitness reports from the players who have returned to the team after this summer......

D'Antoni watched from the sidelines as the Lakers' soul played against Antetokounmpo on the court.

Kobe Bryant and Antetokounmpo played one-on-one, playing 24 points, whoever scored 24 points first won, and if he doesn't score, he can make up the basket, but if the ball doesn't go into the ground, the offense and defense will be converted.

"Phew, Giannis, I haven't seen you grow a lot in months! Come, and uncle, I'll pick it. "Kobe Bryant's mouth is so poisonous, he took advantage of the title from the beginning, and it is said that he cried alive when he was training with Kwame Brown in 06.

Sure enough, Antetokounmpo was stimulated by the title of uncle, and he didn't want others to think of him as a child since last year.

Antetokounmpo said angrily, "Kobe, I'm not a child...... Depend on! So despicable! ”

Just when Antetokounmpo was angry and wanted to verbally counterattack Kobe, Kobe Bryant passed through the crotch and scored the first shot with one hand under the basket.

"Wow......"

The rest of the Lakers watching the game on the sidelines cheered loudly, and Kobe Bryant also raised an eyebrow at Antetokounmpo proudly.

Bryant then scored seven or eight shots in a row from Antetokounmpo, making it 18-0 with three or two shots.

Kobe Bryant looks better than last season, because the injury has been fully recovered, so there is no need to worry about the injury getting worse, you can do it at will, although the explosiveness is much worse than before, and it is a little lower than last season, but completely healthy can do things without caring about anything, Kobe Bryant does not look worse than last season.

And D'Antoni's worries soon followed.

In fact, when Kobe Bryant scored the fifth goal, he was obviously a little slower, but he still suppressed the strength of Antetokounmpo, a young man with talent and skill but no experience, but after scoring three more goals, Antetokounmpo's advantage began to show.

Young! Energetic! Finally, Antetokounmpo successfully defended Kobe's tenth ball, and scored several layups on Kobe's head in a row, and seeing that he was about to catch up with the score, Kobe began to cheat, as long as Antetokounmpo passed him, he couldn't keep up with his steps, and he fouled.

In the end, Kobe Bryant relied on a cheeky face to win 24-20.

"Hey, scumbag, look at your scoundrel's play, it gives people a feeling that their legs are weak, I know, I also think Sister-in-law is very beautiful, but you can't take care of your body so much!" Liu Ren quipped after the game.

"you, I haven't played a game for too long, it's a little rusty, when I get my physical fitness up, I'll still abuse you little brat, you make fun of you like this, Sister Vanessa, next time you come to my house to see how she cleans you up." In Kobe's eyes, Liu Ren is still a little kid......

Kobe and Liu Ren began to fight each other again, except for Larry Nance who thought he had offended Kobe Bryant because of some trivial things, and has always been afraid of Kobe, and the newcomers Monroe and Bi Yongbo were surprised that Liu Ren and Kobe seemed to have a very good relationship, everyone else was too familiar with the two, and they went to each other to train themselves after watching the two make a fuss for a while.

Just like Kobe Bryant said, there is still more than half a month to go before the preseason starts, they have to pull up their fitness, and next season is the time for their group of young people to compete for the starting position!

The Lakers now have three people in the starting lineup, Kobe Bryant, Liu Ren, Green, and the other point guard positions and center positions have not yet been confirmed as starters, even if Monroe, who has just arrived, is ready to play on the bench, but he doesn't mind competing for the starting position.

For the point guard position, the Lakers have Green as the actual playmaker, and in fact, McCollum and Antetokounmpo have the opportunity to fight for the starting point guard position.

The center is Gasol, Monroe, and Whiteside in the competition, Gasol doesn't care so much about the starting position, but he is certainly happy to start.

Speaking of the Lakers center position, the three people who are most likely to compete don't care so much whether they are starters or not, including Whiteside, as long as he has enough playing time, of course, if he can start, it is the best, and it is good not to compete for the best sixth man in the bank.

D'Antoni saw that Kobe Bryant was still the same competitive personality as before, and silently left the court and returned to his office......

……

……

At the end of the Lakers' first training day, a physical test report, an observation report of the assistant coach, and an observation report during practice were placed in the general manager's office.

The four siblings, Kupchak, D'Antoni, and Bass, are arguing fiercely over one thing.

"Jenny, I understand what you said, of course we have to have a big demeanor, so I didn't say that we want to trade Kobe, but you see, whether it is the physical test report, or the reports of the coaches and trainers, it shows that Kobe Bryant is likely to have a big decline next season, his age is there, and his physical fitness will inevitably decline, and according to the performance of Kobe Bryant today, it will decline more than a little, the previous Kobe Bryant will not have physical problems after the offseason, and we all know his self-discipline. In that case, if we continue to be the centerpiece, it won't be a good thing for us, and I would suggest talking to him about retiring in style, giving us the rest of the money, or as a role player, I think CJ has the potential to become an All-Star. Jim Bass was dry.

"Wow, my brother, I remember you didn't think much of CJ at the beginning, why do you say that he has All-Star talent now?" Jeanie Buss said in a surprised tone, not giving Jim Buss a chance to refute, and Jeanie Buss continued: "Of course, we all know that CJ has the potential to become a star, but Kobe Bryant is Kobe, and I can't see him back on the bench again, as for the trade? Not only do I disagree, but neither do the fans and the board of directors, but I don't want to ruin our reputation for more than 60 years. ”

"Fame? Can fame be exchanged for a record? You look at Anji, who has the infamy of selling the soul of the team, and exchanged Pierce and Garnett for so many draft picks, and now it has risen when people are not optimistic, and it turns out that Angie did nothing wrong! We have a better record to have a better future! Jim Bass is on the side......

Hearing this, the other three Lakers had inexplicably strange expressions, can the Lakers be in the same situation as the Celtics now?

Kupchak is completely sad for his boss and friend, and it turns out that Jim Buss is still a good guy, and it's good enough to be an NBA owner!

Jenny Buss showed a mockery on her face: "My dear brother, it's really hard for you to be an NBA executive president, your proposal is really good, but as the big boss of the team, I feel that I should veto your proposal, Kobe Bryant's position as the boss of the team is unshakable!" Unless he wants to give way, or the boss kills Kobe Bryant. ”

Decisively, Jim Bass got into a fight with Jeanie Buss in a rage, and then the two almost got into a fight.

Kupchak and D'Antoni felt that the gods should not be left alone if they fought, and the two silently withdrew, even though this was Kupchak's own office.

Outside the office door, Kupchak and D'Antoni looked at each other helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Mike, will you support Jenny or Jim?" Kupchak asked tentatively.

D'Antoni naturally knew that Kupchak had something to say, and he chose another way to answer: "I don't want to be scolded to death by Kobe's 6 billion fans, and I think it was really prescient for Buss Sr. to give 51 percent of the shares to Jenny and leave the position of CEO to Jim." ”

"Hahahaha, Mike, you've become an old fox too," Kupchak laughed, "I have to say, Old Bas is indeed a character, although he dotes on his son, but for the sake of the family, he made a right decision at the last moment......"
