437. Those things at the top
What should come will come after all!
Wall and Beal looked at the scrappy Lakers in front of them, and their hearts were cool. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Antetokounmpo, McCollum, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside all looked at the two of them with fiery eyes.
They just want to come over and get close! I just want to get acquainted with the young people on the Lakers' side, and nine times out of ten the Lakers will be disbanded in the future, they just want to get acquainted first, and then see if they can poach people when the time comes!
Liu Ren also doesn't know when Antetokounmpo, McCollum, Green, and Whiteside added him, and were dubbed the Lakers' "five less" by fans.
All five of them are under the age of 25 and have already shown their talent, and while not many people think the Lakers will have a chance to keep all of these players, it's a good idea.
"Senior John, today's game will not be like the last one, Kobe Bryant and Paul will play today, we will definitely win back!" Green said with a warlike spirit.
Green has always been the spokesperson for the Lakers' young players, first because he is older, about the same age as Whiteside, and then because Whiteside talks less, Green is in charge of this aspect.
Wall watched the Lakers not only have high morale among the young players, but also Kobe Bryant and Gasol are actively warming up, and even Nash is working on three-point shooting, except for the injured Nick Young and Henry, who is not on the activation list, the other players are very motivated.
"It's just a regular season! Do you need to be so serious? You weren't so motivated to play knights in the first two days! There was a hint of despair in Wall's heart.
After watching the Lakers' last game against the Cavaliers, Wall has lost hope of beating the Lakers.
Even James, who is trying his best, can't lead the team to victory over the Lakers, let alone their Wizards?
Wall thought wrongly, the last game the Lakers played the Cavaliers was not unmotivated, but more cautious, because the Cavaliers were too difficult to deal with, if it weren't for James's physical decline due to overdraft in the Heat for four years, maybe James would have been overturned at the last moment.
But playing the Wizards is different, they can't wait to vent their desire for revenge before the game even starts.
These people are stingy!
In my heart, I felt that the game had gone far, but Wall still had to be tough: "We beat you in the last game, and this time it's the same!" Wait for us to sweep you away! ”
The Lakers all showed a grim smile, just like this, if the other party doesn't resist, it won't be interesting.
Watching the Lakers return to their bench with a grim smile, Wall felt that he really owed his mouth, and said that he would come over and set it up!
But to Wall's surprise, Bill looked at him with adoring eyes: "John, worthy of being my boss!" We are not afraid of them, and we fight with them! ”
Looking at the young and energetic third-graders, Wall thought: Young is good! You don't have to worry about anything, you want to be tough when you see your opponent.
But in this James-ruled East, there is no future if you don't make friends with the young stars of other teams and find more helpers!
But it is always impossible to discourage Bill's enthusiasm is not.
Wall squeezed out a smile: "Of course, we fought with them!" We can't let them underestimate us. ”
However, after the game started, Wall knew that the Lakers did not underestimate them, but that no matter who the opponent of the Lakers is, as long as they win against them this season, they will go all out to get revenge, as for who the opponent is, it is not their consideration at all, because they are the strongest!
In order to gain an advantage from the start, D'Antoni and Gasol discussed it and agreed to let Whiteside start!
Today's Lakers starters became Clarkson, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside.
The Wizards started Wall, Beal, Pierce, **, Gortat.
In order to win the jump ball, Gasol chose to play this game as a substitute, leaving Whiteside to start.
The game started with Whiteside winning the jump ball with a huge reach advantage.
Because it was Whiteside who jumped the ball, Liu Ren was already fast when the referee threw the ball into the air, and Kobe Bryant got the ball that Whiteside picked up and threw it directly to the opponent's basket.
The Wizards players immediately reacted, and the Lakers' once-famous opening two-second fast break last season is here again!
But when they were about to turn around, Liu Ren was already hanging on the basket!
The timer time is exactly over two seconds past, and the third second is less than that!
Liu Re smiled cruelly.
The time of slaughter begins now!
……
……
The Staples Center, which also has offices belonging to the Lakers, is rarely used.
Today, the big boss behind the Lakers, Jeanie Buss, is here.
'I think we need to talk about the quality young players in our squad because there are a lot of young players whose contracts are expiring at the end of the season. Jenny Bass said to Kupchak.
Originally, Jenny Buss wanted to wait for Jim Buss and Kupchak to defeat the Lakers to the bottom, and she had an excuse to fire both of them, she personally was very optimistic that this dumb brother could bring the team well, and Kupchak was too old to think about forming his giant combination all day long, and then both giant combinations failed in ten years.
What I didn't expect was that in the past two years, Kupchak's shit-like luck has actually managed to get so many talented young people.
Giving Jeanie Buss is both a surprise and a worry, and even though she has the biggest stake and decision-making power in the team, it makes it even more difficult to get Jim Buss out of office.
But Jenny Bass thought about it and found that it wasn't impossible!
As long as Kupchak supports her, she can still justifiably let Jim Bass continue to be his young master.
Kupchak was still thinking about what Jeanie Bass was here for, and when he heard Jeanie Bass's words, he realized that it was for this.
That's exactly what Kupchak is like, with young players so talented that most of them have the talent to pay the max, and it's almost impossible for one team to keep that squad to build a dynasty.
So Kupchak told him about the results of his discussions with Jim Buss, the current No. 1 executive of the Lakers: "Yes, Jim and I have discussed that if we win the championship this season, we will trade some of our assets and rebuild the team around Liu. ”
"Mickey, don't you feel unwilling?" Jeanie Bass said in a demagogic tone.
"Unwilling?"
"That's right, are you willing to tear them apart with such a talented lineup?" Jeanne Bass seduced like a demon.
Kupchak remained calm: "I also want to keep them, but I can't do it with the team's current income, although we have the huge income brought by Time Warner, but it is difficult to maintain a healthy team operation with a salary of more than 100 million, after all, the luxury tax is too high!" Not only do we have to win the championship, but we also want the Bass family to make enough profits. ”
"No, no, no, what era are you talking about, boss, they all took effect in the summer of 16 with new contracts."
"Even then, we can't afford too much salary cap, except for the contracts of Kobe Bryant and Gasol, we can keep up to three of the remaining players, plus the rookie contracts of Clarkson and LaVine, we will still be very competitive."
"What if I had a way to get more sponsorships? Maybe we'll get more money than we have now, apart from the team's spending? And keep the players we want, even if it's a lot of luxury tax! ”
Kupchak was silent when he heard this, and if he wanted to say that the younger generation of the Bass family, Kupchak was the most convinced, and it was the woman in front of him.
The reason why the Bass family can still live so chic after the death of the old Bass depends on the 20-year maximum broadcast income of 5 billion from Time Warner.
If there really is someone who can replicate the supergiants of the ancient Celts, Kupchak believes that only the woman in front of him has that courage.
Forming a combination of explosive talents to win the championship has become an obsession of Kupchak, even if he has won the championship in 09 and 10, the Lakers have a great chance of winning the championship this season, but it can't make up for Kupchak's desire to win the championship by crushing the advantage in every position.
Kupchak was silent for a few seconds and then asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"It's easy, get to my side......"
