The conversation between Fox and Kobe Bryant, of course, Luke didn't know. And Luke doesn't want to know. He wanted to win the game early and then go home to rest, and flying every day made Luke feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Now the score is 6:4. The Lakers lead by 2 points.

It's the 76ers' turn to attack again. This time Allen dribbled directly through the half. Snow reached the flank, ready to respond or surprise the cold arrow. Of course, it also restrained Fisher and created opportunities for Aaron.

Allen singled with the ball, and Kobe Bryant was not idle, and went up directly to force it. But Allen is not so good at stealing, Allen is protecting the ball while observing the situation of his teammates. Seeing this, Luke shook off Fox, who was guarding him, and began to run, and Allen also understood and handed the ball directly to Luke. Luke moves sideways before Rick Fox and Horace Grange rush to the front and sideways a babyhook to hit. Diane Ganon stood up and cheered. And Lakers fans are more amazed, this stunt that won a lot of glory for the Lakers back then appeared on the court again, but this time it was the opponent.

Jerry Bas, who was sitting on the sidelines, called the team manager directly, pointed at Luke and said, "Go collect all his information!" ”

"Boss, Phil has collected it." The manager handed over the prepared documents to Bath.

"Well, yes, Luke Wharton, Californian. is still Bill Wharton's son, and his salary is only $1 million. He's a good player. Why didn't the team sign him in the first place? Jerebus asked.

The team manager smiled wryly and said, "It's not that we didn't sign him, it's that he didn't come at all." We weren't very optimistic about him when we were in college. Also injured. And you know, most white players choose to join the NBA after college, but he went straight in after two years of study, and he missed the draft registration time (mainly because he was afraid of not being selected), didn't participate in the draft, and went straight to the tryout. And he was the Celtics at the beginning, and then he played a score, didn't stop for a minute, and signed directly with the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Celtics couldn't keep him at all. There's nothing we can do. ”

"Well, that's not your mistake. But now the Celtics, Ziz, so in this case, after this game, you go and get in touch with the Philadelphia 76ers and ask for this Luke's offer. Jerry Bas gritted his teeth and said, "Except for O'Neal and Kobe, we can consider everyone else they want." Then get in touch with Bill Walton and let him influence his son and let him come to the Lakers. Even if that doesn't work, not this season, we can let him come next season and we'll have a big contract in place for him. Guarantee his status. ”

"Yes, boss! I'll get the job done. The manager assured.

Jerry Bass was a little distressed after speaking, O'Neal's salary of more than $20 million was already a bit high in this era (of course, Joe's horrific $30 million was a miracle). In the future, Kobe Bryant will also ask for a big contract to keep him. Now there's another Luke, and the Coalition luxury tax must be high. But Jerry Bass is not afraid, he knows that this will come back, and his vision has always been accurate, for example, the selection of James Worthy instead of Wilkins can be seen in the uniqueness of his vision. He sees Luke now like he saw James Worthy back then, no, another Elvin Johnson, and Bass wanted him.

The game was still going on, and just as Jeribas was talking to his team manager, the 76ers launched a fierce offensive attack. They knew that the Lakers now have the biggest bug in the league - Shaquille O'Neal, and there is no way to do it on the inside, so they launched an outside attack, they replaced Snow and replaced Aaron McGee to increase the firepower of the outside. And today's 76ers players are hot and hot, Allen didn't hit except for the first shot, all the other shots were hit, and Aaron McGee hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, and then shot 3 of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, and 4 of 5 three-pointers in 2 points. Of course, Luke is not bad and has not missed a shot yet. Even though O'Neal and Kobe Bryant worked tirelessly, the score was still overtaken by the 76ers, and until the end of the first quarter, the 76ers entered the break with a 6-point lead of 38:32.

"Fei'er, I'll play the second quarter." Kobe Bryant said to Phil Jackson.

"Oh, okay." Phil Jackson was surprised for a moment, then agreed.

On the other side, Larry is laying out tactics: "Wait for Reid to be the main point of attack......"

"Coach!" Luke shouted. "What's the matter?" Larry asked, drawing everyone's eyes to him.

"That, I want to do it in the second quarter too." Luke rubbed his head.

"Why?" Larry then asked.

"Well, I agreed to go up." Luke then touched his head.

"Who did you promise?" Larry pressed on.

"That, that......" Luke was embarrassed to say yes Kobe.

"It can't be your girlfriend, right?" Aaron coaxed to the side.

"Aha......" the other players laughed.

", of course not." Luke kicked Aaron away. "Anyway, I want to go!"

Larry looked at Luke with a resolute look on his face and said, "Okay, you pick up on the second quarter." This time the tactics changed, and the main attack was Luke ......" Larry then laid out the tactics. Luke breathed a sigh of relief that he hadn't broken his promise.

The timeout ended, and both sides returned to the field. O'Neill and Horis Granger went down to rest and replaced them with Mark Madsen and

Robert Hawley (this guy also mixed well in the San Antonio Spurs) formed the interior line, Kobe Bryant continued to be on the court, the small forward was replaced by Devin George, and the point guard was Ron Harber (he was one of the important contributors to the Chicago Bulls' second three-game hegemony and the Los Angeles Lakers' three-game hegemony - Phil Jackson's small follower, wherever Phil went, he went, as the on-court coach and spiritual leader of the "triangle tactics", and finally won the championship for the Lakers in 00 and 01, Of course, it's not possible now, and the championship has already been booked by the Philadelphia 76ers).

And the Philadelphia 76ers are a typical bench lineup without Allen. Luke and Michael Reid form the backcourt, Tony Kukoc is a small forward, and the interior twin towers are Big Ben and Nazr Mohammed. Both of these facelifts have started in some smaller teams. Suffice it to say how luxurious this lineup is.

The two sides are tense, and the second quarter of the game is about to begin.
