"I'm glad that the opponent of the Clippers in this series is the Los Angeles Lakers, and I know that at this time, all of you are shouting at the same time, the Lakers, the Lakers, and I also know that you are not taking the Los Angeles Clippers seriously at this time."

"But it doesn't matter, the Lakers are a very strong team, but in my opinion, the Los Angeles Clippers are a stronger team than the Lakers, and we will beat the Los Angeles Lakers in this series, and this is my promise to everyone, and we will surprise everyone who doesn't look down on the Clippers."

"Yes, everyone in this year's playoffs will be amazed by the performance of the Clippers, that we were able to play at a dominant level, that we were able to win the championship after even beating the Los Angeles Lakers, and I swear that we would finish our first-round series in five games in order to prepare for the second-round series."

After the end of the NBA regular season, many teams chose to remain silent because of the preparation for the playoffs, at this time the league because of the Lakers' shocking record, so everyone's eyes are on the Los Angeles Lakers, in these two days without the playoffs, almost all the media are recording the news of the Los Angeles Lakers, so to speak, the Los Angeles Lakers are continuing to be on the board.

It's just that under the share of public opinion in Los Angeles, the headlines of many media have changed on April 23, the first day of the playoffs, and most of the media headlines at this time are no longer Laker-related news, but replaced with a sentence from Sterling, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers' opponent, Los Angeles Clippers.

Settle the series within five games.

And the pictures on the front pages of the major media are also very interesting, such as the Los Angeles Times next to Sterling's picture is a Teletubbies.

Of course. In the playoffs. Before the start of the game. There is nothing wrong with the teams on both sides shouting at each other, even if the other party's shouting seems to be mentally retarded and has no bottom line, it is normal shouting, after all, in the playoffs Sterling cannot say that his team will lose, this will not go into Sterling, and neither team will say so, but although it can be arrogant to say that the words before the playoff game. But there are very few people who can really say such bottomless nonsense, and it is still when everyone is touting the Lakers.

Obviously, at this time, Sterling became the laughing stock of everyone, but what made many people strange was that in the face of Sterling's provocation, the head coach of the Lakers Zhuang Fei did not respond at all, and ordered not to take the Clippers owner in his eyes.

However, the fact that Zhuang Fei and the Lakers did not respond does not mean that others will not respond, for example. Los Angeles Lakers fans.

"Is there something wrong with this guy's brain? Clippers Lakers in five games? He also dared to say that he had the ability to shout here. Why didn't you see how much money he put into the Clippers? ”

"Hehe, this guy has a problem with his brain, and now I'm looking forward to what kind of reaction that Chinese will have, but I don't think Coach Z should be like him, right?"

In the streets of Los Angeles, as the first game of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers approaches, the atmosphere in Los Angeles has become a little hot, almost every corner can always find some people talking about basketball, and can always hear the name of the Lakers or the name of Zhuang Fei appear in the mouths of these people, although the Lakers' performance in the regular season is very rebellious, but this is only the regular season after all, how will the team perform on the stage of the playoffs, everyone is looking forward to it, And at this time, these fans also have a look of contempt for Sterling, another Clippers owner who is not willing to be lonely, and this guy's reputation in Los Angeles is extremely bad.

"Zhuang, when are you going to hide, now the atmosphere outside should be about to drop, and tomorrow's playoffs are about to start."

In the Los Angeles Lakers' head coach's office, Kupchak looked at Zhuang Fei helplessly and said that since returning to Los Angeles after defeating the Trail Blazers on April 21, the Chinese has been hiding in his office and not accepting anyone's visits, even the Los Angeles Lakers players, which is contrary to the purpose of this team for a team as important as business and competition.

"Well, it's almost cooling, thanks to Sterling, he helped us divert our attention" Zhuang Fei put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile, after hearing Zhuang Fei's answer, Kupchak was also speechless, of course he knew Sterling's wild words in the recent period, he and Zhuang Fei also did not respond, in his opinion, responding to Sterling's remarks is a very bad thing, even the Clippers players themselves are ashamed to answer such questions.

"Zhuang, although it is your freedom to deal with the media, but I have received a lot of complaints here, and I think there are a lot of them on the league side, although you have this right, but it is better to be cautious when using it" For the personality coach in front of him, Kupchak finally reminded him a little helplessly, and at this time Zhuang Fei also nodded in response slightly.

"Well, I know" looked at the general manager of the team who began to speak again, Zhuang Fei immediately smiled and nodded, recently Zhuang Fei found that the general manager of the Lakers is a bit of a momentum to the general manager of the Timberwolves, Kevin McHale, sometimes he can find a reason and then be able to talk to Zhuang Fei for a long time, for his general manager such a nag attribute, Zhuang Fei is a little insensitive.

"That's right, Zhuang, this is our team's contract renewal, you can take a look" Finally, seeing Zhuang Fei like this, Kupchak also shook his head a little helplessly, but in the end he didn't speak again, but handed over a report to Zhuang Fei.

"Huh? Is Hardaway reluctant to renew his contract? When Zhuang Fei took the Lakers contract renewal report from Kupchak's hand, he was also stunned when he saw it.

Most of the players in this report chose to renew their contracts with the team, after all, the Lakers' renewal conditions are very lucrative, but among these players, Hardaway did not agree, and Zhuang Fei thought that Hardaway was not too low when he saw that the contract given by the Lakers was 3 years and 52 million, which is not low, you know, Hill and Webb both accepted a 3-year 49 million contract extension, obviously, this is the second contract handed out by the Lakers, The first contract was supposed to be the same amount as Weber Hill, but it looked like it was rejected, and this time the more lucrative contract was rejected again.

"Hardaway isn't a money-grubber, is he?" Zhuang Fei also put down the contract report in his hand at this time, and then slumped on his office chair and muttered to himself.

"Hardaway is indeed not a money-hungry player, originally we thought he disliked 3 years and 49 million was too low, so we increased the price, and after he refused, he also told us that he wanted to postpone the contract extension, he hoped to consider it at the end of the season, and he also said that if he decided to renew his contract with the Lakers to stay here, he could choose a lower contract" After hearing Zhuang Fei's muttering, Kupchak on the side also explained. And after listening to Kupchak's explanation, Zhuang Fei also sat up slightly and nodded.

"Did he really say he would think about renewing his contract after the season?" Zhuang Fei was also a little puzzled at this time, and looked at Kupchak again and asked.

"That's right, that's what he said," Kupchak nodded again.

"That's it" Zhuang Fei also pinched his chin at this time, and his brows were also wrinkled, and soon, under Kupchak's curious gaze, the head coach of the Lakers actually smiled after thinking for a moment.

"He is really different from Hill Webber, he has his own ideas, and it is a very direct and respectful idea, since he said to postpone the contract extension, postpone it, and talk about it after the season is over" Finally, Zhuang Fei also said to Kupchak with a smile.

Although Kupchak was a little confused at this time, he still nodded.

Hardaway's contract extension does not affect the Lakers' first-round playoffs with the Clippers, and although Zhuang Fei has refused to be interviewed by everyone in his office in recent times, as Kupchak said, there are occasions when he still needs to pay attention.

The pregame press conference for the Los Angeles Lakers home game against the Los Angeles Clippers in the press room at Staples Arena in Los Angeles, April 24, 2005.

This is Zhuang Fei's first appearance after leaving the Trail Blazers, in this case, the head coach of the Lakers is naturally the focus of everyone, and at this time, the reporter who has been holding back for a long time is also throwing all kinds of problems to Zhuang Fei's side, which also makes the Clippers head coach Dunleavy on the side very embarrassed.

After all, for any NBA head coach, it is not a very cool thing to be ignored like this, but on this day, although Dunleavy is a little embarrassed, he is willing to let these reporters surround Zhuang Fei like this, after all, he is too afraid that reporters will ask the question about the team owner recently, and he now feels ashamed and embarrassed.

"Mr. Zhuang, in recent times, the owner of the Clippers Sterling thinks that they can easily beat the Lakers, what do you think about this issue, do you agree with Sterling's statement?"

Although Dunleavy kept praying in his heart that these reporters would never mention this issue, it was obvious that these reporters' questions were not diverted by his prayers, so after these reporters asked this question at the end of the press conference, Dunleavy's face on one side immediately turned to the side, and Zhuang Fei laughed out loud after hearing this question, and at this time, Zhuang Fei's laughter made Dunleavy unable to raise his head in shame.

"I think you can ask Mr. Dunleavy next to me about this question, I think he has more say than I do."

After saying this sentence with a smile, Zhuang Fei did not care about Dunleavy who changed his face again nor these reporters, but turned around and left directly, but even when he left, this Chinese still did not forget to laugh. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
