Chapter 185: Celebration Banquet
On the night of beating the Golden State Warriors to advance to the second round.
The Lakers threw a celebration dinner at Three Bridges Bar & Grill.
Generally speaking, it is not worth having a celebration banquet after the first round.
Especially for a giant team like the Lakers.
It's time to celebrate when you win the championship.
It's just past the first round.
It's just that passing the first round this time is really significant.
Overwhelming coverage.
Fans on the Internet are raving.
Lakers fans, Cavaliers fans, Thunder fans, and Mavericks fans.
They all vented their emotions in the virtual world like a holiday.
Lakers fans can certainly understand that.
The home team played so well and did wonders.
At the moment when Wang Shuang killed the warriors.
Many college men's dormitories in China are a slot.
Many people in the school cafeteria do not leave after eating.
Witnessed a miraculous moment.
Cavaliers fans as last year's losers.
I've always felt that the 15-year warriors are invincible.
After all, they conceded two core players.
Irving and Love went back injured, and only James was left alone.
Cavaliers fans are convinced that if the lineup is in lineup.
The Warriors will never be a match for the Cavaliers.
Now the Warriors were killed in the first round.
The Cavaliers swept their opponents early in the East to advance.
There was no opponent in the East to stop the Cavaliers at all.
Without the Warriors, the Cavaliers' chances of winning the championship have increased dramatically.
Cavaliers fans were certainly happy.
As for the Thunder and Spurs fans, they are a thorn in the side of the Warriors.
In 2007, Spurs won the championship.
One of the reasons was that the Dallas Mavericks were eliminated by Black Eight early at that time.
The Spurs are missing the biggest nemesis in the West.
Kill the Suns, and the finals will be a smooth road.
Now the same thing is happening again.
Fans of both teams feel that their home team can reach the finals.
As for the Mavericks fans, it's pure revenge.
In 07, he was blackened by the Warriors, and today the Warriors finally tasted the taste of the Black Eight.
The only sad ones are, of course, the Warriors fans.
Of course, such "hatred and hatred" will not last long.
When a team rises, it naturally becomes a public enemy.
And once the public enemy is defeated, the new team will become the new public enemy.
The Lakers are already the old "public enemies" of the league.
The slogan of "Beat-LA" is exclusive to the league and has no semicolon.
Once in the second round, the Lakers' supporters are bound to dwindle considerably.
Lakers players don't care about that.
Knocking out the Warriors in the first round gave everyone confidence.
At Three Bridges Bar & Grill, everyone has a blast.
Drinking, singing, chatting, venting the inner joy and the tension that comes with the series.
Wang Shuang and Kobe Bryant were very restrained at the banquet.
For Kobe, the championship is worth celebrating.
Even if it's a division champion, he'll not say a word.
It's just that this time there is no way, it is the boss Bass Jr. who asked that it must be opened.
Kobe also knew in his heart that this was not for himself.
but for the king.
The Lakers are already overdone by making the playoffs.
Now the Black Eight Miracle has been created, and it is already an excess of excess.
Wang's role in this series needs no explanation.
The king averaged 21 points, 13 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal per game throughout the series.
And the average playing time per game is 46 minutes.
It can be said that the basic field is full.
Amazing fitness, unbeatable frontcourt rebounding.
Although his technique is still relatively rough.
But it is by virtue of the vitality of both offensive and defensive ends.
Forcibly scattered the warriors.
Such a player is the core of the team.
The Lakers have already regarded Wang Shuang as the core of the future.
Therefore, Wang Shuang is the protagonist of this celebration banquet.
In the summer, Wang Shuang will become a full free agent.
If the Lakers don't serve him well.
Wang Shuang could have left Los Angeles for another team.
When the time comes, any team in the league will give Wang Shuang a maximum salary.
The Lakers can't keep it if they want to.
Little Bass, who had sneered at Wang Shuang before.

nbsp; Now I have to go all out to curry favor with this cash cow.
At the celebration banquet, Bass Jr. and general manager Kupchak have been circling Wang Shuang.
Even when he spoke, Wang Shuang was specifically mentioned.
I also want Wang Shuang to make a winning speech.
Wang Shuang's character is very humble.
But I thought that I had to complete the task of snatching Kobe's boss.
He had to say: "It's just a small step on our way to the playoffs, we're going to go further." So, this won't be the last celebration feast. β
He held his glass high like the boss of a team.
shouted, "Salute! β
βSaluteοΌβ
The fans raised their glasses in response.
In the NBA, where there are many black players.
There are very few such scenes.
Everyone loves to spray champagne.
Or babble.
Wang Shuang has no interest in black culture.
But he stood in the center, toasting the moment.
Everyone responded in unison.
Even the silent Kobe raised his glass.
As if celebrating the ascension of a new king.
In the first-round series, Bryant averaged 23 points per game.
His performance in key moments is still unquestionable.
But on the whole, Wang Shuang's role is obviously more obvious.
Kobe Bryant seems to have gone back to the 2000s.
He became a sharp knife instead of the heart of the team.
Wang Shuangcai is the team's anchor.
You can't take a break for a minute.
His role is so comprehensive.
His centrality is well deserved.
Drank the red wine in the glass.
Wang Shuang found that the system still did not determine that he became the boss of the Lakers.
"Looks like we're going to have to win the game in the future..."
Wang Shuang was still slightly disappointed when he saw that the system did not respond.
The main quest is now nearing its end.
Won the first round, and the progress was 4 points ahead.
There are 8 points left to make progress.
No more, no less, just to win the Western Finals and enter the finals.
You can complete the main quest to grab the boss.
It seems that you have to enter the finals.
This is still quite difficult.
The Lakers' second-round opponent will be the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers took out the Clippers in the first round.
Now it's against the Los Angeles team again.
The Trail Blazers will undoubtedly be the public enemy of Los Angeles.
For the Lakers, the Trail Blazers are a relatively easy opponent to play.
In the semifinals, the Spurs and Thunder met early.
The two superteams have to fight each other.
And the Trail Blazers were able to take out the Clippers in the first round.
Mainly because the Clippers have been affected by injuries.
If Paul doesn't get hurt, the Clippers won't have much of a problem getting past the Portland duo.
After the celebration feast.
Little Bas found Wang Shuang privately.
said that he wanted to talk to Wang Shuang.
As for what to talk about, of course Wang Shuang knows.
It's nothing more than a contract for next season.
Now Bass Jr. regrets very much why he didn't listen to Kupchak in the first place.
should sign a two-year guarantee contract with Wang Shuang.
And include a team option in the contract.
Now well, the player options.
Once Wang Shuang is unhappy, he can leave at any time.
When the time comes, the Lakers will not have a single chicken feather left.
Bass Jr. was a businessman, a capitalist.
Capitalists are bent and stretched.
For the future Lakers' achievements.
For the team's box office.
Little Bass, who didn't have a good relationship with Wang Shuang before.
Now I can lower my posture and have a good relationship with Wang Shuang.
They talked about next season's contract.
Wang Shuang said: "You should talk to my agent about this matter, I have an agent, Pelinka." β
"Of course, the specifics will be discussed with him, of course, but we also need your... Your attitude and thoughts? β
"My attitude and thoughts? My thinking is, I'm going to finish the season. Bass, our celebration was really early, it was only the first round, it was too early. β
"I know, but the Warriors with 73 wins over Black Eight are also worth celebrating. By the way, I heard that you still live in an apartment? I have a house near Santa Monica beach with a view of the Pacific Ocean, do you have ......"
"I'm not interested! It's time for me to go, I live in the apartment and feel pretty fast. It's so jolly. β
