She didn't know if her father knew about the plan of "Qingjun's side", but she felt that even if her father knew, he might not object, because his father was the one who was most jealous of West's prestige in the Lakers.

Even, she suspected that this was her father's plan, and it was only carried out by Jim Bass and her hands.

This plan actually made her very uncomfortable, because she was the main villain, Jim Bass only threw a start and ran away, and she was the one who really offended West.

But in order to increase her weight in her father's heart and show her abilities, plus Phil Jackson, she also had to do it.

After a pause, she said, "The team was swept three times in a row, and the first time it was swept was when Mr. Phil Jackson was still with the Bulls, and he led the Bulls to the championship that season.

He's got four championships with the Bulls, I mean, he's a very talented guy, and we can't simply put the blame for the team's losses on his head, which is unfair.

Whether Mr. Phil Jackson is responsible, Mr. West, or they are jointly responsible for the team's loss, there is no final decision from the management at this time.

My suggestion is that we can sit down and talk about it, and I personally want them to stay, the Lakers need them. ”

Several reporters looked at each other, they didn't know before, this woman is very powerful, and after a few words, they pulled West in, and threw the responsibility on Jerry West's head, and even revealed that West might want to leave the Lakers, it seems that the Bass family is already very dissatisfied with West.

After sending a few reporters, Phil Jackson came out, and Jeanie Bass went around the corner of the hallway, kissed passionately, and whispered.

"Phil, you can stay in peace, the best outcome this time is for West to resign and leave, and the worst outcome is for you to stay."

"Thank you, Jenny!"

"I hope the Lakers will change in the new season, my father is not afraid to spend money, as long as the record goes up, he is willing to spend as much money as he wants."

"Jenny, I promise."

"Also, I don't want to see Tekken shine in the Staples Center any more, I want to see the Los Angeles fans cheering for our star, not for him."

"Jenny, this requires Kobe to become stronger, to be able to limit the play of the Iron Fist King, so that he can stop being so dazzling."

"We're going to do our best to develop Kobe."

"I'm sure the OK combination will be stronger next season."

……

Several reporters who had just interviewed Jeanie Buss came to the players' tunnel and happened to bump into Jerry West head-on, and hurriedly went up to interview.

West had just been on the court for a while and was now ready to check out the locker room to comfort O'Neal and Kobe.

"Mr. West, Miss Jeanie Buss said you and Phil Jackson should take responsibility for the team's loss and hinted that you might leave the Lakers, what do you think?"

"Mr. West, will you take responsibility for the team's consecutive sweeps?"

"Mr. West, the Lakers were built by you, but since the Magic retired, the Lakers have lost their competitiveness and have never been involved in the Western Conference championship, let alone the championship, do you think your roster construction is correct?"

After a few questions were raised, Jerry West was a little confused.

What's wrong? Didn't you want Phil Jackson to leave, why did it get on my head? Is Jenny Buss crazy?

No, no, no, Jeanie Bass doesn't have that power, Jim Bass also doesn't have the power and the ability to move him, and the only one who has the guts and the power to move him seems to be ...... Jerebas.

"Boss, you ......"

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Sorry, I don't have time for an interview right now." He quickly refused the interview with a smile on his face, squeezed away a few reporters and left.

"Maybe the Lakers are going to have a mess."

"Probably not, there will be a compromise where the Bass family will take back some of the power from West."

"I think there's a Jerry Buss in it."

"Judging by Jeanie Buss's attitude, there's a good chance that Phil Jackson will stay."

"She and Phil Jackson are in love, and supporting Jackson is for sure."

"In fact, after firing Phil Jackson, can the Lakers hire a better head coach?"

"George Carr?"

"Come on, what's George Carl without the Iron Fist King?"

"Pat Riley, please?"

"It's impossible for Pat Riley to come back, he can decide everything in the Heat, the Heat owner trusts him very much, but it's impossible to come to the Lakers, West is likely to be purged, let alone him?"

Looking at West's back, several reporters began to discuss.

The internal turmoil of the Lakers has nothing to do with the SuperSonics, and after returning to the locker room, they briefly celebrated the victory in the Western Conference finals, and then took a shower and changed clothes, Zhou Quan went to the press conference, and the others were interviewed in the locker room.

"Iron Fist King, lost to the Jazz in the second round, but the West Final can sweep the Lakers, how do you evaluate who is weak and who is strong?" A reporter asked.

Zhou Quan shook his head and said: "You can't compare the strength and weakness of the other two teams through this game that you lost at supersonic speed.

The Jazz have Jazz strengths and weaknesses, and the Lakers are the same, the one we lost, everyone didn't play well, and in the Western Conference finals, everyone played well.

I mean, it's not because the opponent is strong, it's because we didn't play well. Yes, that's what I meant. ”

"Iron Fist King, you're averaging 55.5 points per game in the Western Conference finals, far more than in the first-round and second-round series, and it's definitely because you didn't give your best in the first two series, right?" The reporter asked again.

"Well, for the sake of physical fitness, I do have reservations when I can be sure of promotion." Zhou Quan nodded.

"So in the Western Conference Finals, do you want to end the Western Conference Finals as soon as possible, or do you simply want to sweep the Lakers?" The reporter asked.

"Of course, I hope to end the Western Conference finals as soon as possible and prepare for the finals. There is no essential difference between a sweep and a 4-1 promotion, and if I want to sweep, then there will be no reservations in the second round. Zhou Quan said.

The next reporter asked, "Iron Fist, do you think Phil Jackson should leave the Lakers?" ”

"I'm sorry, it's not about me, it's not convenient for me to comment." Zhou Quan declined to answer the question.

"So do you think Jerry West should be held accountable for the Lakers' three consecutive sweeps?" The reporter asked again.

"Sorry, questions about the Lakers, please go to the Lakers press conference and ask questions." Zhou Quan still refused to answer such questions, so as not to provoke criticism, he didn't want to meddle in things.

At the Lakers press conference, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were both present, Phil Jackson was also there, but Jerry West was not present.

"Mr. Phil Jackson, do you think Jerry West should be held accountable for the Lakers' sweping?" A reporter asked.

A smile curled into the corner of Phil Jackson's mouth, but it quickly disappeared, and he pushed the bridge of his nose and said, "Actually, you should ask this question yourself, not me, it's inconvenient for me to answer this question." ”

"Will your relationship with Miss Jeanie Buss affect the internal affairs of the Lakers?" The reporter asked again.

"Of course not, public is public, private is private, whether it is her or me, it is very clear." Phil Jackson said sternly.

The next reporter was a reporter from Los Angeles TV, who asked, "Phil, the Lakers have been swept three times in a row, proving that the OK combination is not championship competitive, is it possible for management to break them up?" ”

This question caused a commotion among the media reporters below, and also made O'Neal and Kobe Bryant above a little uneasy, and they both looked at Phil Jackson.

Phil Jackson shook his head and said, "It's the job of Mr. Jerry West, the general manager, and he wants to think about this question, not me, so I can't answer you this question." ”

"And what is your personal opinion?" The reporter asked.

Phil Jackson nodded at O'Neal and Kobe Bryant and smiled: "If I continue to be the head coach of the Lakers, then I will suggest to the management that on the basis of the OK combination, the Lakers should continue to strengthen the roster instead of tearing them up." ”

O'Neal and Kobe Bryant couldn't see anything on the surface, but they were relieved in their hearts.

They love the city, they have the highest level of attention here, the financial interests are very high, and the endorsements are one after another, so they really don't want to leave the Lakers, and of course it's the best outcome to stay.

So they now have a crush on Phil Jackson, and it's a guy to get along with.

"Shaq, swept for three years in a row, how do you sum up the failures of these three seasons? Are you frustrated by this? In the future, you will continue to face strong teams like the SuperSonics and Spurs, are you pessimistic about the future? The next reporter asked.

O'Neill shook his head and subconsciously played with his fingers as he considered, "Bad three years, yes, pretty bad. But I'm not depressed, I'm not pessimistic about the future, I believe we will have a future. ”

"What do you think the Lakers' roster needs to be strengthened to have a chance of beating the Sonics?" The reporter continued.

O'Neal thinks of the race against the Sonics, where did he lose? Of course, it was lost on the outside, first of all, Kobe Bryant's point was completely blown up.

However, he knew very well that he could not blame Kobe Bryant because he knew better how powerful Iron Fist was.

Shaking his head, he said: "This is something for the general manager to consider, I just want the team to strengthen the squad, we need more guys in the playing year to join us." ”

"So where do you think the Lakers lost?" The reporter continued to ask.

O'Neill still shook his head and said: "The overall lineup is not as good as the supersonic, in specific aspects, I am not the head coach, I am only responsible for playing." ”

"The Lakers can still win two games against the SuperSonics in the regular season, why were they swept in the Western Conference finals? Do you think this is normal? The reporter asked again.

O'Neal was a little annoyed, and said unhappily: "The regular season is the regular season, and it is different from the Western Finals, you can compare the data of Iron Fist in the regular season and the Western Finals, and you will know what the difference is." ”

"Kobe, what do you think needs to be improved in order to have the strength to fight with Iron Fist?" The next reporter asked.

Kobe Bryant said indifferently: "Defense, offense, from awareness to technique, from experience to psychological warfare, I need to improve." ”

"What did you learn from Tekken during the live G3 fight?" The reporter asked again.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Kobe's eyes, and he said in a more indifferent tone: "I learned a lot, he taught me how to hit the opponent in all directions, from psychology to reality, he taught it very well, I will always remember that game." ”

"Will you and him still be friends?" The reporter asked again.

Bryant said without hesitation: "A game is a game, a personal relationship is a personal relationship, and of course he and I will be friends off the court." ”

The Supersonic side ended the press conference, the two media halls were next to each other, Zhou Quan was waiting outside the back door of the Lakers' hall, and after the Western Finals, he had to say goodbye to O'Neal.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the Lakers' press conference ended.

"Hey, shark." Seeing O'Neill come out, he beckoned.

"Hey, Iron Fist, if you dare to taunt me, I'll fight you." O'Neill said angrily.

"Of course not, I'm here to invite you to Seattle to watch the finals."

At this time, Bryant came to O'Neal's side, and Zhou Quan nodded at him and said to the two.

"Don't have to worry in front of me, I don't have time, I have to modify my Volvo." O'Neill said unhappily.

"I'm going to practice." Bryant said.

"Don't be like this, watching me win, it will motivate you, you should learn how to win on the spot, I will teach you." Zhou Quan sincerely persuaded.

"Get out!"

O'Neill was so angry that he was about to squirt nosebleeds, so he turned around and left.

Kobe also snorted coldly and followed O'Neal away.

"Haha!"

Zhou Quan had fun with the OK combination and was about to leave, when Zhang Li and Xu Jicheng came over.

"Zhou Quan, do you want to go back to the hotel now?" Zhang asked reasonably.

"Brother Zhang, are you in trouble?" Zhou Quan asked.

"Didn't you say there was a roster for the Dream Four?" Xu Jicheng reminded.

"Oh......"

Zhou Quan nodded and said, "In my bag, you can go to the locker room with me to get it." ”

"Zhou Quan, I didn't expect you to sweep the Lakers, and the regular season was obviously 2-2." On the way to the locker room, Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "The strength of the Lakers is mainly concentrated in the main lineup, and the strength of the main lineup is mainly in the OK combination.

The regular season cannot be compared with the series, and the four regular season games are to find out each other and test the role of tactics. ”

"It's one of the best series of your career, better than the four Grand Finals, and it's worth celebrating." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Zhou Quan shook his head and said: "Now Kobe's strength and experience are not as good as Jordan in those seasons, and the average data of 50+ per game on him is not as good as the gold content of 30+ per game on Jordan." ”

Zhang Li and Xu Jicheng nodded, and the former said: "There should be one more point, your current strength should be stronger than those seasons, right?" ”

Zhou Quan nodded: "There has been no improvement in technique and experience, but my physical and mental state is better, and I have more control over the series." ”

"Mental state?"

Zhang Li and the others seemed to be a little incomprehensible, and he explained: "To put it simply, I couldn't have broken out four times in a row before, and three of them were difficult, and after two outbreaks, my body and spirit would be tired and my state would decline, but now my physical and mental state are stronger, so I ......"

"That's why it exploded throughout the series." Zhang said excitedly.

"That's why I have more control over the series." Xu Jicheng said at the same time.

"That's right." Zhou Quan nodded with a smile.
