Chapter 303 Jazz's Persevering Clouds

The post-match press conference ended hastily.

The Jazz stayed in Boston until the second day. Due to the geographical location of Salt Lake City, there were no teams around. It is a series of home games, and the next opponent after the Celtics is the Miami Heat.

The jazz's miraculous 30-game winning streak was not achieved, but compared with what Celtics coach Chris Ford said after the game, no one cared whether they won 30 consecutive victories, and the entire jazz team fell into a trap. In a strange atmosphere.

In addition to the Jazz themselves, the next... also weird is their opponent team for a while.

……

Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat.

The Jazz's lineup hasn't changed much, but the Heat, as a team in the top eight in the East, didn't think about how to stabilize their own record in this game, but unexpectedly presented a wonderful lineup.

Put a center on the inside, and the other four positions are all small outsiders. When they really fought, it was somewhat similar to the Celtics' routine in the previous game.

The Heat tried to suppress the Jazz with an outside attack, but the Celtics had an amazing outside touch, and the Heat didn't have it, so they were hung up by the Jazz and beat the Jazz, leading by 18 points to end the game.

But the strange thing is that the Heat's formation is right to hit the outside line, but the fucking thing is that the proportion of outside shots is surprisingly large.

Although the players on the guard line are not as good as the Celtics' Douglas and Brown, they can't hold back and take too many shots. The main center of the Heat, except for the first quarter, played against Li Shengli in the rest of the time. Even if they lost the game, The data of several players is also quite gorgeous.

What's even more peculiar is that after the game, the Heat coach Langley also ran to the Jazz to shake hands with the players, wishing to touch Li Shengli all over his body, but the result was as expected, Jerry Sloan had another old meal , Spray people into disgrace.

……

The away game continues.

Next is the Detroit Pistons. Don Cheney, the new coach this season, doesn't care how Li Shengli played four at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Greatest kindness.

The last stop on the road trip is the New Jersey Nets.

Chuck Daly, the head coach of the Beast, played with flowers before the game and ran to the Jazz dugout. Daddy Chuck was never a good guy, but Daddy Sloan was not bad either. Before the players played, the head coach would spray up.

Sloan suffered a bit, and with this emotion, Li Shengli and Ma Long went on the court to hang up Derek Coleman who was against them in the All-Star Game. Coleman, who originally averaged 20+ points per game, Only scored 6 points in this game.

The top scorers were all turned off. It is reasonable to say that the Nets should be iron bombed, but Papa Chuck still has wrists. He directly pinched Coleman's shots and transferred a large number of shots to the outside.

Although the Nets are still not as amazing as the Celtics, they are worse than the Heat, coupled with the fatigue of the Jazz's consecutive away games.

In the end...the Nets won the top seed in the Western Conference by 2 points.

……

With four consecutive aways, the Jazz played 2 wins and 2 losses, with a total record of 49 wins and 8 losses. After the Nets, the Jazz finally ushered in a respite and returned to their base camp in Salt Lake City.

The expected turmoil seems to have been deliberately suppressed, even though Jerry Sloan and the management have not explained to everyone, but this does not affect the lingering cloud over the entire Jazz.

The next game.

Home game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Since Magic Johnson retired at the end of 91, he has moved behind the scenes of the Lakers and temporarily served as an assistant coach, while staying in Salt Lake City ahead of time... Johnson even took the initiative to find Li Shengli.

Maybe it was because the incident was not transparent, the magician didn't say anything extra, just chatted about some off topic, and he had an inherent advantage compared with others, because he also invited Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the great Buddha, to go with him. Naturally, there are Thompson and Baylor.

Magician, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Baylor are all famous Lakers. With this luxurious lineup, Li Shengli really couldn't help the magician face, and after the magician left... Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Baylor's work of "instigating rebellion" fully spread out.

Even during this period, Celtics star Larry Bird also jumped out to join in the fun, but he was alone, first ridiculed by the magician, and then scolded by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Baylor. Crying to go back and call someone.

……

For a time, the entire league was in a state of turmoil.

Even though the trade deadline for this season has passed, everyone wants to pave the way for their respective parties next season. Except for the two camps of yellow and green, the other teams are basically not idle. The lobbyists who are related to Li Shengli and can use it There was a door-to-door bombing.

Although it is true that the Jazz management will decide where to go if a trade is to be made, the championship honor that Li Shengli brought to the Jazz cannot be supported. If the league officials are forced to disintegrate the three giants of Lee Marcus, how can the Jazz not give Li Shengli a certain amount of autonomy? option?

……

Two days later is the game against the Lakers, so naturally the training before this cannot be missed.

The current situation is a mess. Although it is said that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, there are three old treasures in the family at once. Ben the team to participate in training.

The Jazz was the new king of the league last season, but the player training is still very hard. Originally, Li Shengli was the first to check in every time, but today is a bit abnormal...

"You're finally here." Crotty waited in the locker room.

"What about the others, why didn't you see anyone?" In the locker room, Li Shengli knew that Ma Long must have arrived as soon as he smelled the smell of feet. The lockers were basically opened, which proved that many people had arrived before him.

"What time is it? We really can't sit still. Karl has already taken everyone to guard the team manager's office." Crotty was a little anxious, "People in the management always avoid us, but today You have to speak clearly."

They all say that the matter has nothing to do with themselves, and they hang on high. Even if it is Li Shengli who is caught in the transaction turmoil, no one can stay out of it, because Li Shengli is here, which means that everyone still has a chance to win the championship. If they really part ways next season, Isn't the Jazz going to be beaten back to their original shape?

"How did this happen? There was no sign of it at the beginning of the season. Why did the All-Stars show up?" Li Shengli cursed. It's fine, and you want to tear yourself out again?

"How could I know. But with today's posture, the management should have a showdown with everyone. Let's go now. After all, this matter...you are the protagonist." Crotty said anxiously.

"What's the situation now, doesn't the coach know the specific reason?"

"All of us don't know. To be honest, this matter is still too strange. The head coaches and management of other teams know about it, but we are the last one, and at this point in time... not before After all, the trade deadline has passed, the season is not over, and this kind of thing is simply adding to our confusion."

"Don't talk about it, let's go together. I want to ask clearly today. If I don't explain it clearly, I smashed their office!"

After speaking, Crotty led Li Shengli to the 'Uprising' site.

A long distance away... Karl Malone's voice came over, in the middle of a group of noisy people, scolding and smashing, and Stockton, who was recovering from his injuries, couldn't sit still, and made a scene with Malone Jazz management.

"Here we come, Li is here."

"Give way, Li is here."

A large group of people made way for Li Shengli, and Malone and Stockton, who took the lead, were even more angry when they saw the protagonist appearing.

"Lee, come on!" Stockton beckoned.

"Damn it, I have to make my words clear today!" Ma Long raised his arms and shouted, "I won't train today, I said, wait here, let me see which idiot wants to send Li away?"

"Is the person here yet?" Li Shengli asked with a cold face.

"Not yet." Stockton replied.

"What about the coach?" Li Shengli asked again.

"The coach didn't come either, but don't worry. There are three of us here, and you want to tear us down? Go ride the horse!" Malone growled violently.

He and Stockton need Li Shengli too much. They don't talk about the friendship between the three brothers, but only talk about the pros and cons of the Jazz. Neither he nor Stockton can understand. What kind of IQ can the management make such a decision?

Even if Li Shengli is used to exchange Olajuwon, the general, or even O'Neal, this deal will be a loss, because Li Shengli will be stronger and more comprehensive than everyone else, and it is more suitable for the Jazz.

at the same time……

Boss Larry Miller and head coach Jerry Sloan actually knew that Malone took the lead in making troubles. Originally, Larry Miller meant to stabilize the morale of the army. This matter will be discussed in the offseason, but the development of the situation has exceeded In his prediction, he didn't know which heartless person wanted to hurt him, but he actually revealed this kind of thing.

"Any suggestions?" Larry Miller asked with a headache.

"You know how to ask me now?" Jerry Sloan expressed his dissatisfaction with Larry Miller for the first time. A stupid thing to cut your own arm?"

"Don't worry, I haven't agreed yet!"

"What? You think Stern's offer is not enough, and you plan to hit him with a big one?"

"Dude, don't say that."

"Then what should I say? Interest and honor, it is obvious that you choose interest."

"You have to understand that as much as I love my team, I'm still a businessman at the end of the day!"

"Okay, okay, Mr. Businessman, you can explain to my people yourself." Jerry Sloan's teeth were about to be gritted, even if it was his boss in front of him.

"Man, what age are we, there's no need to be so irrational, right?"

"It is necessary, very necessary, because what you betrayed is... the honor of me, Karl, John, Lee, and even the entire knight!"

"Calm down, you should know that there is a lot of resistance outside, I hope you can understand me, and then come up with an optimal solution to solve this matter, instead of childishly making noise here." Larry Miller made a final decision , "If things are irreversible, how should the Jazz go, where is the most suitable for Lee, these are your responsibilities."

"Larry, listen... If I didn't need this job, I would beat you up today, I swear!" Jerry Sloan clenched his fists and said fiercely.

"It seems that we still have something in common, and what you choose is also an interest."

"No, me, Lee, Carl and John, we are different from you." Jerry Sloan's face was cold, "I don't want to argue with you anymore. Larry, you need to delay the decision now ... I don't care what you get with Stern, but this season has to be my call."

"Of course, you are the head coach!"

"Huh, that's really good." Jerry Sloan sneered, "Our dynasty has just begun, but we didn't expect it to collapse so quickly. Remember, the decline of the Jazz, you are the biggest one on the pillar of shame. 'Hero'."

"Although I appreciate Li very much, I don't think he is irreplaceable. Maybe the situation is not as bad as you think. I will fight for the best interests of the team with Stern!"

"Larry, at your age, I shouldn't praise you for your innocence?" Jerry Sloan's sneer never stopped, "Time will prove that Lee is irreplaceable, and it will also prove your stupidity, he can rule 20 years in the league... at least!"

"Then wait for the time to come? Are you going to clean up the things here?"

"Of course, to push back the timing of the decision, I need the Jazz's second championship, which is the last glory before the decline of the dynasty."
