the rest, only noise

Chapter 1107 Miami, who is obviously very strong but still wants to strengthen

The first thousand and 110 eight chapters are obviously very strong but still want to strengthen Miami
"...I plan to rebuild the lineup, only Benj, Dale and David are not for sale."

This is what Louis caused a sensation at the press conference.

Does keeping only Benj, Dell, and David mean that everyone else may be traded?
"Isn't Scottie Pippen not for sale?"

After Wilson captured Pippen, Louis also thought about including Pippen in his future plans, but he gave up.

Because Pippen has a history of competing for the boss, and, like Robinson, he is a legacy of the Showtime Lakers.

If Louis wants to build his own team, he has to use his players as much as possible.

Pippen is not very good in terms of temperament or future plasticity.

It just so happened that Pippen played one of the best performances of his career under Zhao Yuanzheng this year, and it was the time when the transaction value was the highest.

Hearing the reporter's question from Los Angeles, Louis kept smiling and repeated: "The only items not for sale are Benj, Dale and David."

The hardest hit was of course Pippen.

After playing for the Lakers for many years, he was going to be purged in the end.

"I have always been a loyal person. It is my wish to play for the Lakers until I retire. Now the team's goals are not consistent with my personal plan. I am sorry. After all, this is all business."

When a player is most sober, it is often when he is traded or is about to be traded.

There is no better time than that to make them understand that players are essentially commodities. When you are useful, the team will list you as not for sale. When the team does not need you, you are a commodity that can be sold at will.

Loyalty is a good thing, but one-way loyalty often does not lead to good results.

What Louis didn't expect was that Pippen was so free and easy on the surface, but secretly called Wilson and yelled at the decision-maker.

Pippen did not name names, but everyone knows who the Lakers' top decision-maker is.

"Why did he scold me?"

Louis wanted to feel Pippen's hatred for him.

"I can't say those words." Wilson decided to change the subject. "But I'm glad you're back, Coach."

Louie guessed maliciously: "I think you are more happy that the Knicks lost?"

"Nothing, I don't pay attention to New York at all."

"is it?"

"Coach, let's talk about the new season."

Wilson has said he only wants to play under Louie.

But when Louie rested, he had to play for someone else.

Now that Louie is back and is still his manager, no one is more excited than him.

"We really want to rebuild, but it won't last long, maybe a year, maybe two years, we will soon regain competitiveness." Louie gave Wilson a hint, "I want to build a team in Los Angeles that is completely different from the Knicks."

"It's an honor to be a part of this," Wilson said right away.

"I need you, Benj, this team can't do without you."

"I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!"

After Louis and Wilson made their case, they went to other things.

David Robinson is expected to take 10 months to recover, but Louie believes his true return timetable will be longer.

Dale Ellis is carefree. When he is sure that he is not for sale, he is already thinking about how to arrange the offseason.

However, there was an unexpected situation that Louis did not expect.

Vlade Divac, who is not for sale, told the Lakers through his agent that he should not be traded.

Players threaten teams not to trade themselves?
Divac's bargaining chip is his career.

He claimed that if he was traded, he would choose to retire, leaving the Lakers with nothing.

It was Jerry West who was tormented by his threats.

West had no choice but to appease Divac and let him understand that personnel changes are the norm in professional basketball, and trading may make his career better.

In fact, Louis really wants to keep Divac, because there are not many supporting centers like him.

The premise of trading Divac is that another supporting insider can be obtained. If not, Divac will stay with the Lakers.

In this year's finals, the Blazers seem to have returned to 1992.

That year was the peak period of Jordan and Barkley, and they fought seven bloody games with the Knicks.

Now, the Blazers are much older than they were then, but still have two reliable superstars.

However, after passing the Knicks, it seems that the Heat, who have dispelled the demons, do not intend to play seven games with the Trail Blazers, who have two dominant players.

Game6，拉尔夫·桑普森用42分12篮板4助攻4盖帽的全面表现，率领热火以122比118战胜开拓者。

4 is better than 2
The Miami Heat, which has been established for seven years, won the first championship in team history on the road.

Lewis Shafir was running through the players' corridor like a madman with a sudden onset of illness.

Sampson can finally get rid of the shadow of Bird and Thomas, and announce to the world that he is a champion center at the level of Russell, Chamberlain, Walton, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

There were 14 years between Sampson's first championship and his sixth.

There was a gap of 9 years between his first FMVP trophy and his second FMVP trophy.

In the past 11 years, he is recognized as the league's first center.

Even this year, Sampson, who was only selected to the third team, is still the strongest fifth position in the subconscious of many fans.

This is the same as people in the 21s always feel that James is still the strongest.

Their prime lasted so long that it was hard to accept that they weren't the ones at the top.

"My career has been great enough. I have nothing to be dissatisfied with. I can still win the championship at this age. I can only be grateful."

Sampson may be the most popular elder man in history. He has the character of honor and humiliation and humble conversation, just like Wilson.

Does anyone care about this year's overall runner-up?

Jordan lost again.

It was his fifth overall runner-up finish since 1988.

In the history of the NBA, only Travis, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Baylor, and West lost more finals than him.

However, among those people, only Baylor has no championship.

If strictly speaking, Baylor also played for the Lakers in 1972, he will get a gold ring.

So Jordan is the only player in history who has lost five finals without a ring.

Facing the Blazers' brutal wing group this year, the 32-year-old Jordan still averaged 35 points per game, while his partner Olajuwon also dominated the interior with an average of 30 points and 14 rebounds per game. However, the Heat are a better team.

Sampson just needs to empty the gas tank in key games to win the championship for them.

Interestingly, Jordan's sixth runner-up also made Lu Wuxia's patience with his name reach the limit.

He never wanted to be called Michael again.

"I don't want to be a loser like MJ!" Lu Wuxia cried in front of her mother.

"Don't cry baby, you can call it whatever you want, mother promises you." Lorraine couldn't resist his son's cry.

At that time, Louis just sat aside and laughed.

In the next few years, whenever someone called Wuxia by the name "Michael", he would get angry.

But what English name should I choose?

If he was an innocent child, his parents could certainly decide for him, but he is now the number one U11 player in Los Angeles, the top player in the All-American youth basketball team, and the future star that the tragedy teacher is optimistic about-Impeccable always introduces himself like this, he is as narcissistic as Lorraine-so he should have the right to decide what he is called.

Later, Wilson made a slip of the tongue and called "WuXia" "Wish". Although this is not an official name, it is at least a nickname that can replace "Michael".

Although Louis thought it was weird, until the kid figured out what English name he wanted, let him do whatever he wanted.

Once the season is over, it's time for the management to be busy again.

The Trail Blazers were the first team to make the news.

Pat Riley, who is currently serving as general manager, terminated the contract of "X-Men" Xavier McDaniel.

At the same time, the team's veteran Larry Nance announced his retirement.

Anthony Mason, who had one year left on his contract, was put on the shelf.

Then came the news of the Celtics, who announced that the team's famous ML Carr will be the head coach of the new season.

In the season that just passed, the Celtics have completely put down the self-esteem of the dynasty team, went to the lottery with the league's last record, and then took the third pick in the first round.

Although this result is not the best, it is satisfactory enough.

However, Louis was still surprised by their operation.

Let Carl be the coach, what about Bird?Are the Celtics planning to keep him as a front office mascot and useless consultant?
The first person to call Louis was Lewis Shafier, who had a strong sense of urgency despite the fact that the team was already strong.

"Hey, isn't this the best general manager of the year? Why do you have time to call me? Is it because the speech draft for the championship celebration won't be written and you want to borrow my draft for reference?"

Louis mocked Shafier innocently.

Shafier said seriously, "Coach Lu, let's talk about a business."

"No, Lewis, you still want to strengthen, can't you give other teams a way to survive?"

Shafier was very calm: "I must help Miami win a few more championships before the Lakers rise."

Louis could only ask, "Then what do you want?"

"Clyde Drexler for Scottie Pippen, do you think it's okay, Coach Road?"

Louis couldn't help laughing: "Do you think it's okay to exchange 300ml of Pepsi for 500ml of Coca-Cola?"
