I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 40 Domineering Aunt Jenny

"Who said I'm leaving?" Zen Master looked at the phone, raised his head upon hearing this, and returned to his smiling expression.

"You..." Jim couldn't help being irritated, "Phil, everyone is an adult, can't you make it so embarrassing? Besides, that's what I said, if you insist If you don’t leave, then don’t blame me for sending someone to kick you out!”

"Wait a little longer." For some reason, in the face of their aggressiveness, the Zen master was very indifferent, and even stretched out his hand to signal them to calm down, don't worry.

What is he waiting for?Jenny is not in Los Angeles, old Buzz is hospitalized again, who else can save him at this moment?Jim murmured, thinking the old fellow wouldn't try to stall for time.Well, let's see how long you can hold off!
For the players at this time, Chu Xiao followed Kobe's gaze and looked at Zen master, and then followed Zen master's gaze to look outside the door. He couldn't help but look forward to it, as if someone would really come in.

However, the world is so strange, when everyone focused their attention on the corridor outside the door, they really heard the sound of "tattling" in the distance.

This is the sound of a person walking, it should be a woman, wearing high heels, walking from far to near, in a leisurely manner.

The Zen master was happy to hear this, and couldn't help showing joy on his face, but Jim was flustered for a while, and beads of sweat immediately oozed from his forehead.

"Jim, have you had enough trouble?" After a while, the people who came came first before they arrived, but their tone was calm, and there was an aura of self-control, which made Jim speechless. Kubchak His face was pale and he didn't dare to look up.

Under Chu Xiao's curious expectation, a middle-aged woman with blonde hair and blue eyes appeared at the door of the locker room. She may be almost 50 years old, but her appearance does not match her age, she has a dignified temperament, and her appearance still has charm , you can imagine how graceful she was when she was young.

This is Jenny Buss, the Lakers' vice president of business operations.

"You, didn't you go to Chicago? You should be back in three days, why so soon..." Although Jim guessed it was her, he was still surprised by her appearance.

The Zen master looked at her calmly, because he had known the whereabouts of his girlfriend before.

"I didn't expect to come back so soon. The negotiation was really smooth. The other party knew that Phil was our coach again, so they signed the broadcast contract without saying a word, because Chicago people have too much confidence in Phil. Yes." Jenny changed her tone after she finished speaking, "It's a good thing I came back in time, otherwise you would not only let us breach the contract, but also destroy the Lakers!"

"Jenny!" Jim couldn't help raising his voice when he heard the words, obviously he didn't want to take the blame, "He has a coaching problem, I'm just exercising accountability for the directors, how did you ruin the Lakers?"

Jenny didn't answer his brother, but came to Zen master and smiled at him, showing the cute smile of a girl to her boyfriend, and then turned to look at Jim, "Second brother, how long has it been since you visited your father?"

"Ah?" Jim was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to change the subject so quickly. Then he remembered that he had been in bars and nightclubs recently. It was true that he hadn't visited his father for a while. He felt ashamed and rubbed his hands subconsciously.

Jenny watched his every move, and continued, "I just came back from my father, his condition is very bad, the doctor said it's best not to stimulate him, unless there is something happy that can make the old man happy, only This will help the condition. And if you fire Phil at this time, first of all, Chicago’s broadcast contract will be declared invalid, and then three coaches will be replaced in one season. Do you want the Lakers to become the laughing stock of the entire league? What would father think if he found out? He might be pissed off by you directly!"

"Shut up!" Jim turned from guilt to anger, "Don't take the opportunity to label me indiscriminately. I just fired Phil, and then D'Antoni led the team to victory. How could I piss my father off? Besides Yes, D'Antoni and Nash teamed up, the Lakers with running and bombing tactics will reproduce the "show moment" created by the magician back then, plus Kobe is not old, Warcraft is at its peak, the team is bound to rise! It may even come again Three consecutive championships, who would dare to laugh at our three coaching changes?"

"Hehe..." Jenny shook her head and smiled wryly, [Jim, don't dream anymore, D'Antoni's system should have younger players, a more mobile lineup, and more shooters, and the interior should be just blue-collar coolies, but the Lakers gave No lineup like him.You see, Nash is nearly 39 years old. This should be an age for retirement. If you look at Kobe, Gasol, and Artest, which one is not in his 30s, can they still run?Even if he can run, Nash will miss more than 30 games due to injury, and who will execute the running and bombing tactics for him? "

"Even if this season doesn't work, there's next season!" Jim said unwillingly.

"Jim!" Jenny was also angry, "Even if we can wait, but father may not be able to wait anymore, the Lakers can't spend another summer for nothing."

Thinking of Old Bath's condition, Jim really felt that it would be unrealistic to be successful next season. He was silent for a while and said, "Then tell me, what should I do?"

"Stop the infighting first!" Jenny took a deep breath and continued after calming herself down, "I have promised my father that the Lakers will return to the top this season, and I will let him Duan Li saw the rise of the Lakers with his own eyes."

"I'm going to return to the top this season, how is it possible?" Jim couldn't help but spread his hands and laughed, "Just because Phil brought this group of old, weak, sick and disabled? Sorry, I'm too straightforward, but...the facts are true in this way."

"Yes, it is such a group of "old, weak, sick and disabled"." Jenny repeated in front of all the players, "I promised my father that if I can't return to the top this year and win the championship within two years, Phil and I will Resign together!"

"Really? You mean what you say!?" Jim said excitedly.

"When do I say something that doesn't count?" Jenny asked back, "However, I also have a condition."

"What conditions?" Jim couldn't wait to know.

Jenny glanced at him first, then pointed to him and Kubchak and said, "In the past two years, neither of you is allowed to interfere in any affairs of the team. I will let Phil serve as the general manager of the team and give He traded the rights of role players, built a championship puzzle that really fit the team, let us regain competitiveness in the West, and re-compete for the championship. If I can’t do this within two years, then I will take the initiative to abdicate because That proves that I have failed, and the team will be yours from now on."

This condition does sound very tempting, because with the current lineup configuration, it is almost unrealistic for the Lakers to win the championship within two years.Don't forget that Warcraft, the youngest player in the starting lineup, will become a free agent next summer. No one can predict whether he will stay or not. The lineup may disintegrate and people will be unstable.

Jim only exchanged glances with Kubchak before agreeing, "If you succeed, let's go!"
