In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 194 Old Bath's Admonition, Hard-working Mark Jackson

On the Lakers side, except for the magician, there are no other celebrities who stand up to catch the heat. They are all immersed in the weird atmosphere where the Lakers are one to two behind.

It's not terrible to fall behind one to two. What's terrible is that the relationship between Kobe and Glen Rice in the team has completely deteriorated.This guy is a stinger with a sinister personality. After the Heat had a quarrel with Jordan Harold Miner Jr., and after going to the Hornets, he had a quarrel with Boggs and Kenny Anderson, and now in the Lakers, Kobe is also a quarrel. The sophomores who are used to each other, the conflict between the two wonderful things is really not good for the Lakers.

O'Neal wanted to mediate, but there was no way. The players went to find the logo man, and Jerry West pushed everything to the new general manager Kupchak. The guy who used to be the logo man was really suffering , I have not officially taken office yet, and I have encountered such a big trouble.

Zen master is very annoying. Now he seriously suspects that the man with the logo deliberately made Glen Rice disgust him, because he had a dark history of fighting for power with the manager of the Panda in the Bulls. Now that he is in the Lakers, he will immediately give himself A lesson has been learned. Although the greatest guard in the history of the Lakers will leave the Lakers in a few games, Phil Jackson can't be happy.

Old Bath was very concerned about this matter, so he went to Jerry West's house specially, and the two Jerrys met again.

"Jerry, you have a way, right." Old Buss looked at the general manager who had served for many years, feeling a little emotional in his heart. Jerry West has been with the Lakers for many years and has created the Lakers into a super giant in the league. The mortal enemy Celtics is completely trampled on the soles of their feet, but also because of this, Old Buss understands what is the master of the game. Now when people mention the Lakers, everyone will think of Jerry West and completely ignore it. I am the driving force behind the development of the Lakers into a unique landscape in Los Angeles.

So when Jenny Buss teamed up with Phil Jackson to fight the logo man, the old Buss ate melons by the side and didn't get involved at all. From then on, Jerry West also understood what the boss meant, so he Tell the Lakers management before this season is over that he will leave the Lakers after this season.

The earth will turn the same if there is no one else, and the sun will rise from the east the next day if there is no one.However, Glen Rice's sluggish performance in the finals and Zhang Tian's amazing performance on the opposite side made O'Neal look so powerless in three games of 40+. At this critical moment, the entire Lakers management was in chaos, and Jerry Ba Si also understands that only Jerry West can break the game now.

So for the revival of the Lakers, he came. After all, Glenn was traded by himself. The opponent is a thorn, but how many good boys are NBA players?Jerry West certainly has a way.

"Doctor, I'm sorry, I can't solve the problem about Glenn and Kobe. To be honest, I didn't expect Zhang to improve so fast. In less than a season, he has become as famous as Shaq. Existence, I used to not believe that there is a genius in this world, but now I believe that Zhang is that genius, so even if Kobe and Glenn reconcile as before, they will find it difficult to stop Zhang, because they are not at the same level as Zhang The game of basketball is not as simple as one plus one is greater than two."

Jerry West's words made Bass feel very harsh. If this is the case, then I have to do it myself. Without you Zhang Butcher, I can't eat pork anymore, can I?

As for the other party's praise of Zhang Tian, ​​Bass felt that it was a bit exaggerated, and the other party even said that on purpose.

Taking advantage of the three-day break between the fourth game, Jerry Buss held a large party at his home and invited all the Lakers players.

For the boss's approach, the players understand a little bit, and the relationship between Kobe and Glen Rice still hasn't dissolved. Although the two of them don't have any deep hatred, it is not that simple to ease it.Because Glen Rice's defense is bad, it's a stubborn disease, he can't get rid of it at all, if he shoots well and defends well, as for such a wandering trade between teams, wouldn't he have been confessed as a baby long ago? .

"Kobe, Glenn, I don't care what conflicts there are between you two, I hope you can settle down before the fourth game, we are a team, this year is the best time for us to rise, if we miss next year, it may not be so good This is your chance, you are all professional players, you still need to have basic professional ethics.” The boss’s first few words were soft, but the last sentence is a bit meaningful.

Glenn Rice and Kobe didn't speak. They both knew in their hearts that if they carried it at this time and angered Bass, they would really have to go away.

After the party, the Lakers team reporter took photos of Kobe and Glen Rice practicing together. They were not in the arena, but on a basketball court in the streets of Los Angeles. The two were talking and laughing. It seems that there is no gap at all.

After the old Buss' warning, Kobe and Rice both compromised. They were both very eager for the championship. Old Buss was right, this year is their best chance, because next year O'Neal may not have such a status.

Zhang Tian and the Pacers are continuing to train in a rented arena. Mark Jackson and Rick Schmitz are still not on the roster, but if the Pacers win the championship, it’s not a big deal for them to get a ring. The problem is that if you want to retire your jersey or something, don’t even think about it, especially the Dutchman, who dedicated all his youth to the cornfield, is very likely to get the championship ring in the twilight of his career, but he can’t It is undoubtedly a very regrettable thing to retire the jersey.

Big butt Mark Jackson is more anxious. Currently, the Pacers don’t want to give him any big contract. He will leave after the end of the season. And he didn’t play many games in the finals and playoffs. How is his condition? , everyone is still unknown. In this case, the only way to get a big contract is to rely on agents to fool you, but it is still difficult to fool you into a good contract. Mark Jackson regretted it, but it was too late .Billups has completely secured the starting position, and Travis Best can also contribute his strength on the bench. The combined combat effectiveness of the two of them is definitely more than Mark Jackson.

So Mark Jackson's ending is very likely to be similar to his previous life, and he can only rely on the middle class to survive, but this can't be blamed on others, everything is his own fault.
