Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 1 Preface Lakers Championship

"No matter how you operate, there is no way to deal with Luol Deng's rubbish contract this year, this 1800 million dollar space... Evil little Bass."

As a die-hard Lakers fan, Han Yun's watching experience in the past five years can be said to have fallen to the bottom. The Lakers helm Dr. Buss gradually retreated behind the scenes due to physical reasons until his death. The operation successfully brought the Lakers, who had won two championships in three years, out of the playoffs and into the lottery zone.

Coupled with the continuous injuries of Kobe, the team's banner figure, the team was in disarray, relying on mercenaries to survive, and the scene was once very ugly.I still remember the bald giant Thackeray's six criminals still standing firm on the field, Kaman lying on the empty bench, Yang Shaoxia fighting alone and fighting five, Marshall stood by with his hands on his hips at halftime...

Sighing, Han Yun turned on 2K and completed a deal in the dynasty mode. Watching the Zijin Legion he formed defeated various powerful enemies and finally won the O'Brien Cup, Han Yun had mixed emotions in his heart.

Could it be that the Lakers championship can only be achieved in the game...

Turn off the game, turn off the computer, turn off the lights, and move the bricks tomorrow, otherwise I won't even be able to afford the tickets and air tickets to watch the game next year.

Han Yun was woken up by the phone ringing, but he clearly realized that this was not his usual ringtone.

Picking up the phone, there was an unfamiliar voice speaking in English, but Han Yun understood every word of the other party.

"Jim! God, what are you doing? Didn't we decide to go to the locker room today before the game to cheer the team up? Dad, sister are here, everyone is waiting for you!"

"What %￥#...?" Han Yun was confused and hadn't figured out the situation yet.

"You still have 10 minutes, let's go to the arena first!"

After hanging up the phone, Han Yun sat up from the bed, looked around the strange room, and found a mirror...

"Holy Shit!"

Ten minutes later, Han Yun came to the home team's locker room at the Staples Center with his extra memory.While listening to Dr. Jerry Buss' speech, he digested the frightening fact that he became Jim Buss.

"We haven't tasted the champion champagne for 11 years, and today, after three hours, I hope to share the joy of victory with you here." Dr. Bass concluded his speech.

Looking at the huge O'Neal opposite, Kobe with a green face, and Holly, Fisher, Shaw, Rice and other "acquaintances" who have only seen on TV and computers, Han Yun before, Jim now Still can't believe it.

On June 2000, 6, in Game 19 of the NBA Finals, the Indiana Pacers challenged the Los Angeles Lakers in an away game, officially starting.

Kobe, with an explosive head, faced Reggie Miller's defense, broke through with his left hand, faced Rick Schmitz who was defending, and threw the ball into the sky——

"Boom!" A huge black figure wearing No. 34 jumped up from among the three Pacers players and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

Jim in the box saw this scene and silently mourned for several insiders of the Pacers.

However, the Pacers played very tenaciously, Jaylen Rose felt hot, and although Miller frequently hit the iron with three-pointers, he still continued to involve the Lakers' defense through running positions. After all, such a historical shooter cannot be casually emptied.

As for the Lakers, the old AC Green and Harper seemed a little helpless in the face of Dale Davis and Mark Jackson.On the offensive end, Kobe's touch was also cold. Fortunately, Rice and Hawley, who came off the bench, continued to provide peripheral firepower and provided support for O'Neal.

After halftime, the away Pacers led by three points 56-53.

"Jim, do you think we can win this game?" Dr. Buss asked suddenly.

Of course Jim knew who the final winner of the game was, but he had an intuition that the issue was not that simple, and Jerry West who entered the box later confirmed this point of view.

After West was seated, Jim thought for a while and said, "We just need to stick to the current style of play, focusing on Shaq's containment ability inside and Kobe's breakthrough, combined with the outside shots of Robert, Derek and others, the offense will be successful." The rate will be higher than that of the opponent, and the Pacers' current lead is entirely due to their good touch. Their physical strength has declined in the second half, and their three-pointers will not be as accurate as before. If Shaq's free throws can be better, we will not even fall behind now. "

The game in the second half confirmed what Jim said. Hawley and Fisher’s three-pointers provided support to O’Neal. Every time the Lakers made a breakthrough on the back line, the Pacers’ inside defense was lost because of O’Neal’s existence. Kobe, who had been fighting for the whole game, hit a three-point shot, and the Lakers completely reversed the situation.

At the end of the game, the Pacers adopted foul tactics. O'Neal made two free throws and made one of two free throws, pulling the free throw percentage to 12 of 3, but this was innocuous. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Pacers 116-111, winning 4-2 in total. Won the NBA championship in the 99-2000 season.

O'Neal scored 41 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks in this game, completely destroying the Pacers' inside line.

In the six games of the finals, O'Neal averaged 61.1% shooting, scored 38.0 points, 16.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.7 blocks.Undoubtedly won the Finals MVP.

Finally, the Lakers passed through the low tide period throughout the 90s since the magician sadly retired, and won the first championship in the new millennium.

"So Jim, let's get ready for the dynasty, and now let's taste the champagne of champions."

Dr. Bath left the box, but Jim's mind was already racing.

Dynasty, the word is so seductive.
