Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 101 Unrecognizable Old Rivals
Stern obviously premeditated this fine, even Grant Hill's ankle surgery doctor was the Lakers team doctor, which was used as evidence.

In this regard, Jim can’t laugh or cry. He knows that the 38-year-old Hill who has been reimbursed for several consecutive seasons in the original trajectory and is at the end of his career still has good strength. As long as he recovers, he will be a rare offensive and defensive all-rounder , But now the Lakers simply have no room to accommodate Hill's big contract.

"Mr. Bass did not contact me in private. As for the interview, I think it is just a compliment. Kobe and I are good friends. We often practice together, but I am now a player of the Magic. I want to lead the Magic. I have achieved good results, and I hope everyone can support me.” McGrady felt very puzzled by Jim’s fine, the charge was unfounded, and if he was fined just for this, what would happen if no one dared to praise himself in front of the media in the future.

Compared with McGrady's bad taste, Hill, who was lying on the hospital bed, was rarely angry with the league's approach.

After undergoing a rigorous laboratory examination by Thomas Carter, Hill was told that the previous ankle repair surgery was not perfect, and if he continued to play, there was a possibility of recurrence at any time. Once the recurrence occurred, the operation would be very difficult and there would be bacteria risk of infection.Thomas Carter suggested that Hill stop the game immediately and perform surgery in time before there is any problem with the ankle, and it will take eight to ten months for the ankle to fully recover, so as to return to the court in a complete state.

Hill is a good man, and he is very grateful to the Lakers for their help. The league actually used this as a reason to fine Jim, which in Hill's view is simply ridiculous.

He wrote a long thank you letter and contacted local Orlando media outlets to ask them to run it.

"It seems that I am not as alienated and unpopular as Stephen Jackson said. There are still people who support me and let me realize this. I am very happy. This fine is worth it!" Jim said in Orlando The Sentinel was on the table and said to Kupchak with satisfaction, without the slightest sense of having just been fined a car.

"The Cavaliers are very interested in Carlos Boozer. They hope to use Jumaine Jones and Smash Parker as the main body of the transaction, and they have made an offer to us." Kupchak said with a serious face Reporting the latest developments.

"In addition, we'd better not make any comments in front of the media recently. Obviously, the league has already targeted us." Kupchak thought for a while, and added.

"Smush Parker? Go to hell, we don't need a rotten artifact like Smush Parker, but we are very interested in their first-round pick next year." Jim dismissed the Cavaliers' offer.

"The Jazz and the Suns have also shown a willingness to trade Boozer. Do we want to see what we can get? I think although he has a certain offensive ability, his defense has not improved. With Kevin and Carlos on the team It is difficult to have a future in China.

"Let's procrastinate. I just sold Stephen Jackson and caused me such a big mess. Now is not a good time to make a deal. Let's wait until before the All-Star Game to make a decision." Jim thought about it and gave up on the deal. It is not a good thing for the stability of the team to sell players continuously in a short period of time.

The Lakers meet Waterloo in Minnesota.

加内特在熟悉的球场面对球迷夹杂着嘘声和掌声的迎接，表现大失水准，16投仅有5中得到11分14篮板，加上9投1中的阿泰斯特与8罚0中的大本，湖人整体命中率惨不忍睹，毫无悬念地以80比112吞下惨败。

But the game that followed was across half of the United States, going away to challenge the New Jersey Nets, and it was back to back.

With the rise of Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson, the Nets sent Bird's successor, No. 97 pick Keith Van Horn and Todd McClochy to the 76ers in exchange for Deacon Be Mutombo to support the team's weak inside.

Mutombo is a pillar of the 76ers, relying on his penalty zone deterrence and strong offensive rebounding ability, in Larry Brown's penalty zone defense system and offensive system of rushing rebounds to make up for the number of shots with a second offense However, in the Nets coach Byron Scott's outside pressure and quick offensive and defensive conversion system, the old Uncle Mu's slow movement ability and lack of finishing ability are fully exposed.

After only playing 16 games, Uncle Mu was refrigerated, and then he announced that he had undergone wrist surgery and would be absent for about 5 months, basically considered a season reimbursement.

Without Uncle Mu, the Nets' inside line is completely undefended. Except for Kenyon Martin, there are only famous gay guys Jason Collins and Baima Bass Calabrian, who can't compete with the Lakers' inside line. Garnett grabbed 21 Rebounds, Ben Wallace also had 18, 11 of which were offensive rebounds.

The Lakers led 67 to 41 in rebounds, but only won by 5 points in the end. The reason was that the shooting percentage was so poor that the basket seemed to be covered. And this shot reached 1 times.Kobe Bryant made only 11 of 28 shots, and his shooting percentage was less than 6%.

After a day off, the Lakers challenged the Philadelphia 76ers again.

As the other side of the Mutombo deal, the second-timer McCloch, the newcomer Van Horn and Derek Coleman formed the 76ers' front line, and Iverson and Snow played the backcourt.

Without Mutombo, Tyrone Hill and Matt Harpering, the hardness of the 76ers' frontcourt has dropped several steps. Coleman and Van Horn are typical of strong offense and weak defense. Sen is restricted by his height, and his defensive effect can only be said to be average.

It only took two seasons to go from a copper wall to an air leak on all sides. I have to say that Fei Guan's operation is suffocating.

No matter how Larry Brown roared on the sidelines or even smashed the tactical board, the 76ers' defense was always loose and unable to raise their spirits.Iverson, who relied on the explosion of the small universe, kept scoring points and maintained the balance of the game.

In the first half, Iverson scored 30 points alone.

Even if Iverson is full of iron, he can only hit so many nails. Coleman is dying and has no way to face Garnett's defense, and Van Horn can't do much under Artest's marking.Iverson's efficiency began to decline, and Kobe stepped up to take over the game.

In the second half, Bryant scored 27 points, while Iverson scored only 17 points.

湖人117比109击败76人，科比41分6篮板3助攻对飚艾弗森47分3篮板8助攻的表现成为了当日报纸的头条。
