Chapter 87 my pot

After the trip to Texas, the Lakers returned to the home court with exhausted bodies.

Since Brad Miller was blown away by Yao Ming, he lost his soul in the next two games. As an important rotation member, the inside pillar of the second team and the main high-post support point, Miller's state is sluggish It directly led to the continuous poor performance of the Lakers' bench lineup.

During training, Miller was still sleepwalking, missing people continuously, and the offensive end was dazed by Big Ben.

The Zen master looked at Brad Miller, who was full of ugly faces on the training ground, expressionlessly, without saying a word.

In the Lakers' game against the Bulls at home, Brad Miller didn't get a chance to play against his former owner. Chris Anderson rarely played in the regular rotation time and performed well, sending out 3 wonderful blocks.

The Bulls' lineup is Jaylen Rose, Jay Williams and Jamal Crawford's "Chicago 3J" with Curry and Chandler inside, and there is nerve knife Trenton Hasse on the bench Bill Cartwright, and Donyell Marshall, a high-ranking turret, although such a lineup is full of talents, it is not very competitive under Bill Cartwright's fatuous army.

The Lakers eliminated the suspense of the game in just two and a half quarters. Jaylen Rose was completely frozen by former trade leader Ron Artest. He only made 16 of 2 shots and scored 5 points.The performance of the second-best pick, Jay Williams, is quite satisfactory, with 10 points and 3 assists on the offensive end, and a 30.8% shooting rate is not considered qualified, but the 6 steals on the defensive end successfully raised his average score.

The best player for the Lakers is undoubtedly Kobe. He will never hold back when facing Jaylen Rose. The Flying Man scored 30 points in just 42 minutes, whether it is Jaylen Rose or Jamal Crow. Ford couldn't stop Kobe from putting the ball in the basket by various means.

The Lakers beat the Bulls 108 to 76 at home.

It is worth mentioning that the big screen at the Lakers' home court broadcast a promotional video about safe driving of motorcycles during the timeout, which made many fans puzzled.

In this regard, Lakers vice president Jim Buss explained: "I know many of you like motorcycles, which is cool, but an unfortunate reality is that in the world of motor vehicles, even the world's most Good drivers, accidents can happen at any time, we have a moment of silence for poor Ayrton Senna. Motorcycles are very prone to accidents, even the best motorcycles in the world can't provide you when accidents happen Any protection, I hope every friend who comes to Staples Park can stay safe, if you like motorcycles, you should learn to drive safely."

Poor Jay Williams, there's only so much I can do for you, the rest is up to your luck.

Brad Miller was called to the president's office.

"Are you familiar with this scene? When you make a mistake in school, you will be called to the office to talk. Don't be nervous, drink a glass of water first." Jim put a glass of water in front of Miller.

Miller didn't move, obviously very upset.

"I know it's hard to be DNP, but please tell me, what happened to make you feel like a different person these days? Did you get good grades by Yao? As far as I know, you are not a weak guy , Not many people can face Shaq's fist calmly." Jim stopped his teasing tone and became serious.

"Is it a setback to be beaten by Yao? Hehe. Boss, I even failed in the draft. Over the years, I don't know how many people have beaten me. I have never been afraid of them. I will work hard to let them know I'm not easy to mess with." Miller sneered.

"I don't understand. Since you don't take this seriously, what's going on recently? I asked Thomas, and he said that your physical condition is fine." Jim was a little puzzled.

"I said that I will go all out on the field and will never let it go, but I have watched what you said on the bench, including the interviews on the show. Now many people think that it is because of my letting go. I don’t think my efforts have been respected for letting Yao play such statistics.” Miller vented his grievances.

Jim suddenly realized.It turns out that the problem lies here. My joking words have caused the players to be questioned. It seems that retreating behind the scenes is the right choice. If you talk too much, you will lose it.

"Well, Brad, I don't mean any offense. If this is the reason for your poor performance, I will formally apologize to you in front of the whole team tomorrow and issue an announcement to fans across the country." Jim said sincerely.

Brad Miller was silent.

"We will solve this problem. I won't make such poor jokes anymore. Yao has strength. He will let everyone know this soon. By then, all doubts about you will disappear, but If you are still in the same state as before, and Phil won't let you play, then I can't help you." Jim stood up and patted Miller on the shoulder.

"Okay, boss. I said I would let them know that I'm not easy to mess with." Miller lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"By the way, Brad, I suggest you watch Vlade Divac's game tape. I found that your passing awareness is very good, but the technique and timing need to be practiced. Also, if you can extend the range If you go beyond the three-point line, you will be able to play more freely. I think with your golf quotient, it is too wasteful to just be a blue-collar who fights with people under the basket." Jim added that it is impossible to make Miller the most The time period of the ball is wasted.

"Thank you, boss. That's what Coach Jackson said, and Kevin helped me a lot."

During the next day's meeting, Jim made good on his promise, apologizing to Miller in front of the team for the distress his joke had caused.

And Miller returned to the rotation in the Lakers' home game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He contributed 25 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks in 2 minutes of playing time. Garnett or Ben Wallace staggered with the main players, and they all played well, regaining the feeling of panacea in the Pacers period.

Especially in the middle of the second quarter of the game, Garnett played Tony Kukoc with a back single on the wing. With the ball in his right hand, he bypassed Kukoc's side and passed it back to Miller who was running down. Cut, and Miller made an identical pass after receiving the ball, bypassing Gadzuric and giving Garnett an empty cut, completing a dunk.This magical inside cooperation became the first of the top ten shots of the day.

The Lakers defeated the Bucks 111 to 99, achieved two consecutive victories, and secured their top spot in the Western Conference.
