The System of Basketball Becomes a God

Chapter 157 The Dispute of the Bass Family

Jim Buss looked at his sister unhappily, frowned and said: "Now I am in charge of all the affairs of the Lakers, you don't need to worry about these, and please don't show up in my office again."

Only after the death of Old Buss, the power of the Lakers has been in charge of his son Jim Buss, but the team has plummeted and lost its previous prosperity, especially the league rejected the deal for Paul to come to the Lakers, which made the Lakers closer. Years have been on a bad road.

It is difficult for the fans to wait for the Lakers to slowly get up after the ordinary decline. They imagine that they can rob superstars and help the Lakers quickly complete the formation just like before!
And it was once rumored that the Bass family wanted to sell the Lakers!
In 2013, when the Lakers selected D'Antoni instead of "Zen Master" Jackson, the conflict between the elder Bus's two children, Jim Buss and Jenny Buss, has become public, and the media even reported that the two have been very close. No words were spoken for a long time.If this kind of internal fighting continues, the result is likely to be a change of ownership of the Lakers!The Buss family will sell 66% of its Lakers shares.

"Orange County Daily" long-time Lakers team reporter Kevin Ding wrote a special article saying that the fierce conflict among the top management of the Lakers made "the future ownership of the Lakers uncertain", and the team's poor performance this season, to a certain extent In fact, it was also caused by the internal strife in the Bass family.

The performance of the Lakers this season is "couldn't be worse" in the words of the fans, but in fact the Purple Army is likely to become more chaotic and uncertain than it is now, and that is the issue of team ownership.Of course, as long as Jerry Buss is still there, there is no problem, but the old Buss cannot live forever. He will be 79 years old this Sunday, and he has not appeared in the Lakers game in the past 1 seasons due to injuries. on site.

In the future plan of the old Buss, the Lakers handed over his six children to manage. The main people in charge are Jenny and Jim. Jenny will be in charge of business matters, and Jim will be in charge of basketball affairs.But obviously there was a problem with the cooperation between the two, and they actually stopped talking to each other.Since Coach Mike Brown was fired and the Lakers finally hired D'Antoni instead of using Jenny Buss' boyfriend "Zen Master" Jackson, the conflict between the two became very acute.

Fans certainly hope that after Buss Sr. is gone, the Bass children can get along in harmony, especially that Jenny and Jim can work together to run the Lakers. The two of them have done this in the past, but now it seems impossible.This is why there are many wealthy businessmen flocking to buy shares in the Lakers, and some investment groups have believed that the infighting of the Bass family will eventually lead to the sale of their 66% shares in the Lakers.

But in the end they publicly refuted the rumors. Even so, the relationship between the two became worse and worse, and even every time they met, they became inseparable!
Today, Jenny Buss was very angry with Jim Buss' summer signings. Although she did not fully manage the team's affairs, Jim Buss also said that if the team can't make the playoffs this year, then Jenny Buss Will be in charge of the team.

So Jenny Buss is here today to put pressure on Jim Buss!
"Huh? There is no sign of recovery at all. You should give the team's full strength as soon as possible. I can help the team get more stars. They can help the team enter the playoffs, which can keep the box office small. Fall! How many times has it fallen in the new season without Kobe? The box office supported by Kobe last year is about to collapse this season."

Jenny Buss' resonant voice pierced through the walls of the office.

Jim Buss sat at his desk and didn't continue to answer Jenny Buss' unreasonable troubles. He was in control of the team. As long as he said no, all Jenny's remarks were meaningless.

This is great, Jenny Buss is even more excited: "Look at you, you look like a clown, your position is precarious, but now you pretend to be indifferent, as if nothing happened!"

Jim Buss couldn't bear his sister's ruthless accountability, and said loudly: "As long as the team is under my control, then you have no right to interfere with the team's operation, I have my own discretion!"

"Hahaha, you? Don't put mustard on the bread, it's really exciting." Jenny Buss pushed the door out, and didn't continue to entangle with Jim Buss, because her goal was achieved, which was to give her "good brother" "Exerting pressure, and other things, she can't intervene.

When Jenny Buss slammed the door out, Jim Buss threw the documents in his hand on the desk.

There is a white paper on the Lakers' future plans above, but he has no desire to read it at all.

If Old Bath was still alive, seeing his two children tearing up their faces like this, he would probably die of anger several times.

The two siblings had not spoken much since they were young. Their relationship was not very good to begin with, and now they have differences over team issues.

Jim Buss walked out of his office, he couldn't sit still at all, he suddenly remembered that the team had a game today, so he drove directly to Staples, wanting to watch the team's game.

So far, he hasn't taken a good look at the team's games, because he is too busy to take care of that much.

The game entered the halftime break. Li Qian scored 11 points in the second quarter, continued his excellent performance in the first quarter, and scored 21 points in two quarters!
Do you know how incredible it is for a rookie to score 21 points in two quarters?

And who can get [-] or [-] points just after entering the league?
LeBron James, this is the closest and most direct example to Li Qian!
The Lakers fans were obviously overwhelmed by Li Qian's performance. It's so exciting for a yellow-skinned Asian player with a capitalized suit to play such an explosive game, and he's still a rookie! !
Soon, Jim Buss came to the arena. He knew it was already a midfielder, so he thought of going to the locker room to see the players and give them some encouragement.

He pushed away the people in the locker room and looked at all the players with a smile: "Hello, everyone, I'm really sorry to meet you in this very informal way."

Of course everyone will not blame him, because he is the head of the Lakers, the big boss.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. I've been so busy recently that I just took the time to talk to you."

Everyone also pulled Jim Buss to joke together, and the owner and players blended into a very appropriate atmosphere.

Li Qian was a little tired sitting beside him, and began to doze off.
