Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 88 A new chapter, Beat-LA!

(PS: It will be on shelves on March 3. At that time, Xiaowu will prepare the best two-game Lakers for everyone. The pits that have been digging are about the 1 amazing skills and the duel between the amazing skills. The previous grievances between the Lakers and the Rockets will also fill in the holes one by one. Of course, the most exciting thing is Dayao’s comeback, um! The author himself is obsessed, and his saliva is flowing all over the place.)
It was really hard to refuse the hand that Delong put down his whole body and airs.

Although the two teams had a lot of history in the past, the players on both sides put aside their prejudices and made peace with each other.

Mayo finally dispelled all the hostility, he extended his hand to Delong, and the two shook hands, feeling sorry for each other...

This grip symbolizes the reconciliation between Houston and Utah, who have deep grievances...

With this grip, all the people on the scene who were still struggling to let go finally let go of their prejudices...

This grip finally got the most enthusiastic applause from the audience...

This grip symbolizes that the glory days of Salt Lake City will become eternity...

"The next time we meet, I'll give it my all..." Deron said.

"Well, but don't carry so many fouls early on, it's not fun to fight like this," Mayo said.

...

The players shook hands one by one, and the two old men who had a good personal relationship were not idle...

"Hi! Well done... Rick!" Sloan smiled and held out his hand.

An old acquaintance, the old man responded enthusiastically.

"How, who won this game! Louder, I can't hear!" Adelman laughed.

The bastard!Sloan snorted coldly like an old urchin, "Huh, I just lost to you... I saw that you lost to me too many times before, so I'm sorry to widen the gap... What is the record between us! Speak up! My ears are not good!"

This old bastard, for the sake of this, he still wants to save face and suffer.Father Adelman thought.

"Okay! I'm going to exert my strength! Just wait, I guarantee that I will fight head-on right away! Hehe!" The old man was not to be outdone.

"It's just you? What kind of Lin and what are you doing? Haha..." Sloan also confronted each other, and pointed his hand to the old man's side again, Ron with an innocent face: "I didn't lose to you today, do you think I don't know your single-minded virtue... you will change formations and run away? I just lost to him..."

ah?Getting shot while lying down?Ron thought helplessly.

"...Uh...Okay! Wait for Yao Ming to come back next time, and see how I abuse you!" Adelman was so angry that his neck became thick, and he suddenly smiled again: "By the way, Jerry! Come to my house when you have time, I haven't talked to you for a long time... It's just that according to our work, we have to wait until the end of the season!"

Sloan was suddenly at a loss for words, his face suddenly dimmed, and he aged ten years in an instant...

The surprise of the old man Adelman showed that he didn't know it at all, but Ron was not happy for his advance knowledge...

"You don't have to wait for the end of the season..." Sloan raised his head, with a dry smile on his lips, but his eyes were filled with emptiness: "I... I may have to enjoy my retirement early!"

"Retirement?" The old man was startled but was speechless for a while...

The old handsome nodded, but soon he raised his eyes energetically.

"Come on! You will be a good team!"

Anyone will be too old to walk sometimes, and Sloan is also, but Sloan is old at heart.

He is like a legend who has always been cast aside by fate. When Malone and Stockton were in their prime, they met the Chicago Bulls and the god of basketball who were most fearless of pick-and-rolls.

In the era when the pick-and-roll shined, any team with O'Neal was second-class disabled in defending the pick-and-roll.If Karl Malone and Stockton were not too old after 1999, it would be impossible for the Lakers to win three consecutive championships.

yes!Born at the wrong time... Fate tricks people!

But who can say that failing to win the championship is a failure?At least I have another 20+ years in the place I love...

Putting everything down, Sloan nodded politely, and left on his own. Seeing his back leaving optimistically, Mr. Adelman's eyes were also blurred...

"He...is a good man..." Adelman said with some sobs.

"Well! I know..." Ron nodded solemnly.

...

"Let me tell you..." Deron said.

"Huh?" Mayo, who originally planned to go through the motions and withdraw, stopped his pace before entering the locker room, a moment of doubt.

It's hard to imagine that chubby, who doesn't even bother to say a few words to his relatives, would take the initiative to talk to someone.

Of course, when I really greet this guy, that's all. Occasionally, I put on airs and speak a little arrogantly.

"You seem to end up against the Los Angeles Lakers?" Deron asked.

Mayo: "Uh, it seems to be..."

In fact, two consecutive home and away games to challenge the defending champion respectively, which seems unbelievable to others.

"..." He was silent for a while, and then said with some personal emotion: "Then come on! Rocket, I hope you can beat-la!"

The word sent all the Houstonians heading to the locker room suddenly filled with untold excitement.

BEAT-LA!

That's right!next game!Mayo looked at Ron in a daze, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

Is BEAT-LA a curse word, or is it a special culture in the NBA?
In the NBA’s 60-year history, many old enemies have been formed, such as the Rockets and the Jazz, which are just insignificant. The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers have the deepest origin, or the deepest hatred. The management has been criticizing verbally and writing since the end of the 12s, and it is the greatest pleasure to defeat the opponent...

In 1980, the NBA Philadelphia 76ers played against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. The last game was coming to an end. At the Celtics home court, the 76ers led the Celtics by more than 20 points. If they win the game, they can directly enter finals.

On the other side, the Lakers in the west (LosAngelesLakers referred to as "LA") have won and entered the finals and are waiting for their opponents to emerge.

The Celtics fans saw that there was no hope of winning and could not have a final duel with their old opponents. They even shouted "BEAT-LA!!" and handed over the hope of defeating their old enemy to their opponent Philadelphia.

After this game, this slogan originally given to the Philadelphia 76ers gradually became a slogan for Boston Celtics fans to cheer for their team, and it spread more and more widely, so that if many NBA teams after the 90s entered the finals and their opponent was the Lakers, local fans would shout this slogan.

And "BEAT-LA" is the deepest curse that the Green Kai giant, who has a declining wealthy family in his bones, casts the deepest curse on the Los Angeles aristocrats who are living in luxury...

Being in the most prosperous entertainment capital in the United States and even in the world, there is no doubt that they are indeed an aristocratic team. The Lakers, led by Baylor, West, Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Johnson, O'Neal, Kobe and other darlings of the City of Angels, have persisted for 50 years, confronting and stinging each other with powerful enemies from generation to generation, and wrote the most spectacular purple and gold epic and dynasty in NBA history.
The reason why "Beat-LA" has become the most provocative slogan in the NBA for half a century is also because it means the hatred of "hillies" for nobles, and the resistance of common people to power.

In recent years, due to the Lakers' unsportsmanlike "unsportsmanlike" (Bill Russell) robbing of the former Grizzlies head Paul Gasol, it is this big deal that has hardly lost any immediate combat power.

Unfortunately, they already have Kobe who is close to the gods, Andrew Bynum (washing and blowing) who has stepped from a young high school student to a top insider step by step, Lamar Odom, who is becoming more and more ferocious, Derek Fisher, and the arrival of Gasol is even more powerful. In addition, Ariza in the previous seasons, Artest this season, like a tailwind in the regular season and playoffs. The powerful team returns with hatred.

Their players have such distinctive personalities, they not only despise the entire league, but also pour out the hatred that O'Neal was ignored by others during the years of his eastward tour, and take revenge on the entire league.

When you meet a god and kill a god, when you meet a Buddha and kill a Buddha, no one can stop you...

Their media, without a doubt, the Los Angeles media, which has been influenced by various news from Hollywood, is the best media. Every day, they have to play up a lot of shit, which is annoying.

Their boss, the Bass Consortium, even tried everything possible to attack opponents from the outside. Whether it was a Cleveland native who couldn't even find a scumbag in the free market in the past few seasons;

And the vision of these cities with the loudest Beat-LA slogan failed to be realized in the end. Most of the rich and powerful teams with relatively rich foundations fell under the purple and gold storm of the Lakers, and they even had no resistance at all.

There is only one "native" from Texas who is not afraid of the money and all the offensives of the Los Angeles nobles. They use the anger and unity of their common people to teach the Los Angeles nobles a good lesson, and if it is not a trick of fate, they may have stepped on the soles of this giants last season and detonated the entire league!

That's right, this is the big Texas cockroach that Barkley claims will never be killed, the Houston Rockets!

In the Western Conference semifinals of the 2008-09 season playoffs, without Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, and Mutombo's grassroots Rockets, they were able to start a bloody battle with the Lakers.

Although they lost 3:4 in the end, the slogan of Beat-LA resounded through the Toyota Center, and the immortal spirit of the Texas cockroach resounded throughout the league.

Only in this series, the ups and downs almost made the nobles who despised everything break into a cold sweat.

In the blink of an eye, another season has passed. The Los Angeles giants, which have won ten consecutive victories, are about to welcome their regular customers again. Before the start of the game, they have lost more than a dozen consecutive games. Under the leadership of the mysterious Eastern manager Ron, the Houston Rockets, who have won three consecutive victories, are reborn like a phoenix.

After burying the remnants of the old era, he retreated from the Devil’s home court, Salt Lake City, and won three consecutive victories. Houston, the Texas giant cockroach that was not shot to death again, has once again entered the sight of Los Angeles people. It is hard to imagine what the first matchup will be like in two days. It is just Deron’s kind words that wake everyone up in Space City. Everyone began to have good hopes and longings.

To be honest, as soon as the word was uttered from Deron's mouth and slipped into the ears of Ron who was far away, he already smelled the arrival of a new crisis.

"BEAT-LA" is like a bridge connecting the future, guiding Ron on a new journey.

It's like an adventure game, when one level ends, another level will appear, and this time Ron feels like he jumped through the level ahead of time and encountered the game's ultimate boss...

This has nothing to do with winning or losing. Although it is a normal regular season journey, Ron can't understand how heavy this lineup is.Encountering the defending champion now is tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg.

What's more, if they meet two games in a row, the hard-working three-game winning streak is likely to turn into a two-game losing streak...

But all of a sudden, the scenes that even the iron-blooded soldiers in Salt Lake City dare not imagine are written all over the faces of the players of this pan-civilian team...

It was a kind of longing, it was a kind of pride that expected the whole world to prove themselves, everyone was full of passion and longing, and there was a faint smile on the corner of everyone's mouth, as if to say: "Okay, we know, just watch! We will definitely kill them!"

"These guys are a group of people who grew up eating something!" Deron Williams thought to himself in surprise.

Before the press conference after the game, the old man and Mayo generously accepted interviews from media reporters from all over the world.

There is no doubt that the Houston Rockets, who have won three consecutive victories, are undoubtedly surrounded by a layer of magical light. Of course, when asked about the Los Angeles Lakers, who have won ten consecutive games in the next game and have bloodbathed the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks in the past few days, as the only remaining member of the Texas Iron Triangle, will the Houstonians have the confidence to snipe the Los Angeles people and prevent their opponents from retreating in the Texas Terrible Delta?

"So we're the only one left in the old Texas Triangle? They're just waiting to beat us to break the record?" Mayo asked in a slightly mocking tone.

"That's right, this is the first time since the disintegration of the OK dynasty... Obviously they didn't take you seriously. They have already arranged a celebration banquet at home to celebrate their great achievements this season..."

"Oh! SHIT!" Mayo paused and raised his head again, with a little anger in his eyes.

"You're going to snipe them, right? At least it'll save some face for the misnamed 'Texas Triangle' this season... eh?"

"What are you talking about!" Under Mayo's rebellious expression, that innocent heart was also beating loudly: "I will make them pay for their contempt for us! Celebration wine? Is that what they are planning to use for us?"

"What!" Everyone was shocked by the arrogant and domineering words, and the sound of cameras and camera shutters flooded in. Everyone was surprised and handed all the microphones to Mayo, and everyone was waiting for a big news to happen.

"You...you mean...to win the next two...the next two games against the defending champion??!!"

The bastard!Ron on the side couldn't hide his love for him, and even Olajuwon was sweating for his unrestrained speech.

Mayo stared at the camera in front of him with a serious expression. He was proud of his arrogance: "That's right! Tell them to prepare for death! Kobe Bryant, here we come!"
