You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 613 Not a Real Laker
The place where Bass Jr. made an appointment to meet Wei Xia was the golf course he bought a while ago.

In recent years, because of the deteriorating health of old Bath, he has no energy to run the family business, so his succession plan can only be accelerated.

Even though his daughter Jenny looks far more reliable than his youngest son Jim, subconsciously patriarchal Bass still regards Jim as the only successor candidate.

He has only one request for Jim: No matter how your business is doing, no matter what you make the team look like.Never, never, ever think about selling the Lakers.

The old Bass knows the value of the Lakers, even if the record falls to the bottom, he can become the laughing stock of the Los Angeles people like the Knicks.

You can still make money if you can't win. The advantage of a favorable location and harmonious people is so unreasonable.

Since the scouting department of Bass Jr. recommended Weixia in 2005, they have made gains almost every year. They have selected team-building cores such as Weixia and Gasol Jr., as well as main players such as Lowry and Ferrandez who cannot be underestimated.

The draft department made a lot of achievements, which indirectly allowed the Lakers to complete the reconstruction.

The old Bass took this as an excuse to delegate power to the young Bass again.

Little Buss does not have the skills of old Buss, and cannot handle the complex internal conflicts of the Lakers.

At the player level, the Gasol brothers, as the core insiders, huddled together. Ferrandez was seriously injured by former Lakers player Trevor Ariza during the game.

Ferrandez and Lowry left the team at the same time.

One is homesick, and the other is that the big contract is not satisfied.

The reason for the Lakers to let Lowry go is the same as the reason why Weisha was let go: From the existing games and data, Kyle Lowry will be a good player, but he will never be an All-Star.

Well, even if he can't become an All-Star, he will still be a good main force.

The Lakers didn't even match 4 million in 2000 years.

Lowry went to the Rockets, Ferrandez returned to Spain, Bynum made trouble, the Gasol brothers reported to the group, Kobe couldn't use his prestige to calm the locker room.

Bass Jr. was thinking innocently and self-righteously: "When Pau Gasol gets old, won't Bynum be able to take over? What's the rush?"

Not everyone is as tolerant as Ieyasu Tokugawa.

Not everyone has the capital to endure.

How can a madman like Bynum, who is young but infinitely talented, and whom no one looks down upon, endure years of being on the bench?Besides, Gasol is still two years younger than him, so no matter how you say it, the other party should be the substitute for him.

This is a point of contradiction that the Lakers cannot resolve.

Bynum has unlimited possibilities, he is still young, and the chemistry, tacit understanding and adaptability of the Gasol brothers are incomparable to Bynum.

Phil Jackson's choice says it all.

Since Marc Gasol joined, as long as he is not absent, Bynum has not played a main game.

Now, Bynum has become the Lakers' most unpredictable ticking time bomb.

He will explode at any time, no one knows how powerful it will be, it is best to move the bomb to a safe place before it is detonated.

Little Bass reluctantly put his favorite, Black Moonlight, on the shelf, "Yes: All-star shooting starts, come with sincerity!"

Bass thinks too much about Bynum, and he hopes to exchange Bynum for a superstar, so when someone proposes to trade with a quasi-All-star player, he doesn't even listen, and just tells the other party to get out, don't waste his time.

This is the value of Bynum in his heart: non-superstars do not change.

This is also until today, the trade deadline of the 2010-11 season is approaching, and Bynum's Lakers jersey is still wearing well.

After all, no team will suddenly lose their IQ and exchange their superstar for a potential insider who may not be able to make it to the All-Star.

Wei Xia arrived at the golf course designated by Bass Jr., and the opponent was about to hit a good ball.

Unfortunately, his swing is comparable to Charles Barkley.

The shot he hit was far from his goal.

"Excellent, Mr. Bass, if the air resistance is not too great, it must be able to hit the hole!"

Wei Xia looked at a young and gorgeous beauty next to little Bass, who gave him false praise in a tone of disregard for the facts as if poking her own eyes.

Little Buss was very helpful: "I knew you understood me, Mellie."

"Did I disturb your mood, Mr. Bass?" Wei Xia asked.

Seeing Wei Xia, little Bass was as kind as seeing a relative, "Where is it, Wish! I am so happy to see you living so well in Philadelphia!"

As we all know, Wei Xia was once the most important player of Bass Jr.

After Wei Xia's ACL was torn, he was also the first to bear the brunt of the Paul Wei faction, but his sister Jenny proposed not to give Wei Xia a maximum salary.

The old Buss is the one who makes the decision, Jenny is the one who fuels the flames, and Weixia became the top five players in the league in the 76ers, which undoubtedly proves how stupid the Lakers' decision in the summer of 2010 was.

"I'm also very happy to see you again." Wei Xia replied.

Buzz Jr. asked, "One stroke?"

"I miss the sport so much."

Philadelphia is not without golf courses, but few people would invite Wesha to play golf.In reality, Cousins ​​doesn’t seem to have any special interests. Hayward likes to play computer games. Lu Wei wanders between women and recording studios. The old teammates who came over from the Lakers, like Hollins and Weaver, have more contact with Wei Xia.

Therefore, Wei Xia has not played golf for a long time.

With one shot, he was even more outrageous than Bass Jr.

For Bass's goal, what else could Shirley say, "As long as there is no air resistance, you can definitely score." Wei Xia's goal, even if there is no air resistance, cannot be scored.

Because it's completely screwed up.

"No, Wish, your golf skills are getting worse and worse!" Bass said with a smile, "Is it because the 76ers are under so much pressure that they don't have time to play golf?"

Wei Xia smiled bitterly: "Maybe."

Mellie misjudges the situation as she flirts with little Buss like no one else.

"Go get us something to drink, Mellie." Little Bass greeted this idiot woman with only a good skin and left.

They played golf for a while, and then began to inadvertently approach sensitive topics.

"Thanks to you, my father can safely hand over the team to me."

Little Buss suddenly mentioned this.

"Thanks to me?" Wei Xia couldn't understand.

"You know, I was the only one who asked for a maximum salary to keep you, but you also know that a torn ACL is the natural enemy of superstars. No one could have predicted that you would survive and play so well." Little Buss said happily, "My father recognized me, and my sister naturally has no chance."

Wei Xia couldn't help asking: "Why doesn't anyone think I can survive?"

He feels that he is not a person who relies on physical fitness to play.

He can play just as well without explosiveness, even though it will allow him to reach his highest level.

"Even if my father knows that you have achieved what you are today, he won't necessarily keep you."

"why?"

Wei Xia and Old Buss have only met a few times, all at the Lakers' annual New Year's Eve party.

With those few faces, the old Buss gave him a good impression.

"Wish, you are very good. I think you can support the future of the Lakers after Kobe gets old, but my father thinks." Buss Jr. met Wei Xia's eyes, "You are very good, but not as good as he imagined."

Wei Xia already knew why the Lakers gave up on him, and what Bass said made him understand the whole story better.

Regardless of the super giants in the history of the Lakers before the old Bass took over.

After the old Bath took over, four generations of Angel City owner-Skyhook Kareem, No.70 in the 1s, was always one of the most dominant centers in the league before 1985; I can't afford the facade of Angel City until LOGO completed the most far-reaching handwriting in the offseason of NBA history. Kobe was selected with the [-]th overall pick in the first round, and the Sharks were hooked with a maximum salary of [-] million yuan. So far, the third and fourth generation owners of Angel City in the Jerry Buss era have been in place.

In the peak period of these four people, no one is not the supreme in the world, no one is not the face of the alliance, and no one is not in the spotlight wherever they go.

For old Bath, Wei Xia is not a player of this level.

Only players of this level are eligible to become the master of Angel City.

This is the history of the Lakers: the greatest number one in history (Magician); the second and third shooting guards in history (Kobe and LOGO man);

It's about the city.American cities are all mixed blood, which kind of mixed blood means the spirit of the city.

New Yorkers still have the navigator style of the Netherlands, and Boston has the stubborn and tough New England style.

The word Los Angeles itself is Spanish-this place was originally a Spanish colony.

What is Spain like?Gorgeous, gorgeous, suave, what I like is a beauty and novelty, and so is the Lakers.

In the 60s, there was Baylor and West, the twin stars who scored 35 points each when they were happy; in the 80s, there was a "show moment" with mercury pouring down, and then there were Sharks and Kobe.

The city of Los Angeles will not believe in Jerry Sloan's overall strategy in Salt Lake City, nor will it disdain the semi-military management of the Cardinal in the Celtics and Popovich in the Spurs.

What the Lakers pursue is often the biggest player, the most gorgeous style, the most successful coach, and the strongest viewing.

And Wei Xia, his characteristic, is the opposite of all these.

Low-key, simple, dislikes the spotlight, and has the title of media killer. The politically incorrect storm that shocked the world in 2008 almost ruined his future. He is like a mixture of young people of the Beat Generation and Celtics who lived in the 70s.

To the Bass family, he was not a real Laker from beginning to end, from beginning to end.
