the great gatsby

Chapter 525 Chicken feathers all over the place!
Coach Scott was just signed by the Lakers this season. His three bad seasons in the Cavaliers left him without a job for one season. Except for the Lakers, a bad team that is willing to give him a chance, other teams with ambitions are will not find him.

He also thought that Kobe could only maintain it in the remaining few seasons until Kobe retired and the Lakers rebuilt. He didn't expect the Lakers to get Gatsby. This is the No.1 in the league now!
Scott was a little flustered.

Yes, he had to panic.

Gatsby's arrival decided that the Lakers' strategy changed. No. 1 in the league, not to mention poor performance, their goal is directly to win the championship. The entire team has to make adjustments in all aspects. Readjust - if Gatsby is not satisfied.

Gatsby looked at Scott who was restless and desperately flattering in front of him, and felt a little funny in his heart, but he also understood very well. After all, it is not easy to find a job, especially the head coach of the NBA. There are only 30 positions in total. The team's head coach has not been changed for more than 20 to [-] years, so there are even fewer opportunities.

Gatsby cooperated with Scott to perform, and gave a relatively high evaluation of Scott's tactics, but there are still some things that can be added to it, such as V-shaped offense, Princeton system, passing and cutting, These are all available.

Scott's unhappiness flashed past, and he immediately echoed Gatsby and said yes, he must think about it when he goes back, and so on. It seemed that the chat was quite pleasant.

After Scott left, Gatsby shook his head, feeling that the next step might be difficult.

During the training camp, the temperament of the entire Lakers is lazy. Although the players are not late, their spirits are always a little sluggish. Of course, except for Kobe, this training madman will not relax easily.

Nick Young, Jordan Hill, Wesley Johnson and others always looked sluggish, and occasionally they could smell the smell of wine and leaves, which made Gatsby frown.

He only encountered this situation in the first year of the Knicks. After he became the core of the team, no one dared to do this, because those who dared to do this were all traded away, but he is new here now, and he still has to Observe for a while.

Head coach Scott also made Gatsby frown. For the first time, Scott took the initiative to come to the door and said so many nice things. However, when it came to training, Gatsby had never practiced the tactics he wanted. Scott's playbook is also quietly gathering dust.

Of course, these are all problems. The biggest problem is-the Lakers' chaos is even better than the previous Knicks!
The chaos of the Knicks at that time was due to the general manager's stupidity, but the boss was that one after all, but the current era of the Lakers is a drama of palace fighting.

Xiao Hua's intentions were very sinister, throwing Gatsby into this vortex, if Gatsby failed to produce something, then it would be better to spend some time in Los Angeles, just to let other people show their heads , Gatsby has put the entire league's stars into disgrace in recent years.

If Gatsby can get the Lakers out of this situation, that would be great. The Lakers are one of the most profitable teams in the league. It is a great thing for the league that the Lakers can rise again!

Anyway, Xiao Hua is not at a loss.

Gatsby had heard of the fierce palace fights of the Lakers in his previous life, but he didn't know much about it. Before he came, he specially asked Li Wanyu to find someone to investigate.

After the investigation, Li Wanyu sent Gatsby a thick book, and Gatsby gasped after reading it!
Combining the information and the facts of his later life, he can roughly judge that this was the time when the internal fighting among the Lakers was at its most intense!
Now in power is Jim Buss, the second son of the former Lakers owner, and his rival is his sister, Jenny Buss.

On February 2013, 2, Jerry Buss passed away.

This not only cast an ominous shadow on the Lakers, but also the battle for the crown prince left by him has become very mysterious.

Before Buss died, he formed a trust fund with 66% of the shares he held in the Lakers, and then the six children held equal voting rights, and Jenny and Jim joined the Lakers board of directors, of which Jenny was in charge of business operations. Jim is in charge of basketball.

It's all about performing their own duties, but Jim Buss is really not a good player in managing the team, and he made a series of stupid tricks to turn a good Zijin Dynasty into a chicken feather.

Jenny is the most gifted in sports business management. When she was studying at USC, she was a part-time director of the school’s sports department. Later, she successively served as the general manager of the Thin Rope Team, the NBL Kings, and the Forum Arena. In the mid-90s, she officially entered The Lakers serve as director of business operations.

Since you Jim can't do this well, it should be reasonable for me, Jenny, to do it, right?
So Jenny Buss pressed hard.

In January 2014, the media reported that Jim Buss promised his brothers and sisters under the pressure of Jenny that if the Lakers did not become a championship-level team within three to four years, he would take the initiative to dismiss get out of class.

What Jenny said after that was that Jim set a deadline. If he could not get the Lakers into the second round of the playoffs before the end of the 2016-17 season, he would be dismissed unconditionally.

Chicken feathers all over the place!

Gatsby sighed.

No wonder Little Buss was so enthusiastic, and even ran to his house to meet him. This was treating him as a life-saving straw.

The more Gatsby thought about it, the more annoying he became.

It was already very upset to be kicked out of the Knicks by Xiao Hua, but now I have encountered such a mess, it is conceivable that Jenny Buss must regard herself as a thorn in the flesh in order to let Jim Buss step down, and then she There must be a lot of resistance to implement all kinds of ideas.

If he doesn’t want to do anything, he can spend a few years with the Lakers and return to the Knicks. But with his temper, he doesn’t want to waste time. If that’s the case, he might as well just retire and study for a few years. Then come back to play.

In this way, it is bound to face Jenny Buss, which also means encountering Magician, Pelinka and others. Pelinka is Kobe's agent, but he replaced Cooper after Jenny Buss came to power. Cheek, I'm afraid it's Jenny Buss.

From the moment he came to the Lakers, he was the enemy of Jenny Buss, because as long as Gatsby wants to play well and let the team enter the playoffs and finals, he is harming the interests of Jenny Buss, Let her plan fail.

Gatsby smiled bitterly. This is like a war between countries. There is no evil, only positions. As long as you are in it, there is no way to escape.

As long as Gatsby wants to get ahead, he's Jenny Buss' enemy!
