Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 116 God's Dice

Does God play dice?
In God's dictionary, everything is preordained. He can decide how many times the rolled dice will roll in the air, at what angle it will land, how many times it will be bounced, and which side will end up.

There is no unknown world, which is actually quite boring. To some extent, prophet and madman are synonymous.

The winner takes everything, the loser has nothing, the rules of this world are so simple, in order to become the final winner, everyone will do anything at all.

Luckily for Jim, he has a dice in his hand.

In the second half, Kobe, as Carlisle expected, stood up and reaped the game.

Reggie Miller couldn't stop his scoring and could only try to influence Bryant's emotions with harsh trash talk, but this had no other effect except to arouse Bryant's fighting spirit.

Bryant scored 20 points in the third quarter.

The subsequent games were not as exciting as the first half due to the 10-point difference.

Until the last 2 minutes, Reggie Miller took out his ghost arrow that pierced Yang with a hundred steps and hit 3 consecutive three-pointers, as if to repeat the scene of inserting a wooden stake into the heart of the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

With 10 seconds left in the game, the Pacers trailed by 2 points and the Lakers took a sideline kick.

Garnett throws the ball out of bounds and Mason interferes in front of him.

Kobe was heavily marked, and Garnett chose to pass the ball to Artest on the other side.

Bowen rushed over to take foul tactics. Generally speaking, Artest made less than 7% of his free throws. If he could be committed on him, it would be much better than Kobe or Billups.Once there is a ball and no free throw is made, with Miller's hot touch, the Pacers still have a chance.

Artest took two steps outside the three-point line and saw Bowen flying towards him. He didn't choose to dribble to avoid or pass the ball to his teammates to delay the time, but made an unexpected move.

He throws the ball.

The entire audience was stunned, what is this doing?Leading by two points, holding the ball, with only 10 seconds left, the opponent started to use foul tactics, but he threw the ball?
Artest himself obviously realized that he had done something, he raised his hands, ready to hug his head...

As a result, this nonsensical three-pointer just fell straight into the basket, 9 meters away, and the position happened to be the same as the last time the two teams confronted each other. The position of Miller's lore was symmetrical.

Artest stretched his hands holding his head again, and greeted the cheers of the audience heroically, as well as the chest-bumping celebrations of his teammates.

Reggie Miller smiled bitterly, fate is so inexplicably wonderful.

Even if the atmosphere is rendered in place, this is just a regular season. With the Pacers' desperate three-pointer, the Lakers won 97 to 92.

After the Lakers defeated the Pacers and avenged the lore, they cleared the haze of January and February and got back on track. They defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Philadelphia 76ers who came to challenge in a row, and regained their stability. Their first throne in the Western Conference, and then they will face the challenge of the Milwaukee Bucks.

As a famous coach of a generation, George Karl cannot tolerate anyone challenging his authority.He kicked out the disobedient Ray Allen and re-brought his beloved disciple Gary Payton from Seattle to Milwaukee.

As a result, the Bucks have two 6-foot-4, 190-pound point guards who are good at protecting the ball with their backs and relying on their backs to launch offense. Intermittent and non-repetitive profanity.

The difference is that one of them is ugly and the other is very ugly.

Soon, Cassel and Payton had the same taste, joined forces, and had a chemical reaction.

It's a pity that this chemical reaction did not appear on the court, but appeared at the entrance of a certain nightclub. When the two of them led their teammates to be romantic, they clashed with several workers and attracted the police.

Fortunately, the police believed that although the two spoke a lot of vulgar and indecent language, they did not constitute a crime.

George Karl also simply let himself go. On the offensive end, Cassel and Payton took turns attacking the opponent's point guard with their buttocks.

As for the defensive end, George Karl wisely chose to give up. Since then, he has embarked on an offensive kaleidoscope, defending the road of no return. Frustrated, the supersonics, a strong defensive team that fought hard against Jordan for six games.

Except for the matchup between Payton and Billups, there is nothing else to watch in the game between the Bucks and the Lakers. Yu Wei's surviving glove scored 22 points, 8 assists and 4 steals, and he still played as the team's first shot. With ease.Seeing that the thin Payton can always succeed in getting a position in a deep position, and complete the back-to-back force, I have to admire his ability to use his body with great proficiency.

In the triangle offensive system, Billups doesn't have too many singles opportunities. Except for a few low-post singles occasionally in the transition period, he plays the role of a shooter most of the time.

This game also explained one of Jim's doubts over the years, why he joined the Lakers at the end of his career, and also performed at the quasi-star level the previous season. The 40-year-old Malone can become the team's only lubricant, while Payton is always free. Misfit outside the system?
A guard who has been using his back with the ball as his main offensive method since he entered the league, you let him suddenly change, pass the ball to the big brother inside halfway, and then run open to catch the ball and shoot?It's strange to be able to play comfortably.On the contrary, a point guard like Fisher, who doesn't have much offensive power and creativity when holding the ball, is good at three-pointers and defense, and is only responsible for dribbling the ball across the half court, is more suitable for the triangle attack launched from the low post system.

The Lakers defeated the Bucks 103 to 88 without bloodshed and won four consecutive victories.

Another thing happened quietly. Rob Pelinka officially replaced Arne Teran and became Kobe Bryant's agent. Now he has two Lakers players under him, Kobe and Boozer.

Before the trade window ended, the Lakers did not find a suitable trade partner to send Boozer away, so he could only stay in the team until the end of the season.As the season progressed, Boozer's defensive weakness led to his playing time getting shorter and shorter, and his average per game dropped to around 7 points and 4 rebounds.

It was the Central Market and the Mexican restaurant last time.

This time it was Jim who arrived early for the appointment, with headphones on, a CD playing, and a taco in front of him.

Sometimes, for business reasons, it is not bad to leave the office and take a walk outside.

Pelinka arrived five minutes earlier than expected.

"...Do I understand that you have not fulfilled our agreement regarding Carlos Boozer?"
