Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 120 A Pot of Cold Water

"Jim, can you tell me what's going on now? Why does it look like we are the eighth team in the Western Conference?" Looking at the scoreboard on the field, Nicholson's tone was not good.

Jim could only smile wryly.

In the second quarter of the game, the Lakers were still in a daze, and there was no improvement. Instead, the Suns fought more and more courageously, expanding the point difference to [-] points.

Artest, who played well some time ago, this game is like being suddenly sucked away by aliens and waiting for Jordan to save him. He is full of ugly appearances on the court, not only at a loss for offense, but also for defense. There was nothing Mike Miller and Marion of the ball could do.

The Zen master once tried to put Gerald Wallace at the top of the small forward position, but Gerald Wallace was more than brave and inexperienced, especially the fact that he liked to jump up and block shots was caught by the sun. The pick-and-roll looked for Gerald Wallace at this point, causing consecutive kills. In just 6 minutes of playing time, Gerald Wallace received 3 fouls.

Kobe is back to the state he was in February. After getting the ball, he ignores all opponents and teammates. He only has the basket in his eyes. However, he feels cold this time. He only made 15 of 4 shots in the first half, and even made 5 three-pointers. Lost all, relied on free throws to get 12 points.

"This is not a good sign. I have to think about how to deal with the media later. If the fight continues like this, the only good news is that we will occupy the headlines of the sports pages of major newspapers tonight."

Jim's mood was not as relaxed as his tone. The Lakers fell behind 37 to 55 and entered the intermission.

"Are you sure you don't have to go to the locker room and yell at these little guys, 'I'll cut you all if you beat me like this'? I think they lack a little motivation to win the championship for three consecutive years, see It seems that the championship is not so attractive." Nicholson leaned on the back of the chair, tilted his head and said to Jim.

"No need, this is the job of the head coach. Phil has his own ideas and methods. A good director doesn't need to do all the work of lighting, photography, set recording, editing, etc. What he has to do is to control the overall situation. Don't let this The script went off track. Am I right, Mr. Mike Murphy?" Jim handed the popcorn bucket in front of Nicholson.

Nicholson laughed out loud, grabbed a few popcorns but didn't put them in his mouth, raised his head slightly, and said to Jim: "If the lighting engineer and the cameraman have a conflict about a shot, you, as the director, Who do you think you should listen to?"

"Who should I listen to? They should all listen to the director."

"So are you supposed to do something before your cinematographer and gaffer fight and mess up the whole crew?"

"I will, but not now. Sometimes, a loss is not a bad thing. They need to face themselves. The whole season went too well. Sometimes I can't believe it. It's so easy to get the first place in the regular season. .”

"You know Jim? I like your confidence, the same as your old man and Jerry West. I hope you don't let me down and everyone sitting in this arena."

"Nick, you have to consider that there are still a few Suns fans in this arena. I may be destined to let them down..."

The result of the game disappointed all the Lakers fans, cheered the Suns fans, and surprised the neutral fans.

The Lakers, which won three consecutive championships and advanced to the playoffs this season with the No. 79 record in the Western Conference, lost 103-[-] to the Phoenix Suns at the buzzer to return to the playoffs in the playoffs opener.

太阳双马表现十分出色，马布里砍下27分9个助攻，马里昂则得到了26分12篮板3抢断4盖帽的全面数据。

"Sean is the best teammate I have ever worked with. He is omnipotent and full of energy. As for Kevin? Oh, please don't be funny, their strength is simply incomparable. The gap between the two is like Michael Jordan and Mario Alley." In an interview with ESPN after the game, Marbury lashed out at his former teammate Kevin Garnett.

Judging from this game alone, Garnett's performance is indeed relatively average. The data of 17 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists is a seriously unqualified result for a superstar of his level.

"Kevin can play multiple positions, defend multiple positions, and Sean can too. You have seen the way they play, you don't need to ask me such a question. I was playing in Minnesota, and that team couldn't see it at all. To the future, but now you have all seen, Sean and I, and others, we can win, we can beat last year's championship. Facing us, the Lakers have no chance of winning at all, do you know why? Because of Kevin's soft bastard Wearing a Lakers jersey!" Marbury, who was in the mood, said no goodness in his mouth, but the louder he said, the happier the reporters of course.

Because the winner can speak freely, but the loser has no right to speak.

"After losing a playoff game, looking at the media, it seems like our team is about to disband!" In the meeting room, Laughlin threw a stack of newspapers on the table without any regard for his image, knocking over took a cup.

"God bless, Bonnie, this is my desk, don't mess with things!" Jim grabbed a copy of "Cleveland Candide" and wiped the water stains on the desk.

"Seriously, Jim, if we lose this round of the playoffs, we really have to take the blame and resign. I don't want Pat Riley's story to happen to us." Kupchak sat on the chair, Arms folded, eyes staring blankly.

"Yeah, especially I could have kept Shaquille O'Neal and picked Kobe Bryant, I've had the opportunity to get Shawn Marion and picked Kevin Garnett, every year in this league So some stupid GMs, if we lose the playoffs, am I going to win the award for the 'dumbest GM in the league'? Oh no, it's you, Mitch, you're the GM ” Jim threw the crumpled Cleveland Candide into the trash can after wiping the table, pulled out a copy of the Orange County Register, and continued cleaning.

"I can't believe you're still in the mood for a joke! Shouldn't we be doing something? Sitting here arguing, waiting to be the laughing stock of the league?" Honest Kupchak couldn't help it anymore, stood up and yelled at Jim. road.

"Do you think I should fire Phil Jackson and become my own coach, or just put on the Lakers No. 1 jersey and play?" Jim was also a little angry.

"Boss, Mr. Kupchak. Coach Jackson, Kobe and Kevin are here, and they are outside the door." Liubov held a stack of documents, opened the door and said softly.

"Ask them to come in and see what we can do."
