Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 144 Publishing Tasks
Amid the cheers of the home fans, the Lakers players walked through the aisle and returned to the locker room.

Kobe, who was walking at the end, bowed his head, pointed to the sky with his right hand, and greeted the audience.

In order to win the battle of Tianwangshan, the Lakers gave almost everything, as vigorous as Artest, and they all had cramps in the fourth quarter of the game.Only Kobe has such unfathomable physical strength. He played 45 minutes and shined on both offense and defense.

Before a guest in Dallas in Game [-], the Lakers had two days to rest.

"If we all feel tired, then the opponent will only suffer more than us! The sixth game will be the terminator of this round of the series!" Jim is full of confidence in winning the series. The vice president has only one goal, to lead the team to win the championship and get soft hands.

With the introduction of a new medical team, close monitoring of players' health throughout the season, and strict control of playing time in the regular season, the team did not suffer from extensive injuries, and the players' physical fitness remained in good condition.The core player, Kobe, took a month off due to a slight knee injury, but after his comeback, he recovered well in the first two rounds of the playoffs. The first contributor to the team's victory.

The only news that worried the team was that Gerald Wallace accidentally sprained his left foot in the fourth quarter of the game. Although it was not serious, he was included in the daily observation list. To be on the safe side, He should not be able to play in the next game.

In the west, the Lakers and Mavericks are fighting each other, but the Eastern Conference Finals has already been decided early.

New Jersey Nets coach Byron Scott is the main scorer of the Lakers in the late showtime and a fast-break expert, and the Nets under his rule also have a taste of the super-bankrupt version of the acquired hook era.

Relying on Kidd's comprehensive skills and driving ability, outside Kidd-Cory Kittles-Richard Jefferson's fast rotation defense, Kenyon Martin's athletic ability, high-pressure defense on the outside, forcing opponents After a mistake, score points with a quick counter attack.

Even if the outside line of this lineup is not golden, it is at least silver-level, otherwise the Nets will not be able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals consecutively.

It's a pity that the inside line of the Nets is indeed a loser, or the worst kind of black-hearted cotton.

Their center last season was Todd McClochy, the former third center of the 76ers, a professional cannon fodder for Shark Shark, and a professional pinball machine player.In the finals, he was randomly flattened and rounded by O'Neal. This season, he was sent back to the 76ers by the Nets. As a result, he was reimbursed for the season due to injury. He is considering retiring and specializing in pinball machines.

In the new season, Uncle Mu, who was traded for McCloch and the former No. 20 scorer Van Horn, suffered from constant injuries and unacceptable conditions. He only played more than [-] games and played the worst performance of his career.The Nets can use only two popular insiders: the famous gay guy Jason Collins and the white mamba Brian Scalabrine.They have three main functions, filling the number of players, consuming playing time, and providing collision volume.

The most irritating thing is that their opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals, the starting center of the Indiana Pacers, was O'Neal.

In Byron Scott's heart, there is always a sentence that he wants to greet O'Neill: "How are you? How old are you?"

The person in charge of the Indiana Pacers was the absolute core of the Celtics back then, the thorn in the eyes of the Los Angeles people, the enemy of the magician, the big bird Larry Bird, in a sense, the Eastern Conference Finals between the Pacers and the Nets , There is also the background of the Lakers and Celtics behind it.

It's a pity that the weakest link of the Nets happened to meet the heavy firepower of the Pacers. Although Byron Scott and Jason Kidd led the team to make tenacious resistance, they failed to prevent the Nets from suffering The fate of the Pacers sweep.

O'Neal played another epic stat in the series, averaging 32.5 points and 15.8 rebounds per game. Nets fans couldn't help shivering. Even Pacers fans couldn't help but think of the horror of being dominated by O'Neal in the Finals three years ago. Fortunately, this The big guy is now his own.

The Pacers took the lead in advancing to the finals. With a large number of veterans in the lineup, they got relatively enough rest time to recover their strength.

The general manager of the Pacers, Bird, has received unanimous praise from the outside world. After transforming from a coach to a manager, it took only one season to complete the reconstruction of the Pacers and bring them back to the finals.

"Very well, the pressure is now on our side. In any case, Larry Bird brought the team to the Finals through this trade, but we are still fighting to the death with others in the Western Conference Finals." Jim I turned off the TV, and Garnett’s performance has been questioned recently. He was suppressed and at a disadvantage when he faced Duncan in the Western Conference semifinals. In the second game, he scored double 20 and suppressed Nowitzki once.

You know, at this time Nowitzki is just a big white soft foreign power forward, and Garnett is the one who wants to compete with Duncan for the number one power forward in active service. He is [-]-[-] with Nowitzki. What people expect from Garnett.

Coupled with O'Neal's dominance as always, many people began to think that the Lakers made a loss-making deal.

"I really didn't expect that you would still care about what the media said nonsense?" After several seasons, Kupchak had already understood Jim's temper and knew that it was not his style.

"Of course I don't care. What I worry about is that someone will care. Remember when Kobe was injured? Kevin's stats made me wonder if Wilt Chamberlain was back on the court. What was the media doing at that time? We Knowing that Kevin made sacrifices, he's focused on defense and playmaking, but what about everyone else? Including our fans, yelling 'we want Shaq' in front of the team, oh my god .” Jim is obviously very dissatisfied with the media’s provocation and the follow-up of some extreme fans.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Simple, a good game."

The process of convincing Phil Jackson is not easy. Jim needs to present the facts, reason, and list the benefits of letting Garnett play a good game for the team. Sharing the offensive pressure, the league's reputation on the public opinion level, and the big-selling jerseys on the economic level... In short, Jim used all the available arguments and finally reached a consensus with Zen Master.

Mission objective: To ensure Garnett's sixth victory in the Western Conference Finals, let Garnett get better statistics. It would be even better if he can fully suppress the opposing Nowitzki.

　4 Even if you stay up late, you have to finish it, rushing duck!
