Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 18 Plan ahead
O'Neal grabbed the basketball that popped out, and the clock was up.

With the red light on, the ups and downs of the first game of the finals also came to an end.

艾弗森在赛后统计上写下了47分5篮板6助攻5抢断的惊人数据，但这也没能帮助76人从斯台普斯中心带走一场胜利。

奥尼尔44分20篮板的数据毫不逊色，身旁甘当绿叶的科比拿下27+7+7的全面数据，而卢贡献的5分5抢断，成为压垮76人的最后一根稻草。

After a day off, the second game of the finals will be played, but everyone actually understands that the game is over when the final whistle of the first game is blown.

Jim walked to the center of the venue and exchanged meaningful glances with the Zen master who had just finished the interview.

The rest of the game is likely to be just a formality. What I have to consider is how to flex my muscles during the offseason and continue to carry out my evil plan.

Jim kept Darcy in Europe, continued to pay attention to the players in the European league, and collected a large number of scouting reports. Although from Jim's point of view, this is basically to show Dr. Bath, which players can be selected, Which players can play value, Jim has long been clear.

"Jaskovicius? Forget it, this kind of player without defense, his advantage is not enough to be an advantage in the NBA, but his weakness is absolutely fatal. Papa Lucas? He will not want to come to the NBA. Ginobi Lee? Gosh, he's already booked by the old drunkard, don't you pay attention to the draft list of the previous two years? Hell, I'm in Los Angeles now, not Paris, and it's only three o'clock in the morning here, and I don't even have Kobe I got up early, and it's all thanks to you!" Waking up from his sleep with a call from Darcy, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Jim's mentality exploded.

In the previous game, when he saw Lagabel sent by the 76ers, Jim found that his work was still not in place. He forgot that Kobe's mortal enemy was in a state of no ball in the middle of the season, and he was picked up by the 76ers. leak.

Jim, who was completely sleepy, opened the database and began to inspect the player roster, for fear of missing any familiar names.

Next season, Rodman, Harper, Dennis Scott and other veterans choose to retire, which is known to everyone, and Fox and Grant, Jim believes that if there are suitable replacements, they can also be waived, Steven Sen didn't get many chances to play this season, and his performance was only unsatisfactory. Reid squeezed into the best rookie team, but with Kobe at the same position, it was too difficult for Reed to make a comeback.And Lu's rookie contract is about to expire, and the team doesn't need to continue to deal with Iverson, so let Lu guide to other teams to get a big contract.

After all the calculations, after the end of this season, apart from O'Neal and Kobe, as well as Reid and Stevenson who still hold rookie contracts, the only two lucky generals left are Fisher and Hawley.

Although Jim has a goal in the next draft, it is far from enough. The Kings next season will be a terrible opponent. weakness.

Pushing open the window, Jim looked out at the night.

"This is what Los Angeles looks like at three o'clock in the morning."

The next morning, with tousled hair and dark circles under his eyes, Jim headed to a nearby restaurant for breakfast.

"Mitch, I'm sorry to take up your rest time, but I need your help to pay attention to these two players. I hope we can sign them as soon as the free market starts."

"Yes, you heard correctly, these two people, if they move slowly, I'm afraid they will become our strong enemies again."

"Don't look at how they are playing now, the environment creates talents, understand? Will coconuts in Hawaii and coconuts in Alaska have the same taste?
"Okay Mitch, that's not the point. I know Alaska doesn't grow coconuts. It's just a metaphor. Do you know the metaphor? That's it. Good luck."

Jim yelled loudly into the phone, and the look of his mouth was flying, so that the diners who were also in the restaurant responded with hostile eyes.

On a table near the door, two girls were talking about something.

"Abby, look, that guy has the same hairstyle and smoky makeup as you, but he looks too abstract."

"Stop making trouble Kelly, by the way, are you really going back to Burleson, why don't you stay in Los Angeles and continue singing?"

"I'm not as lucky as you. Things in Los Angeles are too expensive. I can't even pay the rent. How can I sing?" Kelly was a little sullen.

"I heard that Fox will launch a talent show next year. Why don't you prepare to participate in it then?" The person who called just now had already sat at their table at some point.

"Sir, I think it's very rude to eavesdrop on other people's chats and interrupt." Abby stared at Jim with a bad tone.

"Ladies, I don't think it's polite to discuss other people's attire behind their backs."

"You mean talent show? What talent show? Why don't we know?" Kelly's question interrupted the tension between the two.

"Have you heard of Pop Idol? Next year, this show will be launched in the United States and renamed American Idol. This will be the best stage for those of you who have dreams but no means to express yourself...but this show is still in the In the planning stage, you will get the official news in about half a year, and I don't want you to waste this half a year washing dishes for the hotel... Oh, Brad, here you are! Sorry , I have to go first, and I hope you will remember me next time we meet." After speaking, Jim got up and left their table.

"Strange guy, we don't know your name yet."

"Please call me Ray Von, you're welcome."

Jim tossed his hair, leaving a back that he thought was chic.A wallet slipped from his pocket.

"Hey! You dropped this!" Abby picked up the wallet and chased it out the door.

But Jim didn't seem to hear, got into Stevens' car, and the two disappeared in a flash.

"Damn... Hey, what is this?"

Abby finds a note in her wallet.

"Just treat it as my early sponsorship for two future big stars. If you must repay me, I hope to get a signed record of your new album and free concert tickets."

Open the wallet, there are two checks inside.

"Kelly, I don't think you need to go back to Burleson..."

"But we've got to find this guy. What did he say his name was?"

The two of Jim came to the office soon.

"Sir, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. I always thought you were really not interested in girls. With all due respect, the finals are not over yet. Isn't it too early to start celebrating now?" Point... Oh yes, I noticed that there was a girl just now who looks exactly the same as you now. Is it the same design? I think you should go to the stylist to ask for compensation, because this hairstyle and eye makeup are too much. Oops..." Stevens, in a rare opening, joked about Jim.

"Speak the truth..."

"I have built a team model according to your idea and target players, but there are still a few problems to be solved..." Stevens took out a thick stack of documents, which were filled with various data.

"let me see."
