Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 184

"I'm just reading the game. When the team needs me to score, I will stand up and score. No one can stop me from doing so, so we won the victory." so explained.

"Everyone on the team played great, we had a tough start but Kevin, Karl and Dwyane kept us in the game, Cuttino Mobley in the first half It felt good, but Kobe adjusted after halftime and dominated the opponent on both ends of the offense and defense. It is necessary to get a victory on a day like Christmas, and we need such a victory to dedicate to People who support us as a gift." When it comes to reversing the Rockets, Jim did not hesitate to praise the team.

"When the opponent was chasing points, we didn't respond, and our defense lost focus. Garnett was like a spider, very difficult to deal with. We will rebound in the next game." Yao Ming seemed to face the reporter's question. A little frustrated, the big lead was reversed, and no one could be happy.

After the previous stage of intensive schedule, the Lakers can finally enjoy the sweet home game. The day after Christmas, the league has arranged 13 games. The poor Rockets have just finished their away game in Los Angeles and are about to head to Denver. Challenge the Nuggets, and the Lakers game is scheduled three days later.

The opponent is the old enemy, the Boston Celtics.

After losing Antoine Walker and trading for Lavlenz, the Celtics' record plummeted. Although Walker's style of play is very cancerous, after all, his ability is there, and he can have a really good game from time to time. Lavlenz, who has a big contract, only needs to open up space for Pierce, and the salary of 1300 million US dollars is only left to stand.

After playing 17 games, Lavrentz was injured and was reimbursed for the season.

The newly appointed Danny Ainge immediately began to look for remedies, and he contacted Cavaliers general manager Jim Paxson.

The boss of the Cavaliers is Ricky Davis, who has a strong style of play and has made a lot of tricks to get a triple-double. He looks forward to achieving some dominance with the assistance of the team's rookie LeBron James.

Of course, Jim Paxson couldn't bear his poor performance for two years, so he was disturbed by Ricky Davis. He hit it off with Angie and sent Ricky Davis, Chris Mihm, Michael S. Tewater and a second-round pick in 05 were traded from the Celtics for Tony Batty, Kendrick Brown and Eric Williams.

After the trade, the Celtics relied on the double guns of Ricky Davis and Pierce, coupled with the outstanding performance of Marcus Banks, the 13th overall pick in the first round. In the last 10 games, the Celtics have achieved With a record of 8 wins and 2 losses, they squeezed into the top eight from the lottery all the way, and the state can be described as hot.

"After so many unfortunate things happened, although the Celtics have not been to the Finals for more than ten years, history is always hanging on the ceiling. We will not just because the Celtics are now a weak team, Just let our guard down, we will respect the game, respect the opponent, Danny Ainge will understand this, Paul Pierce is the same, he has been a Lakers fan since he was a child, but since he put on that green suit, the game against the Lakers has never been No mercy. This kind of competition started 50 years ago, it will continue now, and it will continue in the future."

The team also used practical actions to demonstrate what Jim said, respect the game and respect the opponent.

Artest slammed Pierce all over the court, and even tore off Pierce's pants during a defense, and got a technical foul.

Of course, this defense also played an effect. Pierce made 20 of 7 shots and scored only 19 points.

Of course, the performance of the team leader cannot help the Celtics win. Ricky Davis showed his true colors in front of the Lakers' defense. He also made 11 of 3 shots and barely reached double digits by scoring free throws.

If it weren't for Kobe who was also very iron, making 18 of 5 shots in the game, the second quarter of the game would have entered garbage time, but the performance of the Lakers in double figures with 7 players still turned this yellow-green fateful matchup into a one-sided massacre, 107 Compared to 82, the Lakers sat at home and slaughtered the Celtics.

After New Year's Day, with the power of a winning streak, the Lakers were a guest in Seattle to challenge the Sonics away.

The Sonics' lineup was led by James, with Ray Allen, Rashad Lewis, Vladmir Radmanovich and Brent Barry lined up in the four salute members.

Of course, this James is not that James.

Jerome James, who is 2 meters tall and weighs 13 kilograms, as the starting center for the Supersonics, averaged 136 minutes per game, scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 fouls. He received an annual salary of 3 million U.S. dollars. For comparison, Ben Wallace's annual salary this year is 500 million U.S. dollars, and the data is 400 points, 8.7 rebounds and 15.2 blocks.

Nate McMillan's team has four main tactics.

Ray Allen made a three-pointer;

Lewis made a three-pointer;

Radmanovic makes a three-pointer;
Others shoot threes.

When the three-point shot had not yet become a trend in the league, the Sonics' style of play was undoubtedly a clear stream. Even Nelson's Mavericks did not have such a high three-point shot ratio.

Jerome James successfully completed his task. After entering the field in the second quarter, facing Wade who made a rapid breakthrough, James made a comeback, directly pulled Wade from the air and fell heavily to the ground. The action triggered a confrontation between the players on both sides. The hot-tempered Garnett stood up for the little brother, picked up the basketball from the bench and smashed James angrily, was caught by the referee, and together with Nene who rushed forward and punched James directly was ejected, and the Sonics only paid for a better-than-nothing Jerome James.

The Sonics, who had lost the Lakers' two insiders, still resolutely shot three-pointers. Ray Allen made 14 of 8 three-pointers, Lewis made 5 of 3 shots, and Radmanovich made 4 of 3 shots. Rookie Ronald Murray made 4 of 2 three-pointers.Throughout the game, the Sonics made 42 crazy three-pointers and hit 20 of them. This unreasonable style of play made the Lakers exhausted. 108 to 113, the Lakers lost to the Sonics in the away game, and the winning streak was ended.

After the game, the Lakers players did not attend the press conference and rushed back to Los Angeles overnight to prepare for the next Los Angeles Derby.

"Jerome James should be thankful that he was born ten years late. It was a dirty foul. It was pure luck that Dwyane didn't get hurt. As for Kevin and Nene who were sent off, I can only say Said, I'm happy to see our players so united, it's wrong to fight, but you can't stand by while your teammates are attacked." Jim expressed his views through the "Los Angeles Daily News".
