Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 28 Jim Allen
In a sense, Kobe is the most terrifying nerve knife in this league.

When Fei Xia completely enters the bloodthirsty berserk mode, the only thing that can stop him is his own will.

Pull-up jump shot from mid-range on the pick-and-roll—hit!
After the three threats, he directly made a mid-range shot-hit!
Breaking through the air step by step, changing hands and laying up with the lever-hit!
Holding the ball behind his back, turning around and walking to the baseline, smashing dunks with one hand-2+1!

Fast break, 360-degree turn, two-handed slam dunk—show!

Two steps outside the three-point line to face the defense's large three-pointer-hollow into the net!
In less than 4 minutes of the second quarter, Kobe scored 16 points in a row, quickly spent the game, and single-handedly pushed the Blazers into the abyss of failure.

With the gradual return of the main lineup, the steady Lakers never gave the Blazers any hope of winning.The Blazers were given a disastrous defeat 115 to 78, and the game completely entered garbage time after the end of the third quarter.

本场MVP毫无悬念落在了科比手中，勇不可当的飞侠独砍46分4篮板2助攻，命中率是恐怖的23投18中。

O'Neal scored 23 points and 12 rebounds, which is a little bit sweaty.

While the OK combination is still strong, the performance of the new Lakers is also remarkable.

Anthony Mason scored 9 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. His ball-handling and support liberated Kobe's offensive firepower, allowing everyone to see a new version of Panman who can switch at will with or without the ball.

Rookie Arenas scored 13 points and 4 assists, and made 10 of 4 three-pointers, showing a strong desire to attack and confidence.

Ben Wallace only scored 2 points and made an embarrassing 6-of-0 free throws, but grabbed 18 rebounds and contributed 6 blocks.

The more depressing ones are Bowen and Stephen Jackson. After being forced by Wells, Bowen failed to play in the next game. Except for one foul, all other statistics were zero, while Jackson It was while scoring 1 points and 5 assists, he contributed the most 3 turnovers in the team.

Carrying the prestige of winning the playoffs last season, the Lakers were unstoppable in the first month of the regular season. There was no ups and downs due to the big lineup change. They double-killed the Suns, Nuggets and Jazz, defeated the Rockets, and reversed the Magic. , a wave of 15 consecutive victories, leading the pack with an undefeated record, marching forward into December.

Among them, the game between the Lakers and the Kings at home was highly anticipated by Jim, but because of the absence of the king's core Chris Webber due to injury, the matchup that was supposed to hit the earth turned into a unilateral massacre by the Lakers.

The wonderful performance of the Lakers attracted praise from all parties.Kobe's perfect performance of averaging 33.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists helped him win the Western Conference Player of the Month in November.

O'Neal, who believes that there is no need to play seriously in the regular season, averaged "only" 25.7 points and 11.3 rebounds per game.Shooting nearly 60 percent from the field, more than his free throw percentage.

Zen Master, who has continuously created his own coaching winning percentage, won the Best Coach of the Month Award without any dispute.

Arenas averaged more than 3 three-pointers per game, contributed 13.8 points, and became the team's third scorer. He has already entered the top ten in the rookie ranking re-evaluated by experts.Poor Fisher struggled for 5 years, finally looking forward to Harper's retirement. As a result, the position of the Lakers' starting point guard was killed halfway by this fearless No. 0 teenager.

However, Arenas failed to get the Rookie of the Month award. Gasol of the Grizzlies averaged 17.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, beating Jason Richardson, Tony Parker and Andre ·Kirilenko and other players are far ahead in the rookie list.

Anthony Mason's data has dropped significantly compared to last season when the Heat led the team with a single core. The data of 10.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game seems mediocre, but his arrival makes up for the fact that the Lakers do not have a third support. The problem with the ball point, the overall offense is much smoother.In the words that everyone is familiar with, it is "data cannot reflect his role."

Ben Wallace let everyone see his power on the defensive end, with 14.8 rebounds, 3.5 blocks and 1.9 steals, building a solid wall next to the Sharks.

After Bowen experienced a tragic debut, he gradually got some opportunities to play. The backup wing composed of him and Jackson made the bench scorers of each team complain.

In the eyes of the media, the Lakers' off-season operations can already score 99 points.The first credit should be attributed to the team's general manager Mitch Kupchak. It seems that he has been playing next to West for so many years, and it seems that he has buried his talent.

And the newly appointed vice president of the team, Jim Bass, has lost his sense of presence since he angered Mark Cuban in the playoffs last season, and has almost disappeared from the public. Brad Stevens is more familiar.

In this regard, Jim's explanation is: "You reporters are too bad, you always want to hear the truth from me, but my salary is not high, and I can't afford so many fines."

At this moment, Jim, known as the most non-existent vice president in history, was sitting in the office, biting a pen in his mouth, staring at the names of Buichler and Horace Grant on the payroll, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table .

The combined contract of more than 600 million yuan between the two will last for three years, which is simply unbearable in Jim's view.In addition to O'Neal and Daben, the team also has rookie center Okur and veteran manning with a basic salary. Mason and even Jackson can play power forwards and play well. The position is rather embarrassing.As for Buichler, who was reduced to a garbage contract in the Pistons, he came to the Lakers purely as an addition to the negative equity with a big deal, and there is no place for him in the rotation.

With the team's lineup gradually fixed, Jim felt it was time for a knife.

It's a pity that there is no Stevens by his side, and many things need to be handled by himself, which makes Jim feel a little uncomfortable.At some point, Jim felt that finding a young and beautiful assistant should be the focus of the next stage of work.

After much consideration and hesitation, Jim called Kupchak again.

"Mitch, are you familiar with the general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers?"

After witnessing Kemp's final peak, the Cavaliers have never entered the playoffs again, and the dignity of the old strong team does not allow them to play badly regardless of everything, so the record for several years has been neither high nor low. At once.

Relying on Andre Miller, Ramond Murray and Big Z as the skeleton to build the team, supplemented Ricky Davis, Jumaine Jones and Tyrone Hill, and ushered in injuries The comeback of Wesley Person, the Cavaliers planned to make a big splash in the Eastern Conference, but things backfired. As Hill and Big Z were injured one after another, the Cavaliers only achieved a start of 5 wins and 10 losses.

The Cavaliers, who could only rely on Mihm to support the scene inside, soon received a trade offer from the Lakers.

Trade future draft picks for Horace Grant?Do you want to accept this deal?
