Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 294

The Lakers, who were the most active in the past few seasons, have maintained a rare silence in the trading market this season, making people who eat melons question whether the team has lost their aggressiveness. After all, in this wolf-like league, No reinforcement equals weakening.

Of course, Jim didn't lose his aggressiveness, but in his opinion, the time was not ripe. Even the players acquired by the trade would not bring about a qualitative change in the team, and it might destroy the current perfect salary structure. Billups' cabbage The contract can last for two and a half years, and it will be the era of the league's point guard talent blowout.

As for Carter, the current demigod is not the Uncle Carter who just wants to play, doesn't care about stats, status doesn't matter, and playing time doesn't matter.There is still a Wade in the team that needs to be cultivated, which is obviously unrealistic.

"Reject all trade proposals. What we need is stability. Now that others are challengers, they need changes more. Moreover, a player of Jamison's level cannot bring us a big improvement."

The next day, the Lakers played against the Grizzlies at home.

In Jordan's famous "Flu Battle" back then, the boss who got food poisoning because he ordered a pizza, with a high fever of 40 degrees, scored 44 points, 38 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals and 3 block in 1 minutes of playing in the Tianwangshan matchup in the finals , helped the Chicago Bulls narrowly beat the Utah Jazz 90 to 88, and got the match point in the series, becoming an eternal classic.

Later, Jordan said in an interview: "Coach Jackson knew that my physical condition was very bad. He once wanted me to rest for a while, but I asked him not to replace me, because I knew that once I sat back on the bench , I may not be able to stand up anymore, but on the court, I can run and score desperately, and only in this way can I temporarily forget about my illness."

The performance of the Lakers seems to be paying tribute to Joe in the opposite direction.It has been proved to the world that once the tension of the mainspring is relaxed, if you want to regain strength, you need to twist it a few more times to accumulate strength.

The Lakers, who had a day off, were in no condition. Since Kobe Bryant and below, the whole team went crazy, and the game was extremely ugly.

Kobe played the worst game of the season. He made 16 of 2 shots and made 4 turnovers. He barely scored in double figures by relying on free throws. His helpers, Billups made 7 of 1 shots, Wade Battier was 9 for 2 and Battier was 8 for 2...

Except that Garnett made 13 of 7 shots and scored 20 points and 23 rebounds, and made Gasol, the queen sandbag on the opposite side, only 18 of 5 shots and only scored 14 points. The performance was still online. The state of the Lakers throughout the game was a mess. , Countless chances came out, but they just couldn't make the shot. In the third quarter, Jim sat on the coach's bench and sighed, shaking his head sadly, which was played on a loop by the major media.

The Lakers shot 31.9 percent from the field and 17.9 percent from three in a 72-80 home loss to the Grizzlies.

"No one wants to lose in this way. Everyone has a few days a month when they feel bad and can't make shots. Yes. Our defense is in place. We only allowed the opponent to score 80 points. Under normal circumstances, we can win this game. Our tactical movement is no problem. Many balls form open shot opportunities. Players need to shoot We dropped those balls, but God was not on our side, blowing out all the balls that would have been scored.” After the game, Jim accepted the interview very helplessly.

Knowing shame and then being brave is an important virtue for social progress, especially Kobe, he will never allow himself to continue to play such an ugly performance on the court. After the game, led by him, the Lakers players consciously came to the training hall and practiced crazily Shooting, it was not until the middle of the night that the administrator drove them back to their respective residences.

The atmosphere of the team is very important. Why is it said that a bad team is not suitable for cultivating new players? Many times, they are used to losing and losing, and their requirements for themselves are low.

The effect of extra shooting is still there. In the next game against the New Orleans Hornets at home, Billups broke out suddenly, hit 6 three-pointers, and scored a game-high 31 points. Kobe scored 29 points. Nate scored 13 points and 21 rebounds. He averaged 3 rebounds per game in double figures in three consecutive games. He also surpassed Ben Wallace and ranked first in the league leaderboard.

Although Baron Davis came back, it did not stop the Hornets from sinking in the abyss of losing streak. David Wesley scored 20 points, Baron Davis had 17 points, and P.J. Brown had 14 points and 17 rebounds , several people are still maintaining the final dignity of the former Eastern powerhouse, but the Lakers still kept the victory in the Staples Center with 111 to 89, and at the same time gave the Hornets a 7-game losing streak, bringing their record to 2. With 22 wins and [-] losses, they are at the bottom of the league.

Christmas is coming again, and the Lakers have been the protagonists of the Christmas games over the years. This year, the league's opponent for the Lakers is the Houston Rockets.

Firstly, after the China Games, the popularity of the NBA in China was unprecedentedly high. A large number of Chinese TV stations purchased the NBA’s broadcast rights. What a dollar, not to mention the sneakers.

Secondly, the confrontation between McGrady and Kobe, a pair of top swingmen, will attract attention no matter what time. In the past few seasons, the two, as hot new stars in the league, played picturesque representative figures, dedicated to the audience. There have been many wonderful matches.

"When will we have a good rest at Christmas, sir, I haven't been home for four Christmases in a row..." Stevens was a little tired with dark circles under his eyes.

As a half-baked coach, Jim’s advantage lies in his vision of people and advanced tactical concepts. As for other basic skills of coaching, let’s not talk about it... In order not to show timidity in front of professionals, Jim has been supplementing relevant knowledge, such as tactical terms and so on. As a confidant, Stevens became the best teacher candidate.The two often huddled in the office all night long, filling the tactical book with rich details.

Of course, this is also Jim's intentional training. For the sake of his hairline and happy life, he doesn't plan to stay in this position for too long. Stevens needs to grow up quickly. As for other coaches, good coaches Can't invite, like Popovich, and some of the so-called best coaches... Jim doesn't want some mediocrity to come and lead the team to a crooked or something.

"If we can rest for Christmas, it means the Lakers brand is over, so you better hope this never happens."
