Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 298 Dragon Slayer Brave

The home team scored more than [-] points, and the visiting team was restricted from scoring less than [-] points. With such a victory, the entire audience got a free taco. It can be said that everyone was happy.

"Merry Christmas, Craig, I have been looking forward to when you will come to interview me." After the game, Jim received an interview invitation from TNT, this time the reporter was the famous Craig Sager.

"I interviewed you before, don't you remember? I thought my personal characteristics were distinct enough? It seems that I still haven't been able to impress you." Saige was wearing his signature aggressive suit, which The second is Santa's red background and white flower color scheme, which is quite dazzling.

"But I wasn't a coach at the time...God! Kevin, don't just pop out like this! I have a bad heart!"

Garnett, who likes to be funny, appeared in front of the camera with two tacos, and gave each of them a share, stealing the spotlight strongly.

"Where did you just say?"

"Can you tell me the key points of your victory? Although this question is nothing new, we have to ask... This is my job." Saeg clamped the small notebook used for the interview under his elbow, and continued Past the tacos.

"There are two main points, first the offense and then the defense."

Sager waited for two seconds, but Jim had no intention of continuing.

"This is the end?"

"Of course, you can't ask me to tell you all the tactical details. I can guarantee that the head coaches of 20 teams are holding a small book and preparing to learn secretly... Just kidding, the first is defense, our players Great communication, collaboration and trust. Some of the players have been together for several seasons and they have a good understanding, while others have just joined the team recently. I would like to thank my assistant Jeff Bzdelik, in just two months, he has made our defensive system take shape, and the execution ability of new players is also improving. We cannot guarantee that every player on the court is an elite defender, But any player who plays must understand the importance of positioning and cooperation with teammates, so as not to become a loophole. As for the offensive end, we have many players who are good at scoring, and scoring points is not difficult for them. And me, as the head coach of the team, I have the easiest job, just sit on the bench and applaud them. Fortunately, I am not fired right now." Jim finished, took a bite of the taco, and then With an awkward yet polite smile, Sager took out the handkerchief from the other party's breast pocket, wiped his mouth as a gesture, then rolled up the handkerchief and stuffed it back.

"Thanks Mr. Bass for sharing! Thanks for the tacos too!"

If there is no snow, Christmas always feels a little lacking, but in Los Angeles, at the end of December, the temperature is still above 12 degrees, and it will rain at most.

However, the schedule made up for the regrets of the Lakers players. After spending a one-day Christmas holiday, they immediately packed their bags and went to Toronto to experience the legendary snowy Christmas.

Today's Raptors, the situation is as windy and snowy as the weather in Toronto. Carter announced an indefinite suspension on the grounds that the injury has not recovered, forcing the team to trade him as soon as possible.

But other teams took advantage of the situation and offered Carter lower and lower day by day. Of course, the Raptors were unwilling to suffer this dumb loss. While trying to communicate with Carter, they were looking for a sincere buyer and trying to stop losses.

Now the Raptors are led by streetball king Ralph Alston, with Maurice Peterson and Jaylen Rose as the main output, and Milicic and Brazilian Rafael Aruyo are two of them. Potential rookies may be the worst insider in the league.

Milicic has not played out people's expectations for him for a long time, and he is only a qualified starter with 10 points and 8 rebounds. That is to say, he averaged about 2 blocks per game, which is a bit brighter, but his uncontrollable number of fouls has become his biggest. As for the No. 8 rookie this year, Aruyu... He once participated in the famous Pete Newell's long-term training camp, and he was compared with Shaquille O'Neal. The worst No. [-] candidate in history.

The players were stranded at the airport for three hours because of the heavy snow before they came to the hotel. They vented all their grievances on the poor Raptors, especially Kobe. Seeing Jaylen Rose was really an enemy. With red eyes, he entered a frenzied state in the first quarter, breaking through dunks, shooting mid-range shots with an emergency stop, stealing fast breaks, and hitting three-pointers. He beat the opposing Maurice Peterson dizzily. Numb.

"Boss Ke, it was Ross who backed you up, what do you mean by always grabbing me!"

Kobe scored 15 points in a single quarter and led the Lakers to a 35-22 start.

Raptors coach Sam Mitchell is a famous Timberwolves star. If you look at the history of the Minnesota Timberwolves in the previous life, you can see the number of minutes played, the number of games, the number of shots, the number of shots, the number of free throws, the number of free throws, offensive rebounds, and defensive rebounds. , total rebounds, steals, fouls, and total points, the first place is Kevin Garnett, and the second place is him, Sam Mitchell.He played 757 games for Minnesota, scored 7161 points, and retired in 2002 at the age of 38.His achievements are all made by his own hard work. Of course, as a coach, he also believes in rigor and seriousness. What can best reflect this is his substitutions. His daily rotation of players, substitution time and each The player's playing time is as accurate as an alarm clock, and many Raptors fans are wondering whether he has German ancestry.

When the alarm clock in Mitchell's mind goes off, no matter how well the player performs on the court, he will be replaced. Whether it is a super ghost like Peterson or a super god like Alston, the only one who can get rid of Mitchell's rotation is Miley. Sic, he will receive two fouls in the first 3 minutes of the game, forcing Mitchell to replace him.As for the Raptors' tactics, starting with the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, being seen through by the opponent as the process, and finally ending with a panic shot for the wing shooter, has become a daily routine this season.

The Raptors, with internal and external troubles, once caused a little trouble for the Lakers by relying on the sudden performance of Ramond Murray and Matt Bonner in the second quarter. The two hit consecutive three-pointers and once narrowed the gap to 5 points. , but Mitchell continued to uphold his principle of substitutions, replacing the two hot-handed players on a fixed-point basis, and replaced Peterson and Aruyu again.

Kobe accepted this great gift with a smile, and scored 10 points in a row in the second half of the second quarter, re-solidifying the lead.

It is actually very simple to win 20 points, as long as you win the opponent by 5 points in each quarter. The Lakers overfulfilled the task in the first half, and played more easily in the second half. Excellent, the whole team played for him in the third quarter, and Fei Xia was unambiguous, scoring 30 points in a single quarter, almost catching up with George Gervin's scoring record in a single quarter.It also turned the fourth quarter into garbage time again.

121 to 85, the Lakers beat the Raptors away. Kobe played 30 minutes and made 26 of 19 shots, including 8 three-pointers, scoring a season-high 55 points.
