Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 30

There was once a man named K.B. His name was compared with Jordan countless times. He entered the league as a high school student with countless halos on his head and once wore a purple and gold uniform. Lost his skills, aged his face, fans will still love him, he is - Kwame Brown.

The top four picks in this year's draft are all big men, but except for the amazing Pau Gasol, the performance of the other three high school students failed to meet the expectations of the fans and the team.Speaking of Kwame Brown alone, he was trembling in Joe's team, walking on thin ice, and his performance was not even as good as his classmate Brendan Heywood.

The Wizards, aiming to hit the playoffs, only achieved a record of 5 wins and 12 losses after the start of the game. The team gathered too many players inside, but the outside substitutes were injured one after another. Christian Laettner was no longer as brave as before. Under the circumstances, the team only relied on Jordan and Hamilton to barely drag forward.

"We sent the champion wing, Jordan's old teammate, locker room leader, stable pitcher, and 3D champion Jade Buichler to replace the team's fifth center, Etan Thomas, who was reimbursed last season and was also injured every now and then this season. Of course, the Wizards will agree. But Mitch, we have to act as soon as possible. Now the Wizards will think that Brown can save it. If it is too late, it may be too late. In addition, you have to go to Miami on the way and help me bring back another people."

After hanging up Kupchak's phone, Jim casually scattered the form in his hand on the table.

"Next year's Nuggets pick, Cavaliers pick, um... are all second rounds, plus my own end of the first round and the end of the second round, I can add 4 players at once, which is enough."

At this time, the phone rang again, and it was Stevens.

"Good morning, Brad... what? Tell them to come to my office right away... No, I'm going to the training hall right now, and tell everyone not to leave!"

Jim dropped the half-eaten hamburger, grabbed a glass of Coke, and rushed out of the office without his coat on.

According to Stevens, in the morning training, there was a fight between Anthony Mason and Stephen Jackson. The situation has subsided now, and the head coach Zen Master hopes to discuss the punishment plan for the two with the management.

Jim who rushed to the training hall quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

In the group confrontation, Stephen Jackson was in a hot state, scoring points on Mason's head in a row, and at the same time, he was not idle, talking non-stop.

Veteran Mason couldn't hold back his face. When Jackson broke through for a layup, a tackle grabbed Jackson from the air.

Ordinary newcomers, facing the so-called "New York Killer King" Mason, would probably be discouraged. They should restrain themselves. After all, they can't look up and look down, but Jackson is not among them.The young Martial Saint stood up straight from the ground with a carp, and swung his fist that swept Auburn Palace towards Mason.

As one of the core members of the New York gangsters, Mason, who once singled out Karl Malone without losing the wind, did not expect this young man to do what he said, and fell behind after a moment of hesitation. The two got entangled, and his teammates hurried Rushing up to try to persuade them to fight, O'Neill and Wallace held them back from behind. Richmond and Marley stood in the middle to calm the situation. Young Okur stood in front of Mason, and Arenas and Bryant pushed Jackson in the other direction.

Hearing this, Jim is a little thankful that he has O'Neal and Wallace in his team, otherwise it would be really difficult to stop Mason and Jackson's peak duel with other people alone.

After a brief discussion with the Zen master, Jim called everyone together.

"Everyone present, I don't want this matter to be used by any media to talk about it. If anyone leaks this matter, I will immediately ask him to leave the Lakers. Anthony, Stephen, you two come with me, Phil, you can continue the training session."

Without saying a word, the two followed Jim out of the arena.

The destination was not Jim's office. The three of them, one in front and two behind, came to a fighting room without a word. Sandbags, gloves, boxing rings, protective gear, etc. were all available, and there were even two wooden dummy posts.

Jim waited for the two to enter the house, then locked the door from the inside.

"Mr. Jackson, Mr. Mason, before I announce the punishment decision, do you have anything else to explain about what happened today?"

Both of them were arrogant masters. Mason shook his legs and tilted his head to stare at a pair of boxing gloves in the corner, while Jackson pursed his lips and looked at the ceiling.

"It seems that you have nothing to say, well, now it's up to me. I risked being punished by the league in the off-season and recruited you to the team. I believe you can become important members of the Lakers dynasty. Together Defeat the enemy, share the glory, enjoy the cheers and victory. But now, you have to use your actions to prove that my choice half a year ago was a ridiculous mistake? In my understanding, Anthony Mason hates failure, and he can do it for Victory to do everything, in my understanding, Stephen Jackson will always be the most solid support for his teammates, he can help his friends go through fire and water. But you are going to use your fists to severely correct my perception?"

Jim paced back and forth in the room, his tone gradually becoming more and more intense, Jackson's gaze moved from the ceiling to the floor, and Mason's trembling left leg also returned to silence.

"I know you didn't have a good fight just now, so I brought you here - the place where Karim practiced Jeet Kune Do, there will be no other people disturbing here, you can decide the outcome as much as you want, but after today, If any of you are talking about it or tripping each other on the court, then don't blame me for being rude."

Jim picked up two pairs of boxing gloves, stuffed one in Mason's hands, and threw the other to Jackson.

Jackson didn't answer, and the glove fell to the ground.

"What's the matter Stephen, you are not a timid person, pick up the gloves and act like a man!"

"What does it mean to be like a man? I am a man..." Jackson couldn't help retorting.

Mason on the side worked hard for a long time, but finally he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Anthony Mason and Stephen Jackson missed the Lakers' games for the next week, and the official explanation given by the Lakers was tight hips.

Atop the starting small forward position is Bruce Bowen.Although Mason's coping ability is not there, Bowen's corner three-pointers and perimeter defense are still quite reliable. Zen Master changed to the routine of last season, and Bowen is barely competent in playing the role of Rick Fox.

Fortunately, the next schedule is relatively easy. The Lakers slaughtered the Clippers, Warriors and Rockets in a row, and reversed the Grizzlies in the away game. The record came to 21 wins and 1 loss, which is the best in the league.

It is worth mentioning that on the day before Christmas, the Lakers announced that they would trade Jade Buichler for Ethan Thomas of the Wizards, and at the same time sign guard Mike James, who was previously given up by the Heat, with a basic salary. , Refilled the team roster with 15 players.

　The combination of Zhan Ke is invincible in the world.
