Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 307

Before the away game against the Golden State Warriors, Lakers coach Jim Buss, who missed many games due to illness, finally announced his comeback.

Assistant coach Brad Stevens ended his first coaching experience with a record of 4 wins and 3 losses.

Under the leadership of the little-known head coach Mike Montgomery, the Warriors have a messy record, second only to the Hornets and Bobcats, tied with the Eagles for third-worst in the league, with Jason Richardson, Mike Dunleavy Jr. and With Troy Murphy as the core lineup, the statistics are soaring, the defensive quality is impressive, and they often play big games and then lose.

Just blocked James and his Cavaliers, the Lakers are in high spirits, even if it is an away game, but they did not leave California, the impact is not big.

The center of the Warriors is the rookie with the 11th pick this year. Latvian center Andris Biedrins, in Jim's impression, apart from his fighting spirit, the most talked about free throw is the free throw. The Latvian once Contributed to a season in which the free throw percentage was less than 20%, any big Ben Sharks have to stand aside.

Of course, Biedrins, who is not yet 19 years old, is just a child, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

The game against the Warriors was turned into a practice match by the Lakers. The Warriors didn't have any defensive qualities at all. The most Mike Montgomery did was to open his hands and yell, but no one took his command to heart. .

For the Warriors, Montgomery is just a transitional candidate, and there are rumors that the management has contacted the former meritorious coach Don Nelson.Although the old Nelson was coaching the Mavericks, his philosophy and the team had diverged. The Mavericks management ignored the old Nelson's opposition and let Nash go, which made the old coach very dissatisfied.

Back in the game, Jim sat on the sidelines, chatting and laughing with the main players who were replaced with ease. The fourth quarter of the game had been turned into garbage time. Battier, Varejao, Duntai Jones and Korver On the court, together with Nene, who has just come back and is looking for status on the court.

"It seems that the suspense is not a good thing to end the game too early. After this game, you two will have a distance from the individual champion." The fans of the home team have already started to leave, and there are many fans wearing Lakers uniforms left in the stands .

科比出场25分钟，8投7中，4罚全中得到19分，加内特出场22分钟，7投5中得到10分9篮板。

On the scoring list, Iverson, who carried the flag alone for the 76ers, averaged 40 shots per game with a shooting rate of just over 25%, and averaged 31.3 points per game. He has gradually thrown off Kobe and dominated the scoring list. , Thanks to Van Gundy's low-tempo basketball, the number of shots, field goal percentage and scoring have all reached the lowest point in the past five years.

"Nene dunks like a beast out of the cage again! Biedrins is not his opponent at all. This is undoubtedly a foul, but it didn't stop Nene from scoring two points... Yes, Biedrins has already Six fouls! His performance in this game is really bad, 3 points, 5 rebounds, and only 6 of 1 free throws. Does he really have the ability to gain a foothold in the NBA? Nene made a free throw... The Warriors opened the baseline , Claxton drove straight in with the ball, facing Varejao's layup...Missed! The Lakers grabbed the defensive rebound, stopped playing, the game is over!"

106 to 92, the Lakers defeated the Warriors who had been reduced to a belly without blood, and Jim welcomed his first victory in his comeback.

"Being able to sit on the sidelines is a lot more comfortable than lying in the hospital. I've had such a warm welcome from the players and the spectators. You know, when you have a lot of ideas and you can't make them happen, that's a painful feeling. Yes. The guys obviously wanted to make my 'comeback debut' as good as possible, they played the basketball I wanted, they were enjoying the game." After the game, Jim was interviewed.

After seeing off the reporters, a little boy suddenly rushed into the arena with an autograph book in his hand, and he found Jim.

"Do I have a little fanboy too?" Jim looked at the kid, who looked about seven or eight years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing Kobe's No. 8 jersey, and a camera hanging around his neck.

"Sir, sir! Can you do me a favor?" The boy was a little nervous.

"Do you want me to sign it? No problem." Jim smiled and took the signature pad and fountain pen, but hesitated for a while which name to sign.

"Sir! Wait a minute!"

"Huh? Do you want me to write a paragraph? That's fine. What do you want to write?"

"I really like Kobe Bryant, but he doesn't go to Missouri every year. My mother took me to California for a New Year's trip. It was hard to see Kobe's game. I didn't have time to ask him for an autograph. Brother Bian said let me come to you for help." The child pointed to Stevens, who showed a bewildered smile.

Jim's heart was racing, and he gave Stevens a hard look.

Facing the innocent and harmless little boy, Jim could only show an embarrassed yet polite smile.

"Okay, come with me, whoever's autograph you want is fine." Jim led the child through the aisle and returned to the visiting team's locker room.

The child got the autograph and photo of Kobe Bryant he wanted as he wished, and a Lakers No. 8 away jersey was an unexpected major gain for him!Of course, other Lakers players also gave some gifts, such as Garnett's original wristbands, Artest's rap album, and Jim's tactical board...

"Thank you! Sir! I will become a basketball player like Kobe in the future!" Holding a big bag of things, the child who returned with a full load expressed his thanks to Jim.

"Hahaha! Your luck is great. If the Lakers lose today, you may not get anything... When you enter the NBA, welcome to the Lakers to take over his class! By the way, what's your name? "Jim always felt that this kid looked familiar.

"My name is Jayson Tatum."

Well, all encounters in this world are reunions after a long absence, and Tatum and Stevens are really destined.

Jim decided not to think about things more than ten years later. Anyway, there is a Billy King there, and it is still safe to fool a few draft picks.

The next opponent is the Utah Jazz, who is not doing well recently. Although they have a wing with outstanding defensive ability, the Jazz's offensive ability is too urgent. From Ostertag on the inside to Derek Fisher on the outside, there is no A reliable scoring point. Both Gerald Wallace and Kirilenko are models of stronger defense than offense. Stratag, the space is extremely crowded.

Against the Pyrenees, Garnett had a lot of experience, using flexibility and shooting range to play around Ostertag, scoring 36 points and 14 rebounds, helping the team win three consecutive victories 112 to 101. 101 points is already a rare high score for the Jazz this season.
