Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 395 Inheritance of the Ball Handler

The Christmas games in the past few years were all held at the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers. Whether as a sideline spectator or as the head coach, Jim is used to the bustling scene of the star-studded Staples Center.

This season, the home of the Christmas game has been moved to Miami on the east coast. This suddenly deserted atmosphere really made him a little unaccustomed.The staff had all gotten their Christmas break and gone off to celebrate the holidays, and the office was empty.

Because being alone is too boring, Jim chose to go to the home of Dr. Jerry Buss and have a family reunion.

Dr. Jerry Buss's house was not as bleak as Jim's house.

Magic Johnson, who lives nearby, also brought his 12-year-old son EJ Johnson to Dr. Bath's house as a guest.

Seeing EJ Johnson, Jim couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Although EJ sauce is not full of energy every day, Jim, who is preconceived, always feels a little uncomfortable.

"It's unbelievable that you didn't take this opportunity to go to Miami to relax. The nightclubs there are really good... I really miss the days when I was still playing!" The magician winked and joked when he saw Jim coming in, showing A mouthful of white teeth.

"How long did you play? What kind of ball did you play?" Jim secretly slandered the magician, who deserved to be the number one point guard in history. His superb ball-handling skills did not come out of thin air, but a peerless stunt that he had practiced through hundreds of battles. .

As the star of the Lakers back then, Magic Johnson was a well-known playboy in the league. There were countless flesh and blood who wanted to get close to him, and the Magician never refused to come. Other strange places receive photos of female fans with room numbers and contact information written on them, and our magician will choose one or several of them after the game to start his second half.

Compared with Chamberlain's 2 beheads, Magic Johnson is relatively low-key. According to him, before he was forced to retire, only about 2500 people had in-depth exchanges with him.In hotel lobbies, elevators, locker rooms, or whatever, magicians never care about the battlefield.

According to the magician, everyone wants to be Mrs. Johnson, but he never eats overnight grass, and later on is his life creed.Although many female fans do not believe in evil, in the end the magician used practical actions to prove his untouchable style of acting.

In that era of gunfire, real men never wear raincoats, and Magic Johnson is no exception, but a sage once said: "How can a person not be knifed when he is floating in the rivers and lakes."

In the end, unfortunately, he got the trick, and he didn't even know when and how he got the trick.He had to retire at the age of 31 at his peak. That season, he led the Lakers to the finals, averaging 19.4 points, 12.5 assists and 7 rebounds per game.

Many people think that if he can release the energy used in certain places on the court, maybe when Michael Jordan becomes No.1 in the league, there will be more debates.

His tragic ending made the little fan Mark Jackson feel that the sky was falling apart.

"I can't let myself concentrate on the game. I don't know how long his life will last. You know the reason. In my cognition, the disease basically announced the countdown of his life. ..."

On the night Magic Johnson announced to the world that he was HIV positive, Mark Jackson, who averaged 14.4 points and 8.8 assists this season, had just 4 points, 6 assists and 4 turnovers against the Orlando Magic. .

"I didn't know what I was doing at all. I even thought the opposing team was the Los Angeles Lakers." After the game, Mark Jackson burst into tears in an interview.A long time later, when he talked about this incident, he thought it was the only night he was at a loss in his long career.

The lesson learned by the magician has made many latecomers know the importance of self-protection. For example, Rodman, when he chooses a partner, he will filter it, and it is safer to use small movie actors, well-known singers or the daughter of the team owner. target to start.

"To be honest, I haven't known you for a few years, and I don't go to bet on horses or go to Las Vegas. I spend about 20 hours a day in the office. I remember that you were very young when you were young. like……"

"What do you like? In front of children, you can't talk about these things! You will spoil him!" Jim feigned anger.

"That's not what your father said to me back then. He personally took me to Las Vegas to play cards. I have to say that in Stud, his level is unrivaled. It is difficult for me to beat him in a formal duel. , so I prefer to do what I am good at..."

"What are you talking about behind my back? I'm not deaf yet!" Dr. Bass came over and interrupted their furtive conversation.

The Christmas battle between the Lakers and the Heat was on the big screen, and Odom, as the core of the Lakers, played the second quarter.

Odom's gorgeous playing style is also very popular in Miami, but he was booed by Heat fans when he appeared in the American Airlines Arena as a member of the Lakers.

The Heat attacked and Nene attacked the basket, but under the interference of Haslem, he failed to make a hit. Kendrick Perkins and Mourning got stuck in the backcourt rebound and passed it to Odom. .

The ball was passed carelessly, slow and forward. James Posey, with his keen sense of defense, swooped forward and tried to steal the pass, but Odom caught the ball quickly and made a gorgeous turn. , turned Posey behind him, and advanced with the ball at high speed.

Posey's gambling steal failed, and Odom was flat in front of him.

The Heat's defensive discipline is still very good. Damon Jones immediately came up to delay, but facing a small guard, Odom still chose to believe in his ball-handling skills. After consecutive IN-OUT changes, the ball passed With the right hand, looking at Ariza in the right corner, he threw the ball from behind with his right hand to Steve Blake in the left corner, and at the same time put his left hand next to his ear, making a concave ear to listen.

Steve Blake took a wide open shot from the bottom corner where he was good at, and hit a three-pointer steadily. He seemed to hear the sound of the basketball brushing the net. Odom put down his left hand and returned to defense with confidence.

"Hahahaha! I like this guy!" Magic Johnson laughed heartily when he saw this scene, as if thinking of himself back then.

Jim sighed. Not only is Odom nicknamed a left-handed magician, but even his unrestrained style off the court has perfectly inherited his template.Thinking about later generations, when Odom released himself in the Love Ranch and almost died, Jim felt that it was necessary for him to save the child early.
