Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 96 Side Effects of Transactions
In the era without Facebook and Instagram, if ordinary fans want to know the mood of players or coaches, they can only confide their hearts to the media through themselves.

Although a few days have passed since the transaction, Stephen Jackson has completed his debut in the Magic and contributed 15 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, but he still cannot forgive the ruthless Lakers management. , He frantically bombarded the lake management team headed by Jim.

"The day before, they were celebrating with us. We beat the Mavericks. I played well. At that time, everyone thought that my position on the team was secure. Dan and I both thought it was time to ask them for a renewal. But Jim Bass is a liar, he tore up the trust between us, that's not what he said when he recruited me last June..."

Keen reporters quickly heard the problem in Jackson's words.

"Mr. Jackson, let's confirm. You just said that Mr. Bass recruited you in June last year?"

"That's right! This son of a bitch, who kept saying that I was part of the future of the team, agreed with me on a 2+1 contract. Look now, am I only worth this little money? When I proposed my When needed, he traded me the next day without any warning. The most disgusting thing is that he often told us that we are a whole and we want to win many championships together, but in order to save money, Lian Sha Ke can trade, let alone us!" Jackson, who had slipped his mouth, no longer had any scruples, and poured all his grievances to the reporter.

"Then have you tried to contact the Lakers to get an explanation?" The reporter continued to ask.

"There's no need for that, I'm not going to say a word to that liar who tried to use those ridiculous excuses to justify his stupid decision, I don't even know what his next sentence will say, 'I'm sorry, Stephen, but I gotta think for the team.' Omg that's disgusting, do you think I'll have any contact with them after seeing what they're all about? I'll just kick them hard for the rest of the game Explode!" After speaking, the angry Jackson walked away.

The Lakers narrowly beat the Warriors 132-128 in a scoring battle. Kobe sent 14 assists in two consecutive games. It could be called the best game of the season so far, making the 7 points scored by Jamison and Jason Richardson in vain.

The team is making great strides, but Jim is devastated. His torn newspapers are everywhere in the office, and there is even a broken glass.

"Calm down, brother! This cup can't be smashed anymore! This is a limited edition of PAUL&JOE!" Laughlin was desperately trying to prevent Jim from further destroying, and the two started a suffocating offensive and defensive battle over a cup. Fortunately, Love Lin was born as a cheerleader, and his physical fitness is not bad.

"I don't care what limited edition he is, let's smash it first! Stephen Jackson is a bastard, look at what he said in front of the media, what kind of liar did I suddenly become? With Kobe, he is in the Lakers Don’t even think about being a starter for the rest of your life, I’ll pull him out of that bad team in New Jersey, otherwise he’ll almost miss the ball! Now go to the Magic to start, getting closer to his big contract, and then…”

The phone rang, and Jim put down his glass to answer it.Laughlin hurriedly grabbed the cup in his hands, ran away, and hid it in the drawer of his desk.

"I'm Jim Bass, is there something important? I'm busy now." Jim said angrily.

"Mr. Bass, hello, I am Adam Silver, the senior administrator of the NBA, and the special assistant to Mr. David Stern. I regret to inform you that because of your illegal recruitment last year, the league will Investigating you..."

Jim put the handset aside, pressed the hands-free button, and collapsed on the chair helplessly.

After finally waiting for Xiao Hua's official announcement to be read, Jim replied weakly, "Got it." Then hung up the phone.

Laughlin on the one side was almost out of breath.

"Stop laughing! If you laugh any more, I will deduct your salary to pay the fine! As an assistant to the president, you don't want to give me advice, but try to make me angry!" Jim tore a piece of paper The newspaper with the headline "Titans bombard the management, the Lakers may be fined for violating the rules?" was crumpled up and thrown at Laughlin.

Laughlin dodged the attack from the ball of paper, and said with a smile, "Then what to do, brother, in order to restore the image of the team and you, shall we hold a press conference? Shall I jump at the press conference?" A dance to liven things up, that would be great! That's it, I even thought up the background music, just use Al Pacino's famous 'One Step Away'..."

"Stop! I will never allow you to do such absurd things!" Jim interrupted Laughlin, who was getting more and more rambunctious.

"Are you going to dance in person?" Laughlin's eyes widened.

"No... I'm not going to dance. We don't need to do much to fight a player, all we have to do is win. Call Brad, I have to talk to him. Right, don't let him Come up too soon, I have to clean up the garbage." Jim gradually calmed down and began to plan remedial measures. It is not a trivial matter to be affected by such extravagant incidents that affect the morale of the team. Jim secretly regrets his decision to trade Stephen Jackson. Not too reckless.

Ten minutes later, Jim cleaned up the office, wiped off his sweat, and looked at Brad Miller standing in front of him with black lines all over his face.

"Brad, you were absent in the last game. You played well, and we need you to play like this next. If you can continue to perform well, I believe you can even compete for the best sixth man this season." Jim improvised a passage in which he praised Miller.

"Thank you for the compliment." Miller was also confused. In the last game, he had 13 points and 6 rebounds. He didn't have any advantage against Eric Dampier. His performance can only be said to be average. He was ready to accept criticism before entering the room. preparation.

After a few pleasantries, Jim asked Miller to go back to training.

"Bonnie! You know it's not this Brad I'm looking for!" Seeing Miller returning to training downstairs, Jim gritted his teeth and said angrily to Laughlin, who had succeeded in playing a prank.

There's a knock on the door and Jim pulls it open, this time it's Brad Stevens.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"
