In fact, it cannot be said that the Zijin Army is bullying honest people.

In the last game, they originally planned to play seriously. After all, Minnesota has no need for the playoffs. If they are really one game away from making the playoffs, the merciful Los Angeles Senate is still willing to be a good person.

And the reason why this game was so chaotic was because Stephen Jackson came to Los Angeles.

This Baron Davis, Ron Artest's big brother, nba martial arts saint and nba's number one blue pill supplier was finally fired by San Antonio a week ago for being in the horse camp and the heart is in the lake.

What made him feel depressed was that the Spurs cut him to make room for Tracy McGrady, which made Wu Sheng very unacceptable: I am not as good as Tracy McGrady now? ?

So, he came to Los Angeles and had drinks with two old friends.

After all, when he was in the Pacers back then, Master Wu Sheng helped little Artest out in the Palace of Auburn Hills. When he was in the Golden State Warriors, Wu Sheng often wore a beard and was happy everywhere. In terms of seniority, these two guys are younger brothers.

However, to Los Angeles. The two younger brothers refused to drink with him, saying that it was the season and the playoffs were coming soon, they had to observe discipline and have a sense of collective honor, otherwise they would be dnp.

Jackson suddenly became angry: You two are still afraid of this?

At that time, little Artest was anxious: It's not a question of fear, it's respect. Brother, we used to commit crimes in a gang, but now we commit crimes in a team. You have to distinguish the difference, we are disciplined people.

To tell you the truth, although we now have a leader in the Lakers, my young Artest's words are still effective. Although we are highly democratic and centralized internally, we are extremely united externally. If you want to join the Lakers, I can give You go and talk.

Little Artest slapped his chest loudly.

The bearded man was also beside him: Brother, it's not a solution for you to wander outside like this. You don't have a championship ring with you in your life, and you will be worried when you walk in the middle of the night.

This made the old martial artist move his mind.

He used to hear these two younger brothers brag about the internal atmosphere of the Lakers every day, and he was very itchy. He also wanted to join this kind of old brother party and get a championship ring by the way. It doesn't matter if you have money or not, as long as you are happy.

then,

He entrusted Little Artest to speak.

But Little Artest said: This has to be done slowly. Anyway, this season will definitely not be able to register you. Let's go around and make side attacks. In the next game, I will play a carry performance, and then sublimate the theme of this old player. Push you in. The little duke and the black mamba will agree on the spot when they see that my little Artest is so brave, brother, needless to say!

Stephen Jackson nodded, it makes sense.

...

So, little Artest hugged the Duke's thigh tightly the next morning. The cowhide has already been blown out, and to put it bluntly, there is also a right to fire for fun.

At first, Duge still disagreed: Little Artest, what's the situation with you now, you run like an emperor penguin, and you still want to have unlimited fire rights? This is not a trouble!

But when little Artest brought out his wife's Almighty card: If I don't score 30 points in this game, I'm afraid my wife will come home and beat me! My son is going to high school soon, I don't want to leave a cowardly image in front of my son.

All right!

Having said all that, what else can Snoopy say.

He greeted Kobe and Nash, and everyone agreed: Although they have not experienced domestic violence by their wives, they are married people after all, and they also understand the power of tigress.

So, it's settled.

When the coaches meeting before the game, it was determined that Artest was the core of this game. The bearded man's eyes were straight, he didn't expect that little Artest would actually blow up this piece of cowhide.

I have to obey Xiao Artai's ability to bend and stretch!

...

That night, Little Artest really got the right to fire wirelessly.

But Stephen Jackson, who was sitting in the front row of the auditorium, looked very cool. Little Artest really dared to fight and rush, like a bull. However, the hit rate was appalling.

10 for 32 shots.

Without him, the Lakers really can't lose to the Timberwolves.

However, the Lakers never replaced him because of his black iron. Moreover, the fans at the scene did not boo him, and even after the game, everyone went home happily.

This shows at least three things.

First: The mentality of the fans in big cities is really good, and the quality is really high.

Second: The internal atmosphere of the Lakers is very good, and the tolerance is super high.

Third: Xiao Artest's business ability is really bad, at least he can't be used as the core to fight.

And, from these three things, new arguments can be derived: The Lakers are indeed a good team, and there is no better place for veteran players to go than this. However, if he finds Artest Jr. as a lobbyist, most of the joining of the Lakers will be yellow. Not convincing!

Therefore, he took the initiative to find Snoopy after the game.

Although Brother Wu Sheng has been in the nba for more than ten years, he seems to be like I can't bend down because of my life.

But when he saw Duge, he still nodded and bent down, and held the Duke's hand. He said a long paragraph, such as how he appreciates him, and he has been very optimistic about him since 2008. He even pointed out that when Artest got into trouble with Snoopy, he took the initiative to call him to reprimand him.

After this long story, Duge couldn't help but tell him: get to the point.

The point is, I want to join the Lakers. I want to play under your hands...

He hadn't finished speaking, and when he was still organizing more humble words in his head, the Duke had already agreed: Okay. We really lack a striker like you who has experience, defense, and three-point ability. But, Ben The registration time for the season has passed. You can contact Kupchak first, and if he has no objections, you can even come to our training in advance and integrate into the team's tactics in advance.

Anyway, next season, Ron Artest's contract expires. With his 8 million annual salary, the team can sign many players.

The Duke's last words stunned the elated brother Wu Sheng. He is a man of loyalty, and he said quickly: So, you plan to replace Ron with me?

No. I mean, he will definitely have a salary cut next season. If you can negotiate a contract with Kupchak, our player team wholeheartedly welcomes it.

Doug's attitude gave Jackson a reassurance.

Isn't it just money.

Brother Wu Sheng has played in the NBA for so many years, and he has received an annual salary of tens of millions for many years. When he is old, he really does not lack these.

So he immediately became elated, and then hurried Artest to find the general manager of the Lakers.

At the beginning, Kupchak still looked businesslike, saying that if you want to join the Lakers, you have to line up. After all, there are many old players who want to come to catch the enthusiasm of the Zijin Army.

However, when Jackson brought up Snoopy's name, he said he wholeheartedly welcomes him to join the Lakers.

Kupchak quickly changed his countenance, with a gesture of Brother Wu Sheng, please, the little secretary hurriedly make coffee, the kind that needs to be ground by hand.

Although Kupchak looked arrogant and arrogant to others, when he mentioned Duke Snoopy, he immediately became respectful.

After being the general manager for so many years, although he has done a few good deals. But to talk about the sense of accomplishment, it has to be this season. If the Duke is not traded, how can it be possible to sign big babies like Whiteside and Milicic with a basic salary? How can it be possible to recruit experienced veteran players like Jamison and Davis with a basic salary?

He now has 100% unconditional trust in Snoopy's vision.

So, when he heard that Jackson was the object of Snoopy's approval, he immediately changed his posture.

Negotiations went well. Jackson agreed to sign a one-year contract next season with an annual salary of 1.2 million US dollars, and Artest, who followed closely, also chatted about contract renewal. Kupchak definitely can't give him a high price now, and he also told Artest: Are you embarrassed to ask for a high price? You missed so many shots in this game. Moreover, Snoopy now has 30% of the equity in this team. Do you have the heart to make Snoopy lose money?

Must not bear.

Ron agreed to a two-year, $3.5 million contract with almost no suspense.

To be honest, with these two contracts, neither of them lost money.

The market is like this. Although other teams can pay a slightly higher price for these retired players, but... there is no chance to win the championship, and it is impossible to play as happily as the Lakers.

...

With the end of the last regular season game, the East and West playoff rankings are officially released.

The rankings of the Western Conference teams are: San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors.

On the east side are: Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks.

The Lakers' first-round opponent is locked in the Denver Nuggets.

Interestingly, the Denver Nuggets won three of the four regular-season matchups between the Lakers and the Nuggets.

However, in the predictions of major websites, no one thinks that the Denver Nuggets can go through six games under the Lakers. The most optimistic thing is that the Nuggets guard two home games.

In fact, the Denver people also played the momentum that the underdogs will win.

From the self-coach George Karl down, everyone has an attitude of the Lakers are very strong, the Lakers are nuclear weapons, but we must strive for the top.

In fact, the Nuggets played very well this season, although there are no superstars in charge after Anthony was traded.

However, they played a situation of brainstorming and teamwork.

The Nuggets, headed by running and jumping forwards such as Ty Lawson, Iguodala, Chandler, McGee, Anthony Randolph, Gallinari, Faried, etc., played the momentum of the Denver Athletics very strongly.

Whether it is defense or offense, they have achieved a perfect combination.

The Denver Nuggets are not that easy to play!

Therefore, at the Lakers' pre-game meeting, the Black Mamba frowned and sighed while sipping wolfberry water.

Yeah. Steve Nash also looked sad.

Doug didn't speak at all.

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely dull.

At this time, Bass Jr. came out to liven up the atmosphere: Everyone, don't be anxious. Don't set the goal so high at once. Even if you can't sweep it, it is acceptable to make a 41. You can sell more tickets, right? ?”

Yes, yes! We fully understand the eagerness of the leaders to win, but we must also take into account the sentiments of the people in the Colorado Plateau. Don't destroy the friendship between the people of the two regions. Kupchak also hurried chime in.

At this time, Snoopy, as the commander of this series of exhibitions, stood up and spoke: We try our best to strive for a sweep, but if we can't sweep, Mr. Bryant, please don't put too much negative emotion. After all, we also have to respect Opponent, isn't it?

Also, regarding the recent dispute between you and Shaquille O'Neal, we can also understand your feelings very well, and at the same time thank you for your trust in our current Lakers team. However, these are old things, so don't put them in My heart is broken.

Doug persuaded Bryant, who demanded the most sweeping.

The reason why Kobe has such a big resentment for sweeping his opponents is because he and O'Neal got into a fight again.

O'Neal has nothing to do recently, and he has started to catch up with the Lakers again. He emphasized in the tnt program: The Purple and Gold Army in 2001 is the strongest team in the history of the Lakers. Stronger than any Lakers team, a hundred times stronger than this year's Lakers team. Although this team also has Kobe, but there is no O'Neal!

And he put forward an argument: In 2001, the purple and gold team went all the way, sweeping the Portland Trail Blazers (3 to 0), the Sacramento Kings (4 to 0) and the San Antonio Spurs (4 to 0), if it weren't for Iverson In the first finals, the gods descended to earth, we will definitely win the championship with a 150 sweep!

Logically speaking, O'Neill did not say anything wrong.

If he doesn't, let's take out the last sentence, saying that the Lakers team is a hundred times stronger than the current Lakers because this team does not have O'Neal. Bryant is not angry at all, nor does he fight back on Twitter.

'Does Shacklebolt think he's bigger than Snoopy? He is nothing more than a third-rate commentator who sleeps on the credits of the past! '

After he sent this tweet, he told all the players in the group: The Nuggets must be swept in the first round of the playoffs!

To be honest, beating the Nuggets is definitely not a problem.

But sweep.

This is difficult. After all, the Nuggets are not cats and dogs. They also defeated the Lakers three times in the regular season.

It will be swept as soon as it comes up, and the pressure on the coaching staff is also huge.

No, just sweep! If there is no way, create a way, and if there is no way out, break the way out. Kobe Bryant, the last thing I want to hear in my life is O'Neal's trash talk.

Kobe Bryant dropped this sentence stiffly, then turned and left.

He looked like an unreasonable little wife who lost her temper.

Snoopy suddenly felt dizzy.

What he worries about is that he really swept the Nuggets. O'Neal will light the fire again at that time, Kobe can't ask the team to sweep the Thunder? Then sweep the Spurs?

Isn't this a fairy tale!
