In fact, it cannot be said that the Purple Golden Legion is bullying honest people.
They originally planned to play the final game seriously. After all, Minnesota has no playoff needs. If they are really one game short of the playoffs, they will be able to make the playoffs. The benevolent Los Angeles Senate is still willing to be this good guy.
The reason why this game was so messy was because Stephen Jackson came to Los Angeles.
The elder brother of Byron Davis and Ron Artest and the NBA martial artist and NBA’s number one blue pill supplier was finally fired by San Antonio a week ago for being’in the heart of the horse camp in the lake’.
What makes him feel depressed is that the Spurs lay off themselves to make room for Tracy McGrady, which makes Wu Sheng very unacceptable: Am I not as good as Tracy McGrady now? ?
So, he came to Los Angeles to find two old friends for a drink.
After all, in the past, the Pacers, Master Wu Sheng helped Xiao Artai in the Auburn Hills Palace. While in the Golden State Warriors, Wu Sheng often wears a big beard and is happy everywhere. In terms of seniority, these two guys are both younger brothers.
However, to Los Angeles. The two younger brothers refused to drink with him, saying that it is now during the season and the playoffs are coming soon. They must observe discipline and have a sense of collective honor, otherwise they will be dnp.
Jackson was angry at once: Are you two still afraid of this?
At that time, Little Artai was anxious: “This is not a question of whether you are afraid or not, it is respect. Brother, we used to commit crimes by gangs, but now we commit crimes by teams. You have to make the difference clearly. We are disciplined people.”
“Let’s tell you, although we have leaders on the Lakers, my little Artest’s words are still useful. Although we say that we are highly democratic internally, but external extremes are united. If you want to join the Lakers, I can give Go and talk.”
Little Artest slapped his chest loudly.
The bearded man also shook his head next to him: “Brother, it’s no way for you to wander outside like this. You don’t have a championship ring to accompany you in your entire life, and you walk with fear in the second half of the night.”
This made the old Martial Saint moved his mind.
I used to hear these two brothers brag about the internal atmosphere of the Lakers every day, saying that his heart is itchy, he also wants to join this kind of old brother party, by the way, get a championship ring. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, you just need to be happy.
So, he entrusted Xiao Artai to speak.
But Little Artest said: “This has to be done slowly. Anyway, this season I will definitely not be able to register for you. We will take a wave of side attacks. In the next game, I will play the carry performance, and then sublimate the theme of this old player. Push you in. The little duke and Hei Mamba saw that my little Artest was so brave, brother, you still need to say, they will agree on the spot!”
Stephen Jackson nodded, there was some truth in it.
…
Therefore, Little Artest hugged the Duke’s thigh tightly the next morning. The cowhide has already been blown out, and it’s a matter of life and death, and I have to have the right to fire for fun.
At the beginning, Doug still disagreed a little: What’s your current situation, Little Artest, running like an emperor penguin, and wanting unlimited power to fire? Isn’t this a trouble!
But when Little Artai moved out of his wife’s omnipotent **** card: I won’t score 30 points in this game, I’m afraid my wife will go home and beat me! My son is going to high school soon, and I don’t want to leave a cowardly image in front of him.
Ok!
With all that said, 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 understand the power of tigress.
So, it was settled.
When the coaching meeting before the game, it was determined that the game was centered on Artest. The eyes of the bearded man were straight. He didn’t expect Little Artest to actually blow up this piece of cowhide.
I have to obey Little Artai’s ability to bend and stretch!
…
That night, Little Artai really got the right to fire wirelessly.
But Stephen Jackson, who was sitting in the front row of the auditorium, looked at him. Little Artest is indeed daring to fight and rush, and he is like a bull. However, the hit rate is terrible.
10 of 32 shots.
Without him, the Lakers can’t really lose the Timberwolves.
However, the Lakers never replaced him because of his fight. 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 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 Artai’s business ability is really bad, at least it can’t be used as the core.
And, from these three things, new arguments can be derived: The Lakers are indeed a good team, and for old players, there is no better place to go. However, if you find Artest as a lobbyist, you will probably want to join the Lakers. It’s unconvincing!
Therefore, he took the initiative to find Snoopy after the game.
Although Wu Sheng’s brother has been in NBA for more than ten years, he seems to be “I can’t learn to bend down”.
But when he saw Doug, he didn’t forget to nod and bend over, and held the Duke’s hand. He said a long time, such as how he admired him, since 2008 he has been very optimistic about him and the like. He even suggested that when Little Artest had an awkward relationship with Snoopy, he took the initiative to call him to reprimand him.
After this long story, Du Ge couldn’t help telling him: talk about the main point.
“The point is, I want to join the Lakers. I want to play under your hands…”
He hadn’t finished saying this, and when he was still organizing more humble words in his head, the Duke had already agreed: “Okay. We really lack a forward like you with 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 opinion, you can even come to our side for training in advance and integrate into the team’s tactics in advance.”
“Anyway, next season, Ron Artest’s contract expires. To free up his 8 million annual salary, the team can sign a lot of players.”
The duke’s next sentence made the energetic brother Wu Sheng a little stunned. He is a man of loyalty, and he quickly said: “So, you plan to replace Ron with me?”
“No. I mean, he will definitely have to cut his salary next season. If you can talk to Kupchak about the contract, our player team is wholeheartedly welcome.”
Duger’s attitude gave Jackson a reassurance.
Isn’t it just money?
Brother Wu Sheng has played the NBA for so many years, and he has received tens of millions of annual salaries for many years.
So he immediately became happy, and then quickly took Artest to the Lakers general manager.
In the beginning, Kupchak was still doing business, saying that if you want to join the Lakers, you have to line up. After all, there are now many old players who want to come to see the popularity of the Zijin Army.
However, when Jackson proposed Snoopy’s name, he said he wholeheartedly welcomes himself to join the Lakers.
Kupchak quickly changed his face and assumed a posture of “Brother Wu Sheng, please, the little secretary quickly makes coffee, he wants to grind by hand.”
Although Kupchak looked up and down to others, he immediately became respectful when he mentioned Duke Snoopy.
I have been the general manager for so many years, although I have done a few good deals. But in terms of accomplishment, it has to be this season. If the Duke is not traded, how can it be possible to sign a big baby like Whiteside and Milicic with a basic salary? How can it be possible to **** over experienced players like Jamison and Davis with a basic salary?
He now trusts Snoopy’s vision 100% unconditionally.
So, when he heard that Jackson was the object of Snoopy’s approval, he immediately changed his posture.
The negotiations went well. Jackson promised to sign a contract with an annual salary of 1.2 million US dollars next season, and Artest, who followed closely, also talked about the renewal issue by the way. Kupchak must be unable to give him a high price now, and he also told Little Artest: Are you embarrassed to ask for a high price? You missed so many shots in this game. Moreover, now this team Snoopy has a total of 30% equity, do you have the heart to make Snoopy lose money?
Must not bear it.
Ron almost agreed to a two-year contract of 3.5 million U.S. dollars without any suspense.
To be honest, neither of them suffered a loss on these two contracts.
The market is just such a market. Although these retired players can offer a slightly higher price to other teams, they have no chance to win a championship, and it is impossible to play as happy as the Lakers.
…
With the last regular season played, the playoff rankings of the East and West Divisions are officially released.
The rankings of the Western Army are: San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, and Golden State Warriors.
On the eastern side are: Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks.
The Lakers’ first-round opponent locked in the Denver Nuggets.
Interestingly, the Lakers and the Nuggets had four duels in the regular season, and the Denver Nuggets won three of them.
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 is that the Nuggets guard the two home games.
In fact, the Denver people have also played the momentum of mourning.
Below self-directed coach George Carr, everyone is in a posture of’the Lakers are very strong, the Lakers are nuclear weapons, but we must strive for the top.
In fact, this season’s Nuggets actually played very well, although there are no superstars after the trade of Anthony.
However, they played a state of teamwork.
The Nuggets, led by running and jumping forwards such as Ty Lawson, Iguodala, Chandler, McGee, Anthony Randolph, Gallinari, and Farid, are very strong in the Denver track team.
Whether it is defensive or offensive, they have achieved a perfect combination of effects.
“The Denver Nuggets are not that easy to play!”
Therefore, at the Lakers’ pre-game meeting, Black Mamba sipped wolfberry water while frowning and sighing.
“Yes.” Steve Nash also looked sad.
Doug didn’t speak at all.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was dull to the extreme.
At this time, Little Buss came out and enlivened the atmosphere: “Don’t worry, everyone. Don’t set the goal so high all at once. Even if you can’t sweep it, it’s acceptable to make a 41. You can sell one more ticket, isn’t it? ?”
“Yes, yes! We fully understand the leaders’ eagerness to win, but we must also consider the civil sentiment in the Colorado Plateau. Don’t destroy the friendly feelings between the people of the two regions.” Kupchak also hurriedly chime in.
At this time, Snoopy, as the commander of this series of exhibitions, stood up and spoke: “We try our best to sweep, but if we can’t sweep, Mr. Bryant also asks you not to enter too much negative emotions. After all, we also have to respect. Opponent, isn’t it.”
“Moreover, with regard to the recent dispute between you and Shackle O’Neal, we are also very able to understand your feelings, and thank you for your trust in our current Lakers team. However, they are all old things, so don’t let them go. My heart.”
Dugge persuaded Bryant, who had the greatest ‘sweeping demands’.
The reason why Kobe has such a big resentment for sweeping opponents is because he and O’Neal have scolded again.
O’Neal has nothing to do recently, and he has started to pick up the Lakers’ enthusiasm. He emphasized on the tnt program: The Purple and Gold in 2001 were the strongest team in the history of the Lakers. Better than any Lakers team, a hundred times better than this year’s Lakers. Although this team also has Kobe, there is no O’Neal!
And he put forward the argument: In 2001, the Purple and Gold Corps destroyed all the way, swept the Portland Trail Blazers (3-0), Sacramento Kings (4-0) and San Antonio Spurs (4-0), if not for Iverson In the first finals of the gods, we will definitely win the championship with a sweep of 150!
Logically speaking, O’Neal did not say anything wrong.
If he didn’t, take the last sentence out, saying that the Lakers are a hundred times better than the current Lakers because this team does not have O’Neal. Kobe will not be angry at all, nor will he fight back on Twitter.
‘Does Shaker think he is greater than Snoopy? He is nothing more than a third-rate narrator who sleeps on his past merits! ’
After he posted 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, defeating the Nuggets is definitely not a problem.
But sweeping is difficult. After all, the Nuggets are not a cat or dog. They have beaten the Lakers three times in the regular season.
The pressure on the coaching staff is also huge.
“No, just sweep! If there is no way, I will make a way, if there is no way out, I will hit the way out. In my Kobe Bryant’s life, the last thing I want to hear is O’Neill’s trash talk.”
Kobe Bryant threw down these words hard, then turned and left.
He is just like a little wife who doesn’t talk about haircuts.
Snoopy suddenly felt very big head.
What he worried was that he really swept the Nuggets. O’Neal will fire again at that time, and Kobe can’t ask the team to sweep the Thunder? Then sweep the Spurs?
This is not a fantasy!
