One Hundred and Eighth: A New Member of the Sixty Points Club
() Chapter 108: New members of the 60-point club
"mvp!"
The Madison crowd roared, just like they always did.
Madison Square Garden in New York is the most unlikeable home stadium in the league. Perhaps because the home team’s record in recent years has been so bad, New York fans will always give more support to away team players than to home team players when they perform amazingly.
Warm cheers.
As Adrian once again hit a mid-range shot over Stephon Marbury's head, the cheers almost lifted the ceiling of Madison.
Adrian's statistics at this time were printed in bright and conspicuous red letters on Madison's big screen. In the fourth quarter, at 3 minutes and 25 seconds, Adrian Kewert scored: 61 points, 7 assists.
Rebounds: 8, steals: 1, blocks: 1.
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
This time, Adrian did not quickly retreat to the Lakers half to participate in the defense after scoring as before. Instead, he slowly retreated step by step, while placing his hands by his ears, as if listening to Madison's response.
own cheers.
Amid the cheers, Isaiah Thomas sat on the coaching bench with a slumped expression. He raised his head and looked at the score of 98:70 on the big screen, knowing that the suspense of this game had been lost. Stephen Mabou
His face was livid and he was staring at the floor, as if he was trying to find a gap in the floor for himself to slip into.
Playing in New York does require a lot of pressure, because the fans here never mind switching sides. It doesn't matter to them whether they are members of their own team. New York fans only cheer for the strong.
Kobe's clapping hands gradually stopped, and his face changed from excitement to calmness, and then from calmness to solemnity. Adrian scored 60 points in a single game, which is indeed a joyful and joyful thing for the entire Lakers.
The celebration, for Adrian, seems to prove that he has the potential to become the league's top scorer.
But as the league's top scorer and the first core player that the Lakers will not let go of, Kobe Bryant needs to think of more things, that is, how should the ball rights be distributed in the future?
Should Adrian continue to have the ball, then how should he choose to take action? Or as before, the first priority is to organize the team. Can he not take action if he can't?
If Adrian chooses this way, then Kobe will definitely be very satisfied. But is this possible? A scorer who can score 60 points in a single game may be so willing to make organization his first priority, averaging 60 points per game.
Can't you take more than ten shots?
It's impossible for Kobe to push himself and others!
Kobe is a smart person. Although his personality is paranoid, it does not mean that he is not smart. After the initial excitement passed, while others were still immersed in excitement, Kobe had already thought of many, many things. After all, such things
He has already experienced it once, but that time, Kobe was a young man, and he successfully took over O'Neal and took over the Lakers.
Will it be the same this time?
Young man defeats old man?
"That's enough!" James Dolan said again. But this time after saying it, he stood up from the sofa, turned around and was about to walk out of the box.
To be fair, James Dolan doesn't have much ill feelings toward Isaiah Thomas. After all, although the Knicks he runs have a poor record, they have remained profitable because of their proficiency in business development. But the Knicks' record is really
It was so bad that James couldn't stand it.
It maintains a salary expenditure of nearly 100 million US dollars every year, not counting the luxury tax bill, but its record ranks at the bottom of the league all year round!
Donny Wash suddenly felt happy. He knew what James Dolan was thinking, although so far this season, he had rushed Isaiah Thomas from the position of general manager to the head coach and gave him instructions.
It's an indicator of either entering the playoffs or getting out, but from the perspective of James Dolan's heart, he doesn't seem to really want to get rid of Thomas. This has been true since the Knicks' general manager's throne has been vacant, and the general manager's
It can be seen from the fact that the power has always been controlled by Thomas.
Now, James Dolan is dissatisfied with Thomas. This makes the professional managers who aspire to be the general manager of the Knicks feel that the opportunity is close at hand, and among these professional managers, Donnie Wash is not at all
Undoubtedly the person closest to the Knicks general manager throne.
James Dolan suddenly stopped and looked through the glass of the box at Adrian Kewalt, who was receiving cheers with a smile in the Lakers half court, thoughtfully and like
He said to himself: "Can you bring him to the Knicks?"
Donny Wash had a sudden thought in his heart. He carefully thought about the possibility of trading Adrian, and finally shook his head with a helpless smile: "I'm afraid this is impossible, Mr. Dolan, the Lakers will not agree to any trade."
."
Donny Wash was about to explain to James Dolan why it was impossible to trade Adrian Kwilter, but he saw James Dolan say "uh", which was like a response, but also like
He made meaningless noises and then walked away without looking back.
Donnie Wash opened his mouth, and finally could only follow Dolan's footsteps and leave this unpleasant place together.
He knew in his heart that if he could handle Adrian's transfer, then the Knicks general manager position would be almost certain for him. But Donnie Wash didn't dare to boast in front of James Dolan.
Haikou.
Adrian has just signed a new contract with the Lakers. This contract will expire in 2009. The Lakers have a team option in 2008, but judging from the situation, the Lakers should not activate this option and wait until Adrian
After fulfilling the contract normally, the conditions for triggering the Larry-Bow clause are just right to sign a long-term max-salary contract with Adrian to keep Adrian.
It is conceivable that unless God made a joke, it is absolutely impossible for the Lakers to let Adrian go. And Adrian may not have the intention to leave the Lakers.
But is this possible?
For no reason, why did Adrian leave the Los Angeles Lakers and switch to New York?
