"Okay, I know you are talking about Earl Lloyd, a Hall of Famer and a basketball pioneer. It's a pity that I didn't see Wilt at his peak with my own eyes." Bill McDonald said with some regret.
"Actually, I very much agree with Earl Lloyd's point of view. If I am also a player who plays inside, then Wilt will not be able to consider retirement when he reaches his peak." After hearing this, Stu Lantz
MacDonald smiled and said: "Earl Lloyd was at the end of his career at that time. Of course he didn't want to lose his guarantee late in the season. If he was still a rookie, he probably wouldn't choose to retire directly, right?"
"Well, maybe applying to play outside is also a good choice." Stu Lantz said.
"Haha~ That makes sense~ Earl Lloyd gave Wilt the nickname 'The God of Destruction'. He must have been frightened."
"Actually, when I met him, his knees were completely useless and his athletic ability was not as good as before. But every night when I met the Lakers, I would still silently pray to the Lord so that the Lakers No. 13 would stop blocking me.
, lest I don’t get a decent contract next season.”
"Fortunately, I am not a professional basketball player. There are too many monsters on the basketball court."
"That is, do you know what was the biggest wrong decision in my life?" Stu Lantz said: "It was choosing to be born in that era and choosing to play basketball in that era."
…
The suspense has been lost in the following games. Whether it is Rudy Gay, Kyle Wall or DeMar DeRozan, their shooting percentage in the paint is extremely low, so low that it is shocking. In the end, DeRozan took the lead to learn
Be good, anyway, his strongest offensive weapon is not a strong attack under the basket, so he immediately changed the offensive area and fired from inside the three-point line and outside the paint area throughout the fourth quarter. In fact, he got a lot of points for the Raptors.
Fraction.
But just like this, the Raptors still can't narrow the score difference. They just try to lose as few points as possible to look good.
With 9 points, 15 blocks and 27 rebounds, Tang Qian undoubtedly won the best of the game in this game.
This super terrible "blue-collar data" directly eclipsed DeRozan's 38 points, and he was helpless.
At the post-game press conference, DeRozan said:
The Lakers' Eastern Conference No. 29 is currently a super blue-collar player in the league. His performance is shocking!
Kobe also said:
Keeping the Chinese perm will be Mitch Kupchak's biggest success this season. He is far more than the price tag of 4 million!
Nash said:
China Perm has made its three-pointers more accurate! Because when shooting, it is just like training. If you don’t hit the ball, the basketball will return to your palm again!
Gasol:
Fang is currently the young insider he admires most in the league!
Shortly after the game, the Lakers, who were still holding a press conference, suddenly received news that the team won the Western Conference Player of the Week award on the 29th! As soon as the news came out, the reporter below immediately heard the news and said: "Excuse me
Hot, how do you feel about winning the Best of the Week award again?"
"Well, I feel surprised, but I'm not surprised either." Tang Qian has gradually become more comfortable dealing with the media.
"This is the third time of the week in your career. How many times is your ultimate goal? 10 times? 20 times? Or 30 times?"
Tang Qian opened his mouth and replied: "Of course, the more, the better. This is also a kind of affirmation and encouragement for myself."
"Tang, have you ever dreamed about the best person of the month this month?"
Tang Qian said: "It's even a dream, but in this alliance, who doesn't want to?"
After a relatively relaxed Q&A, someone suddenly stood up and asked loudly: "Excuse me, do you think you deserve to win the Best of the Week award again? After all, this week in the Western Conference, there are also players with explosive statistics and outstanding performances.
There is someone here." Tang Qian glanced at this person's press card, and suddenly understood, and said: "They have been issued to me. Can you say it is not worthy, I say it is not worthy, and he says it is not worthy, can it be cancelled? As for my personal
Do you feel like, as long as the awards are not decided by ESPN, there should be no doubt about the fairness, right?"
There was a burst of laughter, and it was obvious that Tang Qian's American humor was also growing rapidly.
The reporter from ESPN is also an "old-skinned" reporter, so he was not too affected and continued to ask: "Regarding Kobe's remarks, do you support it from the bottom of your heart, or do you do it against your will? We all know that Kobe always speaks the truth in the team. If you
It is understandable that I have been under some kind of coercion." Tang Qian immediately choked out after hearing this: "You are so suspicious every day, can't you do some serious news reporting? I can tell you responsibly, what I said
Every word I say is my own will and has nothing to do with anyone else. No one can coerce me, not an individual, the media, or a larger social organization. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Hot~ You are so rude to the media, are you trying to gain attention by taking a 'non-mainstream' and unconventional route?" The man continued to speak reluctantly. Tang Qian was not a good-tempered person, so he immediately pushed back.
Said: "Which of your eyes saw that I was rude to other media? Or is it that ESPN can already represent the news media in the United States? As for gaining eyeballs? LOL~ It's useless for you anyway~ Because you
Your reputation is not as great as mine, right? Sir?"
"You!!!" The man wanted to say more, but Tang Qian had already waved his hand and said: "Next."
The next day, there was a lot of news about the Lakers on the Internet and in newspapers.
7 consecutive wins!!! Is this a sign that the running-in is complete??? - Los Angeles Times.
Belated success! But there's still time! Come on, Los Angeles! Come on, Lakers! - Laker Nation.
The Chinese player won the Western Conference Player of the Week for the second time! DeRozan called him a super blue collar! - Lakers Nation.
Angry at ESPN reporter! Fang and Yao are completely different! - Orange County Chronicle.
Averaged 9.3 points, 22.5 rebounds, 12.8 blocks and 1.3 assists per game. Such a hot Chinese player deserves to be named the Western Conference Player of the Week this week! No problem! - Isiah Thomas.
He will be the next Mutombo, the next Ben Wallace, believe me buddy, he will become the league's top blue-collar All-Star!!! - Charles Barkley.
Madman! He doesn’t have Yao’s humility at all! This kind of emotional intelligence won’t go far in the NBA! - ESPN.
It’s just a temporary outburst, and within a few games, the Chinese perm will be brought back to its original shape! - Henry Abbott.
…
And while the outside world was talking a lot, there was someone in the general manager's office of the Lakers who was frowning, showing no sexual interest in the beautiful woman. He was the general manager of the Lakers.
Manager, Mitch Kupchak.
"Sir, you haven't made a decision yet? You rarely hesitate like this." Personal secretary Laurie Blank exhaled while squeezing Mitch Kupcher's shoulders. "You don't know.
, this time the matter is very troublesome, but I have to make a decision." Mitch Kupchak pressed his eyebrows, where a "Sichuan" pattern appeared at this moment.
"Then what would you choose?" Laurie Blank asked: "Howard or China..."
"What would you choose?" Mitch Kupcher rarely asked Lauri Blank's opinion.
"Sir, you are very rare..." Blank said in surprise.
"Just say what you say, it doesn't matter, I just want to hear your opinion now." Hearing what Mitch Kupcher said, Laurie Blank nodded and said: "It should be...well,
Howard, right? After all, he is already a superstar in the league, and China Hot has yet to prove himself." In fact, Laurie Blank was originally thinking of another answer, but when she glanced at a picture on her desk,
When asked about the player's information, he immediately changed his story.
Others may not know it, but she has been with Mitch Kupchell for 8 years, from the age of 20 to 28, and has more or less mastered some of this powerful man's "little habits." For example, this one right now is Mitch Kupchell.
Chel always likes to put his favorite things at the top, and right now the top of the pile of information on his desk is "Warcraft" Dwight Howard.
So, she changed her answer without hesitation.
Sure enough, when Mitch Kupchak heard this, he smiled with satisfaction and said: "Not bad, not bad. After following me for so many years, it is not in vain. My vision and eyesight have been honed! You are better than that"
Women who sell meat must be strong!” The “woman who sells meat” in his mouth is none other than Bonnie Laughlin. One of the many appointments made by Bass Sr. before her death was
Promoted Bonnie Laughlin to assistant general manager of the Lakers.
This time, it can be considered that it has completely aroused Mitch Kupcher's sensitive nerves, because he himself came up from the position of assistant to the general manager. Now that Old Buss has made this woman the assistant to the general manager, could it be that he is doing something wrong?
Already...
No, it doesn't look like it, because he will die soon, and Jim will be in charge of everything from now on. Even if he has this idea, it will never be realized. So what does he mean???... Damn it
, this old fox will cause trouble to others before leaving!!!
But in any case, Bass's appointment has completely put Mitch Kupchak and Bonnie Laughlin on opposite sides of each other. As for his deep meaning, no one knows yet.
This is also in line with the old Bass's style of doing things. He is arbitrary and has his own way. Once he really decides what to do, he will not give others any room to refuse. Even though he usually has a lot of trust in Mitch Kupcher, he is also very trustworthy.
Don't be directly involved in the team's affairs, but be arbitrary and unambiguous. You, the general manager, just need to execute.
During the O'Neal incident that year, he supported Kobe Bryant, as an example, regardless of your other opinions.
Fortunately, you are gone, and your stupid son and I are good friends, so no matter what conspiracy you have, I can resolve it! The future Lakers will be the time for me to show my talents, and there will be no restrictions at all.
Show off your skills!!!
"Thank you Mr. Kupchak for your affirmation. I will be content as long as I can stay with him in the future." Of course, Laurie Blank understands the "personal grudge" between Mitch Kupchak and Bonnie Laughlin.
So he replied very obediently. "Okay, okay! Don't worry, I will always keep you by my side! Now, let my 'little Mickey' relax!" Seeing that his decision was very "popular"
, Kupchak was in a good mood and touched the former's black thigh and laughed.
"Don't worry, I will make your 'little Mickey' relax completely!" Laurie Blank said with a flirtatious look.
Suddenly, the general manager's office of the Lakers was filled with spring scenery.
…
"Humph, you Mitch Kupchak knows the truth!" In his apartment in Los Angeles, "Warcraft" Howard held up his cell phone and said: "To hell with the promise, you are also one of the objects I hate.
"Ah, do you know?" Howard looked at himself in the mirror with a face full of scars, and his tone suddenly became sinister.
"Not just that Chinese guy~ but also Kobe Bryant! And the head coach! And the general manager! And the Lakers! And the entire Los Angeles! You... are all annoying!!!"
"This is just the beginning!!!"
“Far from the end!!!”
“Just wait and see!!!”
"I, Dwight Howard, am not someone to be bullied!!!"
…
At the same time, the details of the contract between Tang Qian and AND1 were also exposed.
28 million US dollars in 2 years! Plus 15%-20% dividends on global sales profits!
The person who broke the news was Yahoo Sports reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, who is known as the "King of Sports Tips". Generally speaking, his "grapevine news" is extremely accurate, almost as good as official news. So for a while,
The American media has exploded again! All kinds of questioning voices are pouring in!
The first to bear the brunt was ESPN, where columnist and famous reporter Brian Windhorse wrote an article immediately:
Crazy AND1! Stupid AND1! AND1 doomed to bankruptcy!
Henry Abbott also wrote on his personal Twitter:
He actually bet all his chips on a substitute from the East! No wonder AND1 has gotten worse and worse in the past ten years! The biggest failed signing in sports history has already happened! China’s hot value is 28 million in 2 years??? And there are
Global sales profit dividends??? Yes, not the United States, but the world. Do the executives of AND1 think that the Lakers No. 29 is the next Michael Jordan??? The worst and worst signing!!! No one!!!
Former NBA player Jay Williams, host of ESPN Live 2, said:
Sales dividends??? Even LeBron doesn't have something, why should he have it??? He may be like his compatriots, he will leave the NBA and the United States after only a few years of playing. Is AND1 planning to go to the other side of the ocean at that time?
Making money??? Stupid! Stupid!! Stupid!!!
In addition to ESPN's vigorous criticism, there are also many "outsiders" who have also stepped in because of jealousy.
