The Defenders' second game is scheduled for the last day, which means that before February 6th, the Defenders' players can take a break to gather strength on the last day.
"Joe, how are you observing over there? Are there any good players worth exploring?" the Atlanta Hawks scout asked the Denver Nuggets scout.
"There are several good candidates who can be signed to strengthen the Nuggets' back line. How about you, Sam?"
"I haven't found any good players yet. Oh, there are a few good insiders. Unfortunately, the boss asked me to come down this time because they asked me to sign some reliable forward players. The inside players are not cold."
"Really? Then you will be miserable! If you get nothing in these five days, the signing bonus will be lost!"
"That's right! Didn't you see that I was worrying about this? Do you have any good players that you can share with me?"
"Oh, no, no, no, Sam, although we are friends, we are now in a competitive relationship. Please forgive me for not being able to help with this kind of thing!"
"Okay, I get it, Joe, I don't blame you."
"By the way, have you heard that Ivanka Dukan of the Bulls has another conflict with Gar Forman, and this time it's quite fierce. You are his good friend, and you know what's going on.
Any news?"
"Hey, let me tell you, are you planning to change your career to become a reporter? Are you so gossipy?"
"Hey, who makes it difficult to be a scout these days? To be honest, when I was a reporter, I really thought about it. If I lose my job in the future, I would like to have a way out? Hey, seriously, do you know?
What’s the inside story of this matter?”
"You know what kind of person Ivanka Dukan is. He rarely talks about work matters, but..."
"But what? What's the point? Say it quickly! Say it quickly!"
"But I vaguely heard that the reason he had a conflict this time was because a player he liked was not interested. So, you have also heard of Ivanka Dukan's temper. He just got angry and
I’ve given up my pick!”
"Here, this guy has such a temper even at his age. I really don't know how he became the Bulls' international scouting director!"
"Hey, don't be envious of me. Ever since Jerry Krause stepped down as the general manager of the Bulls, his successor Gar Forman has been lukewarm towards him. Do you think that he is in charge of this position?"
Do you feel comfortable sitting there? Maybe one day I will pack up and leave!”
"It's not a good thing to offend the general manager! If it were me, I would follow Gar Forman. After all, the Bulls still need to pay wages, right?"
"Haha, so you can't become Ivanka Dukan!"
"Huh? Joe, you just said that the conflict between Ivanka Dukan and the superiors was mainly because of her crush on a player? Who is this player? Do you know the name?"
"What's the matter? Are you tempted?" Joe shook his head and smiled: "Sam, Sam, don't you think about it, if I knew this person, wouldn't I attack first? How could I tell you? Ivanka.
Dukan’s vision is recognized as first-rate in the industry!”
"That's right. I thought too much."
"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something interesting!"
"What's interesting?"
"Do you know who the Lakers sent this time?"
"Who is it? Ruben? Dan Luo? Or Ding'ao???"
"NONONO~ None of them."
"Who is that? It can't be Jim Buss who came in person, right? I remember that Bass has never been very interested in the NBDL league."
"Please, Sam, can you have some fun? Have you been blind these days?"
"What do you mean? I've been really busy during this period. You don't know. I was given an order from above. This time I must sign 1 to 2 useful substitute strikers. If I can't complete the task, I will
But it’s miserable. So how can I have time to care about other things?”
"Okay, okay, let me tell you, the scout sent by the Lakers this time is Bonnie Jill Laughlin."
"What??? Is it her??? Are the Lakers crazy? Why send a woman here? Even if you are not interested in NBDL, it won't be like this, right? Sending her here is a waste of time!"
"Ah~ don't be so excited. She is the first and only female scout in NBA history. Can't you show respect for her professional abilities?"
"What a fucking respect!!! A person who became an NBA scout by selling meat, what is there to respect? Besides, she has been a scout for 3 to 4 years. What talents has she discovered?
If she hadn't relied on old Buss, she would have been kicked off the Los Angeles Lakers! She's just a dirty piece of flesh!"
"Haha, then you must also have the ability to be a flesh and blood! She became a scout for an NBA team and the deputy general manager of an NBDL team in her early thirties. At this speed, you and I will never do it again.
It will be difficult to catch up in ten years!”
"So what? I heard that old Bass's health has not been very good in recent years. Let's see how she can still run around when old Bass is gone!"
……………………
At this moment, on the other side of the Los Angeles Defenders' home court, a brown-haired woman was answering the phone.
She is the "flesh and blood" Bonnie Jill Laughlin just mentioned by Joe and Sam.
"Bonnie, how's the progress going there? The team is in urgent need of interior players to fill the vacancies!" A male voice rang from her mobile phone.
"I have discovered several good insiders. Please give me a few more days to observe, Mr. Kupchak." Bonnie Laughlin said into the mobile phone.
"Bonnie, it's not that I don't give you time. You don't know the situation of the team these days. All the substitute insiders who were originally prepared have problems. They are either injured or have the flu. The playing time of the starting lineup has been overloaded.
, If we don’t bring in new insiders, I’m afraid there will be big trouble.” The person she called was none other than the general manager of the Lakers, Mitch Kupchak.
"But Mr. Kupchak, no matter how much the team needs manpower, it can't act too hastily, right? If you sign new players randomly, I'm afraid Bryant will be unhappy," Bonnie Laughlin said.
"I can't help it, Bonnie. To tell you the truth, Bryant's side has been the most noisy in the past few days. Especially after today's loss to the Utah Jazz, there were complaints about the team's substitutes, and even
Everything was passed directly to me. You also know that the Lakers are now Bryant's team, so I have to treat his complaints carefully!"
Regarding today's loss to the Utah Jazz, Bonnie Laughlin also reviewed the post-game report. Kobe, Gasol, and Bynum scored 26, 24, and 21 points respectively, and the number of shots was only
50 times. This means that in the 87-point score, just three people scored 71 points, while the remaining substitutes only contributed 16 points.
25 total shots were taken, but only 16 points were obtained. The points scored were less than the number of shots taken. It is no wonder that Bryant's side complained publicly. However, if I want to find a substitute immediately, does it all come from
Pressure on Bryant's side?
I do not believe it!
I, Bonnie Jill Laughlin, am not an outsider? I am not a simple fan. Do you think I will believe such nonsense as "the Lakers are now Bryant's team"? Bryant is in the Lakers management team.
Don’t I know how much I have a real say in the world? Kupchak, you want to lie to me? What a dream! Isn’t it just old Buss who recently had the idea of promoting me to assistant to the general manager? You are so quick
Are you going to put pressure on me?
Although he understood what Kupchak meant, he still had to pretend to be "unaware" on the surface and replied: "So that's what it is like, I understand, I will definitely speed up and complete the work!"
"
"Well, Bonnie, you are a person who has the interests of the team at heart, and I trust you very much. Otherwise, I would not assign you to do such an urgent and important task. Let's do this, Bonnie, from NBDL
Showcase will be over on the 6th, you just need to find someone and complete the signing before the 7th." On the phone, Mitch Kupchak seemed to be very generous and caring, his tone was soft and soft, and there was no force or order at all.
Feel.
But Bonnie Laughlin's ability to go from being a cheerleader to today is not "silly and sweet". She naturally heard that although Mitch Kupchak's tone had always been very gentle, there was an underlying tone that was not tolerated by her.
The meaning of refusal.
"Wait, wait, Mr. Kupchak, haven't you always done the signing of the team yourself? This suddenly gives me this right. I'm afraid I..." Before Bonnie Laughlin could finish her words, Mickey...
Kupchak stepped in unhurriedly: "It's okay, Bonnie, you have always been a core management member of our Lakers team. I am not worried about giving you this right. I believe you can do it."
Okay, right?"
This cunning old fox!
Bonnie Laughlin secretly scolded Mitch Kupchak in her heart. She was not stupid. She knew that Mitch Kupchak was "retreating in order to advance", pretending to be generous, but actually pushing herself
Branded on fire, if you see the opportunity, kick yourself into the pit of fire!
However, the reason why you dare to give me the power to sign the contract is that you are sure that I will not be able to handle it, and it will definitely fail? Then you are too underestimated, Bonnie Laughlin! Mitch Kupchak
, I will definitely let you shoot yourself in the foot this time!!!
"Thank you Mr. Mitch Kupchak for your trust and appreciation. Bonnie will definitely live up to your expectations and will complete this task beautifully!"
"Haha, seeing you so confident Bonnie makes me feel at ease. Then before the 7th, I will be waiting for your good news in the office! I wish you success, Ms. Bonnie!"
"Thank you, Mr. Kupchak, I will try my best!"
After saying that, both parties hung up the phone in tacit agreement at the same time.
Los Angeles Lakers general manager's office.
"This stinky woman, you still want to fight with me? Let me tell you, even if you and old Bass are not on good terms, you can't threaten me! I will never allow a second person to interfere in my territory! This NBDL signing is to clean up
Once you mess up, I will definitely report it to the police. When I see it, how can Old Bass have the nerve to put you here!!!"
The home court of the Los Angeles Defenders, in a remote corner.
"Kupchak, do you want to trick me? Well, I will come and have some fun with you! We want to see who will cry and who will laugh then! Mr. General Manager, we will see!
!!”
PS: Bonnie Jill Laughlin is currently the only female scout in the NBA. Her father was once the personal bodyguard of Bass. She released a photo album last year or the year before that, which included big breasts, fat buttocks...
Ahem, I won’t go into details. You can search for it yourself. After all, he is someone who has taken photo shoots for Playboy and FHM, so there is no need to talk about his figure.
Xiao Zi couldn't stand it anymore last night, so she got up early in the morning to write. I hope everyone won't be surprised~~~I suddenly have to update twice a day. Xiao Zi still hasn't gotten used to it, but she should be fine after she gets used to it.
, I hope everyone will collect more and vote more, so that Xiao Zi can write until she vomits every day~~~
Okay, let’s not talk anymore. Xiao Zi has to go to work, otherwise the boss will make me look good~~~/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
