After changing careers, I became the number one player in basketball

Chapter 114 113: The Lakers have quietly become stronger with the addition of two more strong players (thanks to Xiaoyao? Suixin’s 9000 reward)

"The logo is too much, Divac must stay today.

If he leaves, I won’t do it anymore!”

In the Lakers' general manager's office, Dunleavy couldn't believe that the man with the logo actually wanted to trade Divac.

Dunleavy originally thought that Divac's firefighter-like performance in the last quarter of Game 5 of the first round of the playoffs would win him the favor of the management.

Unexpectedly, the team is still thinking about trading him.

Moreover, the target of the trade is actually Trail Blazers player Clifford Robinson, who just lost in the finals!

Dunleavy just didn't understand. Apart from being the backdrop for Jordan's show, does this guy have any dazzling qualities?

Is it worth trading Divac for a power forward who averages 12 points per game?

Logo looked at Dunleavy in disbelief, "Are you threatening me?"

Then let’s make an agreement and have double happiness!

However, Logo still saved some face for Dunleavy and did not say this out loud.

He just waved his hand:

"Don't talk so much, I think Carlisle is right.

We need big men who can shoot and are athletic.

This is perfect for Shay.

Clifford Robinson has strong athletic ability and is very active defensively.

Although he can't stand up to centers like Olajuwon and Ewing, who in the league can stand up to them?

With his arrival, the team's fast attack will be smoother.

And don't forget, that guy has the potential to make three-pointers.

If this is the case, Shay's room for breakthrough will be too great.

I think Robinson is indeed the best fit for Shay.

Matching a lineup is just like finding a wife, beauty is not the most important thing.

Suitability is the most important thing.”

Seeing that the Logo Man had already made his decision, Dunleavy was a little angry.

As a head coach, I don’t even have the right to retain a key player?

In fact, it would be fine if only the Logo Man made this decision alone, but the key issue of trading Divac was originally spoken out by Carlisle.

I would rather listen to Carlisle, the assistant coach, than listen to me, the head coach.

Who does this team listen to?

Carlisle: Let's discuss it, whether it's serious or not.

Not only the matter of trading Divac, but also during the game, Dunleavy felt that Carlisle had greater decision-making power than himself.

Shay also seems to have a better relationship with Carlisle.

Dunleavy suddenly felt that he seemed particularly redundant!

It just so happens that Dunleavy's contract expires this season.

The Milwaukee Bucks, his old team when he was an assistant coach, have also offered him an olive branch.

Let him be the head coach and deputy general manager of football operations!

Dunleavy would have agreed to the Bucks a long time ago if he hadn't considered the Lakers' bigger market.

Now that the logo is so ruthless, Dunleavy also directly shows off:

"Seriously Jerry, I don't agree with this deal.

Divac is an important part of the team, if you trade him, I will leave immediately!"

Dunleavy is not only fighting for Divac, but also fighting for his rights as the head coach.

Logo's eyes became serious. You kid turned your nose on your face, didn't you?

"Shay is the most important part of the team.

Everyone else can be put on the shelf."

After hearing this, Dunleavy also knew what Logo Man meant.

There is no need to discuss this matter.

Dunleavy nodded and stood up: "I quit."

After that, he walked out of Logo Man's office.

Everyone in Carlisle is stupid, that's not it.

Wasn’t everything fine just now?

Why is this Dunleavy acting like a high school girl, getting emotional whenever she wants?

He looked at the logo with fierce eyes and hurriedly tried to smooth things over:

"Uh hahahaha, Mike, he doesn't mean it.

Oh, you know, middle-aged men always have so many days in a month.

It’s okay, I’ll just make him some brown sugar water to drink later.”

After Carlisle said that, he wanted to slap himself.

What the hell am I talking about!?

This experience shows that he is a good man who always takes care of his wife.

Unlike Ewing and others, they only know how to shout for the next batch.

West shook his head: "Okay, stop talking, I've seen this scene before, it's okay. Now, let's start working on the draft."

What kind of troubles have you never seen with Logo men?

As for the head coach escaping during a critical period of the team, he has not only seen it before with the logo man.

He even did it himself!

When Magic first joined the team, the entire Lakers team was ambitious.

They all feel that the lineup of Magic + Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will definitely allow the team to have a good performance.

As a result, at this critical moment when everyone was high-spirited, Logo Man actually resigned from his position as head coach.

At that time, Bass, who had newly bought the team, was so angry that he almost lost his temper.

Logo mainly felt that there was too much pressure and felt that he did not have the ability to lead a team to win championships as a coach.

As a coach, his on-the-spot command ability is too poor.

Many times, he would only yell at the players during timeouts and could not arrange any tactics at all.

Rivers: Isn’t that what coaching is all about?

So West eventually resigned and retreated into the background.

The situation now is almost exactly the same as it was then.

Shea proved in one season that he was the right answer for the Lakers, and the whole team was encouraged to start strengthening.

As a result, at this critical moment, the head coach took the bucket and ran away.

History is indeed a cycle.

The logo man said it’s okay, I’m very experienced in this matter!

There are so many outstanding coaches in universities waiting to be selected, are you still worried that you can’t find them?

Let’s get the draft matters settled first!

So before the draft started the next day, Shea and countless Lakers fans saw a shocking news in the newspaper:

"Dunleavy took the initiative to resign, leaving the Lakers head coach position vacant!"

"Without a coach at a critical moment? How far can the Lakers go next season?"

"Rumors say that a disagreement between Shay and Dunleavy caused Dunleavy to leave."

Shay:???

I was shot even while I was riding a horse!

But it is true that once the head coach of any team resigns, most people's first reaction is that the coach and the star do not get along.

Just like when you mention practicing ball control and breaking the press, everyone's first reaction is that he is a hard-working basketball player.

This is caused by inertial thinking.

Just as the Lakers were preparing to show off their talents, news broke that the head coach had resigned and the generals were at odds.

This naturally caused countless suspicions.

But today, Dunleavy's resignation is just an appetizer.

Everyone is paying more attention to today's draft.

The results of this year's draft lottery are the same as in history, and nothing has changed.

The Magic is No. 1, the Hornets are No. 2, and the Timberwolves are No. 3.

As expected, O'Neal became the No. 1 pick in the 1992 draft.

If there is a Joe, choose Joe, if there is no Joe, choose a shark.

This law will not change in any era.

If there is an accident, it must be Olajuwon and the Trail Blazers.

O'Neal was so excited when Stern read his name first.

Although in the eyes of the outside world, it is certain that O'Neal will become the No. 1 pick.

But in O'Neal's own mind, he felt that he only had a 60% chance of becoming the No. 1 pick.

Mourning: It must be because of me

Shaq: Shut up, it's because of Laettner!

As the only college player selected for the Dream Team, Laettner is indeed on par with the Sharks in the NCAA.

The Sharks thought that if Laettner could take away his spot on the Dream Team, it would not be surprising to take away another No. 1 pick.

Fortunately, the Magic are not blind. Not all teams can perfectly avoid the correct answer.

In this way, Mourning became the second choice. He was so excited that he wanted to pick up his phone and call Shay immediately:

"Brother, my ranking is higher than yours hahahahaha!"

Laettner fell to the third overall pick. It can only be said that this world is too realistic.

Although men always say that what's on the inside is most important, during the draft, they always choose those with better physical condition.

It is said that what is important on the inside is the most important thing. When choosing a princess, you always choose one with a big butt and a big butt.

Hey, man!

Even if he lost to the Sharks, Laettner really didn't expect why a semi-cripple like Mourning could surpass him.

What are the Hornets thinking?

Last year I selected a power forward who was less than 2 meters tall, and this year I selected a center who is 2.06 meters tall.

In Charlotte, it's illegal to be taller than 2.10 meters, right?

But it's okay, Laettner doesn't really want to play in Charlotte.

Even though Minneapolis isn't much better, it's still better than Charlotte.

Look at how Auntie was forgotten last season. This is a naked lesson!

And Leitner believes that the third flower will always be the strongest!

After that, the Rockets, who did not make the playoffs, took Robert Horry with the 11th pick, who would have more championship rings than the Super Giants in the future.

However, when the Rockets selected Horry, the on-site commentators were indifferent to it.

Now when people mention the Rockets, what they are most concerned about is whether Olajuwon will stay or go.

"At present, the Lakers, 76ers and Suns are the three teams leading the Olajuwon trade.

The 76ers are willing to trade Barkley. Although Barkley's contract has expired, they can sign and trade first.

The Suns are willing to package Hornacek and other main players together.

The Lakers are willing to sell all players except Shea.

After Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Lakers are robbing super centers again.

It’s simply an old tradition.”

At this point in the on-site commentary, I don’t know how many fans of other teams were cursing in front of the TV.

The Lakers always seduce super centers because of their big market. Bah, disgusting!

I hope Olajuwon will not be seduced this time.

Dameng, please wake up. You don't think the Lakers selected Shay to help you, do you?

Once you go to Los Angeles, you’ll have to look at Shay’s face from now on!

Everyone hopes that the Lakers can't get anything out of it. It would be best if Shay is tortured by Drexler for a few more years!

Drexler also couldn't sleep every day, and his hairline was damaged with no way out.

If the Lakers really get Olajuwon, my rule in the Western Conference will become precarious in the future.

With the 21st pick, it was the Lakers' turn to choose.

Shay actually didn't have high expectations. After all, he was just a rookie, and Logo Man was the kind of person who didn't tolerate his authority being challenged.

He will definitely select people according to his own wishes.

Who knew that with the 21st pick, Sprewell's name actually came up!

Lakers fans were also surprised. Who is this ugly guy?

Moreover, the Lakers already have a lot of guards.

Shea, McMillan, Roy Sparrow, Tony Smith, lower horse.

This gives you another chance to choose a defender.

Why, are the Lakers going to use a five-guard lineup next season?

You should hurry up and find some useful insiders.

If it really can't be solved, Divac and Campbell can just hurry up and have a baby!

Shay couldn't help but smile when he saw Sprewell's name.

It's incredible that the Logo Man actually listened to his own advice.

The most talked about thing about Sprewell is the classic saying "10 million a year is not enough to support a family".

In addition, this guy almost strangled his head coach to death, so the impression was not very good.

But in fact, Sprewell was still playing well in the first few years of his career.

He works hard and defends fiercely. In the second year of his career, he miraculously entered the best team of the year!

Although this is because Jordan retired and Drexler was injured and did not play much games.

But then again, there are so many defenders in the league, why does this kid get the glory?

Why can't you, Payton, take advantage of the opportunity and make a run?

Therefore, if a madman can join a group, he is lucky, but his strength is also somewhat limited.

This guy started to become abnormal, mainly after Tim Hardaway came to the team.

Sprewell's morale dropped significantly due to the decline in ball rights and tactical status on the offensive end.

The good guy who used to be a serious player on both offense and defense has gradually turned into a bad guy.

Defense is no longer taken so seriously.

Every night he thinks about how to play well, how to get more data, and how to make more money.

Victory? Struggle? These things have long been thrown out of his mind.

Although he started playing well again during his time with the Knicks, he was no longer as brave as he once was due to injuries.

In short, Madman can actually be regarded as a player who reached his peak at the beginning, but only reached his peak for a few years.

The Lakers now have a flawless version of Sprewell.

A madman who just got the best years!

Although his temper is still very explosive and his character still has some minor problems, it has not reached the point where he will be incomprehensible in the future.

The addition of Sprewell will definitely greatly increase the team's strength.

Before McMillan and the old Curry, one was only defensive but not offensive, and the other was only offensive but not defensive.

Now, Sprewell combines the advantages of both.

Let's fly gliders again next season. Shay and Sprewell team up. I still don't believe they can't kill the Mediterranean!

I thought that strengthening Sprewell was all, but I didn't know that the logo man was the same as Shay.

I like to be high and happy all the time.

The day after the draft ended, major media outlets in Los Angeles published a piece of transfer news:

"The Lakers signed and traded, using Divac after his contract expired, for last season's Trail Blazers backup forward Clifford Robinson!"

The Trail Blazers were actually willing to make a deal with the Lakers. This was something no one expected.

After all, the two teams are direct competitors.

Moreover, Divac's performance last season was not outstanding.

Although he was once benched in the playoffs, it was Divac's magic that helped Shea break the game in the crucial fourth quarter of G5.

On the other hand, although Clifford Robinson performed well, Divac did not open up a qualitative gap.

The size is also smaller than Divac.

The Lakers already have two mini big men in AC Green and Perkins, but now they have another player less than 2.10 meters tall.

Is it illegal to be taller than 2.10 meters in Los Santos?

The deal didn't cause much buzz, but Shea thought it was pretty good.

If Shea remembers correctly, it will be the beginning of next season when Clifford Robinson will make great progress!

He averaged 12.4 points per game last season and will become the Sixth Man of the Year averaging 19 points per game next season!

Robinson has made one All-Star appearance in his career, won the Sixth Man of the Year Award once, and was selected to the All-Defensive Team twice.

He is definitely considered a very high-quality role player. People say he is a low-end version of the Roaring God.

The reason why the Trail Blazers are willing to send Robinson away is mainly because Divac's performance when he played against the Bulls last season was too bluffing.

Last season, the Lakers played two games against the Bulls, and Divac averaged 20 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks per game.

He looks like an All-Star center.

The Trail Blazers' biggest opponent now is the Bulls, so they need all the weapons that can deal with the Bulls.

With Divac in charge, they feel relieved!

Because of this, the Trail Blazers would trade with their direct competitors, the Lakers.

A rookie with the 21st overall pick, an unknown substitute.

In the eyes of the outside world, these two reinforcements made by the Lakers are not painful.

But in Shea's view, what the team gets is next year's first-team defender and next season's best sixth man!

The team's strength has risen a lot!

Before, people said that Drexler was Shay's "Assassin" and the Trail Blazers were the Lakers' bad boys.

But now, Shay feels

That glider bastard can't trap him for that long!

Maybe next season, we can promote him!

The offseason has just begun, and Logo Man has already added two more players to the Lakers.

Shay himself is about to upgrade and continue to become stronger.

Moreover, after receiving so many honors before, Shay also redeemed a lot of honor skill points.

Plus five player essences obtained immediately after upgrading.

Shay and the entire Lakers are growing wildly!

Thanks to Mr. Xiaoyao? Suixin for the 9,000 reward, thank you! I also want to thank book friend 20200420215021617 and other bosses for their rewards. Thank you all!
