Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Rushing back to Los Angeles from New York.

After the match between the Lakers and the Knicks, the news in all aspects was quite shocking.

First of all, regarding the Sprewell tragedy, no matter what the media didn't say, the opinions among the players are still relatively unified... Just kidding, don't be too clean when playing against the Lakers. You Sprewell is the only one who dares to tease them. , If you don’t get beaten, who will?

Leave aside Sprewell.

The second is the news about new rules that came out after this game.

However, the Lakers are not too worried. On the one hand, it is because the official has not confirmed whether the news is true or false. On the other hand, considering that new regulations are generally announced at the end of the season and implemented in the new season, it should not have too much impact on the Lakers for the time being. Big impact.

…

Back at the Los Angeles base camp, the team's training continued as usual.

After training ended that day and clocked out, general manager West came to see Li Shengli in person. Harris was also called up and went to the general manager's office. After sitting down... West took out a few of today's copies. The newspaper was shown to Harris and Li Shengli.

"What are you doing? Is there anything noteworthy about today's news?" Harris flipped through it and saw that it was all nonsense and no new news. He asked West: "Do you want to say What’s the news about the new rules this time?”

"Obviously yes!" West nodded, "Let's not doubt whether it is true or not. What really puzzles me is that the timing of this news is too coincidental, and now we need a prediction of new regulations and an impact assessment after the new regulations. .”

"Do you need to ask me this? Is your team still unable to do this kind of work?"

"Haha, who makes you the front-line warriors?" West chuckled and asked Li Shengli: "Li, what do you think? If it is true, how much impact will it have on you?"

Li Shengli poured himself a glass of water and then glanced at West.

"It's just a piece of news that has no beginning or end. I don't know the scope and time. It's just to limit back-up play and speed up the pace of the game. What do you want me to say?" After taking a sip of water, Li Shengli continued: "But The problem is not that big, and the new regulations are not just for us, they are effective for the entire league, and it applies to everyone."

After Li Shengli finished speaking, West did not continue to ask.

The entire league knows how terrifying Li Shengli's low post play is. If it is restricted and affected, it may be the Lakers' overall tactics. After all, Harris's coaching rule is one... It all relies on Li Shengli to beat all the opposing centers and create a short-term situation where there is more and less play. , sounds rough, but it turns out that the tactics that are so rough are strong.

Another one is Barkley.

As he approaches the end of his career, he may receive a much greater impact than Li Shengli. After all, when this news came out before, it was directed at his unique butt magic, and what West has to consider is... under the new regulations. How much fighting power can Barkley still have?

But in essence, a strong team is still strong, and a weak team is still weak.

What has really changed is the positional battle between the top core teams. The Lakers, who are currently at the top of the league's core, are more embarrassed, because both Li Shengli and Barkley will be disadvantaged by the new rules and may be reduced from other teams. gap.

The Spurs, Robinson + Duncan in the West.

Celtics, O'Neal + Garnett in the East.

The two teams are listed as the most threatening potential opponents by West's team, and they may be torn apart in recent seasons, so no matter what... West feels that the team should prepare for a rainy day, even if the news has not yet Confirmed.

"Harris..."

"What, what do you think?"

"Well, in the following schedule, under the condition of ensuring the victory of the game, we will choose a few games to try to limit the time behind the basket. We need a more alternative risk assessment. It is definitely good to prepare early. Focus on observing... …Barkley!”

"That's no problem, but I don't understand what your last sentence means. What does it mean to focus on observing Barkley?"

"Ahem, just do as I say. I believe the two of us should agree on this. As for the rest... that's my job."

West and Harris said a few words, and Li Shengli heard West say "his job" on the side, and immediately remembered the little fat man yesterday, and turned to ask West.

"Wait a minute, I wanted to ask you yesterday about why a translator was suddenly added to the press conference. Even if you have any plans, you have to screen it. Take a look at what you found..."

"What's wrong? I feel fine."

Still... quite good?

Everyone was dumbfounded by Li Shengli. After all, Fatty is simply an abnormal human being. He probably felt that there was no domestic media at the scene, so he was more casual. But the problem is... he was a little too casual. He was basically responsible for making jokes, and he also bullied the old Americans. Don't understand Mandarin.

"What, you don't like it?" West was stunned.

"Of course, if you really need translation work, a beautiful girl will definitely be more suitable. After all, Li..." Harris followed up with a tease.

"Damn, coach, can you stop talking nonsense? I just want to know why you suddenly added a translator?" Li Shengli frowned and continued to ask: "Is it because the team's public relations department has nothing to do? The video of this kind of press conference The information also needs to be transmitted to our country?"

"Obviously yes, that's a good start, because our translator is a funny guy, so chubby and cute."

…

Damn it? !

Is this horse riding cute?

Li Shengli was shocked by West's weird statement, but Harris nodded to West to show that he knew, then pulled Li Shengli out and left Li Shengli confused.

"Don't pull me, what's going on with you?"

"Ahem...this...let's talk further away!"

"Damn, what are you doing, so mysterious?"

Harris pulled Li Shengli out, but Li Shengli didn't resist. After all, he was also curious about what happened in the past few days, and why after beating the Knicks...there was so much shit.

"Okay, let's just talk about it." After walking a few steps, the two of them were talking while walking. Li Shengli asked with a puzzled expression: "What on earth are you afraid of being heard?"

"Nonsense. After all, I'm just a senior employee of the team. I don't want to offend anyone." Harris said with an embarrassed look. He and Li Shengli were not the head coach at all. After all, there was no one around. There is no need to be too particular.

"If you say that, then I'm even more curious. What the hell is going on that you, the head coach, have to hide from?"

"Well, I don't know much about the fat translator, but I know that he should be found by Jim Bass. You know... Jim wants to sign all the doormen in the bar to the team's salary. On the list, I don’t doubt he can do that, and his identity is something West can’t refuse.”

The old Bass family?

To be honest, as the absolute core of the Lakers, it is impossible for Li Shengli not to deal with the Buss family, which owns the Lakers. Therefore, he also knows the members of the Buss family, but the relationship is only at a polite level, which is far less than with Weiss. This general manager has a lot to deal with.

"Holy crap, is it so casual?"

"How difficult do you think it is?" Harris scratched his head and said, "You can probably think of this as a family business. The big and small bosses have this right, and Jim is only making small fuss, so it has no impact, but Jenny's side is The fundamentals of our team have been touched upon, although things are currently looking up."

"What's the meaning?"

"You really don't know? I thought you should have the most news among the players in the league. After all, your circle is bigger than anyone else." Harris was a little surprised.

"Well, I basically know everything about the player circle, but...you must know how I was sent away in the Jazz, so I'm not interested in the news from owners like Larry Miller, let alone Old Buss. sons and daughters.”

"Okay!" Harris nodded in understanding.

"To put it simply, Jim Buss only worked for West as a scout last year, but Jeanie Buss had already been involved in management work before you came to the Lakers. Otherwise, why would you think Rodman... Want to come to the Lakers?"

"Does this matter?"

"You don't know this either, Jenny and Rodman... tsk, the two of them had a rather exciting relationship."

…

Damn it, is this okay?

This Rodman must be at least a god of artillery, right?

Li Shengli was convinced when he thought about this guy, "I said what's going on? When I signed Rodman, I didn't expect it. It turned out that his signing was arranged by Jenny, but the problem is... Rodman just wanted the Lakers to give him One of his base salaries?”

"How is it possible? It might be more convenient for him to come to the Lakers... Well, something will happen."

"Otherwise, you don't really think that Rodman sees you as being better at hitting, right? Li, please understand, your butt and Jenny's have completely different attractions for Rodman, uh... different functions , Well, that’s right.”

Get lost, you old bastard!

How old are you and why are you so disrespectful?

Li Shengli scolded him with a dark face, but Harris didn't think anything of it. On the one hand, he had a really good relationship with Li Shengli, and on the other hand, the society here was relatively open-minded, and he could talk about anything.

"What, I feel like you don't believe it?" Harris looked around, lowered his voice and said quietly: "When Jenny first came to the management, I was the head coach here, and he was on our team at that time. I took a full set of photos for the magazine at home, well...I collected a copy of it in my spare time, maybe you will understand Rodman's thoughts after reading it."

"Damn, I didn't know you were so wretched?"

"What are you thinking about? Everyone in the team has seen it. It's pretty good. If you want to see it, I can find it for you and put it in my office." Harris thought for a while and said, "Okay, first. Let’s not talk about it anymore, as long as you know about it, they shouldn’t affect us for the time being.”
