Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

We went back to the locker room to tidy up, and everyone was in a good mood.

Waiting until night, Li Shengli and Kobe changed into formal clothes, made an appointment and ran to the door of Phil Jackson's residence, waiting to set off together.

"You guys..." Phil Jackson saw Li Shengli and Kobe Bryant in straight suits, while he was in casual clothes. He was stunned unconsciously and said, "Why are you dressed so formally? You two are going to get married tonight. Register?"

"Are we getting married?" Kobe rolled his eyes and said, "Damn~~ Didn't you tell us to be more formal? Lee and I have been to the old Buss' house before. The coach at that time was Harris. We were very casual. , if it weren’t for you tonight, we wouldn’t even bother to go!”

"Okay, pretend I didn't say it, don't be late, let's leave now!" Jackson walked out quickly, and the three of them took a car to drive to Old Bass's home, but halfway along the way, Jackson didn't seem to be at ease. He said: "Lee, you are much older than Kobe. I think you do a good job in dealing with others. Talk to Jerry and Jim later. Don't let them talk to me too much. I Very annoying.”

You're annoying?

Damn it, why didn’t you think it would bother you, old cow, when you ate grass that wasn’t very tender?

Li Shengli was sitting in the back seat holding back his laughter, but Kobe Bryant, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was already laughing. He never thought that Phil Jackson would have such a day.

"Who asked you to be more philanthropic? You asked me to talk to old Bass more. What should I talk about? What can he do if I ride on horseback and talk about how he can have a grandson?!" Li Shengli rolled his eyes countless times and said: "Oh, by the way, Wei Aren’t they going to go?”

"I'm definitely going. The core members of the team are all going tonight, including West and Johnson!" Jackson said.

"That's fine. Everyone knows in their hearts that Old Bass won't talk about you and Jenny in public." Li Shengli said. Jackson thought that was the case, and the three of them rushed all the way to Old Bass's manor villa. .

…

The entire villa area of ​​the Bass family is still very large.

In terms of area, it is actually not as good as the four contiguous villa areas owned by Li Shengli in Greenville. But then again...the land in Los Angeles is so precious that Greenville cannot compare, and the three of them walked into the living room. By the time, West and Johnson had arrived.

"You are finally here!" West hugged everyone one by one.

"Phil, as well as Lee and Kobe, you two played a great game today!" Magic Johnson paid attention to social distance for special reasons, but he had nothing to do with his family. Li Shengli saw a man standing next to Magic Johnson A little girl of three or four years old with pigtails.

"Oh, this is your daughter? The little one is so cute. Come on, uncle, give me a hug!" Li Shengli called Johnson's daughter to come over and give her a hug to get acquainted. Thinking about it, little Curry, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, should be better than Magic. The teacher's daughter is still a little older. If we can get a pair together in the future... Well, this little girl is a bit darker, but I don't know why she always feels weird about her bones!

"Damn, Li, what's that look in your eyes..." the magician said with a dark look on his face.

"Li, don't scare the child, give it to me, give me a hug too!" However, before the magician could finish his words, Kobe shouted that he wanted to hug the child too. He looked very happy after taking the child from Li Shengli's big hand. After wandering around for a while, he put the child down and said, "Look, what a beautiful little girl. She is better than a daughter, better than...hey..."

"Hey...fuck!" Kobe was frightened.

"What the hell are you saying dirty words in front of the child!" Li Shengli patted Kobe.

"No, how come he has...has..."

"What? What a mess!" Li Shengli didn't know how Kobe could be so reckless, but in fact... As soon as Kobe put the child down, the child took off his pants and peed wildly at the door of Old Buss' living room. Kobe was struck by lightning on the spot, and Li Shengli almost went crazy: "Hey, shit...there is..."

Oh shit!

Obviously wearing a small skirt and braided hair?

This, this, this... why is this still a little guy?

Maybe Kobe was too surprised. Johnson was very angry and fired wildly at Kobe. Kobe, as if he had stepped on a landmine, hid crazily behind Li Shengli.

"Oh my God, hurry up, Li, stop this little guy!"

"Your uncle, Kobe!" Li Shengli went crazy, and the clothes he just changed were almost eaten all over.

Fortunately, some unscrupulous old guys in West laughed for a long time, and Magic raised Johnson's pants and said: "You deserve it, you two are his uncles, what are you looking at me?" Can’t you see that he’s my son? Stop talking nonsense and go in!”

Is this your son?

Ghosts can tell that you are a son!

Li Shengli and Kobe felt that the world was too crazy. Fortunately, Johnson didn't care about such things. Instead, they felt that their son had done a great job. When he grows up...then his son would have peed on the two core members of the Lakers dynasty. The first person.

"This little guy... it's unbelievable. How could he raise his son like this? Will it be possible to grow up in this kind of environment..." Li Shengli and Kobe muttered a few words behind, and because they just asked little Curry and this little guy I had the right idea, and I instantly felt very sorry for Little Curry...Uncle, you are guilty!

"Don't say anything, don't say anything, I know!"

"Really, when I give birth to a son in the future, I swear...I will never let him wear a skirt or braid his hair. This is definitely not what a man should do, even if he is only three or four years old."

"Come on, you should have a son before you start riding!"

"Hmph, what's so difficult about this? Let's go, go in first!"

…

There was a commotion at the door for a while, and everyone finally entered the living room. As the host, Old Buss invited all the players and main players of the Lakers to this dinner, so Jim and Jenny, two people who have entered the team management, were also present. members, which can be regarded as enhancing the relationship between the two and the core team.

The Buss family's financial resources are not top-notch among NBA owners, but there are benefits to running a franchise. Buss Sr. is very attentive to team building, and Li Shengli and Kobe Bryant, who won the Lakers' Triple Crown dynasty, are both there tonight. , so old Bass seemed particularly happy.

As for Phil Jackson, he really thinks too much.

Although he was sitting next to Jenny under the nose of old Buss, old Buss did not mention a word. Instead, he brought the topic to this playoffs, and it is obvious that... old Buss is better than anyone else. We always pay attention to results, because the Lakers are about to compete for their fourth consecutive championship across the century.

As soon as we turned to work, everyone immediately had more topics to talk about.

Phil Jackson showed great confidence, and both West and Johnson also talked about their opinions... And this time the Western Conference rankings, from top to bottom, are the Lakers, Jazz, Spurs, Trail Blazers, Suns, Super League Sonics, Timberwolves and the Mavericks, who just qualified today.

Beat the Mavericks in the first round.

Judging from today's performance, Phil Jackson is determined...Old Nelson's only way is to increase the speed as much as possible like the crazy 18 minutes in the second and third quarters today.

But the problem is that the price of speeding up comes with huge risks.

If the Mavericks feel is slightly frustrated, it will definitely be a self-destruction situation, and it will be useless even if the feel can be as good as today, because by then Kobe will no longer need to focus on his shots, and the Lakers' offense will no longer need to speed up.

Only with good touch can you tie with the Lakers. As long as the efficiency is normal, the Lakers will beat them. Phil Jackson was so sure about the first round that he could say in front of Buss that the Lakers had advanced.

As for the second round…

The Trail Blazers and Suns will play first. Which team can advance is a topic discussed by West and Jackson. However, several people still think that the Trail Blazers have a higher chance. After all, the Trail Blazers already have four teams on paper. Players with an annual salary of tens of millions are Pippen, Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudemire and Sabonis, plus a shooting guard Steve Smith worth 7 million.

There is no doubt that this is the most expensive lineup in the league.

Even the Lakers' lineup last season was not as expensive as the Trail Blazers, because the Trail Blazers only had five players who took up 52 million in space, and the Lakers' total salary that season was only that much. The comparison is extremely terrifying.

Although the gradually lost Pippen took nearly 15 million in annual salary, which made the Blazers feel a bit cheated by the Rockets, but no matter what, Pippen is still better than the average player... And if this is the most expensive in the league The lineup couldn't even make it past the second round, so the Blazers were really a loser.

As for the Lakers playing the Trail Blazers.

A great lineup doesn't necessarily have to be expensive, and an expensive lineup doesn't necessarily have to be great. Everyone agrees that the Blazers, who can waste their money, should learn a bloody lesson.

Then there's the Western Conference Finals.

There is a high probability that the Jazz and the Spurs will play in the second round. Putting aside the declining Rockets, the Jazz and the Spurs are already old rivals. It is hard to say which team will advance, but what can be said... They are old rivals in the Western Conference. There are also the Lakers, and neither the Jazz Spurs nor the declining Rockets have been able to benefit from the Lakers.

As long as the big lineup and the core of the team remain unchanged.

The core members of the Lakers present agreed that...the difficulty of the Western Conference Finals is not the most difficult. The biggest thing is that after passing the Western Conference Finals, they may encounter the Celtics who are making a comeback.

You know, the strength of the Lakers lineup this season has been weakened. Whether it is Barkley's retirement or Ben's departure, everyone must face it, but compared with last year... the Celtics will only be stronger, no will become weaker.

Although there is a possibility that the Celtics will miss the mark and withdraw from the finals, the Lakers' fourth championship cannot be pinned on the opponent's defeats and mistakes. If they insist on winning the second championship without Barkley, then The great enemy at that time was not the Celtics who are now in full swing.
