Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

This dinner was not a formal meeting. The core members of the Lakers just sat together to chat about the playoffs. After waiting for a while, Buss excused himself and left...

Jim Buss sat next to Kobe. He didn't know what he was talking about, but he seemed very happy. Jenny Buss also held Jackson's arm and sat next to Li Shengli, chatting about some family matters.

Originally, it was nothing to do with everyone playing in the playoffs together.

But the problem is... Jenny and Jim chose two core players, Li Shengli and Kobe Bryant, to chat with each other one after another. When they were a little too enthusiastic, Li Shengli glanced over and saw that West and Johnson had strange expressions on their faces.

Until old Bass came back, the dinner was over and everyone was preparing to leave.

While Phil Jackson was driving, Li Shengli walked next to West and Johnson and asked about the situation. Johnson walked away without saying a word, leaving the short conversation time to Li Shengli and West. .

"Why do I feel weird?"

"Ahem, are you serious, or do you just feel it?" West said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, Jerry is old, and someone will definitely take over from him in the future, so Jenny and Jim both want to It doesn't matter if you perform better or be enthusiastic at all. You can understand Jerry's assessment of the two of them at this dinner and even for a long time to come."

"Assessment, damn, Gong Du?!"

"What?" West was stunned for a moment because Li Shengli just spoke in Chinese.

"Nothing!" Li Shengli scratched his head and continued to ask: "Isn't that right... Kobe and I are just players, and the power of the management is in your hands. Why are they looking for us instead of you?"

"Damn, you underestimate your right to speak too much."

West glanced at no one around and said: "Think about it... If they want to perform better, they must come up with some suggestions and operations that are beneficial to the team. Jerry did not give them too many rights. Then They need support, and my butt is sitting in the middle. Together with Jerry, they can't fight for much. What really matters is you, whether it is the management, coaching staff or core players."

"Then Johnson..." Li Shengli thought of Magic Johnson who just ran away.

"He and Jenny are close, do you understand what I mean?"

"Damn, then he's on the team now?" Li Shengli thought...Rodman back then, Phil Jackson now, I don't know if Jenny meant to win over subjectively, but objectively for the development and interests of the team They are all good things and have made contributions, and now Magic Johnson is getting closer to Jenny, so Jim's power space in the team seems very small, right?

"Given the situation, Jim is still fighting for Old Bass's position?!"

"Yes, you are right, but Jerry likes Jim better. He feels that Jim is more like when he was young. Maybe before he retires, he would like the situation to be more balanced, so Jenny does not always have the upper hand, even if This is the situation now.”

"Balance? Damn, the Emperor's Art?!"

"What did you say again?" West shook his head, "By the way, didn't Jim get you a translator before? This was his not-so-smart gesture of kindness, and your cold treatment was right. Maybe this is it. The reason makes him feel that you are not easy to get along with, and he prefers to get closer to Kobe. But it doesn't matter, you rely on your dominance in the game to speak for yourself. Anyway, remember not to get involved in this kind of thing, just be consistent with me."

"Don't get involved in this matter? It's like no one wants to do it. I'm not that bored!"

"Then it's best. You remember to tell Kobe, don't pay attention to these messy things. It doesn't matter whether you agree with me, but you two brothers must be in the same direction, because that is the future of the team."

"Okay, I'll talk to him!" Li Shengli walked to the door, saw Phil Jackson driving the car, and said to West: "Kobe and I came by car, let's go first!"

"great, see you tomorrow!"

…

Get a ride on Phil Jackson.

In addition to Li Shengli and Kobe, there were also Jackson and Jenny who were driving. The four of them chatted a lot along the way, but they all avoided the topic of the team, and instead the conversation became a nighttime emotional column.

In the circle of ladies and ladies in Los Angeles, Jenny is considered number one, so she is very good at talking about this kind of topics... And Li Shengli's girlfriend Julie has become the housekeeper of the Greenville base camp. She is not in Los Angeles usually, but is Kobe's little girlfriend. Vanessa became Jenny's topic of conversation.

It’s so embarrassing!

Listening to Jenny's talk, Kobe sat in the back row with a stern look on his face and motioned to Li Shengli to drop the topic. After all, his relationship with Vanessa, who was still in school, had not been announced yet. Only Li Shengli and Phil Jackson really knew about it. People, and it is impossible for Li Shengli to say such things to Jenny. The only possibility is that Phil Jackson... leaked the news.

Leak, only once and countless times!

Obviously Phil Jackson leaked more, even the matter of Kobe Bryant's proposal came out, which made Kobe's head big. He felt that Phil Jackson's teeth must be bad and always leaking. Fortunately, the journey back did not count. Yuan and Li Shengli also helped fight Haha, but Jenny’s Bagua fire was put out on the way.

Until 10 o'clock in the evening.

Phil Jackson sent Li Shengli and Kobe home one after another. As he grew stronger, he took Jenny to the night in Los Angeles. After washing, Li Shengli lay on the bed and called Kobe and relayed what West meant.

According to what West said, Jenny and Jim's power grab is most likely true, because controlling the team will allow them to control more wealth and power after the old Bass abdicates. Jenny and Jim both have to fight for it, and it is reasonable. But no matter what, it doesn't have much to do with him. As long as it doesn't affect him, there won't be any problem.

Li Shengli meant not to pay attention to Jenny and Jim's affairs, and the benefits of a usually strong relationship were now revealed... Kobe also said that he and Li Shengli would not get involved in this kind of thing, and no one could say anything.

…

The night passed, and the next day I went to the team to report for training.

Kobe arrived early as always and trained with Crotty.

Although Li Shengli arrived a little later, he was not late. On the contrary, Phil Jackson was rarely late, which surprised everyone. After being late for about half an hour... Phil Jackson, who had a rosy and shiny face, arrived. , and then conducted the day's training and arrangements for the playoffs.

…

You know, the Lakers played the Mavericks in the last game of the regular season.

According to the Mavericks' tactics, Phil Jackson knew without thinking that the first round would be the same this time. After all, the only way the Mavericks could compete with the Lakers was to speed up and speed up with all their strength.

Emphasize the speed of offensive and defensive transitions, partially sacrificing the offensive and defensive capabilities of the half-court position?

Although this method is still in the early stages of theory, as long as the core players' feel is ensured, it is indeed the best way to amplify the team's offensive attributes. At the same time, the fast-playing and fast-defending rhythm can also partially weaken the Lakers' defense.

Especially when Li Shengli is on the court, as long as the Mavericks are fast enough to prevent Li Shengli from participating in the defense, it is logical for the team's offense to amplify. However, it is impossible for the Lakers not to let Li Shengli play.

Phil Jackson thought of everything he could think of.

With no solution for the time being, the Lakers can only strengthen their positional warfare offense and try to prevent the Mavericks' long-distance and fast attacks, but no matter what...the game is ultimately about scoring, and no matter how fast the Mavericks are, they still have to suffer from touch. , and in the half that was partially sacrificed by them, Phil Jackson believed that Li Shengli's offensive ability would be further released, and it would be more terrifying than ever.

So in the pre-game training, everyone else was practicing defense in the pursuit battle, but Li Shengli's task was relatively easy until the first day of the playoffs...

During this period, Li Shengli met Dazhi, and they finally agreed to have a meal together.

But the problem is that Da Zhi didn't seem to be very comfortable in the past few days of training. He was even too tired to say a word, so he didn't come out. And the movements of the Lakers in the past few days made Li Shengli guess right... Old Nelson Da Zhi must be added to the Mavericks' fast break lineup.

Da Zhi joins the fast break lineup?

Li Shengli thought about it. After Da Zhi joined the team, Nowitzki might have to rest, and it would be impossible for Nowitzki not to play. The most likely thing is that he would be arranged to play in the time difference when he was not on the court, and to play in the position after the fast break. battle, and this proves that... Nelson's newly developed rapid break theory may not be implemented to the end, and the Mavericks are not sure about this tactical theory.
