NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 87 Zijin Dynasty, Started by Me!
The fans in the United States expressed the two deals of the Lakers: I don't understand!
No matter from which angle you look at it, it's a bloody deal!
"Unbelievable, Jerry West dismantled the team like a big sale at a loss!"

"Yeah, look at their roster last season and look at their roster now.

"In almost a week, the Lakers replaced all the core players who made it to the postseason last season."

"In exchange, there are only two rookies, one marginal player, and two veterans!"

The major media in the United States, as soon as the transaction happened, rated the Lakers' operations one after another.

"I can only give the Lakers a C grade for this deal, and it's still for the sake of two draft picks."

There is no doubt that the highest is a C.

Just look at the ridiculous things the Lakers did this summer when free agency opened.

first deal.

With one kick, he could sign super center Shaquille O'Neal, but he changed hands and sent the Sharks to Philadelphia.

Secondly, the All-Star center Divac was sent away, only in exchange for Lin Hong, the No. 96 pick in [-], and two first-round picks from Philadelphia.

Look at the second transaction.

Sent away the two All-Star potential guards-Nick Van Exel + Eddie Jones, only exchanged for a young high school student Kobe and a first-round pick.

At the same time, he took two veteran contracts-Dell Curry + Kenny Smith.

The Lakers are going to carry out charity to the end!
These two old guys are about to retire, and the gas tank is almost bottomed out, so they are just sitting on the bench and waving towels in exchange.

Therefore, the Lakers used two All-Stars just to change a high school student.

Although Kobe is a talented high school student in Pennsylvania, he is still a high school student after all, and he has never even played in the NCAA.

Entering the NBA in advance, it is estimated that it will take a few years to polish, which is not the best choice in the eyes of many experts.

"Let's take a closer look at the Lakers' showmanship."

In the evening sports express column, ESPN experts began to analyze:

"In my opinion, the best choice for the Lakers should be to sign Shaquille O'Neal and keep the original lineup."

"No, no, there are better options.

The Lakers can sign Shaq, trade Fan Maniac, and trade Jason Kidd from Dallas. "

Form a luxurious lineup of Kidd + Jones + Divac + Sharks, double guards + twin towers.

Absolutely has the strength to reach the Western Conference Finals.

"In short, the worst choice should be to send three All-Star players, but in exchange for two rookies and two old guys."

Another expert smiled and shook his head: "I don't think the combination of Lin Hong + Kobe Bryant is not good enough, the core is younger and more talented."

"It's just slightly inferior to the combination of Jason Kidd and Shaquille O'Neal!"

For a while there were different opinions.

Many fans have given their own choices.

After seeing this news, Lin Hong also had his own opinion.

His idea is: Kidd + Kobe + Sharks, trade Divac, keep Eddie Jones.

In the early stage, Jones took the bottom line first, giving Kobe time to develop wretchedly.

The lineup of Kidd + Kobe + O'Neal will definitely be a nightmare in the future.

But Lin Hong was very much in favor of Logo Man's operation.

Give up the shark, and choose to win yourself, who not only has the ability of the peak shark, but also has the power of the dreamy footsteps.

Isn't it much stronger than a simple shark?

The Lakers are obviously preparing to build a new championship team around themselves.

So looking at the rookies of the 96th class, who else has the most potential guard?
Allen Iverson?It counts as one, but the height is obviously flawed.

Kobe Bryant is definitely one of the best.

In Logo Man's view, the LK chat group came to the Lakers, got along day and night, grew up together, and the tacit understanding was full. After two or three years, it is absolutely limitless.

more importantly.

The first talented high school guard + the first champion in China, this gimmick alone is enough to make the Lakers' attention in the new season explode.

Tianchao Market + Los Angeles Market + Naka Combination.

This is no more simple and rude than Kidd + O'Neal, which stimulates the ball market.

Of course, Shaquille O'Neal was the most injured.

After all, before Lin Hong concluded the deal, O'Neal had a good chat with Jerry West, hooking shoulders.

He's already driving a pickup truck to Los Angeles to pick up money and pretty girls.

The result was a backstab.

The Lakers sent him to Philadelphia for a rookie.

Knowing that he was traded to Philadelphia, the Sharks became furious. When interviewed by the media, they clamored unabashedly:
"Jerry West and the Lakers will regret it, they missed a super center, and even the cornerstone of the dynasty!"

Just the domineering and sideways words of rushing towards the shark.

All media, experts and even fans are looking forward to the first game between the Lakers and Philadelphia in the new season.

Was it the big shark that tore the Celestial Behemoth into pieces?
Or did the celestial behemoth stomp the big shark on the ground and explode it with a hammer?

Wait and see!
In any case, the two young rookies of the Lakers have earned enough attention.

People began to look forward to: Will the Lakers, who have avoided all the correct answers, get beaten up in the new season?

Los Angeles dual-core, will it be unacceptable on the NBA stage?
Will Shaq O'Neal hold a grudge and beat Lin Hong face to face!
"Lin, Kobe, welcome to the Great Western Forum!"

America.

Los Angeles.

Great Western Forum.

When Lin Hong and Kobe walked into the arena together, Jerry West and rookie fisher Fisher had been waiting for a long time.

Under the leadership of Logo Man, Lin Hong, Kobe Bryant and Fisher visited the Great Western Forum Arena together.

This arena has entered the countdown of his career.

In 1999, the Staples Center Arena was about to be born, becoming the memory and symbol of an era.

Closer to home.

At this time, eleven championship banners in the history of the Lakers are flying over the Great Western Forum.

"As you know, the Los Angeles Lakers don't have a tradition of winning division titles."

Seeing everyone looking up at the championship banner in unison, Jerry West's eyes flashed a little lonely, and he said to himself:

"Don't look at the championship flag flying on it, but there is only one related to me!!"

"The most I have won in my playing career is the division championship, but none of these flags are hung on it!"

Speaking of Logo Man's playing career, it is indeed quite sad.

The career finals record is only a poor 9-of-1.

Of course, it is estimated that only I, Ke, is worse than him. In terms of giving birth to a son, he is 4 out of 0, and the hit rate is 0!

West reached the championship 9 times in his career, but only won one championship.

Even in 1969, he became the uncrowned king of the first loser FMVP in NBA history!
of course.

The overall runner-up will not eclipse West's brilliant player career, but adds a touch of legend.

It's just that the Lakers' tradition of never flying the banner of the division championship makes the old man feel a little lost.

If it wasn't for building a team around Lin Hong and taking down Kobe, West wouldn't want to talk to his rival Auerbach at all.

After all, he entered the finals 9 times and fell on the Celtics 5 times!
"But the banner above seems to have not been updated for a long time."

Seemingly aware of the slight sadness of the Logo man, Lin Hong decisively changed the subject:
"The most recent flag dates back to the 1987-88 season, which is almost 9 years old."

Just like Lin Hong said.

The last glory of the Los Angeles Lakers stopped in that distant summer.

That year, the Lakers successfully defended their title and were extremely brilliant.

Unexpectedly, it was indeed the beginning of a turn from prosperity to decline.

Immediately afterwards, the group of bad boys of the Detroit Pistons turned out and entered the stage of history.

Then came the era of Michael Jordan.

With Magic Johnson retiring for Ai, Skyhook Kareem retiring and Cobra James Worthy retiring.

Since the 90s, the Lakers have quietly fallen and withdrew from the championship competition.

The championship banner over the Great Western Forum Arena has not been increased for nine seasons.

"Yeah, that's why I tried every means to trade you to the team."

The slight sadness on Jerry West's face flashed away, and his eyes were burning: "Lin, I believe that you and Kobe will lead the Lakers back to the championship stage and take back the championship that belongs to them."

"It's time for an update."

Seeing the championship flag fluttering above the arena, Lin Hong could not help but muttered, feeling a sense of mission.

Turning around, he gave the Logo man a firm look, and vigorously embezzled Lao Zhan's classic line: "Not1, Not2, Not 3...Not7!!"

The smile on the corner of Jerry West's mouth became more and more obvious.

"By the way, you haven't decided on your jersey number yet, have you?"

Jerry West pointed to the retired jerseys on the other side of the arena:
"Lin, Kobe, we not only have more championship banners, but also have as many retired jersey numbers."

"I hope, when you retire, there will be your jerseys flying!!"

Although the Lakers' jersey retirement conditions are very harsh.

However, in the glorious history of the Zijin Army, there are still many numbers that have been retired.

Such as West, Chamberlain, Baylor, Goodwin, Wilkes, Johnson, Worthy, Kareem and so on.

"I choose the number 34 jersey."

Lin Hong thought for a few seconds and gave his answer directly.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

First of all, the Lakers' No. 34 jersey should have belonged to Shaquille O'Neal.

As a result, by mistake, the sharks left Philadelphia.

Then this number 34 is also vacant.

Lin Hong's ability to come to the Lakers has an inseparable relationship with O'Neal.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Hong traded for Sharks alone.

In addition, what Lin Hong got at the beginning was the peak shark talent.

Combining these two reasons, it is reasonable for Lin Hong to choose the No. 34 jersey.

"What about you, Kobe!" Jerry West cast his eyes on another young boy - Kobe Bryant.

Kobe was silent for a long time, then raised his head, gritted his teeth: "I choose No. 8.

I'm going to try to catch up with others and get enough status. "

"can."

Jerry West patted Lin Hong and Kobe's strong arms successively, his eyes full of expectation:
"Lin, from now on, you are the absolute core of the team."

"I hope you can join forces with Kobe and fulfill the promise you just made!"

"I believe in you, you can do it!"

And me? ?
Fisher went numb for a moment, feeling a little redundant.

Fisher = Pharaoh next door = Wang Duoyu.

Perfect closure, no problems!
……

Ps: Going to work on crutches tomorrow, I am touched by the leader! !
