Guard With a Knife

Kobe Bryant was as excited as he got a coveted toy, and he was so happy.

Ding Dong!

At this moment, Duge's cell phone and Daphne's cell phone rang almost simultaneously.

The two watched separately for a while.

Then Daphne raised her eyebrows and joked: "Mr. Bryant, are you too happy? You have to know... the button to confirm this transaction is in the hands of Mr. Snoopy next to you."

"He has the right to veto the transaction."

Daphne explained.

As soon as this sentence came out, the happy Kobe Bryant immediately put away his festive smile, he turned around and looked at Du Ge with scorching eyes.

"You won't refuse, will you?"

Black Mamba is really worried.

Over the years, thinking day and night, all the time looking forward to the scene of facing the enemy together with the Duke, now finally seeing the light, the two teams have agreed to the subject of the transaction. But the final pass key is still in the hands of Doug, if he says no, there is still no move!

Doug still looked at the transaction message from Thibodeau very seriously.

The price given by the Lakers can be said to be full of sincerity, Paul Gasol, Dwight Howard, and the top ten protection picks in the two years of 2015 and 2017. This is tantamount to personally sending away the strongest inside combination in the league, and it is a hope for reconstruction in the next five years.

The Bulls gave out the contract that has been recognized as **** by Dug and Carlos Boozer. In addition, there was a bonus Asik. After all, the salaries of both parties must be equal, although there is a 125% easing degree. But Howard's annual salary is more than 20 million, and Gasol is also more than 19 million. Both Doug and Boozer are more than seventeen million, so adding an Asik with an annual salary of less than two million is just a balance.

From the perspective of the transaction itself, the Bulls did not lose much.

They got everything they wanted.

Although now, the new season has not played a game, it can already tell the world clearly: Today, Chicago has the strongest inside line.

They not only have the original Tay Gibson and Jokinoah, but now they have Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard.

Even, in a sense, the Bulls' book strength has been strengthened. From a rough estimate, Derek should have the Duke’s eight success strengths, plus two super insiders, it is completely possible to establish a dynasty in the east!

call!

Snoopy exhaled long.

His heart is full of emotions. On the one hand, he thanked the Lakers for the huge sacrifices they made for him: this deal is equivalent to breaking up the F4 that has just been obtained, and he has accepted a huge **** contract that expires in three years. The Lakers' lineup changed from the most luxurious in the league three days ago to a riddled with defects.

On the other hand, he was finally relieved to the Bulls. Chicago has gained a lot in this trade. They are still the most competitive team in the East. Most importantly, Derek is more free. With his ability, he will shine soon!

So, he turned around after a long time of comfort, and he looked at Kobe, who was staring at him with scorching eyes: "Aren’t you going to say goodbye to Pau Gasol now? Don’t tell me, you are a fan of the old and the new. The scumbag."

Hearing this, the black mamba burst into joy.

Then, the mood went down again.

Before Snoopy appeared, Gasol was his most comfortable player. They won back two championship trophies together, and it is deceptive to say that there is no emotion.

But in the past two years, with the decline in record, coupled with the disintegration of old players. Pau Gasol is actually ready to leave. When he was swept by the Thunder last season, he even walked into Kobe's room to discuss his departure.

Now... alas!

Bryant sighed, then he walked out of the room and started to drive to the Spaniard's residence.

Doug gave him four hours to send the confirmation message to Tom Thibodeau at 4:30 in the afternoon.

Before that, he set up a group chat. He started voice chat with Bulls teammates such as Derek Ross, Jokinoa, Ty Gibson, Rol Deng, Jimmy Butler, Kyle Korver.

After confirming the fact that the Duke had left, the content of the conversation was extremely sad. Everyone regretted the Duke's departure to Los Angeles.

In the twenty-minute chat, Derrick Rose said the most, followed by Jokinoa, and then Tay Gibson. They expressed their nostalgia and dissatisfaction respectively.

But in the end, Jimmy Butler said something inexplicable: "I will definitely train harder and improve my voice. I will let you return to Chicago."

This sounds more like an oath, which is quite inconsistent with the sad mood.

Jimmy Butler is a deep-minded guy. He works hard. He is tenacious. He has an indestructible iron bone. Doug likes him very much and knows that he regards himself as an idol and absolute leader.

So, after finishing the group chat, he didn't forget to tell Rose to take care of him a little bit.

...

The heavy transaction was officially announced by the NBA at 5:30 pm on September 25, 2012: the Lakers and the Bulls reached an exchange agreement. Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard and the top ten protection picks in the first round of 2015 and 2017 were sent to Chicago.

Chicago gave out their superstar league appearance Snoopy, Carlos Boozer and Asik.

When this shocking deal came out, the entire basketball circle went crazy for it.

After all, this is about the two-time Finals MVP deal. Snoopy has become the de facto No. 1 in the league.

Never before in the history of the NBA has such an amazing deal occurred. It's like giving away Michael Jordan, who has just completed two consecutive championships.

"The Lakers finally got Snoopy. Kobe Bryant, the infatuated suitor, finally got his true love after four years. It's just...Does the Lakers still have the power to fight?"

Basketball forums are full of such remarks.

Most of the comments are saying that the Lakers and Kobe are well-known, and they also question whether the Lakers' current lineup can impact the championship. After all... After Gasol and Howard left, the only players the Lakers could play were Black Mamba, Duke Dog, half Boozer and half Nash. Because before this deal, the Lakers had already given out most of their immediate combat power in order to get Howard.

"Undoubtedly, this is a crazy gamble. In order for the Lakers to get Snoopy all the studs, this makes it difficult for them to even put together a complete lineup in the new season. In contrast, from the transaction itself, I am more willing to say this. It’s an all-out victory for Chicago,"

ESPN commented immediately.

Subsequently, TNT, NBC and other big media followed up, and soon the global media were enthusiastically reporting this matter.

The influence of the duke is amazing.

Moreover, when he returned from Chicago to Los Angeles, the global entertainment capital, the radiation produced was unparalleled.

Because before that, in the public mindset: Duke Snoopy should be linked to Hollywood. Now, he just returned to his stage.

Now... I finally got my wish.

...

When the whole world was eagerly discussing the deal, Kobe Bryant put on a brand new suit and appeared in front of the media the next afternoon.

His face was filled with a smile that couldn't hide, and he looked like a bride preparing for the wedding ceremony.

"Duke Dog plus Black Mamba, you will not find a more dreamy combination than this in the entire history of basketball. Believe us, we are walking together not for a championship trophy."

"I am not worried about our lineup at all. The whole world knows that Snoopy can play well in many positions. Earlier today, I had already talked to Stephen Nash on the phone. He is confident about the next season. I have also been waiting for the opportunity to cooperate with Snoopy."

"You will soon see how the three regular season MVP winners play, I don't want to talk about show-time. But the Lakers season ticket holders, your eyes are about to enjoy the fantasy performance."

"In addition, I must tell you sincerely. There are already countless agent calls into the cell phone of Buzz or Kupchak. Many players can't wait to stand with us. They all know where the championship trophy is. recent."

Kobe Bryant is beaming, he even whistles with joy~www.ltnovel.com~ If conditions permit, he doesn't mind performing his dance skills.

If the joy of the black mamba is not unexpected, the boiling of the entire California media can be said to be beyond imagination.

The return of the Duke makes all media dance for it, whether it is television media, entertainment media, sports media or some street newspaper. All the headlines are locked on the little Duke. As long as you are in Southern California, no matter you open any newspaper or open any TV station, it must be Duke Snoopy.

Some economists have calculated data that the arrival of the little duke is enough to drive the entire California media industry to soar up by ten percentage points. His improvement in employment and economics will appear at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

"He originally belonged to Los Angeles. We knew his story when he was still studying. He is like a king who fought all over the world. He will eventually return triumphantly and return to his own country after he lays down the territory outside. !"

Jr. Buzz’s speech in the media resolved the question of who is the leader of the Lakers.

In fact, no one is involved in this matter at all. Although Bryant was once accused of being a selfish star for falling out with Shaker. But everyone believed that when he faced Snoopy, it would be different. His dog licking behavior over the years even made people doubt his morals.

"We will hold a grand welcome ceremony on October 3, welcome everyone!"

Little Buss' last words made the whole city boil.

Actually, before that. The Lakers' ticket system has been robbed and paralyzed. Even if the club quietly increased the price three times, it failed to reduce the Los Angelesers' determination to enter the United Center Arena.

After all, that's Snoopy!

That's the little duke everyone is thinking of!
