Chapter 563 The Lakers' plan, the game ends in November
Pat Riley glared at all the Lakers players in anger, and then came to Phil Jackson with dissatisfaction, "I'm so unlucky, God is not on our side tonight."
Phil Jackson smiled, "Only the weak will make excuses for losing. Today we didn't even play 80% of the level, and you fell down. Oh, it really disappoints me." The Zen master looked like he wanted Pat Riley to beat the other party, a damn bastard. Didn't he just win a game?
F4 scored a total of 80 points in this game, while other Lakers players added less than ten goals. On the other hand, with Li Lei's connection, the team scored 6 players in double digits, of which three of them scored 20. And the most important thing is that the 11 people on the Lakers played, each of which contributed, which is what makes the Zen master the most satisfied.
Li Lei scored 35 points and 15 assists in this game, but his mistakes were still zero. On the other hand, Payton, who faced him, scored 15 points and 7 assists, but there were 2 mistakes. Although there were not many two mistakes in one game, for an opportunist like Li Lei, there were enough two mistakes.
Because the opponent can seize every mistake you make and fight to the death, and he will minimize the mistakes. The current point guard's style of playing is not the scoring type of later generations. No matter how many mistakes you make, you can make up for it with scores. The current point guard still has relatively high requirements for the organization. Of course, point guards like Li Lei will not be outdated in any era, just like a super center will not fall behind in any era.
The Lakers' unbeaten golden body was broken, and Los Angeles fans began to feel complicated again.
And within the Lakers, Jerry Bass gathered people for a small meeting.
"What do you think are the chances of us winning the championship this season?"
Mickey Kupchek didn't say anything, he looked at Pat Riley. Although he is still the Lakers' general manager this season, it is just a decoration, because the signings and other tricks are decided by the magicians. Now that the Lakers have lost to the Bulls again in the regular season, the blame will definitely not be himself.
The magician took a deep breath, "Although we are known as F4, the cooperation and collaboration of the entire team are more than the Bulls, and we can't even compare to Boston, because they are both giant teams, our giants are too old. If we win the championship, about 50%. If we meet the Celtics in the finals, I think it's 70%, but if we meet the Bulls, it's good to have five, because Bruce is a gamer with Tianke Gary and Jason. Oh, if I have such a king in my hand, it's okay to win ten championships."
Haha, I care again. I'm lewd. If Li Lei can come to the Lakers, will the Lakers still want you? I can be a head coach on the sidelines. Anyway, it would be OK to hand over the ball to Li Lei. It would be bad. At the least, setting a pick-and-roll tactic. Jerry Bass was a little disappointed. He thought that the arrival of the magician would allow the Lakers to get rid of the spell against the Bulls, but in this game Li Lei used his data to tell the Lakers that when it comes to playing against the Los Angeles team, no point guard would have more experience than him.
"However, we are not without a chance, because Bruce has not renewed his contract with Chicago at the moment, and his contract will expire next season."
Mickey Kupchek mentioned, the contract will expire next season? Jerry Bass' eyes lit up. If the Lakers get Li Lei in a year and form a dual-core lineup with Kobe, then they will definitely be invincible in the league.
"But Kobe's contract collided with Bruce. If we go to the free market to grab Bruce in 2004, what will happen to Kobe's contract?"
Pat Riley's mind is very clear. If Kobe and Li Lei can really form the backcourt, ten consecutive championships are really not a dream, and the relationship between them is pretty good, and they have a strong defense. If they are really together, they will really surpass Jordan and Pippen.
"Wait and see, if Kobe continues to show this level in the next two seasons, it is not a problem to give him a decent contract, but if Bruce really has the chance to get it, we can't let it go."
Jerry Bass' eyes were full of glare. He knew very well what the word Li Lei meant. In less than three seasons in the league, this guy has become the hottest presence in the NBA. Of course, it is unique in the entire sports circle. Just look at Converse and you will know that before he signed the contract, the brand was bullied by Adidas and Nike and was about to go bankrupt. As a result, after he signed the contract, Converse had already rejuvenated new vitality. This was even more vivid than Jordan's joining Nike back then.
Li Lei did not care about the rumors from the outside world, and he did not renew his contract in advance. It was the same every day. Li Lei had long been used to it. He just wanted to take the initiative in his own hands, but he had to win the championship this season.
The Bulls' West Trip has three games left, and after these three games, the game this month is over.
The first thing we have to play is the Kings, who are both teams in the Pacific Division, but the Kings have not changed much this season, except that they got Brad Miller in the free market and traded Tkoglu to the Spurs.
These two deals did not cause any noise. The Kings' current record is 8-4, and they have no edge from the previous two seasons.
The game was not fierce. Although the Kings persisted until the fourth quarter, they still lost the game.
After playing against the Kings, the Bulls came to Texas to challenge the remaining two opponents, the Mavericks and the Spurs.
The Mavericks got Antoine Walker, Tony Delk from the Celtics this season, and sent them out Lafrenz and others. Judging from the current results, the Mavericks are undoubtedly making money, and this game has proved this point. Fatto, who always lives at the three-point line, finally got a three-pointer in this game. He scored 4 three-pointers in this game, allowing the Mavericks to win the Bulls at home. The Bulls' winning streak was ended.
The Bulls were not depressed. It was too unrealistic to maintain a complete victory in this consecutive away game. In the last game of the Spurs, the Zen master chose to rest because the Spurs gave up treatment this season. After Duncan left the Spurs freely, the Spurs dreamed of returning to the 96-97 season. Unfortunately, they could no longer find Duncan's most selfless super giant in history.
Anthony scored another 30 in this game, which is his fourth time in the season. With this, he continues to rank first in the rookie list, which makes Stern very upset.
