After the game, West of the Lakers also came to talk to Kobe specifically, hoping that Kobe would switch to the Lakers after his rookie contract ended. Unfortunately, Kobe said, "Unless the New York Hans no longer need me, I will never do it."

I won't leave New York" and he declined politely.

It was only given to Kobe by the New York Hans. The Lakers really couldn't give it. Take the boss of the team as an example. The Lakers already have a superstar player like O'Neal. Of course, he is also the boss of the team. If Kobe goes

In Los Angeles, who is the boss?

You know, in his previous life, Kobe had a heated argument with O'Neal for the leadership of the team.

Now the New York Hans made Kobe the boss when they first came up. How much trust does this require? If Kobe had a conscience, he would not leave the New York Hans voluntarily.

But for West, perhaps Kobe Bryant being kidnapped by Bruce in advance may be a "pain" in his life.

And Kobe's performance in the summer league is indeed worthy of Bruce's No. 4 high pick, and of course it is inseparable from the old gangster's teachings!

…

The management of the New York Hans has been a management that has been discussed a lot by the media and fans in recent years.

why?

Because the management of the New York Hans does nothing!

From the establishment of the New York Hans in 1992 to now, let’s calculate how many operations the New York Hans have made every year.

How many capable players can be obtained from transactions each year?

What most media and fans see is the draft picks each year, and nothing else.

Occupying the most prosperous area in the league, they have always had the lowest results in the league. Except for reaching the playoffs once, they have basically been at the bottom in other seasons. This is probably the portrayal of the current New York Hans team.

.

Last season, the New York Hans' total salary was US$27.6 million, while the league's salary cap was US$23 million.

You must know that in New York at the beginning, compared with the Knicks' total salary of 38.59 million US dollars, the Han team is really "short and poor"!

Moreover, the players of the Hanren team are not fixed every year. After calculation, from its establishment to the present, there are still a few familiar players left in the team...

If you change the lineup after one year of playing, and change the lineup after playing in one face, you will never be able to compete for a championship after playing for the rest of your life.

Without a fixed lineup, no matter how good the tactics are, it is useless to say anything.

Therefore, the Han Chinese team's record last season was the third-worst in the league during the regular season and the second-last in the Eastern Conference.

In fact, this is also related to the policy issued by Bruce last season. If that incident had not occurred, judging from the strength of the Han Chinese team last season, there would definitely be no big problem in reaching the playoffs.

Therefore, in the eyes of most media and fans, Bruce's New York Hans are just messing around in the past few years. Compared with their "brothers from the same city" the Knicks, the Hans are indeed a bit sorry to continue to stay in the city of New York...

Of course, although the New York Han Chinese team has not done much in recent years, but being located in a super metropolis like New York, the tickets are still not sold out. Coupled with Bruce's local influence in New York, even if the Han Chinese team's results are worse, they will not be able to sell out.

The venue was packed!

And even if most people support Bruce and the New York Hans, these fans of the NBA team will definitely attribute the team's record over the years to the management's inaction.

Because they have not signed those capable free agents in the free market in recent years, and because they have taken players from the team bit by bit to trade draft picks every year, in the final analysis, the source of all disasters is the management of the Han Chinese team

.

Soria, Han Chinese team general manager Mitch Kupchak got his wish and took on the role of "scapegoat"!

Although the management of the Hanren team signed several players in this summer's free market this year, let's take a look at what they signed. Buck Williams, he can still play for a few more years, and Dan Marley

, he is indeed in his prime, but look at this All-Star player now playing as a substitute for Kobe, a high school rookie, isn't this nonsense?

All-star players coming off the bench for rookies?

This is the first time in the history of the NBA. If you say that some well-known players who have played in the league for several years are used as substitutes, it is okay. It is really unheard of for an All-Star in his peak period to be a substitute for a rookie...

The Seattle SuperSonics have quite a few All-Stars on the bench, but either they have overlapping positions, or they have to come off the bench because they are past their prime!

But the New York Hans are special. They have rookies in charge this year, and all-star players are playing for these rookies. You think they are awesome or not...

Anyway, the fans need such a punching bag to vent their anger. Congratulations, Mr. Mitch Kupchak, the general manager of the Han Chinese team, you won the lottery. The prizes given to you are still very rich. What kind of blade? Xiang.

Ah, pig heads, etc., everything is there without any repetition...

Recently, Mitch Kupchak has been equipped with bodyguards before he even dares to go out.

New York fans are so crazy!

Just look at the Knicks in the previous life and you will know that these fans will boo if they play poorly. This is something only New York fans can do.

…

General Manager's Office, Island Garden Arena.

Mitch Kupchak and head coach Paul Westphal carefully discuss the team's roster positions for the new season.

"Although the prince did not specifically ask for results this year, he still said that he would arrange for Kobe Bryant and Jermaine O'Neal to have enough time to play in the game."

"Needless to say, Kobe Bryant's performance in the summer league has already shown the problem. The main problem now is Jermaine O'Neal. He can only be Garnett's substitute. If it is suitable, Paul, I hope you can give him more.

Arrange a time for him to appear."

After general manager Mitch Kupchak got used to taking the blame, he was still able to continue to carry out the tasks assigned to him by the prince in a serious manner.

The team's head coach Paul Westphal also understands that Jermaine O'Neal is not strong enough to be a starter, and it is even difficult for him to play as a substitute for a long time.

In the summer league, Jermaine O'Neal's shortcomings were undoubtedly exposed. His weight in the interior was not enough to support the team's offense. In addition, his personal offensive shooting rate was low. This can be seen from his average of 8.6 points and 11.2 rebounds per game.

However, Jermaine O'Neal is a strong low-post defender and shot-blocker. He has good team defense, can create collisions, and has good rebounds.

Next, Jermaine O'Neal must gain weight. Jermaine O'Neal, who just graduated from high school, is now too thin.

"So have the starting five been decided?"

Mitch Kupchak cares.

"It's almost the same. In fact, it's roughly the same starting position that Rick arranged in the summer league. Jermaine at the center was replaced by Alonzo, and the other positions remained unchanged."

Paul Westphal is still very satisfied with the team's performance in the summer league and he does not plan to change it.

"Okay, that's it. By the way, there are currently 14 players in the team. The league requires that 12 players must be reported for the game. Who are you going to put on the injured list?"

"Mike Brown and Scott Brooks, they are average in ability and they are also players who are about to retire. They won't say anything if they are put on the injured list."

Head coach Paul Westphal is very familiar with the team's current configuration, and he knows exactly which players can and cannot beat him.

"Okay then, it's settled."

"Paul, try your best to lead the team well in the new season. You must win the games you can win and strive to reach the playoffs again!"
