Chapter 184 [I don't live anymore]

Why do people have to work hard in their lives?

Because the most painful thing is not failure, it is me who could have.

The pain of "Little Fish" Derek Fisher comes from his ability to be the Lakers and could have become the third scoring point, but now, he suspects that he will be traded in the summer, which is the gap between heaven and hell.

The Lakers' management does have this consideration. Kupchek's most troublesome job is how to renew Guo Xu. He must find a way to clear the team's salary space next season, otherwise under the limit of the over-salary cap, the Lakers can only offer Guo Xu a middle class at most. It is too easy for other teams to poach people.

This summer, Hores Grant will be vacant for 6.5 million in salary after his contract expires. The Lakers will not renew Grant unless he is willing to sign a veteran's basic salary. Even so, their total salary is much higher than the salary cap. In this way, Kupchek will have to consider trading Horry, who has an annual salary of 5.3 million and Fisher, who has an annual salary of 3 million next season.

It is difficult for Horry to exchange for a valuable expiration contract, and he played well, so the Lakers management is a little reluctant to leave.

As a point guard, Fisher was the first to be the target of the trade. His advantage in staying at the team was that his data was garbage last season. He had been resting for too long this season and had hidden dangers of injury. Other teams were not interested in him, so the Lakers couldn't give it up if they wanted to trade.

As long as Fisher can be sent away, Kupchek is willing to sell out at a loss, not picks, not any opponent's players, or even cash, and can accept any special transaction.

If the Lakers were so generous last summer, the Mavericks would definitely not want Tyrone Lou. Fisher is one step away from replacing Jason Guo alone.

On the 22nd, Fisher came to the training hall and wanted to participate in the team's training, hoping that the coaching staff would allow him to come back early.

NBA is a place of dreams and a place where miracles happen. Fisher firmly believes that he can return to the top.

Although he has averaged only 5.8 points and 4.1 assists per game in his peak season and shot 43.4%, that's not the point. He will let fans see his strong willpower and be amazed by his strong recovery speed and state adjustment ability.

Fisher prepared well at home, changed into the handsomest sportswear, put on lucky sneakers, and took on lucky headbands, and grew a lucky beard. He appeared in front of Phil Jackson with the best mental outlook.

Then, he showed his athletic ability in front of the "Zen Master" and tried hard to promote himself.

"Coach, I'm fine now. I can trot, I can still jump. Oh, jump, if you want to set me up, I can still fly. Do you believe it or not, I can still fly."

English is profound and difficult to translate. This is not Fisher's original words, but it basically means this.

"..." Phil Jackson covered his face with one hand, feeling that Fisher was really distressed and was almost irritated.

Whether the player can make a comeback is not just the coaching staff. Jackson found the white-bearded bald team doctor Gary Witty to evaluate Fisher's situation.

The result was that Fisher collapsed, and Viti refused without thinking. He had a certain say in the Lakers and was the oldest employee on the team.

In 1984, 30-year-old Vitty went to Los Angeles to meet Lakers coach Pat Riley. The two talked about professional content such as player nutrition, strength training, team medical care, etc. Vitty's answer made Riley very satisfied, and then hired him.

When Viti first arrived in Los Angeles, the scale of the NBA was far from being as large as it is now, but after so many years of development, the rules of NBA's success have not changed. The key is 12 players, 2 coaches, and 1 team doctor. As for others, whether they are team executives or the players' family and friends, they are all secondary factors.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Viti has always been the "1" who protects the Lakers for 32 years. He has to listen to O'Neal's words, otherwise he will be anxious.

One time in January, O'Neal didn't want to train, so he asked Viti for a few days of sick leave and was rejected.

"You are so big and round, you can occupy such a large space on the court." Viti gestured for a moment and said angrily: "You have really subverted basketball. So you have to train because no one else has the ability to do that."

This is a satirical saying that O'Neal is too fat. O'Pang knows that he is inappropriate and cannot lose weight. What's more, he often is lazy and resting. So he went to train willingly.

Witty told Fisher: "You are too heavy and making a comeback early is just a joke about your career. I suggest you wait for the playoffs before making a comeback, which is safer and can help the team."

Before Fisher could speak, Jackson made the decision. "That's it. Anyway, with Jason here, I won't be able to use him for the time being."

Viti smiled and said, "I think so too."

Fisher's mouth opened in an O-shaped shape. Have you considered the feelings of the person involved when you speak? What does it mean to "Anyway, Jason is here, so I can't use him for the time being?"

If Jason Guo had been there and was always healthy, when would the team use me? Is this what if I would be cleaned up sooner or later? I don’t want to play in a small place!

Fisher felt more and more uncomfortable as he thought about it. His legs and feet were a little weak. He was about to kneel down for Jackson, and said in tears: "Coach, I want to play basketball..."

As a result, before he had time to kneel down, Jackson turned to O'Neal and said the tactics. "Come on, Shackle, let's talk about the problem of encountering the opponent's heavy inside line and pulling it out to cover Jason."

Viti made a blow: "Derick, you go home and rest first. If possible, eat less and try to lose weight. It's okay to lose 90 kilograms. How can you get faster in your body? How to play pick-and-roll? Look at how fast Jason is."

Fisher really wanted to explain that he was called strong, not fat, and his speed was not slow, and he passed the defender by relying on his explosive power, but it was really not enough to compare with Guo Xu now.

Fisher sighed, still not giving up, and wanted to talk to Kobe, who is also a rookie in the 1996. If Kobe could say a few good things about him, he might have more playing time when he returns in the playoffs.

He looked around and soon found that Kobe and Guo Xu were fighting in one half. Both of them were very beautiful in their movements, with offensive methods emerging one after another, and they threw and fell back quickly and accurately.

After a few rounds of fighting, the two started chatting and laughing. Although Fisher stood far away and couldn't hear what they said, he could make up for it by himself through his expression. He had never seen Kobe who was so happy that he couldn't help but have a big idea.

Probably... Jason should be quarrel with Kobe's strength, right?

I'm going to compete with Kobe here.

Jason Guo, uh.

Brothers, ah?

Who do you compare me to?

I'm not bad at all of you than Jordan.

Then I can't compare to Luo Hehe.

You have more than him.

Let's go... OK.

Let's go... OK.

De'er comes, De'er comes, De'er comes, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

English is profound and difficult to translate. This is not Fisher's original words, but he is basically thinking about these things.

The more Fisher thought about it, the more he felt that he had no hope and could not see the future. He ran out of the arena, ran to the hall to find the thickest marble pillar and bumped his head with a bang.
