Chapter 408 Lakers VS Kings
The news about when Yao Ming joined the NBA has been widely reported by the media from time to time.
However, at this time, Bruce, he quickly devoted himself to matters related to the rookie training!
For the Warriors' No. 26 pick, they don't have many players to choose from in this year's rookie. If there are not some good players in the second round, Bruce is ready to give up this year's draft!
Now, according to the memory of his previous life, Bruce directly ordered the team to bring John Salmons into the training hall of the Warriors!
As a swingman, Salmons made a name for himself at the University of Miami by virtue of his versatility!
Although his talent is not bad, because the University of Miami is not a traditional prestigious school, he was predicted by the draft website as the last few positions in the first round.
Seeing the familiar figure in the training hall, Bruce couldn't help looking over curiously!
Clean cheeks, no beard like in the previous life, which makes Sermons feel very refreshing to Bruce, especially when he still looks a little immature, no one would have thought that he would gradually become an all-rounder , the level of a master of chaos!
On the court, Salmons showed his shooting skills to the team's trainers. At this time, he already showed a shadow of a pitcher!
After a set of routine trial training ended, Bruce felt a little dull, unlike those rookies who were eager to express themselves, he just followed the process and completed his own trial training one by one!
"John, if you could join the Warriors, how would you help the team?" Sitting in the lounge of the training hall, Bruce smiled and looked at the nervous Salmons in front of him!
"Uh. If I can be selected by the Warriors, I will use my diligence and shooting to bring some help to the team. Of course, this requires the team to give me enough training time!"
What Salmons said is basically what rookies would answer. However, judging from the current situation of the Warriors, it is obviously not so appropriate to focus on cultivating rookies!
After that, after finishing the last interview, Bruce scribbled helplessly on the document in his hand!
After bidding farewell to Salmons, Bruce immediately returned to his office!
Originally, Wilkens would definitely participate in the trial training of players, but because this year's lottery show is still worth seeing, he obviously doesn't want to waste time in boring trial training!
"Stay with my wife, this old guy!" Bruce shook his head, continued his work with a smile!
With the opening of the East and West finals, two very surprising games were played between the Lakers and the Kings.
After experiencing the previous 6 battles with the Warriors, the Lakers still maintained a good state in the first two games of this series!
However, as the Kings pulled back a game in the second game, all the media who paid attention to them vowed that they would not be able to make it through!
"Laney, do you think the Lakers will make it to the Finals?" Bruce subconsciously asked as he looked at a picture of Wilkens with an old god on the opposite side!
"Of course, the playoffs can't be solved only by offense!" Wilkens said casually, and then changed the subject: "You know our current situation, with Steve (Smith)'s current state , he is no longer suitable for the team's tactical configuration, if we can trade him out, we will get a good return, don't forget that he has an expiring contract of more than 900 million US dollars!"
"I have thought about this issue before. Judging from the current situation in the league, there are not many teams that can accept him."
"Of course, his contract will be urgently needed by some teams that are eager to rebuild and get rid of contracted superstars, so... hey, why don't we see what happens in the future?" Bruce said meaningfully, obviously Already have some arrangements!
After receiving Bruce's reply, Wilkens got up straight away. After saying goodbye briefly, he just walked to the door, as if he suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he said with some expectation: "I heard that Jerry doesn't want to continue to be here. LA for his managerial job!"
"Jerry???" Bruce looked at him in surprise, and after seeing him nodding, he said in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
Now Bruce still hasn't been able to turn around, because of the conflicts between O'Neal and Kobe, coupled with the differences between Jerry West and Jerry Buss, he is tired of some intrigue.
After careful consideration, the meritorious player of the Lakers, after careful consideration, he accidentally released this shocking news at a gathering with old friends!
Jerry West has an illustrious history as a successful player and general manager of a decorated team.
If he can be brought into the Warriors, it will relieve a lot of pressure on Bruce, and at the same time, it will also bring unexpected surprises to the Warriors along the way!
I don't know when Wilkens has left here, and only Bruce is left frowning and thinking about the possibility of getting West!
Entering June, all eyes are on the Western Conference Finals!
Relying on the powerful performances of Webber, Divac and others, the Kings forced the Lakers into the tiebreaker game by game!
In this series, they just relied on their strong offense to bring huge troubles to the Lakers!
If it weren't for a difficult series with the Warriors before, the Lakers must be much better than the current situation!
Compared with the tie-break between the Lakers and the Kings, the game between the Eastern Nets and the surprising Celtics this season is going to be better!
Although Pierce and Antoine Walker have given people great surprises in this year's playoffs, after all, they still lack experience in the Eastern Conference Finals!
This season, after Kidd's joining, the Nets broke into the Eastern Conference finals without a hitch!
With the 5:31 victory over the Celtics on May 96, the Nets relied on Kidd's triple-double, Kenyon Martin's impressive performance and Richard Jefferson's sudden emergence, making them Excited to taste the wonderful taste of the Eastern Championship!
"This season is really chaotic!" Bruce put down the newspaper and said to Wilkens with some emotion!
"That's right, if the league didn't allow it, I would strongly urge you to move the team away from Oakland and go to any city that belongs to the east!" Wilkens said a little depressed, the massacre in the west made Everyone wants to escape this daunting competition area.
In particular, the rapid rise of the western teams has made some teams that are sure to dominate in the eastern part gradually blocked by the first and second rounds on the way forward!
This season, the Warriors, Mavericks, Kings, Spurs and some other teams are strong. In the contest against the Eastern Conference, they are always in a great position to win.
However, it is also because of the strength of the western teams that the eastern teams can basically be described as several grades lower in front of them!
Just as Wilkens said, if the league agrees to relocate, Bruce will consider it very seriously!
"After my trial training of several rookies, there are no players we urgently need among them, so..." Wilkens spread his hands and said to Bruce in a flat manner.
After a few days of trial training for the rookies, Wilkens finally couldn't bear Bruce's harassment, and came to do a series of tests on the rookies in person!
Although the talents of these players are barely enough, in terms of the current Warriors, they will basically not get the corresponding position.
"Okay!" Bruce closed the information after the previous trial training with some helplessness. It seems that he has to find a way to deal with the first-round pick in his hand!
On June 6, after the Lakers won the game with difficulty at the home court of the Kings, the matchup between the Lakers and the Nets will be extremely fast under the circumstances that the East and West have successively produced championships. Expand!
On June 6, after the Lakers beat the Nets 5:99 at their home court, the league finally recognized Kidd's strength!
他在这场比赛之中，出场43分钟的时间内，分别拿到了23分10助攻10篮板和3次抢断的现象级表现！
He used his super ability to completely revitalize the entire Nets team!
However, the outbreak of the combination of O'Neal and Kobe made Kidd's efforts come to naught!
In the whole game, O'Neal scored 45 points, 36 rebounds and 16 blocked shots with full dominance in 4 minutes of playing!
Kobe also contributed 43 points, 22 assists and 6 rebounds in 3 minutes of playing!
If it weren't for his poor shooting percentage of 16 of 6, they would have played very easily!
Immediately following June 6, O'Neill once again used his extremely strong attack power to explode his shocking dominance!
In 41 minutes of playing, he shockingly scored 40 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in a quasi-triple double, which made the Lakers end the game with a big victory!
Even though Kidd still almost got a triple-double astonishing result, but his teammates' lack of power completely ruined their two consecutive away games!
The toughness of the Lakers, under the leadership of O'Neal, completely shocked everyone!
As O'Neal said before the game, if they play against the Warriors, they will be very difficult!
However, the Nets, who have recently advanced to the finals, have not been deliberately put in their eyes from the beginning!
Even if they had Kidd, nothing would change that!
The fierce battle in the finals still couldn't hide the news that rookies have joined the draft camp one after another!
After Stoudemire, a high school student, announced his participation in the draft, a large number of college players signed up for this draft!
With Caron Butler, Teshaw Enprins, Drew Gooden and others announcing their participation before the registration deadline, this year's draft is really exciting!
