NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Logo man Jerry West was born in 1938 and entered the league in 1960. He has been in the league for more than 40 years now.

Half his life, he has always looked like a nerd, Zen Master looks a little bit powerful, and West looks like a gentle old man.

But now this gentle old man was almost so angry that he was sent to the ICU for rescue. With this year's first-round bottom rookie David West and a second-round pick Kapono, he wanted to trade for O'Neal?Isn't this deceiving too much?
He hurriedly led the team coach Zen Master and the owner's daughter Jenny Bass to Ao Pang's residence. The most important task before them is to dispel Ao Pang's intention to go.

"You don't have to persuade me, you can't give me what I want."

"It's not just you. No one in this league can give me what I want except for Combe."

Ao Pang's attitude is extremely firm, and now he doesn't bother to pretend, he is almost calling the team that is going to Kumbu.

Zen Master became annoyed. If O'Pang simply wanted to leave the Lakers, then he could understand. After all, the Lakers seem more willing to cultivate Kobe now.

But now it is obvious that Ao Pang wants to go to Kongbu's team, and Zen master can't accept it at all.

His long-cherished wish is to kill Konbu once in the finals. In the first six years, Konbu won six championships, five of which were won by Zen Master.

Zen Master can accept Ao Pang to go to any team, but the team that cannot accept to go to Kumbu.

"Shaq, I want you to think about it again."

"What's the difference between your behavior and surrendering to the enemy? How disappointed are your fans with you?"

"This decision of yours will definitely seriously affect your historical status, Shaq, please don't do anything stupid."

The Zen master said righteously.

Ao Pang suddenly became unhappy, "Call to the enemy? What kind of enemy?"

"My enemies, the Raptors and the 76ers, have anything to do with the Bobcats?"

"Phil, I'm a player. I can't regard coach Kumbu as my enemy, can I? But you, you really should regard Kumbu as your enemy."

I have to say that Ao Pang is really clever sometimes, and he can block the Zen master with a single sentence.

What he said is correct. In the previous six years, the teams that blocked O'Pang from winning the championship were either the Raptors or the Philadelphia 76ers, which had something to do with the newly created Bobcats.

West, Zen Master and Jenny Buss were speechless, and they were speechless to O'Fat.

"The fans are disappointed in me? If I don't win the championship, they will be disappointed in me, let alone them, me and my family will be disappointed."

Ao Pang continued to refute the Zen master's statement.

Jenny Buss spoke up. She felt that she was a woman, and perhaps taking the tender route could change O'Pang's mind.

"Shaq, you joined the Lakers in 1996 and we had seven wonderful years."

"In the offseason that just ended, your seven-year contract ended, and we offered you a three-year $3 million contract. You know, this is definitely the most luxurious salary in the entire league."

"We have always regarded you as a family member and have paid a lot for you over the years. I hope you can continue to stay with the Lakers, and we can also win the championship."

Jenny Buss played the emotional card.

As a result, what she said made Ao Pang angrier the more he heard it.

"Paid a lot? What have you paid for me?"

"I joined the Lakers back then as a free agent. You didn't even pay for a second-round pick, and the Magic didn't even get a single hair."

"The Magic have been chasing me like a mad dog all these years. Even if you guys came to sign first and then trade, and gave Magic some chips at will, they wouldn't hate me like they do now."

"For three years, 8800 million US dollars, don't you know that this is not the contract I want?"

"How many times has my agent told you that I want a long-term contract, at least six or seven years, but you only gave me a three-year contract."

"I know why you only gave me three years, isn't it because of Kobe? His contract expires in three years and needs to be renewed."

"Don't say it as if I owe you the Lakers, the salary you give me, I can get it from any team."

Jerry West's face turned green. He brought these two people here to make O'Pang give up his idea of ​​leaving the Lakers. Who would have thought that it would intensify O'Pang's determination to leave the Lakers.

The mild-looking West, who was not a vegetarian either, patted the table and stood up.

"Shaq, it is impossible for us to give up on you."

"As far as Combe's offer is concerned, I would rather rot you in my hands than give you to the Bobcats."

"let's go!"

West directly led Zen Master and Jenny Bass away, and Tuliuao was messed up in the wind.

Ao Pang is a little anxious, if he continues to consume like this, he will be the one who suffers the most.

For example, if he voluntarily abandons the last game, he will not be paid. His salary of 2900 million U.S. dollars a season, if he misses a game, he will lose hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars.

If West is really hard-hearted and would rather kill O’Pang in his hands than trade him out, O’Pang’s side will be in a difficult situation. The longer he stalemates with West, the more he will suffer. .

He hurriedly called Konbu, wanting to ask what kind of offer Konbu had made to make West so angry.

"Huh? Kong, you..."

"What's the difference between you and robbery? Take David West and Kapono for me? No wonder West is so angry."

"To be honest, after hearing your offer, I wanted to call the police, but I didn't know what to say to the police. After all, I was stolen from a robbery."

Ao Pang said speechlessly, with a bit of resentment in his tone.

He felt that Kongbu’s offer lacked sincerity. It was you who called me two days ago, wanting to play for the Bobcats. As a result, you forced the team’s management team, but the offer you gave by Kongbu was so unreasonable. grade.

"Shaq, do you think I'm unwilling to offer more bargaining chips? Of course I also want to give an offer that matches your status."

"But our Bobcats are a completely new team without any accumulation."

"I'll trade you with Hill and a rookie? Do you think it's easy for us to win the championship next?"

"Take Bosh, the most valuable rookie? Don't you want to try the feeling of having a top power forward in his prime? You have played for so many years, and you haven't enjoyed this kind of treatment, have you?"

"In addition to David West and Kapono, add Barbosa or Korver? Then we have no backcourt players in the team, how can we play the game?"

"My offer is definitely well thought out, and it's entirely for your own good. After all, you don't want to join a team that has no hope of winning the championship, do you?"

Kong Bu's words made it clear that Ao Pang was PUA, and Ao Pang was already ashamed of his attitude just now.

Kong Bu is so considerate of himself that he blames Kong Bu?I am really nothing.

"Then what should we do now? This offer is indeed a bit low, let alone West, if I were the general manager of the Lakers, I would not agree."

Ao Pang asked worriedly.

"Persist on your side, and I will try my best to find a way to find more bargaining chips."

"One week at most, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Of course, Kumbu didn't think that the offer he gave would really get O'Fang. He was just testing West's bottom line.

That night, in the middle of the night, Combe sent another offer to West.

This time, in addition to David West and Kapono, Combe added a Bobcats first-round pick in 2004, and nothing else was added.

The offer, of course, did not garner any response from West.

Late the next night, Comb sent another offer, and he withdrew his first-round pick for David West, Kapono, and Josh Howard.

The result is still the same.

Late in the third night, Combe withdrew Josh Howard and replaced him with Barbosa.

Still did not get any response from West.

In the middle of the night on the fourth day, Combe withdrew Barbosa and replaced him with Korver plus a 2004 first-round pick and a 2004 second-round pick.

West was going crazy. Comb always sent quotes late at night. After West read the quotes, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep. He hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days.

In a fit of rage, West directly quarreled with Konbu, held a press conference, and explained the reason why Ao Pang didn't play in the last three games, condemned Kon Bu's illegal recruitment of Ao Pang, and will also Comb's five offers were made public.

For a while, this press conference caused a super uproar in the league.

It's really such a shocking news, that Kong Bu is thinking about O'Pang?Just what the hell are these five offers?No wonder West was so angry that he wanted to hold a press conference to expose Combe.

Many people are gloating, because the Lakers have done a lot of inappropriate things over the years.

Perhaps the most exciting thing is the Magic. They sued the Lakers with the league back then, saying that the Lakers recruited Oban illegally, but nothing happened. The Lakers were not punished.

Now the feng shui turns, and the Lakers have become the sufferers.

The Lakers' introduction of Stockton before also discredited them. This incident made many fans feel that it was retribution.

The strong teams in the west are going crazy, and O'Pang is going to the east?Then these western powerhouses have a chance to reach the finals.

As long as you can enter the finals, you can hope to win the championship.

If they can't even make it to the finals, the chances of winning the championship must be zero.

Some people are happy, and others are naturally annoyed.

The old Thomas on the eastern side didn't sleep well all night, and held a press conference the next day, telling the league to strictly investigate Combe.

He fell in love with Kongbu and asked the alliance to investigate Kongbu. He knew very well that the alliance could find nothing. The reason why he made this statement was to vent his dissatisfaction.

Lao Deng has been in this league for so many years, and he knows how common illegal recruitment is. He himself has conducted illegal recruitment many times. When Dazhi went to the Knicks, it was actually illegal recruitment.

As long as Kumbu doesn't admit it, and O'Fang doesn't admit it, Stern will definitely not do anything to him.

……

West accused Comb of recruiting illegally, and also disclosed Comb's ridiculous offer. Judging from Comb's words and deeds in the past few years, he will definitely get angry and start to fight with the Lakers.

But this time Kong Bu was extraordinarily quiet, and he kept his mouth shut with the reporter, saying nothing.

In fact, Kong Bu felt a little uneasy about his conscience.

He also felt a little sorry for the LOGO man. Kongbu didn't take it seriously, and he felt a little ashamed, so naturally he couldn't tear it up.

But to be ashamed, Kumbu doesn't have too much shame, because under normal circumstances, O'Pang is the Heat who will go to the Heat after this season.

The relationship between him and Kobe was almost incompatible. Both sides began to force the management to make a choice. There could only be one left between the two. In the end, the management chose Kobe.

From this point of view, Kumbu feels that he has done a good deed. When Oban Kobe did not completely tear his face, he accelerated Oban's departure from the team.

The night after West's press conference, Combe's phone rang.

First, Danny Ainge of the Suns called and said he was trying to find a way to give Comb a first-round pick from the Suns in 2003 to increase the bargaining chip for the Bobcats to trade O'Pang.

Angie, the old fox, gave a high-sounding reason. The relationship between Alian and Kongbu is so good. When Konbu needs help, they, as the home team of Alian, have no reason not to lend a helping hand.

How could Kumbu not know what Angie was up to? On the one hand, he wanted to send Ao Pang to the Eastern Conference, so that the Suns would have at least a [-]% chance of reaching the Finals.

On the other hand, they want to continue to strengthen ties with Konbu. The Suns lineup still has flaws. If Konbu helps in next year's draft, their Suns will definitely be able to improve their strength.

Killing two birds with one stone, but the Suns only need to pay the bottom pick in the first round, which is quite a bargain.

After Angie finished the call, the old Adelman of the Kings also called, and he also wanted to help Comb.

The king is willing to take out the current scoring leader Peja Stojakovic in the team, and trade Kapono of the Bobcats.

This offer is everywhere for Kombo.

Peja is on a maximum-salary contract, which can equalize more than half of his salary in the trade with O'Pang, and Peja has averaged 23 points per game in the past, and it seems that the offer is not so shabby when he trades for O'Pang.

The Kings are definitely not without any benefits. They can get a special deal in this deal. Kapono's salary is only a few hundred thousand dollars, and the Kings can save a lot of salary space.

In addition, through Kumbu, the Kings can get at least one quasi-All-Star rookie in the draft.

No matter how you look at it, this is a win-win deal.

It's a pity that Combe still declined the old Adelman's kindness.

"Old man, Kapono is actually not as good as you think. He is playing so well now. There is a special reason why he averaged more than 25 points per game in the last few games."

"Maybe in your team, he can only average six or seven points per game."

"I appreciate your kindness. We have been old friends for many years. I can't do things that cheat you."

Kumbu directly told the old Adelman about the situation of Kapono. (end of this chapter)
