Chapter 133 The First Step of Ant Swallowing an Elephant's Leg

After the press conference, Walton's mood did not become more relaxed, because the first step of the plan, in addition to putting pressure on the Lakers' talented players, is to pass the level of the Lakers' top management.

Sure enough, just after the press conference, the magician called, "Wharton, I need you to come to the office now. Jim is here too! You better hurry up, he looks very bad mood. However, I have almost understood the matter, and I will stand by your side!"

"Thank you, John, having you here makes me bigger." Wharton took a deep breath.

"After all, this is for the future of the Lakers! Jim can understand! Well, hurry up." After speaking, Magic Johnson hung up the phone.

"How is it?" Xiao, who was behind Genzi Wharton, saw Wharton hung up the phone, and hurried up to ask.

"As expected, Jim came and the magician was waiting for us in the operations office. But the magician thought we were right!" Wharton looked relieved.

"That's good, let's go there quickly! Although Jim is not very good at the management of the Lakers, he cares about the team very much!" After speaking, the two rushed to the operation office one after the other.

When the two came to the office, Jim's expression was not good. Seeing Wharton and Shaw walking into the office one after the other, Jim Buss had a sullen face and asked directly, "Tell me, why is this! Why is this 1-meter Chinese, not Ingram or Lonzo! They are the future of the Lakers! This damn Chinese, I only need him because of the Chinese market!"

"With all due respect, you are slandering a talented player; moreover, the two young men you hoped for did not lead the team to victory. On the contrary, they messed up the team!" Wharton's tone was calm, and he did not confront Jim Buss.

"I have given the team my all, but you are the coach, you have to solve these things!" Jim's face suddenly became melancholy, "My sister, Jenny, if the team can't make a breakthrough this year, then next year he will replace me!"

At this time, the magician came out to ease the atmosphere, "Don't worry, Jim, let me ask." The magician turned to look at Wharton and Xiao, "Sit down first, don't make the atmosphere so tense! Come, I made coffee in advance, this is yours, this is yours!"

Wharton and Xiao took the coffee respectively.

"So, are you serious? Let J be the leader of the Lakers?" Magic asked Walton, "Or, you can tell us all your plans!"

"Okay." Wharton nodded slightly to the magician, then put down the coffee and raised his legs, "Your question, I can answer you exactly, yes!"

Jim Buss heard this and was about to explode when Magic Johnson raised his hand to signal him to listen.

After Wharton slowed down for a while, he said again, "However, I think your understanding is a little bit different from mine."

"First of all, Jiang Dashan meets all the conditions to become the core of the team, excellent speed, jumping, his ability to break into the inside to cause damage, he can also open the distance, and shoot three-pointers from the outside; he also has a good overall view, excellent vision, and can connect the team; at the same time, he also has a strong heart. If it weren't for the first game, we fell behind by 3 points in the fourth quarter, I think he has completed the second career lore! That is his 8th NBA professional game!" Walton began to explain.

After being silent for a while, Jim Buss questioned softly, "But she is 28 years old, and he is only 1 meters tall. Thomas Jr. has been abandoned by the Celtics! And Thomas Jr. only brought the Celtics to the division finals."

"Yes, but you forgot that Iverson was single-core, and he once won the OK combination of the Lakers in the Finals! At that time, the Lakers had absolute strength!" Walton continued, "I think Jiang Dashan is an enhanced version of Iverson. In addition to Iverson's speed and breakthrough ability, he also has excellent outside shooting ability. The style of the game is integrated, not a lone wolf style. And now, the first step we have to do is to enter the playoffs, so that we can be qualified to talk about the Western Conference Finals, or the Finals, Don't you?" Wharton smiled at Jim Bass.

"Yes, this is indeed the case." Magic Johnson first expressed his affirmation.

"Go on!" Wharton's remarks clearly aroused Jim's curiosity.

"I said you got it wrong because J will become the core player of the Lakers, but first of all, this process will be slow, and secondly, the Lakers will not be a single-core player!"

"Oh? Continue!" The magician's eyes also shone.

"Lonzo has the ability to become the core, but his weird shooting posture limits him. Although his shooting speed is fast, the preparation time before the shot is a little longer and the route of the ball is too exposed in the defensive range, which restricts his scoring possibility in the game. Moreover, his speed is not very good, so he will not be the team's first choice. He will be the team's ball holder. His biggest role is organization, and he will be the team's second or third player selection." Wharton began his own analysis of players. .

"What about Ingram? Russell, I know, that kid is a jerk! Absolute cancer, but I like Ingram, low-key, and outstanding talent." Jim interrupted Wharton.

"Ingram is compared to the second Durant. Yes, he is very good. He is tall and long, has an absolute wingspan, bounces well, has speed, and can get into the paint like Durant, but you don't forget. His shooting percentage is only 2%. Lonzo and Lonzo are now having conflicts, competing for the core position of the team! Now the team is flying around! However, as long as these problems are resolved, I believe the Lakers can go to the light under the leadership of the three of them."

"Oh? Three people?" Jim stood up suddenly.

"Yes! The three of them will be the new core of the Lakers! First of all, I will make J and Brewer the leaders of the locker room. After J becomes the core, Brewer will completely control the locker room. Brewer is a good candidate, humble, veteran! In terms of training, Lonzo solves the problem of shooting posture on the one hand and strengthens speed training on the other. He can completely become another Jason Kidd." Walton showed confidence on his face.

Shaw added on the side, "Ingram has the qualifications to become a small forward like Durant, provided that he must strengthen his shooting ability practice! For this, we will strengthen training for him later. Similarly, he will not be a complete core."

"J's role, I won't say much. Although he may have some problems on the defensive end, we can safely learn from the Warriors on this point. Yes, Curry can play off the ball and play in series. Curry's defensive ability can only be said to be average, but the addition of Durant and the lack of solutions on the offensive end make it difficult for the Cavaliers to use James to single Curry. And J's stealing ability is good, and his strength is unexpectedly strong. His defense is currently at the same level as Curry. The core of the small lineup! But again, due to J's height, he will not be the absolute core!"

Speaking of this, the magician nodded in satisfaction, "I know what you mean. The Lakers do have the conditions to become such a jump-shooting team. J can be Curry of the Lakers; Lonzo is similar to Cray, except that Lonzo becomes the main point guard, J becomes the shooting guard, and the two are interchanged. This can greatly reduce the matchup trouble caused by changing defenses. And Ingram can be compared with Durant."

"Yes, Randall strengthened his muscles in the summer. Now he needs to focus on defense, rebounding, attacking at the basket, and mid-range shooting ability. He will become the Green of the Lakers! And Lopez, the defensive ability is better than Zaza, and he has a good three-pointer. They are the five small players of the Lakers! We have enough good players on our bench." Walton also stood up at this time, "And next year, Nance, Zubac and Kuzma can comeo after a season The 5th position, or let Randle top the 5th position, and Kuzma play the 3rd or 4th position!"

Hearing this, Jim Buss and the magician looked at each other!
　Why elephant legs, because the market for the Lakers is very large, and the protagonist is currently only a small role, so take your time, first become the boss of the locker room, have the right to speak, and then become one of the core, opening the first page of the peak of his career.
