Chapter 10: The most special teammate


In recent seasons, the Lakers have had a very difficult time. Since the team's head player, Magic Johnson, retired from AIDS, this king's division has lost its bravery. The competition pressure is increasing. As one of the best giants in NBA history, the Los Angeles Lakers are now under great pressure.
Moreover, as the general manager of a team like the Lakers, as a family member, Jerry West is very clear that Los Angeles fans not only need the team's performance to go up, but also need the team to play beautifully, but also need the ball Can the team have enough popularity superstars, and now?
Since the Magic Johnson retired, the Lakers have plummeted their results. This season's regular season win rate has not reached 50%, and the number of wins is less than 40. If this win rate is placed in the east, even the playoffs will not be able to enter, although in In the West, the Lakers entered the playoffs this year, but it is clear that the Lakers will not look good in the face of the sun that has just brought the league's most powerful forward and the league's new Division regular season mvp Barkley.
And in the end, the Lakers were indeed swept out of the playoffs by the Suns in the first round of the playoffs, and this is already their two consecutive seasons in the first round of the playoffs. This season they are ranked eighth in the regular season, which is definitely a huge shame for the Lakers who have ruled the entire NBA for so long.
Of course, there is little hope for the Lakers’ performance. At the most important time, the team does not have an absolute star player, and the appeal is also seriously declining. If three years ago, the focus of the entire league, the focus of the entire world is still Los Angeles, still on the Los Angeles Lakers, so now, the focus of the entire NBA and the world has all reached Chicago, and the Bulls, there are very few people really remember that this Laker was the league’s overlord, everyone center of.
In this case, what Jerry West needs to do is to find a second magician, and then let the second magician he finds can lead the Lakers to take off again, and he also has a good The goal is to score 37 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks in high school. When graduating from high school, he was voted as the best player in the United States as a high school student by many media. Fanny Hardaway.
For this rookie, he has been staring for a long time. This guy has not only played the strongest data in history in high school. In college, to ncaa, this guy can also average 23 points 8.5 rebounds 6.5 assists 2.5 steals 1.5 The second block, and like high school, this guy was also selected as the best player in the United States for two consecutive years after coming to college.
During the last year's training of the Dream One team, this guy took the ncaa united team to defeat the Dream One team, Jordan was hand-picked as the successor, and in Jerry West's view, Jordan said Hardaway at that time last year It’s his successor. A large part of the reason is that it is too embarrassing to continue to belittle the young man who defeated him. In the past, Jordan has always disregarded these so-called Jordan successors. When I was asked this question, Jordan always directly mocked him. If he can meet on the court, Jordan will definitely give these so-called successors a little lesson. Jordan is a very proud person and wants to get his Recognition, the first step is to defeat him.
   Therefore, in Jerry West's opinion, Hardaway is definitely not the successor of Jordan, but should be the successor of the magician Johnson. Judging from the all-round performance of the young man, he has this qualification.
However, what makes Jerry West extremely embarrassing is that he has been looking for the possibility of being able to trade to the top three draft picks, because he knows that Hardaway cannot fall out of the top three, whether it is the Magic or the Warriors or 76. People, these three teams with the top three picks don’t want to trade with him at all, after all, the other team’s people are not fools, the Lakers’ Divac, Byron Scott, and veteran James Worthy All are good, but they don't need it. At least these people can't compare with Weber, Hardaway and Bradley, and even Mashburn.
It can be said that the Lakers are now very embarrassed. The team is not strong enough and needs to be rebuilt. There is no opportunity to rebuild. If it is directly stale, it will not be able to hold the face of the former nba overlord, so the Lakers are in a very bad situation. It’s awful, even some people inside the Lakers have started clamoring to make the magician stable, then come back and fight.
   And Jerry West is very clear, the Magician will not really change the status of the Lakers when he returns.
  After finishing his bad mood, he put down the scout report in his hands helplessly. After sighing, Jerry West got up and prepared to leave the training camp supervisor's office, and Wood on the side immediately followed.
  Wait a minute, the rookie group match is about to start. Although it is difficult to get his favorite Hardaway this year, in the scout report just now, he still found a few very interesting players.
   "Huh? Jerry, I didn't expect to see you here"
When Jerry West and training camp supervisor Chris Wood came to the training ground, this time they actually met an acquaintance, the Jazz coach, Gerald Eugene Sloan, that is, Jerry Sloan .
   "This group is quite interesting, you see"
   Faced with some unexpected expressions of West, Sloan also smiled and handed the form on his hand to West, saying that he and West are contemporary players and are no strangers.
  When West took over this rookie player's grouping list, seeing the grouping above, and thinking of the scout report I just saw, it also showed a smile.
"It really tests the ability of that little guy, but if you really have such a great reputation, you need to match it. It is really a game that people look forward to. A best player takes a group of the worst. Players"
  After speaking with a smile, West also sent the watch back to Sloan, and his eyes were once again focused on the rookie who is not far away from the United States.
  .......
  .......
   "Hahahaha, it's really interesting, it's really interesting, Anfenni, I didn't expect you guys to have this day"
  In front of the public notice board of the training ground, at this time, all the more than forty rookies who came here for training this year all gathered here because the staff just posted their groupings.
"Organizing guard Van Exel, shooting guard Lin Han, small forward Anfeny Hardaway, power forward Aron Williams, center Antonio Harvey, hahahaha, did not expect Hardaway, known as the first rookie, to bring Such a team is really interesting"
"Van Ixelles, the point guard of the wave-casting player, can score 30 points per game in high school, and even Jordan can't compare with him, but when the university has no top team, the draft pick is predicted to be the last in the second round. This time, the rookie training was divided into seed players. Although they were placed in the second gear, they were the last one in the second gear."
"Aron Williams, there is no height and body inside, no matter whether it is offensive or defensive ability, there is no general place. The last player in the third gear, Antonio Harvey, is more than 2 meters 11 in height, but very good It may be the 7-footer who missed this year and was placed in the fourth gear, which is still the worst."
"As for this Asian kid, is he really a professional player? Which group with him might be a four-five-five situation. I didn’t expect this garbage to be divided into the Hardaway group. We are so lucky. , Really should thank our first rookie"
   "Ha ha ha ha, no need to thank, maybe our first rookie can really take such a group of powerful teammates to win the championship? Ha ha ha ha"
  At this time, when all the players were released in groups, these young and talented rookies were almost excited, but there were a handful of people who looked a little ugly.
   For example, at this time, the most talked about Hardaway, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Van Exel, Lin Han and those two and the three are in a group of clunky insiders.
   "Garbage? Are the trash in these guys talking about me?"
Looking at these guys who are pointing at themselves at this time, Lin Han finally knows why he became the focus after he came to the training ground today. The performance yesterday seems really bad, but even if it is so bad, he hasn’t gotten into garbage. Level?
   "Say less, just watch it"
Just as Lin Han was going to go forward with a few sentences that mocked his rookie theory, Bowen on the side quickly caught him. This time was not a good time for Lin Han to come forward. Obviously, although Lin John and several other players were ridiculed, but it was clear that the firepower was directed at Hardaway, the strongest rookie.
"Your name is George Lynch, I remember you, a talented player who graduated from the top North Carolina University. I heard that his physical talent is super strong. This year's top five forwards in the draft, the defense is particularly good. Wait a minute, I will get 30 on your head. Do you have any comments?"
In the face of these artillery fires directed at him, Hardaway said nothing, but snorted coldly and left, leaving Lin Han very surprised that the guy named Van Exel was very domineering Provoked the rookie who mocked him the most fierce.
  Looking at the imminent war here, Lin Han was also a little excited, ready to go up to help the madman rookie who dared to provoke a group of people, but it was quickly and dragged away by Bowen.
   "Lin, the best way to prove yourself is to beat them on the court, Hardaway knows better than all of you"
