: Five hundred and eighty-nine. Something about the team

Kobe's most worrying thing about Liu Ren is still here. Liu Ren knows that one day Kobe's state will drop sharply.
Although Kobe worked very hard and did everything he could to keep in shape, the serious injury more than two years ago was devastating to Kobe’s career. Otherwise, he still has the effort to maintain his body. Even at the age of thirty-six or seven, he is still at the top of the league, at least on the offensive end.
In fact, Kobe has worked very hard in the first two seasons, and he is only at the level of 60 or 70% at the age of 35. For a superstar like him, it is actually impossible to decline in one season. Many, such as Karl Malone, who is very similar to Kobe's career. When Malone, born in 63, was 40 years old in the 02 to 03 seasons, he only scored one point less than the 01 to 02 seasons. He went from 97 to 98 at the age of 34. From the season until the 02 to 03 seasons before going to the Lakers, the decline was very balanced, and it was a slow decline. Before going to the Lakers, he was still the league's first-line scorer with an average of 20+ per game. He was 34 to 3 Seventeen or eighteen years old, there is no significant decline in comparison.
Kobe is a player who is as self-disciplined or even more self-disciplined as Malone. Without that major injury, although Kobe may still be scumbag on the defensive end, at least the offensive end is an average of 25 or 6 points per game and has so many attractive points. The defensive teammates will definitely be highly efficient players, but the fact is that from his 35 to 36 years old this season, he has already had a significant decline.
If Kobe didn’t have that serious injury, perhaps his athletic ability would decline year by year, but not so fast. Last season, the Lakers broke records all the way and did not dare to relax too much throughout the season, putting Kobe’s body to the test again. This has completely intensified the speed of decline, and this season, the impact of the major injury that year was finally fully highlighted.
After 11 games, Kobe’s shooting percentage has dropped to a career low of 39.8%...
Most of the players of the Lakers are Kobe fans. They are very accommodating to Kobe. Winning will cover up all problems. When the Lakers continue to win, everyone is willing to give the ball to Kobe and let Kobe. Recover status.
Because no one will believe, or is willing to believe that Kobe has suddenly fallen so much this year! Playing exactly the same as last season, the efficiency has dropped so much!
However, someone who is as rational as Liu Ren and has experienced Kobe's miserable years knows that Kobe is really in a decline.

Los Angeles Toyota Center Lakers Training Hall.
Lakers boss Jenny Buss has just reached an agreement with the Bruins to jointly build a large training hall in El Segundo.
The training hall currently used by the Lakers is actually used by three teams, including the Los Angeles Sparks and the NFL Kings. Of course, the Toyota Center is large enough to separate three areas for use by three teams, but the ball The infrastructure of the stadium is overwhelmed. Many of the facilities are old. Toyota did not have too much money to support the non-automotive industries that they invested in as early as 2010 after the
brake door
. It was abandoned by them, so the Lakers had already started planning to build a new training hall.
Isn’t this just winning the championship? Just after making so much money, Jenny Buss also successfully got the support of most of the shareholders, and decided to jointly build a new training hall and use it with the Bruins.
This arena is temporarily decided to be built in El Segundo, so tall, it is actually next door to the Toyota Center, across two streets...
The Lakers will invest $600 million in the new training hall, $80 million in investment, and the Los Angeles government will invest $500 million. In addition, the government of El Segundo will also make a discretionary investment. It will be around $100 million. It is best to build an NBA. Training hall.
Of course, it is definitely not comparable to the Russian local tyrants who build a billion-dollar arena for their own use, but almost no other team like the Lakers has an NBA-level arena for training outside the home court. Pavilion.
If it weren't for the Toyota Center for the three teams, this arena would be comparable to those smaller NBA home courts.
The health center arena will start construction in January next year and will be put into use in February 2017. Unlike the Toyota Center, this arena will have a court with 10,000 seats. It will be not only a training center for the Lakers, but also It is the home stadium of some big games such as March Madness, and will also host some evening parties.
However, the use of the arena will not affect the Lakers' training, their time is limited to the evening, and the training area and the game area are separate.
It was Kevin Merced, the dean of the El Segundo campus, who talked to Jenny Buss about the construction of this arena. After their secretaries checked the contract and officially signed it, they stood up and shook hands happily.
"Mr. Merced, I am very happy that we will cooperate in the long-term." Jenny Buss was very happy, and finally got the investment of two government departments.
"I am also very happy, thank you for allowing us to use the Lakers' popularity to promote the sports culture of our school around the world." Merced is also very happy.
For only $80 million, you can have the right to use a brand-new NBA-level arena for 20 years. Rent a stadium of this level to play games. It costs more than 10 million a year. Although their Bruins are very good Popularity, but after all, it is not a profitable team. It is impossible to rent an NBA home-level arena at a very cheap price like an NBA team that can attract many customers.
As for Jenny Buss, it is necessary to apply for funds with the government in the name of the Lakers, otherwise the Lakers will spend 500 million dollars to build the arena...Those shareholders are expected to explode!
And now that 600 million is invested, someone has already exploded.
As soon as Merced and Jenny Buss left after their greetings, Jim Buss rushed into Kupchak's office with red eyes.
"Jenny, what do you mean by telling me? Why was the construction of such a big stadium decided without my consent?" Jim Buss roared.
Jenny Buss knew that there would be this scene, and responded calmly: "More than 90% of the board of directors have agreed to this proposal, which is also very helpful to our team culture."
"Are you kidding me? You alone have a controlling stake of more than 50%. Isn't that what you say? Who dares to oppose you?" Jim Buss was furious.
"No, I only have 14% of the team. This is everyone's decision." Jenny Buss is still calm.
The equity distribution of the Lakers is like this. The Bass family owns more than 80% of the shares of the Lakers. In addition to the six siblings, there are also some elderly people in the Bass family and some branches also have minority shares. Of course, Bass The family basically only has this one industry, like the value of the Los Angeles Sparks and Los Angeles Defenders compared to the Lakers is drizzle.
Jerry Buss has a total of six children. As the eldest sister, Jeanie Buss inherited 14% of the Lakers' shares in the old Buss estate. The other brothers are all around 10%.
And Jerry Buss, in order to keep the Lakers as the property of the Buss family for a long time, also stated in his will that his most talented daughter, Jeanne Buss, owns the actual controlling rights of the Lakers shares held by the Buss family, which is Except for Jenny Buss, the other five children of Jerry Buss only have the right to pay dividends, and do not have full control over the shares, because his shares are reserved for the Buss family, not someone.
In other words, even if the six brothers and sisters of Buss distribute their shares to their children in the future, they only have the right to pay dividends. The real controlling person still needs to be appointed by Jeanne Buss, but that will be a matter of many years later. Up.
However, there is an exception. When the six brothers and sisters agree to sell shares, or when they all ask to change shareholders, they can make changes.
Jim Buss ranted a few words and then left in curse. Since the summer, he has basically lost his true power as the vice president of team operations. Kupchak doesn't listen to him anymore. Whenever he does When a decision is made, Jenny Buss will move out of the board of directors to vote against the name and make other decisions. This makes Jim Buss very insecure and even panic!
As a result, Jim Buss began to contact some consortiums to sell his 11% stake in the Lakers, but when he was negotiating business, it suddenly came out that the Lakers would spend $600 million in working capital.
The Lakers' need to spend so much money on repairing the training hall is naturally big news and was revealed to reporters by "informed sources."
Of course, this will increase the market value of the Lakers. After all, they have new fixed assets, but for those who want to buy shares in the Lakers, it is not a good choice, so Jim Buss wants to sell shares. After being stranded, he would come to Jenny Buss theories so angrily.
The magician walked into Kupchak's office, said hello to Kupchak, and said, "Jenny, Jim is gone angrily. I don't think he will be so angry that he will sell his shares? "
Jenny Buss said indifferently: "I think it's possible with his business mind, but don't worry, he doesn't have the full power to sell the team's shares, and more than half of our six brothers and sisters need to agree."
But Jenny Buss is still a little jealous: "My dear brother's status as the vice president will deceive many people. If he really gets money from other consortia, what can we do as sisters and sisters? I can only pay for him. I think it’s time for a board meeting."
Jenny Buss's words mean that Jim Buss should be a dude honestly and wait for the money every year, don't come to harm the team.
When the magician heard this, he was as cunning as he was, and couldn't help showing excitement: "Oh, when? Do you want me to pay to buy the shares in Jim?"
Jenny Buss gave the magician a white look: "I want to rob this time? You sold the team's shares for 20 million back then, now regret it?"
Magic is a bit embarrassed. He did almost vomit blood when he heard that Liu Ren's girlfriend bought 2% of the Lakers' shares for 60 million. He sold 4.5% of the Lakers' shares five years ago. Actually only sold 20 million dollars, it was a blood loss!
And the market value of the Lakers has been rising, which makes the Magic feel even more blood loss.
"Let's discuss when the board of directors will be held." The magician said grimly.
"At the end of the month, Kobe has made an appointment with us to discuss things in the afternoon. It seems that there is something to discuss with us. If you want to renew the contract, wait until Kobe's renewal is reached before meeting the board of directors."
"Haha, you really care about Kobe! Are there no children who treat Kobe as their own child?"
"It's true in terms of age, and Kobe came to our team when he was a kid..."
...
...
After the magician left, Jenny Buss looked at the shareholder list and thought.
Trading team shares?
To be honest, Jenny Buss does not want to do this at all, but the 11% stake held by Jim Buss is indeed a time bomb. If possible, she wants to take Jim Buss. Buy down the shares.
But the Lakers have a market value of 3 billion, and 11% is 300 million. Using team funds to buy back shares is a good choice. But buying back shares means that the shares of other non-Bath families will rise. ! Because it was bought back with the money of the team, this 11% will be divided equally among all other shareholders.
And Jenny Buss herself, although the owner has more than 500 million assets, but most of them are Lakers shares and some other industries. It is impossible to spend three to four billion dollars. If she wants to buy Jim Bus The only stake in Si's hands is to cooperate with others!
The Buss family does not want to continue to increase the number of shareholders in the team. This is why Jenny Buss did not worry much when Jim Buss went out to find someone to sell his shares. Because the board of directors would absolutely veto it, it can only be from shareholders. Find someone.
For her brothers, Jenny Buss had no hope, expecting them to save money is harder than going to the sky, so she never thought of letting the other four brothers join together to buy Jim Buss shares. idea.
So I can only find candidates from other shareholders, the dudes of the Bath family other than the six siblings?
Jenny Buss has a headache thinking of those dude relatives, and can't help at all when it's critical.
The Lakers don't have many shareholders, except for their family members, only five people remain.
Philip Anschutz, the former Cavaliers owner, bought some idle shares in the Lakers after selling the Cavaliers. He now owns one-eighth, or 12.5%, of the Lakers. .
For this big wealthy man who is very ambitious and has always wanted more involvement in the Lakers shares, the Bass family is very vigilant and is not considering it.
However, Anschutz gathered the idle shares of the Lakers to avoid the possibility of small shareholders selling team shares, and to prevent the market value of the Lakers from being affected. The relationship between Anschutz and the Bath family is still good. .
Huang Xinxiang, the small Chinese owner of the Lakers, Los Angeles MD, owns 2.5% of the Lakers.
Huang Xinxiang is the person Jenny Buss most wants to cooperate with, but he sold some of the shares after the Lakers' market value soared. It seems that he didn't want to invest more in the Lakers, which makes Jenny Buss regretful.
Kareem... His one percent of the shares was given by Old Buss.
When the Magic bought the Los Angeles Dodgers, they invested more than 300 million yuan and sold the Lakers' shares in order to pool the money. So Jenny Buss cast a blank eye on Magic's idea of ​​buying the Lakers.
You want me to be willing to sell, but you have to be rich!
Finally, there is a shareholder who owns 2% of the Lakers' shares, H&L. The boss behind this company is Liu Ren, and of course, the apparent boss is also the actual manager is Chen Hanni.
It was Jenny Buss who contacted the chick to buy the 2% of the shares. The best candidate was a magician, but the magician couldn’t afford to do that kind of business. He sold 20 million and bought 50 million. half?
So Jenny Buss found a chick who had a lot of cooperation with the Lakers and bought this part of the equity.
This is the best choice, but Jenny Buss doesn’t know how much Chen Hanni can spend...
...

Is there a new training hall?
This is what caused a big sensation within the Lakers team.
"I can't stand this broken arena for a long time, do you know the boss? My locker room cabinet and Robert's cabinet are connected! There is a hole in the middle!" Nick Yang kept spitting.
"You can find a carpenter to take a board and nail it? I really can't bear the more than one hundred dollars, can I find a board and nail it by myself?" Liu Ren was unable to complain. He heard this strange complaint more than once today. And excited.
"NO! This is what the arena operation should do! I don't want to pay that money and nail it? Lord, forgive my friend, he didn't mean to say this, he is a foreigner." Nick Yang quickly made it. Prayer-like.
What the hell? Liu Ren looked at Nick Yang's sudden transformation into a Christian, instantly confused.
Liu Ren took out his cell phone and checked the nails where he had offended Jesus. After searching for a long time, he saw that it turned out that was nailed to death on the cross, so Christians cannot nail nails...Of course, this is from the forum. I don’t know if people’s replies are true or not, but Liu Ren sees Nick Yang’s reaction in all likelihood.
"No wonder the labor is expensive here in the United States..." Liu Ren really couldn't complain.
But, the new training hall, who wouldn't expect it? Liu Ren was often ridiculed about running into the women's locker room when he met Fireworks players at the Toyota Center. It was embarrassing!
When Liu Ren was an unknown foreign player, no one ridiculed him. Now he is hot. In the past two years, he has been teased by those open female counterparts, especially the young players who have newly joined the Sparks. The clothes were shown to the "voyeur" who broke into the women's dressing room.
There is a big loli in the family who often wears cute and revealing COS costumes, which is very difficult for Liu Ren to hold. This is the female athlete!
The Lakers' training today is very easy. Tonight, on the 21st, the Lakers will face the challenge of the Toronto Raptors, so the daytime training is all bubble tactics to prepare for the night game.
The Raptors have gained momentum this year and jumped to second place in the Eastern Conference. Now the Knicks with 9 wins and 3 losses are ranked second with a 9 wins and 2 losses record. The Cavaliers rank first with a record of 10 wins and 2 losses.
The Raptors have the feeling that they have replaced the Eagles last season. The Eagles miraculously won 60 wins last year. This year they have returned to the flat, hovering between four and six in the Eastern Conference. After all, their style of play without superstars. Still felt through, returning to the ordinary again.
Since the Eagles and Wizards are vying for the first place in the division, whoever has the better record of the two teams will be fourth in the Western Conference. Only these two teams are temporarily ranked in the top eight in the Eastern Conference in the Southeast Division, which means that the Hawks still have a chance to score. The top four in the east.
And the Raptors, adhering to the same style of play as the Hawks, why are they still bucking the trend in an era when this team play is penetrated?
Because they also have their mini Big Three!
Kyrie Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, and Jonas Valanciunas, the three of them have averaged 60 points, 21 rebounds and 12 assists per game this season. They can be considered properly. For the Big Three.
The Raptors have key players that the Hawks do not have.
But even if the Raptors hit second in the Eastern Conference, the Eastern Conference can be regarded as a championship team or only the Cavaliers and Knicks...
Playing the Raptors, the Lakers playing the Raptors, is a hot spot for fans!
For more than ten years, Kobe broke out every time he encountered the Raptors. I won’t say 81 points. When the Lakers hit the playoffs at the end of the 12-13 season, Kobe had a clear lead in the last moments of the Raptors. At the time, he made three three-pointers and dragged the game into overtime to reverse the Raptors.
After Kobe returned from the 14-15 season ~EbookFREE.me~ the first game was to play the Raptors, and then scored 51 points.
Kobe is in a bad state recently. Every team uses Kobe’s struggle against opponents higher than himself to deal with him, and he is the kind of old stubborn who absolutely believes in himself, absolutely stubborn, and desperately wants to do it again. Prove himself once, but age is cruel, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't recover the impact of that serious injury and age.
However, playing the Raptors... fans believe that Kobe will give a very different answer.
At least playing the Raptors, Lakers fans are looking forward to Kobe's breakout!
The Internet is full of posts about the Lakers and the Raptors game, and most of the posts are listing the various brutal performances of Kobe against the Raptors, what 81 points, and 51 points after his comeback. In 09 In the -10 season, Kobe led the team to reverse the Raptors by 20 points... Wait, wait, even the Raptors fans who were defeated are looking forward to watching Kobe perform brilliantly.
The Lakers players are naturally happy to see everyone supporting them, and the Raptors players said that they have some inexplicable relationship with the dogs...
