NBA: Enhanced Edition Antetokounmpo At The Start

Chapter 179

Chapter 178 Summer is not over yet!

Dennis Rodman’s speech directly put the grievance between him and Pippen on Xiaoming’s face.

All the reporters at the scene were dumbfounded by this sentence.

Before Pippen and Jordan won the championship, Rodman had already won the championship.

And still stepped on the Bulls – stepped on the Choppy duo for three consecutive seasons, advanced to the finals three times, and won two championships!

No wonder Pippen was so furious in Game 1 of the finals last season.

“But Dennis, we found out that you seem to have asked the fist first?”

The reporters in Los Angeles have also seen the big scene.

They thought about it carefully.

If Rodman said this first, then Pi Erye should be the first to break the defense.

Why did Rodman, who seemed to have the upper hand, act first?

The plot goes back to the sidelines of Game 1 of the 1996-97 NBA Finals.

People realized that Pippen was babbling on and off before Rodman broke.

“Dennis, can you tell us what Scotty said to you late?

It has to be said that journalists in Los Angeles are really tough to deal with.

The worm, who is used to crushing Chicago reporters with IQ, has really met his opponent.

Even f*ck’s memory kill is pulled out.

It is indeed the city of angels!

“That doesn’t matter anymore. 99

Rodman changed the subject online: “You guys need to know that I’m going to win the championship before Scotty, and that’s enough.”

While the Los Angeles reporters were still trying to get to the bottom of it, Rodman gave them a good look.

The reporters at the scene fled in an instant, ah no, they scattered to find other Lakers players and conduct interviews.

They really feel:

If he kept asking, he might be beaten to death by Rodman in Los Angeles.

“Be nicer to journalists, Dennis. 19

Del Harris came over and gave Rodman a piece of advice: “You know, this is Los Angeles.”19

“Your every move will be magnified, magnified, and magnified again.

Silver Fox can already expect it.

Rodman’s glaring eyes at the media will be rendered by 583 as what kind of evil forces.

Although the Lakers have been engraved with the name of the boxing team since Portland last season.

But in any case, the image in front of the media still has to be paid attention to.

“I’m glad I can win another championship in Los Angeles, and I also want to officially announce that I will be retiring this season. 39

Then Kenny Smith, who was interviewed, broke the news:

“I can’t run anymore, last season was my last energy.

Kenny Smith shrugged.

In the original timeline, Kenny Smith should have announced his retirement in the summer of ’97.

The reason why he waited until the start of the new season training camp followed the news of his retirement.

Simply because Kenny Smith wanted to see the championship flag being raised at Staples.

Alert yourself to the NBA that you will always love.

“I have already negotiated with T, NT TV, after the first game, I will officially retire and join T, NT.

At this point in his career, Kenny Smith is at ease.

Pointing to an interviewer with a T, NT work card, Kenny Smith quipped: “Dude, maybe in a few months, we’ll be partners.

Kenny Smith’s remarks eased the stiff atmosphere that was originally due to his unexpected retirement.

But at the same time, it also made the reporters think of a key question.

In the summer of 1997, the team with the most frequent operations was undoubtedly the New York Nice.

Nice turned the summer night of ’97 into a completely orange stage.

They completely rebuilt and sent away most of the team’s main core last season in exchange for the young trident of two wolves and one shark.

The Boston Celtics also made a difference.

They used a potential rookie + team core center, and a stud gave Scottie Pippen the right to use for a season.

The Green Army in the new season is also the champion.

On the other hand, the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.

With the two teams in the East renovated in an instant, what did they do?

With the first round pick, signed a high school rookie.

Judging from the summer league, this young man named Stephen Jackson.

You can play anything, but you can’t play ball.

Compared with the two rookies acquired by the Lakers in 1996, the first-round pick they selected in 1997 is a bit of a draw.

only.

That is, Stephen Jackson doesn’t know: The media actually compares himself with the two rookies acquired by the Lakers in the summer of 1996.

If he finds out, he is afraid that he will directly hammer these media from the beginning to the end.

Can you tell me who the two rookies that the Lakers acquired in 1996 were f*ck?

That’s Allen Iverson!

That’s Mo Ran!

The first-round picks in NBA history are sitting in rows, and it is not too many to be able to challenge Iverson.

Challenging Mo Ran’s, that’s almost none.

Compare Moai with yourself?

Do you find it funny?

In addition to Stephen Jackson, a first-round pick that looks rather watery, the Lakers also signed Ree Foss in free agency in the summer.

That’s a good deal.

After all, Foss was a high-quality starter for the Celtics, averaging 15 points per game.

But, that’s all.

For a defending champion team, and the opponent is gradually stronger.

Just making up a high-quality rotation is obviously not a good grade.

Then, I have to mention Dennis Rodman.

The Lakers signed Rodman, in the eyes of the media, is to sign another bodyguard for the Moai duo.

Wouldn’t anyone really expect the current Rodman to shine?

No way? No way?

Plus now, Kenny Smith has announced his retirement.

The Lakers didn’t have much reinforcement this summer.

Check out Stud Pippen’s Celtics, see a thoroughly rebuilt New York City.

Could the Lakers not want to defend their title?

Therefore, around the issue of the Lakers’ summer signings, the reporters aimed the microphone at Jerry West on the sidelines.

“Of course we want to defend the title.

The LOGO came up and the showdown was revealed: “Not just defending the title, the team’s goal is to achieve three consecutive championships and rebuild the Lakers dynasty.”

Just defending the title?

Do you look down on Moai too much?

With the big and small kings in hand, the Lakers are starting with the triple crown, and the top is not capped.

“But the team’s summer signings are very average, you are almost not active in the trading market.”

The reporter at the scene said it very directly: “But other teams are not idle. New York Nice and Boston Celtics, the police have improved to varying degrees in the summer.

The Eastern doubles have already been eyeing the championship.

The operation of the Lakers in the summer is almost equivalent to sitting still.

“First of all, I want to say that the biggest reinforcement for the team in the summer is to ensure the health of Xiao Mo Ran and Allen.

Jerry West came up with a wave of emotional intelligence: “Secondly, we got Ree Foss, Stephen, and Dennis Lord (bhcf) Mann.

“Finally, I want to say that summer is not over yet~”

Summer isn’t over yet?

The reporters at the scene were stunned by Jerry West’s words.

Ha ha, summer is not over yet.

Isn’t it all September, it’s almost October?

Summer is long over, and it’s autumn!

But the reporters thought again.

Perhaps, the summer in LOGO’s mouth is not summer in a broad sense, but refers to the fact that the player trading market has not yet closed!

Thinking of this, the reporters reacted instantly.

“You mean, does the Los Angeles Lakers have a follow-up signing plan?”

The reporters at the scene hurried to ask questions.

But Jerry West merely smiled.

First of all, he does have a good reinforcement plan in his hands, but LOGO wants to consult Mo Ran’s opinion.

Likewise, West is waiting.

Waiting for Mo Ran to give himself a bolstered roster.

Now that it is only the end of September, the new season has not started yet.

There is no hurry to deal with such things.

certainly.

Jerry West’s delaying strategy instantly made the management of each NBA team feel like they were facing a big enemy and sounded the alarm.

Look at West last year without the sharks, hard for Mo Ran.

All-stars were dismissed and Iverson was taken.

Then he picked up the big book + Bowen, and won Robert Horry, Curry and others in a quick and accurate trade.

Any transaction that was not optimistic before the transaction has become a masterpiece in the hands of LOGO.

Just ask.

In the league, who else would dare to make a deal with the general manager of this level of police?

actually.

The increased vigilance of Jerry West by the management of the league teams is also the reason why the Lakers have not moved.

West is very clear that any trade plan he makes now will become the focus of attention of each team.

Players who are optimistic about themselves are afraid that they will be inspected by the player’s home team for trial training without waiting for a bargaining chip.

So, LOGO is not just waiting for Mo Ran’s reinforcement list.

There is also the opportunity to play hard again after each team has gradually stabilized!

“Mo, this is the reinforcement plan you gave me?”

Lakers management office.

Seeing the player information submitted by Mo Ran, Jerry West was a little surprised: “It really is your style.”

yes.

The player Mo Ran recommended this time was a second-round pick in 1995.

Like Big Ben and Bowen, his career history can only be described as bleak.

In the first two seasons of his career, he averaged 2.7 points per game and 3 points per game.

The data performance of other aspects is also not optimistic.

Like Big Ben and Bowen, this is a presence that Jerry West won’t notice.

“Erie can fill the void after Kenny’s retirement.”

Mo Ran said: “Although his scoring ability is weak, his defense and passing are above the pass line.”

“With limited playing time, Eli could be a good rotation point guard for the team.”

“Having him partner with Allen in the backcourt can perfectly make up for Allen’s lack of defense and organization.

Can you make up for Allen Iverson’s defensive + organizational shortcomings?

Jerry West took the chin.

Is this second-round pick named Eli Snow really so amazing?

In fact.

No wonder the LOGO hesitated.

in the original timeline.

The defensive point guard named Eli Snow, the first three seasons of his career, are mediocre.

The average score per game was only 3 points and a few points, and all the data were fully closed.

Looks like a reservist for the unemployed.

However, it was in the fourth season of his career when he established himself with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Eli Snow, ushered in the peak of life.

I think the 76ers reached the finals, leaving aside the strong support of Allen Iverson and Uncle Mu.

Eli Snow’s obscure playmaking, as well as his ability on the defensive end, also contributed.

Now, Kenny Smith is about to retire.

How to use the smallest chips in exchange for the most powerful assistance on the backup point guard line.

Snow is the best choice.

It is worth mentioning that the arrival of Snow can allow Al to come to his favorite shooting guard position.

Next season, the Lakers’ rotation tactics will return, and Iverson will only focus on offense, no need to worry about defense and organization!

This is the maximum liberation of Iverson’s offensive firepower, allowing him to fully show his offensive around China.

“Sounds really good, I’ll think about it. 99

Jerry West had written down Eli Snow’s name, and then handed the player information he liked to Mo Ran.

Looking at the person recommended by the LOGO, Mo Ran was suffocated.

Or really have to laugh.

Is it really that funny?

Really so funny.

Because Mo Ran and Jerry West both wanted to pick up cheap wool.

Then, the two of them actually found the same sheep.

That sheep’s name is: Philadelphia 76ers!
