Chapter 1090 The mysterious Jerry West(1/2)

Jordan and Olajuwon join forces are really not happy.

This is the best helper they can find between each other.

Olajuwon believes that Jordan is the super giant among the super giants, and in addition to becoming Jordan, the player he wants to be the most is Olajuwon.

They have enough appreciation for each other.

Although Olajuwon did not form a deep friendship with Jordan like Barkley, he was a better player.

Especially considering that the upcoming 1994-95 season was one of Olajuwon's two most peak seasons in his career, the more terrifying his team-up with Jordan is.

Jordan and Barkley are two people who have no solutions on the offensive end.

Jordan and Olajuwon are two people who have no solution to the offense and no solution to the defense.

However, Olajuwon has natural defects that inside players have.

Once he encounters a large-scale wing group, his game will be very difficult, and the Warriors, Knicks and Heat have excellent wing lineups. Therefore, the Trail Blazers cannot return to the top with the joining of Dameng.

Because Thomas and Sabonis' injuries cannot be reversed, they are destined to return in the new season.

From a global perspective, the foreseeable 95 Trail Blazers should be similar to the 92 Trail Blazers.

The former has Jordan and Olajuwon, who are three years older, while the latter has Jordan and Barkley in their heyday. Moreover, the Trail Blazers' wing group has not yet experienced significant aging.

Sampson, Barkley, Olajuwon, Drexler, Wilson.

These five big fish rolled up stormy waves during the offseason.

Danny Manning, who was already dissatisfied with his own situation, began to dislike the Indiana Temple being small.

Since there is still one year left in the contract, he feels that now is a good opportunity to force the palace.

Manning's team gave Donny Walsh an ultimatum.

Either let Wilson change his mind and join the Pacers or trade him.

After Manning suddenly became the magician in the 1981-82 season (also called the magician at the time), the superstar that home fans most disliked.

The impact of this incident on foreign fans is comparable to that of the 2017-18 season. When no one expected it, Woj, who never made false information, suddenly revealed to the public that Kawhi Leonard had a estrangement from the Spurs and wanted to leave.

All non-Spurs fans were shocked.

In those years, everyone accepted the character of "robot" and "Duncan II" created by Spurs fans for Leonard.

We all thought Leonard would live his life like Duncan, neither humble nor arrogant, and listen to Popovich like a dog.

Later we learned that Spurs fans' good expectations for Leonard were an unrealistic wish.

Leonard is not Duncan, he has greater ambitions. For example, he prefers to play in a team that takes casual shots and scores 30+ in a single game without being scolded by the coach.

Manning's situation was exactly the same, except that his methods were much ugly than Leonard.

After Woj broke the news, Leonard also showed up to the media and said that he did not want to leave, but the Spurs fans gave up until Popovich and Duncan personally lobbying but couldn't even see him.

Manning didn't have these steps at all. His approach directly filled the hatred value, making him the most annoying sports star in Indiana in recent decades.

"The players are so messy nowadays. They have made a lot of money and got everything they want, but they are still not satisfied!"

Pacers' general manager Donny Walsh complained about the matter.

They knew that Manning had decided to leave.

Louis, who was far away in New York and hesitated for his next stop, did not think that Manning's approach was wrong.

Maybe he is the culprit.

Louis made the Celtics of the 1980s a team that monopolized the championship, and then made the Knicks a stronger team.

To shake such a rule, a team of the same level is needed.

So the Trail Blazers and other teams will try every means to strengthen and absorb a large number of talents, which will make the Indiana-led small ball without any hope.

Manning acted so ruthlessly because he knew he would get nothing in Indiana.

There is no need for him to waste his peak here. When he is old and weak, he feels unable to do anything, he will regret his choice when he was young.

Of course, the signing of those heavyweight players is also the main reason that prompted Manning to go to extremes.

Louis put himself in his shoes and thought about it. What would he think if he was Manning, who saw a great player like Sampson, who could not lead the Celtics, so he chose to leave the team?

When Manning saw Drexler lose in the fight with Jordan, he joined forces with his college buddies to create a career in the Clippers. But after a two-year waste wasted due to his inhumanity, he finally had to lower his posture and follow Sampson's pace. What should he think?

While you can still grasp your own destiny, explore more possibilities. This is the attitude of being responsible to yourself.

But the fans are still innocent...

Louis would not despise Manning for this incident, but he just felt that some things could be done more tactfully.

What happened this summer is destined to be recorded in history.

This is undoubtedly the most amazing offseason in NBA history, with many transfers that have changed the league landscape.

Just like in the summer of 1984, the Pan-84 generation began to enter the league, and Louis transferred to New York - the former will bring many young talents to the league, while the latter will change the history of professional basketball decades.

The changes caused by that offseason were not broken until the summer of 1994.

It can be imagined that everything that happened this summer will create a new pattern and will most likely be maintained until the new century before it will be broken.

The second day of negotiation

Today, Jerry West and Mickey Kupchek are going to negotiate with Louis.

Yesterday's negotiations can only be considered a warm-up. Hearn and the Tragedy are both big names of the Lakers, but neither hold real power.

If Louis joins the Lakers, only West and Bass will really have an impact on his work.

Only when these three people talked about it can Louis make the final decision.

Louis has slept very late these days and got up very early.

Since he decided to leave the team, his insomnia symptoms have disappeared.

Louis has a long-lost feeling of relaxation, and the Knicks is a heavy burden.

How many times have he complained about Ewing in front of others these days? That is actually a manifestation of venting stress.

“Is the negotiation going well?”

The good news is that Lorraine recently finished filming the new season of "Happy Family".

In this way, Louis might not have to make a decision alone.

"Malena, are there any arrangements tomorrow?" Louis asked.

Lorraine knew as soon as she heard this, if she hadn't made any arrangements, her husband would make it clear for her.

“Are there any plans?”

Louis smiled and said, "If it's convenient, I hope you can join me in the negotiations tomorrow."

"Is this...need me?"

"You need, don't you know how to look at people best? I need you to help me see Jerry Bass's eyes are really insincere."

Lorraine said: "But he always wears sunglasses."

"I'll let him take it off, and most importantly, I hope to make a decision with you."

Because, this is not Louis is leaving New York, but their family is leaving New York.

The final decision lies with Lorraine. If she doesn't like this decision, she will refuse.

"If you want me to go, I will go with you." Lorraine said humorously, "There are seven orifices on a human body. I probably only know one thing about basketball. I can't help you make a decision."

"I know, so I just need you to help me observe Jerry."

"Then I'm very good at it, you know, I'm the kind of actor with a strong sense of immersion. Whoever is deeply involved in the role and who is using skills to get through it, I can tell at a glance..."

Well, well, although Louis thinks that Lorraine's acting skills are not very good at judging other people's performances, considering that there are a large number of people on the Internet who have never even played the entire game, they can use a contemptuous tone to criticize all the stars you can think of, so this is not too much.

Louis was driving, looking forward to today's meeting.

He believes West and Kupchek already have answers to his questions.

But in fact, none of these answers are critical, because if he goes to the Lakers, he will have to find the answer by himself in the end.

What he really needs to know is whether West and Kupchek are trustworthy.

Kupchek can be ignored. Regarding West, Louis has known him for many years, but he has never had any in-depth contact.

In 1987, when they were most in touch, West robbed David Robinson from Holy City through a plan given by Louis, and then because Baylor failed to keep the secret, he took Scotty Pippen in the draft.

With this, West became a god, which made the media in Los Angeles believe that he would become an excellent director like Bill Sharman 1.

Then what? The Lakers still can't pass the Knicks level.

The tragedy infected the Hiv and the showtime Lakers fell.

Even so, Louis still didn't know West, and he had asked Baylor about West.

Baylor said in a joke: "I don't know why, Jerry is the most perfect person I have ever met, the one who should be happy, but never feels happy, and doesn't think he is perfect at all. I think he is really inferior."

Can Louis find some revelation in his joke about his comrades who have been with West for almost the entire career?
