Chapter 619 Not a real Laker
The place where Buss meets Wei Xia is the golf course he had taken the plate a while ago.
In recent years, as Old Bass' health has been deteriorating and no longer has the energy to run a family business, his successor plan can only be accelerated.
Even though his daughter Jenny looks much more reliable than her younger son Jim, Bass, who subconsciously favors boys over girls, still regards Jim as the only successor.
He only has one requirement for Jim: no matter how your business is, no matter what you turn the team into. You can never, ever, never have the idea of selling the Lakers.
Old Buss knows the value of the Lakers. Even if his record falls to the bottom, he can still become a joke for Los Angeles like the Knicks.
You can still make money if you cannot win, but the advantages of being in a good place and being in harmony are so unreasonable.
Since Bus Jr.'s scouting department has won almost every year since he elected Wei Xia in 2005. The team-building core players such as Wei Xia and Gasol Jr., as well as main players like Lowry and Fairlanders who cannot be underestimated. The most incredible thing is that in those years, the players they selected hardly could not play in the NBA.
The draft department has made many achievements, indirectly allowing the Lakers to complete the reconstruction.
Old Bass once again delegated power to Little Bass on this grounds.
But Bus Jr. does not have the skills of Old Bus and cannot handle the complex internal contradictions of the Lakers.
At the player level, the Gasol brothers, as the core of the inside, were in a group. Fairlanders was seriously injured by former Lakers player Ariza during the game. During the recovery period, he actually felt nostalgic for his hometown and has been out of control since then.
Fairlanders and Lowry left the team at the same time.
One is homesickness, and the other is that the big contract is not satisfied.
The Lakers' reasons for letting Lowry go are the same as those for letting Wei Xia go: Judging from the current games and data, Kyle Lowry will be a good player, but he will never be able to become an All-Star.
Well, even if you can't become an All-Star, you are still the main force with excellent standards.
However, the Lakers did not match even 20 million in four years.
Lowry went to the Rockets, Fairlanders returned to Spain, Bynum caused trouble, and Gasol brothers joined the group, and Kobe was unable to use his prestige to calm the locker room.
Bass, a little self-righteous and innocent fantasy, said: "When Paul Gasol grows old, won't Bynum get on the throne? What's the hurry?"
Not everyone is as tolerant as Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Not everyone has the capital to endure.
How can a madman like Bynum, who is young but has infinite talent and looks down upon him for many years? Besides, Gasol is two years younger than him, so no matter what, the other party should be the substitute for him.
This is a contradiction that the Lakers cannot resolve.
Bynum has infinite possibilities, he is still young, and the chemistry, tacit understanding and adaptability that have been fought over several years are incomparable to Bynum.
Phil Jackson's choice says it all.
Since Mark Gasol joined, Bynum has not played a game as long as he has not been absent.
Now, Bynum has become the Lakers' most unpredictable time bomb.
He will explode at any time, no one knows how powerful it will be, and it is best to transfer the bomb to a safe position before it is ignited.
Little Buss put his heart and black moonlight on the shelves reluctantly, "I'm going to shoot all stars, come with sincerity!"
Bus Jr. attaches great importance to Bynum. He hopes to exchange Bynum for a superstar. Therefore, when others propose to use a player of a quasi-All-star level to make a deal, he doesn't even listen and just asks the other party to get out and don't waste his time.
This is the value of Bynum in his heart: no one can change it if he is not a superstar.
This is also until today, the trading deadline for the 2010-11 season is almost here, and Bynum's Lakers jersey is still worn well.
After all, no team will suddenly drop the IQ and use the superstars in the team to exchange for a potential inside line that may be able to score in the All-Stars.
Weisha arrived at the golf course designated by Little Bus, and the opponent was about to score a good ball.
Unfortunately, his swing is comparable to Charles Barkley.
The goal he scored was much worse than his goal.
"Awesome, Mr. Bass, if the air hadn't had too much resistance, he would have scored a goal hole!"
Wei Xia looked at a young and gorgeous beauty beside Little Bus, giving him hypocritical praise in a tone that was like poking his eyes and ignoring the facts.
Little Bus is very helpful: "I knew you understood me, Mellie."
"Have I disturbed your Yaxing, Mr. Bass?" Wei Xia spoke.
Seeing Wei Xia, Little Bus was as kind as seeing his relatives, "Where is, Wish! I'm so happy to see you living so well in Philadelphia!"
As we all know, Wei Xia was once the most trusted player of Buss.
After Wei Xia was torn apart in the ACL, he was also the first to bear the brunt of the Paul Wai, but his sister Jenny proposed not to give Wei Xia a maximum salary. Then, Old Bass made a comprehensive assessment of Wei Xia. When they learned that many teams had provided a theoretical maximum salary, they withdrew their offer.
Old Bass is the decision-making person, Jenny is the fueling player, and Wei Xia is the top five players in the league at the Sixers, which undoubtedly proves how stupid the Lakers' decision was in the summer of 2010.
"I'm very happy to see you again." Wei Xia replied.
Buss asked: "Hit?"
“I miss this sport so much.”
Philadelphia is not without golf courses, but few people would invite Wei Xia to play golf. Cousins in reality seems to have no special interest. Hayward likes to play computer games, and Lu Wei Wei wanders between women and recording studios. The ones who have more contact with Wei Xia are old teammates who come from the Lakers, such as Hollins and Weaver.
Therefore, Wei Xia hasn't played golf for a long time.
He was even more outrageous than Bus Jr.
What else can Shirley say about Buss’ goal? “As long as there is no air resistance, you will definitely score.” Wei Xia’s goal, even if there is no air resistance, she can’t score.
Because it was completely wrong.
"No, Wish, your golf skills are getting worse and worse!" Buss smiled, "Did you have too much pressure on the 76ers and don't have time to play golf?"
Wei Xia smiled bitterly: "Maybe."
Meli flirted with Bass as if no one was around, and she misjudged the situation.
"Go and get some drinks for us, Mellie." Little Bus called the idiot woman with only a good face.
They played golf for a while and then began to accidentally approach sensitive topics.
"Thanks to you, my father can feel at ease to hand over the team to me."
Bass suddenly mentioned this.
"Thanks to me?" Wei Xia couldn't understand.
"You know, I was the only person who asked to keep you with maximum salary, but you also know that ACL tear is the natural enemy of superstars. No one could foresee that you would survive and fight so well." Little Bus said happily, "When my father recognized me, my sister naturally had no chance."
Wei Xia couldn't help but ask: "Why no one thinks I can get through it?"
He felt that he was not a person who relied on his physical fitness to play.
Although explosive power can make him reach the highest level, he can still play well without explosive power.
"Even if my father knows that you have achieved what you are today, he may not necessarily keep you."
"Why?"
Wei Xia and Old Bass have only met several times, both at the Lakers' regular New Year's Eve party every year.
In those few faces, Old Bass gave him a good impression.
"Wish, you are very good. I think you can support the future of the Lakers after Kobe grows old, but my father thinks..." Buss Jr. faces Wei Xia's eyes, "You are very good, but not as good as he imagined."
Wei Xia already knew why the Lakers gave him up. Bus Jr.'s words made him understand the whole story more.
Regardless of the super giants in Lakers' history before Old Bus took over.
After Old Bass took over, the four generations of Angel City masters - Tiangou Kareem, the first person in the 1970s, was always one of the most dominant centers in the league before 1985; the Magician, the best point guard in history, his face is the ticket, but he could make fans dance on the court; then the Magic retired unexpectedly, and during the several years of window period, Worthy, Scott, Divac, and Cedric Sebatisian (Cedric
At the peak of these four people, no one is not the supreme in the world, no one is not the alliance's storefront, no one is following wherever they go.
For Old Bass, Weisha is not a player of this level.
Only players of this level are qualified to become the masters of Angel City.
This is the history of the Lakers: the greatest No. 1 position in history (Magician); the second and third scoring guards in history (Bobby and LOGO men); one of the most all-round small forwards in history (Baylor); the first super giant in NBA history (McCann), one of the two best centers in the 1960s (Chamberlain), the best center in the 1970s (Tian Gou) and the Sharks in modern times - Wilkes, Worthy, Goodridge, Coopers and others have to go back... The stars are shining, this is the Lakers.
This is related to cities. American cities are all mixed-race, and where to get mixed-race means urban spirit.
New Yorkers still have the Dutch navigator style, while Boston has a stubborn and tough New England style.
The word Los Angeles itself is in Spanish - this place was originally a Spanish colony.
What is Spain's personality? It's gorgeous, elegant and elegant. What I like is a beautiful and novelty, and the Lakers are the same.
In the 1960s, there were Baylor and West, the Gemini who scored 35 points each with happy ones; in the 1980s, there was a "show moment" with mercury falling from the ground, followed by Sharks and Kobe.
The city of Los Angeles would not believe Jerry Sloan's overall strategy in Salt Lake City, nor would he bother with the Cardinal in the Celtics, Popovich's semi-militarized management of the Spurs.
What the Lakers pursue is often the biggest player, the most gorgeous style, the most successful coach, and the strongest viewing ability.
And Wei Xia, his characteristic is the opposite of all this.
Low-key, simple, disliked spotlights, and had the title of media killer. The political incorrect storm that shocked the world in 2008 almost ruined his future - he was like a mixture of young people and Celtics living in the 1970s, rebellious and self-principle, tenacious but not showing his edge. These seemingly beautiful qualities are incompatible with the Lakers.
