Chapter 117 116: Legend or Joke?(2/3)
Lakers career is really exciting!
Shea read a report in his previous life. Barkley said in an interview that he was almost traded to the Lakers in the summer of 1992.
When he received the notice from his agent, Barkley was so happy that he celebrated in advance and got drunk.
Although Barkley will often defeat the Lakers as a commentator in the future, if he can really go to the big market, his body will not lie.
As a result, when he sobered up the next day, he was told that the transaction was cancelled!
In the original history, the Lakers gave Divac the fifth-highest contract in the league, and Worthy, Byron Scott and others were still on the team.
Therefore, there is no room to sign Barkley directly, and we can only seek to sign first and then trade.
Everyone knows what happened after that. The Suns used better chips to win the right to use Barkley from the 76ers.
But this history is different, Logo men just go to whoring for free!
Logo: What is free prostitution? We call this a feeling that cannot be measured with chips!
In the end, the Lakers completed the robbery.
And it was an even more complete robbery.
After all, the Lakers didn't even give up any chips!
After training in the afternoon, when Shay turned on the TV, the sports news was full of the pig's head.
"Charles Barkley signed with the Los Angeles Lakers for three years and 9 million to join forces with Shea!"
"Big dream replacement? Fliggy suddenly joins the Lakers!"
"76ers GM: We were robbed!"
Ridiculing the Lakers from total embarrassment for missing out on Olajuwon.
The flying pigs parachuted into Los Angeles in shock.
This is the Lakers, their operations can always destabilize the entire league.
Drexler suffered a heart attack!
Damn it, can you give me a good time?
I just breathed a sigh of relief a few days ago, but today a flying pig descended from the sky.
West, you really stabbed someone in the lungs!
Jordan laughed. To be honest, if Dameng joined the Lakers, Danzi felt that there might be a little bit of pressure.
After all, the Bulls' interior line is really weak.
But Barkley?
Hahahaha, I beat you to a pulp in the playoffs!
On the Suns side, the tears were gone.
It was originally a joke about the Lakers, but it turned out to be a joke!
For a time, the whole country was discussing Barkley joining the Lakers.
Barkley has never made more headlines in his life.
This is the added attribute of a big city!
On September 2, the Flying Pig Jazz officially arrived in Los Angeles, and the Lakers also held a press conference for him in the hotel.
Feizhu, with his bald head and shiny face, raised his No. 34 jersey with the Lakers together with West.
Barkley smiled brightly, while West smiled superficially.
Damn, Barkley’s belly is about to burst through his shirt!
How did this guy get so fat in one summer?
The press conference began, and the reporters were extremely positive.
Most of the questions reporters asked were related to the Lakers' current biggest star, Shea.
"Charles, have you met Shay?"
"Not yet, but soon, I believe we will get along very happily."
"Happy? If I remember correctly last season, you guys even hugged and threw each other during the game, right? This grudge is over like this?"
Barkley spread his hands:
"Man, you know, Shay and I have always been brothers.
How can there be hatred between brothers? We were just joking before.
It was because of my brothers that I decided to take my talents to Los Angeles.
Me and Shay together, we're going to win.
And not one, not two.
I will be the rebound leader, he will be the assist leader, and then we will win the championship together.
Hatred? It doesn’t exist at all!”
After Barkley finished speaking, West secretly admired the shamelessness of Fliggy.
As expected of a pig, he is really thick-skinned.
How can you say these nonsense!
Xie Yi, who was watching the live broadcast, was speechless. When did I have a brother like you?
First of all, we are different species!
You are 20 years ahead of your time and playing brother basketball, right?
At the press conference, Barkley performed very well.
This big mouth is not talking nonsense.
But after the press conference, the problem arose.
As soon as Barkley and West walked backstage after the press conference, the pig restlessly asked West a question:
"Jerry, I am the core of the team, right?"
Barkley is serious. He didn't come to the Lakers to be a rookie's little brother.
If word spreads that you are holding the rookie's lap, how will you still be able to hang out in the world in the future?
At the press conference just now, almost all the questions reporters asked were related to Shay, which made Barkley a little unhappy.
Why does it seem like I'm here to assist Shay?
West's expression didn't change. He already had the skills to deal with it:
"Strictly speaking, you two are the core.
But don't worry, Shea is not that kind of selfish player, and your right to take shots will not be reduced."
"It's best like this. Let's go to the arena."
After appeasing the flying pig, West let out a big sigh of relief.
The relationship between Barkley and Shay has always been West's biggest worry.
Buckley's character is hard to convince anyone.
So does Shay.
Of course, the relationship between Magic and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was also very bad at the time.
But this does not affect the fact that after they got to know each other, they brought so many championship trophies to the team together.
Therefore, West believes that as long as they are handled properly, Barkley and Shay can get along happily.
He doesn't need Barkley and Shay to be brothers, they just need to be like ordinary colleagues.
At this point, West's work this summer has been basically completed.
Although it is not perfect, it is missing a big dream.
But the Lakers next season will never be heard saying "we have more answers than them" again!
Sprewell, P.J. Brown, Clifford Robinson and Barkley.
The joining of these four people will improve the team in all aspects.
What's more, the Lakers still have a Shay who is still growing wildly!
Now, there is only one last question left before the Lakers can show off their talents next season - who will lead this team?
While seducing Dream and hunting flying pigs, West has also been looking for a head coach candidate.
At first, West's target was Daley, who had just left the Pistons.
This coach who is qualified to lead the Dream Team to compete in the Olympics is undoubtedly the Lakers' first choice.
