Chapter 310 309: The probability of entering the playoffs is only 01? Defending the title(2/3)

The entire league is eyeing the Lakers' opponents, ready to tear Shay, the down-and-out Lion King, into pieces.

The Lakers are the most trafficked team in the league. If you kill the Lakers, the traffic will be yours!

This is not the first time that Logo has been frustrated in transactions this year. This year, his signing plans have been repeatedly frustrated.

The feeling of becoming the public enemy is not very pleasant.

After hearing this, Shay just shrugged, which is normal. This is how it is after winning consecutive championships for a long time.

Seeing that Logo and Old Bass were unhappy, Shay patted their shoulders:

"The whole world wants us to be finished, including that old boy Stern.

Under such circumstances, if we can really win four consecutive championships

Don’t you think it’s very enjoyable?

Regarding signings, don’t worry about Logo.

In fact, I think our lineup is not unable to cope with the situation next season.

Those two boys, Jermaine O'Neal and Ben Wallace, are making progress all the time.

Stephen Jackson, who is playing in Europe, we can also recall him.

I still have confidence in our team.

Of course, if you have to introduce new members, I will give you a name.

Take a look and try to get him here."

Seeing that Shay is still confident, Logo's confidence in next season has also increased a lot.

I think back then, it was Logo who calmly strategized and took control of the overall situation.

Unexpectedly, one day I would also need players to motivate me.

However, after seeing the signing name that Shay gave him, Logo began to doubt his life again.

Are you serious about this guy Shay?

Shay seemed to understand the meaning of Logo's expression, so he immediately smiled:

"Believe me Logo, that guy just has no one to train him.

You know me, I am very good at training.

If you leave him to me, he will be of great use!"

Afterwards, Shay whistled and walked to the training ground.

If we talk about the press conference, Shay might have been pretending to be confident in front of outsiders.

So now, Logo really believes that Shay feels confident of winning the fourth consecutive championship.

Can.

Logo himself has no confidence!

But the only thing he can do now is to cooperate with Shay as much as possible.

When the Lakers were struggling in the transfer market, other teams started a military competition and recruited players everywhere to overthrow the Lakers' dominance.

For example, the Knicks, who failed in the Eastern Conference finals six months ago, made a deal.

Traded Terry Cummings, Chris Mills and John Starks from the Warriors for former Lakers player Sprewell!

There was no other reason for the madman to be traded. What could the innocent Sprewell do? He just almost strangled his head coach to death on the spot.

Again, the "basic skills" of Lakers players are generally very solid.

The Knicks' move was mainly to alleviate the disadvantage of the team's unstable outside firepower. They really didn't want to see Kobe being unable to do anything when he was crazy on the outside.

This transaction, in Shea's opinion, is an excellent reinforcement.

In original history, the Knicks lost Ewing in the 1998-99 season. As a result, this team relied on their tenacious defense and the scoring of Sprewell and Alan Houston to make it all the way to the Finals!

The Madmen in the 1999 season were notorious for pinching the coach and were afraid of losing their jobs, so they played very seriously this season.

Now, the Knicks have replaced Alan Houston with the maturing Kobe Bryant, replaced the injured Ewing with the healthy O'Neal, plus the former Lakers player, Clifford, who has shown defensive strength after allowing zone defense.

De Robinson.

You can imagine how much power they can unleash!

As for the atmosphere in the locker room, there is no need to worry at all. Although Kobe was arrogant and fought back, Sprewell probably won't make much trouble in order to keep his job.

After completing the deal, the Knicks held a new press conference at a luxury hotel, announcing that Zen Master, who had been off for a year, would return and become the Knicks' head coach next season!

As we all know, Zen Master is a good person, and he will only take action when he smells the scent of a champion.

The Knicks’ competitiveness is self-evident!

In addition to the Knicks, the San Antonio Spurs are not idle either.

Facts have proven that the combination of the best number one pick in history + a smart back general is very competitive.

Last season, the Spurs made a comeback from the decadence and reached the second round.

The Spurs' interior defense is already invincible. The biggest problem is that they don't have outstanding outside players.

So the Spurs acquired the greatest third-string player in Chicago history and the strongest deputy in the history of Chicago in free agency—Scott Pippen!

In the original history, Pippen went to the Rockets to hug Olajuwon and the Flying Pigs.

But in this history, the Flying Pigs are no longer playing, and Olajuwon is alone in Houston.

So Pi San parachuted into San Antonio!

In the Spurs, Duncan is first, the general is second, and Pippen can play the third position he is most familiar with~

In addition to the Knicks and Spurs, the strength of other teams has also improved greatly.

Although the Sun side has lost the Flying Pig, the three younglings Grant Hill, Weber and Roaring Heavenly Lord have all risen and reached their peak.

In the original history, Webber, who was born in 1999, had already led the Kings to become a strong team in the Western Conference.

In the original history, Tianzun at this period was already regarded as the top player by the Trail Blazers, and under his leadership, the Portland Prison Team reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years.

Now, when these two insiders are combined, a peak Hill must be added.

It's so terrifying!

In this history, after the Sacramento Kings failed to trade Webber, they used Richmond, the "second shooting guard in the league" designated by Jordan at that time, and Shea's old sandbag Billy Owens from the Mavericks for that man worth mentioning.

Sen. Kidd!

In this history, although the Dallas 3Js also fell apart due to quarrels among their colleagues, Kidd was not traded away.

It wasn't until now that he finally left Dallas and was taken under the king's wing.

Although Kidd and Webb are completely different players in style, he is also very suitable for Adelman's Princeton system!

Not to mention, Philadelphia has grown AI and KG.

The people of Indianapolis are still eyeing the championship.

The Utah duo and Alan Houston are still strong.

Next season will be like a chaotic dance!

In the short one-month offseason transfer market, fans can see exciting news every day.

Only Lakers fans discovered that the team had almost no action other than regular contract renewals.

Using the Bird Rights, the Lakers successfully renewed Shai's contract with a maximum salary, and then renewed Sam Perkins' contract with a minimum salary.

The most important thing is that Michael Finley, who is quite popular in the free agent market, is retained.

Finley made great progress last season, averaging 18.8 points per game. He is the most capable assistant next to Shea.

So this summer, a large number of teams are pursuing Finley.

But fortunately, the Lakers had Finley's bird rights, so they were able to keep Finley and preserve their base.

Finley himself has no ambition to become the boss of another team. His character is like this, he doesn't fight or grab.

But apart from regular contract renewals, the Lakers have almost never introduced new players.

The only two new players were high school student Rashard Lewis, who was taken in the last round of the draft in the summer of 1998, and Cuttino Mobley, who was taken in the second round.

However, the late first-round picks and second-round picks do not seem to be of much help to the Lakers from the outside.

As for the person Shea recommended to Logo, unfortunately, Logo's transaction failed again.

All teams are deliberately wary of the Lakers and will not trade with the Lakers easily.

But Logo didn't give up and was determined to get him before the trade deadline!

Oh, by the way, the Lakers have another signing.

Signed Terry Teague as Lakers Equipment Manager!

This wave of rehires has allowed Terry Teague to return to his favorite position - helping Shay carry shoes and water!
