Bishop of the Devil

Before ten o'clock in the morning, Kobe called Odom again and arranged to meet at the training ground.

When it was 10:30, both Kobe and Ben arrived. What they didn't expect was that Odom came with Pau Gasol.

"Lamar, what's going on?" Ben frowned and looked at Odom. He thought Odom had betrayed them, and now he brought Gasol to dissuade them.

"Ben, I'm here to cheer you on. Although this matter doesn't have much to do with me, Coach Richard has helped little Mark a lot. I hope I can also do my part." Paul added Thor said with a smile.

The Gasol family is very grateful to Richard. In their opinion, without Richard's support, Mark Jr. might have been eliminated by the league. After all, he was only a draft pick in this round, and he didn't have much respect when he first entered the league. ’s shining point.

Although Mark Jr. is still not a starter for the Pirates, no one will underestimate this Pirates' most important inside substitute.

Maybe after the contract between Mark Jr. and the Pirates ends, many teams will submit a considerable contract to Mark Jr., and it is not impossible to even give him a maximum salary contract.

Strong inside defense, superb pick-and-roll ability, superb inside organization skills, and even good three-point firepower. Which team wouldn't want such an inside player?

Jordan is actually having a headache now about Mark Jr.'s contract...

Naturally, he wanted to stay in the team and continue playing for such a super-quality inside player, but the contract aspect simply couldn't be resolved.

He is not Richard. Richard can give up any player on the team and then get a replacement at a very low price in the free market or the draft. Where can Jordan have this kind of situation? ability……

This is why when Richard leaves a team, it doesn't take long for the team to begin to fall apart.

Although the Pistons have always been relatively strong, they actually have no chance of competing for the championship now.

…

In any case, it is now a foregone conclusion that Gasol will leave the Pirates to get the maximum salary. The Gasol family is very grateful to Richard for supporting Marc.

Of course, in fact, even without Richard, Gasol will definitely be able to rise, but the Gasol family will definitely not know about this...

Richard is his brother's benefactor, and Gasol has a very good relationship with his brother. Under such circumstances, he naturally wants to get involved, and at least he can thank Richard for his brother.

Hearing Gasol's words, Ben's face showed joy.

"Okay, then this time the four of us will make Jim Bass walk around without food."

Fifteen minutes later, all four people came to the office of Lakers head coach Jackson Jackson.

What shocked the Zen master to death was that all four of them submitted transaction applications!

What transaction request? That is naturally an application to ask the team to trade him...

This frightened the Zen master so much that he turned pale. Are you kidding me? These four people are almost the top four core players of the team. Now they are all asking the team to trade them. Then the Lakers will have a hard time next season...

Zen Master also learned about what happened last night from Jenny Bass. When he heard that Richard yelled at his girlfriend Jenny Buss to get out, he was also holding a ball of fire in his heart...

But now this fire obviously can't be unleashed, and the Lakers are going to be in chaos.

Although Zen Master also knows that these four people are unlikely to really leave the Lakers, but who can say for sure?

These four people have now expressed their attitudes. They are on Richard's side. If the Lakers do not handle this matter well, I am afraid it will really leave a grudge in the hearts of the four people. This is for the Lakers. Definitely not good news.

All the core players of the team are dissatisfied with the players, which is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

This sudden situation made the Zen master a little panicked. He didn't know what to do at all. He could only comfort the four people with words and told them not to get excited...

At the same time, he was also scolding Jim Bass in his heart. This incompetent idiot was so full that he caused so much trouble to the team.

…

The Zen master comforted the four of them for half an hour. His mouth was dry and he didn't notice any abnormality in the four of them.

After the four people left his office, he only heard reports from his staff. The four people summoned the media to prepare for a press conference.

This made the Zen master even more anxious...

…

"I'm afraid everyone knows what happened last night."

"Now I only have one feeling, and that is shame. I am a member of the Lakers. Jim Buss' behavior not only brings shame to the Buss family, but also brings shame to every one of our Lakers players."

"I don't want to play under such a person, so I have just submitted a trade request to the Lakers."

As the leader of the Lakers, Kobe was naturally the first to speak at the press conference.

His words at this moment immediately silenced the entire venue...

Kobe Bryant submitted a trade request to the team? ! This is definitely shocking news that can detonate the alliance.

He has played for the Lakers for more than ten years. After O'Neal left, he has been the absolute leader of the team. You can imagine how popular he is among the Los Angeles fans.

In today's league, in terms of popularity, there is no doubt that Kobe is the most popular.

Kobe, the most popular person now, is going to run away? Just because of the Jim Bass thing...

The reporters no longer knew what to say. They only knew that the Bass family was going to be in pain this time.

As soon as Kobe finished speaking, Ben also spoke slowly.

"When I chose to join the Lakers, it was because of Kobe. Of course, the most important reason was that coach Richard didn't stop me from coming to Los Angeles."

"If Coach Richard had stopped me from coming to Los Angeles, I don't think I would have come to Los Angeles."

"Now I deeply regret my decision. Here, I advise all West Lafayette players to stay away from the Lakers if they really want to transfer in the future. This is definitely not a team worth playing for."

"This year is my contract year. I originally thought about signing a minimum salary next year and playing with Kobe for two more years. Now it seems that this is impossible."

"By the way, I also submitted a transaction application." Ben said to the reporters with an ugly face.

"Ahem, although I have never played for Coach Richard, the imprint of Coach Richard is deeply engraved in our bones, so if this kind of thing happens, I can't pretend that I don't know about it anyway."

"So, I also submitted a trade application to the team..." Odom said with a smile. Everything this guy does is a bit irregular.

The reporters at the scene were already confused. Three core players submitted trade applications? The Lakers are going to be completely destroyed...

Although the Lakers will definitely reject these trade applications, what if these people fail to work? What about the Lakers?

For a while, many reporters looked at Pau Gasol, who was sitting next to Odom. Could it be that he also submitted a trade application to the team?

Seeing many reporters looking at him, Pau Gasol said with some embarrassment: "Yes, you are right. I did submit a trade application like them."

"As for why, well, actually I don't know why, maybe it's because of Mark."

Many reporters' heads are already buzzing. The Lakers are about to be finished...

All the core players of the team are leaving, and the reason is just a conflict between Jim Bass and Richard?

And the key is that it was actually Jim Bass who suffered the loss this time...

By the time this press conference ended, the reporters had not recovered from their shock.

Even more shocked than them was the Lakers' management.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"Bang!" Jim Buss was detained in his luxury apartment by Buss. After learning that the four core players of the Lakers applied to leave the team, he went crazy with anger and smashed the things around him to pieces. .

He couldn't figure out why this extremely difficult situation had arisen.

After listening to the Zen Master's report, Old Bass also let out a long sigh.

Things have already developed towards the worst situation he imagined.

And the biggest problem now is that Richard hasn’t taken action yet...

Without Richard taking action, the situation has reached a point where it is difficult for the Lakers to solve it. If Richard takes action, the Lakers will probably face even greater difficulties.

Old Bass felt that Richard might take action. Before the end of the day, they would be able to see Richard's attitude.
