The Rest, Only Noise

Eight days later, the Lakers' training camp at the Palm Springs resort ended as scheduled.

Louie gave the players a day off, then led the team back to Los Angeles.

Before the preseason came, Kobe was in a little situation.

Because he was too excited, the training volume increased so much that he twisted his foot.

The team doctors and doctors unanimously determined that he needed two weeks off to fully recover, but Bryant believed that one week was enough and he wanted to play in the preseason.

"You are no longer in Lower Merion. No one should be responsible for your mistakes. Take responsibility for yourself. I will not let you play in the preseason." Louis's smile was heart-warming, "I hope you will make persistent efforts and put The other foot was also injured during practice, so that the price did not even have to play in the regular season.

Kobe walked out of Louie's office angrily.

The Lakers will play four preseason games with the Knicks, Kings, Warriors, Pacers and Cavaliers.

A few days later, the Lakers headed to neutral ground Washington for their first preseason game against the Knicks.

Although it was only a preseason, neither side was careless.

The Knicks are serious, and so are the Lakers.

Judging from the game, the internal chemistry of the Knicks was a mess, and there was absolutely no way to see the defending champion.

It's no wonder that Dolan Jr.'s anti-sky operation brought the Knicks a luxury tax of $300 million, which is unbearable.

The above wants him to cut taxes, but how?

Little Dolan did not consult with the experienced Buford, but patted his head and came up with an extremely clever idea-he contacted the players, and let them know the team Faced with difficulties, I hope to re-negotiate.

As for the players, the attitude of "you want to cut taxes, it's none of my business" directly angered Little Dolan, clamoring to trade all those who don't cooperate.

But you want to cut taxes after all, right? What is the use of trading those people because now the salary caps of each team have no surplus, and it is impossible to eat a big contract, so they have to be traded at an equivalent value.

If it's an equivalent deal, the Knicks' pressing tax cut issue has yet to be resolved.

It is for these reasons, leading to internal turmoil in the Knicks.

The upheaval came from the stupidity of management, and its subsequent reaction went beyond what Louis experienced during the 1992-93 season.

Louie really doesn't understand, why didn't Little Dolan let Baylor negotiate?

Baylor's ability in drafting and trading is average, but he is an expert in bargaining.

If you let him come, not to mention signing a cabbage price for those players, it is not a problem that the contract per capita except Miller will shrink by 1/3.

Baylor was able to press the contract to a price below the player's level, while Dolan Jr. offered a premium contract that exceeded the player's value. This is the gap.

Due to contract disputes, Sam Cassell, Alan Houston, Scottie Pippen and others did not play in the preseason with the Lakers.

Even when these guys weren't there, the Knicks were still playing in a frenzy.

Ewing looked absent-minded, and a dunk that was guaranteed to fly was dunked.

"Patrick, haven't you eaten? You can't get through this?"

Ironing Louie is a passive skill on Louie that triggers whenever he sees something.

Instead of quibbling, Ewing said something unexpected from Louis: "After you left, I learned how important a smart management is to the team."

It seems that he was also tossed by little Dolan.

It's no wonder that Ewing's position is definitely the most embarrassing.

First of all, he has the highest salary in the league. If he rebels with the players, he will be criticized by public opinion.

No matter how unkindness the management treats those people, Ewing has done its utmost to be benevolent.

If Ewing was on the management side, the team wouldn't be able to take it.

You have an annual salary of 20 million, but you are not willing to share the cake with your brothers. Is there such a boss?

So the only thing Ewing can do in this matter is to be the ostrich and pretend nothing happened, but there is always an undercurrent inside the Knicks, and in the end, no one can avoid it.

The out-of-form Knicks lost to the Lakers by 14 points for the new game (this chapter is not over!)

Chapter 1240 The missing 5%

Season got off to a bad start.

"Lu, if it were you, how would you save this situation?"

Tomjanovich knew that the Knicks were in their biggest crisis.

If it is not handled well, let alone the title race, the team will soon fall apart.

How can this matter be resolved?

Seeing those people's contracts, and the fact that no team has the space to swallow them right now, Louie feels like the Knicks are in a dead end.

"If it were me, I wouldn't let that idiot James Dolan negotiate the contract," Louie asked. "How did Elgin and his family do it? Let a layman do their job?"

Tomjanovich said with a wry smile: "Mr. Dolan insists on doing this, and they can't help it."

Baylor is the vice president of the Knicks and is actually the first person in management. Buford is the general manager and can be regarded as the core of Baylor's think tank. He usually makes decisions and Baylor operates.

Now these two people can't affect a little Dolan who is in a fake position at MSG?

Good thing you left early...

Louis sighed with emotion, for Rudy, he could only pat him on the back, indicating "it will get better".

But will it really get better?

No one can give that guarantee, because it's going to be hard for the Knicks to turn around anytime soon.

After that, the Lakers returned to California for the second preseason game with the Kings.

The Kings, which have been rotten for many years, slowly have a lineup that looks okay.

They have Kendall Gill as the core, with good players such as BJ Armstrong, Danny Ferry, Doug West, Ramon Murray, Billy Owens, Sharif Abdul-Rahim, etc. , ready to sprint to the playoffs.

The problem is, Jill is too weak as a core strength.

He and the other players on the team did not widen the gap.

If Louie is their director, he will sell all these people into draft picks, and then he will do everything to fight for next year's No. 1 pick-although it has been decided by the Lakers, but they don't know, people still have dreams.

Kevin Garnett has played well in a low-contest preseason.

The day before yesterday, he had 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists against the Knicks. Tonight, he showed his all-round performance against the Kings.

A weak white insider like Danny Ferry couldn't stop him at all.

Garnett played 29 minutes and scored 32 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal, with no mistakes.

"Will Kevin Garnett be the next Ralph Sampson?"

The Los Angeles Times posed such a question and asked readers to vote.

Tens of thousands of readers voted up.

It's not a nice thing to be the second so-and-so, but the second Sampson? Damn, that's the one and only gentleman!

Since the '80s, only David Robinson and Danny Manning have been called the next Sampson.

However, after they entered professional basketball, Robinson did not transform into the one and only Mr. II at all, and Manning went out of his own way. Although they have similar attributes to Sampson, they are not a class of players at all.

Let Garnett become the second Sampson? Louie has no such idea.

While Garnett has 95% of the hardware that meets this criteria, it's still a little short.

In the third preseason game, the Lakers and the Pacers fought a tough battle.

As far as the intensity of the game is concerned, it is not at all what the preseason should have.

Hank Gaithers played 29 minutes.

When he was traded to the Pacers by the Heat, he slumped for a while, then accepted reality and became Indiana's leading big brother.

In order to become the absolute core, Gaithers developed his own independent offensive skills. Facing Garnett tonight, his turnaround jumper was extremely accurate.

At critical moments, Garnett's growing habits and play style made him tend to fly kites on the outside, but when he missed again and again, he didn't dare to throw again.

This phenomenon, how to say,

Is Garnett a softie? Why can't he bear the pressure of the key ball?

This is unexplainable ~www.novelmt.com~ and difficult to fix. (This chapter is not over!)

Chapter 1240 The missing 5%

At the same time, this is also the reason why Garnett cannot be the second only gentleman.

Sampson can't wait to play every key ball himself, only with Bird and Thomas, he will fall back to the third line, this is because he trusts the bird and the assassin.

If the all-time Dream Team were pushed to the point where they needed to make a game-winning shot, Louie would assign the key ball to Sampson, not Jordan or Wilson.

The Lakers lost this preseason game.

Garnett scored 21 points but shot less than 40 percent from the field.

"Kevin Garnett's next Ralph? Ralph who shot less than 40 percent in a preseason? It's a joke." -- The Boston Globe.

Louie won't look down on Garnett for that.

His key **** are unreliable, that's all.

However, how many reliable key players in NBA history have been able to remain calm in the most exhausted, tense, and intense moments and play their own level calmly, which in itself is a monster-level mentality.

This is also an important factor that distinguishes those people from others. No matter how Miyu Hakuho's Internet celebrity face is adjusted, her demeanor and performance will never reach the level of Asami Ogawa. That's the reason.

After that, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers and ended with a 3-1 record.

In a few days, it will be the regular season opener, and the Lakers will challenge the Spurs on the road.
