My Name is Kobe Bryant - chapter 893
“Congratulations to the Cleveland Cavaliers, winning the 2003 No. 1 pick!” Stern smiled, and Cavaliers owner Gilbert also smiled and held a cold envelope.
You got it!
Son of the Chosen!
The glory of Cleveland!
The nation’s first high school student!
Draft template Magic Johnson + Dr. J Irving!
The strongest rookie after Kobe!
It’s mine!
From today!
Cleveland is no longer the poor country that everyone looks down on.
We will create a dynasty!
A legendary era!
…
“Dad, we need to elect a new general manager and head coach as soon as possible.” Jimmy Buss looked excited.
“The draft and the new season trade, we need to prepare in advance!”
“In this year’s playoffs, the team closest to the Spurs is the Lakers, not the Celtics! We are only one step away from the championship!”
at last!
He finally survived until the two old guys retired.
Finally, he didn’t have much energy to control the team until the old Buss.
With the current Lakers, no one can stop him from controlling this team.
Jimmy Buss is no longer young, he is more than 40 years old.
Under West, he has been a scout and an assistant. He has been through it for too long, he can’t wait to take over this team!
“Hey, Jimmy. We need to find the right person instead of rushing around.” Jeanne Buss snorted softly.
Can she not know what Jimmy thinks?
For her younger brother, Jenny has always been blind to her.
If the Lakers are finally handed over to this prodigal dude, I am afraid it will be worse in the future.
But the old Buss’ willingness is still more willing to pass his team to his son, which also makes Jeanie Buss very dissatisfied.
“Jenny! You should find a boyfriend! Instead of worrying about the team!” Jimmy Buss yelled to his sister.
“Jimmy! How dare you talk to your sister like this!” Jeanne Buss crossed her brows and said coldly.
Old Buss raised his hands and rubbed his temples.
He knows the fights between his children.
When the two great gods West and Harris left, this contradiction reached its peak.
“Old man, you really left me with a complicated problem.” Old Buss is used to discussing with West Harris when there is a problem, but now, he has no one to discuss with him anymore.
The team will eventually be passed on to his son in the future. Buss squinted his eyes.
“Jimmy, do you have a suitable candidate?”
“Yes! Daddy! I recommend a general manager-Jerry Kraus!”
Once the general manager of the Bulls, Claus?
Old Buss didn’t know when his son became involved with this extremely clever Jew.
The Bulls have been in a slump since Jordan left, and Klaus was also taken out of the team as a scapegoat.
I have to say that Claus is capable. But the problems between him and the players made Old Buss hesitate.
“Daddy, West’s assistant Mr. Kupchak is more suitable for our team!” Jenny Buss argued for reason.
Kupchak was a member of SHOWTIME as a player and has won many championships with the Magician.
After retiring in 1986, he became Jerry West’s assistant to the general manager.
Over the years, he has also been running for the Lakers. He knows the Lakers better, and at the same time he is more familiar with the members of the Lakers.
Old Buss was originally prepared to follow his son’s idea, but it was obvious that Kupchak’s option was more appropriate.
“You go down first, let me think about it.”
Old Buss waited for his children to leave, sat quietly for a while, and then dialed West and Kobe…
…
Kobe also had a headache when he received a call from Old Buss.
honestly.
Kupchak, this guy, can only pile up big-name players, and doesn’t consider the lineup combination at all.
If he then trades Lakers’ role players for a few old All-Stars, then Kobe will have a headache.
Klaus is even more impossible.
That Jew is too powerful! He and Jimmy Buss will make the Lakers miserable, and this team will be impure.
An impure team has no way to create miracles and defeat the strong with the weak.
The current paper lineup of the Lakers cannot withstand the toss of Claus.
“So what’s your opinion?” Hearing Kobe’s opinion, Old Buss had a headache.
“BOSS, MAGIC has been doing nothing lately… it’s better…”
Old Buss’ eyes suddenly lit up.
“Then you have to help me persuade MAGIC.”
“I will.”
The Lakers don’t need a general manager who is capable and well-connected.
What Kobe wants is a general manager who loves basketball, has no desire for power, and can concentrate on cooperating with him.
The magician may not be a professional general manager. He likes to have fun. He often runs late and skips work.
But for Kobe, he is the most suitable candidate.
…
On June 18, 2003, Magic Johnson joined the Lakers as general manager.
An uproar!
The Lakers fans are boiling!
Their former leader, the magician is back to the Lakers!
Although the last time the magician worked as a coach for the Lakers, the experience was not good.
But everyone believes that the magician and Kobe can make greater achievements!
“Kobe! We can work together!” The magician was very excited!
It happened that he was a little tired of Mamba Sports’ business affairs.
Magician is such a person, he always pursues freshness, nothing can keep him in one place for a long time.
Back to the Lakers!
He is full of desire for the championship again!
Of course, Bass also took a step back and invited Kupchak and Klaus to act as assistants to the general manager.
Kupchak chose to accept.
Klaus refused.
“MAGIC, welcome back!” Kobe also let out a sigh of relief.
Well, if Old Buss allows Kupchak and Klaus to serve as general managers, it will not be easy for the Lakers to stand up in the next few years.
Maybe this team that already has a dynasty prototype will be destroyed.
Both Magician and Kobe are extremely pure basketball players.
Like West Harris, they will not participate in the team’s political struggle.
What they want is simple, champion!
“Now, let’s discuss the candidate for the head coach.” The magician was very excited, “Why don’t I come directly?”
In Magic’s fantasy, he assumed the general manager and head coach on his own, and then led the Lakers to shape the dynasty again.
Meidi is very! Meidi is very!
“NO.” Kobe instantly rejected the magician’s decision.
“Well, let’s make some invitations first.” Looking at Kobe’s serious color, the magician shrugged.
The Lakers’ head coach seat, I am afraid it will cause the peeping of the world’s top coaches!
That’s an opportunity to teach Kobe Bryant, the strongest player in history!
That is an opportunity to create a dynasty again!
That’s an opportunity to coach the super giants second only to the Celtics in history!
The magician believes that once coaches are recruited publicly, many legendary coaches in the league will be unable to sit still!
…
“Should I go to reply to the magician’s invitation?” Charlotte Hornets, Phil Jackson struggled abnormally.
His four-year contract with the Hornets expired this year.
Michael Jordan has offered him a contract extension, but to be honest, Zen Master does not want to stay in this team too much.
After all, Charlotte, North Carolina is really not a good city in the United States.
Whether it is wealth or living environment here, it is far different from those of the big cities in the United States.
And from the perspective of basketball, after Jordan retired, the Hornets, although they still have the league’s strongest small forward Grant Hill, have gradually left the first echelon to win the championship.
The aging of the team is serious, and the next record may only be worse than one year.
What Phil Jackson wants is a championship, the honor of being the strongest coach in history.
Charlotte had no way to give it to him.
This summer, the Knicks, Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, and Grizzlies all offered him invitations.
The Lakers and Grizzlies are undoubtedly the most likely to win the championship. These two teams, in the eyes of Zen Master, are the top giants who can compete for the championship with only one step.
The only thing the team lacks is a goal.
But the Zen master felt a little awkward when he thought of teaching the Los Angeles Lakers who had fought against him for many years.
But he really wants to coach Kobe and lives in the comfortable city of Los Angeles. This made the Zen master very entangled.
Another point is that the Lakers’ head coach role is obviously competitive.
If in the past, the Lakers didn’t care about themselves, it would undoubtedly be a shame for the Zen Master.
“Forget it, go to the Grizzlies.”
Under comprehensive consideration, the Zen master gave up the opportunity to coach the Los Angeles Lakers and went to Vancouver to coach the glory of Canada-half man and half god.
…
The Lakers’ head coach selection has attracted the attention of many first-line coaches and NCAA coaches in the league.
But Kobe and the magician have yet to find a suitable candidate.
“Is Larry Brown really bad?” The magician asked Kobe that this season, the Pistons record was second to last in the league, and Larry Brown was swept out.
“Pure defense is meaningless.”
“Then give him D’Antoni as an assistant coach.”
“No, I can’t accept the team’s coach for self-use.”
“Your kid just wants to control this team!”
“It’s okay for you to say that.”
Kobe suddenly found a candidate.
Rick Claire!
In this life, Claire, from 1994, Carlisle joined the Trail Blazers assistant team, became Kalesimo’s right-hand man, and worked for 7 seasons.
Claire joined the Nets in 2000, and this year brought the Nets with a poor lineup to the playoffs.
“This young man has no good resume at all. Is he good at offense or defense?”
“Get him D’Antoni and Thibodeau.”
“??” The magician slammed his forehead. He thought he could be a coach like this.
Isn’t this the mascot?
“No, Old Buss would not agree that the star-studded Lakers were led by such a young man.”
Kobe thought for a while, it was true.
The coaches of the Lakers are either the legends of their own team, or the coaches who have been famous for a long time.
Let a young man be elected as a coach, even if the old Bass believes that he and the magician will not agree.
“The most suitable NBA coaches are George Karl and Larry Brown. The guy Phil rejected our offer.”
“In addition to the NBA, maybe we can also consider the famous coach of the NCAA.”
“K coach Krzyzewski also rejected our offer.”
“Then there are few other people useful.”
The magician and Kobe looked at each other helplessly.
It seems that the role of the Lakers head coach is really difficult to find a suitable replacement.
It is necessary not only to satisfy the discourse power of the team not to be excessive, but also to have a sufficient resume.
These two points seem to be self-contradictory.
“Otherwise, let D’Antoni be the head coach, and get him some good assistant coaches.”
“That can only be so.”
In the end after discussion with Kobe, Magic announced that the team’s assistant coach McD’Antoni was appointed as the team’s head coach.
And Byron Scott, Tom Thibodeau, Brian Shaw, Dwayne Casey, Patrick Ewing became the team’s assistant coaching team.
Kobe is very satisfied with this coaching team.
D’Antoni doesn’t say anything, he won the best coach twice in his previous life.
Byron Scott, Thibodeau, and Casey are all the best coaches.
Brian Shaw and Patrick Ewing, the two assistant coaches transferred from the players, can also ensure the communication between the coaching staff and the players.
…
“Well, now we need to discuss the draft guidelines for this year.” The magician quickly called the coaching team to attend the meeting.
The coaches were not surprised to see Kobe as the only player to attend the meeting.
What’s weird, they are all acquaintances, who doesn’t know how much Kobe has the right to speak in this team?
Especially the general manager became Magic Johnson, the major shareholder of Mamba Sports.
Everybody knows ~www.mtlnovel.com~ We have a first round No. 25 pick and a second round No. 5 pick. “Byron Scott said.
“I can’t choose a very good player in this position. Is it necessary to trade up? Or some immediate combat power will be exchanged.” Dwyane Casey was originally an assistant coach of the Sonics, but was poached by Magic and Kobe. .
“Who said that on the 25th, you can’t choose too good players?” Kobe smiled slightly.
…
On June 25, 2003, in Madisarden, New York, countless young people in suits and leather shoes sat on the sidelines nervously.
At this time of year, many people’s lives will change from this moment.
The draft, this is a turning point in life!
The pride of heaven will become the new owner of a team.
Many talented players who used to be in college will also be stunned.
This is the NBA!
Here is the gathering of the most basketball players in the world!
Maybe you are omnipotent in your league.
But every player here is like that!
“LeBron, you look great.” James’ mother tidied his tie.
“LeBron, are you ready? Your legendary career will begin at this moment.” Pelinka smiled.
The 19-year-old James has a mature and calm face that his peers don’t have.
He has already got the promise of the top pick from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He has signed a 10-year contract with Mamba Sports for the largest rookie sneaker in history, worth 120 million yuan.
This contract shocked the world.
At this time, he should be as smug as a young man.
But James was not overwhelmed.
He knows what he has gained now and what it depends on.
At the same time, he knew exactly what he wanted.
