To say that the Lakers may refresh the NBA’s historical playoff win rate record, except for fans of another team that may enter the finals, other fans do not have much opposition, but are looking forward to it.
It is always good to have a record.
The Celtics fans are not too upset. To say how much hope the two Eastern Conference teams can win the Lakers in a series… To be honest, since 2014, the top Western teams have played against the Eastern Conference. The advantages of top teams have grown.
It is true that the Cavaliers and the Knicks have the ability to compete with the top teams in the West, but they are only one.
However, there is one person who does not want the Lakers to complete this feat, so he vigorously cheered up his players, let them kill the Cavaliers and then kill the Lakers.
This person is Zen Master Phil Jackson.
Last year, Phil Jackson’s historical regular season winning record was refreshed by D’Antoni, and this year was refreshed by the Warriors again, and he was ranked as the third place. After a few years, there were not many people even second. Can remember, let alone the youngest?
It’s just that the Lakers’ consecutive sweeps stimulated James. After the strong victory of the Tianwang Mountain, the Cavaliers won the sixth away game against the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. They did not give the Knicks a chance to make a tie-break. For the first time this season, they played at McGrady. Sun Plaza Garden won the game and made the Knicks 102-95 away and advanced to the finals 4-2!
…
…
The Zen master was very upset and angry. The Knicks were eliminated and the Cavaliers entered the finals. He is the coach with the most championships in history, and he has a better view of basketball games than others.
The Cavaliers say they are fighting the Lakers, but if they really want to play a series, it is a question of whether they can win the next game without being swept.
Of course, if the Knicks make it to the Finals, they will basically be unable to sustain a situation. The Cavaliers can still compete with the Lakers in the starting lineup. The Knicks, with their old arms and legs, must be tortured to death. The past three years They didn’t even lose within ten minutes of a score. They were abused by the Lakers every time. Their strongest point was suppressed by the Lakers, and the other positions were completely blasted.
But knowing that Gui knows, you still have to be angry!
After Zen Master became president of the Knicks, he didn’t have much satisfaction.
As soon as he became president, the Knicks suddenly collapsed. If it hadn’t been for Anthony and others who were stimulated by Liu Ren’s **** massacre to regroup, the Knicks would have fallen directly into the abyss.
Later, he wanted to find his own disciple, talented coach Steve Kerr to the Knicks, but he was cut off by the Warriors. He could only use Fisher. Fisher could only say that he would not make a big mistake. The coach of Steve Colby is not at the same level as Steve Colby. Fisher and Byron Scott are at best a defensive coach.
Now the Zen master has clearly seen the scene of the Lakers winning the 16-0 playoff record. Moreover, according to this momentum, the Lakers are so strong, and then young players continue to improve, even if some are traded away, they will definitely be. There is better immediate combat power coming…
The Zen Master is a little panicked now, the Lakers are going for three consecutive championships!
Zen master feels that his coach’s position is not guaranteed!
The reason why Zen Master’s position in the coaching world is unshakable is largely because he is the only coach in modern basketball who has led a team to win three consecutive championships.
Other top coaches even Pat Riley and Rudy Tomjanovic have only won two consecutive championships, and Popovich has not even won.
Therefore, the Zen Master is regarded by many as the first coach in history, and it depends on him to lead the team to three consecutive championships.
But he has been criticized for winning the championship because of Jordan and Pippen, Kobe, O’Neal, so once other teams complete three consecutive championships, his position is estimated to be difficult to maintain.
“Reinforce! Must reinforce! We must snipe the Lakers to win the championship next year!” Zen master frantically checked the offseason free agents and restricted free agents.
Speaking of the Knicks’ salary space is also very good, in addition to Anthony next season’s contract of 24 million and Wade next season’s contract of 18 million, their salary space is very good.
The current salary of jr-Smith is 5 million and he has the right to renew his contract after introducing players. Shumpert will be 9 million next season, Lopez Jr will be 12 million next season, and Louis Williams will be 700 next season. Million, Stoudemire 3 million next season, Porzingis rookie contract, according to the latest estimated salary cap of about 100 million, they can also give a super maximum salary of 25 million starting salary and a maximum of 800 Million in the middle class!
But… the Zen master was a little desperate. He looked at the list of free agents prepared by the scouts for this summer and found that he could not look down on those who could be introduced, and those who could afford it were unlikely to leave the team.
Rondo… Very good point guard, assists king, but Zen Master doesn’t like this kind of point guard who keeps the ball in his hands. He prefers to hold the ball to shooting guards and small forwards.
James… Zen master doesn’t think he will have the courage to change teams again. He will probably only choose to renew his contract with the Cavaliers. At least he will not leave Cleveland until he wins a championship for the Cavaliers.
Chandler Parsons… The Zen master just threw it away. Before the off-season arrived, this guy yelled out of his contract and became a full free agent, asking for a maximum salary extension.
Kevin Durant… The Zen Master wants it, but are they willing to come? The Thunder is no worse than the Knicks. His relationship with Wade is also very bad. Previously, because Wade entered the best team in the 12-13 season, Harden did not Then there was a fight.
Kobe and Liu Ren may both jump out of the player option, but… they can’t leave the Lakers…
“…”
The Zen master surprisingly discovered that 2016 seems to be a year of skyrocketing salaries, but… it is really possible that there are basically no top players who have changed teams! On the contrary, it may become a year when the salaries of ordinary players soar!
It is basically impossible for top players to leave the team. The fourth-year players have the right to match the parent team. Then the salary cap will rise so much, the parent team is basically unlikely to be released. Anyway, the big contract has to be thrown out, why not give it What about the players trained by my family.
“Do you want to watch the Lakers’ three consecutive championships and can’t stop it?” The Zen master was heartbroken. He couldn’t see any team in the Eastern Conference that could beat the Lakers in the playoffs.
In fact, in the 17 years since the end of Jordan’s second dynasty of the Bulls, most of the championships have been won by the West. Only three teams in the East have won championships after 1998, the Celtics, the Pistons, and the Heat. And it adds up to five. The other 12 were taken by the Western Conference. The Eastern Conference has been completely crushed by the Western Conference since 1998.
Just when the Zen master said that he was desperate, the phone rang.
The Zen master took out his cell phone and saw the caller ID. He was in a bad mood and wanted to hang up immediately.
The caller was Gail Forman, the only general manager of the Bulls in 30 years.
The origin or hatred between Zen Master and Foreman is not small. Although Zen Master’s most brilliant coaching career was in the Bulls, the relationship between him and the Bulls’ management was not good at all, or even bad. Finally, Jordan retired, and Zen Master immediately He was swept out by the Bulls management, including Pippen who was also driven away by the Bulls.
However, Zen Master is now the president of a team, he resisted impatiently and connected the phone.
“Hello, Phil, it’s a shame that I didn’t see you kill James.”
Foreman’s disgusting voice rang in Zen Master’s ear, and Zen Master said without emotion: “Why, Gail, did you call to celebrate the Cavaliers’ victory?”
“Nonono, Phil, I really feel sorry! I would have helped you if I knew it.”
“Help me? How can you help me? Give me Rose and Noah?” The Zen master said grimly.
“Yeah! I just want to give you Rose and Noah. Now you are stronger. I hate the Cavaliers. I always hate them. Only you in the East can beat them.”
“…” The Zen master said he was hell.
“Well, to be honest,” I said frankly on the other end of the phone. “We are going to rebuild. Although Rose played well this year, there are some signs of recovery, but you know, you took the team to get two. After three consecutive championships, Chicago fans completely regarded us as a team like the Lakers and Celtics. Especially with Ross, if we didn’t play well, we would be scolded to death, but our strength is really not right now. The only way to do too many things is to trade them out.”
“You guys are going to start playing bad again?” The Zen master felt a little unhappy. Whether it was the Lakers or the Bulls, he was very upset. After all, he was the top team he had once. Although he didn’t want the two teams to win the championship, But I don’t want to see them too bad, this is the entanglement of human nature.
“Yes, you know when you become the management. The two best high school students in the United States, Fultz and Bauer, are going to ncaa. If we can get one of them, maybe we can rise again.”
To be honest, this is simply a drop in the sky for the Zen master.
This year Rose has actually played well. Although the superstars are not considered superstars and the stars are barely, but they still have the starting ability above the standard. He played 67 games and averaged 16 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and for the first time in five years. A knee injury was reimbursed for the season. The last ten games were not played because of a broken finger. The Bulls had no playoff hopes, so they did not play.
Noah, although the decline is serious, but his power is still there. He averaged 8 rebounds and 4 assists in 20 minutes of playing time. Although he scored very strangely, his shooting percentage was only 38%, and his average score was only There are 3.6 points, but it’s still enough. Maybe you can live with another team?
Noah is only 30 years old, and the professional life span of such a floor-flowing center is already very long.
It’s just that Noah’s 5-year 90 million contract has 4 years left…
The Zen master really only wants Rose, but Foreman will definitely not give it. Rose’s performance this year gives him a good deal value. First, Rose finally has no reimbursement for the season, and secondly, Rose’s contract expires next season. The expiring contract of more than 20 million is already very valuable for trading, and it is very suitable for those teams who want to clear up the space to catch the big fish in the 2017 season.
In the opinion of the Zen Master, Foreman wanted to get rid of Noah’s remaining contract, Noah’s contract has four years and 74 million.
The Zen master thought about it and said: “I want your draft picks this year! And you have to help us get Lopez’s contract, otherwise we don’t have that much space.”
“Phil, you are too dark!”
“Gail, you two are **** contracts, do you want Bethsett to give it to me?”
“No, no, no, Phil, Rose is not a player no one wants. Many teams already want him. After all, his salary next season is only 21 million, and it’s a contract year. Many teams already want him. Got him.”
“But no one is planning to take over Noah together, you guys have fallen apart, so you found me?”
“Oh, Phil, I rejected them. I want to help you stop the Cavaliers…”
Businessmen’s dialogue began. Isn’t this kind of thing just sitting on the floor and starting prices? Although this year’s lottery picks are useless, it’s cheaper than digging for a role player~www.mtlnovel.com~ and not for a while. Will take up salary space.
The owner of the Knicks has money. The Knicks team makes money anyway, but sometimes there is no room to spend money.
With Porzingis as the starting center and Noah as the backup center, Lopez Jr. is dispensable. Although the Zen master can get the space to directly eat Rose and Noah, it can make a little space. It’s a little bit, and Lopez Jr. will be 12 million next season, and the remaining 3 years add up to 40 million. This is really a bit too expensive for a third center, and not all teams like to make a bunch of losers like the Lakers. Tens of millions of substitutes lay inside.
Although the little Lopez is also very useful, if you change from little Lopez to Noah, it is equivalent to changing the shotgun for the cannon! The Zen master had no reason to refuse.
Since the Bulls want to get rid of these two men, the Zen Master can naturally earn a little more.
After some intense discussions, the two teams finally reached an agreement. The Bulls sent out the 11th pick in the first round of this year, and the second round in 2017, Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Etowan Moore, Nick Ross sent Robin Lopez, Jose Calderon, and this year’s first round number 25, which will be handed over to the league before the draft after the finals!
