The Los Angeles Lakers finally made it to the playoffs this season, the first time since the Sharks traveled east.

The hardships Kobe Bryant has put in for this can be seen with the naked eye. In the past 2005-2006 regular season, the whole world was shocked by his personal ability. In February and March, he scored four goals in almost every game.

More than ten points, and in the match against the Raptors, the current single-game scoring record was refreshed to 81 points.

This shows how strong he is. Of course, on the other hand, it also proves how...weak his teammates are.

Therefore, Kobe Bryant is clamoring for signings almost every summer, and he is bringing in star-level point guards.

The whole world knows that he has been flirting with Jason Kidd for a long time, but... the price offered by the New Jersey Nets is unacceptable to the Lakers: Are you crazy to actually want their big baby, Andrew Bynum, who will take over the banner of the Lakers' great center in the future?

?

However, Kobe Bryant had to obey his will.

Therefore, general manager Kupchak assured him that he would have a satisfactory point guard selected in the draft this summer.

Then, Black Mamba appointed Bruce Lee.

This made Kupchak quite depressed.

Regarding Bruce Lee, the biggest dark horse in college basketball this year, the Lakers senior management is obviously divided into two groups. Kupchak, who once made a special trip to Stanford to inspect Li Zhen and also observed the training of the Crimson team, was very disapproving of Li Zhen.

Jenny Buss, who once attended the game and witnessed Li Zhen leading his team to beat UCLA, yearned for Bruce.

The current high-level politics of the Lakers club is...Old Buss is the emperor who sits in the military tent. Then, his youngest son Jim Buss and general manager Kupchak are on the same side. His daughter Jenny Buss and head coach Phil Jackson

It's a faction.

Although the whole world knows that Jenny Buss's personal ability is stronger than Jim Buss, deep down in his heart, Bass Sr. is still slightly partial to his son.

On the one hand, he needs Zen Master to lead the team, but on the other hand, he is worried that Zen Master, an ambitious man, will have too strong control over the team. Phil Jackson has hoped to obtain equity in the club more than once, and he is now... using crutches to climb up

Jenny Buss' bed... makes people have to guard against it.

Therefore, the two factions are always at loggerheads.

And when... Bruce showed up at the Lakers training facility, all four executives from the two groups were present.

Kobe Bryant also put down the barbell plates in his hands and came to the scene in person.

The specifications cannot be overstated.

The content of the trial training was actually very simple. It was just some simple dribbling speed tests and shooting tests... Frankly speaking, Li Zhen's performance was mediocre.

His advantage does not lie in changing directions and dribbling in front of several chairs, nor does it lie in various open shots and pull-up jump shots.

He is a competition-oriented player, and he needs to be able to maximize his strength in real game scenarios.

"I don't know why I'm wasting my time here. I know he has a brilliant resume in the NCAA, but there are dozens of players who perform well in the NCAA every year, but how many of them are famous in the NBA?

These are basically two different concepts of competition environment."

Jim Bass took Li Zhen's static data and complained loudly: "Also, that guy Bill Duffy actually refused to allow his players to do dynamic data testing. Is he crazy? Who does he think this guy is? He has been drafted by many teams.

The promised super genius?”

"Stop talking so much, Jim. Adults should be quieter."

Jenny Buss looked at the second-generation brother with some mockery. She actually liked the static data Bruce Lee had just completed: "Look at the barefoot height of 188 and the wingspan of 201. This shows that his defensive coverage area is far away."

He is far bigger than an ordinary point guard, and coupled with his coveted big hands, his defense is definitely not much worse. And, the most important thing is this... His weight has reached 76 kilograms. This is higher than his

The data 43 days ago increased by 5 kilograms. Can you understand the significance of this matter?"

"I don't understand! I just know that his frame doesn't seem to be able to hold muscles. He has no way of becoming a qualified NBA player. Moreover, I don't think his ability is that outstanding, from the center of gravity and range of dribbling.

From the looks of it, his agility and coordination are just average. And...don't you think his shooting percentage is a bit low? Even the worst guard on the Lakers bench can't do it on the training ground.

Hit 56-for-100."

Jim Buss finally couldn't stand it anymore: "It's time to end this ridiculous game. We still have to work for the next playoffs... This is the most important thing. Instead of spending time on this so-called NCAA dark horse with mediocre talent.

"

With that said, he stood up and left.

Also leaving was Kupchak.

After they left, Phil Jackson also raised his eyebrows.

To be honest, he also thought that Li Zhen in today's trial was not good enough.

He felt...Jenny Buss might have made a mistake. And..."Bryant, I can understand the need for a good helper. But now, the biggest problem before us is how to deal with the Phoenix Suns, who are third in the Western Conference. The Suns are strong this year.

Very strong, Stephen Nash led a group of elite soldiers to start a rapid whirlwind..."

Phil Jackson hasn't finished speaking yet.

"Wait a moment."

Bryant interrupted suddenly and walked out of the office.

He took the initiative to walk towards Bruce Lee.

Li Zhenzhen and his agent Bill Duffy were discussing the latest static physical measurement data: "I actually grew 2 centimeters taller and gained a lot of weight."

To be honest, Bill Duffy also has a headache now.

Judging from several items in the trial training, Bruce's performance was very mediocre, which can even be described as poor. Therefore, he was shrewd and rejected the Lakers' request for a dynamic physical test, because he knew that the dynamic data would be even worse when it came out.

But... hiding it like this is not an option.

There needs to be a way to bring out Bruce's advantages. However, a smart brain, perfect tactical control, and a master of fast rhythm... these things cannot be seen in ordinary trials.

In the future...are we going to refuse individual trials for all teams and go to training camps for joint trials?

But in the joint training camp, big-name players will not play. Only those players who have not received draft commitments will perform hard.

This will further weaken Bruce's draft stock.

Bill Duffy felt quite big-headed, and he had a feeling that he had no power to use.

At this moment, Kobe Bryant came over and proposed an incredible trial plan that Bill Duffy had never heard of.
Chapter completed!
