Chapter 230 The Lakers' Worst Night(2/2)
"The Christmas game. Our schedule is the first time we meet in the Christmas game. At that time, our players' condition has improved. It is a good day to defeat them in one fell swoop."
Magic Johnson gradually convinced Jeanie Buss.
The problem that Magic mentioned exists objectively. The enthusiasm and physical condition of both sides are not at the same level. Moreover, this is indeed just an insignificant preseason game. There is no need to fight them to the death. What if the Lakers get injured?
What matters is health.
The Lakers are an aging team, and health is the first guarantee for winning the championship.
"Then what do you think we should do in the second half? Replace Kobe and Paul in the second half and train!"
Magic Johnson said seriously.
"But...will the media ridicule us?" Jenny Buss said worriedly.
"It's just a preseason game. What's more, we didn't use Kobe and Paul in the second half. It's still up in the air, which is the best." Magic Johnson said.
This is the best solution for the Lakers. Stop losses in time.
Jenny Buss thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement. Then, she asked the magician to go to the dressing room to announce the decision, and she was going home early.
She needs a little red wine to fall asleep.
After Phil Jackson broke up with her and left for the Big Apple, she is now single.
Magic Johnson looked at Jenny Buss's walking back, and he sighed, he had known this, why did he do it in the first place?
What the magician just said is half of what he said.
If the Lakers replace Kobe and Paul in the second half, the Lakers' reputation will indeed not be damaged, but for Jeanie Buss, her reputation will definitely be strongly questioned.
From the moment Fanshee stabbed the Lakers basket with his right hand in the opening game, Jeanie Buss had been hung up and the rope was lowered from the pillar of shame.
Jeanie Buss can only use the championship trophy to solve the problem.
This is retribution for her playing tricks of power to eliminate dissidents.
…
"I have a way to deal with the Lakers."
Fanci was sitting in the locker room, and he came up with a strategy to divide the Lakers.
He plans to partner with Leonard in the backcourt, replacing Dunleavy at the small forward position. On the defensive end, Leonard will be the main guard against Kobe, while he will use the big force to suppress the small one to kill Paul.
This combination of punches is enough to make Kobe Paul, who is not very cooperative now, go into separate battles. Fan Xi analyzed why the Lakers had a winning streak before, because other teams did not give them the top defensive power.
And the Clippers can bring out this defensive strength.
Even in the paint, Fanci is ready to pair Kwame Brown and DeAndre Jordan.
If Butler hadn't felt cold tonight.
The pure steely defensive talent lineup composed of Fanci, Butler, Leonard, Kwame Brown, and DeAndre Jordan is enough to collapse many teams.
Fanshie was full of confidence in this experimental lineup, but just when they stepped onto the court to prepare for a big fight.
Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul both disappeared.
Kobe didn't even enter the court. He had a big argument with Magic Johnson in the locker room. He believed that he should not give in at this time. He gave in today. If the Christmas game encounters the same situation, should he take another step back? Ji.
What about the playoffs?
Kobe couldn't tell the story of "cutting five cities today and ten cities tomorrow", but he was just tough and wanted to fight Fan Xi to the end.
However, public support is not available.
Magic Johnson told him that this was a stopgap measure, and that the Lakers would return to their peak strength by the Christmas game.
His teammates persuaded him that only by enduring his anger for a while can he be safe forever. Everyone is really in bad shape now. If you fight with them, what if you get injured?
D'Antoni also thinks this is just a preseason game...
Kobe was not convinced in the end. He said that he would not surrender, so he would sit in the locker room and not go anywhere.
Kobe was very angry.
Chris Paul didn't say anything. He returned to the court with his teammates and then sat on the bench.
Fanshie is a smart man, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw the Lakers' bench, with Kobe Bryant and Jeanie Buss missing from the bench.
As well as the friendly looks cast by D'Antoni and Magic Johnson, he immediately understood that the Lakers were surrendering.
But.
Fan Xi turned her head.
Why should I accept your surrender?
Why should I be 'at peace' with you?
From the moment Jeannie Buss traded Fancy, Fancy and the Lakers have been in a state of never-ending struggle.
He never believed in the idea of "leave a thin line today so that we can meet each other easily in the future".
"The massacre has begun."
Fan Xi's eyes became colder and his willpower became stronger.
Repaying evil with kindness? That is what God does. My purpose is to send you to see God.
The magician never dreamed that Fan Xi was a real god of death.
Tonight is destined to be one of the most painful nights in Lakers history...
