Four Hundred and Six: [This Is a Melee! 】
The internal relationship of the Lakers is undoubtedly somewhat complicated.
More recently... the aging Jerry Buss tried to hand over his 90 percent stake in the Lakers to his second son, Jim Buss, which sparked a heated dispute.
Jenny Buss, the general manager of the commercial department and the daughter of Jeri Buss, who is known as being far more capable than Vice President Jim Buss, is very dissatisfied with this. So, she tried to do something with Phil Jackson.
Phil Jackson undoubtedly played a vital role in it.
As early as the OK combination era, he had made efforts in this area. He has been trying to become the core manager of a certain team and own shares. At that time, he teamed up with Shaquille O'Neal and West, the godfather of the Lakers, to try to force Jerry Buss to trade Kobe Bryant, and establish a style of play with O'Neal as the core.
But the final result is that the godfather West, who is called by the league as "I never knew about West, but I didn't know about the Lakers Operations Office (FRONT OFFICE)", went away, and the sharks went east...Miami, Phil Jackson resigned and left Los Angeles.
Subsequently, Jim Buss took the position smoothly, and Kupchak became his right-hand man. He then manipulated the 2005 draft, when Jim Buss selected Andrew Bynum and turned down multiple trades, including a proposal to trade Bynum for Jason Kidd.
It sounds like Andrew Bynum should be Jim Buss' hardcore younger brother.
But in fact... the current situation is not, strictly speaking, Bynum is a person of Phil Jackson and Jenny Buss.
This is not surprising at all, everyone will have their own different stakes at different times.
Back then, the Godfather of the Lakers resisted the crowd and used All-Star center Divac to trade the No. 13 pick Kobe Bryant, but he supported the Sharks in the decision on whether the Sharks or the Black Mamba.
Of course, even now both parties are planning for their own interests. But... It didn't form the kind of indestructible situation. After all, in the end, everyone is eating from the same plate.
If you really wanted to fight to the death, you wouldn't pick this opportunity now. After all... the opponent is the Knicks.
While the Lakers were making "internal adjustments," the Knicks finally issued a statement.
"We can understand how some people feel...you know you're the better team, but you're desperate to find yourself losing at the end of the day. You can be scared, you can be angry, you can be a bitch On the side talking about pantothenic acid.
But... when we meet again, elimination will still be upon you. #霍布大人维生##新康口复##finals, we’re here#”
On the evening of May 30th, the Knicks’ official Twitter updated a section of tough remarks to hit back at the teams in the East, and it was directly accompanied by a picture of Snoopy holding the Eastern Conference championship trophy. It was written in clear and conspicuous red fonts: East s King! !
The Knicks management obviously can't continue to tolerate those guys saying sour words like girls over and over again: Whether you like it or not, it is the Knicks who are playing on behalf of the East. You don't need to bless, but let him say those 'jointly humiliated' nonsense. If you really have that much self-respect, you beat the Knicks in the series!
The Knicks' statement led to even greater counterattacks, and the team that originally wanted to clean up the Knicks even made it clear that they would never let the so-called 'King of the Eastern Conference' win any games in the 2009-10 season showdown.
This made the atmosphere in the east full of unprecedented gunpowder.
But in Los Angeles, it is still a scene of singing and dancing. The Los Angeles people did not regard the Knicks as an opponent. They were more willing to discuss the scandal of the Duke, and how many Duke girls will appear in the star-studded Staples Arena tomorrow night.
And...Compared with the outcome of the Finals, Los Angeles people are more keen to discuss whether Jenny Buss is more suitable for the Lakers, or Jim Buss is more in control of the overall situation. It seems that neither of them has any outstanding management ability. Jim Buss is a famous playboy. He even wants to sign all nightclub doormen to the Lakers. And... Jenny Buss slept with Hollywood male stars or well-known athletes when she was young, and there are still nearly eight pages of her nude photos on Playboy... Of course, her most famous work is probably her college days. The good girlfriends sent their father's luxurious big bed one by one.
The upper classes in Los Angeles have always been so slutty***** The night before the game, Rihanna confronted Kim Kardashian on the streets of Los Angeles, pointing at each other and yelling at each other, all kinds of dizzying ** The officials are endless, and at the end, the two sides even want to use each other's buttocks to have a unique mutual rigidity. But in the end, Rihanna was slapped away by Lamar Odom, who looked rough. And this picture made the headlines of the major media.
Hollywood was seriously concerned, and it seemed to ignite the spark that sparked the duchess-ladies melee in Los Angeles. People are expecting something more exciting to happen next, after all... Los Angeles is a truly star-studded arena, where the duchess girls with factions are full of factions but unanimously outward. Moreover, His Excellency the Duke will stay here for at least five days... It is impossible not to expect something to happen.
In addition to the serious concerns of the entertainment media, the sports media finally discovered a trace of the finals' gunpowder from this news.
Rihanna claimed that Lamar Odom is not a man at all, he is the kind of third-rate who only knows how to do things to women. Can't compare with Snoopy at all,
And Lamar Odom responded, tomorrow I will blow up the so-called Lord Duke and let him know what a real man is!
Kim Kardashian also jumped out: The only regret is that the hotel did not sell popcorn at that time!
The dispute between the three parties quickly triggered a series of teams. Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and Selena, the duchess girls, stood on Rihanna's side without any surprise, and vowed that Odom would definitely be there. The pitch gets a lesson.
The Kardashian sisters, Paris Hilton and others think that Rihanna, who is rude and reckless, should be taught a lesson, and Snoopy may not be able to defeat Odom, who is taller and looks stronger... Odom recently He is discussing the next contract with the Lakers management, and the Kardashian family certainly hopes that he can get a higher price. After all, Kohler is not a force to save money.
When the basketball media pages are flooded with these news, people have ignored another really shocking news...Andrew Bynum will miss the first game of the finals.
The Lakers announced the news 8 hours before the first game of the finals. The external life is: Bynum's knee joint is unwell, and he is on the daily observation list. He will miss the first game of the finals.
Of course, with the announcement of this official news, insider news soon came out. A staff member who did not want to be named told the reporter: "Andrew Bynum was in the wrong position during the tactical training before the game. Invite Kobe Bryant to criticize, Bynum fights back hard... You don't play according to the tactics. You don't play the triangle offense at all. You are always the strong side, there is no transfer at all! Even Michael Jordan would not dominate the ball like this. "
"A fierce quarrel broke out between the two sides. Subsequently, Kobe Bryant put pressure on the coaching staff, and Phil Jackson had to make news that Bynum was suspended. This is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger for the Lakers' prospects for the finals .”
When this revelation appeared in the media, anyone who knew a little bit about the internal atmosphere of the Lakers could know very clearly... This was definitely done by Jenny Buss. She created an image of Kobe Bryant as a dictator.
In fact, Kobe Bryant did say in a very angry situation: Even without you, we can still win!
However, anyone could tell that it was angry words.
However, Phil Jackson actually suspended Bynum.
This turned... what was originally a spat at the level into an open conflict.
Phil Jackson is very good at doing this kind of operation. Behind the quarrel of the OK group, there is no lack of his handwriting. As for... the fierce fight between Langley and Pippen during the bull period, it was completely controlled by him.
...
"Hey, Snoopy. What do you think about... Lamar Odom publicly 'beating up' the Duchess girl Rihanna before the game? And, he said that he will clean you up in tonight's game!"
Before the start of the game, almost all reporters were asking Doug for Odom's opinion.
Even though the internal strife broke out in the Lakers is so big, no one thinks that this matter will be related to the Knicks... Bynum's suspension is considered to weaken the strength of the Lakers, but it will not cause additional interference to the victory.
The only suspense now is... Will the Duke respond to Lamar Odom in the game? Will he give the Duchess a bad breath?
Judging from the current technical and tactical levels of the two, their strength should be between equals. Both are on the talking list of players at the elite level, but neither has progressed to the next level.
Therefore, if...these two people confronted each other, it would be a highlight of this unsuspecting finals.
"I am opposed to any use of violence against women. This Mr. Lamar Odom has obviously set a very bad example." Dug answered the reporter very officially, while emphasizing: "I welcome any challenge. , and accept any challenge!"
Although Doug's reply was not as swearing as Lamar Odom's, reporters who knew Snoopy already knew that the Duke would never forgive Lamar Odom tonight. His style has always been: don't speak hard words! Do not do soft things!
...
At 7:30 p.m. Western time, the Staples Arena was brightly lit, and excited Lakers fans flocked to the arena, filling the entire arena to the brim.
Although this year's Finals has been hailed as the least suspenseful matchup since the new century, this will not affect the enthusiasm of the Lakers fans in the slightest. They now just want to regain the championship trophy that has not been seen for many years.
Moreover, wouldn't it be more interesting if it could be swept away?
Therefore, there are at least five thousand brooms in the Staples Arena.
Under the lens of ESPN, TNT, NBC, and ABC, the entire Staples Center has become a huge garbage dump... Even the dirtiest neighborhood doesn't need so many brooms.
For the audience in front of the TV, what they most want to see is not the arrogant Lakers broom, but the female stars on the sidelines, especially the duchess girls.
Karlie Klaus appeared on the sidelines, with Miley Cyrus and Rihanna on her left, Selena and another Disney princess Demi on her right...It is worth mentioning that, Demi's boyfriend, Joey Jonathan, was also seated next to her, but he was wearing a full Kobe Bryant jersey. In stark contrast to Selena wearing a Knicks jersey.
In fact, Taylor Swift, Joey Jonathan's rumored ex-girlfriend, was also at the scene, and she sat behind the visiting team's bench with Britney Spears and Jessica Alba, also wearing Duke's No. 10 jersey.
In addition... Jennifer Lawrence, who claimed to be the Duke's first love girlfriend, also appeared on the sidelines.
It's worth mentioning though...the Kardashian sisterhood sat around her...she looked a little out of date.
"Compared with the game, I look forward to the melee after the game!"
Charles Barkley looked at the duchess girls who appeared in the camera, he was inexplicably excited: "Snoopy is really an enviable and fraternal man."
