Chapter 1217 Dayao's Journey to the West

At this time, Lakers boss Buss was talking to Phil Jackson. He hoped that Jackson could stay.

Jeanie Buss also wanted Jackson to stay, but Jim Buss didn't.

But Phil Jackson refused the detention of Bass Sr. and Jenny Buss and insisted on leaving.

"Phil, do you have any suggestions for the Lakers?" The matter was settled, and Old Buss put aside the matter and asked instead.

Phil Jackson said: "This year is a good opportunity. If you can seize him, anyone can trade him. It is the right time for the Lakers to rebuild.

But if he cannot be introduced, then this lineup can still be played, because there is no better lineup than this lineup. Duncan and Gasol are actually in good condition.

Of course, if LeBron James can be traded, it will have an advantage in the competition with the Suns. "

Old Bass nodded and began to think about what Phil Jackson mentioned.

Over the past few seasons, the Lakers have invested too much, but the results have been average. Except for the championship in the 2070 season when Li Ba retired, they have achieved nothing.

Fortunately, the football market was good and he still made a lot of money, which kept him from feeling too bad.

But now the team has reached a critical point, which is likely to affect its development in the next five to ten years. He needs to consider it carefully.

The news that the Lakers may be rebuilding seems more shocking than the Suns reaching the Western Conference Finals.

The media analyzed overnight that this year is another year of labor negotiations. Labor negotiations will begin after the end of the season, and the 2011-12 season is likely to be suspended. If the Lakers rebuild at this point, there are pros and cons, and reconstruction is very possible.

There are no big fish in this year's free market. Although Tracy McGrady and O'Neal's contracts have ended, they should retire. Among the famous stars, Nene and DeAndre Jordan count as two, Kirilenko counts as one, and the old one Big Z, and the other one is Gasol.

But this year it is very likely that there will be a super big fish. Li Ba’s six-year contract has been implemented for five years, and the last year is a player option. If he declares to enter the free market, then all teams in the league are likely to announce Rebuild and fight for Liba.

Famous basketball commentator Bill Simon said: "The Lakers have wanted to introduce the Hammers for a long time, but have never been able to succeed. This year is a good opportunity. If they announce a rebuild, they are very likely to get the Hammers.

But I am sure that the Lakers must use Kobe as a bargaining chip to trade for the Hammers, because the Hammers are likely to sign and then trade with the Suns, and will not let the parent team lose everything, and Kobe, who has market appeal, is the Suns The best choice for the team is not to let the ball market collapse directly. "

As the most famous whistleblower, Wo Shen didn't sleep at all that night. He contacted his network and obtained a lot of inside information. He even got some information about the Lakers.

However, the information he wanted most was not available, and that was whether Li Ba would enter the free market.

Of course, he knew what Li Ba said in the visiting team's locker room, saying that he did not want to go to the Lakers, but this cannot explain whether Li Ba will enter the free market.

He found David Griffin, but Griffin did not give him any news. Instead, he repeatedly emphasized that Li Ba would stay with the Suns.

He found Gao Yuanyuan, but Gao Yuanyuan also didn't give him the news he wanted.

Finally he found Bill Duffy again, but still no news.

He decided to come to Phoenix and meet Li Ba in person to get the exact information.

On the 14th, Li Ba got up at ten o'clock in the morning and received a call from Dayao soon after.

"Hammer, will you give up the last year of your contract this year?" Dayao asked.

"I can't say, I have to look at the situation of the collective bargaining agreement. If the salary cap increases significantly, I have no reason to wrong myself and will definitely enter the free market." Li Ba said.

"The Suns will definitely give you the best contract, haven't you talked about it?" Dayao asked.

"Of course we have talked about it. Sarver said two years ago that he would follow up with the best contract." Li Ba said with a smile.

"So even if you enter the free market, it is only symbolic." Dayao said with a smile.

"Of course, I'm doing well here, why should I leave?" Li Ba said with a smile.

At noon, Li Ba treated Kobe, Duncan, and Gasol to the Senbei restaurant.

Instead of just treating the guests, he took advantage of the opportunity to hold a telephonic board meeting at the Senbei restaurant.

At the same time, all the star shareholders of Senbei restaurants also attended the meeting at Senbei restaurants in various places.

Li Ba announced an investment of US$500 million, and Senbei Restaurant will expand in all major cities around the world, including China.

This plan was approved by all shareholders, and the capital increase plan was successfully passed.

After the meeting, Gao Yuanyuan asked Li Ba about his plans for the offseason.

"Let's play Wimbledon. In Europe, tennis has a greater influence than basketball. I strive to dominate Wimbledon to expand my influence in Europe." Li Bada said.

"You don't want to change teams? Anyway, the shares of the Suns have been sold long ago." Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"Be honest, have you been bribed by some team?" Li Ba asked, glaring at Gao Yuanyuan.

"You're the best at telling lies."

Gao Yuanyuan rolled his eyes at Li Ba angrily and said, "I have received calls from all the team general managers."

"Don't worry about them. Let's decide after the labor agreement." Li Ba said.

On the 15th, the second round of the Western Conference is over.

In the Western Conference, the Mavericks defeated the Thunder in a tiebreaker and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

The Western Conference Finals will start on the 17th.

In the East, the second round ended on the 13th, and the Heat and Celtics met in the Eastern Conference Finals.

On the 15th, the Eastern Conference Finals officially started, two days earlier than the Western Conference Finals.

The media predicted that the Heat, with a younger lineup, would win this series.

Before the game, Yao Ming called to learn from Li Ba, hoping to get some ideas to deal with Marc Gasol.

"Don't play under the basket, play outside. Gasol is slow. If you pull him out, he won't be able to defend the basket, so you can create opportunities for your teammates to cut open the basket." Li Ba suggested.

That night, Li Ba watched the game at home, and the final result was beyond the media's prediction. The Celtics, who were as old as the Suns, won the victory.

Yao Ming played for 30 minutes, made 10 of 15 shots, including a three-pointer from the top of the arc, and made 9 of 10 free throws, scoring 32 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks, 3 turnovers, and 5 fouls, which was a luxurious data, and blew Gasol.

He gave Li Ba's suggestion to the coaching staff, which was adopted. He made 5 assists in a single game, which proved that Li Ba's tactical suggestion was of great value.

In addition, O'Neal played 18 minutes as a substitute and performed well, scoring 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks.

With the strength of the inside line, the Celtics had the last laugh.
