Chapter 430 [Black and black, just hit it off]

Chapter 430 [Black and black, hit it off]

Entering garbage time at the end, Barkley said: "This year, we introduced Cassell, a point guard who averaged 19.8 points and 7.3 assists per game. He shot 49% from the field and 36.4% of his three-pointers. I think Garnett has no shortage of helpers, but The Timberwolves are still not a top team."

"The Timberwolves are far from becoming a top team, and they still lack Carter, O'Neal, Iverson, and McGrady." Yang Rui continued.

Barkley laughed: "Didn't you say Kobe was afraid he would fight O'Neal?"

Yang Rui smiled and said: "With these four people, the Timberwolves can at least make it to the finals. If they lose in the finals, it must be because of poor defense. These four did not give Garnett enough support."

Smith was out of breath laughing aside.

Yang Rui continued: "However, Garnett has also made sacrifices for the team. His annual salary this season is 2800 million. In order to allow the team to recruit more excellent players, he renewed his contract in advance in 2003 and signed with the Timberwolves. He's on a five-year, $5 million contract. Next season, he'll be paid a lot less."

Barkley fills up. "Unfortunately, Garnett has cut his salary by several million, and the Timberwolves still can't attract big-name stars unless they are willing to take a salary cut and come to Minnesota to hug their thighs."

In the end, the Timberwolves lost 78 to 105, and the difference in strength was obvious.

Cassell is a point guard who is good at using his body to play, and Grizzlies point guard Baron Davis is stronger than him.Davis broke out this time, scoring 22 points and 12 assists, while Cassell only had 14 points and 7 assists, which was much inferior.

保罗-加索尔也发挥出色，14投11中，罚球8中5，砍下27分6篮板1助攻；加内特22投11中，罚球9中8，得到30分16篮板5助攻2抢断2盖帽。

斯泽比亚克10投4中，三分3中2, 得到10分，森林狼再没人得分上双。

That night, Garnett's fans on the Internet went crazy. The commentary on TNT radio was so irritating. Did my "Wolf King" provoke you?

There are also some people who think that Yang Rui is right. Garnett is really strong, but is he always held back by his teammates?He led the team to never pass the first round of the playoffs, the iron wolf king, the water teammates.

There's a reason Rui Yang has Garnett.

He has always wondered. In his previous life, the Timberwolves had beautiful statistics and did not win games. Garnett was praised to the sky. In the future, Kevin Love has more beautiful statistics, but everyone said that Love is a data brush.

Garnett joined the Celtics in 2007 and set off a wave of league stars huddled together. A group of people actually said that he was the thigh of the Celtics, and they also said that forming a team at the end of his career was not called a group.

When the Big Three of the Celtics teamed up, they were all alive and well. They were able to abuse James, who averaged 30+ per game in the playoffs. In the finals, Pierce did not lose to Kobe.The Big Three are the golden age of 31 or [-] years old, and some people say that they are at the end of their careers!

In 2014, Love also went to the Cavaliers to form a group, and won the championship in 16. As a result, he was evaluated as a pseudo-giant, cumbersome, winning has nothing to do with him, and losing is his fault.

As far as Garnett's career evaluation is concerned, Yang Rui feels that it is not that he is black, but that the NBA is too dark. In this dark place, black stars are all uncles.A star with a creamy appearance like Love, averaging 15 rebounds per game is a soft egg.

Yang Rui returned to Los Angeles and stayed at home for a week.

On March 3, he received a call from his agent, John O'Connor.

"Jerry, Lakers owner Jerry Buss contacted me. He wants to invite you to dinner tomorrow night and talk about cooperation."

"Okay, what time, where?" Yang Rui smiled slightly, and it came after all.

As the season draws to a close, the Lakers won a few games and won't be the worst team, but they're still firmly in the lottery.

This was as early as Yang Rui expected. In his previous life, the Lakers with Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins finally only achieved the 12th record in the West. In the summer, they chose "Wash, Blow and Cut Sharks" Andrew Bynum.

Now, because the Jazz, Warriors, and Clippers are too bad, the Lakers rank No. 11 in the West, which is not bad.

The agreed location is Mr.Chow in the Beverly Hills store. Yang Rui also likes this restaurant. The founder is Zhou Yinghua, known as the Chinese God of Cookery. Since 1973, he has been loved by celebrities in Los Angeles. The menu is based on Chinese and Western People's tastes have made innovations.

Old Bass reserved a private room and would not be disturbed by reporters.

Yang Rui arrived later, and when he entered the room, he saw that there were only two people, old Buss, who was dressed in casual clothes, who was still very energetic, and his son, Jim Buss, who was also dressed in casual clothes.

"Hello, Jerry, nice to meet you." Old Bass greeted him kindly.

"Both Mr. Bass, I'm also very happy to meet you." Yang Rui smiled and shook hands with the two.

"You can call me Jerry, call him Jim." Old Bass smiled.

Looking at today's posture, he guessed that the old Bass had already begun to train his successors.

Choosing a successor is the most important thing for a wealthy family, no matter what country or era is no exception, if it is not handled properly, it will be very troublesome.Just like the Kowloon Inheritance in the Qing Dynasty, a group of princes circled around a woman whose eyes were not focused, and finally a tragedy of death at every step occurred.

Jerry Buss, the Lakers owner who made almost perfect decisions all his life, is now caught in this vicious circle.

The old Buss has six children, four of whom have been excluded from becoming the Lakers owner, and the remaining eldest daughter competes with the second son.

On the surface, the old Bass' arrangement for the replacement plan was the best choice he could make.Jenny is in charge of business operations and Jim is in charge of team operations, so the siblings have to work together.Jenny made money, and Jim had the capital to sign stars.Conversely, if the team is playing poorly, Jenny's business development will also have problems.

In terms of ability, Jenny is obviously stronger, but the old Bass faced the difficulties in his successor's career, and like all the heads of family industries, he chose to pass on sons rather than daughters.

Jim Bass has the upper hand in management battles because of his father's support.He has one quality, which is why the old Bass chose him, that he never demands too much rights and never complains.He just doesn't like Jackson, an outsider who is involved in too many things with the Lakers, and is more exclusive.

And Jane Buss is too strong and ambitious, and wants to seize the power and completely control the Lakers after the old Buss retires.She is also a "Zen Master" and a "Zen Master" when she loses. Jackson brought a championship to the Lakers, and she helped Jackson squeeze out the Lakers' meritorious Jerry West, which was a big failure.

After ordering, Old Buss smiled and said, "Jerry, you must have guessed that we would come to you and have the intention to join the Lakers, so we skip the temptation and directly discuss the conditions. I believe in your coaching. Ability, team building vision, and Jim has the courage and enterprising spirit, with Kupchak assisting, the only thing lacking is some hard achievements to speak out, he needs the help of capable people, I hope you can help him. As long as you It's not too much of a request, we can all agree."

"Happy, I like to work with people like you." Yang Rui smiled: "Don't worry, I won't ask too much."

Yang Rui admired the courage of Old Buss and his efficient communication skills. He expressed several key points of cooperation in a few words, which made people feel good.

Old Buss's attitude is clear, Yang Rui wants money for money, and people to give, but he must stand by Jim Buss and be his helper.In this way, the Lakers will definitely not have family infighting in the short term.

The two sides hit it off, and the internal harmony of the Lakers is also what Yang Rui wants.
