Chapter 560 Welcome to the Bounty League
Regarding the reporter's question, Li Shengli was just describing the objective facts, but the Jazz, the number one player in the Western Conference, was really worried.
Leaving aside Li Shengli, who is in peak form, the Lakers are currently unable to field a full lineup because Ben and Crotty are still on the suspended list, but when the time comes... they will all be released in the playoffs.
When Malone meets Big Ben, it depends on how restricted his performance is.
Hornacek probably didn't get any good results when he met Crotty.
Even if Li Shengli returns to his regular state, the problem is that other positions have also been strengthened, and the offense and defense are both satisfactory. Even though the Jazz are still first in the Western Conference, Jerry Sloan really doesn't dare to meet the Lakers. What will it be like? !
How many years have we not seen such a weird playoff game? !
It is obviously a strong team, but it has fallen to the bottom of the top eight. This is really worrying for the leading teams. Originally, there was little suspense about the first place playing eighth, but now the Lakers really have to fall to eighth. One... is actually the most dangerous position.
Can't rush to be first!
In the past, rushing to the first place was to ensure safety in the first round, but now rushing to the first place is simply a car accident.
Jerry Sloan's ideas spread and he decided to use the final few games of the regular season to send the Rockets who were chasing behind them to the scene of a car accident to avoid the possibility of his own team overturning in the first round.
It’s just that the Rockets are also scolding!
Currently second in the Western Conference, it is safe to finish seventh in the Western Conference.
No matter who is ranked seventh, as long as it is not the Lakers, and the last few games are no longer a battle for first or second place, it has completely become a chase battle to avoid the Lakers chariot.
The Lakers are seventh, and the two companies will compete for first place!
The Lakers are in eighth place, and the two teams will fight for second place, participating in this season's bad team, as an example of an atypical bad team, and to be honest... this kind of situation is too rare.
…
After the messy interviews after the game were basically finished, Li Shengli finally returned to the locker room.
"What the hell, what are you doing here?"
At this moment, all the Lakers teammates saw Li Shengli and gathered around them. They all turned red with excitement. On the contrary, Li Shengli was the calmest one.
"Lee, I, Campbell, am convinced today!"
"I, Hori, am convinced too. Really, 80 points. Damn it, that's 80 points!"
"Boss, boss, this is tonight's technical statistics sheet, please sign it for me quickly, sign it!"
"Mine, I want it too, sign one for me, and I'll lock it in the safe when I get home."
"Okay, okay, come one by one, I can't run away, why are you surrounding me." Li Shengli's old face darkened, but he still signed the statistics sheet brought out by his teammates. After all, it had special meaning, and Kobe would also Mixed in the crowd, Li Shengli picked him out alone.
…
"Kobe!" Li Shengli shouted.
"What's wrong?" Kobe was stunned and didn't know what was going on, but he still congratulated him. His face showed the excitement that Li Shengli had reached 80 points, but also felt confused when he stopped at 80 points. "Li, I know you are disdainful." You were playing garbage time, but what happened to you on the last ball? My palms were so sweaty that you lost 1 point for nothing?"
"Hey hey hey, guess what?"
"I don't guess, no, something's wrong..." Kobe glanced at Li Shengli and suddenly felt something was wrong, "Why do I feel like you want to trick me?"
"Nonsense, how could I cheat you." Li Shengli's face straightened, and he pulled Kobe to a corner where no one was. "To be honest, I originally wanted to finish with 79 points, but they all went to the free throw line and didn't make a single shot. It’s not good either, but 80 is okay, and there’s still room for improvement.”
"Is there still room for improvement? What do you mean?"
"Nonsense, didn't you listen to what I said? I'll leave 1 point for you to play. When the time comes, I will give you a score of 81+."
"Fuck, Lee, are you serious?" Kobe was dumbfounded at this moment, "Why, why do you want to do this?"
"Of course...for our friendship!"
"I do not believe."
"Ahem, what about that? I've been banned from too many games recently and I'm too poor, but I suddenly thought of a good way to generate income. How much would it be worth if I led someone to put you on the single-game scoring list? ?”
"Well, although it is a bit more difficult, the problem is that the publicity is effective!"
"When the time comes to record single-game points, single-game statistics, career highs, double-doubles, and triple-doubles, we will clearly mark the price. The team will replace new players every year, and when the new players come and pay, they will be gold-plated."
"When you become a stable starter, the two of us find the boss and Crotty controls the ball. This is simply a business to make a fortune. The higher the gold content, the higher the price, right?"
"Wow, let's join forces to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory!"
"Lee, no, I don't have the money to buy it, I can't afford it!" Kobe was really stupid this time, waving his hands repeatedly.
Li Shengli glanced at Kobe with disdain and said: "You are on your own and don't need money. You have to prepare in the past few days. Today is special. I don't think there will be a chance in the next few regular season games. We have to wait until Ben and Crotty are lifted." Let's work together to do something big. 81 points in the playoffs, what do you think?"
"Li, are you sure you can do it? Of course I can't say I can win, but can the game be under your control?"
"It all depends on how fast you grow. In our group, you can be the main attacker, Ben and Crotty can be the defender, and I'm the mobile guy. As long as we don't run into strong teams, it'll be fine. We won't deal with any orders that are too tricky." Just take it.”
"Take...take orders?"
"Yes, we also need to emphasize customer experience and provide customized services for customers."
"Practice hard, and we will be able to take orders at the beginning of next season. The Best of the Week, the Best of the Month, and the Best Rookie are not difficult, but the fees cannot be low. If you want to sprint for the five data kings, ordinary people can't do it, but you see... …Eddie and Nick have saved a lot of money, and it’s not impossible for them to lead the scoring and assists ranks.”
"Are you sure you can also be a five-item data king?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm not sure. It's hard to collect data for single-player operations such as blocks and steals, but scoring and assists need to be coordinated." Li Shengli raised his eyebrows: "But... this kind of difficult work, We collect the money first, and there is no guarantee of success, and half of it will be refunded if it fails.”
"Then who wants to play with you?"
"No, no, no, you're still young, Kobe! Eddie and Nick's contracts still have one year left. They can improve their data even if they don't have the best statistics, so this is... investment, data investment. The real expected return is a growth contract. Ah, the same goes for Campbell, this guy has an annual salary of 7 million, is it difficult to rob him of 1 million?"
"If it doesn't work out, let's buy one and get one free. If you buy the Data King package, you will get a triple pair as a gift."
"After covering the whole season, we will give him some discounts and give him an extra triple-double or something. Don't always worry about the success rate. Our team... is very stable!"
"Well, if there is anything immature about the specific plan, let's discuss it again. This thing will definitely be reliable!"
…
This, this, this...
A team of bounty hunters?
Are you planning to open a data store in the alliance?
To be honest, in the NBA's fifty-year history, nothing like this weird thing has ever happened, and Kobe had a premonition... that the Lakers, under the leadership of Li Shengli, would harm the entire league and create a scene of false prosperity. With the big brushes and gathering in Los Angeles, it seems that it is much easier for the team to grab people in the free market?
