Chapter 139 The Mysterious Person
As one of the most fanatical fans in the league, Mark Cuban will not miss every game of the team, even if it is an away game, he will take a special plane to go with the team.
An important game like the Western Conference Finals is no exception. Cuban sat in the back row of the team's bench and witnessed the team's two losses at the Staples Center.
He had a gloomy face, and the moment he cursed abroad was also captured by the on-site photographer, which became the material of the emoticon package.
Of course, the media will not let Cuban go, and they are all looking forward to the wonderful remarks of the fanatical boss known for his big mouth.
"We just lost two away games, isn't it normal? But the Los Angeles people should be careful, because we won't lose three games in a row." The depressed Mavericks boss set a goal for the team in front of the media flag.
In contrast, Jim is obviously not as "competent" as Cuban. The team went to Dallas, but he stayed in the Los Angeles headquarters as usual.
"The Detroit Pistons will hire Larry Brown as their head coach next season. The news will be announced soon. Mitch, our chance is here." Jim put down the phone and strolled leisurely to the library. Inside Puchak's office.
"Sometimes I really doubt that you have arranged moles within the Pistons. Why do you know about them every time they move? Besides, Larry Brown became the head coach of the Pistons. What does this have to do with us? ? I don't see where the opportunity you mentioned is." Kupchak was a little dazed by Jim's nonsensical words.
"Yesterday, at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Joe Dumars set up a workout for Darko Milicic from Serbia. Scouts from a dozen teams were in the workout." Jim Said unhurriedly.
"My God, I didn't listen to your stories!"
"Bonnie also went to watch the fun. It is said that Darko Milicic showed everything his team wanted the NBA team to see in this non-confrontation practice. The Pistons even invited Will Robinson, he is 93 years old, when he started scouting, our center was still George McCann, let's hear what he said: 'He reminds me of 40 years ago, when he was a young Weir T Chamberlain. Chamberlain can do anything, I haven't seen a young man so well rounded since Chamberlain. There is no doubt that this kid will dominate the game and he will be the next legend. The only thing that can destroy this kid Only women, God forbid, Chamberlain's talent is not only on the court, I hope this kid is too." Jim lowered his voice, imitating the tone of another man.
"He really said that? Are the Pistons not afraid that the Cavaliers will choose Milicic? Or is Joe Dumars' intention? And I still don't see where our opportunities are? Kang, don't keep it up." Ku Disbelief was written all over Puchak's face.
"No one was allowed to videotape the whole trial training, and before that, his information in the national league was basically blank. I remember Brett Forrest, the ESPN reporter, when he went to Serbia to interview They even got rejected. But one thing worth noting is that all the trial training programs were arranged by Milicic's agent team, the guy named Mark Constein." Jim put away his smile, His hands rest on Kupchak's desk. "This means that Joe Dumars didn't expect that the Grizzlies could get the second pick, so he didn't have any advance understanding of Milicic, and he didn't even figure out what the focus of the trial training was. As for They made a special trip to Serbia to watch the game or something, and Milicic didn't play at all in those games!"
"I'm not only suspecting that you have arranged a mole in the Pistons, but has your mole been sent to Serbia?" Kupchak covered his head.
"Don't forget, I was born as a scout. I went to France for the first time three years ago and established a scouting system in Europe. They don't reveal their identities, go to get close to the players, just observe them. The performance in the game, make a record. Although Serbia has been uneven in recent years, we have seen Milicic’s games a few games. It's so hot right now." Jim pulled a chair over and sat down again.
"So you have a new plan? What do we need to do?" Kupchak was trying to digest Jim's point.
"We will wait and see what happens and let them continue this rivalry. There is still more than a month, enough for us to do something. Remember, before the end of the finals, there must be no trading rumors. Through the rookie And free agents, enough for our next round of reinforcements." Jim said seriously.
The Dallas Mavericks, who are 0 to 2 behind, will have a last stand at home. If they lose this game, they will basically be declared out. After all, no team can come back from 0 to 3.
Before the game started, the Lakers players felt the malice from Dallas.
As one of the most luxurious arenas, the American Airlines Center even has taps for beer.Before the game started, the visiting team's locker room where the Lakers were located suddenly ran out of cold water.
The temperature in Texas in May is already not low, and there is no hot water for bathing, so the impact is not too big, but there is no cold water, and it is impossible to take a bath at all.
The team's assistant coach Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was impressed by this. The Celtics of Red Auerbach used this trick often against the Lakers.He comforted the players and said that at least the air conditioner in the American Airlines Center arena is still good, not the Boston Garden sauna, and the basket and floor have not been tampered with.
But this obviously still affected the team. From the first quarter, the whole team felt unable to raise their spirits. Artest was even blocked by the basket when he made an empty layup.
On the other hand, the Mavericks are full of momentum. They played extremely depressed in the first two games. Michael Finley, who has no sense of presence, finally broke out. It seems that he wants to prove to people that he is the boss of the team. In the first quarter alone, Finley made 5 of 4 shots. In the middle, scored 11 points.
The Mavericks led the way and did not give the Lakers any chance. They defeated the Lakers 113-97 at home and tied the total score to 1-2.Finley scored a game-high 34 points, Nowitzki 23 points and 16 rebounds.
Bryant only played 31 minutes and scored 26 points.Zen Master sent a full bench in the fourth quarter.
After the game, no one from the Lakers attended the press conference, only head coach Phil Jackson briefly accepted an interview with reporters.
"My players need to get back to the hotel and shower as soon as possible."
Let's ask for a monthly ticket shamelessly... It seems that it has always been 0, which is a bit false...
