Chapter 55 If the Lakers Are a Wrecked Ship

Ge Feng's physical fitness is still not as durable as these black people.

Garivetti shook his head regretfully, and silently drew a circle on Ge Feng's name.

Kobe frowned and asked Pelinka, "What happened to Ge Feng?"

Pelinka glanced at Ge Feng who was out of breath, and said, "Maybe it's because they don't have enough physical fitness. That's how they are of the yellow race. They get tired every now and then."

Kobe gently pulled the brim of his hat back, and said to assistant trainer Marco Nunez: "Ge Feng's physical fitness needs to be trained intensively, but it is not impossible to join the Lakers. You will tell old Gary later that Ge Feng is a key consideration for the Lakers this year. If it is not for obvious technical shortcomings, try not to kick him out of the team."

Marco Nunez said: "I think so too. Ge Feng's performance in the first half was outstanding. In addition to being able to drive his teammates to play, the open three-pointers and occasional advanced defensive awareness are quite good, which is very suitable for the Lakers at this stage."

Kobe nodded and didn't say much. After chatting casually with Pelinka for a while, he left the Lakers' training ground.

From the second half until the end of the game, Garivetti didn't give Ge Feng another chance to play. Ge Feng's team was also beaten by the opponent for 20 points. Now everyone's face is very gloomy.

But their feelings are not important to Garivetti at all.

Garivetti just wants the actual combat data of these players. Whether they play well and whether they can win is not in Garivetti's control.

After the game, Marco Nuñez whispered what Kobe had just said in Garivetti's ear.

Garivetti frowned after listening, and seemed a little unwilling.

After all, what Kobe meant, Garivetti had to save Kobe some face.

Garivetti crossed out the circle behind Ge Feng's name, and then announced the invitation list for the second trial training.

Ge Feng, Marquis, Zubac, Damian Jones, and Diallo.

"The next tryout, the team's owner Jim Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak will come to watch the promoted rookies in person. I hope you will have a good performance by then."

Garivetti glanced at the five advanced players, and his eyes finally stayed on Ge Feng.

Garivetti said it was the second trial training, but it actually started after the eliminated players left the Lakers training ground that afternoon.

The location is still in the arena of the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Clippers' trial training is about to begin. The Lakers must hurry up to end the trial training and leave the venue to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Because it is the off-season, the stadium in Los Angeles is extremely deserted, and only professional staff are still active in the stadium.

Few of the fans pay attention to the NBA's rookie draft situation.

Many players who participated in the Los Angeles Clippers trial training have already arrived at the Los Angeles stadium ahead of schedule.

Since the Lakers are in trial training, after these Clippers' trial players came, they watched the Lakers' trial training on a high platform.

Ge Feng saw a very familiar figure.

And he is from the same country - Zhou Qi.

From the team trials that Zhou Qi participated in before, Ge Feng heard that Zhou Qi's biggest advantages among rookies are height and wingspan, as well as fast movement when used as a center.

Due to the age difference of four years, Ge Feng has never met Zhou Qi in any regular competition, and the two are just acquaintances, not acquaintances.

Zhou Qi also showed special concern for Ge Feng, the little brother who is also from China.

The two came together in a friendly manner and whispered about the daily life.

After a while, surrounded by two or three beauties, the owner of the Lakers, Jim Buss, made his debut.

Many players who participated in the Clippers' trial training couldn't help but giggle.

With such a boss, the Lakers still want to make the playoffs?

Forget it!
Jim Buss, the boss, can't wait to get all the dogs in front of his bar into the Lakers by pulling relationships.

There are still several rookies in the NBA who are willing to join the Lakers.

Nowadays, most of the rookies who are still willing to join the Lakers on the surface are aimed at the media exposure of the Lakers centipedes, although they are not dead.

There are only a handful of players who are still willing to serve the Lakers.

The tragedy at the end of Kobe's career has a lot to do with the chaotic Lakers management.

Back then, Jerry Buss was a legend throughout his life, leaving a milestone for the Lakers in the history of the NBA.

Jerry Buss brought ten championship rings to the Lakers and cultivated superstars such as Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, O'Neal and Kobe.

In addition, Jerry Buss also boldly followed his daughter's suggestion and used Zen Master Jackson's triangle system as the Lakers' main offensive system, thus pushing the Lakers' gorgeous style of play to the extreme.

Jerry Buss trusts Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak unconditionally.

Under the leadership of Jerry Buss, Mitch Kupchak has frequently offered divine assists.

By keeping Kobe, selling the aging O'Neal to get Odom, Butler and Grant's gamble-style trades, the Lakers won the championship and cultivated the backbone of the future to dominate the league.

Especially in 08, Mitch Kupchak traded Kwame Brown and a first-round pick for Pau Gasol from the Grizzlies, which became the cornerstone of the Lakers dynasty.

In addition, Mitch Kupchak exchanged Cook and Evans for Ariza in 07, and signed Ron Artest in 09. In 2012, only one Bynum was used to exchange Warcraft Howard for the Lakers, and Nash, who signed the 2nd MVP.

But since the death of the former Lakers boss Jerry Buss, the power of the Lakers has unknowingly fallen into the hands of Jim Buss.

Ten years ago, the future of the Lakers was bright.

Ten years later, the future of the Lakers is dark.

It's all because Jerry Buss has a cheating son, Jim Buss.

Jim Buss first rejected Zen Master Jackson's request to be the Lakers management, which caused Zen Master to leave in anger.

Later, Jim Buss sent Pau Gasol away, allowing Kobe to return to the state of fighting alone.

Jim Buss will continue to use Bynum's worth to fight with Jenny Buss. (Bynum is Jim Buss' greatest credit.)
All kinds of struggles in the management are constantly exacerbating the contradictions in the Lakers locker room.

This is also condensed into the epitome of when the Lakers player Nick Young was beaten by five opponents, none of the Lakers teammates were willing to step forward to help.

The Lakers suffered a lot in the management battles again and again, and gradually moved away from the playoffs stage.

The current situation of the Lakers looks a lot like a centenarian with a bundle of baggage all over his body, trying to swim towards the boat.

Only when the old man swims on the boat can he have the time and energy to unload his burden.

If the old man can't swim on the boat, he will be buried in the bottom of the sea, and he will not be able to escape in this life.

Ge Feng's commitment and affection for the Lakers all depend on Kobe alone.

There may be no one in the world who loves the Lakers more than Kobe.

"If the Lakers were a wreck, I'd go down with the shit."

"I'm not going to jump into a lifeboat."

Ge Feng suddenly recalled a scene where Kobe publicly promised his loyalty to the Lakers in front of the media after he ruptured his Achilles tendon.
