Did Mayfair Jackson take the initiative to give in and calm the war?
Of course not. After talking so much in a roundabout way, it seemed like he was giving in.
In fact, it is still the same as before. He pointed out a lot of problems the Lakers have now. It is more like threatening Du Kang. Okay, I have slapped him for so long. If you continue to pursue and fight hard, be careful to destroy what you won before. All lost.
While threatening Du Kang, it also gave other people who supported Mayfair Jackson a reason to continue to support Mayfair Jackson. Now Coach D slaps her in the face aggressively. Those who supported Mayfair Jackson before are now silent.
As the person who started this scolding war, Phil Jackson must find some reasons for these supporters to continue to support him and firmly support him.
I have to say that Mayfair Jackson's reasons are indeed very good, very simple, very direct, and very convincing.
The Lakers are an aging team and are still on consecutive road trips.
Du Kang allowed Kobe and Howard to play a full 48 minutes in the game against the Nuggets.
Doesn't this mean that Coach D and his Lakers have reached the end of their strength?
Because Kobe and Howard don't play 48 minutes, the game will be lost.
There's no way Coach D is paying homage to Phil Jackson by shooting 19-for-44, and letting Kobe play for 48 minutes is also a tribute to Phil Jackson, right?
If you saw this level from Phil Jackson's column statement, then well, you are still on the first level.
Anyone who knows Coach D knows that this is a guy who takes soft things rather than hard ones.
When the Lakers played against the Heat, the Heat and team reporters wanted him to tell him directly that James was the best player in the league. This angered him, so they asked Kobe to beat James with his golden wristband during the game.
Facing Coach D with such a character and such a smart Coach D, Mayfair Jackson is really afraid that he will stop here. If he really stops here, he, Mayfair Jackson, will be slapped and swollen. , and the fan was in vain.
The purpose of saying these words at this time was to stimulate Coach D so that he would not be able to pull away as soon as possible.
To stimulate him, he must complete Kobe 1747. If you have the ability, really beat the Thunder and let Kobe 1747. If you can really drive Kobe 1747 when you play the Thunder, I will recognize it from now on. I will see you in the future. Three points lower, I will never dare to bark in front of you again, I admit it.
If you don't have that ability, then crawl for me like Mayfair Jackson!
As the leader of the Mayfair faction in this scolding war, after Mayfair Jackson stood up, those who had previously supported Mayfair Jackson soon stood up again.
"Kobe is already one of the greatest players on the planet. I don't know what Coach D calls the strongest Kobe, but at Kobe's current age, Coach D using him like this will make people doubt Coach D's Intentionally, the whole world knows that on the first day Coach D came to the Lakers, he wanted to correct Howard and take away Kobe. This has also been Jim's idea all along, whether it was to use Kobe to correct Howard or to fight with Mayfair. Excessive use of Kobe is not a good thing for the Lakers. Mayfair took the initiative to admit defeat for the sake of the Lakers, and Coach D should stop it."
This is the magician.
Magic's star power in the Lakers has always been more biased towards Auntie Jenny. When Jim Shumao helped Du Kang, he publicly opposed it on behalf of the star power.
Later, Du Kang's series of winning streaks, the magician and celebrity forces later ceased.
Until Jerry Buss gave Du Kang 6% of the Lakers shares, which completely angered the Lakers star, the Magic was forced to stand up again.
There is no way, he is one of the leaders of the Lakers' famous force, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is Du Kang's senior. No matter what, he is embarrassed to suppress the future leader of UCLA's force in the NBA.
And Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's relationship with Magic has never been that close.
In the 1981 Lakers playoffs, Magic came back from danger in the playoffs, but the Lakers still lost to the Rockets in an upset.
The loss in the playoffs angered Magic. It was rumored that Magic believed that the team's offense was too "slow" and threatened the Lakers by applying for a trade to leave the team, pointing the finger directly at the then Lakers coach Westhead.
At that time, Westphal's style of play with the Lakers was to dribble the ball across half court and give the ball to the "sky hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the low post.
Even though Magic miraculously won the Rookie Finals MVP in the 1980 Finals, his tactical status on the Lakers' offensive end and his status in the eyes of Lakers coach Westhead were still lower than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
At that time, the protagonist of the Lakers was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and everyone else was a supporting role, including Magic.
Magic's move was considered unkind within the Lakers at the time. Neither head coach Westhead nor boss Kareem Abdul-Jabbar treated the little brother badly.
Although the core of the team's offense is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, whether it is the right to shoot or the ball, the Magic is actually not treated badly.
Moreover, the magician was only in his second year, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was already 34 years old at that time. Wait a minute, you, the prince, will take over sooner or later, so why be so anxious.
It can only be said that the Lakers have always had this tradition of internal strife between the old and new superstars.
But at that time, Jerry West and Jerry Buss were both young and powerful and had strong control over the team.
It is definitely impossible to trade Magic, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar cannot leave, so the only person to take the blame is the team's head coach, Westhead.
After Westhead was forced to leave, Pat Riley corrected himself, and the Lakers began the show-time era. The Lakers' protagonist became Magic, while Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Worthy, and Cooper were reduced to Magic's supporting roles.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has always been worried about this matter. Even if both of them retired, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar still remembered it.
"Magic has a great sense of distance. It's not that he's unfriendly, he just didn't really get close to anyone in the first few years of his career. I don't really know him. Apart from a superficial understanding, he has always maintained a close relationship. His personality... Until recently, my understanding of him was very one-sided, and my reservations about him were because he needed to adapt to life in the league and figure out how to deal with all these things on his own. I guess he has I kept it because of my position in the game at the time and the aura that surrounded me..."
The magician actually knew this himself, and he also knew that he was indeed very unkind at the time.
"Everyone could tell for the first three or four years that we weren't the closest of brothers or even partners. I think I wanted him to know that I wasn't trying to intrude on his territory because he was the one in it. Master. But things were moving very quickly with me and maybe he thought I was invading (his territory) at that time, I don’t know."
In fact, from a magician's point of view, it's true. A good man should be like a king. He will rise slowly at that time. If he doesn't take advantage of the situation, how long will it take?
It was indeed a bit anxious to be anxious, but the final history proved that the magician's choice was correct.
If you are not kind, you are not kind.
But Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the emperor, lived too long. If you didn't usurp the throne, he would probably be a tragic 70-year-old prince. Magic will never be able to become one of the top five players in history and the number one point guard in NBA history.
On the contrary, it is possible to assist Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the first in history.
After Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired, his presence in the Lakers star circle was not high and he basically did not speak out. This is also related to the fact that the voice in the Lakers star circle has always been the magician.
The relationship between the two has never been very close.
And this also allowed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to escape from the war of words between Phil Jackson and Du Kang.
On the contrary, it is the magician who cannot escape even if he wants to.
In the end, Magic was the only one who could stand up and support Phil Jackson on behalf of the famous Lakers player.
If Magic still wants to be the boss of the Lakers' famous area, he can only stand opposite Du Kang at this time.
Interestingly, after the Magic voiced his support for Phil Jackson online, he also called Du Kang in private and said that he actually had nothing to do.
After talking to the magician on the phone, Du Kang felt dumbfounded.
He can actually understand the magician's current situation.
He is the small owner of the Lakers and the talker in the famous Lakers district. Whether Jim is the head of the house or Aunt Jenny is the head of the house, he needs to cooperate with them.
He doesn't seem to be very optimistic about Jim Shu's ability. Although he is now the leader, can it last long?
Du Kang is capable, but the tone is so high now that he is the enemy of the whole world. If he does not win the championship this year, there will be an avalanche. With the Lakers' old, weak, sick and disabled lineup, can they be competitive in the playoffs?
As a magician, it is impossible for him to overwhelm Jim Shao and Du Kang with all his wealth. Otherwise, what will he do if Aunt Jenny takes over later?
Do you want to stay with the Lakers?
Aunt Jenny's petty personality meant that the magician really wanted to overpower Jim. Once she got the upper hand, she would definitely clean up the magician's bronze statue.
As for Jim, I am the head of the family. If you don't stay with me, then you are just the remnant of Jenny.
This whole thing, the magician is really two-faced and not a human being.
If he were an ordinary celebrity, he could still be an idle cloud and wild crane.
But he happens to be the Lakers' number one star and the Lakers' young boss, so he can't even run away.
"Coach D, do you want my 4.6% of the Lakers shares? You want me to sell it to you for $50 million."
"..."
In the end, Du Kang really couldn't laugh or cry.
The Lakers' crazy infighting frightened Magic to this point, fearing that if he continued to stay in the Lakers, he would be shattered to pieces.
"Oh, Coach D, you are fighting each other too hard now. Mayfair Jackson's attacks on you are ruthless, and your counterattacks on Mayfair Jackson are also ruthless. I am caught in the middle. It's difficult."
"..."
"Furthermore, I'm afraid that if I don't pull away now, I will involuntarily do something to hurt the Lakers. Jenny can do such a thing, but I don't dare..."
"..."
Magic's words are very cryptic. To translate, you and Jim must win the championship this season. Jenny and the others must not let you win the championship. Judging from the way you fight now, in the future, if you really want to After winning the championship, Jenny and the others will stop you from winning the championship. It will be really difficult for him to do so, because everyone in the celebrity district supports Jenny, and he will really involuntarily hurt the Lakers.
Those Lakers star players stand in the back and don't get involved in bad things. He stands in the front and doesn't get sprayed to death by Lakers fans.
Now that he supports Phil Jackson, Lakers fans are already unhappy.
When the time comes when he wants to prevent the Lakers from winning the championship, then he will stop playing with the Lakers in the future.
"Anyway, with my status in the Lakers, when the dust settles, whether it is Jenny or Jim, they will rely on me. Why should I stay in this muddy water now? I can also be like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar now. Then you can step out and act like a wandering cloud and wild crane."
"..."
"So, Coach D, I'm not kidding. If you are interested, I am willing to transfer 4.6% of the Lakers' shares to you. The valuation of US$50 million is not high."
Du Kang didn't expect that the magician was really not joking.
To be honest, although the current market value of the Lakers is 1.1 billion US dollars, if you want to buy the Lakers, you can't buy it for 2 billion, let alone 1.1 billion.
Lakers shares are transferred between related households and cannot be bought outside.
The shares Jim Bass gave Magic were half sold and half given away.
The shares that the magician sold to Du Kang were also half sold and half given away.
The reason why Magic is half-selling and half-giving is because it is convenient for him to redeem these shares from Du Kang after he returns to the Lakers.
The magician did this once. When he was short of money, he sold his shares to Old Bass and cashed out. When he made money, he redeemed his shares.
For such internal circulation, the default value is based on market value.
This is very adept for a magician.
Of course, if the Lakers' market value skyrockets in the future and Magic has no money to redeem him, that's a different story.
Du Kang definitely can't afford 50 million US dollars now, but with Du Kang's current commercial value, his 10-year contract extension, and the gift contract of 6% of the Lakers shares given to him by Buss.
It is very easy for him to borrow 50 million US dollars from a bank.
He has many Wall Street classmates who are willing to lend money to high-quality customers like him.
"MAGIC, I agree to this. Since you have transferred the shares of the Lakers to me, are you interested in making a comeback with my team?"
"..."
The magician was stunned for a moment. This was the first time Du Kang invited the magician in person.
But after a moment of silence, the magician responded.
"I'll think about it again after you invite Michael Jordan to the Lakers."
Du Kang smiled.
"It's a deal."
"It's a deal."
…
…
The departure of Old Buss did not stop the internal fighting between Jim Shu and Aunt Jenny in the Lakers.
Even because of the 6% of shares that Buss gave to Du Kang when he left, the internal struggle within the Lakers became even more crazy.
The conflict between Du Kang and Mayfair Jackson is just a symptom of the internal struggle between the two forces.
Characterization has taken the entire NBA by storm.
Magic, Jordan, James, Wade, Durant and many other retired and active super players have expressed their opinions.
And what about the inside?
How terrifying must that be?
It was so frightening that the magician had to run away with the bucket and no longer dared to play.
A person with a delicate personality like the magician has completely lost the space to sit on the fence and be a neutral in this kind of life-and-death struggle. It can be seen that this struggle between Aunt Jenny and Jim Shu is really a zero-sum game.
Let's put it this way, Jim Shumo asked Du Kang and the Lakers players not to drink the water sent by the Lakers' internal employees when training at their own training facility in Los Angeles.
Jim Shu will organize a dedicated team to ensure the Lakers' logistics, without using the Lakers' own internal logistics team.
This is probably the first time in the history of the NBA that people are afraid that their home team's logistics will give their team laxatives.
After Phil Jackson and Magic Johnson spoke out one after another, a bunch of current and retired NBA stars spoke out.
Reporters, experts, and media are countless.
Most of them support Phil Jackson.
When it comes to psychological warfare, Phil Jackson is still very strong.
It's just that this time Phil Jackson pressed forward step by step while retreating.
Du Kang did not speak out this time.
The conflict between him and Phil Jackson has developed to this stage, and everything has been condensed into the game with the Thunder.
Phil Jackson needs to continue to speak out to influence the Lakers' preparations.
Du Kang, on the other hand, is the one who needs to be calm and prepared for battle.
In the game against the Nuggets on March 3, facing the beastly forwards trained by George Karl, in order to win, he played Howard and Kobe for 48 minutes.
There is no way. After the Nuggets' group of forwards rush forward, only Howard can stop the Lakers. In order for the Lakers' defense to not be overwhelmed by the Nuggets' group of terrifying orc forwards, Howard can only work hard.
Similarly, facing the Nuggets' group of orc forwards, it is difficult for the Lakers' average offensive players to attack. Only Kobe, Iverson, and Arab League can attack hard. Maizi Dukan dare not let him play for fear of being washed away.
Carter does have a knee problem now and cannot play alone for a long time. He can only be a shooter for the time being.
Nash's body is too weak. Although he is not afraid of being knocked down, it is not good to be injured.
The victory in this game against the Nuggets was really made possible by Howard, Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson.
After the game against the Nuggets, Du Kang vowed not to encounter the Nuggets in the playoffs.
The Lakers really can't handle it!
You can do everything you can to win one or two games. In a 7-game series, the beasts led by George Karl can really overwhelm the old, weak, sick and disabled Lakers.
Du Kang would rather meet the Spurs in the playoffs than the Nuggets.
Well, in the current Western Conference, no team has its nemesis. The Spurs, the number one player in the Western Conference, are afraid of the Grizzlies and Clippers. The Lakers are afraid of the Nuggets. There is nothing wrong with that.
Now that the Nuggets have survived, how should they play the Thunder in the next game?
Du Kang simulated a game with the Thunder using the method he used the last time he played against the Thunder.
Nash defends Westbrook.
Kobe is obsessed with Durant.
The final result...
122 to 105, the Lakers suffered a disastrous away defeat.
Westbrook made 15 of 29 shots, with 37 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, including 4 offensive rebounds. This game stunned the Lakers.
Or maybe it's a simulated God of War.
When Master West is a god, he is really the same god as Jordan.
Well, let’s not talk about ghosts for now.
In addition, Durant made 9 of 22 in this game, 26 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks.
The forward line of Durant and Ibaka held Howard to only 1 of 7, with 6 points, 16 rebounds and 6 fouls in the game. The statistics are very strange.
But there is no way, Perkins is really good, and Ibaka and Durant's defense is really fast, so Howard is not miserable.
As for Kobe, he made 15 of 45 shots in this game and scored 42 points, but it was useless.
"Well, I really can't do it..."
Yes, the Lakers' game against the Thunder is like an enhanced version of the Lakers' game against the Nuggets. This one is really unbeatable.
Master West and Durant are like two gods of war when they play against the Lakers.
As long as one of these two is normal and the other is super, the Lakers will be defeated miserably.
If you want to defeat the Thunder, you must use MP to smash a future.
What kind of future are we going to create?
Of course it’s Master Wei’s super ghost future!
In the last game against the Lakers, Master West scored 1,747, and the Lakers finally won with difficulty.
In other words, at the Lakers' home court, Westbrook was so awesome that the Lakers almost lost.
Of course, now that McGrady is here, Carter is here, and Iverson is here, the Lakers' strength has definitely strengthened.
However, he still has Kobe's growth tasks to take into account.
Overall, the Lakers don't seem to have strengthened.
However, he still has a trump card that is useless.
Item: Silver level single attribute ability card
Description: Edit any player attribute to 85.
Scope of use: Editable players who have a favorable opinion of you of 85 or above.
Du Kang had encountered this kind of ability card once before. A bronze-level random easter egg randomly increased Nash's steals to 80.
This time, the silver single-attribute ability card can be used to select players and attributes. It is definitely at the level of a minor god card.
"Ding, are you sure to increase Oden's speed attribute to 85? Oden has serious injury risks in his knees. After the speed is increased, the injury risks may be aggravated."
Well no.
Of course, the best card for improving abilities is to improve physical fitness and hidden attributes, followed by key offensive attributes, such as three-pointers.
But Oden doesn't have the skills to make mid-range shots or three-pointers. Just improving his attributes will definitely not be that good.
Give this card to Kobe?
Well, Kobe's attributes are too explosive and his improvement is limited.
Give wheat?
Maizi's technical attributes exploded, and he didn't dare to add physical attributes. Without clearing Maizi's permanent injuries first, adding physical attributes to Maizi would mean letting Maizi die.
To Iverson?
Iverson's speed burst is above 85, and the improvement is limited.
To Nash?
Nash's physical attributes have been increased, but his body durability has not kept up. His physical strength is exhausted too quickly, and his body wears out more seriously, which may aggravate injuries. As for the increased defensive attributes, Nash's steals from 80 to 85 will not have much impact.
Carter and Howard are both stuck at 79.
What about Chris Duhon and Antawn Jamison?
This is too luxurious.
Du Kang made his final selection. Only Yi Jianlian and Oden could choose this 85 ability card.
Oden's current physical problems are very serious, but the United Arab Emirates does not have such problems.
Because Ah Lian has awakened the advanced character pioneer, he can now develop his potential and improve his abilities on his own.
Although his ability has not improved recently, his close-range shooting has improved from 82 to 85, and his shooting IQ has also increased to 80. The improvement is still possible.
In the last game against the Thunder and the simulated game just now, the UAE failed to break through Ibaka's defense.
The key is that Arab League is not as fast as Ibaka. Ibaka's defense against Arab League is to guard against shots, and he is not afraid that Arab League will attack him.
Ibaka has been badly educated by Nowitzki over the years, and he has improved rapidly. Perhaps Ibaka is the player with the best experience in defending Nowitzki in the entire NBA.
Now the authentic Nowitzki is not easy to beat Ibaka. If the United Arab Emirates cannot have the threat of breakthrough in front of Ibaka, it will really be difficult to beat Ibaka.
If the UAE cannot suppress Ibaka, Ibaka and Durant's defense will be too great a threat to the Lakers.
If the United Arab Emirates can suppress Ibaka, even if they don't suppress Ibaka, they can be 50-50 with him, which will be a huge contribution to the offense of Lakers players such as Howard and Kobe.
"Strengthen the Arab League!"
Du Kang looked at Ah Lian's physical attributes.
Speed 75, acceleration 72, bounce 80, stamina 80.
"Ding, do you want to increase Yi Jianlian's acceleration attribute to 85?"
"Sure!"
"Ding, Yi Jianlian's acceleration attribute has been adjusted to 85, and the activated training method has been distributed. Please check it."
"Ding, do you want to spend 1000 MP to adjust Yi Jianlian's physical strength to 85?"
"confirm!"
"Ding, Yi Jianlian's physical strength attribute has been adjusted to 85, and the training methods have been distributed. Please check them."
"Ding, your player Yi Jianlian's ability has been adjusted to 87, and his potential has been adjusted to 90. Please check it carefully."
Looking at this series of system prompts, Du Kang's eyes were shining.
Especially when I saw the way to activate Ah Lian's burst to 85 and his physical strength to 85, my eyes were shining.
"It's just acupuncture. This is so simple. I can do it!"
In other words, before playing against the Thunder, the strengthening of the Arab League can be completed 100%.
"Speed up 85 Ah Lian!"
You may not know what it is like for a power forward to accelerate to 85.
Previously, Iverson's acceleration when using the Silver Durable Card was 85!
The average acceleration of NBA guards is 85!
"This is definitely an epic enhancement!"
I don't believe that Ibaka can catch Arab League this time!

Today’s first update.
(End of chapter)
