Los Angeles, City of Angels. Inside the Staples Center.
West, the general manager of the Laker, finished reading today's newspaper headlines. Zhang Long, who was on the board, used his ultimate skill, Heaven Hook. He was deeply moved.
"Hey, I'm not sure. Call the scouting director. The head of the marketing department. Head Coach Harris. Come to the stadium for a meeting."
Jerry West, the general manager of the Laker. He picked up the phone on his desk.
In 1995, Jerry West won the title of the best manager in the league. He had been working for the Los Angeles team for 20 years.
He did not seem to have seen the most dominant team in the league. His ambition could not be stopped. He could not limit himself to the existence of the team as a superpower. He wanted to dominate the league.
In the mid-to-late 1970s, after West's retirement, the Laker didn't recover. In 1976, West became the coach of the Laker and participated in the management's actions. The appearance of the Laker began to change.
Soon, the senior executives of the Laker team came to the conference room for a meeting.
Jerry West distributed the videotapes. Fast forward to the fourth verse: This rookie from the Dragon Country and the Celestial Dynasty had used the Heaven Hook technique. Revive the NBA."
After watching a game, the senior executives of the Laker team. Everyone fell silent.
The head coach, Silver Fox Harris, said,""West. This was just a competition. We don't know the stability of this player.”
"You know, in the NBA. There are a lot of players who break out in a game."
“OK。I used to be teammates with Kareem. I'm very familiar with his Heaven Hook technique."
"How about this? They had been eliminated by the rockets. Then, we, the management, might as well go. Let's watch the game at the Alamo Dome."
Jerry West had a serious expression. Looking at all the management, he said," Looking at a player's scoring performance is the best in the playoffs.”
"Because. The defense in the playoffs was very strong. The Spurs had Admiral David Robson.”
"If we were to say that this round of the series…Zhang Long's score can be stabilized at 30 points."
"I will call the boss and try to open the transfer market in July. Use a big contract to poach him over."
Just like that, West made a decision. He personally brought the management of the Los Angeles Clippers to the Alamo Dome.
Before 1999, the Spurs didn't have a dedicated home stadium. They lived in the Alamo Dome, a multi-purpose stadium.
This stadium could accommodate 65,000 spectators. Its main use was football.
Two days later, the second round of the NBA playoffs began.
Zhang Long followed the team and took a plane to the Holy City.
He didn't start, but came on in the last two minutes of the first quarter.
As soon as he appeared, Zhang Long dribbled the ball and broke through. He took a step into the three-point line and used the Unbreakable Heavenly Hook.
Swoosh!
The orange basketball went into the net, and the four center forward David Robson went into the net. He could only stare.
Zhang Long transformed into the Encyclopedia and attacked with his back turned. He flipped and jumped. Stopping at medium distance. Master Retreat Bu.
Within 2 minutes, 7 out of 8 shots. Among them, 6 of 6 two-pointers and 1 of 2 three-pointers. He scored 15 points.
In the second quarter, Zhang Long led the substitutes. Playing against the Spurs 'reserve lineup.
Zhang Long began to make a three-point push from the outside. The feeling was hot. Four out of five three-pointers, and the high school player scored 12 points.
In just three minutes, Zhang Long had already scored 27 points. Highest score in the team.
The third quarter was in the second half, the last three minutes. Zhang Long went up again.
He had just dribbled past half of the court, and he had already used his unlimited shooting range. The Spurs stood in the middle of the field and made a three-pointer.
Kneel. Jump. Leaning back. Attack!
The super high parabola accurately hit the basket.
Swoosh!
The score on the scoreboard changed. The Blazers were 83-65 with the Spurs.
38270 Spurs fans in the Alamo Stadium. They were completely stunned, and everyone kept quiet out of fear.
The entire stadium was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
West, the general manager of the Laker team, who was sitting in the front row of the audience, saw this scene with his own eyes. He stood up excitedly and waved his arms.""That's great! Zhang, you're indispensable for the Lakers."
On the defensive side, Zhang Long sat under the basket and protected the frame. He used his impregnable skills to block Admiral Robson's shots.
Zhang Long had seven blocked shots against General Robson.
It was as if he had transformed into a giant beast that guarded the Blazers 'inner line. As steady as a rock.
．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．
Just like that, this round of the series. Zhang Long's four matches, statistics: 41 points, 20 rebounding, 10 assists and 7 blocks. 39 points, 21 rebounding, 11 assists and 5 blocks. 46 points, 18 rebounding, 13 assists and 5 blocks. 47 points, 19 rebounding, 10 assists and 3 blocks.
He had an average of 39.8 points, 10.6 assists, 2.9 steals, and 5.8 blocks per game. Famous throughout America!
It also allowed the Blazers to sweep the Spurs 4- 0. It was the second time the team had made it to the Western Conference finals.
In the Western Conference finals, they would be facing " The Glove " Payton and " Rain Man " Shawn Kemp, the team led by the Seattle SuperSoundaries.
At this time, the Blazers 'big boss, Paul Allen. He also knew about this good news and was extremely excited. He personally went to Rose Garden Arena to find Zhang Long, who was practicing free throws.
"Zhang! You make me love you to death."
"How about this? Let's come out. Let's talk about the contract extension in advance."
Paul Allen loved basketball. That was why he came here personally.
The two of them walked out of the Rose Garden Arena and went to a Starbucks cafe near the arena.
"Alan. I received a call from the general manager of the Los Angeles Laker, Jerry West."
"He invited me very sincerely."
Zhang Long had only finished half of his sentence when he deliberately observed Paul Allen's expression.
Paul Allen suddenly became extremely excited. He stood up and slammed the table."Bastard! The Baz family actually brazenly poached my talent.”
"Zhang! How much do they pay you a year? I can double it!" Paul Allen was full of energy and could be said to be heroic."As long as you can lead the team and win the Western Conference finals.”
"I'll give you 20 million dollars a year!”
One had to know that his net worth was too high. It maintained more than 20 billion dollars all year round. The richest owner in the NBA.
He had once given Pippen, Second Master Pi, at the end of his career. His annual salary exceeded 18 million dollars.
A bright smile appeared on Zhang Long's face as he quickly replied,"“OK。No problem."
"Jerry West, the contract you gave me is: 94 million dollars for five years."
"Respected Boss. 20 million dollars a year. "I'm willing to sign a long-term contract for seven years." Zhang Long quickly stood up and expressed his attitude.
This era was the best era. There was no concept of a luxury tax.
The luxury tax first appeared during the CBA labor dispute in 1999. The idea of shrinking the season was to be implemented in the 01- 02 season.
