Jerry West's job of persuading Miller to be very tough.
He has been eyeing Miller almost since the Christmas fight, and has taken several planes to Milwaukee, wanting to have a good talk with Miller.
The reason why I didn't go to the Pacers' manager.
It's because West knows that, with Miller's current status in Indiana, if he doesn't want to leave, no one dares to do anything about him.
And if he really wants to leave, the team will definitely try to make it happen!
This is the blessing of perseverance!
From the Christmas game to the All-Star Game in mid-February, West went to Indiana five times in about 50 days, almost once a week.
The first four times, he failed to see Miller, a cold-blooded assassin who had the stubbornness not to lose to his 3-point accuracy.
Miller was reluctant to leave Indiana, nor did he accept any offers and so-called chats.
It was not until the fifth time that West's sincerity finally moved the shooter and agreed that West would go in and have a chat with him.
The two chatted at Miller's house from morning until dark, and the whole recruiting process lasted almost 10 hours!
No one knows what the two of them were talking about during those 10 hours!
No one knows what exactly West used to impress Miller.
It is known that after returning to 613 Los Angeles, West met Scott Pippen for the first time.
The two also had a lot of conflict in the office.
Not long after Pippen stormed out of the office, the league announced the chain deal!
When the deal was finally announced and the dust settled, West nearly collapsed in his office and let out a long sigh of relief.
For Miller's arrival, he really tried his best.
Using all the means at his disposal, even violating his own principles, he sent Pippen to Canada, which he was very reluctant to go to.
In addition to Miller, West has also come into contact with many people, such as Milwaukee's Ray Allen. It's a pity that the Milwaukee killed West and asked West to exchange Kobe. Sturt hung up the phone directly.
And the five visits to Reggie Miller have made the Lakers' meritorious work suffering from the rush.
After finishing all this, West was as tired as he was 5 years old. He lay down on his chair with his eyes closed and muttered to himself:
"I tried my best, the rest is up to you."
The reason why the Lakers and West decided to trade another offensive player with strong offense and defense.
It is because West and Phil Jackson had a very in-depth chat and decided to see something.
That is trying to suppress the Celtics' firepower on the defensive end and guard Lin Long on the defensive end, which is impossible!
With any defensive resources and defensive strength, it is impossible to really contain Lin Long.
Under this line of thinking, West and Phil Jackson decided that since we can't hold the Celtics' firepower, let them also can't protect us!
Attack on offense!
Extinguish the flames with flames!
Only by continuing to increase his firepower and offensive ability can he not be swept away again in the decisive battle with the Celtics.
In this case, Pippen, the only one who is not good at offense and only good at organization and defense among the four superstars, became a victim.
He was sent to the bitter cold of Vancouver in exchange for draft rights.
And the Pacers, although they traded their star and the soul of the team!
But with a total of 4 first-round picks, in this deal, they gave up the present and got the future.
The team can officially announce that it will give up the championship, and instead cultivate the outstanding Jaylen Rose, enter a new reconstruction cycle, and wait for the Celtics to collapse before starting their championship road.
From the team to Miller himself, in fact, this is a pretty good ending.
A decent breakup is better than being forced to stay together for the sake of one breath.
After the Lakers acquired Miller, the entire league was shocked by the offensive talent in their roster.
Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe and Malone all have the strength to average more than 25 points per game!
Miller is one of the most terrifying shooters in the league. Even if he shoots 0 for 10, no one dares to let him open as long as he stands outside the 3-point line.
What's even more frightening is that the attacking areas of these four people do not overlap at all. Shaquille O'Neal kills the basket, Malone dominates the mid-range, Miller kills from 3-point line, and Kobe sweeps the court to check for deficiencies.
Combined with Malone's screening ability and Miller's league-leading off-ball ability, no one would doubt that they would have ball possession and break-in problems!
Although Pippen becomes Miller, their defense will drop a whole notch, but their offense is enough to crush 28 teams in the league!
The only thing that can stand in their way is the Boston Celtics!
Most people believe that this pair of old enemies and the number one mortal enemy of the league will meet again in this year's finals!
In Boston, Bird knocked on the door of Auerbach's office, opened the door, and he saw Auerbach reading the newspaper leisurely, Bird said: "Teacher, you know that Reggie Miller has gone to Los Angeles. what?
"I know.
Auerbach looked at Bird with a smile, and said confidently: "So what? Do you think we will be inferior to them because of this?"
"No, of course not.
Bird also smiled and said, "I think we've won! They want to use the offense to beat us, and we'll use the offense to let them know who is the real king of the league! 99
"Then why are you here. Auerbach poured himself a glass of red wine.
But he didn't mean to give Bird a cup. He looked at Bird and suddenly laughed again:
"Are you afraid that I will dismantle your team, blindly reinforce it, and disrupt the team's chemistry?"
Although Bird's head immediately shook like a wavy drum.
But everyone could see his nervousness and insincere words. Obviously, Bird was once again seen through by Auerbach.
"You will be punished to clean my office for a week!" Auerbach raised his neck and drank the wine in one breath: "You actually think I don't understand football like you? Larry, let me be honest, you are A self-righteous idiot!
Bird only felt that he was covered in cold sweat, and at the same time regretted why he had to come here to make fun of himself.
How could Auerbach not understand the ball?.
