It is said that because of the loss, no one under the Lakers coach Phil Jackson attended the press conference. After waiting for 10 minutes, the reporters waited for Jim and Kupchak, two temporary rescuers. player.

"I suggest that the league conduct a physical examination for the referees every year to determine which referees cannot make correct judgments due to substandard vision. To be honest, such referee behavior will damage the fair image of the league. I suggest that David Mr. Stern is seriously considering my proposal, and I can help him contact the appropriate eye hospital." Jim dropped the bomb in the first sentence, and the guns were aimed directly at the referee of this game.

This is exactly what the reporter wanted to hear. After being fined once at the beginning of the season, Jim has always regarded the media as a scourge and avoided it. Obviously, today's loss completely annoyed him. Spit out the grievances in your heart.

"Thanks to our videographer, he provided us with this material with high work efficiency, everyone please look at the screen."

The screen showed that Malik Rose blocked the attack by hitting Artest on the wrist with a two-handed push-down motion.But the referee did not call a foul.

"Referee Bill Kennedy may have just entered the league not long ago, and he has some problems with the foul scale. This is normal. We can see that Malik Rose's rough foul was a successful defense in the eyes of referee Kennedy. If so , then I won't be as angry as I am now. Next one." Jim signaled the videographer to play the next clip.

Ginobili broke through for a layup and was blocked by Ben Wallace with a one-handed cap.

"Pause. Well, we can clearly see that Ben didn't touch any body part of Manu Ginobili, it was a clean block, but the next second, Ben got his first Three fouls, before that, he only played about 5 minutes in total? I would like to ask Mr. Bill Kennedy, why are there different penalties for two different teams? If the home and away teams have a slight tendency If sex is normal, I think we are the home team. If this is the case, I have to seriously consider how to ensure the personal safety of the players in the away game to San Antonio. It seems that in the eyes of Mr. Kennedy and others, there is no Actions that cause serious personal injury to Lakers players are not considered fouls. This is all I want to say, thank you, and farewell!" After Jim finished speaking, he left a group of reporters who hadn't reacted yet, and left with Kupchak The press conference site.

The next day, the league issued a ticket, and Los Angeles Lakers vice president Jim Buss was fined $3 for criticizing and criticizing the work of referees.

Neither the Kings nor the Mavericks are strong defensive teams. In the playoffs, without tough defense, it is difficult to win a series in evenly matched games. To gnaw the hard bone of the Spurs is one of the champions. An important step on the way.

"Okay guys, I've scolded the referee and paid the fine for you, now what I need you to do is bring the damn victory back from damn San Antonio, and we're going to celebrate the promotion at home!" Before boarding the chartered flight to San Antonio, Jim gathered the team together for a final cheer.

The players laughed, high-fived Jim one by one, and then boarded the plane.

"Sir, aren't you going to San Antonio?" Stevens was the last one to high-five Jim, only to find that Jim didn't mean to get on the plane.

"I don't want to be sitting in the middle of a bunch of Spurs fans who hate me so much, that's asking for trouble. Good luck Brad!" Jim waved for Stevens to get on the plane.

After seeing off the team, Jim immediately returned to the arena. During these four days, rookie training will be arranged. Kupchak and Laughlin are like ants on a hot pot, and they are overwhelmed.

"Boss, I have sent the trial training invitations to the target players according to your plan." As soon as Jim returned to the office, Laughlin came in to report to work.

"Well, what's the response?" Jim raised his eyebrows, and he fiddled with the tryout invites he sent to the players.

"When we called back and asked if they had any team plans to read the attachment, everyone said yes, but when we mentioned that there was a $100 sticky on the last page, less than half of them found out. One thing." Laughlin reported truthfully, it seemed that she was not satisfied with this ratio, two thousand dollars was not a small sum.

"Okay, Bonnie, we have a lot of candidates this year. I must choose the rookie who is most suitable for the team. The first rule is that the character must pass the test. Tell me, who has failed our initial test?" Jim said. Pull out a form filled with draft prospects, ready to record.

"Josh Howard, out of Wake Forest, projected late in the first round, I think he can be a good wing scorer. But he seems to be dismissive of our plan."

Jim sighed and crossed Josh Howard's name off the form.

"Maurice Williams, expected to be selected from the end of the first round to the second round, a combo guard with strong scoring ability, he also did not take our plan seriously."

Williams' name was also crossed out.

With Laughlin's report, more and more names were crossed off the list.

"It seems that our plan is not very popular." Laughlin finally finished the blacklist, and Jim looked at the rookie list with only a few people left, and sighed.

"Don't be discouraged, boss, I also received a reply letter." Laughlin raised the document in his hand.

"Reply?" Jim couldn't help being a little curious.

"'... I am very grateful for the love of your team, I hope I can become a member of the Lakers, but I can't accept this $100 at present, and it can become my bonus when I win the championship on behalf of the team. 'Quickly ask me who this person is." Laughlin smiled after reading the letter.

"Okay, who is this person?"

"David West, senior from Xavier University, power forward, projected draft pick, mid-first round."

Jim circled West's name viciously.

The third game between the Lakers and the Spurs was held at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.

The 18418 Spurs fans present hope that the home team, which has home court advantage, can take advantage of the victory and beat the Lakers in one fell swoop.

However, the truth is always cruel.

Kobe continued to attack the Spurs' defense, scoring 39 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, while Garnett contributed 21 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists.Even Ben Wallace, who was not loaded, scored a double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds. The Lakers were all soldiers, and all five starters scored in double figures. They defeated the Spurs 5-110 and regained their home court advantage.

　What restricts the development of Josh Howard is his thorny personality, drug use, conflicts with teammates, swearing when singing the national anthem, etc...
