Rodman was able to stand in the NBA inside for so long with his not-sturdy body, and in addition to his fighting spirit and ruthlessness, he also had his essential trash talk and small movements.

Now Rodman has almost devoted his life to Horry. He wants to anger Horry and try to make Horry lose his mind and attack him, so that he can be sent off with Horry.

This behavior seems to be rather despicable, but as Jiang Dongbing said, this matter is actually part of the game.

Even Horry himself has done such things more than once in the future, such as when playing against the Suns, he deliberately knocked Nash away to anger the Suns. If he could fight and pull a cushion, he would make a lot of money.

The reason why the Suns failed to win the championship that season was definitely the biggest obstacle, so Horry is also the person that Suns fans hate the most.

...

In just a few minutes, Horry had a ferocious expression. No one could stand Rodman's crazy trash words and small movements, but he still tried his best to restrain himself.

After a few minutes, Horry couldn't bear it anymore. He was furious and could no longer control himself. He turned around and fought with Rodman.

Rodman is actually a ghostly spirit. If he really fights against Horry, he will definitely be able to press Horry on the floor and beat him up. But in order to win the referee's sympathy, or to make the referee not favoring the Lakers, Rodman took the initiative to take Horry's two punches...

After these two punches, Horry let out a breath, which was so good, but the head coach Zen master Jackson on the sidelines was so angry that he was crazy. He knew the purpose of Rodman's actions.

After all, Rodman was also his old disciple. How could the Zen master not see what Rodman wanted to do? As a result, the two fools Horry were fooled.

"Dududu!" The referee blew crazily, sending Horry and Rodman out one after another.

Since the Artest incident, the league has repeatedly refused to allow vicious fights on the court? Now Horry and Rodman are committing crimes against the will of the court? It would be strange if the referee does not punish them to appear.

"Huh..." Jiang Dongbing let out a long sigh. After he got rid of Horry? This game will become much easier.

After the "small episode"? The game continued, and Ac Green was taken to replace Horry.

The Grizzlies immediately took advantage of this time to create a climax that caused Lakers fans to collapse.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game? The Grizzlies narrowly won four points at the Lakers' home court and successfully defeated the Lakers with a big score of 4:2? They won the finals ticket again.

Jiang Dongbing breathed a sigh of relief? It was really not easy to win this round of series. If Rodman had not stood up and contributed himself, it would be hard to say the winner and lose in this game. If he lost? Then they would tie the score with the Lakers? This is definitely a scene that Jiang Dongbing was unhappy to see.

The Grizzlies players were extremely excited. After winning the Lakers, it means that they will win the championship again this year.

No matter which team in the Eastern Conference can advance to the finals, one thing is certain that they will definitely not be the opponent of the Grizzlies.

Don’t think of the Grizzlies playing against the Lakers? They played so hard, but that’s because the Lakers are too strong? You should know that if there are no Grizzlies, this Lakers are also a dynasty team.

It can be said that among the twenty-nine teams in the entire NBA league? The Grizzlies' unique existence, while the Lakers are the only existence under the Grizzlies.

Like those strong teams in the East? Are there any Jazz or Trail Blazers strong? It’s hard to say? Maybe they will be beaten when facing teams like Trail Blazers.

...

At the post-match press conference, the Lakers were naturally dissatisfied, believing that the Grizzlies stole the victory that originally belonged to them, and even the championship that originally belonged to them.

However, not many people pay attention to this kind of complaint from losers. Now fans have turned their attention to the East to see which team can advance and become the opponent of the Grizzlies' finals, or the stepping stone for the Grizzlies to win the championship.

"Jiang, are you busy?"

The next morning, Stewart walked into Jiang Dongbing's office.

"If you are not busy, you have finished the Western Conference Finals. What else can you do? These days should be the most leisurely days I have recently." Jiang Dongbing said with a smile.

"That's right, no matter who advances in the East, he will definitely not be our opponent anyway. There is really no need to make himself too tired."

"But now that the season is about to end, should we distract part of our attention from the draft?" Stewart asked tentatively.

When it comes to the draft, Jiang Dongbing couldn't help but smile. This 2000 draft is really hard to choose!

As the first draft in the 21st century, many people now have high expectations. After all, the new era and new atmosphere may appear in this draft.

But Jiang Dongbing knew very well that this year's draft was simply terrible.

It is considered a praise for the 2000 talent show, and it is completely the Little New Year in the Little New Year.

The No. 1 pick Kenyon Martin, although not many fans say he is a parallel player, in fact he is only one line away from the parallel player. If his performance is slightly worse, he may be included in the No. 1 pick.

His career average of 12.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, looks much better than the well-known parallel player Kwame Brown, but you should know that Kwame Brown has much less playing time than Martin. If the data of these two people are converted to 48 minutes, the gap is really not big.

The No. 1 pick is a semi-paralleled player, and the No. 1 pick is a well-known spring man, but only the advantage of jumping high. He is also a parallel person in other aspects. Tanhua Dalius Miles claims to be the wolf king Garnett II, but in the end he became a parallel person due to injury factors...

In the first draft, all the top three picks were parallel, and it was so sad that I went to my grandma's house.

If there are only high rankings, that's fine, but in the 2000 draft, there were no top talents in other rankings.

The only one who excels in his career is the future Deer King Michael Reed, and then Clifford, Turkish Tkoglu and Mike Miller.

In fact, if you want to say whether a draft is strong or not, the most intuitive thing is to see how many people have been selected for the All-Star in this draft. In the 2000 draft, only two people have been selected for the All-Star. No. 1 pick Martin and Reed, the Deer King, were selected once.

Compared with the golden generation in 1996, the 2000 draft is really humble. How many All-Stars were there in 1996? That would have to be dozens of times!

Kobe, Iverson, Nash and Ray Allen alone have been selected as the All-Star with nearly 50 players.

In such a bad year's draft, Jiang Dongbing felt that the only thing worth taking was Reed. Martin must not have to think about it. Even if Jiang Dongbing had the No. 1 pick in his hand, he would rather sell the No. 1 pick than choose Martin, because that was really a waste.

If you take Reed, there is actually no need for a good draft pick. After all, Reed was selected with the 43rd pick in the second round. The Grizzlies can easily get Reed this year.

However, although Reid's offense is excellent, his defense is not good. Even if he wins it, it is difficult to put it in the starting lineup. He can only stay on the bench as a surprise player who grabs points.

"Don't think too much about this year's draft. There are no players worth taking action." Jiang Dongbing smiled at Stewart.

Stewart couldn't help but show his disappointment. The Grizzlies' salary problem is very serious now. If Haysley is willing to spend money like the Trail Blazer boss Paul Allen, the salary is naturally not a big problem.

But now, Heasley does not have the financial resources of Paul Allen, and secondly, even if he has that financial resources, he is reluctant to let it go.

Since there is no way to give multiple players a large contract, the Grizzlies can only keep eating the benefits of rookie contracts. If they can't get the benefits of rookie contracts, it will be difficult for the Grizzlies to maintain their current dominance.

The series that just finished playing is very telling. If the Grizzlies do not maintain a strong lineup, they will not win the championship 100%.

"Jing, why don't we do some transactions and try to get some potential newcomers?" Stewart suggested.

Jiang Dongbing shook his head, "It's really difficult for us to trade new players with other teams now."

"When we propose a deal, the first thing they think of is not to take advantage of us, but to re-examine the newcomers we value. The final result is that they either stop selling or just start the price."

"In addition, most of the newcomers who have come out in the past two years have now emerged. There is no need to pick them up. It doesn't make sense for us to use newcomers outside of two years, because we have to sign a contract."

Stewart sighed. He knew that Jiang Dongbing was right. Now the Grizzlies' salary problem can only be seen one step at a time.

...

The Eastern Conference Finals were in full swing and quite intense.

The Pacers led by Bird have fought with the Knicks again, but this time the Pacers are even more lucky. Reggie Miller swept the sluggish playoffs last season. This time, he led the team to defeat the Knicks with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 44%, and got the ticket to advance to the finals.

Speaking of which, Ewing is quite embarrassing. When he was not on the court last season, the Knicks advanced to the finals. With him on the court this season, the Knicks actually lost the series.

Although he got the ticket to the finals, Bird and the Pacers were not particularly excited, mainly because they were able to recognize the reality very well.

The opponent is the Grizzlies. Even if this Grizzlies lacks soldiers, they can still defeat the powerful Lakers with a score of 4:2. The Pacers and the Lakers are still one level apart, so how can they be the Grizzlies' opponent?

However, Bird and Pacers are actually satisfied enough to get to this level this season, and after all, they have won the honor of the Eastern Conference championship.

...

The first game of the finals started at the Grizzlies at home. Just from the reactions of the fans on the scene, I know that not many people think there will be any suspense in this game.

The main reason is that the fans are not excited or nervous at all, as if they are watching the regular season.

When the referee whistle blowing game ended, the Grizzlies won 17 points at home, and there was no upswing in the whole game. It was the Grizzlies who were pressing against the Pacers.

Reggie Miller is naturally the special care object of the Grizzlies' outside iron gate. Jackson and Kirirenko took turns to exert the most tight defense on him, and even Billups came to harass him from time to time.

With such a "sovereign" treatment, Miller was in a desperate situation throughout the game, so the offensive efficiency naturally could not be much better.

Teams like the Pacers, as long as they strangle Miller, they will actually win half of the game. Teams like the Lakers are difficult to deal with because of their output points, O'Neal and Kobe. Even if these two are restricted, they also have a stable offensive point of Glenn Rice, which means that the Grizzlies' defense is too strong, and it is difficult for other teams to limit these three players at the same time.

The next three games are basically a replica of the first game. The Pacers can also give it a try, but their strength is there, and there is an extremely huge gap between them and the Grizzlies, and they are finally swept out by the Grizzlies.

Since then, the Grizzlies have lived up to expectations and won the second championship trophy in team history. As a new team that has just been established, the achievements of the Grizzlies have definitely made other teams jealous.

But there was nothing we could do. As long as Jiang Dongbing was with the Grizzlies for one day, they could only watch the rise of the Grizzlies.

Jackson finally got his first FMVP in his career with averaging 26 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1 block.

Since then, Jackson has reached the peak of his life in a true sense. This is just the second season of his career. As a result, he has won two regular season MVPs and one FMVP. Not to mention the top 50 superstars in history, at least there is no problem in entering the Hall of Fame.

Jackson cried with joy when he held the cup. I'm afraid he never dreamed that he could achieve such brilliant achievements as he is today.

Jiang Dongbing was in a calm mood. After all, he had won the championship last season, and Jiang Dongbing was actually not very excited to win the championship last season. This was originally expected. If such a strong lineup cannot win the championship, Jiang Dongbing himself would not be able to accept it.

...

The next few days were the champion parade, and Jiang Dongbing didn't join in the fun either. He just showed his face and started to work hard.

Although this year's draft is a super young year, Jiang Dongbing still wants to sort out the Grizzlies' lineup now and reduce the following salary pressure as much as possible.

As a result, before Jiang Dongbing took action, Spurs head coach Popovich called, thinking that he could quickly finalize the deal about Ginobili with Jiang Dongbing.

Because of Artest's absence, although Ginobili did not start, his playing time must have increased a lot. Ginobili in the playoffs left a deep impression on people, and Popovich was impatient to accept this powerful outside.
