The Coach Zen Barbatrucco landed in nba2k12, towards El Segundo, Lakers headquarter. The team was dismantled: Lamar Odom went to the Dallas Mavericks, Shannon Brown was traded to the Phoenix Suns, the new players Josh McRoberts, Troy Murphy and Jason Kapono not convince me enough. I lift the handset of my office, doing a round of phone calls: i send McRoberts, Kapono and the L.A. first draft choice '13 to the Utah Jazz in change for rookie Alec Burks, twelfth 2011 draft choice. I sign the free agent Rasheed Wallace, returns to the field at 37, after two seasons in slippers: he not played an official game since 2010...
We will tackle the first season of nba 2k12 with Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, World Peace, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum in the starting five position and SteveBlake, Alec Burks, Matt Barnes, Devin Ebanks, Troy Murphy, Rasheed Wallace and Andrew Goudelock on the bench.

1.That's it? Coach, they will destroy you!
"The challenge is made. For the first time in the last 25 seasons I’m at the helm of a team that will only struggle to secure a spot in the playoffs. Let's see what we can do. "
2. Rasheed Wallace?!?
"Thirty-seven years, has not played for two seasons, but he gave me his willingness to return and I sign him for a minimum of 473K from free agents with a decadal that we probably extend throughout the season. Sheed bring experience, defense, toughness. Injuries? We run this risk.
3. And Alec Burks?
"He was my pupil. No more Shannon Brown we needed a young and energetic change for Kobe. He's a rookie with only one year of college behind and has the typical characteristics of the case: athletic, offensive instinct, attacks the iron, fastbreak and also with rebounding ability. In contrast lacks technique, poor percentage from long range and still have to build him defensively. But he's only 20 years and can still evolve in any direction. "

4. Coach, will be a miracle if you pass the first round!
"Before we think qualify for the playoffs, is not so obvious ... We're in a whole new world, much harder and more competitive where the factor of age and injuries has increased. Fisher, Bryant , Metta, Bynum (young but "injured man walking") and "Sheed" Wallace in every game walk on the wire. We will be like an old wounded whale in a sea infested with young and ravenous sharks "

"We divide the season into small goals. Win at least six of the top ten games is the first. Being no further down the fifth spot in the West at the All Star Weekend is the second. Qualify for the playoffs is the third. Then once arrived at the "Big Dance" of the Top 16… let's dance the best we can! Win the title? It’s the only thing that matters when you coach the Lakers, but getting to the Western Conference Semifinals until the end, it would be a good goal. One word must accompany us for the entire season: Devotion. To the Triangle and to the sacred golden armor of the Lakers'!
