Odom's all-around can make the whole team very happy, after all, Derrick has been continuously improving himself under the temptation of money in recent years, and with the superb skills of the 76ers team doctor, his health has been good.

But Derrick is 33 years old this year after all, not all players are as durable as Duncan, plus before Yang Dongxu acquired the 76ers, Derek's injuries and physical indulgence, no matter how powerful Chinese medicine is, it can't make people rejuvenate.

So Derrick has done everything he can to play as efficiently as he is now, and can't ask for too much. In this way, finding a replacement for Derrick is on the agenda, and Odom will undoubtedly become the big gate for the 76ers in the future.

But Odom, who is full of talent and hard work, also has a problem, and his private life was fine before. Now that he is starting as the main force of the inside, Dederick has been a little inflated after starting.

Not only did he start hanging out in nightclubs, but he also had a tendency to smoke contraband, coupled with the fact that he was distracted from time to time in the arena, this worthless drunken and non-training Derek was also uneasy.

"It's really hard to control the private life of the players, after all, everyone has the right to choose. But the contraband item is definitely going to be the owner, once this thing is stained, even if it finally quits, the slightest temptation will slide into the abyss. So you can let him touch it in the first place. Yang Dongxu's face was very stern.

You must know that the 76ers already have the possibility of winning the championship, and in the case of Derrick's physical strength and inability to play the whole game, Odom is the pillar of the team's interior line, which is a very big blow to the 76ers if he is banned for smoking contraband or something.

"I'll talk to his agent myself and I'll talk to him about it. Buck's face turned serious.

He knows exactly what it means for the team to win the championship this year, which means that Iverson, who has grown up, and Odom and the boss are willing to spend money on other high-quality supporting characters, the team has the possibility of building a dynasty.

It's a great and sacred thing, and more importantly, it's about his salary, bonuses, and money for his future retirement, so he has to plug Odom's current unstable buttons.

"How is his attention?" Yang Dongxu turned his head to look at Wang Chengzhi.

Now that he has eyebrows, his distraction comes more from energy pressure. This is related to his childhood experience and family reasons.

His father, a disabled soldier, died when he was a child, and later his mother also had cancer. Then he went to his grandmother's house, and his aunt took over raising him.

His childhood was a wandering, and basketball became his best escape. So he has a deep sense of insecurity in his heart, and during this time we are working with some authoritative psychologists in the United States to develop a treatment plan for him. Wang Chengzhi said.

Odom, who is absolutely focused without distraction, is definitely a superstar, and he is also the kind of superstar who is very well-rounded and has almost no shortcomings.

The distracted Odom can only reach the heights of superstardom and cannot become the absolute core and final player on the field. This distraction, in particular, can be very unsettling for the whole team, as you can't be sure if he's going to sleepwalk at a critical moment.

After learning about the team, Yang Dongxu got up and left. He came to the United States to have other things to do besides watching the draft, Yiting Technology is a little sad this year because of the Internet bubble and needs to re-plan, and at the same time, the movie "The Perfect Storm" with Hollywood will be released in two days.

So he didn't worry about coming over to take a look, and at the same time, in addition to this movie, "Survival on a Desert Island" is also being filmed, plus the previous cooperation "The Lord of the Rings" is also filming, these two years can be said to be the most critical two years for Haina Entertainment to enter Hollywood.

Therefore, in addition to Yang Dongxu taking the Internet industry as the focus of his attention, he also devoted a lot of energy to managing the affairs of Haina Company.

"Boss Derek is looking for you. As soon as he got out of the office, the assistant came over, and then Yang Dongxu saw Derek, a big man, coming over.

"What's the matter, Derek, don't think about resting more, I won't agree to this, at most I'll bring you a bottle of good wine made in China next time, but if you say that you can drink only one bottle, I'm afraid you'll be drunk and bankrupt." Yang Dongxu teased.

"Yes, you do have to be careful about that, I once drank all the wine in a bar in one night. Derek made a very powerful expression, and then laughed and stepped forward to hug Yang Dongxu.

Although his life after obeying the team management is not as easy as it used to be, Derek is happy with his current life. On the court, he not only played the best performance in recent years, although there was no salary increase last year, after all, the contract was not easy to change, but Yang Dongxu, the boss, generously gave a lot of bonuses.

Coupled with the fact that some of the investments he made with his good friend Dave Bean are now profitable, his assets are starting to rise steadily. Derek had already begun to anticipate that when he retired, he would buy a yacht and party every day, and live a life of drunken dreams.

And whenever he thinks of some of the appearance fees that he likes girls need, and even his eyes are now higher from the nightclub girl to the Hollywood actress, these are the sources of his strength every time he can't continue training, or he is tired on the field.

He had already planned for himself to retire in a few years, when he was not yet forty years old, when he was in the prime of life, and he could do whatever he wanted with a lot of money in his hand.

"Is there anything wrong?" Yang Dongxu and Derek asked.

He is very satisfied with Derrick's performance in recent years, the team can achieve such good results is of course related to Iverson's growth, but the role of other players is not small, after all, basketball is a game of five people, not one person.

Derek gestured to the tactical conference room next to him with his eyes, and Yang Dongxu walked in and closed the door.

"Boss, I want to talk to you about Lamar. Derek began.

"You say. Yang Dongxu nodded.

After Odom entered the team, it was clear that he was playing for the power forward position because of his old age and lack of physical strength, and he was also very careful to teach Odom some interior skills. Odom's ability to improve so much last season is directly related to Derek's careful teaching.

"I want to tell you to give Lamar more time and he's going to amaze you. And then there's ...... Can you give Lamar a little more affection and not be as tough as he was on me?" Derek began.

"Oh?" Yang Dongxu glanced at Derek in surprise, not to mention that when he talked about Odom in the conference room just now, he really thought that if Odom disobeyed the discipline, he was ready to take coercive measures and directly let him be a cold bench in the team.

Anyway, there are still two years left on the rookie contract, so he doesn't believe that Odom will be on the bench for two years, and when the contract expires, someone will spend money to buy a player who hasn't played for two years.

"Yes, Lamar is actually quite fragile inside, and this has something to do with some of his experiences as a child. Derek began.

"I know that, someone in the office just told me that you continue. ”

"Actually, with Lamar's physicality, he can play wilder and irritable everything, but he plays a bit softly and is easy to be bullied when there is conflict on the court.

This has a lot to do with his low self-esteem when he was a child, you should understand that a child is always sent back and forth, even if the elders are very good to him, but the kind of children from the same family, as well as the pressure from the outside world, will make him a little ......"

Derrick slowly told that it turns out that people who can make a name for themselves in the NBA, and who do not go bankrupt after retiring, but live a more and more nourishing life, except for some luck, this person's IQ and EQ are not too bad.

So Derrick's words made Yang Dongxu fall into deep thought, thinking back to Odom's professional game, it is true that there is no domineering that a big center should have, and even Duncan, who is known as the Stone Buddha, does not look at it or laugh, and does not say any nonsense, but will violently dunk to teach those players who violate themselves a lesson.

But Odom ...... Well, most of the footage is of the other player holding his hands up and backing away when he slaps him in the face. Although he is not an absolute gentleman, his style of playing as a big center is indeed a bit soft.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Yang Dongxu asked after half a ring.

'Give him a sense of security, Lamar is very insecure. So the team needs to give him a sense of security and make him understand that even if he makes any mistakes, as long as he can correct them, the team will tolerate him like a father. Instead of more accusations, it makes him even more inferior and afraid to speak. ”

"Are you sure that giving him more tolerance will definitely be able to return the reward, instead of making him more indulgent?" Yang Dongxu frowned.

Tolerance can indeed make a person let go of a lot of caution and have a sense of security, but it can also make people feel that they can do whatever they want, which is undoubtedly a double-edged sword.

"No, absolutely not. Derek raised his hands and said with some excitement: "Lamar is not that kind of person, he may have made some mistakes before because of his young age.

But a child who grew up without parents in the parents of relatives did not become a street gangster, a criminal. This proves that he still has a lot of self-control and knows what he wants. As long as you don't put too much pressure on him, he will get rid of those bad things, and those things are just the way he chooses to escape because of his low self-esteem. ”

"Well, Derek, I think you have a point. I can choose the advice you give to be a little more personal to Lamar.

But you also have to understand one thing: the NBA is a business league, as the owner of the team, I can give a better life to the players who work hard, but for those who make trouble and don't know how to repent......" Yang Dongxu didn't continue, but the stern eyes had already expressed everything.

"Yes, I understand the boss, I'll keep an eye on Lamar myself. Derek nodded earnestly.

Yang Dongxu stretched out his hand and patted Derek's shoulder: "Go to the team doctor to talk about these things, they are now looking for a psychiatrist to study Lamar's matter." In the future, I can bring him more for private activities, and I will also say hello to the coach to give him more trust and freedom on the court. ”
