Chapter 181: Interviews from Chinese media
"I'm glad that there are some great guys on the team, Horace is the strongest bone on the inside, he's not old yet, he even ran as fast as me on the court today, I think he could play in Los Angeles for a few more seasons! Lamond and Harbour are both great pitchers, and with them on the perimeter we have a lot more offensive routines, and of course Chris, he's an underrated player, and we're all pretty sure his future is bright! And he's now fully integrated into the team and starting to contribute to the team, if Grant brings toughness to the team, then Chris brings wildness and passion, it's hard to get along with so many tricks when you're a guy blocking, and with him, it's definitely not less fun to play.

Seeing that Shaq didn't talk about Lamar and Kobe for a long time, the reporter couldn't help but mention a few characters that the reporter was not interested in, and couldn't help but prompt: "What about Lamar and Kobe?"
How do you know that Shaq actually laughed out loud when he heard it, and laughed playfully: "I knew that you wanted to ask these two guys, but you didn't want to make those two boys too proud at first." ”
"Is your relationship really as good as it seems?"
"Of course, they are all my brothers, we have a good relationship, although Kobe Bryant is a little boring, but he is very sincere, and he treats his friends without saying, as long as you are kind to him, he will return his sincerity to you, without any reservations. Lamar, everyone understands, except for basketball, it's an otaku, and the daughter is in control!"
The reporter felt that he was going crazy, and Shaq just didn't get to the point, so he decided to get straight to the point: "The three of you are all All-Stars now, I want to ask if you have reached any agreement on the issue of possession so far? Or are you all players who need to have the ball in your hands to wield your full strength, but you are on the court at the same time, what do you think about the future tactical issues?"
It's a cliché that seems to have existed since Lamar's first pre-season game, and there have been a lot of speculations, but no real answer has been given to the person involved.
Shaq also didn't want him to get his wish today: "I think Coach Phil Jackson will solve this problem, I don't have to worry about it at all, Lamar and Kobe Bryant are the same, both of them have a higher ball quotient than me!" We're all sure we can play well on the court and work together to win, and our next game is against the Houston Rockets, who have a big guy who is the envy of the rest of the league, Olajuwon, and Francis, who is getting better and better, and they're all star players, and I think it's only fitting to have them as opponents for me and Lamar Bryant. ”
The reporter had given up on the idea of getting a phrase out of Shaq's mouth and finally asked another question: "What do you think of your performance today?"
"I did a good job today, 41 points is not good, of course it is not bad, I just did what I should have done!" December 11, 2000
On this day, the Lakers flew to Texas in the United States on a special plane to challenge the Houston Rockets, one of the top three in Texas.
Phil Jackson has been laughing out loud when he's been sleeping lately, and this is the first time he's had such a good card in his hand since he left the Bulls, with all the guys on the team who were banned from last season's games being lifted, and almost all of the poor kids who were injured have returned from injury (except for Horry)!
The only headache for him is the problem of possession and the main attackers on the court has been perfectly solved, whether it is Shaq, Lamar or Kobe Bryant said that they will still put the interests of the team first as last season, and resolutely obey his arrangement, and the reassured Phil Jackson held an internal exchange meeting for the team the day after the game against New York.
Of course, he will still choose Shaq to play the position of center, although Anderson has great potential and has a relatively tacit understanding with Lamar, no one will let Shaq, the strongest center in the league, not use! Besides, the most indispensable thing on the Lakers' interior line is a player like Shaq, with him on the inside, the Lakers never have to worry about the basket being blown up by the opponent, and Shaq will use his big pot to entertain those guys who dare to enter the basket.
The position of big forward Lamar is not allowed, although Chris Anderson and Horace Grant are also good, they both have the strength to start, but now that the Lakers have Lamar, a perverted rookie, Phil Jackson has the luxury of using starters as substitutes!
Besides, Horace is not young, and physical fitness will be a problem, and Anderson's technique is a little rough now, and both of them have big flaws!
Anderson is a rookie after all, and now he is a little reckless when defending, Phil Jackson is willing to give him time to hone, I believe that playing next to Lamar, he will grow up quickly, of course, there is also a very important problem is that Anderson is a good friend of Lamar, and supporting Lamar is exactly his big plan all along.
The small forward is Ramon Murray, although this guy has no advantages other than that good three-point hand, but when Phil Jackson asked the team's uniform team to choose a trade partner, he asked for an outside three-point shooter, as long as he can be a good fixed-point turret and throw in two or three per game, I believe Phil Jackson will not say anything.
The shooting guard is naturally Kobe Bryant, who is a key figure in the future of Phil Jackson's team, with terrifying attacking power, which can definitely rank among the top three in the league, in addition to contributing 1.6 steals per game.
It's just that this guy's personality is a little too strong, and Kobe Bryant can block any opponent in the opposite position. But this guy will be stubborn from time to time, and start to solve the game alone, which is very similar to Jordan, but Kobe Bryant is not easy to communicate with Jordan! This is also a problem that Phil Jackson needs to focus on now.
The last is the point guard, Chauncy is actually a good point guard, Phil Jackson is more and more satisfied with Chauncey, this guy's ball quotient is really high!
Looking at the players on the bench who can play a long-term role, Ron Haber, Bryan Shaw, Horace Grant, Chris Anderson, Tyrone Lue are all bench bandits, he now really feels how happy it is to be strong!
Fei'er has always felt that her current triangle tactics are not perfect enough, and she has always hoped that they can be improved!
After thinking about it all night, I still don't have a clue!
Now the outside world's attention to the Lakers is also increasing with the Lakers' championship, unlike the previous reports on the Lakers who only reported on Shaq, Lamar and Kobe, now there are a lot of topical characters in this team!
Grant is old and strong, and he's getting more and more proud in a metropolis like Los Angeles, and there's now speculation about whether the old guy will have a second spring in the near future, or how long he can last on his current strong performance.
The last topic of conversation is Anderson, the new birdman who has been promoted to the new idol of fans, this guy is a big mouth no less than Lamar (Lamar shouted that he was wronged, he only had a big mouth during the game, and Anderson this guy was anytime and anywhere!), the difference is that Lamar will think about it in his head before he speaks, but Mr. Birdman doesn't think too much, he uses his mouth to pull his brain, and often only enters his brain to filter it after he says it.
There is never a shortage of news with these guys, but the most important question for the media right now is not this, but how strong will this team be when all the Lakers players are back on the team? Of course, there is also a theory that when the three stars are not compatible on the court, how much disaster will it bring to this team, and who will leave then?
What's the scariest thing? Of course, when this group of people twist into a rope and fight for the same goal on the field, how terrifying it will be.
Now more and more experts have begun to analyze the Lakers, and they are surprised to find that the current Lakers have put together a roster that is not weaker than the defending teams in history for their championship dreams. This season's NBA will definitely not be an era of division of the league, but will have the situation of the Bulls dynasty once again.
After the plane landed at the Houston airport, as soon as it came out of the security check, a large number of reporters were waiting at the back door to prepare for an interview, and Lamar actually showed a few Oriental faces in it, and he knew that he was from China without asking.
Since the Lakers scouts poached Chris Anderson from the CBA, China's enthusiasm for the NBA has instantly increased by a few percentage points.
In addition, Wang Zhizhi is also about to join the NBA, and Yao Ming, a student of the CBA Shanghai team who is known as a little giant, also revealed his intention to come to the NBA in an interview! Now Chinese fans are a little happy, and the sports media are also boiling! After all, there are finally Chinese players who are going to set foot on the NBA, the holy land of world basketball!
As soon as the Lakers came out, reporters flocked to block the exit, and all kinds of questions followed, mainly focusing on Shaq, asking him what kind of performance he would have and what his tactics would be.
Everyone is an old fritter, and the answer is nothing more than those few sentences, I believe that the head coach can solve it well, and I am looking forward to the team's cooperation, and we will make certain sacrifices for the interests of the team as a whole, such an answer is of course not satisfactory to the reporters.
Suddenly, a somewhat peculiar voice rang out, saying that it was only because the English he spoke was not so standard.
"Mr. Lamar, what do you think of your Chinese rookie Wang Zhizhi, who participated in the draft in the same year? ”
Lamar was stunned, followed the sound and looked over, saw that the question was an Oriental, and he knew that it was Chinese by looking at the "CCTV" symbol on the microphone he was holding in his hand. (To be continued.) )
