Of course, Lamar is only very rational about the fanaticism of the fans, and he knows very well that all the fans around the world have one thing in common, that is, when you are doing well, you are their hero, and when you are bad, they will pull you off the altar mercilessly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

What they're really loyal to is the team, not to one person in the team.

The only way to solidify your place in the hearts of the fans is to increase your stakes with constant victories and supreme accolades, and make yourself a true symbol of the city – just like Shaq did in Los Angeles.

As his fame grew, he naturally brought more benefits to Lamar, and first Nike also launched his third exclusive basketball shoe in a timely manner - the third generation of the King of War.

Then, under Vanessa's persuasion, Lamar also let go of his principle of not accepting endorsements for non-basketball-related products.

This made his agent, Falkelton, smile, as if a lot of money was flying towards him.

Razors, sportswear, mobile phones, cars, motorcycles, all kinds of merchandise endorsement contracts are slammed against Lamar like snowflakes, and the amount is bigger than the other!

Before, because of Lamar's seemingly very idiotic principle, many capitalists could only watch Nike make a lot of money on Lamar, but they could only stare at it from the side!

Faulkel, who was completely blinded by the green glow of the dollar, helped Lamar calculate an account, and if these endorsements followed, Lamar would be among the top 10 of the Forbes list of the richest people in sports without doing anything, and could surpass Tiger Woods, who has recently been in the limelight, to become the world's most valuable sports star.

Of course, Lamar is no matter how greedy for money he is, he can't really do it all, and after consulting Vanessa's opinion, he just chose the above five products and signed an endorsement contract. But even that brought Lamar nearly $28 million in revenue.

At the same time, Lamar's global influence is also growing. Although he had already made a name for himself when he was with the Los Angeles Lakers, there was still a Shaq there who always pressed on his head (Lamar would not admit that Kobe Bryant could put it on his head). No matter how big the team achieves, people will first habitually stare at Shaq before they will pay attention to him.

It's a different story now, he's the only king in the Knicks, and the other players are either young rookies or old guys. Although Davis has good strength, he is only a defensive warrior after all, and he has no star temperament, so such a player is not very popular!

On the plane, the Knicks' recent record has been red, and they have slashed their opponents one after another. As the soul of the team, Lamar's fame is also increasing day by day, and his global influence has reached the level of a superstar.

For a while, the media of various countries have turned their attention to the Knicks, a team that they have been habitually forgotten before. Every day, a large number of foreign journalists gather outside the team's training hall, and their target is naturally Lamar Odom, the world's most popular basketball star at the moment.

"It's annoying that these flies are sitting here every day like they're staring at carrion!"

Long way from the parking lot, Lamar saw a crowd of reporters with long guns and short cannons, among which not only European and American journalists, but also a few Oriental faces.

Vanessa, who was beside him, smiled slightly and said, "Lamar! I think you should try to deal with these people, and you shouldn't be as exclusive as you are now, after all, you people live on them! If you don't have these nasty guys, no matter how good you are at basketball, few people will know." ”

Although Vanessa was trying to persuade Lamar, she knew from her that she didn't have a good impression of reporters. You must know that the biggest reason for his and Koby's breakup is the false reports of unscrupulous reporters.

Lamar shrugged nonchalantly: "Forget it! I think I'd rather face an alien basketball team than get near these guys, who in my opinion are nothing but to peek into other people's private lives!"

The two of them were talking, not knowing that the sharp-eyed reporter saw that Lamar's car was parked in the open space not far from them, in fact, it was not because of the reporter's sharp eyes, the key was that Lamar's modified armored car was too eye-catching. The reporters, who had been waiting outside the Knicks' training gym for days, certainly knew that the silver luxury SUV armored car belonged to Lamar.

Seeing the reporters running towards him, Lamar instinctively wanted to reverse and escape,

"Don't look at me like that. Vanessa was not afraid of Lamar's angry glare, but laughed, "Since you can't hide, why don't you solve it all at once? Isn't this the principle you adhere to on the court? Most of these reporters say that the foreign media are sent, and if you can't complete the task, they will keep pestering you, and now this is a good opportunity to solve it, you don't want to be harassed by them every day, right?"

Lamar thought about it and could only reluctantly accept Vanessa's suggestion to open the sunroof of the SUV. In an instant, there was a cacophony of camera shutter fluctuations and the glow of the flash.

Luckily, Lamar and Vanessa both wore big sunglasses, otherwise they would have been dizzy.

This was followed by the question of various languages, and some of them turned their attention to this currently well-known beauty after spotting Vanessa sitting next to Lamar.

Lamar was consciously in his head, not even paying attention to listening to the strange questions. I don't know if the idiot actually asked him if he used to be above or below when he had sex with Vanessa? If it weren't for so many cameras, Lamar would have wanted to make a hole in that stupid head.

"Mr. Odom, you now have countless fans in China, and there are many young players who regard you as their idols, in the professional field, do you have anything to warn them?"

Journalists in China?

Lamar was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see several eastern faces standing crookedly from east to west surrounded by many European and American men, looking like they were in danger of being knocked down at any time.

Seeing Lamar looking over, the Oriental people looked very excited, and the voice of one of the small men was obviously trying to drown out the others around him.

"What is Mr. Lamar's assessment of Yao Ming, a Chinese star player who currently plays for the CBA Shanghai Oriental Sharks, among the opponents he has played against?"

Lamar smiled and said to the other reporter with the Basketball Weekly logo on the microphone, "You're all from China, right?"

"Yes!" the Chinese reporter looked very calm.

"After the training if you're interested. We can make an appointment, I'd like to be interviewed by you!"

After all, Lamar is still very clear about the development of China in the future, and Lamar, who aims to become a world-famous star, of course, you will not miss the opportunity to build a good relationship with the Chinese media!

Although Lamar doesn't know much about China's basketball environment, he still has 120,000 points of love for China through the memories of his previous life.

The reporters around Lamar's car couldn't believe their ears, and one by one they looked at the stunned Chinese reporters with jealous eyes, secretly saying that these guys were really lucky.

"What? Don't you have time?"

"No, no, no!" the Chinese reporter hurriedly said, "I have time!"

"Okay, you can come to me in the locker room when I'm done training," Lamar said, starting the car, "Gentlemen, I've got a game tonight, now I should go to training, and if you have any questions, you can bring them up at the press conference after the game." ”

"I ask for the same treatment, an exclusive interview with you!" a white reporter shouted.

"No!" Lamar coldly refused.

"Why not?" the white reporter said with some anger, "why can those Chinese be okay, we can't!"

"Yes, why can't we be treated the same?"

Other reporters followed suit.

Lamar looked at them with a sneer, pressed the horn hard, and only after the reporters were quiet for a while, did he say, "That's because Lao Tzu is happy!"

Vanessa obviously doesn't know much about Lamar's initiative to ask Chinese reporters to do an exclusive interview with her. In her view, although it is important to expand her influence overseas, the foundation of Lamar's career is still in the United States.

But Lamar has only given one official interview in the United States so far, and it was Lisa De Gan, whom Vanessa was very reluctant to remember.

As long as anyone with eyes can see that during the interview, Lisa Degan kept seducing Lamar with her surging **, which made Vanessa very unhappy. Although she hadn't dated Lamar at that time, she didn't want to even if it was a suspected old relationship.

Lamar has always given the impression that he is unapproachable, and even if he reluctantly accepts interviews with reporters, he always ends them without permission after a few sentences, and he has no awareness of being a public figure at all.

But this time, he actually took the initiative to ask a Chinese reporter to give him an exclusive interview, and Vanessa couldn't figure out what Lamar was paying attention to, even if she wanted to break her head.

Lamar didn't explain much to Vanessa either. He couldn't explain anything, could he tell Vanessa that he was reborn, that he knew how much potential the Chinese market had in the future?

Because there was still a game in the evening, Van Gundy arranged the training volume in the morning relatively easily, and just announced the end of the training after a simple warm-up.
