Chapter 366: Speculators
"Press conference?" In the past, Lamar could hide as far as he could, but this time he was unusual, "Okay, I'll go!"
At the press conference, Lamar had a gloomy face as soon as he came up, x
"Mr. Odom, what do you want to say most now after losing today's game that is important to you?"
A reporter stood up and pointed the finger at Lamar.
Lamar glanced at the reporter coldly, and lowered his head slightly: "Damn! Damn!"
Lamar said three damn things in a row, and the atmosphere immediately became a little strange, and people didn't know if this was a precursor to Lamar's anger. Did he mean the journalist when he said damn it, or did he say that the game was damn good.
After a pause, Lamar continued: "We all felt very upset about the loss. We had a good chance to win this game and Alan Houston's two two-and-one got us close to victory. It's a pity that we couldn't grasp the final lore. No way, though, it's a game! No one can guess what's going to happen in the next second. It's like before you are born, no one knows where there will be big news. I really value this fight because I was anxious to show some people what I was capable of and tell them that they made the wrong choice! It's just a pity that I lost the game and now someone can find an opportunity to attack me, but that's okay, I don't care. ”
Then another reporter stood up, and his question was still Lamar: "As a former hero of this city, being booed by the fans who once supported you when you came back to play here?" How do you feel?"
"Feelings?"
Lamar suddenly laughed, which made people feel very weird.
"I think that's just great, and I don't know if the people of Los Angeles hate me because I chose New York. But I just want to say that I don't owe the city anything, and I didn't want to leave here on the spot!
"I had a rookie contract and I won a championship for the team. Now I'm going to find my own way, it's my freedom, and no one can interfere with it. ”
"Do you mean to break up with the Lakers in the future?"
The reporter was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly threw out another question, and couldn't wait to lead Lamar into the ditch.
"Whatever you say, and don't play your little tricks in front of me, that's not clever at all!"
Lamar first sarcastically mocked the reporter before adding: "But I think it's time to say goodbye to the past, and I have to admit that I still have a lot of feelings for the Los Angeles Lakers." After all, I started my career here and won 2 championships. It's all something to remember, and I think it's hard for me to forget. It's just that I feel like I need to unload some baggage and get back on the road now, and as for the past, let him pass. ”
After saying that, Lamar stood up and walked straight out of the press conference, completely ignoring the reporters' repeated questions. He has already said everything that should be said, and there is no point in staying, he is not a humble gentleman, and he is not in the mood to sit aside as a supporting role if he loses the game.
Kobe Bryant looked at Lamar's distant back and couldn't help but sneer: "The general of the defeated army, why is he brave? Are you still pretending to be arrogant?"
Kobe Bryant knows that the attitude of Lakers fans towards Lamar today has made Lamar resentful, and maybe the next time they meet, he will have to settle the score. But this is exactly what he wants, and he has now proven that he is the most suitable for the Lakers and the future leader of the Lakers!
Saying goodbye to the past, Lamar saying such things has proved that every time he meets the Los Angeles Lakers in the future, the two can only end up in an endless end. Those memories will also be deliberately forgotten by him.
After playing the game against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Knicks flew back to New York overnight. The unpleasant road trip cut off an eleven-game winning streak since the start of the new season and deprived them of the chance to continue making history.
But in the eyes of the team's head coach Van Gundy, the trip to Los Angeles was not for nothing. At least he got a Lamar who would gradually become the true core of the team, a Lamar who knew how to combine playmaking and attack. It means even more to him than winning the game.
The next day, the sports pages of the major media focused on yesterday's game, and of course Kobe Bryant's super performance won him unanimous praise.
In addition, the most eye-catching thing is Lamar's three "damn it" at the beginning of the press conference and his sentence "It's time to say goodbye to the past"!
Instead of staying at the team's hotel, Lamar drove back to his villa in Marbury Beach during the night. What he needs now is not to be with the team to summarize the gains and losses in that game that has ended, but to be with his family and use love to soothe his wounded heart.
Because it was an away game, Vanessa didn't travel to Los Angeles with the team, and she watched the game on television. She was also very disappointed with the final result. Lamar has been very good and he has worked hard to put the rebuilt team together. It's just a pity that he met a Kobe Bryant possessed by the god of war today.
When Lamar got home, it was late at night, and Vanessa was still sitting in the living room on the first floor, waiting, feeling that what Lamar needed most now was her comfort. As Lamar's girlfriend, she should also help Lamar heal the pain caused by the loss at this time.
"Vanessa!" Lamar was stunned for a moment when he saw Vanessa, then stepped forward and hugged her, and then asked, "Haven't you rested at this late?"
Vanessa silently walked up to Lamar, tried her best to look very lost, and hugged him gently: "Lamar, I think it's a pity for today's game! You performed very well and deserved a victory, but the result is really a pity." ”
Lamar smiled, he already understood what Vanessa meant: "Vanessa, do you think I must be very disappointed now?"
"Of course, isn't it? Lost the game, and lost to the last person you want to lose!"
Regarding the grievances between Lamar and the Los Angeles Lakers, or more importantly, between Lamar and Kobe, Vanessa is very clear. So she knows very well that Lamar is very desperate to beat the Los Angeles Lakers, to be precise, it should be to defeat Kobe Bryant and prove herself.
"No!" Lamar took Vanessa in his arms again, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said with a smile, "I'm not disappointed, you must think it's weird." Actually, at the end of the game, I was very disappointed. You know I always hate failure, but soon I suddenly feel that I don't need to be disappointed at all, but feel relaxed. It's a truly amazing feeling, as if a heavy burden has been suddenly lifted. ”
"Easy?!" Vanessa looked at Lamar puzzled, "Why do you feel relaxed when you lose the game and lose to that person?"
"It's not about the game itself, it's that I know I'm going to face the Los Angeles Lakers with a relaxed mindset from now on. For me, the Los Angeles Lakers will be no different from other opponents in the future!" Lamar said and laughed, and laughed happily.
Lamar has always been weighed down by a very heavy baggage, and it has been like this since he entered the league!
Because it was the Los Angeles Lakers who gave him a chance, he desperately wanted to repay the team with a championship. After winning the championship, he felt that he didn't owe anything to the team. In order to pursue a higher goal, he chose to go to New York, but soon he was invaded by a strong sense of guilt. He felt that he had indeed betrayed the Los Angeles fans who supported him, and he never dared to face his old club.
But after today's fight, all the knots in Lamar's heart have been untied, and he doesn't need to play for anyone from now on. He had to live for himself, so that God gave him a chance to be born again.
Vanessa didn't know what was going on with her boyfriend, he just had to see that Lamar was fine, and it seemed that his previous gloomy personality had suddenly changed a lot and became a lot more cheerful.
The New York Knicks lost to the Los Angeles Lakers, and the unbeaten myth since the start of the new season was shattered in an instant.
For a while, the media and experts who originally praised the Knicks changed the direction of the wind, and almost everyone thought that the loss of this game would be a turning point in the overall trend of the Knicks this season, and they will most likely be like the previous seasons, or even worse than the previous seasons, because the players who made great contributions to the pseudo-Knicks are now gone.
The reason why these people have such speculation is because in the past few years, the Knicks have also had a very good record after the start of the game, but often the loss of a key game will make them collapse instantly, so they feel that the Knicks will repeat the old things this season.
The next day, someone couldn't wait to jump out and challenge the Knicks, who had just been terminated. Throwing this challenge in front of the Knicks was none other than the No. 1 pick who had a little time with Lamar, the New Jersey Nets' second-year No. 1 pick, Kenyon Martin.
The big man has been indignant ever since he was judged by Lamar in the draft. Now he feels that his opportunity has come, and in his opinion, the morale of the Knicks, who just lost the game, must be very low right now. He certainly wouldn't mind rubbing a handful of salt in his opponent's wounds, and this was the perfect time for him to get his revenge.
