Chapter 1203

A unique Gusu watertown-style wedding kicked off the prelude to Lamar and Vanessa's love path. After that, they stayed in the ancient city of Gusu for more than a week, and experienced the world-famous Gusu Garden, Pingjiang Road with Ming and Qing characteristics, and Shantang Street, which has a history of nearly 1,000 years.

Of course, in addition to these visual and spiritual enjoyment, Lamar also treated his stomach well. Since you have arrived in Suzhou, you can't do without letting your tongue feel the charm of Subang cuisine, squirrel cinnamon fish, honey sauce fire recipe, barangado soup, sweet and sour pork ribs, called flower chicken, every dish makes Lamar and others feel amazed.

It's a pity that Lamar, as a professional athlete, has to control his diet, so he obviously wants to let go of himself and eat a big meal, but he finally gives up for the sake of his career.

Next, the two of them had a taste of the local wedding in Mongolia and Yunnan in China, and then flew directly to Australia.

This time, Lamar and Vanessa did not choose to go to Europe, but chose a relatively less populated Oceania, and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia was the starting point of their trip to Oceania.

The Great Barrier Reef was chosen because Lamar and Vanessa decided to have one of the most admired underwater weddings in the world, and the fish-rich Great Barrier Reef was the natural choice for the many coral reefs with its abundance of coral reefs.

After that, the group moved to New Zealand.

New Zealand is a beautiful and sparsely populated environment, and Lamar naturally sees it as a retreat after his basketball career.

So this time in New Zealand, Lamar and Vanessa not only played, but also purchased a lot of pasture land in the South Island of New Zealand.

Of course, with the dilution of Google's shares, Lamar also has a lot of money in his hands, so it can be said that he is spending a lot of money when buying a ranch. If you want to make New Zealand the place where you will live after your career, then Lamar naturally wants to make the ranch his ideal Garden of Eden, pasture, farm, fish, and forest farm.

On October 2, 2005, the New York Knicks played their first game of the preseason against the Charlotte Bobcats.

Although the stars of both teams, Lamar and Emeka Okafor, are both absent due to personal reasons, there is still no shortage of highlights in this game. One of the most eye-catching is that before the game, the basketball god Qiao Lao gang leader was blown by the god, as if only he could save the league's 2005 rookie Raymond Filton, after all, everyone loves Filton.

In addition to the best rookie in the eyes of the Joe gang leader, the Bobcats are out with the exception of Okafor and Blazek due to injury. Raymond Felton, Gerard Wallace and other star players all traveled to New York with the team.

While all pundits agree that they are still far from the playoffs this season, there is no denying that they are indeed the team that is most actively preparing this summer.

In comparison, the starlight on the Knicks' side is much dimmer.

In addition to Lamar, who is sure to recuperate for a while and doesn't know where he is at the moment, Samuel Dampoter, Alonzo Mourning, Taysha Amprins, Shaun Battier, Devon Wade, Payton (who just joined this summer), Billups, the main players of last season's team and the main bench are not on the Knicks' list.

So the Knicks are left with only Nee Hilario, who is bent on adapting to the rhythm of the court as soon as possible, with a bunch of benches, rookies and free agents who try out with the team.

However, the lack of star players has not dampened the enthusiasm of the New York fans, who successfully swept their opponents again last season to defend their titles, and the strength of the team has made them look forward to creating a dynasty. All fans are convinced that when Lamar and other key players return to the team, their team will still be the most competitive in the league.

Although it was a preseason game, New York fans who hadn't experienced the charm of basketball for nearly three months still filled the Madison Square Garden arena, and even had a hard time getting a ticket.

With such a hot ball market, it is no wonder that the owners of other teams are jealous, even the Los Angeles Lakers, who are regarded as super giants, cannot be compared.

In the Knicks' locker room, Hilario was working hard to mobilize before the game, and Coach K sitting next to him obviously seemed a little absent-minded, obviously lacking interest in coaching such a game.

"Listen, rookies! here, right here, the great Madison Square Garden arena, this is going to be the stage for you to step into the league, and you should be proud of that! Because everyone who plays on this course is a real man, a fearless fighter, and today is your chance to show yourself. Use your on-field performance to tell the management of those sons of bitch, bastards, that you have what it takes to stay and fight for the glory of the city. ”

Probably too forgetful, Hilario's speech was a little incoherent, and he opened his mouth to talk nonsense. He forgot that although Coach K didn't care about the outcome of the game, he still had a small identity, which was the vice president of the team.

Broadly speaking, Coach K is also a member of the team's management.

was scolded as "raised by a son of a bitch!", Coach K couldn't talk back, and rolled his eyes in frustration.

Hilario, who had already fallen into a frenzy, did not notice this, and his speech continued: "Rookies, you have to remember! This league is not as glamorous as you think, there will be no one here to welcome you with flowers and applause, you will only get humiliation for the time being! This is not only your opponent, but also the fans in New York." They don't care if you're wearing a jersey, they care if you do something to the team!"

"If you want to win applause, praise, money, power, and beauty, you sons of bitches must wake up Lao Tzu and show your 100% strength! ”

When the players were excited by Hilario's words and their brains were a little hot, the door of the locker room was suddenly pushed open, and a person walked in while applauding.

"That's a good point!"

Hilario was furious when he was interrupted, but when he saw who was coming, he was stunned.

"Lamar!" Sean Battier couldn't believe his eyes.

In the imagination of Brazilians, Lamar should still be in some corner of the world now, kissing me with Vanessa, and I enjoy the sweetness of the two. But the facts are in front of him, and the more than three months of vacation obviously made Lamar idle.

"Damn! Lamar, why are you here?"

Lamar looked left and right, and all but Jamal Nelson and Trevo Ariza were unfamiliar faces. The rookies and free agents looked at him with reverence.

"It seems like I was a player in this team before I announced my retirement, so it's not surprising that I'm here!"

"Come on, Lamar!" Hilario shook his hand in frustration: "I'm just getting into the groove, you shouldn't have been showing up so early! ”

Lamar has never seen Hilario in such an embarrassing moment, and the current Brazilian really makes Lamar feel a little different.

So Lamar looked at Hilario and said to him in a teasing tone: "Okay, I'll leave immediately, and you can continue your speech." Actually, I'm just here to say hello to you, and I'll be a quiet spectator for the rest of the time. ”

"I hope so!"

Hilario knows Lamar's character very well, so he won't believe Lamar's words.

Looking at the back of Lamar and Coach K leaving, the Brazilian muttered a word and continued with his pre-war mobilization, but unfortunately now his teammates' attention is clearly not on this.

"Hey! Lamar!" Jamal Nelson ignored the Brazilian's mobilization and instead turned and chased him out of the locker room.

In one summer, the little fat man looked much stronger, and his original loose little belly was gone.

Lamar still remembers playing against the Magic in his previous life, and he could often see Nelson attacking the interior against defenders, which shows that his strength is absolutely not lost to others.

"I wish the regular season had started sooner, I can't wait to play with you, not for that foul-mouthed brute. ”

"You'd better be quiet, you damn fatty, or I'll bury you in the ground. "Nelson said it so loudly that it was naturally heard by the Brazilians. Known as a barbarian, Hilario was of course very upset and yelled in anger.

"I hope you can do that. Not to be outdone, Nelson yelled in the direction of the locker room: "Then I won't have to listen to your nagging anymore, and it's still that dirty nag." ”

Ignoring the quarrel between the two, Lamar and Coach K walked to the head coach's office together: "Coach, you've worked hard for this time!"

Over the past few seasons, Lamar, who has experienced it firsthand, naturally knows the hardships and tediousness of the team's offseason work. In addition, this season without the participation of Lamar, the golden eye, the elective work is much heavier than in previous years. (Originally, it was enough to look at a few rookies recommended by Lamar, but now in order not to miss out on the possible missing gems, it is necessary to look at all the rookies outside of the lotto.) )

You must know that Coach K never had to be involved in these things when he was in the NCAA, but fortunately, Coach K has experience with the national team, otherwise he would have to be driven crazy by these trivial matters.

Coach K's coaching ability is definitely one of the best in the league, but unfortunately his vision is far behind.

Coach K also took a fancy to a lot of seedlings before the draft, and specially asked Morey to send someone to investigate it. Darrell Morey naturally attaches great importance to Coach K's opinion, and also selected the Knicks' rookie this year according to Coach K's wishes. 2k reading web
