Back in their apartment, Lisa and Nini were already resting. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoLamar turned on the TV, and the host on the screen was just showing tonight's preseason results.

"The Lakers defeated the attacking Washington Wizards in all directions tonight, and finally beat the opponent by 48 points! Shaq played 22 minutes in this game, cutting 18 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks, and rookie Lamar Odom performed well, shooting 15 of 20 free throws, 8 of 10 from the field, cutting 40 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists, 4 steals and 5 blocks (Howard cried and fainted in the toilet that night)! The new signings Murray and Chauncey also performed well, Murray scored 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting, Chauncey scored 13 points, 6 assists and 3 steals on 4-of-6 shooting!

For the Wizards, Strickland had 18 points and 7 assists, Richmond had 26 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Thorpe had 8 points and 8 rebounds, and Howard, who had an excellent performance last season, had an abnormal performance this game, only 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 turnovers!

Lamar opened a can and took a sip, today's victory was indeed hearty, he saw a triple-double on his first exit (and played long enough, 35 minutes)! It is estimated that tomorrow morning, his performance will be spread all over the United States! Hawley also called him the Great O II. Seeing the praise of various experts on TV and a few doubts, he doesn't care at all, Lamar cares about the Lakers' next games! But Lamar also knows that with tonight's excellent performance, as long as his state can continue in the next games, then Jeff will have a hard time in the next days! (Lamar is very happy, the busier Jeff is, the more money Lamar makes)

On October 7, 1999, the Lakers welcomed their second opponent, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the time came to really test Lamar.

Timberwolves leader Kevin Garnett averaged 20.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.77 blocks and 1.66 steals per game last season. Coupled with the star center Joe Smith and All-Star guard Terrell Blanton who transferred in last season, the Timberwolves can be said to be strong, although Marbury's departure is that the Timberwolves' outside line is relatively weak, but the inside line is still very strong!

(Kevin Garnett, born May 19, 1976 in South Carolina, USA, is an American professional basketball player who plays as a power forward/center, nicknamed the Wolf King.) In the 1995 NBA draft, Kevin Garnett was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the fifth pick in the first round, and won the regular season MVP in the 2003-04 season. In the summer of 2007, he moved to the Boston Celtics, where he formed the "Celtics Big Three" with Ray Allen and Paul Pearce, and defeated the Lakers in the 2008 Finals to win the NBA championship. Kevin Garnett is a four-time NBA rebounding champion and one of the greatest power forwards in history.

Joe Smith, born on July 26, 1975 in Lofo, Virginia, USA, is a former American professional basketball player who plays as a power forward and has played for eight NBA teams in his career: Warriors, 76ers, Timberwolves, Pistons, Bucks, Nuggets, Bulls and Cavaliers. He is a veritable "ronin" in the NBA. In 1995, Smith was first drafted by the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the NBA Draft that year. In his rookie season, Smith excelled, finishing second behind Damon Stoudemire in the Rookie of the Year award. In 1998, he was operated to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the most famous "salary cap scandal" in NBA history occurred. At that time, Fagan signed a pseudo-contract (two years, $1.75 million) with the Timberwolves that was well below Smith's market price, and then secretly asked the Timberwolves to promise Smith a long-term salary cap contract (seven years, $86 million) after two years, so as to collect a huge labor fee. As a result, the matter was discovered by the NBA official, and the Timberwolves were heavily fined, stripped of first-round picks for the next five seasons plus a high fine, and Joe Smith was also ordered to terminate his contract and become a free agent, and both sides lost.

Terrell Blanton, born May 20, 1970 in Portland, Oregon, USA, is a former NBA basketball player and point guard. Terrell Brandon spent his college career at the University of Oregon. He entered the 1991 draft and was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the 11th pick in the first round. Blanton played six seasons with the Cavaliers, wearing the No. 11 jersey and was named an All-Star in 1996 and 1997. Brandon is considered by many to be one of the best point guards in the NBA in the mid-1990s, and Sports Illustrated described him as "the best point guard in the NBA" in a 1997 issue, and he was awarded the NBA Sports Style Award that same year. After playing for the Cavaliers, he played for the Milwaukee Bucks for another two years before being traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he became a teammate of Wolves king Kevin Garnett. ）

In the evening, the competition officially kicked off at the Staples Center!

Lamar is still mentally prepared for the difficulty of this game, after all, Garnett is now in full swing, and it is definitely not an easy thing to play against him, but what Lamar didn't expect was that Phil was worried about Shaq's injury aggravation, and he was not ready to let him participate in the next preseason, which made Lamar a complete bunker! Although Shaq's absence made Lamar's status in the team rise rapidly, and Phil also gave him unlimited shooting rights (Lamar was still very excited to hear the news), but Lamar still felt very helpless, the interior defense always took care of one or the other, Chauncy and Murray gave Lamar a lot of help on the outside!

NBA Sports reported on the evening of October 7 that in tonight's preseason game, the Los Angeles Lakers finally lost the game 103-107 in the absence of Shaq O'Neal and Kobe Bryant! Lakers rookie Lamar also performed well, scoring 30 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block against Garnett and Smith alone!

Lamar was lying in bed watching the TV and slowly distracted, he didn't want to listen to the analysis that followed, he was thinking about what he should do with the remaining five preseason games?

(Shaq will definitely not play again, even if he wants to play, Phil will not agree!Although Murray and Chauncey are both good, they are both outside after all, and they are of limited help to him in the interior defense! You must know that today's loss is mainly due to the lack of protection of inside rebounding, to be honest, the Lakers' interior depth is really choking now, Shak's injury and any problems are exposed, and Hawley's body is still a bit of a loss when he plays inside!)

"****! Do you want to learn from the Lakers in the future? Forget it, let's go to bed early! I believe that Phil will have a way. "Lamar simply doesn't waste brain cells anymore, as long as he focuses on the game, the tactical problems that those lineups do cause are still to let a big coffee like Zen master spend brain cells!

The loss in the preseason game did not disappoint Lakers fans, and the next day the Los Angeles sports-related media were full of reports of Lamar, Lamar's continuous outstanding performances in the preseason, and his all-round technical characteristics were also praised by the media! As for the other Los Angeles rookie, Elton Brand, was ignored by the media. (To be honest, Brand's performance is also good, quite stable, with an average of 20+10 per game, but unfortunately the Clippers have a bad record, and both games are big losses)

In fact, Elton Brand is also very concerned about Lamar's preseason journey, of course, he also knows Lamar's almost average triple-double data per game, and he is also very emotional in his heart, there is a feeling of being born and bright!

On October 8, the Lakers gave the players a day off. Lamar takes Lisa and Nini with him and decides to organize a day trip to Los Angeles. Packing up a few essentials for the game, Lamar started his brand new F450 SUV. Lamar walked down the bustling streets of Los Angeles with Nini in her arms, Nini turned her body from time to time, and she was very curious about everything now!

"Are you Mr. Lamar Odom?" asked a black teenager in a large T-shirt, looking wistfully at Lamar.

Lamar was stunned for a moment and nodded, MD, I don't know him!

"Great!" said the boy excitedly, "Then can you sign for me?" My friends and I especially like to watch you play!"

Lamar was stunned again, and then overjoyed. Lisa on the side looked at Lamar and felt a little funny! After the boy finished speaking, seven or eight more teenagers quickly came over and surrounded Lamar in the middle, which immediately attracted a lot of attention. Many tourists from the surrounding area also flocked to the area. (It seems that it is not the nature of Chinese people to like to watch the excitement, it is the same all over the world)

In just one moment, Lamar was surrounded by nearly 100 people. Looking at more and more people coming around, Lamar was full of emotion, as if he ~~~~~~ become famous!

Lamar handed Nini to Lisa, then took the pen handed by the young man, and began to hurriedly start signing autographs for the people around her! Lisa protected Nini and watched silently from the sidelines, also very happy!
