Chapter 34: The Spurs
Lamar is training easily with the magician on the side, regardless of the murderous eyes of the sweaty players on the side from time to time! Of course, the two are not lazy like this, the magician will change tricks when passing the ball from time to time, all kinds of different angles and different postures of the pass to let Lamar catch the ball, and sometimes ask for one hand! And from time to time tell Lamar some passing skills and how to grasp the timing of the pass in the game! The magician is experienced and talks endlessly, and Lamar also listens very carefully and benefits a lot!
The players were doing their own thing at the training ground, while Phil was in the office, expressing his dissatisfaction on the phone: "Oh my God, you're not joking with me, are you? This matter is not negotiable, I have to be responsible for my players! If you still insist, I can't help it, you let Jerry West or Dr. Bass come and talk to me!"
It was just a call from the Lakers' marketing manager, and he told Phil that he wanted Shaq, Kobe and Lamar to participate in a talk show in New York!
Phil was also very annoyed, he didn't know what the heads of this group of pigs thought? He actually wanted the three core players of the Lakers to sit thousands of kilometers away during the season to participate in these meaningless activities! Phil decisively chose to refuse, he is the head coach of the Lakers, and the most important thing to consider is the Lakers' record, and he is too lazy to pay attention to the rest!
In the end, the pig-headed manager still reported to Jerry West, and Jerry West did not blame him after knowing it, but chose to communicate with Phil by himself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Phil also had no choice, and in the end, with his support, Jerry West and he both took a step back and agreed to be interviewed by the media in Los Angeles!
In the end, after the training, the three Lamar still sat on Shaq's Big Mac and marched to the program team together. Who's calling Shaq, this guy has a lot of space in his car?
"Shaq, what do you think Jerry has for us to arrange such a show?" Lamar couldn't guess Jerry's purpose.
"I got the news that it seems that a program on TNT TV wants us to do a basketball show together, which is a live broadcast program for the whole United States, and almost 40 million viewers watch each episode, which definitely has a huge impact on us!" Shaq has a wide range of friends, apparently getting the inside word early.
"Yes, Lamar. It is said that this time they also invited Bill Wharton and ESPN's famous commentator Collins to be a guest, and this episode will definitely be a hit! What kind of sky-high endorsement contract will you have to find us in a hurry to endorse it? Believe me, you will definitely count the money and count until you have cramps!" Kobe Bryant is also a veteran bird who has been in the NBA for three years, and he also has his own relationship in the league.
Damn Jeff, I don't know what this guy has been up to lately? Lamar started to complain a little bit about Jeff, this guy is Lamar's economic man, and he always doesn't do business!
"So what are you looking for me? You know, I'm still a rookie. I'm not like you two guys, one is the No. 1 center in the NBA, destined to enter the top 50 superstars, and the other is Jordan's successor, the league's popular spicy chicken!" Lamar was also a little modest, and patted the two guys on the back of the ass.
"Haha。。。。。。 "Hahaha。。。。。。 ”
The two of them are still very useful, and everyone loves to listen to sycophants!
"Lamar, don't be modest, you must know that you are no worse than me now! I'm not praising you, you are definitely the best rookie in this class, there is no one! And according to your potential, as long as you still work hard, you will definitely become a superstar in the future!" Kobe Bryant obviously recognizes Lamar very much, and after these days of observation, he found that Lamar trains very hard!
"Yes! Lamar, I'm not bragging, you're the best rookie I've ever seen, and that rookie can get a triple-double just after entering the league, breaking the league's record for decades?"
The three of them kept touting each other in the car, and this relationship was also rising.
Walking into the recording site arranged by TNT, Bill Wharton gave the three of them a big bear hug!
"Hey, Lamar, I'm very optimistic about you! You've been crazy lately! Now that I'm planning to be your fan, should you give your fans an autograph?" said Bill Wharton, pulling Lamar as he pulled him.
"Haha! It's an honor, great Mr. Center! But don't hug so tightly! You know, I only like women. Lamar was so happy that he made a little joke.
Bill Wharton immediately let go of his hand: "I'm a normal man, too! I know, do you like Paris?" Bill Wharton immediately shot Lamar back.
Lamar was also speechless.
The two also fell in love, and they got together at the first formal meeting, chatting lewdly there.
Seeing Lamar and Bill Wharton chatting hotly over there, Collins at this time also immediately chatted with Shaq and Kobe, so as not to make the two guys look bored.
"Kobe, don't look at you playing very well, I'm a fan of Reggie Miller, you must know that Miller and Jordan are old enemies!"
"Then I'm sorry sir! Miller is definitely no match for me, because I have Shaq! hahaha。。。。。。 "Kobe Bryant is also very witty.
"Haha。。。。。。 Shaq, you're invincible on the inside now, but it's a pity that you make free throws, alas!" Collins immediately changed the subject.
"You know, people's energy is always limited, and Shaq is not superman! There are always people who are not good at it, and I always leave some way for those guys to live!" Shaq also didn't mind his free throws.
Lamar and Bill Wharton had a good chat, and the elder Bill had a sense of time and pulled Lamar over to say hello to Collins. "You'll have to be careful with this guy later! This guy is a staunch lama!" Bill Wharton began to count Collins's no.
The show finally began, and this time it's a little different that this kind of show is generally pre-recorded, and then broadcast after post-processing! This time, the program director team obviously played a little bit of new tricks, and directly came to a live broadcast, which is a bit similar to the talk show in later generations, Lamar also participated in the Oprah talk show in later generations!
Such a novel way of broadcasting the program is still very recognized by the audience, after seeing the ratings statistics report handed to him by the staff, the director also smiled from ear to ear, now he is on the TV station, and money and status are beckoning to him!
"Hello everyone, this is 。。。。。。 Interview, I'm the host Collins, and today we have invited guests such as former NBA center Bill Walton, current No. 1 center Shaq O'Neal, popular Spicy Chicken Peter Pan Kobe Bryant, and the hottest rookie Lamar Odom!" Collins' skillful opening statement was activated.
Collins continued: "What kind of person is Lamar? I think the audience will want to know, let's see what his teammates have to say about him."
Collins motioned for Shaq to speak first, and Shaq straightened his clothes. Shaq still didn't change his naughty nature, and replied with a very humorous feeling: "The big guys also know that I'm the strongest guy in the Lakers? As for Lamar! In my opinion, he's a monster, there's no doubt that he's a great player, he's hardworking, he's talented, I've never seen a 210cm guy who can do such a good job of organizing the team! The key is that he's my brother!"
"Lamar has great basketball talent and he's trained hard. And the relationship between the team and us is also very good, and I have a lot of private chats with this guy, of course, the main thing is to exchange each other's basketball understanding!" Kobe Bryant continued.
"Shaq, what do you think Lamar is great? Although you are in different positions, you are still the same interior player!" Collins also grabbed Lamar.
Shaq pretended to think for a while, and said very solemnly: "His free throws are much better than mine!" Shaq's words immediately ushered in bursts of laughter!
"Lamar's organization is better than yours, too!So Lamar is greater than you?" Bill Wharton also immediately turned on Shaq's joke mode.
In the gags of the guys, and the occasional attacks on each other, the show soon came to an end.
The three of them returned home very late, and Shaq was unfortunate enough to become the chauffeur of Kobe and Lamar, and he was the one who had no salary.
Next up for the Lakers will be the San Antonio Spurs, the Lakers' arch-rivals in the West!
The Spurs Twin Towers are arguably the only opponents in the league who can compete with the Lakers' Twin Towers on the inside. Although the admiral is old, Yu Wei is still there, and the tendon meat of his body is not an ornament, let alone Shifo Duncan, the No. 21 rookie can continue to dominate the inside line at the age of 37.
In fact, Lamar still questions the position of Thiem, and now the Spurs' interior combination, he and Robinson are both the kind of big men with comprehensive skills and flexible feet.
