Chapter 947
With the NBA's vigorous overseas expansion in recent years, some foreign media reporters can now be seen everywhere outside the Staples Center. Lamar, as the number one star in the NBA, is naturally surrounded by these reporters.
Of course, the most popular of these foreign journalists is the Chinese journalist, but unfortunately most of these guys' problems revolve around the name of the drug. Speaking of which, Lamar also has to admire the great powers of these reporters, and even knows that Lamar once privately invited the name of the medicine to the manor.
"I'm not afraid of Hilario getting angry, when the trade was made, the Knicks' first choice was actually the name of the drug, but unfortunately the asking price of the Rockets was too high at that time!"
"It's a shame, isn't it? I've seen him and watched him in his rookie camp, and he's a very good center, young and talented, and he has a soft touch that a lot of big men don't have. However, in my opinion, he should not use the American center as a model to develop, with his current height and physical fitness, in fact, it is enough to maintain his current weight, and he should not be gaining weight! This will lead to some unnecessary injuries, and in serious cases, it will even threaten his career. ”
"It's a pity that when the drug name entered the Houston Rockets, Olajuwon was no longer in Houston. Otherwise, I think he could learn a lot from Da Yume. Of course, Patrick is not bad, and if he can learn a little more from Patrick, it will also make him useful. At least he can learn what to do when he is provoked under the basket!"
Lamar spoke with a heartfelt and complete look of thinking about the name of the drug, which moved the Chinese reporters around him to tears, almost taking him for a modern-day Bethune.
In fact, only Lamar himself knew that if he hadn't had nearly 20 years of memory, how could he know so much about the name of the drug.
What drug name is enough to maintain the current weight, what drug name should not be based on the American center, if it weren't for the injury situation of the drug name later, where would Lamar get the confidence to talk about it in front of these reporters?
Who was the most intriguing player at the 2004 Rookie Challenge? No doubt most people will vote for Carmelo Anthony, a first-year rookie who has now replaced Vince Carter as the Toronto Raptors' boss.
From challenging Lamar when he was training with the Knicks, to then unruly and feuding everywhere, in just half a season, Lamar, Kobe, Paul Pearce, McGrady, and even Vince Carter of one team have become the object of his challenge. Seemingly stimulated by the loss of the draft, Carmelo Anthony began to look around for someone to challenge, and while being disgusting, he also made a huge name.
Although Carmelo Anthony has become arrogant and unruly, he has a rare tenacity that many players do not have.
Although he is still a rookie, and although 99% of the challenges have ended in failure, Carmelo is not without gains, his will has become more tenacious and his strength has become stronger. From the beginning of the lack of power to fight back, to now the opponent is inseparable, the improvement in strength is obvious.
Now Carmelo Anthony has conquered Toronto's fans with his practical actions, won the favor of the management, and even sat in the position of the team's boss. Carmelo averaged 22.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game as a rookie in the class of 2003, a feat that catapulted him to fame in the league.
In this way, it seems that Carmelo Anthony does have the capital to be proud of. Among their batch of rookies who have been hailed as the platinum generation, the top pick LeBron James has been questioned for his rough technique (crab step), the top star Da Comi Licic has become a water cooler caretaker because he can't find the rhythm of the NBA, and Devin Wade, the only one who can pose a threat to Anthony's status, cannot play to his full strength because of the head coach's restrictions.
For a variety of reasons, history has been changed, and now Carmelo Anthony has replaced the historical LeBron James as the leader of the 2003 rookie rankings.
Of course, there is also a Chris Bosh in the east, but Anthony doesn't pay attention to that skinny bamboo pole. Although the two men met twice this season, Anthony and his Raptors both lost to Miami, but Anthony felt that it was just bad luck (Carter was still recovering from an injury at the time and did not play).
Probably because of the similarity between the technical characteristics and Lamar, Anthony was even named Lamar Jr. by the media of good things for a time. Of course, whether it is Lamar, who is used as a template, or Anthony himself, he is 10,000 dissatisfied with this title.
Although Lamar made enemies everywhere, and when he first entered the alliance, he was spewed trash like a mad dog because he was despised by others, but now Lamar's temper has eased a lot. Although Lamar also provokes his opponent from time to time, he is not like Anthony who bites everyone indiscriminately.
The most important point is that although Anthony's changes are intriguing Lamar, he also wants to see where Anthony's limits are, and even hopes that Anthony can surpass the level of his previous life to make his NBA career more challenging. But when it comes to the question of succession, it's a bit funny!
Lamar thinks he and Anthony are two people with completely different basketball styles. One is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, one is good at attacking, not good at defending, and the defense is the same as a brush; one is accurate in shooting, and one can't find the feeling outside the three-point line. How can such two people have a relationship of inheritance?
Anthony is also very unhappy! Even if Lamar is tough, he doesn't want to do anything like a second Lamar Odom. Anthony is going to be the first incomparable Carmelo Anthony!
What's more, Lamar is nothing more than this in Anthony's eyes. Although the last time he challenged Lamar was a fiasco, Anthony just felt that it was because of his lack of experience, and if he was allowed to accumulate experience, he would definitely not be defenseless, and even trampling Lamar under his feet would not be a big problem.
When the Rookie Challenge players entered, Anthony's eyes scanned around like radar, quickly locked on Lamar's bearings, and then gave him a defiant look.
Lamar was not even interested in responding to Anthony's provocation. There is no comparison between a lynx and a vole, and Anthony is not qualified to challenge him now.
The starting lineup for the first-year rookies in this game is: Coke Simridge, Devin Wade, Yi Jianlian, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh.
The starting lineup for the second-year Birdies is: Drugname, Amarestad Meyer, Mike Miller, John Salmons and Jamal Tinsley.
Hillary Clinton is unfortunate that while he's strong enough to finish in the top three in the 2002 draft, the top two are inside. Fortunately, Hilario originally came to this year's rookie competition with a vacation mentality, and he didn't care much about it. Salmons, however, was somewhat surprised to get into the starting lineup.
At the beginning of the game, the sophomore team took the lead, and the little bully Stoudemire forced a breakthrough dunk as soon as he started, and then Salmons received a pass from the medicine name and scored a relay in the air, and the sophomore started the game 4:0.
The brightest star of the sophomore team, Xiaobawang, quickly became the protagonist on the field after the opening, and had many eye-catching performances. Shortly after committing a Bully to the frame, he performed an aerial relay with his teammates again, but this time he was the passer, and he also dunked in the air after receiving the ball.
Five minutes into the first quarter, the sophomore led the rookies by seven points, 19-12.
Anthony, who had high expectations before the game, had a mediocre performance, scoring two points from free throws alone. But then Anthony found an opportunity to perform, he chose to break through after taking the ball outside the three-point line, the defense of the All-Star Game was a decoration, and the offense with the ball was originally Anthony's specialty, so it was easy to break in.
"Come on, bastards!"
Perhaps it was because of the excitement of the fight, and Anthony began to be a little unscrupulous. As a result, he yelled loudly, offending the whole second-year team. Hilario, who had just come on the field, saw Anthony's arrogant look, and suddenly became angry, yelled and pounced.
Hilario is not playing, so he is completely a decoration after coming on as a substitute, neither attacking nor being listless when he is involved in defense. But this time he showed the momentum of a champion team.
It's just that Hilario pounced a little too late, and when he and Anthony collided in the air, Anthony had already completed the dunk action. And Anthony jumped too high, although this guy's personality is annoying, but after all, there is still some real material.
There was a loud "bang", and the basketball was stuffed directly into the hoop by Anthony. Not only that, but the referee's whistle also sounded, Hilario fouled, and Anthony scored two points and added a free throw.
"Ahh
Anthony also looked excited after the goal, waving his arms and shouting, while still shouting: "This damn stage is too small!
Anthony's childish venting made Lamar laugh too. Everyone knows what Anthony means, this rookie challenge is not his stage at all, the stage that belongs to him should be the day after tomorrow, but the fans have no eyes and do not choose him.
Although Anthony roared imposingly, he was still a rookie after all, so he didn't give others face, and those old birds who had been in the NBA for a year naturally couldn't help but teach him how to behave.
Soon, Anthony, who was thinking about making persistent efforts, broke down the sophomore team in one fell swoop, suddenly found that the defense around him suddenly strengthened a lot.
