Chapter 6: Time Flies Preseason begins

Walking out of LAX and breathing in the California air, Lamar felt very comfortable!

Lamar didn't ask Jeff to pick him up, and took a taxi back to his home with Lisa! Lisa packed up his things at home, and Lamar took a taxi to the car dealership agreed with Jeff! (Now that he has a little money, Lamar is also ready to buy a car of his own, after all, he wants to stay in Los Angeles for a long time, Lisa is also here, and having a car is a must!)

Lamar and Jeff, accompanied by the shopping guide lady of the car dealership, kept shuttling between various vehicles, and they were a little dazzled!

In the end, Lamar took a fancy to two cars (one for himself and one for Lisa)

1. Porsche 911 (for Lisa): Porsche 911 is a sports car manufactured by Porsche in Stuttgart, Germany, designed by Alexander Porsche himself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info 911, which has evolved since 1964, is internationally renowned for its unique style and durability. Regardless of how the 911 evolved, the tradition of the rear-engined engine from the Turtle to the 997 was never abandoned, and even the air-cooled engine was not switched to a water-cooled engine on the all-new 996 until this year. The full price of the top configuration is 180,000 US dollars.

2. Ford F Series (F450 Modified Series): This F-450SVTRAPTOR is designed for the BAJA1000 race to fully reflect its off-road ability just by looking tough. The large rectangular honeycomb grille with Ford's logo in the middle, together with the newly designed bumper and bonnet, gives the front end a striking impact. In addition, Ford designers have made the SVTRAPTOR 198mm wider on the original F-450 and made the headlights fully embedded in the front of the car. Lamar likes his majestic and domineering style very much, and the price is also expensive! The top configuration of the 6.7 displacement is priced at 580,000 US dollars.

Lamar swiped the card very happily, because it was the full amount, the manager gave a discount and took a photo with Lamar (the manager is a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, he is very concerned about the movements of the Lakers, and knows Lamar's number one person), the two cars paid a total of 720,000 US dollars, and the car dealership also covered all the fees such as the license plate, Lamar is also very happy!

Jeff was a little sullen, this guy originally wanted to try the strength of Lamar's new car, but unfortunately Lamar ruthlessly drove him to drive a Porsche!(The car is a man's closest lover, how can he let others get started, no matter how good the brother is, he has to say!)

Back home, Lisa was very satisfied with the new car Lamar bought! Lamar and Jeff finally didn't have to go out to solve the problem of eating, and Lisa's cooking skills were still good! Lamar and Nini looked at each other and had a good time! After eating, Jeff said goodbye, saying that he had made an appointment with Ganon Baker to talk on the phone, and Lamar gave Jeff a prepared check before he left, "Jeff, this is the money that Ganon Baker promised to invest in his trainer team!"

"I'll hand it over, leave it to me! I'll go first, let's call if there's anything going on!"

Lamar sends Jeff away, and then goes back to the carousel with Nini to puff up her toys!

Time flies, Lamar's life is very regular, in addition to the necessary exercises, every day is to play with Nini, swimming, massage, feeding, changing diapers。。。。。。 Lamar is having fun, he doesn't go out much, after all, since he broke off contact with his former fox friends, he doesn't have any real friends, Jeff is busy, Baker is busy, Magician is not busy, but it's a pity that he's on vacation! (Lisa has been relieved to see that Lamar is always at home and takes good care of Nini!)

On September 20, Lamar received a phone call to the team to assemble and arrived at the Stamp Center on time, and at this time the players had already arrived, such as Kobe! Lamar saw that everyone was busy with their own business on the court, and no one greeted each other. I silently joined the training team!

By ten o'clock in the morning, the players and coaches, including Dr. Bass and others, showed up!

"Hello boys, it's great to see you, and on behalf of the Lakers, I'd like to welcome you on board!" Dr. Buss spoke first. After saying that, he gestured to Jerry West and Phil, and left!

"The new season is about to start! We've added a lot of new faces compared to last season, and we've got some old players leaving the team for the Lakers' future! But the Lakers' goal isn't going to change, it's the O'Brien Cup!

Fei'er nodded his head: "Okay, kids! I'm Fei'er, your head coach! Next, you introduce yourself, I'll give you fifteen minutes to introduce yourself, and get acquainted with your comrades in the new season!"

Then the players began to introduce themselves, Shaq and Kobe Bryant are still very friendly to Lamar, they have long heard Phil mention Lamar, and they also know about Lamar's recent training! Shaq's personality is like a child. Kobe Bryant was particularly curious, and talked to Lamar about his training, and the two confirmed each other, and they were very happy when they chatted, but the time was limited, so they could only exchange mobile phone numbers with each other, and agreed to meet in the future! Chauncy and Murray, Haber, Hawley and others were also very chatty with Lamar because of Lamar's deliberate approach, and because Lamar was quite modest, several people also showed great enthusiasm, and soon exchanged contact information! Lamar unconsciously increased everyone's good impression of him, after all, people like to listen to good words. (It's nice that Lamar isn't as arrogant as he was reported on the news!)

As soon as the time came, Phil interrupted everyone's chat and began to arrange the task of training (next to the start of the preseason, the training will basically not be interrupted, Phil has to rely on this time to run in the team, through continuous training, increase the tacit understanding between the players!)

"Shaquille O'Neal, Power Forward: Lamar Odom, Small Forward: Ramon Murray, Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant, Point Guard: Chauncey Billups, John Celestead, You're on the Red Team (that's the starting point for the new season)!!Tyrese Knight, John Sailly, Robert Horry, Brian Shaw, Lewis Braque, Ron Harper, Tyrone Lue, you're on the Blue Team, and the matchup begins!"

With the start of the internal training match, the players are also starting to get serious!

"Lamar, good job! Awesome pass!" Shaq received Lamar's high toss and gave Lamar a thumbs up and said! Shaq is quite comfortable receiving this ball, and it feels like he has been partnering with Lamar for a long time!

Kobe Bryant also looked at Lamar a little incredulously, this guy just used the defender's action to pass Robert Horry, and then threw it high without seeing Shaq step forward, and his passing awareness was comparable to that of a top point guard! It seems to be a little interesting, Lamar is really good! Kobe Bryant thought subconsciously.

"Wow, man, that's pretty cool!" Billups was very surprised, he controlled the ball past half court, saw Lamar use Shaq's cover to cut into the inside, a base without hesitation, Lamar received the ball and faced Robert Holly, who was chasing the defense, Kobe Bryant who grabbed the rebound with a wonderful pass behind him, Kobe Bryant slammed the dunk with one hand!

Lamar and Kobe high-fived each other, and Robert Holly also walked over and patted Lamar's shoulder with emotion!

The training continues, Lamar's performance makes Phil's eyes shine, although Lamar does not score much, but the passing organization awareness is outstanding, and he has a good connection with the Lakers' inside and outside lines, Lamar always seems to be able to find the loopholes of the blue team!

The red team played very smoothly, but the blue team suffered, the strength was not as good as the red team, and with the tacit understanding of several people, I didn't expect to kill a monster rookie like Lamar! The fight was very aggrieved, and finally 76:33, the red team won the victory!

。。。。。。。。。。

As the internal training progresses day by day, the tacit understanding of the Lakers' starting five tigers is increasing day by day, and the performance of Chauncey Billups and Ramon Murray is also very surprising to Phil!

Chauncey Billups, who originally thought he was trading soy sauce, is very stable in ball control, has a good rhythm on the court, excellent defense, and good mid-to-long-range shooting ability, but unfortunately his shooting is still not stable enough!

And Ramon Murray quickly found his position, because of Lamar's excellent passing awareness, with the containment of Shaq and Kobe, Ramon Murray with his own running, will always receive Lamar's open pass at the first time, and the shooting rate is super high! Ramon Murray feels like a fish in water in the Lakers!

Fei'er subconsciously clenched her fists, full of confidence in the new season。。。。。。
