Chapter 10: Lamar Shines Preseason Who is the best rookie

After more than 20 minutes, the number of people around Lamar gradually decreased, and everyone left the scene with Lamar's autograph in satisfaction. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoLamar is completely famous in Los Angeles, although he is not as good as Shaq, but in the minds of fans, his status in the Lakers is second only to Shaq and Kobe!

"Congratulations! Lamar, you've got your own fans. Lisa said with a smile on her face.

Nini was very well-behaved, and when he saw Lamar, he stretched out his little hand and took the initiative to hug him: "Baba, hug... Hug!" Lamar happily took Nini and kissed Nini's fleshy little face. (Nicney giggles)

"This is just the beginning, hehe, I'm going to try, I'm going to let the whole country know about me!" Lamar smirked, a smug look on his black face.

"I believe in you. Lisa looked at Lamar tenderly.

"Hmm!" Lamar felt Lisa's strange appearance, and for a moment did not know how to answer.

At this time, it was also 8 p.m., and for the sake of Nini's health, Lamar and Lisa decided to go home and rest.

After returning to the apartment, Lamar served Princess Nini to sleep (washing white, putting on diapers), and since it was still early, Lamar called Jeff to learn about Jeff's recent work and took the opportunity to show off that he was asked for autographs by fans on the street.

On October 22, 1999, the Los Angeles Lakers' preseason journey came to an end, when the Lakers defeated the New York Knicks on the road, all the reporters flocked to Lamar, most American fans will believe that Lamar Odom will be the best rookie in the NBA in 1999, and he is destined to become a superstar in the near future!

Maybe God is on Lamar's side, and in the remaining five preseason games, Lamar is playing passionately!

On October 11, against the Washington Wizards, Lamar went crazy again against Howard, cutting 22 points, 20 rebounds and 8 assists, leading the Lakers to a 120-102 victory over the opponent without a lineup. Facing an interview with reporters after the game, Howard, who was once again defended by Lamar, was angry and left!

Facing the Vancouver Grizzlies at home on October 13, Lamar cleanly scored a triple-double in the first three quarters with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists!

(The Grizzlies' main stars didn't play well throughout the game, and I don't know if it was affected by the Vancouver draft weather!)

Sharif Abdu-Rahim, born December 11, 1976 in Marietta, Georgia, USA, is a former American professional basketball player who plays as a power forward. Raheem was picked third by the Memphis Grizzlies in 1996, behind Iverson and Camby. He directly influenced the Grizzlies, becoming the team's leading scorer while holding the team's scoring record of 18.7 points. During his sophomore season, he averaged 22.3 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. In his third season, he improved by 23.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists. Despite his best efforts, the Grizzlies are still at the bottom of the Midwest Conference as they were in the previous four seasons.

Mike Bibby (born May 13, 1978 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey) is a former American professional basketball player who plays as a point guard. In the 1998 NBA Draft, Mike Bibby was selected by the Vancouver Grizzlies with the second pick in the first round. The Grizzlies' first year coincided with the NBA lockdown, and they only played 50 games that season. In his rookie season, he averaged 13.2 points per game while shooting 43 percent from the field. Although the Grizzlies have always been at the bottom of the list, Bibby's performance has improved year by year, ranking fourth in the league with 8.4 assists per game in his third season, ranking among the top point guards in the league. During this period, Bibby stepped up his training on pull-up jump shots and long-range shots from beyond the three-point line, and his scoring statistics increased year by year. While improving his shooting percentage, he averaged 8.1 and 8.4 assists per game, respectively. )

On October 16, they challenged the strong Spurs away. Facing the super combination of No. 21 rookie Tim Duncan and Admiral Robinson, Lamar looked up to the sky and sighed!

(David Robinson, born August 6, 1965 in Key West, Florida, is a former American professional basketball player, businessman, and center.) From 1989 to 2003, he played for the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA, winning two NBA championships with the team in 1999 and 2003. David Robinson was selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the first pick in the first round in the 1987 NBA Draft and served two years in the U.S. Navy before entering the NBA in 1989. He was named NBA Rookie of the Year in his rookie season, was named the Most Valuable Player of the Regular Season in 1995, was named to the NBA All-NBA First Team four times, was named to the All-Defensive Team four times, was selected to the NBA All-Star Game 10 times, won one scoring title, one block champion and one rebounding title. In 1994, he scored a "quadruple-double" in the game, and in 1995, he scored a career-high 71 points in a single game. Played for the Spurs throughout his career. In 1992 and 1996, David Robinson won two Olympic gold medals for the U.S. men's basketball team, the Dream Team and the Dream Team III.

Tim Duncan (born April 25, 1976 in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands) is a former American professional basketball player who plays as a power forward/center. Duncan was selected by the Spurs with the No. 1 pick in the first round in the 1997 NBA Draft. Named NBA Rookie of the Year in his rookie season.

On April 6, 2016, Tim Duncan won his 1,000th career regular season win, becoming the third player in history to win a thousand games and the first player to win a thousand on the same team. Truth be told, the No. 21 rookie is the author's favorite player, not one of them!)

On October 19, facing the Rockets away, Lamar faced the old dream of Olajuwon, and once again felt the demeanor of a superstar, although he used his young and fast reaction characteristics to form a mutual explosion with Olajuwon. (Lamar himself thinks, the fact is that the whole game Dream played 18 minutes) but Chauncey and Murray were not in shape, and finally lost by 8 points.

(Hakim Olajuwon, born January 21, 1963 in Lagos, Nigeria, is a Nigerian-American, former Nigerian-American professional basketball player who plays as a center.) That year, the Houston Rockets beat the Portland Trail Blazers to get the top pick, and Olajuwon was selected by the Rockets. That year's draft also featured Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and John Stockton. After joining the Houston Rockets, Olajuwon was nicknamed "Akim Big Dream". In the 1993-94 season, Olajuwon became the first player in NBA history to win MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and Finals MVP in a single season. The Rockets won two consecutive NBA championships, beating the New York Knicks with Patrick Ewing and the Orlando Magic with Shaquille O'Neal. On September 1, 2008, Olajuwon was officially inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame. )

On October 22, the last away game against the New York Knicks, the Lakers team was like a chicken, the shooting rate was red across the board, and in the face of the team's hot hand, Lamar comfortably brushed up the assist, and finally returned to Los Angeles with a victory! (Although the New York Knicks at this time can be said to be strong, the team has both Laytrell Sprewell, Marcus Camby, Alan Houston, Patrick Ewing, Even under the leadership of head coach Jeff Van Gundy, the team only allowed opponents to average 86.1 points and 41.7% shooting per game, which is at the bottom of the league. But their own offense is also a mess!)

In seven preseason games, the Lakers have achieved a 4-3 record without the two cores of Shaq and Kobe! Lamar performed amazingly, averaging 27.3 points, 12.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 2.3 steals, 1.7 blocks, and 3.3 turnovers per game!(Don't be surprised, after all, it's only a preseason, the defense of each team is not strong, and the main lineup will not be dead, and the core players basically go on the court to play soy sauce!) Coupled with the absence of Shaq and Kobe, the entire Lakers team revolves around this Lamar, and Lamar is given unlimited firing rights by Phil!

Now Lamar is shining in the entire NBA, and everyone knows that Lamar is a rising superstar! The major sports giants have also smelled the blood and are ready to move. In fact, this is also inevitable, everyone knows the role of a superstar in promoting their own endorsement brand, taking advantage of Lamar's still on the rise, signing Lamar at this time can not only have a personal relationship with Lamar, but also save a small amount of money!
