"I thought I wouldn't have the opportunity to visit here again after next June, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon!" Lamar laughed at George W. Bush, knowing that this man would not only be elected president, but would eventually defeat his opponent again to become the next president of the United States.

In the United States, it seems that almost every president will serve two terms as long as there are no accidents.

After listening to Lamar's words, George W. Bush smiled and said, "If I can become president, then I will still invite you to visit the White House." ”

Lamar has expressed his support for George W. Bush on many occasions, and this time the head coach of the French men's basketball team also said that he was an insult to the whole of America when he made discriminatory remarks against blacks.

In public, Lamar can be regarded as a loyal supporter of George W. Bush, and he does not like to get involved in politics, but since he knows that George W. Bush will definitely become president of the United States, why don't he help him out with the tide? In this way, it will always be good for himself in the future.

However, Lamar knows what kind of material he is, except for occasionally verbally supporting Bush Jr. in media interviews, Lamar never gets involved in anything related to politics, and Jordan's attitude is the same, "Politics is a politician's business, I only care about the basketball court"!

Hearing that George W. Bush will invite a group of his supporters to visit the White House after being elected president, Lamar suddenly started to think carefully, this is a good opportunity to expand his network!

Lamar pretended to be disgruntled and said, "Hey, George, I'm your big supporter." Did you invite me?"

George W. Bush patted him on the shoulder and smiled happily: "Of course, Lamar, you are my friend, of course I will invite you to visit here as well, and now I am drawing up the list of the first invitees, of course you are among them!"

Due to Bush Jr.'s support and recognition of Lamar's actions against France at the Olympics at the recent televised debate conference, most of the black players in the NBA now support Bush Jr.'s election, and now the NBA has become a base camp for Bush Jr.'s votes, especially this time Lamar defeated his opponent in the Olympics with an absolute advantage to win back the gold medal, which earned him a lot of supporters.

Visiting the White House, in fact, is not a very pleasant thing, they are surrounded by a lot of reporters and bodyguards during the whole process, Lamar and others every word and deed is infinitely magnified to the mold light, this feeling makes Lamar very uncomfortable. It seemed to him that they were the ones to be visited!

In the White House, they also met Hillary Clinton, the wife of outgoing President Clinton, who would later be the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party. Lamar knew that she would become the new Secretary of State of the United States. Oh, and I have to mention her predecessor, Rice, who was also black.

Lamar really can't understand that these politicians are obviously rivals and enemies, but when they meet, they show an intimate attitude! Seeing Bush Jr. and Hillary Clinton talking and laughing together, Lamar really can't imagine that these two people are mortal enemies.

Maybe he should run for president after retiring? That must be a funny thing, Lamar snickered inwardly.

After finishing the Olympics, Lamar returned to Los Angeles with a relaxed face.

There is still a period of time before the start of the season, from the end of the playoffs to the Olympic training camp in Orlando, until now, either busy training or busy participating in some commercial activities and advertising shooting, Lamar can be said to have not had a good rest since September last year! The rest of the time Lamar decided that he only needs to do his best, and what he needs to do is to rest and recuperate, and prepare for the upcoming season! Of course, Lamar also had to discuss with the uniform team how to select some more players for the team.

"Now we all know that we've lost a couple of players this season, and what we need most now is a big man who has a big rotation on the inside, preferably a big man who is good defensively and offensively. Phil touched the stubble on her chin and said that they were discussing which player to sign with.

Lamar was rummaging around with a stack of information in his hand, some of the players that some teams had asked for trade so far, and some players that no team had been willing to sign with, not that there were no good players, but the price was too high, and no team was willing to accept that price.

Hey, this old guy is there, Lamar looked at the player profile quietly, a little surprised.

General manager Jerry West and a couple of scouts were frowning and wondering that they couldn't find the players who could meet the requirements, and that the league was not short of interior players, but they were lacking cheap interior players who were balanced offensively and defensively.

After thinking for a long time to no avail, Jerry West could only hand Lamar a look for help, to be honest, this kind of behavior made him blush a little, who is the general manager? But Lamar's vision is really good, such as this year's rookie McMiller, who played very well in the summer league.

In Summer League, McMiller averaged 15.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 27 minutes per game, which is not bad for a rookie.

Of course, McMiller is still a little worse than Kenyon Martin now, Kenyon Martin in the summer league is extremely fierce, no one can guard against him, the player in the third position is not as strong as him, and the player in the fourth position is not as fast as him, so no one is his opponent.

Lamar isn't a discerning talent either, and he can talk about this year's rookie because of his memories of his past life. The players in the materials he has in his hands are all unknowns, and it's unrealistic to expect Lamar to get anything out of it.

Seeing that everyone else was looking at him, Lamar coughed and summed up slowly: "Robert is not as good as he used to be because of that injury last season! But what kind of interior do we really need? to be able to shoot, to be able to grab rebounds, to be able to freeze opponents, to be able to make subtle passes? If there were players like that, it wouldn't be where we are now. Players like that are called Lamar, Tim or Kevin, right?"

"What do you want to say, Lamar?" asked Shaq, puzzled, not thinking there was any shame in asking the question, because what Lamar said was incomprehensible.

Lamar threw the papers on the table, stood up and said, "Gentlemen, we need to make a little choice, tell me, what kind of role players do we need for the team?"

Without waiting for Phil and others to speak, he continued: "I think our team needs a player who can resist the inside when Shaq and I are off the court, we don't want him to be able to open up the situation for the team when the game is hot, the offense has Shaq, Kobe and me, so it is enough, and we also have Chauncy and Lamond, even Shaw and Harbour can also top." ”

"Offensive defensive interior player, Lamar, do you mean that?" asked Jerry West, who had clearly made a good choice in mind since Lamar was so sure.

Lamar pulled one out of the dozens of documents and put it in the middle of the table and said, "This guy is a good choice." ”

"Horace Grant?!" Shaq took the player information and frowned, "Isn't he a little old? Besides, at his age, injuries will be a problem, and there may be physical problems!"

Lamar smiled and nodded, "It's Horace Grant! I think you and Phil should be familiar with him!"

"He's not young, 35 and 36, but what we need now is an experienced and capable insider, and he's still fast, he's strong and always plays with passion, so he can play when the team can't play and cause some problems. Lamar concluded by saying that Grant could not be a regular starter for the Lakers, but the Lakers don't need stars right now. All they need is a bench bandit, an old fritter who dares to punch and fight.

Jerry West set his sights on a scout, who hurriedly turned on his computer to pull up information related to Grant and projected it onto the big screen.

Watched some of Grant's recent game videos.

Shaq suddenly laughed and said, "Lamar, you didn't choose this guy because he didn't look as handsome as you, did you? Haha! Look at it, I didn't expect this old guy to be so old that he still has such strength." ”

Lamar smiled wryly, it was just a coincidence.

The current Grant is indeed still very powerful, although it cannot be compared with the peak time, but it is more than enough to serve as the Lakers' interior substitute general! If it weren't for the influence of Lamar's little butterfly, this guy in his previous life was still the Lakers' starting power forward, and later this guy joined the Lakers again in the F4 period for the championship, but unfortunately the sky did not follow people's wishes! The powerful F4 finally collapsed in the face of the Pistons Five Tigers!

Of course, Fei'er and the others don't care about whether he is ugly or not, handsome or not! What they see is how much this old guy's current offensive skills and defensive awareness have been retained!

"Maybe you can call him and ask him what he thinks, see if he's willing to come to the Lakers? I heard that the Magic are selling him around lately, and if he can't be traded, he will probably be cut. Jerry West finally clapped his head and said.

Lamar nodded, if Grant ends up being a member of the Lakers, then their roster is almost complete. (To be continued.) )
