Chapter 208: Lamar's Dream
And the Heat didn't have a good deal with Lamar's suddenly elusive passing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Until the end of the second quarter, the score of the two sides did not pull away.
At halftime, Anderson excitedly jumped up and down in the locker room, and he had already scored 10 points in this game, all of which were obtained by Lamar's assists and dunks, completing the agreement between the two men ahead of schedule.
"Hey, Lamar, where we're going to drink after the game, I can't wait a little bit now, it seems that the Miami people aren't as good as the outsiders say, especially that Grant, I can get him done with one hand. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, old fellow. I'm not talking about you! You're so much better than that guy!"
As soon as Anderson finished speaking, he saw his teammate Horace Grant staring at him with fierce eyes.
"Then I don't need to replace you in advance. Phil Jackson said with a black line on his face, he had just come in and heard Anderson's words.
"No!no!no!" Anderson quickly begged for mercy, "Coach, you know I'm just joking, of course I should be present in such an important game, especially the opponent's Grant, who is simply the toughest guy." ”
Looking at this guy's funny appearance, the locker room couldn't help but burst into laughter, since Anderson came to the team, the atmosphere in the locker room has never been solemn, even if Phil Jackson tried his best to make everyone serious, but Anderson only needed 10 seconds to destroy the atmosphere.
While everyone was laughing and playing, Lamar was just sitting quietly in the corner alone, wearing a headset, his fingers still tapping to the rhythm.
Phil Jackson walked over and sat down, "Lamar! What are you thinking?"
Sensing someone coming, Lamar took off his headset, leaned his back against the wall and said, "It's nothing! ”
Phil Jackson was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "How is it, your physical strength is okay, right?"
Lamar was on the pitch throughout the first half, without a second of rest, but unlike usual, he still seemed relaxed at this point.
Lamar laughs and says, "I feel empowered all over me now. ”
"Don't you really need to rest for a while?" Phil Jackson was still a little worried.
"There's no need for that!" Lamar said, standing up, "Guys, haven't you had enough rest? There's a bunch of underwhelming Miami guys out there waiting for us to clean up and kill them, and we've got time to relax." ”
After the restart, the game quickly entered Lamar's mode. It wasn't until Lamar showed his sharp teeth at his opponent that he realized that the aggressive leopard had just taken a nap in the first half, and now he woke up and was the all-powerful Lamar again, venting his excess energy at the Heat's basket.
Under Lamar's leadership, the whole Lakers team began to go crazy, as if everyone had been stimulated, running crazy on the court, crazy grabbing. The sudden wave after wave of offense completely stunned the Heat, and they soon collapsed.
Although Eddie Jones worked very hard and tried to rely on his personal efforts to save the team's decline, he was only one person after all, who told this guy to only care about his own comfort in the first half, and his teammates' feelings dropped to the freezing point!
The final result of the game was 121-92, and the Heat ended their longest seven-game winning streak in recent years.
Lamar had a total of 27 points and 21 assists in this game, and got a big double-double. Nineteen of those points came in the 14 minutes of the second half, after which he sat on the bench and watched Horace Grant lead a group of bench players around the court.
Eddie Jones, who lost the game, was naturally not in the mood to go to a nightclub with Lamar and them, but he left a sentence before leaving.
"I'll treat you well when we get to Miami. ”
I just don't know if the good hospitality is on the field or off the field! In short, Eddie Jones, who lost the game, is very unhappy now, and he can't help but shoot at his teammates when he is interviewed by reporters after the game.
"I'm very disappointed with the result of this game, I didn't get any support on the court at all, and everyone should review their performance in this game, yes! Everybody, especially Bryan Grant, who scored four points on the free throws today, didn't deserve the praise he got and the value he was worth. ”
Eddie Jones' angry words got the reporters hooked, and nothing excites them more than creating contradictions!
Of course, this alone did not satisfy them, and then they went to Lamar in a hurry, hoping to get some more news from his mouth, especially the sarcastic words of Lamar after each victory.
But today's Lamar is destined to disappoint them.
"Eddie did a great job today, he is an All-Star after all, you must know that Kobe Bryant has also played him off the bench. ”
The reporters couldn't believe their ears, he just praised his opponent, which didn't want Lamar's style.
Even after the game against the Raptors, when he praised Carter, there was a kind of sowing discord and bad intentions in his words, but today his words made no one find anything wrong at all.
A reporter didn't give up and asked, "Lamar, are you saying that Eddie Jones did well today?"
"Of course, he scored 41 points today and put on a good game for the crowd, doesn't that tell the story? ”
After saying that, Lamar ignored the reporters' questions, pushed through the crowd, got in the car and drove away, leaving only a group of confused reporters, all of whom wondered: "Could it be that Lamar has really changed sex?"
After the game against the Heat, the Lakers only have one day off to embark on their grueling road trip.
From the 29th away game against the Kings to the Denver trip on January 7th, they will fly to six different cities in ten days, which is definitely a great test for the Lakers who are missing the outside pillar Kobe.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Lamar was still practicing alone in the Lakers' empty training hall, because he was about to go on an away trip, and on the 28th, Phil Jackson gave the whole team a holiday, but Lamar still came, soaked in the power room for a morning, and now started to practice three-point again. Lamar was so bored to stay at home, and there was no one!
Kim and Khloe go to the outskirts of Los Angeles for a stand-up show, and Nini is taken by Lisa. He was the only one left at home, and instead of staying at home with nothing to do, it was better to come here and move around.
"Lamar! I'm not going to compliment you like that!"
I don't know when, Phil Jackson stood in the doorway, maybe he had been watching for a long time, and only now could not help but show up.
Lamar stopped shooting and turned to look at Phil Jackson, "Phil, when did you come?"
Phil Jackson stepped up to the door and said, "When you first did shooting practice, Lamar! I know you're hardworking, and there's no one like you in any of the players I've coached, except for that guy, of course! They're always trying to avoid training, and what you can do is that you're the only paranoid in the entire NBA that can compare to you." ”
Fei'er laughed and added, "By the way, I forgot that you're also a paranoid." ”
Lamar also smiled and threw the ball in his hand, still hollow into the net: "I just hate failure." ”
"But it's irresponsible for your body to train so hard. Phil Jackson still made his own criticism, he didn't want to be the central figure in his future plans, and Shaq's successor after aging was overtrained and was crushed by an injury early. Lamar doesn't know what Phil is thinking, and even if he does, what can he do? Can he have the last laugh after the Lakers' infighting? It's very suspenseful! Now the NBA's top interior line has not withered, at least Tim and Kevin will not be worse than him! But the real top outside line is only that guy!
"Resting keeps me out of shape and I've had enough rest by Christmas. After saying that, he ran to the basket and picked up the ball to continue his training.
Facing the stubborn Lamar, Phil Jackson had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and walked to the basket to help Lamar pick up the ball: "Lamar, tell me the truth, what is your biggest dream?"
Lamar's raised hand paused for a second before throwing the ball, only to lose its rhythm and smash the ball on top of the basket and bounce far away, and Phil Jackson had to smile apologetically and run over to pick it up.
"I didn't think about it, I just wanted to play every game and win every game. ”
"But as a player, you always have to set a goal for yourself. ”
The master and apprentice just threw the ball like this, and the other picked up the ball and chatted.
Lamar was silent for a long time before he said, "If I have to have a goal, I hope to win a lot of titles before I retire." ”
Phil Jackson looked at Lamar's serious appearance, and thought to himself that he was still the arrogant boy, and the meekness he occasionally showed in the last game might be to accumulate strength for the next outburst.
Then neither of them spoke, and it was not until it was getting late that Lamar finished training and dragged his tired body to the locker room to shower and change clothes.
Phil Jackson followed, and only now did he remember how many balls Lamar had just thrown, a full five thousand, and even the most diligent player could not have completed such a large amount of training in one afternoon. It was only now that he believed that Lamar's words about Russell the Lord of the Rings were not the arrogance of young people for a while, and he was really working in that direction.
