The moment the league replied to the completion of the deal, the Knicks officially announced the news of Lamar's joining, firstly to boost the enthusiasm of fans, and secondly, to demonstrate to the opponent.
"Bringing Lamar to the team is going to be the best signing I've made in the Knicks president role, he's an unbeatable player, and he's on par with many of the biggest names in league history. But don't forget, he's still young, and his upside is limitless. I'd love to see the day when he surpasses everything in the history of the league and truly becomes a one-of-a-kind basketball god. ”
James Dolan is clear that Lamar will become the unique basketball god, which means that the current basketball god Michael Jordan will be pulled off the altar. It seems that Mr. Dolan still has great ambitions!
Then James Dolan unfolded his bright outlook for the new season in front of hundreds of journalists.
"We will have unparalleled success, that's for sure, with Lamar we will have nothing to fear, no one will make us feel afraid, on the contrary, the time will come for those who have ridden on our heads and will pay the price, Lamar will lead his teammates to defeat all enemies. ”
James Dolan's refreshed reporters, what could be better than this?
Of course, it would have been more perfect if James Dolan had been able to explode a few expletives at the right time. It didn't work out, but it didn't matter, there was a Lamar sitting next to him waiting for them to dig it!
When the reporters pointed the finger at Lamar, Lamar was obviously prepared for a long time, and his expression was very calm, showing a rare attitude of cooperation.
"It was sad for me to leave Los Angeles, where I started my career and a lot of my friends are in that city! It's my pleasure!"
"But I felt it was time to start a new journey in a different environment. It's hard for me to improve in Los Angeles, and staying there is just a repeat of last season, which makes me less passionate about basketball. And Kobe and I are already like this!Everybody knows that, haha!" Lamar made a rare joke.
"If we continue to work together, not only is he suppressing my desire to attack, but I'm also suppressing him, and I think a lot of people haven't seen him on the court for a long time before the Finals started last season. When the new season starts, I think everyone will be able to see the same Peter Pan again, and as a fan of him, I would like to see him as before. ”
Lamar then changed his words: "Now that I'm in New York, this is my hometown, my family is in this city, I'm going to lead this team to success, and like Mr. James Dolan just said, no one can stop us." I would add that not even the Los Angeles Lakers. ”
After the press conference, Lamar and his entourage went straight to the Municipal Building in New York, where Lamar will be greeted by tens of thousands of New York fans.
New York fans feel that happiness comes too quickly, and the first news they see when they wake up is actually Lamar Odom, who has long been regarded as the son of New York, announced that he will wear the Knicks' jersey and compete in the NBA in the new season!
Who is Lamar, what kind of player is he? Anyone who pays a little attention to basketball will know that he is definitely a phenomenal player who can single-handedly lead the team to victory, and this guy is only 22 years old.
As long as Lamar comes, the championship is not far off.
This is the truest thought in the hearts of New York basketball fans at this moment, and they believe that as long as Lamar comes, with the Knicks having a lot of wealth over the Lakers, they will definitely be able to build a more perfect team for Lamar!
So with little to no mobilization, tens of thousands of basketball fans spontaneously rushed to New York's Municipal Square, where they were to greet the team's new hero.
When Lamar appeared in front of the fans with the Knicks' No. 7 jersey, tens of thousands of New York fans went crazy, and people shouted Lamar's name as if he was the savior.
"Say something to the fans who welcome you!" James Dolan said with a smile as he handed the microphone to Lamar.
Lamar hesitated for a moment and took the microphone.
"Guys, thank you so much for welcoming me, it makes me feel like it's the right thing to do to join the Knicks and come back to play in my hometown. ”
Lamar's words caused a burst of cheers among the fans, and everyone liked it equally. But Lamar's next words made their hearts that had just been lively quiet again.
"But, I still have to say, I don't love this Knicks team, I don't know much about him. Aside from six encounters in 2 seasons, I have very little to do with him!"
James Dolan's face turned white at the moment, he didn't understand why Lamar was talking like that?
Is it to anger the fans in New York, then obviously. He's going to do it soon, and it's already being talked about among the fans.
"I'm telling the truth, but now that I'm here, I'm going to do my duty as a professional and lead this team to success! ”
"Bang bang bang!"
The crowd exploded, and countless people cheered and clapped their hands, holding the poster with Lamar's image aloft.
"Lamar, Lamar, Lamar, Lamar!"
Such voices are heard endlessly, and people have come to regard Lamar as a savior, as their king.
While the New York Knicks fans celebrated Lamar's arrival, the Los Angeles fans were in a state of great disappointment, which quickly turned into anger.
James Dolan has already announced some details of the deal with Lamar at the press conference announcing Lamar's arrival. Of course, this surprised many reporters present.
Basketball fans in Los Angeles originally wanted to attribute Lamar's defection to New York to the power of money, but when they saw the agreement between the Knicks and Lamar, they were silent! Lamar did not ask Meeks to give up the team option to sign any new contract, and Lamar still had to take a two-year rookie contract with the Knicks.
Feeling cheated, the Los Angeles fans who seemed extremely angry began to burn photos of Buss Jr., Kobe's team uniform, and basketball shoes were also damaged!
Of course, some radical fans still blame Lamar for the fault, thinking that Lamar has to stay in Los Angeles even if he is a little brother, so Lamar's jersey and shoes were not spared!
Refusing to fully count, in just one day, tens of thousands of pairs of Azidas basketball shoe warriors endorsed by Lamar were burned, which shows what the number of radical fans in Los Angeles has reached.
"He's a traitor, a despicable villain, he only has damn status in his eyes, no honor at all, get out of here and go to New York! Be your boss, we don't need you!"
"We have Shaq and Kobe, who is Lamar Odom? It doesn't matter at all, just Shaq and Kobe Bryant. They're the sons of Los Angeles, and they'll never betray the city like that-brained Lamar. ”
"That boy had better be careful! I advise Judas, who deserves to be sent to the gallows, that he should not come to Los Angeles, where he is not welcome. As long as he shows up, I think every Angelenos with a sense of justice will be tempted to beat up this bastard. ”
Some of the radical basketball fans in Los Angeles shouted angrily as if everyone had become Lamar's enemy and would be torn to shreds as soon as he appeared.
While the anger of the Los Angeles fans was mounting, the Lakers' vacationing players were just as surprised by the departure of Lamar and Chauncey.
Grant, who was on vacation in the Maldives, was surprised when he learned of Lamar's departure: "Oh my God! It's hard to imagine that Lamar would leave Los Angeles? I always thought he would take over Shaq in Los Angeles and eventually become the leader of the team, but now it seems clear that he 。。。。。。 Grant didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"It's really frustrating, he chose to leave when we were at our best, I don't understand his thoughts, but I think time will prove him wrong!"
