"I wanted to come out and slip around, but I didn't want to be discovered by the paparazzi, I ran in time, and I didn't bring my wallet, I've been hungry for almost a long time!" Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Okay, I'm glad I just have to treat you to a meal!" said Lamar, who began to concentrate on serving Princess Nini to eat.

Avril was eating, while watching Lamar carefully wipe Nini, I felt that this man was really a little special and charming!

After dinner, Lamar wanted to part ways with Avril and go back to their respective homes, but she didn't expect that the girl would rely on herself and go home with her.

"Hey, Xiao Guy, why are you going to my house if you don't go back to your hotel? Don't you know that it's dangerous to go to a strange man's house?"

"Isn't it dangerous? I don't think so? Besides, don't we know each other?"

"Sick!"

I just don't want to go back to the hotel, the paparazzi must be squatting near the hotel at that time, and there is no sense of security at all!" Avril looked at Lamar with teary eyes.

"Do you feel safe when you go to my house?" Lamar thought to himself, forget it, just pick up a puppy on the road and go home!

"Let's go!" Lamar eventually took Avril back to his home.

The next day Avril said goodbye to Lamar, and nothing happened! Lamar wasn't such a beast. But after such a night of contact, Lamar and Avril have become friends, especially after Lamar hummed some songs that originally belonged to Avril to Avril with the memories of his previous life, Avril simply regarded Lamar as her confidant!( Lamar didn't expect that he was inadvertently revealed, Avril actually put these songs in her subsequent albums, and the lyrics and composition were attached to Lamar's name, for which Lamar became famous in the music industry and earned a lot of income!)

Happy and quiet days always go by quickly, and Lamar is about to start his second season in the blink of an eye!

After signing Grant, the Lakers continued to push around, selecting the right bench players, and making small trades to trade some rookies who didn't perform well last season for useful players and some rookies that the Lakers fancied. In this way, before the start of the preseason, the Lakers have basically perfected the roster for the new season:

Centre-forwards: Shak O'Neill, Greg Foster

Power forwards: Lamar Odom, Horace Grant (PF|C), Robert Horry (PF|SF), Stanislav Medvidenko

Small forwards: Ramon Murray, Bryan Shaw, Mark Madsen

Shooting guards: Kobe Bryant, Ron Haber, Elijah Ryder

Playmakers: Chauncy Billups, Tyrone Lue, McPanpersi

The Lakers' lineup is reasonable, and the addition of Grant also makes Phil's lineup more handy. The preseason is a good testament to this, with the Lakers winning all seven preseason games, which is the reason why Lamar, Kobe Bryant and Shaq didn't play much, and if these three players play at the same time, the Lakers will win more cleanly.

Looking at the performance of the Lakers players in the preseason, no one dares to doubt their determination to defend their title. Now the other 29 teams in the league are a little irritable, and they see the shadow of the dynasty team in the Lakers, and it would be too bad if that happened, and there was no team that didn't want to win the championship.

The first game of the preseason was the Lakers vs. the New York Knicks, and now New York is rotting to the bottom. They drove out Patrick Ewing, who once brought them infinite hope and glory, but this did not slow them down the pace of decline, and because of Ewing's departure, the team was disheartened, and immediately changed from a playoff powerhouse last season to a fish belly team, and in the current Knicks, except for Alan Houston, there are really no players who can pose a threat to the Lakers.

Shaq didn't play, in fact he didn't play for the entire preseason.

We know how lazy Shaq is, plus he's been playing for nine seasons and has a lot of injuries all over his body, he has two injuries in his right leg knee, one is a tendon in his right knee and the other is a bone spur in his right knee, and the bone spur makes his tendon injury hurt from time to time. The problem arose last season, when the team doctor asked Garnett to undergo surgery, but in order to chase the championship, and the pain was still tolerable, he refused to have surgery, because he had to rest for at least two or three months as long as the surgery was done, and he didn't have that much time to rest.

As a result, Shaq has been on conservative therapy since the All-Star break last season, and he has to apply ice packs to his knee as soon as the game is over, and Lamar suggested that Garnett take advantage of the offseason to have surgery. However, after the team doctor's examination at that time, it was found that the problem in his knee had eased, which made the Lakers very excited, and it was of course a perfect thing to be able to heal the injury without surgery.

In order to prevent accidents, Feier also consciously protected this big guy, so she simply let this big guy rest well throughout the preseason, and the data of the preseason will not be counted in the regular season anyway!

However, Robert Horry, who was seriously injured last season, was not in good shape, and the old guy has not been able to get better due to his early comeback last season, and even after a summer of recuperation, there were still problems, and finally had to undergo a minor operation again before the start of the preseason.

The news of Robert Horry's surgery was announced by Jerry West at a press conference before the start of the regular season, and as soon as the news came out, the rest of the league finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure brought to them by the Lakers' Big Three is really not small, and now the Lakers are happy to have an injury.

Speaking from the heart, Robert Horry is now past the peak of his career, and the heyday of Horry in the 90s can not be compared at all, and now there has been a significant deterioration in physical fitness, but this does not mean that the role of the old guy on the court has decreased, in the Lakers team system, Horry is also the most important link, especially at the critical time of the game, his existence is like a sharp knife ready to insert into the opponent's chest at any time, the old guy's big heart has not disappeared with the deterioration of his body.

Robert, who is tall and long-armed, has a great sense of defense, is agile, defensive, and has a huge defensive area, and while his defensive stats don't seem to be as good as those star players, everyone knows how much the loss of this old guy can have on last season's champions. Fortunately, the Lakers still got Grant in the offseason, a good interior player, and they won't be stretched on the inside like last season.

In the Lakers, Grant's defense is not much worse than Shack's, but what about offense? To put it mildly, Shack's offensive ability on one finger is also stronger than that of Grant as a whole. Last season, without Shaq, Lamar single-handedly supported the team's offense and defense, and there was no one to support him when attacking, to pick him up, and no longer had anyone to complement them when defending. For the Lakers, it was all really deadly.

"Big guy, we can't live without you! I was fed up with not having you last season. By the way, how does your knee feel right now?" Lamar is still very concerned about Shaq's health, and without Shaq, it will be very difficult to defend the title!

"Haha, I don't have anything in my knee, I can still blow those guys!Don't worry, we'll definitely defend the title this season!" Shaq said lightly, it seems that the knee injury is not a big problem.

"You should care more about Mr. Key who cares about us!" Shaq said and moved his mouth in the direction of Horry, who was on crutches on the sidelines, facing Kobe and the others.

Kobe Bryant and others can only give him a roll of the eye, Horry's surgery is not good news for the Lakers, but this surgery has to be done! If Horry continues to play with injuries, then once he has a knee injury, then he will be ready to retire directly!

Lamar could only say: "Forget Robert, you can rest in the regular season, wait until the finals, uh! no, wait until the playoffs, you can play in the playoffs, don't you believe that we can lead the team to the playoffs?"

Robert, of course, believes, only one season. Lamar surpassed the rookies of the same class and became a super interior player in the league who existed with superstars such as Kobe, Garnett, and Tim Duncan. With him, Shaq and Kobe Bryant here, the Lakers have no problem getting into the playoffs at all!

"Now the whole league is treating us as enemies and ready to snipe at us in the new season! They think we're going to be down without Robert. Is this possible?" Shaq sneered, sitting in the locker room.

"Of course not, fuck these sons of bitch!" Grant shouted excitedly, standing up excitedly, having been informed by Phil that he would be used as the team's only interior substitute during Robert's absence.

Although Grant is new to the team and doesn't know where to position himself, he won't let go of such a good opportunity to integrate into the team!

Seeing his teammates all stand up and start yelling after him, he didn't need to roar in a louder voice.

Shaq waved coldly, and the Lakers players stood together to get ready to play, this was the first game of the defending season, and unfortunately, the Lakers were unable to face their opponents at home in the opener, and they played an away game in San Antonio today.

It is also a fate, the Lakers' first game at home last season was against the Spurs, and this season's Spurs' first game at home was against the Lakers, which can only be said to be a coincidence.

Most coincidentally, the Spurs aren't complete these days. Their bench Steve Cole unfortunately sprained his ankle on the training pitch, and his injury was no less severe than Robert's, and perhaps the two had about the same amount of off-season. (To be continued.) )
