Chapter 355: Battle Book
It's just that after Shaq got out of the car, his face looked a little gloomy, completely ignoring the voices of the fans around him and saying hello to him, and walked straight up the steps in front of the hotel gate, snatched the megaphone from the hands of a fan, and stared at him, although the voice was not loud, but it sounded very intimidating.

"Aren't you ashamed to do that?"
Shaq's words completely stunned the Los Angeles fans below, ashamed Why did Shaq say that? There was another commotion in the crowd, but under Shaq's cold gaze, it quickly fell silent again.
"What is the purpose of your gathering here today?" Shaq asked again, suppressing his anger.
After a long time, a daring fan finally replied to Shaq: "We just want to show that traitor how good Los Angeles people are, and make him pay for his betrayal."
"The price?" Shaq sneered and continued, "is that what you are doing now? stop deceiving yourself, your purpose is entirely to make the New Yorkers sleep so that we can have an advantage in tomorrow's game." Are you afraid of Lamar?!"
"It's not true!" one fan shouted emotionally, "Shaq! ā
"That's right, you're not right!
"We won't be afraid of that traitor, and if that guy appears in front of me now, I'll make him look good!"
The Los Angeles fans are talking about defending themselves, and just by looking at the faces of some people, you can see that they are indeed a little weak-hearted.
They wanted to use some extraordinary means to ensure the team's victory so that Lamar would regret leaving Los Angeles, but they had absolutely no intention of fearing Lamar.
"Don't deny it, that's what I'm talking about, hell, you're simply dishonoring the great city of Los Angeles, and you're going to do this trick out of fear of a player, for fear of losing a game. I'm very angry, really angry, because you don't believe that my teammates and I are capable of winning a game with fair means!"
Some of the thieves couldn't help but move back under Shak's terrifying gaze.
Seeing that the crowd had calmed down a bit, Shaq asked again, "Do you believe me!?"
"Shaq, of course we believe in you! You are the pride of the city! You are our hero!"
"Yes, of course we believe you!"
This time, the fans answered very uniformly, which shows the weight of Shaq in the hearts of Los Angeles fans, if it is now in the Middle Ages, with his prestige can even become the king of the city.
Shaq smiled and nodded, "Very well, since you are willing to believe in me and my team, then please go home now and go back to your own bed." Go to Staples Center tomorrow night and see for ourselves the moment when we defeat the New York Knicks!
"Well said!"
"Shaq, we listen to you!"
"That's right, don't let those New Yorkers underestimate us, we can defeat them in the open!"
Some of the fans began to disperse after Shaq's persuasion, and in the end, there were still a few hundred people left, and one of them, who looked like the leader, stood up and walked in front of Shaq.
"Shaq, my brothers and I have great respect for you and thank you very much for what you have done for this city, but I still want to say: you have your battlefield, and we have ours. Today we can listen to your departure and give that traitor a place to rest, but tomorrow when we get to the Staples Center Arena, we will still entertain that traitor in our own way, and I hope you don't stop it then!"
Shaq laughed a little before he began to say, "Of course! This is your freedom, I have no right to interfere! But I don't think you can interfere with that guy, he is almost everywhere in the league, and whenever it is an away game, he spends it in scolding." ā
"You don't have to worry about that, we have our way of doing things!"
The last group of Los Angeles fans dispersed, and Shaq glanced back at the window where the curtains were only opened, he knew that Lamar must be in that room, and after a moment's hesitation, he walked into the hotel anyway!
Lamar looked at the tall man standing at the door, and his heart was slightly touched, this is his best friend, best brother, Shaq who gave him a lot of help when he first arrived.
When Shaq was negotiating with the fans below, Lamar saw it, and he heard everything Shaq said.
"Won't you invite me in and sit down?"
"Of course!" Lamar called Shaq in.
Chauncy Billups was also a little embarrassed to see Shaq, after all, Shaq also took good care of him when he was in Los Angeles, but he chose to leave Los Angeles to follow Lamar in New York.
Shaq smiled and said to Chauncy Billups, "Chauncey, you did a great job in New York, can you let me and Lamar be alone for a while? A few minutes will do, and it won't delay your sleep!"
"Of course!" Chauncy Billups replied and fled quickly, he really didn't want to face Shaq.
After Chauncey Billups left, the two men in the room were silent for a while.
Eventually, Lamar broke the silence: "I should thank you, right?"
"You don't need to thank me, as long as you are the one who cares, you know the inside story, and it's not your fault!"
"Besides, I'm not doing this for you, I just don't want someone to think I'm not going to win tomorrow!" Shaq looked at Lamar with a playful smile.
Lamar immediately shot back disdainfully, "Are you so sure you can defeat me?"
Shaq thought for a moment and said, "Of course! I've always been very confident in myself. ā
"Haha, big guy, you're hesitating! But in that case, I don't have much more to say, I hope it will be the end of the game tomorrow. You can still keep the confidence you have now. Be careful, I'll tear him apart!"
Lamar was laughing inwardly, and although it sounded like they were provoking each other, as long as you understood the deep friendship between them, you knew that even if it was competition, they were willing to do it in a friendly atmosphere.
Shaq smiled and was silent for a moment before continuing: "The scene at the Staples Center Arena tomorrow may surprise you, and those fans will definitely not let you go!"
Lamar lay on his back on the sand and said, "I guessed it all from the moment I decided to leave Los Angeles and go to New York to create my own era. It's their freedom, after all, I broke my promise to them, and they have reason to hate me. ā
Although Lamar said it lightly, there was still a sad look in his eyes, perhaps in his heart he was very eager to be understood by the Los Angeles fans.
Shaq accurately captured the color: "Have you ever regretted your decision? Actually, staying in Los Angeles you may not have a chance to beat that guy!"
"No!" Lamar said, shaking his head, "I've never regretted it. Although I love this city and love this team, I have my own pursuits, I can't waste all my youth on being the second-in-command of the team, I want a team that is completely mine, just like you have the Los Angeles Lakers in your hands, and now I have done it. ā
"Besides, I've got my own team now, and that guy is still waiting for you to hand him the baton, but I've got to advise you to be careful, because this guy can't wait to take over! ā
Shaq said with a wry smile when he heard this: "It's already started, I originally thought that guy would be relieved when you left, but I didn't expect him to start to wait." ā
"If you knew that, we would have to put pressure on the team for you, maybe then we will be the greatest team in NBA history, and we will make the Los Angeles Lakers the greatest team in the NBA with our hands. ā
"Shaq, do you think it's possible?" Lamar said sadly, as if recalling the time when the two fought side by side, "Are you so sure I'm not going to take power? I'll be willing to wait for your inheritance? ā
Both of them laughed.
After laughing, Shaq said, "Lamar, I just came up to ask you something! Are you ready?"
Lamar, of course, knew what Shaq was asking, and said with a slight smile, "Of course! I've been preparing for a long time. ā
For today's fight with Shaq, Lamar has indeed been mentally prepared for a long time, in his heart Shaq is different from Tim, Kevin, Dirk, and Chris, and even he now faintly regards Shaq as his number one enemy. Only by defeating Shaq can he say goodbye to the past completely and make a new leap in his strength.
Shaq smiled and said, "Good! I'll see you tomorrow at the Staples Center arena, and I'll teach you a good lesson on my turf." ā
Lamar looked at Shaq's back and suddenly said, "When the time comes, I'll take the Staples Center Arena with my own hands!"
Shaq was stunned: "I'm afraid you don't have this ability!"
"Shaq!
Shaq was gone, Lamar lay on the bed and soon fell asleep, he was not the kind of person who was easily distracted, and he desperately needed to recharge for tomorrow's big battle.
Early the next morning, Lamar got up and went straight to the hotel's gym, where exercise every morning had become a must for him.
Lamar slept well, but Van Gundy was different, and he was worried that Lamar's condition would be affected by the Los Angeles fans who came to make trouble, and he didn't fall asleep until 3 a.m. Although there are a lot of elite players in the team at present, he knows very well that it is impossible to beat a super team like the Los Angeles Lakers without Lamar. Although the Lakers lost Lamar as the playmaker and Chauncey Billups as the best playmaker before the season, they are still the strongest in the league at the moment.
