Chapter 309: Change

On the plane, Shaq looked very happy, he felt that he had already told Lamar to move, and he believed that Lamar would stay. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the team really can't give Lamar a bigger contract after the contract expires because of the luxury tax problem, compared with the contracts of himself and others that can easily cost hundreds of millions, Shaq still feels that Lamar will be more emotionally inclined when choosing.

Phil Jackson was even more direct, and he was already on the plane eager to explain his big plans for the new season to his two big players.

"I think our outside defense is still too poor, and if we want to create better results and let our greatness not be surpassed by anyone, we have to make a fuss on the outside. Although Lamond's scoring ability is good, and he has made significant progress in tackling the team's offense, his defensive ability is still not reassuring. Last season, I was looking for an outside defender who could provide you with more protection, but I didn't have a good candidate, but now it's different, we're a championship team, everybody can see how strong we are, and good players who want to win a championship will definitely want to go to the Lakers. ”

"Do you have any good candidates?" Shaq was a little unimpressed by Phil Jackson's decision, feeling that the team had proven itself strong last season, and there was no need to do anything about the main lineup, just add to the weak points.

Besides, having played with Ramon Murray for two seasons and has become very good friends, a person like Shaq who is so emotionally attached is unwilling to let Ramon lose anything, especially the main position that symbolizes identity.

Lamar is also a little reluctant, although he is also desperate to have a full-time defender next to him as a bodyguard, but that does not mean that he is willing to let Lamond make sacrifices. After all, they have been together for two years, and although the relationship is nothing compared to Anderson's guys, after all, he is used to having such a three-point shooter around him to share the attention of defensive players, and it is still difficult for him to accept if he really wants to make changes.

More importantly, neither Shaq nor Lamar wanted to make the team's dressing room unstable.

But now Phil Jackson is completely immersed in the picture of the dynasty in his fantasy, and he didn't notice the unhappy faces of Shaq and Lamar at all, and continued to say excitedly: "I should say that we are really lucky, I have a good candidate now." And he played under me at the beginning. I believe that as long as we can show enough sincerity, we will definitely be able to bring him back to my men!"

When Shaq heard that he was still a player who walked out of Phil's hands, he immediately became interested: "Who are you talking about?"

"Scott Pippen, I think you must remember the name. ”

"Of course, you're talking about him, he's a serious guy, and although he's old, his defense is really good. ”

Who doesn't know that Batman Pippen is the cornerstone of the Bulls' 6 championships, and is known as one of the strongest small forwards in the history of the league.

Seeing that Shaq was also interested, Phil Jackson continued: "His contract with the Trail Blazers has just expired this season, and he just revealed to me a few days ago that he wants to retire, of course, I can see from his look that he still wants to test the water in the free agent market, I think this is a good opportunity for us!"

"What about Lamond?" Lamar couldn't help but ask, although the relationship with Murray is average, after all, they are teammates who have played together for two years, and he was very atmospheric when Seri was traded. Now I didn't expect Phil Jackson to even dare to shoot the main players.

Phil Jackson apparently didn't think about Ramon Murray's thoughts, and said nonchalantly: "If Lamond is willing to accept the role of a substitute, there is still a place for him in the team." ”

Listening to Phil Jackson's words, Lamar couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect Phil Jackson to say it so easily, could a player who was still playing for the team last season really be able to abandon so easily?

What happened to Phil Jackson next, Lamar didn't pay attention to at all.

Lamar called the flight attendant over, and after fulfilling the request for an autograph, Lamar asked for something to eat, and then picked up the latest sports newspaper, only to look at it, Lamar was stunned by the content.

"Lakers' main bench player - "Birdman" Anderson is suspected of taking illegal drugs and will face a ban

The long title made Lamar's mind go blank in an instant, suspected of taking illegal drugs, what could it be?

This kind of thing is too common among NBA players, how many people who play in the NBA have good backgrounds?

Most of them are people like AI and Anderson, who grew up in slums full of violent crime, drug addiction, and other crimes, and they have been exposed to the fact that every few of them can achieve success without losing themselves.

Just like Coleman, Sean Kemp, and the main power forward in the first dynasty of the Chicago Bulls, the veteran Grant who won the championship again with the Lakers this year, all got addicted to drugs after achieving some success.

But Lamar never imagined that such a thing would happen to him, and Anderson was his best friend on the Lakers team except for Chauncey. Anderson's experience filled Lamar's heart with disappointment and anger.

Originally, Lamar thought that he was 2 years earlier Anderson entered the NBA, so his life trajectory will also be changed, and he will no longer take drugs like before, but he didn't expect to embark on the old path of his previous life and detonate the incident 2 years early!

Shaq, who was sitting next to Lamar, saw Lamar's face change, and asked suspiciously, "Lamar! What's wrong with you? Are you too tired to fly a little more often lately?"

Lamar didn't say anything, and handed the newspaper directly to Shaq. All he could think about now was what he was going to do when he saw Anderson, and it looked like he was going to beat up this unpleasant guy again.

"Damn!" Shaq scolded and threw the newspaper on the ground with just one look, causing the people around him to turn their eyes to their small circle.

Phil Jackson also saw it, but he controlled his emotions and read the whole story.

"Oh my God, is Chris crazy? He just doesn't know what he's doing?"

Phil Jackson's anger was completely understandable, just now he was fantasizing about the dynasty that was born under him, but now he now has a high probability that he will lose one of his generals, and it is because of that general's drug use.

In fact, in Phil Jackson's heart, Anderson is not completely irreplaceable, at least during the period when Anderson was suspended at the beginning of last season, Grant had a very good performance in the bench interior position.

But the most critical problem is that Grant is too old now, and the decline in physical fitness makes the old guy still have this big gap compared to Anderson in interior defense.

And in Phil's plan, the team's main offense is basically launched on the outside except for Shaq's strong point, so Grant's offensive ability under the basket is not so important to the team, but now because of Anderson's own reasons, his plan has to be changed.

In addition, because the team has won the championship for 2 consecutive years, the league's attitude towards the Lakers has just eased, but once there is a drug incident, then the image of the previous team will be ruined.

"What's the use of saying that now?" Lamar had calmed himself down a little after the initial anger.

"Now we should be thinking about how to help Chris, not condemning his actions here, which doesn't make any sense at all. ”

"Help him?" Phil Jackson yelled, "Lamar! Are you crazy? Do you know what kind of mistake Chris made, and who can help him now?"

"But Chris contributed to the team's championship last season, so just because he made a mistake, shouldn't he be left alone?"

"What do you want me to do?"

Phil Jackson also lost control of his anger a little, "Lamar, I warn you, you'd better stay away from this and don't say anything, understand?"

Lamar now felt his heart full of disappointment, and he didn't expect Phil Jackson, who had always been his mentor, to say something like, "I can't do it when I watch Chris ruin himself." ”

"You'd better calm down now!" Shaq noticed that someone was already talking in their direction, and quickly stopped the two of them from arguing.

Then he said to Lamar, "Lamar, Chris is also my friend, and I am sorry that this happened to him! I am also very angry, and if that kid is standing in front of me now, I must teach him well." But we don't know the specifics yet. It's useless to say anything here! Let's talk about everything after we go back and understand what happened. ”

At this point, Lamar stopped talking, but he was starting to be a little disappointed with Phil Jackson's ruthless performance. In his opinion, when there is a problem with his own people, if he doesn't think about how to help his subordinates, but is in a hurry to clear up the relationship, then is such a head coach really worth following him?

And Lamar, who was already hesitant about his future, is now even more confused.

Anderson's home, Lamar, meets the already decadent Birdman. His hair was scattered, his eyes were sloppy, and his beard looked like he hadn't been tidy up for a long time. Anderson's whole person now feels very bad for Lamar, and Anderson's image is simply different from the image of Anderson who paid attention to himself at all times and took an hour to comb his hair.
