Chapter 248: Fix the Army's Heart
Anderson has recently been practicing under-the-basket hook shooting under the guidance of Lamar and Rodman, and he has always felt like a coolie under the basket and has rough skills.
Anderson's movements were not only clumsy, but also hilarious, and the rest of the team had already been amused by his antics before they leaned back, only Lamar looked at him with a helpless expression. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Chris, Dennis and I have taught you countless times that the palm of your hand should not be so stiff, and it should be soft, like drawing a parabola in the air, but it is not difficult at all. ”
With that, Lamar reached out to Anderson for the ball, received the ball and slammed it sideways into him, then took a step back laterally, and calmly hit the ball into the basket with a small hook hand.
"Look! It's that simple!"
In his previous life, Lamar played in any position in the team, and the center was no exception, his basket skills and back singles ability were not bad, and now he was reborn and worked harder to exercise his basket skills, such as hook hands This kind of skill should be mastered by every interior player, Lamar of course trained well.
Anderson tried again, although the ball went in, but the action was still very stiff, he saw Lamar still shook his head, puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?
Lamar said helplessly: "Although it is in, but now this is practice, and there is no one to defend you, like the ball you just thrown, the height of the shot is too low, it is estimated that even Boykins can cover you." ”
"Forget it!"
Anderson said as he took the ball, made a dunk under the basket, and said to Lamar with a smile after landing on the ground: "I'm still more used to doing this than shooting like that." ”
Lamar thought about it for a while and gave up, after all, there are only a few days left before the start of the playoffs, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to complete the transformation of the weakest link of the team's offense in these days, and it seems that he is too eager for quick success.
"Lamar, you say we have a good chance of winning against the Hornets. Anderson asked.
"How much?"
Lamar dribbled the ball briskly and hit a jumper: "100 percent, of course." ”
Lamar was surrounded by a crowd of reporters as soon as he walked out of the arena after practice, and he is now the darling of the media, and his attention in the United States has not dropped since the final game against the Clippers.
"Lamar is about to start the first game against the Charlotte Hornets, how sure are you about the first round of the playoffs, and how many games will you use to end the Hornets' playoff journey?"
Lamar said as he walked to his car: "What are the odds of winning? You should ask God, not me, I don't want to comment on the game yet!"
Lamar's answer surprised the reporters, who wondered why he seemed to have retreated a lot since Christmas, and of course it was impossible for reporters to know why.
All they know is that Lamar has relented, which has cost them a lot of news material, although this guy is still stubborn at times and will stir up some moments, like he taught Charles Barkley at the Clippers' home court the other day.
But in the end, Lamar is still a lot more honest, which is not a good sign! Especially the question he just answered, it is not decent, based on the public's understanding of Lamar: Lamar should first laugh three times as if no one was around, then belittle the Wasp as worthless, and finally announce that he will sweep his opponent in the first round, and it is better to give him his troublesome middle finger to the camera! If only this would be perfect.
A reporter saw that Lamar was about to get into the car, and hurriedly shouted!
"Lamar, you mean you don't have confidence in the first round against the Hornets, do you?"
Lamar stopped his movements, looked at the reporter who was proud of his provocative method, and suddenly sneered!
"I know what you're paying attention to, and I'm well aware of the difference in strength between the Hornets and us, but if I don't say it, I just want to see you guys uncomfortable and dissatisfied. ”
After saying that, Lamar got into the car directly and drove away.
Not confident in the game against the Hornets? What an international joke!
At the same time, Davis, who is far away in New Orleans, is also being interviewed by reporters, and he is much more cooperative than Lamar.
"Yes, our playoff tickets are thrilling, and it's a great holiday gift for New Orleans fans, after all, we just moved here from Charlotte this year! Why not?! We have reason to fight for that highest honor, and I believe my team has that quality. The Lakers are a good opponent, they are very strong, Kobe Bryant has always been a difficult guy, Lamar, and it is very surprising! His rookie season was perfect, much better than my rookie season, he is a complete phenomenon, yes! An unreasonable phenomenon, if it is the first time to watch the NBA, you will think that he is an old bird who has played for many years. It's a shame we missed out on the biggest pearl in the draft. ”
"What? I'm not going to thank him, the last game won't have any impact on the Lakers' rankings! But I think it's the responsibility of the professional players to play every game, just like we beat the Pistons in the last game, it was our own hard work, and if we lose the last game, then the Lakers will win the Clippers by 100 points, and we won't make the playoffs. Against the Lakers, we'll do our best to go far in the playoffs. ”
Lamar saw Davis' words on TV the day before the game, when the whole team was in the team's strategy room. Lamar didn't say anything after reading it, just smiled indifferently.
Shaq looked at Lamar and asked, "How do you feel after hearing this Humpty Dumpty?"
"Nothing new. ”
Lamar turned off the TV: "I will prove that no matter how hard he tries, he can't make up for the difference in quality between the two teams, we are a real strong team, winning is a matter of course, and they should be satisfied if they can enter the playoffs." ”
"Then you think we're going to use a couple of games to get Byron to go on holiday early. Shaq asked with a smile, he looked like a journalist now.
"Four games are enough. ”
Lamar replied without any leeway, "Also, Shaq, I have to warn you that we didn't send him on vacation in advance, in fact he was already late for his vacation! “
On the evening of April 20, 2001, the Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles was packed!
Before the game began, the audience had already tossed in advance, and everyone swayed their bodies to the cheerleaders dancing in the center of the field.
There was no suspense at all in this game for them, and no one would think that their team would lose at home to the Hornets, who had been bullied by them for a season, and winning would not be a problem. The difference is just how much to win, or how long it takes to get this game into garbage time. As for losing, the kind of fart that only comes out when Barkley's idle egg hurts, even on April Fool's Day, can only be a very rubbish joke.
In the Lakers' locker room, Phil Jackson flashed after completing the tactical arrangements before last night's game! Even Phil felt that this game was not difficult at all, and it didn't matter to him how many points he won, he only cared about how much rest the main players such as Shaq, Lamar and Kobe Bryant could get.
It was Shaq's turn again, and Lamar watched with a little envy as he made his blood-boiling pre-war speeches to everyone.
Originally, he wasn't interested in the position Shaq was standing in now, but when Shaq was out and Kobe Bryant was injured, he was a little hooked on that feeling after he was the team's interim boss for a few days.
Holding a team firmly in his hands and becoming a symbol of the team, like a stripped beauty, seducing him all the time. He is now less and less satisfied with the second or third position of the team, and he used to stubbornly believe that as long as Kobe can give him a little time in possession, he will be willing to stay in Los Angeles, but now he feels that he is very likely to not be able to do it.
"Don't listen to those people outside, the fact that the Hornets have existed in the alliance to this day shows that they have a strong place. None of the teams in this league are easy to bully, remember their last game? The Detroit Pistons who made us suffer so much were like a little girl by our opponent today. Therefore, today we must not underestimate them, from the beginning of the game, everyone must immediately get into the state, there can be no slack, break them in the first quarter, let them know that if they want to enter the next round, it is not enough to work hard, in the end, who can have the last laugh, or should talk about strength. ”
Maybe when Shaq said this, he was also thinking in his heart, Wasp is a fart!
But as the captain, Shaq has an obligation to stand up and remind his teammates not to take the enemy lightly. It is as if the United States is always encouraging the proliferation of nuclear weapons, but at the same time prohibiting some countries from using nuclear energy peacefully. It's the same with Shaq, he can not take the wasps seriously, but others cannot.
When the players from both sides entered, the Lakers players were naturally treated like heroes, and this season they brought too many happy things to Los Angeles fans, especially Lamar, whose amazing performance like a god had already conquered the hearts of Los Angeles people, when he walked into the arena before Kobe and Shaq, the audience instantly burst into amazing cheers, and even to some extent the same as Shaq, of course, compared to the handsome Kobe Bryant is still slightly inferior.
