Chapter 308: Shaq's Sincerity
When Miranda walked in, Lamar knew that their fate was likely to end there, and Lamar didn't regret it. www.biquge.info He knew that they were living in different worlds, and for him, Miranda could only be a sustenance of his most simple feelings. And it definitely can't be the whole of his love life.
Especially when Lamar realized that he and Kardashian were not equal to each other's dedication before, he looked forward to being with his future girlfriend with all his heart.
"Jeff, help me talk to Victoria's Secret about giving a girl named Miranda Kerr a chance at this year's Victoria's Secret show!"
When he returned to the attic, Falker was gone, and on the table was a letter he had left behind, telling him to go back as soon as possible and make a decision about his future, and that a man would come to him tomorrow, and he did not mention who he was.
It's just that what Lamar didn't expect was that when he opened the door the next day, the person standing in front of his door would actually be Shaq, looking at him with a tired look, Lamar knew that he must have rushed over overnight.
"Big guy! Did Falker tell you?"
Lamar welcomed Shaq into the small building, and Shun made a reassuring gesture to the landlord who was looking around not far away, no wonder the landlord was worried, compared with the well-mannered Falker in a suit and leather shoes, Shaq was really not a good person, and Shaq was covered with tattoos all over his body.
Shaq didn't answer immediately, but looked at the small building where Lamar lived: "It's hard to imagine that you would live in such a place, but compared to the slum house I lived in when I was a child, this place is quite luxurious." ”
Regarding Shaq's situation when he was a child, Lamar, as his good brother, is naturally clear.
While lamenting the tragic fate of most black people when they were children, Lamar also deeply felt the greatness of his mother!
So every time I see Shaq's mother, Lamar is very respectful.
"It's true that Falker told me that he did a good thing, right?" Shaq leaned against the edge of the table, looking at Lamar, "I thought you would go to those resorts and have a good rest, but I didn't expect you to come to China." When Falker told me, I couldn't believe it. I've been to Australia once. It's a good place, it's not as developed compared to the United States, but I like the people here. ”
Hearing Shaq say this, Lamar remembered that Falker was not only his agent, but also Shaq's agent.
Lamaro smiled and said, "Damn, I told him not to tell anyone." I'm going back tomorrow!"
"When you go back, does it mean that the Lakers have become your memory? Seeing what Lamar was about to say, Shaq waved his hand to stop him, "Don't deny it, Lamar! Although we haven't been together for a long time, I know you very well, and if you really want to stay with the Lakers, after we win the championship, you will definitely tell reporters that next season we will start building our dynasty." But, if you didn't say it, I knew what you thought. ”
Lamar couldn't help but feel helpless and said, "Shaq, I'm sorry, I don't want to lie to you! I do want to leave the Lakers, but the reason is not you." ”
"Why?" Shaq's emotions suddenly became very excited, "Is the Lakers really just a springboard in your heart, or can it only be a testing ground for you to test your strength?"
"No! Shak!" Lamar felt that he was misunderstood by Shak, and his emotions became irritable, "I never thought like this, but, Shak! Have you ever thought that I can't see the future at all if I stay with the Lakers, Dr. Buss has said that I can only be an accessory next to Kobe Bryant forever!"
"Those Lakers fans are just cheering for you, they just believe in you, they feel like you're the only one who can lead them to victory. Forget it, your strength is there, I can accept it! When you were injured, I had done my best, but I still lost three games in a row. They put all the blame on me, thinking that it was because of me that the team lost, so why didn't they blame Kobe? Wasn't he on the court at the time?"
Shaq looked at Lamar as if he was going crazy, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Lamar! I never knew there was so much going on here." The fans misunderstand you and you can prove to them that if you leave now, they will treat you like a traitor. ”
"I don't care!" Lamar had made up his mind now, originally a little hesitant because of Shaq's relationship, but now he understood that what he needed was nothing else, a more relaxed stage!
This stage must be centered on him, and on this stage he is the only king.
"I'm sorry for you, I thought we'd always be good partners and win a lot of championships together, but now I'm going to break my promise and I'm going to leave the Lakers! ”
"Do you really think so?" the door was opened, and it was actually his head coach, Mr. Phil Jackson, who appeared in front of Lamar.
At the first sight of Phil Jackson, Lamar suddenly felt a sense of guilt, and he will never forget how excited Lamar was when Phil Jackson took him home and told him that he was going to create a big scene with him with the championship trophy and championship ring on the bookshelf.
It can be said that in addition to all the coaches he met in his previous life, Phil Jackson gave him the greatest trust, in order to make him succeed, he even spared no effort to hit the Kobe faction in the team, and then signed Anderson, Chauncey Billups, and Grant recommended by Lamar into the team one by one.
But now, when the future Lamar team is about to take shape, Lamar is actually leaving.
Phil Jackson had just heard Lamar's words outside, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment in his heart. Originally, he discussed with Shaq that if Shaq couldn't convince Lamar, Phil Jackson would come out and persuade him.
But now Fei'er couldn't wait any longer, pushed open the door and asked Lamar very excitedly.
"Coach, I!" Lamar now faces the emotional Phil Jackson, not only has a feeling of indescribability, but he may also feel guilty in his heart.
"Why do you have to leave the Lakers, you can still have the most success here. ”
Shaq followed suit: "Lamar, why are you in such a hurry to be the boss of a team now, stay with the Lakers, and the future here is yours." ”
When Lamar heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Shaq! Even if you are willing to hand over the team to me at that time, I won't be the boss of the team! Kobe Bryant, in the eyes of Dr. Buss and Jerry West, the future of the Lakers is Kobe's. ”
This time it was Shaq's turn to be silent, it was indeed like Lamar said, he couldn't change the decision of Dr. Bass and Jerry West, and when the time came, he was willing to hand over the baton of power, and it would not be Lamar who would take over the baton.
Shaq is also struggling fiercely in his heart, and now let him put pressure on the team to choose Lamar, he will definitely not be able to do it! Not to mention whether the Lakers senior management will care about their own will!
"Lamar, stay and help me, I'll lead this team with you! I'll talk to Dr. Bass. ”
Shaq's words stunned the other two people in the room, Shaq actually said that he wanted to share the rights of the team with Lamar, and he would discuss with Dr. Buss for Lamar! This also means that Shaq may offend the Lakers' top brass because of this.
Lamar knew that this was the biggest concession Shaq could make, but he still stubbornly shook his head: "Shaq! you can share the rights with me, but the team's management is not sincere to me at all, do you know what price they offered me? I am not a person who takes money very seriously, but I hope to get a position that matches my efforts." ”
Shaq nodded and said: "Of course, the price they gave is indeed too low, but the sincerity given by those teams chasing you, it is obvious that the Lakers can't get it! Seven and five million, this is already the most I can fight for you, as long as you stay, we will do a great job together." I'm willing to lower my salary! Give me another three years, and then the team will be yours, and I'm willing to give way. But you also have to give me the opportunity to create brilliance!"
"Shaq!
Shaq interrupted Lamar: "Lamar, I think I know better than you how precious money is." But now there is something more important in my heart than money, the Lakers have given me everything, but I really give them too little in return, and I need your help. So I can win more credit for the city!"
Lamar felt that he was now simply a villain who took advantage of others, and he was indeed too petty compared to Shaq, and his original firm determination was shaken by Shaq's words.
Stay? or leave?
Lamar's heart also had doubts, since Shaq was able to make such a big sacrifice for the city, why did he still insist on what status and power he wanted?
"Stay and help me, it's just three years! After that, the Lakers will be yours!"
It was the first time in Shaq's life that he had made a plea to someone, and the proud man even bowed his head for thirty years.
Lamar didn't promise anything to Phil. He felt like a mess in his mind right now, and he hadn't focused on his future at all. For the first time in his life, he felt an urgent need for advice to make the right choice.
The first thing he thought of was his uncle Jonathan, and as for his aunt, he knew that she would support him no matter what his decision was! So his trip to China had to end early.
Lamar didn't say goodbye to Miranda when he left, and since it was just a good encounter, Lamar didn't want to dwell too much! If the two could meet again in the future, Lamar would prefer to continue the relationship between the two as good friends. (To be continued.) )
