Chapter 869

It took a long time for the person on the other side of the phone to calm the anger in his heart, and this was probably the first time that Larry Brown had been ignored since he entered the industry??? ?Ranwen ? ??? This feeling made the famous coach really want to drag Lamar over and beat him up, so that he will never forget who Larry Brown is for the rest of his life.

"I'm Larry Brown, the current head coach of the Pistons, and the head coach of the U.S. national men's basketball team next year. ”

Larry Brown has long known about Larry Brown's appointment as the coach of the national team, and what makes Lamar wonder is what is the matter with this old guy coming to him at this time? Can this guy really let go of his prejudices against himself and ask himself to join the national team? Even if he wants Lamar to do so, this year's national team is a big hole, and he will definitely not be able to climb out of it, and maybe he will be ruined.

"Oh, what's the matter with you calling me so late?"

From the other end of the phone, Larry Brown didn't hear the slightest emotion, and his heart suddenly felt depressed. You have to know how to say that he is also a big man in the basketball world, and he is also the incoming head coach of the national team, shouldn't he have a little reverence for himself if he is a young man?

However, thinking of his task today, Larry Brown could only calm the small universe that was about to burn: "Lamar, I called you today because of a very important matter to discuss. ”

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm tired and I'm going to fall asleep!" Lamar was disgusted by this way of talking in circles, and the only good feelings he had for Larry Brown were gone.

Larry Brown choked up, and began to regret calling Lamar. However, when he thought of the team of his dreams, he still endured it and decided to get straight to the point: "Are you interested in joining the dream team?"

Lamar sat up suddenly, and he couldn't tell what kind of emotion he was feeling.

"Dream team, are you sure you want me to go?"

Lamar knows very well what the relationship between himself and Larry Brown is, but Lamar, who is unruly and arrogant, will never give in to the other party for a place in the national team. Larry Brown also knows that a player like Lamar would never grovel to himself for a national team spot.

If that's the case, why would Larry Brown let himself go to the Dream Team? Lamar was lost in thought for a moment.

"That's right, this time I'm going to put together the strongest team in history, a division of kings that even the Dream Team can't match. In that case, I have to have you on my team, the best player in the NBA at the moment and the best player in NBA history!"

"Lamar, I'm not complimenting you, anyone in the Dream Seven team can be missing, but you can't be missing. If you say yes, you're going to be the center of the team, and you're going to be the number one person in this team. ”

"Will you change your defensive tactics for me?" Lamar asked, uncertain.

As long as you can join the national team, anything is negotiable!"

Larry Brown's words suddenly made Lamar moved, and became the core of the Dream Seven team, which is possible, thinking about the members of the national team in the previous life, except for Tim and AI, there seems to be no one more qualified to play this role than himself. But thinking about the record of the Dream Seven team in the previous life, it is definitely a huge challenge for Lamar!

"Lamar, you've already won the gold medal at the Sydney Olympics, but you were just a supporting actor that time, don't you want to be the leader of the dream team like Jordan and lead the team to the highest stage in the world?"

"This time I invited a lot of people, of course, not all of them agreed, but there are still a lot of stars who have already agreed to go to Athens, Greece for the Olympics, Tim Duncan, Alan Iverson, Stephen Marbury, LeBron James, Elton Brand and so on. How about Lamar, how about we go to Greece together?"

The picture that Larry Brown painted did make Lamar a little cautious, but when he thought of the experience of the Dream Seven Team in his previous life, Lamar's heart was still a little worried. Lamar is weighing the pros and cons, although the lineup of the Dream Seven team can be regarded as star-studded, but there are big loopholes, Lamar does not think that his addition can change the fate of the Dream Seven team. But it doesn't seem good to refuse directly without thinking about it now, after all, Larry Brown is also a famous coach, and he can be regarded as very polite to himself if he can invite himself to join the national team in a low voice.

"Mr. Larry Brown, I think I still need to think about it, I can't give you an answer to this matter right now!"

Seeing Lamar's hesitation, Larry Brown's heart breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the pressure of public opinion and the American leadership, Larry Brown would never have bowed to Lamar, and Lamar was not his favorite player.

But looking at the players he contacted, Larry Brown felt a wave of frustration, and Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant had also rejected him in the same way as Lamar. Larry Brown also knew that Americans were very indifferent to national honor, and he had no choice but to hang up the phone after saying a few more words.

The invitation to the American Dream Seven team put Lamar in a dilemma for the first time since he was reborn. Originally, he thought that he would refuse without hesitation when he received such an invitation, but when this day really came, he didn't know what to do.

At the Sydney Olympics, he was still cheering to be selected for the national team, and while winning the championship, he also regretted that he was not the leader of the team. Now that an opportunity to go to Greece and become the leader of the U.S. team to the Olympics was in front of him, he didn't know what to choose.

"Lamar, do you have something on your mind?"

Vanessa was a little worried when she saw that Lamar had become silent after answering a phone call. Walking up to Lamar, Vanessa asked softly by holding Lamar's arm.

Lamar pressed Vanessa's hand, and then opened his heart to Vanessa: "Vanessa, I am now facing a choice, I want to hear your opinion!"

Seeing that Lamar said so solemnly, Vanessa also sat down beside Lamar: "Okay!

"Vanessa, I want to ask you a question first. ”

"Just ask!"

Lamar pondered his words for a moment before cautiously asking, "Vanessa, if you are also an athlete, there is an opportunity to participate in the Olympics in front of you now." You know that the Olympics is a stage for an athlete to show themselves, and countless athletes in this world want to participate in that event. If you knew you weren't going to win, would you still be there?"

Vanessa frowned and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Lamar, why do you ask?"

Apparently Vanessa didn't understand what Lamar meant, and of course she didn't know what was going on in Lamar's head.

"Answer me first, Vanessa!"

Vanessa thought for a moment and said, "How do you know that the championship doesn't belong to you before you participate? What is the competitive spirit of sports? Faster, higher and stronger, the emphasis is on participation, never give up, never get discouraged, never bow your head! You must know that a world event like the Olympic Games has so many top athletes from so many countries participating, but there is only one champion in each event, and many people know that they can't get the championship, so why do they still participate? Because the harvest is always for those who are prepared!"

"You haven't tried it yet, how do you know that you won't win the championship? Create miracles, that's the charm of sports! I also know the recent rumors, Lamar, the American team doesn't want you, you just join other countries' teams, kill those who look down on you! Anyway, many countries now have dual adult citizenship. You don't have to think about it. ”

Seeing Vanessa's chattering and talking, Lamar knew that he was asking in vain. It is getting more and more nonsense to be pulled by Vanessa to change nationality, of course! For a Mexican girl, their concept of country is very indifferent, and in their consciousness there is no difference between Mexicans and Americans.

But Lamar couldn't tell Vanessa his secret, and even if he told Vanessa that he was born again, the question was whether Vanessa would believe it? Maybe she would treat him as a psychopath and pull him to the doctor.

At this time, Jonathan ran up in a hurry, and without knocking on the door, he pushed the door directly. Jonathan's reckless behavior startled both of them, and Lamar was about to blame his uncle, but he didn't expect Jonathan to suddenly run over with an excited face, and pull Lamar up with a strong hug.

"Lamar, this is simply amazing! I knew there would be such a day, the Olympics! When the time comes, our whole family will definitely go to Greece to cheer you on, and by the way, I can take your aunt to enjoy the charm of the sea of love." ”

At first, Lamar was still puzzled, and he didn't know what happened until Jonathan finished speaking, and asked strangely, "Jonathan, that old man of Rally Brown just called me, how do you know?"

It turned out that when Larry Brown called Lamar, the U.S. Olympic Organizing Committee had announced a roster of up to 40 members of the Dream Seven team, including Lamar's name. Of course, this list can only be regarded as a review list, and the real list will not be announced until the end of this season's NBA, after all, there will be some people in the dream team who announce their rejection of the game for various reasons in every quarter.

Lamar didn't expect Larry Brown to start so quickly, and put his name on the call-up list without waiting for his reply, and also announced that this year's Dream Team will use him as the core to designate tactics.

Lamar wanted to call Larry Brown and question him, but after all, this was only a big list, and there were only twelve people who could be shortlisted at that time, and Lamar could completely refuse. But the question is, looking at Jonathan's excited appearance now, can he still refuse?
