Chapter 567
At this time, the Knicks players wore uniform big sunglasses and the same dead faces, making them look cool, like super security guards in the movie. Huoran? Wen??? .?r a?n?en`org
The big fat man Darrell Morey, who followed the player, pouted unconvinced, and said to Van Gundy: "When I was younger, I was even more popular than him. ”
Van Gundy just smiled vigorously, he knew what he looked like. Van Gundy, who is self-aware, would not be stupid enough to steal the limelight with his players, and all he wants most now is to get to the hotel and get a good night's sleep. The more than three-hour flight made him feel a little tired.
Seeing that Van Gundy didn't speak, Darrell Morey thought that Van Gundy felt inferior when he saw his appearance, so he said even more stinkily: "Jeff, I don't think you should be inferior." Baldness is not your fault, you should open your mind and learn to take the initiative to communicate, instead of stuffing everything in your heart, which is not good. Too much worry can often make baldness worse. ”
Van Gundy grimaced, turned his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Darrell, what are you talking nonsense about this fat pig?"
"Ahh
Lamar heard the conversation between the two of them, pursed his lips and shook his head and smiled.
Finally, before the fanatical hurting fans surrounded them, the league staff who arrived first appeared, protecting the group and quickly passing through the security check. Out of the waiting hall, I got on the bus arranged by the alliance directly.
"What about those guys from the Houston Rockets?" Darrell Morey asked anxiously as soon as he got in the car, "It can't be that we are late, those guys have already left for another city, right?"
The staff hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, sir! There is absolutely nothing to do, they can be regarded as the host of Shanghai! Yaoming took his teammates out for a walk, and it is estimated that he will return to the hotel later." ”
Darrell Morey nodded: "That's right, then let's go to the hotel now, I'm tired these days." ”
I have to say that the alliance still attaches great importance to the fact that the Knicks and Houston are promoting activities in Shanghai, and they are all booked five-star hotels, and other supporting services are also very comprehensive.
When the Knicks and his party arrived at the hotel, they rushed into their respective rooms and fell asleep.
Three hours later, the Houston Rockets players also returned to the hotel and returned to their respective rooms to rest under the instructions of General Manager Mr. Dawson.
Early the next morning, Lamar took Wang Zhizhi and began training with his teammates.
Because Wang Zhizhi can also be regarded as Lamar's hand-picked person, plus Wang Zhibang is originally calm, kind, and very affinity, so the Knicks' starting five tigers are very friendly to this Chinese.
After a short strength workout, Dampoter suggested that everyone go outside for a walk. In the previous days when the Knicks were in Beijing, because there was no order from Darrell Morey and Van Gundy, everyone either slept in the hotel or sweated in the gym, and they didn't have a chance to have a good time.
Van Gundy knew that he simply explained and let him go, although he was a tyrant during training, but he was still the same as before when he left the training ground, very kind.
Although Wang Zhizhi wanted to rest, as the only Chinese in the team, he had to act as the team's guide. Besides, this is also a good opportunity to integrate into the team, and it is also a group activity, so Wang Zhizhi hesitated and followed.
There are many famous places in Shanghai, but the one that suits the Knicks is Nanjing Road, but it's not night, there are no fireworks or light shows, otherwise the scenery of the Bund at night is absolutely a must.
These NBA superstars, who are worth more than one billion yuan together, are going out to play, and the Shanghai Sports Bureau, as the reception, naturally has to send someone to follow. Although they are all more willing to go out freely on their own, don't say that the official does not agree, even the head coach Van Gundy can't pass this hurdle.
Along the way, fans who recognized them often ran over to watch the giants. If people don't recognize it, it's weird!
Asking for autographs and group photos! This did not affect everyone's interest in the slightest.
Damport, Houston, Billups, and Battier seem to be enjoying the treatment of such superstars, and they are happy to take photos with beautiful fans along the way.
Unlike his teammates, who like to collect some local handicrafts, Lamar is clearly more fond of Shanghai's specialty snacks, and he has to buy and taste any strange things he sees along the way.
Although it is just a personal hobby, in the eyes of the onlookers, Lamar has got a famous foodie who is easy to get close to!
Especially when the photo of Lamar bending over and standing on the side of the road holding a bamboo stick and eating octopus balls was uploaded online, it immediately made Lamar's popularity in China reach unparalleled. At the same time, the roadside shop patronized by Lamar suddenly became a famous brand on Nanjing Road, and the power of idols is really powerful.
"Hey, Lamar, don't eat all the time, come and see this. ”
As if he had found some treasure, Dampoter held up a Chinese pair Lamar and shouted, "It's a miracle, it's so beautiful! I'm going to buy a thousand and hang it all over my bedroom, what do you think?"
Lamar couldn't help but sweat and bought a thousand to hang all over the bedroom?
Before Lamar could speak, Dampot was already shouting at Wang Zhizhi: "Roughly, come and help me look at it, I speak English, he doesn't understand." ”
Wang Zhizhi looked at Lamar and smiled, and walked over helplessly to do it.
Lamar was happy to see this, at least his teammates didn't ostracize Wang Zhizhi because he was Chinese. With Dampotter by his side, Lamar believes that Wang Zhizhi should be able to integrate into the team as soon as possible.
In the end, under the persuasion of Wang Zhizhi, Dampotter reluctantly bought only a hundred.
The stall owner's eyes became extremely resentful when he looked at Wang Zhizhi, maybe he was still thinking in his mind: "They are all compatriots, how can they help outsiders?"
Crossing the Huangpu River, their group finally arrived in front of the Oriental Pearl Tower. With the permission of the management, they took the elevator halfway up and pedaled to the top of the tower on foot.
It's just that it is indeed difficult for a strong man to let the giant climb such a high building, and by the time he reached the top of the building, everyone except Lamar was already sitting on the ground staggered.
In fact, Lamar was also tired enough, especially the injuries on his body were numb from such a large amount of exercise. It's just that compared to the temptation of the legendary view of Shanghai, this exhaustion is nothing.
Standing by the window and looking into the distance, the whole of Shanghai is at Lamar's feet.
Lamar loved the feeling of being on the verge of a panoramic view of the mountains, and even though it was late, the lights were still lit up below, indicating the prosperity of Shanghai.
Lamar had never been to Shanghai in his previous life, and he didn't know much about night Shanghai. The only way to know about it was through TV news, but unfortunately he rarely watched that thing, and all he knew was some lace news.
Now that he was there, Lamar felt that there was a sick abnormality everywhere in this place. Everything here is trying its best to imitate Europe, America and Japan, but the traditional Chinese culture with strong vitality in its bones is fighting hard, making it not Chinese and foreign.
After standing for half an hour, Lamar lost the interest in continuing to play. The others were already as tired as dead dogs, and the group took the elevator downstairs and drove back to the hotel.
When he returned to the hotel, it was already past twelve o'clock in the evening, and Van Gundy naturally had to nag a few words, but for the sake of everyone not drinking, he didn't get angry.
After a night's rest, Lamar woke up the next day and felt a little sore backache.
It seems that it is really harmful to be able to climb the stairs yesterday! When Lamar went out to the hall where the team gathered, he realized that the big guys were all the same, that is, Sean Battier, who had rested for several months and was extremely energetic, was slightly better.
Seeing that his players had become this kind of cowardly appearance overnight, Van Gundy's face immediately darkened. If he hadn't made sure that Lamar and Wang Zhizhi, two players who had no interest in hunting Yan, had gone out with him last night, he would have suspected that all these people under him were going to do something unhealthy.
After asking what had happened, Van Gundy couldn't help but pull everyone to his side and give him a lecture.
Fortunately, the exchange with the Shanghai Oriental Sharks is scheduled for tomorrow night, otherwise, the Knicks will definitely leave an extremely bad impression on the other party in such a state!
Van Gundy learned from the league that the Houston Rockets communicated with Shanghai the day before yesterday with full sincerity. Not only did the whole team go out, but all the players were in good spirits.
As the saying goes, it's better than not knowing, and you're afraid of comparing goods!
Now that the Knicks have only six players on their trip to Asia, most of the rest are in New York for training, which is a bit rude. If the Knicks and other players were to participate in the exchange with a sluggish state during the exchange between the two sides, what would the Chinese side think?
The accompanying team doctor quickly helped each player massage and relax their muscles, and then Darrell Morey went out in a hurry to discuss with the league officials whether they could cancel this morning's open training session.
But how could things be so easy? Shanghai spent a lot of money to win this opportunity from so many cities in China, and the Shanghai Oriental Television Station also had to shoot with the team.
If the training is canceled at this time, don't say that the league doesn't understand him, and the wealthy Shanghai Oriental TV will not let him go, even the anger of the fans who spent money to buy tickets can burn him.
