The previous torchbearer arrived, holding the torch high and approaching Lamar, who instinctively wanted to dodge, but his body was not controlled at all.

Eyes staring at the torch, for a second, two seconds, the torch was not lit. The staff at the scene were also a little panicked and hurried over to check the torch in Lamar's hand.

In fact, Lamar cared very much about the identity of the torchbearer, and he cared very much about it! From the day he received the notice, he began to lose sleep. Damn, can't it just go a little better?

Eventually, the staff found out what the problem was, it turned out that Lamar's torch was not turned on at all, that is, the fuel system did not start supplying. Unless Lamar had a torch in his hand, it would have been impossible for the titanium thing to ignite.

The switch was flipped and Lamar's torch was finally lit. Lamar's nervous mood calmed down at the moment when the torch was lit, there was no nervousness, only excitement remained.

With a high-five of the torchbearers who had passed the flame to him, Lamar turned and ran forward with the torch escort.

Lamar felt like his chest was going to explode, and he was so excited, so excited. This time it was a completely different feeling from winning the championship before, and it was not the same feeling as when I was celebrating the parade after that, it was just excitement and excitement, and this time there was a little more pride.

It may be difficult for others to understand what the excited expression on Lamar's face was about as he ran forward, and the shouts on both sides became more and more enthusiastic, and many people ran after Lamar outside the guardrail with national flags.

Of course, there is no shortage of star-chasers everywhere, and the cameras on both sides are constantly flashing, as if they are going to blind Lamar's eyes.

Lamar had tried his best to control his speed and try to keep the feeling going a little longer, but the 400-metre race was over. Passing the flame to the next Olympic torchbearer, Lamar ended his mission.

As soon as Lamar arrived, he was immediately surrounded by reporters.

"Lamar, how did you feel just now? Seeing your expression is very excited, can you describe how you are feeling right now?"

Lamar solemnly put the torch away: "Very excited! Yes! Very excited! It's an amazing feeling, I can't really describe it." If I have to say something, I just want to say that if I can, I hope it's a little longer. ”

Ending his mission, Lamar got into a car that had been prepared long ago. The person waiting in the car was Danny Fagan. Not long after firing Faulkel, an inhumane agent, many famous agents approached Lamar, and finally Lamar chose to work in Fagan.

"Danny, it's amazing that I became a torchbearer in the Holy Land of the Olympic Games. I felt like I was dreaming, do I want to see it? This is the torch!"

Danny Fagan glanced at Lamar and said after a while, "Lamar, I don't want to spoil your fun, but you'd better call Jeff back now, I think this is better for you!"

When Lamar heard this, his face, which was still very excited, immediately collapsed. Jeff Van Gundy's name is the last thing he wants to hear lately.

Originally, after the trip to China, Lamar was supposed to go to New York to meet Van Gundy and others. But because he was discovered by Chinese fans in advance, Lamar had to take the unfinished Vanessa to Europe.

Unexpectedly, half of Europe turned down, and the originally agreed meeting time was postponed for nearly three months. Although neither Van Gundy, Lamar nor Morey think that the Knicks, who have maintained almost all of last season's main players, will face any challenges in the new season, there are also people in the seemingly harmonious Knicks camp who have jumped out to criticize Lamar's behavior.

The first Lamar to attack was Charles Dolan, the son of Knicks owner James Dolan. Charles Dolan, who had been trying to take the reins of the Knicks from his father, publicly accused Lamar of being disorganized and undisciplined at a Knicks executive meeting.

In fact, when Charles Dolan first appeared in the Knicks management, he was always like a good baby who was sent down to gild, and he was always smiling and welcoming. But no one knew that under Charles's seemingly kind smile, there was a huge ambition lurking.

The reason why he turned a blind eye to the moves of the Knicks management before was just that Charles Dolan was not sure. Charles Dolan, who grew up beside James Dolan, has been exposed to it, and of course he knows what it means to plan and then act!

After all, the entire Knicks relied on Lamar at that time, and Lamar had just won the championship, and his reputation among fans was skyrocketing. If he jumped out and fought against Lamar at that time, he would definitely die an ugly death.

Originally, Charles Dolan thought that he would be dormant for a long time, but who knew that Lamar was so generous and exposed such a big flaw so quickly.

Although the Knicks' team knows how important Lamar is to the Knicks, sometimes, the root of people's inferiority is like this, especially for those celebrities, it is easy to be put on a big hat.

As the current vice president of the Knicks, Charles Dolan, who has already made a name for himself in the Knicks, is naturally qualified to fire Lamar about Lamar's non-return to participate in the team's preparation plan for the new season, and this is what Lamar himself agrees.

"Lamar's behavior is really a bit excessive! He should have figured out that he agreed to participate in the team's preparation plan, not that the Knicks forced it. ”

'When he makes any decisions, it's better to think about whether what he's doing will hurt the team's interests. Now, I can responsibly say that Lamar's unorganized, undisciplined and untrustworthy behavior has done a disservice to the team. ”

"Yes! He's bringing a championship to the Knicks! He's unparalleled importance to the Knicks, but he's a little flustered now, and he thinks he can be unscrupulous if he achieves a little bit! Now that the preseason is about to start and the rest of the team is coming back to practice, shouldn't Lamar lead by example as captain and team leader?"

"I think everyone here should think carefully about whether we should still give Lamar so many privileges!"

Charles Dolan's words were very harsh, and at once set Lamar into an unscrupulous megalomaniac after achieving something!

Unfortunately, Charles Dolan overestimated his influence in the Knicks and also underestimated Lamar's prestige among the Knicks. His remarks didn't attract much attention from executives at the Knicks' executive conference.

Now, the vast majority of the Knicks, up and down, are used to believing Lamar. For Charles Dolan's sudden rabies attack, these guys simply chose to ignore it.

For Lamar to change the originally planned itinerary without authorization, Van Gundy is also very angry. Lamar's refusal to return to the team completely disrupted the Knicks' plan.

With less than a month to go until the start of the pre-season, Lamar has no plans to return from Europe. Van Gundy's original training plan was completely centered on Lamar, and if Lamar did not return, his tactical training plan could not be carried out.

As a result, Van Gundy can only continue to train physically these days, and train his muscles to become stronger and stronger. Especially Dampot, that kid can go to bodybuilding competitions.

Time passed day by day, and Lamar's return was still far away. Van Gundy was so anxious that he had to eat more than 30 catties of gunpowder every day, in addition to exercising like crazy, the players under his hands were idle and scolded, and there was only one target of attack, which was naturally Lamar.

However, when facing the media, Van Gundy is still doing his best to protect his players. After all, Lamar is the indispensable leader of the Knicks, and his prestige in the team cannot be provoked.

"I don't think Mr. Charles's accusations against Lamar are justified at all. Lamar didn't really come back to practice with the whole team, but for good reason. ”

"After a long season, it's time to spend some time with my family in the offseason and recover my overdrawn body. I don't think Mr. Charles understands the hardships of NBA players very well, that's why he said that. Anyway, I'm in favor of Lamar's choice. ”

"And I don't think it makes a difference if Lamar doesn't come back for the training camp, our starting line-up from last season has been preserved, and it goes without saying that we have a good understanding with each other. And Lamar is a team player, the best leader, I believe in his ability, and as soon as he comes back, no matter what time it is, he will be able to integrate into this team as quickly as possible! ”

After Van Gundy said these disobedient words to the Knicks executives present, he couldn't help but slap himself several times when he turned back to the training ground, and then frantically recited the three-character sutra to the little wooden man engraved with Lamar's name.

I believe that if there was such a thing as a curse in this world, Lamar would have been thundered by the sky a long time ago.

When Lamar returned, it was August 16th, nearly a month before the start of the preseason, and the 2004 NBA Draft had ended, and even the player transfer market had opened.

The reason why Lamar came back so late was because Vanessa insisted on going to the Maldives after her trip to Europe. Lamar originally disagreed, but considering the debt to Vanessa over the years, he finally reluctantly agreed to Vanessa's request.

So, Lamar reluctantly appeared on the island of Lunshu in the Maldives under the leadership of Vanessa.
