"Lamar, I bet my faith, you're going to be more than Russell, no! you're going to be more than everybody, the person that other players can always look up to. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lamar listened calmly: "Phil, are you interested in becoming the most successful coach in the NBA?

Phil Jackson was stunned for a moment, but after understanding what he meant, he smiled: "Of course! ”

"Thank you!"

"Lamar, come to my house today, I have something to show you. ”

Lamar looked at him and asked, "What is it?"

Phil Jackson smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when you arrive." ”

In Phil Jackson's study, Lamar saw the championship trophy symbolizing the NBA's highest honor up close for the first time, not a row of glittering trophies, so Lamar couldn't help but want to touch it.

Phil Jackson took one of the trophies off the shelf and handed it to Lamar: "This is what I got when I was a player, I was playing in New York at the time, isn't it beautiful, although this is just a replica, but it is one of the most precious things in my life! Many players may not have the opportunity to hold it up with their own hands in their lives, and I am lucky because I met a genius at that time!"

"But I've been luckiest in my coaching career, you know, I met that guy!"

Lamar nodded.

'He was a real genius and no one was his opponent in that era, not even Olajuwon. Phil Jackson said, pointing to the trophy in Lamar's hand and saying, "Lamar, you are also a unique genius, and you will fill your room in the future." ”

Lamar gently stroked the trophy, raised his head and said seriously, "I will." ”

Phil Jackson smiled, he thought Lamar's serious appearance was cute: "Do you know what you lack the most? ”

"What?" Lamar wasn't very clear about his shortcomings. As the saying goes, the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused!

But Phil Jackson shook his head: "There are many players in the league who are strong in offense but poor in defense, because defense is not something that can be practiced overnight! Of course, it also requires talent like offense." What you're really lacking right now is that you don't have the heart to be the boss, or you don't know how to be the leader of a team right now, or you're suppressing your desire to be a leader. ”

Lamar can't refute Phil Jackson's work, he is right, he is indeed suppressing that desire! Lamar doesn't want to be it, but he can't be it!

The reason is very simple, it is Shaq, Shaq is his good friend, good brother, good big brother! He does not want any conflict between the two people, as long as Shaq is on the field, he would rather be a simple team organizer, but he does not know that one day, when this desire can no longer be suppressed, how terrible it will be to explode.

Phil Jackson saw that Lamar was struggling with his thoughts, walked over, patted Lamar on the shoulder, and said, "Lamar! Sometimes, people have to choose between two things, and I want you to think it through." Of course, there's still a long way to go, and at least you won't have a chance to get on top while Shaq is still at his peak!"

After Phil Jackson finished speaking, even he felt that he was despicable, as if he was provoking the relationship between Lamar and Shaq, but this kind of thing will be put on the table sooner or later, Lamar is younger and more potential, if he chooses between him and Shaq, as long as it is a coach with a normal brain, Lamar will be chosen, and Phil Jackson is the same.

Phil Jackson's words made Lamar's heart very confused, and it is undeniable that what Phil Jackson said makes sense!

But Lamar just can't make a choice, on the one hand, the temptation to become the leader of a team, on the other hand, his good brother Shaq, both are still possible, but in the future? Can he still be a green leaf like now? Obviously, it is impossible, Lamar is also ambitious.

Lamar is not arrogant enough to think that he has surpassed Shaq! Shaq is unprecedented, Lamar still admires his strength! Besides, the age difference between the two is also a lot, according to the attitude of Shaq in the Heat in later generations, this guy still knows how to choose, of course, the premise is that you have to learn to respect and coax this big guy!

In fact, the biggest trouble is not Shaq, but in Kobe, the two are about the same age, and the other party will willingly give him a hand?

In fact, his strength on the offensive end is at most on par with Kobe, and the only advantage seems to be no!(If personality and temper are also an advantage, then Lamar is much stronger than Kobe in this regard!) It can even be said that if it weren't for the experience and skills of his previous life after being reborn, he is likely to be just a role player in the team now, and Kobe Bryant did rely on continuous hard work to get all this today, for which Kobe Bryant also left countless scars on his strong body.

In Lamar's opinion, the best solution is for Kobe to give him some time to possess the ball, so that he can play to his heart's content on the court, and if that happens, he doesn't care about what leaders don't do, but will things really be that simple? Lamar doesn't know!

Regardless of where the future goes, Lamar is now facing an upcoming road trip, and I believe that no player in the NBA league will like this kind of dense schedule, and it is all away games, which is completely a disguised torture for the players.

Because it is a continuous away game, for the sake of the team's future games, Phil did not choose to bring Kobe Bryant, who has almost recovered, although Kobe Bryant fought hard, in the end Phil decided to take a more conservative approach, Kobe's return date was set after the end of the Lakers' road trip!

On the 29th, the Lakers came to Sagramento to challenge the Kings, and officially kicked off their road trip, in this game, due to Chris Webber's injury suspension, Adelman's gang did not cause too much trouble for the Lakers, especially the two core players on the court, Bibby and Peja, are fighting for the position of the team's second place, and failure may be doomed from the beginning of the game.

Chaotic offense and chaotic defense, the absence of the boss Webb, and the Princeton tactics that Adelman is famous for were not reflected at all in this game! Divac is old, and only Bibby and Peja are on the court performing individually, so that the Kings fans can see who is more suitable to be the team's second, and the result can be imagined.

Lamar still adopted the tactics of reserving physical strength in the first half of this game, and once again scored 13 points in the third quarter, which made the game lose suspense early and dragged into garbage time.

After getting a victory from the Kings, the Lakers rushed to Portland non-stop!

There they will challenge the clearest and dirtiest trailblazers in the league right now, full of drug traffickers. It's not derogatory to say that, it's the fact that both Batman Pippen, who has left, and Rasheed Wallace, who has finally become the boss of the team, are the guys Stern is in a hurry to get out of the league.

In the opening stages of the game, the Rose Garden court was overwhelmed with boos and curses, and the performance of all players except Lamar was affected, and the Lakers even trailed their opponents by seven points at the end of the first half.

What hit the Lakers even more was that at the beginning of the second half, Birdman Anderson was pulled down by the opponent's number one villain, Rasheed Wallace, during a fast-break dunk and broke his arm.

But the referee turned a blind eye to Rashid's evil foul and only awarded a defensive foul, Shaq stepped forward to find the referee to theorize, and as a result, he ate two T's in a row and was sent off.

The loss of the two big players on the inside line in succession made the situation of the Lakers on the court more passive, and the proud Rasheed Wallace led the Trailblazers to take the opportunity to play a wave of 11:0 small climax, widening the score gap to nearly 20 points.

At this time, Lamar stepped up, and the injury of his younger brother Anderson had already made him angry enough, and the referee's obvious bias detonated his anger like adding fuel to the fire.

For the next period of time, Lamar went completely crazy and left the problem of physical strength far behind!

Lamar's bombardment of the Trail Blazers' basket was this kind of indiscriminate bombardment, even after the opposing head coach replaced the main team and announced his surrender. Lamar still refuses to give up, determined to wipe out the last bit of dignity of the Trail Blazers. He scored a total of 42 points in this game, and if it wasn't for the first half to reserve his physical strength to prepare for the decisive battle, it would have been a simple matter to break his personal high score.

After the game, Lamar, who had been honest for a while, couldn't help but vent his dissatisfaction to reporters.

Especially after he learned that Birdman Anderson had a mild fracture of his lower arm and would rest for a while, his dissatisfaction rose by a few percentage points.

'I know there are people who have been targeting our team, who doesn't want us to win, who doesn't want us to defend the title, who doesn't want to see the joy on our faces when we win, who always come up with ways to get in the way of us. However, what I want to tell him is that we are not afraid, not at all, and if there is any trick, please use it and see who has the last laugh. ”

"Rasheed Wallace, don't mention that man's name to me, I'm ashamed that I've even played on the same court with him, and if he still has the slightest bit of shame, he should go to the police station and never come out of prison for the rest of his life." Also, if he doesn't give Los Angeles an account for today's events, he will be greeted by me, Lamar Odom's never-ending revenge. (To be continued.) )
