Chapter 211: Sacrifice

The three of them didn't sleep all night and talked all night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe three of them didn't know what they were talking about, anyway, Zhao Wei, who hadn't slept all night, should have had time to sleep during the day and then return to the team, but as soon as it was dawn, Zhao Wei left for New York.

Zhao Wei, who arrived in New York, plunged into the quilt again, and if his teammates hadn't pulled him out, he might have slept until before the game.

Clarkson jumped on Zhao Wei's bed and pulled Zhao Wei out almost like a burning buttocks, shouting, "What's going on? ”

"That's it!" Zhao Wei looked at the news displayed on the tablet, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "How is it?" Surprised, right? ”

"I'm surprised at your size. Didn't you say you didn't like Kylie Jenner? Clarkson's hair stood on end.

"But people like me." Zhao Wei shrugged helplessly, not minding Clarkson's cannibalistic gaze.

"Ah, Zhao Wei, I'm going to strangle you. Russell, come and help. Clarkson rushed towards Zhao Wei, looking for help while pounced.

"Hey, hey, you're going to go yourself. I have a girlfriend now. Russell waved his hand, looking like he didn't care about himself.

"I'm Kao, you're so unrighteous!" Clarkson pointed to the door sadly to see the lively crowd.

Zhao Wei looks at it this way, Russell, Randle, Larry Nans, and Ingram are all there, so it seems that with Clarkson and his words, it can be said that the entire Lakers will rebuild in the future. As for Zubats, he was assigned to the Development League by the management before, and he was first asked to practice and familiarize himself with the rhythm of the entire MG basketball. The reason why Zhao Wei was able to be reused so quickly was of course related to the strength he showed, but at the beginning, he thought that he had lived in MG since he was a child, and he fully understood and adapted to such a basketball rhythm and culture.

In this way, the Lakers have now basically built a young roster for the future. Clarkson is the oldest of the six, but he is only 24 years old. Randle is only 22 years old, Russell is 21 years old, and he and Ingram are 20 years old.

"Compared to my life, I still choose not to be angry." Ingram laughed.

"Cut. Is this guy really so fierce? Clarkson hadn't seen Zhao Wei's skills yet, and he was suspicious.

"Would you like to give it a try?" Zhao Wei's eyes flashed.

"Ah, forget it, hehe, no. No, I'm kidding. Clarkson saw the cunning in Zhao Wei's eyes and hurriedly confessed.

"Then don't disturb my sleep." Zhao Wei tugged on the quilt and lifted Clarkson directly to the ground.

Clarkson didn't feel any pain at all, and immediately lay on the edge of the bed, and asked with a flattering face, "Are you two really okay?" ”

"Hmm. Didn't you see them all? It was all nonsense before, but now Kylie Jenner herself said it in front of the media. Zhao Wei said proudly.

"Ahh Clarkson, like a lightning strike, said bitterly, "I'm not alive anymore." ”

"Cut!" Everyone gave Clarkson a disdainful middle finger.

"Kao, you guys don't have humanity. I'm all like this, don't you all sympathize with me? Clarkson said aggrievedly.

"What you're doing is simply impossible. I knew it was a wall, but I had to hit it. Why sympathize with you. The crowd struck Clarkson mercilessly.

"You guys play. I'm going to see a friend. Russell suddenly spoke.

When Zhao Wei heard this, he asked, "New York, do you still have friends?" ”

"Of course. Porzingis. I met at last year's draft, and he was a pretty good guy. Russell complimented.

"I'll go too." Zhao Wei got up from the bed and said.

"What about you?" Russell asked, looking at the others.

"I still have to train. Go ahead. Randall waved his hand, and the other guys also found excuses for not going.

Russell took Zhao Wei to a restaurant.

"Randall's become a training maniac. Almost all of my free time is spent in the training room. Russell laughed.

"That's a good thing. Young people like us need to keep training to improve themselves. You look at Randall's recent physique growth. That guy from Ingram should learn from him. Zhao Wei praised Randall.

"Hmm. That guy was already as powerful as a cow. Now I hate being with him the most. Ingram's guy is too skinny. However, there is no hurry. Didn't see the results of Simmons' rapid weight gain! Russell complained.

"Porzingis, do you know each other well?" Zhao Wei put the conversation back on Porzingis.

"I'll get in touch once in a while. I met him last year. This guy was favored by most Los Angeles fans, but the team chose me in the end. And he made it to the Knicks. I wasn't favored by the fans, and this guy was even booed by the fans on the spot of the draft. Russell recalled.

"Well, it's miserable enough." Zhao Wei nodded in agreement.

While talking, the two had already arrived at the restaurant. Zhao Wei saw a tall white man as tall as a tall tower from a long distance, and he was very handsome. No wonder it can be called the god of waves. This face is definitely able to charm the hearts of countless girls.

Zhao Wei thought like this, but forgot that he had a face that was even more handsome than Porzingis.

"Hey." Russell greeted Porzingis warmly.

Porzingis also greeted enthusiastically, but Russell's hand was awkwardly raised in the air.

Porzingis directly brushed by Russell and came to Zhao Wei.

"Hello." Porzingis greeted Zhao Wei in a strong European English.

"Hello." Zhao Wei was also a little stunned by Porzingis's reaction, and he didn't understand it. Is this Russell's friend?

Russell shook his head at Zhao Wei helplessly.

"I'm Porzingis, what's your name?" Porzingis was very welcoming.

"My name is Zhao Wei." Zhao Wei looked shy.

"You're so handsome." As soon as he reported his home, Porzingis spoke up and praised.

"I'm kao," Zhao Wei yelled in his heart, "This guy is still a face controller." ”

Under Russell's persuasion, Porzingis pulled Zhao Wei to sit down.

It seems that these two are good friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, and Russell, who is depressed on the side, is a stranger.

The three of them chatted together for a long time before they dispersed.

Although the Knicks have a rookie like Porzingis this season, their goal is very clear that they will seize the opportunity to chase the championship.

Because they still have Anthony, and this summer, they got Rose, Noah, Contney Lee, and Jennings.

Except for Contney Lee, the rest of these guys are famous. Anthony is like an evergreen, super chopping breakup. Rose, the NBA's youngest regular-season MVP, the cornerstone of Noah's team, and Jennings are also a scoring maniac with 50 points in his rookie season. Although Contney Lee's star is dim, he is also a 10,000-year-old role player compared to these people, and as a role player, he is a very successful character. Defense, scoring.

"Don't come out with me in the future. You're a professional digger. No wonder Clarkson wants to strangle you. Russell said with a bitter face.

"Hey, am I to blame for that? Who made you look less handsome than me. The only ones you can blame are the two above you. Zhao Wei said with a smile.

"Get out!" After a few hard breaths, Russell managed to squeeze a word out of his teeth.

"Will you play tonight?" It's almost time to arrive at the venue, Zhao Weicai asked seriously.

"The team has won eight in a row recently, does it matter if I play or not?" Russell looked a little lost.

"Of course. We're not aiming for the last season or this season. We need a whole team. Zhao Wei said seriously.

He was so serious that Russell who saw him became serious too. The heart that was originally going to be joking is gone.

Russell moved his right leg towards Zhao Wei and said, "See?" I'm all right. So I'll play tonight. Are you ready to go back to the bench? ”

"Are you sure you can squeeze me back into the bench?" Zhao Wei smiled confidently.

"Of course, I'm a good showman." Russell said proudly.

"Pull it down. Now the No. 4 show is better mixed than you. Zhao Wei struck.

"Cut. Can't you just make me feel good? Russell said displeased.

"The game is on, and you're cool. Let's go. Since you're all back, let's go back and see what the coach does. Zhao Wei urged.

"No need. The coach has already arranged it. Rest assured. You're still in the starting lineup. Russell walked slowly.

"Ahh Zhao Wei was stunned when he heard this. If he's still a starter and Russell is back, then there will definitely be a starting lineup that will fall to the bench.

In the NBA, it's a shame that you've been a starter and suddenly get off the bench. The coach does not approve of you. Many people are unacceptable, and even have conflicts with coaches and teammates, breaking the peace of the team and causing conflicts in the locker room. For a team, no peace, no unity, this is a fatal problem.

"Who's going to the bench?" Zhao Wei's words were a little depressing.

"Hey, don't be so depressed. Will we be like the other teams? It was Ruhr Deng, who volunteered to go to the bench. Russell laughed.

"But, aren't we all young people?" Zhao Wei said. The Lakers' previous lineup setup was very clever. Luke Walton knows that young people are prone to mistakes, so no matter how they make substitutions, the Lakers always have one or two veterans on the court.

"Ask Ruerden about this." Russell looked a little lost and didn't want to dwell too much on the issue.

Zhao Wei felt that there must be something in this that he didn't know.

After Zhao Wei arrived at the stadium, he immediately went to find Lu Erdeng.

"Deng!" Zhao Wei shouted to stop Lu Erdeng.

"Is it because of the lineup?" Without waiting for Zhao Wei to speak, Lu Erdeng mentioned it first.

"Hmm." Zhao Wei nodded honestly, "The reason why you came to the Lakers is because of the starting position promised to you at the beginning." ”

Lu Erdeng smiled lightly and said calmly: "What about the starting position, after all, my age is there." The reason they recruited me to the team was to be a mentor to you. Lead you to grow. ”

"But you're only thirty-one years old now. It's the year of the fight. Zhao Wei said hurriedly, "I'm fine, I'll go and talk to the coach, I can play as a substitute." It's easier to play as a substitute. ”

"You also know it's easier to play off the bench." Lu Erdeng glanced at Zhao Wei and said, "Can't you give my old guy an easier job?" ”

Zhao Wei was stunned.

Lu Erdeng opened his mouth and said: "Thirty-one years old is the age of fighting, but you also know about my illness. My body was already sliding rapidly. Boy, remember that the NBA is always the back wave pushing the front wave, and I sometimes envy world peace. Now seeing how fast you have grown, I know that my mission is a success. I believe that you can be on your own now, so let me take a back seat to help you grow. ”

Zhao Wei was very emotional. The NBA is a league with a lot of magic, and a variety of legacies have helped it continue to grow. A guy like Lu Erdeng was the first time Zhao Wei met him, so he was very touched by this sacrifice between his teammates. Zhao Wei also felt the burden on his shoulders. He knew why Lu Erdeng would be willing to be on the second line. Because Ruhr Deng saw his performance.

"Can't lose." This is Zhao Wei's insistence on the next game. He could not let Ruldun's sacrifice go down the drain.

"I'm going to take the Lakers off." One sentence is like Zhao Wei's promise to Lu Erdeng, and it is also a promise to himself.

Tonight's game is not destined to be an ordinary game, the Lakers, who are full of injuries but have unexpectedly won eight in a row, suddenly miraculously all the injured players returned on such a night.

Luke Wharton was naturally happy about the return of the wounded, but at the same time he also had a headache, even if it was a happy headache.

Now everyone on the Lakers team has their own contributions, but after everyone returns, there will inevitably be people who have less playing time and fewer opportunities to play.

Fortunately, the biggest headache was solved because of Lu Erdeng's active sacrifice. But the crowding of the bench also made Luke Wharton happy and painful.

Now there are 12 people on the team who can play.

Just as Luke Wharton was scratching his ears and cheeks, someone else stepped forward. It was still Ruhr Deng who stood up, along with Mozgov and Lou Williams.

They offered Luke Wharton their request to reduce their playing time.

Moved, the locker room was full of emotion. Opportunities to perform are so important for young players, and the Lakers have set an example and are willing to give up opportunities to young players.

In the end, Luke Walton decided that he would reduce the playing time of Lul Deng and Mozgov appropriately, and as for Lu Williams, Lu Ke Walton did not plan to reduce it, because Lu Williams was the core of the bench lineup. His reduced playing time will affect the overall performance of the Lakers' bench. (To be continued.) )
