Byron Scott couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw that after he announced his disbandment, there would still be someone to stay and practice.

After all, the harder and more serious the players train, the better they perform on the pitch and the more likely they are to bring victory to the team.

Especially since several rookies this year have stayed to practice, Scott is even more happy.

This is the future of the team!

Scott left satisfied.

The performance of the players on the court today, especially the performance of rookies such as Yi Feng, has made Scott's tactics that can be used on the Lakers at this stage more abundant.

And Yi Feng has such an excellent ability, Scott can specially formulate tactics for him!

Now Scott has some regrets and didn't let Yi Feng play in the summer league. Without observing Yi Feng's technical characteristics for a long time, it is impossible to understand his strengths and weaknesses, and it is impossible to design tactics that fit Yi Feng perfectly.

Moreover, tactics are not obtained out of thin air on paper, they need to be constantly perfected and enriched in practice, evolve and transform, and finally gradually move closer to perfection.

――――――

Jimmy-Kimmel-live! is a well-known late-night talk show in the United States, hosted by ABC, hosted by Jimmy Canmore, who has a funny, maverick hosting style.

In 2013, the show had inappropriate remarks about Chinese Americans, involving racial discrimination, and although the show has since publicly apologized, its popularity among Chinese Americans has declined significantly.

With the passage of time, everything can be forgotten. "Jimmy's Chicken Feather Show" has once again raised its popularity among Chinese Americans to the level of 2012 due to its own excellence.

At 23:35 EST on October 2, "Jimmy's Chicken Feather Show" started on time.

"Welcome to The Jimmy Feather Show, I'm everyone's old friend Jimmy!"

In the studio, host Jimmy Canmore smiles at the camera, while a guest sits next to him. Host Jimmy Canmore's figure is tall among ordinary people, but in front of this guest, he is still insignificant.

"When you look at the guest sitting on my right, do you think he's huge? And then did you think he looked familiar? ”

The guest was ridiculed, not angry, but with a stinky fart, "That's right, this is the figure I'm proud of, do you scum have the urge to kneel and lick?" ”

The words of the guest are exactly the language style that is very suitable for talk shows.

"Do you think so?"

The host, Jimmy Canmore, asked, and then said with some distress: "But I think this kind of body should cause me a lot of trouble, with a belly so big, that the big little brother I am proud of has no place to live......"

(⊙o⊙)…

The guest's head was full of black lines, "I have to talk to you about this, you are undoubtedly slandering sexual prowess!" Are you jealous of my popularity among thousands of girls? Let me tell you, I am proficient in one hundred and eighty positions, and I have never met an opponent in bed, it is an invincible and invincible ......."

Jimmy Canmore smiled politely, then pointed at the camera and said seriously: "Now I will give you a formal introduction to the guest of this issue of "Jimmy Chicken Feather Show", the famous basketball player Mr. Charles Buckley! ”

"Although he is famous, there is still a distance from greatness. After all, my idol is Michael Jordan! ”

Jimmy Canmore's latter sentence is simply a stroke of genius.

It's no secret that players of the Jordan era, no matter how good, can only live in his shadow, even Charles Barkley, one of the best power forwards of all time who won the regular season MVP. Because of Jordan, they have no crown for life!

Now Jimmy Canmore is in front of Barkley and says that he is not as good as Jordan, which is tantamount to a slap in the face and ill-intentioned!

Barkley, however, was surprisingly calm!

Barkley smiled indifferently, "Michael is the greatest basketball player in the world, and of course I can't be called great in front of him." But I can still afford the adjective 'famous', how can I say that he is also a man who once won the MVP. ”

Hmph, boy, if you want to fight with you, you're still a little tender!

Barkley has his own thoughts in his heart, he is no longer the Barkley who waved his fist angrily when he disagreed, and after many years of retirement, he has also found another image of himself and maintained it. As a big name in the commentary world, how can he spew foul language in public? Although he does have a grudge against Jordan that is higher than a mountain.

Jimmy Canmore saw that Barkley was not fooled, and did not dwell on it anymore, and directly turned to the topic, "Old friends, we have invited Mr. Barkley as a guest today, and you must have guessed what the topic of this issue is about. ”

"That's right, our topic in this issue is to talk about a certain basketball player!"

"You might think that the topic of this issue would be LeBron James, or Stephen Curry, or Kevin Durant, etc., but what I want to tell you is that none of these people are the talking point of this issue, and of course, it is not Kobe Bryant."

"I'll admit I'm a fan of Kobe, but unfortunately it's not him who is the topic of conversation. However, Kobe fans don't have to be discouraged, because the topic of this issue also has a certain connection with Kobe, and the connection is still very large! ”

"Maybe you're as smart as you are, and you've guessed who he is. That's right, he is the top pick in this year's NBA draft, Yi Feng from China! ”

Seeing that Jimmy Canmore finally revealed the topic of this issue, Barkley, who was sitting next to him, asked: "Do you think it's weird, Yi Feng is just a small rookie, why didn't the column group use him as a topic person, but didn't invite him over?" ”

"Could it be that you don't move?"

"Or is it because of the mistakes you made before, that people are Chinese and don't want to come?"

Buckley's question is acute, and the issue of racial discrimination can be said to be a taboo in the United States, and whoever touches it will die. There is a very famous example before, that is the former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, Donald Sterling, who was severely punished by the NBA for making racist remarks: Sterling was banned from all matters related to the Clippers or the NBA, and fined $2.5 million, which is the maximum fine stipulated in the NBA bylaws.

In the end, Donald Sterling was forced to sell the Clippers and left the NBA.

The old spicy Barkley immediately took Jimmy Canmore in the army and returned the color to Jimmy Canmore, who had just teased him. Sure enough, the ginger was still old and spicy, but Canmore didn't expect Barkley to hold such a grudge.

Barkley's question made him a little embarrassed, but his rich hosting experience quickly made him regain his composure, and he said: "Of course, it is our honor to be able to invite Yi, but unfortunately he is a busy man, and he is busy with training now, so he can't come to this show." ”

Looking at Barkley's playful gaze, Canmore continued to explain, "Mr. Jazz (Charles Barkley has a nickname of 'Jazz') you also know that Yi has received a lot of doubts as this year's top pick. In the spirit of internationalism, we "Jimmy's Feather Show" certainly hope that Yi, an international friend, can perform in the NBA, so it is inconvenient to disturb his training. ”

"The Spirit of Internationalism ......"

Barkley chewed on the word repeatedly, sending chills down Canmore's back.

Originally, Barkley wanted to talk about the inappropriate remarks against Chinese Americans in "Jimmy's Chicken Feather Show" a few years ago, but looking at the host's slightly panicked expression, and then thinking of the appearance fee that he had already collected in his pocket, after thinking about it, he still generously let them go.

"You take Yi as the topic of this issue, so let's talk about this guy."

Barkley took the initiative to divert the conversation.

The presenter, Jimmy Canmore, and the director, cameraman, and other staff below breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the meme was finally over.

Canmore packed up his mood and a smile like a spring breeze appeared on his face again, "As a professional talk show, we definitely don't have the professional eye to interpret Yi like Mr. Barkley, so our entry point is not on the field, but on the sidelines." ”

"According to the latest news we have got, Yi has signed several big contracts!"

"(⊙o⊙) Oh?"

Barkley was interested, "How many are there?" How big is the contract? ”

Jimmy Canmore smiled mysteriously, "Audience friends, how much Yi's contract is and how big the amount is, I will reveal them for you one by one!" ”

Barkley's round face twitched, but it was not good to attack on the spot, so he could only wait for the host to announce it one by one.

But unexpectedly, host Jimmy Canmore immediately released an easter egg!

"The total value of Yi's contract is $50.2 million!"

Miscellaneous...... What the?!!

$50 million?!!

Astound.

Buckley's face was nothing but shock and shock.

The host, Jimmy Canmore, saw Barkley's expression and said, "How's that, Mr. Jazz, don't you think it's incredible, aren't you all surprised now?" ”

"Tell you, I can't believe it's true!"

Jimmy Canmore was a little excited, "You know, before you start playing for the team, you can get tens of millions of dollars, and before Yi, there was only LeBron James!" ”

"Alone! Only LeBron! ”

"Do you know who LeBron is? He was the pride of the United States long before he entered the NBA! How can Yi be compared to him? ”

"You know, my salary is not a million dollars a year, and even one percent of the contract amount is a bit barely enough. My God......"

By the end of the day, Jimmy Canmore was already a little "crying", "lethargic" and "crumbling". Of course, he is pretending, all for the sake of the show.

Barkley smiled bitterly, "Jimmy, I'm actually sadder than you......"

"Think about when I was a player, the salary was only a little bit, although I was the same height as Michael (Michael Jordan), but as a strong insider, there would be no endorsement contracts, and there were not many ......"

Next, the two frustrated old men began to pour bitter water in the studio, mixed with all kinds of yellow jokes, small jokes, and the characteristic part of "Jimmy's Chicken Feather Show" to conduct undisciplined passers-by interviews on the street, this episode of the show actually has such good ratings!
