In the past few days, there are only two things that Lakers players have been asked by the media, one is whether the Lakers can enter the playoffs this season, and the other is what Kobe Bryant and Howard say, what do they think and who they support. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and most people are hesitant about these two issues, secretive, only Ci Shiping spoke a little straighter, and said: "Of course, because we have a book lineup that the whole league envies, as long as we put an end to injuries and complete the run-in, we will definitely be a championship-level strong team." But when the reporter asked the second question, Ci Shiping didn't speak, because it was inconvenient for him to express his position directly because of this kind of question.

He wanted to support Kobe Bryant, but Kobe's words made him doubtful.

With the Lakers' record so ugly and far from eighth place in the West, can they really rise strong in the rest of the schedule?

Tzu's suspicions are well-founded, as the Lakers currently have only 17 wins, and if they want to make the playoffs, they must maintain a winning percentage of more than 60% in the second half of the season. And what does a 6 percent win rate mean? It represents the strength standard that the team needs to reach the top five in the West, and it represents the strength standard that the team needs to reach the top three in the East. No way, this season's Western Conference is extremely miserable, with the top five winning rates in the regular season currently exceeding 68%, and the Memphis Grizzlies, the second-most, also have a winning rate of 68.3%. In this case, the risk of the Lakers advancing is ten.

So to a certain extent, he also felt that Kobe Bryant was talking big and talking about it.

Being in the maelstrom of the Lakers can clearly understand how far the team has dispersed.

These 17 victories are actually very mysterious, not stable and down-to-earth at all.

Therefore, to win at least 28 of the remaining 42 games, Ci Shiping feels that his confidence is not strong.

He is not an outsider, and he feels even more helpless and powerless about the problems inside.

In the face of this external pressure and the atmosphere within the team, the expression of the Lakers No. 24 was overly gloomy all day long, and he was unwilling to say anything more except for practice or practice. And at this moment, someone stood up and opened his mouth directly and said: "This is definitely not a problem!" Kobe Bryant was right, we're going to make the playoffs, and we're definitely going to get in! ”

As soon as Tang Qian's words came out, all parties began to discuss hotly, some people thought that he was grandstanding, deliberately rubbing the heat, and fighting for eyeballs, some people thought that he was overwhelmed, and the commoners went to the hearts of nobles, and some people thought that he was arrogant and open-mouthed, and he didn't know how high the sky was and how thick the earth was.

T.N.T TV's basketball program "T.N.T Heavenly Group" also made a big discussion, discussing the Lakers, Kobe, and Tang Qian.

The end result is that no one is optimistic about the Lakers, Kobe, and Tang Qian, including Charles, who has always been pro-Tang. Ross Barkley, too, remained neutral tonight and didn't talk much. First.Take, ESPN's famous program, also did a special discussion about whether the Lakers can make the playoffs. Stephen. A. Smith and Skip Bayless rarely agreed, both believing that the Lakers had completely failed this season, and the internal disintegration was the final fatal blow.

A team that is not united will never win the championship!

This is a famous quote in the history of North American sports, not to say how good your private relationship should be, like the Bulls Iron Triangle back then, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, on the court seems to be full of tacit understanding, in fact, according to their own answers, the off-court relationship is ordinary friends, and even Dennis. Rodman also bluntly said in a 2011 NBC Sports interview that he and Jordan Pippen had never spoken off the court. Of course, this is an exaggerated trick of "Flower Big Worm", but after drying the water, it can still be seen that their private relationship is definitely not particularly harmonious. In addition to the Bulls Iron Triangle, there is also the O.K combination in Los Angeles a little closer, they also have a poor relationship off the court, and even the same situation, but as soon as they get on the court, they become tacit teammates.

To paraphrase Rodman, I joined the Bulls to help the team win, so I just need to talk about the win, and there is no need to communicate with my teammates off the court.

The fact is also true, as long as you can cooperate sincerely and tacitly on the field, it doesn't matter what you do off the field.

For example, the O.K combination during the three-consecutive championship period is like this, and off-court conflicts will not be brought to the court, so they achieved the first three-in-a-row championship in the new century and started the first NBA dynasty in the new century. But later, they gradually couldn't hold this degree anymore and began to bring their personal emotions to the game, so that the "duo", which may be the strongest in history, collapsed once and for a while.

Therefore, the "unity" mentioned above is not the unity outside the field, but the unity inside the field.

If you are not united off the field, you can still be a strong team and win the O'Brien Cup.

If there is no unity off the field, and there is no unity on the field, then this team must be hopeless.

As for off-court solidarity and on-court disunity, this situation has never occurred in the NBA for more than 60 years, so it cannot be referred to and discussed.

In this one-sided situation, the Lakers have gradually become the much-anticipated "Titanic", and people are talking and discussing, when will it hit the iceberg? When exactly will it sink completely?

Except for Kobe Bryant and Tang Qian.

In addition to the two of them, there are stubborn hopes.

……

On January 24, Tang Qian followed his agent Zhou Zhiru to Hollywood, Los Angeles, preparing to shoot an advertisement for the endorsement contract GOAT.

This is Tang Qian's first time shooting an advertisement, so he is inevitably a little nervous, and listening to Zhou Zhiru's words, he is not alone in today's advertisement, and there is a female model who will shoot with him. Thinking about it, in Tang Qian's memory, GOAT seems to have always been the main women's clothing, although men's clothing is also available, but it is extremely niche and is not the main product. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, using a man and a woman to shoot advertisements will be the most appropriate for the buffering effect of the audience.

But as soon as he entered the scene, Tang Qian was stunned, because he actually knew the female model who was going to shoot an advertisement with him.

"Hi~ hot, long time no see, do you miss me?"

Look at this tall figure, slender figure, fashionable dress, not Carly. And who is Klaus?

"How are you? Wait a minute...... You didn't ask GOAT to sign up with me for this advertising contract, did you? Tang Qian seemed to think of something, and opened his mouth to ask. This is a reward for you, thank you for letting me see the man's true face in advance, and ...... "Carly. Klaus smiled mysteriously and said, "Taylor didn't mean that you and Bill. Is Shagat playing, I'm doing my best. "Taylor told you all this?" Tang Qian was a little surprised at first, and then he remembered that these Victoria's Secret models were all close friends of Taylor, and it was normal for her to say this to them.

"Then why didn't you tell me about the last time you ate?"

"lol~" Carly. Klaus stuck out his tongue and said, "It wasn't an emergency last time, so I forgot about it, and it's not too late to tell you now, it's just a surprise~"

The process went smoothly, because the subject was an acquaintance, so Tang Qian was not as restrained and nervous as before. And then there's a lot of things I don't understand, Carly. Klaus gave him a detailed explanation, including how to pose, how to concave shape, how to face the camera, etc., which really opened up a new world that Tang Qian had never been exposed to.

However, there are a few movements, Tang Qian still doesn't do it smoothly, such as some intimate and caressing movements, doing this under the watchful eyes of dozens of people, he is inexperienced, it is inevitable that it is a little unnatural. But Carly. Klaus still led him by the hand and let him gradually get into the state.

It took nearly 5 hours, Tang Qian finally ended the 1 minute and 39 second advertising shooting, and for the first time, he began to admire these actors and models. Sure enough, there are bitter tears in each line, and it took 5 hours to complete less than 2 minutes of footage, this kind of thing, Tang Qian asked himself if he could do it.

Evening Carly. Klaus invited him to dinner together, but because there was a game tomorrow, Tang Qianyan politely refused the other party.

"Okay, hot, but there's another advertisement, I can't refuse it again next time." Carly. Klaus looked up at Tang Qian and said, To be honest, there are not many men in this world who can make her wear high heels and raise her head. And Tang Qian is also the tallest and largest of the men she has worked with. Women are born with a bird's dependence, invincible height and domineering skills that day, Carly. Somehow, Klaus's initial gratitude seemed to change slightly.

But she also knows that her best friend Taylor. Swift likes this man, so ......

This is a later story, let's not show it for the time being, when I came back after filming the advertisement, Tang Qian received a call from Kobe.

That's right, it's Kobe. Bryant's phone, you must know that although he saved Kobe's phone, there was basically no separate contact between the two parties. And this call was made by Kobe Bryant on his own initiative, so Tang Qian felt a little incredible.

"hello~" Tang Qian answered the phone.

"Is it hot?" Kobe's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, it's me, what's the matter?" Tang Qian asked.

"The Bass family has a banquet tonight, and I want to take you with me." After Kobe Bryant finished speaking, he added: "It's a private banquet, so not every Lakers player can go." "Private banquets? The Bass family? w，what？ Tang Qianyan was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: The Bass family? The Bass family? Is it the real rulers of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Buss family?

"But, Kobe, why did you call me? I'm not familiar with the Bass family. Tang Qian thought for a while, and then held back a sentence. Not why. Kobe Bryant still said succinctly: "I just think I should take you over to see, how about it, are you going?" ”

To go or not to go? Isn't this nonsense? Of course I have to go! The famous Bass family, the legendary owner of North American sports, Jerry. Bass, he'd always wanted to see it for himself. So Tang Qian said into the phone: "Okay, I'll go, when, where is the location?" ”

"It's 8 o'clock in the evening, I won't say the location, you tell me where you are now, I'll call someone to pick you up." After speaking, Kobe Bryant added: "Remember to wear formality." ”

This sentence made Tang Qian understand that the No. 24 of the Lakers attaches great importance to tonight's banquet.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that he should wear something formal.

After thinking about it, Tang Qian still decided to change into a suit, tie and leather shoes, because in the United States, this seems to be the most traditional and formal way to go to the banquet.

Not long after the address was sent, someone drove to his door, and after Don sneaked into the car, the car went straight to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

Tang Qian was not surprised at all in this direction, because as the top wealthy area in Los Angeles, the security here is the best, and at the same time, it is also the most private and private, so there is no need to worry about being tracked and photographed by outsiders and reporters. Together with Bilaire and Holmby Hills, it is the platinum triangle of Los Angeles, which is the most common and gathering place for top rich, celebrity, and celebrities in the whole United States.

After entering Santa Monica Boulevard, the car did not hesitate to go north, because Beverly Hills has an unspoken rule, that is, to take Santa Monica Boulevard as the boundary, the further north you go, the more noble people, the higher the house price, and at the same time beautiful scenery.

After about a quarter of an hour, the speed of the car slowed down, and although Don had been in Los Angeles for more than a year, he had never had a chance to get into the real interior of Beverly Hills. Unlike the Chinese mansions he remembers, there is no luxury that can be seen at a glance, but most of the villas are closed doors and surrounded by tall trees. For example, the house that Tang Qian is entering now is just like the castle, except that it is equipped with a tall iron gate with black paint, and after closing the door, outsiders will never be able to see the sporadic inside, and there are ...... There is also a long private driveway.

This...... This. Ma is really low-key luxury.

The evil of American imperialist capitalism.

"Alright, Mr. Iron, you can get out of the car." After the driver stopped the car steadily, he said to Tang Qian in the back seat.

"Oh, okay, thanks." Tang Qian pushed open the door and said.

"It's okay, Mr. Iron, I wish you a nice evening." With that, the driver closed the door and disappeared into the private driveway.

"Hot, you've arrived? Come up with me. It seems that Kobe has been waiting here for a long time, he is very similar to Tang Qian's dress, suit and leather shoes, bright all over, if you don't know people, you still think he is a business tycoon, or a corporate star.

Walking through Fountain Square, there was a white man like a servant, who helped Kobe Bryant and Tang Qian push open the door, and then led them inside.

To be honest, Tang Qian thought that the place where he lived was already very good. But compared with here, Ya's is simply a chicken nest than Wangcheng, and the gap is not as big as ordinary. After walking for nearly 10 minutes, they gradually heard human voices, and Kobe Bryant subconsciously tidied up his clothes before continuing to say: "I met Mr. Bass, please pay attention to politeness." ”

Kobe Bryant has such respect for the Bass family? This was something Tang Qian didn't expect.

However, he still thought about it, because what Kobe really respected was not the Bass family, but ......

Along the way, all kinds of celebrities and celebrities who were familiar to them were chatting casually, in groups of three or five, some said hello to Kobe, and some turned a blind eye. This is the rule of the real celebrity party in Los Angeles, because most of the people who come are not expensive, so it is very likely that the two sides have a grudge, after all, the upper circle says big and big, and small and small. Therefore, in order to take care of the face of the main family, even if the enemy meets, he will temporarily endure and choose to turn a blind eye, otherwise there will be a direct conflict, and it is easy to enter the blacklist of the party of the upper class forever.

Kobe Bryant is in Los Angeles, there are many people who like him, and there are many people who hate him, so it is extremely normal for the scene just now.

The 24th has long been accustomed to it.

He is now over 34 years old, and he has long since lost the youth and immaturity of 17 years ago.

Kobe Bryant seemed to have his own destination, so he didn't stop at all along the way, taking Tang Qian left and right, and he didn't slow down until he entered a room guarded by 4 people. The four bodyguard-like characters seemed to know Kobe Bryant and knew that Kobe was coming, so after nodding, he said to the neckline, Tang Qian's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that they had a small black object pinned to their neckline. After a moment's thought, he understood what it was.

It's such a big battle, the miniature walkie-talkies have been made.

What's in there? It can't be a treasure map, right?

Just when Tang Qian was thinking wildly and divergent thinking, the door was opened, and the four of them made a gesture to Kobe Bryant to invite him in, and then the latter took Tang Qian and walked in slowly.

"Remember what I just said, and when you meet Mr. Bass, be polite." Bryant repeated in a low voice.

Seeing that the "Black Mamba" was so solemn, Tang Qian immediately nodded seriously and said.

The two didn't walk long before they heard someone say, "Kobe, are you here?" ”

It was an old, low, and at the same time full of gentle voice.

But this voice, Tang Qian sounded, as if his breath was insufficient, and he had a feeling that dusk was approaching.
