Chapter Fifty-Nine: Traitor
Zhao Dashao's appearance order was arranged to the third from the bottom from his first appearance, that is, before Kobe and Bynum.
Generally speaking, the order of appearance shows how high each player of each team is within the team.
If they are the core of the team, they are usually placed in the last place.
Other players will have no complaints about such an arrangement, because it is an unwritten rule in the NBA.
But you can't generalize about it, if you're a late player, even if you're the core at the tactical level, you're still not the team.
That's the case with Celtic, and although Garnett is the tactical core, it is still Pierce who is the finale in the players' order of appearance, because he is the soul of the team.
There are many such examples, later the Heat, and then the Warriors, the team's tactical core is the first to play, not the finale.
This is because they are late entrants, and their status in the Hall of Fame will be affected when they retire in the future, unless they can win championships on several teams as a core player, and naturally no one cares if you are a joiner.
Zhao Dashao feels that this is the reason why Lao Zhan went to the Lakers in the original plane, he can only lead the Lakers or other teams to win two more championships, and he can only be on an equal footing with Kobe Bryant after retiring in the future.
But to get to the point of being equal to Jordan, it would take a triple championship.
The Lakers' order of appearance began last season, with Gasol being the first to play and Kobe Bryant being the last.
As the spiritual leader and captain, Lao Yu has always been arranged to play in the second place, Odom is the third, and Bynum is the penultimate one.
The players who played in the middle were all substitutes, and Zhao Dashao was arranged to enter the court in the third from the bottom, which means that his status is behind Kobe, Gasol, Lao Yu, Odom, and Bynum.
This can't be helped, don't look at Lao Yu is always sprayed by Chinese fans, but in the eyes of Los Angeles fans, he is one of the heroes of the team's three consecutive championships, and he is also the team's locker room leader, a respected old captain.
Bynum, as the future interior core that the Lakers focus on cultivating, is not below Gasol, because he is the descendant of the Lakers.
NBA teams and fans pay great attention to this, Zhao Dashao is also a descendant of the Lakers, although the draft pick is very low, but it is indeed a player selected by the Lakers from the beginning, which is actually fundamentally different from players like Odom and Gasol who joined later.
So through the excellent performance of the first four games, his status in the eyes of Lakers fans has improved a lot, but to really reach the level of Bynum, in addition to the accumulation of time, he can only conquer the fans with excellent performances.
Zhao Dashao still got some applause from fans after he played, but most of them are still Chinese fans, a small number of them are female fans on the scene, and the local male fans in Los Angeles just don't boo him, and even Nicholson, the number one fan of the Lakers, only patted his palm twice when he played, so the momentum was similar to that of his previous brothers.
But when Bynum came out, the crowd erupted in cheers, and the scene was an order of magnitude higher than him.
Zhao Dashao was not angry in his heart, if the Los Angeles fans really cared for him like a baby, it would be difficult to leave in the future.
Needless to say, Kobe Bryant's final appearance took longer than other teams in the pre-game period of each game, and the main reason was that Kobe Bryant's entry was too time-consuming.
Zhao Dashao looked at Kobe's exclusive appearance ceremony, and it was of course a lie to say that he was not envious in his heart, but if he wanted to get this kind of treatment, he would at least survive until Kobe Bryant retired.
But if he had been here to assist Kobe, this bastard would not have been able to retire by 8102!
He couldn't wait at least four or five years before taking over, so he left the Lakers in two years, which was a script he had already written.
At that time, let Shengshi Group buy a team, secretly accumulate high-quality rookies and wait for him to come in a few years, this is Zhao Dashao's plan.
Of course, there is no need to rush this matter.
The 76ers, Hornets, Pistons, Kings, and Bucks will all change hands in the next few years, including the Nets and Bulls, and it is easy to take one of them with the financial resources of Shengshi Group.
Of course, he can afford teams like the Lakers, Clippers, and Knicks, but having money doesn't mean being a big one.
After the Clippers came out of the phone-door incident, the price of 2 billion was quite acceptable, but it was a pity that it would take 14 years, and he couldn't wait that long, which was to be done before 2012 at the latest.
The Lakers and Knicks, teams that owners don't want to sell, he didn't think about it at all, and these two teams have to spend at least four or five billion dollars to have a chance to buy.
At this price, you can forcibly buy Ubisoft, and Zhao Dashao is not so big to buy these two teams.
"Brother Yao, after the game in a while, take my plane and leave, I have prepared a dinner party for you, eat and drink well, and I can kill the Clippers tomorrow."
Zhao Dashao and Yao Ming met once in the preseason, but that time was in Houston, when Yao Ming was the owner.
"You're welcome, but what do you mean by that that we're going to lose tonight?"
Yao Ming's brain was spinning fast, and of course he could hear the joke in Zhao Dashao's words.
"Not necessarily, but your core is in too bad shape, let's see how many people there are on our side."
Zhao Dashao looked at Maddie not far away, this master still had that sleepy expression.
He has always been unpleasant to Maddie, but unfortunately there were too many fans of Maddie during the rocket period, and he didn't dare to be black!
In fact, through some of the words Maddie said in the interview at that time, he knew that the scoring champion looked down on Yao Ming in his heart.
It's no secret that the two don't get along, but if they can't get along with players like Yao Ming and Gasol, it's still inconclusive who is who, but Zhao Dashao subjectively doesn't believe that it will be Yao Ming's problem.
Yao Ming sighed when he heard this, but obviously he was not ready to discuss this topic, and asked instead: "I heard about your helicopter, but can I sit down with this big man?" ”
Zhao Dashao complained in his heart, "If you can't sit down, you just hang with Lao Ke." He smiled on his face, "Don't worry, my plane is 19 seats to 8 seats, the space is spacious, NBA players can also sit 8, as long as you don't stand, you'll be fine." ”
Yao Ming was speechless for a while, I really don't know what family this Young Master Zhao is, he seems to be the only one who takes a plane to train in the NBA, Jordan didn't have such a big panache back then.
When the Lakers on-site commentary introduced Zhao Dashao, they also used "Master· The word "Zhao" translates to "Young Master Zhao", which is to compare him with "Young Master Wayne".
As we all know, Batman's name is Bruce Wayne, his superpower is "rich", and Zhao Dashao looks similar.
It's just that everyone still doesn't know if Zhao Dashao is as rich as Young Master Wayne, but just the Zijin Manor, yacht, and airplane that he was exposed are enough to prove that he is not ordinary rich, at least few of the active players can afford his expenses.
But no matter how rich he is, he has to be a "cheerleader" first, and after the game started, Zhao Dashao continued to sit next to the Zen master and cheer for his teammates!
The Lakers' starters are unchanged from last season, and even the tactics are similar.
But in fact, the triangle tactics played by the Lakers in the new season have been changed to Gasol as the transmission shaft, and to put it bluntly, Gasol is now the tactical core of the Lakers.
Gasol joined halfway through last season, and at that time he had to take the initiative to cooperate with the Lakers' incomplete triangle system, although the effect was good, but after all, it could not fit perfectly, so when he met the Celtics, he exposed a lot of problems.
This season, Gasol's tactical position has been further clarified, and he has become more familiar with the triangle attack, as well as his new positioning and style of play.
Of course, the Zen master also learned how to get along with Lao Ke, and many things are tacitly understood by everyone and do not need to be said directly, such as who is the tactical core, he never says it publicly, but only emphasizes that Kobe Bryant is the offensive core.
After the failures of the previous years, especially the fiasco in the finals last year, Lao Ke has matured a lot at this time.
Of course, he knew that Gasol was the tactical core, but he didn't dispute it, because Gasol was not O'Neal, and the Spaniard not only praised Kobe Bryant as the team leader in an interview on the sidelines, but also repeatedly claimed that he was fortunate to be partnered with such a great MVP player.
The Spaniard doesn't just talk about it, he never steals the limelight on the pitch, and Gasol didn't put on too many high-scoring performances during the two-game winning period, scoring more than 35 points twice in two years, doesn't that sound a bit incredible?
But this is Gasol, his contribution to the Lakers is far more than just scoring, and only such a tactical core can fit perfectly with Kobe, and even Yao Ming needs to have enough shots to play a role, and Howard will be ...... immediately
"Awesome, this ball is well played!"
At the mention of Yao Ming, Zhao Dashao couldn't help but shout when he saw the little giant use his trademark small hook to beat Bynum to score a goal.
This made the Lakers players look at him a little surprised, they seem to have a traitor?
"Andrew, come on, you're pretty good at it!"
Zhao Dashao also found that it didn't seem good to do this, so he immediately added a sentence very insincerely.
The Lakers player looked pained: "You're too perfunctory, aren't you?" ”
"Bastard, I can fight back!"
Bynum also happened to hear Zhao Dashao's words, but he was not angry.
After the two of them had bowled a few times, the relationship was already good, and he felt that this was a joke made by Young Master Zhao, and maybe there was also encouragement.
Bynum has always felt that Zhao Da Shao is good, even better than the boss......
Well, Yao Ming was in good form today, hitting two goals in a row in the opening game.
He's always been afraid of teams that have a top-tier interior line, especially a star center.
The reason is very simple, most of those top strong teams and star centers are embarrassed to wrap or wrap around, especially a center like Howard, if they use a front or frequent wrap with teammates, wouldn't it be an indirect admission of Yao Ming's strength, and it shows that he is not an opponent?
As a result, the Lakers have not used a front-revolving defense during the OK period, and the same is true for the Magic, both of whom prefer to use traditional methods against Yao Ming.
This explanation sounds unreliable, but it is true.
Will Kobe Bryant often find teammates to pack Wade?
Of course not, the boss can't afford to lose that person, whoever dares to come over and meddle in the duel between the two will definitely get a sentence "Get out!" ”
Originally, this season's Lakers suffered in the playoffs, and finally let go of their pride and adopted Yao Ming to defend Yao Ming.
But what made Zhao Dashao secretly despise in his previous life was that you Bynum was just a little shark, and you actually learned from O'Neill and Howard to pay attention to identity, so you deserve to be beaten up every time you meet Yao Ming.
Bynum has been educated in a row, and the offensive end naturally wants to come back.
Bryant and Gasol did help him with a few shots, and the Lakers' opening two offenses were inside.
Bynum got two low-post singles opportunities, but as we all know, Yao Ming's defense in the low post is rock-solid, and his defense in the paint area is a cover-up, but as soon as he gets out of the box, he is eye-catching.
Howard, who has been at his peak in the past two years, has to be beaten as a younger brother in the low post and in front of the penalty area, and Bynum, the little shark, was naturally beaten even worse, and one of the two consecutive attacks almost missed the frame, and once it really didn't touch the frame.
Kobe Bryant was angry, and after that, he never made a ball for Bynum again, and secretly said in his heart: Give you a chance, you are useless!
