40. Beat them again next time
In fact, before the Spurs successfully took revenge on the Heat in the 13-14 season, many people's impression of the Spurs was still stuck in the Grizzlies Black Eight scene. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If the Spurs hadn't succeeded in taking revenge on the Heat in the 13-14 season, people would have mentioned that Leonard's two free throws in the '13 Finals would definitely not be as friendly as it is now, and it would have become Leonard ruining Duncan's chance to tie Kobe's championship number and so on.
It is precisely because the Spurs successfully won the fifth championship in team history in 14 years that Popovich's status was established, otherwise if they did not win the championship, even if the Spurs won the regular season championship for several consecutive years, people's impression would only stay on the black eight in 11 years, and it would be said that the Spurs have changed from a playoff team to a regular season team.
Liu Ren, who came from later generations, understands these and knows that the Spurs have really reached the peak of the entire Spurs history this year, and it is normal to lose to them, and winning is called an upset!
"It's not a shame to lose to them," Liu Ren said in a deep voice, "That's right, we lost, a fiasco." It's not that we didn't play well, it's that the opponents are too strong, they're the favorites for this year's championship and we're still chasing a playoff spot. We have to believe in what we can and see that we are not good enough, and we can beat playoff teams like the Clippers and Warriors now, and obviously we are in the playoffs as well. ”
"Now, what we have to do is work towards a team like Spurs and beat them next time!"
This speech, which has no quotations and no famous sayings, has an unexpectedly good effect.
After all, they are all young people, young people who don't worry about it overnight.
"Beat them next time!"
Whiteside and Green yelled at the face-saving lead.
The group of young people finally regained their vitality. 、
"Hassan, I bought a new Xbox, do you want to go to my house to play?" Nick Young invited Whiteside to his house, but was it really just a game?
"Cool, Liu, Giannis, Drummond, Jordan, Josh, Robert...... do you want to be together?" Whiteside asked.
“OK。” This is Green.
"Gogogo, Nick, is Iggy going to bring her friends? Is there a Kardashian? "This is Thackeray who loves big fart-strands.
"Haha, Robert, you're really enough, you poor guy still want to play with celebrities? But I think you're such a big guy, maybe they'll take the initiative to stick ......," Liu Ren smirked unceremoniously.
"Of course, I'm the most muscular Thackeray in Los Angeles!" Thackeray is not ashamed at all.
"I'm sorry, I just turned 19, my mother won't let me go out, I paid my salary yesterday, I sent them the money, I forgot to keep some money for myself......" Antetokounmpo said embarrassedly.
Yesterday was the team's first salary, Liu Ren's salary has increased several times this year, and he could have received almost 300,000 salaries after tax, but he advanced the first year's salary, so he only got the team's subsidy, which is the average salary in California, 3,700 US dollars.
His salary is the same as that of a Lakers training gym security guard.
Antetokounmpo is a sincere person, his rookie four-year average salary is 1.8 million, and this time the salary is less than 80,000 US dollars, all of which were sent to his mother, it seems that his family has more than ten people, and only he has a stable income.
Hearing Antetokounmpo's words, Liu Ren remembered that he didn't take it seriously after seeing it in the morning and thought it was funny, and suddenly remembered an interesting incident in his previous life.
"Giannis, could it be that person I saw in the morning who looked like a Lakers member running a marathon on the road......" Liu Ren asked in a strange tone.
"It's a bit far to send money to the bank in Athens, I have all the money, and I don't have the money to take a taxi, so I have to run ......back," Antetokounmpo said embarrassedly.
"Hahahaha...... Marathon man ......" everyone laughed.
"Okay, let's go together, I'm not yet 20, you're welcome to eat big, Nick has a clothing company, don't save money for him." Liu Ren patted Antetokounmpo to give the youngest brother of the team a little warmth.
The most pleasing thing for Liu Ren to look at this team is Antetokounmpo, because the whole team is younger than Antetokounmpo, and he can suppress the opponent in terms of age......
Nick Young is a big family and there is no nonsense, this guy started to do his own brand in college, at first it was just a creative design, after entering the NBA, he had funds, he opened a company in Los Angeles, and now he is a major shareholder, last year he had a new girlfriend, he is a popular singer, which made his brand popular in the United States, so he came to the Lakers regardless of salary, he can play in Los Angeles and become much more well-known, and he also endorsed Nike.
"Oh, good."
Antetokounmpo ...... Too honest.
……
"Paul, Mitch, I said don't worry about these imps." Kobe Bryant saw Liu Ren, who woke up his teammates with a lame speech, and was quite satisfied with this guy.
"I'm also going to find you two old guys to have a player meeting for this group of kids, it seems that there is no need, Paul, Kobe, do you think Liu will be the future successor of our Purple and Gold Army?" Kupchak pretended to think.
"Haha, Mickey, I don't care about that, it's something you have to think about." Bryant laughed.
"Ou, ****, Kobe Bryant, you are also the team's future celebrity, don't you help the team think about these things?" Kupchak had a look on his face that I had misread you.
Speaking of which, Kupchak is also a Lakers celebrity, having played an important role in the Lakers' performance moments, helping the Magic win several championships.
"Alright, let the imps settle their own affairs, and I'll recuperate in peace. By the way, Mitch, today your wife tweeted that she bought the best steak? No, I'm going to call Vanessa and go to your house for dinner. Remember to open your wine cabinet, the doctor said that after my shoulder and right knee are repaired with platelets, I can drink red wine to promote blood circulation, and the effect will be better. "Kobe Bryant's face says I went to your house to eat to give you face.
"Oh, God, if you don't let you go, you'll probably tear down my house, I think you've been thinking about my wine cabinet for a long time, right?" Kupchak said disdainfully.
"Paul, how about coming to my house for dinner tonight? Carlisle's technique of frying steak can be compared to that of a chef! "Kupchak invited Gasol.
Carlisle Kupchak is his wife, married to a chef before becoming a stay-at-home wife after having children.
"I'm honored." Gasol knows that Kupchak now wants to renew his relationship, but he did not refuse, although he is very dissatisfied with what the Lakers have done in recent years, he still does not want to stiffen the relationship with the Lakers, and it is a little bit to ease up.
Kupchak naturally wants to re-establish a relationship with Gasol, and there are really not many inside lines in the league who can compare with Gasol, but last year's Howard was better and younger.
