301. Pre-game trivia
Liu Ren didn't know that Ajiali had arrived in Los Angeles, and he was doing a pregame warm-up against the Clippers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
I have to say that Chen Hanni has a really big heart, she guessed that Liu Ren's words in front of the media were nonsense after being angry, not only did she not get angry, but she liked Liu Ren very much.
Liu Ren first attracted her to Liu Ren when the two were not familiar with each other, Liu Ren's mouth was more flowery, but his real character was a little dull, and sometimes he was stupid.
If you play the Clippers, there is actually no difference between home and away, Liu Ren asked Rivers for three tickets, to the chick, Monica and the little Lori, I originally wanted the big Lori to watch together, but the big Lori was still in confinement, and it was a little inconvenient, so I didn't come.
At first, Rivers didn't plan to give Liu Ren a ticket, but thinking of what happened to the Knicks, he decided to give it anyway!
Most of the people in the stadium were Lakers fans, but there was a bit of a pain, the original 16 championship flags of the Lakers and the retired jerseys of the Lakers' superstars who ruled all eras were now posters of the Clippers' starting five tigers.
"Damn Rivers, he actually blocked Benda's unusual jersey! Unforgivable! Boss, be sure to kill them! O'Neill said angrily.
Finally, the Lakers retired his No. 34 jersey, and was actually given by Rivers.
"I said Shaq, where did you go to get an endorsement that you haven't heard of? I checked, and the endorsements you received were all second- and third-rate brands, which are too substandard! Barkley complained.
"You and I will be happy! Now that I'm retired, it's good to get some endorsements, and you think that my commentary fee is higher than your annual salary when you played. O'Neill said depressedly.
"Oh, shi-t, when you played, your annual salary was more than 20 million, and I only had a few million, what's wrong with getting a little more money than you now!" Barkley was angry when he said that, his NBA salary of two or three million at his peak was up to the sky, and as soon as he went to Houston to hug his thighs with a low salary, the league's salary suddenly rose to twenty or thirty million and flew everywhere.
Kenny Smith didn't bother to pay attention to these two living treasures, and interrupted: "Okay, okay, the game is about to start, I don't need to introduce the starters of the two sides, everyone knows each other well, and the situation of the two sides doesn't need to be introduced......"
But before Kenny Smith could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"Kenny! Why are you so disrespectful! Barkley said angrily.
"That's right, Charles, let's explain!" O'Neill chimed in.
Kenny Smith was stunned, what happened to these two today?
"Let's take a look at how the two sides have changed this summer, the Lakers brought in Jeremy Lin this summer, and the draft also selected two point guards, one of which is Zach LaVine, a talented local point guard from Los Angeles, I have met him, very similar to Kobe, but to get stable playing time, it is estimated that he will have to wait two years like Kobe. The Lakers' core lineup has not changed, but their youngsters have improved a lot over the summer, winning the first two games by a landslide. Barkley said with a blank look.
"Charles finished talking about the Lakers, this is unusual to talk about the Clippers, last season the Clippers had a good momentum, it seems that the Spurs and Lakers have the strength to compete for the Western Conference Finals, but Sterling himself died, causing them to be eliminated in the first round, this year they have the same core lineup as the Lakers, and their performance in the first two games is also very good, I believe this is a very exciting game." O'Neill finished.
“……”
“……”
Why don't you go on? Kenny Smith rarely saw two fat men commenting so dedicatedly, and asked suspiciously, "And then?" ”
"No, that's it, that's all you wrote in your manuscript." O'Neill replied.
Barkley nodded.
"......" Kenny Smith covered his head, and he said how he thought these words were familiar, and it turned out to be a transcript he had written casually......
……
Paul is in high spirits this year, and last season's 17-game winning streak gave him enough confidence that with this group of teammates, there will definitely be a chance to win the championship!
In addition, there was a rich and willing owner in the summer, and this year's salary is higher than that of the Lakers for the first time in decades, proving that the new owner is willing to spend money to compete for the championship!
Ballmer is not like Sterling, who said that he gave carte blanche to Rivers, but he always stumbled on the salary of the player who renewed the contract and wanted to drive down the price.
In this era of imminent significant salary increases, players are like Bosh who can get as much salary as they want, if the Clippers owner is still Sterling this summer, Paul believes that he will never give Jordan Jr. a 5-year contract of more than 100 million, and Jordan Jr. wanted to renew his contract early after playing in the middle of last season and did not negotiate, so he could only watch Jordan Jr. leave.
"Kobe, finally, I can finally stand on the same level as you!" Paul said to Kobe Bryant with a fighting spirit.
"Yes," Kobe Bryant also sighed, Paul is the strongest guard he has played against in the last ten years, but the strength of the two teams is always not at the same level, the Lakers have always been championship contenders, Paul has often fought for a playoff spot, "This year you also have the strength to compete for the championship, no, it should have been last season, if our two teams meet in the Western Conference Finals this year, it will be great!" ”
"The premise is that the Clippers finish second in the West." Whiteside interjected suddenly.
Whiteside has always been hostile to the Clippers, and this time the tone was just as bad.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Kobe Bryant and Paul still had a good personal relationship, and the two almost became teammates.
"Haha, Hassan, how did you become as stingy as Liu, isn't it because you went to the Clippers for a tryout and was rejected by Rivers? But it just so happened that we became teammates. Bryant said with a smile, breaking the awkward scene.
"Damn!" Paul felt angina and turned down Whiteside, a guy who had already shown the ability to be a rebounding and blocking champion?
"That's right, it's a great feeling to be partnered with you, there are always so many rebounds, and I'm going to help you win your sixth championship!" Whiteside nodded.
The corners of Kobe's mouth twitched, is this a compliment or what? Why do you feel so uncomfortable to hear?
Seeing that Whiteside seems to be very hostile to Paul, it should be said that he is very hostile to the entire Clippers, and in the first round of the playoffs last season, this big man was completely aimed at pressing Jordan Jr. to the ground and rubbing it, Kobe Bryant hastily ended the conversation with Paul and took Whiteside to warm up with him.
Whiteside came to Liu Ren's side to practice shooting together.
"What? Did you tell him about your rejection by Rivers? Liu Ren didn't look at Whiteside and asked.
“OK。 boss。 Whiteside wondered why he was talking about it, but he did as he was told.
"Confused? Psychologically, a small hint in mind can have a huge effect over time and how things unfold, and you can just deal with Jordan in this game. Liu Ren said.
"Understood." Whiteside still doesn't understand, but if he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, he knows that Liu Ren must have his own ideas, and he thinks that just like Liu Ren said, it would be good to prevent the opposite center from dying and snatch up the rebounds.
