Chapter 230: Build trust with players and make them better people

Recently, Lakers legend Kobe Bryant announced on Twitter that he will sell a Christmas-themed limited edition sweatshirt.

The dress is emblazoned with a picture of Kobe Bryant dressed as Santa Claus with the words "Merry Swishmas" written on it.

It is reported that all proceeds from this dress will be donated to the Kobe Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation.

Lei Lei also wore this sweatshirt when he entered the competition before the game with Menglong, advertising his master for free.

The Lakers challenged the Menglongs away game, and the Lakers lost 100-113 to the Menglongs.

In the whole game, Brown played 35 minutes, shooting 8 of 16 from the field, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and got 17 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

Beat the doubts and hit the rookie wall!

The last stop of the Lakers' road trip, the Memphis Grizzlies!

Today, both Yang Ma and Tencent Sports broadcast the game.

Ke Fan discussed with Su Qun Nami before the start of the game: "What time is it today?" ”

"December 4th!"

Nami replied firmly.

"Then I'll test you, do you know who has a birthday today?"

Su Qun looked at Nami with a smile and said.

"Lei Lei's birthday today! I know! BJ time he's already in 20! But American time he tomorrow 20. ”

"Hahahaha, it turns out that you have really become a diehard fan of Lei Lei."

"That is, this season he led the Lakers to this point, and the record is very good, and he has improved a lot compared to last season."

"Yes, now Lei Lei can be said to be a household name."

When the two were talking, Yang Ma specially made a short video for Lei Lei to celebrate his 20th birthday!

But the protagonist has long forgotten about his birthday.

While he was sitting in the locker room, the system that had been silent in his head for a long time finally came to life.

"Today is your birthday, may all the joy, all the happiness, all the warmth, all the good luck surround you. Happy birthday!"

"Huh? Is it my birthday? So soon, I remember tomorrow. ”

"Since you are Chinese, BJ time is now December 4th, and it has now come to 10 o'clock."

"Oh, there's a reward?"

"Yes, the system has prepared a 20-year-old gift package for you, please check."

"Gone?"

"It's gone."

"Really?"

"It's really gone, goodbye host, I need to think silently in my heart, Daddy is going to sleep for beauty."

“......”

Lei Lei changed his jersey while checking the gift package given by the system.

A flash of golden light flashed.

You can upgrade one Gold Badge to Money, two Silver Badges to Gold, and so on.

This feeling is good, Lei Lei did not hesitate to raise the middle-distance magician to Zijin, and then his ability value came to 92!

The mid-range value has also been increased to 95! A qualitative leap!

Ci Shiping looked at the smirking Lei Lei at this time, and went up and said violently: "Stinky little ghost, warm up!" ”

Lei Lei touched his head and hissed and said, "What are you doing!" Hurt! ”

"Warm up!"

"Got it! How rude! ”

"Hey! You kid! ”

Lei Lei immediately ran to the door at this time and made a slight grimace.

Ci Shiping saw his expression and showed a very loving smile, and shook his head helplessly.

The Lakers also won the game easily, 110:103.

The Lakers' record comes to the Lakers' record of 17-5.

That night, when Lei Lei returned to Los Angeles, he fought several battles with Jenner at home to directly solve this backlog of emotions.

December 8th is the 60th birthday of the Celtics legend "Big Bird" Bird, and the Lakers celebrity Magic Johnson, who was once known as the "black and white" with Bird, sent his blessings to the former rival and best friend on social media.

Larry Bird was born on December 8, 1956 in West Baton, Indiana, USA.

Magic and Bird created the NBA's "Magic Bird Fight" in the '80s, which was probably the best decade in league history. On the court, the two who played for the Lakers and Celtics respectively were bitter rivals, and off the court, the Magic and Bird were close friends.

Prior to yesterday's Lakers away game against the Rockets, Lakers rookie Zubac was recalled from the Development League by the Lakers due to a serious injury situation in the team, so that he could be called on the court to help the team.

However, in the Lakers' big loss to the Rockets, Zubac was not appreciated by his coach and did not get a chance to play.

Today, the Lakers officially announced that they are sending Zubac to the Development League again to gain playing time to gain game experience, which is the third time this season that the Lakers have sent him to the Development League.

The Lakers will host the Suns.

In recent times, the injury situation on the Lakers has been very serious. According to the Lakers' official information, Blake, who sprained his ankle in the game against the Jazz, confirmed that he will continue to miss the Lakers' game against the Suns. Previously, Blake had missed the team's game against the Rockets.

Nick Young, the other injured player, has been cleared by the team doctor to return to on-court training, but will still miss the team's next two games.

Lakers head coach Scott said that regardless of whether the team can win the game or not, the players on the court must do their best and do what they need to do, rather than holding the mentality of waiting for key players to return, and injuries are never an excuse to lose.

Mike D'Antoni, former Lakers head coach and current Rockets head coach. I believe that most Lakers fans don't like him, but there is one player on the Lakers team who respects him very much, and that is Nick Young.

Before the game, he spoke to reporters about the former head coach of the Lakers. "I had almost the best season of my career under Coach Mike and I still have a lot of respect for him," Nick Young said. When I wasn't doing well on the pitch at some point, the coach would text me and talk to me. ”

And in D'Antoni's eyes, Nick Young is also a very good player. He said: 'He's very lethal on the pitch and his secret weapon is his defence, he's a very talented player and unfortunately he's had some injuries during this period. ”

Wharton said in an interview

"I'm very glad I've worked with different coaches. When I first came to Steve Kerr, he said something to us that made me feel good: 'Look, we're managing a team that's been really good now, they're really good.' So we have to come here every day to tell the players that this is their team and that we are here to help and guide them. We have to build a good relationship with the players, we have to trust them, because when you trust each other, we can coach and we can criticize and coach the players when they don't do it right. ’”
