318: The new spokesperson who is full of talk, and the team is about to fall out of the playoffs?
Seeing that the rich man's daughter arrived, Thompson left very interestingly:
"You talk slowly, I, an old man, will not participate in the topic of you young people. Shay, remember to lock the door for me when you leave. ”
Watching Thompson leave, Shay pursed his lips.
This Nima, how can the more I look at you, the more you look like a lapid!
Seeing this, Shay immediately took it out, ready to make a quick decision: "Okay, where can I sign it?" ”
Being able to pull out a pen and sign autographs anytime and anywhere is an essential quality of a superstar.
However, Ivanka did not rush to sign the autograph, but happily sat across from Shay. Immediately after, the two of them chatted one after another.
Ivanka seems to be trying very hard to prove to Shay that "I'm not the kind of rich second generation who relies on Daddy" in order to win Shay's favor.
Therefore, I told Shay a lot of stories about how she didn't rely on her father since she was a child and was independent.
However, these stories made Shay laugh.
For example, she said she had done a lot of brave things.
One of the bravest of them was the business class she had ever flown on a plane alone!
After all, she usually flies on her father's private jet.
Shay listened to the fun, this is all brave, then most of them are not outlaws?
For another example, she has liked to be self-reliant since she was a child, and when she was very young, she made her own lemonade to sell.
But because I live in a villa area, it is sparsely populated, so I didn't sell a cup for half a day.
So the independent Ivanka had an idea and thought of a way that even the old capitalists had to clap their legs - that is, to sell lemonade to her own servants and bodyguards, and it is clear that the lemonade business has been very hot.
A wave of exports turned to domestic sales, and he made a lot of money at a young age.
Shay couldn't help but give a thumbs up after hearing this: "You are indeed this!" ”
Now Shay finally knows why so many people fail to start their businesses.
Because you don't have bodyguards or servants at home!
is worthy of being the daughter of a banknote, and her perception of bravery and independence is very different from that of ordinary people.
However, Shay found that this Ivanka was quite interesting.
As they chatted, Ivanka suddenly put her hands on the table and leaned over to Shay.
As a righteous gentleman, Shay is naturally a Miao Renfeng without squinting.
"Actually. I'm looking for you today not just to meet the school's basketball legends.
I want to ask you for something. ”
Shay hurriedly grabbed the handle of the chair, isn't it, the senior sister is also a shallow rule for the senior?
You don't want this, I'm not the kind of random man!
Seeing that Shay was a little frightened, Ivanka smiled, then stood up and walked around in front of Shay, showing her figure very generously to Shay:
"Look, I'm not in bad shape, am I? But people in the fashion industry say that I relied on my father's relationship to get some good shooting and catwalk resources.
But I think that I also have the strength, I have also worked very hard to take modeling courses, and I have worked very hard to manage my body.
Shay, sign me to be a model for your brand!
I just wanted a chance to prove myself!
Tell the world that I can do it without my own father! ”
Although Ivanka is a well-known model at a young age, she has walked through many shows, appeared in major fashion magazines, and been a beauty pageant champion.
But in the fashion industry, she has always been labeled as a "relational household".
It's no wonder that people think so, after all, the beauty contests where she won the championship were run by his father
And Shay's brand, because of the fire of those four models, is now also considered the "cradle of potential models".
The four of them successfully signed a contract with Victoria's Secret by becoming the spokesperson of Shay's brand as a stepping stone.
Therefore, now Shay but any model Shay signs will attract attention and be considered the next potential star.
No, Shay's recently signed Carolina. Kokuva and Miranda. Kerr, because of the endorsement of Shay's brand, has become more and more popular in the fashion industry.
Major luxury brands have also thrown olive branches to them who were originally unknown.
In basketball, for example, Shay is the equivalent of an NCAA school. Players who play here are naturally more scouted.
Therefore, Ivanka also wants to become Shay's spokesperson, so as to become a real top model!
is worthy of being a moneymaker's daughter, and seeing that she is really not as simple as seeing a basketball idol.
I really don't understand people like you who have to come out to find trouble with your father, and I really want to have your troubles!
Of course, Shay won't help in vain, in that case, hehe, then Mrs. will agree to my request~
Shay shook his head, putting away the idea that he had watched too many movies. Actually, when he asked:
"It's not impossible to sign you, but for better publicity
Your dad's billboards outside the building should be fine for free, right? ”
The advertising space outside those buildings in New York is sky-high.
Shay can't afford to rent it, but why don't you want something that can be prostituted for nothing?
"Of course that's fine! A matter of words! ”
Ivanka nodded briskly, and it was of course her freedom to hang whatever she wanted outside her house.
In addition to being able to prostitute advertising space for nothing, Ivanka is also a very topical person.
Therefore, signing her as its spokesperson also has a certain publicity effect.
This signing is only a profit for Shay!
So Shay pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a while, then nodded: "That's it, I'll go back and think about it." Leave a phone number for easy appointments! ”
"Really? Haha great! Oops, I accidentally talked so late, I'll drive you back to the hotel! ”
In this way, when Shay returned to Los Angeles the next day, the newspapers not only published his jersey retirement ceremony at Georgetown University, but also reported on his "sweet date" with the daughter of a real estate tycoon.
The photo of Ivanka driving Shay back to the hotel appeared in the newspaper without any suspense.
"Shay really didn't hook up with female stars this season, he hooked up with the second generation of rich women!"
"Ivanka isn't necessarily the prettiest of all Shay's female companions, but she's certainly the richest!"
"Ivanka, who has 1.9 meters after wearing high heels, is indeed a very good match with Shay."
Since Ivanka is only 17 years old now, countless men can only envy Shay to the point of crying.
Who the knows how much freshly ripe fruit Shay has around!
Aunt Jenny also cried and fainted in the toilet, this one is younger than me, even if his father is richer than my father!
Lost, this time it was a complete loss!
Shay looked at the news in the newspaper and nodded in satisfaction.
Judging by this degree of discussion. Shay feels that signing Ivanka as its spokesperson is really very profitable!
For a while, the topic of Shay hooking up with the daughter of a super-rich family became the talk of the Lakers after dinner.
But in this cheerful atmosphere, the Lakers suffered their first loss since Shay's return.
And, if you don't lose, it's enough, and once you lose, you will have two consecutive defeats.
On April 7th, 8th and 9th, for three consecutive days, the Lakers will face the "featured dungeons" of the shortened season - back-to-back games!
Three days in a row, three games in a row.
And the worst thing is that the three games are not all played in one place, but a very perverted home-and-away-home schedule.
On the first day, the Lakers had to play at home in Los Angeles, and immediately after the game, they had to rush to the next location to play on the road. Then the second day was played away, and on the third day, we had to rush back to Los Angeles to continue the game.
You don't talk about playing basketball, it's tiring to let Rodman go back-to-back in such a different place.
Isn't that how he and Carmen got divorced?
This schedule is terrifying enough, and the Lakers' three back-to-back opponents are all very strong.
In the first game, the Lakers' opponent was the San Antonio Spurs, the current Western hegemon and considered the biggest favorite to win the championship besides the Knicks.
In the second game, the Lakers' opponent was an old friend, the Utah Jazz. The Jazz are on par with the Spurs this season, and the battle for the first place in the West with the Spurs is quite fierce.
Jazz's super-long standby Xuan Ming two elders + Alain. The combination of Houston is indeed strong.
In the third game, the Lakers also had to face the Sacramento Kings, who began to shine after bringing in Kidd and playing Princeton.
In the game before Shay's comeback, the Lakers lost to the Kings.
As many Los Angeles fans know, these three games are certainly not going to be easy.
But I didn't expect it to be so unpleasant, in the first two games of back-to-back, the Lakers actually lost two in a row!
In the first game against the Spurs, Shay had a poor hand, and Pippen's defensive skills were not reduced, so Shay only hit 1 of 5 three-pointers and only scored 31 points.
The Spurs Twin Towers showed their powers, with 22 points for the Admirals and 24 points for the all-time No. 1 Dumb Forward.
The Lakers' interior line is the same as the 76ers' interior problem - they can't withstand a strong interior line.
Big itself is too tall and too short, and top defense is not his specialty. In the original history, in the Pistons, although Big Ben played the No. 5 position, the top people were often roaring Tianzun.
Little O'Neill is too thin now, and he can't stand it. Once someone else hits him strongly, he is completely out of line.
These two can rely on excellent defensive ability to block the penalty area, but in the face of a strong interior line with strong heads-up ability in the low post, it seems to be powerless.
Moreover, the Admiral and Duncan do not occupy space for each other, because they both have excellent mid-range shooting ability, and the Admiral is the representative of the first generation of iron-blooded jumpers.
In the end, the Lakers' interior line was blown upside down and lost the game by 8 points.
After the game, Popovich was very proud: "Before the game, someone said that we would lose, but I don't understand, how can the first lottery team in the West lose?" ”
The old thief didn't take Shay seriously at all, and now he feels that the whole world is his own!
The exhaustion of the game against the Spurs also affected the back-to-back games on the second day.
After flying to Salt Lake City the next day, the entire Lakers team was very tired.
hasn't recovered yet, and has to face a strong enemy like the Utah Jazz.
Because of his exhaustion, O'Neal Jr. was leaky on the defensive end today.
Either react too slowly or overreact.
In the past, playing Jazz, Shay could also deal with Malone on the defensive end.
But now, the Jazz also have a tricky mid-range pitcher to deal with.
Therefore, Shay could only watch Xiao Ao being played by the old and strong Malone again and again.
Eventually, Carl. Malone actually played a 12-of-12 game and scored 30 points with a 100% shooting rate!
Today, the postman is indeed at work!
There are actually a lot of games with more than 10 shots and 100 shots, Yao Mingyuan has had 12-of-12 performances in the NBA in his history, and Payton, a point guard who is not good at offense, has also played 14-of-14 games.
The most outrageous is Tony. Allen, the super partial guard who struggles to make baskets, once scored 27 points on 12-of-12 in a game against the Lakers in 16, and knocked Kobe Bryant out!
Therefore, a 100% shooting percentage does not directly represent the difference in strength between the two opposing players.
It can only be said that the Lakers met Carl, who felt very good, when they were at their most tired. Malone.
Xiao Ao was blown up, and Finley also had a bad hand due to continuous battles, and failed to give Shay enough support.
In this way, the Lakers' record became 14-23 after a wave of two consecutive losses.
According to the theory of "winning at least 25 games to be able to enter the playoffs", the Lakers are undoubtedly standing on the edge of the cliff now, and they may fall to pieces at any time!
For a while, the all-ugly media and Stern also breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, Shay finally lost!
Sure enough, if the Lakers want to enter the playoffs this season, it's hellish difficulty at all!
Shay loses, media frenzy:
Shay hooked up with the daughter of a rich family, and he could also start to consider changing his career to the commercial field and changing tracks.
As it turns out, the Lakers are still unlikely to make the playoffs this season! ”
"The Lakers did win the Knicks and the 76ers before, but don't forget, this league is now strong in the West and weak in the East.
Just because Shay can win against the strong teams in the East doesn't mean that he can also win against the strong teams in the West.
Since Shay's comeback, the only two Western teams the Lakers have won have been the SuperSonics and the Clippers.
Not to mention the Clippers, the SuperSonics are only struggling on the brink of the playoffs this season.
Therefore, in the face of the crusade of a number of Western teams, the Lakers will soon fall out of the playoffs! ”
"Shay may still be strong on his own, but he still can't lead the team to the playoffs!"
The media held back for a long time, and finally they could hum Shay.
And before the Lakers players had time to get upset, they had to drag their tired bodies back to Los Angeles overnight.
Most people feel that in this third game of a back-to-back, the Lakers will not be able to win.
After all, the Lakers have now fallen to their lowest point, both mentally and physically.
Even the current leader of the Kings, the leading scorer in the world, Jason. Kidd thinks so, too.
When he and his team arrived in Los Angeles for an interview, Kidd, who was not so low-key now, smiled happily and felt like he had eaten a piece of fat.
Think about it, if you can beat the Lakers with Shay, then you won't be famous in the country?
And on the contrary, now is the time when the Lakers and Shay are the most vulnerable!
So, facing the camera's camera, Kidd uttered the famous phrase that made people suspect that he had bought a fake diploma:
"In Los Angeles, I'm going to lead the team on a gorgeous 360° turn! In the past, Kings fans always regretted that they traded Shay away in the draft, and from now on, they won't have that regret again. ”
When the reporters heard this, they didn't feel right.
Turning 360° is not the same as not turning!
Kidd also seemed to react, scratching his head in embarrassment:
"Oops, anyway.
We're going to win tonight! ”
The unhappy Los Angeles reporter deliberately reminded Kidd of a sentence:
"Although the Kings have beaten the Lakers twice before, this Lakers team is different now. Are you sure you can still lead the team to win the game?"
Kidd nodded his head with an oath:
"What about Shay's team? Didn't the Lakers still lose two in a row?
In my opinion, the current Lakers are not much different from the Lakers before them.
It's just that the defense needs to work harder.
The Lakers do have a bit of strength, but
After all, it's a team that can't make the playoffs! ”
Kidd, who was talking eloquently, had no idea how much trouble he had already caused.
Shay made up his mind when he got off the plane and learned from reporters what Kidd had said in an interview.
Even if he was on his own tonight, he had to let Kidd lie down and get out!
When Lao Tzu was the first point guard in the league, you were still playing with boogers!
The Lakers are already on the edge of the cliff?
It's okay, with me on top, I can't fall!
Today's 10,000-word update is presented, and the conscience of the old man kneels and begs for a monthly pass!
