MTL - Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife-Chapter 15 The biggest problem he needs to solve
However, Vujacic quickly discovered that he did not comfort others. Judging from Phil Jackson's arrangement during the afternoon joint practice, Li Wan will serve as the team's second or third substitute in the new season.
In other words, form direct competition with him.
As the 27th pick in the first round in 2004, Vujacic came to the NBA with the reputation of a "Slovenian genius".
Initially, the Lakers wanted him to switch to the 1 position and take Fisher's place.
It's just that the final result was not satisfactory, and his position gradually stabilized: the first round of the Lakers' No. 2 position, Kobe's backup.
Now Li Wan is competing with him, which will inevitably affect his playing time.
He averaged just 12.8 minutes per game last season.
If this playing time is further compressed, his playing time in the new season is estimated to be only single digits. This year is his contract year, which is certainly not what he wants to see.
For him now, there are only two options. The first is to adapt to the strength of the No. 3 position, to be a swingman at the front and back, and to make up for the time squeezed by Li Wan at the No. 3 position, but he is only at the No. 2 position against those who The heavy "tank" has already felt exhausted, and when he encounters the more aggressive No. 3 position, he is afraid that it will further expose the problem of his lack of confrontation ability;
Second option...
Work hard to give a good performance and squeeze Li Wan out of the No. 2 position!
Of course, this also has certain difficulties.
Other than that, if he was asked to fight Jordan Farmar one-on-one, he really couldn't do the kind of suppression that Li Wan had.
Therefore, when the team's joint practice ended, Vujacic saw that Li Wan stayed to practice ball control and shooting, and he also stayed.
The two newcomers saw that Li Wan wouldn't leave, so of course they couldn't either.
Jordan Farmar, who had just tortured Li Wan in the bullfight in the morning, also chose to stay.
That's five people.
In addition, there is Kobe Bryant who is quietly training next to him.
The others did not dare to leave for a while.
Including Odom and Bynum.
Going at this time is "shooting the first bird", and the result is the "death stare" that attracts Kobe.
Phil Handy thought that everyone didn't hear it clearly, and repeated: "Today's training is over, and the training will start at 8:30 tomorrow, everyone!"
But these people were still training separately, and it was only at this time that Phil Handy reacted. This is the rhythm of the collective staying and practicing. He raised his eyebrows slightly. To be honest, the training atmosphere of the Lakers was not so good. I didn't expect everyone to be so positive on the first day of the new season. He didn't say anything more, packed his things and went back to the office.
The full training lasted for an hour before it ended.
Kobe looked at his teammates who left the court in twos and threes, but unconsciously showed a smile.
Like Phil Handy, he didn't expect everyone's enthusiasm on the first day of the new season to be so high.
He was very pleased with the attitude of his teammates.
Bynum pulled Odom and looked stunned: "Just, did Kobe just smile?"
Odom didn't look at Kobe, but looked at him: "Are you smoking too much marijuana?"
Bynum nodded, he should have read it wrong, how could Kobe laugh!
The last one walked towards the locker room, and there were noisy voices, especially Odom's voice.
"Guys, I've already made a reservation for the nightclub. Are you ready to indulge after training? Especially you newcomers, remember, this is the best way to decompress, I..."
These two guys!
Kobe shook his head helplessly.
The excited voice stopped abruptly when he pushed the door out. Odom, who was standing in the center of the locker room, returned to his locker in a second, shrugging his shoulders and fiddling with his mobile phone, very honest.
Bynum, who had just listened to Odom's smirk, froze for a moment, and turned to open his wardrobe: "Where's my perfume?"
After waiting for Kobe to change clothes and take his own things to leave, the two of them shouted excitedly: "Come here to buy, new people!"
Odom also specifically explained: "I'm not afraid of Kobe, I respect Kobe!"
Bynum next to him nodded again and again, and the chicken said as if he were pecking at rice: "There are no people who are afraid of Kobe, only those who respect Kobe!"
Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States and one of the cities with the best economy in the United States. Here, you have 999 reasons to make yourself work hard, but also a thousand kinds of excuses to degenerate yourself.
Staples is located in the most prosperous part of Los Angeles. When you walk out of the arena, you can see a lot of high-rise buildings. The streets are full of traffic. The crowd is like a tidal wave. There is a bar street next to it. Both fantasy and real. Outside the bar, shouting and wanton indulgence of the crowd, flashing advertising lights of famous beer brands, people do not know where to go for a while.
After admiring the newcomers' unseen appearance, Odom took them to the nightclub they frequented.
There are many American nightclubs, and there are many types, some specializing in smoking leaves, some specializing in **** reception, and some special Lala nightclubs, and the types meet various needs.
Going the wrong way can also get you into trouble. Therefore, Odom specially warned that there are a few nightclubs that are absolutely not allowed to go.
The nightclub that Odom often goes to is called "theedmon", a nightclub that specializes in finding passion. The men and women who come here have only one purpose: to indulge.
It's only seven or eight o'clock, but the bar is already crowded.
The air was mixed with tobacco and alcohol and the inexplicable smell of the nose. The DJ turned the music to the loudest, almost deafening the ears. Both men and women wriggled their waists and hips frantically on the dance floor.
Beautifully dressed women play in the crowd of men, or use frivolous language to tease those men who can't control them, or they are attacked by those men, and they can't help themselves.
Lamar Odom and Bynum came in, attracting most of the attention and screaming.
It's close to Staples and it's filled with a lot of Lakers fans.
Magic Johnson once said: "NBA players, no matter which city you play in, there are always many women who come to your door. Every time you return to the hotel after a game, there will be many girls in the lobby. Man, they're all beautiful. They're waiting in the hall on the pretense of getting autographs to do what they really want."
He was talking about a hotel, and this was a nightclub. These female fans were completely disregarding their restraint, and some of them couldn't wait to send their own "balls" to contribute to improving their ball-handling ability.
Li Wan sat down at the booth set by Odom, pretended not to know this group of people, and successfully avoided being harassed by women.
His eyes wandered on the dance floor not far away, the lights flickered on and off, and he saw a woman. A fair face, with a stern look, dark and deep eyes, with a charming color, those thick eyebrows, a high nose, and a beautiful lip...
It's his type.
Li Wan was about to attack, but Odom hadn't forgotten about him, so he found two beauties with heavy makeup and "giant buttocks" for him.
OK, he knows Odom's preferences very well, and it is indeed the best in his eyes!
Li Wan should have been moved to be able to think about taking care of the newcomer at this time, but... He glanced at the two beauties who were winking at him, and felt that he didn't need to be so polite.
Odom thought he was embarrassed, and with an order, two women rushed over like wolves.
When Li Wan woke up this morning, it never occurred to him that the biggest problem he needed to solve wasn't Phil Jackson, nor was it on the court.
After successfully escaping the clutches of the two "giant buttocks" beauties, Li Wan returned to the apartment he rented. Originally, he planned to find the glamorous beauty that he saw on the dance floor, but after the deal was over, the beauty disappeared, and he didn't continue to soak in the mood.
