MTL - Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife-Chapter 16 Take makeup photos
The four irons of life.
Li Wan is now considered to have a relationship with Odom.
So as soon as they met the next day, he proposed the idea of a bullfight with Odom.
Odom thought he heard it wrong at first, but after Li Wan repeated it again, he couldn't help laughing: "Man, you don't think you can beat Jordan if you can beat me?"
Still he agreed.
"While there are not many people, let's fight quickly!"
It turns out that Odom was right.
11-5.
Lamar Odom simply won the final victory.
"You're already amazing, at least it made me sweat!"
He also sent Li Wan a piece of trash talk.
Li Wan was not discouraged, the result was within his expectations.
Although his physical fitness and ball handling have improved in all aspects. Playing Jordan Farmar, a guy whose height, weight and physical quality are not comparable to him, can naturally be crushed by purely dynamic and static talents, but when he encounters a guy like Lamar Odom, whose physical condition and physical quality are not bad, It exposed the weakness of his inexperience in singles with the ball.
And Odom is not a very good ball-handling defender in the entire league.
He still has a long way to go!
In the next time, he will have the opportunity to duel with Odom to hone his skills.
The days go by, October 1st, the media release day, is also the day when the entire Lakers team takes their makeup photos.
Kupchak came to the training hall and happened to see Li Wan fighting with Odom. He ran over and patted him on the shoulder: "You really suffered!"
Why didn't the old thief arrange a bullfight between Kobe and Li Wan!
After that, I went to Phil Jackson.
Li Wan: ? ? ?
"Just how much is it?"
Li Wan, who was holding the ball, asked.
Odom recalled seriously: "7 to 7 or 7 to 9?"
Taking this opportunity, Li Wan suddenly broke through the basket, Odom turned around and couldn't catch up, and watched Li Wan put the basket into the frame.
"11 to 7, sorry, Lamar, I won!"
Li Wan picked up the ball and looked at Odom with a smile.
Odom put his hands on his hips and rolled his eyes. He looked disgusted, but he felt somewhat emotional. He could easily defeat Li Wan half a month ago, and now this guy can fight him back and forth.
Amazing transformation ability!
Kupchak also went to Phil Jackson's head coaching office at this time.
The "Zen Master" who was discussing the team's lineup with Phil Handy saw him enter the door and saw a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He really wanted to take off the belt around his waist and slap him like Jenny Buss.
What are you doing here?
Phil Jackson asked with his eyes.
"Today is the day to take the makeup photo. Let me ask you, how did the Lakers take the makeup photo this year?"
Every NBA team takes a photo of their players before the start of the new season.
The status of the players in the team can also be seen from the shooting of the makeup photos.
The promotional notes of the core of the team will be hung on the team's official website and will be posted in the arena.
The team's "water cooler" administrator may only take a large group photo.
To put it bluntly, Kupchak came to ask if the makeup photo was fake, and asked Li Wan how much playing time in the playoffs and even the regular season was true.
"Do you need to ask me about that, man? I'm not the general manager of the Lakers."
Phil Jackson did not answer.
Kupchak was not annoyed, and continued to smile: "Then I plan to shoot Li Wan with Vladimir and Maurice Evans. What do you think?"
Both men played around 20 minutes last season and were the Lakers' main rotation.
In other words, the old man hoped that Li Wan would have about 20 minutes of playing time.
"This is also for him to better play his value!"
Kupchak added another sentence.
Phil Jackson agreed, not because he believed this old nonsense, but originally, he had planned to use Li Wan as the main rotation.
These days, Li Wan has shown a very dazzling teamwork ability in training. Whether it is communicating with teammates or running tactics, they are all excellent!
Of course, he will not waste the opportunity to adapt to the NBA rhythm in the preseason.
Kupchak achieved his goal and left without saying anything more.
When he returned to the stadium, the photographer on the scene had already started to take the team's makeup photos. "Little Shark" Bynum stood with Kobe, not excited, only nervous.
"Hey man, relax, you look like someone's going to eat you!"
The photographer took a few shots, feeling dissatisfied, telling some jokes to relax, Kobe glanced at Bynum, this time, he was even more nervous.
After dawdling for more than ten minutes, this makeup photo was finally taken.
Away from the "Black Mamba Field", Bynum was excited.
Standing with Bryant to take the makeup photos of the new season, there is no doubt that he is one of the cores of the Lakers' new season.
Of course, Kobe took a few more separate photos later, proving his uniqueness on this team. But under Kobe, this position is also very good.
"Okay, it's your turn!"
According to Kupchak, Li Wan took a makeup photo with Vladimir Radmanovic and Maurice Evans.
When Evans noticed that he was taking a makeup photo with the new Chinese couple, there was an instinctive resistance in his eyes.
He has been hostile to Li Wan for a long time.
It can be seen from Phil Jackson's use of Li Wan in the training game that the two of them have similar positions in the Lakers. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
They're all swingers at positions two and three.
Now the photo is in the same team again, which undoubtedly shows that the number one enemy who will compete with him for playing time in the new season is Li Wan.
After taking the photo, Su Qun, who came to interview him today, gave him a thumbs up: "Okay, Xiao Li, he's very handsome!"
Also happy for Li Wan.
Kupchak, who has been following the NBA for so many years, must have understood the signal that Kupchak wanted to release by taking the makeup photos of this combination.
This shows that Phil Jackson's attitude towards Li Wan has changed. This news will definitely make many fans happy.
"You don't know how popular you are in China after the summer league. When I interviewed you in the NCAA last year, I didn't expect you to play so quickly!"
Li Wan smiled and said nothing.
He can actually imagine how much domestic fans expect him. After all, Yili came to let him speak. Just by looking at the popularity of the spokespersons they signed in front of them, you can know how many people Li Wan is discussing in China.
However, at the same time, there are more and more of his black fans.
As for why there are so many black fans...
The reason is probably similar to Kobe and LeBron James. - Brainless fans blow too much!
That is, traffic backlash.
A regular NBA game has not yet been played, and many fans in China already think that he can make the All-Star!
How can such flattery not arouse the disgust of others?
In particular, many fans are using Li Wan to step on Yi Jianlian, which makes most fans even more disgusted.
Now Li Wan, there are many domestic fans who expect him to perform well in the new season, and there are also many domestic fans who want to see him make a fool of himself.
