Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 15: The biggest problem he needs to solve

However, Vújašić soon discovered that he did not take a position to comfort others, and judging from Phil Jackson’s arrangement during afternoon practice, Li Wan would be the team’s second and third substitute in the new season.

That is, to form a direct competition with him.

As the 27th pick in the first round in ’04, Vujašić came to the NBA with the name of “Slovenian talent”.

At first, the Lakers wanted him to change to No. 1 and replace Fisher.

But the final result was not satisfactory, and his position slowly stabilized: the first round of the Lakers’ No. 2 position, Kobe’s replacement.

Now Li Wan is competing with him, which is bound to 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 in the single digits. This year is his contract year, which is certainly not what he wants to see.

Now for him, there are only two choices, the first is to adapt to the strength of the third position, be a guard swing man, and make up for the time squeezed out by Li Wan in the third position, but he has already felt hard against those heavy “tanks” in the second position, and when he encounters the more fierce third position, I am afraid that it will further expose the problem of his lack of confrontation ability;

The second option…

Try to play a good performance and squeeze Li Wan out of the second position!

Of course, this is also somewhat difficult.

Other than that, if he is singled out with Jordan Farmar, he really can’t do the kind of suppression that Li Wan has.

Therefore, when the team practiced together, Vújašić saw Li Wan stay and practice ball control and shooting, and he also stayed.

The two newcomers saw that Li Wan did not leave, of course, they could not go.

Jordan Farmar, who had just bloodied Li Wan in the bullfight in the morning, also chose to stay.

That’s five people.

Plus there is Kobe Bryant who is practicing silently next to him.

Others did not dare to leave for a while.

Including Odom and Bynum.

At this time, walking is “shooting the first bird”, and the result is to attract Kobe’s “death star”.

Phil Handy thought that everyone did not hear clearly, and repeated: “Today’s training is over here, tomorrow at 8:30 will start training, don’t forget!” ”

But the gang was still training separately, and only then did Phil Handy react, which is the rhythm of the collective stay and practice. Raised his eyebrows slightly, to be honest, the training atmosphere of the Lakers is not so good, I didn’t expect the first day of the new season, the big family was so positive. He didn’t say anything more, packed up his things and went back to the office.

This all-staff exercise lasted an hour before it ended.

Kobe Bryant 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 to be so motivated on the first day of the new season.

He is still quite pleased with the attitude of his teammates.

Bynum pulled Odom and looked stunned: “Gang, did Gang Kobe smile?” ”

Odom didn’t look at Kobe Bryant and looked at him: “Are you smoking too much marijuana?” ”

Bynum nodded, it should be that he was wrong, how could Kobe laugh!

The last one walked towards the dressing room, and there was a loud noise inside, especially Odom’s voice.

“Guys, I’ve booked the card slot for the nightclub, are you ready to indulge after training? Especially you little newcomers, remember, this is the best way to decompress, I…”

These two guys!

Kobe shook his head helplessly.

The excited voice stopped abruptly the moment he pushed the door out, and Odom, who was standing in the center of the locker room, returned to his locker in a second, shrunk his shoulders and tinkered with his mobile phone, honestly.

Bynum, who had just listened to Odom’s silly smile, also froze his smile instantly, turned his head and opened his wardrobe: “What about my perfume?” ”

After waiting for Kobe to change his clothes and take his things and leave, the two of them excitedly shouted again: “Come here to buy, newcomers!” ”

Odom also specially explained: “I’m not afraid of Kobe, I respect Kobe!” ”

Bynum next to him nodded repeatedly, and the chicken pecked like rice: “There are no people who are afraid of Kobe, only people who respect Kobe!” ”

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States and one of the best economic cities in the United States, where you have 999 reasons to make yourself try, but also a thousand excuses to degenerate.

Staples is located in the most prosperous area of Los Angeles, and when you walk out of the arena, you can see the tall buildings, the streets are full of traffic, the crowds are like a tide, and there is a bar street next to it, and the neon lights everywhere are dazzling, and the lights are also real. The crowd shouting and indulgence outside the bar, flashing advertising lights for famous beer brands, makes people wonder where to go for a while.

Odom admired the newcomers’ unseen appearance and led them to the nightclub they frequented.

There are many nightclubs in the United States, and there are many types, there are those that specialize in leaf smoking, those that specialize in receiving gay, and those that specialize in pulling nightclubs, and the types meet various needs.

If you go wrong, you can get into trouble. Therefore, Odom specially advised that there are a few nightclubs that must not be visited.

Odom’s frequented nightclub is called “The Edmon”, a nightclub dedicated to passion, where men and women come for only one purpose: indulgence.

It’s only seven or eight o’clock, but the bar is already packed.

The air was mixed with the smell of alcohol, tobacco and inexplicable noses, DJs turned on the music to the loudest that almost deafened, and men and women frantically twisted their waists and hips on the dance floor.

Brightly dressed women giggle and play in the pile of men, or use frivolous language to tease men who can’t control themselves, or are provoked by those men up and down.

Odom and Bynum entered the field, attracting most of the attention and causing screams.

It’s close to Staples and is filled with Lakers fans.

Magic Johnson once said: “NBA players, no matter what city they play, there are always many women who come to the door.” Every time I returned to the hotel after a game, there would be many women in the hall, and they were very beautiful. They waited in the hall under the pretext of asking for autographs to achieve their true purpose. ”

He was talking about a hotel, and this is a nightclub, and these female fans are completely reserved, and some have eagerly sent their “balls” to contribute to improving their ball control skills.

Li Wan sat down in the booth of Odomdine, pretending not to know the group, and successfully avoided being harassed by women.

His gaze wandered off the dance floor not far away, the lights flickered on and off, and he saw a woman. The fair face, through the cold, black and deep eyes, the charming color, the thick eyebrows, the tall nose, the beautiful lip shape…

It’s the type he likes.

Li Wan was ready to attack, but Odom actually did not forget him, and found him two “giant buttocks” beauties with heavy makeup.

OK, he knows Odom’s preferences very well, and it is indeed the best in his eyes!

Being able to think about taking care of newcomers at such a time, Li Wan should have been moved, but… He glanced at the two beauties who were throwing winks at him again, and felt that he didn’t have to be so polite.

Odom thought he was embarrassed, and with an order, two women rushed over like wolves.

Li Wan woke up this morning and never imagined that the biggest problem he needed to solve was not Phil Jackson, nor was he on the court.

Successfully escaping the clutches of the two “giant buttocks” beauties, Li Wan returned to the apartment he rented. Originally, he also planned to look for the cold beauty he saw on the dance floor, but after the roundabout, the beauty disappeared, and he didn’t continue to soak.
