Basketball: Start with the nerve knife

Chapter 15 The Biggest Problem He Needs to Solve

However, Vujacic soon discovered that he had no position of consoling others. Judging from the arrangement of Phil Jackson during the joint practice in the afternoon, Li Wan will serve as the team's second and third substitute in the new season.

In other words, form direct competition with him.

As the rookie with the 04th pick in the first round in 27, Vujacic came to the NBA under the name of "Slovenian genius".

At first, the Lakers wanted him to switch to the No. [-] position to replace Fisher.

It's just that the final result was not satisfactory, and his position gradually stabilized: the Lakers' second position in the first rotation, Kobe's substitute.

Now that Li Wan is competing with him, it will definitely 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 choices. The first one is to adapt to the strength of the third position, to be a swingman, and to make up for the time squeezed out by Li Wan in the third position. The heavy-duty "tank" is already feeling strenuous, and if he encounters the more aggressive No. [-] position, it may further expose his lack of resistance;
Second option...

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

Of course, this also has certain difficulties.

Apart from other things, if he were to face off with Jordan Farmar, he really wouldn't be able to suppress like Li Wan.

Therefore, when the team's joint training ended, Vujacic saw that Li Wan stayed to practice ball handling and shooting, so he also stayed.

The two newcomers saw that Li Wan wouldn't leave, so of course they couldn't either.

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

That's five people.

In addition, there is Kobe Bryant who is silently 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 head bird", and the result is to invite Kobe's "death stare".

Phil Handy thought everyone didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again: "Today's training camp is over, and training will start at 8:[-] tomorrow. Don't forget!"

But this group of people is still training separately. At this time, Phil Handy realized that this is the rhythm of the group staying and training.Slightly raised his eyebrows. 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.

This extra training lasted for an hour before it ended.

Kobe looked at his teammates leaving the field in twos and threes, but unconsciously smiled.

Like Phil Handy, he didn't expect the enthusiasm of everyone on the first day of the new season.

He is very pleased with the attitude of his teammates.

Bynum pulled Odom with a surprised expression: "Just now, did Kobe just laugh?"

Odom didn't look at Kobe, but looked at him: "Did you smoke too much marijuana?"

Bynum nodded, probably because he was 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 booked a spot in the nightclub. Are you ready to indulge after training? Especially you young rookies, 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 and walked out. Odom, who was standing in the middle of the locker room, returned to his locker in a second, hunched his shoulders and fiddled with his mobile phone, very honestly.

Bynum, who was still listening to Odom's smirk just now, also froze his smile in an instant, and turned to open his closet: "Where's my perfume?"

After Kobe changed his clothes and took his own things and left, the two of them shouted excitedly again: "Come here to buy, new people!"

Odom also specifically explained: "I am not afraid of Kobe, I respect Kobe!"

Bynum next to him nodded repeatedly, and said like a chicken pecking 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 cities with the best economy in the United States. Here, you have 999 reasons to make yourself work hard, but there are also a thousand reasons to make yourself degenerate.

Staples is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Los Angeles. When you walk out of the arena, you can see tall buildings, the streets are full of traffic, and the bustling crowd is like a tide. There is a bar street next to it. Illusion is also true.The crowd outside the bar shouted and indulged, and the advertising lights of famous beer brands flashed, making people wonder where to go for a while.

After admiring the way the newcomers hadn't seen the world, Odom took them to the nightclub they often went to.

There are many nightclubs in the United States, and there are many types. Some specialize in smoking leaves, some specialize in gays, and there are special lesbian nightclubs. The types meet various needs.

Getting it wrong can also get you into trouble.Therefore, Odom specifically told him that there are a few nightclubs that he must not go to.

The nightclub Odom often goes to is called "the edmon", a nightclub dedicated to looking for passion, and 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 almost packed.

The air was mixed with tobacco, alcohol and an inexplicable pungent smell. The DJ turned up the music to the loudest, almost deafening the ears. Both men and women were frantically twisting their waists and buttocks on the dance floor.

Gorgeously dressed women are laughing and playing among the men, or using frivolous words to tease those men who can't control themselves, or being teased out of control by those men.

Odom and Bynum enter the court, attracting most of the eyes and screams.

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 they play in, there are always many women who come to their door. Every time they return to the hotel after a game, there will be many women in the lobby. They are all beautiful. They waited in the lobby and used the excuse of asking for autographs to achieve their real purpose."

He was talking about a hotel, but here was a nightclub. These female fans were completely disregarded, and some of them couldn't wait to send their own "balls" to contribute to improving their ability to control the ball.

Li Wan sat down at the booth appointed by Odom, pretending not to know this group of people, and successfully avoided being harassed by women.

His eyes wandered to 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, thick eyebrows, a high nose, beautiful lips...

It's his type.

Li Wan was about to attack, but Odom hadn't forgotten about him, and found two beauties with heavy makeup and "big buttocks" for him.

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

At such a time, Li Wan should still be thinking about taking care of the newcomer, but...he looked at the two beauties who were winking at him again, and felt that there was no need to be so polite.

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

Li Wan woke up this morning, and it never occurred to him that the biggest problem he needs to solve is not Phil Jackson, nor is it on the court.

After successfully escaping the claws of those two beauties with "big buttocks", Li Wan returned to the apartment he rented.Originally, he planned to go find the glamorous beauty he saw on the dance floor, but after he was done with it, the beauty disappeared, and he didn't want to continue dating because of his lack of interest.
