Chapter 128 Waiting for the Opportunity and Dashan's Endorsement
Except for the locker room, all the Lakers players boarded the Lakers bus to the airport.Along the way, the atmosphere was dull.Everyone, including players and coaches, was silent.It's no wonder that the loss to the Suns, which was much weaker than their own, made the Lakers feel disappointed.Lose is lost, no excuses!
Wharton and Shaw sat at the front of the bus.After the two discussed for a while, Walton nodded, got up, turned his head, and clapped his hands to all the members of the Lakers sitting behind him, "Everyone pay attention, I have something to say!"
Hearing this, all the Lakers players poked their heads out of their seats to look at their head coach.
"I know that everyone's life is not good these two days. Yes, we suffered two consecutive losses." Wharton's tone was not too low, but full of ridicule, "It's nothing. For example, last season, last season, we had more than 10 consecutive losses."
This remark caused many players and many players who had experienced that period to laugh out of embarrassment.
Walton paused for a few seconds, then changed the subject and told all the players loudly in a firm tone, "For the time being, I think our current situation is that the team's cooperation is immature. Because we made a lot of personnel adjustments in the summer. We lost Mozkov and Russell; we got new teammates, Lopez and Jiang Dashan; and we have three rookies. Yes, we can make excuses. The team is immature and we need to adjust. However, the glory of the Lakers does not allow us to do this! You guys, take a look, you guys are the future of the Lakers! I don’t want to go through another damn season! Not getting 30 wins. Because every time, I’m ashamed! Every time in the street, someone will point at me and say, look, that’s the head coach of the Lakers with less than 30 wins! Vice president of the Western Conference! We lost!" Hearing this, most of the players bowed their heads in silence.
"Listening, you face yourself now, most of you are the pride of heaven. The Lakers team signed three lists for three consecutive years! Yes, now most of them are rookies. You have enough ability. Everyone who comes here is lucky! Because only you are lucky enough, and you may sit in the NBA. At 3 meters J, he has to be lucky enough to log in to the NBA. "Everyone looked at Jiang Dashan, Jiang Dashan smiled bitterly, agreed.Yes, to become a member of the NBA, strength is one thing, luck is another.You are strong enough, but you cannot escape injuries and man-made disasters.For example, Embiid of the current 1ers, if he continues to be injured, he is likely to change from a new star to a generational joke; for example, Thomas Jr., his hip injury has cost him a big enough price.If Jiang Dashan was injured that once, it is estimated that the possibility of landing in the NBA would be much smaller.
"Since God has given you this lucky opportunity, then, I beg you all to enjoy and make good use of this opportunity. You are tired, I know; but aren't your opponents tired? In the next game, I want to see you in a different way. I want to see you full of fighting spirit! Instead of being sluggish like you are now! Do you understand?" Wharton asked the players loudly.
"Understood!" The players cheered up and answered loudly.
After a while, the bus stopped at the airport and the players got off.Soon, everyone boarded the plane.
Wharton and Xiao were at the front of the common cabin, and there were no players around them. "Shaw, do you think there is a big problem between Ingram and Lonzo?" Walton believes that there may be some differences among the rookies in the Lakers team.
"There is competition, which is a good thing! This can make young players more energetic and maintain a better fighting spirit." Xiao thinks there is no big problem.
"Maybe. But you also watched the game. In two games, they didn't show enough talent. Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma, their performance was far from satisfactory." Walton was a little worried.
"The season has just started. Don't be too hard on these youngsters."
"However, have you noticed that the chemical reaction between Lonzo and Ingram did not appear. Their cooperation on the field is not as good as their interaction with Jiang Dashan! And Jiang Dashan only played for more than 20 minutes in the two games!"
Hearing this, Xiao also frowned, "Do you think they are fighting for the boss?"
"Yes!" Wharton was a little helpless.
"As you said, I also noticed. For example, in the first overtime, after Ingram tied the game at the final J buzzer, he found Lonzo and complained. I asked Kuzma, and he said that Ingram was questioning Lonzo, why he didn't pass the ball to him, but to Kuzma."
"But Ingram was blocked by Griffin at the time, and he didn't have any position to receive the ball." Walton mused.
"Yes, but Ingram thinks Lonzo did it on purpose. And Lonzo didn't deny it." Xiao flirted with Walton, "So what do you think?"
"You can also see it in overtime. There is almost no intersection between the two, and they can't even pass the ball. If this matter is not resolved, I'm afraid it will have an impact on future games."
"Indeed."
"So, are you going to tell management?" Shaw asked.
"No, I need an opportunity!" Wharton smiled slightly.
"J?" Xiao and Wharton looked at each other and smiled, then closed their eyes and rested, as if nothing had happened.
When Jiang Dashan returned home, it was already early morning, so the next day's training was cancelled, and he went to the arena to report in the afternoon.After all, they are human beings, not monsters. At this time, there will be another 4 o'clock in the morning, and it is estimated that we can see Jesus at 4 o'clock in the morning!
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Jiang Dashan was called out from under the quilt by Lina. Jiang Dashan packed up and came to the living room, only to find that O'Neill was already waiting.
"Sorry Shaq, I'm so tired. Back to back, and I rushed back to Los Angeles overnight." Jiang Dashan picked up the morning Lina prepared for him, and started to eat, in front of O'Neill, without being particular.
"It doesn't matter. I used to do that often when I was a player." O'Neal took the tea Lina poured for him. "This tea tastes very good! This is my fifth cup!"
"Okay, Shaq, I know I've kept you waiting. So, get on with it."
"Two things! Both are good news!" O'Neill raised his right hand towards Jiang Dashan, making a 2 gesture.
"Isn't it only endorsement?" Xie Fengfeng came out from the side room.
"Your little brother is really impolite. I don't know how adults are talking, so children can't interrupt?" O'Neill complained, Jiang Dashan gave Xie Fengfeng a look, and Xie Fengfeng grinned.
"That's right." O'Neill took a sip of water in satisfaction, "Thank you, I need another glass." He turned his head to hold the glass and shook it at Lina.
"Talk about the endorsement!" Jiang Dashan snatched the cup.
"You are too rude, J, okay. Nike, I will give you a one-year contract of 800 million US dollars. I hope to sign it for 2 years first. It will last until another contract between you and the Lakers begins!" O'Neill took the tea poured by Lina for him, wiped his mouth, and continued, "The total is 1600 million. You must know that James endorses Nike, and it is only about 1500 million a year. Of course, there is also a sales commission. "
"Okay, take it. What about the other thing?" Jiang Dashan asked.
O'Neal glanced at the crowd, then looked at Jiang Dashan.
"Look, there are no outsiders here." Jiang Dashan motioned to O'Neill and said directly.
But O'Neal was still very cautious, he glanced at Linda beside Xie Fengfeng.
Xie Fengfeng took Linda out for shopping with a sense of humor.
"Okay, let's talk, now, there are only three of us." Only Jiang Dashan, O'Neill, and Jiang's wife Lina were left in the house.
"Wharton called me. He hopes that you and Brewer will become the leaders of the Lakers locker room! Brewer is a veteran. Although he may not have many opportunities to play, he can definitely help rookies. You are not old, but you have comprehensive skills, especially your hard work. Many players regard you as a role model!"
"Really, I thought he wanted me to be the boss of the Lakers!" Jiang Dashan expressed a little regret.
"Take your time! At least, you have enough backing! Become the leader of the locker room, and you will have enough power to speak!" O'Neill's voice was full of temptation.
"But it doesn't mean that you can become one! I need an opportunity!"
