Chapter 41 With you, what everyone refers to has meaning!
The game is about to begin, Phil Jackson took the tactical board and explained the tactical ideas a little. In fact, these are just a little reminder before the game.
These tasks were arranged the day before the game. Even if they were not arranged, they could be executed according to previous tactical training, but there will be some subtle adjustments in the face of each team.
Phil Jackson did not make any detailed arrangements, because Zhou Mubai showed a lot of better capture of the game situation when he was on the court than making arrangements in advance.
Fisher did not come forward to listen, but sat on a stool in a daze. Only when Shannon Brown and Famar sat beside him did he seem to have come alive.
"Derick, have you heard about the transaction?" Famal asked in a low voice.
Fisher's eyes were hidden, and when he heard this, Famal was a little surprised because Fisher was twisting his face, as if he wanted to choose someone and eat it.
"How can I not know that the fruit of success will be picked, haha!"
Famar lowered his head. Whether Zhou Mubai stayed in the Lakers or Paul entered the Lakers, the starting lineup had nothing to do with him. However, once Fisher retreated to the rotation lineup, his playing time would be greatly compressed, and he was actually a victim.
Originally, he shared the forty-eight minutes with Fisher and Shannon Brown, but now he has to add one more person to share the time that is not much. He is unwilling to do so, but he has a clear positioning of himself, not as gritting his teeth as Fisher.
Famal and Shannon Brown looked at each other, and both remained silent.
"Don't you want to fight for yourself?" Fisher roared in a low voice, staring at Famal and Shannon Brown with cruel eyes.
Famal and the other two looked away and did not look at Fisher.
Shannon Brown whispered: "This is the coach's arrangement..."
"Don't tell me that ungrateful miscellaneous, we got the championship ring for him, and that's how he repays us?" Fisher said angrily. "Listen to me, let's attack together and force him to return our time to us. If he doesn't do it, we will expel him from the Lakers!"
Shannon Brown and Famal were stunned.
Brother, how confident are you? Forced to cede a palace has always been a loss-making thing. If the head coach is forced to cede a palace by a player, it will certainly be greatly damaged by prestige, and no team dares to trust it in the future.
But players join forces to force the head coach to the palace, which will also hurt their own reputation. The team will be regarded as a thorn in the locker room bomb, and it is considered a disaster for destroying the stability of the locker room. Where will any team dare to ask them in the future?
Let’s not talk about whether they are superstars, even superstars, let alone small characters like them.
Shannon Brown and Fama [Literature Museum] looked at each other and understood each other's meaning - Fisher was already crazy!
They quickly took advantage of the opportunity to snatch high with their teammates on the court, ran to the other side and sat down, and distanced themselves from Fisher to avoid being caught in the trap of fish.
Seeing that the two of them had not come back, Fisher had already understood their choice and the others had no interest, so how could they stand out because of him? He couldn't help but feel the desolation of the lonely man for a moment.
Kupchek is very concerned about the team, especially at such a critical moment. Before the game, he stepped aside and met in advance, handled the matter well, and came to the stadium early.
He was paying attention to the movements on the Lakers' bench. Seeing Fisher and Famal lower their heads and talking, his face gradually became gloomy, but later Famal and Shannon Brown left far away, he nodded and smiled. There are still many smart people.
Before the game was about to begin, Kuppchek looked around and accidentally saw Jenny Bass and Jim Bass supporting Old Bass into the arena and sitting in the second row. Kuppchek quickly went up.
"Boss, why are you here? There are so many people here, why don't I accompany you to the private room to see?"
Old Bass smiled slightly and said, "Come on, you can only see clearly here when you sit here."
The cameras on the scene captured the old Bass family and quickly placed them on the big screen. The fans cheered and encouraged them. They usually hate the Lakers and sometimes even cursed them. However, they still respect the old Bass who created the Purple Gold Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.
Chris Paul looked at Old Bass, his mouth slightly raised - Are you here to investigate me? Let me show you how powerful St. Paul is tonight!
Zhou Mubai also saw Old Bass, but he did not show any expression. He had heard of Old Bass, but he did not know him. When he came to Los Angeles before, Old Bass was just a small real estate businessman who wanted to be a chemistry teacher. Although Zhou Mubai set off a wave in the United States, Martin Luther King appeared, and he himself was hidden behind the scenes, so the two did not know each other.
As for the time when Bass made his fortune in sports investment, Zhou Mubai was forced to flee and had no chance to meet.
He is not an acquaintance, and there is no need for Zhou Mubai to go up and say hello. He only focuses on this game.
"Hey, Jeff, Old Bass hasn't appeared in Staples for a long time. Does this mean anything tonight's arrival?" Mike Blin said.
Van Gundy Jr. chuckled: "That means that the trade rumors are likely to be true and so exciting. This may be a game that will affect the overall situation of the league in the next few years."
Mike Brynn held the role in time: "Oh, can you tell me?"
Van Gundy Jr. explained: "If the rumors are true, Paul teaches Zhou Mubai to be a man in this game, then the Lakers accept the deal, and then the Lakers will have the most perfect starting lineup, plus a group of powerful bench bandits. In the next two years, the Lakers will be the most favorable players to compete for the championship!"
Under the exaggeration of the two gold medal commentators, an originally ordinary regular season has been given great significance, and the ratings have also soared. After all, this is really likely to affect the overall situation of the league in the future.
Fans have already believed this rumor, and some fans who like Zhou Mubai showed a look of pity on their faces. They don’t think Zhou Mubai is Paul’s opponent. No matter how strong Zhou Mubai is, he is just a rookie. Paul is one of the top point guards in the league this year. How can he compare?
This young man was lucky enough to be picked by the Lakers and was about to shine on the golden stage of Los Angeles, but now he is going to be taken away. Once Zhou Mubai is squeezed out of Los Angeles and sent to a remote place in New Orleans, no matter how powerful he is, it is difficult for him to become famous all over the world as he has been in Los Angeles.
He wanted to achieve something in New Orleans, but I don’t know how much more time it took than in Los Angeles, and he wouldn’t even be able to achieve something in Los Angeles in his entire life. If it weren’t for this, would St. Paul have always wanted to leave?
Fans who like Zhou Mubai calmed down, but fans who were eagerly looking forward to Paul joining Kobe started to cheer and clamor. Some fans with low quality even shouted to Zhou Mubai: "Yellow man, Los Angeles doesn't need you. Get out quickly and give St. Paul a spot!"
When it comes to discriminatory words, Zhou Mubai does not need to speak. The fans who spoke were driven out by the security guard immediately, but more fans shouted: "we saint paul!we saint paul! (We want Saint Paul!)"
The rhythmic shouts gradually formed a trend, and the shouts gradually became neat and uniform, and the entire stadium echoed: "we want saint paul!we want saint paul!”
Chris Paul listened to the expectant voice, and tears gradually appeared in his eyes. He kept waving to the fans, thanking them for their love for him.
Zhou Mubai stood quietly on the court, under the golden light, making him look solo, like an abandoned hero.
Fisher smiled happily: "You have today too!"
Yes, Paul is coming, and he has to give up, but it is better to give up to St. Paul than to be replaced by a rookie!
“no!”
A heart-wrenching girl's voice sounded amid the tide of shouting.
Zhou Mubai was stunned and looked at the origin of the voice. A girl who looked thin in the crowd burst into tears and shouted to the fans: "What did Zhou Mubai do wrong? Why do you treat him like this? He shouldn't be treated like this! You are all bad people!"
The girl roared in tears, but in the tide-like cry, her resistance had no meaning, and her voice was drowned in the tide.
Zhou Mubai suddenly laughed.
At this moment, he felt grateful to the little girl named Yu Lingyu and was also admiring her courage.
How courage does a little girl need to be able to shout and protest to tens of thousands of people?
Zhou Mubai felt the warmth in his heart.
He has many friends and comrades along the way, but he is also often lonely and has to move forward alone. But there are always some people who give him warmth and strength to make him realize that he is not lonely.
Zhou Mubai waved at the girl, then raised his thumbs up and smiled vigorously.
The girl smiled brilliantly with tears.
"I'll give you a gift tonight." Zhou Mubai said softly.
The game is about to begin, and the players from both sides are slapped and greeted each other. Paul takes the initiative to find Zhou Mubai.
"I am Chris Paul, Hello Zhou Mubai!" Paul looked serious.
Zhou Mubai smiled and shook hands with Paul.
"I have a reason to come to Los Angeles, so, I have to beat you and take your place, sorry!" Paul was serious, but there was no shame on his face.
Zhou Mubai smiled and said, "I have a reason to stay in Los Angeles, so I can't let you. Of course, you don't have to let me do your best!"
Paul was stunned: "You don't think you will lose to me?"
Zhou Mubai shook his head, Paul felt relieved, thinking that Zhou Mubai had already admitted defeat, but Zhou Mubai's words made him furious.
Chapter completed!
