ps. With 4,000 words, a big chapter is more enjoyable. Although it’s a little late, I still caught up.
Go to sleep
…………………………………………The following is the text…………………………………………
After Adrian scored 61 points, Phil Jackson took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to replace Adrian. In addition to allowing Adrian to accept the cheers of Madison Square Garden alone, another
One thing is that Adrian no longer needs to control the game at this moment. The New York Knicks, who are ahead by 20 points, have almost zero chance of successfully counterattacking in the remaining time. In this way, Adrian can continue to stay on the court.
It shouldn't be wasted energy.
After hugging and celebrating with teammates such as Kwame Brown, Turiaf, Luke Walton, etc., Adrian walked to the sidelines and hugged and celebrated with his teammates on the bench. Finally, he hugged and celebrated with his teammates in a suit.
Kobe came together and hugged each other. Although both of them had inexplicable thoughts in their hearts, on the surface, both of them were smiling.
There were no other emotions visible on Kobe's face, they were all happy that Adrian had achieved such impressive results. Adrian couldn't help but wonder in his heart, when he and O'Neal were so close, were they still feeling different in each other's hearts?
What kind of calculation are you planning?
After hugging Kobe, Adrian sat on the bench. Whether intentionally or not, the only empty seat on the bench was next to Phil Jackson.
Adrian's eyes are still on the court, and Adrian's replacement is Smash Parker, who has rarely had a chance to play this season.
Smash Parker has not had many playing opportunities this season. Adrian occupies the main position and averages more than 30 minutes of playing time per game. Needless to say, even with the little playing time Adrian has left,
He also has to compete with Jordan Farmar.
His strength is better than Farmar, but in terms of potential, he is not as good as Farmar. The Lakers, compared to Smash, still value cultivating Farmar, a rookie with potential that can be tapped.
This is also the most important reason why Smash Parker wants to transfer and leave the Lakers. Next year is Parker's contract year. No matter what kind of player he is, if he cannot have sufficient playing time, he will not be able to show his ability on the court.
, there is no way to get good data, and naturally there is no way to sign a lucrative contract. For the sake of his contract and the security of his future life, of course Smash Parker has to leave the Lakers to make a good deal.
Smash Parker, who had not played for a long time, was very excited as soon as he came on the court. Not only did he score consecutively on the offensive end, he also completed a steal from Marbury, who was distracted, and made a one-stop fast break dunk, which was quite impressive.
Stunning.
After watching for a while, Adrian lost interest. The Knicks players had obviously lost their confidence in the game. Their minds were no longer on the court. Even if the Lakers sent a full substitute lineup, this game would be
You won't lose either.
"Ed." Phil Jackson, who was sitting next to Adrian, suddenly said, "Want to chat?"
Adrian was stunned for a moment, looked at the unpredictable Phil Jackson, and then looked at Kobe who turned towards him from time to time, and a sense of enlightenment arose in his heart.
"I understand, coach." He sighed in his heart, and Adrian pretended to be indifferent and said: "No need to talk specifically, it's just this time, I will play how I will in the next games."
"real?"
"kindness."
Hearing Adrian's answer, Phil Jackson, who was completely silent on the surface, breathed a long sigh of relief deep in his heart. Adrian's answer was better than the best answer he expected. To be honest,
The person who least wants the Lakers to have internal strife now is none other than Phil Jackson himself. The struggle for power among the Lakers management is already very serious. If the team can no longer work together as one, it will lead to conflicts.
and conflicts, the pressure on Phil Jackson will rise sharply.
Now Adrian is willing to take a big step back and return to the previous situation. He is not thinking about fighting for the ball because of his crazy performance in this game. This is undoubtedly unimaginable for Phil Jackson.
Hungry is the best outcome. But...it is inevitable that I feel a little sorry for Adrian.
To have a young, talented rookie who should use data to establish his status in the world to suppress his own shots is a really big sacrifice. After all, data not only represents the evaluation of a player, but also affects
From players' contracts, endorsements, and voice rights to all aspects.
But Adrian's sacrifice is inevitable. To maintain this Lakers, this is an inevitable choice. Because compared to the collapsed OK combination, the backcourt combination of Adrian and Kobe, once a conflict breaks out,
Then the conflict will definitely be more intense than that of the OK combination, because both of them are outsiders.
O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are both inside and outside, and Phil Jackson can also mediate in the middle. But Adrian and Kobe Bryant are both outside players. No matter how they cooperate, once one side takes too many shots,
It will inevitably affect the other party, which is an irreconcilable contradiction.
As for Phil Jackson, there is no certainty that he can convince Kobe to sacrifice his right to shoot.
The game soon came to an end, and the Knicks had replaced all their main players and declared surrender. The game had entered garbage time, and the media waited until the whistle sounded before swarming to the Lakers' bench.
"Hello Mr. Adrian, I am a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. Congratulations on your 61 points today. Through the statistics just now, we learned that you broke the record of 50 points in a single game held by LeBron James.
At the same time, you also broke the record of the youngest player with 60 points held by Rockets player Tracy McGrady. What do you want to say? "A man of about thirty years old.
, a rather thin white man, like a gust of wind, jumped in front of all the reporters and asked such a question.
To be honest, this question was asked quite poorly and completely dryly. However, considering that he was also a reporter from the Los Angeles media, and it was not easy to travel across several states to interview the Lakers, Adrian chose to answer: "I
I feel very happy. Although it is only the youngest record, it is also a record, isn't it? It always feels good to be able to break the record."
"Mr. Adrian, Mr. Adrian. I am a reporter from the New York Daily News. Please answer my question."
"Okay, please ask."
When Adrian signaled him to ask a question, the reporter who rushed to answer immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Mr. Adrian, first of all, I want to congratulate you. Today you scored sixty points, breaking the record held by James."
The record of the youngest player to score 50 points and the record of the youngest player to score 60 points is held by Tracy McGrady. Then, what I want to ask is, Mr. Adrian, since you have such a powerful offensive power
, then why couldn’t I see you scoring like this in the Lakers’ previous games?”
Upon hearing this question, Phil Jackson, who was also being interviewed next to him, suddenly thought to himself: "It's broken!"
This question is full of traps. This kind of question is a demonstration of the level of those media reporters.
"Probably because I'm in better shape today, I always feel like I can put the basketball into the basket. I feel that way, so I do that too."
"So, Mr. Adrian, will you participate more and more actively in the offense in future games? I'm not talking about organizing the offense, but scoring goals."
"Well, I don't think it's necessary." Adrian smiled and said. At this time, he also vaguely felt that these reporters' questions seemed a little malicious: "Our number one scorer is Kobe, if not
Because if he wasn't here today, I wouldn't need to play like this. And this is not the way I like to play."
"Are you saying that because the Lakers have Kobe, you can't take action as you please?" At this time, another reporter obviously ignored Adrian's subsequent additions, greedily sucking up all the news value.
The reporter showed his white fangs: "Mr. Adrian, do you mean that Kobe suppressed you?"
"I..." Adrian was shocked. He understood the intentions of these reporters. Just when he was thinking about how to answer this question, Phil Jackson walked over directly, blocking Adrian and the media.
Between: "Okay, my boys are already very tired, let them go to the locker room and take a shower first."
At the same time, he used gestures from behind to signal Adrian to leave quickly. Adrian understood clearly and no longer paid attention to the reporters, but chose to turn around and leave.
"Coach Phil, Mr. Adrian hasn't answered my question yet." The reporter who asked Adrian a series of questions widened his eyes and grinned: "We have the right to know."
"Well, we can wait to answer other questions until the press conference. Gentlemen, this is not a good place to hold a press conference. Please wait until you ask your questions at the press conference." After Adrian entered the locker room, Fei said
Er-Jackson also followed in, walked to Adrian's side and frowned: "You shouldn't have ignored him just now. Now there may be some trouble tomorrow."
"No?" Adrian raised his eyebrows. He felt that Phil Jackson was overreacting: "I didn't say anything just now."
"They don't need you to say anything, they just need to ask questions and you answer them. They will edit out what they want from what you say." Phil said in an atmospheric tone: "That's what those guys are like.
"
"This is unlikely." Adrian said hesitantly: "To be honest, Mr. Jackson, I don't really believe it."
"Of course it wouldn't be like this if they were reporters from other media. But those guys who just asked you questions are all entertainment reporters from Fox Sports. As for the last one..." Phil Jackson frowned and said:
"He's a reporter for The Sun."
The Sun?
Adrian raised his eyebrows and understood immediately.
Rupert Murdoch became an American citizen. In 2002, his News Corporation also copied the model of News Corporation's best-selling print media in the UK, "The Sun", to the United States, and achieved good results.
.Although "The Sun" claims to be a regular newspaper, in fact its style has always been that of a tabloid, even more unlimited than a tabloid. It is called the number one entertainment gossip weekly in the UK. The same is true in the United States.
Distorting facts, distorting the truth, and 'creating' news is a piece of cake for The Sun. As long as it can stimulate newspaper sales, there is nothing they can't do.
Phil Jackson spoke so seriously that Adrian couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he quickly calmed down. If the media was determined to hype up this matter, then even God would not be able to stop them.
.In the current situation, it seems that we can only resort to tactics.
In turn, he comforted Phil Jackson and said: "Don't worry, Coach Jackson, you should go to the press conference. As for "The Sun"."
Adrian smiled: "I think most people buy a copy of The Sun just for their third page."
When Adrian said this, even Phil Jackson couldn't help but smile. The girls on the third page of "The Sun" are extremely famous both in their native UK and in the United States. Some of them have
It's so big that even the playboy can't compare to it.
After the game, the Lakers gave the players a day off and flew to Boston to challenge the Boston Celtics at the TD North Shore Garden Arena tomorrow night.
Originally, Adrian had made an appointment with Vujacic to go out to celebrate together after the game. But what happened in the post-match interview, although this incident may not really cause anything, Phil Jackson still expressed his gratitude to Adrien.
An issued a ban, and he could only stay in the hotel to masturbate by himself tonight.
This made Adrian suffer ridicule in front of Turiaf and others. Obviously, tonight, they will definitely be in a place in New York that is not too famous, but has excellent quality and good concealment, and can block
When most of the media were playing in high-end nightclubs, Adrian, who scored 61 points in a single game and broke a lot of records with his youth, could only be alone in a hotel suite.
This makes them feel the joy of their victory.
"Don't worry Adrian, although you can't go tonight, we will include your share." Before quietly leaving the hotel together, they put on a sky blue casual suit and put on a gold watch.
Rings, gold necklaces and a series of gold jewelry that black people love, and carefully took care of the hairstyle that he usually doesn't pay much attention to. After completing all this, he completely transformed into the style of a wealthy man. Turiaf directed Ah
Derian winked and said: "I'll call you one tonight, um, let's call three. Which one do you like? Small and exquisite, tall and plump, blond or brunette? Or do you like it?
Latin girl? It doesn’t matter, just put forward any conditions.”
"Go away!" Faced with the repeated provocations of the windy Turiaf, Adrian simply raised his right hand, clenched his fist, protruded his middle finger, and used an internationally friendly friendly expression.
gestures to express one's dissatisfaction.
"Oh, it's up to you." Turiaf smiled and waved his hand to Adrian: "But I'm going to enjoy it, the wine and the beautiful girl..."
"Go to hell!"
"Bang!"
Before the pillow thrown by Adrian hit Turiaf, he closed the door in time, leaving Adrian alone in the room.
