Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty-Fifth: Transaction Sees Rumors Again
"Pau Gasol is a great player. He is the best fit for the Lakers. I believe he can burst out with unprecedented energy in the Lakers." Mitch Kupchak faced reporters, his face He was all smiles. After being pressed hard by Kobe all summer, he could finally relax. Now Kobe had no answer.
"I love the Lakers, this is a team with a great history. It's great to be here, I couldn't even believe it when my agent called me and told me. We have a lot of good players, Kobe is absolutely He is a top five player in the league. Adrian is a great rookie who is full of energy. We also have Bynum and Fisher. Bynum is growing rapidly and Fisher is a great player. Leader. We will attack the championship in the new season." Pau Gasol showed reporters his new jersey, Lakers No. 16, with a bright smile on his face.
"Paul said very well, we should regard the championship as the only goal." Kobe also smiled: "Paul is definitely one of the top five power forwards in the league. His arrival has fully formed Coach Phil's triangle offense. As Paul said, the Lakers should regard the championship as their only goal this season. Praise Mitch, he is simply the best general manager in the league. When he told me that he was going to bring Paul, I couldn't believe it. He actually did it."
Well, although Kobe Bryant cursed Mitch Kupchak as the worst general manager in the league in front of the media half a month ago, this does not prevent him from praising Mitch Kupchak as the best general manager in the league now.
The media went to interview another important party, Adrian, to ask him about his views on the transaction and his thoughts. They tried to find out, but the result of their search surprised them a few weeks ago. Adrian has left Los Angeles for Chicago and moved into Jordan's mansion in the suburbs of Chicago.
They tried to interview Jordan or enter Jordan's home to interview Adrian. However, they were stopped by the bodyguards around the mansion, and Jordan himself remained silent on the matter. This immediately triggered speculation among Lenovo's media friends that Adrian What does it mean to suddenly move into Jordan's mansion?
Of course, they will not doubt that Adrian is Jordan's illegitimate son. On the one hand, the difference in race and skin color is on the one hand, and on the other hand, Adrian's family environment is too clear, and anyone can easily find out through investigation.
Adrian suddenly met Jordan and stayed in Jordan's manor. This aroused the nerves of the media. For a while, the rumors of Adrian's possible transfer disappeared after the end of last season. There was a lot of noise again before the season even started.
Regarding the arrival of the media, Jordan did not tell Adrian. He only learned afterward that Jordan refused the media's interview request. As for the phone call, he did not receive it because when he entered Jordan's manor, his mobile phone had already been Jordan was confiscated. For more than half a month, he had lived a life of asceticism separated from the world. Although Adrian could guess what Mr. Qiao had in mind at that time, he really couldn't get angry. First of all, he was on Jordan's territory. He lived in his home for half a month. Secondly, Adrian didn't think there was any need to explain this matter. He only showed up at the Lakers training camp in the new season. All problems will be solved naturally.
Moreover, Michael's training for him was indeed effective, and Adrian could feel the improvement in his strength. As far as Adrian's self-perception was concerned, if he had another game with the Spurs, he was still not sure he could win, but he
It can make it more difficult for the Spurs to defend themselves and prevent them from scoring. This makes Adrian completely immersed in his training, so what he never expected was that when he left Jordan's mansion, in
The driver escorted Adrian to the airport and returned to Los Angeles. Because Jordan's driver sent Adrian directly to the boarding area, no reporter knew that he had returned to Los Angeles.
So at this time, he still didn't realize the ripples caused by his disappearance for half a month. It wasn't until two days later, when he reported to the training camp, that he saw the media swarming around him as soon as they saw his car.
Only then did I vaguely notice something was wrong.
However, at this time, Adrian still didn't realize how serious the problem was, so when he got out of the car, trying to persuade the swarming interviewers to make way for him, he was almost overwhelmed by the surging microphones and questions.
submerged.
"Mr. Adrian, did you reach any secret agreement with Mr. Jordan?"
"Mr. Adrian, are you sure you want to leave the Lakers?"
"Mr. Adrian, may I ask where your next stop is, bobcat or bull?"
"Adrian, when will you transfer and leave? Is it this season or next season?"
The media frenzy and questions made Adrian stunned for a moment before he realized. Why are rumors about my transfer spreading again, and spreading so widely? Is it possible that the Lakers management did not refute the rumors?
Generally speaking, when such rumors arise, the club first stands up to refute the rumors, stating that it has no plans to trade players, and then the players stand up and state that they have no intention of transferring. However, looking at the attitude of the media, it seems that there is no attempt to refute the rumors at all.
.
"Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about. I have no intention of transferring, and the team did not tell me that I will be traded. These are all rumors."
"But Adrian, you moved into Mr. Jordan's house, didn't you?"
"Yes, but that's because I asked Mr. Jordan to train me this summer." Adrian nodded: "I trained with him for half a month, and he taught me a lot."
"But we can't contact you at all."
"That's because Mr. Jordan confiscated my mobile phone and told me this was a closed training camp."
"But the Lakers officials did not give any explanation for this."
"That's not my problem. I don't know what they think, but at least I have no intention of leaving the Lakers. They didn't tell me any news either..."
Adrian added silently in his mind: "At least not yet."
"Sorry, please give way. My report is going to be late. You don't want me to be late on the first day back to the training camp. Otherwise, I will be penalized by Mr. Phil for running laps. Please give way, thank you, please
Give way." After finally finding a way out from the media, Adrian went straight to Staples. (To be continued...)
