() After being furious, Phil Jackson sat down slumped. His hands were deeply inserted into his silver hair, and he sat like this without saying a word for a while. When he raised his head again, Adrian
You can clearly see that Phil Jackson's face showed a strong look of exhaustion. At this time, you can easily find that the guy in front of you is already an old guy in his sixties.
"I can't believe all this is true, Ed." After a long silence, Phil Jackson still couldn't accept that he was about to be cleared by the Lakers, even though all the information after analysis pointed to
This final result, but Phil Jackson is still unwilling to accept it just like this!
He will never be willing to give up until he gets the exact answer!
"I'm sorry Ed, I've delayed you for so long today. You go home first, and don't tell the media what you talked about with me today." Phil Jackson stood up and looked at the solidified coffee on his body.
Zye: "I also want to go home and change into another set of clothes."
Adrian took the elevator directly down to the underground parking lot and drove away. The same was true for Phil Jackson. Therefore, he was not discovered by the media. Otherwise, the media would have seen the coffee stains on Phil Jackson's body, plus a
With a lonely and tired expression on his face, there may be rumors that Adrian fell out with the head coach, spilled the coffee, Phil Jackson got soaked all over, etc. These seemingly serious reports are actually without any real evidence.
In the next few days, everything seemed to be normal, except that Phil Jackson showed up less on the training ground, and when he did, he was somewhat absent-minded. Adrian knew that after talking to Phil Jackson, he would definitely
There is little chance of revenge if he does something, but he will find a way to confirm the news. Unlike Adrian, he doesn't know everything about the future. Although Phil Jackson is famously smart, he doesn't know how to deal with such big things.
You may only act based on your own guesses.
However, no matter what Phil Jackson thinks, Adrian still continues his own way of playing and performing on the court.
On October 21st, the Lakers faced the challenge of the Bobcats at home. This freshman team only joined the NBA in 2004 and has only three years of career history. The Bobcats made almost no adjustments this summer and only renewed their contract to keep the contract.
The team's No. 1 superstar Gerald Wallace, the only Charlotte Bobcats player with a bit of a star appearance. And Okafor, the second overall pick in 2004, even outperformed the top pick in the draft in 2004.
Dwight Howard snatched the Rookie of the Year award from Dwight Howard.
But now three years have passed, and Dwight Howard has improved dramatically, becoming the new representative of American centers after the Sharks, a new generation of inside beasts in the league. Okafor's performance is as always. In the past three years, whether in terms of statistics or ability, there has been no improvement.
What a significant improvement. Just like the Bobcats' record, although it is not disappointing, it really doesn't give anyone any sense of surprise.
As in the previous two games, the Lakers suppressed the Bobcats throughout the game. Adrian was still as in the previous two games, following the opponent's outside offensive arrow figure, Gerald Wallace, throughout the game.
As one of the many underestimated stars in the league, Gerald Wallace is indeed quite capable, but when faced with Adrian's defense, he inevitably fell into a disadvantageous situation.
Without him, Adrian is very comfortable guarding players like him. He has faced off against players such as Paul Pierce, Carmelo Anthony, and LeBron James several times, all of whom are top-notch in terms of speed and strength.
The small forward selection, against Gerald Wallace, a guy who is slightly worse in all aspects and obviously not calm enough, although Adrian dare not boast that he can hold Gerald Wallace under his control
in the pocket, but to be honest, Wallace's offensive power is really difficult to bring a sense of threat to Adrian.
110:92. The Lakers defeated the Bobcats at home calmly. The Bobcats failed to cause any decent trouble to the Lakers from beginning to end. In terms of statistics, Kobe Bryant was elected as the scoring champion in this game with 36 points, although his shooting percentage was slightly lower.
There was a bit of a problem, but Kobe's personal breakthrough under Gasol's screen actually caused a lot of fouls and gave him a lot of free throw opportunities.
Okafor grabbed 13 rebounds and became the game's rebound leader. The assist leader was Pau Gasol, with 8 assists, ranking the highest in the game. Adrian scored 13 points, 10
The data of 1 rebound and 2 blocks were a bit shabby, but it was still a double-double. Another point is that, like the previous two games, Adrian still had no assists. After receiving the ball in the low post, Adrian's offensive options
There is only one direction towards the basket.
The Lakers then continued their preseason journey. In the next three preseason games, the Lakers defeated the Clippers and Kings respectively, and only suffered a small defeat against the Jazz. In fact, the Lakers still had the advantage in that game.
, it’s just that the basket kept fighting against the Lakers. The Lakers’ shooting percentage in the game was less than 45%, and the same was true for Kobe. Although he scored a team-high 29 points and shot 29 times in the game, he only scored 29 points.
He hit twelve of them, with a shooting percentage of over 40%. He made zero of eight three-pointers and felt as bad as if he had just taken them out of the refrigerator.
Adrian's performance was as stable as ever, averaging 17.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.8 blocks per game. As for assists, it was zero!
"Ed..."
Just after the last preseason game at home against the Kings, Adrian had just taken a shower from the locker room and was about to go home as usual when he saw Phil again standing in the corridor, seemingly waiting for him.
-Jackson.
"What's wrong?" Adrian looked at Phil with some surprise. His expression was obviously wrong. There was anger, resentment, hatred, and more, but it was helpless loss.
"What's wrong?" Phil Jackson laughed bitterly at himself, and said with great disappointment: "They are really going to drive me away! I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, that he could do this!"
Adrian opened his mouth. He wanted to ask Phil Jackson what he had discovered, but after a pause, he felt that there was no need to ask.
The ending is already decided, why should we care about the process?
On this point, both he and Phil Jackson are the same. The leader of the Lakers is Jerry Buss. Although he is about to enter the coffin, if he wants to deal with someone, it is still easy.
"Would you like to sit at my house?" Adrian tilted his head and suggested: "I have authentic Bordeaux rubies at home. I'll just repay you with your coffee and suit."
