Suspension is indeed a very severe punishment for a player, especially a rookie player.
In the final analysis, all the value of a player comes from his performance on the court. If you are unable to play for a long time, in this era of rapid turnover, you will soon be forgotten. Even, if you are labeled as someone
Label, your playing career will be difficult.
Among them, the most famous negative example is Ron Artest and Jermaine O'Neal of the Indiana Pacers. A quarrel and a long-term suspension ruined a powerful team that aspired to the championship.
They also destroyed themselves.
Another well-known example is Chris Anderson, the Hornets' hard-working big man, who was kicked out of the league by league commissioner David Stern because of drug abuse.
Some of Adrian's former friends also called to comfort him.
But to be honest, Adrian was not in a bad mood. Although the lip reader actually translated what he said to Kobe, which surprised Adrian and became the first reason why he was suspended for seven games.
It was a crime, but Adrian would not regret it, and he was not worried that his position as the main force, which had begun to stabilize, would be shaken because of Kinsel.
The Lakers do not have a suitable starter at the main point guard position. Parker actually has good abilities, but coming from a street basketball background, he always seems to be unable to position himself correctly. The abilities of corner players are based on the playing style of core players.
. He probably thought that in the NBA he was also the omnipotent 'Reaper' Parker on the street court, and this was his contract year. After playing, he wanted more shooting opportunities... This is undoubtedly the same as Phil Jackson.
The conflict with the tactical arrangement also conflicts with the overall situation of the Lakers. With Kobe already in the high-post offense, Parker has more opportunities to take shots. This is simply... seeking death.
Of course, Adrian did not relax his training. In addition to the training plan that he had already set, during this suspension, he increased the training of low-post back attacks and low-post footwork training. Although psychologically, Adrian
Derian doesn't like the low post position. That narrow range prevents him from enjoying the feeling of controlling the lifeblood of the entire court.
But Phil Jackson is obviously more optimistic about Adrian's performance in the low post. This Lakers really need a strong low post attacker. Although Lamar Odom has a certain low post attack ability, he is purely technical.
Once he encounters a tough low-post defender with a strong body, he will stop immediately. He is too unstable.
Adrian is not a fool. He understands his current position as a qualified starting point guard, or a very potential new star. This position is not enough for him to discuss tactics and arrangements with the head coach.
He had better complete any task willingly.
When the Lakers play away games, Adrian will still go to Staples for training on time every day. Of course, hand-to-hand combat with Lindsay is also an essential course.
In addition, the Lakers also want to take this opportunity to sign a new contract with Adrian. Adrian's contract is only for one year. Now that Adrian has shown extraordinary potential and immediate combat effectiveness, this
No matter how you look at it, a one-year contract seems too uneasy.
However, Adrian is not in a hurry to sign a new contract at this time, because he understands that signing a new contract at this time is not the best time for him. Therefore, Adrian declined the Lakers' request.
, just said that he doesn’t have an agent yet and will wait until he finds one.
At the same time, this incident also reminded Adrian that no matter what, he must find a suitable agent for himself. Although he can negotiate some contracts by himself, such as the contract with the Lakers, those complex
The legal provisions cannot stop Adrian, but it is impossible for him to settle every contract in the future by himself.
The player's main focus should still be on the court, rather than diving headfirst into endless legal provisions.
"How about finding a beautiful agent, like in those novels?" Adrian thought for a moment, then shook his head. If he really found a beautiful agent, he would be really kidding with his own money.
.As an agent, no matter in any place in the world or in any industry, ability is naturally very important, but qualifications and connections are the most important. What kind of connections can a girl have?
In fact, at this stage in the NBA, there are so many agents who want to sign Adrian. Without an agent, Adrian is like a piece of tender and delicious fat exposed to the air. Everyone wants to swallow it in one bite.
, but if you want to swallow it, you have to ask yourself if you are willing to eat it.
If he wanted to, he could find a broker or an economic company in just a few days, but it was hard to say whether it would be reassuring.
Players must be very cautious when choosing an agent. If they accidentally encounter a cheating agent, it will be a disadvantage in terms of business development. If the players themselves are also implicated by the agent, it will be very unlucky.
Due to the suspension of the head coach and two main players, the Lakers suffered losses in the next two games, losing to the Nets 93:99 and losing to the Bucks 105:109 at home. They had to accept the end of the month in embarrassment.
After two consecutive losses, the first month of competition ended with a record of 11 wins, 5 losses and a 68% winning rate.
Of course, there is some good news. On November 30th at the Staples Center Arena, the Clippers defeated the Grizzlies 105:90. The NBA November game officially came to an end. Time bought 12
On the evening of December 2nd, the NBA office announced a series of best players of the month.
The Eastern and Western Coaches of the Month were won by Hill and Jerry Sloan respectively. Although Sloan was suspended in the final stage, the Jazz led by Sloan in November currently achieved 13 wins and 4 losses (win rate 76.5%).
record, including nine wins in 11 meetings with teams in the Western Conference. The Jazz won 12 of their first 13 games this season, putting them three games ahead of second place.
Leading the Northwest Division. So far, the Jazz have a record of 8 wins and 1 loss at home, which is also the best home record in the league. Sloan only needs three wins to become the fifth 1,000-win coach in NBA history.
.
The Magic, led by Hill, also led the team to a record of 12 wins and 4 losses (75% winning rate) in November, which was the team's best start since the 1998-99 season, including in the last 10 games.
They have won 9 games in 2 games. They rank first in the Southeast Division with a 4.5-game advantage, which is also the largest gap among the six major divisions in the league.
The Eastern and Western Players of the Month were won by the two major centers, Yao Ming and Howard respectively. This season is the season when Howard begins to break out. His shooting percentage is as high as 57.6%, and he averages 17.1 points and 13.6 rebounds per game, ranking first in the new season.
Achieved eleven double-doubles in the month, seven of which were cool in a row, including three consecutive large double-doubles of 20+20.
Yao Ming was no less impressive. He contributed 20 points or more in 11 consecutive games in the new season. He averaged 25.7 points and 10.1 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 54.4%. In the 9 games in which he was the team's scoring leader, the Rockets won 8
1 loss record.
It is worth mentioning that Adrian was nominated for the Western Conference Player of the Month together with Kobe Bryant despite being suspended. Although he was not elected in the end, he averaged 16.7 points, 9.7 assists per game, a near-double-double performance, and a whopping 55
% field goal percentage is staggering.
As for the Western Conference Rookie of the Month, even though he was still suspended, Adrian still accepted it and shared the Eastern and Western Conference Rookie of the Month with the Bobcats' Morrison. This award naturally increased Adrian's popularity again.
, winning the Rookie of the Month as a non-draft player, which is also unprecedented in the NBA, naturally adds to Adrian's legendary color, and also makes the Lakers management want to quickly sign Adrian.
A brand new contract to ensure that they can get the best rookie without spending any draft picks!
Even if Adrian wanted to delay it, he probably wouldn't be able to delay it for long.
