So I am the god of basketball?

The duel between Kobe and Jones attracted the attention of other Lakers players.

Everyone's eyes showed interest.

After all, Kobe is a rookie that the Lakers paid for two main-level players, and he is also the highest-ranked outside high school student. Everyone wants to know what is different about this high school student.

The result is……

Kobe's offensive prowess surprised them.

Jones is 1 meters tall, which is a standard height for the second position. At the same time, his wingspan and athletic ability are at the upper-middle level for the same position. But most of the time he couldn't defend against Kobe's offense.

Although Kobe is only 18 years old, his combination of body and ball has already been done very well.

All kinds of breakthroughs are very sharp.

"This little guy's physical fitness is really good!" Barkley couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Kobe's various pull-ups.

Meng Lang also nodded.

To be honest, the so-called "Kobe's low talent" has really been demonized. His "low talent" is only compared to the small group of people with the most talented players in the NBA, but if it is considered in the entire NBA, then Definitely one of the top ones.

Especially this kind of large pull rod can be done so easily and freely, and explosive power and staying in the air are all indispensable.

The only flaw may be that his hands are a bit small.

So when he released the ball at the end, it wasn't as elegant as Tracy McGrady and the others.

But the impact is negligible.

The player who really became a "flaw" because of his "small hands" was Kwame Brown in the future. A player at the center level, but with small hands at the level of an outside player. Even if the psychological quality is passed, I am afraid that I cannot escape the ending of "butter hands".

However, in this 21-point "Bullfighting", Jones finally had the last laugh, 21-16.

Jones just couldn't guard most of Kobe's shots, and Kobe couldn't guard most of Jones's shots.

For this result, Jones did not have any joy.

His original intention was to avenge his previous trial with Kobe Bryant in this bullfight. In that bullfight, the two of them almost exploded with each other. But at that time, Jones had been resting for more than a month, and was not in the best personal condition. He met Kobe who had been training, and he didn't take him seriously at first, so he almost suffered a big loss.

Okay, I've already suffered a big loss.

An NBA-level player ended up fighting a deadlock with a rookie who had just graduated from high school.

Who cares, this is not a blow?

Therefore, starting from mid-August, Jones entered into the state adjustment in advance.

I originally thought that as soon as I entered the training camp, I would give Kobe the shock that only a "real NBA player" can have. In the end, it still took a lot of effort to deal with this guy.

This high school student is progressing so fast!

How could he be happy?

Kobe, on the other hand, suffered a fatal blow. From his perspective, he could still be tied with Jones in May, but now he is at a clear disadvantage. So what has he been doing in the past few months?

fxxk!

Kobe felt very sad, picked up the ball without saying a word, and walked toward the side court.

"This guy is not easy to mess with!"

“Do today’s high school students have such ability?”

……

The rest of the Lakers looked at each other. They didn't know about Kobe's confrontation with Jones during the previous workout, so now they see that Kobe, a high school student, can keep up with Eddie, who averaged 12.8 points per game last season and shot 49.2% from the field. Jones was fighting like this, their eyes were full of surprise.

Especially the rookie Fisher, who joined the Lakers at the same time as Kobe, was staring blankly at Kobe's back.

I have mixed feelings in my heart.

He is a senior graduate, but compared to Kobe Bryant, his immediate combat ability may be completely eliminated in a matter of seconds. This shattered his original fantasy into pieces.

Originally, he thought that his immediate combat ability would be better than that of Kobe, a high school student, and he should be able to get more playing time in his rookie season, but now Kobe's powerful destructive power makes him very afraid.

No, I can't just be compared.

A senior like him, if he has not entered the team's rotation in the first season of his career, is destined to become cannon fodder and a passer-by in the NBA.

This is the ruthless NBA world that a "older age equals combat ability" needs to face.

Management won't have much patience with players like this.

Next, the Lakers entered the official training camp time. Like them, the other 28 teams in the league also started training camps.

The Bulls even held a media open day on the first day.

It can be seen that most people on the Bulls are having a good time this summer, and many people are even a little out of shape, but the entire team atmosphere is very relaxed. Apparently they haven't recovered from their happy summer.

Jordan did not show dissatisfaction because of this. Facing the media cameras, he said: "We just played a perfect season. We won 70 wins. We won the championship. Our state is very correct. We are a team." As a team that has tasted the championship, I believe that we will do the right thing at the right time and this will not affect our journey to defend the title!”

"Charles went to Los Angeles, and Jerry signed the Human Power Essence before the start of the closed training camp. It is generally believed that this team will pose a huge threat to the Bulls. What do you think of the intensity of the Los Angeles Lakers in the new season? ?Are they considered a championship-level team?"

Jordan: "Of course they are a very good team, whether it is small, um...dream, or Charles, they have that ability, but I believe that as long as the Bulls are on the right path, then we must be the best team." Strong!"

……

Confident and domineering, all reporters interviewing Jordan had the same idea:

The "Basketball God" is back!

But what they didn't know was that when the interview ended and the reporters in the locker room were kicked out by the staff, Jordan changed his appearance in an instant: "Damn Luke, look at how you look now, I doubt you will. While running a thousand meters, I fainted because I was out of breath!”

"And Dennis, you actually played in the nightclub until 4 a.m. last night. Do you want to die on a woman's belly? You should know the price you will pay for this!"

"Scotty, your problem is the most serious. I don't care what conflicts you are having with the management. You are jealous of my 3000 million and you just rely on your performance on the court to conquer that damn fat man. Look at how miserable you are now. She looks like a married woman, aren’t you afraid that Larsa will run away with some bastard’s son?”

"Everyone, listen to me. The new season has begun. Forget all about the glorious last season. I want to see the beads of sweat on your foreheads! This is our victory in the new season. The best way to win the championship!”

……

The sound of swearing continued from the locker room to the training ground.

Ok……

He was far from as calm as he was when being interviewed by reporters.

Meng Langga Barkley, he knows exactly what this means.

The Bulls will face a real challenge this season.

But not every time they can encounter the Magic team who suddenly suffered a wide range of injuries like last season. And he doesn't want the Lakers to have injuries. Now there are similar voices coming out, saying that the reason why the Bulls were able to win the championship last season was mainly due to the Magic's injuries. How could the Magic win the championship if they didn't have injuries?

Jordan didn't want to hear such a voice again. He wanted to defeat this Lakers team openly and win the championship in the new season.

So, the damn little bitch and Charles, hold on to me, don’t get injured again!

The Orlando Magic also held a press conference a day later.

However, compared with the liveliness of previous years, this year's Orlando Arena was a bit more depressed, with less than one reporter present to cover the event. And most of them came for Hardaway.

Mourning has a certain reputation, but he has no honors. In the current league, he cannot attract more reporters.

"Penny" looked serious when facing the media: "I believe I will be traded before the start of the new season. I don't want to play any more games for this team. I am disappointed with how this city treats Dream." , I am his brother, and I can’t stand everything this city does to Dream!”

His remarks made the media in Orlando very unhappy, but they did not dare to explode. Because if Hardaway leaves, this city will only have one outsider, Mourning. They really couldn't imagine what a miserable scene it would be. Reality has taught the Orlando media to bow their heads.

Now, this proud head can also be lowered.

It just depends on what the situation is.

They probably didn't expect that Meng Lang would give such a tough response at the time. The resulting influence directly destroyed the city.

Orlando gradually became less impressive.

In Miami in the south, a cheerful "big shark" was driving his domineering Hummer towards the American Airlines Arena. He was humming happily on the way. Coming to Miami, there are more things to enjoy. This summer, Shaquille O'Neal was having so much fun that he became bigger than ever.

The physical and mental pleasure is reflected in the body, isn't it just "flesh and flesh"!

Otherwise, why would I "gain three pounds during the holidays"!

Life was so comfortable that Shaquille O'Neal was still a little reluctant to leave when the new season was about to start. He originally felt that the vacation was not long enough. After coming to Miami, this feeling became even stronger.

Approaching American Airlines Arena, he saw a huge poster of himself.

In this city, he is undoubtedly the "number one"!

This made him suddenly full of fighting spirit.

He has been waiting for an opportunity to prove that he can be the number one player on the team. In the past, Meng Lang suppressed him, and Chuck Daly also suppressed him. Now that he has come to Miami, his city, he can finally prove himself. Got it!

Pat Riley still likes him very much. This can be seen from the fact that this little old man has been accompanying him when he first arrived, and he was as attentive as a butler.

Miami……

This is my Shaq’s home!

This feeling is like a "shark" swimming back into the sea.

Look, the little old man came to the door to pick him up in person.

"Hey, man, you don't have to be so polite, I..." Shaquille O'Neal was a little embarrassed.

But Pat Riley refused to hug him, looked at him with an indifferent attitude he had never seen before, and pointed to the machine next to him: "Come on, man, let's see your body fat percentage." Well, if it exceeds 16%, then sorry, you may not be able to enter this arena until you reduce your body fat rate to 16%!"

"Huh?" Shaquille O'Neal thought he heard wrong, and thought Riley was joking. He smiled and was about to say something witty, but looking at Pat Riley's serious expression, he couldn't even smile. Not coming out.

Every action of the "divine fortune teller" reveals this feeling:

If you don’t believe it, you can try it!

"Big Shark" was stunned for a moment, his body couldn't help but trembled, and he shivered hard.

Miami was so passionate, but facing Riley at this moment, he felt like he was in an ice cellar.

no……

Does "Xiao Tiantian" become "Mrs. Niu"?

"Don't worry Pat, I will definitely get back into shape before the new season starts!" Shaq's tone was a little more cautious.

Pat Riley's tone became even colder: "It better be this way, Shaq!"

In just an instant, the identities of the two people were interchanged.

Looking back to Los Angeles, the Lakers training camp is in full swing.

As promised on the first day of camp, Harris held a team training match on the third day of training camp.

A team of Meng Lang, Divac, and Wilkins faced off against Barkley, Kobe, and Eddie Jones. In the end, Meng Lang's first team took the lead in scoring 24 points and won.

Meng Lang and Barkley are points in their respective teams that the other party cannot solve.

However, when Barkley enters the basket, Divac's top defense can effectively limit his "post-up play", but their first team also has Kobe and Eddie Jones on the outside, causing the entire outside to be crowded, and , the distribution of ball rights is extremely unreasonable. Kobe showed the potential of the future "Iron King". He failed to score in various ways, but still forced the ball to play.

Looking at his stunned appearance, Meng Lang suddenly understood why Harris put him on the bench and stopped him from starting.

He's been so "arrogant" in his rookie season, attacking on his own with the ball. If he doesn't hold him down for a while and temper his temper, it will be a disaster.

But Harris probably didn't expect that the guy he met was the most paranoid person in NBA history, and he would never compromise on the things he was sure about.

"Tempering" was of no use to him.

Of course, this kind of suppression must have inspired Kobe.

His progress should have a lot to do with Harris' constant suppression of him.

At the same time, it also established his concept:

Any position on the court must be won by yourself!

This is fucked up.

By the way, Meng Lang complained about Eddie Jones.

Damn, for a rookie to seize the ball like this, no wonder Kobe doesn't take him seriously anymore. It looks like it's made of dough, so it's easy to bully.

Why don't you just give him a big mouth and teach him the rules of being a newcomer!

Meng Lang has reason to think:

Kobe's future arrogance was caused by the Lakers.

Of course, the Lakers mentioned here are the original group.

It's different now.

Barkley, Wilkins, no one is easy to mess with. It can definitely cure Kobe's bad habit of being ignored.

Two days ago, Wilkins gave Kobe a "boost".

This "flat-headed guy" had just finished playing against Eddie Jones, and he approached Wilkins for a one-on-one challenge: "I heard that you once scored 50 points on Michael's head? Do you dare to play against a high school student? "

Wilkins didn't even look at him seriously: "You, a high school student, don't want to challenge me, and I have no reason to give you, a high school student, a special case!"

One sentence made Kobe lose his temper.

Just kidding, he was on an equal footing with Jordan back then. In terms of aura, nothing could compare to Kobe, a young boy.

This is the first "closed door" that Kobe has received.

Then Barkley took the initiative to find him.

"Boy, aren't you looking for someone to challenge? How about we play a game?"

Kobe didn't refuse, and was directly called a "Jiaozuo native."

Buckley's "pig-hung" move made him lose his temper.

In the end, it was Barkley's release that gave him an opportunity to attack. But after being bucked by Barkley so many times, Kobe's calves were a little weak. During the layup process, the ball flew directly from his hands.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Some people's laughter is enough to ridicule.

Barkley is such a person.

At that moment, Kobe wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

However, what surprised Wilkins and Barkley was that Kobe did not retreat because of this. Instead, he became more proactive and wanted to challenge them.

Meng Lang had a vague hunch that Kobe in this time and space seemed to have a stronger sense of self than the original him!

You can't press it too hard, can you?

Can……

What can we do?

With Kobe's "God's boss, my second brother" look, no one can help but beat him up, right?

Is it bad for children to grow old if they are stubborn?

A few more blows will help you get over it!

"Dream, drink water!"

At the end of the training match, Derek Fisher immediately approached Meng Lang and handed him the water in his hand.

Meng Lang took it and when he was about to twist it, he found that the cap of the bottle had already been unscrewed a little. He only needed a little more force to open it.

Hey!

It is said that Fisher was licked by the "Old Zen Master", which led to his career of more than ten years. Meng Lang didn't believe it at first, but now... he has to believe it even if he doesn't believe it!

Who can resist this "licking" skill?

Just look at Harris, who now smiles with satisfaction when he sees Fisher.

It was also at this time that Meng Lang suddenly remembered that the original Fisher played 80 games in his rookie season, which was more games than Kobe, the 13th overall pick in the first round.

Not only did he lick the "Zen Master" clearly, but the "Silver Fox" also exposed his belly when he met him.

"Man, water!" Fisher handed the last bottle of water to Kobe.

"Huh? Well, thank you, Derek!"

Kobe seemed to be suddenly awakened. He was stunned for a moment before taking the water from Fisher's hand.

This was his first time playing with Meng Lang on the court.

During the game, whenever he had a chance, he would try to play against Meng Lang.

But he found that he couldn't keep up with Meng Lang's movements at all, whether it was his own shots, passes, or cooperation with his teammates... Standing opposite this guy, Kobe felt as if he had activated a delay.

This feeling of not being an opponent at all is terrible.

He didn't know why the gap between him and Meng Lang was so big!

If he asked Meng Lang this question, Meng Lang would give him a very simple answer:

Rhythm.

Although Kobe can show his personal offensive ability against Jones.

But in terms of personal scoring, he has reached the upper-middle level of the NBA, and is still far behind in other aspects. After all, he has never played in the NCAA. Therefore, in higher-level leagues, he lacks experience and has no idea what he should do on the court.

This is also the reason why many rookies feel like "sleepwalking" when they come on the court.

Meng Lang didn't put any effort into beating him. He just sped up the rhythm, which was enough to make him dizzy.

The areas where Kobe needs improvement most are these...

Maybe for the first time, Kobe felt the huge gap between himself and Meng Lang so obviously, which made him a little frustrated.

Fisher looked at his appearance, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Man, you are already strong. You are only 18 years old, and you can already face Eddie and complete so many goals. I am like you." When I was growing up, no school even wanted me in the NBA, let alone the NBA. You were much better than me. In my opinion, you were no worse than Eddie. You just needed playing time. I believed in you. You will get better and better as you fight. You are so much younger than Dream, what are you afraid of? They will definitely not be your opponents in the future!"

"No, not in the future, I believe they will no longer be your opponents soon!"

Kobe nodded. What Fisher said coincided with what he was thinking.

Why would he challenge those veterans?

Except for Meng Lang, he was the one who had been wanting to defeat him in the bullring for several years but had never had a chance, which led to some people who couldn't forget it. Facing other people, he just wants to prove his ability!

He wants Harris to see his abilities and give him more opportunities!

"Thank you, Derek, you are the only one who understands me!" Kobe was very grateful to Fisher for his comfort. He even wanted to make a promise that if he flourishes in the future, the starting position of the Lakers will definitely belong to you, my "warm baby"!

Seeing the more obvious hard work in Kobe's eyes, Fisher couldn't help but smile happily.

That's it, that's it!

Little boy, keep your heart high and arrogant, and let everyone on the team be dissatisfied with you!

In this way, I can get my position with my hard work and hard work!

After this training game, it can be clearly seen that the Lakers players have a clear "status" difference:

Meng Lang, Barkley, Jones and Divac have been practicing tactics together.

In addition to the four of them, the fifth member of the lineup is constantly changing:

From Wilkins to Sedale-Slater and beyond.

Obviously, the starting positions of the four of them have been decided, and the only thing that is still uncertain is that there is only one seat left.

When testing the lineup again, Meng Lang's position kept changing, from the second position to the third position, and from the third position to the second position.

"Magic" Johnson visited the stadium during this period, greeted Barkley, and had a conversation with Meng Lang.

"Man, if I really come back, will you welcome it? I can guarantee that the Lakers are completely your team!" This time, Johnson was much more serious than before.

Meng Lang said: "Of course, I have no reason to refuse this team from getting stronger!"

Johnson, who was born in 59, is already 37 years old and will be 38 next year. But because he is a "magician", Meng Lang believes that he can still help this team. Even sitting on the bench waving a towel, he can elicit louder cheers than other water cooler players.

And this time there is good news:

The people who were originally most opposed to Johnson's comeback were Barkley and Karl Malone.

Now that Barkley is with the Lakers, Karl Malone is the only one left with the "anti-Magic" banner, and he should not be able to make any big waves.

"But you have to be mentally prepared. Once others see you bleeding, their panicky expressions may dampen your self-esteem!" Meng Lang made a very important point. This is also the reason why Johnson hurriedly chose to retire after playing only half a season. He couldn't stand others looking at him like a monster.

Sure enough, Johnson's pupils swayed significantly.

This is also something he cares about very much.

"I am so prepared!" Johnson said this after taking a deep breath.

Meng Lang didn't persuade him again.

"I feel like I still have gas in the tank and I can't wait to get back on the court. It's a shame. I don't want to be in my 50s or 60s and still not be able to accept the fact that I retired at my peak. I did something wrong. I know this is my punishment, but I still want to make up for my regrets. Even if I don't have the ability at my peak, even if I die, I want to die on the bench!"

Two days later, Johnson officially announced his return, causing shock throughout the league.

His words aroused the emotion of some people, and of course the strong opposition of some people. Karl Malone jumped out again: "He is making fun of the entire league! I firmly oppose such a thing happening!"

Only this time, as Meng Lang expected, there were very few people who agreed with him.

Buckley chose silence.

The league did not stop him, and Johnson officially returned to the Lakers locker room. This time it was not a Los Angeles socialite or a Lakers star, but Lakers player "Magic" Johnson.

Looking at the No. 32 jersey hanging on the locker in the locker room, "Magic" looked obviously a little more moved, his eyes were red, and tears filled his eyes at some point, and he was just a little bit close to crying. .

I'm finally back...

"Erwin..."

Meng Lang's shout made Johnson recover from his memories, and his signature smile appeared on his face: "What's wrong, dream?"

He was very grateful to Meng Lang for letting him come back.

Because if Meng Lang disagrees, he believes that he will not be able to return to the Lakers.

Meng Lang took out a pair of black sleeves: "Man, this is my gift to you!"

"Ok?"

Johnson looked at the sleeve and was stunned for a moment.

Meng Lang was not surprised at all. In the 90s, sleeves had not yet become fashionable.

However, the person who started this wave has already entered the league, and it is none other than Allen Iverson, the "No. 96 pick in "!

Meng Lang himself also prepared a pair of sleeves, but they were one-sided to protect his left hand. He demonstrated to Johnson: "In this way, your entire arm can be protected."

Johnson was not a fool. He immediately understood Meng Lang's subtext.

He felt warm.

To be honest, he was prepared to face the horrified looks of others looking at him when he was bleeding, but...

Having such preparations is completely different from if something like this actually happens.

Meng Lang's gift allowed him to greatly reduce the chance and location of bleeding, which greatly reduced the chance of him becoming a "monster".

"Not just Dream, we will all wear sleeves in the new season!" Barkley came over and showed his sleeves, and pointed at Wilkins. The "Old Slam Dunk King" is obviously also a member of the "Sleeve Gang" in the new season.

"Thanks, guys!"

Johnson finally couldn't bear it any longer, and his whole voice was trembling a little more.

"Let's win the championship together!"

Meng Lang stretched out his hand, and others also raised their hands.

Wilkins looked at Meng Lang and his eyes changed for the first time.

The older generation of stars have the pride and glory of the older generation of stars.

Even if you know that this Lakers team now belongs to Meng Lang. Wilkins also thought, "If I don't order him, he can't order me!"

We are in an equal relationship.

But seeing Meng Lang's attitude towards the older generation of stars, Wilkins was a little pleased.

After experiencing the "relentless falling out" between the Hawks and Celtics, at the end of his career, the "Old Dunk King" wanted to see such warmth even more.

Kobe watched silently from the side. Johnson's tearful appearance was very different from the "Magic" who always had a smile in his mind.

Since ancient times, beautiful people are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world.

At the age of 18, he was exposed to what the league's "super giant" looked like in the late stages of his career for the first time. This appearance felt strange to him, but it was so impressive.

One day later, major media began to evaluate the strength of each team in the new season. The defending champion Bulls were ranked first, and the Lakers were ranked second and third on most lists. Location.

Johnson's comeback caused a huge stir, but it was more about him personally than the paper strength of the entire Lakers team.

Just like the movie "Hot and Spicy", 80% or even 90% of the box office is due to Ling losing pounds, but if you really want to talk about the quality of this movie, eh... I understand. Understand.

It can only be said that in this era where gimmicks are paramount, Mouling is indeed very smart.

But for the entire film industry, I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

On the same day, the Lakers took their "final makeup photos" for the new season.

Meng Lang is firmly in the "C" position.

Not only does he stand in the middle of various groups, but he also has his own solo photos. Of course, as far as Meng Lang's reputation is concerned, not to mention Barkley and the others, even Bai Jingting from "Shangchun Mountain" can't even think of taking it away.

The poster posted at the main entrance of Staples Arena is a separate photo of Meng Lang.

This shows what kind of status Meng Lang has in the Lakers in the new season.

In the corridor of the arena, there is a photo of Meng Lang, Barkley and Johnson.

Even though Johnson no longer has the ability he had at his peak, he still has such popularity in Los Angeles.

The black sleeves on the arms of the three people caught the attention of most fans.

Soon, this heartwarming story spread.

From Johnson’s mouth…

Meng Lang's image has become even more popular in Los Angeles.

They like such a warm-hearted leader.

"How did we get him?" Even though the game hasn't started yet and Meng Lang hasn't performed in his debut, some Los Angeles media have already issued similar soul torture.

They firmly believe that acquiring Meng Lang is the most correct choice the Lakers have made since entering the 90s.

Johnson announced his comeback, and Jerry West also signed Byron Scott, the "KwaKua Cult Leader."

The first time he met Meng Lang, he said very enthusiastically: "Man, help me win the championship!"

This sentence alone expressed his infinite trust in Meng Lang, and at the same time made his image in Meng Lang's mind even more lovely.

As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person.

Byron Scott is so good at complimenting others, who wouldn’t like it as a teammate!

As a result, the Lakers' lineup for the new season has almost taken shape:

“Position 1: Magic Johnson, Byron Scott, Derek Fisher;

Position 2: Eddie Jones, Kobe Bryant;

Position 3: Meng Lang, Wilkins;

Position 4: Barkley, Jerome Corsi;

Position 5: Divac, Sean Lukes, Tyrese Knight;”

If this lineup were all at their peak, they would have a great chance of winning if they directly challenged the "Dream Team". Even if not all are at their peak, this lineup is enough to rank among the top in the league. Of course, this is an assessment based on paper strength.

When it came time to test the strength of the lineup at the training ground, problems quickly emerged:

The first is "Magic" Johnson. Although he has recovered well, his overall movement speed has slowed down. Just like someone who calls himself "goat" in the future, starting from the age of 38, he prefers to stay under the basket when defending. In most cases, he is unwilling to defend outside players.

The reason is that his absolute speed has not declined much, but his absolute speed when he was young is now like the ultimate move in League of Legends. After using it once, it will enter the cooldown period.

Johnson also faces this problem, and he is now more suitable to play power forward.

Johnson's original position after his comeback was also at power forward.

This was also the reason why he felt aggrieved. In the division of labor between the five positions on the basketball court, power forwards generally do the dirty work, and tactics tend to be tilted towards the power center position. However, this time Johnson chose to come back only after having psychological expectations.

I have thought about the situations I will face.

And this time he is not alone. Wilkins, who was once the league's top striker, is also experiencing the same "embarrassment." Having someone to accompany you on the way down the mountain makes you feel less lonely after all.

Johnson agreed to play power forward.

As a result, position 1 is still vacant.

Harris needs to choose between Byron Scott and Derek Fisher.

Finally, Fisher's honest and friendly face came to his mind, and the choice was decided.

From a long-term perspective, the 22-year-old Derek Fisher is indeed more worthy of development than Scott, a player at the end of his career.

When he heard that he would be the starter for the Lakers in the new season, he was completely stunned.

"Congratulations, man!" Kobe sincerely sent his blessings. He envied Fisher, but thinking that this guy who always encouraged him could have such an opportunity, he was more happy for Fisher. .

Fisher smiled gratefully at him, and then whispered: "Kobe, believe me, you are definitely more suitable for this starting position than Eddie, and I am the most comfortable working with you! I believe you can do it!" "

Kobe nodded, he felt Fisher was right.

At this point, Meng Lang was right behind the two of them. Looking at Fisher's sneaky appearance as a dog, and then looking at the uncontrollable fighting spirit in Kobe's eyes, he suddenly thought of selling abductors. I was really fooled!

What can we do? Who makes Kobe so paranoid?

But for Fisher, an "old coin", Meng Lang felt that it was necessary to give him some color. It's not to avenge Kobe, but for the sake of the team's atmosphere, he needs to calm down.

Therefore, when running tactics, Meng Lang's requirements for Fisher have always been "high requirements and strict standards." Even others can see that Meng Lang seems to dislike Fisher.

"Xiaoyu" himself naturally noticed this. He was originally excited because he could run tactics with the starter, but he suddenly didn't dare to express his anger. He knows that the basketball court is not about fighting and killing, but about the world of people. He knows very well how bad it is to piss off the boss of the team.

Especially for him.

At this moment, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in his back, like a lump in his throat...

But before he could ask Meng Lang for the reason, Kobe came over first and slapped him on the back: "Man, I'm sorry for causing trouble for you."

In his opinion, Meng Lang must have targeted Fisher because he was too close to him.

Well, it must be!

Fisher's mind didn't turn around at first, but after listening to Kobe's words, he thought about it more seriously, and maybe, maybe, it was really possible. His first thought was whether to stay away from Kobe in the future.

Just kidding, this is Meng Lang's anger. Is this something a rookie like him can bear?

Since joining the Lakers, he has been walking on thin ice all the way. It took a lot of effort to get to where he is today, and he doesn't want to fall short.

Kobe didn't know that Fisher already had the idea of ​​staying away from him. He looked at Meng Lang with disdain in his heart:

If anything happens, just come to me. It’s nothing to make things difficult for my friends!

Well, since Kobe entered training camp, Fisher is the only person who has kept him going his own way. Such a person is undoubtedly his friend.
