NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 253 Jordan Law
"Annie, why did you get together with Max!"

"This guy is our enemy in Los Angeles!"

The first words Nicholson turned around and said made Lu Yuanzhi and Hathaway unable to hold their nerves.

Yes, after all, Hathaway is also a Hollywood female star with a blockbuster masterpiece. With the intricate relationships in Hollywood, it is not strange to meet Nicholson.

Also use Kobe or Lu Yuanzhi to introduce?

This is like an outsider telling high school student Kobe Bryant, "Hey, I'll introduce you to an NBA star, and then taking Kobe Bryant to meet Stackhouse."

What do you think Stackhouse would say?
Boy, continue our duel?

There are inexplicable connections in basketball circles, let alone Hollywood, which is more about connections!

Although Lu Yuanzhi was calm on the surface, he was a little embarrassed in his heart. However, Hathaway and Nicholson were already familiar with each other. Why didn't he tell her when he proposed to introduce her to Hollywood big shots?

Ok?
"I can't help it. Kobe originally promised Annie to bring her over to get to know him, but he lost the game and disappeared! I had to do it for him!"

"When you speak ill of others, don't you first observe the situation around you?" Kobe's familiar voice came from behind Lu Yuanzhi, "Sorry, Annie, I walked to the players' tunnel out of habit."

The four of them started chatting on the edge of the court.

Reporters also noticed that the combination of these four people was really strange.

A loyal Lakers fan and a legendary Hollywood director.

A Lakers star, well, second in command.

A key player for the rival Kings.

There is also a Hollywood female star who is somewhat famous but has never appeared on the basketball court.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't know what stories the reporters would make up based on the photos of the four of them chatting, but he didn't care.

After chatting for a while, Lu Yuanzhi took his leave first, while Hathaway blushed and quietly stuffed him a note.

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi about to leave, Kobe said hello and chased after him.

"Boy, you're so tongue-tied today!"

"Didn't you have bad breath first? You sprayed it all afternoon."

"Oh?"

"You know what I'm most angry about, Kobe?"

"That is, you obviously have no salary space next year, and you still come to recruit me?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Or do you think a middle-class contract can get rid of me?"

"Without a maximum salary contract, I won't go to any team!"

Lu Yuanzhi came to complain first, which not only covered up his uncharacteristic trash talk, but also planted a needle in Kobe's heart.

Yes, if you want to recruit Lu Yuanzhi, you have to come up with a maximum salary contract of 25% of the salary cap, and the team already has two maximum salary contracts, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant who have 35% of the salary cap.

There is a high probability that the Lakers are unwilling to break the salary cap. If you want Buss to pay the luxury tax, it is better to kill him with a gun.

Kobe also woke up at this time. Yes, the Lakers had no way of recruiting Max.

No, not necessarily!

Maybe let some max-salary slacker go and there would be enough cap space to recruit Max.

There is even room for reinforcements for the team.

However, can the Lakers really win without O'Neal?Kobe quickly shook these thoughts out of his head.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't expect that his words would be able to alienate the OK group, but at least he planted a seed in Kobe's heart. When something happened, he could guide Kobe to think in the direction Lu Yuanzhi wanted.

"Hey, kid, didn't you agree to let Kobe have the idea of ​​competing for the team boss? Why did I listen to you spewing trash talk the whole time and belittle him!"

"Shouldn't you praise him and give him the confidence to challenge O'Neal?"

Lu Yuanzhi returned to the locker room after a while. Everyone was almost ready. Bobby Jackson sat naked in front of the locker after taking a shower and raised his question loudly.

Everyone in the locker room stopped playing around and turned their attention to Lu Yuanzhi.

"Hey, don't you know Kobe?"

"What's the point of praising him? He won't get lost in the praise."

"But the more you say he can't do it, the more he wants to prove that he can do it!"

"I told Kobe, he has never won the scoring title, the regular season MVP, or the Finals MVP, but O'Neal has won them all!"

"What do you think Kobe would think?"

"Should he take crazy shots and try to prove that he is no worse than O'Neal?"

"Besides, don't you know, what skills did Kobe practice this summer?"

"He actually practiced post-ups!"

"I can even imagine the wonderful scene between him and O'Neal competing for offensive positions!"

The big news revealed by Lu Yuanzhi shocked the entire locker room, and then there was a buzz of exchanges.

After Lu Yuanzhi said that, he didn't care what the coaching staff and teammates thought. He went straight in to take a shower. After all, what was written on the note was the parking lot area and number.

He couldn't keep a girl waiting!
After Lu Yuanzhi walked into the shower, Adelman thought for a while, then clapped his hands and announced loudly, "Mike and Doug, you two go to the press conference with me, and remember to praise Chauncey and Kobe more."

"Coach," Christie had some objections, "Chauncy played very well. We all know how to praise him, but how about Kobe?"

"Do you praise his shooting percentage of less than 25%?"

"Be smart," Adelman said confidently. "Don't mention the shooting percentage. Just mention how critical his certain score was. He grabbed the score, overtook the score, reversed the situation, and improved morale! I still want these words. Teach you?"

"Then how do you explain that we only double-team O'Neal and never double-team Kobe?"

"Doesn't this mean we value O'Neal more than Kobe?"

Christy continued to grimace.

He can brag about Kobe Bryant, and he has done it often, but in today's game, even if you are blind, you can see that the Kings' defensive focus is on O'Neal.

Lu Yuanzhi came out of the shower at this time and was drying his hair with a hair dryer. Hearing this, he turned off the hair dryer and interrupted, "Doug, it's very simple, 'Jordan's Rule'!"

Christie's eyes lit up, what a good explanation!

As we all know, "Jordan's Law" has two meanings.

The first is that the whole team used various dirty methods to prevent Jordan from scoring!
The second is to guard Jordan's teammates, cut off their connection with Jordan, and let Jordan score alone.

After entering the new millennium, as the league has cracked down on dirty moves on the court for many years, the first plan has become difficult to implement, so when everyone mentions the "Jordan Rules", the first thing that comes to mind is the second plan.

Wonderful!

Not only did he find a perfect excuse not to double-team Kobe, he also mentioned the name of the man Kobe paid most attention to!

Kill two birds with one stone!
