Chapter 270 The two major centers join the City of Angels, very different
At ten o'clock in the morning, Leonard came to the arena, and 10 minutes later, Jimmy Butler came too.
Originally, this was their rest time. They had just finished a long road trip. This was the vacation they deserved. Moreover, Christmas was approaching and they needed to make some preparations. This is a big holiday in the West.
It's like, Griffin practiced until 11 o'clock, and then he left.
It seemed more like he was here to express his loyalty to Fan Xi.
Leonard and Butler are very focused on improving their singles in the mid-range, and the two take turns one-on-one. These two small forwards in the same position are encouraging each other's growth, and their growth rate is amazing.
At present, Leonard is stronger than Butler on both offense and defense, but Butler has a strong fighter attribute on the court. He is like a bulldog, howling as soon as he comes on the court.
"Jack, Howard has been traded to the Lakers. He is likely to play in the Christmas game. We need to cut off the connection between him and Paul before they are skilled enough."
Leonard gives his opinion to Fanci.
Silent Leonard is a person who can make accurate analysis of specific matters.
Butler lacks some in this aspect, but he is a fanatic warrior. "I am going to give Howard a greeting gift. When he comes on the court, I will dunk him until he gets scared."
These two crouching dragons and phoenix chicks both won Fan Xi's heart.
Fan Xi likes the way of getting along with them very much.
Leonard even said to Fanshie: Don't accept Ballmer's investment. If he becomes the majority shareholder, it will not be much different from Sterling running the team. Maybe he will be more generous, but essentially you are just more generous.
Got some dividends.
Butler also agreed with this point. Although these two men had no money, they also expressed that they could lend Fan Xi hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Of course this is a drop in the bucket, Fan Xi accepts it heartily.
Interestingly, Kwame Brown came over at noon and told Fan Xi that he could lend Fan Xi 20 million in cash.
This made Fan Xi dizzy.
Butler asked Kwame Brown without emotional intelligence: You are a parallel import No. 1 pick, how do you get so much money?
Kwame Brown was also very sincere. He scratched the back of his head and said, "I know I'm not smart and everyone laughs at me. So, my solution is to not spend money at all. I save every salary I receive.
Don’t buy funds that make huge profits either.”
Um... Foolish people are blessed with foolishness.
However, Fancy rejected Kwame Brown, and in fact he rejected every teammate on the team.
Because he has assumed the identity of the team owner, he knows that to manage a team well, there must be no personal relationships in this regard.
When it comes to money, it must be clean, clean, and clean.
Kwame Brown has played very well this season, especially in the past four away games. In the absence of Blake Griffin, he averaged 11.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 assists in four games, which is already top blue-collar data.
, even more than Jordan.
Their two defensive centers caused great embarrassment to their opponents.
Kwame Brown's progress is due to the trick he practiced, the 'jump dunk'. Of course, this is when there is space. When there is no space, Stephen Nash's inward pass always takes care of him just right.
Small short hands.
Kwame Brown, who has been in the league for 10 years, undoubtedly has the best season of his career.
"I want to teach Dwight Howard a lesson."
Kwame Brown revealed the bitterness he had hidden for many years. He was the first high school center to be drafted No. 1 in the 21st century, and Dwight Howard was the second high school center to be picked No. 1. At the beginning, it was inevitable that many people would compare them.
.During that time, Dwight Howard's team issued press releases crazily, belittling Kwame Brown and praising Dwight. This is actually true.
But in Kwame Brown's mouth, he clearly remembered that in 2004, which was also the week before Christmas, he and Dwight Howard met. Kwame Brown, who had held his breath, was fully prepared, and he was ready to do something big.
In that game, Kwame Brown ate Howard three times in a row at the beginning. Howard was powerless against the strong and well-prepared Kwame Brown, but Howard then elbowed Kwame Brown and took advantage of Kwame
Brown accidentally completed a dunk over Kwame Brown's head.
In fact, the two players' statistics in that game were almost the same.
But after the game, photos of Howard dunking on Kwame Brown were all over the place.
This had a huge impact on Kwame Brown.
It was also because of that incident that Kwame Brown thought it was the beginning of the disaster, because from then on, everyone called him the number one parallel importer, which sealed the deal. Dwight skyrocketed because of it.
With Howard becoming the number one center, Kwame Brown is getting farther and farther away from revenge. Every time they meet again, he can't produce any good data.
Just when he was about to give up.
He ushered in a new life with the Clippers. And, Howard came to the City of Angels.
Kwame Brown decided to bravely speak out about this matter, and he wanted to seek justice.
Fan Xi heard about Kwame Brown’s past.
Because Kwame Brown spoke unorganized, he could only roughly understand the meaning. So, he asked: "What do you want to do?"
"I'm going to dunk over his head, and I'm going to turn him into a parallel import number one pick." Kwame Brown said loudly.
hiss!
Fan Xi, Leonard, and Butler took a deep breath at the same time.
Kwame Brown really dares to think.
Howard is at the peak of his power, and he is the league's number one center. The media compared this transaction to when O'Neal joined the Lakers. You, a former parallel import No. 1 pick who had just had enough to eat, actually want to restore the status quo and replace Howard.
"Well, good, that's a very good proposal."
Fan Xi patted him on the shoulder to encourage him.
Although everyone knows how ridiculous this thing is, you can't hit your teammates.
Kwame Brown is content.
He recently learned a Chinese proverb from Chen Ye: Oranges growing in the south are called tangerines, and oranges growing in the north are called tangerines.
It wasn't that I wasn't good before, it was because I didn't encounter a good environment. I was still strong in nature.
The reason why Howard is the number one center is because he has found the right environmental soil. Now, he has undergone a big change and has changed the hall. It is a good time to change him from an orange to a mandarin orange.
Kwame Brown is full of energy because he has gained theoretical confidence.
This is probably Chen Ye's role in the locker room. He can actually make a parallel importer have confidence and theoretical support.
Yunwen Yunwu.
…
Dwight Howard clearly doesn't take Kwame Brown seriously.
He arrived in Los Angeles before the deal was announced.
When the league officially approved the deal, he quickly appeared at a press conference in Los Angeles. The Lakers had been preparing for this for a long time.
When Kwame Brown was still delivering his "life-changing" rhetoric to Dwight Howard at the Clippers training facility, the super-large press conference site at Staples Arena had already been set up.
The entire Lakers team is very excited about the arrival of Dwight Howard. The City of Angels is full of excited fans. From the commentary circle to the fan circle, almost everyone has determined one thing: the era of the Lakers has come!
The Los Angeles Lakers made up for the last shortcoming, and they became a true hexagon warrior.
When Dwight Howard appeared at the press conference, two thousand fans were cheering in the arena, and hundreds of reporters were snapping photos below.
Everyone knows that this is a historic moment.
When Howard took over the symbolic No. 12 Lakers jersey from general manager Magic, the entire scene flashed crazily.
This is a shocking scene.
"I'm here just to keep the championship in Los Angeles and at Staples Center."
Dwight Howard grinned with his iconic smile. He grabbed the microphone and said loudly: "Nothing can stop Los Angeles from lifting the championship trophy! Long live Los Angeles!!!"
His words made the two thousand fans extremely excited, shouting and roaring loudly.
“What we want to establish is not just a three-consecutive dynasty, we want to establish a four-consecutive super dynasty, a five-consecutive super-super dynasty, a six-consecutive super-super dynasty, a seven-consecutive super-super dynasty, an eight-consecutive super dynasty.
Super, super, super dynasty. And nine consecutive championships and ten consecutive championships that surpass history... Yes, we are unstoppable!!!"
Dwight Howard grabbed the microphone and continued to speak eloquently.
Every time he spoke, there would be thunderous cheers and screams below.
Howard is indeed a happy beast, he can really bring happiness to everyone.
Leader of the atmosphere team.
In the subsequent interview session with reporters.
A reporter asked him what he thought of this transaction.
"I'm here to rewrite basketball history. I've been in the East for many years, and people there keep saying that the West is strong and the East is weak, but soon, they will thank me because it will become the East is strong and the West is weak. Why? Because? Because
Those who stay in the West will never succeed because of me and the Lakers. Just like Jordan ruled in the 1990s, we are ready to dominate in the 10s."
Howard was so confident that his words made the magician next to him, Jenny Buss, feel like they were on stimulants, and their hearts were broken when he said it.
Then, another reporter asked: "There were rumors that you would join another team in Los Angeles. What made you decide to join the Lakers?"
"This is a rumor. I have never thought about joining a team other than the Lakers. Only the Lakers are worthy of me, and only I am worthy of the Lakers. We are a match made in heaven, and we will always be the overlord. The best center in the world.
There's always been one place to belong: the Los Angeles Lakers."
Howard continued to respond domineeringly.
Jenny and the magician sitting next to them seemed to have drank a jar of honey again.
At this time, the reporter asked again: "Then what do you think of the other team in the same city? This season, they have made rapid progress, and their influence in Los Angeles is growing. They are even about to change a boss, and
He is also the first active player owner in history..."
Howard interrupted.
He said forcefully: "My arrival is to return them to their original position. I have never heard of the Los Angeles Lakers, not any other teams in Los Angeles. I will rule them. As for their internal affairs, I don't know.
Make an evaluation.”
"In the Christmas war, I will appear. People will see what real rule is!"
Howard was talking, showing off his biceps, and specifically looking for the camera to shout: "Captain Jack, your nemesis is here, your good days are over."
It must be said that Howard is a performing personality.
His domineering movements and powerful shouting made the fans at the scene excited again, and the reporters below were also very, very happy.
Jenny, who was sitting on the stage, couldn't even hold back the smile on her face.
She was so happy, her whole body was secreting dopamine.
She felt relaxed and happy like never before. Because she was pushed too hard by Fan Xi and the Clippers before. Now, Howard is here, the league's number one center is here, the Lakers are invincible, Clippers! Jack Fan! Suffer death.
!!
Jenny Buss was beyond excited.
Then, reporters asked Howard about the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs and Chicago Bulls, potential contenders for the championship.
He answered them all arrogantly.
His answer carries the hopes of all Lakers fans.
Today, Lakers fans are collectively in high spirits.
With the addition of Howard and these domineering words, the popularity of the Christmas Day game has reached an unprecedented height, and everyone is beginning to look forward to this city derby.
Although most people think that the Lakers will beat the Clippers without any suspense.
But...this process is also very important.
At this time, one hour after the Lakers press conference ended, the NBA official website released a small piece of news.
It didn't even attract media attention.
The content of the news is: The Los Angeles Clippers have reached a two-year, $3.5 million contract with free agent Yao Ming.
Compared to the league's No. 1 center joining the Los Angeles Lakers.
This little giant who retired and then came back seems...not to be taken seriously by the media.
Of course, the Chinese media is going crazy at the moment.
For them, the significance of Little Giant joining the Clippers is far greater than Dwight Howard joining the Lakers.
