"Our singer, Mr. Bruce Lee, is really in hell mode now. He is like the handsome boy in high school who was the most popular among girls at parties. He suddenly got into the football team and was not only a target for rivals from other schools.

Give him a good look, and his teammates on the school team are also gearing up to teach him a lesson."

In a new season preview program on TNT, the host ridiculed Bruce: "He is probably the worst No. 3 pick in NBA history."

Jordan Farmar and Smash Pack's speeches in front of the media made the Lakers point guard competition well known.

Moreover, it seems that no one is optimistic about Bruce becoming Los Angeles' answer at the No. 1 position.

Lakers vice president Jim Buss and general manager Kupchak also had the same idea. Therefore, they specially invited Buss to the training facility on the second day of training camp. They learned that there would be a team training game in the afternoon.

Before this, Kupchak told Smashparker very seriously: If you can't suppress Bruce, your position will definitely be lost. The whole world knows that Phil Jackson likes Bruce Lee, what you have to do is to make him helpless.

You can talk.

Smashpark told Kupchak with full confidence: "I can beat him with one hand. I played against him as early as last season, and I know his skills well."

Hearing this affirmative answer, Kupchak was relieved.

The reason why he and Jim Buss invited old Buss over was actually to embarrass Jenny Buss.

Jeanie Buss is a very ambitious and capable woman, and she is also in a relationship with head coach Phil Jackson. This makes Jim Buss feel threatened, fearing that the old Buss will hand over power to his sister.

.

Therefore, while the whole world was criticizing the No. 3 pick, he planned to let Bass see the true strength of the No. 3 pick with his own eyes, and also let his father see clearly how bad his sister's vision was.

So, after eating lunch, they went to the second floor of the training hall to observe the Lakers' overall strength in the new season up close.

When the Lakers coaching team arrived on the second floor silently, they also officially started the first full-court tactical drill of the new season.

Coach Winter Sr. leads last season's lineup.

The substitute side is managed by assistant coach Brian Shaw.

There is also competition between them. Old Winter challenged his old friend with a smile before the game started: "We will easily score 30 points in 10 minutes and lead you by 2 digits. If you are not convinced, you can use what you have just learned from

The red wine bought from France was used as a bet."

"I'm not reluctant to part with my French wine, but what if you don't make it? Are you willing to bet your prosciutto?"

The bet between two old friends is more like a joke between two foodies.

But in the hearts of Smarshpark and Jordan Farmar, this is a war that will trample Bruce under his feet: There is only one piece of the cake. Although Bruce Lee is the most criticized, he is also the most famous. Only if the team will

Only by suppressing it completely can he succeed.

Therefore, their spirits are highly tense.

Especially Jordan Farmar, whether he can take the lead on the bench has not yet been determined.

But he thinks he has a better chance. Because he played 6 games with Brian Shaw in the Las Vegas Summer League. He asked himself that his performance in these 6 games was good enough, and Bruce only played one game.

Even though I won the game, there was not a single good word in the media.

However, Brian Shaw still gave Jordan Farmar a surprise.

He selected five players from 10 substitutes, namely Turiaf, Eddie Griffin, Radmanovic, Vujacic and Bruce Lee.

For Brian Shaw, it's about his top-notch red wine, and he doesn't want to take any chances.

Although Jordan Farmar showed strong personal ability in the summer league, no matter how strong he is, can he be better than Kobe? Brian Shaw felt like a mirror.

When players from both sides step onto the court, the game officially begins.

Standing in front of the glass window on the second floor, Jim Buss couldn't wait to tell his father: "We can finally see with our own eyes the true level of the No. 3 pick."

Old Buss nodded slightly. "Well, I also have expectations for him. Although the outside world said that he is useless, he can lead Stanford to the NCAA finals and win the favor of Phil. He must be superior to others.

Place."

These words gave Jim Bass an unusual smell.

He turned his head and Kupchak gave him an affirmative look.

Kupchak believed that Smarshpark, the streetball king who ran rampant on the streets of New York, was not very good in the NBA, but if it was a fight, it would not be a problem to deal with Bruce Lee. Even letting Bruce make a fool of himself would not be a problem.

Just a few wiggles: What street ball guards do best is make people look foolish.

But at this time, a shocking scene occurred on the court.

When Bruce reached the frontcourt with the ball and Smushparker quickly came up to him... Bang!

Li Zhen suddenly changed direction before his body arrived, and instantly shook Smashparker aside.

With just one encounter, Parker couldn't follow the pace.

He turned his head, and Li Zhen had already shot into the three-point line like an arrow from the string.

Smashparker couldn't help but be surprised: What's going on?

Parker's vision was too short-sighted. He was still stuck on Li Zhen's last trial training, but he didn't know that the boat had already passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Now the Blues' explosive power has suddenly increased after the "selfless contributions" of Randy Foye and Ologkandy. The numerical value has reached 59, which is only 2 points worse than Smarsh Parker's 61, not to mention that he has just returned from the offseason.

The pot-bellied Smarshpack has yet to find his full form.

The most important thing is that Bruce's agility has been rapidly improved to 68 due to JJ Redick's malicious actions, far exceeding his 60. There are also soft talents such as coordination and speed that originally left him far behind.

Smarsh still imagined that he could stop Bruce in a physical confrontation with his leisurely steps like before... It has become a fantasy.

"nice."

Old Bass on the second floor looked at Li Zhen's passing and nodded silently. This old man who loves basketball and regards basketball as his lifelong career is already the fat man who knows the most about basketball among all NBA bosses.

Bruce's escape movement was clean and neat, and his subsequent acceleration was even more vigorous, showing the demeanor of a top breakthroughr.

Soon, under his gaze, Bruce completed another pass that made him applaud. When Bruce quickly penetrated into the free throw line, Lamar Odom quickly came up to help defend.

While he was assisting in defense, Li Zhen quickly stopped.

Although his center of gravity was a little unstable, he still made a quick shooting movement, which deceived Odom's steps and moved his center of gravity forward.

At this moment, Bruce's basketball quickly hit the ground.

Eddie Griffin moved quickly, grabbed the basketball with great tacit understanding, and jumped into the air...BOOM!

His dunks came pouring out.

Old Bass applauded from the second floor.

"Beautiful breakthrough, beautiful timing of passing, beautiful dunk!"

Old Bass said three beautiful things in a row.

This made Jim Bass frown more and more tightly, and he looked at Kupchak unhappily.

Although Kupchak was panicking, he still comforted Jim Bass with his eyes: Don't worry, hold on. This is just a technical adjustment, and the market is still leaning towards us. Smarshpack will fight back soon.

However, when Smushparker reached the frontcourt with the ball and bravely charged towards Bruce, Li Zhen faced him face to face.

puff!

Although Li Zhen was still retreating, his flexibility, long arms, and tenacious will were able to block Smarsh at the three-point line.

In the end, when Kobe Bryant reached for the ball, he could only pass the basketball.

"Bruce's physical strength is not as weak as imagined. Those media reports are really random. I called Bryant last night and Kobe said that he has gained a lot of weight." Bass continued to comment.

The look in Jim Bass's eyes could kill people: I didn't invite the old man here to praise this Bruce Lee. I asked him to get angry. What did you do?

Kupchak broke out in a cold sweat. He never dreamed that Bruce Lee would improve so much silently: Aren't the media advocating that Bruce would hold concerts everywhere and have scandals with his sisters every day? How could he still improve so fast? He is

Superman? Or like the flower picker in Chinese martial arts, who can increase his energy by hunting women?

The game continues.

But the battle between Bruce and Smushparker is over.

When Bruce once again threw his aggressive defense outside the three-point line like a wooden stake, and penetrated into the paint, attracting double-teams and then assisted Radmanovic, who ran to the bottom corner of the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

Old Buss even offered to go to the sidelines to watch the ball up close: "His passing skills are so amazing, it reminds me of Magic."

At the same time, Smarshpark tried to counterattack, but Kobe Bryant took over the ball again.

The grim reaper from the streets was reduced to a ball-moving machine.

This made Jim Buss want to strangle Kupchak: Originally, I wanted to make Jenny Buss feel depressed, but now it’s better, I’m going to be so angry!

The game continued until the fifth minute.

Or maybe Phil Jackson just couldn't stand it any longer. The obese Grim Reaper made things miserable unilaterally, so he added Jordan Farmar to the lineup to see the effect.

The leading point guard from UCL does show a different rhythm.

He didn't even touch the ball, because Kobe Bryant, who was led by the substitute team, was mentally unbalanced. He entered a crazy singles mode, and no one could calm him down.

Therefore, Jordan Farmar can only focus on the defensive end.

Although his defensive skills are not as good as Smush Parker's, he has learned Parker's lesson: he is not stubborn, and he does not take the initiative to defend aggressively forward.

However, it's still of no use.

Because Bruce is a cunning guy, Kenny Smith appropriately gave him the title of 'Little Fox'.
