Chapter 29 Lakers Road Trip to the East
There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

Zheng Long admitted.

His current performance is indeed worthy of the favor of all basketball agents.

but.

Not to this point.

This is not seeking a partnership.

This is naked "licking" Lao Tzu!
As for why lick?

Some of the players that Rich Paul has signed.

Chris Bosh, Tristan Thompson, Rogers Marsan
Later Anthony Davis.

these people.

Without exception.

They all became James' teammates.

It can be said.

As James' queen agent.

What Rich Paul has done has gone beyond the scope of an agent.

Is there any connection in this.

The outside world has already reached a consensus.

after all.

This is within the rules.

Of course, Zheng Long was not arrogant enough to feel that.

I just played two games.

It has reached the point where olive branches are being thrown in all directions.

although.

I do have this strength.

It can only be said that this is a signal.

"Mr. Paul, you know, what I need now is an agent who can help me with related matters."

"That's all."

"By the way, I don't have any interest in collecting Jordan's jerseys, keep them for yourself."

Zheng Long spoke directly.

Rich Paul raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Zheng Long to say that.

Originally Rich Paul thought.

A young player like Zheng Long who uses Jordan as a template and plays very similar to Jordan.

Definitely a crazy Jordan fan.

It seems.

I was wrong.

Rich Paul waved his hand and let the service staff leave with the photo frame.

Show a gentle smile.

"Then I am the best candidate. I am the best agent in the league. I can handle all affairs perfectly for you."

"You know, my clients range from league superstars and stars to ordinary players."

"I can handle and respond to matters of any size and size."

Zheng Long had to admit it.

There's nothing wrong with what Rich Paul said.

Simply as his own agent, Rich Paul is absolutely qualified.

just.

You have to think for yourself.

If you sign Rich Paul.

Whether it will send out wrong signals to the outside world.

Or hint.

That's not what I want.

Although, the present is an era of "brother basketball".

But Zheng Long didn't feel it.

Facing the Warriors who joined Durant.

James needs help.

but.

I don't need it.

Because Te Niang has cheats herself!
If there is a plug-in and play brother basketball.

That's too bad.

Thinking clearly about this, Zheng Long stood up with a smile.

"I'll think about it."

"but."

"I'd be inclined not to think about it."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Long left.

Leaving Rich Paul in place with a stunned expression.

When Zheng Long closed the door of the box.

There was no annoyance on Rich Paul's face.

Only helpless.

As an agent in the NBA, Rich Paul has seen too many players.

personality.

It is the most lacking of players.

of course.

Such a prominent personality like Zheng Long.

rare.

Rich Paul took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Well, he rejected me as his agent."

"."

"How to evaluate?"

"."

"I don't know, but there is good news from Davis. He is starting to think about working with me, maybe next season"

Ended the call.

Rich Paul took another sip of his wine, got up and left.

But was told by the waiter.

Someone has already paid for it.

at this time.

Zheng Long sitting in a taxi.

are regretting.

motherfucker.

If I had known earlier, there would be tens of thousands of dollars on the table,

Just fucking packed.

Dragon meat!
So expensive!
In a blink of an eye, the tail of October quietly ended and November entered.

According to the schedule, this year the Lakers will also start their first Eastern Conference road trip ahead of schedule this year.

The division of the NBA's east and west was originally based on regions.

The east and west of the United States span a long distance.

So in order to reduce the long-distance travel between the teams.

This is how the east and west are divided.

The biggest challenge of the Eastern Conference road trip is the need to adapt to different time zones, cities, and arenas in a short period of time.

This is for the team.

It's actually a challenge.

Similar to a business trip.

Early in the morning.

Zheng Long and his teammates packed their bags.

Arrived at the airport ready to take a special plane.

airport.

Spontaneously, countless Lakers fans came to support.

Now the Lakers have won 2 games in a row.

Has become a treasure in the hearts of fans.

"Come on! Come back with victory!"

"Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!"

"The Lakers Championship!"

The boys of the Lakers are also very excited, winning 2 games in a row, and the players are very confident.

Already ready to kill the Quartet on the road.

And the first stop of the Lakers' Eastern Conference away game.

That's Indianapolis, Indiana.

against the Pacers.

Indiana Pacers.

NBA veteran level team.

He won three championships in the ABA. In 1976, as one of the four ABA teams, they merged into the NBA.

The original Pacers were a well-known old bottom in the league.

Can't even make it to the playoffs.

In the 80s, it gradually got on the right track.

The 90s began to enter the stage under the spotlight.

Made it to the Eastern Conference Finals four times.

You don't necessarily hear how great the Pacers have been.

But you must have heard of the most famous star in the history of the Pacers.

Reggie Miller!

Miller moment! In 8.9 seconds, two three-pointers were scored, leading the team to complete the reversal.

Of course, in the 90s, again in the East.

It is inseparable from the duel between Miller and Jordan.

The most classic is the Eastern Conference Finals in the 1997-1998 season.

The Pacers and Bulls led by Miller fought to tiebreaker!
Fight to the last moment.

Although he still fell at the feet of the bull in the end.

The bull that successfully passed the Pacers.

In the finals, they easily defeated the Utah Jazz 4-2 and won the NBA championship.

This can be proved.

The Pacers at the time were the best team in the league except for the Bulls!

It was also the biggest enemy of the Bulls in the league at the time.

After Jordan retired.

People would have thought that the Pacers finally had a chance to win a championship.

Never thought.

The duel with the Bulls is the pinnacle of the Pacers.

After that, the Pacers did not go any further.

Especially in the 2004-2005 season, a total of 9 players were suspended for a total of 143 games in the infamous "Auburn Hills Palace gang fight incident".

The Pacers were devastated.

After losing in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the team's legendary player Thunder Miller retired.

Until the Pacers drafted their new star in 2010.

Paul George.

And a management reshuffling.

The Pacers have once again stepped into the ranks of the strong teams in the East.

The rankings in the Eastern Conference continue to advance, and they have entered the playoffs one after another.

As a result, in 2011-14, three consecutive years.

The playoffs were eliminated by the Miami Heat for three consecutive years.

Time is also life.

The three-game losing streak completely broke the Pacers' spirit.

In the 2014-15 season, he did not make the playoffs.

In the 2015-16 season, he was eliminated by the Raptors in the first round.

nowadays.

The Pacers have become a mid-range team in the East.

Once again faded out of the ranks of the strong team.

On November 11, the Pacers' home court, Conseco Arena.

Lakers and Pacers players.

A simple warm-up has already been carried out on the field.

The game is about to start.
