Thanos

Chapter 22 Mr. Duck Egg
In this game, neither madmen nor aliens played.

The media speculated that it was because the two were getting old and taking turns to rest.

Only Ye Heping, a traveler, knew clearly that it was a matter of money.

Without aliens and madmen, Garnett's only helper is "Handsome" Wally Szczerbiak.

Szczerbiak is also an All-Star scorer, 201 cm, 109 kg, and a swingman.

It's a pity that two consecutive seasons of serious injuries directly interrupted his ascent.

Returning from injury this season, the state is still relatively poor for the time being.

As the Timberwolves' number one outside attacker, the task of defense naturally fell to Ye Heping.

15投3中，8分3篮板2助攻。

This is Szczerbiak's final data.

Ye Heping is tall and has long arms, is faster and jumps faster, which makes Sczerbiak extremely uncomfortable.

Of course, the media believed that this was because Szczerbiak was affected by injuries, and it had nothing to do with Ye Heping's defense.

And Garnett blasted Odom, scoring 35 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.

Odom made 9 of 1 shots and had only 2 points and 5 rebounds.

With the continuous downturn, Tang Shuai and Kobe became more and more dissatisfied with him.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Timberwolves 103:87.

Although the wolf king is fierce, he cannot support himself alone.

At this time, the Lakers' record is 4 wins and 2 losses, and there is only 1 game left in the preseason, playing the Cavaliers away.

But before going to Cleveland, the team had a skirmish.

Kobe and Odom, the team boss and the second child quarreled once, but fortunately it was private.

When Ye Heping heard about it, it was Divac who told him about it.

"Don't talk about Kobe, even I want to beat Odom."

Divac clearly supported Kobe.

Ye Heping asked, "Did Odom make any mistakes?"

It turns out that Odom has been in a sluggish state recently, but Kobe has always expressed his understanding, thinking that he is a newcomer and cannot adapt to the Lakers' style of play.

Who knows, just a few days ago, one of the Lakers management, Martin.

It was the middle manager who interviewed Ye Heping. He went to a nightclub and found out the news.

Odom has been in nightclubs since he came to Los Angeles, even the eve of the home game. It is said that one girl is not enough every time.

"Know Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning?"

Divac asked.

"Of course!"

This stalk is used to prove how hard-working Kobe is, and it has always been Comey's creed.

"Haha, now two people from our team can see Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning, Kobe and Odom. It's just that Kobe got up for training, and Odom just came out of the nightclub."

Divac smiled with anger, which shows how much he can't understand Odom.

However, Ye Heping suddenly realized that in a big city like Los Angeles, the temptation is too great, and it is hard not to get lost.

Ye Heping came here from time to time and knows a lot.

Odom later revealed that he is a sex addict and can't stand not doing that kind of thing.

He also claims to have had sex with more than 2000 women.

He married Kardashian, but it was because of multiple derailments that his marriage was finally broken and he was abandoned by Kardashian.

Then he gave up on himself even more, took drugs, whoring, and gambled, until he became brain-dead and lived on a ventilator.

The big world of feasting and debauchery is often not a good thing for the blacks who are getting rich in the NBA, and it will make them fall into the abyss.

Odom, in fact, is a nice person, popular, and has a good relationship with his teammates.

But in the end, it got to this point, that is, the self-control ability is poor, and I lost my mind.

"Tang Shuai has announced that Odom will be suspended for the next game. When he is satisfied, Odom will be allowed to play again."

Divac said.

Ye Heping nodded.

Most NBA coaches don't care about players' private lives, but only if they don't affect the team.

And Odom's private life has seriously affected the state of the Lakers. An old-school coach like Tang Shuai must not see it.

As a champion coach and with Kobe's support, it is not surprising that Tang Shuai suspended Odom.

But that's okay, if these can make Odom wake up and return to a normal life, maybe it can save his marriage and even his life.

As for the Lakers, they will naturally benefit.

After all, Odom is a "left-handed magician", the youngest triple-double record holder before James, and his strength is still very strong.

In addition, the day before the trip to Cleveland, the news of Ye Heping's signing finally appeared on the official website of the Lakers, which can be regarded as an official announcement.

Vujacic got the news very unhappy.

But it was Green who was most upset, which meant he was out of a job.

Green found the general manager Kupchak and questioned why he should keep Ye Heping instead of him.

Kupchak would ignore him and let the security take him away.

But unexpectedly, this Green contacted a small media and exposed the incident on the Internet.

"The Lakers abandoned the point guard with 5 points and 2 assists, and chose a small forward with 0 points and 3 rebounds! "

In order to gain attention, this media deliberately distorted the facts and took them out of context.

Ye Heping's efforts on the defensive end were not mentioned at all, and only the data negated Ye Heping's role, thereby questioning the decision-making ability of the Lakers management.

They also gave Ye Heping a nickname: Mr. Duck Egg, which means that Ye Heping has not scored 1 point so far.

In the end, the media even exposed the dispute between Kobe and Odom from Green's point of view, thinking that the Lakers locker room was at odds and full of conflicts.

This caused some Lakers fans who did not understand the situation to misunderstand and raised questions one after another.

"Kupchak is really blind. Let go of O'Neal, and choose an outside line with no scoring ability, Mr. Duck!"

"Kobe is alone. There is no room for O'Neal or Odom."

"Who is this Ye Heping? He dares to sign such data. Could it be that he is a relative of Kupchak? But isn't he Asian?"

"Kupchak: From the moment I sent O'Neal away, I went crazy."

"Kobe: The Los Angeles Lakers changed their name to the Los Angeles Kobes."

For a while, the Lakers were on the cusp.

Kupchak is a veteran with rich experience and strong public relations ability, and he is also outraged at this moment.

In a preseason game, something like this happened.

"Damn Green! Damned bastard!"

Kupchak almost roared, and it could be heard throughout Staples Center.

Ye Heping, who was training with Kobe, nodded and said approvingly, "As expected, people named Green are so annoying."

Kobe smiled, thinking that Ye Heping had some grudges against the man named Green.

"Ye, you just need to concentrate on training. No matter what the doubt is, as long as you are strong enough, you can crush it!"

Kobe said.

In this incident, Kobe, Kupchak, and Ye Heping were all affected, and it can be said that they were sitting in the same boat.

Kupchak was furious, but Kobe didn't care.

Ye Heping also had a calm expression, but he was very upset in his heart.

Mr. Duck Egg, this nickname is really ugly!
This is my first nickname in the NBA, which is intolerable.
