Kwame Brown's Freshman

Chapter 128 Came to Sacramento

"This is a good idea, but will he cooperate? No one would be happy to be used as a bargaining chip!" It's not like Rudy didn't think about it, but he was worried that Mim lost his temper and couldn't play well, not only Doesn't improve trade value and ruins team chemistry.

"No, I don't think so. When I was in the Wizards, they wanted to trade me all day long, so I just worked harder every game to make myself more valuable, and then I would be more valuable when I went to the new team. Good opportunity for development. I think Mim will know this, let me tell him.” Kwame has a deep understanding of this, as long as Mim is not stupid, he will work hard to play well.

Sure enough, when Kwame told Mihm to let Mihm try his best to help the team win the championship, so that after being traded, he could also strive to make the next job more generous.

"Kwame, I really don't know whether to thank you for saying these things to me today or hate you. You cost me the starting spot, but making me the center of the Lakers is also a kind of pressure for me. The object of ridicule by others. Not everyone can take the position of the center of the Lakers, and I have this self-knowledge.” Mim smiled self-deprecatingly, “I haven’t given you a good face since you came here, but now you This is for my sake. Don’t say anything, I will treat the game with [-]% passion during your offseason! For the big contract!” Mim yelled and made a promise to Kwame for the big contract. , a man's promise.

"Yes, for the big contract!" Kwame and Mim also yelled for the big contract.

"Mitch, it seems that all of you who play for the Lakers have such talent!" Rudy, who was watching the conversation between the two on the second floor, said to Kupchak beside him.

"Oh, what talent?" Kupchak wondered what talent Rudy was talking about.

"Look, Jerry West tricked you to the Lakers, you helped them win the '85 championship, and then Jerry tricked the Hornets, traded Divac for Kobe, and then tricked O'Neal from Orlando Come here. You won three consecutive championships. And Mickey, you fooled Malone and Payton into the Big Four last year. Although you failed to compete for the championship, this does not affect your title of fooling the gods. You let other teams be at the base The sending of our team by Germany can completely offset the stain of the failure of the Big Four to win the championship. Kobe and Kwame have fooled Finley and Miller to join this time, and then Kwame said a few words this time so that the lifeless and unwilling to play Mihm is full of passion to replace Kwame's absence, these things are enough to prove that our team not only has the tradition of being a center, but also has the tradition of fooling people." Rudy teased Kupchak, saying everything logically.

Mickey gave Rudy a blank look, but it really made sense when he thought about it carefully.

Not far from Los Angeles, there is a small city with a population of less than 50, but such a city has the Lakers' biggest opponent from this century to the present, the Sacramento Kings.Such a population of less than 50 cannot attract stars at all, and even the boss wants to change cities to rebuild the team.But such a team undergoes a qualitative change instantly after getting a coach and a second-tier star with less than [-]% field goal percentage, no outside shots, and a little over [-]% free throw percentage. League top.The spark generated by such a collision has not disappeared even if the star has left, and the Kings are still one of the most entertaining teams in the league.

The Lakers have lost to the Kings twice in a row this season, and this time the Lakers are determined to win this game away from home.The flight from Los Angeles to Sacramento is only more than ten minutes away, so the team did not leave for Sacramento until the morning of the 27th when they arranged their tactics.

Odom thought he could return to the starting lineup, but when he heard that the coach asked Mihm to play the starting center, Humphries stopped the arrangement after playing the starting lineup.

"Rudy, me, I should also go back to the starting lineup. Our starting lineup has been greatly weakened without Kwame. I should add it." Odom hooked Rudy's shoulder and winked. .

"Here, Lamar, you think, since our starting lineup is weakened, let's get back from our bench, Michael plus you plus Reggie's bench lineup is the best bench lineup in the league. Be a bench Leader! We depend on you!" Rudy patted Odom on the shoulder and said with admiration.

"Damn! If you want me to play as a substitute, I will play as a substitute! There are so many nonsense." This is what Odom said in his heart, but Rudy has said that they form the best bench lineup in the league, and there is such a great reason. , Odom had no choice but to agree.

"Kill the Lakers" Sacramento Daily headline wrote this headline impressively. The Kings fans have every reason to believe that they can kill the Lakers this year, especially after the news of Kwame's injury came out, the Kings fans were extremely excited.Get rid of the Lakers!This is the inner thought of all Sacramento people. What happened in 02 is still playing in their hearts repeatedly. In their view, the current disintegration of the King is caused by the Lakers. The Lakers kicked the peak King off the top of the mountain and smashed it to pieces. Now they are going to do the same, and will form the Big Four again and add an All-Star and a quasi-All-Star Lakers kicking down from the top of the mountain!

In the playoffs, the fans in Sacramento may be the craziest in California. They are so crazy that they don't look like a California city at all. The Lakers are all booing Kings fans when they leave the airport.And now, Sacramento people have now as the playoffs have begun.

The entire Lakers team took the bus to the Aroc Arena. Along the way, everyone who saw the word LA on the Lakers bus raised their middle fingers without exception. Even retired old men and grandmothers raised the words beatLA or beatKOBE. The sign raised the middle finger at the bus.

"What a crazy guy, we didn't suffer this kind of treatment when we went to Detroit!" Kwame looked at these people outside the car in surprise. Although the fans were crazy when they came here last time, they haven't been to this level yet!He still doesn't understand how much Kings fans hate the Lakers, especially in this postseason moment.

Kwame, who was injured, was unwilling to come to Sacramento and wanted to stay in Los Angeles for treatment, but that dead old man Stern stipulated that as long as he was not injured enough to go to the scene, he must go. Kwame felt the Sacramento people's hatred for the Lakers. .

"But Kwame, you are really popular! There are also your fans here, and even Kobe's photo is full of curses." Among the signs that beat the Lakers and Kobe, there are sparse "Kwame, we welcome You" sign made Lamar joke about Kwame again.
