Kwame Brown's Freshman

Chapter 85 Fly to Memphis

Seeing Kwame swallowing her saliva, Sharapova secretly smiled, you will definitely be captured by Miss Ben, and Miss Ben's prey has not escaped yet, but the appearance just now was really interesting.

Russia is more open than the United States in terms of love. Sharapova kept hinting at Kwame with various gestures in her speech. Kwame almost lost control several times in the chat with Sharapova. Every time I want to pull the other party to find a room.But in the end, he thought of the woman he loved deeply, so he held back.

From the conversation, Kwame learned that she signed a contract with Samsung successfully this time, and came here to celebrate with her agent team.

Kwame himself also received a lot of advertising endorsement contracts, but Pekarin pushed them all, saying that he would wait until the end of the season to negotiate. With Kwame's current performance, he will definitely be able to enter the best team after the end of the season. Coupled with his playing style and being in an environment like Los Angeles, he doesn't worry about endorsements at all.After the end of the season, there will be more bargaining chips to ask for a bigger contract.

"Okay, I'm going to chat with my companions first, and they will make fun of me later." Sharapova didn't want to give Kwame an overindulgent feeling, if it feels a bit cheap to keep posting backwards, so tease me before letting go It might be better to open.

Obviously, Sharapova's move is good, and Kwame is really reluctant to leave the other party.Until I got back to the private room, I still regretted how I let the other party go so easily just now.

Kwame wandered around but found no one he was familiar with, so he said hello and left.

When I got home, I called Hillary, but the signal was still busy.

Forget it, let's rest. It's almost dawn, and we have to fly to Memphis in the afternoon. The next day's opponent is still difficult to deal with.This era of power forwards is indeed a challenge every day.

The Memphis Grizzlies, formerly known as the Vancouver Grizzlies, but the continuous poor record made the Vancouverites unbearable. This first team established outside the United States moved back to the United States and settled in Memphis, Tennessee.

Last year, under the leadership of Spanish power forward Pau Gasol, the team won 50 games in the regular season and entered the playoffs.This year Gasol began to mature, leading the team to win more than the first two years of her career.He has also successfully entered the circle of top power forwards.But because almost all powerful power forwards are in the West, he sadly missed consecutive All-Stars.

The best rookie in the same class as Kwame has a mild temper and is one of Kwame's better impression opponents.Gasol was injured in the first half of this year, and the Grizzlies were almost at the bottom of the Western Conference. Fortunately, he returned strongly in the second half of December, and now the team is back in the playoffs.

Another good player on the Grizzlies is Sean Battier. Although his rookie season is his peak in terms of statistics, there are almost no outside lines in the league that can match him in terms of series defense, and there are very few teams. His defense relies on an outside line as the core, and the last one was Scottie Pippen.

The star of this team is undoubtedly White Chocolate Jason Williams, but he seems to have been smoothed by coach Hubie Brown, and now he has slowly become an ordinary role player, 10 points The data of 7 assists really does not show the white magician who was once the king.Kwame only needs to worry about him rushing into the inside and then hitting the ground with his crotch to pass the ball from time to time.

They have Mike Miller as a shooting guard who has scored 15 points so far this season, but Kidd will take good care of him.Kwame's only memory of this guy is that he was the best rookie in the pre-draft class of Kwame, and there is no other memory.

The center position is Lorenzen Wright of the 96 golden generation, a strong blue-collar, and a good helper to Gasol. Since Gasol came here, Wright has been a member of this team.His peak period was the 01-02 season, when he overwhelmed Divac to be selected to the third team of the year.He was the first Grizzlies player to enter the All-NBA team.

It is said that the inside price is inflated now, it is not as good as before, I will go!Kwame looked at the scouting report and the N megabytes of video on the computer. Is this the legendary doomsday era of insiders?How do you feel that every team has something like twin towers?
Although these "twin towers" may not be as threatening as O'Neill, there is no one in history who is more threatening than O'Neill, right?What is said about the end of the center and O'Neal's rampant, it's just because O'Neal is too strong!
Kwame would use ice massage every night after "intimate contact" with those muscular men to relieve fatigue. Fortunately, his opponent tonight is a gentle Spaniard who doesn't need to be so violent.

"It's disgusting to fly so far again. The owner of the Grizzlies has a problem. Why did he build the team in Memphis, which is so cold?" Flying too much will make you irritable, but this is work and it is necessary .

Kobe was approved to train with the team, but he was still unable to play, which made Kwame very disappointed. It would be great if there was someone on the court who could attract double-teams at any time, and he would not have to play so hard.After all, Finley and Miller need to reserve energy for the playoffs.

Tonight we will face one of the strongest opponents in our career, Sean Battier's team, Kobe's old rules, sitting in the last row watching the video, Bass knows Kobe's habit, and specially sits in the last space of the bag Made a miniature screening room for Kobe, and Bass spent a lot of money for this team, chartering the entire first-class cabin of an airplane, and the flight route was specially arranged for the Lakers' schedule.But it is also because of a coach like him that the Lakers' financial resources are also rolling in.

Kobe is not lonely this time, and Kidd, a tactician, studies game tactics with him.

Rudy is getting more and more leisurely now, looking leisurely and leisurely.With Kidd, you just need to talk about what tactics to play tonight, and it will be OK. This guy on the court will make adjustments.It's even better now that Kobe is here. Before the Lakers played, Kobe was in command. Even in the era of Phil Jackson's triangle offense, how often did you see them playing triangle offense?It's not that Kobe and O'Neal are playing there.

The happiest thing for a coach is to have a bunch of smart players who can make adjustments according to the game situation on the spot.This saves the coaches a lot of trouble.There is no doubt that Rudy is enjoying such a life now.

The old gamblers Finley, Miller, Divac, and Odo didn't miss this little time on the plane, playing blackjack.

Vujacic, Banner Rees, and Ariza, a group of first-years, discussed how to cooperate in the game together, and bombarded them. People with good physical strength naturally have more chances to play, and they also want to improve their statistics.

Kwame was bored. I had watched the video for a long time, and I should relax, but I didn't know how to relax.

So I ran to find Kobe and Kidd to play stud, the kind that costs $100.

"Are you sure you want to play with me?" Kobe looked at Kwame in surprise, is this kid stupid?
Kidd also looked at Kwame with a strange expression, making Kwame bewildered.

"It's just to pass the time, why are you looking at me like this?" Kwame didn't understand.

"Okay, I'll give you what you want. Jason. Come together?" Kobe stretched, tired after watching the video for so long, so he relaxed.

an hour later...

"Kobe, are you cheating!! To be honest, I won't look down on you!" Kwame felt so recited!How is it possible!Lost 22 games in a row.This guy must be cheating!It's always been this guy's deal!

Kobe’s last hand this time bet $5, and he pounced on Kwame, who had pressed $4 four times in a row. A pair of kings was not worth betting another $1. J, 5, 10, look at Kobe's confident look, A, Q, J, 9. The cards on the card must be big, either A or a straight.

Kobe raised his eyebrows, looking so proud, Kobe turned over the card, and it turned out to be a 7!

I go!My 4 yuan!Kwame collapsed, "Could it be that your previous cards were all low cards?" asked a little in disbelief.

"Most of the time, who told you to be so stupid, just two casual glances fooled you." Kobe looked at Kwame like an idiot.

"Playing stud with Kobe? Haven't you watched the World Poker Tournament? Kobe participated in the world tour with Bass and Jordan." Kidd patted Kwame on the shoulder to comfort the idiot.

"I rarely play this game. Gambling is not allowed in my family." Kwame was a little annoyed. He lost 10 yuan in just one hour. It was all money!

"I think you are really not suitable for the gambling table, you should play hard! If you are really interested, I will take you to Las Vegas after you win the championship." Kobe put away the money and comforted Kwame in an alternative way .

"Forget it, I'm not interested." Las Vegas?Brother, my money is not for throwing away!
As if knowing what Kwame was thinking, Kobe said to Kwame contemptuously: "If you win the championship, I will pay for the money!"

This sentence hit Kwame's mind, "Boss, everything depends on you!" Kwame immediately agreed without saying a word.

Seeing Kwame's appearance, Kidd and Kobe immediately moved away from this guy, it's too embarrassing to stand together!
