Big Zhi and Kobe's Lakers Dynasty

Chapter 160 Personal Development
In the NBA's workplace culture, rookies are often synonymous with disadvantaged groups.

It is really rare for someone like Wang Dazhi to thrive in this world of the jungle before the first half of the season.

Wang Dazhi: "The main reason is that the two of us are very destined, my first regular game is to play against you!

Although it was my first official appearance, I still think that the Suns really suck!

We play the Suns like the Jazz play us! "

In fact, the reason why Wang Dazhi is looking forward to the arrival of Robert Horry is mostly because he thinks that the arrival of this person will increase the chances of winning the Lakers and Jazz.

Robert Horry: "The Jazz may not be as scary as you think, although they look pretty strong right now.

There are a lot of reasons why the Lakers have nothing to fight back in their current situation..."

Robert Horry made a long speech on the advantages and disadvantages of the Lakers and Jazz. Robert Horry also made some special insights on how the Lakers should choose between offense and defense.

Afterwards, it also proved that the key player in the finals had a unique understanding of the basketball game. It was no accident that Robert Horry won seven championships with three teams.

Wang Dazhi believes that it is not a championship-level team that made Robert Horry, but that the arrival of Robert Horry raised the team's upper limit and transformed a strong team into a dynasty team.

After Wang Dazhi and Robert Horry finished their meal, he received a call from Larry Drew as soon as he left the restaurant.

Larry Drew: "Come to the training hall later, Coach Delmar Harris has something to ask you."

Larry Drew's message was concise and to the point. Robert Horry bid farewell to Wang Dazhi and returned to the hotel temporarily arranged for him by the team to rest. Robert Horry, who had just arrived, had not yet found a suitable house.

Wang Dazhi drove back to the training hall and came to the office of coach Delmar Harris.

After knocking on the door, Wang Dazhi walked in and sat on the sofa opposite the head desk.

Wang Dazhi: "What can you do with me, Mr. Coach?"

As soon as he left the restaurant, he received a call from Larry Drew. Wang Dazhi felt that this was really a coincidence.

Delmar Harris: "Did you ask Robert to have dinner together at noon?"

Coach Delmar Harris with silver hair said in a soft voice, he looked like a kind uncle.

Wang Dazhi: "Yes, the newcomer has just arrived in Los Angeles, and if he is unfamiliar with the place, I will treat him to a light meal as a landlord!"

It seems that the team management is very concerned about Wang Dazhi's move, mainly because the coaching staff are very worried about Wang Dazhi's mentality change after Robert Horry's arrival.

No one knows what impact the arrival of players at the same position and at the same championship level will have on Wang Dazhi, a rookie.

Wang Dazhi took the initiative to invite Robert Horry to dinner, which no one thought of.

Delmar Harris originally wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Wang Dazhi in a few days, but now it seems that this matter is imminent.

Delmar Harris: "How was your lunch?"

Unable to see what Wang Dazhi meant, Delmar Harris could only ask tentatively.

Wang Dazhi: "The dishes are not bad, and the level of the chef is very stable."

What Wang Dazhi asked was not what he answered.

Delmar Harris: "You are a smart DZ, you don't need to hide anything from me.

As the coach of an NBA team, I take responsibility for a young man with potential like you. "

Delmar Harris just wanted to know if anything unpleasant happened to Wang Dazhi and Robert Horry.

Wang Dazhi: "Actually, this was just an ordinary lunch. Although Robert Horry and I didn't meet much, we are definitely friends.

I hit it off with this guy in Game [-] of the regular season, and we became friends when we met them again.

I know what you're worried about. Robert and I didn't talk about the team's tactics. We just talked about food. "

The reason for answering this way is that Wang Dazhi wanted to test the attitude of the management. He wanted to know what kind of position he was in in the mind of the coaching staff.

Delmar Harris: "Oh, so it is.

It's really not easy to talk about technical and tactical issues between the two of you. Who told you that both of you are power forwards.

Counting Eldon, our team already has three fours, but you must not worry about your future.

The environment in the NBA is really cruel, especially the inside players who can play a full season. There are only four inside forwards in our team, so your team status is still very stable.

In addition, Eddie is still a little short in the third position. You have performed very well in the third position in the last few games, even exceeding the expectations of the entire coaching staff.

I can assure you, you'll get more playing time at the three.

There are only a handful of super-fast small forwards in the league, and you don’t have to worry too much about your defense. With Shaq on the line, the opponent’s coaches like to use some tall and powerful threes to help defend the inside , At this time, it is perfect for you to appear in our small forward position.

Your hard work and progress are seen by the coaching staff and management team. Everyone knows that your flexibility is getting better and better, and your dribbling ability is also at a very high level. You are an excellent person, you have to believe Own.

Hmm. This sentence of mine may be a bit redundant, you should be more confident than most of the people I have brought.

You also know that your swing ability is by no means limited to the third and fourth positions. When you encounter an ordinary blue-collar fifth position, you can perform the work of the center very well.

Having said so much, what I mean is that the arrival of Robert Horry will definitely not affect your personal development. The entire team will do its best to provide you with the most suitable environment for your growth.

We are very happy with everything you have shown in previous games and you will always be in the long-term plan of the team.

The above words I can represent the attitude of the entire Los Angeles Lakers. "

Wang Dazhi was deeply moved by what Delmar Harris said. In fact, this is what Wang Dazhi wanted—respect.

If it weren't for Wang Dazhi's mature mentality, then this deal would probably become an irreparable rift between the players and the team. It is not unusual for a rookie who is in the fast-rising period to suddenly have a strong contender at the championship level. Things that people can deal with with a normal mind.
