Ke Yan stated that Brian Shaw would accept a small punishment in a manly manner. At this point, the second assistant coach of the Lakers finally dared to appear in the team's training hall.Entrusted by Ke Yan, Anderson brought Brian Shaw's final punishment from the cake shop, which was a basketball-shaped cake, the size of a basketball.

After the training session, amidst the booing of the players and the coaching staff, Brian Xiao cheerfully stood in the center of the crowd, accepting the punishment of his blind self-confidence.

"Guys, you all know that I have a big stomach, and this cake is nothing to me..." Without even using a fork, Brian Shaw yelled again and again, tearing it up The next piece was stuffed into his mouth, and then the smile on his face gradually froze.

He thought that Ke Yan's trick was just to test his stomach, but in fact, several layers of special mustard were brushed inside the cake, and his tongue turned green after eating it.

"OK, it's delicious~" After all, he is an athlete, and his tolerance for sensory pain is stronger than that of ordinary people. Of course, after eating, the physiological stimulation of the lacrimal glands cannot be controlled by subjective consciousness. Brian Shaw's old face The face was soon covered with two lines of clear tears, and the nose began to twitch involuntarily.

"WOW! Why are you crying? Could it be that you were moved?" Ke Yan, the instigator, stepped forward and teased, "Brian, don't thank me too much~"

"I..." With a crying voice, Brian Xiao said with a high emotional intelligence, "I cry for the dream team~"

"Hahaha~~~"

Amid the uproar, everyone also stepped forward to help Brian Shaw share the piece of mustard cake, and then screams of "painful" were heard endlessly.

"My gosh, what the hell is this! It's disgusting!"

"Brian, only you can eat these things!"

"If it were me, I would rather eat basketball than eat this stuff again!"

"Kimi, you are so vicious, vomit~"

It is of course the best result to turn a conflict caused by a modest bet between the two assistant coaches of the coaching staff into an opportunity to promote the warming up of the relationship within the Lakers team.However, is this intentional by Ke Yan, or is it a matter of course after unintentional planting?No one will know.

All in all, the result is good, and for the Lakers, that's enough!

. . . . . . . . . .

Media day, also known as media meeting day, is a time when players and coaches force the media to take photos for interviews.

Team staff should also be present, let the media film the team's training, and answer questions if reporters ask questions. These are the league's rigid regulations, in order to establish a closer relationship with the media.

After Ke Yan came to the arena, he greeted the players.

Among them, Chris Anderson and Caron Butler are relatively close to him, because Ke Yan gave them positive suggestions in pre-season training, which to a certain extent expressed the importance that the coaching staff attaches to them. Therefore, the relationship Get along well.

Odom, who returned from Athens, also appeared on today's media meeting day. This is the first time Ke Yan met him.Being appointed by the media as the new second head of the Lakers, Odom smiled flatteringly.Miami is indeed very good, with sunshine, beaches, beauties, and a very convenient life, but there is still a gap compared to Los Angeles.Besides, wouldn't it be more face-saving to play Kobe than to be Wade's second child?

The local media in Los Angeles is also very optimistic that Odom, who has comprehensive skills, can become the "Pippen" next to Kobe, giving him a considerable amount of face, and giving him a very high evaluation in the newspaper pages.

And Butler, who came to the Lakers from the Heat together, has relatively less attention.Although he was also a fan of the Bulls back then, in terms of position, he is more suitable to play the role of Pippen, but who makes Odom's "all-around" attribute more suitable for Pippen.

Ke Yan also noticed Butler's loneliness. After taking pictures, he walked over and hugged Butler's shoulder: "Are you envious of Lamar?"

"I think I should be more suitable to appear at the small forward position, and Lamar is more comfortable playing power forward." Butler expressed his thoughts.

Last season, it was the same with the Heat. The two of them cooperated with Wade and helped the Heat reach the Eastern Conference semifinals. With Kobe, who has more comprehensive skills, Butler believes that the team has a lot to do.

"I think so too. I also think I should sit next to Rudy and Frank." Keyan looked at Butler and said.

"Pfft~" Looking back at the "thin" Ke Yan, Butler couldn't help laughing, "Maybe, I think you have a chance~"

"The position of a small forward doesn't need to be so high. Similarly, a coach doesn't need to be as strong as Frank, right?" Ke Yan used himself as an example to remind Butler that many things are not static. It's not like he doesn't have a chance.

After all, Odom, who is now favored by the media, is not an obstacle to Butler's main force. He can swing to the position of power forward. He is the one who is more likely to be squeezed out.

Soon, some reporters also noticed the Chinese assistant coach next to Butler.

Stephen Smith, a sports reporter for the "Philadelphia Inquirer", as a staff member in the media industry, he has some impressions of the Chinese teaching assistants around Tomjanovich. After all, during the Rockets period, the name Kimi often appeared in Next to "Yao", I just didn't expect that Tomjanovich would also poach this former assistant from his old club when he came to the Lakers.

In the summer, there were rumors that the Lakers were very interested in Yao Ming and hoped to use O'Neal to complete a deal with the Rockets to get the No. 02 pick in [-], including Tomjanovich, who was invited by the Lakers to attract Yao Ming in the future. The idea of ​​joining.Now with the addition of Kimi, it seems that they are working hard in this direction.

After a little thought, Smith walked up to Keyan and offered an interview request.

"Welcome to Los Angeles, Kimi, as the team's assistant coach, what do you think of the team's new season?" Smith asked.

"The team has undergone a lot of changes in the off-season. The team has completed the rotation of core players. We have built the team's lineup around Kobe Bryant. The team has added players like Caron Butler and Chris Anderson. , They can provide great help to our lineup, and we can accomplish a lot of things." Ke Yan is very particular about the scale of the reply, not only to highlight his "forward-looking", but also to show the team's Ambitious, after all, neither the current Lakers executives nor the players have realized the troubles the team may encounter.

"Kobe's court dispute lasted until September. This incident has greatly disturbed him. Will it further affect the team's performance in the new season?"

The current media is full of malice towards Kobe, and can ask any questions, even on the team's media open day, they can question him. Right now, the whole team must endorse him.

"Personally, I have never doubted Kobe's focus on basketball. He is a player born for basketball. After the start of the season, everyone will recognize this." Ke Yan is also very cunning. He kept praising Kobe for basketball. Focus on nothing else.

What about basketball IQ, shot selection, never mention it.

When talking about other players, Ke Yan also made his own analysis. On the surface, it was all about scenes, but in fact there was room for it. The advantages were exaggerated, and the weaknesses were also left there. When I found this interview, I would definitely be able to exclaim: "Scientists are amazing, so they saw XX's problem early. If the Lakers promoted him early, how could it be..."
