Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 537 [Zen Master’s Autobiography, I Have No Confidence]

? Guo Xu immediately called Robert Smith and recommended Amber Heard to join the new film. Robert agreed. There was a role that required a young and beautiful girl to play.

After leaving Amber's phone number, Guo Xu politely invited her out of the private room and asked her to go back to Los Angeles and wait for the announcement. The movie would be shot during the summer vacation in Los Angeles.

Amber returned to the hotel in a daze, and did not receive a call or text message from Guo Xu until the evening, confirming that Guo Xu had no hidden rules about his thoughts. Guo Xu asked her that question in front of people just to make a bunch of old gangsters boo him. If she expressed her willingness to be infiltrated on that occasion, she would be driven away 100% of the time. Who dares to deal with such a person?

For Guo Xu, a big shot in Sanqi, it is a trivial matter to give Amber a hand, and there is no need for any reward at all.

Even if he wants to infiltrate someone, he will only stay in the time loop. In reality, he attaches great importance to image. What's more, he knows that Amber is not a fuel-efficient lamp? In addition to divorce in her previous life, she also had a lot of negative news.

Of course, there is no harm in Guo Xu looking for her to make a movie. In the future, when she becomes famous, it will be a big gimmick. In the future, people will find that there are big-name actors in each of Megan's movies, how interesting it is.

Guo Xu believes that Amber will definitely become famous. In her previous life, she was able to get into blockbusters on her own. With the resources, she will definitely become famous faster.

The stars' activities on Friday were relatively relaxed, mainly attending media meetings. This year's focus is on the Big Three of the Lakers.

O'Neal stole the show, answering questions with hilarious and explosive remarks.

As soon as the reporter came up, he asked O'Neal if he would shake hands with Kobe Bryant before the game. O'Neal's answer was: I won't sit at home and think about it all day.

O'Neal was even more unkind to Lakers general manager Kupchak. When a reporter asked, he pretended that he had never heard of the name. Someone next to him reminded him that Kupchak was the general manager of the Lakers. O'Neal then pretended to be enlightened and said: Is that the idiot who didn't renew Jason's contract? I thought Managers are better than him.”

A reporter asked: What do you think of the book The Final Season? Is Phil Jackson's description of you, Jason and Kobe true?

Zen Master Phil Jackson published his autobiography The Final Season this year, which was very popular and contained many inside stories about the Lakers' 2000-04 season. Jackson used a diary to describe Guo Xu, O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant in his eyes, and their relationship.

I read that book. O'Neal said with a smile: Phil knows us very well and he won't write randomly. I think the only thing that is not true enough is that he did not predict the records of the three teams this season.

The reporter asked: So Kobe is really unsociable?

Otherwise? Could it be that he has no friends because everyone is jealous of his pointed face? Our faces are all too round?

That autobiography greatly damaged Kobe's reputation and exposed him to more controversy and criticism.

Jackson praised Guo Xu and O'Neal, especially Guo Xu, who took up a lot of space, what he said on the team, and some small details.

Jackson said: Jason is the most powerful player I have ever seen. He doesn't look like a young man at all. It's very pleasant to get along with him. Everything becomes very easy with him. He knows what is the right thing to do and Happy to do it.”

Kobe is different. He likes to elevate himself above the interests of the team, but he also knows that sometimes he has to sacrifice a little bit of himself. He knows that he is fighting against the basic laws of basketball. He knows... I have to believe that the fact is that he Knows all that. He wants to finish with great records and great numbers, and then when it comes time to compete for a championship, he decides to play some reasonable basketball.

Jackson harshly criticized Kobe, calling him the most uncoachable player.

To put it bluntly, Kobe is a person who knows how to play basketball correctly, and he can play extremely smart and efficient, but many times, as people know, he has to be willful and show his selfishness.

Jackson also mentioned. Jason Guo often helped Kobe on the team, and also gave him a lot of advice on his wedding off the court. He once successfully improved the relationship between him and his teammates. But as soon as Jason left the Lakers, Kobe cut off contact with him. , even treating him as an enemy, because Kobe wanted to prove that he was better.

The book points out in many places how Kobe had falling out with his teammates again and again. He publicly criticized his teammates in many interviews, but if his teammates said something bad about him, he would go crazy.

For example, just before the playoffs began, a quote from an anonymous player appeared in the newspaper criticizing Kobe's performance on the court. He held the newspaper in the locker room and yelled at everyone one by one: Now, I need to know who that son of a bitch is!

No one said anything, and finally Karl Malone couldn't stand it anymore. Kobe, obviously no one will admit it, just forget it.

Kobe immediately had a big fight with Malone, suspecting Malone, and finally Jackson had to stop him.

Jackson made one thing clear in the book: Kobe made the Lakers locker room a mess, and it was too normal for them to be swept.

At the end of the book, Jackson also expressed his depression.

This is a day I will never forget, I lost my job. It honestly doesn't surprise me, but anything that gets to this stage is bad.

I couldn't help but think back to the conversation I had with Kobe back in February, when I was still trying to save our relationship and our team's season. The atmosphere was very tense at that time, but Kobe and I finally got through these four difficult months. I spoke to him again today and the tension was gone and we both knew I would never be his coach again.

Kupchak, Kobe and I bumped heads. I told Kobe how grateful I was that he was able to put our conflict aside and focus on this season, and Kupchak wasted no time in praising him. Then he said he decided to become a free agent and everyone fell silent.

I finally asked him what I'd always wanted to ask him. Does my presence or absence here influence your decision?

He said he didn't think I should think about him when I was thinking about my own future.

I'm going to retire, I said.

He raised his eyebrows. For the first time in this conversation I noticed his emotions. He must be very happy.

Really? he asked.

I nodded. Did Shaq's departure or stay have any impact on your decision?

There's no doubt that I'm not going to continue to be a supporting actor, he said.

His point of view is certainly not surprising at all, but hearing it from his own mouth still surprised me. I told Kobe I wanted him to have fun in basketball and in life, and that was the end of our conversation.

I can understand why the Lakers view Kobe as their most valuable asset. His ability to sometimes control a game and make incredible plays is an unparalleled talent. But Kobe was just an employee of the team and he needed guidance. Kobe forgot about being part of a team and that sometimes he needed to make a little sacrifice and compromise.

I don't know if he can win a championship in the future. When Jason Guo exists in this league, there is no doubt that Jason is a better player than him.

This book made Kobe very unhappy, but he couldn't refute it because these things really happened.

Guo Xu laughed when commenting on this book: It's so flattering. I think Phil's writing is a bit exaggerated, especially the last paragraph.

The reporter asked: Don't you have the confidence to become the best player?

No, I am not confident that I can win all the championships. Others can compete.
