Super Legendary Superstar

Chapter 179 What it’s like to be a leader

November 6, Los Angeles Lakers training ground.

It has been four days since the start of the new season. The Lakers have also played two games. The record is one win and one loss. They won the weak team and lost the strong team. Their performance is considered normal. Tomorrow the Lakers will continue to face the Atlanta Hawks at home. , for the third game.

Sun Zhuo will return to play in the game between the Lakers and the Hawks.

Kobe did not appear in today's training hall. Rudy Tomjanovich said with a tired look: "Kobe is sick. It's really unfortunate. He will miss tomorrow's game against the Hawks. Sun, tomorrow's game will not be played." rely on you."

In fact, Sun Zhuo knew that Kobe missed tomorrow's game on purpose. Kobe just wanted everyone to see the difference between his team and Sun Zhuo's team.

Sun Zhuo also knew Kobe's intention. He actually didn't want to compete with Kobe because in the past season, the Lakers were always in such conflicts within the team, which was very detrimental to the health of the team. However, since Kobe decided to miss Sun Zhuo in the new season In the first game, Sun Zhuo had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Compared with last season, Sun Zhuo has undoubtedly grown up, especially in the Olympics when he discovered that he can use the European step to cause fouls. He has never used it in the NBA. Tomorrow will be his debut. .

"Sun, how far are you and Jessica Alba going? There seems to be news that Jessica is pregnant, is it true?" Caron Butler gossiped about Sun Zhuo and Jessica.

Sun Zhuo said with a smile: "I didn't expect the American media to talk such nonsense. This is completely untrue."

"Sun, when will you collaborate with Dark Fortress to release a new single next time? Can you let me participate? I'm also very good at rapping." Lamar Odom also smiled and walked up to talk to Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo laughed and said: "Okay, man, I know your rap skills. I highly doubt you can keep up with the speed of our songs."

"Hahaha." Odom leaned back and laughed.

Including Atkins and Brian Cook, these Lakers players also took the initiative to say hello to Sun Zhuo, which made Sun Zhuo realize a problem.

"It seems like my status with the Lakers has changed."

This is a real feeling. Last season, the team had O'Neal, Kobe, Karl Malone, Gary Payton... there were too many big-name stars with qualifications. Sun Zhuo had just entered the NBA and was in the team. There is no status or voice at all.

But now the Lakers have completely changed. These experienced old players are gone, and Kobe is not here today. Although Odom and Caron Butler have been in the NBA longer than Sun Zhuo, they are new to the Lakers. , Sun Zhuo is older than them, and he is the focus of the Lakers' training. He should be respected higher than them.

"If you put it this way, when Kobe is away, I will be the boss of the Lakers!"

Sun Zhuo suddenly felt very excited. Although becoming the boss of the team had always been his goal, he had never really felt this way until today.

Sun Zhuo feels that it feels great to be respected in the team. He was the younger brother for a year last year. Today, while Kobe is away, he has to enjoy the fun of being the boss!

To put it in a tacky way, he just makes good use of his status as the boss to show off.

But in front of whom are you pretending?

Lamar Odom, who started every game for the Heat last season, averaged 18+10 per game, and his statistics are even better than Sun Zhuo. He can't afford to offend him, and he can't pretend to be either.

Caron Butler, who passed directly, met Arenas and was about to have a shootout, he was such a calm and composed tough guy, he couldn't afford to offend...

Generally speaking, according to NBA tradition, team bosses usually show their majesty to rookies.

For example, when Shaquille O'Neal came to the Lakers, he asked Fisher and Kobe to buy him water. Fisher did it obediently, but Kobe didn't. Instead, he went directly to the Lakers general manager's office to complain. At that time, O'Neal knew that Kobe was different.

It was the same last year when Sun Zhuo and Payton first came to the Lakers. O'Neal also used the traditional NBA method to dominate the two.

James couldn't escape the bad luck of being a rookie. Although he wanted to be the boss as soon as he was elected to the Cavaliers, Ricky Davis didn't know that. As soon as he came up, James also had to do the work of serving tea and water. James went straight back to you. Are you sick?

"Well, I have to show myself as a leader in front of the newcomers. This season, I'm going to try to be a leader..."

Sun Zhuo played for a while and sat down tiredly. Then he looked at the Lakers' "new rookie" Sasha Vujacic and ordered: "Sasha, bring me a bottle of water."

Being condescending and bossy, hahaha, it’s quite enjoyable!

But who knows, Sasha pretended not to hear and continued to practice shooting on the court.

At this time, the tough guy Caron Butler was still better at being a good person. Knowing that the other boss of the new team was going to show off, he immediately called Vujacic, and Vujacic turned back to look at Sun Zhuo.

"Oh, okay." After Vujacic learned about Sun Zhuo's request, he did not dare to refuse. After all, dealing with people is something he is better at than basketball. However, Vujacic did not do this immediately, but made two more shots. Just came here.

This attitude is much worse than when he was in the UK. In London, Vujacic arrived there in advance, ordered food for Sun Zhuo and prepared an umbrella. Could it be that he is now determined to follow Kobe?

"Kobe said that the Lakers are his team alone. Sun Zhuo shouldn't be able to compete with Kobe in the past two years, right?" Vujacic thought to himself. He has a closer relationship with Kobe now, so naturally he won't take Sun Zhuo too seriously. But Sun Zhuo seemed to have a lot of weight in the Bass family, so he didn't dare to take it seriously.

Vujacic handed the water to Sun Zhuo and said, "You didn't come to the last game against the Spurs. Popovich seemed to have mentioned you after the game."

"Oh, really? What did he say?" Sun Zhuo took the water. Popovich mentioned him, and it was definitely not good.

Odom replied: "Popovich said he was too sad not to meet you in the last game. He has prepared a hundred countermeasures against you and is just waiting for you to compete."

"Uh..." Sun Zhuo was a little embarrassed. The old guy Popovich really held a grudge. It was right to miss the game, but why did Vujacic bring this up at this time? Wouldn't it embarrass the boss Sun Zhuo? !

Sun Zhuo took a sip of water, then immediately stood up, called Vujacic again, and said: "Sasha, come and accompany me one-on-one."

"One-on-one?" Vujacic was stunned. When Kobe saw Vujacic, he asked to play one-on-one with him, and then beat Vujacic to pieces. Vujacic couldn't even score a goal. Now Sun Zhuo also asked to play with him. one on one...

Since if you want to be a leader, you must show the ability to make your teammates surrender. If Sun Zhuo wants to become the second leader of the Lakers besides Kobe, he must show off like he did today. You can't get it in normal times. If you show dignity, no one on the court will respect you.

Kobe beat Vujacic, Sun Zhuo will beat him too!
