Ke Yan expressed his intention to ask Brian Shaw to accept a small punishment in a man's way. 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 took a small punishment for Brian from the cake shop.

Xiao's final punishment was a basketball-shaped cake, the same size as a basketball.

After the training session, amidst the cheers from the players and coaching staff, Brian Shaw happily stood in the center of the crowd and calmly accepted the punishment for his blind confidence.

"Guys, you all know that I have a big stomach, and this cake is nothing to me..." Brian Shaw didn't even use a fork, and started to tear it up while he was talking.

I stuffed the next piece into my mouth, and then the smile on my face gradually stiffened.

He thought that Keyan's trick was just to test his stomach. In fact, the cake was brushed with several layers of special mustard sauce. After entering the cake, his tongue turned green.

"OK, it's delicious~" After all, he is an athlete, and his tolerance for sensory pain is stronger than the average person. Of course, if he continues to eat, the physiological stimulation of the tear glands cannot be controlled by the subjective consciousness. Brian Shaw's old face

Soon there were two lines of clear tears hanging on my face, and my nose began to twitch involuntarily.

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

"I..." With a tearful tone, Brian Shaw said with high emotional intelligence, "I cry for the dream team~"

"Hahahaha~~~"

In the midst of the hilarity, everyone stepped forward to help Brian Shaw share the piece of mustard cake, and then the "painful" screams and curses could be heard endlessly.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this! It's disgusting!"

"Brian, only you can eat these things!"

"If it were me, I would rather eat basketballs and never eat this stuff again!"

"Kimi, you are so vicious, vomit~"

Turning a conflict caused by a small bet between two assistants on the coaching staff into an opportunity to warm up the relationship within the Lakers team is of course the best result. However, this was Ke Yan's intention.

And is it because of this, or is it just a matter of chance? No one knows.

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

Media Day, also called Media Meeting Day, is a mandatory time for players and coaches to allow the media to take photos and interviews.

Team staff must also attend and allow the media to film the team's training. If reporters ask questions, they must also answer questions. These are the league's mandatory rules in order to establish a closer relationship with the media.

After Ke Yan arrived at the arena, he greeted the players.

Among them, those who have a closer relationship with him are Chris Anderson and Caron Butler, because Ke Yan gave them positive suggestions during pre-season training, which to a certain extent expressed the coaching staff's importance to them. Therefore, the relationship

Getting along well.

Odom, who returned from the defeat in Athens, also appeared at today's media meeting day. This was the first time that Ke Yan met him. Being appointed by the media as the new second-in-command of the Lakers, Odom smiled very flatteringly. Miami

It's really nice, with sunshine, beaches, beauties, and very convenient life, but there's still a gap compared to Los Angeles. Besides, isn't it more respectable to work for Kobe Bryant than to be Wade's second child?<

/p>

The local media in Los Angeles are also very optimistic that Odom, who has comprehensive skills, can become the "Pippen" next to Kobe. They have given him considerable cards and given him very high praise in the newspaper pages.

Butler, who came to the Lakers from the Heat, received relatively little attention. Although he was also a fan of that Bulls team, from a position perspective, he is more suitable to play the role of Pippen, but who?

Let Odom's "all-around" attribute be more suitable for Pippen.

Ke Yan also noticed Butler's loneliness. While taking pictures, he walked over and put his arms around Butler's shoulders: "Are you a little envious of Lamar?"

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

Last season, the same was true for the Heat. The two of them cooperated with Wade and helped the Heat reach the Eastern Conference semifinals. Together 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 take Frank's seat." Ke Yan 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 small forward position doesn't need to be that high. Likewise, you don't need to be as strong as Frank to be a coach, right?" Ke Yan used himself as an example to remind Butler that many things are not static. Perform well in training and win in the game.

If he plays well, he will have a chance.

After all, Odom, who is favored by the media now, is not an obstacle to Butler becoming the main force. He can swing to the power forward position. On the contrary, in Ke Yan's view, Grant, the team's main power forward, is

They are the ones who are more likely to be squeezed out of their position.

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

Stephen Smith is a sports reporter for the "Philadelphia Inquirer". As a staff member in the media industry, he has some impressions of the Chinese assistant coaches around Tomjanovich. After all, the name Kimi often appeared in the Rockets era.

Next to "Yao", I just didn't expect that when Tomjanovich came to the Lakers, he would also poach this former assistant from his old club.

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 and acquire the No. 1 pick in 2002. The Lakers also invited Tomjanovich to attract Yao Ming in the future.

The idea of ​​​​joining. Now with Kimi, it seems that he is working hard in this direction.

After some thought, Smith walked up to Ke Yan and proactively requested an interview.

"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 offseason. The team has completed the replacement 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 a lot of help to our lineup, and we can accomplish a lot of things." Ke Yan is very particular about the scale of recovery, 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 are aware of the troubles the team may encounter.

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

The current media is full of malice towards Kobe. They can ask any questions, even at the team's media open day. They can question him. Now, the whole team wants to endorse him.

"Personally, I have never doubted Kobe's focus on basketball. He is a player born for basketball. After the season starts, everyone will recognize this." Ke Yan is also very cunning. He constantly praises Kobe for his dedication to basketball.

Focus on it and never mention anything else.

No mention of basketball IQ or shot selection.

When talking about other players, Ke Yan also made his own analysis. On the surface, it was all just talk, but in fact, there was room for it. The strengths were exaggerated and the weaknesses were left there. If someone comes back a few years later,

If you find this interview, you will definitely be able to exclaim: "Scientists are just amazing. They saw XX's problem so early. If the Lakers promoted him early, how could they..."
