Big Zhi and Kobe's Lakers Dynasty

Chapter 47 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Calls

In the game against the Toronto Raptors, the Los Angeles Lakers fell into a passive position from the first minute. If it weren't for Kobe's timely hemostasis after playing, they might have entered garbage time before the end of the first half.

Bryant always flashed something different when he was at the Air Canada Center, starting with his first game against the Toronto Raptors.

Facing Walter Williams' defense, Kobe showed eighteen martial arts skills, such as mid-range shots, three-pointers, floating layups, and fadeaways. Kobe scored 16 points before the end of the long half!
This is also the scoring high of his personal career. Even with Kobe's superb performance, the Lakers are still 12 points behind at halftime.

In the third quarter, the Lakers still did not regain their form, and in the fourth quarter, the Toronto Raptors relaxed. Kobe made a crazy breakthrough and scored frequently, but finally lost to Toronto.

In this campaign, Kobe scored 23 points, Wang Dazhi scored 7 points and 5 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers ended their three-game road trip with a record of one win and two losses.

After flying back to Los Angeles, Delmar Harris gave the team a day off and returned to the apartment. Wang Dazhi was finally able to sleep soundly.

Young people will recover much faster, and Wang Dazhi also made an appointment with Kobe to start training at noon the next day.

Just when Wang Dazhi woke up and began to brush his teeth and wash his face, the phone in the apartment rang. Not many people knew the number, either Kobe or the team staff.

Wang Dazhi: "Hi, this is Wang Dazhi's home."

Wang Dazhi said with a toothbrush in his mouth.

"Hello, young man.

I'm Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. "

The thick voice on the other end of the phone announced his family name.

Hearing that it was Jabbar, Wang Dazhi hurriedly threw away the toothbrush in his hand and rinsed his mouth.

Wang Dazhi: "I really didn't expect it oh no!

Dear Mr. Kareem, it is my great honor to receive your call! "

Wang Dazhi was a little excited when he received a call from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "Don't get so excited, just treat me like a retired old man.

Are you interested in being my student? "

Abdul-Jabbar doesn't mince words.

Wang Dazhi: "Yes, yes, yes! I am one hundred willing!

It was like a dream! "

Wang Dazhi never dreamed that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would take the initiative to guide himself!

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "Well, I heard that you will come to the training hall today, then we will see you on the court later."

Abdul-Jabbar hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Dazhi threw himself on the bed, and laughed happily under the quilt!
After calming down for a while, he sorted out everything as quickly as possible, and then set off quickly to the training hall.

When Wang Dazhi came to the training hall, he found Kupchak and Larry Drew sitting by the court.

Wang Dazhi: "Good afternoon, Mr. Ku! Good afternoon, Coach Drew!"

Wang Dazhi, who had been grinning from ear to ear, greeted the two bosses.

Kupchak: "It's really you, Wang!
Because you Kareem Abdul-Jabbar decided to come out as the team's insider consultant! "

Kupchak looked at Wang Dazhi with an extremely gratified gaze. After all, this big man from Asia was selected by himself after all his efforts.

Wang Dazhi: "What? Because of me!!!

Am I that good now? "

Although he had already received Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's call, Wang Dazhi didn't know that there was such a relationship.

Kupchak: "Using Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's words, the technical characteristics of most NBA players have already been fixed, and ordinary people are not suitable for learning his skills.

But you are different, he thinks you are a malleable talent. "

Kupchak repeated what Kareem said exactly.

Wang Dazhi: "The old man really has a bright eye! I must study hard from him!"

Wang Dazhi knows how important it is to have someone at the level of a master give advice at his technical level.

Kupchak: "You know it's good to work hard, and you know Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's resume even if I don't tell you.

In addition, I also want to tell you that Abdul-Jabbar's salary is not a small amount, you have to be worthy of the team's investment in you! "

As the vice president of the team, Kupchak is very distressed for every penny he spends. After all, the boss Bass is not considered a rich man in the NBA boss circle.

Wang Dazhi: "I think Mr. Kareem's salary will be worth as much as my contract!"

American self-proclaimed Wang Dazhi has grasped the essence.

Larry Drew: "With such a senior on the coaching staff, our work will be smoother.

We should have even bigger goals this year!
Mr. Abdul-Jabbar is a real Laker, and he wants to bring the Lakers back to the top as soon as possible through his own efforts. "

Although they lost two of their three away games, Larry Drew knew that the Los Angeles Lakers must be a team not to be underestimated when they come to the playoffs.

Kupchak: "Wow! The NBA's all-time scoring leader is back in the Lakers training facility!"

Kupchak got up with Larry Drew and Wang Dazhi to welcome the famous man.

Kareem: "Good afternoon, everyone.

The gym smells really good, I like the smell. "

Returning to the place where he once fought, Kareem was refreshed.

Kupchak: "Indeed, it's the smell of victory, the smell of a champion!"

The staff of the Los Angeles Lakers have a spontaneous sense of pride.

Larry Drew: "Mr. Kareem, I will cooperate with you in all your work."

Becoming Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's assistant is Larry Drew's new mission.

Wang Dazhi: "Teacher, please be respected by your disciples!"

Wang Dazhi gave Kareem Abdul-Jabbar a Chinese-style fist, and he knew that Americans liked it very much.

Abdul-Jabbar: "Seeing you reminds me of Bruce Lee, it's been over 20 years!
It seemed like yesterday when I made a movie with him. "

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar cherishes the dead like a husband.

Wang Dazhi: "I've seen that movie, and I'm also a big fan of Bruce Lee.

I want to be a legend like you too! "

Wang Dazhi made no secret of his ambitions.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "Your mentality is a must for success, and that's one of the reasons why I came out again.

I have watched the team's games this year. As a rookie, you are very tough. You are very energetic whether it is talking or playing.

But there are many areas where you need to improve, and I will let you make great progress in these areas.

Mr. Ku, I know you are very busy. I don't need you to accompany me. Larry is enough here. "

Although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a dean-level figure, he doesn't have any pretensions.

Kupchak bid farewell to Kareem, and told Larry Drew a few words before leaving. He did have a lot of chores to attend to.
