Chapter 179 The Feeling of Being a Leader
On November 11, the Los Angeles Lakers practice field.

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. The performance is considered normal. Tomorrow the Lakers will continue to sit at home against the Atlanta Hawks , for the third game.

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

Kobe did not appear in today's training hall. Rudy Tomjanovich said with a tired look: "Kobe is sick. It's a pity that he will miss tomorrow's game against the Eagles. Sun, tomorrow's game must be rely on you."

In fact, Sun Zhuo knew that Kobe was absent from tomorrow's game on purpose, and Kobe wanted everyone to see the difference between his leadership and Sun Zhuo's leadership.

Sun Zhuo also knew Kobe's intentions, 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 team's health, but since Kobe decided to miss Sun Zhuo's new season In the first match, Sun Zhuo had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Compared with last season, Sun Zhuo has undoubtedly grown again, especially in the Olympics when he discovered that he can use the Eurostep to draw fouls. He has never used it in the NBA. Tomorrow will be his first appearance .

"Sun, how far have you and Jessica Alba progressed? It seems that there is news that Jessica is pregnant, is it true?" Caron Butler started gossip about Sun Zhuo and Jessica.

Sun Zhuo smiled and said, "I didn't expect the American media to be so nonsense. It's not a thing at all."

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

Sun Zhuo laughed and said: "Okay, buddy, I know your rapping ability, I very much doubt whether you can keep up with the speed of our songs."

"Hahaha." Odom also leaned back and laughed.

Including Atkins and Brian Cook, these Lakers players also took the initiative to greet 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... too many big-name stars with qualifications, and Sun Zhuo just entered the NBA. There is no status or right to speak at all.

But the current Lakers have completely changed. All these senior 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 newcomers to the Lakers. , Sun Zhuo is older than them, and he is a key cultivation target of the Lakers, so he should be respected more than them.

"In other words, when Kobe is not around, I am the boss of the Lakers!"

Sun Zhuo immediately felt very excited. Although it had always been his goal to be the boss of the team, he didn't really feel this way until today.

Sun Zhuo felt that being respected by others in the team was really great. He had been a younger brother for a year last year, and now that Kobe is away, he had to enjoy the fun of being the boss!
To put it a little vulgarly, it is to make good use of the status of the boss to pretend to be coercive.

But in front of whom?

Lamar Odom, who played all the starters for the Heat last season, averaged 18+10 per game, and his statistics are even better than Sun Zhuo.

Caron Butler, a straight pass, met Arenas and was about to have a shootout, he was such a calm and composed tough guy, he couldn't afford to provoke...

Generally, according to the NBA tradition, the team boss usually shows his majesty on the rookie.

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

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

James also failed to escape the misfortune of a rookie. Although he was selected to be the boss when he was selected into the Cavaliers, Ricky Davis didn't know it. As soon as he came up, James also did the job of serving tea and water. James returned to you directly. Are you sick?

"Well, I have to show my leadership attitude in front of the newcomers. This season, I will try to be a leader..."

After playing for a while, Sun Zhuo got tired and sat down on his seat. Then, he looked at the "new rookie" of the Lakers, 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 more capable of being a man. Knowing that the other boss of the new team was about to pretend to be aggressive, he immediately called Vujacic, and Vujacic turned to look at Sun Zhuo.

"Oh, good." After learning about Sun Zhuo's request, Vujacic dared not refuse. After all, dealing with people is something he is better at than basketball. However, Vujacic did not do this right away, but made two more shots. just come here.

This kind of attitude is much worse than when he was in England. In London, Vujacic arrived there in advance, ordered food and prepared an umbrella for Sun Zhuo. Could it be that he is now determined to follow Kobe?
"Kobe said that the Lakers are his own team, so Sun shouldn't be able to compete with Kobe in the past two years, right?" Vujacic thought to himself, since he has a closer relationship with Kobe now, naturally he wouldn'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 Spurs game last time. Popovich seemed to mention you after the game."

"Oh, really? What did he say?" Sun Zhuo took the water, and Popovich mentioned him, it must be something bad.

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

"Uh..." Sun Zhuo was a little embarrassed, Popovich really held grudges, and his absence from the game was really right, but why did Vujacic bring this up at this time?Isn't it embarrassing the boss Sun Zhuo? !

After taking a sip of water, Sun Zhuo immediately stood up, stopped Vujacic again, and said, "Sasha, come and accompany me one-on-one."

"One-on-one?" Vujacic was stunned. When Kobe saw Vujacic, he asked him to play one-on-one. one on one...

Since if you want to be a leader, you must show the ability to make your teammates submit. If Sun Zhuo wants to become the second leader of the Lakers besides Kobe, he must act like today. If you show your majesty, no one will respect you on the field.

Kobe beat Vujacic, and Sun Zhuo wants to beat him too!
