Chapter 57 I Want You To Look Good
"Hey, Jason, did you watch the game between the Kings and the Jazz last night? That Huaguo kid actually scored 24 points and 26 rebounds."

On December 2008, 12, in the training hall of the Phoenix Suns, when the entire Suns team arrived at the training hall one after another and was about to start training, the clown in the Suns team began to have fun with the players around him again.

Whether it is in the game or in training, the one who likes to be funny can only be the 300-pound fat Shaq O'Neal. Although the Suns did not perform well at the beginning of the season, they currently have 12 wins and 9 wins. The negative record ranks ninth in the West, but O'Neal is not worried about the Suns' playoff prospects at all. With O'Neal, Stoudemire, and Steve Nash, the Suns don't have to worry about the playoffs at all. , In O'Neal's mind, what they have to consider is how to reach the top four in the Western Conference before the end of the season, so as to have home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

The Jason that O'Neal said was Jason Thompson. Before Yan Hua went to Sacramento for trial training, Jason Thompson was the strongest player in the Kings training camp, and Kings coach Reggie Toy Stanley also told Jason Thompson that the Kings might choose Jason Thompson with the 12th or 28th pick in their hands, and after that heads-up, Jason Thompson quietly left Saxon Coramento, because Jason Thompson knows that the king's first choice is no longer him, even if he stays there, he is just humiliating himself.

"Hey, Jason, I heard that you and that kid are very conflicted. Do you want me to teach him a good lesson for you tomorrow night?" Jason Thompson saw the expression on his face after he mentioned that Huaguo kid. Just one change, Shaq O'Neal, as the big brother, took the initiative to take the responsibility of teaching Yan Hua a lesson. In fact, in O'Neill's heart, he was also a little unhappy with Yan Hua. There is no intersection with Yan Hua, but the news of the comparison between Yan Hua and O'Neal by the outside media makes O'Neal very unhappy. Yan Hua's current average of less than 16 points and 8 rebounds per game is also worthy of him. on par with his rookie season?Even if there is no grievance between Jason Thompson and Yan Hua, O'Neal will not let this Huaguo kid go in the game between the Suns and the Kings.

"Shaq, I hope I can blow him up with my own hands." To be honest, Jason Thompson's life in Phoenix is ​​still good. Although after entering the Suns, Jason Thompson has been serving as a substitute for O'Neal. O'Neal needs to accumulate physical fitness for the playoffs, so Jason Thompson gets a lot of playing time. In an average of 22 minutes of playing time per game, Jason Thompson averaged 8.5 points and 6 rebounds per game. It can be regarded as worthy of his own pick, but seeing Yan Hua, who has established himself as the main force in Sacramento and has made a name for himself in this league, Jason Thompson gritted his teeth in hatred, because in Jay From Sen-Thompson's point of view, everything that Yan Hua owns now should have been his own.

If it weren't for that inexplicable heads-up, Jason Thompson would not have left Sacramento, although after leaving Sacramento, Jason Thompson got a promise from the Phoenix Suns The 15th pick in the first round, but in Jason Thompson's heart, he was always worried about that one-on-one match and his disgraceful departure from Sacramento. Ever since he was selected by the Suns, Jason Thompson He worked hard and prepared to avenge that Huaguo boy in the regular season, and the Suns' game against the Kings at home tomorrow night is undoubtedly a very good opportunity for Jason Thompson.

"Shaq, Jason is a good guy. He is different from you. You should not disturb his training." Steve Nash, who had already started training, saw O'Neal still teasing Jason Sampson After that, he pretended to be unable to bear it, and reminded O'Neill to start training.

O'Neal is now 36 years old, plus his weight of more than 300 pounds and injuries all over his body, so in the Sun's daily training sessions, O'Neal basically paddles whenever he can, even in the regular season Among them, O'Neal is playing on the sidelines. In O'Neal's words, there is no need to work hard in the regular season, and the playoffs are when you really need to work hard. Steve Nash and head coach Al Wen Gentry has nothing to do with O'Neill, but they don't want O'Neill to spoil Jason Sampson. Jason Sampson doesn't have the talent and capital to learn from O'Neill.

"Okay, okay, Steve, when did you become a mother-in-law like Alvin." After smiling at Steve Nash, O'Neal ran to do recovery training, but after leaving When, O'Neill was still twisting his strong buttocks while making faces at Steve Nash.

"This guy." Seeing O'Neal walking and playing tricks, Steve Nash also shook his head helplessly. Steve Nash, helpless to O'Neal, walked up to Jason Sampson and patted Holding Jason Sampson's shoulder, he said: "Jason, work hard, I believe you will be better than that Huaguo kid."

Compared with O'Neal's four championships, the regular season, the finals, and the All-Star MVP Grand Slam, Steve Nash, who has never tasted the finals, is full of fighting spirit and wants to take advantage of it. When he can still play a dozen games, he will win the championship, so for the strong Jason Sampson, Steve Nash has always looked at him highly, because the Suns want to win the championship, not only need Steve Nash, Shaq O'Neal, Amare Stoudemire and other leading players also need the outstanding performance of Jason Sampson and other rotation players. Nash's dream.

"Steve, I will continue to work hard!" Jason Thompson knows what Nash expects of him, and for Steve Nash, Jason Thompson also respects him very much, and most importantly, Jason Thompson I also think that if I live in a different place, my performance will not be worse than Yan Hua.

"Boy, I will definitely ask you to look at me tomorrow night." Before walking on the court to start training, Jason Thompson turned his head to look behind him again, glanced at the newspaper he threw on the ground, and looked at the front page of the newspaper The boy from Huaguo said something harshly.
