Chapter 12: Song of Solomon

Speaking of it, Ricky Davis is really a wonderful flower. Before that, at the end of the game, he had to throw a basketball to his backboard and brush a triple-double. The opponent was so angry that he directly pushed him to the ground, and the opposite jazz coach Risloon was also stunned. In the end, he couldn't see it anymore. Looking for the referee theory, he still canceled his rebound.
Under his leadership, the Cavaliers scored the worst record in the league, successfully won the top pick, signed LeBron James, the arrogant of ten years, and the little emperor high school was famous all over the United States. Ricky Davis Also very happy: the team finally got me a good helper!
　　 So, in the last life, Ricky Davis, who was completely confused about the situation, was sent away after playing 20 games with the Cavaliers this season.
　　Now, due to the appearance of Sun Zhuo, James hated Ricky Davis in the first game. It is estimated that this guy will have to use 20 games.
　　 James's last show data was 29 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals, basically the same as Sun Zhuo's first show data, but the playing time is longer than Sun Zhuo, he played 43 minutes.
After the game, the reporter also interviewed James and asked: "LeBron, your first show data is almost the same as that of the Lakers rookie Sun Zhuo. He said that he and the Heat's Dwyane Wade are this rookie. The strongest among them, what do you think?"
　　James frowned and asked back, "Sorry, the grandson you just said...what is it, who is it?"
The reporter was shocked. Sun Zhuo scored 30 points as a rookie in the opener. He also knocked down Nowitzki and cast a lore. He took the top two of the top ten of the day. Almost no one in the entire NBA circle knew about it. No one knows. The Los Angeles Lakers are the most watched team in the NBA. James didn’t even know?
　　The reporter explained: "He was the rookie drafted by the Lakers in the first round at the 24th pick. He was the same as you and he scored 30 points in his first show!"
After listening, James smiled and said, "Is it? I guess Kobe definitely didn't play, otherwise he won't have so many shots, haha, kidding, I'm very happy to be able to appear in the same rookie of the same ranking. Such a great player, but I also know that the boss of the NBA team is not a fool. I guess Cameron and I are in front of them, which makes many people uncomfortable. I don’t think anyone in this rookie is better than me and Cameron. Stronger, wait and see, time will prove everything."
　　 The reporter asked: "You look forward to playing against the Lakers' No. 24 and Heat's No. 3 to prove to everyone that you are stronger?"
James shrugged: "I'm not looking forward to it. I don't have much impression of Sun... Zhuo, so I can't talk about prejudice. I just think that his jersey number is not good. No. 24 is not like a superstar. The selected number, look, number 23 is."
　　 James pointed to his jersey number.
　　……
"Fuck, James actually said that the 24th is not the number that the superstar will choose. What about Kobe? Help me with him!" Sun Zhuo also saw the interview video of James on the second day, but it is not realistic to want Rakobe to help. Kobe is still thinking about torturing Sun Zhuo.
After the first game, the Lakers have to rest for three days in a row, and there will be the next game on November 1st. Jessica Alba only established a shallow friendship with Sun Zhuo and went to work. Sun Zhuo is also not allowed. Avoid going to the training hall, and finally met with Bryant.
　　 At this time, Kobe, wearing the No. 8 jersey, already had a "boss"-like leadership temperament and majesty. Even when he was off the court, he did not smile and did not communicate with his teammates.
　　 Plus the contradiction between Kobe and O'Neill has reached a ridiculous point: if Kobe sees O'Neill communicate with a reporter, if that reporter goes to interview Kobe again, Kobe will directly refuse to be interviewed.
　　Similarly, if O'Neill sees which trainer in the team helps Kobe to bandage his ankle, he will let other trainers bandage himself, and never use the one Kobe used.
　　The two bosses in the team are particularly clear in these matters, so the team atmosphere is very bad.
　　 Just when Kobe and O'Neill were relatively speechless, Sun Zhuo appeared.
　　 Seeing Sun Zhuo, the two big guys of the Lakers quickly got up and ran to Sun Zhuo.
　　 "Hey, how about dating the blonde girl?" O'Neill asked with a grin.
　　 "Hurry up and change into sportswear, come and come one-on-one with me." Bryant stared at Sun Zhuo seriously.
　　Sun Zhuo gave O'Neal a smile, and then looked at Kobe, saying: "Kobe, you don't know how much I want to have one-on-one with you, but you should also listen to Shaq, I am injured, and I can't play in the next game."
　　Kobe Bryant said helplessly: "Well, wait for your injury, remember, I am waiting for your challenge at the stadium anytime!"
　　Follow, Kobe walked away, leaving Sun Zhuo to chat with O'Neill and the wind was born.
O'Neill took Sun Zhuo as close as his brother. He seemed to show Kobe deliberately and asked Sun Zhuo: "Brother, why did you come so late? Although you are injured now and can't train, you have to come to training on time. Pavilion, more contact with teammates, do you know?"
　　Sun Zhuo was very sorry and said: "I'm sorry, I was too busy opening an account for stocks and futures today, so I was delayed."
　　O'Neill was surprised: "Oh? Do you want to invest?"
　　Sun Zhuo smiled confidently: "Of course, at present, mainly gold."
　　 "Why choose gold?" O'Neill asked.
　　Sun Zhuo said with a smile: "Because our 2003 session is the'golden' generation!"
In fact, Sun Zhuo dared to invest because he really knew something about it. His father Sun Zhuo was an avid futures investor, especially good at making precious metals. Sun Zhuo also carefully looked at the trend of gold in the past two decades. The price of gold is very clear. Now that gold is in a very low position, it will rise all the way in the next few years. Sun Zhuo only needs to do more, and there is no need to move at all, and the money will be doubled.
　　 However, at this time, Bryant laughed twice: "03 is the golden generation? In front of our 96 generation, at most it is silver."
　　 Now that the 03 generation has not yet played, Sun Zhuo and O'Neill can't refute. It can be regarded as a silver by Kobe, which is already a praise.
　　Sun Zhuo didn't care, and said loudly to all his teammates: "I'm not blowing. My father is a professional futures investor. Everyone doing it with me will definitely make money."
　　Everyone laughed a few times, but they didn’t believe that Sun Zhuo had this kind of talent. Phil Jackson asked: "Do you think bullish or bullish about gold?"
　　 "More." Sun Zhuo replied.
Phil Jackson nodded: "The continued geopolitical tensions, especially the terrorist attacks in the Middle East, coupled with the depreciation of the US dollar, will make gold rise to a certain extent, but since the September 11th 2001 incident, gold has been I think the current wave of irrational buying of gold is about to subside. Once the US economy recovers and employment improves significantly, funds will flow from the gold market to the stock market again, and the price of gold will fall. ."
Zen Master deserves to be a Zen Master. He not only reads books about major religious cultures and treasures, but also invests in economics.
　　Sun Zhuodao: "Coach, we can bet that gold will not fall in recent years."
Phil smiled, then clapped his hands and said, "Forget it, if it's a basketball bet, I'll consider it. Well, everyone listens well. From now on, there will be no training for'silence training.' Speak again, not even sneeze."
　　In the most strict form of Zen, the instructor will patrol in the meditation room, tapping the sleeping or listless meditator with a small wooden board called "police" in his hand, so that they can concentrate.
　　 "police" is sometimes called "stick of mercy", but Phil Jackson never used "policy" in training, but chose to use some tricks.
　　 For example, when training silently, when the Chicago Bulls, he once asked the players to do so.
　　Sun Zhuo sat on the bench and looked at his teammates, silent training one by one, Kobe is a taciturn person, this training is very suitable for him, O'Neill is a little bit uncomfortable, so is Karl Malone.
　　 "Ah, I am so excited to watch this training, I really want to train with them. The guys in front of me are O'Neill, Kobe, Karl Malone! I already knew that I wouldn't cheat." Sun Zhuo felt emotion.
　　After today’s training, when everyone was ready to leave, Phil Jackson first stopped Kobe:
Kobe, don’t go first.

Kobe stopped and waited for Phil Jackson to walk towards him. Phil Jackson held a book called "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" and handed it to Kobe, saying, "This book, you Take time to take a look."
This "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" tells the story of a Greek island occupied by the Italian army during World War II. In the story, the residents of the island had to accept that they could no longer The fact of controlling your own destiny must be united. At the end of the story, although a lot of losses were lost, the residents of the island won.
　　 The Zen Master gave Kobe this book, hoping that Kobe would resonate from this story. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Because of this story, it still has similarities to Kobe's journey in the Lakers.
　　 "Oh, good." Bryant took the book, glanced at it, and was about to leave silently.
　　 However, Phil Jackson's book delivery is not over. He likes to read books, and he likes to give books to players, so that they can be improved in spirit. After sending Kobe, of course, I don't forget to send O'Neill.
　　Phil Jackson called O'Neal again: "Shaq, this "Siddhartha", you have time to read it."
"Siddhartha" is about the young prince Siddhartha giving up his luxurious life and looking for spiritual epiphany. The Zen master gave O'Neill this book in the hope that he can reexamine his obsession with the material world. Concentrate on places other than personal desires, such as caring more for teammates, such as Kobe.
　　 "Okay." O'Neill obviously didn't like reading books. After taking it, he took the books listlessly.
　　 What the OK group did not expect was that, in addition to them, there were people who received books from Zen masters.
　　 "Sun, this book, for you." Phil Jackson walked to Sun Zhuo again, handing him a book, smiling and warming.
　　Sun Zhuo was flattered and thanked.
　　Kobe clearly dressed and packed his things, but he deliberately waited until Sun Zhuo got up and walked with him.
　　Kobe walked to Sun Zhuo and asked curiously: "What book did Phil give you? Take it out and see."
　　Sun Zhuo took out the book, and the cover of the book read: "Song of Solomon."
boom!
　　Kobe Bryant immediately threw the copy of Captain Corelli's Mandolin into the trash can.
　　He doesn't care what these books are talking about, he only knows that "Song of Solomon" is the book that Phil Jackson gave Michael Jordan!
