Although the Los Angeles media is not as venomous as the New York media, their way of welcoming Bruce is still ‘spicy’.

The first question that the Orange County Chronicle showed at Bruce Lee after the Lakers jersey was just seated at the press conference was: "Do you think you can deserve the third pick?"

There is no emotion left.

Ha ha.

At the time, Jordan Farmar, who was sitting next door, smiled.

"This answer is very long. I will use my entire career to answer your question. Are you ready to listen to me?"

Bruce Lee lifted weight lightly, and easily solved this problem full of gunpowder smell into invisible.

This made John Black, the public relations department manager who had a cold sweat, quietly relieved. The manager who worked for the Lakers for more than 20 years had known from the press conference that this would be a serious challenge to himself and Bruce.

Now the entire Los Angeles is questioning the Lakers club's trade on draft night. They don't understand why the Zen Master has to pay a high price to bring a mocked point guard back to Staples.

And ... the first thing he did when he arrived in Los Angeles was not to sign a contract with the Lakers, but to release his first album with Double Star at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

It seems ... he is more like a pop star who came to Los Angeles to develop than a high-ranking rookie who came to the Lakers for a career.

This has attracted more criticism from Bruce, and fans clearly prefer the concentrated, humble, and enterprising Ucla defender Jordan Farmar.

Even the "Los Angeles Times" was very beautiful in yesterday's sports version: Look, who is the real No. 3 rookie, and who is the fake No. 3 rookie, is it not clear at a glance?

Jordan Farmar has been training at UCL since the draft. His image is completely different from that of Bruce. He is dedicated, hardworking, and tells the Lakers fans a good news: my projection is more accurate, I can help Kobe Bryant better.

In contrast.

Bruce was wandering under the spotlight of the entertainment circle. His picture of holding a wine glass yesterday afternoon appeared in all Los Angeles media, covering the sports version and the entertainment version. His excitement, "Our two albums will definitely make Double Star Company occupy a place in the music circle" has become a target of group mocking in two editions?

Listen, does this look like a basketball player?

Listen, this basketball player does n’t brag about drafts. Does he think he is a superstar of the times?

When the two are compared, it is no wonder that the Los Angeles Times made the comparison between the "True and False No. 3 Show".

However, the praise of the basketball media did not bring substantial benefits to Jordan Farmar. The contract he signed was still only 4.98 million US dollars in 4 years, and the salary in the first two years was only ... 950,000 US dollars and 1.05 million US dollars. It rose to 1.08 million US dollars in the third year and 1.95 million US dollars in the fourth year. The third and fourth years are team options.

Although Kupchak is very optimistic about Jordan Farmar, he hopes he will turn Bruce Lee in the team. However, in terms of money, it will not give any benefits.

In contrast, Bruce Lee and Jeanne Bass signed a contract that was almost four times the amount of his contract. He got the limit contract that the No. 3 show can get under the current league regulations for $ 18.36 million in four years. The starting salary for the first year is $ 4.2 million, and the most interesting part of this contract is that Li Zhen can get 30% of the salary in advance at the end of October every year, and continue to get 30% at the end of December. , The rest are distributed in wholesale.

This increases Li Zhen's wealth control. It also makes the Lakers' trading difficulty more difficult.

But Jenny Bass firmly told Bruce: We never planned to trade you.

This made Bill Duffy and Li Zhen very touched.

At the press conference, Time Warner reporters followed the rhythm of the Orange County Chronicle and continued to ask sharp questions: "So, do you think you think the value you bring to the Lakers can exceed the two draft rights we paid plus 1 million special cases? "

"The answer to this question is in the minds of Phil Jackson, Jenny Bass, Kupchak and all Lakers shareholders." Li Zhen responded with a smile.

"So, do you think you can form a chemical reaction with Kobe Bryant? He is the strongest defender in the league today, and the most difficult defender!" The espn reporter asked.

"I don't quite know what the chemical reaction you are talking about. But, he gave me a sports car yesterday." As he said, Bruce did not forget to take out the key of the BMW roadster: "And, he also Say to me. I'm always welcome to be a guest at his house. I can even live in his house before I find a house. "

amount….

Not only the reporters at the scene were in an uproar: Bryant actually sent this parallel car? Not to mention that he is stingy, even his parents cut off contact?

Jordan Famar next door was full of surprise and envy. I rely on! They are all rookies, and they are also point guards. Why do you give him a sports car instead of a sports car? Is it because he looks more handsome than me?

Farmar was quite unconvinced.

But what made him even more depressed was that the entire press conference was 30 minutes. He and Bruce Lee were sitting at the same table, and no one media actively interviewed him.

In the end, if it wasn't for the nasty guy, he offered: "Don't you plan to let my two teammates talk?"

The reporters didn't seem to realize his existence with Eddie Griffin at all.

Although these reporters have always praised Famar for degrading Bruce in the media recently, but came to the scene, the valuable opportunity to ask questions can not be wasted on Famar. Bruce is the focus of attention.

This made Jordan Farmar frustrated for a time: What do you think of me? Use it as a tool to devalue Bruce?

He guessed the truth, but it might not be accepted as quickly.

In contrast, Eddie Griffin is quite calm. He even turned his head to comfort Bruce: "Don't take these criticisms seriously, they just want to make you self-doubt, and then gather around to watch your pain, and broadcast the whole" killing "process to the world. "

Eddie Griffin was a super genius who became famous as a young man. He was named Garnett in high school. After graduating from high school, he entered Seton Hall University. When he first entered college, he was able to contribute 17.8 points, 10.7 rebounds and 4.4 blocks per game, earning all kinds of honors.

If it was not forced to leave the university because of fighting with his teammates at school, he might even be elected No. 1 in 2001. Yes ... he was a super genius qualified to compete with Kwame Brown.

And even if he fell to the 7th pick at the time. However, the Rockets still used three first-round rookies to trade him (Brandon Armstrong, Jason Collins, Richard Jefferson).

This was also criticized at the time.

But Eddie Griffin is obviously not as good as Bruce ’s mentality: he grew up in extreme poverty, and his personality, personality and even IQ are not sound enough.

So, he quickly sinks. Anesthetize yourself with alcohol and something illegal.

"Don't drink too much for this."

Griffin's eyes widened and he spoke to Bruce very seriously.

When a guy who frequently gets drunk on the news seriously tells you not to drink too much, its persuasive effect is far more effective than a priest holding a cross and standing in front of you to say some grand words.

"You too." Li Zhen patted his shoulder: "Drinking is bad for the skin."

amount….

Griffin didn't respond. He had heard many people use various reasons to persuade him to stay away from alcohol, but no one really told himself so seriously that drinking alcohol is bad for the skin.

"You look especially like a rapper. You speak with a blues and blues rhythm. You should be able to make some musical achievements."

Bruce continued: "You can try melody rap."

what?

Eddie Griffin was stunned again by Li Zhen's words.

No black man wants to be a rap-star, their genes seem to have a longing for rap. So, when Bruce praised him as a rap singer, and when he spoke with blues blues rhythm, his dead-hearted heart suddenly became turbulent.

When Bruce suggested that he try melody rap, he even had an urge.

"Maybe in the future we can also cooperate on music."

Li Zhen patted Griffin on the shoulder again, and then ended the conversation.

He has another announcement to catch up, he has to go to mtv to sing for his new album.

Li Zhen hopes to make some money on this album, and then buy shares in faebook.

Griffin looked at Bruce's back, and his state of mind fluctuated somewhat. He originally wanted to give Bruce some advice as a coming person, but he didn't expect that Bruce gave him a little inspiration.

So, he called his agent: "Help me rent a house with a recording studio."

When his agent received the call, the whole person was stunned.

But soon because of this sentence became joy.

Because before this, Griffin had no requirements for the quality of life, and he was drunk and dreamed every day, and even began to wonder how to leave this world.

Now, he actually wanted a house with a recording studio.

This is a positive sign.

He quickly went looking for it.
