Sixty-nine: The current situation of making people feel powerless

At 7:30 pm, the game officially began, and the jump ball of the two floor stream centers ended with Divac's victory.

Rachel also plucked Divac's hand, "Caron, how many times has Vlad jumped to win his opponent?" Rachel turned around and asked Butler.

"It should be the second time this season, right?" Butler thought for a long time before saying this.

"Is there another time?" Rachel asked back.

"Yes, you stopped hurting that time, and he won a big silly guy in Toronto." Butler replied with considerable certainty.

"Oh, guess how many minutes of playing time the boss will give me today," Rachel asked.

"It should be longer than usual, you should know that you are one of the protagonists tonight."

"Tell you secretly, the boss told me just now, give me thirty minutes of playing time." Rachel muttered softly in Butler's ear.

"The boss is so nice to you. You have to seize this opportunity. This is very important to you, do you know?" Butler said solemnly.

"I know." Rachel also became solemn.

"There will definitely be a lot of people paying attention to your performance tonight, so get good data. Don't pass the ball if you can pass it. Try to play more by yourself. I will try my best to make the ball for you." Butler patted Rachel on the shoulder and said.

"Actually, I know that I will definitely not be able to stay in the Lakers for a long time. In the Lakers, no one except you, boss, Vlad, Bobby likes me. Everyone keeps a distance from me because I have a conflict with Kupchek."

"Maybe if you take a few big data, that guy Kupchek will be left under the pressure of the fans, you might even stay." Butler advised.

"Do you think these fans will like me?" Rachel stood up, pointed his finger at the audience and said loudly.

Before attracting the attention of fans, Butler quickly pulled Rachel down and warned in a low voice: "Doug, don't be so willful. Do you really want to be enemies of the whole world?"

"No, I'm not willful at all. I'm just saying a fact. The fact is that a noble family like the Lakers cannot tolerate a dirty and infamous bastard player like me." Rachel said calmly. The calmness beyond his age makes people feel terrible.

silence……

"Maybe you will have a better tomorrow, maybe one day I will leave the Lakers, because I am from the streets too." Butler's low voice broke the silence between the two, with a little longing for the future in his voice, but more of a powerlessness about the status quo.

"By the way, Caron, do you think I will be traded or bought out directly?" Rachel said in a relaxed and naughty tone, but the effect is indeed the opposite.

"If you don't have transaction value, you'll be bought out. The Lakers don't want to provide a problematic rookie on its roster who gets into trouble every day and is criticized by the media every day." Butler wiped his face and said quite relaxedly.

"Hahahahaha" Rachel burst out laughing, as if crazy. After a while, she said lightly, "I personally think it's better to trade me, at least I still have a job, right?"

"Caron, come on the field." At this time, Tomjanovic came over and said to Butler.

"Sir, I feel a little uncomfortable tonight, let Doug go." Butler looked at Tomjanovic's eyes sincerely, without any intention of disobeying Tomjanovic's will.

"Since that's the case, Doug, you go on. Your defense target is Pejastokjakovic. Don't give him any shooting opportunities. This is the task I gave you. Don't let me down and Karon." Tomjanovic changed his substitution strategy.

Hearing Tomjanovic's arrangement, Rachel was not embarrassed and stood up with a determined look on his face, then took off his coat and pants and prepared to walk towards the field.

"Come on, Doug!" Tomjanovic's voice sounded, and Rachel turned around and saw a firm face.

"I will!" Rachel murmured in her heart, then stepped onto the court to replace Odom. Everything was dull, the fans had neither applause nor boo. The fans watched Rachel's every move like a cold-eyed bystander. Rachel's status in the minds of Lakers fans can never be as high as that of Bowen in the minds of Spurs fans. This is inevitable, because the cultures of the two teams are different.

After playing, Rachel immediately pestered Pejastokjakovic, even though he was still at free throw time.

"Rookie, you don't have to be so nervous. Have you seen that your brother is still there to make a free throw?" Stojakovic teased.

"Shut up your stinky mouth, your pronunciation is very inaccurate. Don't use your European English to fuck me. I'm too lazy to miss you!" Rachel didn't take this all-star Scorer-type small forward seriously.

"I hope you can still say such things after the game, oh, maybe you won't have this chance after the first quarter, because you will be beaten by me, so the old man pressed you tightly on the bench."

"Touch your own egg and say this before you can! Soft egg!"

...

Swish, after preparing for a long time, Webber finally hit his second free throw.

Atkins quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Rachel also took Stojanovic to circle around. Stojanovic was quite relaxed. After all, everyone in the NBA now knows that Rachel does not have the ability to shoot. Although Rachel does not have the ability to shoot, his IQ is not low, so after passing a pick-and-roll, Rachel chose to cut straight to the basket.

Since Stojanovic followed relatively loosely, Rachel really ran into the inside line. At this time, Divac's ball also passed, very accurately and quickly, without any delay. This is the biggest reason why he is so old and can still win the middle class.

After Rachel received the ball, she took a step forward and easily made a layup to complete the task.

"Softie, you will let me go next time? Look at Adelman's bitter face, you are afraid that the person who will be replaced before the first quarter will be the one!" Rachel teased Stojakovic.

"Rookie, don't be too arrogant, you will learn a lesson."

"The last time the person who said this to me was Cott Thomas, the guy in New York, but he broke a front teeth by me. I think you should have seen this news in the newspaper, so from now on, please take good care of your front teeth." Rachel showed his bright record.

However, in the past few months (starting from the trial training), Rachel has been injured, which is why he has been criticized by the media for so long, because Rachel always causes small accidents every few days. One Rachel can support twenty reporters, which is not an exaggeration.

Of course, the consequence of doing this is that Rachel has become a new generation of bad kids in the NBA, which fans don’t like, the media doesn’t like, and the management doesn’t like.

Perhaps, from another perspective, Rachel just didn't meet someone who liked him.
