Chapter 1071 Birthday Night, Against the Old Club
Ji Feng sent the hot bar to a cafe near Staples, met Avril Lavigne, and then went to the training hall to meet the team for today's training.
Being able to be on the Forbes China version of the double list at the same time is a big surprise for Ji Feng, which proves that his efforts last year have been recognized by everyone, and it is also Ji Feng's determination to continue to work hard. His career has just begun, and it's not the time to sleep on the credits.
And the existence of Farmar, a well-informed person, is naturally known to the entire team, and after knowing Ji Feng's wealth, it is natural that a group of people will be arguing and asking Ji Feng to invite guests to a party. What, this kind of thing is common not only in China, but all over the world.
Of course, Ji Feng didn't say anything. He meant it originally. This time period is not only his birthday, but also the time for the team to continue winning streak. Moreover, it is very close to Christmas, because the Lakers will participate in the Christmas battle this Christmas. , so now is the right time to have a party at this time.
On the way to Staples, Ji Feng had already discussed this matter with James, and James immediately said that this matter was covered by him, and he also agreed to hold a party at this time.
Although there are only two days, the United States is a party country. In Los Angeles, all kinds of parties are staged almost every day. In addition to various official parties, celebrities from all walks of life often hold private parties by themselves. The situation is also varied, such as make-up parties, pajama parties, pool parties, etc., whether it is what you want or not, in short, everything is available.
The guys in the NBA naturally like to do these things. In this year, Ji Feng attended the parties held by Kobe Bryant. Not long after Ji Feng returned to Los Angeles in the summer, he was invited by O'Neal to attend the party organized by him. In the shark pool show, Ji Feng was impressed by the fat man jumping in the water, but his eyes were a little hot.
Last year, James' birthday party in Cleveland was also on the hottest news list because of the attendance of rap superstars such as JAY-Z and the gathering of the 03 golden generation, and Rihanna, a die-hard James fan, sang at the party. The song made James shine.
If there is a market, there will be business opportunities, so there will naturally be many companies and institutions that specialize in hosting parties for celebrities. According to the requirements of the employer, they will prepare everything needed for the party in a very short time. Needless to say, they are all professional.
After James and Ji Feng finished the phone call, he immediately started to prepare for the party. The main object of this party was the entire Lakers team, plus a few famous Lakers, and Ji Feng would invite some familiar friends to the front. Come, so invitations are also essential.
However, these Ji Feng only need to provide the list and venue. He has no time to do it himself, so he will be responsible for James.
So after Farmar took the lead in the uproar, Ji Feng immediately announced that after the game on the 15th, he would hold a birthday party and a moving banquet at his new home in Bel Air on the 16th.
"Long live!"
Naturally, the response was the Shanhu Tsunami version, especially after learning that there was a girl, these guys shouted louder.
"But guys, for the party the day after tomorrow, we must not lose tomorrow night." Ji Feng reminded.
"Don't worry mate."
"Understood, it goes without saying."
"Brother, you can't lose because of you."
After accepting the congratulations from his teammates, Ji Feng and his teammates began to prepare for tomorrow night's game. As Ji Feng said, tomorrow night's game is very important for the Lakers, and it is almost a game that cannot be lost.
This is not only related to whether the Lakers can match the 24-game winning streak last season, nor is it just the key battle for Ji Feng to surpass Larry Hughes, but more importantly, tomorrow night is Ji Feng's birthday night. I don't want to lose a battle on my birthday night.
What's more coincidental is that the guy who arranged the schedule did not know if it was intentional. Tomorrow night, the Lakers will face the Memphis Grizzlies at home, and they are also Ji Feng's old club.
On the birthday night against the old club, if he lost, it would definitely be a ton of damage, that's why Ji Feng paid so much attention to it, even leaving two beauties to drink coffee next door to come to training.
After two hours of recovery and physical training, the entire Lakers team gathered in the conference room. For the first time in two seasons, Master gave an analysis class to the entire Lakers team for the Grizzlies.
It's not just because tomorrow's game is important, it's because the Grizzlies have changed as a team.
Ever since the Grizzlies sold former boss Gasol and dramatically traded Ji Feng, the Grizzlies' owner and general manager have been criticized a lot. Although they replaced head coach Mark, it was of no use. The better the performance of the peak, the more difficult it is for the Grizzlies fans, so every day in front of the Grizzlies training center, the banner holding the two of them out of class can be seen.
After the coaching change, the Grizzlies, who had Gay upright, were still at the bottom of the league last season. Although their team had Gay and Conley with high draft picks, their record continued to decline and victory became more difficult. Won 1 game and went 22-60 for the second year in a row.
This further intensified the conflict. At the same time, because the Grizzlies missed the playoffs for consecutive years, the sponsors ran away a lot, so the team's finances have been losing money. This summer, after first firing Chris, the Grizzlies owner finally took the ball The team is up for sale.
After changing owners and managers, the Grizzlies embarked on reconstruction again. They first identified Mark Avaloni as the team's head coach. The first thing the new coach took office was to make very big changes to the team.
They first selected OJ Mayo through the draft, the former No. 1 high school student in the United States, who was also considered to be a very talented representative, and then signed the second-round pick Damon Arthur. Well, this is not important.
Then he signed Marc Gasol, who had done well in the Olympics, and traded with the Timberwolves for Mike Miller, Jason Collins, Brian Cardinal, and Marco Jaric, Walker and Gray. Greg Buckner.
The most important thing is that Navarro left the team again and returned to Spain. At the same time, he traded Kwame Brown to the Pistons. In order to supplement the inside line, the team recruited Haddadi from the Iranian team. This is also the first Iranian to land in the NBA.
So on paper, the Grizzlies' lineup already has the strength to fight. They have centers: Darko Milicic, Marc Gasol, Hamed Haddadi, power forward: Haki Jim Warrick, Antoine Walker, Darrell Arthur, Small Forward: Rudy Gay, Lamar Odom, Quinton Rose, Shooting Guard: OJ Mayo, Crittenton, Greg Buckner, PG: Mike Conley, Kyle Lowry, Marko Jaric.
