Chapter 47: Pride and Prejudice
It is because of this incident that a raging fire was added to the vigorous "Dog Contest", which gave those who stepped on Rachel another auxiliary certificate - stadium violence! Anyway, none of the mainstream media reporting Rachel now has positive reports, almost all of them are negative news. Of course, there is at least one place in this world that praises Rachel, that is the Mad Dog House. Because the people there are rebellious young people because they like blood and rebelliousness.
In fact, on the night of the Grizzlies, Rachel won his highest number of rebounds in the preseason - 17, and there were 3 blocks. Gasol lost the level by Rachel. Originally, that night belonged to Rachel, but the elbow incident made everyone forget Rachel's performance. In fact, Rachel did not deliberately try to elbow Gasol, but encountered it inadvertently when grabbing rebounds at the basket. In fact, it was normal to get a little injury at the basket to fight and get a little injury. Rachel just received a warning at the time, not even a T.
Yes, the person who elbowed his opponent was replaced by Rachel. No matter how normal the media was, the media would draw him out, because now Rachel is the main target of attack on the media, too many basketball media need Rachel to stimulate income, because now black Rachel has become a fashion and a normal thing, and the media is the most unreasonable thing in the world. They will attack a person without reason. The person who was attacked on NBA is Ai, and he survived, so he became the Ai today. Now, I wonder if Rachel can survive?
It can be said that Rachel is the player who ignores the media's views the most, so on the plane back to Los Angeles that night, Rachel was still chatting with Butler with laughter. Except for his friends' opinions, it is difficult for others to influence Rachel's opinions.
"Zhang, come here!" Tomjanovic called beside his seat.
After Rachel approached, Tomjanovic pointed to the seat next to him, "Sit!"
"Is there anything wrong? Head!" Rachel asked quite relaxedly.
"Doug, tell me, are you under great pressure? Tell me if you are under great pressure, don't keep it in your heart, after all, you are still a child." Are you a child in Tom Jiapiao's Astronomy or watching TV and newspapers?" Tom Jiapiao's Astronomy, you have been watching TV!" Rachel became even more confused.
"Are you not bothered by the news reports at all?"
"Worry, how can I be? How do they write, how they read, what do they say it has to do with me? No one can affect me to live my own life. As for what others think, who cares?" Rachel said indifferently.
"You are really not angry at all when you see those reports?" Tomjanovic still didn't believe that Rachel would be so extraordinary.
"Why am I angry? What does it have to do with me? What does they think about me? Of course, if someone dares to speak rudely in front of me, I don't mind beating that person at all, but no one dares to say it directly in front of me so far, so those who say bad things about me behind my back are all soft-boys. Do you think I'll be angry with soft-boys?" Rachel smiled.
"You boy, I really don't know whether to praise you or scold you!" Seeing that Rachel was so relaxed, Tomjanovic put down his serious face and punched Rachel.
"Boss, can I start the start in the future?"
"It's very difficult!" Tomjanovic knew that he had to be directly treated when he talked to Rachel.
"Why?"
"Because Brian recovered from injury, as the second highest salary in the team, it is impossible to let him sit on the bench. In addition, in your current image, Kupchek does not allow you to be the starting lineup of the Lakers. The Lakers are rich and nobles. Kupchek, who is very proud, will not allow a villain to appear in his team's starting lineup. Now you are the number one young and villain of the NBA! Even if you haven't played even a regular season game, the media will always have this power to get you the title of evil." Tomjanovic said with his fingers hitting his thigh.
"Okay, then can you satisfy me if I average twenty minutes per game?" Rachel surrendered. This is rare.
"That depends on how you perform in training." Tomjanovic smiled.
"Haha, I am the hardest-working player in the entire Lakers!"
"Yes, I admit that, but I think it would be even more perfect if you can do your damn free throw better." Tomjanovic smiled.
"I'm improving!"
"Ok! Now I want to sleep, so good night!" Tomjanovic stretched.
"Good night, boss!" Rachel smiled, then turned and left.
After arriving in Los Angeles, Rachel went home directly. Because of the day off, Rachel slept home until she woke up by her phone at noon. She picked up and saw that the name displayed on her phone was "Jesus!" and quickly pressed the answer button. (Denis Rodman called Chuck Daly God, and Rachel treated Rudy Tom Janovic as Jesus in her heart. Although Rachel did not believe in Jesus, she also knew that Jesus was the spokesperson of a certain belief, and Rudy Tom Janovic was Rachel's belief in basketball, so Rachel treated Rudy Tom Janovic as Jesus in her heart!)
"Doug, you're suspended!"
"Is it an internal ban?" Rachel was calm.
"No, it's the league's top management! And it's a ban on the game without pay!"
"How many events?"
"One game, although there is only one game, it means that you have entered the sight of the league's top leaders as a villain. And when Michelle was talking to me just now, he seemed quite angry and repeatedly claimed to trade you." Tomjanovic's voice was a little quick.
"Trade me?" Rachel's tone increased!
"He really has this idea. He is eager to deal with you now because he thinks you have destroyed the Lakers' image and you are just a rookie!"
"Well, if he's willing to do that, I don't mind playing in other cities at all." Rachel interrupted Tomjanovic.
"No, Doug, don't be discouraged. It's not the end of the world yet. You still have nearly two months to prove yourself." Tomjanovic comforted.
"Two months?"
"This is an agreement between me and Michelle! You just need to play well, don't worry about the rest! Okay, now I have a lot of things to be busy with, so you can have a good rest! I'll give you a day off tomorrow, clean up my mood, and train the day after tomorrow!" Tomjanovic hung up the phone.
After Rachel said "bye", she threw her cell phone on the bed, then fell down on her back, and was silent for a long time. She suddenly got up, found the cell phone that was thrown on the bed, and then dialed a phone: "Where are you?"
A sexy female voice came from the other side of "la".
"Now I want to have sex, have sex crazy!" Rachel roared at the phone.
"Okay, come on!"
