065: The first battle to become the core(2/5)

And, directly responsible for Shay's training plan!

Shay also started his own training under Carlisle's arrangement.

Terry Teague, who had long wanted to cause trouble, looked at Shay beside him and suddenly became angry:

"Hey, I thought big stars trained alone and didn't practice with us."

Shay ignored Teague and continued training.

Sam Perkins, who was not far away, also glared at Teague, and Teague stopped talking.

The morning training went smoothly. After experiencing the baptism of The Breakfast Club, Shea could easily cope with the team's daily training.

The team's daily training is actually more about getting familiar with tactics, cultivating tacit understanding and maintaining form.

Because competitions are inherently intensive, daily training is generally not very intensive.

Riley has already shown the Lakers the consequences of excessive daily training intensity.

This amount of training is not enough to fill Shay's teeth.

So Shay was very relaxed after training and only sweated a little.

This led Terry Teague to mistakenly believe that the Lakers did not dare to train Shea at a high intensity.

So he became angry again.

"Oh, basketball is a man's sport, and being protected in a baby is not an option. I haven't even sweated after training all morning, is this training still useful?"

Shay has long been dissatisfied with the fact that this guy has been doing it all this time. In the Breakfast Club before, Danzi told me to forget about it.

Who the hell do you think you are?

But because he was a teammate, Shay couldn't respond.

Seeing that Shay still didn't respond, Terry Teague suddenly felt that the Chinese was easy to bully, so he pursued the victory.

"Hey, don't be in a hurry to take a rest. Let's play some balls for fun and learn from each other."

"It's very expensive to play with me. I'm not as cheap as you." Shea shot back in a joking tone.

Although this trash talk was simple, it was like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, and it stabbed Terry Teague to the core.

This season, Shea's annual salary of 3 million is the highest among the Lakers.

This was the rookie bonus in the 1990s. You could earn the highest salary on the team as soon as you debuted.

Sam Perkins' salary this year is only 2.51 million.

And Terry Teague's annual salary is only 700,000.

So when Shay said that about Teague, Teague blushed.

Terry was so angry that he stopped swearing, and people around him were laughing at Teague:

"You talk trash and you lose again? If you don't know how to talk trash, just shut up. You haven't even won!"

"This... what's the use of a basketball player just talking nonsense!"

Terry Teague was so angry that he jumped up and down, but there was nothing he could do about Shay.

At this time, the big brother of the team, Sam Perkins, came up and patted Teague on the shoulder, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

In an instant, Terry Teague's expression changed drastically.

After the lunch break, everyone gathered in the locker room again to prepare for afternoon training.

Generally, this is the time when the veteran bosses around the rookies the most.

Helping to buy drinks, buying a few burgers, and even helping to carry shoes are all common things.

Campbell still remembers the embarrassing experience of going out to help James Worthy buy sports protective equipment on this day last year.

If you buy protective equipment, just buy protective equipment. Worthy specifically wanted the kind with threads. Campbell was ashamed when he thought about it.

After Terry Teague walked into the locker room and sat down in his seat, he kept staring at Shay.

Combined with the non-confrontation between the two during the morning training, everyone estimated that Terry Teague was planning to use his status as a veteran to embarrass Shay and ask Shay to help with shopping or something.

Campbell, who was sitting next to Shay, also nudged Shay with his elbow:

"Hey, whatever they ask you to buy later, just agree.

As a Chinese, you may not understand, but this is part of the NBA locker room culture.

Don't be stubborn with him. Once things that are not conducive to the unity of the locker room are exposed, it will have an impact on all of us."

Shay nodded, he was actually mentally prepared.

As long as the request is not excessive, such as buying some drinks or something, just buy it.

As expected, Terry Teague stood up and walked straight towards Shay with a serious expression.

Everyone in the locker room held their breath, wondering what excessive demands Terry Teague would make.

Everyone only knew that after being criticized by a rookie named Shay this morning, Teague would definitely take revenge.

"Hey, rookie!"

Teague yelled, and Shay raised his head with an unhappy expression.

The atmosphere in the entire locker room has become extremely tense, and AC Green is even ready to stand up and be the peacemaker.

As a result, Terry Teague's next sentence was: "I'll buy whatever drink you want to drink. Where are the others? Is Gatorade okay?"

Terry Teague, use the hardest expression to say the softest words!

The whole locker room was speechless. You are really soft and soft!

At the same time, everyone was shocked.

What did Shay do to keep Terry Teague in check?

Did he drag Terry Teague to the toilet at noon and tease him severely?

No one has ever seen a veteran take the initiative to please a rookie. This kind of thing has never happened before.

Who is this Shay?

In fact, Shay himself was confused.

Does Terry Teague have schizophrenia?

Why are we so different in the morning and afternoon?

Only Sam Perkins smiled secretly.

This morning, he told Terry Teague:

"The core of the team next season is Shea, and the ball is in his hands.

Likewise, he has the right to decide who gets the opportunity.

You should weigh it yourself, I don't want to see you not being able to catch the ball next season.

Moreover, we will definitely play fast-paced offense and defense next season, and you should know the importance of a point guard to this system."

When Terry Teague heard this, he immediately regretted provoking Shay.

When Teague was playing offensive basketball with the Warriors in the 1989-90 season, Tim Hardaway, who controlled the ball, was willing to share the ball, and the game was fast-paced.

So Teague also took advantage of it and averaged a career-high 16 points per game.

He also relied on his performance that season to get an offer from the Lakers.

Last season, because Magic retired midway and the Lakers changed their position to attack and defend, Terry Teague's score instantly dropped to 9.9 points.

Not to mention that this regression is very obvious, it is also obvious.

His contract with the Lakers expires at the end of this season. If he still wants to make money, he will definitely need to improve his data.

Therefore, if Shea doesn't pass the ball to him, he won't get the dividends of offensive basketball!

After Sam Perkins gave this advice, Terry Teague's attitude towards Shay changed 180°.

Make money, don’t be shabby!

"Uh... drink Gatorade, and remember to tear off the packaging on the bottle for me." Shay was stunned for a moment, then answered Teague.

"Okay, come right away!" After saying that, Teague ran out of the locker room.

Next to Shay, Campbell stared at Shay with extremely admiring eyes:

"This...how did you do it!?"

Campbell admired Shai so much that he could train with Jordan and even let the veteran buy him drinks.

Shay, this is so impressive!

They are both rookies, why is the gap so big?

Shay smiled slightly: "Maybe it's my damn personality charm."

Campbell's three views have been refreshed. Go to the locker room culture. Whoever is stronger can set the culture!
