Chapter 537 [The Autobiography of the Zen Master, I Have No Confidence]

Guo Xu immediately called Robert Smith and recommended Amber Heard to join the new film. Robert agreed, and there was a role that needed to be played by a young and beautiful girl.

After leaving Amber's phone, Guo Xu politely invited her out of the private room, and asked her to go back to Los Angeles to wait for the notice that the movie would be filmed in the summer vacation in Los Angeles.

Amber went back to the hotel in a daze, and didn't receive a call or text message from Guo Xu until the evening, confirming that Guo Xu did not have "unspoken rules" about his thoughts. Guo Xu asked her that question in front of people to deliberately attract a group of old blacks to coax, if she expressed her willingness to be submerged on that occasion, ten percent would be driven away, who would dare to ignore this kind of person?

For Guo Xu, a master of amphibious, La Amber is a trivial matter, and he doesn't need anything in return.

Even if he wants to sneak anyone, he will only be in the time loop, and in reality he attaches great importance to image. Besides, he knew that Amber was not a fuel-efficient lamp. In her previous life, in addition to divorce, she also had a lot of negative news.

Of course, there is no harm in Guo Xu asking her to make a movie, it will be a big gimmick when she becomes famous in the future, and people will find that there are big-name actors in every Megan's movie in the future, how interesting it is.

Guo Xu believes that Amber will definitely become famous, in her previous life, she could get into blockbusters on her own, and she will definitely become famous faster with resources.

The stars were more relaxed on Friday, mainly attending media conferences, and this year's focus was on the "Lakers Big Three."

O'Neill steals the show, answering questions with hilarious and gunpowder rhetoric.

As soon as the reporter came up, he asked O'Neal if he would shake Kobe's hand before the game, and O'Neal's answer was: "I don't sit at home all day thinking about it." ”

For Lakers general manager Kupchak, O'Neal is even more unkind. When the reporter asked, he pretended not to have heard of the name, and someone next to him reminded him that Kupchak was the general manager of the Lakers, and O'Neal pretended to suddenly realize and said: "Is that the idiot who didn't renew Jason's contract?" I'm better than him as a manager. ”

One reporter asked, "What do you think of the book 'The Last Season'?" Is Phil Jackson's portrayal of you and Jason and Kobe Bryant real? ”

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson published his autobiography "The Last Season" this year, which sold very well, and it broke a lot of insider stories about the Lakers' 2000-04 season. Jackson used a diary to describe Guo Xu, O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant in his eyes, as well as their relationship.

"I read that book." O'Neill laughed: "Phil knows us very well, he doesn't scribble, and I think the only thing that's not true enough is that he didn't expect the results of the three teams this season. ”

The reporter asked: "So Kobe Bryant is really unsociable?" ”

"Or else? Could it be that he has no friends because everyone is jealous of his pointed face? Our faces are all too round? ”

That autobiography greatly damaged Bryant's reputation, causing him to be subject to more controversy and criticism.

Jackson praised Guo Xu and O'Neal, especially Guo Xu for taking up a lot of space, what he said in the team, some small details.

"Jason is the best player I've ever met, he's not like a young man at all, he's been a great time with him, it's been so easy with him, he's got the right thing to do and he's willing to do it," Jackson said. ”

"Kobe Bryant is different, he likes to put himself above the interests of the team, but he also knows that he sometimes has to sacrifice a little bit of himself. He knows the basic rules of basketball he is playing, and he knows ...... I have to believe that the truth is, he knows all this. He wants to do great records and great stats, and then when it's time to compete for a championship, he decides to play a little bit of reasonable basketball. ”

Jackson harshly criticized Kobe Bryant, calling him "the most unmanageable player."

To put it bluntly, Kobe Bryant is a man who knows how to "play basketball right", and he can play extremely smart and efficient, but many times, as people know, he tends to be willful and show his selfishness.

Jackson also mentioned. Jason Kwok has often helped Kobe Bryant on the team, and has also given a lot of advice on his wedding off the court, and has successfully improved the relationship between him and his teammates. But as soon as Jason left the Lakers, Kobe Bryant cut off contact with him, and even regarded him as an enemy, because Kobe wanted to prove that he was better. ”

There are many places in the book that it is pointed out how Kobe Bryant fell out with his teammates again and again. He has been interviewed many times and publicly criticized his teammates, but if his teammates say that he is not good, he goes crazy.

For example, just before the playoffs began, an anonymous player's words appeared in the newspaper criticizing Kobe's performance on the court. He took that newspaper in the locker room and roared at everyone one by one: "It's now, I want to know who the son of a bitch raised!" ”

No one spoke, and in the end Karl Malone couldn't help it. "Kobe, obviously no one will admit it, you just forget it."

Kobe Bryant immediately had a big fight with Malone, suspecting that it was Malone, and finally Jackson had to come out to stop it.

One thing Jackson shows in the book is that Kobe Bryant made a mess in the Lakers locker room, and it was all too normal for them to be swept.

At the end of the book, Jackson also expresses his frustration.

It was a day I'll never forget, I was out of work. Honestly, it doesn't surprise me, but anything that gets to this stage is terrible.

I can't help but think back to the conversation I had with Kobe Bryant back in February, when I was still trying to save our relationship and the team's season. It was a tense atmosphere, but Bryant and I finally got through these four difficult months. When I talk to him again today, the tension is gone, and we both know that I will never be his coach again.

Kupchak, Kobe and I bumped heads. I said to Kobe that I was grateful that he was able to put our clash aside and deal with the season at all times, and Kupchak lost no time in praising him. Then he said he had decided to become a free agent, and everyone fell silent.

I finally asked the one I had always wanted to ask him. "Can the presence or absence of me influence your decision?"

He said he didn't think I should think about him when I was thinking about my future.

"I'm planning to retire." I say.

He raised an eyebrow. I sensed his emotions for the first time in this conversation, and he must have been very happy.

"Really?" He asked.

I nodded. "Does Shaq's stay have any effect on your decision?"

"There's no doubt that I'm not going to continue to be a supporting actor," he said. ”

His point of view was certainly not surprising at all, but it surprised me to hear him say it himself. I told Kobe Bryant that I wanted him to have fun with basketball and life, and that was the end of our conversation.

I can understand why the Lakers see Kobe Bryant as their most valuable asset, and his ability to control a game and put on incredible performances at times is an unmatched talent. But Bryant was just an employee of the team, and he needed guidance. Bryant forgot to be part of the team, and sometimes he had to make a little sacrifice and make concessions.

I don't know if he'll be able to win a championship in the future, but when Jason Guo exists in this league, there's no doubt that Jason is a better player than him.

This book upset Kobe Bryant, but he couldn't refute it, because these things really happened.

Guo Xu commented on the book with a smile: "It's so popular, I think Phil wrote a bit exaggerated, especially the last paragraph." ”

The reporter asked: "Don't you have the confidence to be the best player you can be?" ”

"No, I don't have the confidence to win all the championships, everyone else can compete for it."
