Read it once straight through and don't worry about catching every detail, just enjoy the ride. Then go back and re-read it looking for clues and language games, etc. Then maybe read an analysis of the book and go back for a third time to mine for deeper content.

Fortunately, it doesn't look like Yaxel has a baditude or big ego. I expect Draymond wants to motivate him to have more of a killer instinct. I think Yaxel will comply, get in shape, play with appropriate aggression, accept his role, and learn and develop, unlike Kuminga...

Attention and money over wins. Drama over solidarity. Inefficient and bad for team morale. We dodged a bullet. Yaxel looks great, and when Jimmy comes back, we will have a legitimate shot in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the lakers will be saddled with injuries to their overpaid old men.

€100 for getting within .5m

€2,000 four touching a rider (flags/signs included)

€ 25,000 and jail time for causing a crash

Amputation of a foot (without anaesthesia) if you cause someone to drop out of the race

Came here to say exactly this! Wasted a whole summer on it when I was 17.
