Now the Lakers' training hall is in the Staples Center Arena. Although it is close to the game venue, the place is not big and it is often inconvenient.

The newly built training hall is a composite stadium, which is used with ULA. It has invested more than 80,000 US dollars, including a gym, swimming pool and other facilities, and even a supporting cinema. To put it vividly, for the Lakers players, they have directly switched from a small single room to a composite luxury villa.

The Lakers players were wearing safety helmets and checked the construction of the arena with the on-site staff. Most of the places here have been completed, and the whole picture can be basically seen.

When I really saw the training hall, Tang Shuai was shocked by the luxury in front of me. This was simply a mini version of the Staples Center!

After the visit, they did not leave the training hall immediately, but organized to watch the promotional video of the training hall.

Tang Shuai was sitting in the front row and watching, when a staff member suddenly walked over to him, saying that the boss was looking for him.

After visiting the training hall, Jim Bass and Kupchek left, and didn't know what to do with him suddenly.

He followed the staff out with a puzzled look and arrived at an office next door. After entering, he found Bass sitting on the soft sand. Oppos opposite him, Kupchek was sitting upright, even Billups was there.

It looks like a small meeting?

"Tang, you are here, come, sit here."

After he went in, Kupchek, who was sitting aside, shouted at Tang Shuai, and then signaled him to sit next to him.

Tang Shuai nodded and walked to the sand and sat down.

"Tang, I'm here to find you today. I have something to ask for your opinion." After Tang Shuai sat down, Kupchek said.

Bass smiled and nodded at this time.

"Tell me."

"That's right, I discussed it with Changxi. Last season was over, but there were many problems. We are going to make some signings in the summer." Kupchek said bluntly.

After listening to what Kupchek said, Tang Shuai's eyes lit up. No wonder Bass is here too. It seems that this is a confidential meeting. If you call him too, it is considered an absolute trust in him.

"Of course, we will do some specific recruitment in the future. Today I just want to ask you some things about Yi Jianlian and Yi." Kupchek said.

Alian?

Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, but he immediately came to his senses. He really overestimated himself just now.

But he quickly asked: "The team, are you planning to sign Yi?"

"We are working in this direction. Over the past two summers, we have been in contact with Yi, especially when the Olympics were over last year, our negotiations were actually close to being reached, but there was no agreement on the details of the contract." Kupchek was honest and said everything directly.

After listening to what Kupchek said, Tang Shuai showed a hint of joy on his face. During the months he was training in the national team, the one that impressed him the most was Alian. Although he was dull, not good at speaking, and perhaps not too high in football, he is really a very hard-working player and practices more almost every day. With his talent, leaving the NBA early can be said to be a regret for many Chinese people.

Judging from what Kupchek means, the Lakers still hope to sign Yi Jianlian.

In fact, modern basketball is constantly expanding towards the direction of small balls, which is a good opportunity for Yi Jianlian, who has been away from the NBA for many years.

And although there is a year of age problem, with Yi Jianlian's physical fitness, it should not be a problem to fight for another three or four years.

Gasol will be 39 years old next season. Even if he can persist in playing for another season, he will never be able to fight like this season.

"Well, although I know him, I don't communicate much. If there is anything that can help the team, I will tell the truth." Tang Shuai nodded and said.

In the following time, Kupchek and Billups asked him some details about Yi Jianlian, including training intensity, physical fitness, and even work and rest time. It can be seen that they wanted to know about Yi Jianlian's current status in advance.

After obtaining this basic information, the conversation was almost over.

After it was over, and Billups came out of the office, Tang Shuai couldn't help but ask: "Changxi, what kind of contract will the Lakers give Yi Jianlian?"

This kind of thing is not suitable to ask, and Billups may not necessarily know it, but because the relationship between two people is an ordinary coach and a player, he only regards this as a chat between friends.

"I'm not very clear about this, but I heard it was a two-year contract. According to the current inside price, it would probably not be less than 8 million." Billups said it roughly, and it seemed that he was not very sure.

Tang Shuai nodded and did not ask again. If it was really the price he mentioned, it would definitely be a good thing for Alien, and it also gave him enough sincerity.

After visiting the training hall, Tang Shuai rushed back to the crew without stopping.

The plot of the second paragraph mainly tells the scene where Tang Shuai leads the Bunny Bugs to compete with monsters in appearance.

Although Tang Shuai helped the team to score continuously, the monsters with the strongest lineup in the world were playing Bugs Bunny and they couldn't find them at all. They were about to lose the game. At the critical moment, the supporting actress played by Lin Yuner appeared, and there were five historical figures who appeared with him. They took back their ability to be taken away by the monsters. In the end, the game ended with the crazy counterattack of Tang Shuai and Bugs Bunny. The monsters were imprisoned on Earth this time, and the movie finally ushered in a happy ending.

During the last part of the filming, Tang Shuai also met Kobe, Duncan, James, and Johnson, who were friendly guest appearances, and they got together and chatted for a while. After learning that Tang Shuai had received Jordan's special training, they all had greater expectations for him.

By the time the shooting of the venue was completed, it was already the end of June.

On June 28th, the NBA draft for the 2O17-2O18 season was held as scheduled at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Compared with last year, this year's starlight is significantly stronger. Last year, except for Simmons and Ingram, the starlight was almost dim, but after a small New Year, this year's "big New Year" also arrived as scheduled.

However, compared with the previous two years, this year's Chinese flavor seems to be much less.

Everyone was surprised by Tang Shuai's 15th pick. After that, Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin were both elected, it also made the Chinese people happy. However, this year, only one Zou Yuchen participated in the draft, and they were all defeated in the pre-match predictions.

Tang Shuai did not go to New York and ended the filming of the movie. He had to take a few days off to adjust his condition. After a few days, he would start personal training. After he was ready to synthesize the skill pack, his task this summer is not light at all. First, he would upgrade some skill packs to the normal version, and then upgrade the golden skill pack from blue to at least purple, which would take a lot of time.

He watched the live broadcast of the talent show at home.

Violent small forward Josh Jackson, known as the "second Kobe", was elected No. 1 pick in 2017 as he wished. With his talent, he is also in line with the tone of most people, and he is also ready to lead the Nets to rise strongly in the new season.

After Jackson, Jason Tatum and Marik Monk, famous rookies, also became the second place and Tanhua in the 2018th class as predicted.

In the same year, all the top three picks were defenders, which also created the history of draft picks in recent years.

From this we can also see that the league is ushering in today's league, and it is bound to usher in an even more unprecedented era of defenders.

Drafts are often accompanied by trades, but that is mostly for teams with unsatisfactory results. The Lakers reached the finals last season. According to the general rule, they should only make up for minor repairs this summer, but in the draft, their activeness is surprising.

He even made a deal that made the entire league tremble. Even Tang Shuai in front of the TV did not recover for a long time.

Before the draft began, the Lakers announced that they had first announced the waiver of Ruhr Deng (Deng signed a two-year contract with the Lakers during the offseason, and partial guarantees for the second year), which was already surprising because the veteran performed very well in the playoffs last season. Although the contract of 1.50,000 is a bit large, for a team, doing so is a bit unhuman, which is completely different from the impression the Lakers gave in the past (you should know that Kobe's annual contract salary before retirement was oo-million).

Then after the draft began, they immediately made a deal with the Suns, trading Mozgov, who had just signed last season, plus the 2019 round draft pick, to the Suns, in exchange for PJ Tucker and several expiring contracts, as well as an 80,000-yuan trade special case.

And it is very important that all the deals here do not involve this year's draft picks.

These abnormal actions also made other teams in the league understand something. The Lakers are preparing to show their skills in the next free agent market.

This year's free agents are unprecedented. Curry, Durant, Westbrook, Paul, Griffin and other top ten and even top five superstars have all expired contracts, not including players like Bogut, Iguodala, and Wiggins.

However, the Lakers' approach did not attract other teams to follow suit, because after these transactions were completed, the Lakers gave people the feeling that they were going to take a gamble. If they had no gains in the free agent market, they would really kill themselves.

Shuai Tang was also puzzled by Kupchek's approach, especially when he cut Deng, which was too risky and disheartening.

If this is done, will anyone in the free agent market dare to come?

Just as he was worried, time came on July 1, this summer of 2o17. After a year of silence, the free agent market finally opened its doors again. (To be continued.)8
