The remaining days were just for repairs, and Tang Qian didn't push the team too much, because this was the rest time in the last season, and the sprint was coming later. The only time to accelerate during the whole process was to step on the accelerator, and there was no chance of slowing down.
At that time, and Larry Brown also agreed to let this group of people rest, Tang Qian did not want to spoil the fun. However, he also made it very clear that he would not relax at all after returning to the team. Whoever wants to relax
, he is definitely not polite.
There is nothing wrong with making ugly remarks up front. Everyone can clearly know what to do next.
Tang Qian's period is all about training and spending time with his parents. Tang's father and Tang's mother were not out for a long time this time. They will return to China with Zhou Zhiru when the game starts. Zhou Zhiru also came very diligently during this period, which is better than any time Tang Qian had in the United States before.
All must be diligent. Don't get me wrong, there is no ambiguity or little story as imagined, just a normal old friend coming to visit, and Tang Qian breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of what Zhou Zhiru wanted? He was not too
He thinks highly of himself because he doesn't want anything else to get in the way now. His love life is enough, and he has to devote most of his energy to his court career. After the All-Star Game, it's time for each team to sprint. Don't look at the Lakers' current ranking.
They are third in the Western Conference, but they may still fall after a losing streak.
Even if they don't fall out of the top eight in the Western Conference, they will still lose their home court advantage, which is not a good thing in the brutal playoffs.
So when he saw that Zhou Zhiru had no other thoughts, he felt relieved.
Only when leaving, Zhou Zhiru suddenly hugged Tang Qian. She thought it was just an ordinary hug, but unexpectedly it lasted much longer than Tang Qian imagined. However, it was just a longer hug. Zhou Zhiru didn't care at all.
Instead of talking about emotional issues, she told Tang Qian that he should treat Taylor well and not get carried away thinking that he is a big star. Then, she smiled at Tang Qian and said: "You have to go further and further on this road.
Don’t live up to your choice.”
Tang Qian frowned and wanted to ask something, but Zhou Zhiru didn't give him a chance and drove away with Tang's father and Tang's mother.
Forget it, if you have anything to do, I can wait until then to call and ask. She is also my agent anyway, so she is not in a hurry.
The Lakers were relaxing, resting, training, studying tactics, and the management was not idle either. Finally, before the free market closed this season, a huge deal appeared. All major platforms released it
According to the news, the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Houston Rockets jointly conducted a three-party trade. The Rockets sent away their main All-Star center Dwight Howard, known as the "Warcraft", Beverley, and Jason
Terry and others, plus first-round picks and part of cash compensation. The Clippers gave away Chris Paul, Lance Stephenson, Jeff Green, etc., including draft picks. The Lakers
The team sent away D'Angelo Russell, Meeks, Farmar and some cash.
The general details of the transaction are as follows. The Rockets received Chris Paul and others. The Clippers received Howard, D'Angelo Russell and others. The Lakers received Beverley, Lance Stephenson and a first-round pick.
Of course, there will be details such as transaction exceptions, cash, etc. These are secondary. Anyway, the Lakers have already got the person they want.
At this moment, everyone was stunned, because the Lakers were "losing" no matter how they looked at it. In this era, Lance Stephenson is still worse than shit. During most of the season with the Clippers, he basically
They are all semi-wasted, with only 4+2+1 data. This is basically similar to the original time and space. With the thorny personality, no one will want it in the last year of the contract year. In fact, the original time and space are similar.
Next season is going to be an era of contract explosion, and he only costs about US$4 million! It’s basically a bargain price. So no one thinks highly of him and regards him as an addition. It’s normal. Still not sure? He will play in the original time and space.
No one implemented the team contract options for the season, so he directly became a free agent, and then joined the Pelicans for $1.23 million in one year.
This is the development trajectory of Lance Stephenson next season. It is said that adding another head will give him an advantage. At that time, he was simply at a level that no one in the NBA wanted. Moreover, he was waived by the Pelicans not long ago and was used by the Timberwolves.
He was signed to a 10-day short contract and returned to the Pacers after signing twice. This is what he will be like next season. He almost became a "tramp".
The Lakers got him without any effort, but the Clippers didn't like him and wanted to send him away. The main reason was to get Beverley from the Rockets, which cost a lot of money. After all, Beverley once won the defensive 2
The players in the team are very defensive. So it took a long time to get it done. However, the Lakers must send out the so-called potential rookie D'Angelo Russell. Russell's "garbage time" performance against the Cavaliers in the last game
He scored 16 points and shot 100% from the field. It seemed that he was energized by the sight of him. In addition, he was also loudmouthed by the outside world, saying that he needed a stage to shine, so many teams were extremely interested in him. And they think he
His future potential is very strong, and the Lakers also "push and delay", saying that it is very difficult. In disguise, it has increased a lot of this guy's trade value. In the end, what the Clippers want is not Howard. After Howard's contract expires this season, they
There is no intention to retain Jordan. Jordan is no worse than the current Howard, but it is not impossible to try the Twin Towers first. The main target is still this potential new star at the No. 1 position. Russell Paul felt that after the last disastrous defeat to the Lakers, he felt
It was "gloomy" and I felt that it would be difficult for me to make any progress if I stayed with the Clippers, so I simply proposed a trade. The Clippers tried to persuade Paul for a long time, but when they saw that Paul was determined to leave, they no longer tried to persuade him to stay, because in fact, after so many years,
The Clippers have been traveling in the first and second rounds, and there are some dissatisfaction above. After the rise of the Lakers this season, the absolute top three in the Western Conference have formed. The Warriors, Spurs, Lakers, and the Clippers are difficult to beat. In this case, we might as well
So they followed Paul's wishes and demolished it and rebuilt it.
It's not impossible to get a young No. 1 player and train him well.
There has been no breakthrough, so we have to seek change, right? That’s why this big three-party deal came about.
The Rockets are also eager to send Howard away. Now the atmosphere in the locker room between him and Harden is terrible. They must make a decision early. And obviously, the Houstonian's choice is to become the younger James Harden. Howard
The bargaining chip was put on the trading table by Morey. After Howard learned that he was leaving the Rockets, he also made lies, saying that he would make Houston regret it.
But in fact, in the original time and space, Howard basically said this every season. What I have regained my health. What I want to get back what I lost. What I am still one of the strongest insiders in the league, etc.
. There are a lot of big words, but it is a fact that his abilities have shrunk. He wanted to replace James alone like during the Magic period, which has long become a thing of the past.
Therefore, it seems that the Lakers have the least vested interests at the moment. After all, the Clippers and Rockets have both received a real star player and the so-called super potential No. 1. What about the Lakers? A player currently worth $6.5 million.
Beverley, Lance Stephenson, who basically no team in the league wants. As for the draft picks, neither team will be that high.
The Lakers lost money. This news is the consensus of many people.
Everyone believes that the Lakers not only lost the two roles of the substitutes, but also Russell, who has just begun to show his potential. In addition, Russell boasted that his talent was simply buried in the Lakers. The Lakers'
It affected his own growth. At the same time, he also challenged the Lakers management and team: I will lead the Clippers back to the top! Defeat the Purple and Gold Army!
Don’t think that it’s just this time and space that he plays like this. In fact, the original time and space is the same. These are what he said, with just slight modifications. It seems that the inertia and correction ability of history are still very strong. Like La
A player like Serge, who is not very smart and has low emotional intelligence, is truly a "second force" in any time and space.
The Clippers actually support this guy and think he is very "young and heroic". What else can I say?
Well, Tang Qian just answered the media's question speechlessly: I hope he can really do it, we will wait for them in the playoffs.
However, first, they must be able to maintain their spot in the playoffs.
As for the addition of new players, Tang Qian also welcomed it. He said that the Lakers need anyone who wants to win and play hard.
This is equivalent to secretly praising Beverley and Lance Stephenson. Tang Qian's current boss skills have indeed improved a lot. Not only on the court, but also off the court.
On February 18th, US time, the Lakers conducted daily training. After relaxing for so long, everyone should take it easy. In addition, new teammates are joining, so today Larry Brown asked the whole team to come early.
Toyota Sports Center.
"I believe everyone has had enough rest. In the remaining time, put your energy and desire on basketball. At least until June this year, I will not allow you to think about other things. Do you understand?" Larry.
Brown expressed great ambition in his first training after returning to the team. Before June next year? Doesn't that mean that at least the Lakers will reach this year's finals?
That's really not a bad tone. Both Beverly and Lance Stephenson thought to themselves.
After talking about his goals and directions, Larry Brown turned to look at Beverly and Lance Stephenson and said: "Two newcomers, my memory is not very good. I only remember hard work and tough guys.
Are you?"
"Of course sir, of course we are tough men!" Neither of them has a good temper. Otherwise, they would not have such a bad reputation in the league. But Larry Brown also has a bad temper and doesn't care about this at all.
With eyes closed, he said calmly: "Words alone can't explain anything. Until you prove yourself, just sit on the bench. When can the team's system be integrated into it?
Get playing time."
"What? You're not even going to let us play? You..." Lance Stephenson couldn't stand it at first. His temper is notoriously bad. "Yes, ma'am, that's what I meant. You
Don't you understand? "Is Larry Brown still afraid of him? What kind of tough guy has he never coached? What kind of tough guy has he never faced? Is Iverson tough enough? Isn't Ben Wallace tough enough?
Isn't he just doing what he should? He doesn't even know what it means to be afraid and bow his head?
Especially for newcomers, he has this attitude, I'm sorry, I don't have any privileges.
"You..." Lance Stephenson was about to take a step forward and use his height, size and momentum to oppress Larry Brown. Unfortunately, Larry Brown took a step forward first and said, "Sissy~ Do you think you
Very cool? You little fool, if I were here, I could call you daddy in no time. Do you think you are tough?" Lance Stephenson has never seen such a tough head coach, so
Suddenly he got mad, and he was about to break out and scare the old man. Suddenly, he felt as if he had been hit by a truck. He backed away a long way before he could regain his balance. He looked up and said angrily: "What are you doing?
?Bullying?"
This tall oriental figure looked down at him and said very calmly: "Speak carefully, this is the coach."
"What kind of boss do you really think you are? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
A thorn is a thorn, but no one from the Lakers team came over to start a fight. They all looked like they were watching a big show, which made Lance Stephenson confused. This is wrong, why didn't he come over to start a fight?
Are these people in the Lakers just showing off? Did Ren Ping get into a fight within the team?
If he looked more carefully, he would realize that these were looks of pity and sympathy.
There is no worry or fear that the situation will get out of control.
