Chapter 1034: New Player!

Los Angeles, USA. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Staples Arena is located on the basement level of the training arena.

In fact, a few days ago, the team players had begun to return to the team one after another, do some training, and prepare for the preseason, only a few people, such as Kobe Bryant, Chen Feng, Yu Qian, etc., only returned to the team today.

Everyone stood together, with Scott in front of them, as well as a couple of assistant coaches.

Looking at everyone, Scott said: "Today, Chen and Kobe Bryant also returned to the team, and there are more than that." At this point, our players have arrived, and there is still more than half a month to go until pre-season, so I hope everyone can train well. Especially for some of the new players, pre-season is still very important for you, it is a test and an opportunity, so you have to seize this opportunity. ā€

Everyone looked at Scott, including Yu Qian, and several new team members nodded in unison.

"Alright. Scott added, "We've got a couple of new players this year, and I'm sure some of them already know each other. I'll reintroduce it today. He looked at one of them, and the man stepped forward, and Scott introduced, "This is David West." ā€

"Hello everyone. David West said hello to the crowd.

In fact, there is no need for Scott's introduction, and everyone is no stranger to David West.

Originally, David West was in the Spurs, but this year the Spurs traded him out, and the Lakers also happened to need an insider, and David West's contract amount is very low, just a veteran contract, which is very cost-effective.

Last season, Randle played okay, although there are still a lot of problems, but he also performed okay at the power forward position, he is still young and has potential after all.

So the Lakers didn't want to change the starting power forward, but found an "old comrade-zhi" like David West to bring Randle.

After David West, there is Jose Calderon, who comes from the Knicks and is a traditional playmaker, and the Lakers mean to use him as a backup for Chen Feng.

The third is a rookie, selected by the Lakers with the No. 20 pick in the first round this year, a first-year student from Marquette University, Henry Allonson, who is a 211-centimeter tall interior liner.

Originally, the Lakers wanted to seek a strong interior line in the free agent market, such as Beasley Biyombo, Al Horford, Segill Ibaka, etc.

As for Gasol and Howard, it's not that the Lakers don't want to, it's just that people definitely don't want to, they are all players who have played in the Lakers, and good horses don't eat back grass, right?

It's just that in the end, for various reasons, the Lakers failed to recruit one, so they could only pick an interior line in the draft as a supplement to Hibbert.

In addition, this summer, the Lakers also thought about recruiting superstars such as Dwyane Wade and Kevin Durant, but without exception, they all failed.

Wade's offer was slightly higher, and the Lakers didn't agree at first, intending to save the money and pursue a younger, more potential player, preferably an interior player.

But in the end, nothing came of it, and when he looked back, Wade had reached an agreement with others, transferred to the Bulls, and formed a new Big Three with Rose and Butler.

As for Durant, the Lakers were not stingy with money and offered a sky-high contract, but Durant only had the championship in his eyes, looked down on the Lakers, and thought that the Lakers could not help him win the championship, so he rejected the Lakers and joined the Warriors instead.

After some chase and trade, the Lakers suddenly found that they had nothing but to trade a veteran West and a backup point guard Calderon.

This annoyed the Lakers management, but there was nothing they could do.

After introducing the three people in front of him, Scott looked at Yu Qian, Yu Qian stepped forward and said to everyone: "Hello everyone, I am Yu Qian, you can call me Yu." ā€

Everyone smiled and nodded to him, some with kind expressions, some with cold attitudes, especially those who overlapped with Yu Qian's position, with an instinctive rejection of him.

And this is not surprising.

This summer, although Yu Qian did not participate in the draft, his name did not fade out of people's eyes because of this, but was repeatedly talked about and talked about.

By the time the Olympics are over, with his amazing performance in the Olympics, his strength has been recognized by many people.

It is said that even NBA president Adam Shaw specifically approached the Lakers management and asked them to give Yu Qian fair and just treatment.

And for those on the Lakers who overlap with Yu Qian, this is not good news.

With Yu Qian's current fame, if he can play again, maybe he can enter the starter, then someone will definitely be reduced from the starter to the substitute, and he will naturally not be happy.

But this is also a common thing, the NBA is originally a business league, people come and go, trade and be traded, ascend and be powered, staged every day.

This year, the Lakers have four more people, and Ci Shiping from the original lineup left, so now the Lakers have a total of 18 people.

When the preseason is over and the regular season begins, the Lakers will need to cut three more people.

So for some people, this period of time will also be a test, and if they are finally laid off, it will be a shame.

Of course, Yu Qian has no such worries, the contract he signed with the Lakers is relatively special, with a low salary, but it restricts the Lakers, and he cannot be cut or traded.

After introducing everyone, Scott clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's train now." ā€

One by one, the crowd dispersed.

Yu Qian is naturally with Chen Feng, as well as Kobe, and Larry Nance Jr. also came over, he has always been Chen Feng's loyal brother, and he is also the most friendly person to Yu Qian in the team, except for Kobe and Chen Feng.

A group of players began training......

"Nance, do you want to train with me?" Chen Feng looked at Larry Nance Jr., who sometimes took Nance with him.

"Okay. Larry Nance Jr. laughed.

Everyone looked at Chen Feng and saw that in addition to Chen Feng and Larry Nance Jr., Yu Qian also trained together. But Kobe Bryant is not like them, just doing his own training.

Seeing this, a group of players couldn't help but be a little surprised, they all knew Chen Feng's training intensity, and Larry Nance Jr. could only barely keep up.

This is also why Kobe Bryant and Chen Feng train together, but they both practice separately, Kobe Bryant is in his thirties after all, and he can't be the same as Chen Feng.

But seeing Yu Qian and Chen Feng doing the same training together, a group of Lakers players were naturally a little surprised, could he persevere?

"Impossible. ā€

"Chan is a freak, and I don't believe that guy can be like him. ā€

"He's just like Nance, acting like that. Chen's training intensity is so intense, I'm afraid he won't even be able to complete half of it. ā€

One by one, the players whispered, unimpressed.
