The pre-season is over. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the next few days, the Lakers will be preparing intensively, and the regular season will start on October 26, although there will be no Lakers game on the first day, but as long as the regular season starts, it means that the journey of this season has officially begun.

For a few days, the players trained silently, but the atmosphere in the team was a little weird, and now there were 18 people in the team, and three had to be cut, but I don't know which three.

"I heard that the decision has been made."

"What? Which three people? ”

"I don't know about this, no news has been revealed, but it must have been confirmed. David West should be able to stay, and the others don't know. ”

In the training arena, the players whispered.

For most players, it doesn't affect them anything, their position is solid and nothing will change.

Of course, it's not all without threat for some, and with the regular season just around the corner, Scott is almost ready to decide on his starting lineup.

In this lineup, Chen Feng and Kobe Bryant are undoubtedly there.

Apart from the two of them, Hibbert's starting position should be untouchable, and several of the team's centers are not very good, and no one can compete with him.

In addition, Randle's position as a power forward should also be relatively secure, which can be seen from the Lakers' trade for David West, and the management is more optimistic about him.

In this way, the candidates for positions 1, 2, 4, and 5 have all been decided, and only the number 3 position remains.

People look at Yu Qian and Clarkson from time to time, although there are not only two of them in the team who can play small forwards, but only the two of them seem to be able to compete.

Needless to say, Yu Qian's performance is the most playing time in the team's eight preseason games, averaging 23.3 points per game, which is an amazing performance.

And Clarkson is also good, averaging 16.5 points per game in the preseason, and he also contributed a lot to the team last season, and has long proven his worth, Scott has to consider this, so it is still unknown who will be the starting small forward.

As for Nick Young and Larry Nance Jr., they are somewhat inferior to Yu Qian and Clarkson, and it is unlikely.

In addition, the more nervous is Louis Williams, who has heard some news that the team may trade him, but so far the team has not talked to him, and he doesn't know what the management means, is it a trade or not a trade?

If you don't trade, what role should you play in the team?

No matter who becomes the starter between Clarkson and Yu Qian, the other will inevitably become a substitute, and with their strength, Williams, the core of the second team, may not be very stable.

Chen Feng and Yu Qian were sitting together, also talking about this issue.

"Do you think you'll be able to get into the starting lineup?" Chen Feng asked, somewhat worried about Yu Qian, and even he didn't hear any news.

"How do I know?" Yu Qian loosened his shoulders and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you don't get into the starter, as long as you have enough playing time." ”

"You're calm enough." Chen Feng rolled his eyes.

It was at this time that Scott and a couple of assistant coaches walked over.

Everyone immediately gathered around Scott, who held a folder in his hand, exchanged a look with several assistant coaches, and said, "Louis Williams, Ryan Kelly, Talek Black, Anthony Brown, you guys go to the conference room." ”

Several people were shocked in their hearts, and they all looked at each other, and they all had a bad feeling.

The others also looked at a few people, four in all, so it is likely that three of them will be laid off, and as for the fourth...... Everyone looked at Louis Williams and wondered in their hearts, could it be that the news revealed before was true and that he was going to be traded?

Louis Williams walked to the conference room with his head down and a teaching assistant followed.

After a few people left, Scott said, "Okay, don't guess." You should already get the idea, yes, Ryan Kelly, Talek Black, Anthony Brown, all three of them will be cut. In addition, Louis Williams will be traded to the Rockets in exchange for an interior liner. ”

Everyone was shocked, and sure enough!

Scott doesn't have a lot of expression, people come and go, trade and get traded, new people join, or players are cut, it's a daily occurrence, it's played out every year, it's nothing.

Even if he is the head coach, if it weren't for Chen Feng joining last season, the Lakers' record has improved a lot and they have reached the playoffs in one fell swoop, I'm afraid he would have to leave.

Thinking of this, Scott glanced at Chen Feng, then at Yu Qian, and said, "Okay, our lineup is basically like this." Now I'm going to announce the regular starters, center Hibbert, power forward Randle, small forward Yu, scoring guard Kobe, and playmaker Chen. ”

Hearing this list, the players were taken aback again, and Clarkson's position as the starting small forward was replaced by Yu.

Clarkson's face is a little ugly, he was a starter almost every game last season, and now he has suddenly changed from a starter to a substitute, and he feels very uncomfortable.

However, Scott immediately added: "Clarkson, you will replace Louis Williams as the core of the second team. ”

"Yes." Clarkson promised that being the core of the second team meant that his playing time and shooting power would not be reduced, but he was still unhappy.

Even if it's the core of the second team, it's only the second team in the end.

In fact, the Lakers management has been hesitant about whether to trade Louis Williams, but with Yu Qian's performance in the preseason, the Lakers management has made up its mind and decided to support Yu Qian to the position, so Clarkson will inevitably have to give way.

In order to give Clarkson a step and to keep this promising young man, the Lakers finally decided to trade Louis Williams.

This lineup has been decided, and it will be used as a regular lineup this season, and the inside and outside lines are relatively balanced.

When everyone dispersed, Scott found Clarkson and began to do ideological work for Clarkson, although he fell into the second team, but after all, his position in the team is still very important, and when Kobe Bryant retires, he still has a chance to be corrected and become a starting point guard.

After some enlightenment from Scott, Clarkson finally understood that the matter had come to this point, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, it would be useless, and it was better to do it well.

Whether it's the first team or the second team, being able to play value can be valued, and if you can become a starting point guard in the future, that's the best. If not, as long as he plays a result, he will have a chance to go to other teams.
