【Chapter 984】 Breaking News (Subscription Requested!)

On September 6th, it was the time for the Lakers to gather, and on this day, major media in Los Angeles, the United States, and China sent reporters to Staples Arena to take family photos of the team!

Although the Lakers have not made the playoffs for two consecutive years in the past two years, and even played the worst record in history last season, it is undeniable that the Lakers are still one of the most interesting teams in the entire league.

Especially this year, Xiao Feng became the owner of the Lakers, and left Jeremy Lin, the 'light of the Chinese', so that the Lakers are still the focus of attention of the Chinese media.

So, early in the morning, 200 reporters from nearly 100 media rushed to Staples to wait for the players to arrive and watch the team's first public training session.

For the arrival of the media, the Lakers management has long been prepared, after all, the Lakers have always been the darlings of the media, especially in the team's glory moments. Now the team has temporarily fallen into the doldrums, but the team is once again the most popular team in the league, and it is just around the corner.

Every year on the team's training day, Staples has only one owner, even if the Clippers are better than the Lakers now, but they will actively avoid the Lakers' training day. It can be seen that the status of the Lakers in Los Angeles is not comparable to the Clippers.

When the reporters set up the machine, a car began to arrive at the stadium, and today's training day was officially started.

The first to arrive at the arena was head coach Scott, who had led the Nets to the Finals due to a poor record in the past two years, and the coach who had led the Nets to the Finals was under a lot of pressure.

In fact, the Lakers are like the Real Madrid of football, it is the focus of the media and the public, whether it is the players or the coaches, it is not easy. The manager, in particular, is sitting in the crater. If the team has a good record, that's because you have a good hand, and if the record is bad, the manager tends to be the scapegoat.

In the past two years, discerning people have seen that it is Kobe's poor body and stubborn fighting spirit that have dragged down the Lakers, but whether it is the media or fans. All put the blame on Scott.

Therefore, the head coach of the Lakers is not good, after all, not everyone is a Zen master!

But today, it seems that Scott, who is in a suit and leather shoes, is smiling and looks in a good mood!

As Scott entered the arena, the ABC reporter took the time to ask a question about the team's outlook for the new season.

"We're going to take back the honor that belongs to Los Angeles!" Scott didn't say much directly, but he was confident!

Although the reporters present were unimpressed, Scott's decisive answer and firm confidence. It still makes everyone look forward to the new season.

After all, in this summer, the Lakers have attracted a lot of powerful players through trades and drafts, and even if Kobe Bryant's physical condition is not good, there should be no problem in making the playoffs.

The first Lakers player to arrive at the arena was Jeremy Lin, who appeared in front of reporters in a Volvo S80L, and he was the face of Volvo's signing. When Jeremy Lin stepped out of the car, a cockscomb blinded the eyes of reporters and fans, and various flashing lights were connected.

Last season. Jeremy Lin averaged 11.2 points and 4.6 assists per game. The performance was decent, but because of the Chinese elements on his body, Xiao Feng still offered him a big contract of 50 million for 5 years.

However, this summer, Xiao Feng has begun to intervene in Lin's training and treatment, and his physical fitness has improved, and the impact of the injury has been minimized. This will be quite positive for him in the new season.

In the face of the media and fans, Jeremy Lin is obviously quite happy, after all, after so many teams, he can finally settle down, and it is such a big contract. These two months. With the help of the physiotherapist and nutritionist sent by the boss, Jeremy Lin clearly felt that his body had improved and he was full of confidence for the future.

Subsequently, Randle, Clarkson, Brown and other players also arrived at the stadium one after another, and the enthusiasm of the media for these role players is average, but it will not be deliberately snubbed. As for some marginal figures and water cooler keepers who can't be named by fans or even professional media, there is a lack of interest.

In fact, this is also the cruelty of competitive sports, there will be 18 players on the entire Lakers team on today's training day, but only 13 will be on the regular season roster in the end.

After all, not every player has the potential to become a second Jeremy Lin, and the media's attention never lingers on some players who play soy sauce.

In the decades-long history of the NBA, Jeremy Lin was the only one who broke out the day before his 10-day short-term contract was cut, and finally won a 10 million contract!

When Aldridge appeared at the arena in his elongated Humvee, the reporters couldn't help but get excited, after all, he was an All-Star.

Last season, Aldridge led the Trail Blazers to the Western Conference semifinals, and in the face of the Spurs' four-year 87 million contract, he chose the Lakers with a lower price, which also made the Lakers' media and fans feel good about him.

In an interview with the media, Aldridge admired Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, believing that it was the most important choice of his career, and it was his dream to play at Staples Arena.

Of course, Aldridge also thinks that the Lakers are not competitive enough for a championship because they don't really know the team yet.

With the arrival of Aldridge, the team leaders including Nash, Hibbert, and Ciseping also arrived at the stadium in their luxury cars and gave a brief interview to the media.

Towns, the champion who drove his newly purchased Land Rover, is the fourth champion in history to be selected by the Lakers, and in front of him is the NBA's first superstar Baylor, Magic Johnson and NB Hall of Famer Worthy, which also makes his every move a lot of attention.

In the summer league, Towns performed quite well, averaging 18 points and 11 rebounds per game, although he is not a dominant center like O'Neal, but the strategy, defense and ball intelligence are quite good, and the outside world is unanimously optimistic about him.

Although the Lakers brought in Hibbert and Gasol, Towns' playing time will be reduced, but it is still good for his growth. If he can grow quickly, the Lakers can choose not to sign Hibbert next season. With him and Gasol forming the twin towers, the team's record will not drop too much!

Perhaps it was an appointment, with the Lakers' bench, young players and role players coming to the arena first, while Maxu Gasol and Kobe Bryant, the biggest names, were belated.

As the younger brother of Pau Gasol, Mark has always been well-known in the United States, and he chose the Lakers. It also made the citizens of Los Angeles have a sharp increase in their favorability towards him. Therefore, when he appeared, the fans at the scene cheered.

Like his older brother, the tall Mark appeared very humble, singing praises to the Lakers and Kobe Bryant in media interviews, and brought his brother's greetings and expectations for the Lakers.

Regardless, Mark's first steps into Los Angeles were quite successful!

Team boss Kobe Bryant drove his favorite black Lamborghini to the training camp, and reporters flocked to try to interview him.

Don't look at Kobe Bryant, who has gradually lost his dominance in the past two years due to age, injuries and other reasons. But he's still Jordan's best performer since he retired.

Originally, LeBron had a chance to surpass Kobe's status in the NBA, but his hesitation and repetition made him lose this opportunity, even if the Cavaliers now have a big three and are still competitive for the championship, but his evaluation among fans and the media has been invisibly lowered several notches.

Especially in this year's Finals, the Cavaliers were defeated by Curry's three-point rain, which undoubtedly aggravated the impression that 'LeBron was overwhelmed'.

Perhaps, in the future, LeBron's championship ring will surpass Kobe. But he still couldn't win the same status as Kobe.

However, the media and the public do not know about it now. With Xiao Feng joining the NBA, LeBron has completely lost the opportunity to surpass Kobe!

"We've lost our competitiveness in the last two seasons, and that's not what we're really capable of!" Bryant said outside the arena as he spoke to the media, "We've had a lot of great teammates this year. We're going to be going to win the championship! My own body has fully recovered after six months of treatment and adjustment, and I feel as good as I did 10 years ago!"

Media reporters are always sensitive to this number 10 years ago, when Kobe Bryant was still a lone ranger. Without Gasol's assistance, he struggled to stand alone at the peak of his career. But even so, in the 05-06 season, Kobe Bryant still played a great game, scoring 81 points in the open court surpassed Jordan's 69 points, approaching the 100 points of the ancient god Chamberlain.

Although reporters are speculating that Kobe Bryant is just a reckless scene, looking at Kobe's confident appearance, everyone feels a little suspicious!

Just when everyone was about to interview Kobe, Kobe shouted a sentence, which immediately stunned everyone.

"Wait a minute, we're going to meet the last teammate on the team!"

Everyone turned their heads for some reason and found a team of Audi teams slowly driving over, and reporters who were quite familiar with Los Angeles immediately recognized that it was the car of Lakers owner Xiao Feng.

This time, everyone thinks that Kobe Bryant will be a man, and if he includes the boss in the team list, he will naturally be able to gain the favor of the boss.

"I'm glad that everyone can come to Staples Arena to participate in the Lakers' training day, and our goal for the new season is to win the championship!" Standing beside Kobe Bryant, Xiao Feng confidently announced the Lakers' goals for the new season to the public, and Xiao Feng is full of confidence in this.

At this time, the media reporters and fans at the scene finally had some commotion, after all, the public goal means that the Lakers have enough confidence, but relying on the current configuration of these players, it is indeed enough!

Could it be that Kobe Bryant is really back to health?

But when it comes to Kobe Bryant's 39-year-old age, everyone present feels that it is unlikely, after all, time is a pig-killing knife!

"In the new season, I will join the team with a basic salary and compete in the NBA!" When Xiao Feng finished saying this, the atmosphere on the scene was almost frozen, and even after Xiao Feng and Kobe Bryant turned around and entered the arena, everyone had not reacted.

In the history of the NBA, there has never been a history of the owner playing in person, and a small boss like Jordan is not the same as Xiao Feng!

Xiao Feng plays in the NBA, this is not a joke, right?

In the information of the reporters, Xiao Fengke has never received any professional basketball training, nor has he played in any professional team, but now he is joining the Lakers?

Could it be that Xiao Feng will become the team's water cooler keeper and mascot, maybe this is just a marketing method for the Lakers or to fulfill Xiao Feng's personal wishes?

After a long time, the reporters recovered from the shock given by Xiao Feng, and everyone realized that this would be big news, and hurriedly rushed to the stadium, hoping to get more information.

At this time, some fans and reporters also found that the height gap between Xiao Feng and Kobe, who walked side by side, was not large, and Xiao Feng's arm length, shoulder width and other physical conditions did not seem to be bad.

And just like that, amid all sorts of speculation from reporters and a large number of fans, the first open training session of the Lakers' training day began.

Everyone found out that Xiao Feng really wore the Lakers' jersey to play, and he also wore No. 23, which caused a lot of commotion at the scene.

After all, the number 23 has a special willingness for the NBA, and not every player can withstand the tremendous pressure that comes with this number.

originally thought that Xiao Feng was just a symbolic game, but people found that Xiao Feng dribbled the ball and looked good, and when he was warming up, the three-point shot was a good shot!

Most of the reporters who have been covering the NBA for a long time have some vision, and Xiao Feng's posture is not fancy, but has a very good level, and they quickly put away their entertainment thoughts and carefully observed Xiao Feng's training.

This look shows the problem, Xiao Feng appeared in the point guard position of the main lineup, he and Kobe Bryant complemented each other, completely eating Nash and Jeremy Lin in the bench lineup, and the score was far ahead.

Among them, Xiao Feng scored 15 points and handed out 5 assists in less than 10 minutes on 5-of-6 three-point shots!

Although the players in the bench lineup may have some scruples because of Xiao Feng's identity and can't go all out when defending, Xiao Feng's level of performance is far beyond that of ordinary NBA players.

Could it be that Xiao Feng is still a basketball genius?!

In the afternoon of the same day, Xiao Feng's performance on the Lakers' training ground was made into a video and appeared on major online media, and in the evening, Xiao Feng and Kobe Bryant could be seen in sports news in the United States and even around the world!

The super-rich Xiao Feng turned into the point guard of the Lakers, and the news quickly spread around the world and became the focus of everyone's attention!

Is the world crazy? )
