Chapter 255: Turmoil

Zhao Wei didn't expect to be so compatible with Westbrook and Anthony Davis. Ranwen? The scores of the two went up suddenly.

In the blink of an eye, Westbrook and Anthony Davis have both reached 44 points. This is the highest score in NBA history for an All-Star Game. Westbrook had scored this in 2015, but he only equaled it, not exceeded.

However, this time both will surpass. Zhao Wei's assist was not broken. After Zhao Wei broke through, the ball seemed to be wrapped around his waist, and his waist turned twice in a row, and in the dazzle, a crotch was given to Anthony Davis, who was following behind.

Anthony Davis is another tomahawk snapper.

Westbrook made enough three-point shots and came inside to join in the fun. Zhao Wei threw the ball into the air.

Westbrook leaped to his feet, catching the ball in the air with one hand, snapping with one arm, and sinking with great momentum. The momentum is unstoppable.

Under the joint force of the three people, the eastern army lost its combat effectiveness. They are already 15 points behind the West.

There were only three minutes left until the end of the game. Westbrook and Anthony Davis both scored fifty points. has far broken the record, and it is the two of them who broke it together.

Cole was originally going to replace Zhao Wei at this time, but he finally hesitated and left Zhao Wei on the court. The Warriors' Big Four didn't play again. And Zhao Wei, Westbrook and Anthony Davis continued to play. The eastern troops were no longer on the defensive. Let Zhao Wei and them score.

By the time the whistle blew, the West had already scored 200 points.

This is a high score that has never been seen before. Moreover, Westbrook and Anthony Davis alone scored 108 points. The two scored 54 points each.

The West Army defeated the East Army in this All-Star Game.

The final result also satisfied Zhao Wei's wishes. Westbrook and Anthony Davis both lifted the MVP trophy together.

As the host Anthony Davis, he won the first All-Star MVP of his career. And Westbrook also tied history, achieving three consecutive All-Star MVP titles.

Zhao Wei's first All-Star was also a success. Although he only scored four points, eleven assists were enough to shine.

At the end of the All-Star Games, Zhao Wei and they finally got a break, and there were still three days left before the next game for them to rest. But these three days are also very important days for the entire NBA.

There are only a few days left before the trade deadline for this season. If there is a move, the team will start functioning on these days. There is a good chance that there will be a big deal in these days. And the Cut Lakers have also begun to further upgrade during this time.

When Kupchak was in power for Bass Jr., he made a series of decisions that broke Jeanie Bass's heart. And right in the first trade that broke out on the first day after the All-Star break. Kupchak was caught up in it, and it became the fuse for Jeanie Buss's outburst.

"Magic" Johnson, who had just become a senior basketball advisor to the Lakers, immediately became the president of basketball, replacing Jeanie Buss. Jeanie Buss, on the other hand, continues to be responsible for the economic side of the operation.

For this, Zhao Wei admires Jeanie Bass very much. Jeanie Bass was able to let go of her subordinates decisively before the temptation of power. Rather than forcibly operating what she is not good at.

Johnson's years of experience, both as a player and as an operator, Jeanie Buss has given Johnson enough trust. Let Johnson do it.

"Magic" Johnson is the representative of the Lakers. He was the dominant player in the original performance moment. The "Magician", who was originally a rookie, played in the finals in place of the injured Abdul-Jabbar and turned the tide.

With an elusive pass of more than two meters, "Magic" is the most perverted guard in the history of the Lakers.

Johnson is a very outspoken man. Even if Kupchak is his good friend. Johnson still won't bend the law for personal gain. He fired Kupchak for squid at the first opportunity. Kupchak was West's most proud disciple, but after the death of Buss Sr., Kupchak's successive trades were fatal for the Lakers. He didn't give the Lakers a clear direction forward in terms of recruitment, resulting in the Lakers not entering the playoff threshold for two consecutive seasons.

And just after firing the position of general manager of Kupchak, Johnson immediately found a successor, Rob Pelinka.

Rob Pelinka said this, and many people don't know it. Because people like Rob Pelinka are rarely in front. He is a very well-known agent. Like the Lakers' Derrick Fisher and Kobe Bryant, he was the player at the time.

Kobe's success is due to his personal charisma, and it is also indispensable to the operation behind Rob Pelinka.

He has a lot of experience in dealing with player contracts. Although there are many people who question this.

Because the Lakers are now up and down. President Johnson: Although Johnson has a lot of experience in basketball, this is the first time he has served as president.

General Manager Rob Pelinka: A well-known agent in the NBA, he has a very good relationship with many of the league's big-name stars. But this is the first time he has served as general manager.

Head Coach Luke Wharton: The youngest current coach in the NBA. Today he is only 36 years old, very talented and regarded as one of the great coaches of the future. But it's the first time he's been a head coach.

A lot of people think that the Lakers should have a very experienced person in these three important positions. This will allow the Lakers to operate more methodically. As it stands, the Lakers are taking too much risk.

And the Lakers' operation isn't over. Both Johnson and Rob Pelinka have a very good relationship with Kobe. As Johnson said when he was a senior adviser, if he became an executive, he would send an invitation to Kobe Bryant as soon as possible. Because Kobe Bryant is the same kind of person as him, he knows what it takes to win and keep the team competitive.

Johnson is not simply an invitation to Kobe Bryant, let Kobe be a famous and powerless consultant or something. It's for Kobe Bryant to come and make decisions about the future of the team with him.

Although Kobe Bryant did not agree now, Johnson believes that Kobe will come. It was not an invitation he could refuse. As Johnson said, he spent his career with the Lakers. Although he is retired now, in his heart, he is still a Laker.

On the first day of his tenure as general manager and president, Johnson made a move and completed a trade with the Rockets, trading Mozgov to the Rockets. Mozgov has a very good offensive game, which is a good fit for the current system of the Rockets. The Lakers, on the other hand, got Brewer and a future first-round pick. The deal looks like the Rockets are a sure-fire deal. Because they're just missing players on the inside.

And the 31-year-old Brewer has reached a low point in his life with the Rockets this season. He's averaging 4.2 points per game and shooting a measly low 24.5 percent from the field. It's just miserable.

And the Rockets' current roster looks like their first-round pick will definitely not be too high in the future.

However, a discerning person can see it at a glance. The Lakers now have Randle, Porzingis, Larynnance, Blake, and Zubac, who works out in the Development League. So, the 31-year-old Mozgov is rebuilding the Lakers now, and he is not the future territory of the Lakers. Just like the way Williams was traded at the beginning. Now the only veterans in the Lakers roster are Lul Deng and Nick Young.

These two people are not believed to be traded. Because Mozgov is gone, it's the Lakers who don't want him to waste talent here. Going to the Rockets, he was also able to pursue the highest glory at the end of his career.

Ruhr Deng, the Lakers still need his experience. Nick Young could be a very good battery to provide the Lakers with outside offensive firepower.

However, relatively speaking, the Lakers did not make much movement in the two days after the All-Star break. The Mozgov trade wasn't much of a upheaval for the Lakers, as Mozgov has rarely gotten playing time since Porzingis' arrival.

Looking at the league as a whole, there aren't too many recent transactions, but they are also turbulent. One of the most surprising trades, and one that led to Kupchak's ouster, was the Kings trading Cousins.

The Kings and Pelicans complete the trade. Cousins teamed up with Anthony Davis. When the deal was issued, Zhao Wei finally knew the reason for Anthony Davis's mysterious smile when he had dinner with Westbrook and Anthony Davis that night. At the time, he thought it was because Anthony Davisy wanted to join forces with Westbrook. I didn't expect to recruit Cousins to the Pelicans first.

It's arguably the most amazing deal in the league. Two of the hottest inside lines in the league today have joined forces. Both of them are very terrible in physical fitness, and they can be inside and out. Cousins was able to shoot a three-pointer from the outside, and Anthony Davis grabbed the rebound. It's okay to do it the other way around. And the arrival of Cousins freed Anthony Davis back into the power forward position.

At power forward, Anthony Davis is the most efficient in the league. Of course, the Pelicans also paid for Buddy Hield and others, but it didn't hurt for the gains.

As for the other deals in the alliance, they are still generally rumored. However, Zhao Wei believes that the alliance will not stop after these two deals. There is now one day left until the trading deadline. He believes that the phone in front of every general manager is ringing non-stop. Everyone is making a final attempt. On the final day, there will definitely be trades that will trigger a maelstrom of alliances.

But that's not what Zhao Wei needs to worry about. Because he has many people of his own who make him anxious.

The All-Star Game is over, which means that the regular season has really entered the second half of the sprint. The Lakers need to sail and make a comeback for the playoffs. They are now a long way from the playoffs. They have to be 200 percent hopeful that they won't be locked out of the playoffs for three consecutive seasons.

This requires their existing players to burst into their best form and grow quickly. Especially a couple of starters, as well as Ingram.

Ingram had high hopes and was called Durant Jr. But the season's season-to-season average of eight points per game has been a big disappointment. Especially when negotiating a trade with Cousins, Kupchak refused to give up Ingram, which led to the Lakers not getting Cousins.

Of course, it's not that Zhao Wei doesn't like Ingram and thinks he needs to be traded. They are very good friends.

Although Bryant has not yet taken any positions, he has already stepped in to help. Both Zhao Wei and Ingram received Bryant's message. Bryant said he was willing to help the strongman in any way.

At the same time, Zhao Wei continued the process of his competition, working hard for his dream. Another person is also working hard for Zhao Wei's dream in the far east.

When Zhao Wei was busy with the regular season, Lucy didn't stop to rest for a day. She went to China early with Kylie Jenner. Want to start a company in China. So Lucy has been busy dealing with all parties.

When I came back from the All-Star Game, I wanted to take advantage of this break to report the situation to Zhao Wei and meet Zhao Wei by the way.

After listening to Lucy's report, Zhao Wei had a headache. Because of one word: money.

Zhao Wei has no money. The money from his rookie contract wasn't enough for him to live on, and a car cost him half of his salary. Fortunately, the contract he signed with Abel gave him a certain amount of money. That's why Lucy was sent back to China in advance to start the plan.

However, Zhao Wei did not expect that housing prices would rise so quickly. Now, Zhao Wei: After they only bought a building, they were penniless. They have no staff, no equipment, nothing. There is only one empty building. Before Zhao Wei had a headache, another one came to the door.

Ingram was pulled away by Kobe Bryant, saying that he was going to give Ingram a full training. Porzingis and several other big men were taken away by Jabbar. Abdul-Jabbar has the most famous Skyhook technique in history, but every big man who comes to the Lakers will learn from him, but no one has really learned it until now.

Zhao Wei was taken away by the magician. The Magic is the best defender, and his passing is magical. This arrangement is to make Zhao Wei a real point guard. Zhao Wei's reminder is very similar to that of a magician. And the magician is even two centimeters taller than Zhao Wei. Both have dribbling skills that don't match their height.

When Zhao Wei saw the magician's elusive pass, Zhao Wei almost dropped his jaw in shock. There wasn't a ball he could tell where the magician was going to go. He looked to the right, probably to the left. Just when you thought he went to the left, he went to the right. I don't know how he managed to change direction at the last moment. (To be continued.) )
