The Lakers sounded the horn for the new season, and within the Lakers club, President Jeanie Buss called a meeting of the management team.

In the manager's office, Jeanie Buss held a thick sheet of player information in her hand and said: "Gentlemen, the new season is about to start, we can't do it this time again, we have to look for changes. ”

The "Xu Xuan Plan" is an important reorganization charter proposed by him.

The main content is to build a team around Xu Xuan, clean up those locker room tumors, and use Xu Xuan as the center to create a completely different Bai Baihe.

In her concept, this will be a team that is youthful, sunny, enthusiastic, vigorous, and has a taste of hard work.

The ultimate goal is the championship, no doubt.

Xu Xuan's fresh blood injected a youthful vitality into the aging Zijin Dynasty, so as to build a completely different team.

That's Jenny Bass's ambition!

Many people are wondering how the Lakers were lonely after winning the championship in 2010.

Throughout their history:

In the 2010-11 season, the Lakers retained their championship-winning roster, but Andrew Bynum's injury outbreak slowed the team's progress.

This season, Bynum has only played a total of 54 regular season games due to a knee injury.

In order for the team to get the highest possible ranking in the regular season, Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Fisher, and Ci Shiping all played a full 82 games, which to a certain extent, depleted the team. After a 4-2 win over the Hornets in the first round of the playoffs, they were swept in the semifinals by that season's champion Mavericks.

At that time, the Lakers were already showing their old age, Fisher was completely blown up by Jason Terry, and Pau Gasol was powerless in the face of Nowitzki. Years later, it turned out that from that season, Odom became addicted to drugs, and the fall of the team's best sixth man became one of the reasons why the Lakers were swept.

In the 2011-12 season, the Lakers sent Odom away, and the addition of Matt Barnes was a drop in the bucket for that loss.

Kobe Bryant has only played 56 games this season due to injuries such as tibial tenosynovitis, and his decline in form can be imagined. In addition, this year, Vanessa filed for divorce from Kobe, and this off-court factor had a greater impact on Kobe.

In the playoffs, the Lakers, who struggled to break through the first round through a tie-break, were defeated 4-1 by the Thunder. From a tactical point of view, the Lakers are still insisting on the giant basketball route of "Bynum + Gasol", which is very different from the small-ball trend that has emerged in the league.

This defeat was more like being defeated by the times.

In the 2012-13 season, the Lakers sent Bynum, got Howard and brought in Nash.

Reorganizing the Big Four roster, the Lakers are determined to make a final push for a championship.

However, Howard was completely lost in life in Los Angeles, and his conflict with Kobe Bryant became a favorite hit in the local media. Nash came to Los Angeles more like a retirement, with injuries allowing him to play only 50 games.

On April 12, 2013, on the eve of the playoffs, Kobe Bryant suffered a torn Achilles tendon in a game against the Warriors. The Lakers then lost to the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs.

In the 2013-14 season, Howard fled Los Angeles to Houston in the offseason, Kobe Bryant played only 6 games due to injury, Nash only played 10 games due to injury, and Gasol led the team alone to make the Lakers only 25 wins. For the first time in nine years, Los Angeles missed the playoffs.

In the 2014-15 season, Gasol was gone, and the only core player left in the Lakers' 2010 championship roster was Kobe Bryant, and Kobe Bryant only played 35 games this season. After another 23 wins this season, Los Angeles has embarked on a complete rebuild.

And in the 15-16 season, not to mention, Kobe Bryant's retirement season really took the rotten as the core idea.

Looking at it this way, the Lakers' loneliness is not a day's cold.

The year they won the championship could even be regarded as a return to the past.

There were struggles later, but overall, the struggles were just dragging themselves to death a little slower.

Jenny Bass didn't want to be like her older brother, Jim Bass.

I'm getting some big and small stars to come over and form a duo, a big three, or even a big four, a big five.

It doesn't make sense.

Jenny Bass thinks those don't make sense.

If that had worked out, the Lakers wouldn't have been as rotten to the bones as they are today.

If you want to make a profit, you have to change!

Change from the inside out!

And Xu Xuan is the epicenter of the storm of all these changes.

There had to be Xu Xuan for her plans to succeed.

Jenny Bass is actually a little empty in her heart.

And she's actually planning to officially launch it next year to get Jim Bass back in power.

But because of Xu Xuan's relationship, she had to launch it in advance.

If Xu Xuan hadn't been recruited this time, the power she had floating on her face would collapse instantly, and then the overall situation might get out of control again.

Xu Xuan is so important!

It's irreplaceable.

If Xu Xuan is not recruited, even if Durant comes, it is useless.

Jeanne Bass quickly filtered it in her mind, looked at the player information on the table with confidence, then turned on the projector and said, "Gentlemen, let's watch a video first." ”

Jenny Bass is not a bombastic person, she likes to speak with facts.

Soon a game picture was projected on the projector, and a black-haired teenager scored and passed again and again.

This teenager is Xu Xuan, who has just led the Pacers to win the championship.

"It's really art, no matter how many times you watch it, you can still be shocked."

"Watching Xu Xuan's game is simply enjoyable, the collection of art and beauty, it's so comfortable."

"Exaggerated vision, terrifying scoring ability."

Everyone talked about it in an instant, Xu Xuan was not an unknown person, everyone was very familiar with him.

"Yes." Jenny Bass sat on the desk, crossed her hands around her chest and exclaimed: "Xu Xuan's technical characteristics are reflected in the fact that he can do almost anything as long as he gets the ball!" He can score, he can pass, he can break through, he can shoot...... He can score in any way he thinks. ”

"But can we really get him?" The new general manager, Pelinka, bit the barrel of his pen and said: "It was not an easy task. ”

"Of course it's not easy," Jenny Bass glanced at her new general manager: "However, Kobe Bryant has already helped us penetrate the enemy in advance, I received a call just now, Xu Xuan has agreed, we can talk to him in the afternoon." ”

"Xu Xuan agreed?"

"Kobe Bryant is indispensable."

"It seems that even if Kobe Bryant retires, he still thinks about us and is moved."

Jeanne Bass looked around with satisfaction, slapped her face to attract everyone's attention, and said in a deep voice: "Well, let's go down and prepare now, I have prepared the information for you, how to talk about it later, what to talk about, think about it first, we have to fight for it, and we will win with one blow!" ”

At the end of the meeting, after the other executives left, Pelinka was dripping.

He poured himself a cup of coffee and asked, "Do you really believe that Xu Xuan can succeed?" ”

Jeanne Bass was sorting out the papers, and when she heard the words, she paused slightly, was silent for a while, and said; "I don't know, but... I want to trust him. ”

"Why?"

Pelinka asked, confused.

Jeanie Buss sighed, she turned to Pelinka and said, "I see a different quality in him, if before last October, someone said that the Pacers would win the championship, do you believe it?" ”

"Don't believe it!" Pelinka shook her head and said, "At that time, I expected that they would only be able to reach the second round of the playoffs at most, and this would depend on Xu Xuan and Paul George playing normally." ”

Pelinka shrugged her shoulders and said, "After all, their bench is too weak, isn't it." ”

"That's right! I don't believe it, the bench is so weak. Jeanne Bass smiled, then said with emotion: "But they did it, they not only made it to the end but also won the championship, which is something that no one ever thought of." I see a contagious energy in Xu Xuan, he is not only able to drive himself, but also his teammates, to drive the fans, he has a charm to have other people around him and strive towards his goal. ”

Jenny Bass took a deep breath and looked at Pelinka: "And, I can only choose to trust him now!" ”

Just as Perrincar's mouth was full of bitterness as these questions were pondered, Jenny Buss's voice rang out: "I hope that the feat he accomplished in Indiana can be repeated in Los Angeles as well." This time we're really different, we're making drastic reforms, we're bringing in new players, and we're looking forward to a new round of rise, not filling in the gaps! ”

Jeanne Buss came all the way to the floor-to-ceiling windows, she looked at the center of the golden arena, and said with a power fanaticism in her eyes: "This is a superstar that is hard to find in the history of the NBA!" Sooner or later, this storm will dominate the Alliance! And I will also take advantage of this storm to completely take charge of the Lakers! ”

......

"Damn it! In this way, the Lakers have too much advantage, isn't this not a chance for others? ”

In a room in a high-end hotel in Los Angeles, a team from the Dallas Mavericks was also discussing a one-two-three thing about how to abduct Xu Xuan from Los Angeles.

Cuban looked out the window with a gloomy face, and then took a sip before turning his head to look at the old driver and said: "Dirk, you should have invited Xu Xuan to Dallas for training at that time, and we can also help him contact him, and we will also provide one-stop service to the end." ”

The old driver smiled bitterly and spread his hands, he didn't know about it beforehand.

And, to say early...... It's time to wipe your neck.

Who was the person who chose Xu Xuan in the first place?

Who was the person who traded Xu Xuan away?

I don't have a B count in my heart.

But the old driver will definitely not say it directly if he is so unemotional, he sighed and said: "I guess there is also Xu Xuan's own meaning in this, otherwise, even if Kobe Bryant invites, Xu Xuan can not come." ”

In other words, with Xu Xuan's status now, what training do you want, do you have to go to Los Angeles?

"If we sign Xu Xuan, maybe we can taste the championship once." Kuban said in annoyance: "As long as he is willing to come, whatever conditions are put forward as long as I can agree, I will agree to them all." ”

"If Xu Xuan wants to come, I can assist him." The old driver also said in a deep voice.

He can give up the position of boss, as long as Xu Xuan is willing to go to Dallas.

"The Lakers have put a lot of effort into this, Jim Buss can step down so quickly, Jenny Buss can come to power so quickly, and those people on the board of directors are definitely playing a role in fueling the fire."

"If you can cut off the beard, I'm afraid the Lakers will really be wasted, but it's a pity, I can't even see Xu Xuan's face now, what do you say."

It's risky for stars to test the waters of the free market, otherwise it wouldn't be called "testing the waters".

In the end, there are many stars who have lost both people and money.

And Xu Xuan ...... He didn't seem to be worried at all.

It's been three days since the free market was open, and he didn't even show his face, including his agent.

......

Another high-class hotel not far from this hotel.

The home of the Charlotte Hornets.

The old rascal personally led the team, but unfortunately, he was the same as the people of the Maverick team, so far, let alone meeting, he didn't even see Xu Xuan's hair.

They wanted to talk, and they weren't afraid of Xu Xuan's conditions, but now they were hanging like this.

I feel uncomfortable.

"Find a way, contact Kobe, I want to meet Kobe." The old rascal still has a brain, and he thought of contacting Kobe Bryant if he couldn't contact Xu Xuan.

Whatever, let's meet first.

“...... Hehe, Kobe Bryant can't be contacted either. The president under him smiled bitterly.

Nonsense, how could Kobe Bryant be contacted by someone else now.

It's rough, Xu Xuan is a Laker!

......

At the same time.

Eagles

Bulls

Nets

Tunneling team

Pistons

Grizzlies

76 people

sun

......

The league now has a total of 27 teams, all of which have sent personnel to Los Angeles.

Even the Cavaliers and Warriors have people here.

They are not very urgent about Xu Xuan, and Xu Xuan will most likely not join these two teams, but ...... It's so lively and beautiful, how exciting.

That night, under the leadership of new president Jeanie Buss, a group of Lakers executives all appeared outside Xu Xuan's rented apartment.

He looked pious, like a believer waiting for a pilgrimage.

...... Xu Xuan pursed his mouth, the posture of this group of people has done enough.

From top to bottom, none of the executives are left behind.

After a whole night of negotiations, Carson, who is now rushing back from China, finally reached an agreement with the Lakers on the signing intention on behalf of Xu Xuan.

One night...... It's not that the Lakers don't want to give money, it's that they're struggling with it, and the signing time is too short.

It's only two years, which is too short, not to mention, this second year is still a player option.

In other words, Xu Xuan has been playing for a full year, and he will leave if he wants to leave next year.

It doesn't matter if you give money, after all, the Lakers are also giants, and they are not bad for money, and it is okay to give Xu Xuan a maximum salary of four years, but Xu Xuan will not let it, and always adhere to the two-year, 1+1 contract system.

The Lakers couldn't help it in the end, they were too greedy for Xu Xuan...... Whatever Xu Xuan proposed, they had to agree.

The next day, the news was officially revealed.

The alliance fryed in an instant!

2015-2016 season champion, FMVP winner, Xu Xuan officially decided to join the Los Angeles Lakers!
