Chapter 451: Newcomers Rush to the Rescue, Bai Qiao's Talent Advances!
The Clippers wanted Clarkson, the Kings tried to get rid of Matt Barnes, and on the Lakers' side, Pelinka was even more eager to complete Xu Xuan's explanation, so the deal was quickly finalized.
At half past eight o'clock in the evening of September 14th, Xu Xuan had just finished a day's training when Pelinka called and said that the matter was done.
The three-way transaction is as follows.
The Lakers sent Mozgov and Clarkson, Wesley Matthews from the Clippers and Matt Barnes from the Kings.
The Clippers sent Wesley Matthews and some trade exceptions to get Clarkson from the Lakers.
Matt Barnes of the Kings, who got Mozgov from the Lakers, got some trade exceptions from the Clippers.
The deal can be said to be a happy one.
In media evaluations, the Lakers got an A-, the Clippers got a B+, and the Kings got a B.
The Lakers actually have the highest rating in the trade.
The reason is that now the Lakers have dumped Mozgov and strengthened the front line, and Xu Xuan is comfortable.
Xu Xuan is comfortable, then the Lakers will naturally earn it.
...... Fallacious.
Of course, trading a very potential star like Clarkson is also a gamble, especially when Xu Xuan's contract is only 1+1.
Once the Lakers don't do anything this year, and Xu Xuan chooses to leave next year, this deal can't be considered A-, not even B-.
The Kings didn't have the idea of trading at all before, but after the incident happened later, there was no way to trade, so the lowest rating was only B.
The Clippers are decent, but in terms of earnings, they are definitely earned, and a Wesley Matthews plus a little trade exception is exchanged for a promising star like Clarkson, no matter how you think about it, it is also profitable.
It's just that these media are doing things, and they hold the point that if you make Xu Xuan comfortable, you make other people uncomfortable, so your rating for this deal can only be lower than that of the Lakers......
Killing, the killing of red fruits.
Xu Xuan didn't care too much, and sent a welcome to the two new teammates on social media, and sent blessings to the two teammates who were about to leave, and life was back on track.
......
Train, train, train!
In fact, Xu Xuan's training plan has never stopped.
I woke up at 4:20 in the morning, went to the rented arena at 4:50 and started practicing left-handed layups and mid-range shots, and practiced until 6 o'clock to finish the first training.
The left-handed layup thing has also been said before, it seems unimportant, but it is actually important.
It is the most important point of the basic ability.
Xu Xuan's left-handed layup is not weak, but it is not that strong, so every day he spends a little time on his left-handed layup.
There is also a mid-pitch.
The sharpest weapon of the playoffs.
This is Xu Xuan's preparation for the season that has not yet started.
No way, this season with the Lakers is completely different from last season with the Pacers.
This is a completely single-core team, and Xu Xuan must think clearly about what can be done to break the game once his three points are restricted.
There were pickled peppers before, but now it's just him.
At 8 o'clock, Xu Xuan began to practice three points, although the three-point talent was advanced to diamond, but Xu Xuan would not think that this was the end, there must be a pro level below, and he still needed to be promoted.
At 10 o'clock, Kobe Bryant arrived, this is the time for defensive training and shooting posture training, and from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., it is the time of the big bald head, systematically training defensive awareness, defensive steps and defensive movements.
6 hours, 40 minutes of practice per hour, and the training content of each 40-minute training is different, almost starting from Xu Xuan's shoulders to ankles, every muscle has to be tossed.
These days, Xu Xuan has gritted his teeth and persevered, and the intensity is very high, and this training intensity is at least much greater than when he trained by himself last year.
However, Xu Xuan has Wei Shao's talent, but he can also persevere.
Time began to pass day by day, Xu Xuan's training in the afternoon has not changed, occasionally one or two groups are not very good, but most of the time has passed.
Of course, Xu Xuan did not forget the situation that Bai Qiao's passing talent was advancing quickly, and after mastering the left hand layup training every morning, Xu Xuan spent all the rest of his time practicing passing.
This thing is not very easy to practice, and it is quite abstract, there are many things on the text, and it is difficult to say how to teach the skills of specific actual combat.
It all depends on the situation and the reaction, and the reaction is enough to pass the ball to do what you want, which is unexpected.
From coming back on the 5th to September 30th, Xu Xuan did not stop for a day for nearly a month.
Every day is training, training and training.
The process is tedious, but the harvest is also gratifying.
Not to mention the improvement of other strengths, on September 30th, at the end of the special training, Bai Qiao's talent finally completed the advancement.
......
Xu Xuan: Male
Age: 20
Rating: 810
Possession of Talents:
Stephen Curry's three-point – diamonds
Aaron Iverson's breakthrough – platinum
Russell Westbrook's body – diamonds
Jason Williams' pass – diamonds
......
Three diamonds up!
The score also exceeded 800 and came to 810 points!
This is finally a bit of a big guy's level!
It's just a pity that the breakthrough talent of the answer still hasn't been able to start the advancement, Xu Xuan's main training in the second half of the year will be inclined to this aspect, how can four diamonds sound good in three diamonds?
Kobe Bryant is also very smacked at Xu Xuan's progress.
It can be said that he accompanied Xu Xuan step by step to complete the training of the whole summer, the free kind.
Not only the progress, but also Xu Xuan's training intensity made Kobe Bryant doubt several times whether this guy could persevere, and get up at 4:20 every day, this is not about playing, this is really done.
From 4:20 to 7 p.m., except for the rest time, Xu Xuan had no distractions and didn't do anything, just training and training.
Sometimes, after the systematic training in the evening, he has to improve his strength, endurance and other aspects.
"This kid is really like me, ruthless enough! Be yourself! ”
Kobe really admires Xu Xuan now, this is Xu Xuan, this is his second self.
Even, when he was young, he was not as hard as Xu Xuan is now.
With such great talent and such hard training, you deserve to succeed.
Kobe Bryant looked at Xu Xuan, Xu Xuan like this made him have the idea of making a comeback, if he came back and won a championship, would a certain dead fat man be jealous?
Forget it, it's not interesting to be angry with that dead fat man, anyway, I have more champions than him, and he can't catch up with me in his life......
The time has entered October, and the training camp of each team is about to begin.
This year's preseason started relatively early, and the Lakers' first preseason game was on the 6th, so the first two days were on the 30th, and the team had already begun to assemble.
Like some teams, the time to assemble is a little earlier, I heard that the Cavaliers will gather in the twenties, and it seems that it was arranged by Lao Zhan......
At 7 o'clock, Xu Xuan entered the stadium on time, and when he got off the bus, he met the boss Jeanne Bass.
"Oh, Xu, sure enough, as long as you return to the team, you will be the first to arrive at the stadium." Jenny Bass came up and hugged Xu Xuan.
Suddenly, a fragrant wind hit the face.
But Xu Xuan didn't say anything, this woman ...... Too old for him to be interested.
Xu Xuan hugged and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, Jenny, you are more beautiful." ”
"Thanks, Xu, let's have a coffee together if you have time in the evening?" Jenny Bass looked at Xu Xuan, blinked her eyes and suddenly proposed.
Xu Xuan: "......"
"I, I still have to train at night, so I won't bother, I'll invite you another day." Xu Xuan said.
"That's a pity, I have a bag of origin coffee sent by others, and it tastes very good......"
“......”
While greeting each other, Xu Xuan and Jeanie Bass entered the training ground from the staff passage together.
As he walked, Xu Xuan began to ask about the team: "There is no big problem with our salary, right?" ”
Jeanne Bass laughed: "Thanks to you, we have saved tens of millions this year." ”
The salary cap for the 2016-17 season was $94.143 million, while the luxury tax line was $113.287 million.
Today, when the salary cap has risen sharply, although the salary cap has also increased a lot, there are still many teams that are not enough.
But the Lakers don't have that problem.
The highest salary is Xu Xuan, 28.2429 million.
The following was originally Mozgov's 16 million, but now that Mozgov has been traded, this large sum of money has been saved.
In second place is Yi Jianlian's 8 million.
It's hard to believe that today, when the salary cap has risen so sharply, the Lakers can't find a second player with an annual salary of more than 10 million, and the top two salaries are actually Chinese players.
Yi Jian is 7 million after Lu Wei, and Lu Wei's contract still has the last year, I don't know if the team can keep it.
Xu Xuan still wants Lu Wei to stay, with him on the bench, the game will definitely be much easier.
Luwe was followed by Tariq's 6.19 million, followed by 5.44 million, Russell's 5.33 million, Ingram's 5.28 million, and Randall's 3.27 million......
Anyway, the total amount is more than 75 million US dollars.
For a team that aspires to rise, this salary is too little!
It's really too little!
For example, the Cavaliers are almost $127 million this year, that is, more than 120 million, and the Warriors even if Durant takes a salary cut, Curry's "child labor" price adds up to more than 100 million.
And the well-known giants in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers of the Purple and Gold Dynasty, are only more than 75 million.
Many people may not believe it when it is said, but it is true.
"It's not like the more money you spend, the better."
Xu Xuan waved his hand, but he didn't pay much attention to this thing.
If whoever spends more money will be more powerful, then there is no need to fight, a few supergiants will come together like this, and the salary will naturally come up.
Frank came very early today, and when Xu Xuan arrived, he had already arrived and began to tell the assistant coaches to start preparing.
"Xu, you're here." Frank said hello to Xu Xuan.
He is very busy now, waking up early and going to bed late every day.
No way, the manager of a new team is not so easy to be the manager, he needs to be familiar with a lot of things.
"Well," Xu Xuan agreed, then looked at the arrangement of the assistant coaches and raised his eyebrows: "Is there a confrontation match today?" ”
"That's right," Frank agreed, and then raised the body side report in his hand: "The body side data has come out, I don't think it's enough to understand them like this, it's better to have a match, so that you can understand them better." ”
Xu Xuan nodded.
He also agrees that this way of getting acquainted with the players is a good idea.
Speaking of this, after a while, the Lakers players walked into the training hall one after another.
With Mozgov and Clarkson gone, the Lakers' lineup looks more reasonable.
Point guards: Xu Xuan, Louis Williams, veteran Marcelo Hultas
Shooting guards: Nick Young, D'Angelo Russell, Wesley Matthews
Small forwards: Ingram, Tzu Shiping, Matt Barnes
Power forwards: Julius Randle, Larry Nance, Thomas Robinson
Centre-forwards: Zubac, Yi Jianlian, Tariq Black
3+3+3+3+3, exactly 15 people.
Wesley Matthews, looking at Frank, meant to let him go to the No. 2 position, anyway, he was a swing man, either the No. 2 or the No. 3 position.
Seeing that the head coach and Xu Xuan had already arrived in advance, the Lakers' vote of players did not have a thorn, and they all took the initiative to come over to say hello.
Even Matt Barnes, who had just clashed with Cousins.
They all came to say hello honestly.
No way, they have also watched the side and basic training in the past two days, Xu Xuan ...... It's just not human!
It's horrible!
I remember that last season, Xu Xuan's official height was still 191, and this year it has jumped to 195, almost close to 196.
The weight also rose from 80 kg to 85 kg.
Thinking of this, a group of people couldn't help but slander in their hearts.
It is said that Xu Xuan didn't gain weight when he was killed, didn't he also gain weight?
5 kg is not a lot.
Take KD as an example, KD was also regarded as a representative player of the skinny bamboo pole type in his rookie year at that time, in fact, he is not very strong now, a report in "Oklahomman" recorded that Durant was 212 pounds in his rookie season, 223 pounds in 2009, 231 pounds in 2011, and 237 pounds in 2013, and in the first 6 seasons of the NBA, he probably gained 25 pounds, or an average of a little more than 4 pounds per season.
1 pound is equal to about 0.45 kilograms, and 4 pounds is 1.8 kilograms.
Think about it, Xu Xuan has gained 5 kilograms in just two seasons, which is more than Durant's weight.
It's not slowing down anymore.
Look at the numbers below to make them even more striking!
Arm span: 205cm.
Palm length of the left hand: 22.9cm, length of the palm of the right hand 23.1cm.
...
Standing touch height: 259.
Run-up bounce: 97cm.
...
The 100-meter sprint was 10.56 seconds, the dribble span speed was 5.98 seconds, and the three-quarter sprint was 3.04 seconds.
The four-point movement in the three-second zone is 10.12 seconds, and the baseline switchback runs for 10.7 seconds.
...
185 lbs bench press (20 reps)!!
Arm span, palm length, standing touch height, these have been improved to varying degrees compared to the rookie time, Xu Xuan's arm span during the rookie period was only 203, but now it is 205, the most amazing is the 185 pound bench press, Xu Xuan actually did 20 times in frenzy, which is extremely close to the level of Griffin back then.
In a frenzy!!!!
