Lu Fei received a call from Anthony Washington early in the morning.

"Lu, are you up? I won, yesterday was my first regular-season game, I won against the Denver Nuggets, how was it, am I great! ”

Lu Fei rubbed his eyes: "Played 8 minutes, got 2 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, fortunately it was not all garbage time, such a performance, winning or losing the game seems to have nothing to do with you." ”

"......" Anthony Washington was speechless: "Can you not hit me like this?" ”

"You have to understand that you are competing for the same position as the center of the Kings last season, Divac, although he is now injured and it is likely to be his last season, but you have to remember that if you can't squeeze him out ......of the rotation, you will play less time, less and you may be kicked out of the league," Lu Fei said and paused: "These are the complaints that Joe Smith complained about you, and I think you can learn something from the two centers Divac and Yao Ming that will allow you to establish yourself in the NBA." ”

"Yes, that's right." Anthony Washington excitedly said: "Divac is really a great teacher, I learned a lot from him, he hasn't come back yet, I'm sure when he comes, we'll be fearless!" ”

This two fools......

This summer, the Lakers struck a deal with Kings center Divac in addition to the Yao Ming deal, and after six seasons with the Sacramento Kings, Divac will return to the beginning of his career.

Divac isn't actually willing to leave Sacramento, but the salary the Kings are offering him next season is too low to satisfy the 36-year-old.

The key Kings are really unwilling to spend a lot of money on Divac, not to mention that he is 36, O'Neal was abandoned by the Lakers at the age of 33, not to mention that he is not as good as O'Neal.

The Lakers picked Divac in the first round of the 1989 draft, and Divac spent seven years with the Lakers until the Lakers took a fancy to the Hornets' rookie Kobe Bryant in the draft, and Divac was forced to leave Los Angeles.

Divac still has a home in Los Angeles and the Lakers have re-interested in Divac after giving O'Neal to the Rockets in the summer.

The Lakers already had three centers in the summer, Yao Ming, Mime and Anthony Washington, Meme has always been regarded as an asset that can be traded, Anthony Washington is just a rookie worth developing, so finding a suitable replacement for Yao Ming is a top priority for the Lakers.

They set their sights on Divac.

The Lakers offered Divac a contract of nearly $5 million in mid-terms.

The 36-year-old Divac is on the wane, but with his years of experience, he can still mentor young players such as Washington and Lewis.

What's more critical is that when the Rockets met the Lakers this season and O'Neal began the "revenge war", with him, Los Angeles fans don't have to worry about O'Neal slashing and killing in their own team's restricted area, as if no one is in a no-man's land, at least it looks like Divac is more like a meat shield than Yao Ming.

Lu Fei hung up the phone with Anthony Washington and prepared to pack up and get up to go to the training hall.

He reminded Anthony Washington in the name of Joe Smith, as for whether he can realize his own flaws, Lu Fei doesn't know, there is only so much he can do, he can't help his old friend play.

Washington's defensive and adaptation ability is undoubted, and the rebounding level is not bad, but the offensive means are too simple - mid-range shooting.

The center should be able to hook up on the inside singles, and the only way to score under the basket is to dunk, plus the free throws that are comparable to O'Neal, if Lu Fei is his head coach, it is estimated that the head should be big.

Lu Fei shook his head, pressed the car keys, opened the car door, and just sat down, the phone rang again.

"Hey ......"

"It's me, Cameron."

"Uh, what's wrong?"

"I'm not happy when I lose."

Lu Fei was silent for a while, two Anthonys, one is happy when he wins, and the other is unhappy when he loses, the key is whether you are happy or not, what does it matter to me?

Lu Fei chatted with Carmelo Anthony for a while, in fact, the Nuggets lineup is not bad, Carmelo Anthony, Kenyon Martin, Andre Miller and Marcus Camby, this lineup has great hopes of entering the playoffs this year.

No one expected them to lose so badly in the first game......

Carmelo Anthony hung up the phone and said his prediction: "Lakers championship." ”

Lu Fei: "......"

Why does it sound so familiar?

However, the Lakers' current roster is indeed a bit of a trick, starting with Yao Ming, Kobe, Stephen Jackson, Rashad Lewis and Old Cat Mobley, and Atkins, Vujasic, Medvedenko, Anthony Washington, Luke Wharton, Devin George and Divac on the bench.

In the starters, even if Lewis's defense is a little worse, but it doesn't matter, Medvedenko, who could have played as a starter, is still there, this is a big man who specializes in coolies.

You must know that the Lakers' current bench lineup is a proper set of starters in the East.

Atkins, Devin George, Medvidenko, and Divac were not the team's starters last season, and after a summer of adjustments, they all played on the bench, so you can imagine how thick the Lakers' bench depth is.

But Lu Fei disagrees with what Cameron Anthony said, everyone is here to play, why should I admit defeat directly?

He carefully analyzed all the teams this season and found that there were three teams that could pose a threat to the Lakers.

One is the Spurs.

How strong the Spurs were in the 2004-2005 season, Lu Fei knows best.

This Spurs team has been cultivated by Popovich for several years, and this year's Spurs are clearly more mature.

Their key word is, balanced!

Whether offensive or defensive, whether it is a starter or a substitute, the word balance is written on this team from the inside out, and balance means no shortcomings, it means flawlessness.

The second is the sun.

Although the Suns lost to the Lakers in the preseason, Lu Fei watched the video of that game, and it was obvious that there was no good result in the run-in.

Their key word is, uneven!

The Suns are the opposite of the Spurs, he's not balanced at all, it's an offense-only team that puts the ball in the basket in the shortest amount of time every game, and it's Steve Nash who just traded the Mavericks to lead them to the task.

The third is the supersonic speed where Lu Fei is located.

Perhaps all basketball pundits will analyze the first two teams, but no one thinks that the SuperSonics will be able to compete with the Lakers this year.

Because in their eyes, the supersonic is not weak, and it was a second-round team in the playoffs last year, but the core player of this team is only a sophomore rookie.

The supersonic star halo is too weak, Ray Allen is not a super scorer in today's era of quarterbacks, and Rasheed Wallace barely makes it to the All-Star.

As for the strength of the bench lineup, it is not weak, but the leading sixth man turned out to be a rookie just selected this year - Brandon Roy.

Although the SuperSonics played well, although they reached the second round last year, and it is likely that they can still make the playoffs this year, and still have the qualifications to occupy a place in the Western Conference, but it may be a bit of a point to say that they can challenge the Lakers in front of them.

However, Lu Fei believes that as long as Roy slowly adapts to the confrontation in the NBA, the strength of the SuperSonics will definitely be able to compete with the Lakers.

Lu Fei came to the Key Arena, and the vicinity of the stadium was already full of SuperSonics fans.

Among them, the most worn is Lu Fei's No. 10, and even the specialty store in the supersonic key stadium, Lu Fei's jersey has been sold out.

Since Lu Fei confessed to Gu Tang on his birthday, the number of his female fans has increased instead of decreasing.

Scarlett Johansson also told the media that she and Lu Fei are just friends, and she hopes that fans will not talk nonsense, and she also hopes to have the opportunity to make movies or appear on variety shows with Lu Fei.

Lu Fei just smiled when he heard this: "Then next time I have to invite you to dinner for me." ”

Scarlett: "......"

Today is the first game of the season for the SuperSonics, and although the opponent is only the weak Clippers, fans still choose to come to the scene to cheer for the team.

Fans walked into the stadium one after another, waiting for the game to begin.

Lu Fei stepped on the court in a sports jacket, Wang Zhizhi threw over a basketball, Lu Fei rubbed it in his hand for a while, and saw a sea of green in the audience, and suddenly a kind of magnificence surged into his heart, even for these fans who supported him, he had to work hard to play every game.

The MC loudly announced the rosters for both sides, and when it was announced that the Clippers were the last man on the ball, there was a round of applause.

And when the MC shouted out the names of the supersonic players, the atmosphere on the court suddenly changed.

Battier was the first to step out of the tunnel, the lights dimming with his appearance, and the only light shone on him.

"It's Sean Battier, let's welcome Sean ......"

The MC shouted loudly, and the fans at the scene burst into applause.

Followed Oku out,

"Memet Oku ......"

The MC's voice dragged on a long tail note and took a turn.

Rasheed Wallace stood up and smiled at Lu Fei.

When Wallace first came, Lu Fei was humble and wanted Rashid Wallace to play behind him, but Rashid Wallace didn't care about this, he felt that he came halfway, and Ray Allen was the boss of the team, and Lu Fei was the tactical core, so it was not his turn to rank behind Lu Fei.

So all the while, Rasheed Wallace was the third player to play.

"The players who came out below were ...... Rashid Wallace! ”

Rasheed Wallace has a lot of fans, after all, his strong personality on the court really makes him very show-stealing, and naturally attracts the love of many fans.

Lu Fei tightened his shoelaces, and the next one was him.

Suddenly, Lei Allen pressed his shoulder, Lu Fei was stunned, and he saw Lei Allen stand up.

"Ray, what are you?"

"From today onwards, you have to lead us further, you know, our goal, is O'Brien!" Ray Allen said with a smile.

The corners of Lu Fei's mouth moved, he didn't know what to say at this time.

Ray Allen turned and walked out.

"Ray!"

Lu Fei shouted, and Lei Allen turned around.

"Don't worry, definitely!"

Ray Allen smiled, nodded, and walked out of the tunnel to the players' tunnel.

"The player who plays below is everyone's favorite ......" The MC had already prepared the wording and was about to shout Lu Fei's name loudly, but when he saw the player coming out of the player tunnel, he was stunned, and it took two seconds to react: "It's everyone's favorite - Ray!" Alan! ”

The applause of the fans obviously stopped for a few seconds, and then it rang out more enthusiastically.

Ray Allen waved indifferently to the fans.

Lu Fei stood in the players' tunnel, his heart was pounding, and all the fans at the scene stood up, because this was the first time that Lu Fei appeared in the Key Arena as the last player to appear.

"Lu Fei! Lu Fei! ”

The audience chanted Lu Fei's name.

Lu Fei walked out, and the cries of the fans resounded like a tsunami throughout the stadium.

This is the first time that Lu Fei has played the last game in the Key Arena, but it is by no means the last, and everyone understands that the last position to play in the future must be Lu Fei's, which also proves that Lu Fei has truly become the leader of the team since then.

Lu Fei and his teammates high-fived one by one, and when they high-fived Ray Allen, the two looked at each other and smiled.

This scene was also captured by the camera, the nearly 10,000 fans present witnessed the moment of the transfer of power to the boss of the supersonic team, McMillan stood on the sidelines, as a coach to be able to have such a player is happy, he, like the fans, also wants to know what kind of level the team with the smallest action this summer will play, and can Lu Fei take the team to another level?

……

The supersonic swept the Clippers by nearly thirty points.

At the post-match press conference, Ray Allen was full of praise for Lu Fei's performance.

"Lu Fei's excellent play allowed us to beat the opponent easily, he will be the best leader for this team, and Rashid and I will try to help Lu Fei. Last year's Lu Fei was still very young, just a first-year rookie, but he showed a very mature performance, I am talking about his maturity on the basketball court beyond my imagination, his growth rate is also beyond my imagination, this year we still maintain the integrity of the lineup, we still have fresh blood like Snow and Roy, what we have to do is to determine Lu Fei's core position, not only the tactical core, but also mentally, he will be our best leader. ”

The reporter asked the question to Lu Fei, who was sitting on the side.

"Lu, do you think you can be a good leader of the team?"

Lu Fei smiled: "Lei is joking, don't you see it?" No matter where he is, Ray will always be my boss, and the reason why he said this must be to be lazy...... As for the leader of the team, I don't think it's difficult, the rookies in my class, James, Anthony, Wade, are already the leaders of the team, only I am the ......worst mixed up."

Lu Fei's words made the audience burst into laughter.

Compared with Lu Fei, the honors they received last season can be thrown out of a few streets.

The reporter asked again: "Lu, I don't know if there is pressure on you to become the leader of the super speed movement, how do you think you will perform in the next game?" ”

"Next?" Lu Fei laughed: "Of course I will be better." ”

"Then I'm looking forward to your next game, where you're against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and LeBron James has always wanted to challenge you for the Rookie of the Year position." The reporter said slyly: "Who do you think will be the better leader, you or James?" ”

Lu Fei replied absentmindedly: "They are all leaders, I think there should be no difference......

He suddenly found that these reporters were boring - they always liked to fabricate a rival for the players, and sketch out a story of grievances and hatreds in their own hearts.

How about James, does it have anything to do with me as a Western Conference team?
