The remaining days are repaired, and Tang Qian didn't push the whole team too much, because this is the rest time in the last season, and then it's a sprint. The whole process is only when you press the accelerator to accelerate, and it is impossible to slow down again. Plus Larry. Brown also agreed to let the group rest and rest, and Tang Qian didn't want to spoil the fun. However, he also made it very clear that he will not be able to relax at all after returning to the team, and if anyone still wants to relax, he will definitely not be polite.

There is nothing bad about the ugly words ahead, and everyone can clearly know what to do and how to do it later.

Tang Qian's section is training + accompanying his parents, Tang's father and Tang's mother have not been out for a long time this time, and they will return to China with Zhou Zhiru when the competition starts. Zhou Zhiru also came very diligently in this paragraph, more diligent than any time before Tang was in the United States. Don't get me wrong, there is no imaginary ambiguity and small stories, it is just a normal old friend who came to visit, and Tang Qian was also relieved. He was really afraid that Zhou Zhiru wanted to do something? It's either that he thinks too highly of himself, or that he doesn't want anything else to do now. His love life is enough, and he has to devote most of his energy to his court career, and after the All-Star break, it is time for the teams to sprint, don't look at the Lakers are now ranked third in the West, but a wave of consecutive defeats is still likely to fall.

Even if you don't fall out of the top eight in the West, you will lose home-court advantage, which is not a good thing in the brutal playoffs.

So when he saw Zhou Zhiru, he didn't have any other thoughts, so he was relieved.

Only when leaving, Zhou Zhiru suddenly hugged Tang Qian, thinking it was just an ordinary hug, but she didn't expect it to be far longer than Tang Qian imagined. However, it was only a long hug. Zhou Zhiru didn't talk about emotional problems at all, but explained that Tang Qian should treat Taylor well, and don't get carried away thinking that he is a big star. Then, she smiled at Tang Qian and said, "You have to go farther and farther on this road, don't live up to your choice." ”

Tang Qian frowned and wanted to ask something, but Zhou Zhiru didn't give him a chance, and drove away with Tang's father and Tang's mother.

Forget it, I'll call when there's something to say, anyway, she's also my agent, so I'm not in a hurry.

The Lakers were relaxed, rested, trained, studied tactics, and management was not idle, and finally, before the free market closed this season, a huge deal appeared. All major platforms have released the news that the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Houston Rockets have jointly made a three-way trade. The Rockets sent off their main All-Star center, Dwight Dwight, who was known as "The Beast." Howard, Beverley, Jason. Terry et al., plus first-round picks plus a portion of cash compensation. The Clippers sent Chris off. Paul, Lance. Stephenson, Jeff. Green and so on, including draft picks in it. The Lakers sent off D'Angelo. Russell, Meeks, Famar plus some cash.

The rough trade details are as follows, and the Rockets got Chris. Paul et al. The Clippers got Howard, D'Angelo. Russell et al. The Lakers got Beverley, Lance. Stephenson plus a first-round pick. Of course, there will be details such as trade exceptions, cash, etc., which are secondary, anyway, the Lakers have already got the people they want.

At this moment, everyone was stunned, because the Lakers were "losing" no matter how they looked at it. In this era, Lance. Stephenson is still a dog. The level of is not as good. For most of the season with the Clippers, he was basically half-wasted, with only 4+2+1 data, which is basically similar to the original plane, plus the thorny personality, and no one will want it in the last year of the contract year. In fact, the original time and space are much the same, and next season is the era of the big explosion of the contract, and he only has about 4 million US knives! It's basically the price of cabbage. So no one is optimistic about him, and it is normal to treat him as an add-on. Still not clear? Originally, no one exercised his team contract option for next season, and he directly became a free agent, and then joined the Pelicans for 1 year and 1.23 million US dollars.

This is next season's Reims. Stephenson's development trajectory is that it is cheaper for him, and at that time he was simply at the level that no one in the NBA wanted. It didn't take long for him to be cut by the Pelicans, and the Timberwolves signed him on a 10-day contract, and after signing twice, he returned to the Pacers. That's who he will be next season. Almost became a "tramp".

The Lakers had no trouble getting him, and the Clippers didn't like him and wanted to send him away. The main thing is to get Beverley of the Rockets, which cost a lot of money, in the end, Beverley is still a player who has won 2 defensive teams, and the defense is very strong. So it took a long time to get it done. However, the Lakers must send so-called potential rookie D'Angelo. Russell will do it. Russell slashed 16 points in "garbage time" against the Cavaliers in the last game, shooting 100% from the field, as if letting the outside world see his energy. In addition, he himself is also talking big on the sidelines, saying that he needs a stage to shine, so many teams are extremely interested in him. and believes that his future potential is very strong, and the Lakers also "push and procrastinate", saying that it is very difficult. A lot of the guy's trade value has been raised in disguise. In the end, the Clippers don't actually want Howard, and after Howard's contract expires this season, they have no intention of keeping it, and Jordan Jr. is no worse than Howard now, but it's not impossible to try the twin towers first. The main target is still the potential rising star No. 1, Russell. Paul felt "gloomy" in his life after the last defeat to the Lakers, and felt that it was difficult for him to stay with the Clippers, so he simply proposed a trade. The Clippers persuaded for a long time, and when they saw that Paul had made up his mind, they didn't want to stay, because in fact, for so many years, the Clippers have been on one round and two tours, and they are also a little dissatisfied. After the rise of the Lakers this season, the absolute top three in the West have been formed. The Warriors, Spurs, Lakers, and Clippers are all difficult to beat, so they simply follow Paul's wishes and tear it down and rebuild it.

It's not impossible to get a young No. 1 position and train it well.

There has been no breakthrough, so you have to change, right? That's why there is a three-way deal this time.

The Rockets are also eager to send Howard away, and now that the atmosphere in the locker room between him and Harden is terrible, they must make a choice sooner, and it is clear that the Houstoners' choice is the younger James. Harden. Howard was turned into a bargaining chip and was put on the trading table by Morey. After Howard learned that he had left the Rockets, he also let out big words, saying that he was going to make Houston regret it.

But in fact, in the original plane, Howard basically said it every season. What I've gotten back to health. What I'm going to get back what I lost. I'm still the strongest inside line in the league and so on. There are a lot of big words, but it's a pity that his ability has shrunk is a fact, and his desire to replace James with the Magic period has long been a thing of the past.

So it seems that the Lakers have the least vested interests at the moment, after all, the Clippers and the Rockets have both got a real star player, and the so-called super potential No. 1 position, what about the Lakers? A Beverley who is currently $6.5 million. There is basically no team in a league to want Lance. Stevenson. As for draft picks, neither team will be high.

The Lakers lost. This news is the consensus of many people.

Everyone thinks that the Lakers have not only lost two roles off the bench, but also Russell, who is just beginning to show his potential. In addition, Russell boasted that he was simply buried in the Lakers, and the Lakers affected his growth. At the same time, he also shouted to the Lakers' management and team: I will lead the Clippers back to the top! Defeat the Purple and Gold Army!

Don't think that it's this time and space that he is playing monkey like this, in fact, the original time and space are the same, he said all this, but with slight modifications. It seems that the inertia and corrective ability of history are still very strong. A player like Russell, who has a bad brain and low emotional intelligence, is really a "second force" in any time and space.

The Clippers actually supported this guy and thought he was very "juvenile heroic", what else could Nima say?

Well, Tang Qian just answered the media's questions speechlessly: I hope he can really do it, we are waiting for them in the playoffs.

But first, they need to be able to secure a playoff spot.

As for the addition of new players, Tang Qian also welcomed it, saying that the Lakers need anyone who wants to win and play hard.

This is tantamount to putting Beverly and Lance. Stephenson secretly boasted about it. Tang Qian's current boss skills have really been mentioned a lot. Not just inside the stadium, but also off the pitch.

On February 18, U.S. time, the Lakers had a daily training session, and after relaxing for so long, everyone should also take care of it. Plus new teammates are going to join, so today Larry. Brown had the whole team come to the Toyota Sports Center early.

"I'm sure you've rested enough, and the rest of the time, focus your energy and desire on basketball, and I'm not going to allow you to think about anything else, at least until June of this year. Got it, right? "Larry. Brown's first remarks since returning to the team were very ambitious. Before June of this year? Isn't that saying that at least the Lakers are going to make it to this year's Finals?

It's really not a small tone. Beverly and Lance. Stephenson thought to himself.

After talking about the goal and direction, Larry. Brown began to look instead at Beverley and Lance. Stephenson said: "Two newcomers, my memory is not too good, I only remember hard work and tough guys, you guys, right?" ”

"Of course sir, of course we are tough men!" Neither of them is good-tempered, otherwise, they would not have such a bad reputation in the league. But Larry. Brown is also a stinky temper, he doesn't care about these things at all, he sweeps his eyes and says nonchalantly: "You can't say anything with your mouth alone, until you prove yourself, sit on the bench honestly." When the team's system can be integrated and when playing time will be available. ”

"What? You're not ready to let us play? You ...... "Lance. Stephenson had to hold back in the first place, his temper was notoriously stinky. "Yes. Lady. That's what I mean. Don't you understand? "Larry. Will Brown still be afraid of him? What thorn did he not coach? What tough guy didn't have to just pass? Iverson is a prick enough, right? Root. Wallace is tough enough, right? Isn't he just going to do what he should be? Don't know what it means to be scared and bow?

Especially newcomers, he has this attitude, I'm embarrassed, I don't have any privileges.

"You ......" Lance. Stephenson is ready to take a step forward and use his height and size to press Larry. Brown, alas, Larry. Instead, Brown took a step forward and said, "Sissy~ You think you're hanging?" You little hemp stick, in exchange for the cost here, can make you call dad in a flash. You still think you're tough? "Lance. Stephenson had never seen such a tough head coach, so he was about to burst out to scare the old man, when suddenly, he felt like he had been hit by a truck, and the whole person retreated far away to stabilize himself. When he looked up, he said angrily, "What are you doing?" Bullying? ”

The tall oriental figure looked down at him, very indifferent: "Speak well, this is the coach." ”

"Do you really think you're a big guy? You think I'm afraid of you? ”

A thorn is a thorn, but the Lakers don't have a single one who comes over to pull the rack, they all look like they're watching a big show, and they look at Lance. Stephenson is not sure so. This, no, why don't you come to the rack? Are these people from the Lakers on display? Just let the team brawl happen?

If he looked closely, he would see that these were pitiful and sympathetic eyes.

There was no worry at all and fear that the situation would get out of hand.
