But having said that, the first preseason game was lost because the Lakers made too many mistakes as a team, as many as 31!

There were so many mistakes, and it wasn't an official game, so D'Antoni quickly chose to "give up". Otherwise, it is worth wasting too much energy for the preseason, and there is no need for it. Whoever does this is a big fool.

In the evening, the Lakers team summed up the reasons for the loss of this game, too many passes, and the ball was not as smooth as it was in practice. In addition, the tacit understanding still needs to be run-in in actual combat, so he lost the first game against the Nuggets.

Seeing this, ESPN immediately jumped out and said: The Lakers lost the first game, and it is suspected that the whole team is scattered!

I'll just say that blue-collar players can't be built as the core! Bonnie. Laughlin is still not as good as Mickey. Kupchak is so spicy! - Number one "Don Black" Brian. Windhorse.

The Lakers are expected to win around 40 games this season and will not be able to make the playoffs. - ESPN Henry. Abbott.

D'Antoni's good thing about it is that his education and coaching style is encouraging, so it's a good fit for players who aren't as tough as Jeremy Lin. If this is on the Rockets, McHale sees him making so many mistakes, without saying a word, his face is pale, he will replace him, and then press on the bench, basically not giving him a chance to play.

He will then explain to the media that this is for the good of the team and that Jeremy Lin needs to handle the ball calmly.

D'Antoni was said to have gone out for a meal alone with Jeremy Lin that night, and it looked like by the time he trained the next day, Lin's frustration from last night had been swept away and he had become reinvigorated. It is also said that Jeremy Lin has not tasted the taste of "monopolizing the ball" for so long, and his role in the Rockets is more of a fixed projection and off-ball offense.

It's still the same sentence, if you don't practice for a long time, your playing style is rusty, that's normal.

As long as we can withstand this "small low tide" in the past, then in the future, there is a possibility of recovery.

In the second game, the Lakers lost again, but it was much better than the previous game, and the movement and mistakes of the ball dropped a lot.

D'Antoni stood aside and nodded silently, this rhythm, he is still acceptable, after all, there are still so many pre-season games, just need to improve steadily, he still has time and patience. Progress can be seen.

At the same time, a major event caused a sensation in the league and the entire NBA fan community.

The New York Times has announced that the NBA has reached new TV contracts with ESPN and TNT. According to the latest contract, the duration is 9 years and the total value is as high as 24 billion US dollars! An average of 2.66 billion US dollars per year! To put it simply, it's three times the original TV contract! The original average annual broadcast cost was only "only" 930 million US dollars! Valid from the end of the 2015-2016 season!

It seems that it is such a simple word, but the meaning contained in it makes the discerning person see the clues.

First of all, the entire league will greatly increase its income and influence, which is a great thing for both owners and players.

David. After Stern's departure, this is also the new NBA commissioner Adam. A big move by Sivar.

Adam. Schieval made a statement on the official website of the NBA: This will be an epoch-making contract! The NBA league has now entered a new era!

It's hard to say whether others can enter the new era, but money is definitely in.

This is the second point, the salary cap, which will definitely skyrocket in the 2016-2017 season! At that time, it is estimated that the poor ghost line will reach a very high level! This made the president of the "school flower" get the double support of the players and the boss at once!

The boss has more money, the players have more money, what a harmonious new era and new era.

Looking at it this way, the contract signed by Bosh now is simply "good quality and low price", and it is estimated that some better benches can get this price in the future.

Finally, the NBA's latest collective bargaining agreement is unlikely to be suspended, which is a big bonus.

Bonnie. Laughlin called Tang Qian on the same day, wanting to determine whether the latter would "renege on the agreement", but Tang Qian said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Ms. General Manager, I won't regret it, if the Lakers can't achieve the achievement you want this year, I will sign a long-term contract with the team next season, absolutely nothing." "Hear this, Bonnie. Laughlin's face bloomed, and he repeatedly praised Tang for keeping his promises and re-committing himself, and he was a real man!

Of course, this kind of beautiful thing is easy to say! If you can really renew Tang Qian's long-term contract before the 2016-2017 season, then the cost saved is estimated to be as high as tens of millions! In this way, what's so difficult about saying something nice?

"Yes, ma'am, but you must also remember what you promised me, that the dismissal of Boozer is only the first step, and there is still a second step to be done." Tang Qian reminded. "Don't worry, I won't break my promise, when you say it, I will immediately find someone to sign him for a long time, and promise not to break my word!" Just kidding, how much is the salary at the end of four years? The Lakers won't take it to heart!

"Okay, that's fine, I'll see you then." Tang Qian heard Bonnie. Laughlin's assurance, then nodded and hung up the phone.

In the third game, the Lakers lost again, but they lost less than the previous game, and the turnovers began to be controlled within 15.

Coupled with the fact that almost all of the main players only have less than 20 minutes of playing time, there is nothing embarrassing about being able to play like this, at least D'Antoni believes that such a result is within his tolerance. And he also has to use the preseason to test a few more sets of tactics and bench play, and it is not a scientific method to manipulate the main players.

Although, he does have this habit, and he is consciously balancing it.

After all, it's still a little different from the original time and space, Mike. D'Antoni has already won the championship trophy and championship ring, so there has been a slight change in his mentality and tactical philosophy. Added some fixed coordination when Jeremy Lin is not playing on the court, fixed tactics, small tactics between 2~3 people, etc. There are some games that prove that the tactical design that is not very easy should be given up and cut, but there are also some tactics that have worked well. D'Antoni kept it in his heart.

The role of training has not been in vain, D'Antoni has been modifying and fine-tuning this Lakers team, and he has not even used his best many times. Because he knows very well that his purpose is not the preseason, the regular season is the real stage for the Lakers to make a splash.

The preseason ended quickly, and the Lakers ended up 2-6, and the winning rate was not good, but D'Antoni was more satisfied. Because the last 2 wins have already seen that the team's basic tacit understanding is emerging, even if there are not many main players, they still have relatively strong attacking capabilities. And Jeremy Lin is gradually finding his form, and he will always live up to D'Antoni's hopes.

However, other teams didn't do much in the preseason, so everything will depend on the real start of the regular season.

But D'Antoni has more confidence, at least than he did last season and last season.

Because the current Lakers team can be regarded as a team that has injected his tactical philosophy and tactical system.

The complete pre-match training camp, the complete pre-season training, the clear position of the players in the team, and the clear division of labor, all made D'Antoni feel at ease. So no matter what the outside world thinks, he smiled as motionless as a mountain:

The preseason is over, and if you want to see if the Lakers can do it, the regular season is just the beginning.

Look forward to our Lakers 2014-2015 season.

Finally arrived here, the day after the preseason ended, the person Tang Qian was waiting for was finally laid off as scheduled.

Fortunately, the "original space-time historical trajectory" here has not changed much.

So, without further ado, although I know that he will only be taken away in November, and the time is still sufficient, but now that the history of this time and space has changed a lot by himself, who knows if there will be a sudden appearance of "Cheng Biting Gold"? In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Tang Qian dialed the office of the deputy general manager of the Lakers without hesitation and said:

"Alright, Miss Laughlin, the man I want has become a free man, you can do it, sign him. He's ......"

"Okay, I know, I'll fulfill the promise."

The next day, the Lakers issued an official statement:

The Los Angeles Lakers have a four-year-end salary and signed the undrafted pick cut by the Rockets. Covington.

……

Robert. Covington is in a daze in the house at the moment, he participated in the NBA draft in 2013, but was undrafted, and finally got a three-year contract with the Rockets, but who knew that in just one season, he was ruthlessly abandoned by Space City before he had time to show his strength. This situation deeply hit the heart of this post-90s teenager.

Why give up on me? Am I really that good? Am I really not worthy of playing in the NBA? Damn it! I don't believe it!

I swear!!! If anyone gives me another chance! I will definitely do my best to keep this opportunity! I will definitely do my best to make everyone who looks down on me slap me hard! It's like the Lakers back then!!

It is...... Will there really be a team that wants me?

I'm just a draft loser, after all? Last season's data was only a miserable 2.3+0.7? I'm in this league, do I have a future?

Just when this young man from Bellewood was a little confused and fearful about the future, and his anger was nowhere to vent, he received a call from his agent, and the phone began with the words: "Good news, Robert, the Lakers are interested in signing you, and it is a 4-year long-term contract, but the salary may only be around the base salary, are you willing?" ”

Would I like to? I, of course I do! As long as a team wants me, I'm willing to go now!

I don't care what the basic salary is, what the long-term contract! I need a chance to prove myself!

Basically, without much thought, he signed a four-year, $3.09 million contract with the Lakers, the last year of which is a team option, and the guaranteed amount is not bad, more than half. This is a very generous and good treatment in the basic salary contract.

And this, too, is Bonnie. Laughlin is known for a signing, a discernment.

It was also the great success of this signing that completely made Mickey. Disheartened, Kupchak offered to leave the position of general manager of the Lakers.

At this point, the Lakers' total salary this season has been released, 78.07 million US dollars, exceeding the team salary cap of 63.065 million this season and the luxury line of 76.829 million this season. However, because the amount exceeded is not much, the Lakers management does not feel sorry for this luxury tax. After all, they used to pay luxury tax, and they were all big members of the alliance, so what is this million? Mere trifle!

At this point, the Lakers' lineup is fully formed, and the basic framework for the future has also surfaced.

Even if D'Antoni is not good at adjusting his defense, this lineup can make up for one of the biggest shortcomings of his tactical system with his individual defensive ability. Original Time and Space 2014-2015 Season Robert. Covington averages 13.5+4.5+1.5+1.4+0.4 per game. The speed of progress is completely similar to last year. The most important thing is that Tang Qian values his three-point shooting ability and defense, especially defense, and he is the kind of person who does not suffer from the perfect rotation of outside and interior defense. This kind of person will be the best 3D player in the future! Although he didn't know what would happen to him after this season, Tang Qian suggested that the Lakers management take a small "gamble" to gamble that this young man from Belwood, Illinois, could continue the performance of the 2014-2015 season, gambling that he is not the kind of player who is a flash in the pan and a meteor.

This is the profit of Tang Qian's last "prophet", as for why not choose another "grassroots star" who played this season, Da Baibian Hassan. Whiteside? The reason is that the latter is also a 7-foot center, and the latter's expansion ability is not good enough with himself, and the rebounding ability is better than himself? Can the cap be stronger than yourself? Choosing him is that the positions overlap greatly, and it can't have the effect of "one plus one is greater than two". In that case, it is useless to ask for him. There is no need to use it to play as a substitute for himself, first of all, the Lakers have accumulated a lot of people inside, and secondly, he doesn't want to use this means to destroy the trajectory of a person's supposed "rise", he doesn't have that kind of fetish. As a basketball player, Tang Qian longs for competition, rather than relying on something off the court to solve problems.

That's not his style.

He doesn't want to be as "shrewd" as James, he wants pure competition, and then, defeat his opponent openly and reach the top! This is one of Tang Qian's basketball concepts, so he will not abolish the rise of a "grassroots legend" for something! In his basketball philosophy, it is to wait for you to grow up, and then, fight head-on, and then destroy it with your own hands and "kill" it, which is Tang Qian's basketball mastery.

to meet his "basketball appetite".

So he chose 3D player Robert. Covington.

used the ability of the "Last Prophet" to finally "seek a little welfare" for himself and the team.

When he first came to the Lakers, this young man was still a little restrained, because the Lakers' team background is too strong, and they now have Tang Qian and Bosh on the team, plus the rest of the role players and bench players who are not weak. Covington didn't know what to do, what position to play.

But he soon discovered that the rumored No. 29 of the Lakers was very approachable, especially for training, and the requirements were very strict. But as long as you train and play seriously, he will be pleasant and not look like some kind of "brutal" at all. But as soon as Robert. Covington heard that before the start of the preseason, Carlos Brown, who had just signed a contract. Boozer angered Tang Qian because he was lazy in training, and then ...... was lifted up in front of everyone, and then thrown directly out of the door of the training hall.

This kind of thing, I have heard that the stars before the 90s have had it, and if they don't agree with each other, it is a fist warning, but now it's the 21st century, who doesn't pay attention to team harmony now? For example, the Rockets team he stayed in was like this, the whole was full of "happy basketball" atmosphere, Harden and Howard were the two pillars who liked to play treasure and funny jokes, and even often took them to bars and nightclubs to have fun.

It's only been the 14-15 season, and Harden hasn't woken up, and Howard hasn't been completely positioned. It's no surprise that Covington feels that way. But...... Seriously, he prefers the current team atmosphere of the Lakers, full of urgency and competition when training, and the most important thing is that the team boss leads by example and practices for a long time, which makes the rest of the players embarrassed to be lazy and play soy sauce? Therefore, the ancient saying of the country, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, which is not unreasonable.

In the NBA, what is the core members of a team, and what is the cultural atmosphere of the team. Tang Qian inherited Kobe Bryant and Jordan very well in this regard, he is not a happy beast, he is the tyrant Tang.

Of course, the most special thing is that the young boss of the Lakers seems to have a good impression of himself, he let himself practice more three-point shooting, do his best when defending, and be an irreplaceable 3D player for the Lakers. This kind of clear team positioning suddenly made Robert . As if opening the door to his potential, Covington instantly began to grow stronger.

yes, the best 3D player, why didn't you think of it before? Okay, let's start with that!

It is said that this contract was signed by the management, which shows that he is still more optimistic about me, and I can't let him down either!

Come on, Robert. Covington, you can definitely stand in this big league!!

While the Lakers were still in full swing of training, ESPN and Sports Illustrated made a joint report, which roughly meant:

There's a good chance the Cavaliers will be on top of their game this season, and there's no team in the league to compete with!

LeBron. James has a bright future! He will be the strongest No. 3 in NBA history! He will have a chance to enter President Hill!

Seeing this, Tang Qian just pouted slightly, he felt that ESPN really liked James too much, but what he didn't know was that there was even more touting waiting in the future, for example, after James won his third championship trophy in the original time and space, several major media in the United States immediately couldn't wait to put James on the throne of the second person in history.

There is no doubt that James is in the top 10 in history, and it is also possible to be in the top five in history or President Hill in the future, but second in history......

Is there an all-time second with so few championships? Is there the second highest win rate in the history of the finals? Isn't this an insult to the first-ranked God Qiao? Isn't it an insult to the rest of the historical legends who have struggled for so many years and got so many rings?

Tang Qian believes that without 5 championships, don't talk about any historical second.

Someone else has so many championships and isn't it a championship? James, you are the champion of the "Peak Three" team, and the gold content needs to be verified. No one said, what are you talking about the second person in the triple crown? The era when you played, especially after the full peak, the real top ten stars in history are all aging, and the young players are not at the same level as you, etc., you won't come here and not admit that James is a level higher than the current young players, right? That's not what you said when you blew it.

suppressed in a high position, but only three championships, and almost every time it was thrilling, it's not fair to say that.

As for the fact that you said that you ran into the later cosmic bravery...... Didn't Green and Durant answer in person?

You're the originator of the Super Team! You've paved the way for them to join the Super League!

But it's still the year of singles, and when he retires, it's hard for James to sit on it.

Tang Qian is not without ambition, but his current goal is to become a legendary star, step by step, is his way of basketball. When you reach this level, you will naturally think about the next level. It's a matter of course.

And it's hard for others to say, for James, Tang Qian has great confidence and restraint.

Everyone else is afraid of the king, but I'm sorry, I'm not afraid at all, and I'm even looking forward to seeing you.

I'll let you see, my growth.

On October 28, 2014, the Los Angeles Lakers were selected as one of the league's six opener teams.

The six teams are the Mavericks, Spurs, Rockets, Magic, Pelicans, and Lakers.

And like the original plane, in the first game of the opening game of the 2014-2015 season, the Lakers' opponent was ......

Houston Rockets.

As soon as Tang Qian saw this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
