Chapter 211, Lakers training camp opens
As soon as he entered, the Zen master hung up his coat, took a glass of water to Huang Yu with a disposable cup, and then sat on the chair and let out a comfortable moan! Huang Yu laughed in his heart, it seems that this old waist has also been destroyed, otherwise who would not enjoy coming back to work with a gentle township?
Of course, the slap in the face immediately appeared.
"Hey! Phil, I heard Rain is here for you! ”
I saw Kobe Bryant push open the office door and walk in.
The corners of Huang Yu's mouth twitched, there is really such a person!
"Oh, Kobe, I've got something to do with Rain, and he'll be over in a minute!"
The Zen master glanced at Kobe Bryant and said.
"Good!"
Kobe patted Huang Yu on the shoulder and walked out.
"I think you have also seen the transaction situation of the Lakers this season, and I will not beat around the bush, now there are Artest, Odom, you, and Wharton in the No. 3 position, even if Odom can go to the guest forward, but the number of cameos in a season will not be many, and it is destined to compete with the three of you for playing time, and only your position on the court will not show any obvious discomfort after the change, so I decided to let you play the No. 2 position in the new season! Be the main scorer for the team's second team. ”
The Zen master did not hide it at all, and directly told Huang Yu that you will not be of much use in the small forward position in the new season, and you need to make changes, and I will compensate you accordingly.
Unless the position of the lama is changed to a big forward at the expense of data, if he plays a point guard, it is a sinkhole, and Artest is a scoring guard without speed, a big forward without height, and his excellent defensive ability at the small forward position is the key to the Lakers to introduce him, and he is expected to fight Pierce in the new season! How could he change it, as for Wharton, he was destined to be a 10,000-year substitute! There is no possibility of change, nor the ability to compete with the first two for playing time.
And for Huang Yu, who is on the rise, the Lakers obviously don't want to waste, although Huang Yu's breakthrough ability at scoring guard may not be enough, but accurate long-range shooting can at least be used as a long-range battery before the start of the season, and from last season, Huang Yu's physical fitness can still be effectively improved, although it may not be destined to become a task like Wade and Iverson, but at least there is still a chance to become a Ray Allen.
And last season's Odom as a substitute was not bad, this season the Zen master decided to let him play as a substitute most of the time, and Artest played as a starting small forward, and Huang Yu's attack power last season was not weak, but the discerning people could see that it was not fully developed, so he decided to let Huang Yu serve as Kobe's substitute, and bring attack power to the Lakers' bench lineup like last season, and Huang Yu will have more shots in the bench lineup.
After fully developing Huang Yu's offensive power this season, the Lakers will definitely face a big change next season! Shannon Brown, Josh Powell, Derek Fisher, Jordan Farmal, all have to start contract renewal work, and this is when the role of Huang Yu becomes very large.
If the Lakers successfully defend their title this season, those players who need to renew their contracts are likely to choose to leave the Lakers with big contracts, and if the old fish and Jordan Farmar fail to renew their contracts, then they will have to be strengthened on the point guard end.
You must know that in 2010, there will be a lot of big fish on the free market, although they may not be able to trade the Lakers, but there are many high-quality options, just because their eyes are focused on the little emperor LeBron James (today's best and most sought after superstar), the Flash Dwyane Wade (the second "big fish" after James) and the dragon king Chris Bosh (he is likely to change the door next year), so that everyone ignores other talented players. (The Zen master is not omnipotent, and the Miami Big Three directly stimulated the other superstars, so the Zen master was also taken aback....... )
----------
For example, Manuginobili of the Spurs (this is enough to choke, Popovich's guy may not let go, although the demon knife is still so coquettish and often does unbelievable things, but Popovich said that he is used to it, rest assured), but although Manubi at this time is more reliable when he has hair, the Lakers may not be able to get it.
As for the Celtic Ray Allen, the Zen master is even less confident, and the Green Army will not be able to defeat the enemy if he is killed! And Carlos Boozer is also very suitable for the Lakers, but he is not worth pursuing, and he can't come to the Lakers to play as a substitute! The lama doesn't have to be bad, but the substitute starters have nothing, and of course the Zen master doesn't know that Odom will get worse and worse season after season.
As for the old shark Shaq O'Neal, the semi-scrapped Tracy McGrady, and the former Guardian of the Forbidden Zone, the current glass man Marcus Camby has no trade value!
The remaining players who can be named are Jermaine O'Neal and Ralph Alston left, but the Lakers are in Odom and Gasol, O'Neal Jr. is useless to trade, and he has ten trading hazards as he gets older and has more injuries, and it is not a good choice to smash it in his hands if he doesn't do it, and Ralph Alston is worth trading to the Lakers as a backup, but this is also in the absence of renewing Fisher's contract, he will choose to trade him.
The above are all unrestricted free agents, so the chips paid by the Lakers in the trade are relatively more valuable, but it is only the three related transactions of the Little Emperor and the Flash and Bosh, which require the Lakers to increase the trade chips. (Even if the Lakers have a chance, they won't trade them, first, they don't need to, and second, they come to grab the ball and fight!) )
Like Ginobili and Ray Allen, if they can make a trade, as long as the Lakers come up with Huang Yu, it is estimated that they will let go! Rookie Game MVP+2008-2009 Rookie of the Year, member of the championship team, non-soy sauce type, with playoff Finals experience, a single exchange is absolutely suitable, as long as it can be traded.
As for O'Neal Jr. and Alston if there is a trade, the Lakers can still make some compensation, such as trade exceptions or cash, second-round picks or something!
Of course, the Lakers also have other options, such as the team will become an unrestricted free agent if they don't renew their contracts this summer, including Rajon Rondo (sworn enemy, it's useless, anyone under the leadership of the Big Three will not have bad statistics, although passing and defending are top-notch, but not scoring is a hard injury!) ), Luis Scola (don't trade with that fat paper, it's easy to be pitted!) ), Rudy Gay (not very technically strong and overly reliant on it), Randy Foyer and Ronnie Brewer are good, but their Mavericks and Wizards don't have anyone else they want.
While there are players like Amar Studemire, Paul Pearce, Dek Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Giants, Michael Reed, Richard Jefferson, Pejastojakovic, Kenyon, Martin and T.J. Ford who have player or team options, such players can't be exchanged except for the Lakers, or they don't have the money to change them!!
----------
"Okay, I trust the coach's vision and advice!"
Huang Yu agreed to the Zen master's suggestion, and complimented him insincerely, and his heart was scolded, if he didn't agree, it was estimated that he would spend most of this season on the bench! Although he changed to a scoring guard, he did a useless part of his extra points, but since the Zen master said to compensate, it must be the right to shoot, so that his data in the new season will be better than last season! As Bill Duffy said, there are many teams that want yellow rain, but more are waiting!
"Very good, go ahead, I still need to work out more detailed lineup changes!"
Obviously, the Zen master was satisfied with Huang Yu's answer.
Huang Yu, who walked to the driving range, saw Kobe Bryant and they were fighting bulls.
"Kobe! Why are you staying, let's go head-to-head! ”
Huang Yu smiled and found Kobe Bryant to start today's journey of being abused!
The players present were stunned, this kid is sick today, right? Usually Kobe Bryant asked this kid to come out and go head-on, although he was a little reluctant, but he still tried his best for progress, but what's wrong today! Could it be a disease that arises from abuse? Actually took the initiative to find abuse?
Kobe Bryant smiled slightly, he knew what was going on, young man! A little grumpy! Come on! Let me comfort and comfort you, and let you know how cruel the world is! (The Q version of Kobe Bryant has horns on his head, wings on his back, and a triangular pointed tail on his buttocks!) Also holding a fork in his hand)
----------
Just after Kobe Bryant abused Huang Yu for two rounds, the Zen master and other assistant coaches arrived at the scene, and after all the bullfights on the field were over, they announced the assembly!
"Now I'll tell you, the summer league is over, the team has signed Tony Gaffney, David Munz, Michael Gherbal and Michael Fay, and they will be training with you and hopefully you can help them settle into the team faster!"
The assistant coach announced that four newcomers will be added to the team,
Gaffney is this year's undrafted rookie, averaging 11.5 points and 10.2 rebounds per game in the NCAA last season.
David Munz averaged 14 points and 5.2 rebounds per game for the Lakers in this year's Summer League.
Michael Gherbar, a Frenchman, averaged 16.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game last season as a D-Fenders player for the Lakers' NBDL team, and he also played for the SuperSonics, averaging 4.5 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.
Michael Fay, like Huang Yu, is from the prestigious UCLA. The 7-foot giant was drafted in the NBA draft after four years of college but was undrafted, he averaged only 5.2 points and 2.7 rebounds per game in his college career, and last season he played for Al Shabab in the United Arab Emirates, although he was in the same school as Huang Yu, but he had nothing to do with Huang Yu, he left UCLA for two years before Huang Yu joined!
Let's not say that Huang Yu has no weight in the Lakers, even if he doesn't open that mouth, it is tantamount to crossing the line and will be annoying, and the current Lakers team has a huge lineup, counting the four new signings signed today, the Lakers' training camp roster has reached 17 players. However, because all four are non-guaranteed contracts, and the Lakers are currently overstaffed, they will be cut in the new season, and it will be interesting to see who will catch the last train of the regular season lineup.
----------
As is customary, everyone should have a physical examination to see what kind of changes have happened to everyone's body after this offseason!
Odom, who was in front of Huang Yu, obviously looked a little unsightly, so he didn't have to think about it, he probably was squeezed dry!
Sure enough, during the strength test, according to the average of Odom's bench press weight last season, Odom lay there and grabbed the barbell with both hands, and chose to reduce it with a little force, until he lost 20 pounds, Odom began to test normally, but the results were also unsatisfactory, far worse than last year.
Odom, whose arms trembled a little, felt a murderous aura staring at him as soon as he came together, and immediately knew who the lama was, and he didn't even look back and went directly to the next test.
Huang Yu looked at Kobe's black face, thinking that if Odom didn't come up with something today, it was estimated that he would be easily targeted by Kobe Bryant, so he would practice to death! In fact, it won't be so exaggerated, he doesn't even have the strength to hehe when he goes home.
Next, Bynum's strength test made Kobe's face look a little better, although he did not grow but it was not easy to maintain it, and then it was Huang Yu's turn, as we all know, Huang Yu's bench press performance was very bad when he joined the Lakers, and the 70 kg bench press was only 5 times! Although Durant's test is quite scary 84 kg 0 times, but the result is somewhat watery, the 84 kg bench press that is more popular in the NBA, no one will believe that he Durant can't do any of them, but the media belittled it and some people believed it (Trailblazers!). Whipped again! )

Suddenly deprecated that someone believed it (Pioneers!) Whipped again! Suddenly, some people believed (Pioneers!) Whipped again! )
