The Lakers' roster is relatively stable, so no one thought that the Lakers would make a trade. www.biquge.info However, Keith Applelin was a fringe player who couldn't play with the Lakers, and sending it away didn't make a difference. It's a shame that the 16-year first-round pick he got from the Pelicans.

Because if the Lakers maintain their championship strength, it will definitely be difficult to have draft picks in the future. And a first-round pick would undoubtedly give the Lakers an opportunity to add to the bench in the future. In that case, the Lakers' competitiveness can undoubtedly be enhanced.

However, when the deal did happen, there was no bad talk among Lakers fans. They were delighted with Maddy's arrival, after all, many people had a very good impression of this scoring guard who was able to go toe-to-toe with Kobe Bryant. Although Maddie is very old and his athletic ability is not as good as it used to be, he is after all one of the four quarterbacks in the league, and his game experience and popularity are incomparable to ordinary players.

The important thing is that after Maddie's systematic training in the Mavericks, his personal strength is still quite good, and he is good enough to be a substitute for a team. And, his experience and scoring skills have every chance of making him an X-factor on the field. Because if he broke out, it would be unstoppable.

In the early hours of the next morning, Maddie traveled from Dallas to Los Angeles.

On that day, that is, the 21st. At about 9 o'clock, Lakers general manager Kupchak held a press conference for Maddy.

"It's the only trade we have made this season, and I think Tracy can make a really good impact for the Lakers and he'll be a great addition to our bench." Speaking to the news media, Kupchak said.

It seems that Kupchak should like Maddie more, and he must have planned to get Maddie this time. And now the success is undoubtedly due to the better timing.

After all, Maddie and Kobe Bryant have competed for many years at the beginning, and Maddie was once considered better than Kobe. And now, things are wrong, Maddie came to the Lakers to play Kobe Bryant's backup. This makes people very curious, what kind of feeling does Maddie feel. After all, as an all-star, everyone has their own pride.

"In the days that followed, I was more hopeful of winning the championship. The Lakers are the team that has the best chance of making my dream come true, and I'm very happy to be on this team. Speaking to the media, Maddie said, "Although it was a bit sudden, I think I will quickly adapt to my current role. I'm not a superstar anymore after all, and I'm going to put a lot of stuff down...... I don't think about the past with Kobe, and now Tracy only thinks about how to help the Lakers defend their title. ”

Maddie seemed calm, he really didn't have anything to get excited about.

Seriously, he didn't want to be teammates with Kobe, but now he really doesn't have any options, after all, Dallas has already traded him.

However, Maddie is still willing to play for the Lakers, after all, the competitiveness of the Lakers this season is obvious to all. More importantly, he wanted to see the legendary extremely young Lakers head coach.

Maddie's choice of jersey is the No. 1 jersey, which is in line with what fans expected.

Because it's not surprising that Maddie likes No. 1, after all, he wears No. 1 jersey when he is with the Magic and the Rockets. And now that he has re-worn the No. 1 jersey with the Lakers, it may mean that he wants to have a new journey in his career......

For Maddie, he didn't think about what kind of intersection and future he had with Chu Xuan.

After the press conference, Maddie met with Chu Xuan, who was attending the Lakers' in-team training session for the first time.

Bryant and Maddie had a brief chat, and then there was not much communication.

And then, Maddie found Chu Xuan, his eyes were full of curiosity. It turned out that this was Chu Xuan, the youngest NBA best coach...... Moreover, still a Chinese!

"Chu, in the coming days, I hope you can give me more advice."

Maddie smiled faintly, looking very calm.

This kind of attitude of his is something that many young people can't do. This can also make people feel that Maddie still has the characteristics of a star in his bones, although his ability is still not worthy of the identity of a star. And this trait just makes him very natural in the face of Chu Xuan, and there will be no tension and restraint.

Chu Xuan stared at Maddie, Maddie's mental state at this time was obviously much better than in previous years, he seemed quite energetic, but the momentum on his body was not as strong as when he was at his peak.

"Well, Tracy, you're very welcome to the Lakers. I believe that you will have a very wonderful journey in the coming days. ”

Maddie nodded, noncommittal. He feels he is still good enough to start, but many teams are clearly not hopeful of that. As for the Lakers, Chu Xuan has always been known for his bold use of people. And Maddie is still looking forward to Chu Xuan being able to reuse him because of this.

However, Maddie seems to be overestimating his own influence.

The meeting between the two was very simple, Chu Xuan didn't say anything, nor did he talk about letting him play a role, just letting him train with the team...... It wasn't until five days after the trade that the Lakers flew away to play the Dallas Mavericks, and Maddy, who was about to lose his breath, finally got his Lakers debut.

"Tracy, through my observations over the past few days, you are still very competitive, and you are eager to get back to glory. Now you do have the strength, and I also hope to be able to give you more important roles. It's just that I hope you can strive for these things through your own efforts...... In my opinion, this is very important. ”

Chu Xuan's words calmed Maddy's heart a little, and he also understood that if he wanted to get a more important position in the Lakers, he needed to work his own. Therefore, he no longer fantasized that Chu Xuan could make it convenient for him.

Against the Mavericks, Maddie has a great desire to show herself. In the end, he had 12 minutes and scored seven points on 3-of-7 shooting. The performance is remarkable.

In this game, the Lakers and Mavericks played very, very fiercely, and it was not until the last minute of the game that the two sides decided the winner. The Lakers narrowly defeated the Mavericks 126-121.

The Mavericks were able to play this role with the Lakers, and Anthony was definitely a great contributor, contributing a season-high 46 points, almost single-handedly fighting the Lakers. It is worth mentioning that after scoring 46 points this time, Anthony's lead in the scoring title competition with Westbrook came to 0.3 points. Anthony is hopeful of winning his first scoring title this season...... (To be continued.) )
