Perhaps because of the victory of the mourning soldiers, the Lakers finally defeated the Cavaliers, and after the game, the Lakers players also learned the news of Zhang Guan's joining. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, they didn't show any joy, the Lakers now have a record of 17-32, and even five players on the court are almost out of line, such a team, even if Jordan is there in person, may not be able to make a difference to the Lakers.

And the Lakers are going to Pennsylvania next to take on the Philadelphia 76ers, a team with an even worse record than the Lakers. So the Lakers players don't have time to pay attention to what changes Zhang Guan's arrival will bring to the Lakers.

At the same time, in Los Angeles, Zhang Guan first transferred his stake in the Lakers to Hermione, which was also considered to save some unnecessary trouble. But in anyone's opinion, this is just a change of soup and not a change of medicine. There is no difference between his girlfriend's control of the Lakers' equity and Zhang Guan's control of the Lakers' equity.

Then, Zhang Guan went through the necessary formalities such as a medical examination, and the signing ceremony was postponed by a day because NBA commissioner Xiao Hua had to come to Los Angeles to preside over the signing ceremony in person.

After the signing ceremony, it was a session for reporters to ask questions.

"Zhang Guan, I'm a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, why did you choose to join the Lakers at this time?" A blonde female journalist was the first to get the right to ask questions.

"Actually, the Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA League send me an invitation every year, and I would like to thank them for their kindness. I've said before that I'll join the Lakers when they need me the most, and I think the Lakers now should be the time when they need me the most. Zhang Guan said with a smile.

Zhang Guan's words drew a good-natured laugh, the Lakers' poor record of 17-32 so far, coupled with the embarrassment of not even five players, is indeed in need of fresh blood.

"Zhang Guan, the Lakers fans are very much looking forward to your joining, and they even call you the Lakers' 'savior', how do you feel about that? Feeling stressed? Another reporter from a local Los Angeles media asked.

"Of course there's pressure, and I'm grateful to the Lakers fans for their love for me, and I'm going to do everything I can to help the Lakers win." Zhang Guan replied.

Another reporter stood up and asked, "Half of the season has been played, and there are about 30 games to play, what are your goals for the rest of the Lakers' season?" ”

"Playoffs, of course." Zhang Guan replied without hesitation.

"Uh, I'm very sorry, maybe I didn't describe it clearly, I mean this season, not next season." The reporter said right away.

"I'm talking about this season, this season's playoffs!" Zhang Guan said categorically.

"You mean, you're going to lead the Lakers to the playoffs this season? I'm not wrong that way, right? The reporter immediately asked.

"You understand right, there are just over two months left until the end of the regular season this season, and my goal in those two months is to lead the Lakers to the playoffs!"

Whoa...... The reporters at the scene immediately blew up.

The playoffs are such a small goal for the Lakers in the past, so small that they can't even be considered a goal, but for today's Lakers, with a record of 17 wins and 32 losses, it is difficult to enter the playoffs.

"I heard you right, Zhang Guan said that he was going to lead the Lakers to the playoffs, and he really regarded himself as the savior of the Lakers!"

"With the current record of the Lakers, if you want to enter the playoffs, how is it possible!"

"I think Zhang Guan probably doesn't know much about the NBA's schedule and system, so he said such unreliable things."

"Is Zhang Guan confusing the East with the West, this is the West, and now the Lakers' record is not at the bottom, and it is still in the playoffs?"

"In the East, with a 17-32 record, it is unlikely to enter the playoffs, and now the teams in the East that can touch the playoffs have more than 20 wins!"

"If you want me to say, Zhang Guan is simply arrogant, does he think that he can win the American team twice and dominate the NBA? International basketball is completely different from the NBA, wait and see, he will soon taste the lesson.

The reporters whispered, and almost everyone was questioning, some people felt that Zhang Guan didn't know much about the rules of the NBA and didn't understand American basketball; And some people simply think that Zhang Guan is arrogant.

……

The news of Zhang Guan's joining the Lakers has spread all over the world, and Zhang Guan's declaration that he will lead the Lakers to the playoffs is also widely known.

At the first moment, those sports commentators in the United States spoke out one after another. These basketball commentators usually count on some topics to attract fans, and now they have jumped out of the wind after Zhang Guan joined the NBA.

The first to speak out, of course, was the former superstar Barkley, this guy was originally a big mouth, and he kissed the donkey's ass because he was open-mouthed. But to be honest, Barkley's comments are still very professional, and just by virtue of saying that he kisses the ass of a donkey, it still proves that his character is good.

"Into the playoffs? That's 100 percent impossible for the Lakers right now. Now the Lakers' record is so bad that it can be said to be hopeless, Zhang Guan may be able to save the Lakers' record, but it is absolutely impossible to bring the Lakers into the playoffs! I think Zhang Guan must not know how fierce the competition is in this year's western team. Among the teams that are now ranked sixth to ninth in the West, the Golden State Warriors are 30-20, the Phoenix Suns are 29-20, the Dallas Mavericks are 28-21, and the Memphis Grizzlies are 26-21. The Minnesota Timberwolves, 10th in the West, hold a 50% win rate, but are about to miss the playoffs. The Lakers are already too far behind, and they won't be able to catch up in the next two months! ”

At the end, Barkley also added very deadly: "If the Los Angeles Lakers can enter the playoffs this season, I am willing to kiss the ass of the donkey again!" ”

Compared with Barkley, "Magic" Johnson's comments are more data-based.

"I think Zhang Guan probably doesn't know much about the NBA, so he said that he wants to lead the Lakers to the playoffs. The Lakers beat the Philadelphia 76ers in their last game, improving their record to 18 wins and 32 losses. But in the fiercely competitive west, this result is still at the bottom of the ranks. The competition in the West this year is too cruel, the top teams in the West have won more than 40 games, and I estimate that the threshold of this year's Western Conference playoffs will reach an astonishing 50 wins! If the Lakers want to reach the 50-win threshold, they need to win at least 32 games, and the Lakers only have 32 regular season games left, which means that in the next games, the Lakers have to win every game, which is really an impossible task! ”

"Magic" Johnson is also one of the commentators on ESPN, and he is also an old courtier of the Lakers, so he has to speak a lot more politely.

The former head coach of the Rockets, Van Gundy Jr., said: "The Lakers this season are indeed unlucky, they have encountered a wave of injuries in their eyes, and the current Lakers team is indeed lacking in morale, Zhang Guan uses this method to motivate the morale of Lakers players." I also don't think that Zhang Guan can lead the Lakers into the playoffs, and the threshold for this year's Western Conference playoffs is really too high. ”

"And I advise Los Angeles Lakers fans, don't have too much hope for Zhang Guan in the short term, after all, Zhang Guan has never played in the NBA, and he doesn't know D'Antoni's tactics, it can be said that in the Lakers, Zhang Guan is a person who is completely outside the tactical system, and it is still unknown how much role he can play, so I think that the Lakers will continue to lose, and wait until next month, Zhang Guan and the team gradually run in and adapt to the team's tactical system, and the Lakers' performance will improve. Of course, the Lakers next season are still worth looking forward to, and the Big Four of Gasol, Nash, Kobe Bryant and Zhang Guan will be a favorite to win the championship if they can stay healthy! ”

On the Internet, the comments of ordinary netizens are much more intense.

"The Lakers are in the playoffs, what a dream! With the current Lakers, it is already a blessing that the results are not at the bottom, and they even hope to enter the playoffs! Zhang Guan is too arrogant! It's the United States, but it's the NBA, it's not for him to come here! ”

"Does Zhang Guan think of himself as Jordan? Even Jordan can't lead the current Lakers to the playoffs. Zhang Guan's boast is too big, I want to see what Zhang Guan's expression will be when the Lakers have not entered the playoffs at the end of the regular season! ”

"If the Lakers want to make the playoffs, they need to win at least 30 more games, and maybe even 32! Next, the Lakers have six consecutive home courts, the opponents are the Bulls, Jazz, Thunder, Rockets, Celtics and Nets, except for the Jazz is a soft persimmon, the others are not easy to deal with, I think these six home courts, the Lakers will lose at least four! At that time, there will be no hope for the playoffs, and let's see what Zhang Guan has to say! ”

Amid the buzz of fans across the United States, the Lakers finally returned to their home court.

In the first three away games, the Lakers won two games in the absence of major generals. Of course, the poor strength of the opponent is also a reason, for example, the Philadelphia 76ers, who just won the game, are the bottom team in the East, with a 15-35 record, which is worse than the Lakers.

And then back in Los Angeles, the Lakers will face the Chicago Bulls who are coming to challenge them on the road.

The Lakers, who have just experienced three away games, only returned to Los Angeles on February 8, and the whole team was on vacation on this day, and on February 9, the Lakers were going to face the Bulls, so Zhang Guan and the Lakers players had no chance to run in at all, and they were not familiar with each other.

Zhang Guan is a rookie, but no one will treat Zhang Guan as a rookie, and all players know that Zhang Guan took advantage of Kobe's injury to be the boss.

Zhang Guan also holds 4.5% of the Lakers' shares, and he is also the small boss of the Lakers, and now the Lakers can play players, except for Nash, the others are substitutes, marginal people and newcomers, naturally dare not offend the boss, and a group of role players do not dare to challenge Zhang Guan's authority. So on the first day Zhang Guan came to the team, he naturally became the boss of the team, and no one dared to disagree.

……

On the evening of Feb. 9, Staples Field in downtown Los Angeles was packed.

Outside the stadium, Zhang Guan's posters have taken up all the advertising pages, and Zhang Guan's jersey has also begun to be sold in the souvenir shop inside the stadium.

All this indicates that Zhang Guan will officially make his debut this evening and usher in one of his NBA games.
