NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

It can only be said that the gold-level turntable is worthy of being a gold-level turntable, and the gold content is still high.

Lin Fei's lottery draw has directly improved the strength of the Lakers by a large margin!

It is mainly to alleviate the Lakers' injury problems, physical problems and critical moment problems.

The current Lakers have no obvious shortcomings.

The only shortcoming is the center position, but in the West, the Lakers' center is not too weak, even considered strong.

Even against a strong team in the Eastern Conference, the Lakers are not very weak.

The current strength of the Lakers, in Lin Fei's mind, is a proper finals-level team, and it can even be said to be the only team.

But having said that, you still have to walk step by step. After entering the playoffs, anything can happen. Every playoff team is not a soft persimmon!

The Lakers must also be prepared to pick their opponents.

According to the previous discussions between Lin Fei and Vogel, the ideal position for the Lakers should be No.4 in the West!

In the previous life, this position should be the position of the Mavericks!
Now if the Lakers can rank No.4, the Mavericks will be squeezed to the No.5 position, so they should play the Mavericks in the first round.

If there is no accident after that, the second round should be against the Suns, and the Western Conference Finals will be against the Warriors.

The reason for this arrangement is to seek stability.

First of all, in the first round, against the Mavericks, it can be said that it was a direct duel between two big cores with the ball, James and Doncic!
There is no doubt about Dongcic's strength, and he is definitely one of the best in the new generation!
But James is not weak, he has been famous for a long time, James has a lot of experience, and the Lakers' configuration is stronger than that of the Mavericks. Even the relatively weak center position, the Lakers are much better than the Mavericks!

The center of the Mavericks can be said to be the weakest among the playoff teams!
In the previous life, when facing the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, the Mavericks' inside line was blown up by the Warriors' inside line, and by Rooney.

Now when the Mavericks face the Lakers' Howard, Cousins, Boucher and thick eyebrows, I'm afraid the inside line will be completely blown to pieces.

Coupled with the help of a large number of bonus cards in the Lin Fei system, the Lakers have a very, very good chance of winning.

Of course, it cannot be said to be a sure win. Once the Mavericks' three-point rain starts, no team can withstand it.

The reason why he chose to play the Mavericks is that the chances of winning are correspondingly higher.

Second, enter the second round and play the Suns.

The paper strength of the Suns looks very strong, but Paul, who is also older, is not as good as James, and has the bonus of Lin Fei's system.

Paul's physical strength is very problematic. When the time comes to play the Suns, once the Lakers choose to double-team Booker, the Suns will be very difficult.

This set of strategies was used by the Lakers against the Suns during the regular season, and the effect is obviously very, very good!
So, the odds are great.

Finally, when entering the Western Conference Finals, against the Warriors.

Since the Lakers are No.4, the Warriors will not play against the Nuggets in the first round like in their previous lives, but should instead play against the Jazz.

Against the Jazz, the Warriors should have an easy win.

In the second round after that, no surprises, the Warriors will play against the Grizzlies as they did in their previous lives.

If everything develops according to the previous life, when the Warriors played the Grizzlies in the second round, Gary Payton II, an important puzzle player in the team, would be maliciously injured by Grizzlies player Dillon Brooks, and he would be unable to play due to injury!

Then, in the Western Conference Finals, the strength of the Warriors will decline, which is one of the reasons why the Lakers want to face the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.

Moreover, the Warriors' inside line is also very weak, which is why the Lakers have a relatively large chance of winning.

Of course, this is all the script that Lin Fei imagined.

Maybe things will be completely out of control. Can the Lakers get their wish and rank No.4? Will other teams rank the same as in the previous life? Can you advance?

This is the result that Lin Fei cannot control.

It's up to people to make things happen, and the only thing Lin Fei can do is to make the Lakers try their best to be No.4 in the West.

Don't look at the Lakers' winning streak now, but because the Lakers played too badly at the beginning of the season, including the previous trade for Westbrook and Horton Tucker, they were allowed to swipe their data, and their record was also very poor. Therefore, the Lakers The team's record is not very satisfactory, and now it is only ranked No.6 in the West.

But fortunately, it is still far from the end of the regular season. According to the strength of the Lakers, rushing to No.4 in the Western Conference is not a big problem.

Moreover, to be honest, now is not the time to think about how to improve the record!

Now the most eye-catching place in the NBA is the All-Star Game!
That's right, the All-Star game is about to start, and the entire Lakers team, James and Big Eyebrow, have successfully been selected as All-Stars!
The All-Star Game is a lot to watch.

In his previous life, Lin Fei could only watch it on TV, but now, as the general manager of the Lakers, Lin Fei can of course go to the sidelines to watch the All-Star Game up close!
Lin Fei was excited just thinking about such treatment!
Time unknowingly came to the time of the All-Star game.

The NBA All-Star Game, also known as the "NBA All-Star Weekend", consists of the Rookie Challenge, the Slam Dunk Contest, the Three-Point Contest, the Skills Challenge and the All-Star Game.

All-star weekend, celebrities from all walks of life will come to the scene, it can be regarded as a grand event!

Lin Fei, the general manager of the Lakers, also came to the scene and participated in it personally.

This All-Star Game was held in Cleveland, and the local fans also showed strong enthusiasm. The seats in the stadium were also sold at high prices. Many fans were willing to spend a lot of money to grab tickets with better seats.

Fans who did not get tickets will also gather outside the arena. There is also a big screen outside Cleveland's home court broadcasting the grand occasion of the All-Star Game in real time, and the atmosphere among the fans gathered outside the arena is also better. Many fans are willing to Watching the ball together on the sidelines.

Of course, the trouble of not being able to get a ticket will not appear in Lin Fei's mind. As the general manager of the Lakers, Lin Fei naturally has the right to watch the game from the sidelines.

Entering the arena, Lin Fei came to his seat. Today is the All-Star rookie game. Many NBA stars also came to the scene to cheer for his younger brothers.
