NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

Lin Fei hadn't slept for a while when he was woken up by Vogel's phone call. He answered the phone in a daze, and Vogel's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Lin, it's me, I'm Vogel!"

"Mr. Vogel? What's the matter?"

Vogel said with a little embarrassment: "Lin, to be honest, I don't know how to let Westbrook and other players get the data and win the game at the same time."

"Lin, I know you are not a professional coach, but I want to hear your opinion, maybe you can give me some inspiration!"

This problem is really difficult to solve. Vogel in his previous life never fully integrated Westbrook and the Lakers.

It's not Vogel's fault, it's because the other players on the team are too incompatible with Westbrook!

It is difficult for other players of the Lakers to bring up the speed. Most of the offenses are positional battles, and when they fall into positional battles, Westbrook's shooting problems will be completely exposed!

If Westbrook wants to play well in the positional battle, Howard's squatting inside line cannot play because he can't open up space. If he doesn't play the squatting inside line, there is really no one on the Lakers who can protect the frame. There will be another big drop!
Lin Fei frowned, thinking hard about the countermeasures.

After a while, Lin Fei finally thought of a countermeasure, which might be able to solve Westbrook's problem.

That is to reduce the time that Westbrook and James are on the court at the same time. When Westbrook is on the court, you can match some sizeable strikers with three-point threats, similar to Horton Tucker, Bazemore and others. Let Westbrook hit a sudden point, the outside lineman waits for the shooting opportunity, and you can also check the scoring data by the way!
Just do it!

Lin Fei quickly expressed his thoughts to Vogel.

Vogel hesitated: "Lin, if you follow your method, our interior defense will still be relatively weak, and the rebounds may also be blown."

Lin Fei nodded approvingly: "You are right, but this may be the only way, isn't it, Mr. Vogel, this is just my idea, you are a professional coach, I believe in you!"

"Lin, you are right, I have a little inspiration!"

Vogel nodded in agreement with Lin Fei's idea, thanked him twice and hung up the phone.

Phew~ I can finally sleep!
Lin Fei took a deep breath, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Lin Fei got up early, ran downstairs to the Huaxia Cuisine Restaurant and had breakfast, then took Jessica's car and rushed to the Staples Center.

Walking into the Staples Center, many staff took the initiative to say hello to Lin Fei along the way, and the voice of the general manager made Lin Fei feel very good.

Walking to the special office of the general manager of the Lakers, Lin Fei sat comfortably on a chair and listened to his assistant Jessica report the situation.

As the general manager's assistant, Lin Fei specially asked Jessica to pay attention to the situation of each team's ten-day contract. According to Lin Fei's knowledge, there are still some relatively small contracts in the market.

Although it is a minor fix, it will at least make the Lakers a little better.

"The Pelicans revealed that they are expected to waive forward Gary Clark!"

"The Thunder expect to waive forward Gabriel Deck!"

"Warriors waive Jeff Dowding!"

Hearing these names, Lin Fei nodded. Lin Fei had an impression of Gary Clark and Gabriel Deckard. They were young strikers of good size, especially Gary Clark. Lin Fei remembered him. There is still a three-pointer!
But Jeff Dowding is rather trashy, he seems to have left without playing much in the Warriors, and Lin Fei naturally has no interest in him.

Quickly asked Jessica to contact Gary Clark and Gabriel Deck, expressing his willingness to offer them a ten-day contract.

Although the current Lakers have suffered a losing streak, the Lakers have a huge market and more exposure opportunities. The influence on this kind of newcomers who need to prove themselves is still huge!

After successfully signing the two, Lin Fei heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, there are a few strikers who can use it!

Just relying on the Lakers guards, they can't win the game at all!
Looking at Gabriel Deck's name, Lin Fei suddenly remembered another player signed by the Lakers in his previous life: Wenyen Gabriel!
This player Lin Fei has some impressions, his size is good, and the Lakers in his previous life gave him a two-year contract.

Lin Fei quickly asked Jessica about Wenyen Gabriel.

"Oh, I think he just lost his job!"

Jessica has done a good job, and she can understand such an unknown player very clearly.

Lin Fei couldn't help being a little impressed, and quickly asked Jessica to give Wayne Gary Buell a two-way contract to sign him.

After being busy for a long time, the transaction was finally settled. Lin Fei heaved a sigh of relief and added some fresh and dynamic forward resources to the Lakers. This was part of Lin Fei's plan.

Gary Clark, Gabriel Deck, and Wenyen Gabriel, although these three players are not well-known, but Lin Fei, who has traveled through his previous life, knows that these three are one of the few valuable players in the market. Cheap up front.

Of course, this kind of minor repairs and minor repairs will not change the current situation of the Lakers. Only the transactions of Westbrook, Horton Tucker and others can completely change the Lakers!

For Westbrook's trade, Lin Fei has already targeted the Pacers, but for Horton Tucker, Lin Fei really wants to break his head and doesn't know which team will want Horton Tucker.

Lin Fei sighed helplessly, the current Lakers lineup is really bad, it is difficult for Lin Fei to make effective adjustments.

"Mr. Lin, the game is about to begin!"

At this time, Jessica reminded from the side.

Lin Fei nodded, walked to the game site, and followed the staff to the box to watch the game.

At this time, the players were warming up on the field, and the fans also took their seats one after another.

The live DJ quickly released dynamic music to warm up the venue.

At the same time, the live commentator sent by ESPN Sports is already in front of the commentary stand.

These two commentators are the famous Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal.

As soon as he sat in front of the commentary stand, Barkley's big mouth couldn't stay idle, and he began to chat with his partner about the Lakers.

"Hey, Shaquille O'Neal, to be honest, we really don't want to comment on this game. The Lakers' recent performance sucks!"

O'Neal laughed and echoed Barkley.

"Yes, yes, they even changed the general manager for this reason, haha, this game is our Chinese boy Lin Fei's first game after becoming the general manager!"

"Okay, O'Neal, the Lakers still made a good decision, look at Pelinka made some stupid decisions before, signed a bunch of guards, no ass on the front line, let James play center oh, is he crazy?"

"Honestly, his deal sucks!"

O'Neill nodded again and again in agreement: "Obviously our Chinese kid Lin Fei is also aware of this, according to the latest news, he just sent two [-]-day contracts to sign Gary Clark and Gabriel Deck who have just been laid off! "

"Oh, and gave Wenyon Gabriel a two-way contract!"

Barkley nodded and smiled: "Haha, the funny Chinese boy signed so many strikers in a hurry, but to be honest, these little guys signed can't help the Lakers turn things around!"

"What they need now is to completely adjust the Big Three!"

Hearing Barkley's words, O'Neill rolled his eyes.

"Hey, even a three-year-old kid in Los Angeles knows this truth! The Chinese boy has just taken office, and he has done a good job. At least he has injected a lot of fresh blood into the team by using difficult exceptions!"

Barkley nodded: "Okay, O'Neill, I admit that you are right!"

When the two live treasures on the commentary stand were still chatting and farting, the game officially kicked off!

The Lakers' starters are Westbrook, James, Big Eyebrow, Monk and Stanley Johnson who just signed a two-year contract.

The Pelicans put out a lineup consisting of Josh Hart, Ingram, Trey Murphy, Varan and Alvarado.

From the perspective of book strength, the Lakers can be said to be far superior to the Pelicans, but basketball is not only based on the strength of stars. Basketball is a 5-person sport after all, and the chemical reaction between players is also very important!
The chemical reaction between the Lakers' starters is obviously not as good as that of the Pelicans.

Of course Vogel also knows that Westbrook, James and Big Eyebrow cannot be on the court at the same time for a long time, and doing so is just to give the three a starting position in name.

At least maintain the stability of the locker room atmosphere!

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially begins!
Barkley, who was sitting in front of the commentary stand, quickly brought his words to the arena and began to explain the game.

"Okay, now let's turn our attention to the field! Brother Nongmei and Walan execute the jump ball!"

"Walan is better and wins the jump ball, so the Pelicans will execute the first offense!"

Abvarado took the ball and slowly advanced to the frontcourt. After making a gesture, the Pelicans began to implement the first tactic.

Lin Fei, who was in the box, looked at this Abu Varado and wanted to laugh a little. In his previous life, this Abu Varado was very popular with Douyin, and he was nicknamed "Old Six" by countless fans!
It is really that this player's style is too chicken thief, often lurking when the enemy team serves the bottom line, and then steals from behind the player.

The highlights of many successful steals were exposed on the Internet, which can be described as a lot of fire. In the end, this trick suddenly failed, and every player was defensive when he played against the Pelicans.

Therefore, Abvarado is also dubbed "the man ruined by social media"!
While Lin Fei was staring at Abouvarado, the Pelicans began their first tactical execution. Walan stepped up to cover, and Abuvarado bypassed the pick-and-roll to attack the basket to attract double-teams and then passed back to the third. Wa Lan waiting for the branch line.

Varan made a gesture to aim at the basket. Monk, who was defending Ingram at 45 degrees, rushed over to interfere. Seeing this, Varan passed it directly to Ingram.

The ball bounced high, and the Lakers quickly got stuck inside and took the rebound steadily.

"Okay, the Pelicans' tactics are executed well, and the opportunity has already been given, but it's a pity that Ingram's touch hasn't started yet!"

Barkley quickly explained the game to the audience.

O'Neal took over the conversation: "Well, this defense has exposed the Lakers' defensive problems. The thick eyebrows and Westbrook did not communicate in time, which led to a gap in the outside line for Varan!"

Barkley nodded again and again, expressing his agreement with O'Neill.

"Yes, O'Neal is right, but the rebound is good, Johnson is very dynamic!"

"Now Westbrook holds the ball and the Lakers fall into a positional battle. Let's see how the Lakers will play in the first offensive round!"
