Chapter 50 Rebuild directly?brand new lakers
Huguan's big move was faster than Zheng Long expected.

On the third day after returning to Los Angeles, when Zheng Long was training with Ingram in the arena as usual, waiting for other teammates.

Only little Nance was left alone.

Later, the chief assistant coach Brian Shaw appeared in the arena, leading the three of them to a conference room with complicated expressions.

To Zheng Long's surprise, Nick Yang was sitting in a corner of the conference room with a depressed expression.

Brian Xiao didn't explain anything, just let everyone wait, and then walked out of the conference room.

Nick Young spoke first: "The team is crazy."

Little Nance also seemed to understand the situation, and remained silent, only Ingram was at a loss.

"Brother Yang, what do you mean? Why aren't Russell and the others here?"

"They're gone."

"What, are they dead?"

"You are stupid!"

Nick Young, who was already in a bad mood because he lost the company of his good brother Russell, couldn't help cursing.

Zheng Long frowned, defending his little brother, "I'm surprised that the team didn't send you away."

Hearing this, Nick Yang became angry and stood up with angry eyes. Zheng Long looked calm and just looked at him.

In an instant, Nick Yang's aura dissipated, and he returned to a slumped appearance.

Now Zheng Long is the big brother of the team, the darling of the management, and even Wharton is almost obeying Zheng Long's words now.

If Zheng Long is offended, I'm afraid I won't be able to hit the ball, and I can only watch the water dispenser in the future.

However, Ingram managed to grasp the key points in Zheng Long's words, no matter how stupid he was, he understood.

transaction.

Those who didn't come today were all traded!
For a while, Ingram was shocked and speechless, full of calculations, he had only played 6 official games in the NBA, and his thinking was still stuck on the college team.

Although before entering the NBA, Ingram had listened to some seniors at Duke talking about the cruelty of the NBA.

"Why, we won together. Six consecutive victories!"

Ingram's voice began to stutter, but no one answered him, and several people had their own ideas.

He was also silent, recalling the picture of getting along with Russell and others in his mind.

It was short, but impressive, especially those moments celebrating victory together in the locker room.

He took out his mobile phone and clicked on the address book of Russell and others. When he came to the chat window, he didn't know what to say.

I don't even know where they were traded to.

Obviously, they didn't take themselves too seriously, they were traded, and they didn't even tell themselves?
But Ingram thought about it again, maybe they were also sad, so he forgot to send himself a message.

Thinking of this, Ingram felt much better.

If Zheng Long knew what Ingram was thinking at this time, he would definitely not be able to resist scolding.

What kind of self-cultivation for licking a dog?
When Walton pushed the door and entered the conference room, Ingram and others looked up at the head coach.

At this moment, they even felt that Wharton had become a stranger.

Wharton let out a long sigh of relief, showing a gentle smile.

"Sit over here, am I so scary?"

Zheng Long was the first to get up and sit beside Wharton, and the other three sat down one after another.

This conference room is very large, and it is the place where the Lakers players hold regular meetings, but now, there are only three players and Walton left.

It looked empty.

Wharton's mood was equally complicated. He had actually been here for a while, but he spent a long time adjusting his state at the door of the meeting room.

"I don't know how much news you have received. The situation is that, except for the four of you, the rest of the players have been traded, bought out or waived."

"In the next few days, new teammates will come to the team one after another. This is a very difficult process of adaptation."

"But all of this has already happened. Being able to stay with the Lakers is the team's recognition of your personal abilities."

"Next, it's time for you to ask questions."

There was a long silence in the meeting room.

Wharton smiled helplessly, and said: "I didn't ask any questions, or I have some questions that I want to chat with me privately. You are always welcome in my office."

"You can go to training, and if you feel that you are not in good shape today, you can also rest."

"I will be very busy these days. Brian Xiao will take you to train. If you have any questions, don't ask him, just ask me."

Brief notice that the meeting is over.

Zheng Long took Ingram and Nance Jr. to the arena, and Nick Young left because he was not feeling well.

Little Nance was no longer as lively as before, and Ingram was full of question marks. Zheng Long couldn't bear Ingram's preoccupied look, so he drove him directly to Wharton's office.

"Go and ask clearly, problem baby!"

As for Nance Jr., after all, his father was a second-generation star who had been in the NBA, so he quickly accepted the current reality.

Even Nance Jr. was a little excited.

"Long, we will be the veterans of the team in the future! Do you think I can still have the opportunity to serve as the starter?"

Zheng Long patted Nance Jr. on the shoulder with some relief. After these few games, Nance Jr. has been very active in fighting and defending.

"Just work hard, just like Wharton said, the team's recognition of you by keeping you!"

Nance Jr. teased himself, "I didn't think staying meant that I was better than Russell and the others, maybe it was because of my father's face."

Zheng Long smiled lightly and shook his head.

Steadily sent the basketball in his hand into the basket.

New teammates?

Still looking forward to it.

That night.

Four Seasons Hotel.

in a room.

Zheng Long put his arms around Jenna lightly, smoking a cigar, and emptying his mind during the sage time.

The two had just experienced a big battle, and now Zheng Long's legs were a little weak.

Jenna is simply a succubus, with a variety of tricks, but she is not idle.

Jenna looked satisfied at this time, and said in a charming voice, "There are some news on the Internet that your team has traded away several players. Is this true?"

"Oh? You still pay attention to this."

"It's okay if you don't pay attention. The news is all on the hot search, but there is no official confirmation yet. People are curious, so I want to ask you."

Zheng Long exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "There's nothing to hide from you, it will probably be announced in the next two days."

"But I have something more important to talk to you about."

Seeing Zheng Long's serious face, Jenna was a little uneasy.

Zheng Long, "I feel like I can do it again, come on, let's talk about a few hundred million dollars again."

The sound of the pile driver and what Oumaika, Ouyes soon sounded in the room.

#lakepipe crazy?Lakers send Russell, get Oladipo from Thunder
#Heavyweight!Lakers get Jimmy Butler from Bulls in one-plus trade
#Nuggets not for sale Jokic?But the lake management gave too much in this wave.

# Stud reconstruction after six consecutive victories?Lake tube, what can I do to save you!

On November 11, news related to the Lakers dominated the hot headlines of the sports column.

The entire NBA fan circle was shocked, especially the Lakers fans. After the 6-game winning streak, the Lakers fans have begun to imagine the new season.

As a result, before the seventh game, the Lakers traded away three of the five starting teams, and only Ingram and Nick Young were left on the bench.

In the history of the NBA, it is extremely rare to make a transaction after the start of the game.

What's even more outrageous is that the Lakers not only completed a deal, but it can be said that they have completed a major cleanup.

But fans don't have to wonder why the Lakers can persuade other teams to complete deals with them, because almost every deal they make offers bargaining chips that the other party can't refuse.

After the fans summed up all the transactions completed by the Lakers this time, they came to a conclusion.

The Lakers directly stud, and in order to facilitate these transactions, they overdrawn their draft picks for the next few years.

In addition to being shocked, some people certainly guessed the answer.

There is only one reason why the Lakers can win six consecutive victories now, and that is Zheng Long.

Lake Management is building a brand new team around Zheng Long.

The voices of online discussions are very polarized. Conservatives think that the Lake Management is simply a show of their heads. The team has achieved six consecutive victories. Zheng Long is still young, so he can take his time.

The radicals believe that the traded players can obviously have a better chemical reaction with Zheng Long.

However, the arrival of an All-Star like Jimmy Butler still aroused the welcome of Lakers fans.

Especially in the last game, Jimmy Butler played a tough performance against the Lakers.

Zheng Long's helper is finally here!
11 month 19 day.

New members from various teams gathered on the court, and Butler and others have already put on the Lakers jerseys.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. A few days ago, the people here were still rivals, but now, they have become teammates of a team.

in other words.

Nobody came to the Lakers of their own accord.

Zheng Long greeted Butler friendly, and Butler already understood the meaning of Zheng Long's original words.

A chance to play ball together.

The day after the game against the Lakers, Butler received a notification from the team.

He was traded to the Lakers.

At first, Butler couldn't accept it at all.

I was selected by the Bulls and worked hard all the time, even being selected as an All-Star, but was "abandoned" by the team.

This reminded Butler of a bad childhood memory - being kicked out of the house by his mother.

If it weren't for the help from his brothers and his basketball talent, he would be living on the streets now.

For Butler's angry questioning, the Bulls' management was also very helpless, because the Lakers really gave too much.

The answer silenced Butler.

How could he not know that this is a business alliance.

When Rose was traded, Butler had already recognized this fact, but when everything happened to him, it was difficult to accept.

Also unacceptable is Nikola Jokic.

The European chubby guy who was only selected 14st in the second round of 41 years, after continuing to play in Europe for a year, just spent his rookie season with the Nuggets last season.

在重建的掘金，约基奇很快获得了首发的位置，并且场均能够拿下10分7篮板2.4助攻1抢断0.6盖帽。

Such data is good enough for a rookie.

Moreover, the team's internal management has found themselves many times and expressed their recognition of their performance.

As a result, he was traded.

Jokic felt cheated.

Among the starters, the only one who may feel better is Oladipo.

As the No. 2013 pick in the most watery draft in [-], Bennett, the current No. [-] pick, was waived by the Raptors after the end of last season.

That's right, after only two years of playing, the No. [-] pick was cut and abandoned.

And Oladipo's own situation is also full of twists and turns.

After being selected by the Magic, Oladipo worked hard to show his talent, but was still given up by the Magic due to injuries and various factors.

The trade was given to the Thunder who left Durant and fell into rebuilding.

As for the Thunder and the Lakers, for Oladipo, there is no difference.

Zheng Long looked at his new teammates and marveled at the strong operational ability of the Lake Management Team.

Of course, in fact, most of these transactions were recommended by Zheng Long.

In almost every player transaction, Walton asked Zheng Long for his opinions and ideas on behalf of the Lake Management.

Zheng Long spent a lot of talking during this period. Butler can say that he is already an All-Star and has a top-notch defensive performance, which is what the Lakers lack in the lineup.

But Jokic and Oladipo encountered opposition at the first time.

The two did show a certain amount of talent, but the Lake Management does not think that the two can perform better.

But Zheng Long from the future knows.

The future information in the head is worth a thousand gold.

If he didn't want to be a player, Zheng Long even wanted to be the general manager of a certain team.

Fortunately.

Zheng Long's performance gave himself a considerable right to speak, coupled with Wharton's spare no effort to support.

These seemingly impossible deals were struck.

Of course, the premise is based on the "generosity" of the lake management.

Zheng Long really gave the lake management hope.

The Lakers have been losing for too long. Although there are only a few seasons, it is already intolerable for the Lakers.

They desperately want change.

And so this desperate "rebuild" was completed.

In addition to Zheng Long looking at the new teammates, the players are also paying special attention to Zheng Long, full of curiosity.

Is this bald man wearing the No. 23 jersey really so amazing?

The name of Zheng Crazy has already spread throughout the league.

Among the new players, only Jimmy Butler and Zheng Long have played against each other, and the others have not.

Their understanding of Zheng Long is currently limited to some game highlights on the Internet.

And that exaggerated data bar.

The players knew very well that the Lakers traded them here to assist Zheng Long.

But in the NBA, no one is born willing to be a green leaf.

The premise is that you can lead the team to win!
In order to promote the integration among players more quickly, the Lakers specially organized team building activities.

Due to the tight schedule, it was just a small party.

At the party, the players played some simple games to get to know each other better, and everyone behaved slowly and absent-mindedly.

The performance of the players made Wharton feel a little guilty.

I even regretted it a little.

Falk, impulsive.

He even if the new Lakers fail to perform as expected, what kind of pressure and abuse the team will suffer.

Wharton was under a lot of pressure.

Zheng Long doesn't have these extra thoughts, no matter who the teammates around him are, when the game starts.

There is only one thing I have to do, and that is to throw the ball into the basket.

Although, there is not much time for the new Lakers to prepare.

In two days, they will usher in a game against the "underdog" Minnesota Timberwolves
All the eyes of the outside world are also on the Lakers.

Many people are already ready for verbal criticism.

Most people don't like them.
