lakers championship

Chapter 190 Cousins ​​is in a hurry
Los Angeles, California, Lakers training base, inside the president's office.

Jim Bass took the report from Kupchak, flipped through two pages at random, and frowned. .

"The Pelicans' bid is too harsh. A potential rookie, an expiring contract plus two first-round picks? Are they asking for a Stud deal, betting all their luck in the next few years?"

Kupchak sighed, "Cousins ​​averaged 27 plus 11 per game, the number one center in the league. If it weren't for conflicts with the management, the Pelicans' bid would not be enough, but we are currently at a disadvantage. The Kings hung up the phone when they heard the offer. "

Jim pondered for a long time after hearing the words, then clicked on the tablet computer and found the Twitter account, "Cousins ​​paid attention to Tianyang yesterday, maybe it can help us get more bargaining chips."

Kupchak's eyes lit up, "What do you mean? Let Cousins ​​help lower the price?"

"Yes!" Jim snapped his fingers, "It's a pity that Cousins ​​​​can't be contacted at present, and can only be hinted through the media."

Kupchak shook his head, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. It violates the rules of the league. If you are caught, you may be severely fined!"

"What are you afraid of?" Jim looked quite decisive, "It's just a hint, what can the alliance do?"

When Kupchak heard the words, he knew that he couldn't persuade him, "Take it easy beforehand, otherwise it will be too obvious. In addition, the team has just suffered a three-game losing streak. It is best not to disturb the morale of the army. I suggest waiting until February."

"Don't worry, it happened once before, Wharton will handle it properly!"

……

As Jim thought, Wharton did prepare.

The Lakers returned from a big defeat in Houston, not only did not fall into a downturn, but turned into a super power.

So much so that in the game against the Suns, 7 members of the team scored in double figures, the overall shooting rate was as high as 53.4%, and they scored 122 points to win. Tianyang also broke through the trough, scoring 30 points and 12 assists.

Subsequently, the Lakers sat in Staples against the New York Knicks.

The severely degraded Anthony did not trouble the Lakers' striker.

Anthony is also unwilling to put down his face and defend Tianyang like the Grizzlies, Jazz, and Rockets.

In addition, Porgijins was injured and failed to play, and the Lakers were also at ease inside.

'Emperor James' Jennings and 'Rose' Ross both fought hard in the arena, but they couldn't beat ten punches with four hands.

Before the end of the three quarters, the Knicks trailed by a full 20 points, and Tianyang simply left the game early to rest.

In the end, the Lakers easily won the game 104 to 88 and won two consecutive victories.

After winning the Knicks, the Lakers embarked on a terrifying 7-game trip.

The first opponent is the king where Cousins, the biggest player in the exchange message, is.

He followed Tianyang's Twitter before, which attracted the attention of the media and fans.

Many fans speculated whether he would first get a voting certificate and make 10 turnovers to show his loyalty.

But he didn't, and he single-handedly broke the combination of Randall Garnans.

狂砍31分16个篮板，另外还送出5次盖帽和5次助攻，失误却只有3次。

However, he still failed to lead the Kings to win the game.

Because Tianyang also played bravely, although he encountered Darren Collison, Rudy Gay, and Ben McLemore in turn, he still sent 15 assists to revitalize the team to win the game.

After the game, Cousins ​​took the initiative to shake hands with Tianyang.

The two hugged and whispered, talking closely.

Such a scene was taken as a photo and went viral on social networks.

ESPN expert Mark asserted that Randall will have a sluggish performance in the next game.

I once thought that in the Lakers' subsequent away game against the Nets, Walton seemed to design tactics for Tianyang and Randall. The two scored 52 points with one hand and easily took away the victory.

Mark was slapped in the face, forced to explain that the Nets were too weak, and even Jeremy Lin didn't play.

Mark's clumsy defense was taken as a joke by fans, after all, he is notorious for talking nonsense.

Moreover, the fans have been looking forward to the Lakers' next game for a long time, and they have no time to pay attention to him.

why?Because the Lakers are going to beat the 76ers.

The 76ers originally selected Tianyang to rob the Lakers of a first-round pick.

As a result, Simmons was reimbursed for the season, and Tianyang played a historic performance.

The 76ers fans are very sad, and the 76ers owner Joshua is very upset.

……

12月17日下午6点，费城76人队主场，164号VIP包间内。

Joshua lit a cigar with a gloomy face, turned his head and said coldly: "I don't accept interviews, drive away all those reporters, and give you 3 minutes, if you can't do it, you can resign tomorrow."

The assistant bowed and nodded, and carefully exited the private room.

After the door was closed and the noise of the reporters gradually subsided, Joshua took a deep puff of his cigar.

He closed his eyes, leaned his head back on the chair, and tried to drive away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

one second,
two seconds,

three seconds,

Can't be dispelled.

He kicked the table in front of him, but it didn't seem to be enough to relieve his anger, and he punched the red wine beside him.

The entire VIP room was in a mess, as if it had been robbed by robbers.

Originally, the major media have been mocking him for exchanging Michael Jordan for Bob Savey.

He got it wrong, lost the bet, and he admitted it.

But this morning Embiid's agent called and told him: Embiid will not accept early contract renewal, and will test the free market after the rookie contract ends, unless the 76ers executives can return to Tianyang.

Sounds okay, after all, most superstars want to team up with another superstar.

Besides, after Embiid came back from the NCAA game, he kept talking to him about choosing Tianyang, and he had long wanted to team up with Tianyang.Later, he chose Tianyang, and Embiid called him immediately, saying that he could cut his salary in the future to facilitate the team to form a championship lineup.

Unfortunately, he changed hands and traded Tianyang to the Lakers.

So in his view, Embiid's request is completely making trouble.

What to exchange?Packing Simmons plus the first round of the next five years, the Lakers will not change.

Embiid is leaving without a better excuse.

Ten minutes ago, after he entered the VIP room, he saw Embiid and Tianyang warming up on the court.

The two sat together talking and laughing, so close.

Such a picture, after the assistant left, made him have many thoughts in an instant.

"Tianyang should have been wearing a 76ers jersey."

"How the hell did I send Tianyang away!"

"I gave the next Jordan to the Lakers with my own hands..."

"Embiid actually wants to leave! It looks like he's going to team up with Tianyang."

"What should I do? What should I do?"

In three seconds, his mind wanted to explode, so he could only smash things to vent.

……

At the 76ers' home court, Embiid sat on a chair with Tianyang, chatting non-stop.

"Tianyang, I killed a lion when I was 6 years old, do you think I can hang it?"

Tianyang curled his lips, "So-so, I know there are people who are more obsessed than you."

"Oh?" Embiid tilted his head, "Who is it?"

"He also has an 'en' in his name, he became a sharpshooter at the age of 3, are you afraid?"

"That's really hanging, but why haven't I heard of this guy?" Embiid scratched his head.

"Ask 'Bug' Rodman, he knows."

……

The picture of the two laughing was captured by the reporter and posted on the social network.

Immediately, a 76ers fan commented: "Tianyang should be ours."

This comment was liked by many people and forwarded by many people at the same time.

Among them is ESPN expert Mark, who forwarded and wrote: "76ers fans don't worry, according to my source, Embiid will fight side by side with Tianyang one day in the future, but at that time he will wear a Lakers jersey."

Mark's statement quickly aroused a lot of discussion, but due to his blind writing style, the discussion quickly declined.

Unexpectedly, WOJ retweeted Mark, saying that it was indeed the case!
Now the Lakers fans were happy, and the 76ers fans almost took a quick-acting heart-saving pill.

The ones that should have been in my hands are lost, and the ones in my hands are still flying away. How many times can I play?

But this is not over yet, 30 minutes before the start of the match between the two teams, WOJ broke the news again:
"The Cousins ​​team revealed that it will only renew the contract with the Lakers after the contract expires, please other teams trade carefully!"

The Lakers fans are crazy about it. Embiid has a rookie contract, and he will have to wait at least a year to join.

But Cousins ​​is a player who can join the team tomorrow if he trades now.

He said so, wouldn't the Lakers management just send two first rounds and get it?

Lakers fans began to PS photos of Cousins ​​wearing Lakers fans, and the entire social network was in a state of excitement.

In less than 2 hours, it emerged that Embiid and Cousins ​​intend to join the Lakers.

It may be a coincidence that Embiid's news broke out, but there is only one possibility for Cousins' news to break out: Cousins ​​is in a hurry.

At the same time, the Lakers VS 76ers game was broadcast live across the United States by TNT.

Now that two such breaking news broke out, the TNT quartet would definitely blow the audience away.

Regardless of whether the game is good or not, the topic will definitely be full.
