The world of basketball

Chapter 9
James announced that he would join the Lakers, and one stone caused a lot of waves.

60e Black James, who has shown his feelings for Comey, didn’t know what to do. Originally, Lao Zhan’s performance in the playoffs this season was very popular, but this time he suddenly announced that he would join the Lakers. Comey was a little at a loss stand up.

Hupu's big JRs have left messages under the news posts. James has indeed chosen a relatively difficult path. At this time, the Lakers' lineup is full of first-year and second-year rookies, and the lineup is still somewhat incomplete.

Mu Xiaobei, who was selected by the Lakers, also entered everyone's field of vision. For domestic and local athletes, no matter whether it is encouragement or blackmail, everyone loves them in their hearts.

Jamie has the most fans in China, and Comey is against each other. Now with the growth of young players, there will be Kumi, Dengmi, Guimi and so on.

After Lao Zhan joined the Lakers, it seemed that James and Comey were integrated into a group-Hu Mi.

There were originally four domestic players representing the NBA team in the summer league—Zhou Qi, Ding Yanyuhang, Abdul Saramu and Mu Xiaobei.

But due to Xiaoding's knee injury, there are only three of them now.

When Mu Xiaobei knew that James would join the Lakers, he was a little dazed. Just now, he was still thinking about what he should do if he played next to James, and now James is here?
Is that why I should think about how to play with Paul George, Leonard, and Anthony next, so that I can directly form an All-Star.

But then the pressure came, because James is an athlete destined to live in the spotlight, and everything will be magnified when he plays next to him.

"Coach, I'm going to practice three-pointers first." Mu Xiaobei said.

Wharton also saw what the young man was thinking, and smiled: "Go."

Looking at Bosh and Love, you know that playing the five-point three-pointer in the James system is very important-if you want to make a name for yourself.

Unlike Bosh Love, the two of them have already made their names and have their own styles. They made sacrifices after being on the same team with James and changed in another direction.

And Mu Xiaobei was originally a nobody, not an all-star who had already made a name for himself.What was a sacrifice to Love Bosh is not a sacrifice to Mu Xiaobei, but an opportunity, because he is still very confident in his speed and shooting stability.

However, after practicing three-point shooting for a while, Mu Xiaobei felt that the most urgent task was to prepare for the summer league and play a good performance so that the coach could further affirm himself and not disappoint the domestic fans.

He thought of his mentor Yao Ming, he has never disappointed domestic fans, no matter in the Rockets game or the national team game.

Mu Xiaobei's current goal is not so ambitious. He can gain a firm foothold in the Lakers, get a rotation or even start, get a big contract, and then marry Carlin in a prosperous way.

Mu Xiaobei believes in his skills and talents, um, it will definitely be possible.

Mu Xiaobei puts more thoughts on Bagley, who he is going to face up against. This 4/5 swingman with top running and jumping ability and explosive power, his air cutting and athletic vitality are enough to give Mu Xiaobei a headache. up.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaobei walked towards the coach's office, ready to ask the coach for help.

***
Many signs have indicated that James will come to the Lakers, such as James looking for a high school for his eldest son James II in Los Angeles, such as James buying a luxury house in Los Angeles and so on.

This is the first time that Mu Xiaobei saw James in real life. James came here because he decided that his number would be 23. In addition, he also wanted to get acquainted with the young people who would lead in the future and the person who joined him in the same year. The NBA now coaches its own coaches.

In fact, the current lineup of the Lakers will have a lot of changes. For example, Lopez will sign with the Bucks, the Lakers are selling Luer Deng, and Randall is looking for a next home.

But the future core Ball, Ingram, Kuzma and the newly selected Mu Xiaobei will not be put on the shelves, at least not this summer.

James has already received the video of the rookie Mu Xiaobei's performance against Zubac in the team training, and now he saw Mu Xiaobei's shooting touch outside the three-point line in the training ground, and nodded in a subtle way.

In the evening, James invited Mu Xiaobei, Ball, Kuzma, Ingram and Walton to have dinner together. It was the first time they met. As the team boss, he would naturally bring gifts to his younger brothers, each with a watch.

Mu Xiaobei didn’t know the brand of the watch, but later Mu Xiaobei found out that the brand name of the watch was Burberry. The watch Mu Xiaobei received was worth [-] US dollars, a quarter of Mu Xiaobei’s car money. .

The purpose of getting together for dinner is naturally to discuss the future direction of the team. Unexpectedly, Americans also like to give gifts and talk about things at the dinner table.

The team's primary goal this summer is Paul George, and the other is to revolve around whether James will play as a point forward like in the Cavaliers in the new season or try a new positioning to play off the ball.

In addition, the team will release smoke bombs and pursue Cousins.

But Wharton doesn't like to use Cousins, because the first Cousins ​​ruptured his Achilles tendon, so how much annual salary should he be given?In addition, Cousins' temper is like a time bomb buried in the locker room.

The Paul George Lakers are more confident. First of all, the team now has enough salary space to give George a maximum salary. In addition, George also likes to play for the Lakers. Last summer, George publicly stated that he only wanted to play for the Lakers. The Thunder only have George. One-year license only.

With George, the Lakers can have a lineup of Ball, Ingram, James, Paul George, and Mu Xiaobei. Even if Mu Xiaobei can't start at the level, he can still get a blue-collar middle class who is suitable for starting. center.

This lineup can do a lot in the West, and no matter how bad it is, it is impossible not to make the playoffs.

After chatting for almost two hours, James said goodbye to everyone apologetically after receiving a call, and then went back to their respective homes.

When Mu Xiaobei came home, Karlin was clearing the table. Before that, Mu Xiaobei had already called Karlin to tell her that she would not go home for dinner tonight.

Seeing Mu Xiaobei coming in, Carlin wanted to hang her hands on Mu Xiaobei's neck, but found that Mu Xiaobei was too tall and she couldn't reach it. Mu Xiaobei smiled and squatted down. On Mu Xiaobei's neck.

"How does it feel to eat with an idol?" Carlin smiled.

Mu Xiaobei smacked his lips: "Actually, that's all. It's not as delicious as the nutritious meal you made."

"Poor." Carlin scolded with a smile.

"I wish I could have a meal with Kobe one day." Mu Xiaobei laughed.

"You will," Carlin said, stroking Mu Xiaobei's ears with her hand hanging behind Mu Xiaobei's head, "I have always believed in your talent and ability."

Mu Xiaobei was blushed by Karlin, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I didn't watch the video yesterday, and I didn't memorize the vocabulary, so I can't indulge anymore tonight."

Hearing Mu Xiaobei's words, Carlin's mouth unconsciously curled up into an appreciative smile.

The charm of a man who knows self-discipline is really great.
