New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 206

The Los Angeles Lakers are definitely the biggest winners of the new season. Not only did they get three talented rookies through the draft, but more importantly, they built a strong team around the No. [-] pick!
In addition, the Washington Wizards who selected Varanda and the Orleans Hornets who got Sean also began to rebuild the team around these two newcomers.It's not so much that the future of the basketball world is theirs, but these people have begun to control the present.

Before the preseason, Zhang Yi officially joined the team and began to get used to the new lineup. Apart from the familiar Robert and Wally, how can he produce a good chemical reaction with other people.

Another important thing is that the Lakers fired coach Rembrandt last season, and since then assistant coach Downey has been in charge, but it is obvious that he does not have the strength to lead the team to the finals.

If it is said that the only one who can immediately replace the coach of the Lakers is the head coach of the Bruins, Wacker. There is no longer a problem of incompatibility.

And Zhang Yi also raised this issue with Jaina. Besides, there is actually another candidate.It's just that he didn't open his mouth. After all, the person he was thinking of had just set off a bloodbath in the power world of the NBA.

In fact, even if he doesn't mention it, someone as experienced as Jaina can guess it.And since Wang Long can bring out such a strong disciple as Zhang Yi, it proves that he has super coaching ability.

In addition, he and Wacker were also one of the members of the Big Three of the Lakers back then. If they can form uniforms at the same time to become complementary Lakers coaches, it should be a good choice.

Since Wacker already had NBA coaching experience, it was much easier to hire him.Although he had the slightest idea to continue coaching the UCLA Bruins.

But after winning the championship, he also felt that this stage had become meaningless.Zhang Yi, Robert and even his son Wally tried their best to lobby, but in the end he could only accept it.

As for Wang Long, in order to repay James' help, he has now become the honorary vice president of KING, responsible for managing the company's endorsement players and publicity affairs.

Of course, the first customer for him is Zhang Yi, the spokesperson of KING's new sneakers.Wang Long, who has regained his freedom, also appeared in the Lakers Staples Arena.

Because he is only the honorary vice president and doesn't have much actual work, so now Wang Long likes to come over to supervise Zhang Yi's training in normal times.

Coupled with the relationship with Wacker, the two of them like to fight if they disagree.Zhang Yi noticed that Uncle Long's left knee no longer made mechanical friction sounds, and it was obvious that he had finally taken a step forward and replaced it with a new type of titanium bone.

Because his legs regained strength and speed, Wacker even teased whether he should come back again. After all, the current league does not explicitly prohibit players using artificial bones from playing.

The answer he got was naturally that Wang Long silently beat him up on the court.After all, Wacker and him are old, and after experiencing this revenge, Wang Long's hair is all white, although there is more smile on his face, it also makes Zhang Yi feel that he is obviously getting older...

The most complicated thing in the world is hatred, and the most torturous thing is revenge.The pain that Wang Lung has been carrying for so many years is actually hanging on his chest in one breath.Now that he swallowed his breath, the physical problems he had accumulated over the years exploded.

The Lakers' preseason game is just around the corner, and they have undergone major changes from the coach uniforms to the team's starters and substitutes. In addition, Jaina proposed to change the jersey back to the classic style. Like a new life.

In the new semester, Ye Qing continued to participate in dance competitions across the United States, and her reputation in this circle was no less than Zhang Yi's status in the basketball circle.

Coupled with the fact that she is in the entertainment city of Los Angeles, she also took some commercials in her spare time while studying.And has become the new darling of many luxury goods.

It didn't take long for Ye Qing to appear in the minds of Americans when the Eastern Fairy was mentioned.

Lucy, on the other hand, has completely separated from Tang's organization, and usually helps Zhang Yi deal with endorsements and other work outside of basketball.

Most people also regard her as the official girlfriend of NBA rising star Zhang Yi. The two of them show up in various activities without any scruples, and Ye Qing doesn't care. Anyway, in her opinion, Zhang Yi's future belongs to her after all.

With the running-in of the team, the NBA's much-anticipated preseason finally began.Different from the main game, the preseason game is originally a stage for training recruits.Nowadays, in order to allow newcomers to get more training opportunities, many teams do not play veteran stars or team bosses.

Of course, the Lakers don't have this problem, because although their team also has old people, they are all newcomers here.

The match schedule has long been sent to Wacker, and their opponent in the first game is the Washington Wizards who selected Varanda.Unlike the Lakers who have adjusted their entire lineup, the Wizards are not a weak team.The reason why they were able to get the second pick was entirely in exchange for the team's core point guard trade.

Now the Wizards, in addition to Varanda and the second-year show Dum forming a double gun, plus the tall and strong black center Harrell and several strikers with balanced offensive and defensive strength.The current strength has immediately risen from the middle reaches of the East to the top team.

Their game was scheduled for Sunday night. Originally, the preseason game would not be broadcast live across the United States, but because of the NCAA rivals Zhang Yi and Varanda, the topic was full of interest.

This game is also set at Staples, and the team is still relatively relaxed, so the Washington Wizards came to Los Angeles three days in advance.

Los Angeles was definitely not a lucky city for Varanda, as he lost both times during his time with the Duke Blue Devils.

As the host, Zhang Yi not only brings the Wizards players to enjoy the entertainment in Los Angeles, but they also train together. Although they are opponents on the court, they are also men who love basketball off the court. .

Finally, the day of the game arrived. Since it was a live broadcast across the United States, the staff of the camera and camera set up the venue early. Zhang Yi had long been used to this tense and exciting atmosphere. The goal is also clearer, that is to launch an impact on real awards such as regular season MVP, All-Star MVP, finals FMVP, DPOY and so on.

This year's Lakers have one and only one goal, and that is the championship trophy, but for Zhang Yi, the personal battle has already begun since the preseason...
