I really just want to strike

Page 1497

How about this, first tell me what your salary needs are, and I will contact Mitch later to help you mediate.

After all, we are all brothers, and I can't watch you play without the ball, can I? "

only......

What Garnett never expected was that.

On the night when he chose to surrender to Fenghuang...

Ren Fenghuang not only expressed his "dislike" for himself in words, but also told himself bluntly...

The fact that the Lakers don't really need themselves.

but......

When he heard that Fenghuang was willing to mediate for him...

Tears still fell down from the corners of Garnett's eyes.

Look, what is a true brother!

"Okay. I just need a basic salary...

As long as you can join the Lakers, it's okay to play as a substitute! "On the phone, Garnett, who dared not raise any conditions, hastily replied to Su Feng.

In Los Angeles, after Su Feng hung up the phone, Kobe said to Su Feng in a daze: "Didn't you say before that if possible, we should try our best to recruit Kevin into the team this summer?

Why is it that now he took the initiative to come to work, but you are not happy? "

Hearing this, Su Feng smiled and said to Kobe: "Because after the Warriors signed Yi, Kevin has no team to go to now."

Kobe shook his head and said, "I don't understand the connection between this..."

Su Feng let out a long sigh and said, "No matter what percentage of Kevin's strength is left, he is also one of the most outstanding power forwards in the NBA.

So if we are too enthusiastic about him taking the initiative to come and play, then after he joins the team, he will inevitably put on airs in front of young players.

And for a team with championship aspirations...

If there are too many voices in the locker room...

That could easily go wrong. "

"I see!

No wonder......

Shaq would say before that you have your own principles for locker room management. Touching his chin, Kobe nodded after thinking clearly about the pros and cons.

"In short, it is a good thing that Kevin is willing to join us.

but......

He has to understand.

Right now, it's not that we need him.

Rather...

He needs us. "After patting Kobe on the shoulder, Su Feng continued to laugh.

portland.

After about three days.

Garnett, who had been waiting at home for a call from Kupchak, finally got the call from Los Angeles.

7 month 4 day.

Former NBA All-Star Game power forward Kevin Garnett officially joined the Los Angeles Lakers with a two-year minimum salary.

And so far...

The famous Portland f4...

Only Carter, the "widowed man", was left.

……

Chapter 843 The strongest singles team in history!Brackets: none of them!

Signing Garnett, for Su Feng, who is aiming to build the second dynasty of the Lakers before retiring, is undoubtedly another brick that can be thrown wherever it is needed.

Although this old wolf is a bit older, as a serious power forward, Garnett's arrival can greatly enrich the tactics of the Lakers' various lineups.

It's not even an exaggeration to say that even if you put Ah Lian and Garnett in front of Su Feng at the same time this summer, Su Feng would give priority to the latter instead of the former.

ha?

You want to ask why?

Is it because the UAE in this life is not as good as this 37-year-old wolf?

of course not.

Because judging from the average efficiency of the United Arab Emirates every 48 minutes last season, even if it is a hard-core wolf, it is impossible to say that the second child Harbin is more valuable than Yi Jianlian.

That......

On what basis did Su Feng think that Garnett's priority was higher than Yi Jianlian's?

The answer is actually quite simple.

Because of the start of the 14/15 season, the NBA's salary space will rise sharply. (Note ①)

This summer, the reason why Alian was willing to join the Warriors with a basic salary was precisely because before the salary cap soared, neither the economic team around Alian nor himself wanted to blindly sign long-term contracts with other teams.

After all, a capitalist can earn 2000 million a year...

Why do you only want to earn him 1000 million?

Therefore, under the premise that Ah Lian is destined to be a short-term tool... (Note ②)

For Su Feng, who is eager to play another dynasty before retiring, Garnett, who is also a tool man and is willing to continue to receive a basic salary even after the salary cap has risen, is more suitable for the current Lakers.

Moreover, even if the current second child has suffered a severe decline in athletic ability and other aspects, in the limited playing time, he can become an important member of the Lakers next season on both offense and defense based on experience alone.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the many basketball articles he had read, especially the coaching articles, he would often see the protagonist desperately putting together the best players.

But let alone whether these players with very different personalities, and all of them are naturally strong, will have conflicts when they are teamed together...

In Su Feng's view, this kind of signings that do not consider team suitability and compatibility can basically be attributed to hooligans and cloud fans.

In addition, after signing Garnett, except for Finsen who wants to leave the team, in terms of the Lakers' current lineup structure, is Yi Jianlian's vitality, youth, athletic talent and other advantages really what the Lakers need?

The answer is of course no.

First of all, in the interior, in addition to Xiaojia who was playing in his prime, after replacing Jordan with Adams, the Lakers even have a high-quality substitute like Whiteside.

Secondly, on the front line, the front line led by Su Feng, Middleton, Green, Bogdanovic, Garnett, and Thackeray is not only the best in the past and the present, but at least it is the number one in the world.

Finally, on the back line, after Billups retired, the Lakers still have Rondo who is trying to make a big difference, Livingston who is hardworking, and Curry and an unknown second master that you can always trust.

Therefore, although it seems that some of the main players in the Lakers team are too old, this Lakers team does not lack the so-called vitality and athleticism at all.

Take this year's Lake Yong battle as an example.

It is true that the Lakers could have the last laugh without the explosions of Su Feng and Kobe.

However, no matter how strong Su Feng and Kobe are, it's impossible for them to kill the audience with two people.

And in contrast...

The opposing Warriors can not only send a championship lineup every quarter.

Even, the strength of their lineup can guarantee to crush the Lakers.

But why did the Lakers have the last laugh?

The answer, of course, is because, in a basketball game, no matter how many stars you have in your team, there is only one person who can complete the offense on the court in the end.

And simply put...

In a 48-minute game, Livingston, Bogdanovic, Green and others are certainly not as good as Curry, Clay and Butler.

But do the Lakers need them to play superstar performances for 48 minutes?

In fact...

With the deepening of that round of Western Conference finals, compared with Su Ke, who never thought that the Warriors would be able to defend from the beginning, Van Gundy's real headache has always been the Lakers who have unique skills, and they can always be in the local time, local A role player who has a [-]-[-] battle with the Warriors luxury lineup.

From Philadelphia to Toronto.

Then from Toronto to the Heat.

And at the moment in Los Angeles.

The career of the past seventeen years has already been told to Su Feng.

Even if you put in front of him the lineup of Demon God Emperor Buddha Shark in his memory.

He also only needs to bring a group of role players with unique skills to break it.

Because basketball is always a five-person sport.

As far as the Demon God Emperor Buddha Shark has no space at all...

Besides, maybe fighting against these five people will start a lineup of infighting first.

It is destined to be stronger than Yun Fan's YY. (The best lineup in Su Feng's mind: the toolman version Su Feng X4 + the superstar version Su Feng X1.)

As the number one enemy the Lakers want to defend next season.

To be honest.

In Su Feng's view, as long as Middleton can make great progress this summer.

At that time, even if the Warriors resort to air-conditioning tactics in advance, it is impossible to do anything about the Lakers.

In Su Feng's previous life, as a special appraiser for "pseudo-fans", although Middleton's popularity is far less than that of the Douyin ball king touted by cloud fans all day long.

But when DeRozan was named the "CIC King", few people knew that Middleton's mid-range and long-range two-pointers in those years basically remained above 48%.

And, as one of the most underrated perimeter defenders in the NBA...

When the world is focusing on Antokounmpo, few people know that when Middleton is not on the court, the Bucks that have risen will lose nearly 10 points per [-] rounds to their opponents.

Even after Su Feng crossed over and was reborn, those letter blowers who were still playing hard on Antokounmpo's key shots would never be able to understand why Budenholzer always dared to hold Antokounmpo in the last moment. on the bench.

Khris Middleton.

One in the Bucks obviously did all the work of Jordan and Pippen.

However, because his style of play is not handsome enough and his style of play is not strong enough, he is a real outsider who is looked down upon by Douyinyun fans.

If you only look at the data.

Then maybe Middleton isn't even a superstar.

But similar to Jimmy Butler.

In the future, when you just glance at the post-match statistics, you can dare to say that you know the ball...

middleton...

Definitely one of the most valuable assets of this Lakers team in the future.

And once Middleton can grow up under Su Feng's whip...

That......

Ask if you don't understand.

At that time, the Lakers...

Why are you afraid of "mere" warriors?

Su Feng believed it.
