With two consecutive victories, the Lakers' record came to 24-12, still in the fifth position in the Western Conference.The Sonics are firmly in the top four in the Western Conference by virtue of their regional advantages. The team wants to squeeze into the upper half, and the goal can only be the Dallas Mavericks. The team is currently two games behind the Mavericks, and it is not easy to chase.

Due to losing two card battles in a row before, the Lakers have also been overtaken by the Rockets behind them.

And behind him, the Kings, Nuggets, Timberwolves, and Grizzlies are not easy to deal with!The Lakers are still under a lot of pressure!

After a day off, the Lakers will face the powerful Spurs at home. Before that, Kupchak found Ke Yan and asked him what positions he needs to strengthen and what players he is looking for. He can try to contact him .

Ke Yan's performance in leading the team is good. The low-level players Anderson and Barnes, who had previously advocated the introduction, also played well in the team, which earned him a certain amount of trust from Kupchak.In addition, Ke Yan was promoted by Kupchak and Jim Bass to the position of head coach, and Kupchak is more willing to help Ke Yan improve the team's performance within a reasonable range.

The higher the results of Ke Yan's leadership, the more weight Kupchak and Jim Buss will have in front of Jeri Buss!

"Eddie House, who was just waived by the Bucks, I can use this man, please help me sign him, he is at least much better than Terry Brown as a backup point guard!"

A backup point guard with a basic salary, without paying any bargaining chips, could not be easier for Kupchak: "Okay, I'll contact his agent, it's not a big problem."

It's just that a guard who has just been cut by the Bucks can help the Lakers?

Kupchak's eyes showed some doubts, and Ke Yan smiled and gave his own opinion: "If the tactics are right, he is no worse than Damon Jones of the Heat. I have confidence."

"On the basis of ensuring the health of the team, I am confident to lead the team into the playoffs. But if we want to go further, the team really needs an inside offensive point." It is not that Ke Yan is pessimistic, Mavericks, Spurs , The strength of the Suns is a level higher than other opponents in the West. The current lineup will play seven games against these three opponents. The chances of the Lakers winning are slim.And even if you are lucky enough to face the Supersonic, it will be [-]-[-] if you die.

"The Kings may not be willing to give us Webb." Kupchak shook his head and rejected Ke Yan's choice.

The conflict between Webber, Bibby, and Peja has affected the results of the Kings. The management will definitely make changes before the trade deadline. Weber, who is the oldest, has potential injuries, and has the highest salary, is of course the most likely to be the Kings. Object, but if the Kings are not bad, they will send Webber to the East, and will not leave it to the old rival Lakers.

"But I think our chips are the best!" Ke Yan looked at Kupchak and said.

Ke Yan's meaning is obvious. As the head coach, he feels that it is worth giving up Odom's potential and comprehensiveness to gamble on Weber's immediate combat power, coping ability and high-position offensive ability.

Historically, Webber's performance with Iverson after he went to the 76ers was not good. Like a catalyst, he improved the Pistons' offense and allowed the Pistons to play the most "gorgeous" basketball in years.

Exploring the reason why Webber encountered Waterloo in the 76ers, I am afraid that it is also related to Iverson's all-encompassing style of play.With Iverson, there is basically no such thing as high-level support. Webber's role is more of a "spatial insider", shooting and catching pots. If he can play well, there will be ghosts!

Kobe and Iverson, who is more paranoid about personal offense is hard to say, but who is more compatible with the inside is probably nothing to discuss.Kobe pays more attention to shooting power and doesn't like to play pick-and-rolls, but he doesn't have so much control over possession and is willing to run without the ball.In theory, the combination of Kobe + Webber can be tried.

Ke Yan's idea is very good, but as the general manager, Kupchak needs to consider more things. Odom is in the team's long-term plan. Unless he is an All-Star or quasi-All-Star player in his prime, the Lakers The team will not trade him.

To put it bluntly, Odom's pick in the Lakers is even higher than that of Keyan!

Plan A was rejected, and Ke Yan nunuzui proposed alternatives, David West of the Hornets and Boris Diaw of the Eagles.Both of them are second-year rookies who have not played well, and the transaction value is not very high. The Lakers still hope to get them without losing core players and future draft picks.

After walking out of Kupchak's office, Ke Yan was not in a good mood.

Although he was promoted to the head coach smoothly and his performance seemed to be good at the beginning, his right to speak is still very limited.Lead the team to train, play games, sign some low-level players, and make some "insignificant" small transactions without moving the team's core players and future draft picks.Once Ke Yan stepped over the boundary, all the replies he got were "NO"!

Maybe my current grades are worthy of this right to speak, but it is inevitable. . . . .There will still be some loss.

"Ke Yan~"

He raised his head abruptly, and Wang Lifan with smiling eyes came into view.

Ke Yan was a little dazed, shook his head, and asked stupidly, "Why are you here?"

Wang Lifan's face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, and his brows were slightly frowned, "Go back to school." His tone was obviously a little unhappy.

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Ke Yan immediately waved his hand to apologize: "I'm sorry, at work..."

"It's not going well?" Although he is a student who has not yet stepped out of the ivory tower, Wang Lifan also knows that the more "glamorous" the job, the greater the pressure it bears!

"Well, let's not talk about this. Let's go to dinner together, to celebrate your return~" Ke Yan naturally took Wang Lifan's hand and walked out.

"Wait a minute!" Wang Lifan grabbed Ke Yan, "I have prepared a gift for you!"

Finally looking like a girlfriend, Ke Yan was in a good mood, looked at Wang Lifan, and said "huh~".

Wang Lifan let go of Ke Yan's hand, took a large box from the ground, and handed it to Ke Yan: "Two pots of flowers I cultivated by myself, put them in your office to improve your vision."

"I haven't even sent you flowers yet!" Ke Yan said "depressed" and opened the box. Inside were two pots of hydrangeas, one reddish and the other lavender.

"thank you!"

Putting the hydrangea in the office, Wang Lifan specially told, "The red pot has a few iron nails inserted in it, don't pull it out! The lavender pot, remember to spray it with soapy water!"

"Anything special?"

"When you figure it out, I'll give you a reward!" Wang Lifan cast a wink, Ke Yan moved his index finger, hugged Wang Lifan in the office, and moved his head closer, but Wang Lifan still pressed his index finger to his lips.

"You haven't won three in a row yet! Scientist~"

TMD kisses his girlfriend and wins three in a row!

To make matters worse, the opponent turned out to be the Spurs!

(There are three reasons for the protagonist's idea of ​​replacing Odom with Webber. One is to improve the team's immediate combat power, achieve better results, and increase personal reputation; the other is that he is a little disappointed with Odom and doesn't value it that much. In fact, everyone knows the results of the combination of Kobe + Odom; the third is to improve one's understanding of organizational insiders. The scientist is not a full-level number in the book. He has to upgrade slowly and integrate the ideas of many famous coaches , forming its own set of things)
