"I know, but there are things I know and have to do."

Kobe Bryant said with a determined gaze.

Tang Tian looked at Kobe Bryant and soon knew what he was talking about.

The team that was ambitious in the offseason has played like a bird in front of them in the new season.

And Kobe Bryant will be more uncomfortable than everyone else, because he is the only one who has experienced F4 twice.

The last time an F4 team ended up in the finals, this time F4 now looks like it may not even make the playoffs.

How could a person like him be willing to accept two consecutive failures.

Now that Nash is injured and can't play, Howard doesn't look like he's in shape, and he has to play like that, or defeat is imminent.

"I know, you just want to win."

Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

Isn't Walker like Kobe, who was only interested in winning at UConn.

"If only you knew."

"So as a friend, I have two suggestions." Tang Tian continued.

The Lakers are now in a dead end, so Kobe Bryant didn't listen to Vanessa even if he just persuaded her back.

As Kobe Bryant himself said, he is now the man in the dead game.

To really convince Kobe, you have to break it, or at least make the Lakers' death game a little more dynamic.

"Suggestions?"

Kobe Bryant looked at Tang Tian.

If it had been changed before, Tang Tian said that he would probably not listen to the suggestion.

But after experiencing the matter of redeeming Vanessa, as Vanessa said, Tang Tian was the only person he was willing to listen to.

"Number one, and I think you have to do something, is find a way to get management to trade a defensive guard."

Tang Tian said directly.

"One of the things that is easy to overlook when D'Antoni was able to hit the Suns with Nash, apart from Nash, is that they have a top defensive player on the perimeter who can wipe Nash's ass, Raga Bale, and you should be familiar with him."

Kobe nodded, and Laga Bell, one of the "Kobe Terminators", once locked his throat.

In the list of defenses he recognizes, Bale is very high.

"But now the Lakers don't have it, and you can't play that role, so no matter when Nash comes back, or what it does, the team has to need someone like that."

Kobe nodded, what Tang Tian said was very reasonable.

The current Lakers, Artest originally played the role that Tang Tian said.

But it's a pity that Artest is too old, and he has been stepped over by various people on the defensive end of the No. 3 position.

"So find that guy, wait for Nash to come back, let him start with you, Nash, you, the defensive swingman, Artest, Howard, that's the minimum configuration that D'Antoni can play."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, Kobe Bryant looked at Tang Tian in a daze.

He suddenly felt that he had known Tang Tian in vain in the offseason.

Tang Tian's analytical ability, even if he doesn't play, he can be a head coach or general manager in the future!

Help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west.

After seeing Kobe nodded, Tang Tian then spoke again.

"Someone like that, who can be obtained for a small price and who has the possibility of a trade, I can tell you."

Bryant nodded, signaling that he was listening.

"Shaun Livingston of the Cavaliers, he's back from a big injury, but the playmaking and defense are still there, and you can partner Nash in the backcourt, and you play the number three.

CJ Myers of the Cavaliers, he's a good wing defender for the Jazz, you've probably played against him before, and he's also a three-point shot.

Aminu of the Hornets, he is a good defensive newcomer, but he is not used heavily in the Hornets.

The Suns' PJ Tucker, who only returned from overseas last season, is a heavily underrated defensive wing and he has great mental attributes.

These players are all players whose teams have a bad record, and their contract salaries are not high, and they are not very important, and it is not difficult for the Lakers to get them.

Even if you talk to the management, I'm sure it's entirely possible to trade one or two people over. ”

After listening to Tang Tian, Kobe's eyes widened.

Oh my boy, are you a player or a manager?

This is better than many professional managers of teams!

But after getting excited, he shook his head with a wry smile.

"What's wrong? Do you think the Lakers don't have leverage? These people are not worth much now, and even if they don't have an equivalent player to trade, they can get a second-round pick. ”

Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that the Spurs are strong enough by now, and he doesn't speak up in management like Kobe, he would have suggested that the team trade these quality role players to the team.

"No, it's something about the team, Mr. Bass is very sick right now, his two children are fighting for control of the team, Jim and I have a good relationship, but Jenny and I have a bad relationship, and until their fight is out, I say nothing to say."

Tang Tian told the truth to Kobe, and Kobe Bryant also told Tang Tian the truth.

Tang Tian heard this big head, this Lakers team is really a mess now.

"Your second suggestion?"

Bryant then asked.

Tang Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head, if the first suggestion couldn't be done, then the second suggestion actually didn't mean much.

Kobe probably knew what Tang Tian meant, and he didn't ask.

"Lunch should be almost ready, let's go eat."

Tang Tian nodded.

The two men drove the car back to its original position and went upstairs.

The lunch was very rich, and it was the most sumptuous meal Tang Tian had ever seen since he crossed over.

Halfway through the meal, Bryant's cell phone rang.

He wanted to hang up, but he picked up and looked at the caller, said sorry, and went out.

The two daughters were eating and playing at the same time, and Vanessa didn't say anything at this time, but looked at Tang Tian, as if asking about the result.

Tang Tian shook his head.

Vanessa's expectant eyes suddenly became helpless.

If Tang Tian and she can't convince Kobe, then there really is no one in this world who can.

Tang Tian didn't say anything, many things were forced to be demanded.

Maybe God destined Kobe Bryant to be that ending.

After a while, Bryant returned, but his face was full of smiles compared to when he first went out, and it was clearly a visceral smile.

"Don, now that the first suggestion you gave me can be implemented, what is the second suggestion?"

Kobe Bryant said directly.

It was Jim Bass who had called, and there was only one thing on the phone.

He made a pact with his sister Jeanie Buss that he would be at the helm of the team for three years, and if he could lead the Lakers back to glory during those three years, then he would become the complete ruler of the team, and he would quit the family feud after three years.
