Now the Lakers' training hall is in the Staples Center arena, although it is next to the game venue, but the place is not large, and many times it is a little inconvenient. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The newly renovated training hall is a set of composite arenas, which are used together with UCLA, with an investment of more than 80 million US dollars, including gymnasiums, swimming pools and other facilities, and even supporting movie theaters.

The Lakers players wore hard hats on their heads one by one, accompanied by on-site staff to check the construction of the arena, most of which have been completed, and basically can see the whole picture.

When he really saw the training hall, Tang Shuai was also shocked by the luxury in front of him, this is simply a mini version of the Staples Center!

After the visit, they did not leave the training hall immediately, but organized to watch the promotional video of the training hall together.

Tang Shuai was sitting in the front row and watching, when a staff member suddenly walked over next to him, saying that the boss was looking for him.

After touring the gym, Jim Bass left with Kupchak, not knowing what to do with him out of the blue.

He followed the staff out with a puzzled look on his face, and when he arrived at an office next door, he found Bass sitting on a soft couch, opposite him, Kupchak sitting upright, and even Billups.

Does this look like a small meeting?

"Don, you're here, come, sit here."

After he entered, Kupchak, who was sitting on the side, shouted to Tang Shuai, and then motioned for him to sit next to him.

Tang Shuai nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Tang, I came to you today because I want to ask your opinion on something." When Tang Shuai sat down, Kupchak followed and said.

Buzz smiled and nodded.

"Say it."

'Well, I discussed it with Chauncey and last season was over, but we also found a lot of problems and we are going to make some reinforcements in the summer. Kupchak said bluntly.

After listening to what Kupchak said, Tang Shuai's eyes lit up, no wonder Bass was also here, it seemed that this was a confidential meeting, and if he was called, it would be regarded as a kind of absolute trust in him.

"Of course, some specific reinforcements, what we will do in the future, today I just want to ask you, about Yi Jianlian, Yi some things." Kupchak followed.

UAE?

Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, but he immediately came back to his senses, he really overestimated himself a little just now.

However, he soon asked: "The team, are you ready to sign Yi?" ”

"We're working in that direction, and we've been in contact with Yi for the past two summers, especially after last year's Olympics, and we're actually close to negotiating, but we haven't agreed on the details of the contract." Kupchek was honest and said everything directly.

After listening to what Kupchak said, Tang Shuai's face showed a burst of joy, in the months of training in the national team, to say that the most impressive thing for him is the UAE, although the personality is dull, although not good at words, and even maybe the ball quotient is not too high, but he is really a very hard player, almost every day to practice, coupled with his talent, leaving the NBA early, can be said to be the regret of many Chinese.

Listening to Kupchak, the Lakers still want to sign Yi Jianlian.

In fact, modern basketball is constantly developing in the direction of small ball, which is a good opportunity for Yi Jianlian, who has left the NBA for many years.

And although there is a one-year age problem, with Yi Jianlian's physical fitness, it should not be a problem to play for another three or four years.

Gasol will be 39 years old next season, and even if he can continue to play another season, he will not be able to fight like this season again.

"Well, although I know him, we don't communicate very much, if there is anything that can help the team, I will tell the truth." Tang Shuai nodded and said.

In the following time, Kupchak and Billups asked him some details about Yi Jianlian, including training intensity, physical fitness, and even work and rest time, and it was obvious that they wanted to know Yi Jianlian's current state in advance.

With this basic information, the conversation is almost over.

When it was over, and Billups came out of the office, Tang Shuai couldn't help but ask: "Chaunce, what kind of contract will the Lakers probably give Yi Jianlian?" ”

Originally, this kind of thing was not suitable to ask, and Billups didn't necessarily know about it, but because the relationship between the two people was beyond the relationship between the average coach and player, his question should be a small talk between friends.

"I don't know this very well, but I heard that it is a two-year contract, and according to the current price of the inside line, it is estimated that it will not be less than eight million." Billups said something about it, and it seemed that he was not very sure.

Tang Shuai nodded, and didn't ask again, if it was really the price he said, it would definitely be a good thing for the United Arab Emirates, and it was also sincere.

After visiting the training hall, Tang Shuai rushed back to the crew non-stop.

The plot of the second paragraph is mainly about the scene where Tang Shuai leads the Bugs Bunny to compete with the appearance monsters.

Although Tang Shuai helped the team continue to score, but the monsters of the strongest lineup in the world played Bugs Bunny, they couldn't find the north at all, and they saw that the game was about to lose, at the critical moment, the supporting actress played by Lin Yuner appeared, and there were five historical figures who appeared with him, they took back the ability to be taken away by the monsters, and finally the game ended with Tang Shuai and Bugs Bunny's crazy counterattack, the monsters were imprisoned on Earth this time, and the movie finally ushered in a happy ending.

During the filming of the last paragraph, Tang Shuai also met Kobe Bryant, Duncan, James, Johnson, who made a cameo appearance, and several people got together and chatted for a while, and then knew that after Tang Shuai received Jordan's special training, they all had greater expectations for him.

By the time the filming of the venue was completed, the time had come to the end of June.

On June 28, the 2017~2018 NBA Draft was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York as scheduled.

Compared to last year, this year's starlight is significantly stronger, except for Simmons and Ingram, last year's starlight was almost dim, but after a small year, this year's "big year" has also arrived.

However, compared with the previous two years, this year's Chinese flavor also seems to be much less.

At the beginning, Tang Shuai was the 15th pick to surprise everyone, and then Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin were both elected, which also made the Chinese people very happy, but this year, only one Zou Yuchen participated in the draft, and he was defeated in the pre-game prediction.

Tang Shuai didn't go to New York, the filming of the movie ended, he had to rest for a few days to adjust his state, and after a few days, he was going to start personal training, after he was ready to synthesize the skill pack, his task this summer was not light at all, first to upgrade some skill packs to the normal version, and then to upgrade the gold skill pack from blue to at least purple, it would take a lot of time.

He watched the live stream of the draft at home.

Josh Jackson, a violent small forward known as the "second Kobe", was elected the No. 1 pick in 2017, and his talent is also in line with most people's tone, and he is ready to lead the Nets to a strong rise in the new season.

After Jackson, Jayson Tatum and Malik Monk are also the same as predicted, becoming the eyes and tanhua of the class of 2018.

In the same year, the top three picks were all guards, making history in recent drafts.

It can also be seen from this that today's league is ushering, and it is bound to usher in a more unprecedented guard era.

The Lakers reached the Finals last season, and according to the general law, they should only be a minor fix this summer, but in the draft, they were active and surprising.

even made a deal that made the entire league tremble, and even Tang Shuai in front of the TV didn't relax for a long time.

Before the start of the draft, the Lakers announced that they had cut Ruel Deng (Deng signed a two-year contract with the Lakers in the offseason, and the second year was partially guaranteed), which was already a big surprise, because the veteran performed quite well in the playoffs last season, although the 15 million contract is a bit large, but for a team, this is a bit impersonal. This is completely different from the impression the Lakers gave in the past (you must know that Kobe Bryant's contract salary before retirement was more than 30 million).

And then immediately after the draft began, they made another trade with the Suns, trading Mozgov, who had just signed last season, plus a 2019 first-round pick, to the Suns in exchange for PJ Tucker, several expiring contracts, and an 8 million trade exception.

And it's important to note that none of the trades involved this year's draft picks.

These unusual moves have also made the rest of the league understand that the Lakers are ready to make a splash in the next free agent market.

This year's free agent play is unprecedented, Curry, Durant, Westbrook, Paul, Griffin and other top 10 or even top 5 superstars in the league have all expired contracts, not including players like Bogut, Iguodala, Wiggins.

However, the Lakers' approach did not attract other teams to follow suit, because after these trades were made, the Lakers gave the impression that they were desperate, and if they didn't win anything in the free agent market, they would really play themselves to death.

Tang Shuai was also puzzled by Kupchak's approach, especially the dismissal of Deng, which was too risky and too chilling.

If that happens, will anyone else in the free agent market dare to come?

It was in the midst of this concern that the time came on July 1, the summer of 2017, when the free agent market finally opened its doors again after a year of silence. (To be continued.) )
