596. It's the Lakers again
Nike and Adi's young first-person competition, yes, Lillard is now basically the strongest NBA player who endorses Adi, not to mention young players, all the players who endorse Adi, Lillard may be the most powerful one.
And Liu Ren's side, there is no suspense that he is also the first among the younger generation of NBA players under Nike.
Lillard kept giving himself reasons to be mad.
Not just against the Lakers, Lillard has to find a lot of reasons to be angry with himself almost every game since the start of the new season, and only then can he find a reason to work hard in the endless disappointment of his teammates.
After the game started, Monroe easily won the jump ball, and the Lakers attacked first.
When the centers of the two teams began to jump the ball, Lillard retreated, but he still couldn't stop Liu Ren's fast break, and Liu Ren easily dunked it.
Lillard was angry when he saw his stunned teammates, and he was too much worse than his previous teammates! I didn't go back to defense at the first time!
Whoever let Lillard enter the NBA is teammates like Aldridge and Matthews and Batum, even if it is a relatively weak little Lopez who comes later, he is also the number of centers in the league on the defensive end, and now this group of teammates is too far behind.
If it weren't for Lillard, this group would have been signed for the top pick, and now these people are even worse than when Kobe Bryant led the team alone, and at that time Kobe Bryant had Odom and Wharton next to him so that he could find some comfort......
Holding back his anger, Lillard dribbled to the frontcourt.
It is McCollum who defends Lillard, the biggest change in the Lakers this season is that Liu Ren is rarely allowed to defend the opponent's main ball-handler, in fact, it is like this in strong teams, strong teams that win the championship, even if their best players defend very well, but if it is an outside line, they generally will not continue to serve as a defensive spearhead, Kobe Bryant was at his peak, that is, the Lakers 04-07 Those three very poor seasons, Kobe Bryant was the Lakers' first defensive arrow on the outside, but after 07 years, the Lakers' first defensive arrow was not Kobe, but Ariza, Artest and others, the same is true for the Heat, with a defensive titan like Battier, most of the time James doesn't have to defend the opponent's strongest offensive outside, of course, James's tragedy is that he is forced to defend the opponent's big forward or even the center.
Lillard held back a fire when he saw McCollum, he had a good relationship with McCollum, he was originally very optimistic about McCollum's ability, who knew that the management only got a second round and more than 2 million cash, and sent McCollum to the Lakers team where Liu Ren, Lillard hated the most, although the Trail Blazers management used this second round from the Hornets to exchange the 2014 first-round No. 9 show Noah Vonleh, but only played a year and even a second-round pick can be exchanged for the No. 9 show, you don't have to think about it to know that it is a scumbag!
Against his previous younger brother, Lillard did not spare his hand, and directly opened his firepower, pressed McCollum to play, and easily hit the mid-range to score two points on a stop-and-go jump shot before Liu Ren made up for it.
It's getting sharper! Liu Ren was ignited by Lillard's growing strength.
Obviously, Lillard is not young because he has played in college for a long time, he was born in 90 and is 25 years old, he has begun to enter his peak, and his skills in all aspects are quite mature, and as his body also enters his peak, he is naturally stronger than the players who entered the NBA at the same time.
To be honest, Liu Ren himself feels that he can suppress Lillard in terms of physical fitness.
But physical fitness is also part of strength, Liu Ren knows very well that this near-perfect physical fitness is the key to his foothold in the NBA, of course, he has not become the kind of person who plays purely by physical fitness, even James, who is almost the first irascible physical fitness man in NBA history, has honed his skills to the extreme, except for back play and shooting stability, James's offensive skills have almost no shortcomings.
The Lakers attacked, and Clarkson dribbled past half court and handed the ball to Liu Ren, who held the ball and attacked.
Today's Lakers lineup is used to let Liu Ren play alone, D'Antoni also understands that although it is for the good of the whole team to reduce Liu Ren's performance opportunities, and at the same time let Liu Ren have more contact with other playing styles is also for Liu Ren's good, but if Liu Ren is suppressed too much, it will be counterproductive.
Defend Liu Ren's ...... It's Lillard!
That's right, Lillard is very aggrieved, he is not a good defensive player in the first place, but now he is the best defensive player on the outside of the Trail Blazers, with speed, physical contact, defensive attitude and awareness.
Grievances are grievances, Lillard defended the opponent's arrow figure This matter was he took the initiative to apply to head coach Stells, no way, he saw that Henderson had empty physical fitness, but when he was broken through by the other party, he was really angry like the traffic commander!
Liu Ren saw that it was Lillard who defended, and immediately chose to crush the breakthrough!
It was easy, Liu Ren easily crushed Lillard and broke through the three-point line.
However, to Liu Ren's surprise, Lillard immediately stuck to it again, with a feeling of "Lao Zi is not afraid of you" on his face.
This is Lillard, after he played the name of Curry Kuri-Tian, he was able to play the name of the more bullish Li Changtian, that is, he was not cowardly in the face of Curry in the playoffs last year, and he was hard to die, and he did not even fall behind in firepower, but the Trail Blazers played the Warriors like the Lakers, it was too difficult to win, and the bench was abused by the Warriors.
Liu Jin almost got Lillard inside with him, and then leaned sideways to avoid Carman's defense and hooked the ball into the basket with one hand.
"Huh......"
Some fans at the scene who didn't play with their mobile phones, didn't eat, didn't chat, and fart made startled sounds, Liu Ren's offensive technique is rare!
"Eh, JJ, boss, this seems to be a hook hand?" Paul asked, somewhat uncertain.
"It's not like it, it's too close, it looks like a throw." Reddick wasn't sure either.
The Clippers just didn't have a game today, and Paul came to watch the Lakers and Trail Blazers play.
Maybe there is not much suspense in this game in the eyes of most people, just like now, Lillard scored two points with full firepower, Liu Ren easily scored with Lillard on the inside, and the gap in strength between the two sides was too big.
However, Paul is interested in this game because there are two players in this game that he values very much, one is Liu Ren and the other is Lillard.
The team has to move to another stadium in a year at most, which makes Paul happy, and to be honest, he doesn't like the posters of his team's players in the sky above the team's home stadium, which is too lo.
According to what Paul learned, Ballmer, the owner of Monkey Rush and Wealth, hired a construction company that built the main venue for the London Olympics three years ago, and may even hand over the new stadium before the end of the season.
In fact, the most important thing to build a stadium is not to repair, the repair may be completed in three or five months, the main thing is the design, as well as the planning of the construction, which is what the construction company is best at, can use the most reasonable method to shorten the construction period, plus a large number of people, half a year is more than enough for them, and then only need the NBA league official inspection to meet the NBA official stadium requirements, and it is over.
Paul watched the situation on the court, that is, Liu Ren and Lillard against Biao.
Just like Paul thought, this game is two against Biao, but Liu Ren and Lillard score too hard, Lillard not only has to face his former brother's crazy blocking, but also face Liu Ren's endless defense, the loss is that there is no Green and Whiteside, Antetokounmpo are three people, otherwise Lillard will have to be defended today.
And Henderson and Aminu, the two outside lines, couldn't help at all, and Lillard passed a few times to the two who were in the open seats, and the two made mistakes except for hitting the iron, so he had to come by himself.
And Liu Ren's side played an easy game, Monroe and Gasol have long-range shooting ability, Liu Ren hit the inside line or a strong dunk, and if the opportunity is not good, he uses the hook hand that is very awkward in the eyes of the fans, but it is accurate.
Once the Trail Blazers choose to pack, Liu Ren will give the ball to Gasol or Monroe to respond, and then Clarkson and McCollum will be high, and they can always receive passes in the most comfortable shooting position.
Liu Ren and Lillard's scores are rising, both of them scored more than 30 points at halftime, but the scores of the two teams are a little far apart, Lillard scored 37 points at halftime, but the Trail Blazers only scored 42 points in the whole team, that is to say, except for him The Trail Blazers only scored 5 points combined, and Liu Ren's side scored 35 points in the half, a little less than Lillard, but the Lakers scored 69 points at halftime, and the suspense of the game ended at halftime.
Scored 30 points again, Liu Ren really played in the NBA for more than two years, and for the first time felt how happy it was to get 30+ points, he couldn't help but think of Leonard, who scored 40 points for the first time a few days ago, and was turned out to be "too focused on training and accidentally fell in love with training and didn't want to play" in the second game.
However, Liu Ren is very suspicious that D'Antoni's current coaching is definitely influenced by Popovich, and of course, Bickerstaff's coaching philosophy is estimated to have a large part of the influence, but I have to say that the coaching combination of D'Antoni and Bickerstaff is a perfect match! Liu Ren originally thought that D'Antoni would find an opportunity to be fired by management last year, but who knew that after Bickerstaff and D'Antoni partnered, there was an incredible chemistry, and the entire Lakers team benefited.
As long as he is good to the team, he is a good coach, and the Lakers management temporarily put out the idea of changing coaches, and after winning the championship, they were full of praise for D'Antoni......
At the beginning of the second half, Liu Ren was put on the bench without suspense, and D'Antoni sent LaVine, Nick Young, Korver, Nance Jr., and Blake.
On the Trail Blazers' side, Lillard is still playing with a group of teammates, which is very realistic, Lillard needs better data, otherwise Skyles, the coach, will be the end, the team's record is not good, and if the only superstar data is average, his coach will be too useless.
And the 27-point difference looks too ugly, and the Trail Blazers have to narrow the score a little.
So Lillard and Liu Ren vs. Biao became Lillard and LaVine, Nick Young, and Korver.
LaVine played really well on the Trail Blazers' sad outside line, Lillard had to defend against Nick Young, LaVine played well in the face of Henderson and Crabbe, these two didn't defend at all, LaVine showed what he had learned over the past year, all kinds of excellent passes, and after he entered the interior, the Trail Blazers really didn't dare not help defense, LaVine's physical fitness was called a brutality, and he gave Miles Leonard a dunk when he came up.
Narrowing the score is still a bit of an extravagant hope for the Trail Blazers, Lillard and LaVine, Nick Young, and Korver, the Lakers' two short interior runners with excellent physical fitness are very good, and they can often receive LaVine's passes and dunk directly, and Nance Jr. shows the genetics of the son of the dunk king, all kinds of flying ......
In the end, Lillard scored 55 points on 17-of-35 shooting in Liu Ren's envious eyes, but the Lakers beat the Trail Blazers 121-90 to win 13 in a row.
……
……
accidentally won another 13 consecutive wins, but the Lakers did not dare to relax, because after a day of rest, they will welcome the Warriors, who have won 14 consecutive leagues!
The brutal start of this year's Warriors has made basketball fans feel incredible!
The Lakers' 13-game winning streak is considered normal, their roster is even stronger than last season, and they can make do with three playoff-caliber starting lineups, plus last season's horrific 74 wins, no one will be surprised if they win this year.
And the Warriors are too surprising, Steve Kerr refused the Knicks to come to the Warriors as head coach last season, and directly brought the Warriors, who only had more than 40 wins the previous year, to more than 60 wins, making the Warriors almost metamorphosis.
The credit for all this is naturally placed on Steve Kerr, the rookie coach, if it weren't for the Lakers' record last year, which was so good, the professional media would have wanted to vote for Steve Kerr for the best coach.
It's not just the record, Steve Kerr brings the Warriors' tactical philosophy to make people feel that the worldview is about to change, and the shooting team can be so good!
If it weren't for the Lakers' incomprehension, the Warriors would have won the championship last year.
As soon as the news came out that Steve Kerr had a recurrence of his back injury and would have to rest for at least three to four months, people thought the Warriors were finished because the Warriors hired a rookie coach to come and take over, and that person was Wharton.
But what is surprising is that Wharton seems to be doing better than Steve Kerr! Excellent personnel deployment, frightening death of five small, but able to put on a normal lineup grinding position, and it is very powerful.
More than a dozen games have passed since the beginning of the game, and the Lakers have averaged 119 points per game, conceded 98 points per game, and averaged a terrifying 21 points per game.
And the Warriors' goal difference is not as terrifying as the Lakers, but their score is stronger! 121 points per game! 31 assists per game!
Not only that, but they also conceded an average of only 104 points per game, a whopping 17 points per game.
Statistically, the Warriors are more terrifying than the Lakers, from scoring to rebounding to assists...... Pretty much all the stats are that the Warriors are crushing their opponents.
Although this is only the beginning of the season, and it will gradually decrease as the season progresses, it is scary enough! Even scarier than the Lakers started last season!
This brought Walton into the eyes of the management of various teams in an instant, and many teams were careful after knowing that Walton only signed a one-year deal with the Warriors.
Either Steve Kerr or Walton, the Warriors can only keep one, both of whom are rookie coaches, and both are so good.
Of course, Wharton's record this year is actually a bit cheaper than Steve Kerr, who has already helped the Warriors build the foundation, and Wharton is just here to take the already good team to the next level.
But that's not to say that Wharton isn't good, but it's even more difficult for other teams to think highly of Wharton, and it's actually harder to lead an already good team led by a very good coach to a better level than to bring a team that isn't very good.
Getting along with the players, making the players believe in themselves, and having real coaching ability, is the only way to get things done.
Just because of Walton, the Lakers management began to be unable to sleep again, well, I couldn't sleep when I couldn't sleep during a nap.
Jenny Bass is in a meeting with Kupchak, Magic, and by the way, three agents.
"Mary, Irene, this is Rob, I think you've known each other for a long time." Jenny Bass introduced the two.
"I'm glad to see you again, Rob." The chick has a strong woman temperament that she doesn't have at home when she works outside.
"Oh, Mary, you're not thinking about me, you're thinking about when you'll be able to snatch my players from under me." Pelinka laughed.
"Hello, my name is Erin Monica." Cold-faced beauties are always so cold, his deterrent power in the company is greater than that of chicks, chicks will smile and care when they see artists or athletes younger than themselves, Monica will always be so cold.
"Iceberg beauty in the broker world, it's a pleasure to meet you." Pelinka still laughed.
"Don't be polite, we still have a lot of opportunities to cooperate in the future, by the way, Rob, when can you handle the affairs of the brokerage company, Erwin has been waiting for you." Jenny Bass said.
The magician was also staring at Pelinka.
"OKOK, aren't we here to talk about this today, I've already communicated with the players, and I'm lucky that because mary's boyfriend is the boss, they don't mind changing agencies, mary, here are the contracts of sixteen NBA players in my hand, and they've signed them all...... Eh...... What are you doing in such a hurry, let me miss my time as an agent a little more......"
Before Pelinka could finish speaking, the contract bag was snatched away by the chick almost like a snatch.
"Rob, you're going to be a Lakers executive, and you still care about being an agent? It's $20 million, a check from a Swiss bank. The chick decisively threw out the 20 million US dollar knife, and then checked the contract with Monica.
Pelinka's face ached, these are sixteen active NBA players! Among them, Kobe Bryant needless to say, there is also Durant who has just signed a super endorsement contract, as well as James Harden, the new league's No. 1 scoring guard, and Bosh, who is now holding more than 20 million a year although he has no ball, in addition to Gerald Wallace, Eric Gordon, Iguodala and others with an annual salary of tens of millions, as well as potential young people such as Bradley and Exum, plus high-quality role players such as Napier and Shabas, The total salary of these people in the NBA in a year has reached 150 million, and the salary commission alone is nearly 10 million, even if Kobe, Durant, and Harden's endorsement commission is only 5%, there are several million, and these people can bring more than 10 million income to Pelinka in a year, and their contracts with Pelinka's agency are still long, which is by no means worth this mere 20 million US dollars.
Chick looked at the seventeen contracts, her eyes were shining, sixteen of them were the player's signing authorization contracts, and the term was more than 5 years, and the last one was the agreement that Pelinka's agency was merged into the Chick's agency, Pelinka's side had already signed, and 20 million US dollars were packaged and sold to the chick.
Sold for 20 million US dollars, Pelinka is undoubtedly a loss, but if he wants to sell to other brokerage companies that have the strength to acquire, it is actually not much better, and those people will definitely suppress the price even more if they know that Pelinka is going to the Lakers management.
And Pelinka is going to the Lakers as an executive, so it is naturally the best thing to do to put these players in the hands of the chicks, and the best player on the Lakers team is this strong woman's man!
Pelinka has now seen that the agency will be particularly difficult to do, not to mention that the chick has unknowingly become a pivotal presence in the agency, let's just say that the agency cooperated by James and Rich Paul has circled one-third of the NBA's stars, and the cooperation between superstars and agencies will make it difficult for many traditional agencies to survive in the future, so Pelinka chose to withdraw in advance before the arrival of that era.
Now the NBA is becoming more and more realistic, there are more and more groups, a young man with explosive talent enters the NBA, he will choose to work in a traditional brokerage company, and then work hard in the NBA independently, or choose to go to James or Liu Ren's agency, and there will be a group of veterans to take care of him when he enters the league, such as Anthony who takes care of Porzingis, these two choices, not stupid, will make a very wise decision.
The most important factor is Liu Ren, since Pelinka is going to be the management of the Lakers, he naturally has to have a good relationship with Liu Ren, he originally expected to be sold in a package of about 30 million, 30 million is already very cheap, but in the end it came to 20 million, and the chick bit it.
Pelinka is an investment, and even before he got the money, he signed his name on the contract first, and he also pressed his fingerprint, which can show his determination, and more money has been spent, do you care about this 10 million......
After Monica and the chick checked the contract, they both smiled, even a cold-faced beauty like Monica smiled.
This unexpected acquisition is completed, and their agency has really entered the ranks of top brokerage companies, as for Falck's suppression, it has indeed created a lot of difficulties for them, and they have not signed any outstanding artists or athletes in recent months, but as soon as the acquisition news is announced, how many people will be left who will help Falck? Both were curious.
Of course, neither Chick nor Pelinka will say the price of the acquisition, even if people will see that Chick will take the initiative to add players to the Lakers, but they will still not say such a cheap price.
"OK, Rob, I hope we will have a more pleasant cooperation in the future." Chick gives Pelinka one of the contracts in triplicate for the merger agreement.
Pelinka turned out the contract, gently shook the chick's finger, and said gentlemanly: "Of course, our cooperation in the future will be very pleasant." ”
Although the contract was of little use to Pelinka, he kept it as a memento.
It's that simple, it's so fast, a deal that can shake the NBA agency world can be signed at such a cheap price and quickly.
"OK, Rob, mary, your affairs have been negotiated, and we will talk about the next thing, are you ready for the funds over there?" Jenny Bass asked.
Speaking of which, Chick and Pelinka were in pain at the same time, not only in pain to the point that their faces twitched, but this time it was almost like giving birth.
However, the thing that Jeanne Bass told them, no matter how painful it was, they flocked to it!
"I'm ready here, here is the first payment of 70 million US dollars, and the remaining 100 million will be paid in 4 years, let's say okay first, interest-free! Interest-free! The chick emphasized again.
"OKOK, mary, you're such a person who doesn't want to lose." Jenny Bass was also helpless, she finally persuaded a few younger siblings to pass the matter, and the result was still an installment.
"Mary, are you so short of money? Otherwise, you can buy less, I have a lot of money here, Jenny, I have $190 million here ready. "Pelinka, he still has a little resentment about the loss of 10 million US dollars before, he is not short of money, but it is 10 million US dollars!
Of course, Pelinka did it on purpose, and this little joke could bring them closer together.
"Needless to say, I only got five percent, but you got six percent, you have already taken advantage!" Just kidding, of course the chick refuses to give up, although the 70 million US dollars almost invested all the money she cashed out from the stock market, but even if she sells those fixed assets in China, she will not hesitate to choose to buy them, but unfortunately she can take out so much at a time, Liu Ren's side was almost cleaned, and she could only watch Pelinka get a percentage point more.
"Mary, you're unreasonable, you've already bought two percentage points before! Give me an extra percentage point, and I'll pay in cash right away! "Pelinka is still fighting.
"No talk!"
“……”
"Okay, okay, everyone will be a shareholder of the Lakers in the future, and we will all be a family, let's go to the Hilton Hotel, my younger brother can't wait to get the money......"
