Chapter 215 Do you want a champion?
Although the All-Star Game is over, each team rushed to start action before the trade deadline. The Lakers sent the team's main substitute, Lu Wei, in exchange for Brewer and a first-round pick.
This night, Lakers fans are destined to have trouble sleeping.
They not only have to celebrate Tianyang's winning the AMVP, but also be ready to welcome the team's newcomer DeMarcus Cousins at any time.
WOJ has stated in the previous revelations that the transaction is about to be concluded and only needs to be finalized.
Los Angeles, California, Lakers training base, inside the president's office, 1 am.
The entire office has been stripped of all unnecessary items, leaving only four sofas and a desk.
There are 6 phones on the table. Jenny, Jim, and Kupchak are discussing together. The magician is pacing back and forth by the window on the phone. The atmosphere in the whole office is extremely tense.
Kupchak clenched his coffee cup with both hands, "The Pelicans suddenly increased their game, the Kings are considering a change, and our form is not good."
Jim looked serious, "Clarkson Garlander and the first-round pick, the king's appetite is too big, or did the Pelicans really send out such a bargaining chip? Stud?"
Jenny nodded and then shook her head, "I think it's a good deal. I'm afraid Tianyang is not happy. He has a good relationship with Randall. He just won the AMVP. Sending Randall away at this time may hurt his face."
Kupchak let go of his hands and sighed slightly, "The king used Tianyang to get the AMVP to blackmail us. If someone complained about Tianyang before, saying that he used unlimited firepower to collect data, this All-Star Game has fully proved it. With his strength, as long as he has a few helpers, it is not impossible to win the championship, and the king bets us to be more anxious."
"Let's trade, Cousins is of great use to us." The magician who called stopped. Since the beginning of the new season, he has been the team's special consultant. He smiled and said: "Not only can it help the team's record, but it may also have other effects."
"What effect?" The three subconsciously asked in unison.
"I just talked to Rich Paul on the phone." The corner of the magician's lips curled up slightly, "He told me that LeBron was very happy about his experience of cooperating with Tianyang in the All-Star Game."
The three were taken aback when they heard the words, and all squinted their eyes to think, why did LeBron choose to convey this sentence at this time?
About ten seconds later, Kupchak nodded first, and then Jim responded with a slight smile. Only Jenny thought about it for a long time, but still didn't understand why.
Jim couldn't help leaning into her ear and whispering a few words, Jenny immediately opened her eyes wide and blurted out: "Really?"
The magician shrugged, "I'm not 100% sure, but they took the initiative. We must have prepared in advance. Anyway, this deal is sure to make money."
Jim nodded when he heard the words, and immediately knocked on the table, "Then it's settled, call the king now!"
"Wait!" The magician stretched out his hand to stop, "Ask Tianyang first, and we can wait a little longer, maybe the king is just scaring us, or maybe the pelican doesn't have a stud at all."
"It makes sense!" Jim slapped his forehead, then took out his mobile phone and made a private call directly.
There were several beeps, and the phone was connected.
"Jim, what do you want me for?" Tianyang's tired voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm already asleep."
"Sorry, I overlooked this point." Jim looked embarrassed, but he was very happy inside, as were the other three people in the office. Tianyang didn't celebrate wildly when he got the AMVP, but continued to work and rest according to the law, "I want to just Regarding the transaction, I will ask for your advice."
Jim used the exact word, advice rather than opinion, as a euphemism to indicate that the decision was his.
Tianyang naturally understood, and he replied very decisively: "I don't recommend Randall. He will be an All-Star player in the future, and he may not be worse than anyone else. These are my suggestions."
"Understood, I'm sorry again, you have a good rest." Jim hung up the phone, and the other four looked anxious, "Tianyang doesn't recommend Randall, what should I do?"
Jenny and Kupchak frowned thoughtfully.
The magician looked resolute, "Then just wait and see if the king's management can play any tricks."
……
In a blink of an eye, the time came to 21:8 am on the [-]st. Tianyang had already woken up. He went to the next door to wake up Ingram. The two made an appointment to go to Stanford University together to watch the game between the Sequoia and the University of Utah.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the two appeared in the Maples Arena. Although the school was not notified in advance, enthusiastic fans still held a welcome ceremony for SkyOcean.
At 2:40, the game between Sequoia and Utah officially started.
"That guy you're talking about?" Ingram pointed at the court.
"Yes, it's him. He defended me well last year." Tianyang nodded.
"That kid is a bit arrogant, ouch, he's looking at us!" Ingram said excitedly.
"I plan to suggest that the management use the first-round pick they got from the Rockets to select him in the summer. He will definitely make a profit without losing money. He has a good scoring ability and he can defend well." Tianyang said in a low voice.
"You made me dizzy, how can you defend well for a while, but only okay for a while?" Ingram asked.
"He defended me well before, but it was a bit difficult to defend against others." Tianyang replied.
"So strange? Then I have to take a serious look!" Ingram stared.
On the court, Utah lost the jump ball.
Kuzma turned and ran back, spreading his hands on the right wing in a defensive stance.
It was thought that the ball holder turned sideways and made a breakthrough like a chair.
"My God! Are you sure he can defend you? Leonard has to go all out to defend you? Why is this kid named Kuzma? Did you remember wrongly?" Ingram's face was full of doubts.
"It was okay before, he could guess my attacking routine, but not now, I'll blow him up casually!" Tianyang laughed.
In a blink of an eye, the game was over, and Kuzma's University of Utah won.
After the handshake after the game, Tianyang and Ingram walked towards Kuzma.
"Young man, do you remember me?" Tianyang asked with a smile.
"Who are you?" Kuzma turned his eyes to the sky with a very 'disdainful' expression, "Oh... I remembered, the guy who was almost locked by me last year,"
"Damn it, just your defense? How dare you lock him up?" Ingram took the opportunity to taunt, "He scored 11 points in front of 52 All-Star players last night, and he can blow you up with one shot! "
"Who are you? Go away." Kuzma waved his hands again and again, "Your hairstyle will give me nightmares."
Tianyang still wanted to say a few words, but the Utah coach had already shouted, so he could only quickly say: "Are you interested in playing for the Lakers? If you want, I can recommend you to the management."
Kuzma was taken aback when he heard the words, apparently he never expected Tianyang to be so direct, and he replied in a daze for a while: "It seems that you are the boss of the Lakers? Do you have a starting position? If you have one, I will go!"
Tianyang was about to answer when a special reminder rang on his phone, and he hurriedly took a look: WOJ broke the news that the Lakers had completed a deal with the Kings, exchanging Clarkson Garnans and two future first-round picks for Cousins and Cassby .
It turned out to be South Carolina Clarkson. Tianyang really didn't expect it, but he didn't have time to think, and he directly waved his mobile phone in front of Kuzma, "Want a championship? Come if you want, Cousins is already here, what are you waiting for?" What?"
Summer United lost and lost the championship.
