Legend Raiders

Chapter 866
The training camp is proceeding step by step, and it is basically halfway through now.

The players who participated in the training gained a lot, especially those semi-professional young players.

While Qin Tao and the others were busy with the training camp, Zarya also received some calls from across the ocean.

Among them, the Lakers received the most calls.

Looking at the operations of the Lakers this summer, it seems to mean a complete overthrow and reconstruction.

After they let go of Gasol, this signal has basically been known to everyone.

As for Kobe, who was seriously injured last season and couldn't play many games, his attitude towards the Lakers is also very supportive.

Perhaps because he knew that his career was short, after the Lakers called Zarya, he even called Qin Tao directly.

Honestly.

Qin Tao was somewhat flattered by Kobe's call, and even the tone of the call gave him a faint idea of ​​joining the Lakers.

Kobe completely talked about the spiritual and material aspects of the Lakers, so that in this coolest city in the United States, the commercial benefits are even more scary.

Sometimes when players win over others, the most direct and effective way is often money.

And the Lakers can give the most money, so in the face of money, at least half of the players in the league can't resist it.

of course.

Qin Tao is definitely not a person who is greedy for money, but in terms of team background and team planning, they are indeed the key factors that attract the Lakers.

in those days.

The Lakers and Celtics are definitely the undisputed rulers of the East and West!
During those 20 years, it can be said that that generation of people could not hold their heads up!
Until entering the Jordan era, the Lakers and Celtics began a long period of reconstruction and development.

But with the end of the Jordan era, the Lakers did seize the opportunity and introduced a large number of good players one after another, and finally recast their glory with Kobe and O'Neal!
Thereafter.

Of course, because of their parting ways, the Lakers fell into a trough again.

But as Kupchak robbed Gasol, the Lakers took off again and became the league's champion team that almost created a dynasty again.

nowadays.

They have come to that stage again, they only need to find a core that can support the Lakers for another 20 years, then they will continue to be one of the top giants in the league!
So they were so desperate to get Qin Tao that in the last week of the training camp, they even sent Mitch Kupchak, the general manager of the team, to come in person.

have to say.

Zarya's role in this event is really heavy!

If it weren't for her "dragging tactics", the Lakers would never send their heavyweights!

Simultaneously.

Danny Angie's side is even more jittery, and everyone is in a state of great anxiety.

Their visas in China have already been changed once. If Qin Tao's contract cannot be settled, then they will get nothing after returning to China, and even become the biggest laughing stock in the league!

But the only thing that made it easier for Danny Angie and the others was that because the relationship between Qin Tao and them was too long, they didn't just sit still, but used the team's public relations team to start building momentum for them!

In the news on the Internet and various media, there have been words like Qin Tao not keeping his word!
Especially the reports from the local media in Boston directly described Qin Tao as a duplicity scumbag!
Simply this kind of argument comes from the tabloid news, otherwise this will be a counterproductive operation!
Because no matter when Qin Tao entered the league, or when his status is shining now, he has never succumbed to those news media and the like!
Even at some point, because of the participation of the media, his decision was very tough.

Therefore, the usual methods used by some teams are not a huge profit, at least not in Qin Tao's case.

of course.

This is what the Celtics were forced to do.

If Qin Tao could make some effective responses, they would not use this method.

at the same time.

Zarya's team also expressed some dissatisfaction.

In view of Qin Tao's ability to lead the team last season, the Celtics did not make any moves this summer to improve the team's competitiveness.

Although they still maintain an optimistic mood now, the actions of the Celtics really make them a little hesitant.

But Zarya is a very shrewd woman. After complaining about the Celtics and why they didn't renew their contract immediately, she didn't mention the idea of ​​meeting any team at all between the lines.

However, the actions of the Lakers are no longer a secret, and what she said is true and a bit unreliable.

But it's like buying and selling something, even if the thing has been famous, as long as it has not been sold, the buyer has the right to intervene, and even eventually become its buyer.

Around NO.20 in August, Qin Tao and Zarya gathered in the small meeting room of the hotel.

According to Zarya, this meeting was just a meeting, and Qin Tao was not reminded that their meeting this time was a negotiation.

After they sat down and waited for a little more than 10 minutes, Mitch Kupchak led his team into the conference room.

The two parties greeted each other very warmly. Kupchak first found an excuse, and then went directly to the topic.

"The Lakers are a great team." Kupchak said proudly: "In the history of the Lakers, there are countless superstars who will go down in history!"

Say it.

Kupchak suddenly sighed: "But the Lakers are great enough, but they are also like human beings. There is always a time when they need to introduce new blood!"

Kupchak paid attention to the expressions of Qin Tao and Zarya, and found that they just nodded in agreement and did not express any opinions. Then he sighed secretly and said sharply: "Mr. Qin, as one of the strongest superstars in the league , we are very eager to get you!"

Qin Tao still didn't make a statement, and said with a smile: "I feel very honored, and I am really flattered."

Kind words.

Kupchak smiled, and said quite calmly: "You must be aware of Mr. Kobe Bryant's situation. I think Mr. Kobe has already had a pleasant exchange with you."

Qin Tao did not deny it at all: "That's right! He is a very respectable player."

Kupchak went straight: "Since you and Mr. Kobe have already communicated, I think you also know what the Lakers think of you."

Qin Tao nodded again, but did not speak.

"As a legendary team with a long history and glorious honor, the Lakers very much hope that you can join the team!"

"We solemnly promise that you will always be the core of the Lakers. As long as you want, we can build the team according to your requirements!"

Kupchak said confidently: "Miss Jenny Buss said before we arrived in your home country that we will not only give you unique privileges, but also prepare a set of operations and promotions tailored for you. plan!"

"With the resources of Los Angeles and the Lakers, we have reason to believe that with our cooperation, your influence will be greatly improved!"
