Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 232 Renew the Knight Dungeon
Kupchak let the magic hang out for an afternoon, and after obtaining the consent of Jim Buss, he finally called DeVos and reached a verbal agreement.

The two teams are still going through the formalities, and the news of WOJ came out: the Lakers and the Magic completed the first deal of the season, Hibbert plus the second round exchange in 2017 for Jason Smith, Channing Frye and the special case of the transaction.

Kupchak looked at WOJ's twitter and thought that this guy really has a trick. He didn't notify any media, not even the head coach, but he got the news first.

Looking at the content of the transaction written by WOJ, it is completely consistent with the facts. It seems that there is a reason why people can eat this bowl of rice.

It was almost noon the next day before Kupchak officially notified Scott of the deal.

Scott was not surprised at all. Last night his phone was about to explode. Players and reporters repeatedly asked about the transaction, but he couldn't answer at all. All he knew was news from a reporter on Twitter.

Normally speaking, if a transaction involves tens of millions of dollars, the general manager should list all possible options and discuss with the head coach in advance. On the one hand, he can listen to some professional opinions, and on the other hand, he should also express his respect for the head coach.

But Bass and Kupchak didn't take Scott seriously.

They think that Scott is just a person who will be fired at any time, so why bother to let him participate?

So Scott was ashamed in front of the players and the media, and he simply turned off his phone from the evening.

Then most of the media immediately spread rumors that the Lakers were going to change their coach. The media is like this, they will act on hearing the news, and they will not hesitate to fabricate and distort the facts in order to attract people's attention.

Yuan Qingshan was still training when he knew the news of the transaction. He was immersed in the three-point shooting training for the past two days and couldn't extricate himself. He had no time to surf the Internet. It was Gakki who told him the news specially.

With an undercover center who can't play and a point guard who averages 7 points per game and a power forward who averages 5 points per game in the second round, this deal seems to be good. It can just fill the empty bench of the Lakers. If they continue to play at this intensity, Thackeray and Blake's bodies will not be able to withstand it.

The Lakers and Magic formally applied to the league, and the process went very quickly. However, considering the time for approval and physical examination, the new players would not have time to catch up with the next game.

There are still three games before the Christmas game, the first of which is the rival: the Cleveland Cavaliers.

They want to brush the knights again.

The Lakers had a good rest during this time, and coach Scott decided to rush to Cleveland one day earlier.

Unsurprisingly, LeBron James sent someone to pick up the third youngest of the Lakers directly. It is very common to visit local friends in away games. Scott led the other players to the hotel after a few instructions.

Who doesn't have many friends in the circle, but look at Yuan Qingshan's circle of friends: Wall, Cousins, Wade, James, Curry... It seems that they are all team leaders.

It seems that except for the Thunder's Westbrook and Yuan Qingshan who are a bit against each other, everyone else can quickly become friends with him.

Scott said to himself: This little guy has a great personality. If a newcomer wants to get ahead in the league quickly, in addition to his own hard power, good interpersonal relationships are also very important.

After driving for a while, the white extended Lincoln arrived at James' home in Cleveland.

This time, Yuan Qingshan and the others were greeted by another heavyweight guest: Melon Carmelo Anthony.

Seeing the old man in the hoodie come out of the villa, several people were taken aback, especially Whiteside. If it weren't for the presence of James, he would definitely have grabbed Anthony and asked him to tell himself a good story about gangsters over the years.

James prepared a steak dinner for them at home. It stands to reason that they should not overeat during the game, especially meat.

But... the chefs in James' family are so good that people can't stop.

While everyone was eating, James and Anthony laughed secretly. Seeing how these three guys ate, they didn't look like they came from the big city of Los Angeles, but rather like poor boys from some rural town.

James: "Hey, hey, you guys are choking, I don't want to be on the headlines tomorrow morning."

Anthony laughed loudly: "Why are you on the news, murdering your opponents, and making them unable to play?"

Downs stuffed a mouthful of beef and muttered, "Come on, this kind of murder, never be polite to me!"

Yuan Qingshan filled his stomach, looked at the mess in front of him, and wiped his mouth embarrassedly: "Thank you very much, I dare say that you can't find such an authentic steak in Los Angeles!"

James raised his glass to the chef who was turning over the grill in the distance: "Did you hear that, Jack, the guests are praising your craftsmanship."

The person called Jack bowed shyly to express his thanks, and then carefully sprinkled pepper on a large piece of lamb leg, and a scent wafted immediately, and Whiteside couldn't help but drool again.

"Have you finished eating, Yuan Qingshan?" Seeing that Towns and Whiteside had no intention of stopping at all, James decided not to wait for them.

"Eat well, if I eat any more, I really won't be able to play the game." Yuan Qingshan patted his stomach: "You don't want to win without martial arts, do you?"

James stood up: "Let's go over there and sit down, let these two foodies eat slowly. Jack has prepared more than a dozen kinds of food behind him and hasn't come up yet."

"Oh, my God, you are too enthusiastic." Yuan Qingshan followed James and Anthony to a viewing room with three huge French windows on the other side of the yard.

"Is it really good to lie down immediately after eating so much?" Yuan Qingshan said so, but his body was honest and comfortable half lying down, and he could see the bright starry sky of Cleveland through the window when he raised his head slightly.

"It's definitely not good to be honest. If you don't believe me, look at this guy's stomach." James pointed to Anthony. This guy was lying more comfortably than Yuan Qingshan, and he was about to fall asleep.

James continued: "Kobe will not be able to play tomorrow, right? Are you in charge of the offensive firepower from outside?"

Yuan Qingshan shook his legs contentedly: "You have committed a foul, you actually tricked me."

James was amused: "Come on, there are only a few people in your team. You don't need to ask to know how to play. In short, be careful, our head coach is already eyeing you. Oh, yes, and Director Lu. He has been interested in you since March this year. Maybe one day you will really parachute into Cleveland. At that time, I will bring you into the city with great vigor and excitement."

This is the third time James has revealed that he hopes Yuan Qingshan will join the Cavaliers.

Yuan Qingshan sat up all of a sudden, and asked with a smile: "Isn't it, did I really get traded?"
