Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 550 Suffocating Operations

In the third game of the finals, the Lakers waited for the visit of the Cleveland Cavaliers in Los Angeles.

Most of the players are relatively silent these days. After all, they had a chance to win the second game, but they just lost the game.

The loss of this game cannot be described as inexplicable. If you have to find a word, it should be powerless.

In the words of the media: in the second game of the finals, who is the strong team and who is the fake strong team, finally saw the difference.

Pseudo-strong team?
"Will it be a pseudo-strong team that can step on the corpse of the Golden State Warriors and appear in the Quicken Loans Center? Look at what these reporters say about us!"

Channing Frye and Nick Young were furious. They swore that they would never give interviews to that media again in their lifetime.

After the group training on the third day after the game, Walton called the players together for a short meeting, basically asking everyone not to pay attention to those boring media, turn off their social media, do not contact reporters, and prepare for the rest of the game.

However, the reports about the finals were pouring into the Staples Center one after another like snowflakes. Even the old man selling hot dogs on the street corner would look at the Lakers players with strange eyes.

"Peter, do you have something to say? We are old friends." The assistant coach Jack took the hot dog from the old man's hand, and the super-large ketchup, and performed routine operations.

The old man called Pete looked at Jack with wrinkled eyelids and said, "We're going to win, aren't we?"

Jack took a hard bite of the hot dog in his hand. It was sour and spicy: "Put your heart in your stomach. If you bet on the ball, go and buy more Lakers. When has Los Angeles let you down?"

Pete flicked his arm and pointed to his dilapidated hot dog cart, which meant to say: Look, this is all I have in Los Angeles.

The sound of an engine came from the street, and the Lakers bus came back. Jack quickly took a few more bites, and then hurriedly walked to the arena.

"Really, Pete, bet everything you have on the Lakers."

Jack said without looking back.

"Okay, the Lakers championship!" Pete said, shaking his arms as he watched the players get off the bus.

The training in the past few days has been somewhat dull. An invisible pressure pervades the No. [-] training hall. Even if the air conditioner is turned on all night, it cannot replace the depressive factors in the air.

The destructive force that LeBron James and Kyrie Irving erupted at the same time was too powerful. The Lakers players knew that not only them, but even the Rockets, Thunder, and even the Warriors had no hope of winning against the Cavaliers in the previous game.

"I'm fed up, I said you can't be a little more energetic, huh? Nick, Hassan, and Jamal!" Channing Frye yelled, throwing the towel on the ground.

Nick Young stopped, panting heavily with his hands on his knees, he tilted his head to look at Whiteside and Murray, wanting to hear what they had to say.

Towns caught up from behind: "What's the matter, is there any problem, hey, you guys hurry up, that guy LeBron is coming in three days."

"Spirit, I mean they lost it!" Channing Frye said.

Nick Young muttered: "Who said that, even if ten LeBrons come, I won't be afraid."

"Then you should have guarded against him in the last game. After Paul left the court, LeBron's firepower has been raised several levels, especially when you are playing against him."

Channing Frye was relentless.

"Okay, that's enough, I think we need to have a good talk."

There was disharmony in the team, Yuan Qingshan, as the boss, immediately stopped it, then turned and walked towards the stairs.

In Hall [-], when you need to hold a small meeting, you usually go to the small meeting room on the second floor.

Nick Young, Channing Frye, Hassan Whiteside, Jamal Murray and Towns all followed.

Paul George glanced this way, then went on to shoot a three-pointer.

He is the only one on the entire Lakers team who knows that this is the consequence of going against LeBron James.

He called this "LeBron's aftermath". How many people in the East have been defeated by LeBron's self-confidence.

The meeting didn't last long. Channing Frye and the others were just depressed and needed to find a vent. Once the words were spoken, there would be no negative impact.

After the training, Yuan Qingshan invites everyone to a steak restaurant in the city center for dinner, which will end around 7 o'clock.

Yuan Qingshan did not return to Zijin Villa immediately, but drove to Manhattan Beach.

This is his paradise, as long as he has troubles, he will come here.

At 10 o'clock, Yuan Qingshan stepped on the accelerator and left the beach. He decided to spend tonight in Beverly Hills.

Scarlett Johansson was pleasantly surprised by his late-night visit. They didn't do anything that night, and the two snuggled up on the sofa and chatted almost all night.

Two figures that can make people all over the world envy to the extreme, cuddling together alone, fans and movie fans probably can't imagine such a scene.

Platonic love?

Yuan Qingshan did not return to the city center until noon the next day, and there was still one day before the third match.

According to team officials, the Cleveland natives have already flown to Los Angeles ahead of schedule.

Rachel, as a team reporter for the Cavaliers, also rushed over from Cleveland.

Instead of disturbing Yuan Qingshan, she reported to the Los Angeles branch, planning to go directly to the Staples Center on the day of the game on June 6.

The team's training and mobilization are proceeding in an orderly manner, and the management is not idle.

Jenny Buss's trading idea is also proceeding in an orderly manner. She released the news among the team owners that the Lakers Supermarket opened immediately after the finals.

Breathtaking operation!
But no boss reminded Jenny Buss that everyone hopes to get some benefits from the Lakers.

As high as Yuan Qingshan, Towns, as low as Jeff Green, Korver, in short, as long as it is good for you, it is rare to play in the finals yesterday and rebuild the next day. Opportunities are rare. Anyone who doesn’t kill the Lakers is a fool!

Los Angeles, The Magician's Villa.

"Mr. Erwin, I heard that you haven't smoked much recently." Durant's agent sat opposite the magician, on a reddish-brown sofa.

The magician took a sharp puff on his cigar: "Tell me, why am I here so late?"

The agent was surprised: "Shouldn't we talk about Kevin?"

The magician joked: "We haven't won the championship yet, is it attractive to Kevin Durant?"

Agent: "Of course, from the moment you eliminated the Warriors, you were already within my hunting range."

Magician: "So, is it your idea or Kevin Durant's own idea to change a team in the summer?"

The agent thought for a while and said: "Let me put it this way, pursuing the championship is Kevin's idea, and helping him maximize his benefits is my idea. Although there is a slight difference, Kevin and I have the same goal."

"Oh." The magician responded, and then waited for him to continue.
