Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 551 Scene Three

"That's the way it is. In the matter of changing teams, I can fully represent Kevin Durant!"

The magician nodded: "He really found an excellent agent."

The other party also couldn't hear whether the magician's words were from the heart or ridiculed.

Anyway, who cares, the Lakers beat the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers are the better team, so Kevin Durant should spend the next year in Los Angeles, so that he can be closer to the championship.

And, more importantly, who wouldn't want to come to a big city like Los Angeles or New York if given the chance?
If Kevin Durant joins the Lakers, he is guaranteed to increase his worth by five or six times!
The agent came out of his imagination and asked urgently: "Mr. Erwin, I hope you can facilitate this matter, okay? This is a win-win situation for both of us!"

The magician was silent. If it was a month ago, he would agree to the other party without hesitation. After all, it is the dream of all basketball managers to recruit people of historical level like Kevin Durant into the team.

But it is different now, the reason is that the Lakers are different, Jenny Buss is willing to accept Durant, but the price is to send away the existing main players in the team.

That is to say: The price of Durant coming to the Lakers is to break up the Lakers.

The price is too high!
"Mr. Erwin?" The agent noticed his absence and reminded him: "You haven't answered my question yet."

The magician shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too tired today, I've already understood your thoughts, can we talk about it another day?"

The agent got up: "Okay, but let me correct you, it's not my idea, but my common idea with Kevin."

Well, whatever!
After sending off the visitors, Magic Johnson lay down on the big sofa and thought about it. He thought Kevin Durant was an opportunity he couldn't miss, but how to sign Durant while ensuring his ability to win the championship?

Give Yuan Qingshan a top salary, and then send Whiteside and Murray away, or don't sign Yuan Qingshan and let him go in vain?
The magician quickly shook his head to get rid of his unrealistic idea. The reason why the Lakers are today depends on Yuan Qingshan. It is really stupid to let him leave for nothing.

The magician lost sleep that night. For the first time, he felt that running a team was far more difficult than leading it to a championship as a player.

The most important thing is that Jenny Buss is now a lunatic, crazier than little Buss.

6 month 9 day.

The third game of the finals arrived as scheduled.

This is the home court of the Lakers, and the fans pouring in from all directions are going to overwhelm Los Angeles. The last time this scene seemed to be an OK combination, even the yellow-green battle was not so grand.

The guest commentators for this game are Mark Jackson, Van Gundy and the glove Payton who served in the Lakers.

As for O'Neill and Barkley, they were sitting in the east and west of the first row of the auditorium.

Mark Jackson: "Jeff, I haven't partnered with you for a long time, what have you been up to lately?"

Van Gundy: "I accepted the invitation of the University of Washington to be their head coach."

Mark Jackson was slightly surprised: "Dude, why don't you go back to the NBA, you know there are many teams that need you."

Van Gundy shook his head: "No, Mark, times have changed. The modern basketball that people talk about is too different from our era. I am old and tired."

Mark Jackson: "Yeah, the kids now only know how to shoot three-pointers, they don't defend at all. I think the game will simply be changed to a three-pointer contest in the future."

After finishing speaking, he and Payton smiled at each other. They are both Hall of Fame point guards, and they are both good at defense. It stands to reason that they are incompatible with the concept of modern basketball.

Van Gundy: "Okay, don't blame yourself, the game has started, let's see who can win tonight."

Amid cheers, the game started with a jump ball.

Whiteside defeated Tristan Thompson, the Lakers got the ball, and the home fans were excited.

With the ball in Yuan Qingshan's hands, he chose to advance slowly to slow down the rhythm and feel the aura of the Cavaliers by the way.

but.

No matter how the knight's temperament changes, Kyrie Irving's hostility towards Yuan Qingshan will not change.

As soon as Owen came up, he aimed at Yuan Qingshan with the posture of "I will never allow you to show any performance".

Coach Wharton began to have a headache. If Yuan Qingshan was restrained by the opponent, the Lakers team would lose half of it.

Although Paul George is also capable of leading the team, but he is facing LeBron James, you can't ask him to do more.

Regarding his own situation, Yuan Qingshan felt very good on the contrary, because such an emotional move by Irving could only hurt the Cavaliers.

Irving is not a player who is good at physical fitness and toughness. He fights like this as soon as he comes up, and he will run out of energy after a quarter.

At that time, the Cavaliers will cut off their own arm!
So Yuan Qingshan whispered a few words with Paul George and Murray, and then kept attacking Irving's defense in the next round. The more Irving fought, the more angry he became, the more desperate he was to defend Yuan Qingshan.

At this time, Yuan Qingshan is not weaker than Westbrook, Lillard or Chris Paul on the offensive end, so Irving is under great pressure.

The assistant coach Drew of the Cavaliers reminded Tyronn Lue: "Coach Lu, Kyrie is not in the right state. He is struggling with the core players on the opposite side. You know, his physical fitness has not been very good."

Tyronn Lue: "Physical fitness? You mean he should rest?"

Assistant coach Drew nodded quickly: "I suggest adjusting it."

Tyronn Lue: "Okay, change, who is that, you go and replace LeBron, he is tired and must rest!"

Teaching Assistant Drew: "?"

In the commentary seat, Mark Jackson said: "The more critical the moment, the more amazing Tyronn Lue's tactics are. He even replaced LeBron, just halfway through the first quarter."

Van Gundy: "Protecting LeBron from injury and saving LeBron's physical fitness is the only pursuit of the Cavaliers this season."

The Cavaliers' active change gave the Lakers a chance.

Yuan Qingshan and Paul George were fully fired from the outside, and the Cavaliers relied on Irving to score 5 points in a row to bite the score.

After LeBron left the court, the Cavaliers' defensive strength was a level weaker than the Lakers. Whether it was outside or inside, their defense seemed to be a chain that lacked the most critical section in the middle, which could not form a threat.

Irving played with vigor, Bill tried to cooperate with him and created opportunities for him, and in terms of rebounding, Whiteside was ahead of Tristan Thompson.

At the end of the first quarter, Yuan Qingshan frequently passed the ball to Towns. Towns fulfilled his mission and hit two consecutive three-pointers. The Lakers established the lead. After the first quarter, the Lakers led the Cavaliers by 33 points 25 to 8.

The Lakers took advantage of the opportunity of the Cavaliers to put all the main players on the field to play an advantage, but the main players played too long and became a hidden danger.

Yuan Qingshan, Murray, Paul George and Towns all played 10 minutes, and only Whiteside rested for 2 minutes.
