Chapter 190 Preseason

With the passage of time, the NBA's new season training camp has begun.Wu Di took Chu Xue back to Los Angeles and participated in the Lakers' training camp. Because they won the championship, the Lakers' lineup did not make too many adjustments.

It is still the 13 people of last season, Bynum, Pekovic, Bobby Jackson, Gasol, Brad Miller, Wu Di, Sun Yue, Luke Walton, Kobe, Ariza, Vujacic, Fei Scheer, Farmer.

The salary of the Lakers has increased a lot this season, reaching as high as 9000 million, temporarily ranking first in the league.This is because Wu Di and Pekovic Lakers Sun Yue are still in their rookie season, otherwise the Lakers' salary can directly exceed [-] million.

The Lakers management is also looking for suitable trading partners, and some contracts in the team have some extravagance.For example, Vujacic and Ariza are both on the verge of rotation, but their combined salary is as high as 900 million, which is indeed extravagant.

And this season, there are still people who want to join the Lakers, and that is Artest.Artest has been obsessed with Megan Fox since March, and he wants to play with the Lakers in order to get close to the water and win Megan Fox's love.

But the Lakers really don't have his position now. There are Wu Di and Sun Yue in the third position. Artest is still a little weak in the fourth position. Even if he comes, the Lakers still have Gasol and Brad Miller , Signing Artest is a waste, even if Artest cuts his salary to join, it is a waste.

And the Lakers don't have the privilege to sign Artest again, they can only let him sign first and then change, but if Artest signs the Rockets, based on the relationship between the Rockets and the Lakers, the two sides will definitely not be able to agree.

Therefore, Artest can only continue to sign the Rockets, and there is no need to cut salary.This year, the Rockets have a lot of salary space. After getting rid of Tracy McGrady's big contract and Yao's reimbursement for the season, the Rockets saved more than 3000 million in salary space and gave Artest a 4-year 4000 million contract.

The reason why it is 4 million in 4000 years is because Artest is already very old, maybe when it will decline.So he can only get a mid-level contract, which is less than last season.After 4 years, he can basically get a basic salary, and he may not even be able to play the ball.

After the opening of the training camp, the players have undergone restorative training.On October 10, the Lakers ushered in their first preseason game, playing the Warriors.

The Warriors gave Stephen Curry everyone. Although they didn't let Curry start, they gave Curry the status of the sixth man.It was the first time for Wu Di to see Curry play. Although Curry is thin, he has outstanding offensive ability.

Especially for his three-pointers, Curry uses women's shots. The shooting point is very low, but the shooting speed is very fast. In addition, he is good at running and the speed is also very fast. Often players have already shot without getting close to him.

Wu Di couldn't help being interesting and dignified. Curry's style of play made it difficult for the Lakers to defend.The Lakers' two point guards, Fisher's slow speed and Farmar's poor defense, have little to do with Curry.

Now that there are more and more fast players, it seems that the NBA's playing style will also change. If the Lakers can't follow suit, they will be eliminated by the times sooner or later.

However, it is not so easy for the Lakers to transform. People like Bynum and Gasol can’t get up to speed at all. Unless one is traded away, only one big center is retained, and then a fast power forward is selected. speed.

The Lakers and Warriors will play two consecutive games, all of which are the Lakers' home games.Fortunately, the preseason is for the main players to find their status, and the role players are responsible.

The Big Three of the Lakers didn't play for too long, and Zen Master asked Pekovic, Sun Yue, Ariza and others to play more, because after the regular season, they didn't have so much time to play more.

Warriors in two battles, one win and one loss.In the second game, Curry and Monta Ellis broke out. They broke through the inside in a row and caused a lot of fouls. Bynum made six fouls, Gasol five, Pekovic five, Brad Miller three times.

In the two games, a big win and a big loss made many people feel that the Lakers' lineup has not recovered, otherwise such a situation would not happen.

But this is not a problem with the Lakers at all, but a problem with the Warriors.The Warriors have too many nerve knives now, and Monta Ellis is an extremely unstable player. As long as his breakthrough works, he is a super scorer.But if his drive doesn't work, it's going to be hard for him to score.

Next, the Lakers won small wins all the way, winning the Kings on the 16th, the Hornets on the 18th, and the Clippers on the 19th. On the 21st, the Lakers played against the Warriors again. They played the Warriors three times in one preseason. How much hatred does this have with the Warriors?

After continuing to beat the Warriors, they played against the Nuggets in two back-to-back games on the 23rd and 24th.

The Nuggets lineup has not changed much this season, and the new double guns continue to lead the Nuggets.

In the game on the 23rd, Zen Master regarded it as a preview of the regular season.You must know that the Nuggets were the top few last season, and they are one of the few teams that can pose a threat to the Lakers.

So Zen master played very seriously in the first game. Wu Di restricted Anthony and Fisher defended Billups.Although Billups is more powerful than Fisher, the gap between the two is not obvious. Fisher can't defend those fast point guards, but he can still defend those with strong defensive strength.

Anthony and Billups were limited, and the Lakers easily defeated the Nuggets.

In the second round of back-to-back, Zen master didn't let the main force play for a long time because he was afraid of consuming too much physical strength of the main force.But the Nuggets didn't. Anthony and Billups played for a long time, both reaching 10 minutes, so the Lakers lost the game.

Wu Di actually wanted to play, but was persuaded by Zen Master.Zen Master has experience in leading three dynasties. He told Wu Di that if the Lakers want to defend their title, what they want is not to win every game, but to avoid injuries. As long as they can guarantee all players in the playoffs, basically there will be no major accidents , because the Lakers lineup is there!
Wu Di didn't force it either. Although he really wanted to accumulate victories, he was not in a hurry.Anyway, this season will definitely be upgraded again to be able to upgrade the legendary Lu Bu, there is no need to fight for this one.

In this way, the Lakers had 6 wins and 2 losses in the preseason.

The first game of the regular season will be played on the 28th, so the Lakers have a few days to spare, and Wu Di will soon get his first championship ring.

For this championship ring, Nikki specially held a small party, and brought all of Wu Di's friends in Los Angeles, and made Wu Di spend an extremely ridiculous night.

After the absurdity of the night, Megan Fox saw clearly that Wu Di did not belong to her alone, and Megan planned to retreat.
