champion heart

Chapter 19 19. Season Ends
Tang De is still soaking in the arena day and night, carrying out high-intensity training every day!

But after all, there is a gap in strength in front of you, and there are many things in this world that cannot be accomplished by hard work alone.

If you want to win the Spurs, there is no other way than strengthening the team!

Tang De's efforts are obvious to all, even the head of the Lakers Kobe Bryant praised him.

Many players who have worked with Kobe said that Kobe is a difficult person to get along with, and he is extremely demanding, even harsh, on his teammates.

But Tang De actually didn't think so. Instead, he thought Kobe was a great teammate.

As long as you are as strict with yourself as he is and train hard, you will be able to get along with him very quickly!
Kobe's harshness is only for lazy people. He only thinks about one thing every day, and that is to win the championship.

And to win the championship must rely on the efforts of everyone in the team, so when he sees lazy teammates, he can't help but reprimand them!
You may say that he has a bad temper, or that he is selfish, but this is his philosophy of life, his philosophy of success!

Tang De's crazy training did not change the trend of the game. The Spurs finally used 5 games to easily eliminate the Lakers.

The only game the Lakers won was at home. With Gasol's 30+12 large double-double and Tang De's strong defense of 15 rebounds and 5 blocks, the Lakers narrowly beat the Spurs by 2 points!
The victory of this game once made the Lakers see hope, but soon the last glimmer of hope was completely shattered...

5场比赛，唐德场均能够拿下21分4助攻8篮板3盖帽的数据，场均命中2记三分。

In terms of shooting percentage, it is also more than [-]%!

In terms of personal performance, Tang De has done well enough, especially on the defensive end!

Apart from Tang De, the best player for the Lakers is Jiasao, who averaged 19 points, 8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game!

……

In this way, the journey of the Lakers this season ends here.

For the Lakers, the 12-13 season was a complete tragedy.

The team has assembled the "Big Four" on the surface, but what is the final result?
Not to mention the championship, they almost didn't even make it to the playoffs. If it weren't for Kobe's desperate carry, the Lakers would have no hope of making it to the playoffs.

The injuries of the "Big Four" are old and old. Strictly speaking, except for Kobe, the others are not "Big Four" at all!
The atmosphere of the team has always been very tense, the team's cohesion is too poor, and the head coach D'Antoni really can't control this lineup!
In fact, the reason why Tang De can play such a good personal performance in this series is not only related to his own efforts, but also a very important reason is that Popovich did not deliberately target him!
Popovich just played the Lakers with the team's conventional style of play. If Popovich deliberately deployed defense against Tang De, Tang De would not be able to hit such statistics with a high probability.

But then again, no matter what, being able to play good data is a skill, this is the eternal truth of the basketball court!
Even if some people try their best to play, he still can't get Tang De's statistics...

Soon, the major awards of this season will be announced one by one at the beginning of the second round of the playoffs!

LeBron James won the regular season MVP again without any suspense. James has won 5 MVP trophies for 4 consecutive years!
Need to say more about Lao Zhan's dominance?

You can ridicule him for reporting to the team, you can also say that he likes to blame his teammates at the last moment of the game, but you absolutely cannot deny his greatness!

If you look through his career statistics, you will find that this guy is a BT, and he has been stable for ten years!

And the best team is a bit interesting, Duncan and Kobe, the two "old men" go hand in hand!
Together with Paul, James, and Durant, they form the strongest 5-man team in the NBA this season!

……

In the end, the 12-13 season ended with the success of the Miami Heat!
The Heat's championship this year is a legendary journey!
After the Lakers were eliminated, one thing Tang De wanted to do the most was to take a good rest for a few days!
He has to take time to adjust his body, and he is too tired during this time.

In addition to sleeping and eating, he spends all his time on training and competitions. No matter how good his physical fitness is, if he doesn't make adjustments, there will be problems.

And when it comes to the offseason, Tang De starts to have a headache!

Everyone else should go on vacation, the bar of the bar, in short, all kinds of fun, but Tang De doesn't have this condition!

In a word, he is too poor!
How poor is his life!
The two-year rookie minimum salary contract he signed with the Lakers expires this summer!

The sum of the two years' salary after tax is less than 100 million. The most important thing is that this 100 million has been almost defeated by the previous guy, so Tang De's pockets are extremely dry now!

That guy doesn't have much salary for a year, but he still dares to be so prodigal. Tang De really doesn't understand who gave him the courage to prodigal!

The reason why Tang De spends every day training in the arena, besides the reason that he really wants to improve his skills, is that he is poor.

Just kidding, who wouldn't want to go out and enjoy the high society life if they had the money.

Tang De is not a saint, he is also an ordinary person, he has all kinds of desires that human beings have, but the conditions do not allow it!

As for the new contract, Tang De is not very worried. The Lakers will definitely keep him in the new season. The only thing that is not certain is that the Lakers are willing to give him a contract for several years and how much they are willing to pay him!

Tang De had to find his own agent to deal with the contract matter. Tang De couldn't handle such a thing like "shrew swearing at the street"!
Tang De's agent is Daniel Cantor, who is currently the only female agent in the NBA.

This is the only thing that Tang De feels gratified about when he crossed over. At least the guy before him left a good manager for himself.

Agents are very important to NBA players. Although they are called "vampires" next to the stars, if a player wants to get a higher salary, he really has to rely on them to fight for it!

Since the salaries of agents are completely linked to their clients, when negotiating with the team management, they will usually unreservedly strive for higher salaries for their clients!

Moreover, when NBA players sign a contract, they must have an agent. Without an agent, in some respects, they cannot enter the NBA at all!

But there is one exception, that is Nowitzki, he does not have an agent, because he does not need an agent at all.

Because of his contract with the Mavericks, Cuban will give him as much as he wants.

The reason why Tang De said that his agent is good is because Cantor also has many NBA star clients, such as Porter, Monroe, Brogdon and others!
Tang De already felt very content to have such an agent, after all, even those big-name agents looked down on Tang De!
Those big-name brokers are all masters with tens of millions of dollars a year, how could they have a crush on a small guy like Tang De!

I don't know how that guy from before hooked up with Cantor...
