NBA: I was the No. 1 pick at the beginning

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Tian returned to the manor, the phone rang again.

After Chen Tian picked it up, he also heard the other end of the phone talking.

"Boss, both fish have been hooked, and the action can start at any time."

Hearing this, Chen Tian was very happy.

"Very good, let people get in touch with Bass Jr., and tell him that he has the remaining shares of the Lakers in his hand, and is willing to cooperate with him to fight against Jenny."

Hearing Chen Tian's words on the other end of the phone, he also said immediately.

"Okay boss, I understand."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

After getting the news, Chen Tian also became happy.

With this news, Chen Tian is one step closer to buying the Lakers.

When Chen Tian returned home, Li Xirui and the others saw his happy expression.

Immediately the three of them also asked.

"What's the matter, husband, that makes you so happy?"

Chen Tian told what happened just now.

Hearing this, Li Xirui and the others were also very happy.

Li Xirui said even more.

"This may be the first time my husband has made such a slow acquisition after he won the fourth Wall Street battle."

Hearing Li Xirui's words, Chen Tian also laughed out loud.

But it was indeed as Li Xirui said, this time it was really slow.

But things backfired, and the development of things still developed in the direction I imagined.

In the evening, Chen Tian and Li Xirui also had a candlelight dinner.

There is no need to express it in words. After all, there must be something to do in this situation.

The next morning, Chen Tian also got up early, after training for a while.

After making breakfast for the three of Li Xirui.

Chen Tian also left the manor and came to the Staples Arena.

After Chen Tian arrived, he happened to see that Kobe had just arrived.

The two went to Johnson's office together.

When I came to Johnson's office, I saw that Johnson, Monty, and Kaleman were already inside.

The three of them also nodded after seeing Chen Tian and Kobe.

Johnson also said at this time.

"Okay, now that you're all here, let me talk about it first, that is the few transactions before and after the All-Star Game."

"The Warriors have strengthened Ray, the Cavaliers have also got Andrew, and now the Rockets and Mavericks have also got Louis and Rajon respectively."

"But we are not without gains. We also successfully signed Yi."

"However, what I want to say is whether our current lineup can go further if we really reach the playoffs."

Hearing Johnson's words, Chen Tian and the others also nodded.

At this time, Chen Tian felt that Johnson was like a general manager.

Kaleman also said at this time.

"I think what we need is to do a good job on defense so that we can go further in the playoffs."

Kaleman's words were also recognized by everyone.

After all, defense wins championships.

But Monty said with a slight frown.

"Defense is indeed important, but we also need to consider the physical health of the players. I suggest that Kobe should not play away games in the following games."

"I just took advantage of this opportunity to ask Seth to play more. I can feel that although this kid is not as good as Stephen, he is also quite good at three-pointers."

"In this way, in the playoffs, we can also have one more combat effectiveness."

Hearing what Monty said, Kobe disagreed a little at first, but after listening to what Monty said.

Kobe also nodded, because he also knew that his body really couldn't support 82 games.

Johnson also said at this time.

"Then we really don't want to reinforce?"

Hearing this, everyone shook their heads.

Monty said the same.

"No need. The current atmosphere of the team is good, or the team's record, etc., are perfect, and it also has the momentum of a championship team, so there is no need for any reinforcements."

Hearing this, Johnson had no choice but to give up.

At this moment, Chen Tian said.

"I think we need to step up our training."

Hearing this, everyone also looked at him.

Chen Tian also continued.

"We don't need to worry about the East, because that can only be met in the finals."

"But here in the west, there are so many strong teams, we can't be careless."

Everyone nodded, also wanting to know what Chen Tian would say next.

"In the west, the Warriors, Rockets, Clippers, Spurs, Grizzlies, Thunder, Trail Blazers, and Mavericks should not be underestimated."

"Since we are not reinforcing, we need to raise everyone's abilities to a higher level."

Monty also said at this time.

"Chen is right, we really need a detailed training plan."

Chen Tian also said at this time.

"It's very simple, don't do anything else in training, just carry out targeted training for individuals."

Both Monty and Kaleman nodded. This idea is good. It seems that the two of us will study it all night.

Hearing this, Kobe, Chen Tian, ​​and Johnson also laughed.

In this way, the first meeting in the second half of the regular season is considered over.

Just when several people were about to leave, Johnson also continued.

"One more thing to tell you, there are some internal conflicts on the Lakers side, but they haven't affected you yet, so don't worry even if they do."

"You just need to play the game well, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

Hearing Johnson's words, Monty and Kaleman didn't change their expressions.

The two went straight back to the coach's office.

Chen Tian and Kobe looked at each other and left the arena together.

After leaving the arena, Kobe also dragged Chen Tian to a coffee shop.

After the two sat down, Kobe looked at Chen Tian and asked.

"The Lakers are like this, you made it?"

Chen Tian nodded without any hesitation.

Seeing Chen Tian nodding, Kobe also said helplessly.

"Chen, isn't this a good timing? You must know that the team is almost in the playoffs."

Chen Tian smiled and said.

"No, precisely because it's the playoffs, the timing is the best."

Hearing what Chen Tian said, what else could Kobe say.

You must know that in business, although Kobe is not bad, but compared with Chen Tian, ​​it is still far behind.

But Chen Tian knew that although Kobe didn't understand now, if he calmed down, he would definitely understand later.

Because of the fight for the playoffs, that was the pinnacle of the battle between Buss Jr. and Jenny Buss.

Although it may affect the team's record, as long as Chen Tian is there, there will be absolutely no problem.

After the two chatted for a while, Chen Tiancai drove back to the manor.

Chen Tian who returned to the manor also received a message from Monty.

Gym training tomorrow.
