Thanks to Mr. Pei! Congratulations to Lao Zhan! The 1.5 million signing was a great success, and 17 people hit the championship
The pattern of the wild NBA, the strong and the strong, the strong West and the weak East have a long history, and this season is no exception. Take this season as an example, in the East, the Green Army is dominant, as strong as the Cavaliers, Bucks, Knicks, 76ers, Heat and other teams cannot be compared with the Green Army in terms of roster reserves and stability; The Los Angeles Lakers completed back-to-back Black Seven miracles in the playoffs last season, and they naturally want to take it to the next level this season. But as the season progressed, the Lakers were plagued by injuries and were once again stuck in the play-in tournament, and the world was looking to see how they could save this tumultuous season.
The Lakers are in crisis, and Pee is judging the situation
Back in the run-up to last season's mid-trade deadline, the Lakers were struggling as well. Eventually, Pelinka started the big deal, sending away Willis and bringing in Russell, Van der Biao, Beasley and other pieces of the puzzle. It is no exaggeration to say that the Lakers' big trade saved the originally hopeless season and laid the groundwork for the later completion of the Black Seven Miracle. This season, the Lakers have set sail again, the Zhan Mei combination is still trustworthy, and Reaves, Hachimura, Russell, Vanderbilt and others have also worked hard after re-signing their contracts, but the Lakers' record and ranking are in danger, and they have been on the edge of the play-off zone for a long time and cannot extricate themselves. Even if they win the mid-season tournament, they are still not expected to be contenders for the championship!
As always, when the Lakers fell into a passive situation, they became the Los Angeles Intentional Brigade. On the eve of this year's mid-season trade day, the Lakers were full of rain, Russell, Reaves, Hachimura and others were involved in trade rumors, Murray, Bridges and other stars have become the Lakers' intended people, and even more, the Warriors and 76ers also played the idea of Lao Zhan and dialed Mr. Pei's phone inquiry regardless of the cost. And Pei is worthy of being Jeanie Buss's virtuous helper, judging the situation, watching the changes, and not messing up because of the disturbances from the outside world. However, in the buyout market, Mr. Pei made a quick and steady move, and used $1.5 million to poach Dinwiddie!
Thanks to Mr. Pei, the signing of 1.5 million yuan was a great success
He has the reputation of being a giant, has both scoring explosiveness and organizational attributes, and is tall and will not lag behind on the defensive end! It is no exaggeration to say that Dinwiddie is a perfect piece of the puzzle given by God to the Lakers and Lao Zhan. The Lakers have a forward group built by thick eyebrows + Hachimura + Prince + Reddish + Van der Biao, and the front line has a size advantage. And the biggest shortcoming of the Lakers is that there is no perfect guard on the guard line, Reaves' ability to lead his teammates is mediocre, Russell suffers on the defensive end, Vincent is destroyed by injury, and Lao Zhan is too tired to do it himself. In the face of reality, Mr. Pei's signing is a stroke of genius and has found an optimal solution for the Lakers and Lao Zhan.
In the Lakers' big win over the Pistons, Dinwiddie made his Lakers career debut, he came off the bench for 31 minutes, contributing 6 points + 2 rebounds + 7 assists + 2 steals, and in the Lakers' big win over the Jazz, Dinwiddie came off the bench for 27 minutes, scoring 10 points + 4 assists + 2 steals. Dinwiddie is taller than Reeves and Russell, has a higher level of breakthrough and defense than Russell, and can connect the team more than Reaves, and Dinwiddie's performance in possession is too good. What's even more commendable is that Dinwiddie knows what to do and what not to do when playing for the Lakers and Lao Zhan, which reduces unreasonable brute action and is impressive. At least judging from Dinwiddie's performance after joining the Lakers, the Lakers' 1.5 million signing was a great success.
Congratulations to Lao Zhan, 17 people hit the championship
At present, the Lakers' 17-man squad has been released, as follows: forward line - Lao Zhan + Hachimura + Prince + Wood + Reddish + Van der Biao + Lewis + Winslow (two-way contract); guard line - Russell + Reaves + Dinwiddie + Vincent + Christie + Schifino + Mays (two-way contract); center - thick eyebrows + Hayes. Overall, the Lakers' new roster is more balanced inside and out, with a combination of height and size. The Lakers continue to strengthen their shortcomings on the basis of retaining the core lineup that reached the Western Conference finals last season, and with the return of injured players at the end of the season, they have a good chance to start their own Northern Expedition in the second half of the season, and no one dares to underestimate them!
Since Lao Zhan and Thick Mei joined forces to join the Lakers, the Zhan Mei combination has been the cornerstone of the Lakers' championship. Over the years, Zhan Mei has experienced ups and downs together, both successful and unsuccessful, and the people around him have changed wave after wave, but their belief in winning the championship together has never wavered. The 39-year-old Zhan is getting older and more demonic, and he still has the dream of becoming a champion in his heart, so I sincerely wish him! I hope he can bring the O'Brien Cup back to Los Angeles in the last years of his career! What do you think about this? Leave me a comment to discuss.
