NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 226 Team Lineup, Season Goals

After completing the signing of the new team, Su Tian stayed in Los Angeles to train directly.

In order to make Su Tian train more efficiently, Kobe also introduced the trainer.

With the help of professional trainers, Su Tian's ability to dribble and shoot has been further improved.

At the same time, Su Tian also often learns from Kobe, improving his anti-interference ability and increasing his offensive stability.

"Su, let's stop here for today's training. Your weight gain plan should be done slowly, and you can't act too hastily."

"Okay, Jeff."

Su Tian, ​​who was already sweating profusely, sat up slowly and picked up a towel to wipe off his sweat.

In the new season, Su Tian's defensive pressure will definitely increase sharply. In order to better cope with these high-intensity defenses, Su Tian needs to gain weight effectively.

During this period of time, Su Tian has also been carrying out his own weight gain training, effectively improving his strength and confrontation ability without affecting his speed and flexibility.

"Su, take a rest for two days. You have practiced too hard these two days."

"Don't worry, it's okay, but I really need to rest for two days to slow down."

The trainer Jeff nodded, "That's good. Our training will continue in two days. You should relax for the next two days."

After speaking, Jeff went straight home from get off work.

After training, Su Tian also returned to his residence in Los Angeles.

After confirming that he wanted to sign with the Lakers, Su Tian contacted Bill Duffy and bought a property in Los Angeles.

The villa Su Tian bought is in the famous Beverly Hills. Although the Lakers haven't paid their wages yet, Anta's dividends have already arrived, which is enough for Su Tian to buy this villa.

Back home, Su Tian took a shower, lay on the bed and turned on the system after cleaning up.

Reggie Milka only improved the three-point attribute and the mid-range attribute, so during this period of time, Su Tian has been training shooting in addition to the weight gain plan.

The three-pointer has been raised to 90, with only 1 point left, and the mid-range has also been raised to 93, which is still 2 points away.

Seeing the steady growth of attribute value, Su Tian was also very satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, Su Tian picked up his mobile phone to check the recent transactions and signings.

Some time ago, the Lakers also made a deal, taking out D'Angelo Russell and Mozgov in exchange for the Nets' Brock Lopez.

Daluo is still quite capable, especially since he hasn't fully developed the three-point ability yet, and there is still a certain potential to be tapped.

After signing with Su Tian, ​​the management of the Lakers also approached Su Tian to discuss the lineup for the new season.

In fact, the Lakers didn't want Su Tian to participate in the transaction, just to show their respect for Su Tian.

Another thing is to avoid some players who have conflicts with Su Tian. As a result, the management doesn't know how to trade them, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Su Tian didn't intervene too much in the team's signing management work, but just talked about Daluo's problem. After all, Daluo only has the last year of his contract left, so Su Tian still suggested to renew the contract in advance.

Under Su Tian's suggestion, the Lakers decided to renew the contract with Da Luo after consideration. After all, now that the league's centers are dying, Da Luo can be regarded as a serious center.

If you can really develop the three-point ability as Su Tian said, then you will make a lot of money.

At the same time, in the free market, the Lakers also signed Pope of the Pistons to increase outside shooting points.

Su Tian also agrees with this point. Although Pope's ability is not high, he is at least a reliable role player, which is better than nothing.

So far, the Lakers lineup is basically determined.

Guards: Su Tian, ​​Lonzo Ball, Jordan Clarkson, Caruso, Pope.

Forwards: Ingram, Luol Deng, Larry Nance, Kyle Kuzma, Julius Randle

Centers: Brock Lopez, Zubac

These 12 players will be the Lakers' main roster for next season.

In addition to these 12 people, there are some veterans and rookies or marginal people.

For example, veteran "Company Commander" Corey Brewer, rookie Josh Hart, Thomas Bryant, and so on.

These are all numbers, and there should be very few opportunities to play.

And among these players, there is Su Tian's "old acquaintance", his college classmate Randall.

After the news that Su Tian signed with the Lakers was released, Randall received the news and called Su Tian.

In college, Randall was the core of the team, and Su Tian helped Randall.

But now things are different, Randall is just an ordinary starter, and even the starter is not stable.

But Su Tian is the core future determined by the team.

Fortunately, Randall has a good attitude and has no intention of competing with Su Tian, ​​otherwise Su Tian would not show mercy.

As for Ingram and Ball, they are both rookies, so it's easy to handle.

The personalities of these two are not thorny, and the atmosphere in the team should be easier to deal with.

Lonzo Ball is a relatively calm player with a good overall view and defense. He also has three-point ability and is more willing to pass the ball than to attack himself.

Ball's template is Kidd. Although there are some differences, the general style is relatively similar, but the injury problem should be paid attention to.

Ingram is more interesting, and the fight is faster than the fast break.

This is not to say that Ingram does not participate in the offense, or that the offense is not active, but that Ingram has a sense of honor for the collective, and is willing to take the lead when teammates and opponents conflict.

Ingram fights very hard, but his playing style is more or less soft, not the appearance of a master that everyone expects.

So these two people will not pose a threat to Su Tian, ​​but will become Su Tian's help.

Su Tian believed that after he showed enough strength, he didn't need to say anything more, the two of them would play honestly.

What's more, Su Tian is backed by the management, including the current head coach Luke Walton Su Tian has also contacted Su Tian and expressed support for building a team with Su Tian as the core.

As for the starting lineup for the new season, the Lakers have not yet fully decided.

Basically, Lonzo Ball, Su Tian, ​​Ingram, Randall, Brock Lopez.

There may be some small changes in the middle, but in general it is almost the same.

The Lakers in this lineup are relatively tall. Lonzo Ball, like Su Tian, ​​is 1 meters tall, which is considered tall as a guard.

The dust has settled for Su Tian joining the Lakers, but the turmoil in the free market has not completely stopped.

Some teams that did not compete for Su Tian's success began to seize time to strengthen.

Just when the fans were enjoying the signing of the free market, Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving publicly stated that he no longer wanted to play for the Cavaliers and asked the team to trade himself.

Once the news was sent out, it immediately attracted attention.

"Is Owen leaving?"

"Irving was trained by us in Cleveland! He actually wants to abandon us!?"

The Cavaliers lost in the Finals. Su Tian had just announced in a high-profile way that he would join the Los Angeles Lakers, and Irving made trouble again.

"The knights are leaving!"

"Isn't the warrior invincible?"

This year's finals has already explained that the Cavaliers without Su Tian are no match for the Warriors. Now that Su Tian is leaving, Irving is also leaving, and the Cavaliers have completely fallen out of the championship.

The fans of the Cavaliers were very disappointed and scared. They tried everything possible to keep Irving, but Irving made up his mind and insisted that the team trade himself.

In an interview with the media, Owen looked very sad.

"I just want to go to a team that belongs to me. Why can some teams build a team with Su as the core, but I can't?"

Owen's words instantly caused a scolding battle between Owen's fans and Su Tian's fans.

"What kind of thing is Owen, still want to touch our Su Tianshen?"

"Without Sue, Irving would never have won the championship!"

"When the Cavaliers won the championship in the first year, Irving was injured. This year, Su was injured. The Cavaliers failed to win the championship. It is obvious who is higher and who is lower."

"Kayli touches Cisu? It's Su who keeps touching Cikaili! Our Kaili is the champion!"

"Su was the one who ran first. Why are you scolding my Pigeon? Shouldn't you be scolding Su?"

"Su is the traitor, Kaili just grew up and wants to go out and make a living."

"6, Dian! Double standard."

There are many teams interested in Irving in the league, but not many can impress the Cavaliers. Obviously this will be a tug of war.

Since Owen wants to be the boss of a team, he is naturally unwilling to go to a bad team, which excludes another part.

When the soap opera was staged on Owen's side, Su Tian was hurrying to train in Los Angeles.

Every offseason is the time for Su Tian to strengthen himself. This time, he might be able to open a new card during the offseason.

On this day, Su Tian returned to his home after training.

For convenience, Su Tian also prepared a set of training equipment at home, and he can start training at home at any time.

Tomorrow is the day when the Lakers training camp starts, and Su Tian is ready to meet those boys.

The next day, after Su Tian got ready, he drove his Porsche 918 Spyder to the training hall.

The 918 Spyder is not considered a new car. This is a super sports car launched by Porsche in 2013. The price is more than 100 million US dollars, and the domestic price is 1500 million.

Su Tian bought this car not only because of Hao, but also because in the year when Porsche launched this car, Su Tian happened to be working in NCAA and had the honor to see this car.

When he saw this car, Su Tian sighed,
"That's right, man!"

Now that Su Tian is rich, he naturally wants to fulfill his wish back then.

After arriving at the training hall, Su Tian found that someone was already training.

"Hey, Su, long time no see!" Seeing Su Tian coming, Randall hurried forward to hug him.

"Long time no see, Julius." Su Tian also responded with a smile.

It turned out that Randall had come to the arena to start training.

So Su Tian also joined in the training and started some simple shooting training.

After training for a while, people began to enter the arena one after another. Many core players came to the arena. When they saw Su Tianzai, they also took the initiative to say hello.

Su Tian mainly plays shooting guard and point guard, and these core players basically do not compete with Su Tian for positions.

The only ones who can be considered competitive are Lonzo Ball and Jordan Clarkson.

Clarkson's ability is far inferior to Su Tian's, so it's nothing to worry about. Ball's main point guard doesn't have much conflict, let alone a rookie.

Not long after, head coach Luke Walton came to the sidelines and began calling the players for lectures.

"Boys, the new season is about to start. This season we have some new faces, including rookies, veterans, and star players that everyone is familiar with."

"Next, we invite the new core of our team. Su Tianlai will tell you a few words."

Hearing this, everyone began to applaud and welcome. This is the new leader of the head coach, general manager, and team owner. Everyone still has the most basic vision.

"Okay guys, maybe some people don't know me. I'm Su Tian. I'm very happy to fight with you this season. I hope we can cooperate happily this season."

Su Tian finished with a short sentence, without any harsh words or setting goals, because this should not be something to say to the team members.

Luke Wharton also said a few words briefly, and then called Su Tian to the office.

"Su, sit down. How about it? Are you still used to coming to Los Angeles?" Wharton said while beckoning Su Tian to take a seat.

"Fortunately, it's much more prosperous than Cleveland."

"Hahaha, of course, this is Los Angeles."

Immediately afterwards, Luke Walton started to get to the point, "Sue, do you have any ideas for the new season?"

"Of course, at least this season, I want to bring the Lakers into the playoffs." Su Tian said seriously.

"Playoffs! The playoffs are not that simple." Wharton was surprised that Su Tian set the tone so high when he came up.

"Don't worry, Coach Luke, as long as our lineup is healthy, I'm confident that we can do it." Su Tian said with a smile.

Luke Wharton looked at Su Tian and nodded, "Alright Su, I believe in you. I will cooperate well in the new season. We will strive to bring the Lakers into the playoffs."

Luke Walton is still too conservative and doesn't think this team, which was at the bottom of the league last season, can make the playoffs.

You must know that this is the West, and the Western Conference playoffs have always been more difficult than the Eastern Conference.

So Luke Wharton only dared to say "fight".

After the team opened the training camp, Kobe contacted Su Tian and invited him to have dinner at home.

Kobe's move was not only to eat, but also to show the outside world that the Lakers value Su Tian.

Kobe was also afraid that some short-sighted guys would make Su Tian angry, which would make Su Tian unhappy.

In the new season of the Lakers, they didn't even think about the playoffs at all, but wanted to run in first, and then look at the right time to bring an All-Star insider.

The formation of internal and external dual-core directly won the championship.

This is also something the Lakers always liked to do before, and they are already very experienced.

After dinner with Kobe, the two came to the courtyard behind and chatted casually.

"Su, how do you feel about the current Lakers?" Bryant asked.

Su Tian shook his head, "It's not very good, they are all players who haven't fulfilled their potential. If you want to wait for them to grow, it will take a long time."

Kobe nodded, "That's right. Although the potential seems to be limitless, potential is just potential after all. What the Lakers can become depends on you, Su."

Su Tian nodded.
