Dominate the basketball world, starting from the skyhook skill

Chapter 315: Surrender on the last day before the start of the new season

The two teams have major differences regarding the trading chips for Ingram.

According to Pelinka, except for Kevin Li and thick eyebrows, you can choose the others as you like.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of the Pelicans management, the person they want most is none other than the best rookie, Kevin Li!
Now the two teams can't come to an agreement, and Li Kaiwen is now the lifeblood of the entire Lakers.

The Pelicans have given you their lifeblood, so the Lakers might as well go directly to the WNBA next season.

Until the preseason was about to start, an insider reportedly released news that negotiations between the Lakers and Pelicans were on hold.
"The two sides have huge differences. Pelicans president of basketball operations David Griffin said that even if they lose Ingram for nothing after next season, they will not sell the All-Star forward at a low price."

As soon as this news came out, the entire NBA, except the Lakers, went into a frenzy.

The Lakers went to great lengths to trade for Ingram and did not prepare a plan B for themselves all summer.

As a result, the chicken is flying and the egg is flying, and the bamboo basket is empty. When they look back, there are no big fish in the market for them to chase!

Even Li Kaiwen was furious in the arena after seeing the news on social networks.

He can fight, but when it comes to the trading market, it's useless to know how to fight.

When you come out to hang out, you need to focus on strength and chips. Every time the Lakers have a random dream of exchanging small change for big bills, they will naturally be woken up one day.

After learning the news, the managers of other teams were also secretly rejoicing.

Seeing that the Lakers failed to rob Ingram, everyone wanted to sing "Good Luck".

The Lakers' practice of robbing other people's mature stars has always made other teams very dissatisfied.

The Lakers' image over the years is like a spirited young man with yellow hair riding a will-o'-the-wisp.

It is not easy for people in a small ball market to spend many years to select a potential rookie, and then carefully train him to become a talent.

It's like getting a beautiful and sensible daughter and finally raising her to adulthood.
As a result, your "Didi" speaker was abducted by someone downstairs.

Who would it be, who wouldn’t go crazy?

So this time everyone was very happy to see the Lakers wasting an entire summer and getting nothing.

I never thought you Lakers would be where you are today!
Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have two stinky money and a stinky football market!

The Pelicans management had the backbone to not succumb to Ingram's coercion and exercised its due rights.

It is worth learning from other teams!

Now, without Ingram coming to form the Big Three, everyone has to see how the Lakers, with a lineup that has almost no upgrades, can break through the Nuggets' blockade and compete for the championship.

Jokic also breathed a sigh of relief. Okay, now he is completely relieved.

If Li Kaiwen and thick eyebrows can reach the tiebreaker with them, and give them Ingram, then the Nuggets really dare not say that they can beat this Lakers.

Next season, we can still launch an attack on the dynasty of three consecutive championships!

In the West, the Nuggets will never be slaves!
In the past few days, various basketball commentators have been mocking the Lakers on TikTok and podcasts.

"The Lakers still want to use the old method to create glory, get rid of it, and first learn how to get rid of path dependence."

"I wonder how long it will take Pelinka to understand that no one will let players go for nothing just because of a few threats during the contract period."

"Everyone has seen through it. As long as they are not given the opportunity to rob the stars, they will not be able to achieve results at all. After all, everyone knows that they will not train rookies!"

"What, Kevin Li? Kevin Li is a genius. Do you understand genius? Can genius be cultivated?"

"No dogs will watch the Lakers games next season!"

"Now I really want to know how Pelinka feels and how Kevin Li feels. Not being able to spend the money they have is even more uncomfortable than having no money to spend!"

"It's been a waste of a summer, and there are no high-ranking draft picks to reinforce it. I think Kevin Li will leave as soon as his rookie contract ends. Those who steal people will always grab them!" The latest headlines on the espn website included a burst of Pelinka. A photo of me holding my forehead in thought.

The title is: "The Lakers were tricked by the Pelicans!"

There was a lot of fuss and high-profile talks for more than two months, but nothing was obtained, which made the Lakers completely become a laughing stock.

Seeing that Ingram had no hope, Li Kevin did not complain too much to Pelinka and others.

After all, if all the main players are washed away in order to get Ingram, this would be unacceptable to Li Kevin.

Moreover, getting Ingram does not guarantee that the Lakers will win the championship next season. If the team's future is overdrawn and the current affairs are overdrawn, Li Kaiwen will not do it.

He is not King.

Li Kaiwen still devoted all his energy to training. After all, there was no external helper and he had to rely on himself for everything.

The next afternoon, Kevin Li and Tim were doing targeted training when Ham suddenly walked in with a tall, thin young man wearing a hoodie and a mask.

After Li Kaiwen heard Ham's call, he looked at the bald head coach, whom he hadn't seen for almost a month, with confusion.

This is a rare visitor.

"What, what happened Darwin?"

"There is good news and bad news, which one do you hear first?"

Ham's face showed no expression;
"Hear the bad news first, it will be bitter first and then sweet."

"Rui Hachimura and Rivers are gone!"

"What, nothing! What's going on? Was there a car accident or was he shot? Damn it!"

Li Kaiwen was shocked when he heard this. He immediately dropped the basketball in his hand and ran to Ham out of breath.

"What the hell! It's not that the people are gone, it's that Pelinka just made a deal and they were sent away!"

"what?"

"Don't be anxious yet, just listen to what I have to say."

"The bad news is that the two top rotations of our team were traded away, and we also exchanged a first-round pick and a first-round pick. The loss is not small."

"The good news is, we got David Griffin, and now Brandon Ingram is our guy!"

"what?"

Li Kaiwen's jaw dropped to the ground, and his brain was shut down.

At this moment, the young man next to Ham pulled off his hat and mask,

It is the absolute newsmaker in the past two months, the new Lakers player that Ham calls - Brandon Ingram!

Almost a second before their meeting, the entire American sports world was shocked by an explosive news.

They were still criticizing the Lakers' operations yesterday and gloating about their misfortune.

As a result, I got a slap in the face today!

The original mocking voice did not disappear, but the object of ridicule changed from the Lakers to the Pelicans!

They really can't figure out why the Pelicans, who have always stated that they will fight to the end, gave in on the last day before the start of the new season!
