The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 452, I'm here to solve the problem.

The characteristic of the Lakers lineup last season was that the core structure was very luxurious, but the shortcomings were obvious.

In the starting lineup, Fisher's defensive pace was too slow, allowing the Lakers to open the defensive door. He was blasted into scum by Li Senlin and Westbrook.

Substitutes Farmar, Walton, and Vujacic are useless, and the main force is seriously overdrawn.

相比可帮助进攻篮板、总篮板排进前3，场均可贡献33分的豪华内线，湖人外线射手们却只交出了倒数第8的34.1%的3分球命中率。

So much so that in the playoffs, the Lakers couldn't respond internally and externally, and they were plotted repeatedly, and finally were wiped out by the very targeted Thunder, and Kobe also tore his Achilles tendon because of this.

The Lakers' reinforcements this summer are extremely targeted.

Blake is mature, stable and accurate, with a career 39.3% of three-pointers. It happens to be the most suitable supplement after Fisher left. In addition, Blake showed the ability to quickly adapt to the Lakers system after the start of the training camp. .

In Bryant's words: Blake is a high IQ player, he has no problems.

Of course, Barnes, who has always appeared as a gangster on the bench, also performed very well in training.

Barnes, who averaged 8.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game last season, will undoubtedly rejuvenate the Lakers' bench.

Despite his troubles off the court, he was a solid role player on the court.

Although Ratliff is 37 years old, his outstanding professional ethics, concentration on the game, and iron-blooded will to fight injuries all the year round will bring great help to the Lakers.

The two rookies Ebanks and Karakort shine in the summer league and are already considered to be the treasures picked in the second round.

The two, one inside and one outside, will provide the team with more choices.

In addition, the Lakers renewed Brown as the third guard, plus the last insurance on the outside.

Overall evaluation, after a few operations this summer, the Lakers lineup is more reasonable and balanced, the strength of the bench has been enhanced, and the weak three-point shooting has been improved to a certain extent.

Of course, the most important thing is that the arrival of Li Senlin can help the Lakers survive the crisis of Kobe's absence.

The afternoon of the game.

Li Senlin walked into the interview hall wearing a white shirt of the endorsement brand, paired with jeans and sunglasses.

Several unfamiliar teammates wearing Lakers uniforms passing by greeted Li Senlin.

This is the first time Li Senlin has appeared at the Staples Center as a Lakers player.

A few rookie players couldn't figure out the character of Li Senlin, the boss, and slipped away after saying hello.

The media interview hall of the Lakers is more than three times larger than that of the Thunder, and the number of media is even more numerous.

The reporters are already full, but many media are still excluded. Li Senlin has received many requests for help from the Chinese media.

As soon as Li Senlin appeared, reporters swarmed in, and Li Senlin was surrounded almost in an instant.

The Lakers' public relations manager hurriedly called someone to maintain order.

Controlled the noisy situation a little.

The reporter asked: "Li, you have taken on so many commercial activities this summer, can you guarantee your status?"

The Los Angeles media are not good at it. Li Senlin raised his eyebrows: "I have never slackened in training. As for the state, I will wait to see the performance on the field."

The reporter asked: "The atmosphere in the locker room of the Lakers is very tense. Artest has conflicts with Odom, and some players are also dissatisfied with the trade of the leader of the locker room, Fisher. They secretly do not welcome your arrival. What will you do without Kobe? To deal with such a chaotic locker room situation?"

The questions from the Los Angeles media became more and more vigorous.

Li Senlin frowned, he was still unclear about the situation in the locker room.

Li Senlin glanced sideways at the reporter: "I only care about how to win the victory. It is strange that there are no conflicts after losing 8 games in a row. As long as we win and continue to win consecutively, the problem will be solved."

The reporter continued to ask: "Then what is your goal for this season?"

Li Senlin replied without hesitation: "Win the championship."

The reporter said disdainfully: "How do you lead the team to win the championship without Zen Master, Kobe Bryant, and Bynum?"

Li Senlin: "Just watch it obediently. Now it's the small ball era. Don't you understand the tactics of Miami and the Thunder? Did the triangle offense and the traditional center help the Lakers win the championship last season?"

Li Senlin despised these blind reporters.

…………

The whole interview process was not pleasant.

After the Los Angeles media spent the honeymoon period when the FMVP came over from the initial trade, they began to make trouble for Li Senlin.

Li Senlin stepped into the locker room quickly.

As soon as he entered the locker room, he felt a different atmosphere from the noisy and energetic atmosphere of Thunder's locker room.

It's quiet here, a little depressing.

Artest chatted with Barnes in the corner, while Odom and Ebanks sat on the other side sorting out their sneakers.

Vujacic and Brown were sorting out the closet, and there were a few teammates who had no impression of Li Senlin chatting.

Seeing Li Senlin coming in, these people just raised their heads and nodded to Li Senlin, meaning to say hello.

Artest very much Odom's impression of Li Senlin is not very good.

Of course, Li Senlin doesn't care much about what they think of him.

Everyone is here to play, if they can't win, either they get out, or Li Senlin gets out, it's that simple.

"Welcome, Lee."

Gasol saw Li Senlin and immediately greeted him.

Li Senlin nodded.

"Boss, you are finally back, haha."

Green smiled and ran over to give Li Senlin a hug.

Li Senlin patted Green's chest.

Signaling to ask him something, Green responded smartly.

The two walked towards the toilet.

Li Senlin chatted with Green for a long time, and he got the information he wanted.

Li Senlin was worried at first that Artest was causing trouble, but unexpectedly, according to Green's description, "The Beast" has always been very good, but Gasol, who should have been better, and Kobe sparked a "spark".

The undercurrent in the Lakers locker room has long existed.

It's not Li Senlin's problem.

Before Kobe was injured, it was not peaceful here. Gasol complained that Kobe was too lonely in the playoffs.

And after the Lakers lost in the Western Conference finals last season, coach Jackson named and criticized Kobe, Gasol, Odom and other main players, thinking that they did not contribute to the team in the way they should.

The American media even fanned the flames, believing that one of the important reasons why it was difficult for the Lakers to defend their title last season was that some players with championship rings on the team showed a sense of slack. , Odom.

After Li Senlin learned about it, he realized that he underestimated the complexity of the Lakers locker room problem.

A wry smile appeared on his face.

kobe.

You just threw me a mess.

You can't handle this locker room by yourself.

Gasol is not as weak as he looks on the surface, and his smiling face to Li Senlin is by no means that simple.

On the contrary, it is meaningful.

Warm up is over!

Before the start of the game.

Bread Brown appeared.

Under his leadership, everyone stood up and applauded Li Senlin.

As for who is sincere and who is coping, Li Senlin doesn't care.

Li Senlin did not participate in the training camp and preseason, and many new players are very curious about him.

Today's Lakers opener opponent.

Los Angeles Clippers!
