NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

James knows very well in his heart that if he is replaced at this point in time, Chang Tiancheng will probably not have a chance to play again after that.

In other words, he has just completed the last game of his Lakers career, and if he wants to play with Chang Tiancheng again in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve.

"Hey, Chang. James walked up to Chang Tiancheng and whispered, "You should have my phone number."

Chang Tiancheng nodded.

When he first came to the Lakers, as an Oriental, he didn't have any acquaintances in the United States, and it was James who first gave him his contact information and showed him care.

Since then, the two have often exchanged some basketball tips through text messages. After learning that Chang Tiancheng was injured, James also did not hesitate to share his experience in body management over the years.

"Chang, no matter which team you go to in the future, I hope we can keep in touch, okay?" James said.

"Of course, LeBron. I'll get back to you. Chang Tiancheng smiled, and by the way, he pulled a towel from the caddie next to him and draped it on his head, "Seriously, the intensity of today's game is really not small, I'm a little tired."

"Haha, you'll get used to it. James also came to Chang Tiancheng and sat down, "Welcome to the NBA, boy." It's a little late, but I think you're going to stay in the league for the rest of the day, right? You know, you belong here.

"I will, LeBron. Chang Tiancheng stretched out his palm and slowly squeezed it, "I will prove it." In

the rest of the fourth quarter, as LeBron expected, Chang Tiancheng did not get another chance to play.

In the end, Chang Tiancheng ended his first and last game with the Lakers with 11 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists.

This appearance should be regarded as a very successful appearance for Chang Tiancheng.

Although he didn't cut the explosive stats, he came on when the scores of the two teams were scorched, and it took only a few minutes to lead the team to establish the lead. Not to mention the audience, just the NBA coaches who need to watch the video afterwards already know how much influence this rookie from the East has brought to the court.

After all, when it comes to measuring a person's performance on the field, data is often the most useless thing.

The score was only 11 points, but the shooting rate was 100 percent, except for a fast-break dunk after a steal, the remaining three shots were all three-point shots, and even included a LogoShot, which alone was enough to make most coaches covetous. Judging from the heat map, his shots are either under the basket or outside the three-point line, and the main focus is on high efficiency.

At the same time, he delivered 5 assists in a short period of time, which shows that Chang Tiancheng has a strong ability to control the field and is very good at mobilizing teammates.

What's more, he is not only excellent with the ball in his hands, even without the ball, he can also help his teammates better find their offensive position through calm command, which means that he is capable enough to partner with another All-Star level guard, and not like other young rookies who do the ball and need to always be tactically designed around him to play well.

Judging from this game, the only weakness seems to be that the defensive ability is limited by physical conditions, which seems to be a little unacceptable, but he is still able to hide his defensive weaknesses through clever tactical arrangements. This shows that he is a very thoughtful player who can analyze the opponent's offensive strategy in time on the field and target it.

Taken together, these conditions make up the image of a coach's favorite point guard. Whether it's a championship puzzle piece or the core of a team, it's an excellent choice.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Chang Tiancheng can always maintain such a performance.

It can be said that Chang Tiancheng's appearance in the past few minutes has left a very deep impression on him in the hearts of NBA coaches.

The next morning, Spurs head coach Popovich touched his gray beard while touching the video of the game, and said to the uniform team members next to him: "This Oriental kid is very good." But I heard that the Lakers are going to trade him?"

The assistant coach next to him immediately replied: "Yes, according to our investigation, after this Chang Tiancheng was drafted, he only played two games in the summer league, and he suffered a meniscus injury in the second game, and has been recovering from the injury since then. "

Well, the yellow, the small guard, and he's had a lot of injuries, so it's no wonder the Lakers wanted to trade him. Popovich nodded, "Is there a way we can get him here?" "

Coach, you have to think it through." The assistant coach clearly didn't agree with Popovich's idea, "Do we need to put resources into him? Maybe he was short-lived last night?" "

Man, he's just a rookie, and he's going to be traded." Popovich patted the assistant coach on the shoulder, "How much do we have to pay to get him?"

After hearing Popovich's words, the assistant coach nodded and did not continue to object.

Since the head coach has spoken, then he, as an assistant coach, should naturally support it.

Popovich stared at the video, his mind drifting far away.

In his design, only Wembanyama, who locks in the top spot next year, can really make the Spurs recover from the pain of Leonard's sudden departure and become a Western powerhouse again.

If the French star can be selected inside, then as long as they are paired with an outside player, the main axis of the Spurs team building is very clear, and the next step is to build the team around the pair of inside and outside players.

If both players were home-bred they were, it would be a great thing. After all, stars traded from other teams often struggle to have too good chemistry with the Spurs' tactical system.

The previous Richard Jefferson is a good example, as an All-Star level forward, the Spurs' largest signing in those years, but they have not reached a perfect run-in with the team, and the final results are not satisfactory.

Even Aldridge, who is highly compatible with the Spurs' system, had a mediocre first season with the team, and then it took a whole year under Duncan's hands-on teaching to fully integrate and become the team's pillar after Leonard left.
