The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"Suggest?"

Kobe looked at Tang Tian.

If it was changed to before, Tang Tian said that he would most likely not listen to the suggestion.

But after recovering Vanessa, as Vanessa said, Tang Tian was the only person he was willing to listen to.

"Number one, and what I think you have to do, is find a way to get management to trade for a defensive back."

Tang Tian spoke directly.

"The reason why D'Antoni's bombardment in the Suns was successful, apart from Nash, is that they have a top defensive player on the perimeter who can wipe Nash's ass, Raja Bell, you You should be familiar with him."

Kobe nodded. Raja Bell, one of the "Kobe Terminator", once locked his throat.

In the defensive list he recognized in his mind, Bell is very high.

"But now the Lakers don't have it, and you can't play that role, so no matter when Nash comes back or how, the team must need such a person."

Kobe nodded, what Tang Tian said made a lot of sense.

In the current Lakers team, Artest originally played the role Tang Tian said.

But it's a pity that Artest is too old, and he was overtaken by others on the defensive end of the third position.

"So find such a person, wait until Nash comes back, let him start with you, Nash, you, defensive swingman, Artest, Howard, this is the minimum that D'Antoni's system can play. configure."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, Kobe looked at Tang Tian in a daze.

He suddenly felt that he knew Tang Tian for nothing during the offseason.

With Tang Tian's analytical ability, even if he doesn't play basketball, he can be a head coach or general manager in the future!

Help people to the end, send Buddha to the west.

After seeing Kobe nodding, Tang Tian spoke again.

"Such a player can be obtained at a small price and has the possibility of being traded, I can tell you."

Kobe nodded, indicating that he was listening.

"Sean Livingston of the Cavaliers, he returned from a serious injury, but his organization and defense are still there, he can partner with Nash in the backcourt, and you play the third position.

CJ Miles of the Cavaliers, he was a good wing defender in the Jazz, you should have played against him, and he can shoot three points.

Aminu of the Hornets, he is a very good defensive rookie, but he is not reused in the Hornets.

PJ Tucker of the Suns, he only came back from overseas last season, he is a seriously underrated defensive wing, and he has very good mental attributes.

These players are all players with poor team records, low contract wages, and not very popular players. It is not difficult for the Lakers to get them.

Even you only need to talk to the management, I believe it is entirely possible to trade one or two people. "

Kobe's eyes widened after hearing Tang Tian's words.

Damn, are you a player or a manager!

I understand this better than the professional managers of many teams. Hey!

But after being excited, he smiled wryly and shook his head.

"What's the matter? Do you think the Lakers have no bargaining chips? These people are not worth much now. Even if there is no equivalent player to change, a second-round pick can be won."

Tang Tian said.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the Spurs are already strong enough, and he is not as talkative in the management as Kobe, he would have suggested that the team trade these high-quality role players to the team.

"No, it's something about the team. Mr. Bass is very ill now. His two children are fighting for control of the team. Jim and I are on good terms, but Jenny and I are not. In their It's useless for me to say anything until the battle comes to an end."

Tang Tian told Kobe the truth, and Kobe also told Tang Tian the truth.

Tang Tian got a headache when he heard this. The Lakers are really a mess right now.

"Your second suggestion?"

Kobe asked next.

Tang Tian smiled wryly and shook his head. If the first suggestion can't be done, then the second suggestion is actually meaningless.

Kobe probably knew what Tang Tian meant, so he didn't ask.

"Lunch should be almost ready, let's go eat."

Tang Tian nodded.

The two drove the car back to its original location, and then went upstairs.

The lunch was very rich, and it was the most sumptuous meal Tang Tian had ever seen since traveling.

Halfway through the meal, Kobe's cell phone rang.

He was about to hang up, but picked it up, glanced at the caller, said sorry, and went out.

The two daughters were eating and playing. Vanessa didn't say anything at this time, but looked at Tang Tian, ​​as if asking for the result.

Tang Tian shook his head.

Vanessa's expectant eyes suddenly became helpless.

If neither Tang Tian nor she can convince Kobe, then there is really no one in this world who can.

Tang Tian didn't say anything, many things cannot be forced.

Perhaps it was destined that Kobe would end up that way.

After a while, Kobe came back, but compared to when he just went out, his face was full of smiles, and it was obviously a heartfelt smile.

"Don, now that the first suggestion you gave me can be implemented, what's the second suggestion?"

Kobe spoke directly.

The call just now was from Jim Bass, and only one thing was said on the phone.

He reached an agreement with his sister Jenny Buss that he will be in charge of the team for 3 years. During these 3 years, if he can lead the Lakers to regain their glory, then he will become the team's complete leader. Otherwise, after three years He is about to withdraw from the family feud.

3Chapter 17 New scene development (10/10, ChoiZhae rewards plus more!)

Seeing the change in Kobe's attitude, Tang Tian probably guessed that there was a change in the management.

Vanessa was also a little puzzled when she heard this, but looking at Kobe's smile, she knew it was probably a good thing.

"The second suggestion is your style of play."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, the smile on Kobe's face gradually disappeared.

If he could completely accept the first suggestion, then Tang Tian didn't like the second suggestion that much.

He has been playing for almost 20 years, Tang Tian is now telling him that there is something wrong with his style of play?

Anyway, he is also the one who has won 5 championships, Tang Tian is just a second-year rookie.

"Your current style of play is not suitable for you at the age of 34. Your ability and feeling are still there, but no matter who you are, you have to obey your old age."

But what Tang Tian said next made Kobe think again.

Tang Tian was not questioning his style of play, but telling him a very cruel reality: he was getting old.

"If you don't make a change, then you're the next Michael Jordan.

"Of course, I'm talking about Jordan in the Wizards period."

Tang Tian also played with American humor.

But what he said was very straightforward.

Jordan is just Jordan, the god of basketball, and he is the boss everywhere. At the age of 39, he is still the boss in the Wizards, and he still plays exactly the same as before.

Then, the Wizards failed to make the playoffs for two consecutive years.

If Kobe just wants to be like Jordan, then Tang Tian's suggestion is actually meaningless.

Still the same as in the previous life, not making the playoffs, brushing up the statistics, and playing a retirement tour, with a happy finale of 60 points by the way.

But if Kobe is going to win, have the Mamba mentality, and want to liven up what looks like a dead end, then he's going to have to change.

The right to choose is with Kobe himself.

Kobe was silent.

He understood what Tang Tian said.

Although he really wanted to win, he was just as arrogant as Jordan.

"What do you mean by change?"

After a moment of silence, Kobe spoke.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not asking you to be a role player, but just letting you put some ball power properly, and then play more off the ball."

Tang Tian said with a very relaxed gesture.

Kobe felt a little relaxed when he heard this.

"Doesn't Howard want the ball? Then you should play him more. Don't think he is useless. He has led the team to the finals anyway. You decide the upper limit of the team, but he is the one who decides the lower limit."

"Then play more without the ball, and save more physical strength for the critical moment. There are 48 minutes in the game. Why do you have to play every minute as the last minute? If you can't win the ball, what is the use of Mamba spirit?"

When Tang Tian said this, Vanessa's body tensed up.

Tang Tian's words are really bold!

She took a peek at Kobe.

Kobe was not angry, he seemed to be thinking, thinking about what Tang Tian said.

"Of course, as I said before, if my first suggestion can be successful, D'Antoni's tactical system must be able to run, or if you don't play the team and lose at halftime, then my second suggestion is actually It's pointless too."

Tang Tian finally said.

Kobe is the signature of the Lakers. The management will listen to what he said. He started to trot in the first and fourth seasons, which made Howard fight, and Kobe played without the ball.

These are the only ways he can think of to solve the deadlock of the Lakers.

It is also the only way he failed to complete what Vanessa said to persuade Kobe to play without injury, so that he may be reimbursed for the season.

Still the same as before, the decision is in Kobe's own hands.

Kobe thought for a long time.

It was like when he usually finished training alone in the training hall, lying on the floor of the arena, thinking quietly there.

Knowing that Kobe needed to be quiet at this time, Vanessa took her two daughters out of the restaurant.

Tang Tian also got up and went downstairs.

"Thank you."

Seeing Tang Tian coming down, Vanessa thanked him.

Tang Tian pointed to Ferrari with a smile, and jokingly said: "If you have money, you will work hard."

Vanessa laughed out loud.

Others don't know, but she knows that Tang Tian has received a lot of endorsements, and it's not that she really lacks the money.

Before Kobe came down, Jaina clamored to watch Tang Tian play.

Tang Tian took her to the outdoor basketball court next door.

After waiting for more than an hour, Tang Tian came back with Jaina.

Kobe hasn't come down yet, and it seems that he hasn't made a decision yet.

Because Olsen still had a date tonight, Tang Tian didn't wait any longer, greeted Vanessa, and then prepared to leave.

"No matter what the result is, thank you."

Vanessa said to Tang Tian before leaving.

What she said meant that she owed Tang Tian a favor.

Tang Tian wasn't too polite, it's not a bad thing to owe favors.
