Chapter 653 653. I want to change teams these days

The game between the Lakers and the Clippers started on time at six o'clock in the evening.

The Lakers and the Clippers are old rivals. Both teams have experienced ups and downs in the past few years, and both reached their peaks, but the luck of the Clippers was really unlucky. The peak year was the 13-14 season Well, like the Spurs, they once surpassed other teams in the league by a large margin, but who knew that their boss would kill himself, engage in discrimination, and then ruin their peak moment by themselves.

In the 13-14 season, all members of the Clippers were at their peak, and there were no injuries. This was the year when they were most likely to win the championship, but they fell on their own boss inexplicably.

Since then, the Clippers have never returned to the top. There are many reasons, but none of them matter anymore, because the heart is no longer aligned.

According to the previous situation, it is basically impossible for the Clippers and Lakers players to have a harmonious conversation on the court.

The first is the hostility between the two teams. When the two teams are the top teams in the West, the fans are naturally in the same situation. From the perspective of the team, there will be no positive communication between the two teams during the game.

The second is the relationship between players. Because Paul chose to renew his contract with the Clippers in 2012 instead of waiting to join the Lakers after 2013, the relationship with Kobe became normal. Jordan and Liu Ren did not deal with each other. Finn had conflicts with Gasol many times, mainly because of Griffin's style of play two years before entering the NBA, which offended many people. Gasol, a good old man, was offended, and it can be seen that at that time How brutal Griffin plays is that he doesn't give the opponent face.

But now the relationship between the two teams has actually eased. The main reason is that there are a little more strong teams in California. The Lakers and Warriors have absorbed all the basketball fans in California. One of the four seats, even if they have a better record than the Thunder, they can only rank second. The mentality of the fans of the two teams is completely different. They don't regard each other as an opponent of the same level. The Lakers don't think much of it. In the playoffs, the Clippers lost all kinds of chains, and the Clippers lowered their opponents and became barely top-notch teams such as the Grizzlies and Rockets.

In addition, the Clippers may move out next season. The "least important" thing for former Microsoft boss Ballmer is money. One billion dollars will be invested in it. It is estimated that the new arena will be built in April and May. It also includes the time for demolition and evacuation to purchase land. As a result, the relationship between the players on both sides has become much more harmonious.

"Hi, boss, long time no see. Even though we all live in Los Angeles, it's rare to see him once." Paul took the initiative to greet Liu Ren.

Liu Ren was surprised by Paul's unexpected enthusiasm today, but he replied honestly: "Yes, although we are both in Los Angeles, the schedule is completely different, no different from other opponents, and we only play eight or nine games a year. , there are not many opportunities to ask to play together."

Paul's face twitched, eight or nine games a year... He rang again about being brutally abused by the Lakers in the playoffs in the past two years.

But Paul endured it!He wants to build a good relationship with Liu Ren, because he can jump out of his contract for more than a year.

Paul renewed his contract with the Clippers in 2012. Now this contract is 2013 million for 5 years starting in 1.05. He can jump out of the contract in the summer of 2017, and he is indeed planning to jump out of the contract at that time. At that time, he just turned 32. At the age of 5, he can sign another maximum salary, which can reach nearly [-] million in [-] years at most.

Moreover, the Clippers seem to be very confused about the future. Whether it is out of money or consideration of winning the championship, Paul will definitely jump out of the contract.

"Yeah, it would be great if we were teammates, just like you and Kobe, you can go to each other's house to have a party at any time." Paul said meaningfully.

How could Liu Ren fail to understand what Paul meant?Not too many people say these things to him these days.

Now the Lakers lineup is young, the salary situation is excellent, and there are many bargaining chips. After this season, the Lakers have countless ways to get other superstars. The Lakers have salary space, because several players are still on cheap contracts. Chips, the Lakers have too many talented young players.

However, it is related to the future of the team. Liu Ren will not make any promises with other team players who take the initiative to befriend, otherwise it will definitely interfere with the decision-making of the team management. One of the shareholders of the team has already had an impact on all operational matters of the Lakers, and he does not want to cause more disadvantages to the management.

"It doesn't matter. Next time I or Kobe hold a party, I will definitely ask you to join me. Of course, you have to save face." Liu Ren decisively ignored the real meaning of Paul's words.

Paul was a little depressed, Liu Ren's act of drawing a clear line was too obvious, but he still acted excitedly: "Wow, of course, I will definitely participate..."

If it was Paul a few years ago, he would definitely not be as good as he is today to get close to Liu Ren, because he is also the kind of old-school basketball character, and he disdains to join the opponent, and he came to the Clippers. Wish, but forced to come, but after he came, he wanted to lead the Clippers to win the championship. In the summer of 2012, he can jump out of the contract, or go to the Lakers after playing for the last year. It is obvious to lead the Lakers to rise again. It is easier than leading the Clippers, because Howard will not leave when he goes to the Lakers. He will directly form a new combination of giants. Coupled with the attractiveness of the Lakers, there must be many talented players to join. Become the biggest favorite to win the championship, maybe already won the championship.

Due to Liu Ren's joining in this time and space, the Lakers have not experienced a downturn. The players' view of the Lakers is still the most attractive team.

But Paul still renewed his contract with the Clippers at that time, because of the influence of the traditional psychology of old-school basketball in his heart.

But in the past few years, giant combinations have been emerging, and it has become commonplace for superstars to change teams. James returned to Cleveland, and the Blazers invincible started four straight away, all of which went to pursue high salaries. Paul is in this era. It also began to change, and the idea of ​​​​leaving the Clippers came into being.

……

Or those boring hip-hop singers singing boring lyrics, or those beauties who look hot but don’t meet Liu Ren’s aesthetics at all. The management proposed to play something fresh.

The Lakers are stepping up their efforts. Occasionally, some well-known hosts will be invited to play some talk shows before the game. There have been some improvements, but the main thing is still dancing with beautiful women.

Because the fans are uncles, the fans like to watch these things... And today's home game is the Clippers, and their dance show of hot beauties is almost the same as that of strippers, and the Lakers can't control what kind of performance they will do.

Finally, the pre-match activities were over, the starters of both sides came to the court, and the game was about to start.

The starting lineup sent by the Lakers today is the strongest lineup of Antetokounmpo, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside.

As for the Los Angeles Derby, the Lakers still attach great importance to it. No one can lose to the Clippers. The Clippers stole a lot of the limelight from the Lakers a few years ago, and now the Lakers have to take it back.

Originally, because the opponent was a small Paul who was not used to his quick hands, it was a bit inappropriate for the Lakers to send Antetokounmpo here. However, looking at the Lakers point guard line, Clarkson and LaVine are two second-years. Facing Paul's defense...it's not as good as Antetokounmpo. At most, he just doesn't hold the ball in a positional battle. Liu Ren has a huge advantage against all the Clippers' small forwards. The main player in this game is Liu Ren .

In fact, it should be said that all teams in the league have advantages against the Clippers' small forwards. The Clippers are very special. No matter which small forwards who played very well before come to the Clippers, they are basically useless...

The Clippers' starting lineup is Paul, Redick, Pierce, Griffin, and Jordan.

Whiteside and Jordan stand in the middle circle and prepare to jump the ball.

The two super rebounders who are now competing for the second most rebounds per game stand together. It can be said that the enemies are extremely jealous. Germany is only 14 points per game, and the two of them are obviously going to go shopping today.
