NBA: Fusion of Pangu makes Kobe Bryant cry with envy!

Chapter 104

At this moment, in the Los Angeles Lakers meeting room, the team's general manager, Kupchak, and Magic Johnson appeared in the meeting room.

What they were discussing tonight was relatively simple.

It was about the team's signings.

Before the start of the season, the Lakers had embarked on a major reconstruction project.

Needless to say, the signing of PJ Tucker was one of them.

"PJ Tucker is really good. This kid made six three-pointers in the last game!"

"Hahaha, we made a lot of money, thank you so much to the Suns!"

"If he keeps going at this pace, he will be a real champion!"

Many managers smiled brightly.

Before Tucker came, they were not sure.

But after the last game, everyone felt that PJ Tucker was good!

Kupchak was also discussing Tucker with Magic Johnson with a smile.

"There is no doubt that PJ Tucker is a very good signing"

"Besides being a top 3D player, he also has a strong rebounding talent."

"I'm almost in love with this guy."

Magic Johnson was in a good mood when he saw that the players he picked were so valued.

"Yeah, I like this guy too."

"Can we let him try to be the starting power forward in a few tryouts?"

Magic Johnson raised his eyebrows, trying to find out Kupchak's idea.

Kupchak touched his chin and thought for a while.

"It's not impossible"

"He is strong enough, Su Pan can handle the inside line alone"

"All he has to do is grab rebounds, steal three-pointers, and defend the opponent's key players."

"that is……"

Kupchak suddenly stopped, with a look of worry on his face.

Magic Johnson seemed to have seen what his general manager was thinking, and his expression was also serious.

After a moment, Kupchak tapped the table a few times and looked at the management members below.

"Today, in addition to PJ Tucker's problem, there is another point we must take seriously and talk about."

"That's the thing about Paul George."

"Our lineup is not strong enough now, especially on the outside."

At this moment, the management members all had serious expressions.

They have been discussing this matter since the beginning of the season.

The outside combination of Russell + Jeremy Lin + Kobe.

The Lakers' outside defense level is really not satisfactory.

Jeremy Lin and Russell are not defensive sieves, but they are also in the middle and lower reaches of defense.

Kobe's defense when he concentrates can reach the upper reaches of the league.

But the problem is.

Kobe, who is already 38 years old, can't guarantee a very high defensive intensity throughout the game.

Therefore, Paul George is one of their targets.

In the beginning, they also tried to test the Pacers through other means, but the other party asked for too high a price.

The other party even had the unrealistic idea of wanting George to trade for Su Pan alone.

Now is the best time.

Paul George pulled in the last game, but this is a good thing for the Lakers.

This is likely to reduce the trading market for Paul George.

The Lakers can still deal with this aspect.

The management also gave their opinions and views

"If it weren't for the chips from the last transaction, I think I could give it a try."

"Well, Paul George is still our best choice"

"I'm a little worried about injuries."

"Indeed, Paul George's injury is a bit serious. If he gets traded and relapses, it will be a loss for us."

Kupchak saw that everyone had different opinions and looked at Magic Johnson next to him, wanting to hear his thoughts.

"What do you think, MJ?"

Magic Johnson raised his eyebrows

"At this stage, Paul George should be the best choice"

"We need a strong small forward to work with Kobe"

"Kobe can't keep playing like this."

Kupchak nodded and signaled Magic to continue.

Magic also spread the current lineup list on the table and quickly circled Russell's name.

"At Russell's current level, he can be the starting point guard."

"At the same time, Kobe returns to the point guard position, and with Paul George's cooperation, we can get a very strong backcourt."

"Moreover!"

The magician paused and dragged PJ Tucker's name into the discussion.

"PJ Tucker is also half of the backcourt, our outfield defense will be very strong, and Su Pan is enough inside."

Kupicek frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Magic Johnson slammed his hand on the table and said firmly

"We should go all out to pursue Paul George and improve our starting lineup."

Hearing this, many people took a deep breath.

This means that after the Lakers recruited Su Pan at the beginning of the season, they will have to sacrifice a lot of chips for Paul George.

But according to the current momentum of the Lakers in the new season.

Everyone cannot deny a fact.

If Paul George comes, they have a good chance of reaching the finals.

"I agree."

A manager raised his hand to show his agreement.

Soon, the voices of people in the meeting room came one after another.

"I agree too"

"Well, the team's point guard is a bit crowded, Lin still has value and can be used as a good bargaining chip"

"Jeremy Lin?"

"Indeed, we can give you something else."

……

At the same time, in the long wait.

The Lakers vs. Kings game is about to start.

And the pre-game heat of this game is very high.

Many fans are looking forward to this duel. Under the publicity of many media, it has even been packaged as a battle for the league's top center.

Coupled with the spread of fans, the attention has reached the peak of the day's game before the game started.

Even after the game starts, the attention will increase geometrically.

But what's interesting is that in this highly watched game, the Kings' ranking is not outstanding.

It is only ranked sixth in the West.

But most fans are more concerned about the process of this game.

Cousins vs. Su Pan.

Although the Kings' record was not good last season, Rondo joined this season.

With Rondo's help, Cousins' strength has been fully exerted.

He turned the tide in the interior.

He made accurate shots on the outside.

He can also show off his skills.

He attracted a lot of fans.

Before the game started, the camera on the scene frequently shone on Cousins and Su Pan.

Some reporters also wanted to stir up trouble and went directly to Cousins

"Do you also think that tonight is a battle for the best center in the league?"

Cousins got excited when he heard this question.

He had been preparing for this game for a long time.

Facing the camera, he replied confidently.

"That’s right!"

"I've been working hard to become the best center in the league"

"Tonight is my chance to prove myself."

The reporters got the answers they wanted and smiled with satisfaction.

The same question was also asked to Kobe.

In comparison, Kobe was much calmer.

He glanced at the reporter who was asking the question and raised his eyebrows.

"Only children would ask this question?"

"Su Pan is averaging 40+ points per game, and you ask me about the competition for the best center in the league?"

"What is the competition for the top center in the league? If I can average 40+ points per game, will I compete for this?"

The reporter was sweating profusely when he saw Kobe's tone gradually becoming unfriendly.

However, facing the camera, Kobe gave a final response with absolute certainty.

"There is no competition for the top center in the league."

"Because Su Pan is the best player in the league!"
