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

Chapter 70

On the other hand, Gobert… scooped 2 points and 1 rebound.

Seeing such a tragic scene, many Jazz fans closed their eyes and dared not continue to watch this cruel game.

In the studio of Pain News, Wang Meng also laughed and teased

"Gobert was beaten into a bag of Bell."

The fans' concerns about Su Pan also disappeared because of Su Pan's outstanding performance in the first quarter.

At this moment, the Lakers management was also watching the game.

General Manager Kupchak shook his glass with a bright smile on his face.

He was very satisfied with his bold trade this year.

After taking two sips of coffee, he let out a sigh of satisfaction and turned to chat with Magic Johnson next to him.

"It turns out that even the young man with the potential to be the best defensive player in the future cannot control Su Pan in one-on-one defense."

"We are right"

"The future of the league belongs to Su Pan."

Magic Johnson also nodded with a smile, but there was a hint of regret in his words.

"Su Pan's strength has been strongly proved"

"Unfortunately, our current lineup is not yet complete."

"Actually, Gordon Hayward, the small forward, is in my plan."

"But his level and potential make it difficult for us to get him."

Kupchak also frowned slightly.

After the Lakers completed the Su Pan deal, the team's strength has been rapidly improved, and they have found the direction of future development.

But it is too difficult for this lineup to compete for the championship at this stage.

But if they can complete some effective signings, they will immediately become a team that is qualified to compete for the championship.

Gordon Hayward is also the best choice in the Lakers' plan.

Hayward was highly expected when he was in the Jazz. He was able to average 20 points per game last season, and he also has good one-on-one and off-ball abilities. He is likely to become a superstar in the future.

The main reason is that this player is also very humble and motivated, and his ball possession rate is not high.

If he can join the Lakers, Kobe will definitely like this kid very much. After Kobe retires in the future, he and Su Pan will most likely become the dual core of the Lakers.

So in every game of the Lakers in the first half of this season, they not only have to get a higher ranking, but also help the team find the next person to join the team.

"It is much more difficult for us to get Gordon Hayward than Paul George."

Kupchak smiled bitterly and shook his head:"And I still think that he is not as good as Paul George."

Magic Johnson also nodded in agreement at this moment:"You are right."

In the current NBA trading market, in terms of the value of small forwards, the technically mature Hayward has never fallen out of the top of the league.

And Paul George, who suffered a devastating injury, has also fallen from the top three small forwards in the league to tenth, or even fifteenth or twentyth place.

No team dares to bet whether this guy can recover to his pre-injury game state.

If the Lakers really want to trade Hayward, they must come up with chips that are more valuable than Paul George.

Kupchak looked at the players on the court.

"MJ, what do you think of their starting power forward, the short guy in Derrick Favors?"

"That guy……"

Magic Johnson was slightly startled, stroking his chin and lost in thought.

In addition to seeking a small forward, the Lakers are also looking for a power forward.

Although Thaddeus Young has good ability, his ceiling is very low after all. He can't take on the responsibility in the key games.

Derrick Favors of the Jazz. He averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds per game last season. Although he is only 2.04 meters tall like Thaddeus Young, he is very good overall.

The key is that with the same height of 2.04 meters, Derrick Favors has an excellent mid-range and long-range shooting ability like Thaddeus Young, and is gradually becoming an excellent space-type No. 4.

"I think his functionality is not as good as Des Young, and his three-point shooting is only over 30%."

Magic Johnson looked at Derrick Favors on the court and shook his head:"I don't want to bet that his three-point shooting can improve to 40 in the future%"

"If we choose a short power forward, three-point shooting is one of the necessary abilities"

"To be honest, Thaddeus Young is also practicing three-pointers. If we introduce him, we might as well wait for Thaddeus Young."

Kupchak nodded.

The advent of the small ball era has a huge impact on inside players.

But it is not the"twilight of traditional centers" as the media outside say.

After all, the"twilight of centers" is only because there have been no strong super centers in recent years. The ones who really suffer the biggest impact are small forwards and power forwards.

The ambiguity of these two positions has led to a gradual increase in the demand for the third and fourth positions in the team to have three-point shooting to open up space.

Now in the league, the most difficult thing to find is a third or fourth position with three-point shooting ability.

"MJ, what do you think of their power forward PJ Tucker in the last game against the Suns?"

"I thought he was good enough.

Magic Johnson smiled.

"I have been observing this guy for a long time. Although he is shorter, he is strong, good at rebounding, and accurate in open three-pointers, with a hit rate of over 40%."

"If he can be introduced to the team, it will also be a kind of enhancement. At least Su Pan will have more room for inside activities."

"So you think he can do it, too."

Kupchak was a little surprised:"I thought you would be worried about his height."

At this moment, Kupchak and Magic reached a consensus.

PJ·Tucker is their best power forward candidate at the moment.

Meanwhile, while the two were chatting, the halftime game ended.

The score difference was already 22 points. Su Pan had already scored 40 points, 21 rebounds, and 6 blocks in just the first half.

20 rebounds and 40 points in the first half.

Both of them broke the highest halftime data of NBA rookies.

No one expected that Su Pan would break Zhang Dashuai's record in his debut.

In the second game, he put Zhang Dashuai's performance under his feet again.

The media went crazy.

They have never seen such a crazy player in all the years of reporting on the NBA.

Although most of the 40 points came from the team's initiative to give the ball to Su Pan to attack Gobert.

But the extremely high hit rate of 85% in the interior also told everyone.

As long as the ball was given to Su Pan, he could convert it into points.

Entering the second half of the game, the Jazz had long been beaten without spirit, and Jazz coach Schneider had completely given up.

At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 118:92. The Lakers won a big victory over Salt Lake City away, and the new season started with two consecutive wins!

In this game, Su Pan played for only 22 minutes and scored 48 points, 26 rebounds and 8 blocks.

Although the data is not much improved compared to the debut, you have to know that Su Pan almost didn't play in the second half.

Many fans are suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder when looking at this data.

If there are two more blocks, Su Pan will set a super block triple-double of 40+25+10.

Become the youngest triple-double in history.

Unfortunately, there are only two short of it!!

Of course, everyone knows it.

Su Pan's block triple-double may be late, but it will not be absent!
