Chapter 133 Explosive deal, James and Kobe join forces with the Lakers!
Chapter 133

The fans at the scene were extremely excited. Wang Yan shot a three-pointer at the speed of light, a technique that has never been used in the NBA or the Olympics.

I didn’t expect that in an amateur league, I could actually appreciate Wang Yan’s unique three-point technique!
In fact, the most surprised person was Ray Allen.

At present, the most successful three-point shooters in the NBA are Reggie Miller and Ray Allen.

They know how to make three-pointers more threatening.

That's the moving card under your feet, act quickly!

For them, being able to make most of the open three-pointers is already a success.

However, Wang Yan's three-point shooting technique overturned their inherent ideas.

Can you shoot three-pointers like this?
Combined with fancy dribbling, and the hit rate is so high!
It’s incredible!
Wang Yan was ecstatic. He finally experienced the joy of peak Curry. It was so damn cool!

He couldn't help but sing Yue Jianpeng's song -

"Ah... three points! You have one more point than two points! Ah... two points, you have one less point than three points!"

The players on the field were stunned and thought it was Wang Yan's new type of trash talk.

In the next few rounds, Wang Yan made full use of Curry's three-point shooting skills.

The 24-point difference was wiped out before the end of the third quarter.

Moreover, Wang Yan also showed his DPOY strength on the defensive end.

Ray Allen didn't even have a chance to shoot, Wang Yan was simply everywhere!
In the end, Wang Yan's cheaters defeated souljas team 126:109 and won the Drew League championship!

The fans were completely convinced. Wang Yan is the champion wherever he goes!
In the first half, Wang Yan only scored 13 points, but in the second half, Wang Yan made 11 of 9 three-pointers and scored 47 points!
The fans know that Wang Yan is still holding back!

If Wang Yan had given his all from the first half, who knows how many points he could have scored!

After the game, Ray Allen took the initiative to hug Wang Yan and congratulate him, and whispered in his ear: "Wang, you are going to open up a new era, I am optimistic about you!"

Wang Yan spoke modestly for a few moments and didn't say much more.

. . . .

Just when Wang Yan was having fun, a big event happened in the NBA offseason transaction!

After losing the Eastern Conference Finals, James began to consider leaving.

To be honest, he was quite unlucky. In the first year, he was defeated by Nowitzki, and in the second year, he was pinned to the ground by Wang Yan.

He had originally gone to the top of the Heat to form a team despite the infamy, but in the end he got nothing. Even in front of the young Wang Yan, he had no hope at all.

So James has long revealed that he wants to travel west.

The Big Three are not enough, James wants to form a bigger team!
In today's league, if James wants to form a team bigger than the Big Three, how should he do it?
That's right!

James actually went to the Lakers and formed a team with Kobe!

The Lakers sent out Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum and got James!

Now, James fans and Comey fans, who have been scolding each other for years, are stunned.

"What's going on? These two enemies have become teammates? How can we continue to criticize each other in the future?"

"Why are you scolding me? We are all on the same team, we are family!"

"Forget it, we will quarrel even more fiercely in the future, blame each other, accuse each other, haha!"

Not only were the fans confused, even the coaches of other teams were speechless.

Just last year, the league stopped the possibility of Kobe and Paul joining forces because the two of them would break the balance of the league.

Only one year has passed, and the league allowed James and Kobe to team up, but no one stopped it?
There is only one reason, and that is the sudden appearance of Wang Yan!

Many fans even believe that even if James and Kobe join forces, they may not be able to defeat Wang Yan!

Wang Yan became the enemy of all teams.

There is no way, the strength he showed is too powerful!

It's so powerful that no one thinks there's anything wrong with James and Kobe joining forces.

Just as this explosive news spread throughout the league, Wang Yan accepted an interview with the media.

"Wang, have you heard? James and Kobe have teamed up. Many people think that the Lakers have already booked the next championship. What do you think?"

Wang Yan suppressed his laughter and answered seriously, "It is possible, but the probability is very low."

The reporter asked: "How low?"

"The probability is as low as if I could miss a dunk!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the reporters burst into laughter.

Wang Yan's skill in attacking people is really great.

I guess James and Kobe would be so angry that they would vomit blood after hearing what Wang Yan said.

Another reporter asked, "Can you talk about the changes to the Cavaliers this season?"

Wang Yan shrugged and replied, "There won't be any major changes. We will have a better understanding of each other and I believe we will achieve better results in the new season!"

The reporter stuck out his tongue unconsciously.

Will we achieve better results next season? Will we let others live...

"Wang, if you were given a choice, would you choose James or Kobe as your teammate?"

This reporter is very good at provoking trouble, and it is difficult for Wang Yan to answer.

No matter what you say, you will offend some fans, not only will you be scolded, but you will also be criticized.

Wang Yan's mentality is not that of a young man. He smiled faintly and replied faintly: "I won't choose either of these two people. I just want to be opponents with them, not teammates!"

The reporters were stunned for a moment, and then burst into warm applause!

This is what a proud athlete is like, he must compete with the strongest, not join them!
. . . .

However, information is too advanced nowadays.

A few days later, the details of James joining the Lakers were revealed.

It turns out that James didn't want to join the Lakers at first.

Because if he joins the Lakers, he might become the second player in the team.

But James has to go to the West because the East has Wang Yan's Cavaliers and other teams have no chance.

He now gets a headache whenever he sees Wang Yan and never wants to meet Wang Yan in the East again.

However, after going around in circles, he encountered obstacles everywhere.

James' agent first contacted the Spurs.

This is a smart choice.

Duncan is old and entering the end of his career, and Parker and Ginobili are not absolutely core materials.

Once James arrives, he can grab the position of team leader with just a little effort!
Although he had a nice idea, Popovich refused it outright!

Popovich has long been disdainful of James's style of play.

So it is impossible to let him come to the team and be the team leader.

In desperation, James chose the Lakers.

The Lakers are in a state of panic, with a sense of fading. Kobe is still scoring like a piece of cake, but the rest of the team is a mess.

Being poor is changing.

The Lakers management also wants to make changes.

Besides, James has high commercial value, so the Lakers and the Heat hit it off and made this earthquake-like deal.

ESPN experts discuss the deal.

These experts all agree that the Lakers already have the ability to compete with the Cavaliers, and now it depends on the chemistry between James and Kobe.

One plus one may be greater than two, or it may be less than two. It is hard to say.

In fact, the person under the most pressure right now is James.

Because this is the second time he ran away.

Situations like James' were rare in the NBA more than a decade ago.

In the past NBA, no matter what the team's record was, the star players were all local lords and no one would submit to anyone else.

What they think about every day is how to lead the team to defeat the opponent.

Even if I lose, I will secretly work harder and fight back next time!
If it doesn’t work this year, it’s okay, try again next year!
It doesn’t matter if we lose next year, we can try again the year after!
Why did Jordan win the respect of the whole world?

Is it that he has never failed?

Not!
What is most admirable about him is that despite years of failure, he never thought of running away. Instead, he worked hard to improve himself, urge his teammates, increase the team's combat effectiveness, and come back next year!
After being defeated by the Bad Boys of the Pistons for three consecutive years, anyone else would have been discouraged.

But Jordan never gave up and never complained!
Finally, he climbed over the mountain, and from then on he could look down on all the other mountains and the world!
. . . .

James and Kobe were interviewed together.

Unlike the Heat Big Three two years ago, James was very low-key this time.

He neither held a press conference nor made any wild remarks.

Like not two, not three, not five, not six, but seven championships!
I guess he would blush when he thinks of these words now.

A reporter asked: "LeBron, why did you leave the Heat after only two years? You didn't say that at the beginning!"

James was well prepared and answered calmly: "As a professional player, I think it is normal to change teams. This is all within the rules. There are so many trades every season. My joining the Lakers is just one of them. Didn't you jump the slot?"

His well-reasoned answer confused the reporter.

Another female reporter reacted quickly and pressed the issue, “But you promised the Heat fans that you would not leave and would bring the championship to the team!”

James' face turned ugly, but he still pretended to be calm and answered: "Did I say that? I don't remember. I think it was just a polite remark. Besides, I haven't done anything wrong to them. Let them criticize me! Anyway, after they criticize me, they will continue their bad life the next day. And I just bought a limited edition luxury car! As for Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, I wish them all the best in Miami."

The reporters all shook their heads slightly, feeling that James' emotional intelligence did not seem to be very high.

Kobe and James are teammates after all, so when they saw that the atmosphere was not right, they came out to help.

"LeBron joining the Lakers is a new beginning. Let's compete for the championship together!"

When the reporters saw that Kobe was actively attracting firepower to himself, they began to ask questions to Kobe.

"Bryant, do you think you will be compatible with James?"

Kobe thought for a moment and replied, "I think it's okay, but we need more games to get used to each other. LeBron has a high basketball IQ and a first-class overall view. I believe we can make the Lakers the most terrifying team!"

Compared to James, Kobe's answer was more appropriate and also took James' emotions into consideration.

James looked at Kobe with gratitude, stretched out his hand and gave Kobe a high five.

Another reporter asked: "Do the Lakers have any specific goals for the new season?"

Kobe shrugged and replied: "The Lakers always have only one goal, that is: Lakers championship!"

The reporters below were moved by Kobe's confidence and broad-mindedness, and they all shouted in unison.

"Lakers championship!"

"Lakers championship!"

. . . .

Obviously, this trade is a huge reinforcement for the Lakers, who now have several stars that were just traded.

Old Nash + Kobe + Artest + James!
The lineup of these four people is quite intimidating, and almost all fans believe that the Lakers will be the strongest contender for the championship next season.

At least getting out of the West won’t be a problem!

However, this move by James made some fans very dissatisfied, believing that his frequent team-building has changed the flavor of the NBA.

Even some old James fans who have been following him for many years have turned from fans to haters.

When James was in and out of the league, his playing style really made the fans shine.

His excellent physical talents, violent playing style, and imaginative passing quickly attracted countless fans to cheer for him.

But after he left the Cavaliers and joined the Heat to form the Big Three, some of his fans stopped following him.

Although I've stopped being a fan, I haven't turned against him. I can only say that I'm very disappointed in him.

But he only stayed in the Heat for two years, and when he saw that there was no hope of winning the championship, he ran away again. This made many of his die-hard fans unbearable and they couldn't change their minds.

Those fans who turned from fans to haters are the ones who curse the most.

They all complained that James would do anything to win the championship, and was even willing to become the old 1.5 in the Lakers.
The new season hasn't even started yet, but James has already been given the nickname "Old 1.5".

Wang Yan laughed as he watched the fans' discussion.

Because he remembered that in his previous life, this nickname should have belonged to Durant.

Unexpectedly, in this life, James actually "grabbed the patent".

. . . .

Wang Yan was not idle either. He started training with his Cavaliers teammates.

Middleton, the 38th pick who just joined the Cavaliers, was personally selected by Wang Yan.

At first, the team management was not very enthusiastic about this choice, thinking that it would be better to use the draft pick in exchange for a more mature player who could at least be ready for combat.

But through the performance in training and the shooting stability shown by Middleton, the head coach and team top management were very satisfied.

They were amazed at Wang Yan's keen eye for talent.

It’s amazing that we can find such a good talent at such a low ranking!
Middleton is a little fan of Wang Yan. He was happy for many days after learning that he was selected by the Cavaliers.

When he met Wang Yan in person for the first time, he shyly took out two photos of Wang Yan and hoped that Wang Yan would sign them for him.

Wang Yan burst out laughing, but still met his request.

"Wang! You are simply a legend in the NBA. I will work hard in the future and will not let myself hold the team back!"

Wang Yan was very pleased to see Middleton's sincerity because he knew Middleton's potential.

The Bucks were able to win the championship later, and besides Antetokounmpo, Middleton made the biggest contribution.

When the team is in trouble, he always steps up and makes the key shots.

It is because of this trait of his that Wang Yan strongly recommended the team's top management to choose Middleton.

Of course, Wang Yan doesn’t want to be a ball hog, he just hopes that his teammates will be stronger. After all, next season, the Cavaliers will be the enemy of all teams!
