I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 3 Galactic Battleship
A few days later, a news that shocked the league was revealed.

Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz's "Black and White Shuangsha" became a free agent this summer.

Having played for the Jazz for 18 years, he intends to join the Lakers and help Kobe and O'Neal win their fourth championship in five years.

虽然马龙即将年满40岁，可他上赛季仍然可以砍下20.6分、7.8篮板、4.7助攻、1.7抢断，可谓是老当益壮。

With the OK combination and the postman, such a Big Three will surely sweep the league.

And on July 7, Jazz owner Larry Miller said that he had talked with Malone, and Malone confirmed that he wanted to join the Lakers.

This news confirms the previous news.

A few days later, the star "Glove" Gary Payton, who had previously reported joining the Heat with the Heat, suddenly changed his mind.

"When Malone said he wanted to go to the Lakers, I felt that I couldn't pass up this opportunity... to play for the Lakers! Me, Karl and Kobe and O'Neal of the Lakers are very good. Together, we have a great opportunity to help the Lakers win the championship."

Payton is 35 years old this year and is also a veteran, but he still scored 20.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.3 assists, and 1.7 steals last season, which is a proper star data.

On July 7, Malone and Payton officially signed with the Lakers.

Ma Long joined with a veteran's basic salary.

Payton got the middle class exception.

Two Hall of Fame players cut their salaries to join the Lakers in pursuit of the championship dream.

"F4!"

"Four kings!"

"Galacticos!"

"NBA Finale!"

……

At this moment, the Lakers fans were extremely excited.

Lakers Championship!
The remaining 28 teams, are you here to compete for second place?

Not only Lakers fans think so, but also the other 28 teams.

However, as a traveler, Liu He, who knows everything, just wants to find a gambling company and use all his assets to bet on the Pistons to win the championship.

Then he can go from a millionaire to a multi-millionaire.

But thinking of what happened at the draft, Liu He was very upset.

He absolutely does not want the Pistons to win the championship. Doesn't that prove that Joe Dumars made the right choice.

"Must beat the Pistons!"

At this moment, Liu He has produced his first goal since entering the NBA.

Help the Lakers beat the Pistons and win the championship this season.

But thinking of those bad things about the Lakers, Liu He felt heavy.

Phil Jackson led the Lakers to win three consecutive championships and tried to enter the management team, but boss Jerry Buss didn't like this strong employee.

Old Bath's son and daughter struggle for power.

The boss battle between Kobe and O'Neal.

The conflict between Phil and Kobe.

The conflict between Kobe and Malone.

Malone's age and knee injury.

Peyton's age.

……

This seemingly invincible Lakers Galaxy battleship actually hides countless loopholes and may sink at any time.

In addition, I heard that Phil Jackson was looking at Brian Cook, not himself.

It was old Buss who got himself by trading with power.

In this way, Phil must see himself unhappy.

Before the season started, he offended the team's meritorious head coach.

My situation with the Lakers is worrying.

But right now, Liu He's challenge is the summer league.

In this year's draft, in addition to Liu He, the Lakers also selected Luke Walton with the third overall pick in the second round.

Walton is also a small forward, overlapping with Liu He.

So both of them know that summer league is a great opportunity for them to show their abilities.

Whoever performs well will get the opportunity to play first in the Lakers and grab the opportunity to replace the third position.

In the end, Liu He won.

Summer league is over.

刘河拿到了场均14.7分、3.1篮板、4.4助攻、2.1抢断，三项命中率分别是51.1%，48.8%，89.1%。

沃顿则得到了场均9.6分、3.7篮板、2.9助攻、0.7抢断，三项命中率分别是41.2%，31.9%，79.5%。

Liu He won completely.

Of course, Liu He also exposed some problems in the game.

Playing the fourth position, his body is one size smaller, and he suffers from strength and height.

Playing the third position, his speed is very average, facing some explosive and fast forwards, he is somewhat unable to resist.

This is just a comparison with the fringe players in the NBA. If it comes to an official game and compared with the main players in the NBA, Liu He's problem will be even greater.

Combining these issues, Liu He made a choice.

It seems that the third position is more suitable for me.

In the third position, his biggest problem was his speed, so he added all the 5 talent points given by the system to his speed.

Speed ​​increased from 71 to 76.

Now speed is Liu He's talent with the highest numerical value, which is close to the standard of a star.

At the end of July, Summer League ends.

The new season will not start until the end of October, and there are still three months before the new season.

Excluding the team's early training and preseason games, there are at least two months left.

In order to better cope with the new season, Liu He contacted his agent Arne Tai Lun. Through Tai Lun's network, Liu He spent money to invite a team of professional NBA trainers.

For two months of training, the fee is $10.

Liu He directly called the sky-high price.

But they are really professional. The professional team includes video analysts, nutritionists, trainers, psychological counselors, doctors...

After spending a full day, the team submitted a detailed plan.

The content includes daily diet, training plan (including potential development and technical development direction), work and rest arrangement, psychological counseling and so on.

One of them is to suggest that Liu He play the third position and try to avoid playing the fourth position, which is very in line with Liu Shuhe's wishes.

And in the training plan wrote:
"The Lakers have Kobe, O'Neal, Malone, and Payton, and there is no shortage of offensive points with the ball."

"So there are not many opportunities for clients to hold the ball. It is not recommended for clients to train their ability to attack with the ball."

"It is recommended that clients enhance their offensive ability without the ball, including open shots, catch-and-shoot shots in running positions, and air cuts..."

"Considering that the Lakers have two behemoths at the basket, O'Neal and Malone, and Kobe and Payton are also masters of low-post singles, the three-second zone of the Lakers in the new season will be very crowded."

"So it's not advisable for clients to train finishing skills in the paint."

"It is recommended that customers enhance their finishing ability in the area from the mid-range to the three-point line, including mid-range jumpers and three-pointers."

"The client has an excellent three-point shooting ability, and it is recommended to continue to improve. But focus on training mid-range jumpers."

"It starts with a mid-range spot-up shot, then a mid-range jumper with a defender in the way, and finally a mid-range catch-and-shoot."

Liu He read it carefully, and the trainer team analyzed it very well, as expected of a professional team.

In the next two months, Liu He trained hard under the guidance of the team.

By the end of September, Liu He felt that his physical fitness and mid-range shooting had improved a lot.
