Chapter 312 Alliance Situation (Skipping the Asian Cup)
PS: The original intention of writing the Asian Cup plot was that I wanted to express my personal opinion, but the lack of temporary planning and fluke mentality led to the failure to write it well, so I made a difficult decision to skip the specific plot of the Asian Cup.

……

On September 9, after dealing with many things, Tianyang returned to the United States with Farage.

There are still nearly two months before the start of the new season, but he only has half a day off before planning to start training.

When he announced his return on Twitter, Kobe, Ingram, and Tatum sent out joint training invitations at the same time.

Considering that it would be too troublesome to choose a place, he summoned three people to gather at the Lakers training base.

Afterwards, Kuzma and Hart also retweeted that they would come, making up half of the Lakers in an instant.

Because of the proximity, Tianyang was the first to arrive. After practicing shooting alone for 20 minutes, Tatum arrived panting.

Seeing this situation, Tianyang smiled and said, "Your Uncle Ke is still on the way, don't worry."

"That's good, that's good." Tatum immediately relaxed, walked to Tianyang, shook his head and said, "Brother, I watched your game a while ago, and you were too bullying! Especially when you hit that The South Korean team didn’t even shoot a single three-pointer, and even called their strongest players to make fouls, making it difficult for others to make three fouls in the first quarter. You led by 3 points at halftime, it’s really bullying.”

"Small, who asked them to pretend to be the best?" Tianyang said while pinching Tatum's arm, "Your muscle gain effect is not bad, you have practiced a lot during this time."

"Hey." Tatum was praised and scratched his head with a smile, "You're not here, Uncle Ke took me to train with Kuzma and Ingram every two days, now that you're back, we have to relax... ..."

Before the words fell, a voice suddenly sounded, "Really? He's back, you can't be lazy!"

Looking at the source of the sound, I saw Kobe striding over. Judging from his appearance, he was bigger than when he just announced his comeback, but this time he was strong, not fat.

Kobe walked up to the two of them, patted Tianyang's arm, and said with a feeling of displeasure, "Your Asian Cup, try not to fight in the future, those South Korean players fouled too violently, colliding at every turn, and what Play hug wrestling, if you get hurt, you can only regret it."

"Did you watch the game too?" Tatum laughed. "The criminals are useless. The big brother reacts so quickly. They even struggle to pull the hem of their clothes. They can only foul in the backcourt. It's too embarrassing."

"The Olympics and the World Cup are definitely going to be played." Tianyang waved his hand, "Okay, let's start training. I haven't been able to find a good venue for the past 20 days. I'm almost exhausted."

After speaking, the three of them went to the weight room to start muscle training.

Just after lifting a few sets of dumbbells, Ingram, Kuzma, and Hart also arrived.

"Brother, you have been threatened!" Hart rushed into the door, waving his mobile phone towards Tianyang, "Simmons said that in the next Asian Cup match, he will summon the strongest players in Australia to beat your Chinese team mercilessly."

"Sounds a little angry." Ingram laughed. "I read the news that it was predicted that Australia would win. In the end, you led the team to a big reversal and a lore, and abruptly snatched the championship."

"It's just the Asian champion, why should Simmons be so excited?" Kuzma shook his head slightly, "Wait until the Olympic Games, everyone will realize the strength of the US team, and Australia will compete for the second place at most."

This is true. For now, even if other countries in the world form a team, it is difficult to beat the US team.Only by combining Nowitzki, Gasol, Ginobili, Parker and other players in their peak period can they fight against the US team. After all, the US team has Durant, Curry, Irving and other players.

Thinking about it carefully, Ginobili led the team to defeat the American "Dream Five" in 02, and the American "Dream Six" in 04. It's really awesome!
"Well, the U.S. team is your strongest opponent, just like our Lakers' strongest opponent is the Warriors." Tatum put down the dumbbells and put his hands on his hips, "If I meet you in the international arena in the future, I will not show mercy .”

"No, no, no!" Hart shook his head and waved his hands, "The Lakers' strongest opponent is the Celtics."

What Hart said, Tianyang probably knows what kind of logic it is.

Just the day before he returned to the United States, the Celtics reached a deal with the Cavaliers, sending Thomas Jr., Jack Crowder, Ante Zizic and two draft picks to get Kyrie Irving.

With the addition of Irving, the Celtics point guard has been greatly enhanced. With the addition of Hayward, who just signed in the summer, and Horford, who signed last year, the Big Three have been successfully formed, and there seems to be no shortcomings.

At the same time, the Celtics also have many potential rookies.

Under the guidance of the famous coach Stevens, they will definitely be able to exert extremely strong combat power.

It can be said that all Celtics have the strength to wrestle with the Warriors.

"The Rockets are also strong. I know Paul very well. He and Harden are very threatening to us. It is definitely not the situation last year where we let us slaughter." Kobe joined the discussion after lifting the last set of dumbbells.

"There are still rumors outside that Carmelo Anthony's next home is very likely to be the Thunder. In that case, the Thunder will also form the Big Three, plus the old strong team Spurs, the competition in the West is very fierce." Kuzma added.

Tianyang nodded and said solemnly: "The Timberwolves are not weak. With Jimmy Butler joining them, they have found a tough player and are likely to have a place in the playoffs. In the East, Simmons is back, Mark Fultz The combat power is also very strong, and the 76ers are also a big threat."

After Tianyang finished speaking, everyone in the room realized that not only the Warriors, Celtics, Rockets, Thunder, and Spurs were coming, but also the Timberwolves and 76ers were ready to attack at any time.

It can be said that the Lakers are surrounded by enemies on all sides. Whether it is to enter the playoffs or compete for the championship, they need to play at a very high level. It is not just a day or two, but a whole season.

Seeing the silence of the crowd, Hart blinked and asked, "Hearing what you said, what should we do?"

Kobe smiled, patted Hart on the shoulder, and said calmly: "It's very simple, keep training, implement every tactic seriously, put in your best efforts, and wait for the results to happen."

Kobe has played for so many years. He has won championships and lost finals. He has all kinds of experiences. What he said is definitely based on experience.

"I have an idea, listen to it." Tianyang decided to adjust the Lakers' thinking for the new season in view of the current league situation. "We focus on training in advance, preferably starting tomorrow. By doing this, we can save a lot of running-in time in official games and avoid unexpected losses, so that we can be more calm when we wait until the end of the season."

"I think it's feasible. Hart, you need to practice as soon as possible. At least the fixed-point shooting and catch-and-shoot shooting must be threatening. Then Tianyang can go to play point guard to deal with emergencies." Kobe nodded.

Everyone at the scene understood this.

Rose's injury history is a hidden danger, otherwise he would not have been signed by the Lakers with a mid-level contract.

In the event of a problem, Rondo alone will definitely not be able to handle it.

"Our rookies should have no objections." Ingram looked around, Tatum, Kuzma, and Hart nodded one after another, "I just don't know what the other veterans think, if..."

Before the words were finished, there was a burst of noise outside the training room.

"Where did those guys go? Why didn't you see anyone?"

"It's probably in the weight room, the door is open."

"This guy Tianyang, he didn't call me for training!"

"Yes, it's too disrespectful to SwaggP!"

Hearing these voices, everyone in the training room looked at each other and smiled.

Rose, Carter, Rondo, and Nick Young are all here!
