In October, before the start of the preseason, the Lakers officially announced the team's 14-man roster for the new season.

Center: Marc Gasol, Chris Meim, D.J Mbenga.

Power forwards: Luke Walton, Ronnie Turiaf, Brian Cook.

Small forwards: Su Feng, Vladimir Radmanovich, Era Newberg.

Scoring guards: Sasha Vujasic, Marcus Evans, and Cobbie Carr.

Point guards: Morris Williams, Janero Pago.

DNP: Kobe Bryant.

Since in the NBA, according to regulations, when a player on the team determines the season's reimbursement, the team can apply for an injury special clause to the league. Before the start of the new season, Coach Lu deliberately registered only 14 players who can play.

In this way, when the season reaches the middle, the Lakers can use this injury special clause to sign a veteran who has been cut by other teams to replenish their combat power.

Because the injury special clause can ignore the salary cap and do not have to pay luxury taxes, for this Lakers, whose "line is not rich", this may be their biggest advantage compared to other teams before the start of the new season.

Anyway, it's almost the same as what those experts said before...

Even if you are a senior fan, you can't recognize the Lakers' lineup for the new season.

On the 14th, at Staples, the Lakers ushered in the team's first preseason game of the new season.

As a result, although Su Feng, who appeared in Staples for the first time in the first half of the Lakers' No. 23 jersey, scored 27 points for the Lakers in the first half, in the second half, under the Jazz substitutes' all-round and no blind spots, the Lakers' substitutes also proved to the world with their strength. How bright the vision of the people who thought that this Lakers was composed of Su Feng and a group of NBDL players was.

The next day, the Los Angeles Times simply quoted the comments of former Lakers legend "Magic" Johnson to describe the current Lakers in this way:

"What is the level of the Lakers now? Mim, Mben and others can play centers in the Lakers. Can they play? Can't play, don't you know if you don't have this ability?

When Sue led the team to establish a 15-point lead in the first half, they were able to be turned over by the Jazz's substitute in the second half. How do you tell me, how does this explain?

The Lakers will have 6 preseason games next, and what?

Lose the Mavericks, lose the Suns, lose the Spurs, lose the Mosaic, and finally don’t even want the face!"

On a certain Chinese pounce forum, Chinese fans described the current Lakers as such:

Su Zilong killed seven in seven out at Changbanpo.

The Lakers players in his arms are also very successful.

Because when Su Feng waved his spear and killed in the enemy's camp, they not only did not cry or make a fuss, but they even would occasionally come out of Su Feng's arms and shout "FGNB"!

I have to say that when it comes to being talented, it is indeed because Chinese fans can play with memes.

However, the opposite of what these fans think is...

In the first preseason game of the Lakers' new season, Su Feng instead believed that his teammates had performed well.

After all, just to use this Jazz’s substitute lineup...

If any substitutes who are not the Lakers have super-level performance in this game, then in the second half, the Lakers will not only be as simple as the backlash?

Yi Jianlian, Jefferson, Brewer, Collins......

If you don't understand, ask...

Is Jeslom deliberately showing off to the Lakers how thick the Jazz's lineup is?

On the 16th, the Lakers continued to play against the Mavericks at home.

As a result, what is worse than the Jazz leading the first battle is...

In this game, Su Feng scored 29 points for the Lakers in the first half of 9 of 11 shots...

At the intermission, looking at the 73-46 scoreboard of Staples Center......

Countless lake honeys who were hoping that Su Feng could lead this Lakers out of the quagmire were silent.

“Su’s scoring ability is truly unrivaled.

But he obviously overestimated his teammates."

After the game, watching the Lakers who lost to the Mavericks by 30 points at home, American media commented.

On the 18th, when the news that the Lakers even lost 25 points in the Suns, who were absent from McGrady, came back to Los Angeles...

For a moment, even Old Bass, who was still flirting with the nurse in the hospital, couldn't sit still!

"Has Su's current mentality affected by our recent losing streak?" On this day, Old Bass, who came to Kupchek to ask about the Lakers' recent situation, asked with great concern.

"To be honest, boss, you ask me now, and I don't know who to ask." Kupchek said helplessly as he looked at Old Bass with a wry smile.

"Mickey, are you sure that you will do your best to do what Sue has made to you this summer?" After thinking for a while in his mind, Old Bass asked.

Upon hearing this, Kupchek, who has been greeting his family by the Humilies recently, said: "Boss, I am not the kind of fool who is so stupid that he will have a quarrel with the star in his family for his rights.

This summer, I can touch my conscience and swear that every signing we have come according to Su's opinion."

"Okay, as long as Su's mentality is not affected.

After all, I have no results requirements for the Lakers this season.

Mickey, you have to pay more attention to Su next.

Because he is our most precious asset this season." Old Bass, who patted Kupchek's shoulder and turned around and was about to continue teasing the nurse's sister, said meaningfully.

And at this time, Kupchek also knew...

Old Bass' implication is...

He hopes that Kupchek can take time to care more about Su Feng before the regular season arrives.

Because when the Lakers substitutes have proved that they are really not good...

Whether Su Feng is happy on the court is the most important thing for this Lakers.

But on the 19th...

Just as Kupchek was still thinking about how to help Su Feng share the pressure, looking at Kupchek standing at the entrance of the training hall, Su Feng looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "You should be under a lot of pressure recently?"

After hearing this, after being stunned, how could Kupchek, who is from Yalishan University, still hold back?

He looked at Su Feng with a deep face, and saw Kupchek pouring out the bitter water in his stomach towards Su Feng.

no way.

In the NBA, as the first to bear the blame, when a team has various problems, in addition to the team's head coach, the general manager of a team is definitely the one who gets the most criticized.

Therefore, after patiently listening to the grievances in Kupchek's heart, Su Feng also patted his shoulder and sighed: "It's really hard for you during this period, Mickey."

Seeing this, Kupchek, who had recovered slightly, found out in a trance...

He should have solved the problem for Su Feng...

At this moment, he was like a little resentful woman...

"Su, I just lost my composure.

Actually, I came to you today to see if your mentality is affected by our recent losing streaks..." Kupchek, whose old face turned red in an instant, said.

Before Kupchek finished speaking, Su Feng waved his hand and interrupted him, "Mickey, in the NBA, even the Heat from that year, dared not say that he could win every game.

In fact, through recent games, I have become increasingly determined to make our determination to enter the first half of the Western Conference in the new season.

However, we still need time to grow now.

So, you don't have to worry about the upcoming new season.

Because I promise you...

After this season, how much grievances you have suffered at this moment, and how much praise you will receive at that time."

Opposite Su Feng's four eyes.

Looking at the smile hanging on the corner of Su Feng's mouth that made him look like a spring breeze...

At this moment, Kupchek couldn't help but think of the legendary figure who cultivated himself step by step...

"Mickey, as the decision-maker behind a team, we can only see the direction of the team's progress by keeping calm at all times.

Because anxiety and impatience cannot change reality.”

In the end, in the seven preseason games of the Lakers' new season, the Lakers were very disappointing to win only the game with the Mosaic.

Moreover, facing the mosaic that announced that the new No. 1 pick in the season will be reimbursed in September this year...

In the last quarter, if Williams hadn't scored three consecutive three-pointers...

The Lakers may even start the new season with a preseason record of losing all seven games.

Looking at these seven games...

Although Su Feng, who only played in the first half in every game, dispelled people's previous doubts about his condition...

However, before the start of the regular season, several major sports media in the United States expressed such doubts about the Lakers:

Can this Lakers really enter the upper half of the Western Conference as Su Feng said?

"Well, we all know that Sue's team has always had a tradition of not performing well in preseasons.

But.......
