186 million dollars in three years! The only alliance! Thick eyebrow returns to the peak, but Lao Zhan has to tie himself in a cocoon

In the new season, with a new pattern, many young teams in the league have risen to the top, and the championship competition pattern is quite different from that in the past - Huazi of the Timberwolves, Dongqi of the Lone Rangers, Tatum of the Green Army, and Halliburton of the Pacers are all young men under the age of 26. No matter who wins the championship in the end, the established fact that "a new king stands" cannot be changed! The Los Angeles Lakers created a championship team with Zhan Mei, but was eliminated by the defending champion Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs! Rather than saying that the Lakers are vulnerable, Denver Nuggets are indeed the Lakers' natural killer. In the words of fans, as long as Zhan Mei keeps healthy, the Lakers will continue to upgrade their lineup to win the championship!

Three years, 186 million US dollars, heavy eyebrow

Returning to last year's offseason, the Lakers made a great effort to complete a number of signings and signings. Every penny was carefully calculated, demonstrating the team's ambition. At the same time, the Lakers sent a three-year, $186 million, super top salary contract extension in advance to Numei. The original contract of Nongmei still has two years and 84 million dollars left. This contract means to lock the peak period of Nongmei in the next five years in advance, and also means that the Lakers are eager to attack the championship with Zhan Mei as the core. From another perspective, Lao Zhan is getting older and older, and the Lakers also hope that this big contract can solve the worries of thick eyebrows, and take the torch from Lao Zhan to carry the team forward!

Thick eyebrows carry a heavy load forward, fulfilling their mission! During the regular season, Shumei played 76 games, averaging 35 minutes. He averaged 24.7 points+12.6 rebounds (the third in the league)+3.5 assists+1.2 steals+2.3 blocks (the fourth in the league). Even though she doesn't dominate the ball like Jokic, Enbid, Brother Alphabet and other top insiders, even though she is often complained by fans that "her score is not as good as the Emperor, her organization is not as good as Jokic, and her dominance in the restricted area is not as good as Brother Alphabet", even she is not a regular on the MVP list, but it is undeniable that maintaining her health is the greatest benefit for the Lakers, He is the master key of the Lakers' interior, and has great influence on both ends of attack and defense!

Thick eyebrows are selected as the best two formations+one defense, the only one in the league

The NBA officially announced the major awards of the regular season one after another. Although she has mixed feelings, she can be regarded as a big winner! In the DPOY selection, she got 4 first ballots, 10 second ballots and 33 third ballots, with a total score of 83 points, ranking fourth in the league, just behind Gobel (433 points), Vinbama (245 points) and Adebayor (91 points). In the selection of the best defensive team of the year, Shumei won 60 first votes and 31 second votes, and was selected as the best defensive team of the year with 151 points, along with Gobel, Wenbanyama, Adebayor and Little Jones. In the selection of the best lineup of the year, Ruo Mei won one first vote, 65 second votes and 30 third votes, and pushed Lao Zhan (164 points) to the third best lineup of the year with 230 points, and was successfully elected to the second best lineup of the year!

At the same time, Shumei also created a number of divine level records. According to the statistics on the NBA official website, this is the third time that Ruo Mei has been selected as the best defensive player in his career. He becomes the sixth player in the history of the Lakers to be selected as the best defensive player for many times. The top five players are Kobe Bryant, Cooper, West, Jabbar and Chamberlain. In another statistics, Shumei is the only player in the league who has been selected as the best player of the year in the second round of the best lineup+the best defensive team this season. It's better than the MVP superstars like Brother Alphabet, Jokic, SGA and so on! How high is the attack and defense level of thick eyebrows? This was vividly reflected in the first round match between Shumei and Jokic - after five playoffs, Shumei averaged 27.8 points+15.6 rebounds+4 assists+1.6 blocks, with a hit rate of 63.4%; In contrast, Jokic averaged 28.2 points+16.2 rebounds+9.8 assists+1.5 steals, with a 59% shooting rate.

Thick eyebrow returns to the peak, but old Zhan is trapped

Thick eyebrow returns to the peak, and Lao Zhan has not yet stepped down from the altar. This season, Lao Zhan played 71 games, averaging 25.7 points+7.3 rebounds+8.3 assists+1.3 steals+2.1 three-point shots, with a shooting rate of 54% and a three-point shooting rate of 41% (a career high). He completed the 411 project and was selected as the best team of the year for 20 consecutive seasons! It is easy to see from the fact that the Lakers fired coach Ham that the team will not doubt Zhan Mei's ability to attack the championship because of the first round exit. On the contrary, the Lakers will continue to attack the championship with Zhan Mei as the core! But there is a premise, that is, the Lakers have to solve three major problems: first, finalize a new coach; Second, finalize the renewal of Lao Zhan's contract; Third, find another all-star helper for Zhan Mei!

These three problems seem simple, but actually they are interlinked, and Zhan is the most important part of the Lakers' solution! Take the selection of the coach as an example, the most popular candidate was the inexperienced Reddick, the partner of the old Zhan podcast program, who was extremely thoughtful; Take the contract renewal as an example. According to the American media, Lao Zhan may jump out of the player option and seek a three-year contract worth 164 million dollars, while looking for a job for his son; Take the recruitment as an example, the Lakers have had a tragic case of the failure of introducing Wei Shao. If you want to trace back to the origin, the key is that the new star comes to the Lakers to help Zhan, which is too difficult. To say the least, if 40 year old Zhan is still the actual first core of the Lakers, the coach and the team GM, it will undoubtedly be self handicapped, and it will be difficult for the Lakers to build a competitive championship team! Therefore, if Lao Zhan wants to win the championship, he must learn to sacrifice. He must also waste the final peak period and lose all the games! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave a comment and discuss it.
