Official: Adu finally airborne the Los Angeles Lakers and will wear the No. 1 jersey in the new season

Last season, the Los Angeles Lakers, which were loved and watched by fans, were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves, the sixth-ranked Minnesota Timberwolves, and were terminated in the first round of the playoffs early.

At the season summary meeting, General Manager Pelinka promised to build a competitive new team around James and Doncic.

So, we can see that in the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft, the Lakers selected forward Adu Tiero from the University of Arkansas with the 36th pick.

The Lakers' initial second round pick was the No. 55 draw, but the management did not compromise on this. They quickly launched their actions, cleverly used the No. 55 sign in their hands, and combined it with a certain amount of cash to negotiate a deal with the Bulls. In the end, with excellent negotiation skills and careful planning, he successfully exchanged the Bulls for the No. 45 draw.

But the Lakers' "ambition" is much more than that. They are still not satisfied with the choice range that the No. 45 sign can bring. Immediately afterwards, the Lakers took decisive action again, using the No. 45 draw and cash as bargaining chips to start a new round of trading negotiations with the Timberwolves. After a fierce game, the Lakers achieved their goal again, and exchanged the Timberwolves with a more advanced pick.

At present, Lakers rookie Adu Tiero is sure to wear the No. 1 jersey to compete for the Lakers. Interestingly, the last player to wear the No. 1 jersey for the Lakers was Tangiero Russell. Later, the Lakers officially released the news, and at the same time, Thiero's father also confirmed the matter to the outside world.

Adu Tiero, a new Lakers, is a very talented forward player. He has a standard and perfect figure that suits the basketball court, and his legs are long and powerful, as if he contains endless explosive power. His super long arm span is a powerful weapon for him on the court, just like a pair of flexible Gibbon arms, which can easily interfere with opponents' passing and shooting when defending, and expand his attack range when attacking.

Moreover, his athletic ability is simply overwhelming. On the court, he is like an agile cheetah, with an extremely fast start speed and can often rush to the opponent's basket like an arrow from the string when the team launches a fast attack. Once he receives a pass from his teammate, he will make full use of his outstanding bounce and strength, jump high, and complete the end in an efficient and violent aesthetic way, dunking the basketball into the basket, which will attract cheers from the audience. There is no doubt that his joining has made the Lakers competitive again.
