Chapter 754: Scott's Decision
"Defeated!"
"Alas, alas. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Basketball Association, in Chen Lao's office, Lu Zhanyun, Xiong Jin, and Zhang Fang couldn't help but sigh.
The Lakers' opponent was not too strong, the Lakers had a chance to win, but for various reasons, they finally lost the game, with a score of 108:99 and a loss of 9 points.
In the final quarter, the Lakers fought hard to catch up, but the hole in front of them was too big, and they lost too many rebounds, and finally failed to catch up and lost the game.
"Winning or losing a game doesn't matter. Chen Lao looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "What I'm worried about is whether the Lakers will continue to play this fast offensive tactic." If you hit, when will the chemical reaction take place. If you don't fight, what will you do?"
"yes. Lu Zhanyun and the others nodded one after another.
That's the biggest problem, and it's a conundrum for the Lakers.
Meanwhile......
The outside world has also spoken out, and major media have reported on the Lakers' game, and raised the same question as Chen Lao's worries, that is, what should the Lakers do now?
In any case, there are many worries about the future of the Lakers, and the absence of Hibbert is not the biggest problem, the big question is whether the Lakers can find a path that suits them.
Just like the Warriors, many people used to think that their lineup configuration was problematic, there were huge hidden dangers, and it was impossible for a small lineup to win the championship.
But through their tireless efforts, the efforts of the coaches and the players, they have found a practical path that suits them, and the dream of a championship has been realized.
The question now for the Lakers is how to find a path that suits them.
The Lakers have no shortage of players who can play, nor are they short of superstars, based on Chen Feng and Kobe, even if there is no Hibbert, the lineup is definitely not bad. But the lineup and record are sometimes not equal, just like the Knicks, the lineup is not bad, but the record is not good.
Why?
Perhaps, what is lacking is a path that suits you, a set of tactics that can give full play to your own strength!
......
After playing in Denver, the Lakers flew back to Los Angeles overnight, because they had to sit at home to face the Thunder the next day, and the time was very tight.
Twelve a.m., Los Angeles, Scott's apartment.
"Ugh......" Scott sighed, lit a cigarette, sat down on the couch, rubbed his temples, and felt a little headache.
As soon as he came back, he was ready to rest, but he couldn't sleep while lying down, so he just got up and smoked a cigarette to think about what to do next. The doubts of the outside world are actually his own questions, and after today's game, he also has to think about whether the "fast offensive and defensive system" will continue.
I don't know how long it took, until the window was already white, Scott finally stopped thinking and looked out the window, his eyes became firm, he had made a decision.
After a hurried shower and breakfast, Scott rushed to Staples.
It was only five o'clock in the morning, and Scott thought he had arrived early enough, but when he arrived at Staples, he found that the door to the training arena on the basement level had been opened, and someone was playing inside.
"So early, could it be Kobe?" Scott frowned, intending to go in and take a look.
He had heard that Kobe Bryant sometimes went to the training arena early to train, but Scott decided to persuade Kobe to go home and rest, Kobe Bryant is 37 years old after all, he only played one game yesterday, rushed back overnight, and tonight he has to face the Thunder, so he can't fight so hard.
But as soon as he walked to the arena, Scott stopped, a little surprised, because he saw from a distance that the person in the arena was not Kobe, but Chen Feng.
At this point, most people are still sleeping, even if they are professional players, most of them will not get up so early to train, at least six or seven o'clock.
But Chen Feng came so early, that is, when others started training, he had already trained for at least an hour.
"Coach. Chen Feng spotted Scott and stopped training.
"Oh, Chen, you're so early. Scott walked towards Chen Feng with a smile, "Chen, why don't you take a little rest, there is still a game tonight." ”
"I can't sleep. Chen Feng said, "Moreover, I am used to getting up at this point every day to train, and I will naturally wake up at this time, and I can't sleep if I want to." ”
"Every day?" Scott's heart was shocked, and his eyes changed when he saw Chen Feng, the team's routine training Chen Feng was always the earliest to come and the latest to go. Scott also praised Chen Feng for his diligence more than once, but he didn't expect that Chen Feng was even more diligent than he imagined.
"No wonder he's so good, anyone's success is not accidental, there is no luck, the most important thing is hard work. It's just that, many times, you don't see it when others are working hard. Scott said secretly in his heart, patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, and smiled, "It's good to be diligent, but you should also pay attention to your body, go back early to rest, and there will be a game tonight." ”
"Well, I'll be pretty much there after a little more practice. Chen Feng smiled.
Scott nodded and walked to his office.
Outside the office, there was another "bang" sound of a basketball jumping on the floor, Scott listened to it, a smile appeared on his face, and his eyes became more and more determined, with such a player, what else did he have to worry about, what else to fear?
Sitting down, Scott opened his briefcase, took out his computer, and got to work......
......
Seven and a half p.m., Staples Center Arena.
Today, the Lakers sit at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder, this is the second meeting between the two sides in a week, the last time they met, the Lakers won the victory, but paid a heavy price, Hibbert was injured, causing the Lakers a lot of trouble.
That's a sad thing, and it's the same for the Thunder.
After the game, the league studied the footage and imposed a three-game ban on Adams and a $2,000 fine. In other words, Adams is still in a suspension. So Adams simply didn't come today, for fear of triggering the anger of the fans.
At half past seven, the game began.
The Thunder's Adams was suspended, and the starting center was replaced by Kanter, power forward Ibaka, small forward Durant, scoring guard Roberson, and playmaking guard Westbrook. The center has changed, and the others have not changed, and they are still a few regular starters.
But when they saw the Lakers' starting five tigers, whether it was the fans at the scene, media reporters, or the Thunder, they were all stunned.
Because, the Lakers are still the five people in the last game, and Larry Nance Jr. turned out to be the starter again!
