Chapter 235 Interesting Counterpoint
The Lakers finally passed the Trail Blazers, and the team didn't just win five in a row, but in this game, everyone realized their weaknesses and began to practice more targeted, and most importantly, everyone knew how much they could do when they played together.
The Lakers' record began to improve steadily, and the team also had a new look, allowing people to see a young and energetic team.
The next few opponents are very good, but the Lakers are winning with momentum and playing quite well, and they all passed the test without danger. Especially in the game against the Jazz, which was also the regular season of the season, Zhao Wei and their last game against the Jazz.
They were humiliated by the Jazz in the last game, and this time everyone was holding back their anger to get it back. But the Jazz are not good, Hayward, who has been unpopular in the first half, this guy has been selected as an All-Star, and his performance is also rising, and Ingram and LaVine have taught a lot of lessons, if Hayward's shooting was blocked by Porzingis at the last moment, it is difficult to say who will win and lose this game.
The matchup with the Jazz is very interesting, Zhao Wei is looking forward to the showdown with them, but this season can only play in the playoffs, and the Jazz team is sure to enter the playoffs, as for the Lakers, Zhao Wei They are still working hard, but Zhao Wei firmly believes that they will be able to step into the door of the playoffs, and it is time for this sleeping giant to step into the door of the playoffs.
The Nuggets have changed a lot recently, they have completely tapped Jokic's ability and completely determined Jokic's status on the team, and Jokic's injury has made Zhao Wei Zhao Wei easy to win their protection.
The Wizards and Celtics have not been in good shape recently, and Zhao Wei and they have also taken it. The Lakers are on a nine-game winning streak again. While the Lakers' nine-game winning streak may seem dramatic and lucky, they have won nine in a row, and their record has improved, and now they are in 11th place in the West. In front of them was the Kings led by Cousins.
But now is not the time for Zhao Wei and them to pay attention to these, because they are about to face an opponent, and that is the Knicks. This game is full of highlights.
Russell, the 15-year-old leader, is back on the home court of his old club Lakers for the first time after the trade, and Porzingis will also have the first chance to play against his old club.
Porzingis seems to have a good time with the Knicks, but for a young person, there should be an environment for young people to grow up, but what about the Knicks? Anthony and management have a grudge.
The following year, when Porzingis was about to play long, Phil Jackson actually made gambling reinforcements in order to produce results, and got Rose and Noah.
Porzingis' possession was left with little to spare. Porzingis' first season limiting him from being the Rookie of the Year was inconsistency, so to grow, he has to be more consistent, and in the summer he tried his best to improve himself, but when he came back to the court, the ball was gone, so how do you make him improve quickly. Porzingis' play has been good and bad. But after coming to the Lakers, Porzingis is completely like a different person, and now he has averaged 22 points per game with the Lakers. He is the leading scorer on the Lakers. Even in the league as a whole, such a score has to be at the top of the list.
But when it comes to the Knicks, the current Knicks are also different from before, since Russell arrived at the Knicks, the Knicks have also quickly changed their old appearance, they have only lost one game so far, and now the team is stable in the eighth place in the East, which is naturally much better than the tenth place when Porzingis was there, and at this time Knicks fans also began to scold Porzingis. All kinds of Porzingis tumor theories are noisy. That's the case in New York, if you play well, they can lift you up to the sky, but if you don't play well, then they can send you to hell.
This game is very important for both teams, not only for the record, but also for the battle of righteousness. Both men want to prove that they are not the team's cancer.
Russell challenged Zhao Wei after the last Knicks game: "Give up on me, you will regret it." I'm going to show you who's the cancer of the Lakers. ”
It's not that Russell still has feelings for the Lakers, Russell has a high ball quotient, but his emotional intelligence is not very good. And what he wants is a place where he can enjoy admiration, the Knicks are like the Lakers, the center of the American economy, and the Wall Street that drives countless young people crazy.
If Los Angeles is a gathering place for celebrities to play cards, then New York is a club for businessmen and the rich.
Russell taunted Zhao Wei, and he didn't plan to let go of the others, so he immediately made a war against Porzingis.
"Porzingis played well with the Lakers, but I'm better than him. Just look at the Knicks' current record. I'll show you how much of a difference there is between the second and the fourth. ”
The game is in Los Angeles. In the pre-match warm-up, the two teams were full of competition. The atmosphere on the field was very tense for a while.
Originally, both sides shot in their own half, but Russell suddenly ran to the midcourt and came to a long-range three-pointer, and the ball went into the net, which was wonderful. However, Russell threw the basket on Zhao Wei's side.
After scoring the goal, he raised his chin at Zhao Wei as if demonstrating.
Although Zhao Wei wants to help Porzingis grow his face in front of his old club and prove that I am better now. But Porzingis has so far been unusually low-key. Compared with him who originally talked a lot, the current Porzingis looks lethargic, which makes everyone very worried about his condition.
Both sides fielded their new starting line-ups. On the Lakers' side, Zhao Wei, LaVine, Ingram, Randle and Porzingis.
On the Knicks' side, Russell, Rose, Courtney Lee, Anthony and Noah.
Courtney Lee was originally playing at the point guard position, but the arrival of Russell pushed Rose to the point guard position, and Courtney Lee moved to the small forward position.
The five starts, the five alignments, are very interesting.
Zhao Wei and Russell are destined to be lifelong enemies. When Zhao Wei tried out, the two almost had a conflict. Although the relationship between the two looks good as Zhao Wei really joins the Lakers later, it is only based on the fact that Zhao Wei has not grown up, and he is still just a substitute who cannot threaten Russell's starting position. But with Russell's injury and Zhao Wei's start, his performance is getting better and better. Russell had a mustard in his heart.
The conflict between the two began to intensify. It's hard to say whose fault it is, because both of them have the same personalities, they both want to be the boss of this team, but they are destined to have only one boss in a team, just like O'Neal and Kobe Bryant back then. Of course, the current Zhao Wei and Russell are not as big names as them. But the two of them are only 20 years old and the other 21 years old.
Ross and LaVine, this matchup is equally exciting. In his prime, Rose was the youngest regular season MVP in the NBA before his injury. It is an almost omnipotent being, and has the fastest first step speed in the league. In one step, he flickered and moved in the air, easily tearing the opponent's defense to shreds. After the injury, Rose left a psychological shadow and has been difficult to return to the top, but after coming to the Knicks, Rose's state began to slowly recover.
LaVine is currently in the NBA league, in addition to Carter that year, another sky is the ultimate hanging figure. The glide in the air is extremely beautiful, and he is a two-time slam dunk champion. And in the last slam dunk contest, the showdown with Gordon was made a classic.
No one knows what kind of sparks will be generated when these two people meet.
Randall and Anthony. Both are physically strong and both have good technique. Of course, Randall's technique is much rougher than Anthony's, but both of them have supreme fighting spirit, which is also a highlight.
Porzingis and Noah are a story of spear and shield. See if Noah's shield is hard, or Porzingis's spear is sharper.
Compared to the other four matchups, the matchup between Ingram and Courtney Lee is much darker, but Courtney Lee is also an evergreen substitute. All the skills are pretty good, and Ingram is young, just like he was when he was struggling as a rookie. The alignment of the two should also be half a catty against eight taels.
"Zhao Wei, hello." Russell actually took the initiative to come over to greet Zhao Wei, but the look of a skinny smile was awkward.
"If you don't want to say hello to me, you don't have to come over. Anyway, you and I don't have a relationship of greetings. Zhao Wei said with a raised corner of his mouth.
"You..." Russell was about to get angry, but Zhao Wei noticed that he swallowed back the words that came to his lips again, and smiled, "After all, we used to be teammates." Although we play for different teams now, we are still friends! ”
"Friend." Zhao Wei looked at Russell happily and asked, "If it's a friend, can you do me a favor?" ”
"What's the busy?" Russell looked at Zhao Wei vigilantly.
"Let's win." Russell was like an egg stuck in his throat, knowing that this guy was shameless, but he didn't expect to be so shameless.
Russell couldn't hold back any longer, turned his head and snorted angrily: "Each is his master, we are enemies on the field." After speaking, he ignored Zhao Wei and returned to his position.
Zhao Wei smiled: "Pretend to be generous with me, then you have to be really generous." It seemed to be talking to himself, but Zhao Wei did not deliberately lower his voice. Russell heard word for word in his ears, a gloomy and ugly face.
I secretly swore in my heart that I must make Zhao Wei regret it. Let Zhao Wei kneel in front of him and beg him to let him go.
And at this time, the battle on the inside line has actually begun. Porzingis and Noah, who were standing in the center circle and ready to grab the ball, were fighting for an inch of land, and no one would let go. has been said twice by the referee, and the two still stubbornly resist some of the advantages they want to fight.
"Little guy, why are you so scrappy now. When I was in the Knicks, how could I not see you in such spirits. ”
"Little guy, what if you have a fighting spirit. Don't wait for a good strong team, you run to such a fish belly team, and you are not the boss of the team, are you stupid, are you stupid. ”
Like a chattering old woman, Noah constantly tests Porzingis' nerves. However, having been a teammate for nearly half a season, Porzingis is also clearly immune to Noah's trash talk.
I saw Porzingis quietly waiting for Noah to finish speaking, and then he said: "At the beginning, your teammates were embarrassed to talk about you, but now they tell you that your shooting is really ugly." was abandoned by the Bulls at the beginning, was it because the shooting was too ugly and scared away the audience? ”
Zhao Wei was impartial and happened to hear Porzingis's words, and he burst into laughter without holding back.
Noah's face was flushed, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry. Since his shooting entered the league, he has been teased by various experts, and has even been on the NBA's list of the ugliest shooting positions, and he is among the best.
Noah glared at Zhao Wei angrily, wanting to scare Zhao Wei. But was Zhao Wei scared by him so simply!
I'm not afraid that you will mess with me, but I am afraid that you will not mess with me.
Zhao Wei smiled, walked up to Porzingis and said, "Porzingis, how do you speak." How disrespectful this is to the seniors. How could the seniors be driven away because of their ugly shooting. The seniors are second in the rankings, and there are even uglier ones. ”
"Ahh Porzingis looked confused, and said in surprise, "Then why was he driven away." ”
"Again, it's not driven away." Zhao Wei said with a displeased face. And Noah on the side was very happy at this time, he didn't expect the Lakers to have such a soft egg, and he was scared like this by his own eyes. Noah thought about whether to train his eyes. In the future, when the opponent wants to shoot, as long as he stares, he can scare the opponent half to death. See how they score.
Noah was opening his mind, but Zhao Wei said next.
"It was the seniors who kicked the Bulls. Because the seniors and Rose's predecessors have loved each other for so many years, I didn't expect the Bulls to want Big Brother Ross anymore. Isn't this to let the seniors and Big Brother Ross live separately and endure the pain of separation! Therefore, the seniors resolutely followed to the Knicks. ”
"Oh!!" Porzingis dragged out a long note and looked at Noah strangely.
Noah had already woken up from yy, his head was full of black lines, and his face was gloomy and he was about to lower the water and glared at Zhao Wei angrily.
Zhao Wei smiled faintly, but he thought in his heart: "If you dare to provoke me, I won't be angry with you." ”
At this time, the depressed referee finally broke out and roared angrily: "You two give me honesty and separate." If you don't separate, I'll give you a technical foul by yourself. ”
These words seemed to separate Porzingis and Noah, but the people who heard Zhao Wei's words just now didn't think so. I wondered in my heart: "Will this referee be Zhao Wei's trust." How did you cooperate so well with Zhao Wei. (To be continued.) )
