Chapter 36: Are You Teaching Me to Do Things?

"Wait! Kobe, next time! I'm going to beat you next time! Garnett, the king of the wolves, yelled at Kobe Bryant after the game, and many people thought that a conflict would break out.

Then the two of them laughed and made a fuss, which made the staff on the sidelines breathe a sigh of relief.

"Kevin, you played great. The effect of weight gain is very good. O'Neill also patted the wolf king with a look of surprise, Garnett's talent is really good, his explosive power has risen a notch after hanging meat, and what is even more terrifying is that his speed has also become faster!

It's hard to imagine a 2.16-meter inner line that can change the direction of the frame and break through! You can also play the pull-up jumper.

"That's right, Shaq. I feel more empowered! ”

"Kevin, you'd better take it easy and gain weight in moderation. Not everyone can shave a weight of 150KG like Shaq. Bryant suggested.

"You're teaching me to do things?" The wolf king exhaled through his nostrils.

Kobe Bryant's forehead is bruised, and he will beat the wolf king into a husky in the next game.

...

After the game against the Timberwolves, the Lakers faced the challenge of the Clippers.

The Lakers are currently 9-1, and the Clippers on the other side have the same awesome record as the Lakers!

It's just not the other way around.

1 win, 10 losses.

"My goodness, last year was a team on the fringes of the playoffs, what happened?" The little fish is curious.

"Injury, their core 17+10 scorer last year Lloy Ott suffered a torn cruciate ligament and was out for the season after not playing a few games."

"In addition, the team also wants to execute the swing strategy, after all, this year's West will be hellish difficulty. Many teams have seen Spurs succeed and become championship contenders, and they are certainly tempted. ”

Spurs' swing success is not replicable.

Bryant knows this very well.

There are many teams that have been rotten in later generations, such as the 76ers, the 10,000-year tank team Suns, and a bunch of champions in the Timberwolves.

These teams have brought in a lot of talented rookies, but the end result is only the 76ers at best, becoming a playoff powerhouse.

Other teams are still struggling on the brink of the playoffs.

That's because winning and losing are a team culture, and when you draft a rookie who is on a team with a winning culture, of course he has a lot of winning qualities. And a player who keeps losing, no matter how good his strength and potential is, his fighting spirit will be wiped out.

It's hard to change a bad team culture, and it's unrealistic to try to save the team by messing around for a year or two and getting one or two players. This will only make losing a habit for the team, and they will end up struggling to stay out of the playoff range.

The Lakers showed no mercy to their sworn rivals in the city.

132:72。

Win by 60 points again!

Three straight home wins were completed, and the Lakers won their tenth game of the season.

"The Lakers have a chance to hit the opening streak!"

"The current opening streak is held by the 1948-1949 Celtics and the 1993-1994 Rockets with 15 wins! And with the Lakers' momentum, they have a lot of hope of accomplishing this legendary achievement. ”

"Will the Lakers win 70 again this season? In Pippen's absence, the Bulls won't be able to complete 70 wins, and even if they win 60, I will be surprised. ”

"If the Lakers win 70 wins, then the MVP of the season is bound to be produced in the Lakers!"

The media in Los Angeles is buzzing about the current Lakers.

The media in the East is entangled in the soap opera inside the Bulls, with Jordan, Zen Master, Pippen, Klaus, and team owner Jerry Reinsdorf making a lot of saliva.

Fortunately, Jordan's crazy single-handedness, the Bulls' record is not bad, otherwise the media would probably have to lift Chicago.

The current Bulls have countless contradictions, all of which have been carried by Jordan's own victory, but it may only take one spark to detonate this super bomb.

If the Bulls lose against the Magic, Lakers, Jazz, Houston and other direct championship rivals, then the overwhelming negative rhetoric will propel the Bulls to the forefront.

After winning the Clippers, the Lakers' next game will be the Jazz.

They'll head to the heart of the Utah Triangle for a rematch with the Jazz.

"We've cracked the Lakers' pressing tactics, and we're going to win this game!" Malone said confidently in front of the media.

"Mitch is more integrated into our team and we're not the same Jazz team we were at the start of the season." Stockton is calm and sophisticated.

Mitch Richmond still hasn't spoken, he's been a somewhat silent player, and he's only playing as a three-man now, which makes Rock, which is about to become a free man next season, even more reticent.

Without a championship, Richmond can't stay in Utah, where it's completely impossible to get the maximum contract amount.

"I'm going to play four away games." Kobe Bryant looked at the schedule behind him, a little helpless.

First they had to go to Utah to face the Jazz.

Then head to Miami to play against the Heat's Big Three.

Then there are back-to-back against the Celtics, who have turned around this year.

Finally, we headed to Philadelphia to face the 76ers.

4 playoff level powerhouses!

These four games, for any team, dare not say that they can win 100%, whether it is the current Lakers or any team in history.

This wave of away games will be the biggest obstacle for the Lakers to break the historical record and surpass the 15-game winning streak in the opening game.

Win over these four teams and return home to face the Raptors, and the Nuggets will have an easy time.

If they want to set a record, these four teams will be the biggest obstacles.

And Jazz is also the strongest among them!

If you lose the next game, you can't talk about it later.

The current Jazz are 7-2, and the only two teams to lose, one is the Lakers and the other is the Spurs.

The current Jazz and Spurs are tied for second place in the West.

But the Jazz's goal is definitely not only to be second in the West, this season's Malone is still an MVP-level power forward, averaging 28 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.8 turnovers per game. There is hardly a power forward in the league who has the dominance of Malone at the moment.

Such a phenomenon-level performance is rare in history!

Stockton also climbed a career-high in assists after Richmond joined, averaging 11.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, 15.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.1 blocks and 3.5 turnovers per game this season.

A terrifying number of assists!

A good passer inspires a shooter, and a top scorer likewise increases the number of assists for a ball carrier.

Richmond's scoring average slipped from 25.9 to 21 points per game, but his shooting percentage went up. Richmond's overall shooting percentage this season has risen to 47.8% from 45.4% last year!

Jerry Sloan thought about it repeatedly after the game against the Lakers, and added the Spurs and Timberwolves games as references, and already had a set of tactics in mind.

This battle!

Jazz is fully prepared!
