"Guys, I know a lot of media right now that our team's rookie hits the rookie wall." Harris spoke before the game.

For Harris, it's a game you can't lose! If they lose to the Cavaliers, the Lakers will lose their home game for the second time in a row.

The second consecutive defeat is something that the Lakers have not experienced this season. And with O'Neal out of the picture, there is a good chance that this will come true.

The first team in the league, losing two consecutive home games. This is a devastating blow to the morale of the young team of the Lakers. As a manager, he's going to try to keep that from happening. Moreover, the Lakers team has experienced too few losses this season, and Harris is very worried that the Lakers, players who have not tasted failure, will collapse because of losses.

It's very likely that a lot of the youth team start the season on a high pitch and then suddenly lose their voice in the middle of the season.

So boosting morale is a very important thing, and most of the Lakers' current main players are newcomers. The characteristic of the recruit's egg is that morale comes and goes quickly.

When morale is high, even Fisher can play like a star. Once morale is low and the wind is not smooth, these recruits are the most likely to collapse.

Just like Big Ben in the last game, it would certainly be unrealistic to say that he was 100% crushed by Kemp. It was a few beatings at the beginning, and morale was low, which led to a series of routs in the follow-up.

Morale is so important to this Lakers!

"You know, we're at the top of the league! Our record is comparable to last year's 72-win Bulls! Our offensive and defensive efficiency is among the best! ”

"We are a strong team, we must have the confidence of a strong team. Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged. ”

"It's time to prove it to all! Rookie Wall? Inexistent. The home crowd is cheering outside, waiting for you to play! Don't let them down! ”

"Also, in this game, who didn't perform to my satisfaction, hehe." Harris sneered, the corners of his mouth curled in an arc.

Lakers players, including Kobe, couldn't help but shudder.

No, don't offend the careful-eyed coach!

This game must be won!

...

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Here is the live commentary of the American professional basketball brought to you by TNT! I'm Aini Johnson II! "Ani Johnson II is a veteran of TNT, having been with Turner Sports TNT since 1989 as a commentator.

"Good evening, everyone, this is Gail Goodrich." Goodrich, West's backcourt partner, was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame last summer, a 71-72 championship, a five-time All-Star, and a first-team All-Star team. As a Lakers celebrity, he was invited to be a guest at the game.

At present, TNT is still much smaller than NBC.

"Tonight's live stream is brought to you by the two of us! Enjoy a wonderful evening. Gail, which side do you like more in this game? ”

"Lakers, of course!"

"Oh? You must know that they just lost at home to the SuperSonics, and everyone could see in the last game that the players in the team are not in good shape. Why are you so sure about them? ”

"Too many Lakers players are rookies, they don't know how to allocate physical energy reasonably, and most of the long season has passed, plus the consumption of the All-Star Game, and the past few games have been traveled back and forth to Canada and other away games. It's normal to have ups and downs. However, I believe that they will be able to adjust quickly, after all, they are a group of young people, and they are very hot! ”

"Young people are on fire! Right! ”

"Another thing is that Cleveland is a team that is struggling on the brink of the playoffs, their star is the guard, and the Lakers' strongest point is the outside defense. Kobe Bryant and Eddie and Bruce's defense, even the Bulls will have some headaches. As long as the game is going on, Kobe Bryant will destroy Trill Brandon. ”

"Gail is very optimistic about Kobe."

"Kobe Bryant has all the qualities of a superstar, and he's going to be the greatest star of any era. If he was with the Lakers in the 1970s, then I would have had to play him off the bench. Gail Goodrich made an exaggerated analogy.

"Gail, don't be modest. I'm sure you and Kobe Bryant are paired in the backcourt, and projection alone is enough to destroy most teams! "As a commentary partner, I definitely want to help tout each other.

"Let's look at the starting lineups of both sides, the Lakers' lineup is still the same, it seems that a loss did not make Harris adjust the lineup."

"The starting lineup of the Cavaliers: PG Trill Brandon, SG Bobby Phils, SF Chris Mills, PF Teylon Hill C, Mark West."

"The Cadets are trying to replicate last season's performance and make the playoffs. They are currently 28-22 and seventh in the East. ”

"Trill Brandon has been a key factor in their success, the 1.80m point guard with excellent breakaway ability. He averaged 19.5 points and 6.3 assists per game. ”

Behind the Cavaliers are the 26-23 Washington Bullets and the 22-24 Orlando Magic. These three teams are strong contenders for the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Knights currently have a slight upper hand. ”

"Speaking of magic, it's a pity. A promising youth team with two superstars has been reduced to the point of competing for the playoffs in just one season. They just fired coach Brian Hill. ”

"It's a big deal, and it was Brian Hill who led the Sharks and Pennies to take out Jordan and make it to the Finals. But the management actually put the hat of the current team's defeat on his head and swept the meritorious coach out of the house. ”

"The last massacre of the Bulls was so ruthless that Jordan seemed to have a fury in his heart. Since his comeback, it's rare to see Michael play like this, and he literally eats pennies alive. ”

"I suspect he's treating pennies like Kobe Bryant in his heart."

"Haha, it's very possible."

"Penny has been really poor this season, the team has no win rate and no data of his own. Not only was he left behind by Grant Hill, but he was also chased by Kobe. ”

"Hopefully new coach Ricky Adubatu can make some changes to this Magic team!"

"In addition, the Indiana Pacers' Reggie Miller is returning from injury recently, and perhaps they will also join the ranks of the playoff race under Larry Brown."

"In this era, it's really hard to get into the playoffs~ Every team has more or less stars, and even superstars are competing for playoff spots."

"And our Lakers, in such an era, are at the top of the league, ranking first. Doesn't that show how powerful we are? ”
