"Ho ho ho! The sky is so bright and so wide! Our Lakers have won again~" Xiao Yu hummed a song and jumped into the training hall.

"Yo~ practicing?" The little fish ran to the side of Old Curry, who was practicing three points.

Curry Sr. is a good old man, and with a simple smile, he has already mingled with this group of players from the Lakers.

"yes. Teach you two tricks? ”

"Yes, yes!" Xiaoyu began a three-point learning journey with the old Curry, the current three-point shooting rate of Xiaoyu is 37.8%, can shoot 1.4 three-pointers per game, plays an average of 13.5 minutes per game, and can score 5.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

Curry averaged 28.9 minutes, 14.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists per game, and a three-point shooting rate of 42.6%.

The playing time in these few games has decreased, but the efficiency has been greatly improved, and the Lakers bench players Fisher and Horry can open up space for him, and the most important thing for the pitcher is space. Curry averaged 10.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 13.8 minutes per game in these games with the Lakers, shooting 44.5% from three-point range.

With fewer shots, it is easier to play and more efficient. This made Curry Sr. very happy. Looking for such a fight, Curry feels that he can still play for 5 years!

Kobe Bryant looked at the happy Fisher and Curry and smiled slightly.

Jerry West's deal, he has never suffered a loss.

That's right.

Except for being the general manager of the Grizzlies, except for the Gasol deal. The Lakers didn't suffer a loss in that transaction, it can be said that it was blood-earned, and West was completely an internal ghost! Gradually, Kobe Bryant's second second championship in a row, West really did his best for the Lakers. Even if he was swept away, he did not forget to revive the Lakers.

At this time, the Lakers are very happy, and probably the only one who feels big is their coach - Silver Fox Harris.

Harris looked at the footage of the Houston game, and he frowned heavily as he watched the Houston win over the Bulls.

It's too strong, and Olajuwon is too strong.

32+16+4+4+5。 It's like a god, and in Barkley's absence, one person blew up Longley and Rodman. Jordan couldn't get into the restricted area that game, and only scored 26 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists on 8-of-25 shooting.

This is not Jordan's normal style of play at all, but when he rushed inside and was taken by Olajuwon a few times, he had to give up the most efficient scoring layup, coupled with Jim Jackson and Mario Elie, two top guards blocking defenders, Jordan can be said to be completely locked up.

The Lakers' current roster, in the absence of O'Neal, is actually somewhat similar to the Bulls. They are all top-tier perimeter defenders, with mid-to-upper interior defenses.

But Olajuwon is on the court, and there is not much difference between an upper-average interior defense and no defense, and Ewing can score 34 points on the Lakers' head, so what about Olajuwon? 40+？ 50+？ OR 5X5? Or 20 rebounds?

One more point, Fliggy Charles Barkley! It's back after the All-Star break! The Lakers' interior line not only has to face two supergiant-level stars!

Worried, Harris grabbed his own little hair. What to do? The whole court is pressing? Houston doesn't have a good ball-handler like the Knicks. Drexler, Barkley, and Olajuwon can all advance directly with the ball when they are pressing.

And the new Jim Jackson is also an All-Star level guard. Perhaps the hardest thing for Houston to target is the ball carriers, who have just too many offensive initiators! Trying to defend them with tight pressing is simply a fantasy. If you don't do it well, you will leak people on the defensive end, but you will be stabbed by the reverse run.

Harris let out a long sigh, hey. It would be nice if O'Neill came back.

"Man! Even if the Lakers beat Ewing and beat the Knicks, it doesn't mean that they can beat Hakim and beat Houston. "Ross Barkley, the big-mouthed man, was asked by reporters after his win over the San Antonio Spurs what he thought of the Lakers' win over Ewing.

"Haha. In fact, I've seen the footage of that game, and there's no way to replicate the Lakers' winning method on our heads. Hakim can dominate Michael, and of course he can dominate Kobe, and Kobe Bryant may hit the iron 20 times in the next game? 30 times? ”

"Will this game be a preview of the Western Conference finals? No, I don't think so. Barkley winked.

"The Lakers will soon drop to second place in the West and third place in the West. Without O'Neill, they are nothing! ”

At the same time, Pelinka arranged a national media interview for Kobe Bryant – USA Today!

This is Kobe's first interview this season, after proving that he defeated Michael Jordan to win the All-Star MVP, Kobe's popularity is soaring, and many media want to conduct an interview, Pelinka chose the most suitable one for Kobe.

"Kobe, hello!" Alex Locke, the editor-in-chief of USA Today's basketball club, wore a suit and shook Bryant's hand kindly.

"Hello, Alex." Bryant flashed his trademark smile.

"Please be seated~"

"Good~"

When the photographer, gaffer was in place, Alex announced the start of the interview.

"Kobe Bryant ~ the most watched talent rookie in the United States! It's a pleasure to meet you! Can you tell us how you feel about achieving such an achievement? ”

"Man, I'm so happy. The team is great, the management has taught me a lot, and as a high school student, it's amazing to be able to grow up in such a friendly atmosphere as the Los Angeles Lakers! Also, my current achievements are not very good, and I don't have a ring yet. ”

Bryant shook his empty fingers.

"That's great! Do you like Los Angeles? ”

"Loved it very much! There are mountains and seas here! The climate is comfortable, the fans are welcoming, and I love it so much. ”

At home, Alex asked a lot about the trivial things of daily life, the mood of the game, and his mentality.

He was surprised to find that the Lakers, an 18-year-old rookie, answered so appropriately, and his performance in front of the camera was too mature.

"So the last few questions, Kobe, Iverson has not broken your 7-consecutive 40+ record in the last 6 consecutive 40+, what do you think of your top pick in the same class?"

"He's strong! His willpower and speed are beyond my realization, man, and you can only know how fast he really is if you show up in front of him. ”

"The next game is against Houston, you just beat Ewing one of the four centers, can you beat Hakim this time?"

"Of course! Without confidence, what basketball do you play! ”
