At the start of the second half, the Lakers showed a near-overwhelming advantage. Since Nash returned to full control of the ball, the Lakers' original offensive problems have been completely opened, as if they have been penetrated through the "two veins of Rendu", and the four kings are enough to handle everything. As for Wesley. Johnson, the main thing is to defend well and then occasionally shoot empty baskets, and that's enough.

The Wizards still underestimate the current Lakers team, even if Ariza shot 3 three-pointers in this section, it is useless, the Lakers are in full swing, Gasol + Tang Qian has succeeded in continuous interior attacks, and the Wizards team with weak interior lines will be beaten all of a sudden. Whether it's Malchin. Gortat or Trevaux. Booker, all played painfully. The defense is painful, not to mention the offense, the inside line without the ability to project from the outside, facing the twin tower barriers of Tang Qian + Gasol, is the share of food delivery.

I can't get in at all!

Kobe Bryant on the outside because he is full of physical energy, so he pinched John on the defensive end. Wall, this kind of treatment, Wall has never tasted since he entered the league. Because when he joined the league, it was already the 10-11 season, and Kobe Bryant had retired from his absolute peak, and his physical limitations prevented him from focusing on offense and defense as before. Therefore, the defense of No. 24 is getting bigger and bigger, even if it is to defend, it is a tight moment at a critical moment, and it is impossible to stick to the peak of the whole process.

But this season, especially after Nash's comeback, that doesn't matter.

Kobe Bryant can pinch the opponent 100% on the defensive end, and this kind of player with a long proportion of ball control and ball holding types is Kobe's favorite and most happy defensive object. No kidding, if it weren't for Tang potential this season, Kobe Bryant would probably be able to compete for the honor of DPOY. With a full peak of physical and physical fitness + more than ten years of experience on the court, his defensive ability has also reached the top of his career.

This season's Wall is only the No. 1 position with about 19+ points, and it is really a bit inqualified to be tough with Kobe.

So in the Staples Center, you'll see a scene where No. 24 followed the No. 2 of the Wizards the whole time, making the latter not very comfortable all the time. Holding the ball to get rid of the opponent is even more of a dream, and the peak Wade can't do it, what is he? Even if it is called a block, it can't be called every round, so the consumption of the team as a whole is too great, and the offensive mode is easy to understand.

And Wall is very poor in three-point and mid-range, and it didn't improve until the 17-18 season, what can you do with him in the 13-14 season?

In addition, this Wizards team is also limited in its ability to block and dismantle, and one of its starting lineups is Gortat or Trevor. Booker doesn't have the ability to pop up mid-to-long range after a pick-and-roll. Therefore, it is easy to be targeted, or even deliberately released. Second, even if they are desperate and rush into the interior to attack, it is estimated that the end will not be too good, the Lakers interior is the area with the most surging defensive energy on the entire court, Gortat and Booker, who average 13+ per game and 6+ per game? Going in is probably what Los Angeles people want the most. The bones and dregs will be eaten. The third is Wall's own offensive limitations, your basket is poor, and after blocking and dismantling, you can only go through the scoring path in a large proportion, and that goes back to the origin of the problem, the Lakers' basket basically can't be scored, and his state explosion is estimated to be useless.

So Kobe Bryant strangled the Wizards' ace core alone, and made repeated mistakes halfway, and was directly stealed by No. 24 and played several defensive counterattacks, and a single fast-break dunk.

35-25 in the single quarter, if it weren't for Ariza's three three-pointers to save his life, the game would have been completely over.

But even so, it is still lingering, and there is no hope of overtaking or winning.

At 92-74, the Lakers led by 18 points heading into the fourth quarter.

In fact, the last quarter only played more than 5 minutes, and the Lakers basically replaced all the main players, leaving only some substitutes to play with Don Potential. At the end of the game, 109-99, the Lakers won by 10 points and ushered in their 21st consecutive win of the season at home.

Kobe Bryant scored fewer points in this game, only 31 points, but he was not unhappy, because such a Lakers team can give him the opportunity to go to the top of the stage this season. Nash has 10 assists in this game. And because the lead was established early, none of the Lakers' "four kings" played more than 30 minutes. This kind of attrition and ease made D'Antoni a little high-spirited after the game, sweeping away the previous 60-odd games of few words.

There's only one reason for this change, and that's the team he wants to build.

Rather than "VIP watching" from the perspective of a spectator.

However, some media still attribute the Lakers' win to the fact that the opponent was too weak, and the Wizards were already vulnerable.

This is a bit excessive, no matter how weak the Wizards are, it is also the fifth team in the East at the moment, what does it mean to be vulnerable? If the playoff teams are called vulnerable, then what is the gold and competitiveness of the East?

Kobe Bryant said in an interview after the game: Some media and media people just like!

The thorn on the 24th immediately displeased some big experts and reporters, and some of them jumped out and said publicly:

Let's ask Kobe Bryant to take care of the Lakers' on-court affairs first! There's too much infighting in the team, which is not a good thing!

At this time, Tang Qian + Gasol + Nash stood up together and refuted the rumors:

People who like/just like nonsense, and it's uncomfortable not to do something out of nothing!

Henry. Abbott Tract:

The gloss of the surface! I don't think the Lakers' probability of winning a championship this season has never been higher!

This time Kobe Bryant + Nash + Gasol + Tang Qian spoke together:

There is no need for some outsiders to predict! He probably doesn't even have the strength to shoot a three-pointer, right? LOL！！！

Henry. Abbott Tract:

Hopefully you can do it! I only look at the facts and speak!

The war of words is normal, the Lakers have been the largest concentration of ESPN's spat since the beginning of the new century, and the "combination", "F4" and "new F4" are all ESPN's hot topics without exception. Now it's the turn of the "new new F4". Moreover, Kobe Bryant has been fighting with ESPN at the beginning of the season and throughout the season, and Tang Qian has also provided strong assistance, so it's no wonder that ESPN can have a good attitude towards the Lakers.

But everything has to speak with facts, and that's Henry. Abbott was right.

Competitive sports are not competitions, singing is not competitions, writing essays, this is an absolute fact without subjectivity, winning is winning, and you can't discredit it if you want to.

On March 23, U.S. time, the Lakers continued to play at home against the Orlando Magic, and this season's Magic team is even weaker, with only a 19-51 record so far, and there is no hope of entering the playoffs. It's a transitional team, and the current starting lineup doesn't have a single All-Star this season. The range was extended to 3 seasons, and it was the same, only Jamil. Nelson was named to the All-Star bench in the '08-09 season, how long has it been? It's all 13-14 seasons now, okay?

It was a game with little resistance, and even if Orlando was lightly armed, it was useless, and he was led by 18 points at halftime, and finally lost by 108-88, 20 points, and the season loss increased to 52 games.

22 wins in a row!! Although Kobe Bryant's personal score in this game was once again below 40 points, only 35 points, but the shooting rate of more than 6 to 5 still made him smile brightly and said: Sorry, Henry. Mr. Abbott, we have won again! I wonder how long you'll be able to get your mouth stiff?

It's just the Orlando Magic!! The teams that are all at the bottom of the East!! I don't think there's anything to be proud of!!

Henry. Abbott tweeted, but in fact, in his heart, he kept praying and cursing the Lakers to lose as soon as possible. Otherwise, in the face of victory, his set of "empty mouth and white teeth" is not convincing at all.

When losing, fans may listen to the analysis of these big experts and reporters, but when they win, ...... ~ Who cares so much? A win is a win! Listening to your foolishness can't change anything.

On March 25, the Lakers played the 70th game of the regular season against the New York Knicks, who had plummeted this season.

Compared with last season's second place in the East, this season's Big Apple is currently only 29-41, and although this record is a little stronger than Orlando in the last game, it is still hopeless to enter the playoffs. Unless they win the rest of their games, there may be a slight possibility. Anthony has been on a fire this season, and Knicks fans have been full of disappointment and complaints about him.

Anthony also felt aggrieved, and he felt disrespected by the New York people who ignored the Knicks' actual situation this season and what he did last season.

But this is a big city, look at the Lakers, even if it's Kobe, if he doesn't play well, won't he be sprayed? After Kobe Bryant's Achilles tendon was torn, how many people sympathized with him more? Teams in big cities naturally have advantages and disadvantages, and more spotlight and exposure also means more nitpicking and picking. Anthony can't stand this, what kind of boss is he? Nothing can be achieved in the future, so he can only go to other teams to hug his thighs, which has a lot to do with his own personality that likes to complain and does not like introspection.

For example, this season, just about a month after the start of the game, Anthony, as the core main player, actually publicly complained to the New York media that he wanted to reduce his playing time. His reasoning was that he was worried that he would play for too long and that his body would not be able to bear it and he would be prone to injury. If he can win the game for the sake of the team's victory, then he is willing to do it, but if not, he is not willing to overdraw his body in vain.

But is this the thing? And what kind of bullshit excuse is this? As a top star, you spend tens of millions of dollars with the team a year, is it wrong to let you play? What does it mean to "if you can win the game, he is willing, otherwise he is not willing"? Shouldn't this be the other way around? If you don't play, if you reduce your playing time, will it be more difficult for a team that is already struggling to win? Not even a chance to win?

New President "Zen Master" Phil. Jackson took office a week ago, and the first question he asked after taking office, the "Zen Master" said: Kobe and Jordan will not make such excuses.

It was supposed to be a typical motivational statement, but it ...... This doesn't work on Anthony's side.

He just felt that the "Zen master" was unkind from the beginning.

In fact, the "Zen Master" also overestimated his influence on the stars, of course, he did not have anyone who couldn't handle it before, whether it was Jordan or Kobe Bryant or Pippen or Rodman or O'Neal, etc., from historical supergiants to thorns, they could all be subdued by him, and the three armies died. But there are always exceptions, and Anthony is Phil. Jackson's first star who couldn't get his hands on it.

"Zen Master" doesn't see it that way, he's so used to the players that he's obedient to him, so he ignores the difficulty of getting Anthony. He thinks Anthony desperately wants to be a supergiant and get his own championship ring, so he will definitely bow down to him. What about the facts? Not really. This is destined to be a tragedy.

And then Phil. Jackson's approach of proactively stimulating players with the media is not very suitable for today's league. He directly and secretly told local reporters in New York that Anthony was only concerned about his shoulder injury that he had just healed and did not want to risk another injury. As soon as the news came out, Anthony was furious, and although it was true, it still made the melon fried.

This will continue to be the case, and Anthony will eventually say publicly that he doesn't like to be criticized publicly, and if he wants to criticize, please say it privately. But in private, it loses the meaning of the "Zen master" saying this passage, he wants to use the pressure of the outside world and the media to put pressure on the players and stimulate motivation, so the latter's answer is "be generous".

Regarding this, Kobe Bryant also intervened and said: "Don't get into the horns when dealing with Zen masters."

However, Tang Qian understood that all this was in vain, and Anthony couldn't listen to it.

For now, at least, his so-called star self-esteem is greater than his pursuit of championship rings.

This is completely different from Jordan Kobe O'Neal back then.

Well, maybe it's also a problem that they weren't a star in the first place.

Compared with the top ten supergiants in history, Anthony is simply difficult to strengthen.

Before this match, Anthony said in a public interview that he will strive to win the rest of the matches in the future. The Knicks still have a chance to make the playoffs!

said that, by the way, he also brought the Lakers with him, which means that he wants to take the Lakers' "sacrifice flag".

This immediately annoyed the four kings of the Lakers, and Kobe Bryant took the lead in saying:

I'm still saying the same thing, we'll keep winning!

Gasol was a little more tactful:

I think the Knicks are a good team, but we should be stronger.

Nash Dao:

That's the opinion of the Knicks, and my opinion is that we're going to win.

Tang Qiandao:

Great expert Henry. Mr. Abbott once said that competitive sports are based on facts.

This even flipping response made Anthony's face turn blue with anger, but what is the use of him refuting now? That damn oriental center is not wrong, competitive sports, no results, no facts, you say a fart.

No one wants to listen to bragging.
