Chapter 794: If you don't leave, you are a substitute
1. 29 consecutive wins!! Who can stop this Lakers team??? —The New York Times.
Experts predict that the probability of the Lakers' next victory over the Philadelphia 76ers is greater than 87.9%! —Orange County Chronicle.
A crazy 30-game winning streak is coming! How did the Lakers get to where they are today? —Miami Herald.
It's been a season of legends, and the Purple and Gold have been resurrected!! —Los Angeles Times.
This is the real "Four Heavenly Kings"! See? Dwight. Howard? Leaving us with the Lakers will be your biggest loss! - Lakers Nation.
Sure enough, in the game on April 6, the Lakers eliminated the second-to-last team in the East without bloodshed, and it is also the worst team in recent years, Philadelphia 76. Since Iverson's departure, they have plummeted, and even making the playoffs is a luxury. Bryant scored 33 points again and only took 18 shots. Around Nash, that off-ball efficiency is undoubtedly stronger than last season! Even more terrifying! However, it was only half of the game, and the Lakers already led their opponents by 19 points.
In the second half, Kobe Bryant and Gasol didn't play much, but Nash and Tang Qian played with it, plus Nick. Yang returned from injury, and the Lakers' firepower suddenly escalated again. Really, Steve. Nash is really good for this kind of projection outside line with weak offensive ability, and with him around, you just need to run seriously and then get out of the space and be ready to shoot.
Nick. Young originally had a strong three-point shooting ability, and he was not an ordinary open three-pointer, he was a shooter with good top shooting and strong shooting ability. As long as you give him the right chance, it's not a problem to shoot more than 40% of the three-pointers in the open position. After all, people have done it in the future, and they have this skill package 100%.
In this way, Kobe Bryant and Gasol only played 20+ minutes, and the Lakers still scored 115 points in the game! Of course, one of the reasons is that the 76ers are indeed too weak, and on the other hand, it also proves that the Lakers' offensive firepower is slowly reaching its peak.
Meeks and Nick. Young's return has given the Lakers two more firepower three-point batteries on the bench. On Nash's side, two people can easily shoot the peak shooting percentage of their careers.
Accurate, cool and not tired!
It's scary to be efficient!
Where to find this kind of good thing? So since Nash's comeback and full control of the ball, the Lakers' overall offense has been completely activated. And the one who activates the team is simply one person.
It's so powerful!
The momentum of the whole team is gradually rising, which is very beneficial for the upcoming playoffs!
Because basketball is a whole sport, just a few starters, no matter how strong they are, they can't win in a row. Therefore, Nash's credit is no worse than Kobe and Tang Qian. Not to mention that he's a super solid all-time three-point shooter himself. This invisibly made the Lakers' peripheral firepower rush to the top of the league at once.
Coupled with D'Antoni's run-and-gun and small-ball play, the Lakers have completely changed from a positional team to a sports team. If you carefully calculate the Lakers' points during this period, you will find that their average points per game are firmly in the first place in the league, and there is a gap of several points from the second.
76ers head coach Brett . Brown shook his head in the post-match press conference and said:
This Lakers team has entered a new level of scoring! There are very few teams in the league that can play against them offensively!
He was thinking about fighting tonight, and the result was miserable.
The 76ers lost to their opponents by as many as 32 points!
Achieved 30 wins in the season!! Suddenly, there was a kind of "lake phobia" in the league, and everyone was afraid to avoid the Lakers. It's no surprise that the season is 30 wins in a row! Even if you count the history of the NBA league, it has only appeared once, and now, what they are doing is the second time. And coincidentally, it's all in Los Angeles, it's all on the Lakers.
This is also a tragedy, 30 consecutive wins in a single season, and it can only rank second in team history, which is a bit too much.
30 wins in a row!! This not only alarmed the previous generation of Lakers, but the old monsters of the previous generation couldn't help but make a speech:
I hope the Lakers players keep up the good work! Catch up with 33 consecutive wins in one go! - Gail. Goodrich.
Great enough!! A 33-game winning streak awaits you!! This season is destined to be legendary!! - Jerry. West.
If it were someone else, I would definitely curse in my heart! But if it's still the Lakers, then all I can say is, come on, this is the bloodline tradition of the Purple and Gold players!! - Harpy. Hairston.
These people were the creators and experiencers of the Lakers' 33-game winning streak that year. Chamberlain is still there, and with his "big-mouth attributes", it is estimated that he will have to make a tirade that pretends to be forced.
Who can stop Los Angeles??? This title has now become the title of the entire league! 30 wins in a row, that's terrifying! If you haven't experienced it firsthand, you don't know how terrible this record is. In other words, the Lakers haven't lost for about 2 months!! Their defeat is still stuck at 13!! From 37 wins and 13 losses, only the former is beating, and no one can shake the latter!!
For a while, the "racist recording" of Clippers owner Raheem Sterling has become a secondary hot topic, at least in the NBA, in basketball. Everyone only cares about one, who can end the Lakers' winning streak???
Who can beat this Los Angeles Lakers team???
. T and other authoritative media have done voting and caucuses in this regard. Las Vegas even "moved with the times" and opened a small market for who could end the Lakers' winning streak for the rest of the game. Anyway, in the current American basketball world, the Lakers, 30 consecutive wins, 33 consecutive wins, and defeat, have become a hot keyword, and even a basketball fan can't help but talk about it.
. T reporter Kate. Marin was simple and easy to understand, quoting the Lakers' words at the start of the season:
. Coming! Winter is coming! The Purple Gold Storm has swept the Alliance!
At the time, everyone took the Lakers slogan as a joke and a laughing stock, but looking back now, it is simply appropriate.
So again this slogan, began to spread in the Union.
The Lakers have quietly become a real seeded team, competing with the Spurs and Heat. No, maybe in this time period, the Lakers are NO.1! Everyone doesn't know how to describe the change in the Lakers, it's like all of a sudden, they have returned to their places and become the big devils. Thunder? Right now, few people are optimistic that they can beat this Lakers team in the playoffs.
The next opponent, the Houston Rockets, is currently 51-25, can they stop the Lakers' winning streak?
Now every game of the Lakers has become a topic of great interest to everyone, everyone hopes that there will be a dark horse, but also hopes that this streak can continue, with this ambivalence, on April 8, the Lakers regular season 78th game arrived.
In fact, the core of the Rockets is also an inside-outside combination, Harden + Howard, at least in this season, it is still very eye-catching. They are all in their twenties, and they are all in the prime of life. And they are all the first people in the position rated by ESPN at the beginning of the competition.
Of course, it looks more like a joke now, and ESPN is embarrassed to mention it again.
Harden is naturally not so stupid, Kobe Bryant's performance this season is too strong, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to take advantage of Jordan at the peak, he is currently just a player between the peak of the All-Star and the quasi-superstar. In addition to the All-Star, there is only one last year's All-Star team, and the third team can get it, and the rest of the honors are gone. This is similar to the Lakers' No. 24 confrontation, and the brain is in water. The first and first defense positions in this season's All-Star guard position were booked out in advance. If Harden wants to squeeze in, he will have to compete with someone else for the only spot left.
Howard was a little dissatisfied, saying in an interview:
He feels like he's getting better and better, and he won't take it lightly tonight! I will definitely go all out to defeat my opponent!
However, when Tang Qian heard this, he didn't think so, because he and Howard were opposites, and there were well-known feuds, so he directly opened his mouth and said in the air:
Lower one's guard? I don't think that's the word for the weak! And I'm looking forward to his so-called all-out efforts!
Howard naturally heard Tang Qian's words, but he had fought with Tang Qian several times this season, and he had not won a single victory. So the hard spray is really insufficient!
Wait until I win tonight, and see how I taunt you!
Howard held back his anger and could only comfort himself in his heart.
But Kevin. McHale didn't arrange for Howard to attack inside at first, but let him come out to do a high pick-and-roll, and then look for an opportunity to shoot down. However, Harden and his tacit understanding are not particularly good at all, and Howard's future departure from the Rockets is the same set of arguments, he thinks Harden is too sticky and too selfish. Therefore, after Harden uses the pick-and-roll, he rarely passes the ball to Howard's side. Basically, they all took the opportunity to break through Kobe Bryant and went to the three-point line to find opportunities to score points.
Howard is secretly annoyed by this, the initial sweet period is gradually fading, and Harden's style of play, in fact, is obviously more dependent on the ball than the Lakers' No. 24. If you ask him to play without the ball and just do his own thing, that's basically no way. The all-encompassing style of play is the path that Harden has set for his future. No ball? Do your job? What is that?
Can you help raise the data and brush the data?
The current Deng Ge has just come out to be the boss and wants to brush up on more data and personal honors, the championship? Seriously, he never really thought about it in his heart. So at this stage, Howard met Harden who wanted to play "happy basketball", but he gradually found that he didn't like this so-called "happy basketball" so much.
Perhaps, he just wants to play "happy basketball" by himself.
Tang Qian saw that Howard hadn't touched the ball a few times, and couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, are you isolated on the Rockets?" Doesn't anyone pass the ball to you? So what am I going to do with you? Right? "You don't talk nonsense! Oriental, Oriental!! Shut up!!! The picture suddenly came to his lips and changed the wording.
"And temper?" Tang Qian smiled: "But it's right for you to leave the Lakers." ”
"What?" Howard was ready to compete with Tang for an offensive rebound, but he didn't have any chances at all this season. The former averages 12+ rebounds per game, the latter averages 21+ rebounds per game, and the latter is also defensive rebounding.
Staples Center, Bill. McDonald's voice is the most intuitive:
Hot easily protected this defensive rebound, and "Warcraft" didn't have any chances! Never had a chance from start to finish!
His rebounding ability may be good, but it's far worse than the hot one!
Tang Qian passed the basketball to Nash, and said to Howard while running to the frontcourt: "It's nothing, I just want to say, if you don't leave the Lakers, then at your current level, you are destined to be a substitute for me." ”
When Howard heard this, his eyes turned red all of a sudden.
