This season's Lakers team is really the focus of attention, hundreds of millions of megabytes, and they formed the "Star River Battleship", almost every move is the focus of attention of the American media. This also became one of the root causes of the Lakers' slump later.

Excessive attention is not something that the average NBA player can afford.

Many superstars and quasi-superstars have come to the City of Angels to know the power of this invisible pressure, not to mention ordinary players, even if they are stars of their level, they will be in danger of being crushed after a long time.

Big cities have the advantages of big cities, and naturally big cities also have disadvantages of big cities, and if you say that a big city team must be good, it must be that you haven't played in the NBA. can't withstand this kind of pressure, and it is not without history that it was abolished, do you really think that high exposure and high salary are so easy to earn?

The Los Angeles media is notoriously "tricky and mean", and even many times, it does not distinguish between friend and foe.

On October 31, 2012, U.S. time, the Lakers challenged the Portland Trail Blazers back-to-back, and it was this game that started the Lakers' Pandora season this season.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Lakers' "Four Heavenly Kings" were in place, ready to win this game and get the first win of the season.

The Lakers scored 26 points in the first quarter, including 10 points for Gasol, 7 points for Howard, 4 points for Kobe Bryant and 3 assists for Nash. It can be said that in the first quarter, the Lakers' "four kings" all played, and the feeling of running-in was obviously much stronger than yesterday's opening game. But helplessly, the Trail Blazers' LaMarcus. Aldridge performed bravely, scoring 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting in a single quarter, and at the same time scoring 4 individual assists, which made everyone in the Trail Blazers activate, 30-26 in a single quarter, but overpowered the Lakers by 4 points.

Tang Qian played 2 minutes in this quarter and got 4 rebounds.

In the second quarter of the game, just when the Lakers were chasing points, a thunderbolt happened on a sunny day.

The team's starting point guard, Steve Brown. Nash, who was on the inside to make up the defense, was hit hard and collapsed on the Rose Garden court, rolling around in pain. Lakers chief team doctor Gary. Wettie immediately stepped forward and took Nash back to the Lakers locker room.

Suddenly, it was like a dark cloud hanging over the Lakers' heads.

This is only the second game, and an absolute main force has been injured, no matter how you look at it, it is not an auspicious sign.

I just hope that the injury is not too serious.

Without Nash's operation and deployment, the Lakers immediately fell into a brief "panic". But fortunately, at this time, Kobe. Bryant stepped up, using off-ball coverage and open space cuts, shooting 4 of 6 in a single quarter, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, plus 2 free throws, and scored 13 points alone, which stabilized the situation of the Lakers.

At 31-32 points in the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by a total of five points in the first half and entered the second half.

In the locker room, Kobe Bryant opened his mouth as soon as he entered and asked, "Gary, how is Steve's injury?" ”

Gary. Viti was checking Nash's injury at the moment, and after seeing Kobe Bryant come in, he didn't turn his head, and directly lowered his head and replied: "There doesn't seem to be any problem with the ligament, but the inside of the bone is unknown for the time being, and we need to have an MRI tomorrow to get a definite answer." "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'll rest for a while, and I should be able to continue playing." Seeing Kobe's concern, Nash opened his mouth and said.

After halftime, Nash did reappear. Nash, who is also an "iron man" with a high attendance rate, has not missed many games in his career. Playing with an injury is not an unusual thing for him. But this year, his "iron man attribute" has come to an end. After just over two minutes of the third quarter, he returned to the locker room again due to leg discomfort.

This kind of thing weakened the morale of the Lakers.

Although Howard had 12 points and 6 rebounds in a single quarter, he still couldn't stop the crazy offensive of the Trail Blazers, especially Damian. Lillard, who teamed up with Pavlovich, scored 13 straight points in the final two minutes of the third quarter. A 13-0 offensive mini-climax immediately deflated the Lakers, and the score difference was opened up again.

Tang Qian didn't play in both quarters, because the situation was tense, Mike. Brown's old problem was repeated, and he directly overloaded Howard and Paul. Gasol. But it backfired, crazy. Grass. The main force did not bring much change to the Lakers, but because of the decline in physical strength, the defense of the two became more and more unstable. Gasol, in particular, was saddled with three individual fouls in this quarter alone.

Gasol underwent surgery for plantar fasciitis this offseason, and his recovery momentum is also very good, but after all, he is a person who has been on the operating table, and suddenly giving him such a large amount of playing time is actually very detrimental to his body. But this season Mike. Brown is under great psychological pressure, so in order to win the first victory as soon as possible, he can only come up with the old method and be ruthless. Exercise. Main player.

In this quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant's shooting rate was not high, shooting 1 of 4, and without Nash's delivery of shells, his offensive efficiency immediately dropped a notch.

At 19-30 in the first quarter, the Lakers scored 76-92, trailing the Portland Trail Blazers.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant scored another 9 points, and the Lakers scored a total of 30 points, but the hole dug in front of them was too big, so in the end, 106-116, 10 points lost to the Portlanders. In this game, Kobe Bryant had 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting 50%, Howard had 33 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, shooting 60%, and Gasol had 16 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. The team's shooting rate is as high as 50%, the team's total rebounds are as high as 45, and the team's total assists are as high as 21, which is another game of data sheets that are crushed across the board, especially in rebounding, the Lakers surpassed the Trail Blazers by 15, but unfortunately, it is still difficult to escape defeat.

Tang Qian played very little time in this game, and only scored 4 rebounds in total.

Another "bloody storm" is about to be staged in newspapers and on the Internet.

2 consecutive defeats in the first battle! What went wrong with the Lakers? -- Los Angeles Times.

The basic data of the whole line is crushed, but still can't win the ball, who is the reason? -- Bleachers.

Steve. Nash retired with an injury halfway through, and the future of the Lakers was clouded! -- Lakers Nation.

This is the so-called "Starship Battleship"? This is the so-called "Four Heavenly Kings"? oh~ Let me tell you one thing, the Lakers haven't won this season! ――ESPN。

Stacking of stars = winning? Angelenos also think basketball is too simple! ――ESPN。

Mark. Kuban Dao: "Four Heavenly Kings"? come.on~ It's not the first time they've teamed up again! Didn't you win the championship last time? ――ESPN。

This is an overwhelming pressure of public opinion, which is more than ten times stronger than the Los Angeles Lakers in normal times.

But all this is only the beginning, far from the end.

On November 2, the Lakers played at home against the Clippers in the same city. Nash's Lakers, offense, are a mess. It's as if everyone is fighting on their own, without a single discipline or level. Look at the Clippers on the other side, they have the star of the house, Chris. Under the leadership of Paul, 5 people scored double-doubles, including 2 people, who scored more than eight points, and so many scoring points bloomed everywhere, directly hitting the Lakers without fighting back, and from the first half of the fourth quarter, it entered garbage time.

Even Bryant scored 40 points on 14-of-23 shooting in this game with a shooting rate of more than 60%, which still could not hide the defeat of the Lakers. Because of Chris. Paul, who got 15 assists in a single game, and under his leadership, the Los Angeles Clippers broke out in full force, which became inevitable.

It was another "weird" game with a data sheet, with the Lakers shooting 50% > the Clippers 45.2%, but they still couldn't win.

The situation of three consecutive defeats in the opening game suddenly detonated the American media, and people began to talk about the Lakers and when they would be able to "break the egg". From the menacing "Galaxy Battleship" before the start of the game, it has become a "hot joke" in the streets in the blink of an eye, and this change is so fast that most of the Lakers players have not yet adapted to it psychologically.

The next day, T.N.T TV launched a special program, and the T.N.T group talked about Los Angeles.

O'Neal directly said that the Lakers messed up the star lineup, but in fact, the four of them couldn't coexist benignly at all.

Kenny. Smith pointed the finger at the head coach of the Lakers, and he bluntly pointed the finger at Mike. Brown does not have the ability to lead this "luxury team" to coach, so the Lakers are still a mess now.

Charles. Barkley said that the Lakers only need run-in time, because 70% of their lineup is new faces, so it is normal for the team to need longer run-in time than ordinary teams. In order to prove his point of view, he also cited the example of the Miami Heat, claiming that the "Big Three" also took a long time to complete the run-in.

He believes that the talent of the Lakers is beyond doubt.

"Smiling Assassin" Thomas's point of view lies in the No. 1 position of the Lakers, because he feels that connecting the team is the natural responsibility of the No. 1 position, as long as the No. 1 position can solve this link, then the rest of the things can be solved. And he thinks Steve. Nash, with that trait and ability.

Reggie. Miller, for his part, focused on the Lakers' team chemistry, citing as an example of the Lakers' eight-game losing streak in the preseason, averaging 18.9 turnovers per game. 19 turnovers, which is almost a self-defeating mistake number in a professional basketball game, no matter how strong the paper lineup is, it can't match the "damage" of this set of data. Then look at the Lakers' last three games, the first game 17 turnovers, the second game 24 turnovers, the third game 20 turnovers, in this super high turnover rate, the opponent counterattack, it becomes very easy. Just be quiet and wait for you to make a mistake.

If the Lakers can't solve this problem, then let alone three consecutive losses in the regular season, even if it is a 10-game losing streak, he doesn't think there is anything unusual.

These people are all veteran players in the NBA, so they often have unique insights and hit the nail on the head.

Tang Qian watched this show a little and felt that it was at least much more reliable than ESPN's analysis. This year's ESPN seems to be ready for the "giant black Kobe", and the entire analysis show, from beginning to end, does not leave Kobe Bryant in three sentences. Tang Qian felt funny while watching it, and he didn't know how he became a giant in the American sports world with such professionalism. Perhaps, ESPN's views on the other three major leagues of the four major leagues in North America are more professional and more in line with the status of sports giants.

In the fourth game, Bryant seemed to have made up his mind to win, he took over Nash's baton, and the whole incarnation of the team's No. 1 position, began to organize and string the team. And this effect is extremely obvious, the Detroit Pistons are not prepared for this aspect at all, and they were directly won by the Lakers, 108-79, and won the game with a big score.

Although Kobe Bryant only scored 15 points in this game, he got 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals at the same time, and this change finally brought the Lakers their first win of the new season. Howard, who scored a game-high 28 points, was a little "carried away" and opened his mouth directly at the post-game press conference: "This is the Lakers' winning mode, we should have done it like this a long time ago!" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, what did Kobe Bryant think?

Do you want me to play full-time No. 1? So Steve. What if Nash is back? And also......

I'm Kobe. Bryant's instinct is to score, score, and score!!

A stopgap measure can be used for a while, but it is never possible to last an entire season!!

Otherwise, you're leaving me on the Lakers, where are I ???

The Lakers' version of "Rights and Games" gradually began to show on the dark side.

As for Tang Qian, he is still waiting for the opportunity.

A blockbuster timing.

Because he knows deep in his heart that if he wants to gain a firm foothold in this "luxury army", it will never work without a "big scene". And the time for the big scene is coming soon.

PS: I saw someone asking, Howard is here, what should Tang Qian do, in fact, the plot Xiaozi has already been arranged, so you don't have to worry about this. In fact, if someone is familiar with that period of history, they should be able to guess how Tang Qian "logically" came to prominence.

Xiao Zi is out of town now, so every chapter is updated in the Internet café, and it won't break out for the time being, but Xiao Zi will go home on the 4th or 5th, and Xiao Zi will break out as soon as she goes home, so don't worry~

Weakly ask for recommendation votes, this season's Lakers team needs your support very much~ (To be continued.) )
