Chapter 541: Lakers F4

By the end of the game, David Lee felt relaxed, because his stats were really impressive tonight.

It was his career debut, and Richard allowed him to play 38 minutes on the court, finishing with 23 points and nine rebounds, narrowly missing a double-double.

However, in terms of defensive statistics, David Lee was more miserable tonight, with all the blocks and steals data hanging zero.

It's not that Richard didn't expect this kind of thing, and David Lee himself was rather embarrassed in terms of defensive statistics.

Averaged only 0.4 blocks per game in his entire career, which is definitely quite embarrassing for an interior player.

Looking at the defensive efficiency value, David Lee's value is actually quite good, and he can reach 106.

Although this number is not much better, it can at least be said to be mediocre.

The key is that his defensive efficiency value is relatively large, and he was mixed up in the middle and late stages of his career when he joined the Warriors, Green Kai and Spurs.

The defensive systems of these three teams are among the best in the league, and after David Lee joins, the defensive efficiency value can naturally improve a bit.

On the whole, David Lee's defense is relatively weak, and he is a fairly typical type of player who is strong in attack and weak in defense.

But anyway, he can still occupy an offensive power, coupled with the identity of the inside line, anyway, as long as he can develop normally, the future will definitely be no worse.

……

This offseason has seen countless trades and transfers, to the point of outrageous.

The most frightening thing is undoubtedly the composition of the Lakers' F4.

Glove Payton and Malone have joined the Lakers, and the West is about to start to be unquiet again.

Malone is completely desperate for the Jazz to win the championship, with Ricky Davis as a drag bottle, the Jazz have no hope of winning the championship at least in the next few years.

As for Payton, he is also tired, and what he wants most at the moment must be to get a championship ring.

Originally, Richard actually had the idea of contacting Payton, after all, Payton's strength still exists, and the number of point guards on the Pistons' side is also a little nervous.

Of course, the main purpose is to weaken the Lakers......

Watching your competitors grow is undoubtedly the most stupid thing to do.

Although Richard didn't pay much attention to the Lakers F4, it is not impossible if there are variables that affect the Pistons' consecutive championships.

Pull out the nail of Payton, the Lakers F4 can't get together, and their threat will be reduced a lot.

But what made Richard a little painful was that Payton directly rejected Richard's invitation and turned around and joined the Lakers directly.

This is somewhat interesting, Richard never expected Payton, who was bent on winning the championship, to choose the Lakers over the Pistons......

Fools can see that the Pistons are more competitive than the Lakers!

But if you think about it, it doesn't seem to be for nothing that Payton didn't come to the Pistons......

If he comes to the Pistons, he can only play as a substitute, after all, the Pistons have a player like Nash who is qualified to compete for the league's No. 1 point guard, how can Payton squeeze out Nash and become a starter.

And if he goes to the Lakers, Fisher will definitely have to give way to Payton, and even Payton can play the No. 2 position, and Kobe Bryant can go to the No. 3 position.

Even if the Pistons won the championship in the end, Payton only won the championship as a substitute, and if he won the championship with the Lakers, Payton would be the starter.

The meaning of these two is completely different.

Although Payton wants a championship, at least at the moment he doesn't want to hug the Pistons' thighs, which would be a loss of his identity.

Richard sighed, and could only accept this reality gloomily, Payton was still reserved, unwilling to join the Pistons to hug his thighs, and Richard couldn't find someone to tie him up to Detroit.

……

As for Malone joining the Lakers, it looks like a bluff, but in fact, it's just like that, Malone is now much weaker in the power forward position, and he often suffers from injury problems.

After all, the age is there, you must know that Malone is 40 years old now......

……

The achievement of the Lakers' F4 lineup has set off a wave of discussion in the offseason.

It's really that their lineup is a bit too extravagant......

Many Lakers fans are relieved, such a lineup goes to the Finals, and the championship is already in the bag.

With such a strong lineup, what can the Pistons take to win them Lakers......

Lakers fans closed their mouths happily, but fans of other teams in the West shouted that it was unfair, thinking that the Lakers' operation was too disgusting and simply didn't give other Western teams a way to live.

There are those who scold them for holding together, and there are those who scold them for being shameless, anyway, all kinds of sprays.

Richard felt that this was a little inexplicable, but in fact, the Lakers' luxurious F4 was similar to the previous Rockets.

It's all the seniors who get together and fight for a championship at the end.

Later, Green Kai also imitated the operation of the Rockets and the Lakers, and brought in two old men to form the Green Kai Big Three.

And then there's the Heat......

But the Heat and this old man are in a group, and the situation is definitely different.

It is not wrong to say that the Heat is the originator of the peak group atmosphere, after all, whether it was the Rockets three old men, the Lakers F4 or the Green Kai Big Three, they were all old men......

……

The Lakers' F4 lineup has been reached, and Richard hasn't paid much attention to it.

It's not like Larry Brown's old guy leads the grassroots Pistons to win, and the new Pistons he carefully builds lose to this F4 team.

Maybe even this Lakers can't even rush out of the West......

……

David Lee's performance in the first game of the regular season was remarkable, and in the next two games, the Pistons were still away.

Richard again started two games with David West.

Speaking of David Lee and David West, the style is like a thief, and the offensive ability is quite good, but the defensive end is a little bit worse.

The height is similar, the position is the same, and they entered the league in the same year, and they all won the championship with the Warriors.

Even the names are the same, it's a shame that these two don't go to worship.

……

After three games, the Pistons played a 2-1 record, which is certainly not outstanding, but because the two Yao Ke were rested, such a record is acceptable.

After three opening games on the road, the Pistons ushered in four consecutive home games.

The opponents are the Grizzlies, Magic, Warriors and Nuggets.

On October 19, the Pistons sat at the Palace of Auburn Hills to take on the challenge of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Last season, the league's well-known veteran coach Hubie Brown took over the Memphis Grizzlies, and under his construction, the Grizzlies' roster has improved a lot, and now they are already capable of reaching the Western Conference playoffs.

It can also be seen from this that the ability of these veteran coaches is really not boasting.

Thinking about the Grizzlies' days in recent years, it is really extremely sad that in the just-concluded draft, their picks were taken away by the Pistons......

But in such a bad situation, Hubie Brown actually led the Grizzlies to rise, and this ability really has to be served.

At the referee's whistle, the Grizzlies' starters began to appear, with center Pau Gasol, power forward Mike Miller, Bunch Wells and James Posey on the line of guard, and Williams on point guard.

This starting lineup can be said to be quite good, I can't find any shortcomings that are too weak, and the strength of the five starters is above the standard.

As for the bench, their players are also quite good, with Battier, 2000 star Swift, Earl Watson and others.

But even if Hubbie Brown is taking care of the Grizzlies now, they are still a little inadequate in front of the Pistons, the division of kings.

At the beginning, Yao Ke and the two won one after another, playing a wave of 6:0 small climax.

Although Gasol entered the league a year earlier than Yao Ming, his strength has not improved much in the past two years, and he has never played an average of 20+10 per game.

But even so, at the moment, Gasol is also the number one center in the league, and he will definitely be able to get the top salary like Big Z in the future.
