Chapter 782: The Comeback of the Son of the Wind and the New and Old F4 (Plus Plus Arrived~Hehe~)
During this time, Steve. Nash is doing his final rehab work, and while his personal trainer and agent are not in favor of him forcing him back at the end of the season, it's hard to change what decisions people really make. Especially as a 2-time MVP winner, Nash's state of mind is not comparable to ordinary players.
He wants to do it, unless he gets injured directly and the season is reimbursed, he will do it to the end.
Without this mental will, how could you possibly win the regular season MVP in one fell swoop as a white point guard who wasn't particularly physically? You must know that during that time, it was still the era of "stars shining" in the alliance. Nash can do this, and his personal will does not need to be questioned.
And if it weren't for the Spurs being a little "yin" back then, the Suns would have had a vicious fight with the Spurs. Maybe the ending still can't be changed, but it's also more convincing than the current loss.
But this is basketball, winning or losing, in an instant, within a thought, defeat is defeat, except for complaining, you can only regret it.
But as a former quasi-supergiant, Nash's biggest regret is FMVP, with the decline of his ability and the increase of age, he began to be the same as Marlon Payton back then, just asking for a ring, it doesn't matter if there is FMVP or not. Otherwise, it would be too bleak to end your career without ring.
It's hard to be reconciled for the rest of your life.
I will regret it for the rest of my life.
Therefore, Nash braved the big disapproval and came to Los Angeles from Phoenix to form the seemingly prosperous "new F4".
But everyone knows the ending, this is a beautiful mistake, and the Lakers seem to have nothing good as long as they are in group F4. The "old F4" collapsed a year later, the sharks swam eastward, and the Lakers went straight from a championship-level team to a rebuild. What about the "new F4"? Kobe Bryant torn Achilles tendon, lost Bynum but only exchanged for Howard's "right to use" for one year, most of the team's players were traded, Nash was injured, Gasol couldn't find a slump, and then the original time and space began to enter a rebuilding period.
Last year's failure, Kobe's serious injury, made Nash once desperate to pursue Larry again. O'Brien Cup, so he only played a symbolic 15 games in the 13-14 season, and then his contract was not fulfilled and he hastily withdrew from the NBA stage. One of these is that the body is dead, and the other is that the heart is dead.
The latter is more important than the former.
Otherwise, Nash would have been able to fight again.
It's just, what's the point of fighting again? It's just a waste of time. He's been playing in the NBA for 18 years, much longer than a lot of people, so it's almost, it's enough.
But now, because of Tang Qian's intervention, everything has taken a turn for the better.
The Lakers, who were originally unanimously looked down upon by everyone in the outside world, actually resurrected and reborn in the defeat of the remnants! So far, they have a proud record of 53 wins and 13 losses! And so far, with 19 consecutive wins, only the Miami Heat are the same as them in the league, neck and neck! Stimulated by this momentum, Nash suddenly rekindled that flame in his heart, and almost in a short time, he made up his mind to make a forced comeback!
Moreover, it is to urge the remaining energy of the body to fight with all your might!
This means that regardless of the final result of the season, Law. I won't fight in the future!!
This is my last desperate season!
The meaning of fighting again with old bones!
This record looks more like last season's record, but it doesn't matter, it's good to be competitive. Otherwise, what if it was last season's luxury "F4"? Isn't it just as dismal?
For this final season and the last stand, Nash did a lot of detailed personal analysis of the Lakers during his rehabilitation.
So a few basic conclusions are drawn:
First, it is a miracle to be able to score this result.
No matter how you look at this lineup before, it is a weak lineup, Kobe Bryant and Gasol, who have torn Achilles tendons, can only return to the team after half a season, and most of them have a base salary or a one-year short contract. Even if this kind of hand is chosen by Nash himself, he probably won't have any good possibility. Therefore, everything was unexpected.
Second, the amazing individual performance of the 24th and 29th.
If anyone would have thought before the season that the 35~36-year-old Kobe Bryant, who returned from a serious injury, could really fully recover, it must be a "brain-dead fan". Because this kind of injury is almost fatal for athletes, no matter what kind of athlete they are. The words on the Internet to restore the peak and return the king are just some self-comforting fantasy slogans. Nash is pessimistic. He thinks that Kobe Bryant can maintain the state of 70% before the injury, which is good, and the more realistic situation is that it will fall and decline more. After all, he was injured at a younger age than Dominic. Wilkins is a few years older, which means resilience will be even more compromised. In the face of serious injury, it doesn't matter if you are Kobe or Jordan. This is a physiological rule, a medical rule, how can a mortal disobey it? The ace player tore his Achilles tendon, the Lakers management did not keep the "monster" as promised, and the depth of the team was also wiped out because of the formation of a luxurious lineup last year. This kind of team, let alone winning the championship, is probably a miracle to be able to enter the playoffs.
But after the start of the season, the performance of No. 24 made Nash almost choke on water! Nash is a player in the same class as Kobe, so he has seen the growth and peak of Black Mamba with his own eyes. But this season...... Obviously a little more pinnacle than the pinnacle he'd ever seen, no, much more!! He is currently averaging 40+ points per game!! It's just nerve-wracking!! If the Lakers didn't have Kobe Bryant's crazy scoring points, they would definitely not have won half of the current games!
Secondly, the progress of No. 29 also surprised Nash. Although No. 29 was the king of blocks and rebounds last season, the data is not exaggerated, it can only be said to be excellent. Nash originally positioned him as Mutombo with off-ball offensive ability, but now it seems that this is completely "insulting" the former.
Scoring ability aside, just averaging 21+ rebounds and 7+ blocks in this game is crazy enough!!
This is the average data that no one has been able to do since the 70s!!
Said that his ceiling is Mutombo??? This is obviously a huge underestimate!! Blue-collar superstar, no, he may be able to challenge the status of blue-collar superstar in the future!! As long as he can lead the team to get an MVP and FMVP. Even if you can't do it, the title of the strongest blue-collar superstar is probably not escapable. This change has strengthened the Lakers' interior defense, what is the peak Howard? What pinnacle Warcraft? This is a level worse than the 29th of this season!!
The crazy performance of these two people alone made the Lakers suddenly jump out of the ranks of the "five scum teams". If the team hadn't focused on keeping Howard in the first place, if the team hadn't been actively strengthening at the beginning and hadn't been delayed by that damn "monster" the best time to trade, just these two people would have enough overall potential to build a strong team.
Third, the Lakers' record seems to be bright, but there are also many problems.
This is connected with the second one, and it is precisely because of the super intensity individual performances of Kobe and Tang Qian that the Lakers can play this record. However, the price is a huge overdraft for two people. At present, if either of the two falls, then the Lakers' season will end early, regardless of the final record and whether they will enter the playoffs or not. Gasol's return can be regarded as slightly offsetting the pressure on the field of the two people, but it is still not enough.
Because the rest of the Lakers are too weak.
Everything is just like what Gasol said before, the Lakers' roster this season is not built to compete for championships. It's a "temporary legion" or "mercenary legion", a team that has been put together temporarily to get together the necessary number of players. This kind of team will have no tacit understanding, no chemistry, no sacrifice and no mutual recognition. Compare that to the San Antonio Spurs and you'll know that it's a day and a place.
And D'Antoni is in this team, almost just a decoration, and he doesn't play a role at all.
What is the best and most straightforward way to solve this problem?
The answer is obvious, that is, to come to a point guard master to be the No. 1 position, which can not only use his individual ability to forcibly connect and organize the team, but also allow D'Antoni's tactical system and tactical ability to play. Kill two birds with one stone.
Moreover, Nash himself is a big heart and a sharpshooter, and with him, he can give the Lakers one more choice point at critical moments and disrupt the opposing team's targeting.
So considering the above three points, Nash decided to make a forced comeback!
It's for the ring, it's for itself, and it's because the Los Angeles Lakers need such a person right now.
And he is the key, the best choice.
But both his trainer and his agent gave him one final word of advice:
Your physical function is not currently very good, and you are not 100% fully recovered, and if you are injured again, it is estimated at your age......
Khanash's answer was short:
When I'm tired, I hold on, I have a small injury to be closed, and a big injury is going to fall on the field, and this season I have a hunch that this is my last chance. So, no matter what, whether it's 100% recovered or not, I'm going to come back.
There are no arrogant words, but between the lines, they are full of an old bone fighting for his last career.
Just when everyone thought that the Lakers would be defeated by the Spurs on March 19, ending a 19-game winning streak, on March 15, Steve Brown. Nash issued an official statement that he will return for the season against the Spurs on March 19.
At this moment, the heat of all Lakers fans has been ignited, because the Lakers' performance this season has exceeded psychological expectations, and now Nash has announced his comeback, which is ......
.t reporter Kate. Marin was the first to write on his personal Twitter and Facebook:
The son of the wind is back, the Lakers' new four kings!
It is called F4 in China, and it is called the Four Heavenly Kings in the United States. Marin's point of view has been praised and reprinted by countless people, and the TV station's ".t Tiantuan" program has opened a special topic: Who is stronger in the "Four Heavenly Kings" in the 12-13 season and the "Four Heavenly Kings" in the 13-14 season?
The discussability of this topic suddenly surpassed the "Four Heavenly Kings vs. GDP Combination" of ESPN on the opposite side, and it was at the level of comprehensive crushing. A number of basketball forums and basketball sections have launched votes and discussions, including the other side of the ocean, and have joined the hot discussion of this topic.
"That's a great topic! I feel like it's going to make a bloody storm on the Internet! ”
"Hey ~ buddy, don't feel it, it's already started! I support the four kings of the 13-14 season! ”
"Nash + Kobe + Gasol + Howard? It's so strong! I almost woke up laughing last year! So I choose the four kings of the 13-14 season! ”
"Don't bother with it, just compare the data, it's the easiest way. Kobe Bryant in the 13-14 season is significantly stronger than Kobe Bryant in the 12-13 season, Gasol is temporarily flat or slightly declining, Nash is unknown, it depends on how Dongfang and Howard should be compared. ”
"I think it is still the strength of Howard last season, after all, it is the existence of offense and defense, and it is still almost hot in this aspect."
"Are you kidding me? Although Howard's scoring ability is not very good at the moment, Howard was not much better with the Lakers last season. Do you think that the average point difference of 5~6 points per game can offset almost 8~9 rebounds per game and 4~5 blocks per game? Isn't it too messy? ”
"I also think that the hot is stronger than Howard last season, at least for the Lakers, it is more important and irreplaceable! Looking at that analysis article some time ago, the Lakers have No. 29 on the floor and No. 29 on the court, and the difference in average points conceded per game is huge. I've never seen this in Howard before. It's the same with pinnacles. ”
"Fart! Howard is the league's No. 1 center! What is ironing??? ”
"Okay, I know you're a Warcraft fan, but it's not Orlando right now, is it? He's not the boss in Houston anymore. ”
Domestically, the tendency is obvious, directly one-sided, and the voting option for the 13-14 season crushes the 12-13 season.
Because of this incident, the company's stock has appreciated a lot. Marin favored it.
At the same time, ESPN regretted why it hadn't signed the young man before.
But it's not too late to dig people, isn't it? Anyway, we ESPN have a lot of money.
In addition to the routine team training these days, Tang Qian is with Moses. Marlon soaked together, and there was no rest and free time at all. However, the progress here is not fast, after all, this is not a direct "transmission", it still requires a lot of time and effort. And he only broke through the scoring crystal brick not long ago, and now if he wants to improve, it will not be a moment and a half.
However, practice still has to be practiced, and the quantitative change before the qualitative change is equally important and cannot be ignored.
It's rare to have a 5-day game without taking advantage of it, it's too wasteful, Tang Qian doesn't have any other hobbies, the only thing he wants to do is to play and practice. But a few days later, there was still a phone call that pulled him out alive.
ps: Hey, don't wait for tomorrow, Xiaozi will be better today directly~ Haha~ Let's pat Xiaozi's little hands ~ Huhu~
Thank you for the 100001-level reading disease, the cruel apostle, the super Lingling, the season of your wind, and the song of Jiekai for the monthly pass~ Thank you for your support~
