Chapter 140 [Winning the Iron Ball, Embarrassing Proof]

The next day, Isaiah Ryder was traded to multiple media outlets because he was angry with the Lakers after he was traded.

Ryder said angrily: "I strongly disagree with this, I just want to play, is this all too much?" Otherwise, I would have chosen the Heat over the Lakers a long time ago. I came to defend the Lakers' title, and they traded me to the Nuggets without asking for my opinion, which was amazing to me and I didn't get a little respect. ”

Rydell's eloquence also feels incredible, doesn't it make it clear that he doesn't look down on the Nuggets? Without playing a single game, he managed to arouse the disgust of the new owner's management. If he continues to do his own thing, it will be difficult to finish the season.

After the Lakers' morning practice, a reporter came to interview and asked Phil Jackson to evaluate Ryder's performance with the Lakers and want to know what bad things Ryder did with the Lakers. The "Zen master" chose to keep his mouth shut, and he didn't bother to say anything to this person.

The Lakers players also have a tacit understanding not to mention Leddle, everyone is gone, there is no need to say anything offensive to people, it will appear that they are very cautious, anyway, everyone knows that this is a wonder.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Ryder was not sent away, and next season's remarks are even more stupid. Although the Lakers eventually won the championship with a ring from Ryder, he felt that the ring was not properly named.

Ryder, who doesn't eat the food he eats, said in an interview: "To be honest, it doesn't mean anything special to me because I didn't play the playoffs and wasn't strictly a member of the championship team. ”

He also said he would get his ring when he played the Lakers on Nov. 25, which he would have preferred to happen after the Nuggets' victory over the Lakers.

Funnily enough, Ryder didn't wait for the day when the Nuggets waited for "revenge" on his old club, he only played 10 games, and the Nuggets management couldn't bear to cut the cancer, and the game against the Lakers was in Game 14......

Since then, no one has offered him a contract, even if he averages 10 points per game, as long as the base salary. As for when Ryder went to the Lakers to receive his ring, fans don't know.

That ring should be meaningful to him, and when Ryder goes bankrupt in the future, when he is arrested for domestic violence and kidnapping women, the NBA championship ring will make his life look less defeated, and there is a glimmer of brilliance, after all, this is something that Malone, Barkley, Ewing and others dream of, but don't get.

Unfortunately, in this life he lost even that ring, and his career was a complete failure.

In the evening, the Lakers vs SuperSonics game kicked off at Staples Arena, and the Lakers trailed 26-30 in the first quarter.

Harper did a good job against Payton, who made 3-of-5 shooting and 1-of-2 free throws to get 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and Harper made 2-of-4 shooting to get 4 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.

Ruben Patterson was very successful on the defensive end, Bryant shot 3-of-7 and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line, playing 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist throughout the quarter, and was not very efficient. Patterson scored six points on 2-of-3 shooting and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line.

The SuperSonics bench played better, with Moonbeck scoring four points in three minutes and Brent Barry hitting a three-pointer in the final two minutes.

The Lakers only sent a backup to Brian Shaw in the second half of the game, replacing Harper, and Guo Xu has been sitting on the bench.

Guo Xu is not in a hurry at all, he will not take the initiative to ask to go on the court to prevent Payton's back hit, Harper's comeback is to do this kind of dirty work. The basketball game is a battle of wits and courage, Guo Xu knows what kind of player restrains himself, and the coaching staff certainly knows that he will not let him do what he is not good at.

In the second quarter, Payton rested, Guo Xu came out and had the ball, and the other four were Brian Shaw, George, Horry, and O'Neal.

Guo Xu and O'Neill played blocking and dismantling in the middle, and soon overtook the score with a wave of 11-2.

The inside line is not guarded out, and Guo Xu can shoot directly by relying on the fat man to cover and get rid of the defender.

Ewing and Wenbeike defended outside, Guo Xu broke through with the ball, and the advantage of small play and big speed was obvious.

Even if the big man is not passed by him, as long as he follows the defense near the baseline, there will be a gap, O'Neal is unstoppable in the middle, and can only use the "shark cutting tactic" to send him to the free throw.

A simple mid-lane blocking, the basic tactics of the center going down, supersonic speed is not good. O'Neal's impact is so terrible that no defender dares to change his defense, it is suicide, and there will definitely be a gap in the defense.

O'Neal doesn't pass hard, and the SuperSonics can't withstand it with just an inside line. Wenbeck quickly made three fouls and went to the break, and "King Kong" Ewing came up even worse, his weight was too light, the foul was not fast enough, and he was knocked out of the bottom line by O'Neal with a dunk.

Guo Xu had 7 points and 7 assists in a single quarter, and the data brushed up, he felt that if he played like this all season, his rookie season might be 20+10. As long as he plays the block and dismantle, Ao Fat's statistic bonus to the guard is obvious.

At the time of the Magic, Anfernee Hardaway, who had a fat man, was recognized as the "Jordan successor", playing 20+4+7 data for two consecutive seasons, shooting 51.2% and 51.3% from the field. As a result, as soon as O'Neal left the Magic, Hardaway couldn't even shoot 45 percent, and he didn't even know it, which was not all due to injuries.

Not to mention when he was in the Heat, O'Neal was willing to be a green leaf, helping Wade play with confidence and achieve hegemony in 06.

In the second half, the Lakers continued to play blocking and pick-and-roll, and role players such as Fox and Horry also threw away, and the Lakers always maintained the lead.

Despite Bryant's poor form, the Lakers won 106-91.

Guo Xu shot 7 of 12, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 22 points, 3 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals, and the double-double performance was very eye-catching.

O'Neal had 34 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 blocks, and the fly in the ointment was 2-of-11 free throws.

After the game, the media interviewed "Zen Master" Jackson and asked him to evaluate the game, and deliberately pointed the finger at Kobe.

Kobe Bryant cut 50+ in the last game, with a shooting rate of more than 50%, and the Lakers lost; In this game, Bryant made 8 of 25 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, and 3 of 5 free throws, scoring 19 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, and the Lakers easily won by 15 points.

Jackson doesn't know what to evaluate, saying that supersound is too weak? You can't be weaker than a warrior, right?

The Lakers played well this game because they cooperated a lot, only Kobe Bryant was free from the tactics, and the others were very tacit.

Kobe Bryant has singled out two defensive strengths, Payton and Patterson, probably he feels that he has scored 50+ on the court, and he is in good shape, and he wants to beat the supersonic defensive experts to prove his strength.

The result was a bit embarrassing, and Kobe's touch didn't carry over to this one. It is precisely because of his inconsistent performance that Ryder dares to call out and always thinks that he can play him. In the last two games, Bryant's more shots not only did not become Jordan, but also developed in the direction of Ryder.

Jackson has never understood Kobe's character of loving competition and liking to single-handedly defend strong points, and the NBA has no "winning the Payton Award" or "breaking the best defensive player award", what is he pursuing?

Kobe Bryant is actually jealous, the media often says that O'Neal can blow up all the interior lines in the league one-on-one with his personal ability, and is the most dominant center, so Kobe Bryant wants to prove that he has the ability to blow up all the outside lines one-on-one.

He's that paranoid, and yet he doesn't have that kind of dominance right now.
