0988:[The Greek Monster Grows Up]
More injured than the New York Knicks is undoubtedly the Oklahoma City Thunder.
After they experienced four consecutive defeats in the playoffs last year, after a whole offseason of healing, Young Master Wei and Young Master Du finally recovered a little bit of energy.
Plus... The super record of seven consecutive wins in the preseason, coupled with the Miami media has been touting the decline of the Lakers, etc.
So, before the opening game, the two young masters felt that they could do it again.
It's a little floating.
So, he collided head-on with the Duke and the Black Mamba who were in full swing.
Before the opening game, Lord Duke instilled a theory in the locker room to the players: "We Chinese pay attention to the plan of the year in the spring, and the plan of the day in the morning." Today is our opening game, and we have to get off to a good start. Later... It's no problem for us to paddle and practice tactics or anything, but tonight, everyone must release all their energy, and we must win! ”
The Duke roared.
Directly shouted the massacre of 142:108.
From the opening moment of the game, it completely entered the Lakers mode.
The Lakers fielded a rather bizarre lineup, Snoopydou, Kobe Bryant, Janis, Shaun Marion and Whiteside.
came up with two veterans and two newcomers and a veteran.
However, they flew quite beautifully.
The Duke scored his first goal with a three-way split throat for the Thunder. Sean Marion and Kobe Bryant immediately infiltrated violently.
Marion seamlessly integrated the Duke's tactical guidance. His off-ball ability and defense are helping the Lakers very positively, and he even said after the game: Snoopy is the best teammate I've ever worked with.
Instead of making Stephen Nash feel depressed, he added with a smile: "He's also the best teammate I've ever worked with."
This shows the unity in the current Lakers camp.
Another point of solidarity is Janis.
Rookie Janis became the player who played the whole game, from the beginning, Sean Marion flew with him, then Stephen Jackson flew with him, and then Alatai Jr. came on the court to teach him how to drive a tank.
Immediately afterwards, Steve Nash and Byron Davis joined the luxury sparring group.
The whole rhythm of the Lakers is that Snoopy and Kobe Bryant are attacking the city. Immediately after taking the lead on the double, let Janis come in for a surprise attack, or play a single in the penalty area.
In addition, on the defensive end, he is also given a heavy responsibility. Not only let him be a power forward, but also let him defend Durant.
Every time Durant teaches him a lesson, his big brother, Lord Duke, will find it back in Durant and tell him: It's okay, keep defending!
This gave Janis a lot of confidence and made him more relaxed in the game. Whether it's defending or attacking, they are quite confident.
And, there is always a big brother by your side to take care of you. While each Big Brother has a different approach, the... For a rookie who has not been in contact with vocational training for a long time, it is a good thing to open the book, and he is like a sponge that frantically absorbs water.
"I'm a little envious."
After the game, Nick Young couldn't help but say: "This is definitely the best rookie development in the history of the NBA league, if someone took care of me like this when I was in Washington, D.C." I may have become the second Kobe Bryant. ”
Nick Young said this openly.
But then he was called by Kobe Bryant to go head-to-head. He died and came back to life.
What second Kobe Bryant?
The aging Black Mamba had recently been upset when he heard such words, harsher than the sound urging him to have a son.
After all, how many people can accept the fact that they are getting old.
And Janis contributed 13 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 7 turnovers in the first game of his career, which also attracted heated discussions.
A lot of people are saying that Janis can't play at all, why give him so much time.
To this, Kupchak responded: "No way, there is this condition at home." ”
The rookies of the Class of 2013 vomited blood, while others were still struggling for playing time. The Lakers' No. 15 show has been handpicked by Lord Duke as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He's playing. It's basically a group of veterans of the Lakers who take turns to be nannies, and they don't scold him for running the wrong tactics, and they are encouraged to continue to shoot if they lose their shots. was bullied, and the Duke found his way back.
Is this the reason why you came to the NBA to be an uncle?
No way, the family does have this condition.
What made the rookies vomit even more blood happened in Game 2. In the second game against the Bobcats, Kobe Bryant was inexplicably rested, and then the Duke also came off the bench.
Milicic, Boozer, Sean Marion and Byron Davis are four veterans who directly appeared with the Greek monster, and this rookie who has just entered the alliance actually got unlimited firing rights.
Everybody knows how bad his offensive skills are.
But he actually got his chance.
The fans at the scene actually screamed loudly, applauding this rookie from the bottom of their hearts.
And the reason why they are so applauded is that the Duke called the Greek monster in an earlier interview: "He's the future of our Lakers, look at his amazing physical condition." HE WILL BECOME THE FOURTH ACTIVE BUG-TYPE PLAYER. The other three are LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and me! ”
When the Duke said such things, the fans were immediately excited. Originally, there was still some criticism of Janis's voice, but now, almost one-sidedly, encouragement and support.
and instructed the Lakers to carefully cultivate the future of the Lakers.
In this regard, little Atai, Brother Wusheng, Captain Bearded, and Mr. Marion are quite concerned. Whether it is a training camp or a competition venue, it is indeed a teaching from the heart, and all kinds of deduction details.
And when the Lakers were obsessed with developing rookies. The South Coast's Miami Heat are off to an epic start after bringing together the Big Four.
The collaboration of the four superstars is like the core of the strongest U.S. team, although Howard's strength has decreased compared to the previous two years due to a back injury. But when he joined the Big Three, the energy of the whole team was amazing.
The 22-game winning streak in the opening game pushed their myth to the extreme.
Before the San Antonio Spurs beat them, the Miami media even shouted the slogan of winning the championship.
But in the end, they were still in St. Anthony, and they were sniped by the old men. Tim Duncan led Whiteside and other elite players to kill the Big Four at AT&T Arena, and the most crucial thing was that the Spurs caused damage to the box from the start. Dwight Howard, who was plagued by fouls, was out of the court for at least 25 minutes.
In the final moments, Popovich once again used a lewd shark-slashing tactic, cementing the lead by constantly sending Howard to the free-throw line to secure the lead.
The victory broke the Miami Heat's unbeaten streak.
But... More people still think that the Heat are invincible and the Spurs are just a fluke.
A lot of people are starting to ask if this season still makes sense? Does Miami's Big Four mean that the NBA's finale is officially coming?
The Los Angeles Lakers appear indifferent to this.
They are still working tirelessly to cultivate the Greek monsters, and they don't care about the results at all. It has always maintained the sixth and seventh position in the West. This ranking has made the teams in the top half of the league scared, and no one wants to run into the Lakers in the first round.
While the Lakers are salty right now, who knows when they'll be playing normally?
Especially when in mid-November, Lord Duke scored 76 points in Madison Garden.
In this game, the Duke made a crazy 41 shots.
By the end of the game of single-handedly beating the New York Knicks' defense, Carmelo Anthony's expression was even about to cry.
God knows what he thought before the game, and he actually trash-talked to Duke Snoopy: "The whole world knows that your scoring level has come up, are you interested in competing with me?" ”
Carmelo Anthony has always been very confident in his scoring ability, and he has always believed that in the whole league, apart from Kobe, only he has the most complete scoring skills and the strongest scoring ability.
In addition, he has always believed that Snoopy, who is organized in tandem, is more dangerous, so he simply provoked Duke Snoopy to the point of no return.
So, he saw what it means to be an all-round attack pattern without dead ends.
Although Snoopy has been wandering around in the past summer, he has not delayed the work in his hands at all, and has been practicing his skills.
Now that Cameron Anthony is so agitated, he simply confessed.
I'm already 25 years old, and I don't want to do anything about it anymore.
It's just a flat push all the way! What a big deal.
So, the audience scored 76 points and dedicated a song to the old club: The person I love the most hurts me the most!
In fact, the Duke has a chance to score a higher score in this game.
He was out of the game with three minutes to go.
With the way he felt at the time, there was no problem at all in breaking Kobe Bryant's scoring record.
But what is the need? I don't want to upset the pH balance in Bryant's body, he's working in Los Angeles right now. If I hadn't given birth to a son this time, Vanessa would have killed me. ”
The Duke has now sung 'Kobe Bryant can't give birth to a son' as a pop song.
Now the whole world is waiting for Kobe Bryant's whistle-blowing stunner.
In the matter of having children, the black mamba can no longer strike iron!
And when the Duke returned to Los Angeles with an easy score of the season in New York, he immediately announced a rotational break.
He has no interest in fighting with the Miami Big Four for a youth without regrets.
He is now hanging LeBron James and others, so that they have nowhere to vent.
Anyway, it's not me who is sad.
And he didn't do it for a reason at all, it was just fun.
In this battle of the spotlight, the Black Mamba leads a group of veterans plus Greek monsters.
I have to say that the Greek monster has been trained by the four villains for nearly half a season, although the offense has not developed anything. But the defense and the thickness of the body have really improved a lot.
In this game, he fully targeted LeBron James.
211 has the body of a center, he plays small forward, and he doesn't lose at all. The long arms and long legs, coupled with the defensive details learned from the old martial saint of Atai, made James very uncomfortable.
In this game, his performance was clearly out of order.
And Kobe Bryant, who has only played at home this season, was quite brave that night. Not only did he dunk Howard, but he also made a series of hands from beyond the three-point line.
The Lakers, who are old, weak, sick and disabled, actually took the lead in the first three quarters.
If it weren't for the lack of fitness of the veterans entering the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant would have been caught again.
The Miami Heat really can't get out of it all.
In the end, the score was 121:113.
The Miami Big Four did their best to win by eight points.
After the game, Kupchak, the best actor in the show, ran to the front of the media again. "Miami has made so much progress. We will definitely keep this lesson in mind, train hard, and actively transform in the future. Strive to lose less in the next encounter. ”
Forehead....
Why does this sound so sarcastic? You let a Duke Snoopy who scored 76 points in a single game, and you still said that Miami has improved too much?
This is a blatant mockery!
But anyway, Kupchak doesn't care anyway.
There is a duke covering him, and he dares to pretend to be anything.
The other day it was also said that the Lakers should get at least five All-Star spots.
This took the alliance by surprise. Originally, the league also planned to give the Lakers four spots, so they directly gave them the option to vote. Snoopydu, Kobe Bryant and Whiteside.
This made Kupchak complain for a while: "Adam Shaw, where did you put our Greek monsters?" Isn't a defensive titan who averages 11.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks per game worthy of an All-Star vote? Isn't Steve Nash, Ron Artest worthy of the nomination? ”
Forehead....
It's not unworthy.
And not unworthy.
With Lord Duke's prestige, if his teammates are selected for the voting list, what is the difference between being an All-Star starter?
There are a lot of All-Star level players in the West, so you have to give others a small chance, right?
Besides, the Greek monster is still underqualified, and Steve Nash's level this year has slipped a bit compared to last year. As for Mr. Little Atai, he is a guy with a basic salary of one million a year who came out to join in the fun.
As for the fact that there are only three votes, Dugg takes a very light view.
The All-Star thing was already quite tedious for him.
What he cares about now is... The trade window will soon close with the All-Star Weekend, so why not find another veteran small forward to coach Janis offense?
The four villains do have a set of defense, and the Greek monster alphabet brother has been taught by them for half a season, and he has made very good progress.
In the last game, the picture of him defending LeBron James surprised Dugg.
In time, there will be no problem in becoming a defensive giant. After all, the masters teach well, and their own physical conditions are hard enough.
But Dugg expects more from the Greek monsters than just defensive giants.
Kobe Bryant's declining form has become an indisputable fact, and the last game against the Heat also showed that the team must have two offensive players with the ball.
You can't pin your hopes on Nick Young, right?
Although Nick Young is strong in singles, he is like Kobe Bryant who is fully weakened and the passing button is completely destroyed.
It's okay to let him play a mess once in a while, and it would be an unrealistic fantasy to expect him to do big things within the tactical system.
So, it's still necessary to cultivate Greek monsters.
But where to find him a small forward who is proficient in offense.
