Chapter 413: Bottleneck
After the All-Star Weekend voting began, a lot of things were catching the fans' attention.
During this time, Chen Yu also knew that he needed a victory or two to influence everyone's final vote.
Chen Yu has some plans for these things.
After the All-Star voting began, the Lakers' game began.
This year's All-Star voting started at the Christmas War, and before the Lakers started this season, everyone knew that they would definitely have a mediocre record, so they did not arrange the Christmas War-for-tat, and Chen Yu was rested on this day.
However, after the end of the Christmas war, Chen Yu's game officially began.
The Lakers didn't face too many opponents in their first game, the Kings anyway.
In the face of a team like the Kings, anyway, although Chen Yu attaches great importance to tactics, he really despises it strategically, and he feels that this team is not particularly outstanding and worthy of worrying too much.
It's just that the NBA has no weak teams, which is vividly reflected in this game, and Chen Yu found that this team is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
In other words, it's not really how strong they are, the most important thing is that there are more and more teams in the league looking for ways to deal with the Lakers, and after everyone is looking for and constantly deducing and fighting little by little, everyone is more and more aware and aware of this.
So the Kings are still relatively targeted.
It's like it's difficult for a team to win a championship, but many teams have a chance, and it will be difficult to win two consecutive championships, and there are really only a handful of teams in history that can complete three consecutive championships.
That's because when you're the defending champion, the other 29 teams in the league are looking at you, and every game the other team is going to stand on the shoulders of the other teams and figure out a better way to deal with you.
In a few years, the championship team will easily be targeted, and no matter how many stars the team has in the team, it is still possible that others will study it thoroughly.
At a time like this, unless there is an invincible talent like Jordan or the OK combination, it is really almost impossible for a team to win three consecutive championships.
Although the Lakers are not the defending champions now, they have been too shining in the league before, which has made many teams study them, and the Lakers are far from reaching the championship level after all, and everyone knows that the root cause of solving the Lakers' problems is to solve the Chen Yu problem, so in such cases, everyone's research on the Lakers is really getting more and more thorough.
That's all this game is......
It's just that this kind of thing that may be thoroughly studied by a team, the most afraid of encountering is the explosion of the star's individual ability, because this kind of thing is simply unpredictable!
Chen Yu saw that his all-star vote was not bad, but he especially understood that this kind of goodness was not immutable, and if he didn't play well, he might be pulled down from the altar by them in minutes. Chen Yu's foundation is far less deep than that of James Kobe, and his current popularity and everyone's attention are basically pinned on his personal ability and data performance.
Therefore, Chen Yu played more resolutely in this game after being counterattacked by the Kings.
Throughout the third quarter of the game, Chen Yu withstood the opponent's bag and all kinds of harsh and tragic defense, and still scored 18 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and he also used such a game to help the Lakers directly make the Kings collapse in the third quarter, and Chen Yu didn't have to play in the final stage of the fourth quarter of the game, because the Kings had basically surrendered.
In the end, the Lakers won this victory on the road, Chen Yu got 41 points, 9 assists and 2 steals, which is still quite good anyway, and it can also echo the All-Star voting well.
In the next game after this game, the Lakers were not so lucky, and they met the Warriors.
The Warriors' strength is getting stronger and stronger now, and the Warriors are also using their various combinations to attack and defend in this game.
The Lakers lost this game, and Chen Yu scored 34 points and 11 assists in the game, which is still gorgeous. But the problem is that Chen Yu and they were not able to win.
Chen Yu slowly began to find a problem: after the last time he added points, his strength was visible to the naked eye, which Chen Yu himself knew very well, and there would be no other possibilities. It's just that the Lakers are getting harder and harder to play, and it's getting harder and harder to win anyway.
Chen Yu also knows what the reason is, to put it bluntly, it is still because other teams have a deeper understanding of the Lakers, and their targeted offense and defense of the Lakers are also becoming more and more powerful.
But from the Lakers' point of view...... Seriously, there aren't many tactical changes for D'Antoni, and there are many problems with on-court responses on the court, and it's unlikely that he will be completely counted on to transform the Lakers...... But if it is traded, Chen Yu feels that he does not know what kind of players he needs for the time being, and he does not have that much face to influence the Lakers' choice in this regard.
So Chen Yu can only do what he can do: try to improve his strength and make himself stronger and stronger!
In fact, this kind of other party's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and it touches you more and more thoroughly, which is a process of gradual adaptation for them, but for themselves, this is also a process of gradual adaptation. Because in the process, you will also learn a lot of things and understand what you can do when the other person is crazy about you.
Some things like this are not easy, and many people can't survive at all, which may be the reason why many "rookie walls" are produced...... Many rookies may not really be able to cross over.
But Chen Yu believes that he can cross over, and once he crosses, what he will usher in is definitely an enhancement of technology and physical fitness, and many other things.
You may be able to ask someone else about this, but it's clear that in the end, it's all about asking yourself to really figure it out and put it into practice.
After the Lakers' loss to the Warriors, they had a 4-4 record in the entire 8 games from 2013-2014, and it's clear that their record has been greatly affected.
However, Chen Yu himself is also summarizing progress.
PS: the chicken, there are really too many things, this chapter was written at 6 a.m....... I'm going to get up at half-past eight.
It feels like my head is going to explode.
Thank you all for your support.
