Chapter 1190 [Self-righteous Australian SB]

On December 30, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks by 52 points at home, and the opening 36 consecutive wins ranked first in the league.

The Mavericks have only played singles this season, with little to no cooperation with each other.

Their biggest weakness is the interior, with non-draft NBA picks Salah Medgery being able to play as a starting center. Several of the insiders selected by the Mavericks draft are parallel goods, and there are two second-round shows Guo Xu can't even remember his name.

This year, the Mavericks will definitely be in the lottery and can pick up the top picks, and the biggest attraction of their game is Wiggins, who is in the third grade. Today's Wiggins is still more desperate, not raising Mamba. Harrison Barnes, another highly-paid poacher, can also score a lot of points, but he won't lead the team to a win.

The Mavericks lack a great playmaker on the outside, and Deron Williams can retire after playing this season, with average offensive efficiency and a black hole on the defensive end.

Previously, it was not bad for the Mavericks to have Jrue Holiday as the starting point guard, but this summer Holiday jumped out of the final year of his contract and became a restricted free agent, and the Kings poached him from a four-year, $100 million contract.

Mavericks management felt that Holiday had an injury concern and did not match the contract, and now regretted it. Holiday has performed well for the Kings, averaging 19 points and 6 assists per game, and has become a good helper for James Harden.

If Guo Xu hadn't played for a short time and only played 25 minutes today, he could easily cut 50+. He can get rid of Delon with a change of direction with his speed on the counterattack, and Chubby can't stop him except for fouling.

Mavericks substitute Devin Harris is also a food delivery in the face of Guo Xu. Harris, who is approaching the age of 34, has lost his speed, and even at the top of his speed, Harris is only a second-rate star, and his peak is only one year.

Injuries were Harris' biggest enemy, as he was named an All-Star once, and in the years that followed, he suffered several shoulder injuries, knee and hamstring injuries. The impact of injuries on players is enormous, especially for a speedy point guard like Harris.

Guo Xu can achieve a super record, in addition to technology, another key is not to get injured. His attendance rate is impressive, with almost full attendance in the regular season in his career, and he was seriously injured only once in the playoffs by Vujasic.

Guo Xu won the Western Conference Player of the Month for December, and the only competitor was teammate Durant. The Warriors and Spurs are currently 28-6, and the Lakers are too poor in terms of record, and it will be difficult for the Warriors to get another 70+ wins this season.

Durant joined the Lakers as the team's second-leading scorer, averaging 25 points on 16.3 shots per game. In terms of assists, Durant can't compare with Guo Xu, and he can't compete with Guo Xu for honor.

The Lakers maintained their unbeatable momentum, and there was only one problem on the team, not on the court, but in the locker room.

Center Andrew Bogut has been a fringe man for the Lakers, with little chance to play, and he is very unhappy with this, always trying to trouble the young player Zubac, causing conflicts in the locker room.

The coaching staff is more than willing to develop young rookie Zubac, and after Adams is off the court, Zubac is basically a workout time.

Zubac averaged 16 minutes per game and scored 8.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists. He relied on his height advantage to receive the ball and shoot after the air cut, and it was difficult for opponents to block, and his shooting touch under the basket was still very soft, with a shooting rate of 53.6%.

Adams started with a lot of playing time, and occasionally Harrell made cameo appearances as center to play the Death Five, with the result that Bogut didn't play at all, playing only four games since he recovered from a knee injury, all in garbage time, averaging 3.5 minutes per game.

Bogut is a proud man, he's only 32 years old, he thinks he's still strong, and he was a starter when he was with the Bucks.

He began to trouble Zubac frequently in the locker room, and the captains of Guo Xu and Horford were on the side of the youngsters, and he went to communicate with Tyrone Lue to ask for more playing time.

The Lakers coaching staff's schedule completely disrupted Bogut's plans. He wants to sign a one-year salary with the Lakers, cooperate with Guo Xu to brush up the data beautifully, and sign a big contract with other teams next year. He will be 33 years old next year, and now the league's salary has risen so much, as long as he has data, he will start with an annual salary of at least 10 million.

Tyrone Lue treats him as a veteran who has won in retirement, and wants him to retire after this season.

Tyrone Lue said: "Steven's starting line-up can't be changed, Ivica is not yet 20 years old, everyone can see the potential, and you can't play power forward, I have to arrange it that way. ”

Bogut didn't give up, and took his agent to Kupchak to react to the situation, wanting to use his contribution to the Lakers as an excuse for Kupchak to put pressure on the coaching staff and increase his playing time.

Bogut always overestimated himself, and when he first entered the league, he despised Australian veteran Longley, believing that he would be the next interior giant. He also looked down on Yao Ming, looked down on many famous stars, and was a little more honest after being suppressed by Kobe Bryant without the ball. He was an All-Star in his prime, and then his confidence returned.

After playing for a few years with the Bucks, Bogut's stats are about to fall out, and he still doesn't think he's weak. He believes that with a proper tactical system, he can still play star stats. For example, if he is asked to play as a starter and take on the same job as Adams, his ability to eat cake is not much worse.

The question is, why would the Lakers do this? The world doesn't revolve around Bogut, is what you say? The Lakers, of course, choose to develop players with potential who can play for the team for many years to come. Bogut looked like a passerby, even if he said in an interview when he joined that he wanted to play for the Lakers until he retired.

Kupchak is full of gray hair, what wind and waves has he not seen? What kind of players haven't you seen? Bogut said that the Lakers' good words were only for his own benefit, wanting to get more playing time. Once this season is over, if a team is willing to offer him a high salary, he will definitely leave without saying a word, and maybe he will think that the Lakers' contract renewal is insincere.

He jumped out in a hurry when his personal interests were damaged, completely ignoring the harmony in the locker room. Guo Xu said that he didn't work either, which was related to how much money he made.

Kupchak cut through the mess quickly and unceremoniously made a trade and sent Bogut directly to the Mavericks in exchange for a second-round pick. It just so happens that the Mavericks are short of a center right now, doesn't Bogut want to play? It's definitely a long time to hit Dallas.

Mavericks management is very grateful to the Lakers, this is a charcoal in the rain. Although Bogut's form has declined greatly, at least he is not bad, able to defend the box and grab rebounds.

Bogut was dumbfounded when he received the news, and immediately wanted to spray the Lakers.

Kupchak called him and said, "You're not happy with the ball so we're trading you to a team that can play for a long time, and if you're not happy with the Lakers, we're going to say that you're ruining the locker room harmony and doing it for yourself." ”

Kupchak hung up the phone without waiting for Bogut to express his thoughts, and now that the Lakers are rising, the veterans can't get in the queue when they rush to come. Bogut had played for the Lakers before management gave him face, and they knew from the beginning that he wasn't of much use. Since he can't see clearly that he is going to make trouble, there is no need to continue to give him face.

How many fans can a big-mouthed, always self-righteous Australian SB get? It has to be the best, and fans who like to watch slots and cover will like Bogut, right?

There is no pressure on the Lakers to send Bogut away, and no one will say that they are not righteous or anything like that, and now the Lakers are very confident.

As soon as Bogut left, the Lakers vacated a spot, and many people in the free market who didn't play immediately offered to take it.

Kupchak didn't sign right away, the Lakers didn't have injuries, and 14 were enough......
