"The Clippers slaughtered the city's nobles on coronation night, and the Lakers will stage the Los Angeles Cup!"
The Los Angeles Times report is full of the smell of a dead father, I don't know if it's up to . Bundan wrote, looking at the urine of this title, it is estimated that it is him.
The report wrote: In this game, the Clippers inside double-core table xiàn brave, and two substitutes also scored double-doubles, but the Lakers couldn't find players who scored more than 10 points. Losing is not unacceptable, and a bigger mess may be controversial when it is said - is the team's performance still arguing for Kobe's indispensability and absolute leadership? Not to mention that the Flyers are one year older, if they can't establish the dominance of the point guard and really enrich the interior scenes, how can the luxurious Lakers turn the theory into reality, and how can they get infinitely close to the championship as in the public opinion?
On October 30, 2008, the world's attention to the Los Angeles derby finally ended in tragedy for the Lakers, with a score of 130:98, and the Los Angeles Lakers once again lost to the defending champion by 32 points. After this battle, the F5 formed by the Lakers seems to be another success? For a joke.
Ji Guoqiu 20 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks, Ji Guoqi 22 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, Billups 11 points and 4 assists, and Crawford 24 points.
Bryant had 18 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Gasol had 14 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Davis had 15 points and four assists. Margeti had 12 points, Odom 10 and Bynum had seven points and four rebounds.
The Lakers didn't stage a counter-offensive drama in the second half, but made a series of mistakes, and the Clippers fought back several times to extend the margin to 20 points, and then 30 points...... If it hadn't been garbage time in the final quarter, perhaps the final margin would have been 40 points.
Byron. Davis stressed after the game: "Our lineup must be run-in, and most of the mistakes are related to the Lakers practicing new style of play. The team is still in the run-in stage, and the first game of the new season met the defending champions, which was too difficult for the Lakers. ”
Of course, reporters will not agree with this explanation, the Lakers are not a team like the Bobcats after all, and even if they have just been built, they should reflect their absolute strength in the run-in. But the Lakers didn't do it, and the table was like a loose game, and they were led by 10 points in the first quarter of the game, and they were almost powerless to fight back in the whole game.
At this time, if you look at how the media touted the Lakers the day before the game, it really makes people laugh off.
The Los Angeles Times the day before the game. That is, the report published on October 29, when they quoted the headline: Champion odds top + f5. The Lakers have set the tone for the championship.
This report confirms that it is up to. Bundan wrote, he wrote in the report: After two consecutive years of failure, the Lakers formed a luxury F5 battleship and became the favorite to win the championship in the new season, and in the latest championship odds in Las Vegas, the Lakers and Clippers tied for the top spot. And among the top 20 stars listed by ESPN, the Lakers occupy four spots, ranking first in the league. We can see that there are all kinds of signs that the Purple and Gold will definitely make a big difference in the new season.
ESPN has announced a list of the top 20 active players, with Byron Brown. Davis is 18th, Gasol is 14th and Kobe Bryant is 1st. With three players in the top 20 of the power rankings and three would-be All-Stars, the Purple and Gold have surpassed the West's main rivals Clippers, Spurs and Hornets, as well as the Celtics, Cavaliers and Magic in the East.
Although there are many fortuitous factors in the NBA, if you want to win a championship, you must have so-called hard power, which is the direct reason why the Clippers have changed dramatically after the arrival of Billups and Artest. So after the upgrade configuration in the new season, the Purple and Gold maintain a competitive advantage in at least three positions, and the chemistry between the stars brings immeasurable benefits to the team, if the Lakers in the past two years are skinny camels, then now they are a camel that is almost dying.
Of course, the failure of the F4 group four years ago also taught the Purple and Gold a lesson, and the superficial star accumulation is only a necessary condition for clearing the level, but it is by no means a sufficient condition. The Lakers will have a lot of challenges to face in the new season, including overcoming injuries, keeping the superstars together, and getting the most out of the Big Five under the Zen Master Triangle strategy.
Kobe Bryant had earlier taken the initiative and head coach Phil. Jackson discussed the tactics for the new season, and from the internal feedback, Peter Pan is also happy to sacrifice the ball to let Davis take control, and turn himself into an off-ball runner and finisher.
Less than a day after the report appeared, it was up to. Bendan was cheated by the team he loved so much, and this slap was loud enough!
Before Ji Guosha had time to taunt after winning, Mavericks boss Mark. Cuban was the first to express his disdain for the Lakers lineup in an interview with ESPN, saying: "The Lakers have done this before, Gary. Peyton, Carl. Malone, Kobe Bryant and Shaq make up F4, but it still doesn't work. ”
Cuban was referring to the 2003-04 Lakers, who lost to the Pistons in the Finals that year. And when introducing the team's new signings to the media and the team's season ticket holders, Cuban said: "They still need chemistry, they need the players to think about going together, I don't know if it's going to be that way, but the last time they didn't succeed with a combination of key players like that, it slapped everyone in the face." ”
Former Lakers star Gary. Payton gave an exclusive interview to TNT and spoke freely about the Lakers' F5 formation, saying: "In fact, after the preseason, I predicted that the Lakers might not be able to do what the fans imagined, and they probably couldn't understand the complexity of the Lakers in '04. First of all, we were plagued by injuries, and if Malone hadn't been injured at the time, maybe we would have won the championship. Secondly, there are constant conflicts between O'Neill and the team's management. Third, Bryant had been plagued by the J case at the time, and the young man thought he might have to spend the rest of his life in the class room. Many times, he can't fully devote his energy to the basketball court. We can't blame him. Because if it were me. You're going to have the same problem -- you're in the middle of a strong case. And it is not known how it turned out. He had to fly to Denver every day, he didn't think he was going to win in the end, and all the media and the public were talking about how he was going to lose the case. People didn't know about that, he wasn't fully focused on basketball at the time, and we did have a lot of problems at the time. ”
Peyton's words are typical of which pot is not opened, and it is said that he and Kobe Bryant had a big fight in the locker room, which is not difficult to explain his fuel to the fire.
Ji Guosha found that there were really a lot of enemies in the scum family. Before he could exert his strength, there were already so many people outside who couldn't wait to jump out and fall into the well! In fact, the Lakers only lost one game, and F5 may not repeat the mistakes of F4. However, the little fox still followed everyone to fall into the well happily, what is the wall falling down and everyone pushes it, Ji Guosha can be regarded as having seen it.
The more luxurious the Lakers' roster, the more jealous people will be, which in turn attracts hatred for the Clippers, and the Lakers are really good people in this regard.
Ji Guoyi wrote on his blog the next day: "Everyone understands that not every super combination that simply stacks multiple superstars together will definitely win the championship in the end." In fact. Throughout the history of the NBA, many supergroups have been formed in a time when they were formed. But in the end, it didn't achieve much, and the combination ended up with nothing and became a short-lived combination. ”
This is another fair curse, but the Lakers are very popular, and this will be the only little fox who will laugh at them, and there is no need to bother taking care of it if the hair is completely lost.
On November 1, the Clippers defeated the Denver Nuggets 115-105 at home, Ji Guoqiu scored 15 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks, Ji Guoyi 20 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, Billups 12 points and 5 assists, and Crawford 17 points.
On November 2, the Clippers lost to the Utah Jazz 91-96 away, Ji Guoqiu scored 18 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks, Ji Guoyi 12 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Billups 8 points and 4 assists, and Crawford 15 points.
On November 4, the Clippers defeated the Utah Jazz 110-95 at home and successfully took revenge! Ji Guoqiu had 25 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoqiu had 30 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, Billups had 10 points and 10 assists, and Crawford had 19 points.
The Clippers have a 2-1 record in 4 days and 3 games, and the internal duo is stable, Crawford, the sixth man, also handed over enough support firepower, and the forward defense also met the psychological expectations of the old Dunleavy, the fly in the ointment is that Billups' offensive firepower has declined, and Dragic has not adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, except for the first big win over the Lakers, the next three games are not satisfactory.
Overall, as long as the Clippers have no problem on the inside, solid defense on the outside, and Crawford occasionally takes a dip, the defending champions are not afraid to face any opponent, and they are currently in second place in the West with a 3-1 record.
In the West, the San Antonio Spurs started the season with four straight wins and are temporarily in first place. Then there is the 3-1 Clippers, but in third place is not the Lakers, but the Portland Trail Blazers led by Huang Mamba. As for the Lakers, they started the game with a tragic three-game losing streak and are temporarily tied for the bottom of the rankings with the Kings.
On November 6th, the Los Angeles derby will be played again, this time at the home of the Lakers, and the league has let the two derby teams meet in a row for two weeks, which makes the Lakers begin to complain about the schedule arranged by the league, Lakers fans think that their team is running in, and at this time, it is clear that the league is deliberately trying to embarrass them when they meet the defending champions in a row.
The Lakers have recently suffered three consecutive defeats, and even James in the East is a little unable to sit still, he thinks that he thinks that the Lakers' super luxury may fail, but he didn't expect such a lineup to be so bad, although the 2004 F4 fell short, but at least they played well in the regular season.
"Everybody likes the Lakers, but it's useless, even if they have a super luxurious roster. In 2004, Malone, Payton, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant also didn't win the championship, and the Lakers with F4 at that time at least played well. ”
James's words have two meanings, the first is that having a luxurious lineup may not necessarily win the championship, and the other is that the Lakers' current lineup can be called luxurious, but the table Xiàn is obviously not as good as the 2004 lineup by Ma Long, Payton, O'Neal and Kobe.
"The Lakers are like the U.S. national team right now, and a team with Kobe Bryant, or Gasol, alone is enough to make the rest of the league fearful, let alone have an All-Star roster of Kobe, Gasol, Davis, Odom and Margety. They and the Clippers are two legendary teams in the league, but the Lakers have a bigger market and are stronger than any other team in the league. ”
I can't see that the gorilla's sarcastic ability is not bad, the addition of Brand and Little Mo makes Cleveland unprecedentedly strong, the Cavaliers and Spurs are both four wins in a row, they are currently leading in the East, the gorillas can be described as proud at this time, and the black people are also not soft, not inferior to the little fox.
"Four in a row?"
The Los Angeles Times used such a headline with little confidence in the second city derby half a month later, which shows that the current Lakers are already a team that everyone is not optimistic about, and the wind is changing so fast!
