Chapter 402: Some People Are Happy and Some Are Sad
Returning to Los Angeles with a loss, the Lakers weren't all too frustrated. Because the strength of Spurs deserves to win this game.
Add to that the fact that they've worked hard, and who's to blame a bunch of hard-working players.
Wacker was serious on the surface, but he was only angry at one person, and only at one person. That's why Zhang Yi didn't listen to him and use traits.
Although to his surprise, the Spurs' Simpkins also entered a similar trait in the confrontation, which gave the Lakers another killer feature.
However, this trait is not a regular weapon of the Lakers in the first place, and it doesn't matter if it is learned by others. After all, with Thomas's experience, Simpkins is not a person who is eager for quick success, so he will not use it casually.
Because this defeat was planned and unexpected. Gianna, who is the manager of the team, instead of giving any bad opinions, took the Lakers management to pick up the plane.
They booked a high-end restaurant directly to wash the dust for the Lakers, and the pomp and circumstance was as if they had returned from winning the championship.
made Zhang Yi and the others a little embarrassed. After all, it's always bad to lose. Even if they are still firmly in the first place in the West and the first in the league!
Gianna did this to relieve their stress. Because it was already difficult to not be upset before.
Because for a playoff team, just being able to win the planned game normally is a victory.
After more than 20 games, the Lakers have never been upset by a team weaker than themselves, which is already a miracle.
After all, NBA teams are not one-on-one battles, they look at the strength of the team. No matter how strong the Lakers' Zhang Yi, Robert or even Vali are, they can't win for the Lakers.
The so-called NBA has no weak teams because team games will cause accidents.
It's like getting into a bitter battle when you fight a king and a knight. If it's a team with a lot of strength that gets entangled in this kind of team, there will definitely be a problem with the mentality of the players.
That's when the mentality changes the game. This is often the case when a weak team beats a strong team.
Zhang Yi and others have a good performance regardless of whether they are behind or ahead. This tactical literacy can also be seen in the game against Spurs.
They didn't give up because they fell behind in the end, but the bigger the better. That in itself is the biggest surprise of all.
For an NBA team with a predominance of rookies, it's easy to have a situation where personal issues affect the whole team. Not to mention the fact that there is such a thing as a rookie wall......
None of the current Bruins have this situation, but that doesn't mean it won't appear in the rest of the season.
So now people predict that the Lakers' overall record this year will be around 65 wins, and if the Warriors play such an opening, it is estimated that people will dare to say 75 wins.
That's the unstable rookie. But no matter how predicted, almost all basketball experts chose the Lakers as the No. 1 finish in the regular season this year.
And with the start of the all-star vote, Zhang Yi unsurprisingly climbed to the top from the first place and has been far ahead.
That's what the audience vote is. No matter how popular Curry Jr. is in the United States, Zhang Yidong's face itself is an unsolvable advantage.
There are more fans in the Grand Duke than in the United States, so Zhang Yi's first stage of voting is about to catch up with the sum of the third and fourth places. This is also a situation that has not been seen in recent years.
And interestingly, in addition to Zhang Yi of the Lakers, Robert also appeared in the Western bench lineup voted by the audience.
That's the advantage of playing in Los Angeles, and generally speaking, it's a god-level player who can be an All-Star in his rookie season. But it's clear that Robert is promising this year.
As for Vali, it's a pity, after all, he didn't have too many highlights in the game. It's not about strength, it's about all-star players.
Data is first and foremost a weight. The reason why Robert was able to come off the bench was also limited to spectator voting. Once the votes of the players and managers are added, the final result is also difficult to say.
After all, there are a lot of stars who have been doing well at the point back position this year, which is not good news for Robert, a rookie in his first season.
But regardless of the player vote or the coach vote, Zhang Yi is basically the All-Star vote king, and there is no division between east and west.
The Lakers' next game is to play the New Jersey Nets at home. The fateful battle between Zhang Yi and Valanda, the king of rookies, which people are paying much attention to, has finally begun.
Although Zhang Yi's popularity is very strong now, and the Lakers have an excellent record.
But people did not ignore that the Nets, led by Valanda, also played an eye-catching performance.
Especially after the rest of Thomas, the core of the New York Knicks, they are chasing the first place in the East with a wave of six straight wins.
Just like the Lakers, the Nets, who played the league's vice-president record last year, are now turning over and singing......
Although they were hit by strong teams in the beginning, as Valanda matured, they have become a force to be reckoned with in the East.
As the star of the draft, Valanda definitely deserves her pick, averaging 16 assists per game in addition to 28 points.
For this reason, he is also the current assist king in the league, and there is no player who can get the assist king in the first year of the rookie. But Valanda shook off second place, averaging three per game.
This means that the performance of the two of them is not at the same level at all.
Whether it is Zhang Yi or Valanda now, they have all opened up their fame for their strongest generation. Compared to these two rookies who have excellent ability to lead the team.
Sean, who is in the position of Tanhua, is almost lucky. Originally, the overall strength of the Hornets was not good, although Shaun, who averaged 28.5 points per game, was added.
However, the weakness of their own lack of offensive firepower has not changed. Especially in order to be able to play a better match with Sean.
The Hornets even signed a 2.14-meter high school forward with a maximum salary. As a result, the player only played three games, and contributed an average of 16 points and 10 rebounds per game before the season was reimbursed.
So their team owners are even thinking about whether to continue to mess around, because this year's luck is so bad.
But how is Sean's character likely to admit defeat? He even said before the media that as long as the team is bad, he will not renew his contract with the team after his rookie season!
This is certainly for the owner, although the Hornets did bring in a blue-collar guard center in the end.
But this guy didn't call Sean either, which led him to lead the team single-core. Now the Hornets are still in sixth place in the East, but the prospects are not very good......
This is what some people are happy and some people are sad!
