Chapter 162: The First Chaos in History
The last stop of the western tour, and the most important battle in Hu Qingniu's heart, Los Angeles.
No one can ignore the Lakers, and if they still lead the invincible lineup of the Wizards last season, Hu Qingniu may be a lot more relieved, but the current lineup can be said to be more soldiers and more generals.
The Bobcats have a lot of role players in the lineup, but the superstars who can rewrite the situation are much inferior, Wade is slightly immature, and Dazhi is physically limited, and he is still lacking such a domineering spirit.
Just like last season, Hu Qingniu never worried about fighting bayonets at critical moments, Barkley and Ewing couldn't take their turn to shoot, and the elegant pennies and Uncle Shan could only watch from the sidelines, because there was still such a true god as Master Qiao in the team. When it comes to the critical moment, close the door and let Master Qiao go! It's a real trick to watch, and it's hard to try.
At present, the Bobcats have experience, courage, and who are the superstar candidates who have seen the big scene? The person who pressed the scene at the critical moment, in fact, Hu Qingniu had already thought of it.
When the lineup was first formed, Hu Qingniu thought that Wade was too young, and no matter how old the first-year rookie was, his leadership and experience were always not so strong. Because a lot of things are still the first time for rookies.
So in fact, when Hu Qingniu was considering the lineup, he chose a superstar to press the field, he is still staying in the Charlotte Sanatorium every day for a walk, chatting with the neighbors.
Sabonis was a natural leader, and as an invincible big man, he developed a superb playmaking skill when he was in physical trouble. He is more than capable of stabilizing the situation.
But the problem is, Sabonis's leg injury is not even known to Hu Qingniu, when it will heal, a month? Two months? His leg injury was so complex that he trained in the early stages and added to the injury in the later stages that Sabonis usually suffered greatly when he walked.
But Hu Qingniu is facing not all bad news, there is also good news, the fat man is confirmed to miss one game because of a toe injury, so the Bobcats are facing the Lakers without the fat man this time. Although the Lakers without a fat man still have three theoretical supergiants, Kobe, Malone and Payton, Hu Qingniu already feels that the Lakers have lost at least 6 successes.
The Lakers at this stage are either fat or soulless, and they are scattered. All the tactics of the Lakers need the cooperation of the fat man, even if Kobe Bryant fights alone, he also needs the fat man's containment on the inside.
Malone and Payton are even more clear to hug the fat man's thighs, they still have a few successes left, and it is estimated that even Phil Jackson can't figure it out.
-
What has changed between this Lakers team now and the Lakers team last year, from the most superficial thing, Fisher was withdrawn to the bench position, and he played poorly in the bench position. The two-point shooting rate and three-point shooting rate both dropped by 7 or 8 percentage points, and Fisher was used to partnering with Kobe Bryant and the fat man, playing next to the superstar, and only needed to pick up the pot and let him play with the second team, but he was confused.
Another obvious point is that the Lakers have aged, and Hu Qingniu studied the video and found that the Lakers' quick counterattack after defending the opponent this season has almost disappeared. Fisher and Horry may still be able to run, but Payton and Malone?
It has to be said that giving up Horry and signing the aging Malone is a big trick, and the aging superstar is the biggest negative equity after leaving the home team. But there's no shortage of teams like that in the NBA to bet on their form.
The current Malone is a good example, he dominates the Jazz team, and no one competes with him for the right to play. Although he averaged 20 points per game, it was based on the backing of the entire team, and after leaving the Jazz this season, Malone was exhausted.
The scoring data dropped to 13 points, and because of the slow footwork, he was often crushed by the new generation of power forwards.
On the other hand, Horry can also win two championships with the Spurs after that.
In 2005, in Game 5 of the Finals against the Detroit Pistons, Horry scored just three points in the first three quarters and exploded to score 21 points in the fourth quarter and overtime. With a three-pointer he hit just before the game, the Spurs narrowly beat the Pistons 96-95 and took a series 3-2 lead.
Super role players like Horry are actually the pieces of the puzzle for championship-winning teams, and aging superstars can't escape the result of being abandoned or retiring after changing teams. This is a lot of intangible assets lost for the team that was introduced.
Is this Lakers team stronger or weaker than last year? Many of the current leagues are meeting such luxurious teams for the first time. At the moment the deal was completed, even Prince Prince, the little prince of the Pistons, said in an interview: "When the news of the trade came, my reaction was that the championship went to the Lakers." ”
Hu Qingniu reserved his opinion. In his opinion, it has undoubtedly become weaker.
Last year's Lakers still maintained the core lineup of three consecutive championships, which was nothing more than Kobe Bryant and O'Neal having a temper tantrum and not cooperating with the game, which solved this problem, and the Lakers were still the Purple and Gold Dynasty team. But now that the squad is being dismantled to form F4, the team's rhythm is obviously wrong.
The first is that the contradiction between Kobe Bryant and everyone is getting bigger and bigger, Payton and Malone are here to hug their thighs, but people are hugging fat people's thighs. And as seniors, Payton and Malone are full of honors, Kobe's mentality is very immature, and he still has the attitude of being the boss and my second. Of course, the second elder was very dissatisfied.
Also in the summer, something terrible happened to the Lakers: Kobe's Eagle County incident. This set the stage for the Lakers' season failure. Bryant had to travel between the arena and Colorado for the trial, although he was able to score 40 points without warming up after getting off the plane. It seems that Bryant takes his anger out on the court after every court session.
But this is damaging to Kobe's image and the Lakers' image, and many fans are beginning to abandon Kobe and the Lakers.
If there is a problem with a person's character, it is difficult to fix other people's opinions, at least at the time. Hu Qingniu even believes that without the strong support of his wife Vanessa, Kobe Bryant is very likely to not be able to get out of this quagmire.
Time is capable of forgetting everything, but it is clearly not time yet.
Kobe Bryant is often absent due to court hearings, O'Neal is often absent due to injury, and I heard that Karl Malone has also sprained his knee recently, and his on-court movement has been impaired. There is no way to talk about the cooperation between F4, and the relationship between F4 is like seeing flowers in a fog.
As for Kobe Bryant and Fatty, it's no secret that the two don't pass the ball to each other.
As the head coach who is best at managing superstar relationships, Phil Jackson can't even handle such a job.
The current Lakers can be called the most chaotic team in history.
