Chapter 183: The Cauldron of Talent
The Lakers' mood to get Paul George is known to the whole league, but Magic Johnson did not hesitate to stop the deal because the other party asked Ingram in this upcoming deal, which can also be seen that Ingram's status in Magic Johnson's mind.
However, although the Magic regarded him as a treasure, Ingram, who entered his second season in the league, is still a little unsatisfactory.
It's been good and bad, and it's certainly not what Lakers fans have come to expect.
One of the most critical problems is that his physical innate advantages have not been shown for a long time, including his performance on the breakthrough end, which has also unexpectedly fallen into struggle.
It's a bit of a scrambling.
However, judging from those good performances, he may not be far from the name of Durant Jr.
Although his statistics are indeed not as good as Durant's at the beginning, there is a noteworthy problem that Durant did not shoot well that year, and it was too common for games to fall below 40 percent.
But later, after the body was trained, the strength immediately rose to a level.
So Ingram doesn't lack everything, the only thing he lacks is his body, if his weight and muscles aren't like those of Durant.
Then his growth cycle is definitely much faster than Durant's.
As for now, it can only be boiled slowly.
One day the body is trained, and the new king of the Lakers will officially ascend the throne one day.
As for now, the continuous cross-steps are really beautiful, but the layup action after shaking off Pound Dexter is a little uncontrollable because of the weakness of the body.
Eventually, it popped up.
Robin and Brooke Lopez competed for the rebound, and the final outcome was the same as in the opening jump shot, with the more agile Robin Lopez getting the rebound.
"Haha, I'm smirking!" Robin passed the ball to Li Ming and didn't smack at his brother.
Brooke knew it was important to retreat, so he replied that you wait, and then left.
In the past, Robin was always eaten to death when he met his brother, because at that time, the focus of the offense was on the inside, and Brooke's offensive skills were much more gorgeous than him, and he couldn't prevent the former at all.
But now the offensive focus has shifted to the outside, and the inside line is more doing coolies and grabbing rebounds, and all of a sudden, he is much better than his brother.
Feng Shui takes turns, haha!
The Lakers hit the tailbone, and Ingram passed by head coach Wharton when he stepped back, who didn't know what to say to him, only to see him nod, and his whole face looked much better.
I think it should be comforting him that he didn't score the layup just now.
Look at Wharton's intimate eyes and soft tone, how else to say that Ingram is not for sale for the Lakers! If Wharton had a daughter, he would probably have the most gentle attitude.
Now Ingram enjoys it in advance.
It is definitely protecting self-confidence, so that the latter can continue to shoot without burden.
Li Ming came back here, and continued to break out in the face of Ball, anyway, there was no pressure, no fighting, no fighting, and his father also said before the game, my son is no worse than Li Ming, who has not had a highlight moment.
Well, the highlight moment, you're there!
A crotch dribble went straight past Ball, and Ingram made up for it.
"Wow!" This came down suddenly, and Li Ming's hand that was ready to shoot directly was immediately retracted, and he made a feint to hoist the ball to the inside, and Luo Bing got the ball.
But when he was not running, he got the ball, and his threat was instantly half less.
But if he doesn't play, this rare opportunity to attack will be gone.
Gritting his teeth, he turned around and tried to dunk directly, but unfortunately Bruce Lopez was waiting behind him! He was rewarded with a sturdy hat.
At the same time, he grabbed the ball in his hand.
"Brother will always be brother, don't forget this matter!" Bruce took this one, obviously his heart was also extremely happy, and he was ridiculed by Robin until now, and he really couldn't stand it, but now it's okay, and all the big hats are back.
Just one word!
The Bulls retreated, and on the way back, Robin whispered to Li Ming, "Seriously, don't you really plan to deduct Bruce?" Look at his arrogant look! ”
“。。。。。。” Li Ming looked at Robin speechlessly, seriously, don't you miss brotherhood at all?!
Ball continued to pass the ball, only this time to the Lakers' top Randle.
In the end, the latter is getting worse and harder, because the Lakers suddenly don't want to develop him again, and his playing time is also decreasing, and it is likely that he will fall out of the starting lineup soon.
And the reason for falling into the starting lineup is also very simple, because Ingram wants the ball, and Randle also needs the ball.
As soon as the two conflict, one will naturally have to be eliminated, and Magic can even do without Paul George for the sake of Ingram, so how can he care about a Randall!
So the latter will soon suffer the same cold treatment as Ruhr Deng.
That's why Randle is attacking when he gets the ball now, and he needs stats to back him up, even after leaving the Lakers, he needs stats to continue to support him in his new team.
In good conscience, Randle is a strong player with a strong sense of immediacy, and at the same time handles the ball well with both the basket and the frame, and even against a player as stocky as Mirotic, he can use his excellent ball control to squeeze space and make a layup.
"Tut-tut!" It's a pity that Randle scored a goal, but Li Ming shook his head again and again, and it could be seen that the latter was in good shape in this game, but it was already six minutes after the first quarter before he made his first shot, and it was obvious that his scoring opportunities were reduced.
Sometimes the NBA is like that, you are better than the player you are looking forward to, but the management of the team only sees that the player in the future surpasses you now.
If Randall could have been a little bit taller, or a little bit more physical, I'm afraid everything would have been different.
But now, it is estimated that Randle himself doesn't know the meaning of the goal, and what the highlight performance can get him in exchange.
After Li Ming played Ball a few times in a row, Ingram became active in his supplemental defense, and with a physical condition like the latter, he didn't need to learn to defend, he was born with it.
Li Ming faced his defense, and the shooting space was at least half an arm's distance before he dared to shoot, otherwise he would have no bottom in his heart, which shows how good Ingram's physical condition is.
