The Clippers have failed to beat the Lakers in such an advantageous situation, and it is no longer a question of whether they are strong enough or not. A group of pundits jumped out after the game, arguing that the Clippers players had developed a fear of the Lakers, and that the Lakers players had developed a psychological advantage over the Clippers players, which could help them beat their city rivals in any adverse situation.

Of course, the players of the two teams will not care about this kind of remarks, but it is indeed easy to leave a psychological shadow if they lose too much, and once the embarrassment of the Chinese men's football team is formed to fear South Korea, it will be really embarrassing.

The Lakers face the same crisis, as they have another back-to-back game after a two-day break after beating the Clippers, this time against the Seattle SuperSonics, the first Warriors to successfully slay a dragon.

It's impossible for the Lakers to say that they don't have to worry, don't look at how little they have lost this year, but if they lose to the SuperSonics again, wouldn't it be for nothing to give the SuperSonics the title of "Lakers Nemesis"?

But the embarrassment is that this kind of continuous back-to-back games is easy to lose!

However, many people will not mention the objective reason for the loss, let alone mention that the Lakers have won two games with the SuperSonics, and even if they lose again, it will only be a 2:2 thing.

The Lakers only need to lose to the SuperSonics one more time, and it is guaranteed that many fans will pop up in an instant, and they will seize on the words of the SuperSonics to beat the Lakers twice to satisfy their inexplicable sense of superiority.

It's like a celebrity they don't usually pay attention to suddenly becomes a street rat, they immediately rush over and pretend to be familiar with someone to talk to someone, and then stand on the moral high ground to fall into the ground.

The Lakers are like this now, their record this season is too demonic, so everyone just wants to get a topic that can blow 1 on them.

These people only need a topic of pretending to be forced, and it doesn't matter if they don't even understand basketball, as long as their hearts are satisfied, if they pretend to be 1 to break the law, then give Zhang Mao an indefinite sentence first.

That's why some outrageous rumors about Zhang Mao will gradually become no longer outrageous, such as he can bench press 250 kilograms, maintain a body fat rate of about % for a long time, run 9.9 seconds in 100 meters, run and bounce up to 1.2 meters, and have an IQ of more than 150......

These things that will be considered outrageous when carefully analyzed have slowly become common-sense data that everyone habitually uses when pretending to be coercive, and finally even some new sports reporters are not sure whether these data are true, because lies must come true after a thousand times from the mouths of more than a billion people.

The Lakers had to face the Grizzlies before playing the SuperSonics, and Harris decisively adopted a rotation strategy to maintain the player's physical strength tomorrow, and even Zhang Mao's playing time was limited to less than 0 minutes.

Battle finally got noticed today, the Grizzlies' Bryant Levi is less than 2.10 meters tall, but weighs nearly 00 pounds, which is a typical white large-tonnage interior line, but the interior technology is solid, the soft touch in the restricted area, can be called a low-post big killer, and the disadvantage is of course that it is slow to move, and the defensive end will drag the team back.

This kind of big-tonnage center who is good at low-post offense is perfect for Bartel to deal with, so today Mutombo and Mason simply took turns to rest, and Battle played 2 minutes, not only resisting Levi on the defensive end, but also using his tiptoe three-point shot on the offensive end to make Levi tired on the defensive end.

In this battle, the man of the horse set scored 17 points in the game, shooting 5 of 7 three-pointers, and the remaining two points were not scored on the inside, but through free throws.

This kind of anti-center style of play can make the Grizzlies head coach angry enough, he has never seen such a strange center, obviously strong enough to make Levi's back play five seconds violation, but on the offensive end it is like in the restricted area, he doesn't go into hand-to-hand combat, and always floats outside to shoot threes.

Battle has indeed changed a lot in his style of play, he was not so obscene half a year ago, but then he saw that his offensive talent on the interior was not as good as Mutombo, and finally realized that his interior offensive ability could not be shown in the NBA, so he simply focused all his skills on long-range projection.

In this way, he at least has characteristics that neither Big Ben nor Mutombo does, and Zhang Mao also needs an inside line that can clear the penalty area, so why not.

Battle has also become very targeted on the defensive end, he continues to increase the strength of the already few opponents, while insisting on training his pace, but he does not expect himself to have the flexible pace of Mutombo and Big Ben, he aims at the big-tonnage interior line like O'Neal, Levi's, and Langley, anyway, no matter how the league changes, there will be a lot of this kind of interior line, and he just needs to improve his pace enough to deal with these big-tonnage interior lines.

In this way, he can make up for the shortcomings of Big Ben and Mutombo on the defensive end, and once Mason's form is not good in the future, he can become an important rotation player for the Lakers, and at least twenty or thirty games a year will be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, and then he will naturally not worry about being laid off and unemployed.

To be honest, Da Bus is really pragmatic to position himself like this, and he has long since lost Wang Zhizhi's ambition to become a strong team and even want to become an All-Star player.

Battle knows very well that his talent is limited, he just wants to get a stable contract of two or three million dollars with the Lakers, and then play with Zhang Yu for a few more years, get three or five championship rings, and the whole career will be perfect.

Moreover, he just wants to stay with the Lakers, and even if other teams give him an extra million, he doesn't want to leave. Because playing with the Lakers has far more exposure than other teams, playing here will allow him to earn a lot of domestic endorsement contracts. That income adds up to a million dollars more than he gets. And playing here, he can not only follow Zhang Zhu to lie down and win the championship, but also Zhang Zhu, the boss, will not be bullied by the Yankees, how can there be such a good thing elsewhere!?

"Monte has improved."

Harris also found that Battle had improved at this time, although his feet were still very slow, and he could barely keep up with the equally slow Levi, and his palms were too small to make the rebounds not good, but his perverted strength and weird but efficient long-range shooting were even more brilliant, if he could improve his footwork, it would really be worth two or three million.

Battle's progress is inseparable from Zhang Qiu's encouragement, he is by no means a hard-working master, but Koala Baby has very high requirements for his teammates, and if he wants to stay with the Lakers, he must train as hard as other players, so it is difficult not to improve.

In this game, in addition to Battle's performance finally shining again, Ginobili finally won his first game with more than 10 minutes of playing time.

This is thanks to Wilkins, the veteran was the first to fall in the "Devil's March", although he only plays ten minutes per game, but after all, he is almost forty years old, and the Lakers always play hard battles during this time, and his fall is inevitable.

It was at this point in time that Ginobili got his chance, and in the second half of the schedule he was finally able to run up in garbage time, and although his body was still under 190 pounds, he still didn't have to fight, but the occasional sharp breakthrough still showed the potential.

What the Argentine most admired by the Lakers coaching staff was his bizarre ability to change direction, and it was with this hand that he was lucky to stay with the Lakers in the first place. Usually in training matches, Ginobili often catches his teammates on the inside by surprise, and Battle is the biggest victim, every time he is assigned to Ginobili opposite him, he has a headache, and he can really only defend with his eyes when he changes direction.

The Grizzlies became the first team to be successfully broken by Ginobili in a row, which is also related to Levi's clumsy movement, just imagine that this is on par with Battle's footsteps, and naturally can only defend Ginobili's breakthrough with his eyes.

With such a good opportunity, Ginobili did not disappoint the Lakers, he set a career playing time record in this game, actually played 24 minutes, and cut down a super efficient 15-point assist.

What surprised the Lakers coaching staff today was that this Argentine actually had a breakthrough skill, although he was a little blind and had a few passes, but he got an assist.

"John's successor seems to have been found."

Harris's satisfaction with Ginobili in this battle is actually above Battle, it doesn't matter if he is thin and weak, as long as he can shoot suddenly, and now he finds that Ginobili's talent in passing is not bad, no matter how you look at it, he is fully qualified for the role of the sixth man, and it is not natural to take over the position of Starks in the future?

The Lakers' coaching staff now has a relatively clear plan for the future roster structure - on the inside, O'Neal Jr. will replace Mason in the next two years to increase the offensive power of the interior, and Big Ben and Battle are responsible for making up for the lack of defensive ability after Mason's departure, and the two will be entrusted with important tasks at any time according to different opponents. On the outside, Ginobili will also take over as the team's sixth man in two or three years. The rest of the outside players were all in their playing years at that time, and they didn't need too many substitutes, as long as they found one or two veterans who hugged their thighs every year.

In this way, the Lakers will form a younger eight-man rotation lineup, even if one or two people have injuries in the schedule, as long as it is not a serious injury that is reimbursed for the season, it will not affect the overall strength of the team too much. Moreover, the Lakers' young players are not injury-prone types, and the Lakers will not be affected by the aging of the roster as Mason and Starks get older.

The Lakers still beat the Grizzlies after the rotation, which made the SuperSonics lose their back-to-back advantage.

Yesterday, only Zhang Zhu played the most minutes of the Lakers' five, but only played 28 minutes, Mutombo and Mason were directly rested, and the Lakers' main players came to Seattle with plenty of physical energy, and the result was that 7 players scored double-doubles in the game, which also means that the SuperSonics cannot beat the Lakers.

In fact, don't talk about the Lakers, any team has seven players scoring double-doubles in a game, and the odds of losing are not great, because it means that no one on the defensive side can defend it, and the offensive side is in full bloom, and the game must have collapsed early.

In this battle, the Lakers came to Seattle with a strong sense of revenge, and it can be said that they did not give the SuperSonics a chance from the beginning, and played 10:2 at the beginning. Throughout the game, the SuperSonics did not lead the Lakers, and they were pressed and beaten all the time. So there is no need to mention the specific process, you just need to know that even Kidd's three-point shot was 5 shots, Mutombo sent 6 big hats, Mason scored 20 points, and the SuperSonics played a fart!

Zhang Qi got the 9th triple-double of the season in this game, contributing 20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in the whole game, although the average score per game dropped back to 6.5 points because of these two games, but as long as you see the Lakers' record, everyone knows that Zhang Zhu's performance this season is far better than Jordan that year.

The SuperSonics lost on their home court, and four days later on the Lakers' home court, which was even more hopeless, and this time Zhang Fu scored 44 points to beat the Germans on the spot, and the SuperSonics' dream of becoming the "Lakers' nemesis" was completely shattered.

After the Lakers beat the SuperSonics twice in a short period of time, the next three opponents are all belly teams, and even with back-to-back bonuses, these teams are hardly a real threat to the Lakers.

It wasn't until the end of the month that the Lakers finally encountered their fifth Dragon Slayer Warriors, and the Utah Jazz at home finally beat the Lakers in a dignified manner and did not take advantage of back-to-backs.

The Jazz had only one hero in this game, Karl Malone played the best game of the season at home, and in overtime, Malone shot 18-of-27 from the field and 19-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring a season-high 56 points, which was also the second-highest single-game score of his career.

This time, the "postman" really raised his eyebrows in front of the koala baby, Mason on the Lakers side committed 6 fouls, Big Ben committed 6 fouls, and the two main No. 4 positions were all wiped out, and Zhang Zhu personally went up in overtime to prevent Malone from taking explosive seeds.

Although Zhang Zhu also had a performance of 44 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in this battle, his own interior line was blown up too badly, and McDyce also had a performance of 20 points and 18 rebounds, and the Jazz is a supergiant + an all-star interior combination, and the combat power is still above the Spurs.

Mutombo was tired and almost collapsed after playing this game, the Jazz's two interior lines are really no worse than the Spurs, as long as you think of facing O'Neal 4 times, 4 Spurs Twin Towers, 4 Utah Double Fronts every season in the West, plus a big dream, he is really hellish difficulty, and the best defensive player can't bear it!

Ma Long made Mutombo very weak in this game, this cargo has not missed a few times in the middle distance today, it can be described as a hundred shots, one person drove the rhythm of the whole team, and there is no lung problem at all.

This battle also made people know why Malone is called the number one forward in NBA history.

Although Barkley can compete with Malone in his prime, the latter's peak is too long, and at the age of 5 and with a blow in the lungs, he can still score 56 points against the Lakers, which is really no one at the power forward position.

Zhang Wei lost convincingly today, he doesn't remember the last time he was defeated by someone with pure personal ability, anyway, he has almost forgotten this taste, so when he saw Ma Long smug at him after the game, the koala baby could only shake his head and leave, the loser is not qualified to be ruthless.

"Failure is great when it is inevitable."

But the loser can say, but unfortunately in the case of losing, he can only comfort himself with other people's.

However, these reporters are not willing to miss the opportunity to fall into the ground, who has failed the Lakers and Zhang Fu too few times, and must be hyped up every time.

So throughout the post-game press conference, these reporters kept asking why the Lakers lost and why they lost? What causes you to lose? How can TM lose?

Zhang Qian was finally annoyed by the question, and went back directly: "There is no reason, if you don't do it, you don't do it, only the weak will find a reason for failure." I don't need people to understand how I failed, and I don't need people to forgive me and recognize my failures. Zhang Wei said this, and stood up directly: "I am a strong man, I don't have time to be sad about the failure last time, let alone explain the failure last time, what I should think about is to do something for the success of the next time." But I'm sorry, I'm not going to tell you what it's like to be in Los Angeles at 4 a.m., and you don't want to know. ”

This forced to make the reporter speechless, not because they couldn't go back, but because Zhang Mao ran away after pretending to be forced, that is called a thrill!

The next day, Zhang Fu vented his frustration at yesterday's loss on the Wizards, and in this game, he shot 16-of-28 and scored a big triple-double of 46 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists, helping the Lakers get through back-to-back games again.

"From the road to success, I only pass by failures occasionally."

Zhang Fu's first sentence after the game was a perfect score of 1, and it was another invisible sentence that was included in the "Dragonborn Quotations".

This also made many people understand why Zhang Zhu's influence is so great, these two games and these two riots, if they are put on anyone, I am afraid they can blow for a lifetime.

But in Zhang Mao's body, there are too many more topical events than this.

For him, the experience of these two days is basically a small scene that will happen every three or five days.

So how topical do you think he should be? How big should his fan base be?

So, if he doesn't become a legend, who can become a legend?

Zhang's legend continues, and the time rolls to the last day of the month, and our koala baby has drawn a relatively perfect sentence for the "Devil's March" with a statistic of 40 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, and this month the Lakers only lost 2 games and it was even more perfect than the best result they expected.

The Lakers' record came to 67-5 at the end of the month, and they only have 10 games left to play this season, with all teams heading into the final sprint in April.

The Lakers' goal in April was to limit their losses to just two games, so that the task of 75 wins in a single season would be accomplished, and they would never have to focus on team-level records again, because there really wasn't much left to break.
