"Jason, it's your welcome party today!"

Before the game against the Pacers, Zhang said to Kidd with a little seriousness. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thanks, I'm ready!"

Kidd didn't respond much because he wasn't ready.

The Lakers are different from the Mavericks, the Purple and Gold are already the top teams in the league, their offensive and defensive systems have been formed, and all systems basically operate around Zhang Zhu, it takes time for such a team to integrate in, but Kidd does not have such time, he is a player who joined halfway, and it is easy to be rejected by the original players.

Kidd himself knows this, and he knows that if the Lakers' record declines, then he will definitely have to take the blame, and the pressure on the little monster is not small.

'I think he's not ready yet, and I hope you don't waste Lyon's pass for a while.'

Starks is very unpleasant to look at Kidd now, and even hates this guy more than Mason.

This is the result that Zhang Qi wants to see, Starks feels that after Van Exel's departure, his opportunity came, and he also seized the opportunity, these three games cut 30+ per game, it stands to reason that he should become a starter, but Kidd replaced himself as a starter for no reason, how can he accept it? What does that guy have to do to grab his place?

"Don't worry, I'll help you fit into this team." After Zhang Qi saw Starks turn to leave, he lowered his head and quietly comforted Kidd, "Don't care about John's words, we know your ability, so we will trade with Nick and let you be the starter." And I know that your talent is not in scoring, just show everyone what you can do, and if you have any problems, leave it to me to solve, and we will definitely win this game. ”

Well, he was a good person.

But when Zhang Qi saw Kidd's eyes full of gratitude, he knew that his red face sang well, and besides, he really wanted Kidd to play at a high level, otherwise what was the use of trading him?

Actually, these two sentences are nothing, but there is an old saying: fighting rice to raise grace, and bearing rice to raise hatred.

The meaning of this phrase is that if you give someone a small help in times of crisis, people will appreciate you. But if you give too much help, the other party will take it for granted, and once you don't help in the future, or don't help enough, the other party will hate you and hold a grudge for a lifetime!

Zhang Qian would never make such mistakes, just like his children's charity fund, which would never help poor children who did not do well in school or sports, and had bad records. Even those poor students who are excellent in character and learning will only help them solve their basic living and learning needs, so that people can remember their kindness, and once they help too much, they will make people take this relief for granted.

The Lakers are back-to-back games at home today, and the good news is that the Lakers defeated the Kings in only three quarters yesterday, except for Zhang Mao and Starks, the rest of the main players rested after three quarters, which also made the Lakers have no physical problems in today's back-to-back games.

Finley, Mutombo, and Mason are all physical players, and there will be no problem playing three quarters of the game, not to mention Zhang Zhu, Kidd is also a physical young man now, and the Lakers have exploded in athleticism. However, the media and fans don't think the Lakers are much stronger after the trade. Who made Kidd's performance this season too bad, even Lakers fans felt that Van Exel was not inferior to him at all.

So, Kidd has to be seen what he's capable of, otherwise a couple of games in a row will be bad, and Harris will definitely use Starks again.

The NBA has always been a place that pays attention to strength, no matter how famous you are, it is useless if you don't have strength.

After the Lakers players played, there were some fans holding signs of welcome and encouragement to Kidd, as well as some humorous portraits, but most of them were Chinese faces.

This is another trick made by a guy who doesn't want to force his face, Zhang Zhu posted on the Lakers section of the Dragonborn Forum yesterday, calling on fans to welcome the new players in today's game, and naturally some fans acted according to the master's instructions.

Kidd was very touched by this small favor in his heart, and many Lakers players did not welcome him very much, so this warmth was rare and touched. Moreover, he will not find Zhang Fu's filthiness, because both the black face and the white face have made Starks and Mason dang, and Zhang Qi must be a good person who has not run away.

Lakers starters: Kidd, Finley, Zhang, Mason, Mutombo.

Pacers starters: Travis Best, Reggie Miller, Derrick McKay, Dale Davis, Eric Dampier.

This year's Pacers, after sending off Mark Jackson, can basically be described as a mess, especially on the offensive end, where no one could hold the team together. Reggie Miller can bring players together in the locker room, but he can't do the job of Mark Jackson when he's on the field.

Mark Jackson's big-ass character is not very good, but at this stage it is indeed second only to Stockton's team-type control, and his achievements in passing and organizing the team are better than the current Kidd, and the offensive end is almost one notch stronger, but his defensive ability is also at least two gears worse than Kidd.

Today, the Lakers played a scattered Pacers, and these guys all fell to 10th place in the relatively weak Eastern Conference, which shows how bad the form is this year.

The Pacers also know that the Lakers have no physical problems today, if it was a week ago, they would definitely be based on defense, because this year's offense is not to mention fighting with the Lakers, it will take a lot of effort to fight with the Mavericks, so this season's Pacers simply came up with an 8-point defensive and 2-point offensive style of play, trying to avoid their own disadvantages.

Of course, as you can see from their track record, there are some things that cannot be avoided at all. The Lakers are ready to fight the Pacers today, and if you have the ability, you can shrink back and let me play to see what you can do.

The Pacers said: They don't shrink today, Kidd's addition may cause some chaos on the offensive end of the Lakers, and at this time, if you fight for offense, maybe there will be a glimmer of life, and shrinking to play will definitely be a lifeless situation.

After the Lakers opened, it was true that the offensive end was not as fluid as before, and Zhang Mao's organizational style was diametrically opposed to Kidd's, or to put it bluntly, the difference between the two was "distributing the ball" and "dominating the ball". The result of this difference will be obvious, if Zhang is a point guard, he will definitely have a lot more assists than Kidd, but Kidd's team will be more fluid on offense and more well-rounded.

This difference doesn't affect the two of them much, but it does have a huge impact on the rest of the Lakers.

At 9:06 in the first quarter, Finley's weak-side cut showed the difference between Zhang and Kidd.

Finley rushed to the Pacers' restricted area as he did with the Lakers, but he wasn't prepared to catch the ball at all, because Zhang didn't pass the ball when he didn't have a direct scoring opportunity, let alone Van Exel, and his cut was just to disrupt the Pacers' defensive formation.

But Kidd is different, he even wittily passed an advance amount, so that when Finley receives the ball, he will directly threaten the entire Pacers defense, at this time he can attack, pass and make fouls, and scoring is secondary.

However, Finley's role with the Lakers is different, resulting in his growth trajectory is also different from another time and space, now he has no ability to break through the ball at all, and his task on the offensive end is to open up shots, disrupt the opponent's defense, and impact the basket to score directly or make fouls, so passing him too early instead of knowing what to do next, and also giving the Pacers time to react.

In the end, Finley's layup was unsuccessful, the foul was not made, the Pacers got the basketball was a counterattack, and the Lakers came and went without four points.

There are still a lot of such situations, Kidd's passing is undoubtedly more in place, but the Lakers players will not deal with this kind of more in place, even with a little advance passing, they have become accustomed to the way Zhang and Mason bring the ball to their mouths, and now let them do it themselves, there is more room to play, and the Lakers players don't know how to play.

Zhang said: "I can play, you might as well give me the ball and let me assist them to score." Well, no matter how shameless he is, he can't say it, but the koala baby does think so in his heart.

The Lakers' performance on the offensive end in the first quarter was a little wrong, scoring was basically a one-man game, Kidd didn't even have an assist when he came off the court, Zhang Zhu instead sent three assists, and the Lakers players also said that "it still tastes right."

The score was 19:18, and the Lakers only scored 19 points in the first quarter, which was obviously an abnormal play on the offensive end for the Lakers, who averaged 112 points per game.

Lakers fans don't like to watch this kind of game either, the Lakers' performance of high scoring + high win rate this season has nourished their appetite, and now games that don't score 100 points will make them have some small opinions, not to mention this kind of performance that doesn't score 20 points in a quarter, someone has to come out and take the blame.

So, Kidd, don't run away, obediently pick up the pot!

Kidd was also helpless, the Lakers replaced him in the last four minutes of the first quarter, and half of those 19 points were scored in the period after he went off the court, and it was during this time that the Lakers players found some familiar flavor.

Fans certainly don't think about it, and it's normal for a team to change its main point guard. Zhang Yu did not deliberately embarrass Kidd in the game, routines are routines, calculations are calculations, but he will not let the team lose in order to bully his younger brother, which deviates from the essence of routines and calculations.

In the first quarter, Kidd got 2 points and 2 rebounds, and Zhang Yu passed him at least three open balls, which was already very good, but this thing was really not good at offense, and he lost two of the three empty shots.

After Starks came on as a substitute for Kidd, he played the offensive No. 1 position, a role that is more suitable for partnering Zhang Zhu, and the Lakers began to return to their original rhythm, playing a wave of 10:2 attacks in the early part of the second quarter, successfully taking a double-digit lead.

At 7 minutes and 44 seconds in the second quarter, Harris said: I'm really not embarrassing you, this is a normal rotation, and the Lakers' on-court lineup became: Kidd, Starks, Finley, Ervin Johnson, Mutombo.

However, this lineup is definitely a disaster, Kidd and Starks may not be incompatible in style, but the latter has resistance in his heart, and there is deep hostility, even if Kidd has taken the overall situation into account, but Starks wants to score too much, too much to perform, but you have to know that although the offensive end of the Pacers is sparse this year, the defense is not bad, and Starks does not have the ability to ignore the defense as much as Zhang Zhu, of course, it can't be played like this.

Three minutes later, when Zhang returned to the court, the Lakers had already been countered by the Pacers with a wave of 10-0 counterattacks. Now the score is 29:30, the Lakers are behind by 1 point, and this score makes Lakers fans very unhappy, some fans who have just turned on the TV still think that the Lakers are playing the first quarter.

Whoever is that, take the pot well.

It doesn't matter if it's your fault or not, but you're new here, and even if it's not your problem, you'll have to take the pot, and you won't accept protests!

Kidd is back to the pot again, and he also has a lot of pain, he didn't expect to fight worse today than in the Mavericks.

Of course, he knew that if the Lakers didn't play well, he would definitely carry the pot, but he never thought that the Lakers would play so badly today.

"Am I really a cancer?"

Kidd's mentality was originally good, but he couldn't help but have this idea at the moment.

Dallas fans have been talking about him since the beginning of the season, and someone defended him before the trade, but during this time, the Dallas media and fans directly threw all the responsibility for the 3J infighting on him, who told him to be the first to leave, then the pot must be borne by him!

What is a "backstabber"?

Kidd perfectly interprets these three words, prejudice is so hurtful.

After Zhang came on the court, he naturally took over the ball, and Kidd became a pitcher.

Some fans have found that Kidd has become the same character as Van Exel and Starks.

Obviously, this is the problem with the Lakers, the old players did not accept Kidd's style of play, and as a result, Kidd had to actively adapt to the original system of the Lakers, but the position in this system did not suit him.

But this is also a helpless thing, joining halfway is such a situation, the Lakers players have just run in, they are certainly not willing to make changes for a new Kidd, if Kidd joins in the preseason, there will be no such troubles.

Kidd was very uncomfortable with his role, Zhang Qi passed him two balls and failed to throw, seeing that the Lakers changed from leading to lagging behind, Zhang Qi naturally would not continue to feed Kidd, and he began to attack on his own.

Mutombo and Mason began to take turns playing with Zhang, a simple but powerful tactic that suits the Lakers right now, and Kidd just needs to honestly attract a defender on the outside when Zhangzhu is playing alone.

Zhang knew he should help Kidd fit in as soon as possible, but that had to happen when the team was leading or against a weak team, and he wasn't going to pay the price of losing to help Kidd.

The Pacers quickly couldn't withstand Zhang Mao's offense, and their interior defense was very poor, especially after the injury of Rick Schmitz, the Pacers' interior strength dropped a lot.

Although Dampier has great potential, he has not yet adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, and it is much more difficult for rookies on the inside to adapt to the NBA than on the outside.

This year's Pacers are not only chaotic on the offensive end, but also lack major generals in personnel, and it is normal for them to not be able to play. Zhang and the interior pick-and-roll offense left the Pacers at a loss, and even Kidd hit a three-pointer with a pass before halftime, which made his stats look less ugly.

Zhang Zhu already took good care of him, and fed Kidd at least four or five good shots in the first half, but the little fan brother didn't feel good and couldn't shoot a few, but he also got 5 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in the half, and his performance was not particularly bad.

Zhang Wei saw Kidd's rebound here, and he was still a little emotional in his heart, not very happy.

Today he scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the first half, and the scoring and assist statistics have not changed much compared to usual, but there are a lot fewer rebounds, especially in today's low-score competition, he actually failed to get more than 5 rebounds in the half, and the reason is obviously that Kidd stole a lot, which is actually more than his rebounds.

"That's not going to work, we have to find a way to let him know the rules here."

Zhang Yu can't accept this situation, "rebounding" has to be left for him to pick up, Kidd, you're too much!

Harris didn't need to ask to know what Zhang Qi was thinking, he looked at the player data at halftime, and then secretly said: This thing is too easy to do, Your Majesty, you just look at me!

Zhang Qian quickly showed a satisfied smile, and Harris first criticized Kidd's performance after the Pacers shot after the Pacers didn't return to the defense at the first time! He asked Kidd to return to the defense as soon as the opponent completes the offense to prevent the Pacers from playing a fast break. As for the task of grabbing rebounds in the front court, this is left to the inside, and the two guards must retreat as soon as possible. Also, on the defensive end, the two guards do not need to participate in the protection of the rebound, which is enough to have two inside lines + Zhang Mao, the guards must be the first time to break fast, not all five people squeezed into the basket to protect the rebound, more people are not necessarily a good thing.

Harris's demands are reasonable, and this is a normal instruction, and it is not normal for a point guard to get old and grab rebounds under the basket.

Kidd was used to this abnormality in the calf, so he inertly squeezed together with Zhang Fu.

But the most angry thing is that the koala baby hasn't robbed Kidd several times, which is the most unpleasant thing about Zhang Mao!

The score was 44:36 in the first half, and the Lakers pulled the score away a little through Zhang Mao's strong attack.

In the second half, the Lakers also chose to base themselves on defense first.

If Kidd still needs some time to integrate into the team on the offensive end, then on the defensive end, he shouldn't need that long to adapt, after all, this is the 90s when there was only a single defense and a pack, and there is no need to test the team's tacit defensive system later, and now it is more of a test of the player's individual defensive ability.

The Pacers soon discovered that they lost the first half than the offense and the second half was even worse than the defense.

Kidd knew it would take time for him to integrate into the Lakers, so he had to play more on the defensive end to make Lakers fans feel good about him.

In the first half, he was very the defensive end, and in the second half, he was even more active, and the Lakers' three outside players showed the ability to suffocate the Pacers, and this set of defense composed of Kidd, Finley, and Zhang Qi was indeed enough to suffocate most teams in the league.

The Pacers players feel powerless, even if the Lakers are a little out of order on the offensive end, but they can't penetrate the Lakers' defense.

Reggie Miller has been in a difficult situation to connect the ball under Finley's defense, Travis's passing ability is not on the same level as Mark Jackson, and Miller should now be the person on the Pacers lineup who misses Mark Jackson the most.

In the third quarter, the Lakers' defense froze the Pacers' offense, and they only scored a pitiful 12 points in the quarter, almost allowing the Lakers to defend by single digits once.

The Lakers' offense is still not good, and it was only by relying on Zhang Mao's personal ability that they barely scored 21 points in this quarter.

But this was enough to make the Pacers feel desperate, and after three quarters, the Lakers led by 17 points at 65:48, and with the Pacers' offensive ability and the Lakers' defensive ability, you can imagine how low the odds of a comeback are.

When the Lakers stretched the margin to 20 points in the first minute, the Pacers players didn't have much resistance.

The Pacers' defense is still good, and now that they have lost their fighting spirit, they don't even have the only thing that can cause problems for the Lakers.

The Lakers finally started to explode on the offensive end, and even Kidd hit two three-pointers in this quarter, and there was no suspense in this game.

In the end, the Lakers played a single quarter with a score of 34:25 in the final quarter, and the score at the end of the game was 99:73, and the Purple and Gold had a thrilling back-to-back at home.

Zhang Wei scored 35 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and he grabbed a lot of rebounds in the second half.

Kidd contributed 16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, and interestingly, the little monster only grabbed one rebound in the second half, but got 8 three-point attempts in the game......
