Chapter 233: Don't Report?
Who is the winner? Lakers, of course!
No matter how well Zhang Yu plays, his results are part of the history of the Lakers, which is why he cares so much about his personal data, and only this thing can be regarded as his own. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Kidd will be here in two days, but he must be his little brother, otherwise he will have to get out of the house again, and I am afraid that his "cancer" hat will be difficult to take off at that time.
The Lakers are back at home against the Magic the day after the trade is completed, and Kidd will still be in Dallas, and the Lakers have given him three days to deal with moving and personal matters, and there is no rush to let him join the team right away.
This is Jerry West's attention, the Lakers are going to let him play for the Lakers when they are going to play for the Pacers on the 11th, and that game is a back-to-back, and the Lakers have a good chance of losing the game, so it goes without saying.
So, why is West the ace manager, he wants Kidd to watch three games on the sidelines, and the Lakers have a good chance of winning these three games, and a wave of three consecutive wins will undoubtedly make Kidd's importance a lot less, and some people will definitely feel - "Look, whether to trade or not, who to trade, these will not affect the Lakers' record." Then, as soon as Kidd came on the court, the Lakers immediately lost, and you can imagine what the media and fans would say about Kidd at that time.
Zhang Qi is definitely the biggest winner, he, the boss, doesn't have to use his own power at all, Kidd will become more honest, and then he won't even have any ideas, and he won't dare to have them.
A certain handsome man who has no quality immediately understands his manager's thoughts. He has to win all three of his next three games. Not only that, but also to win! Only in this way can this send a signal to everyone - the Lakers are now the first in the league, the team of the koala baby, you are here to hug the thighs, and remember that you are a Lese who has been swept away. Next, since you're already here, then be obedient and do your part. The most important thing is to recognize that your role is the "little brother", never and cannot be the "boss". That's right, this idea must not be had, otherwise it will not only be swept away again, but also the color of the head.
Major sports giants are also scrambling to report on the Lakers' trade with the Mavericks at this moment, but there are not many voices that think the Lakers are taking advantage, and more media feel that this is a win-win deal.
On the Mavericks' side, the problem of 3J infighting has reached the point of urgency, and now it is the best ending to be able to exchange Kidd for Van Exel, who averages 20+6 per game.
The Lakers didn't take advantage of it either, Kidd's performance this season has plummeted, and he has been exposed to character problems. In turn, the Lakers are already No. 1 in the league, and trading out the main point guard at this time is undoubtedly a major operation on the run-in lineup. If Kidd comes to the team, affects the atmosphere in the team's locker room, or is not compatible with the Lakers system, then the deal will not be worth the cost.
To put it simply, the Lakers are not worth the risk for Kidd, and even the Los Angeles Times has doubts about the deal, believing that what the Lakers need most now is stability, and there is no need to trade a point guard who is good at offense for a team that is good at defense. Although Kidd is good at organization, Zhang and Mason's organization is enough, and there are three main players in the starting team who are good at organization, which can make the distribution of the ball problematic and easily affect the chemistry.
ESPN has a similar view, they believe that for the Lakers, this is a non-essential trade, and the current Lakers are not suitable for big trades, unless they can take advantage of the trade, otherwise there is no need to take risks, and it is easy to lose more than you lose.
The Lakers can't take care of so much for the time being, the trade has been completed, and tomorrow is the game against the Magic, and everyone can only temporarily see off Van Exel the night before the game.
Since Fan Maniac heard that he was being traded, he instantly returned to the state when Zhang Qian first saw him, that is, the attitude of being beaten as if everyone owed him money, and this time it appeared on his face again.
Obviously, he has been enduring Zhang Zhu this year, and now that he has been traded, there is no need for him to hide his emotions anymore, looking at Zhang Zhu's expression is full of the word "hate", and there is no need to disguise it anymore.
"Awesome, he will hide his emotions, which shows that he has really grown, maybe the Lakers really shouldn't trade him at this time."
Zhang Yu didn't care about Van Exel's eyes, people were about to get out, just give him a little face, and Van Exel had endured himself for a year, so it was really no big deal to endure it for one night.
Van Exel drank too much that night, and said something that made the Lakers players afraid to interject, so he almost pointed at Zhang Mao's nose and complained about him.
Zhang Yu poured him wine calmly, and smiled when he was complained, signaling "What you said is right".
He can see that although Van Exel hates him in his heart, he really wants to stay with the Lakers to play, after all, this is the team that selected him, it is impossible to say that he has no feelings, and before Zhang Yu came, the Lakers were also very good to him.
Therefore, Van Exel hates Zhang Qi in his heart, but he doesn't want to leave the Lakers, nor does he want to leave his favorite cities and fans, but he really can't imagine that the Lakers will reward him for trading him when he performs at his best.
If the Lakers traded him away last season, he might not be as depressed as he is now, because he was ready to be traded at that time, but now he thinks that he will follow the Lakers to beat the Bulls to win the championship, and he has been working hard for this goal, and even did not hesitate to please Zhang Mao, whom he hated in his heart, just to be more stable in the Lakers.
He really didn't find out that Zhang Qian was deliberately feeding him the ball during this time, and he thought that his efforts were recognized by the team and Zhang Zhu, so he would have more of these shots. Besides, his performance did not live up to the team's expectations, and as of the last game against the Jazz, he played a career-high 20.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game, and even had a good chance of entering this year's All-Star. But he never imagined that the Lakers would send him to the Mavericks' big bad team in a blink of an eye.
Soon, the Mavericks were worried, Van Exel was still in Los Angeles on the day of the Lakers' game against the Magic, and Kidd couldn't wait to go to Los Angeles last night.
This has to beg to wonder if Fan Maniac will also learn from many of the players this season and refuse to report to a new team after being traded?
The Los Angeles media is still adding fuel to the story: on the day of the deal, Van Exel yelled at home: "What the hell is Dallas? I'm not going! It is said that this roar can even be heard by the next-door neighbor.
The Lakers are not worried about Van Exel's doing things over there, anyway, the deal has been approved by the league, whether Van Exel goes to Dallas to report or not, it's all the Mavericks' problem, they can't control it, and they don't want to care.
Zhang Zhu is not worried about this kind of problem, tonight's opponent Magic team is no longer the league powerhouse that has the strength to compete with the Bulls in the previous two years, they will win this opponent first.
Orlando fans have pinned all their hopes on Hardaway since O'Neal's departure in the summer, but the single-core team has struggled to perform in any era. Hardaway, a talented defender full of spirituality, has lost a lot of spirituality at any time this season after losing O'Neal's broad shoulders, offensive efficiency has plummeted, various statistics have declined, and he has recently fallen into injury troubles, and he will not be able to return until the end of January, and he will not be able to play in today's game.
Looking at it this way, O'Neal's situation is much better, although he is constrained by the team's poor outside passing, and he always struggles in the face of strong opponents, but he relies on his strong body, his personal data has not declined, and the average of 25+12 per game this year is about the same as last season, and the top four rankings of the Clippers in the West are also much better than the Magic, which makes O'Neal feel refreshed.
The Magic faced the mighty Lakers today, and unsurprisingly, they were at the bottom of the game throughout the game.
Starks is the starting point guard of the Lakers today, this guy has always been a two-way guard, and his ball control skills are also good, and recently with the deepening of the run-in with the team, his regular ability value has risen back to 83, and he can even explode to 88 when he is convulsed, which is close to a real All-Star.
Although, when this product is not in good shape, his ability value can plummet to 78, but today he is in good shape, which makes the Lakers not have trouble after losing their main point guard, but plays more brilliantly on the offensive end.
Zhang Zhu, how cunning this bastard is, he is feeding the ball to Starks again, and finally helped Starks brush up a dazzling statistic of 31 points + 5 assists, plus he showed better defensive ability than Van Exel's in the game, which made many fans start to feel that this Starks seems to be stronger than Van Exel.
That's right, these two are at the level of half a pound and eight taels, and Van Exel, whose regular strength is at its peak, may be higher, but the two are at a similar level after the outburst, but there is a difference in functionality, one is a pure offensive point guard, and the other is a two-way guard who is good at stealing points and defending.
The Lakers finally defeated the Magic with a score of 119-96, which was the first game that the Lakers won easily without a main point guard.
Zhang also scored 24 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists today, recording her fifth triple-double of the season.
On December 7, the 1997 All-Star first phase vote was released today, and this time Zhang didn't care so much about his votes, because he knew that it would definitely not be low.
The Lakers have played 21 games in the new season, with a record of 18 wins and 3 losses, ranking first in the league.
The same is true for Zhang's stats, the 21st game is not counted first, he averaged 32.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 3.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in the first 20 games. He shot 53.8 percent from the field, 43.6 percent from three-point range and 86.4 percent from the free throw line.
This data makes Zhang Zhu the first place in the "scoring list", and Jordan, who ranks second, averages 30.4 points per game, and the difference between the two is almost two points, which is already a big gap when the season has played 20 games.
In addition to the "scoring list", Zhang Qi also held the first place on the "steal list", and Muqi Blaylock, who ranked second, averaged 3 steals per game, and the data of the two were about the same, but Zhang Zhu was still ranked first.
The remaining three lists, "rebounding list", "assist list", and "block list", have nothing to do with him, but a forward player can get two data kings, including one of the highest scoring titles, which is enough to make Zhang Qi top the All-Star vote. Even if he looks like Kassel, the result will be the same. What's more, his and Kassel's appearances are diametrically opposed to the two extremes, and it is really much easier to vote than last season, just the votes of those female fans are enough to put him far ahead on the leaderboard.
The result is indeed the case, last season, Zhang Zhu won the All-Star ticket king or relied on card cheating to barely succeed.
But this year is different, the system doesn't even bother to give him the task of getting the All-Star vote king, obviously because he feels that the difficulty of this task is too low.
1996-1997, Cleveland All-Star first round voting results -
Eastern Striker first-round voting: Grant Hill 342348 votes; Scottie Pippen 338477 vote.

First round voting for Western center: Hakim Olajuwon 330011 votes; Shaquille O'Neal 324621 votes; DiCambe Mutombo 243279 vote.
Overall ranking: 1, Zhang Mao; 2, Michael Jordan; 3. Grant Hill; 4, Scottie Pippen; 5, Hakim Olajuwon; 6. Shaquille Oni.
This ranking has changed a lot from last season, the most obvious is that Zhang Zhu's lead is outrageous, even if Jordan surpassed Hill in popularity after winning the championship, but the gap with Zhang Zhu is even greater.
Some media outlets began to question the fairness and reasonableness of the vote.
But some people quipped, saying that it was because I don't know if black stars shared too many votes, and Asian fans and white fans didn't have so many choices, so Zhang Mao's votes were so outrageous.
Well, there's nothing wrong with this explanation, there are indeed too many black stars on the voting list, and there is only one pure white person, Stockton, so it seems reasonable for white fans to vote for the mongrel Zhang Mao.
In fact, the All-Star voting is still relatively fair and reasonable, one of the best examples is: when Jordan made his third comeback, the level of competition dropped sharply, so he couldn't get into the All-Star starter, and finally the young star had to take the initiative to give up the starting position to the basketball god to show respect, and Jordan could become the starter.
This is enough to prove that fans can distinguish between the player's former fame and the votes of today.
Therefore, even if Zhang Fu doesn't fight for face, his performance is properly the first in active duty, and it is normal to become the king of votes.
Of course, if he is not a mongrel, but a pure person, then the vote king will definitely not be him, no matter how handsome he is.
But now, Zhang Mao, who is destined to be the top voter and has just won the "Player of the Month" award in December, invited Kidd, who had just arrived in Los Angeles a day earlier, to his home in the evening.
The Lakers players were all on the court, and who knows if it was to welcome a new teammate, or to celebrate Zhang Zhu's first-stage vote, or to get the "Player of the Month", but it seems to be more like the latter.
This should be a disadvantage, but Zhang Zhu's attitude towards Kidd is very friendly, especially from his words and deeds, it is difficult for anyone to see that he is embarrassing Kidd, and the person concerned does not feel malicious at all, Zhang Zhu's attitude towards Kidd is much better than Van Exel.
Of course, Zhang Wei will not make things too obvious, he likes to use subtle ways to do everything now, and some things do not need him to do it himself, no matter how the people who resist Kidd in the Lakers team can't take his turn, Mason and Starks can do things for him, both of them look at Kidd very unpleasantly, and the fool takes his own shot.
So, in the Lakers' game against the Timberwolves on Sunday, Zhang Yu once again helped Stax brush up a star statistic of 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and he himself quietly brushed a triple-double of 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and scored a triple-double in two consecutive games for the fifth time in his career.
It's also quite interesting, Zhang Fu's 6 triple-doubles this year were all obtained in two consecutive games, and the spinach group even opened a handicap for Zhang Fu, betting on: Will Zhang Fu's 7th and 8th triple-doubles still be obtained consecutively?
Kidd couldn't feel Zhang Zhu's malice at all, and he couldn't imagine that Zhang Zhu would deliberately help Starx brush data to hit him, and by the way, provoke Starks to discord with him, and then be a good person in the middle, holding the two little brothers in the palm of his hand in one go.
This is Zhang Zhu's plan, Jerry West can see it, Harris can see it, even the eldest lady can see it, but Kidd and Starks won't see it because they are in the game.
And now, the plan is starting to work.
Starks has scored 30+ in two consecutive games, and to say that he has no ambition to take advantage of the situation in his heart is really self-deception, and the ghost doesn't believe it.
Kidd will definitely put his posture lower, and it is not so easy for him to get a 20+ at this stage. If he wants to get 30+, it really depends on the state and the opponent. As for getting 30+ in two games in a row, it's almost impossible for him. Now that Kidd sees that Starks is performing so well, and the Lakers' record is not at all affected by the trade, there will definitely be a lot of pressure on the little guy's heart.
After the Lakers' victory over the Timberwolves, Kidd finally participated in the team's first practice.
However, in this team training, Kidd was placed in the blue group, that is, in the substitute lineup.
Starks is still arranged in the red group representing the main lineup, it can be seen that Harris is also very cunning, the general manager and head coach of the Lakers have given Zhang Wei enough face, and the three of them have teamed up to engage in Kidd in secret, and it is really difficult for this little fan brother who still admires Zhang Yu very much, and the society is really sinister!
On December 10, the Lakers played the Kings on the road, and Kidd continued to sit on the sidelines, and there was nothing to do with him today.
Yesterday, Starks beat Kidd in the team's training, although he himself does not have this strength, but Starks is in the main lineup, Kidd is in the bench lineup, no matter how good his defense is, it is useless, because the assistance the two get from their teammates cannot be compared, so being beaten is certain.
Starks is really competitive, or he is ruthless when he plays a weak team, and today with the help of Zhang Mao and Mason, it is actually another 35-point data.
This time, even sports giants such as ESPN and Dragonborn Sports are starting to pay attention to the former New York main defender, who would have thought that after Van Exel's departure, this guy would play such an amazing performance?
At this time, many people ignored that Zhang Mao only scored 16 points today, but he had 12 rebounds and 13 assists.
In the next game, if Zhang Qi can't get a triple-double again, many gamblers will have to jump from here.
But for Zhang to get a triple-double in four consecutive games, this game is back-to-back, and the difficulty is so high that there are no friends, and some people are afraid that they can jump off the rooftop in advance.
Lakers fans are celebrating another three-game winning streak, and no one is even noticing that their former primary point guard, Van Exel, hasn't been to the Mavericks until Kidd is about to play for the Lakers?
You read that right, Van Exel, after the trade was completed, completely ignored the Mavericks' repeated urgings and resolutely did not go to Dallas for a medical examination, let alone report.
The Mavericks are getting a little impatient after all this time of trying, and they now want to ask the league to pull the deal back, because Van Exel doesn't report at all, and they can't go to Los Angeles and tie this guy up, right?
