Chapter 452: All-Star Lakers

The defeat to the Pistons brought the Lakers' winning streak to seven. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The success of the seven-game winning streak means that many people's hopes for the Pistons to beat the Lakers have failed, so from the perspective of the next schedule, there is no team that can pose a threat to the Lakers, and the possibility of the Lakers continuing to expand the winning streak is even greater.

Judging from the weight of the opponent, the next few games can not attract much attention from the outside world, so the focus that can be triggered by the next games is much weaker, and the attention and coverage of the media are much less than before.

Almost everyone feels that the Lakers won't lose again in January. However, surprisingly, after three wins, the Lakers' winning streak was terminated. And the team that gave the Lakers their second loss of the season was the Chicago Bulls, which many people didn't expect.

You know, from the perspective of overall strength, the gap between the Bulls and the Lakers is very large. The Bulls only have two young stars, Middleton and Butler, and Rose is still struggling with injuries, and his individual performance is still far from his performance in the MVP season. It can be said that what the Bulls can use is the offensive firepower brought by Middleton and Butler's two forward guns, and then the strong defense under Thibodeau's direction. However, if these two aspects are relied on alone, the possibility of the Bulls trying to beat the Lakers is almost zero.

What people didn't expect was that the Bulls, under the leadership of the two guns, relied on the overall play and the Lakers' downturn to really win the game. This is something that no one has thought of, but it has really appeared, and it can only be said that the bull has created a miracle.

In fact, after this game, the Bulls became the first team to really beat the Lakers this season, after all, the Rockets won because the Lakers' main team did not play. And the Bulls defeated the Lakers, but the target of the defeat was the main force of the Lakers. After the curtain came down, the Bulls became completely popular and became the focus of fans all over the world. And for the media, it is even more hyped about the Bulls, talking about Middleton with 26 points and Butler with 27 points......

"Chicago lost one genius, but now it has two geniuses. Jimmy Butler and Middleton are definitely the chances of the Bulls rising in the future, and as long as they are built around the two of them, I think it won't be long before Chicago can become one of the best teams in the league. There's nothing to question about that, and the loss that these two young guys gave to the Lakers today is enough to prove it. ”

It's hard to imagine that it was the Chicago Bulls who gave the Lakers a second defeat, and it was really an unexpected result. I think this win will be a great encouragement for them, and this game means a lot, and I believe that from today onwards, more people will think that as long as they work hard, the Lakers can be beaten......"

"Jimmy Butler and Middleton deserve to be All-Stars, they've been playing at a high level for a long time, especially Jimmy, who's totally one of the best small forwards in the league, and being an All-Star would give him an honor that matches his identity......"

The Bulls duo began to be hyped by the media, and the news hotspots for the next few days were all focused on the Bulls' victory over the Lakers.

In this way, the Lakers have less attention from the outside world, and their daily games and life have gradually become dull and comfortable.

After losing to the Bulls, the Lakers won all of the remaining games in January, and won every game, and then ended the January game with a 2-loss record.

Although they lost two away games, the Lakers' overall record is still the best record in the league in a single month. This month, Antetokounmpo and Zach LaVine were both nominated for Player of the Month, but in the end, no player for the Lakers managed to win the award, and Westbrook, who led the team with an explosive triple-double stats and a good record, managed to overtake everyone.

For the Lakers young people who are hoping to win some accolades, it is not a small disappointment to be voted Player of the Month. However, the next big news made up for it in their hearts, and the Lakers had three players selected to the All-Star bench this year, namely Antetokounmpo, LaVine and Whiteside. Coupled with Kobe Bryant and Noll, who are confirmed to start, it means that the Lakers have successfully been selected to the Western All-Star team with an all-starting lineup this year.

Such a situation has set off an unimaginable round of craze around the world, and the rest of the league has also heard various voices questioning the feasibility and fairness of a team of five All-Star candidates.

You know, there are only 12 spots for each All-Star team, and 15 teams for each division, which means that each team doesn't fit for one spot. However, it is hard to imagine that the Lakers have nearly half of the spots, while the remaining half is contested by 14 other teams.

Of course, after this roster was confirmed, the whole world was watching the reaction of the Lakers, after all, this is an all-starting All-Star, which has never happened in NBA history.

However, when the reporter interviewed Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan's reaction was quite calm.

"That's what I expected, and the All-Star honor is an affirmation of them. Hassan is a super center forward who can cut down 20+10, because of the sacrifice for the team has made him seriously underestimated by the outside world. And being able to be selected as an All-Star this time can be regarded as Hassan's heart, for which I am quite grateful. Secondly, Giannis, in my opinion, is the best and most well-rounded player in the league, and he has played more efficiently this season, and his selection is what he deserves. Finally, there is Zach, who is definitely a player with 20+ strength, and the All-Star experience will allow him to grow better. Chu Xuan said slowly.

"Chu, some people say that this year's Western Army can be called an All-Star Lakers. Does this mean that the Lakers are strong enough to compete with the entire league? The reporter asked. 、

Chu Xuan smiled: "There are too many outstanding players in this league, I think they all need to be respected. ”

"Okay, Chu, then what do you want to see the Lakers five Tigers play at the same time to play against the Eastern All-Stars?"

Chu Xuan smiled: "Of course, I believe this is what everyone is looking forward to." I think this gives us the opportunity to grow from stronger confrontations. (To be continued.) )
