Chapter 316: Knorr's Wrath
(There will be an update in the evening!) )
The Lakers' lack of selection as an All-Star starter made Kupchak complain, and Chu Xuan unceremoniously expressed his question, why the players who maintain the top five rankings on the MVP list can't even enter the All-Star starters? He thinks it's disrespectful to the Lakers as a team. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In fact, not only Chu Xuan, but also a number of Lakers celebrities, including James Worthy, Magic Johnson, and Skyhook Abdul-Jabbar, have expressed their opinions, believing that Kobe and Noll should become All-Star starters this season. They support Chu Xuan's point of view, after all, in the MVP rankings, Noel and Kobe are ranked first and fourth respectively.
Obviously, it can't be justified that two players with such a good position could not be selected as an All-Star starter.
Knoll is also in a bit of a low mood, after all, he has really improved a lot this season, and he wants to win the highest honors.
"Maybe it's because of my lack of popularity, and in the coming days, I will try harder to prove myself."
Knoll issued a manifesto in which he expressed his displeasure at the defeat.
The Lakers are still unanimously supportive of Noll publicly confiding in him, and they all believe that Noll has the ability to do what he says.
On the other hand, Kobe Bryant, who has already won countless honors, doesn't care about this All-Star honor at all, and his reaction is very flat, but he still supports Knoll to maintain greater competitiveness.
"Norris shouldn't be underestimated, I feel like he's on his way to becoming the dominant man in this league, he needs some encouragement, and an All-Star is the best way to do it.
Although it didn't work out, I think a lot of people still see him as the best interior player in their hearts. @诺尔, All-Star is important, but a championship will be a better proof, so let's work together! ”
The Lakers share the same hatred, and Noll holds his breath to play a better performance to slap his face. Of course, he also understands the importance of increasing his popularity, and playing a good game is undoubtedly the best way to increase popularity.
When the Lakers were determined to fight back against injustice, the game crept in.
……
The last game of January took place on the 30th.
The Lakers sit in the Staples Center and welcome a very competitive opponent, the Golden State Warriors.
The Golden State Warriors have the most feared outside shooters, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes.
Among the three, Curry, who has a cute appearance, is undoubtedly the most popular player, and at the same time, as the leader of the Warriors, he is also the best player on the team.
Since entering the NBA, Curry has been criticized for his thin body. However, in his few seasons in the NBA, he has been surprising. Curry has worked hard to forge his own style of basketball, which is incisive scoring and skillful passing.
Some people say that Curry's biggest threat is his offense, but in Chu Xuan's opinion, Curry's biggest threat is his passing and ball-handling skills. This guy can do whatever he wants on the field, he can ignore the defense and score, but one person can't beat a team after all. Curry's outstanding passing can undoubtedly drive the Warriors' team-wide offense and make the Warriors more competitive, which is his biggest threat.
It can be said that from this season's point of view, in the absence of outstanding interior line, Curry has led the Warriors to a good record. And, it's worth mentioning that Curry's hard work is obvious to all, and he is the best player in the NBA today, which makes him even more threatening.
Curry's popularity is entirely due to his efficient scoring ability.
Moe God is a selfless player, and he is always able to maintain the right shots, which restricts him from scoring high scores. But that doesn't stop more and more fans from liking him.
And, if it's really going to be Curry's infinite fire, he's more than capable of aggravating 35 points per game or even higher.
"I think the first person in the NBA in the future will come from between Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook." When the game was played, Barkley and Miller talked about the topic of "first man", and Barkley's opinion was that he was more bullish on Curry.
Even, in order to highlight Curry, Barkley hacked Noll undisciplinedly, he believes that Noll can only be regarded as a star player, and the reason why he can become an MVP favorite is completely due to the Lakers' excellent overall ability. And, Barkley said, among the younger generation, Knoll doesn't even rank in the top five in the ranking of the best players.
This kind of black law is black enough to make people sympathize with Knoll.
Obviously, first losing the All-Star starter and then being belittled by Barkley, Knoll is undoubtedly in a situation of rebounding.
However, after the game, Barkley was slapped in the face.
The Lakers not only beat the Warriors, but also forced Curry to play his worst game of the season, 3-of-18, 0-of-5 three-pointers, 8 points, 9 assists and 5 turnovers, which is completely different from his excellent performance this season.
The game was exciting, and Kobe's defense against Curry was even more breathtaking.
You know, in today's league, the Lakers are really the best team that can lock Curry to attack.
"Charles is definitely eating, he should think about what he's talking about...... Oh, and yes, I'm still young, but I already have a championship ring. ”
After the game, Knoll ridiculed Barkley in front of the media, which can be said to be full of gunpowder.
Knoll's reaction is understandable, his unhappiness and grievance are absolute, and Barkley is undoubtedly hitting the muzzle of the gun by belittling Knoll at this juncture. As for Noll, he didn't seem to swallow his anger.
Of course, Noll dares to say this because he has this strength. In this game against the Warriors, Noll Hao scored 16 points, 13 rebounds, 3 steals and 4 blocks, showing his all-round dominance on the inside to the fullest. In the matchup, he completely blew up the inside line of David Lee, Bogut, rookie Willie Cauley Stein and other Warriors.
Knoll played quite well, but the biggest focus of today's game was Kobe Bryant, who intercepted Curry in the second quarter and grabbed his 2,000th career steal. This is a great milestone because throughout the history of the NBA, there were only 11 players before Kobe Bryant who had more than 2,000 steals. And Kobe Bryant still has a short career to go, and he will undoubtedly be able to continue to improve the ranking of this technical statistic.
In this game, Gasol returned from injury, and he came off the bench for 18 minutes, contributing 8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 assists.

When the reporter interviewed Chu Xuan about Barkley, Chu Xuan said: "I think in order to prove Charles wrong, I should give Norris more important roles and more playing time." (To be continued.) )
