Chapter 251: Brad Miller retires

This is the home court of the Lakers, so before the start of the game, there is a ring presentation ceremony. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Da Yao sat on the sidelines and watched the beginning of the ring awarding ceremony, he looked at Wu Di with envy, Wu Di already had two championship rings, and he had nothing.

Although he has come back to play, his form has not been good, and he has not adjusted in pre-season. He hasn't touched a ball for a year and will need some time to get used to. And he has a psychological burden, he is afraid that the injury he has just recovered not long ago will recur, and he will not be able to play well at all in such a mental state.

The Lakers' ring promulgation ceremony has already taken place, and as it was last year, even the order in which they receive their rings has not changed. The only difference was that after the ring was awarded, Brad Miller stepped up.

"I'm thankful to the Lakers, to my teammates, to the coaches, for getting me two championship rings. A lot of people don't have this ring, including a lot of superstars - I'm sorry, Yao, I didn't mean to say you! ”

Da Yao laughed helplessly when he heard Brad Miller's teasing, he was one of the superstars who didn't have a championship ring. Indeed, there are too many superstars who have not had a championship ring in their lifetime, not only Da Yao himself, but also Maddie, Iverson, Anthony, Howard, Nowitzki, Nash, etc.

"It's an honor for me to be able to get two championship rings in a row at the end of my career. The Lakers are a great team, and now the Lakers are building a new dynasty, and I would love to follow the Lakers and complete this dynasty. ”

"But my body doesn't allow it anymore, the last injury prevented me from returning to the court, and I decided to officially retire this year!"

The fans have obviously picked up the news, but they have no regrets. Brad Miller's position with the Lakers isn't very important, and any substitute at the No. 4 position can resist his position. However, they still gave Brad Miller a round of applause, because Brad Miller is still helpful to the Lakers, at least he used his experience to help the Lakers win a lot of games.

Brad Miller retired and a good player left. The NBA is always like this, there are new people coming in, there are old people leaving, who is leaving next? Think about the stars who have been in decline, O'Neal, Maddy or Iverson, who has no longer adapted to the NBA?

Brad Miller's retirement ceremony only took up a little time, and the race officially began.

The two sides sent their own lineups, and the Lakers' starting five remained unchanged, still Bynum, Gasol, Wu Di, Kobe Bryant and Fisher. The Rockets' starters were Big Yao, Odom, Artest, Shaun Battier and Kyle Lowry.

A few days ago, Artest changed his name to Kind World Peace, and he was called Ci Shiping in China.

Bynum's jump ball was a success, and Da Yao didn't even jump.

Fisher dribbled against Kyle Lowry, who was fast and powerful, and he was also a good point guard, exactly the point guard that Fisher feared.

However, after Fisher passed the half, he passed the ball to Wu Di. In the new season, Wu Di's ball possession has once again been increased, which is what Jenny Bass and Zen Master meant.

Jeanie Buss and Zen Master both want to build a dynasty for the Lakers, and Kobe Bryant is too old, and if he spends too much time in the regular season, he will definitely not have much physical strength in the playoffs. The Lakers' easy win last season had a lot to do with the late regular season rotation break, which ensured that the Lakers didn't suffer from injuries in the playoffs.

Wu Di faced Artest, who has now had some dips in form, and he is not young. Wu Di singled Artest, and directly squeezed him away, since he upgraded the legendary Zhou Cang, few people have been able to stop Wu Di's breakthrough.

After squeezing Artest, Odom came over to make up for the defense, and Wu Di passed the ball to Gasol, who scored with a jumper.

The Rockets served, Kyle Lowry broke through Fisher directly, and Wu Di rushed directly to make up for the defense and let go of Artest. Artest's three-point shooting percentage is no longer enough to threaten the Lakers, and the characteristic of his shooting is that some people are not basically the same, when they feel good, some people also score, and those who feel bad can't shoot even if they don't.

It's useless to defend against a player like Nerveknife, unless you can block him all at once, otherwise it won't be of much use to defend.

The reason why Wu Di didn't let the inside line make up for the defense was because Kyle Lowry was very lethal, but judging from his speed, his speed was not much slower than Wade and Rose and others, plus his strength was strong, and his lethality might be stronger than that of Rose and Wade.

It's just that after Kyle Lowry entered the NBA, he was not reused, so his reputation was not obvious.

Wu Di stopped in front of Kyle Lowry, and Kyle Lowry immediately passed the ball to Artest, who immediately shot outside the three-point line, and the basketball popped out of the frame. Artest shot around 35 percent from three-point range last season, and even if he was allowed to shoot the whole game, it wouldn't help the Rockets win the game.

Bynum and Gasol immediately jammed their opponents, and finally it was Bynum who grabbed the rebound and handed it directly to Wu Di. Wu Di took the ball and went straight to the fast attack, and Kobe and Fisher also ran.

The Lakers' counterattack was very strong, and after Wu Di ran, few players could stop it. If two people block Wu Di, they will be beaten more and less in the frontcourt, which greatly increases the success rate of the Lakers' fast attack.

Da Yao didn't show much in the whole game, he tried to play Bynum alone, and the success rate was too low.

In fact, the current Rocket-like Odom leads the team, and he and Kyle Lowry play blocking and pick-and-roll, and the scoring pattern is too one-dimensional. In the second quarter, Wu Di made a cameo appearance directly to the No. 1 position, blocking Odom on the outside, while Sun Yue was used in the No. 4 position, and Kyle Lowry's layup became more difficult.

The Rockets also have a new signing this year, that is, Kevin Martin from the Kings, if it weren't for the need for Sean Battier to defend Kobe Bryant in this game, Kevin Martin would have entered the starting lineup. The Rockets traded Kevin Martin to replace Maddy, but his defense is really not very good, and his role is not as strong as Maddy.

And Kevin Martin is still a master of making fouls, but on the Lakers' home court, such a person is obviously not treated well by the referee.

Since the beginning of this season, David Stern has focused on promoting Wu Di and also focusing on promoting the Lakers to build a dynasty. The Lakers are strong and fully capable of building a new dynasty, which is also good for promoting the NBA. Especially this year, more strong teams have come out of the component, and the most concerned is that the Heat have James and Bosh, who have also formed the Big Three.
