Chapter 171: Encounter with the flu

On February 28, the Lakers played the Nuggets back-to-back on the road. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Nuggets' current record is closely behind the Lakers, although it is not as perverted as the Lakers, but it is also ranked second in the West.

It can be said that the Nuggets are now the most powerful team in the West except for the Lakers. Today, the Lakers played the Nuggets back-to-back, and it is difficult to guess the outcome or defeat, and it can only be a conservative five-five.

And the Lakers' starting center Bynum was also injured, which directly reduced the level of the lineup to the point where the Nuggets were similar. But the Lakers still played back-to-back games, and except for Wu Di and Kobe, two physical maniacs, who were not affected, everyone else was seriously affected.

For example, Ariza, who just got off the plane today when he contracted the flu and was taken to the hospital. In the United States, the flu is a serious illness that can kill people if left untreated.

But for Wu Di and Sun Yue, the cold is completely minor. Unless it's bird flu, the two can be more vigilant. I don't know what's going on, maybe there are more cold viruses in China, and Wu Di and Sun Yue felt that they didn't have a fluke after they arrived in the United States.

Although there is one less Ariza, Ariza is not a key figure, and he is averaging less than ten minutes per game. Ariza was a good defensive player, but his offensive ability cost him playing time, and if he can't improve his shooting next season, Ariza may have less playing time. Because the second and third positions are basically full, and those who can both attack and defend already have four players.

As soon as the game began, the Lakers' back-to-back disadvantages were highlighted. Fisher was seriously out of form and was constantly broken by Billups.

You have to know that Billups's breakthrough ability is not very strong, and his three-point shooting is good. In previous seasons, Billups' outside shooting was not very high, after all, he was not an offensive point guard, but a defensive point guard like Jason Kidd. So it's hard to count on Billups offensively, with just over 30 percent of his three-pointers and only around 65 percent of his free throws.

But after arriving at the Nuggets this season, Billups seems to have suddenly opened up, and his scoring ability has greatly increased, with a three-point shooting rate of more than 40% and a free throw shooting rate of more than 90%.

It's nothing short of a miracle, and now Billups is averaging nearly 20 points per game and is on the verge of reaching the top of his career.

All right! This is all wishful thinking on the part of Wu Di, in fact, when Billups was with the Pistons, he averaged 17 or 18 points per game for several seasons, just a little less than Hamilton.

However, the most famous of the Pistons Five Tigers is Big Ben, when people look at stars, those who average less than 20 points per game are often ignored, and compared with Kobe and James, Billups scores too little.

But in fact, you can't look at it that way, Billups is a defensive point guard, just like Wu Di, he is a defensive small forward, although he doesn't admit it, but that's the truth.

In this game, he defended Anthony all the time, and today he didn't feel very good. No, it should be that the whole Lakers team is not very good, Ariza got the flu, it was caused by the hot and cold weather, and the rest of the Lakers was more or less affected, and everyone was a little sluggish.

Wu Di and Kobe Bryant can't keep their hands, so they can only try to rush inward. Fortunately, Camby was traded away, otherwise the Lakers don't know how many blocks to send today.

Anthony and Billups have a good hand, although when facing Wu Di, Anthony did not have enough space to get shots, but he was able to shake off Wu Di many times today, and then catch the ball and shoot.

Wu Di was also very helpless, he was a little in a trance, and he may have also been affected by the flu.

The Lakers lost the game and scored only 79 points, which is already below the bottom line for a scoring team like the Lakers, which shows how poor the Lakers are in the whole team.

After the game, the Lakers only left the assistant coach to hold a press conference, and the Zen master and the players all went to the hospital for a check-up. Then, under the arrangement of the doctor, all the patients were hospitalized, although it was a slight interference, but it also required water slinging treatment.

The Lakers saw the NBA's Player of the Month poll for February in the hospital. The best player in the East is Wade, who averages 30.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game. The best player in the West is Gasol, who averages 20.9 points, 10.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game.

Gasol has been able to become the most recent in the West because of the relationship between averaging two doubles per game. The NBA attaches great importance to the data of the upper double, otherwise there will be no double-double, triple-double, quadruple-double or even five-double honor.

The Lakers' first game of March was on the 2nd, so they could still have a day off and be able to recover a lot of energy.

On the 2nd, the Lakers flew to Phoenix, and they had to play when they first recovered from a serious illness. As a result, the inner line became a soft-footed shrimp, and it was turned upside down by O'Neill alone.

Originally, if there were enough manpower, the Zen master was going to use the shark slashing tactic, but Bynum was injured, and the management did not find a new inside line before the trade deadline, which made the Zen master unable to use the shark slashing tactic, so he used Bobby Jackson to cut for a while, and the remaining three people on the inside line were rotated, and Wu Di and Sun Yue had to make a temporary cameo as a big forward before finishing the game.

The Suns have found a way to use O'Neal, and they've stripped O'Neal out of the Suns' playbook. When playing the fast attack, it is still played as before, and when the fast attack encounters a setback, immediately let O'Neal go in to attack.

Today's O'Neal broke out, the Lakers were recovering from a serious illness, most of the physical strength on the outside line recovered, and the Suns' running and bombing did not fight, but the inside line did not recover well, and O'Neal picked up a bargain.

Losing the game again, the Lakers' original limit of five losses was reduced to only three games. It's nearly impossible to lose just three games in just over a month, unless the Lakers can make a multi-game winning streak.

That night, the Lakers flew back to Los Angeles and had a good rest for two days before they fully recovered.

Meghan returned to Los Angeles, and she came back to promote "Transformers 2", because "Transformers 2" had just finished filming and was in the post-production special effects period. Because of "Transformers 1" as a foreshadowing, the special effects of "Transformers 2" can be shortened a lot, and it will probably be released this summer.

Megan took the time to find Wu Di, and she also saw the news that Wu Di had the flu from the news. But when Meghan came, Nikki Hilton was there.

Megan and Nikki know each other, and the entertainment industry is still a circle in the final analysis, and no matter how many people there are, they may often meet them. The relationship between the two was not bad before, but now there is a sense of tension.

Fortunately, the two of them were more restrained and did not fight directly. But when Megan left, the two girls looked at each other deeply, and Wu Di was shocked when she saw it.
