Chapter 254: Many Disasters and Difficulties
On the 29th, the Lakers played the Pacers at home, and unfortunately, during the training before the game, Bynum was injured and will miss two months of games. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Without Bynum, the Lakers wasted a lot of effort against the Pacers. Danny Granger, the star of the Pacers, is a small forward. When he was in opposition to Wu Di, he was guarded by Wu Di. Wu Di only contributed his strength on the defensive end in this game, and his role in the offense was not very large.
After the bad feeling in the last game, Wu Di's hand did not recover much in this game, he tried to get as close to the basket as possible to dunk, and finally scored 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting. The shooting rate barely reached 50%, and only one shot was scored from outside the box, and the other six were all missed.
Danny Granger scored 13 points on 5-of-15 shooting, less than Wu Di. If he hadn't consciously reduced his shots, I don't know what he would be like to be guarded by Wu Di!
Limiting Danny Granger's play, the Pacers can only rely on Darren Collisson's sophomore and Roy Hibbert's three-year rookie. Both newcomers have good strength, especially Darren Collisson, a 183cm point guard with great speed and good offensive ability, but the playmaking ability needs to be improved.
However, Roy Hibbert faced Pekovic, who was tough on his tough style of play and was turned over and over on the inside.
On December 1, the league voted the best of the month, and Wu Di and Howard were the best of the month in the east and west. Howard averaged 21.8 points and 12.1 rebounds per game, while Wu Di had 29.7 points, 10.6 assists and 6.7 rebounds.
That night, the Lakers played away against the Grizzlies, and at the beginning of the game, Pekovic, who had just become a starter, accidentally stepped on Marc Gasol's foot while scrambling for a rebound, and his ankle was damaged, and it will take at least a month to recover.
After injuring two center forwards in a row, the Zen master had to let Gasol push to the center position, and then let Wu Di go to the No. 4 position, and let Sun Yue start the No. 3 position. However, in this way, the Lakers have a lot fewer players to use, and only Ariza, Vujasic, and Famar can be used on the bench, and the interior can only use substitutes like Bobby Jackson and Devin Ibanks.
Because of the lack of a strong bench on the bench, the Lakers lost to the Grizzlies.
On the 2nd, the Lakers played the Rockets back-to-back, because the physical strength of the Big Three was too much, and the Lakers couldn't face the impact of Kyle Lowry when facing the Rockets.
After losing two games in a row, the Zen master immediately asked Jeanie Bass to get a new inside line, and the inside line alone could not support Gasol and Wu Di for a month or two.
Jeanie Buss immediately activated the trade plan to see if any teams had any interior players to trade. Originally, Jeanie Buss didn't want to trade those people, but she had to do so for the sake of the dynasty.
There are a lot of players on the trade spot, Bobby Jackson, two rookies, Luke Wharton, Famar, Vujasic, Ariza can all be traded, these players have too many roles, and there is no problem without anyone.
However, it is obviously not so easy to find a suitable inside line, and it takes a certain amount of time to find a reliable inside line. Before completing the deal, the inside line still needs to rely on Gasol and Wu Di to support.
On the 4th, the Lakers played against the Kings at home, and although there was no important interior line, the Lakers still resisted the impact of the Kings' rookies. Cousins was taught to be a man by Wu Di, and he was squeezed out of the penalty area by Wu Di, and it was difficult to enter the penalty area.
If the inside line can't enter the penalty area, there is much less room to play, and it is difficult for Cousins and Wu Di to play against each other. It was also after this game that Cousins paid more attention to his strength training, and he didn't want to be squeezed outside the box anymore.
Evans was also targeted by Kobe, and the Kings suffered a crisis on the offensive end, scoring only 80 points in the game. The Lakers' Big Three went off the break in the third quarter and finally won by 35 points at 115-80.
After a few days of rest, the Lakers once again had a back-to-back game.
On the 8th, against the Wizards, Wu Di met the UAE again. The UAE has performed average in the Wizards this year, although the shooting percentage has hit a new high, but the 5.5 shots per game cannot make him perform well at all. In addition to a slight increase in his shooting percentage, his three-point shooting percentage and free throw percentage have decreased a lot.
The three-point shooting rate is only about 23%, and the outside threat is too small. He shot above 35 percent from three-point range last year, and a three-point shooting percentage of over 35 percent from the field is already very good. The free-throw shooting percentage has been reduced to less than 70 percent, a decrease of more than 10 percentage points.
This has something to do with the Wizards' use of his methods, the Wizards let him train his muscles wildly, although his strength has improved, but his shooting feel has decreased. Even if he practices the strength of the United Arab Emirates, it is difficult to fight with those muscle sticks, and no matter how low the feel is, the offensive means he is good at cannot be used, so he can only go to the basket to fight for muscles.
I can't fight for muscles, and if I can still have ghosts in the data of the United Arab Emirates.
Before the game, the UAE had dinner with Wu Di and Sun Yue, and he couldn't help but complain to Wu Di.
But Wu Di can't do anything, he can't control the Wizards' coaching staff.
Sun Yue, who was on the side, sighed with emotion: "It would be nice if you could come to the Lakers, so that we can train together, and you will be abolished for a few more years." ”
The speaker has no intention of listening, and Wu Di has a heart in his heart.
It was unfortunate for the UAE to be in the NBA for a few years, not being reused by the Bucks, playing only 25 minutes, and being traded to the Nets after one season. After arriving at the Nets, it was difficult to settle down, but it was just in time for the Nets to rebuild, and Jason Kidd and Carter left one after another. Before he could gain a foothold, the Nets took the star and traded him.
After arriving at the Wizards, the coaching staff trained him in the wrong way, preventing him from playing to his strengths.
And he has had to experience injuries every year in the past few years, playing only 66 games in the first season, 61 games in the second season and 52 games last season. Fortunately, he did not suffer any major injuries and did not affect his career, otherwise it is hard to imagine whether he would become another big Yao.
During the evening game, because the Chinese derby was promoted, the Wizards let the UAE start and played opposite Wu Di. After so many years of publicity, the derby finally has a veritable counterpoint.
However, this alignment disappointed many Chinese fans, although the height of the UAE is 10cm taller than Wu Di, but the shooting rate on the outside is extremely poor, and the strong inside line can not squeeze Wu Di away, and Wu Di is fully crushed.
At 115:108, the Lakers won the first game of this back-to-back. In addition, there is a very bad opinion, that is, the UAE has been hacked, and many people think that the UAE should not come to the NBA at all, and he has no strength to gain a foothold in the NBA at all.
