Chapter 310: Heavenly Hook Reappears
Kobe Bryant was injured, and Lakers fans were wailing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Injured a big man in the first game of the season, which is an ominous sign for the Lakers.
But among the players, there was no bad mood. In the past two years, the Lakers and the core have been officially transferred from Kobe Bryant to Wu Di, and Kobe is basically in a semi-pension state now, which is equivalent to the Lakers' elder Taishang.
Therefore, Kobe's injury does not affect too many players, but Klay Thompson is full of energy. As soon as Kobe Bryant was injured, he became a starter, and of course he was full of strength.
Napoleon said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Klay Thompson also wants to be a starter, even a cornerstone of a team. As for the core, he doesn't have much of an idea, at least not with the Lakers. The core of the Lakers will not change for more than ten years, unless Wu Di suddenly suffers a serious illness and retires.
However, Wu Di's physical fitness is obviously unlikely, let's just say that in the 12 playoffs, Wu Di was injured. If the Lakers hadn't been eliminated by the Clippers, Wu Di would have been able to make a comeback before the Finals.
Many teams have a fluke mentality, thinking that the Lakers will definitely be greatly affected, and maybe they will indulge in it for a while. Of course, there are also people who think that the Lakers will not become weaker, after all, the current lineup is almost the lineup they won the championship.
And the Lakers have also strengthened and signed Nash and Kirilenko. Coupled with Kobe's injury, Kobe's 30 million salary directly saved the Lakers nearly 60 million yuan. Because the Lakers have seriously exceeded the salary cap, they almost have to pay a luxury tax of 30 million, and as a result, Kobe Bryant was injured, and the Lakers' salary has now dropped to the luxury tax line, and they don't have to pay a penny.
Of course, the Lakers' goal this season is still to defend the title, so the Zen master has set his sights on the free market. There are still a lot of veterans in the free market this year, and these veterans should be happy to hug the Lakers, right?
Bryant is injured, there are fewer people at the No. 2 position, and Klay Thompson needs a better bench to make up for his playing time. Even Zen masters have to think about injuries, and no team can do it for an entire season without injury.
However, it takes time to find someone, and the Lakers can only play with this lineup first.
The Lakers have two games in October, one against the Clippers and the second against the Warriors.
The strength of the Warriors is still good this year, and they signed Ai Godala Jr. and O'Neal Jr. in the free market. The starting lineup was '05 Australian Bogut, David Lee, Harrison Barnes, Iguodala and Curry. There are a few good benches on the bench, not to mention O'Neal Jr., a sophomore rookie, Draymond Green, is one of the few forwards in the league who can stop James.
Curry, the Warriors' star player, has grown over the years, averaging 23 points per game last season. His three-point shot is accurate, and if he doesn't have a good defender to follow him, he could have finished the game alone. In last season's game against the Knicks, he shot 11-of-13 from three-point range more than two-pointers, earning him a career-high 50 points.
At the beginning of the game, Curry broke through Jeremy Lin in a row. Then attract Wu Di's supplementary defense and pass the ball to David Lee. David Lee, an offensive player, can be said to be like a fish in water in the Warriors, with many opportunities to get open spots, keeping his scoring at around 20 points.
The Lakers are now strong defensively at all positions, with the exception of the No. 1 position being the weakest. Take a look at the three players in the Lakers' No. 1 position right now, Jeremy Lin, Nash, and Darren Collisson. Nash is too thin to be squeezed away. Darren Collison is too short, only 183cm, to be shot directly in the head.
So the defense can only look at Jeremy Lin, fortunately, Jeremy Lin's defense is in the middle and upper reaches of the league, otherwise the defense of the Lakers' No. 1 position will really become the focus of all teams' attacks.
David Lee scored a few goals and couldn't help but have some pride. Wu Di can be said to be the best defensive person in the league, but he can still score when Wu Di is in the opposite position.
David Lee's smug appearance was seen by Wu Di, and he immediately reached out to ask for the ball. Jeremy Lin passed the ball over, and Wu Di leaned directly on David Lee, pushed him away, and then jumped up and made a hook directly outside the penalty area.
After a period of training, Wu Di's hook hand can be said to have become a great success. Although he is only 203cm, he can't stand his arms wide, he stands and touches an astonishing height of 285cm, and the height of the basket is only 305cm.
And Wu Di's bounce is notoriously good, and after his hook shot, the basketball goes down.
Warriors fans are a little confused, how can you defend such a ball? Don't say that David Lee's defense is not good, even if you change to a very good defense, you don't dare to reach out to defend it! If you touch a basketball, you can interfere with the ball, so it's better to let him shoot, and maybe he can bounce out of the frame.
Wu Di's first section was all kinds of hooks on David Lee's head, beating David Lee's body to the ground. Warriors coach Mark Jackson had to swap him for Green, who had a better defense.
Although rookie Green played David Lee as a substitute, his defense was much better than David Lee's. However, his height is a bit short, only 201cm, which is shorter than Wu Di. However, he is very athletic and often defends opposing forward scorers.
But today, Green faced Wu Di, there was no way at all, Wu Di's inside and outside shots he couldn't stop, and his strength was not as strong as Wu Di, so he could only watch Wu Di score.
The first quarter of the game was not over yet, and Wu Di suddenly received a prompt from the system, "Get a new nickname: Tiangou Successor." The nickname can be redeemed for ten wins. ”
Wu Di was stunned, he hadn't gotten another nickname for several years, and now he had a new one, which made him feel very surprised.
However, thinking about the need for 200 wins to promote Lu Bu, Wu Di felt depressed, if he didn't have a nickname, he would have played this season, and he wouldn't have been able to make up so many wins. You must know that he only has 98 wins now, and with this nickname of only 108, even if he wins the championship this season, he may not be able to get 92 wins.
Relying on the sky hook, Wu Di scored 19 points on 9-of-9 shooting in the first quarter, leading the Lakers to a 6-point lead over the Warriors 38:32.
After Wu Di was inside, various statistics have been substantially improved, and the most significant improvement is rebounding, he reached 16 rebounds in the last game, and grabbed 7 rebounds in the first quarter of this game. His muscular body, combined with his strong strength and nose for rebounding, made him unbeatable in rebounding, and the only price was a drop in rebounding for the UAE.
