Chapter 150: Fighting the Wasps Again
The five roadblocks were all killed by the Lakers, and all the teams and even the media were dumbfounded for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info take a look at the next few games, play the Trail Blazers on the 5th, play the Hornets on the 7th, and play the Warriors on the 8th.
The Trail Blazers are a belly team, the Hornets just lost to the Lakers two days ago, and the Warriors are not strong. It only takes those three wins for the Lakers to surpass the all-time record and reach 34 straight wins, which is still the 34th straight win at the start of the season.
The media that favors the Lakers has begun to report wildly that the Lakers are too strong today. It's not that the Big Three are better than the Big Three, Kobe, Gasol and Wu Di form a powerful combination, which can not only act as the main force, but also Kobe and Wu Di take turns to take the bench, so that the Lakers have always maintained their offensive ability.
And the role players are also very good, Bynum, Pekovic, Brad Miller, Sun Yue, Ariza, Fisher and others can't dominate the team, but they can be important rotations.
You must know that Kobe Bryant played more than 37 minutes, Wu Di played 36 minutes, and Gasol played more than 30 minutes. The remaining time in the second, third and fourth positions adds up to 40 minutes, and there are still three people to share.
So in these positions, you don't need too many people, as long as there are no injuries, it's okay to have three people. Although Brad Miller, the substitute at the No. 4 position, was injured, Pekovic and Wu Di were simply fine, and when Brad Miller got better, the Lakers were full again.
In the midst of jubilation, the Lakers welcomed the Trail Blazers. Although the Trail Blazers are very good, they still have a few good players, not to mention the leading player Brandon Roy, 06 rookie Aldridge played last year, and he can gradually support the interior line of the Trail Blazers.
Oden, who was reimbursed last season, didn't show much talent and was more of a blue-collar player. It's fair to say that the Trail Blazers wasted a championship spot last year, averaging less than 10 points per game.
Perhaps this is also the first season, and the Trail Blazers don't want to reuse Oden, they still believe in Aldridge who has already played.
Aldridge still needs to grow, though, and he's not yet a superstar. When he played against the experienced Gasol, there were still some weaknesses.
Kobe Bryant continued his style of play, attacking when he could and passing the ball to his teammates when he couldn't.
In the face of such Kobe, the Trail Blazers have no way at all, Roy was killed by Wu Di, Aldridge was taken care of by Gasol, and Oden had to fight with Bynum for muscles.
The Trail Blazers fell behind at the beginning of the game and did not overtake until the end of the game. The Lakers crushed the Trail Blazers with their existing strength, accumulating their winning streak to 32 games.
The next game is key, because the Hornets are not weak. Although he just lost to the Lakers a few days ago, it doesn't mean that the Hornets will lose.
Before the game, the Zen master made a rare pre-war mobilization, "I believe I don't need to talk about how critical this game is, right?" As long as we can win the game, we can tie the history. ”
"We just won against the Hornets, but we can't take it lightly. Kobe Bryant, you have to keep the way you played in the previous games, and you have to pay attention to Paul and help him defend him at all times. If we could limit Paul in this game, we would have won more than half of the game. ”
"Wu, you also have to cheer up, today's game is more important than the previous 32 games, and losing the game now is equivalent to losing the previous efforts."
Kobe Bryant and Wu Di glanced at each other, and then both nodded to the Zen master, indicating that they knew.
The game started, and the Lakers still started Bynum, Gasol, Wu Di, Kobe, and Fisher. While the Hornets' starters are Chandler, David West, Peja, Butler and Paul.
Bynum and Chandler jump balls, and Bynum grabs the basketball and gives it to Fisher. Fisher dribbled the ball past half court and handed it to Bryant.
Butler hurriedly stepped forward to defend, Kobe Bryant shook off Butler with a crotch dribble, and then made a pull-up jump shot and hit a three-point shot.
When Kobe Bryant returned to defense, he shook his wrist at Wu Di, saying that he felt good today.
Wu Di raised an eyebrow, left Peja slightly, and ambushed behind Fisher. Paul's two cross-steps made Fisher out of position, and Paul took the opportunity to break through Fisher and kill inside.
Wu Di immediately made up for it, and Gasol and Bynum would probably suffer if they made up for Paul. Wu Di blocked Paul's once, not to stop him from killing the inside, but to block his route to Peja's pass, as long as Paul dared to pass, Wu Di was sure to break the ball.
Paul tried to shake off Wu Di, but was unsuccessful. Neither Bynum nor Gasol went to the basket to stop Paul, and Paul could only make a layup under the threat of Wu Di.
Paul took the ball to the other side of Wu Di and threw it directly. Wu Di interfered, but it didn't work, and the basketball fell into the hoop.
Wu Di didn't care, he picked up the ball directly, walked to the basket out of bounds, and threw the ball to the front court. The Hornets players were immediately shocked and hurriedly returned to defense, but when they turned around, they saw that Kobe Bryant had already run into the three-point line.
Bryant started running forward when Paul made a layup. He knew that whether Paul scored the ball or not, he had a chance to break fast. in, Wu Di will definitely serve quickly, if he doesn't score, Wu Di will definitely be able to take the rebound off Paul's head.
Sure enough, Wu Di served at the first time Paul scored, and the basketball smashed directly to the basket like a cannonball. Kobe Bryant waited for the basketball for a while, and after catching the ball in his hand, he immediately jumped up and pressed the ball into the basket fiercely.
"Yay—"
Bryant waved his arms and roared, and after returning to the backcourt, he jumped up with Wu Di and bumped his ass.
"Nicely dressed, brother!" Kobe Bryant slapped Wu Di's ass hard to show encouragement.
Wu Di struck Bryant in the chest with his fist, which counted as a response.
The Hornets served, and Paul faced Fisher again, but this time Fisher seemed to have found a knack for defending Paul, and Paul changed three times without throwing him off.
Paul had no choice but to give the ball to David West. The other three didn't have a good chance, Chandler wasn't an offensive player, and Peja and Butler had super defenders around them, and the two of them didn't play well on their own. It is also possible for David West to score against Gasol, he and Gasol not only have similar offensive ability, but also have similar fame, and can do it back and forth.
David West singled Gasol successfully, the Lakers attacked, and Bryant once again took the ball from Fisher.
Butler came over to defend, Bryant dribbled in the direction of the bottom corner, and Butler followed. However, Wu Di suddenly ran over and of course easily blocked Butler. Bryant immediately took the opportunity to rush inside.
Peja hurriedly changed defenses, but was thrown away by Kobe Bryant's change of direction, and could only watch Kobe rush into the interior. Chandler made up for the defense inside, and Kobe Bryant immediately passed the ball to Bynum, who received the ball and jumped on the spot to dunk and score.
