Chapter 41: The Savior Is Coming

The situation in the NBA in the new season is still strong in the West and weak in the East, James returned to the Cavaliers, and the new Big Three composed of Irving and Love became the biggest favorites in the East; However, the strong teams in the west have not changed much, and they are basically the same as last year's framework. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the new season, the Lakers' goal is still to win the championship, but before that, they have a new task to complete, which is to help Kobe Bryant score.

In the NBA's all-time scoring list, Kobe Bryant ranks fourth, and he is close to Jordan's 32,292 points in third place, and this season, Kobe Bryant's total points will definitely surpass Jordan's.

The Lakers have reached a consensus within the team, and they have turned on the "give the ball to Kobe" mode, and the result is that the 36-year-old Kobe Bryant has also averaged 36 minutes per game, and Kobe Bryant has averaged more than 30 points per game.

The Lakers' record is not very good, the winning rate has always fluctuated around 50%, but Lakers fans don't care, last year's disadvantage was able to enter the playoffs, and then win the championship, and this year it is always in the top eight.

Finally, Bryant completed the feat of surpassing Jordan in the all-time scoring total. Perhaps it was overexertion, Kobe Bryant strained the shoulder muscle half a month later, and another season was reimbursed.

Without Kobe's mixing, the Lakers finally gradually showed their fangs, and played a wave of 35 consecutive wins in the second half of the season, directly breaking the previous record of 33 consecutive wins also held by the Lakers.

After Thomas Jr. replaced Kobe Bryant as the starter, he gradually showed super potential, and with the increase in playing time, Thomas Jr.'s average points per game also skyrocketed.

Thomas Jr. has a lot of offensive means, and his average three-point shooting rate can reach 38% per game, although it is not a perverted accurate, but it is also a first-class level. Aside from the three-point shot, Thomas Jr.'s biggest weapon is the breakaway score. As a small man, he is very fast and can easily break through opponents' defenses.

However, for many breakthrough players, they can break through the opponent's outside players, but it is difficult to resist the blocking of the opponent's interior players, especially Thomas Jr., a player who is only 1.75 meters tall, does not need the kind of seven-foot long big center, almost every player who plays in the NBA can block a 1.75-meter guard.

But Thomas Jr. is the best player in the league to dodge blocks, his breakthrough will always bypass the block of the opponent's interior player, even if it is a seven-foot-long man guarding the basket, Thomas Jr. can also find a chance to break through and score, and among the first-class guards in the NBA, Thomas Jr.'s block rate is the lowest one, which is where he is powerful.

There are many people who say that Thomas Jr. is an inspirational performance, Thomas Jr. is the 60th pick in the second round and the first from the bottom, and with his height of 1.75 meters, he can stand in the NBA and become an All-Star player, which is definitely an inspirational good example.

But in fact, Thomas Jr. himself has the strength of a top defender, so it is normal for him to perform well, it is not inspirational, it should be regarded as seriously underestimated, and he has been underrated for many years in a row, until he led the Celtics to play results, and people realized that he was a top defender.

This year's Lakers don't have to worry about the playoffs, so after the time enters March, the Lakers also began to take turns off, after all, the run-and-bomb tactics are very physically exhausting, and there are several veterans in the Lakers, such as Carter, Marion, Ci Shiping, O'Neal Jr., etc., are all close to 40 years old, and it is impossible to keep running like when they were young.

The rotation break obviously relieved the veterans who had run for most of the season, and playing one game and one rest was also a kind of cultivation for them, and it was also for the playoffs.

In the 2015 NBA playoffs, the newly formed Cavaliers triumvirate really killed all sides, marched all the way, and easily entered the finals.

In the West, the Thunder did not enter the playoffs because of Durant's injury, and everyone originally thought that Paul would complete the dream of the Western Conference Finals, but they did not expect the Warriors and Rockets to emerge.

The Warriors have changed their head coach this season, Mark Jackson has stepped down, new head coach Steve Kerr has successfully activated Green, and with the addition of the perverted Splash Brothers, the Warriors have taken on a new look and become the top powerhouse in the league.

And the modern combination of the Rockets, after a season of running-in, has become more and more mature. In particular, Harden has made outstanding progress compared to last season, which has made the Rockets' record soar and successfully crush the Clippers under their feet.

Entering the playoffs, Howard once again became a "real thigh", when he was on the court, the Rockets were able to organize a solid defense, and when Howard was not there, the Rockets' defense was completely lowered a notch.

Harden is like glue with Kardashian, I have to say that Kardashian is really "ruinous" for NBA players, Harden has been defending with his eyes throughout the series, although Harden's personal data is still very good, but the Rockets lost to the Lakers without suspense.

As for the Warriors, it is the hardest bone that the Lakers have encountered in the playoffs.

This season's Warriors are indeed strong enough, although Curry is not as perverted as next year, Klay Thompson's stability still needs to be strengthened, and Green is not the three-point man, but the Warriors' two big interior David Lee and Bogut are still there, so in terms of lineup configuration, the Warriors are better than in the future, especially in the playoffs, David Lee and Bogut are more effective than the regular season.

Fortunately, the Lakers' lineup is not weak, Zhang Guan threw a three-point shot, which was the same unreasonable, both sides were more dependent on three-point shots, and as a result, they scored high points in every game. In the end, the two sides fought seven games, and the Lakers finally won the final victory.

As for the finals against the Cavaliers, on the contrary, there was no trouble for the Warriors, Love and Irving were all injured, and even missed part of the playoffs due to injury, James was once again alone, so in the finals, the Cavaliers only won one game at home, and all the others lost. The Lakers won the championship with an overall ratio of 4:1.

……

After getting his second NBA championship ring, Zhang Guan did not continue to stay in the NBA.

The framework of the Lakers has been basically formed, and the only way for the Lakers to operate next is to wait for Kobe Bryant to retire, and after saving 25 million salary space, it is enough to give a superstar a new crown, and the Lakers are still in the ranks of the championship-winning teams.

More importantly, Zhang Guan has to prepare for the upcoming Rio Olympics.

In the Rio Olympics in history, the national team's record has regressed compared with the previous two editions, in addition to some objective factors, the main reason is that the "welfare" of hosting the 2008 Olympic Games has basically disappeared.

Eight years ago, as the host, the national team spared no expense to cultivate a group of outstanding athletes, and that group of athletes also achieved the best results in history. And now eight years have passed, many of the outstanding athletes of that year have retired, and even if they have not retired, their strength is not as good as before because of age or injury. In many events, the national team is in a state of lack of success, the old and the young, and it is normal for the performance to decline.

However, Zhang Guan's performance is still brave, at the Rio Olympics, Zhang Guan, like the previous two editions, still won ten gold medals, and Zhang Guan also became the athlete with the most gold medals in the history of the Olympic Games with a total of 31 Olympic gold medals.

……

On November 15, 2016, the 5th round of the top 12 matches of the Asian World Cup in Russia was held, and the national football team sat at home against the West Asian powerhouse Qatar.

The national football team has only 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses against Qatar in the 9 times in the world preliminary stage, which is at a disadvantage. After the first four rounds, the Chinese team finished at the bottom of the group with 1 draw, 3 losses and 1 point. Qatar has 1 win, 3 losses and 3 points, ranking second from the bottom of the group. The two teams can be said to be brothers and sisters. At the same time, this game is also the first official match of Lippi's national football team.

In the end, the national football team was forced to draw 0-0 by Qatar with the advantage of the field, and it has not been able to get a victory after 5 rounds. At the same time, the national team remains at the bottom of the group with two points, and the difference between Uzbekistan and Uzbekistan, which is third in the group, is as much as seven points.

Before this competition, there was still a 5 in 1,000 chance of the national football team qualifying, and after this game, the probability of the national football team qualifying was only 1 in 10,000, and it can be said that there was only a theoretical possibility left.

The world's top football coach can't save the national football team. At this time, fans across the country know that the national football team has bid farewell to the 2018 World Cup, and in 2018, we have become spectators again......

"Hey, this World Cup is out again! If you want to show up, unless you win all five battles! ”

"Even if you win all five battles, you can't qualify 100%, and it depends on the faces of others."

"yes, I think it's a miracle to be able to fight for a third place and get a place in the play-offs. But even if he wins the third place, it will definitely be no fun to compete with South American countries for the qualifying places. ”

"I don't know if I can see the national football team qualify in my lifetime."

"Wait, when the World Cup is expanded to 48 teams, maybe the national football team will have a chance."

The Internet is full of disappointed voices from fans, but there are still people who have hope, they naively think that a miracle will happen, and think that the national football team can win all five games next.

The next match of the national team will be played in late March 2017, when the national team will host South Korea. In the first round of the match between the two sides, South Korea defeated China 3-2 at home.

Before the game, the national team announced the starting list, which has not changed much from the previous game.

Except for an unfamiliar name.

At the same time, it is a familiar name.

Zhang Guan!

The starting striker of the national team: Zhang Guan!
