Chapter 452: Destroying the Withering and Winning the Eagle

At the end of January 2018, the Los Angeles Lakers will fly to Atlanta for their first game in a four-game road streak against the Atlanta Hawks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Hawks are currently ranked fourth in the East, and their record is quite satisfactory to the fans, but Howard is disappointing the fans at this point, and it is obvious that the Hawks are now using Howard as a complete blue-collar worker.

Without the ball, as he gets older and his physical fitness declines, Howard's stats this season are only a pitiful 11+11.

……

"Dahei, meet again, congratulations on your series of achievements!" In the Eagles' home arena, after Howard saw Sun Dahei, he said with a smile, but there was a hint of loneliness in this smile.

Of course, Howard is lonely, once the league's No. 1 center, has now become a complete blue-collar player, and Sun Dahei, a newcomer who was quite similar to Howard's style when he first entered the league, has now become the absolute boss of the Lakers in one fell swoop, and even sat on the throne of the league's first person.

In contrast, Howard was saddened.

"Brother Howard, how are you doing lately?" Sun Dahei could also see the loneliness in Howard's eyes, and smiled and said hello.

"Hey, it's not as good as a year, and I don't know if I still have a chance to win the championship in my career!" The closest Howard has come to winning the championship so far in his career is the '09 Finals, but Howard didn't succeed in winning the championship that time.

The contract signed by Howard and the Eagles is 70 million for 3 years, and this contract now seems to be really small, only 23 million a year!

Signed in 2016, Howard will become a free agent when his contract expires in 2019.

This means that Howard will need to play another season before he can become a free agent after playing this season with the Hawks, when Howard is thirty-four years old......

At the age of thirty-four, for a professional basketball player, he is really about to reach the end of his career, especially the center position that requires a lot of physical confrontation!

If Howard can't win a championship with the Hawks, then he has little hope of winning a championship in his career......

Judging from the current situation of the Hawks' team, I dare not say more, they have no hope of winning the championship for at least five years, on the one hand, they are suppressed by the king of the East, James, and on the other hand, the players in their roster lack of strong points.

The Hawks have always been known as the Grizzlies in the East, and the lineup actually has a certain similarity with the Grizzlies.

For example, the inner line combination of the eagle is also extremely luxurious, the god of Warcraft and Mi! Grizzly bears are black and white!

And both teams have a main point of attack on their respective interior lines, which are Millsap and Marc Gasol.

But it's clear that Millsap's ability is still slightly behind that of Marc Gasol.

On the outside, the Grizzlies' offensive core is McConley, while the Hawks are Schroder...... It's also obvious that the gap between Schroeder and McConley is really not small.

It can be said that the current eagle is almost a poor man's version of a grizzly bear.

The Lakers play the genuine Grizzlies with great ease, and it is naturally easy to beat the Hawks, the poor Grizzlies.

In this game, Sun Dahei did not restrain his desire to shoot, but he did not occupy all the offensive power in his own hands as he did when he played the Kings.

In the words of Zhang Weiping's guidance, that is, Sun Dahei's game is extremely reasonable!

It is indeed reasonable, if the outside player can run out of the big vacancy, Sun Dahei will pass the ball, if the outside defense is more tight, then Sun Dahei will use his mid-range shooting and basket confrontation to eat Howard raw......

"Da Hei, how did you train this mid-range shot, can you teach me some secrets......" Howard looked at Sun Dahei's mid-range shot with a very good shooting rate, and was extremely envious in his heart, and asked Sun Dahei how to train his mid-range shooting ability.

At the moment, Howard is full of crisis, and it is good to say this season and next season that he has a guaranteed contract! But after the end of this guarantee contract, I am already thirty-four years old, plus I have no physical advantages, and I have no skills, where can I find a big contract?

Therefore, Howard also wants to take advantage of the past two years to develop his mid-range shooting ability, so that even if his physical fitness has dropped significantly, he can still have offensive ability on the court.

"Well, there's really no secret to this, it's completely practiced!"

Hearing Sun Dahei's answer, Howard smiled bitterly and shook his head, if he could really practice it, Howard would not still have terrible projection ability at the end of his career.

In his daily training, Howard must also have practice in projection, but due to his personal talent, his training effect is extremely poor, and he cannot play a role in official competitions at all.

"Hey, it's better for you young people, you are malleable, and you can learn anything quickly!"

The original Howard can be said to be very positive and optimistic, and it is rare to see his sad face, but this season, where can Howard still smile.

"By the way, Da Hei, after my contract with the Hawks ends, are you Lakers willing to accept me, a thirty-four-year-old guy......" Howard asked Sun Da Hei in a joking tone.

But looking at Howard's sparkling eyes, although Howard said this in a joking tone, he is actually very eager to join the Lakers, who in the entire league does not know, in the next few years, the Lakers will become the team with the best chance of winning the championship in the entire league.

Sun Dahei was stunned, Howard's question was really difficult to answer, Paul George of the Pacers had expressed his desire to join the Lakers, but in the end it did not come true.

Speaking of which, if Howard joins the Lakers, he will definitely play Sun Dahei's backup, and Sun Dahei and Howard can't play the power forward position......

There are pros and cons to doing this, and the advantage is that the Lakers can still maintain a high-intensity interior defense when Sun Dahei is off the court, and I am afraid that the Lakers will definitely become the most feared interior defense team in the league at that time.

The inside line composed of Sun Dahei, Howard, and Farid is desperate to think about.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious, that is, Howard's contract problem, although Howard is thirty-four years old at that time, there are many teams in the league that are willing to sign Howard with a salary of 15 million, and the Lakers have a salary of 120 million now, and it is difficult to squeeze out the salary to sign Howard, unless it is to give up some players in the team whose contracts are about to expire.

"Haha, big black, don't worry so much, at that time, if I signed a contract, I would definitely not need much salary, you know, I was eager to enjoy the feeling of winning a championship!" Seeing Sun Dahei frowning and thinking, without rejecting himself, Howard suddenly felt that there was a play!

If you can really join the Lakers, then the championship is simply in the bag, although if you say that if you give Sun Dahei a substitute, the data will definitely shrink further, but they are all thirty-four years old, and they are still staring at the data, what is the point......

"Good! If you have the opportunity, I look forward to joining forces with Brother Howard! Sun Dahei laughed, two years later, plus Howard promised to take a salary cut to join, it is not a big deal to agree to come down now.

……

Following Paul George, Howard also revealed that he wanted to join the Lakers, which is undoubtedly a happy worry for Sun Dahei......

And these two are still the best stars in the league, if two years later, these two really all joined the Lakers, you can imagine how terrible the Lakers will become at that time!

Of course, there are gains and losses! When the time comes to get Paul George plus Howard, the depth and depth of the Lakers' bench roster will definitely drop a lot.

But there is no way to do it, there are actually many players in the Lakers lineup, and it seems that the contract extension period is coming, such as Clarkson, the chief scorer on the Lakers bench, two years later, if the Lakers still want to renew Clarkson with the current cost-effective contract, it is unlikely.

In the Lakers, Clarkson can only serve as a substitute, and the salary is not very high, can he sacrifice so much to continue to stay with the Lakers? Totally impossible!

At that time, if Clarkson leaves, he will be able to free up more than 10 million annual salaries! At least if Howard is signed with this annual salary, it will not be a problem at all!

The Lakers have a lot of players on the forward line at the moment, and losing a Clarkson is actually harmless! If you lose a Clarkson in exchange for an important reinforcement on the inside, this deal is still a good deal!

……

In this game against the Hawks, the Lakers played extremely easily, and finally beat the Hawks by 27 points.

Sun Dahei cut 39 points, 29 rebounds, 10 assists and 7 blocks in this game, basically reaching Sun Dahei's average data per game.

At present, Sun Dahei's average data per game, after that terrible 108 points, has been pulled up a lot in terms of scoring, and the average has reached 39.7 points per game, which is infinitely close to an average of 40 points per game, which is undoubtedly very amazing!

It's just that because Sun Dahei has played too few games, his average data per game has not been included in the technical statistics, after all, everyone has played forty or fifty games, and Sun Dahei has only played ten games!

It is really unfair to use the average data of Sun Dahei's ten games to compare with others!

Averaged 39.7 points, 30.7 rebounds, 11.3 assists, 7.6 blocks and 2.3 steals per game!

If Sun Dahei can be included in the technical statistics, then this data is amazing, except for assists, Sun Dahei's other four big data all rank first!

In terms of scoring, the current leader is Westbrook, averaging 30.2 points per game, which is about the same as his average points per game last season.

Sun Dahei directly averaged nearly 10 points per game more than Westbrook, and this terrible gap can almost be called crushing!

In terms of rebounds, needless to say, Da Baibian, who is currently at the top of the rebounding list, only averages 13.8 rebounds per game, which is less than half of Sun Dahei's!

In terms of blocks, the thick eyebrows at the top of the list only average 3.1 blocks per game, which is also less than half of Sun Dahei!

As for steals, the top of the list is Chris Paul, who is currently averaging 2.2 steals per game......

Assists, the top of the list is still Chris Paul, through the improvement of assists in recent games, Chris Paul's average assists per game are now 12.7!

It can be said that the top position on the statistical list of the five major data has been completely occupied by the Lakers!

This can also show from the side that the Lakers are strong and unparalleled competitiveness!

……

After the victory over the Hawks, the Lakers have won four in a row, and with a record of 31 wins and 16 losses, they have successfully surpassed the Rockets and ranked third in the West!

Cry wolf! This time the wolf is really coming!

After Sun Dahei's comeback, the Lakers moved forward bravely with a devastating momentum, and went down to four cities in a row, directly surpassing the Rockets!

The Warriors, who are currently ranked first in the league, are 39-9, which is not much better than the Lakers' record, only eight wins!

What horrifies the owners and players of the NBA league even more is that Sun Dahei has not tried the taste of failure this season!

Sun Dahei was suspended for the thirteenth game he played this season, and the Lakers won that game as well!

All the thirteen games played before the ban were won, and after the ban returned, the four games played were also undefeated!

Terror! This is simply an undefeated myth!

Who can stop Sun Dahei's undefeated myth?! Who can stop the Lakers and cut off their winning streak?! If Sun Dahei and the Lakers are allowed to fight like this, the rest of the league will definitely be extremely desperate in their hearts!

Spur! Only the Spurs, whether they can stop the Lakers' winning streak depends on the performance of the Spurs in the next game!

The first two games of the Warriors and Lakers have been played, and the remaining two games are to be played in the closing stages of the season!

At present, the three strongest teams in the league are recognized as the Lakers, Warriors and Spurs, and only the Warriors and Spurs can hope to beat the Lakers.

If the Spurs are still defeated in the next game, who can stop the Lakers' winning streak? Counting on the Warriors at the end of the season?!

Not at all! As we all know, the Warriors are a team that is very afraid of injuries, and any injury to their Big Four will greatly damage the strength of the team, and there is an 80% chance that Coach Kerr will rest the Big Four in the game against the Lakers at the end of the season!

At present, although the Lakers only have four consecutive wins, fans know very clearly that once the Lakers get through the next difficult time for the Spurs, it will be equivalent to a dragon soaring into the wild, and it will be difficult for any team to have the strength to stop their winning streak!

Even the Lakers are very likely to break their own 33-game winning streak in team history!

It's entirely possible, knowing that there are about thirty-five games left in the season!
