The 76ers' surge is expected by the league, after all, they are the defending champions.

The Lakers, the most luxurious and extravagant team in the West, unexpectedly suffered three consecutive defeats, except for the loss to the Mavericks in the opening game, and then the Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers and the Clippers, the rivals of the same city.

In the first phase of the power rankings, the Lakers fell 21 places, from the first in the league to the 22nd in the league, and the record was even more embarrassingly ranked first from the bottom of the league.

The whole league is talking about this collapsed luxury team, although three games is nothing, but the media in Los Angeles has used the dismissal to put pressure on the current Lakers coach Mike Brown, and unceremoniously pointed out that Mike Brown is simply a fame seeker and does not know how to form chemistry between superstars, and Phil Jackson is 10,000 times stronger than him in this regard.

Under such pressure, the players within the Lakers are also worried, and Nash found that after coming to the Lakers, he seems to have completely changed a style of play, and he and Howard's blocking and dismantling are not at all like Xiao Si back then, completely different paths and different ways.

Finally, in Game 4, the Lakers used a 108-79 win to block the Yoyo crowd, and the target was the hapless Pistons. Greg Monroe, who is good at low-post offense, got lost in the twin-tower lineup of Gasol and Howard, and sleepwalked through the game with 8 points and 7 rebounds. That is, during the time of coming off the bench, the Pistons found that Andre Drummond, the newly selected center this year, was extremely active in the face of the first center Howard, and in less than 22 minutes, Howard was rewarded with two blocks!

Howard shot 12-of-14 from the field

On Nov. 6, the 76ers host the New Orleans Hornets, who have the Hornets as the No. 1 finale this year.

Tang Wenlong wanted to give Champion Lang a good lesson in this game, but unexpectedly, Anthony Davis was directly on the injury list, he didn't watch the news, he didn't know what kind of injury this Champion Lang was, and he still had a little regret in his heart.

This is probably his complex as a role model, almost every time he meets the champion in the league, he wants to prove himself, although the facts have proved that he is the best player in the 10th class.

In this game, the shooting percentage of both sides was not high, the 76ers were a little more than forty percent, and the Hornets were even less than forty percent.

In the end, the 76ers won the Hornets 89-77 at home by 12 points, and Tang Wenlong saw Anthony Davis in a suit on the bench, and the two shook hands with a smile and hugged lightly.

"Next time you're in New Orleans, you'll have to play!" Tang Wenlong said with a smile.

Anthony Davis has a good temper, he participated in the Olympics with the United States team this summer, his knowledge and ability have increased a lot, and he also met Tang Wenlong, after hearing Tang Wenlong's words, he also smiled slightly, and responded generously but not weakly: "Yes, I will definitely work hard to defend and try to grab every rebound, and the 76ers' shooting percentage will definitely be lower than our Hornets when the time comes." ”

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it." Tang Wenlong laughed out loud and took the rookie's challenge.

In this game, Tang Wenlong only scored 22 points, but he sent 11 assists, attracting the bag and distributing the ball to empty teammates He became more and more proficient, and because of his open vision, his passing can always find teammates far away, and rely on excellent passing skills to complete the pass in advance!

And in the West, there is also Kobe Bryant, the Lakers' star who wants to pass the ball well.

After the Lakers welcomed Howard, an important discussion in the outside world was whether the Lakers could move the ball correctly? After all, Howard's shooting percentage and interior lethality are there, even if he is a technical rough brother, with a superman-like tendon meat, there are almost no players in the NBA who can stop him.

Another important reason for the disintegration of OK that year was the distribution of the ball, and the media was worried that Kobe Bryant would not be able to pass the ball well.

As a result, at the beginning of the new season, Kobe Bryant really changed his previous style of play, concentrating on feeding the ball to the two towers on the inside, and he averaged less than 14 shots per game, with a poor record of 1 win and 3 losses.

Mike Brown patiently reassures us that we will definitely find a tacit point and create chemistry, and you are doing a great job.

In the fifth game against the Jazz, the starless Jazz faced the Lakers, whose starting value was almost equal to the value of their entire team, and played extremely aggressive and impactful!

Pau Gasol couldn't handle Millsap at all, and was defended by the latter with only 2 of 9 shots in the game, you know, Millsap's height is only 2.03 meters, and Pau Gasol is a super big man with a registered height of 2.13 meters, and his actual height may exceed 2.15 meters!

The end result was that Bryant scored 29 points and dished out four assists, including 15-of-17 free throws and six turnovers, most of which were overturned by the Jazz when passing to the interior. And his 4 assists are already the highest on the Lakers' team, with only 11 assists combined.

It would be a miracle to win in such a situation, and the Lakers lost to the Jazz 85-94.

It's not that Gasol's play is so bad that it drags down the Lakers, but the Lakers are not in the same tune, there is no cooperation and chemistry, and most of the team's strong shots have turned into a crisp iron, and the shooting rate is pitifully only a little more than 30%. The only awesome thing is the Lakers' free throws, which were frantically 46 free throws!

That is, after losing this game, the Lakers brass ran out of patience with Mike Brown. On the second day, Mike Brown directly took the blame and resigned, and the NBA caused an uproar.

"The luxury army took the coach to the knife, and this pot shook Mike Brown's heart 10,000 unconvinced." Tang Wenlong shook his head when he saw Brown after class, this is the NBA, the most commercial and ruthless places will all erupt after a series of failures, cold and cold.

It's none of your business, hang high.

The Lakers encountered all kinds of unhappiness Tang Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he once thought that the Lakers would be the number one enemy of the 76ers this season, but he didn't expect that the other party himself had fallen into internal attrition.

The 76ers continued their journey in November, then defeated the Celtics, Raptors and Bucks to start the season with six straight wins and rank first in the league.

Before playing against the Celtics at home, Ray Allen also invited several old teammates such as Garnett and Pierce to a local Philadelphia light meal. Speaking of which, Ray Allen's failure to go to the Celtics' sworn enemy Heat also made everyone's opinion of him a little lighter, especially seeing the 76ers in full swing now, Pierce and Garnett were faintly envious in their hearts.

"There's no end to chasing your dreams, and Philadelphia is a great place to raise people."

Looking at the traffic coming and going on the street, Garnett said with a long sigh. (To be continued.) )
