Chapter 710: The Future of the Lakers

Losing a game is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is not being able to find a reason for losing a game.

Failing to correct the reason for losing the game will only keep the team losing. This is the most serious consequence. It is also the most unacceptable consequence.

The reason for the loss of this game is, to a large extent, Sessions has to bear a lot of responsibility, but in the end, Chen Jiyuan is also to blame.

After all, in any sense of the word, when a team loses, the first person to be held accountable is the team's leader. If you don't even dare to take responsibility, then you don't want to be the boss of this team. Don't enjoy any more privileges.

In the whole game, although Chen Jiyuan got 25 points and 16 rebounds, it had no practical effect.

Sessions is even worse, with the only double-digit item in his stats being a negative turnover. He had five points, four rebounds, seven assists and 10 turnovers. Those 10 turnovers also set a single-game turnover record for Sessions.

In an interview after the game, Chen Jiyuan asked the daily question, "What do you think is the reason for today's strength?" ”。 He replied directly: "I didn't play well." I didn't do what a leader should do when it mattered, I didn't lead the team to success. This is my failure. We had a chance to win. But we didn't catch it. For the losing game, we should summarize it, then find the reason for the fight, and correct it in the next game. In the next games, we will play better and we will win the games. ”

A lot of reporters are around Sessions, and the question is, of course, what do you think of today's game.

Even if Sessions is awesome at this time, he can't say that I have done a good job, but I still lost the game, which is very helpless.

The responsibility for stopping must still be stopped. "I played like garbage in this game. They defended very organised, they were brilliant and I wasn't happy with the way I handled the ball today. I felt like I had done a terrible job. I have to get in shape before the next fight. I have to do everything I can to make my team win. ”

Sessions also said respectfully: "Derrick is a very respectable opponent and I always learn a lot in the game against him, I always get better. ”

For Derek Fisher, Sessions still showed considerable respect. Even if the two can be said to be absolute rivals now, Fisher is even a test of whether Sessions can get a big contract after the end of the season.

But, outside of the game, Fisher is definitely a respectable presence for most players, including Sessions. Like Nash, Fisher also has quite good popularity in the league. This is because Fisher is very sensible in everything he does. And never do anything too much. That's why Bowen doesn't like him in the entire league, except for the Spurs players, but his teammates at the time.

Playing in this league is like working together in the same company. A person who always gives you black feet in order to make more money for himself, who will like it, even if you have black feet, it is still the kind of black feet that make you unable to make money in this company in the future, and even cut off your money-making skills. If anyone could like him, it would be in three words - hardcore!

Although Sessions took responsibility for himself after the game, this is not just words, and in the news reports, Sessions is really still the main target of attack.

After the third game, Chen Jiyuan was also thinking about why the team lost, and repeatedly watched the video of the game, admittedly, Sessions' performance must be one of the major reasons for the team's loss.

However, Chen Jiyuan felt that he did have a problem playing, and he was really out of rhythm today. Although he was also able to score through aerial relays and cuts when outside players attracted attention, Chen Jiyuan felt very uncomfortable in the process of personal singles with the ball, which is also because the Lakers are really good at their own defense.

Bynum himself withstood the defense alone, and whoever was next to him came over to help defend it. Within a certain period of time, Gasol will also be asked to defend Chen Jiyuan. But many times, it is still Lefou, who is also the center of the fifth position, to defend. When Chen Jiyuan felt good, he changed from assisting defense to bag clipping. That's the Lakers' defensive strategy. In terms of dealing with Kobe, the Knicks' defensive strategy is somewhat similar, and Iguodala personally resists Kobe Bryant, while other nearby people distract a little more defensive attention on Kobe, and then are ready to help defend at any time.

However, the Lakers pay more attention to Chen Jiyuan's defense is to enter the interior defense, once Chen Jiyuan is in a very deep position, then the Lakers will not force Nima to force the face, and directly go to the three-person bag, and it is a shooter who does not care about the outside line, which is to make you Chen Jiyuan unable to open in a deep position. Forcing you to shoot from the outside. It's not a guarantee that every ball will be accurate, and that's true for anyone.

Therefore, forcing a player out of the interior is always one of the elements of defensive success. At this point, the Lakers are doing a good job.

And Chen Jiyuan himself had to admit that in this game, his killing of the interior line was not enough, which caused the Lakers' defensive rhythm to be very good, and his offensive rhythm was entangled in a chaotic rhythm because of his temporary weakness.

This is where Chen Jiyuan's performance today is wrong.

If it weren't for the fact that the outside line feels pretty good today. Chen Jiyuan may not be able to get this data today.

I'm going to have to fix my problems in the next game. You can't stop going inside just because you're defending too tightly on the inside. You can't be afraid to go into the box just because the defense is too hard in the box.

This is a change that must be made. Otherwise, the next game will probably be a copy of this one.

The fourth game was held as scheduled. The location is still in Los Angeles, the City of Angels.

Before the start of the game, in the pre-game interview, Kobe Bryant looked confident about the victory in this game.

'Of course we're going to win this game and we're going to have the next game. It wasn't long ago that the Heat set an example for us. It's not that if you fall behind 0:2 in the early stage, you will lose the series. Even on the battlefield of the finals, this is not a law that cannot be broken. We got the final victory and proved our quality. ”

In fact, what Kobe Bryant wants to say more is to prove himself, prove that I Kobe, without you O'Neal, I can still win the championship. Now as long as Kobe Bryant doesn't win the championship for a day, then O'Neal will always be a big mountain on Kobe's head. And as long as Kobe Bryant doesn't win the championship one day, according to Stern's plan to promote Kobe Bryant as the first person in the league, the less convincing it is.

, you're kidding me, just Kobe Bryant, if you want to talk about dominance, it's definitely not enough to be called the first person in the league, and the scoring ability is indeed strong, but it's not that there is no one in the league who can match Kobe's scoring ability.

Therefore, this year's Finals is particularly important, if Kobe Bryant really can't win the championship, then not only Stern may lose patience with Kobe, but the Lakers may also lose patience with Kobe.

In 2005 and '06, it was Kobe Bryant who lost patience with the Lakers, and now the situation is reversed. Now even Comire can't find any reason for Kobe.

Gasol has now grown into a super power forward who averaged 24.3 points, 11.2 points and 3.9 assists per game in the Western Conference Finals. On the inside, it is already quite a help to Kobe. Not to mention that the little shark is also growing year by year, and the effect of the Dinghai Shen Needle in the inner line is also showing up little by little. The configuration of the team is definitely not pulling Kobe Bryant's back. But with such a lineup, Kobe Bryant has not won the championship for several years.

Although it has entered the finals for three consecutive years, the runner-up has nothing to brag about, the first person in your league is the runner-up every year, which no one can admit.

Of course, if you have to say that Kobe is not weak, it is because the opponent's other position players are much better than the Lakers. That's why Kobe Bryant lost. Kobe Bryant is better than anyone. If you say that, there's no point in debating. When you start playing scoundrels, you don't deserve to be called a fan.

If we still don't win the championship this year, then what Lakers fans didn't even imagine could happen in the next few years.

Everyone knows that Kobe Bryant is the representative of the Los Angeles Lakers, but unlike that world, even if Kobe Bryant is strong and does not win the championship, then, when Kobe Bryant asks to trade himself again, it is possible that the Lakers will really trade Kobe.

In other words, the Lakers are likely to enter a rebuilding period. It's something that no Lakers fan ever thought about. After all, the current Lakers are in their prime of life. It's rare to go from that long-time playoff team to a strong contender for the championship now.

This is already quite a good progress, and if we were to rebuild, I don't know how young it would be to be a good contender for the championship again.

The management is not so impatient, even if it does not win the championship this year, it should be giving the Lakers a chance.

After all, starting small forward, Artest's integration is also a small problem, and it can be seen from individuals in the previous two years that the main reason for the defeat is in the small forward. And now that I've finally strengthened the small forward position, it's only my first year, and I still have patience.

In an interview before the game, Chen Jiyuan also said: "Oh, of course we won't let that happen." Here, at the Staples Center, we're definitely going to take the win. ”
