Chapter 927: Revenge
"Coach, this game is really fun, but it looks like the Lakers are a little tired lately"
On March 21, 2005, Seattle Key Arena, the game had just ended, and Seattle fans were almost gone, this place is a famous ball market in the league, although in recent years the SuperSonics have been a powerhouse in the West.
But the SuperSonics have not been popular here, and there have been some rumors in the league recently that the SuperSonics owners are ready to sell the team and prepare to cash out, and now the commercial value of the NBA is rising at the same time, many team owners are not in a hurry to sell the team, but some team owners are indeed ready to sell the team when the price comes to a high level.
However, some recent supersonic sales news has little impact on the team's players and records, this team is working hard for the fifth place in the league this season under the leadership of Ray Allen and Lewis, but there are a lot of teams competing for the fifth place in the West this season, and it is also a little fierce, and the schedule of the SuperSonics has not been good in recent times, and it needs to meet some strong teams such as the Lakers in a row recently.
Of course, in this game, in the face of the Lakers who were back-to-back away from home, although the team played very hard because the Lakers did not play, and the superSonics also bit the Lakers very fiercely, but in the end of this game, the team still failed to win the Lakers at home.
However, for Lewis personally, after leaving Zhuang Fei, every time he met Zhuang Fei, his team played ugly, and it was also surprising that Zhuang Fei's team did not show such dominance to his team like this game, of course. Accidents although accidents. But he played very well in this game.
"Yes. Recently, the whole world wants to beat the Lakers" Looking at Lewis Zhuang Fei also said helplessly, this game is a thorough offensive battle, but for the Lakers, in the offensive battle, a game actually only scored 114 points, and the final score was 114-109 to beat the SuperSonics, which is a bit incredible for the Lakers.
Generally speaking, the Lakers and the opponent are attacking, and if they don't hit 130 in a game, they are considered a failure. Even if there is no three elders, the minimum score of 120 can still be easily knocked down, and in this game, the Lakers barely scored 110 points when the opponent used foul tactics, which can also show the current situation of this team.
So after Zhuang Fei nodded in acknowledgement, Lewis also agreed. In fact, before the start of this game, they also thought about beating Zhuang Fei and the Lakers in this game. It just failed in the end.
After the Lakers returned to the West from their Eastern journey, the Los Angeles Lakers did not go directly back to Los Angeles to play their home games, but started their Northwest Journey again, in which the two back-to-back games of the Northwest Jazz and SuperSonics were just the beginning.
On March 23, 2005. In the 67th game of the season for the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Lakers challenged the Nuggets who had just made a big trade. The team traded Howard for James Posey and Scola, which is an improvement for this team.
At least in terms of combat power, the Nuggets are much stronger than ever, so after the transaction was completed, the team's record has become much better, and it is rumored that this is also the Nuggets' leading guard Arenas is also very happy, and has agreed to the contract renewal conditions with the Nuggets.
And before the start of this game, James Posey also deliberately found Zhuang Fei and complained to Zhuang Fei a little helplessly, after Zhuang Fei left, the Boston Celtics, he and Wade actually played very awkwardly, he was slightly better than Wade in that although he couldn't play the offense that Larry Brown wanted.
But he was able to play the defense that Larry Brown wanted, and he thought he would be able to stay with the Celtics because of this, but he didn't expect to be traded by Larry Brown in the end, which also made the former Boston Celtics player frustrated.
The starting lineup of the Denver Nuggets in this game is center Mark Blunt, big forward Scola, small forward James Posey, scoring guard Arenas, and playmaking guard Boikins, this is a very good offensive lineup, of course, the team's defense is also a bit tragic, except for James Posey, several other people basically have no defensive ability. And that's why the team can't go any further in the West, and while they've done well since the trade was made, it's not enough to disrupt the Raptors and Trail Blazers in the West.
Although it is difficult for this team to pose any actual threat to the Western team in terms of the whole season, they have brought a lot of threats in this game, especially in the face of the Lakers, who are not in good shape now, this team has created a lot of trouble for the Lakers under the leadership of Arenas, and after James Posey came, this team was finally able to have a first-class ball distributor, and it was not like before that Arenas could only be thrown alone, in this case, Naturally, the strength of this team has increased. It's not very far out for the Lakers to solve the problem in three quarters as they have done in the past.
And in this game, the Lakers used more than three quarters to end the suspense, the game was played until the last moment, and finally the Lakers relied on their more powerful overall offense to hundreds of Nuggets, although the team played very reasonably in the regular period, but at the critical moment of the game, Arenas still played too willful, and this is also the need for the new league super guard to adapt to these conditions.
After defeating the Denver Nuggets in this game, the Los Angeles Lakers also ended their recent away games, and at this time, the Los Angeles Lakers choked to death with a record of 67 games and 65 wins and 2 losses again ranked first in the league, and with only 15 games left in the regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers have won 11 games ahead of the Grizzlies, and at this time, as long as the Lakers win a few more games, they can ensure their first place in the league regular season.
After returning to Los Angeles from Denver, Zhuang Fei gave all the players a vacation, at this time when Zhuang Fei returned to Los Angeles, Scarlett's movie was already being filmed, this time Scarlett's movie, Zhuang Fei not only used the Lakers' film crew, but also invited the original crew of the former Sweet Life Part 1 or 2 from Warner to assist Scarlett, and even invited the directors of the first two parts of Sweet Life to serve as Scarlett's consultant. Coupled with the cameo starring of Zhuang Fei and the entire Lakers team, this is almost a Hollywood A-grade film.
Of course, although this movie takes up some of Zhuang Fei's time, it does not affect the Lakers too much, this is a very realistic documentary, and most of the time of the film is the Lakers' game pictures this season, as well as some training pictures of the Lakers team, in this case, Zhuang Fei, the leading actor, needs to really play some pictures of life, plus a realistic style, so it is not difficult, according to Zhuang Fei's estimate, this movie is estimated to be completed at the end of May, It was completely able to meet the deadline of the University of Southern California, which was released to the whole school at the end of June.
Although Scarlett's movie did not have much impact on the Lakers team, there is no doubt that there is a lot of compression of Zhuang Fei's time, which also makes Zhuang Fei unable to write tactics books or read newspapers and coffee in his office at a leisurely pace after returning to Los Angeles.
On March 25, 2005, the Los Angeles Lakers ushered in the 68th opponent of the season at home after returning to Los Angeles for a day of rest, the Phoenix Suns in the same district, in this game, Zhuang Fei once again sacrificed his full bench lineup, Kobe and Szzebiak and the Lakers three old did not play, these players were a little too tired in the previous period of time, the Lakers' starters in this game were Paul, Mo Williams, Bobby Simmons, Jackson and Josh Smith, for Zhuang Fei, Although the Suns will also work hard in this game, there is no doubt that in terms of the ability of this team, they may not have the ability to beat the Lakers on the road.
So this game is an opportunity for the Lakers to recuperate, and these substitute players of the Los Angeles Lakers did not disappoint Zhuang Fei in this game, in addition to Paul and Josh Smith are still very tacit, Mo Williams, who has performed quite well in the bench lineup in recent times, has entered the regular rotation time, and this game is also very good, and now this player has basically been transformed by Zhuang Fei into a style that usually does not take the ball and attacks with the ball, which is very similar to Kobe's style, is the most consistent scoring point on the Lakers bench, and in this game with the Suns, the Lakers bench player also scored 32 points in the game and a career-high score, and the final score in this game was 125-100, and the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Suns at home.
After defeating the Suns at home, the next opponent of the Los Angeles Lakers is the 76ers, the back-to-back opponent at home on March 26, and the team that defeated the Lakers not long ago, the Los Angeles Lakers are not ready to serve as a substitute again in this game, this time the Lakers are going all out, almost in the cheers of the fans, the main players of the Lakers who have returned to the home court for a few days to rest and have fully recovered are also at home avenging the away loss to the 76ers. And the final score of this game was also 134-100, and the Lakers have rarely scored 130 points recently.
And in defeating the 76ers for revenge, the next opponent of the Los Angeles Lakers, coincidentally, is also the Lakers' enemy this season, the Minnesota Timberwolves. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
