Defeating the Clippers in the first round of the regular season is just the first step in Wang's plan, and it will take a whole season to complete the whole plan.

First, Wang had to rack his brains to figure out how to get the Lakers into the playoffs.

It's not that easy.

Although the current Lakers are not so bad in terms of lineup alone, the trio of Wang Cannon, Nash, and Gasol can barely be counted as the Big Three, and they are not much worse than those midstream teams in the league, but the strength of the team is not just a look at the panel players, otherwise last season's Lakers F4 lineup was so perverted, how could it be worthy of the playoffs, and it was eliminated in the first round?

The Lakers now lack a strategy that suits the team's lineup, and Wang Dacang and others are also very unfamiliar with the cooperation, and it is almost impossible for such a combination to have an advantage in the game.

Wang Cannon is indeed very good and can turn the whole game around by himself, but this does not mean that he can score 88 points in all the remaining 81 games of the regular season and force the Lakers to victory.

So from the very beginning, Wang Cannon has set his goal on the lower seats in the playoffs.

The sixth, seventh, and even eighth can be accepted by the king cannon.

However, in the highly competitive West, even the eighth place in the playoffs needs to win more than half of the overall season.

Wang Dacang remembers that last year's ninth place in the West seemed to reach 50 percent of the entire season, but it didn't make the playoffs, which is quite a sad story.

You know, even the seventh place in the playoffs in the East last year didn't reach half of the regular season wins.

The Lakers are in the highly competitive West, and it is undoubtedly quite difficult to reach the playoffs. This made even the king cannon, who had already hung it to the extreme, feel a little Alexander.

If you want the Lakers to be more comfortable in the game, the support of teammates is a must, if Gasol and Nash can give some strength, plus Wang Cannon. may be able to bring the Lakers into the playoffs, but in Wang's view, this is almost impossible.

It's not that he underestimated Gasol and Nash, but he was too unlucky.

The day after the game against the Clippers, that is, in the game against the Warriors on the 31st, Nash was tragically injured.

In this game, Wang Cannon scored 52 points and grabbed 23 rebounds, but the Lakers still lost to the Warriors, who bloomed more on the outside.

The most annoying thing about Wang Cannon is the Warriors, a team that uses run-and-gun tactics and loves to shoot three-pointers outside the three-point line.

After all, Wang Cannon is just one person. Defending the inside can be completely blocked, but on the outside, he can only defend one point.

The loss to the Warriors was not the point, and then Nash's inspection report came out, and he came directly to an injury for a month, and Nash was out for more than a dozen games a month.

At this moment, the only people the Lakers can get their hands on are Wang Cannon and Gasol, and it becomes more difficult to win.

Wang Cannon never expected that the current Lakers would be so unlucky, it can be said that they are really unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth. As soon as Nash was injured, the Lakers were the only point guard who could take a shot, Blake. Blake's level is more than enough as a backup point guard, but it is obviously not enough to be a starting point guard.

But even so, the Lakers can only bite the bullet and come like this.

As a result, the Lakers' third game, the game against the Spurs, lost again.

In this game, Wang Cannon also scored 50+ points, but it still couldn't save the fate of the team's defeat.

Then the fourth game. On November 4, away to the Atlanta Hawks, Wang Cannon scored 64 points, and the team lost the game again by a narrow margin of one point.

Now the problem is a bit strict.

You know, the Hawks' current roster is completely different from a few years ago, when the team's core Josh Smith left Motor City. The only player the Hawks can take a shot is Al Horford, but this team, which is probably unlikely to make the playoffs this year, has also broken ground on the Lakers' head.

What's worse is that the Lakers' starting point guard is injured again.

Sorry, this starting point guard is not talking about Nash, but Blake, who replaced Nash at the starting point guard position.

That's right, both of the Lakers' point guards are injured.

D'Antoni's hair is running out, but even if he turns himself into a rabbit, the problem of the team not having a usable point guard will still not be solved.

The Lakers' uniform team quickly selected a guard from the Development League to join the team's roster, but how much effect can this have?

In the first four games, except for the first game with the Clippers, the Lakers lost all three games.

Everyone knows that Wang Cannon is definitely not to blame for this matter, because in four games, Wang Cannon averaged 63.5 points per game, with a shooting rate of 57 percent, and at the same time grabbed an average of 19 rebounds per game.

Who is to blame for the loss? I can only blame my teammates for not giving it a try.

A lot of people have started hacking the Lakers online.

"No wonder Kobe always complains about his teammates not giving him a lot of energy, now look at it, Wang Cannon averages 60+ points per game, and he can't help the team to win, this is obviously not Wang Cannon's problem, what are the other players on the Lakers team doing? You know, as long as each of them scores 5 points a game, the Lakers' points per game can easily break 100! ”

Kobe Bryant's wish for many years was finally achieved, and he finally waited for a teammate he wanted, but tragically, because of his injury, he could only watch Wang Cannon repeat his former pattern from the sidelines. Could this be what is called karma? ”

Many of the people who said these words were supporters of Wang Dacang, and many of them were loyal fans of the Lakers, and no matter what, they all hoped that the Lakers could win.

In the face of this situation, the Lakers' superstar player Kobe Bryant also made it clear in public that the current Wang Cannon lacks some powerful helpers, and the current state of the Lakers disappoints him, he said bluntly. If the Lakers continue to be in this form, even if he returns in December, he won't do much.

The same words also appeared in the mouth of Lakers head coach D'Antoni, but he is different from Kobe, where Kobe Bryant speaks is still the type of person who stands up and talks without back pain. But as soon as D'Antoni spoke, he was immediately scolded by many Lakers fans who knew how to play.

"Just say a few words, the biggest reason for the Lakers' current situation is you, the head coach!" A veteran fan in his 50s scolded in a street interview on a local sports channel in Los Angeles, "Look at what the Lakers you are playing?" If you want to defend without defense, if you want to attack without attacking, the offensive end is fine, even if there is nothing, just one king cannon is enough, but on the defensive end, you must at least work harder, right? Or if this is the original sun? ”

This old fan's complaint is not indiscriminate. One of the important reasons why the Lakers' record is so bad is that the Lakers coached by D'Antoni are too small on the defensive end.

According to the Lakers' current interior configuration, Gasol and blue-collar Jordan Hill should have good strength in defense, but in fact, after playing, the Lakers' defense looks extremely bad, which actually happened last year when Howard and Gasol partnered on the inside.

At that time, D'Antoni might have been able to use Gasol and Howard's position conflict as an excuse for their mutual influence, but now Howard is gone. The Lakers' defense is still like this, and it is completely impossible to say.

So. After four games, Lakers fans began chanting slogans to get D'Antoni out of class.

If it weren't for Wang's cannon, maybe people's reaction would have been smaller, after all, the Lakers themselves were full of wounded soldiers and didn't have much thought.

But Wang Cannon is now so bullish and incomprehensible. The Lakers played so badly, which made fans unacceptable, especially the Lakers' beautiful victory over the Clippers in the opening game, which made many Lakers fans see the hope of this season, but this hope has only just been up. was immediately pressed down, which was very unacceptable.

However, no matter how noisy the fans are, it is the matter of the fans, and the personnel changes of the team are all the general manager of the team, and it should be the owner of the team to be exact.

Although the fans shouted that D'Antoni should be out of class, the Lakers' uniform team was very stable and did not say anything.

In this way, what needs to be done still needs to be done.

The Lakers' regular season continues.

It's just that the Lakers' fifth opponent is a little special.

Houston Rockets.

This team doesn't have a particularly big grudge against the Lakers themselves, and it's not quite the same as old rivals like the Celtics.

But from the beginning of this season, these two teams can also be regarded as enemies in a certain way.

Because the most famous player for the Rockets now is Howard, who played for the Lakers last season.

After staying with the Lakers for a season, Howard was very irresponsible and left a Qiē to run to the Rockets, making the Lakers miserable.

Lakers fans were furious about Howard's departure, and many radical fans even shouted "coward!" after Howard announced his joining the Rockets. Runaways! Signs with the words "" paraded through the streets of Los Angeles.

So for the Lakers, the Rockets can also be regarded as enemies.

In addition, the Lakers and Rockets are also the only two teams in the league with yellow players.

The Lakers' Wang Cannon, the Rockets' Jeremy Lin, a Celestial Empire person, and a Chinese American, the game between the two will also attract a large number of Celestial Empire spectators.

It's just that the current status gap between the two is very large.

After Jeremy Lin joined the Rockets, he couldn't find his rhythm for a long time, and was slowly replaced to the bench, and his substitute Beverley started more and more, and on the other side, Wang Cannon is the well-deserved core of the Lakers, as long as he is on the court, basically the ball is in the hands of Wang Cannon.

In addition to Howard and Jeremy Lin, another reason that is worth paying attention to is the other main force of the Rockets, James. Harden.

Since joining the Rockets last year. Harden can be described as soaring, instantly from a first-class star to a hot superstar in the league, especially when Kobe Bryant was injured and Wade was in a slump, Harden has been called the league's No. 1 scoring guard by many fans in the league with his excellent performance.

To know. The name of the league's No. 1 scoring guard, in the previous ten years, almost belonged to Kobe Bryant alone, even Carter and Wade in their peak failed to snatch this name from Kobe Bryant even once.

For Lakers fans, the title of the league's No. 1 quarterback has become accustomed to being on their home side. The cold first quarterback was inexplicably snatched away by a bearded man who can only count jù, so how can Lakers fans bear it?

Since Kobe Bryant is injured and unable to play, Lakers fans can only hope that the Lakers' defense will prevent Harden from death, so as to prove that Harden is not worthy of being the first quarterback. This title can only belong to Kobe.

Fans often have good ideas, but the reality always makes them sad.

How strong can the Lakers' defense be? Although Harden is always questioned, his own scoring ability is absolutely not said, under the Lakers' defensive line, Harden is like visiting his own back garden, constantly scoring, scoring.

Before the end of the first quarter, he had already scored 14 points. Efficient and scary.

At this time, Wang Dacang had just scored 18 points.

However, Wang Cannon and Harden are not in the same position. The Rocket's arrangement is for Howard to defend Wang Cannon throughout the whole process, Howard is different from other centers, he is very explosive, and the speed of short-distance sprints is even no less than that of most guards, so he can barely keep up with the speed of Wang Cannon.

But even so, in the face of the attack of the king cannon. Howard, who has won several Best Defensive Player awards, was also helpless, and was successfully scored by Wang Cannon.

Howard's defense is extremely depressed, while his partner Harden on the other side is having a lot of fun, and there is nothing more enjoyable than being able to score in front of Kobe Bryant and prove that he is the best scoring guard in the league. Although Bryant just sat on the sidelines.

After the end of the first quarter of the game, when Harden looked at the technical statistics and found that he was only 4 points lower than Wang Cannon's score, Harden's mind began to come alive.

Although Kobe Bryant is a veteran superstar and a former No. 1 quarterback in the league, it is already a time after all. And Wang Cannon is a real player, and now the league is recognized as the most perverted and incomprehensible player, what is more refreshing than being able to suppress Wang Cannon?

Although it is not a direct confrontation and there is no head-to-head interaction, Harden feels that if his score can be higher than Wang's, it will be quite a happy thing.

His idea soon came to fruition.

After coming up in the second quarter, Harden made two and one fouls on the outside three-pointer and made two and one successful inside, scoring 6 points in a row, surpassing Wang Cannon's score in one fell swoop, and also increased his personal score to 20 in less than 1 minute of the second quarter.

Now Harden was happy, he happily retreated, and in the process, he didn't forget to glance at the king cannon and grin.

What he means is, you see, I'm not weaker than you in scoring, and if I wanted to, I could score 88 points in a game.

But unfortunately, his movements happened to be seen by Wang Cannon.

Wang Cannon was baffled by Harden's expression, but although he didn't know why, he felt that this expression was definitely nothing good.

"No matter what the reason, I'll kill you first!" Wang Cannon didn't think about it so much, said hello to his teammates, and left Parsons, who had been bullied by him, who was about to cry, and went straight to Harden.

Harden is still thinking about finding two points for his chances to break his personal scoring record today.

But he was still in the process of thinking about it, when he saw a rather stout figure blocking in front of him.

Looking up, Harden was stunned to find that Wang Cannon was already standing happily in front of him.

In this case, Harden naturally understands that Wang Cannon is to defend himself.

There are only a few teams in this league, and you can't see you when you look up, and Harden has felt it more than once how perverted Wang Cannon's defensive ability is. He knew that according to his ability, he would definitely not be able to gain in front of Wang Cannon's defense.

But the previous comfortable offense has established a lot of confidence for Harden, so between the lightning and flint, Harden decided to give it a try himself, maybe Wang Cannon made a mistake and really hit a ball on his head?

As soon as he thought of it, Harden immediately accelerated in possession of the ball, wanting to pass Wang Cannon from one side.

Wang Cannon followed closely, Harden was not surprised, his action was just a feint, seeing Wang Cannon's center of gravity move, Harden immediately pulled the basketball back to the other side, jumped with both feet and shot directly.

What Harden wanted was to play a time difference that caught Wang Cannon off guard and didn't have time to let go.

He thought it was good, and the effect was good, the king cannon with the center of gravity shifted braked much slower, and when he turned around and caught up with Harden again, the basketball in Harden's hand had already shot.

Seeing this, Harden couldn't help but laugh confidently, but his smile quickly turned into consternation.

"Holy? Is that okay? ”

I saw that under Harden's stunned expression, Wang Cannon came from behind, jumped high, and his fingers were worthy of the edge of the basketball that had flown up and had a relatively high arc because of Harden's deliberateness.

Although it is only a slight point, the entire trajectory of the basketball has changed because of this, and it is naturally impossible to hit! (To be continued......)
