Chapter 194: Bullshit is not!
In seven games that have been played, the Lakers have a 7-0 record and are in first place in the West, the first time since December 2013 that the Lakers have won 100 percent. After another win over the Warriors, everyone seems to admit that the Lakers seem to have reversed the slump of the past few seasons and started to slowly move in the right direction, even better than last season.
Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak has also seen the difference Scott has brought to the team this season, and he said in an interview with USAtoday's Samamick: "The team seems to be together now, everybody has each other's back, and Scott is their leader. There's no doubt that Scott has absolute say in the matter, I wouldn't say he's good to work with, he knows what he wants, and he'll do whatever it takes to get there. ”
In the offseason, although Kupchak thought Scott might no longer be the Lakers' head coach, he admitted that he didn't expect Scott to become so good. 'He's a little bit better than I thought he was, as a former player he would have had a little bit of an edge as a manager, but he's just a little bit better than I thought. ”
After yesterday's win over the Suns.
The Lakers have a 7-0 record and are ranked No. 1 in the West!
Almost the same configuration as last season, the current Lakers team has changed a lot from last season, and some people can't help but feel that after waiting for a few years, the Los Angeles Lakers finally have a new core.
And he is not a superstar player, he is the strongest rookie in the current team, the super giant embryo Lei Lei, and the coach who helped him the most, Byron Scott!
In today's practice, Lakers reporters conducted a brief interview with the players, and almost every player praised the young leader!
Clarkson: "I'm willing to go to the ground for Ray and the coaches, I'm willing to win for them, for myself, for the team. ”
Brown: "I'm willing to go out of my way for Ray and the coach, and I know they're willing to do it for us, both of them are coaches and bosses who really care about us and care about us!" ”
Lei Lei's performance this season has improved a lot from last season, and in the seven games that the Lakers have played, he has delivered good statistics and displayed praised leadership talents.
After seven games, the Lakers have won all of them, and this is a better start than anyone expected.
However, head coach Scott's focus is not on the progress the Lakers have made, but on where the Lakers are lacking, and he believes there are still many areas for the team to improve.
"If you look at the stats, I'm like, we're going to be conceding 108 points per game, we're at the bottom of the league in turnovers and free throws per game, and those are the numbers I'm looking at, and that's what we need to address," he said in an interview with USAtoday's Samamick. ”
Scott believes that winning will make it easy for the team to ignore the existing problems. "When you keep losing, it's easy to realise what the team has and they know they need to fix it," he said. But when you win some games and you tell the players what they need to do better, it's not so easy for them to take your words to heart. ”
After the win over the Suns, Lakers player Tzu Shiping said on social media that he hopes time can be turned back.
Why is that?
He said he should have returned to the locker room instead of coming out and fighting with them during the "Auburn Hills Palace Brawl."
The Auburn Hills Palace Mass Assault Incident, which occurred in the game between the Pacers and the Pistons on November 19, 2004, was the largest, heaviest punishment and worst mass assault in NBA history. The incident started when Ron Artest was lying on the technical table and a fan spilled beer on him, causing Artest to lose control of his emotions.
Atai (Ci Shiping) then rushed to the audience and beat the fans. Stephen Jackson followed, also beating the fans. Seeing this, the players join the clan. For beating fans, Artest (Ci Shiping) was banned for 73 games, suspended all salaries, and lost as much as $4.995 million. Jackson is suspended for 30 games and Jermaine O'Neal is suspended for 15 games. The Pistons also have players suspended for the game. Fans who provoked and participated in the incident were also punished accordingly.
Because of the infamous Auburn Hills palace incident, the name developed into one of the synonyms of the NBA group fight.
Lakers team Murray suffered a concussion in the team's game against the Suns and is certain to be unavailable for the team's game against the Mavericks today.
According to the latest reports, the Lakers team doctor will check Murray again, and after today's game, Murray will travel with the team to Sacramento for a chance to play against the Kings.
Murray himself is hoping to make a comeback against the Kings.
At the time of his injury, another member of the team saw hope, and that was Alex Caruso!
······
But alas, the Lakers lost the game against the Mavericks today.
Nowitzki taught Lei Lei and Howard another lesson, ending the Lakers' 7-game winning streak here!
The Lakers are hosting the Mavericks, and the Purple and Gold have performed amazingly in the new season, and they have just won seven consecutive games and want to regain their glory.
The Mavericks have not been in good shape lately, only to get their first win of the season in overtime, and they also fell to the bottom at the beginning of this game. It's just that the person who gave the calf a headache was a little surprised - Nick Young.
I don't know if Lei Lei has been controlling the ball more at home recently, and today's game was sleepwalking all over the court, and he didn't play the level he should have.
Seeing this, Scott immediately replaced him, and then in the first 4 minutes, the unbelievable singles king scored 13 points alone, covering all the points of the Lakers, and the team led 13-8. During this period, he made two 3-pointers, made 3 fouls and 3 free throws once, and hit two mid-range, without missing shots, which was simply possessed by Kobe. But unlike Kobe Bryant in the past, Nick Young's play is all dependent on the team's cooperation, and he is all catching the ball and shooting in the open position.
In this game, Yang was one of the best players on the Lakers team, and such an active state had a huge contrast with Young's career in the past two years.
You are strong, you are strong, Lao Tzu Nick Yang!
In this game, Lei Lei set a new career low and scored 15 points, and these 15 points were scored in the second half of him, so it can be said that he did not score in the first half!
Other local media caught this and hyped it, saying that he had stepped into the rookie wall, and his rookie wall came a little later than others, and he actually hit the rookie wall in his second season.
And after the game, Lei Lei kept practicing, and he took the reasons for losing the game on himself, but the fact is that he didn't play bullshit in this game, and he couldn't shoot in the empty position, let alone go to the basket.
Lei Lei felt that his legs were weak in this game, and he couldn't use any strength.
What's more, the media said that Lei Lei has begun to be prevented by Jenner, the youngest sister of the Kardashian family, not because he can't prevent it, but because the time has not come!
