Chapter 159: Questioning
Home advantage can affect the form of the players, and it can also have a range of influences on the direction of the game as a whole.
Moreover, in the playoffs, Coach Wharton prefers to play on his own home court, and if he plays on his own home court, it can greatly improve the strength of the Lakers' overall players.
It's a pity that the first game will go to the home court of the Trail Blazers.
Coach Wharton feels a little disappointed, now they have the strength to compete for the championship, but the main thing now is that they have not made the playoffs all these years.
The biggest problem is inexperience.
It's better to be ahead all the time in the race.
But once you fall behind, the mentality of the players changes a little bit.
Being a little behind can still resist, and falling behind a lot puts a little pressure on the psychology of the players, which is something that Coach Wharton doesn't want to see.
"The playoffs are finally here, and they're going to see how good our Lakers are..."
Coach Wharton said in a deep voice to everyone, his expression was very serious.
At this moment, all the players are very dignified, and they also know that they are going to face the playoffs, not the regular season.
If you lose the playoffs, you're going home completely!
In such a brutal competition, the winner is king.
As Kobe Bryant said: Someone must win, why can't that person be me?
Second place is the number one loser!
Second, this is already the biggest loser.
They came close to winning the game, but they didn't......
At this time, Coach Wharton's eyes fell on James, and since the last time James returned, Coach Wharton learned that James was not completely healed.
Because when James saw the Lakers' record at that time, he had a glimmer of hope in his heart to rush into the playoffs, and that glimmer of hope mainly came from Subei.
Subei's ability is far beyond James's imagination.
A draft loser will carry the entire team on his shoulders, and he is so indomitable, James was deeply moved.
So, that's when James made an amazing decision.
Early comeback!!
Even if your injuries are not healed, you have to come back.
In order to help the Lakers enter the playoffs, James only had that glimmer of hope at that time, but no one thought that the Lakers would really enter the playoffs.
It's incredible!
Coach Wharton also had to sigh at James's physique, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes.
Throughout the NBA, James' physical fitness has reached its peak.
No other player can match James' physicality.
"James, how are your injuries now?"
Coach Wharton's tone was very slight, even with a hint of concern.
And especially in a playoff game like this, James can't have any problems.
When everyone heard Coach Wharton's question, everyone was stunned.
What happened to James again?
Even Su Bei's eyes looked at James, and asked curiously, "James, are you still sick?" ”
"yes, James, are you ??? good now"
"Is it possible that the injury from last time has recurred???
All eyes were on James, with a hint of concern on their faces.
They also don't want James to get a serious injury, and if James is really injured, they Lakers probably won't be able to go far......
Did James listen to the people's concerns?
There was a touch of emotion in my heart.
It's hard to find such brothers, and this time James suddenly felt that he was worth coming to the Lakers.
James hurriedly waved his hand at the crowd, a smile on his face.
"There is no problem with my injury, coach I can play, don't worry, it's not too big!"
"Okay, James, you must pay attention to your own body, if you can't hold on, please tell me!"
Coach Wharton's tone was heavy, and his eyes were fixed on James.
James' impact on the Lakers is far greater than anybody's.
If he gets injured, the rest of the players will suffer.
That's the last thing Coach Wharton wants to see.
"Got it, Coach."
"I know how my body is, and if it really doesn't work, I'll be done."
James looked at Coach Wharton in front of him and whispered.
But he didn't think so in his heart, after all, the Lakers finally made the playoffs, how could they give up so easily.
James isn't the type of person to give up easily, either.
The other players nodded, their eyes showing respect.
......
Trail Blazer Arena.
Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stottes was watching a video of the Lakers' game, his eyes extremely serious.
Analyze the movement habits of the Lakers players little by little.
'This young player needs to be a little bit more careful.
The head coach of the Trail Blazers shifted his attention to Su Bei in the video, and the Lakers were able to score more than 60 points in the game against the Bulls.
It's hard to imagine.
Although the overall strength of the bulls is not very good, it is still good
BA's team.
Even if some superstars want to score more than 60 points against the Bulls, they will find it very difficult, too difficult......
Hardly many people are able to do it.
But it was such a young player who did it.
This also made the head coach of the Trail Blazers pay special attention, such a player has great potential, once he grows up, it is terrifying!
And next to him was a man with a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
Wearing a suit, he's an assistant coach for the Trail Blazers.
He looked at Su Bei in the video, and Su Bei's appearance made him more or less envious, how could there be such a good-looking person?
Very good-looking.......
And because Subei has a good figure, eight-pack abs ......
With a masculine twist.
It has made countless female fans admire.
The corner of the assistant coach of the Trailblazers couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, "Coach, he is still a newcomer, as far as I know, this player's name is Su Bei, and he is a draft pick this year." ”
"No team wanted it, and in the end it was the head coach of the Lakers team, Walton, who gave him a tryout and gave him a chance to play."
"Now that this Subei and the Lakers have signed a one-year short-term contract, I think this person won against the Bulls last time and scored more than 60 points, it seems that the Bulls players are releasing water."
"How can this possibly win more than sixty?"
The assistant coach of the Trail Blazers had doubts on his face, no matter how good a player is, it is rare to score more than 60 points, and even Lillard will not be able to score such a statistic.
