On the 7th, the Lakers ushered in the third opponent of this wave of Eastern journey:

- Knight.

Untainted by the Clippers' unlucky No. 1 pick, Blake Griffin managed to escape a kneecap stress fracture in his left knee that was supposed to occur the day before the start of the new season.

Unlike Oden, who had injury concerns before entering the league, historically, Griffin's reimbursement in his rookie season was mainly because the Clippers had bad luck in this period year after year.

Fortunately, in this life, the "Great Emperor Majesty" used his luck to forcibly suppress the Feng Shui, which was probably cursed, of the clipper.

Not only has the fortunes of many stars changed as a result, but he has also benefited a lot from it.

Ha?

What do you think Ajan has benefited?

No......

The "King Zhan" in the same period of history, how can he have the basic skills of the current "Captain Zhan"?

Although due to the overtraining of muscles in the early years of his career and the limited technical talent, Ajan was destined to struggle to become a player with a flashy style of play.

But compared to the same period in history, not only is Ajan walking less often, but the number of times he flips his wrists on the field is also visibly decreasing.

Despite playing with his all-time physical talents, this Ajan is definitely on a path full of hope and brightness at the moment.

Even so, of course.

Before the start of the Lakers' visit to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers, James still could not escape the torture from Barkley.

In the freshly released first issue of the new season, "Five Embarrassments......

James single-handedly contracted three of those goals.

The first goal: Let's watch James's wonderful pass to Wang Shuo on the sidelines, the latter shoots a halberd and pierces the heart with an arrow.

In response, Barkley commented: "LeBron showed his excellent vision and unparalleled big-picture vision in this offensive round.

The only regret is that Wang turned out to be the head coach of the Lakers! ”

The second goal: I saw James break through with the ball and pass the ball into the air, showing the style of "magician", eh...... Wait, what about my teammates?

Barkley laughed at the ball: "Do you think LeBron jumped up and noticed that no teammate could pass it?"

No, he's just proving to us just how strong his ability to stay in the air really is! ”

Third goal: James received Harris breakthrough ball, changed his left foot to his right foot after closing the ball, cut his left foot with his right foot, who said that the "dream dance step" can only take three steps?

In fact, compared with the first two goals, James's incomparably freehand offense is a proof of his progress in the eyes of Barkley.

As the saying goes, God doesn't give birth to me LeBron, and the "dream dance steps" are like a long night!

Barkley publicly appealed in this issue of "Five Embarrassments": "Hakim, don't you want to be taught by a good player like LeBron?

Although you have long since retired, I highly recommend that you hurry up and learn from LeBron, because only then can you understand the true meaning of 'Dream Dance Steps'! ”

After the first episode of "Five Embarrassments" was broadcast, the story of James single-handedly stealing the limelight from the Lakers will not be listed for the time being.

On the evening of the 7th, the high-profile "Champion List Eye War" officially began.

Since Griffin and Curry teamed up to contribute a Mars collision to the Earth game for fans as early as college, in the minds of many fans, Griffin and Curry are likely to become each other's lifelong enemies.

In the first four games of the new season, Griffin averaged 20.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game for the Cavaliers.

This "stupid chai" that was complained by fans in Wang Shuo's memory as likely to be a mixture of corgi and Shiba Inu has been interpreted with strength, Wang Shuo's previous judgment on him.

Wang Shuo experienced Griffin's hottest era.

How to describe the beginning of Griffin's career in Wang Shuo's memory?

In short, compared to Griffin, many superstars have had a bleak start to their careers.

Even to this day, Wang Shuo still remembers that during recess exercises, a group of people rushed to the cafeteria to watch the famous scene of Griffin's dunk.

Griffin, who is very physical, can always dunk (smash) the ball into the hoop in all kinds of incredible ways on the court.

In addition, Griffin, who has a very solid basic dribbling skills, can also use a set of dashing dribbling combination skills to frame the opponent's No. 4 position like a small forward.

In Wang's previous life, even though Griffin was named to the All-Star team five times and All-Star six times (including absence), many people thought that Griffin did not fully realize his talent.

From the poor Oklahoma to the Cleveland with the "Russian Village", in this life, Griffin, who was chosen by the knights, confirmed Wang Shuo's previous conjecture:

After moving away from the glittering Los Angeles, Griffin not only followed Wang Shuo's advice to further improve his dribbling ability this summer, but also developed his mid-to-long-range shooting ability ahead of schedule.

Despite the mid-to-long-range shooting percentage, Silly Fen still has a long way to go.

However, the knights' uniforms had already seen the endless possibilities in Griffin's body.

Stadium, after the warm-up, the two teams first revealed:

Lakers: Jr. Plus, Odom, Gallinari, Kobe, Ellis.

Cavaliers: Griffin, Brand, Williams, Moon, Westbrook.

On the sidelines, shortly after the start of the game, Wang Shuo noticed that Mike Malone had been recording something in his little notebook.

In this regard, Wang Shuo asked curiously, "What are you writing about, Mike?" ”

Malone laughed: "I'm recording the strengths and weaknesses of Blake's player. ”

On the side, Director Lu came up and said, "I found out when I was in the hotel yesterday, Mike, you seem to be very concerned about Blake." ”

Hearing this, Wang Shuo said, "Mike, you're not preparing for a return to the knights' coaching, are you?"

How do I remember you saying that you couldn't coach the knights anymore if you were killed? ”

Ma Long, who was seen through by Wang Shuo, blushed and said, "I was young and frivolous back then...... And isn't there a saying that you should get up from where you fall? ”

Wang Shuo glanced at Ma Long and thought: Where did you fall and get up?

Your body is clearly Griffin's glutton, you are cheap!

But......

Having said that, Wang Shuo knows very well that for Ma Long, who has always valued the ability to respond to the inside line, it is really difficult for him not to be moved by Griffin.

Before Wang Shuo's crossing, Griffin's career assists per game average had dropped to 4.0 despite being dragged down to role players later in his career.

But at the peak of his career, Silly Fen, who averaged more than 5 assists per game in multiple seasons, definitely has the potential to become a top-level playmaker No. 4.

Like Ma Long, Wang Shuo also likes this kind of inside line that can pass the club.

It is different from the outside organizational core.

Because of the range and ability to respond on the field, they can not only play the role of emptying the opponent's interior line, but also opening up space for their own outside offensive core.

In addition, when playing a series of tactics such as hand-to-hand coordination with outside teammates in the high post, they can also allow their outside teammates with the ability to play small and big, and easily get the opportunity to play small and big on the court.

Therefore, except for the Suns team with a special situation, whether it is in the Wizards, Knicks or Lakers, Wang Shuo prefers to use these interior lines to be the team's organizational core.

Overall, this is also the development and trend of modern basketball.

The elders, who have been weakened by version after version of the rules, will evolve in a more and more comprehensive direction.

Compared with the traditional responsibility of organizing the team's offense, the offensive attributes of small players will become stronger and stronger.

On the court, after the official timeout in the first quarter, Wang Shuo replaced Ellis, who had an average performance, with Curry.

If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, in history, the career fights between my turtle and Ellis were mainly mutual explosions.

Perhaps it was the excitement of playing Iverson in the last game that caused Ellis to enter the sage time, so this game is obviously Westbrook beating Ellis one-sidedly.

But I can't stop my turtle who is in a brave state, and I can't rely on Ellis.

Because Griffin and Brand's inside combination is wonderful......

But both of these guys can really play a role in emptying the Lakers' interior line.

Xiao Jia has excellent frame protection ability, but his lateral movement ability is a shortcoming of his tank-type meat shield.

Xiao Jia's assistance defense on the court mostly relies on position selection and awareness.

However......

In the early years of my career, once I rushed up, how could I reason with you?

Therefore, the Lakers can only rely on Odom to help defend the position in this game.

However, even Wang Shuo wanted to "suffer Odom again", Odom couldn't break through the limits of his ability.

Moreover, for Odom, who made the biggest sacrifice for the Lakers in the new season, Wang Shuo no matter how much the devil cares, he can't really treat Odom as a cattle.

In the first four games of the new season, Odom averaged only 7 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

If you didn't watch the game, you would definitely think that Odom was killed by Kardashian in advance.

But in fact, the reason why Odom's Excel is not good-looking is because it is difficult for him, as the offensive pivot point of the Lakers, to get the so-called effective data right.

If the NBA has the technical statistic of indirect assists, Odom's indirect assists statistic this season is definitely among the best.

No way.

Due to the Lakers' tactical ties, Odom is destined to struggle to put up beautiful assist stats on the court.

As for scoring......

In the case that the CPU is not overheated due to overclocking, Odom does have some ability to carry the ball and attack without the ball.

But what about the Lakers' perimeter attack group being so powerful that they don't need Odom to score on the court at all?

In the first quarter of the game, Gallinari beat Marvin Williams.

The Italian cannon scored 12 points and 2 rebounds for the Lakers in a single quarter.

Aside from the impact of injuries in his rookie season, Gallinari has been able to gain the upper hand when facing Williams.

In addition, Bryant also took advantage of Moon's defense.

Facing Moon, Kobe Bryant's score on the court was as easy as Wang Shuo eating ice cream on the sidelines.

In the first quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant made all 5 shots, including free throws, and scored a total of 15 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists for the Lakers.

In the new season, it will be difficult for both Kohei and Komy.

Because his teammates are too good, Kobe Bryant can always get a relatively relaxed offensive environment on the court, and with Kobe Bryant not being iron, the youth of a generation has passed.

Quick Loan Center Arena, the first quarter ended, 41-33.

Under Wang Shuo's tutelage, most of the Lakers in front of the TV have long been accustomed to this Lakers scoring 40 points in a single quarter.

Of course, they're also used to the Lakers' freewheeling defense.

If it had been placed in the past, for his teammates' too casual defense on the court, Kobe Bryant would definitely have turned on his death glare.

But under O'Neill's tearful gaze......

Kobe Bryant at this moment, where is the stunned young man who can stare at his teammates alive?

In the second quarter of the game, on the Lakers bench, Wang Shuo noticed that since the last game against the 76ers, O'Neal, who always carries a small notebook with him, is also taking notes seriously on the sidelines.

In addition, O'Neill will always ask Wang Shuo for advice on the lineup of the two sides of the game and the tactics arranged.

For example, in the first half of the quarter, after Griffin assisted me twice in a row to score, O'Neal looked at Wang Shuo with a curious look and asked, "If I could control my own mouth back then, would I be also suitable to partner with this kind of organizational No. 4 position?" ”

Wang Shuo nodded, "You can think of you as a super-enhanced version of Russell Westbrook.

After Blake opens up space for you, as long as your outside teammates have a certain range, you will be as relaxed as you can score on the court. ”

After a pause, Wang Shuo added: "And compared to Kobe......

Actually, you're better suited to a player like Stephen.

Because as long as you're willing to block Stephen, with your pick-and-roll ability, no one can stop your down. ”

In Wang Shuo's opinion, if it is a "magic shark", O'Neal only needs to block and dismantle to be able to eat fresh food with Curry.

Why?

Because Curry's accuracy determines that even in his rookie season, he can help O'Neal play the stiffness of the opposing defender when he is blocking and picking with O'Neal.

In other words, as long as the opponent dares to give O'Neal a chance to go down, he can rush into the opponent's basket in an instant.

As for what's next?

In Wang Shuo's eyes, whether Curry chooses to shoot or pass, the defender has to cry.

Because the "Magic Shark" also has a terrifying weapon.

That's his terrible frontcourt rebounding ability.

O'Neal's four seasons with the most rebounds per game in his career have been three-quarters of his Magic career.

With the exception of the injury-plagued '95/96 season, O'Neal averaged more than four rebounds per game in three of his four seasons with the Magic.

And in the 93/94 season, O'Neal also did something unconscionable like averaging 5.7 frontcourt rebounds per game in the playoffs.

To know......

That is the report card that O'Neal handed over in the game without Kobe's assist.

Therefore, after listening to Wang Shuo's description, I saw O'Neill say with a depressed face: "How do I feel that I was born ten years early? ”

Hearing this, Wang Shuo immediately glanced at O'Neill.

Because if O'Neill was really born ten years late, then he would be the undisputed champion of the 03 golden generation.

You old comrades, can you still leave a way for James to live?

On the court, this night, the Cavaliers didn't cause too much trouble for the Lakers in the subsequent games.

However, after failing to make the team's squad for five games in a row, O'Neal was clearly a little unable to sit still.

Because although his legs and feet are not as flexible as they were back then, he also wants to try...... What it's like to play for this Lakers team.

Wang Shuo saw O'Neal's thoughts, and said to O'Neal when the game entered garbage time in the fourth quarter: "Shaq, this month, you can train with peace of mind.

Next, I'll start you in a hugely important game. ”

O'Neill knew that Wang Shuo never deceived people.

Therefore, looking at Wang Shuo's solemn expression at this moment, O'Neill knew......

Wang Shuo said that the extremely important game......

It must have been the Christmas battle that was locked in by the fans early in the morning.

Yes, David Stern, who has always understood traffic and marketing, is the New York Knicks who arranged the Christmas battle for the Lakers this year.

No matter how infinite the Lakers' scenery is at the moment.

Regardless of whether the Lakers now have the strength to compete for a championship in people's eyes.

I'm sorry I didn't touch the Knicks before......

In the eyes of the world, the number one favorite to win the championship in the 09/10 season is still the Knicks.

The Knicks, who have played less and less this season after eliminating the influence of the dynasty.

On the evening of the 7th, the finishing score between the Lakers and the Cavaliers was finally fixed at 132-114.

In the game, Bryant shot 12-of-19, including 2-of-5 three-pointers and 9-of-11 free throws, totaling 35 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

Curry, who came off the bench, made four three-pointers and finished with a total of 21 points, four rebounds, and three assists.

In addition, Jr. also had 7 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists.

Then, on the 9th, the Lakers defeated the Pistons in Detroit.

After defeating the Bulls back-to-back on the 10th, they ended the team's Eastern road trip with a five-game winning streak.

On the 13th, after two days of rest, the Lakers returned to the Staples Center to face the Thunder.

In the new season, the Thunder, which has Ibaka, UAE, Durant, Harden, and Rose, has begun to show their talent.

Under Rose's leadership, the Thunder are currently third in the West.

Compared to the first two years of his career, the UAE's stats this season have slipped to an average of 13.5 points plus 7.0 rebounds per game.

The decline in the UAE's numbers has little to do with him.

Mainly with the end of Durant's first phase of cultivation, the "Rose of the Russian City", which was at the peak of his career at the beginning of his career, began to bloom......

Coupled with the character of the United Arab Emirates, he is also the kind of player who is willing to make sacrifices for the sake of the team's results.

Therefore, with Ibaka and Harden still needing to level up, the UAE's tactical position in the Thunder is bound to decline.

But in a sense, the statistics played by the UAE this season are far more valuable than the statistics he played against the Nets in the same period in history in Wang Shuo's memory.

In the NBA, there is indeed a saying that it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Can......

Playing on a weak team, even if the stats are good, what does it prove?

In this life, without choosing Fagan as his agent, except for the fact that the city of Oklahoma is a little small, the UAE is very satisfied with his current situation.

On the one hand, with the Thunder, under Presti, who knows him very well, he can constantly polish and perfect his skills.

On the one hand, with Harden joining the team, the Thunder's locker room is obviously lively in the new season.

As a famous living treasure in the NBA, under the adjustment of Harden, even the self-contained Rose has been a lot more cheerful this season.

Compared with Xiao Yao, who is honest and honest on the surface, but is actually black-bellied......

The overly shy UAE has also become a beneficiary of Harden's arrival.

Look, what is the gold content of the cornerstone of team building?

Wang Shuo's previous life, DeRozan's ability to come out of depression in the future is related to Harden.

DeRozan and Harden, who grew up wearing a pair of pants, agreed with each other as early as when they were 12 years old that they must go to the NBA to make a lot of money in the future.

Later, it turned out that ......

The two brothers not only fulfilled their promise to each other back then.

And in the future, after learning that DeRozan suffered from depression due to a series of off-court reasons, Harden would often comfort DeRozan on the phone and in private.

And then......

There is no then.

Because for Harden, how can there be a knot in this world that he can't untie?

"How do I feel that James is more of a leader than Derrick and Kevin?"

Before the start of this game, looking at Harden, who ran to the Lakers bench to talk happily with DeRozan and Curry, and returned to the Thunder bench to adjust the atmosphere for his teammates, Mike Malone asked with a puzzled look.

Hearing this, Wang Shuo smiled and said, "He is indeed more like the leader of this thunder team. ”

On the court, after the warm-up, the two teams were revealed.

Thunder: Ibaka, Yi Jianlian, Durant, Sephorosa, Rose.

Lakers: Jr. Plus, Odom, Gallinari, Kobe, Ellis.

Although people at this moment are not aware of the gold content of this Lakers and Thunder game......

But in this game, there are as many as five regular season MVPs in Wang Shuo's memory.

If you count O'Neal, who is still not on the game list tonight, then in this game, the two sides of the battle have three regular season MVPs each.

It has to be said that Presti's team-building ability is indeed comparable to that of a traverser.

The only fly in the ointment is that despite the fact that this Thunder head coach Scott Brooks is good at motivating young players off the court......

But his tactical theory and on-the-spot adaptability are not top-notch.

Especially once the CPU overheats during the game, Brooks will often do things that pull the blood pressure of Thunder fans.

In the center of the court, after the jump ball, the Thunder attacked first.

At this time, Ibaka has not yet obtained Spanish citizenship, and he is not a teammate of the national team.

But he has been playing in the Spanish league for many years, and he knows Xiaojia well.

On the field, after Rose dribbled past half court, Ibaka quickly pulled up to the top.

Ibaka has had a fairly consistent mid-range and long-range two-point shooting rate throughout his career, and Wang Shuo remembers that his career mid-range and long-range two-point shooting percentages were 47.7% and 45.9%, respectively.

In addition, Ibaka has a career three-point shooting rate of nearly 36%.

On the court, because the Thunder's No. 4 and No. 5 positions have the ability to evacuate, and the Lakers have to send someone to guard Durant......

In the first round of the game, Rose showed the Staples Center fans just how gorgeous this blooming "Rose of the City" really was.

On the periphery, after passing Ellis in one step, Rose went straight to the Lakers basket and hit a two-handed dunk!

On the sidelines, Wang Shuo, who saw this scene, couldn't help but turn his head and sighed at Malone and others: "Before the start of the regular season, you are all concerned about whether we can defeat the Mavericks, Clippers, Nuggets and other Western giants in the new season.

But in fact......

This thunder is our future rival! ”
