Chapter 192: Torture Cannon Preaching, Deal Coming! (Kneel and beg for a subscription, a monthly pass!) )
On the 6th, the Lakers played the Nuggets away.
As the only outlier in the 03 golden generation of high-pick players who signed a five-year contract with his parent team when he renewed his contract, Anthony, who spent a sweet vacation with Wade in Miami in the summer, has already drifted to the matter of playing brother basketball with Wade in the future.
The Nuggets uniforms know it's only a matter of time before they lose Anthony right now.
But they didn't want to lose Anthony for nothing.
However, what is causing headaches for Nuggets management is......
Even if Anthony has a high trade value, other teams are reluctant to trade the Nuggets.
Because since even the Nuggets uniform team knows that Anthony will wear the Heat's jersey sooner or later and become the white moonlight in Wade's mind......
So how could any other team give away an equal amount of chips in exchange for Anthony at this juncture?
In Miami, Wade has publicly stated in an interview that in order to join forces with his good brother, it doesn't hurt if he waits for another year.
There is no doubt that Wade's attitude became the final straw that crushed the Nuggets' uniform team.
This night, looking at Anthony, whose mind was no longer in Denver, Wang Shuo knew......
As far as the current predicament of the Nuggets is concerned, Riley, the "god operator", is likely to make a move in the middle of the season, through an offer that can allow the Nuggets uniform team to stop losses in time, so that Miami can directly start the Big Three era.
In this game, because Anthony's mind was not on the game, and Kenyon Martin, the Nuggets' interior gate this season, was always plagued by injuries, so that the Nuggets only had the "bold and bold" Nene left......
Even if the Nuggets have the advantage of plateau home, it will be difficult to cause problems for the Lakers in the game.
On the court, Monta Ellis, who burst into a no-man's land, managed to steal the limelight from Kobe Bryant and Curry on this night.
In the game, Ellis, who stepped on Hot Wheels, was like Nezha, turning the Nuggets' interior line upside down.
In the end, with Ellis' 39 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists for the team, the Lakers easily defeated the Nuggets with a score of 134-101 on the road.
Next, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves, Jazz and Trail Blazers successively, and continued to lead the West with a winning record.
On the 14th, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles to face the Clippers, the little brother in the same city.
As the new captain after James' departure, the Clippers are currently ranked eighth in the West under the leadership of our guns.
So far, Paul is averaging 22.8 points and 9.4 assists per game for the Clippers.
With Paul in charge, the Clippers will be competitive in the West even if they lose James.
But compared with the "God of Point Guard" in Wang Shuo's memory, Paul's career in this life is obviously so unsatisfactory.
This Clippers don't have Jordan Jr. and no Griffin.
The only players who could match Paul in the game were Carman and Dunleavy Jr.
The good news for Paul is that this time, he can perfectly show his ability to lead the team with the Clippers.
As for the bad news......
It was when he dropped the chain that he was missing Griffin and Jordan Jr., two teammates who could help carry the blame.
In this game against the Clippers, Curry once again became the protagonist.
On the court, in the first quarter of the game, Curry first stunned me with a Buddha point in the process of advancing with a dribble.
Then in the second quarter, he shook Paul down with a lateral backdribble near the left baseline.
Curry's two famous scenes on the court not only caused screams in the Staples Center, but also invisibly created the stereotype that Paul was beaten helpless in front of Curry.
However, fans who say it in this life may not believe it.
In fact, in Wang Shuo's previous life, if you count the record of fighting with Curry in the early part of his career, I can still do five or five with Curry on personal excel.
It's a pity that in this life, Curry and Paul's teammates are not at the same level.
And under Wang Shuo's careful guidance, Curry's current growth progress is also significantly far beyond the same period in history.
Wang Shuo knows very well that when Curry is in good shape, Paul's defensive black technology has no way to take Curry.
Because in the NBA, those swingmen who are more athletic than our guns can only watch Curry complete the instant sniping in front of him......
What's more, it's my cannon with a height of only "183" cm?
Against Curry, Paul's only way to get back face is his rhythmic pull-out.
Because Paul's center of gravity is too low, in the future, even if the Warriors use Klay to play against Paul, it will be difficult to limit the death cannon in an absolute sense.
But what Klay Thompson, the son of Michael Thompson, can't do, doesn't mean that Kobe, another of my Lake celebrities who have lost weight at the moment, can't do it.
As a player who is very good at defending the opponent's outside attackers in the game, Kobe Bryant knows that Paul's "pseudo-hard solution" needs to be activated by rhythm.
Therefore, in this game, Kobe, who personally guarded Paul, decisively used his iron elbow to disrupt Paul's rhythm of the game.
On the court, in the face of Kobe's snake entanglement, my cannon, who has always been witty, did not choose to face it head-on.
For head-on confrontation was not Paul's forte.
After all, limited by height, even if it was the golden flash of Phoenix back then, when it was time to dodge and fight, he had to dodge and fight.
But this Lakers team has Kobe Bryant on the outside......
Inside......
They also have a double plus combination!
Before playing the Thunder, Durant fully felt how terrible the Lakers' interior line was.
And this ......
It was Paul's turn to go to jail.
Because in the game, Carman, who was responsible for blocking and dismantling Paul, was slower than Xiaojia......
As a result, Jr. can often use his defensive picks to get stuck in Paul's next path after a slow delay.
As a result, Paul was disgusted.
Because even if he can desperately break through Kobe's snake entanglement and break into the hinterland of the Lakers defense, there is no way to add many of his feints.
The biggest feature of Xiaojia's Iberian wall when defending is that it doesn't shake.
Or rather......
Because he knows that he doesn't jump very high, Xiaojia will mainly open his hands and use tonnage to limit the opponent's score when defending.
On the court, with Jr. being able to defend most of the time, Garnett admitted that he did have a good time in this game.
Because in the first half alone, Garnett sent five blocks for the Lakers.
And in these 5 covers, there are 3 of them......
The hats are all my guns.
CCTV, senior cannon Hei Yang Yi said when commenting on the game: "The performance of Curry and Paul in this game can be described as a high judgment.
Through the counterpoint performance of the two, it is not difficult to see that Curry's level at the moment is obviously several notches higher than Paul's. ”
Yang Jian, who was commentating with Yang Yi, smiled: "As Wang Shuo said before, traditional point guards have become a thing of the past in modern basketball. ”
Yang Yi continued after a pause: "Traditional point guard, then you have to organize the team's offense on the court first, but in this game, what role does Paul have in addition to slowing down the team's offensive tempo?" ”
There is one thing to say.
Although Wang Shuo couldn't hear Yang Yi's explanation, he didn't know why he hated Paul so much.
But in Wang Shuo's view, his argument that Paul will only slow down the team's offensive tempo on the court is purely embarrassing.
Because of a team with Carman......
How can they get up and running quickly?
Wang Shuo knows very well that Paul has always been a player with a strong ability to read the game.
Otherwise, how could he have galloped in the NBA for many years with a "183" centimeter taller than he remembers?
For example, the Clippers in Wang Shuo's memory, under the condition that Paul does not drop the chain, who dares to say that the Clippers' game is not good-looking?
In Wang Shuo's view, in this game, Paul's "clumsy" performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was mainly due to the excessive strength gap between the Lakers and the Clippers at the moment.
attack, Paul has to face Kobe.
Defense, the hot Curry will not reason with Paul.
In addition, Wang Shuo, who is the head of the artillery, also made various tactical targets against our artillery......
How do you think Paul can fight the way out of the encirclement of this "million-dollar king" that can make Clippers fans see a glimmer of light?
In fact, the best way to understand Paul in this game is Garnett, who scored a total of 14 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 blocks and 4 steals for the Lakers in the game.
Because even Garnett knew that his age at the moment did not allow him to touch Duncan in the future.
But Garnett didn't know......
The relationship between him and Duncan was opened when Duncan played for the Knicks?
In the game, helping his own star to comprehensively suppress the star opposite him on Excel can be described as Wang Shuo's specialty.
In Garnett's view, there is only one way for Paul's unfortunate boy to turn his current reputation around.
That is:
If you can't beat it, join in!
As soon as the so-called king thought of it, the sky and the earth were wide in an instant.
Stop it, cannon, it's all Curry outside!
In the end, the score of this Los Angeles derby was 141-90.
The good news is that as the NBA's "tragedy professional", the fiasco suffered by the Clippers at the Staples Center led by my cannon is likely to not even rank among the top ten tragedies of his career in the future.
The bad news is that after this night, Paul is no longer eligible to fight Curry in the eyes of the world.
After the game, in an interview, although he had been in the rain before, Garnett, who didn't mind lifting the umbrella for Paul at the moment, said bluntly: "Chris is definitely a good point guard.
I think a lot of the criticism and accusations people have made about him are unfair.
Because facing Stephen Curry, who will become a historic point guard in the future......
His performance on this night was already remarkable. ”
TNT TV, when reviewing the Los Angeles derby, the three commentators of the "Wang Shuo Department" also closed their coffins and concluded: "I don't understand why people always like to compare Chris to Stephen."
In my opinion, the gap between them is like gold and stone, and there is no comparison. ”
"Stephen is already a championship player at the moment, and in the future, he will be challenging seniors like Elvin Johnson.
And not a player like Chris Paul, who even calls him a star defender with moisture. ”
"Stephen has proven with his performances this season that he is the best point guard in the league today.
Perhaps, he is not the traditional point guard that people understand and imagine, but I think there is no one who doesn't like to see him score points on the court. ”
In Los Angeles, commentators, fans and even referees can be said to be Wang Shuo's own people.
If you don't understand, just ask......
What can I do to fight Curry?
In the first month of the new season, Curry, who can always blow up the opponent's core guard in the matchup, has undoubtedly become the brightest star in the NBA.
For the entire month of November, the Lakers only lost 111-119 on the road to the Pacers on the 27th.
In that game, Kobe, who saw that Curry and Ellis were not in good shape, wanted to press the switch of "God descends to earth" to save the world, but unfortunately, Kobe Bryant finally pressed the switch called "Milan's little blacksmith".
The Lakers turned into blacksmiths together on the outside, but it was Garnett and Xiao Jia who teamed up to make Xiao Si extremely embarrassed in the game.
These two brothers, one is responsible for digging the pit and the other is responsible for burying it.
If it weren't for the Granger and Paul George striker duo who were so powerful in the game, Smalls would have been buried alive by Jr. and Garnett.
It turns out that no matter how strong a star is, he also needs teammates.
With Granger not coming out early due to injury, the Pacers' forward line is definitely at the "T0" level in the new season.
The only fly in the ointment is that with the rise of age, the fuel supply of Davis's muscle supercar is about to run out.
However, the unexpected loss on the road could not hide Curry's excellent performance in November.
On December 1, the NBA officially announced the list of winners of the major awards in the first month of the new season.
The Western Conference's Player of the Month went to Curry.
Throughout November, in 15 games for the Lakers, Curry averaged 27.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.
He shot 48.4 percent from the field, 45.8 percent from three-point range and 91 percent from the free throw line.
In terms of offense alone, after his ability to make fouls was forcibly improved to 99, in Wang Shuo's eyes, the offensive ability of this "baby-faced killer" is infinitely close to his first MVP season.
In addition, with Kobe's caring big brother from the side, Curry's many problems on the defensive end have also been covered up.
Wang Shuo knows that Curry still has a long way to go if he wants to not be a burden to the team in terms of defense.
Because of the defense of this thing......
It's not something that can be done overnight.
In particular, Curry's own model still has certain flaws.
Compared to those who can use models to compensate for their lack of defensive experience in the early stages of his career, Curry is destined to spend more time than others to find a path that works best for him.
Also, November's Eastern Conference Player of the Month went to Tim Duncan.
In November, in all 15 games for the Knicks, Duncan averaged 21.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.
Under Duncan's leadership, the Knicks currently sit first in the East with a 14-3 record.
Xiao Yao's "season reimbursement" made "Youngster" Duncan have to contribute more to the team on the court to ensure that the Knicks can maintain their former dominance.
But Duncan, who was already forced to turn on the "quasi-all-out mode" in November, also laid a certain hidden danger for the Knicks' next regular season journey.
As for the Eastern and Western Rookie of the Month in the first month of the new season, it was won by the Bulls' Wall and the Jazz's Bledsoe respectively.
The former, as the hope of the Bulls' rise, has averaged 16.8 points plus 8.4 assists per game so far.
The latter, as the biggest beneficiary of Delon after leaving, is averaging 15.1 points plus 5.0 assists per game for the Jazz.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, in the early stage of his "blood cloth" career, he had to show Paul a water dispenser for three years.
However, due to the changes in the trajectory of history, "Blood Cloth" also cashed in on his talent in advance with more resources.
And in early December, when people were talking about the performance of the Lakers and Curry in the new season, that unsurprising trade happened.
With the Heat agreeing to send Samuel Dylem Porter, Mike Miller, Mario Chalmers, Joel Anthony, as well as the team's two future first-round picks and two second-round picks, the Nuggets will send Carmelo Anthony, one of the "03 Double Kings", to Miami according to the trade agreement between the two parties.
In this deal, the Nuggets lost more than Wang Shuo remembered.
Because historically, the Nuggets also traded back Gallinari and Chandler from the Knicks through Anthony......
But what, this time and that time?
The Nuggets don't want to be in vain, so they can only be extremely passive and let the Heat slaughter.
The only valuable chips the Nuggets could get through Anthony in this deal were the four draft picks the Heat gave them.
And, with Anthony being traded......
Billups, a veteran who saw no hope, also immediately applied to Nuggets management for an amnesty in the hope that he would be pardoned.
The Nuggets uniforms knew that Billups couldn't continue to rebuild with the team, so they didn't embarrass Billups on the matter, and on the day they made a deal with the Heat, they pardoned him with their "Alan Houston clause."
Under the NBA's deal, Billups has 48 hours to negotiate with a new NBA team.
After Billups was pardoned, Wang Shuo, who saw the news, did not have the idea of beating the "best point guard at the starting point".
But Wang Shuo didn't want to cut veteran Price.
No way......
Don't look at Price, who usually plays soy sauce in this Lakers, but his professionalism can indeed play a role in supervising the young players in the Lakers team in a sense.
You know, usually in the team, even Garnett and Kobe Bryant praise his professional attitude.
In addition, considering that even if he signed Billups, he could only play soy sauce in this Lakers, so Wang Shuo did not choose to destroy the Lakers' current good locker room atmosphere in the end.
Wang Shuo, who is in charge of many Galaxy Battleships, knows very well that a team that wants everything will not have a good result.
And, for Billups, who still has a certain amount of fuel in the tank at the moment......
Under the premise that Kobe, Curry, Ellis and Thorton can steadily divide the Lakers' playing time at the two positions of shooting guard and point guard......
It will not be easy for Wang Shuo to convince him to carry bags for Curry and Ellis.
In December, after being pardoned by the Nuggets, Billups finally chose to follow in Anthony's footsteps and join the Heat together.
And with the addition of Billups and Anthony......
The Heat, who originally only wanted to keep a playoff spot in the East, also entered the ranks of the Eastern Universe team.
The Heat, who started with Gortat, Bosh, Anthony, Wade, Billups, and Haslem and Ginobili off the bench, no matter what Wang Shuo thinks...... It's stronger than the Heat he remembers.
Because originally, the Heat team in Wang Shuo's memory had obvious weaknesses in the two positions of interior and point guard.
In addition, due to the general compatibility, James and Wade often play the effect of "1+1 less than 2" on the court.
Can ...... now
In Anthony's life, he did not choose to gain weight, but on the premise of going farther and farther on the road of dry melon pulling......
Not to mention that in the game, the Heat, which is composed of "one pull and one burst", can be perfectly compatible in style.
Inside, Gortat and Bosh can also use their characteristics to complement the Guave brothers.
Plus the old and stalwart Billups at the helm, Haslem to stabilize the locker room, and Ginobili to complete the bench blasting......
On this day, look at the new Eastern "F4" composed of the Knicks, Celtics, Pacers, and Heat......
Wang Shuo couldn't help but feel a little happy for the Western Region where the Lakers were at the moment.
Undoubtedly.
In such an East, no matter which team can finally make it out, they are destined to have a hard time guaranteeing that they can face the Lakers at full blood.
Therefore, unlike the group of general managers and head coaches in the East who have begun to collectively criticize Riley for robbing the Nuggets......
After the time came to December, at this moment, instead of denouncing Riley's robbery, Wang Shuo just wanted to say one thing to Riley:
Thank you, Pat!
