Forward to the basket

There is no doubt that Staples Center is the territory of the Lakers. How many teams have stumbled here, especially in the years when they won three consecutive championships. No matter who is looking for trouble, the end is the same .

The Spurs, Kings, Trail Blazers, any team that can make it out in the West have all stumbled here.

It's just that the current situation of the Lakers is far less brilliant than a few years ago. Just like the Celtics began to sink into the bottom after the glorious 80s, the current Lakers are also hovering in the low tide.

After the Lakers' luxury f4 was defeated by a group of blue-collar repairmen from the Pistons, their three-peat championship dynasty completely fell apart. Malone retired, and Payton followed O'Neal to Miami in the east.

Only Kobe Bryant stayed alone in the Staples Arena. Although he still scored like a nuisance, the Lakers' glory is no longer. In the West, they can barely squeeze into the top eight.

Even in the 04-05 season, they didn't even qualify for the playoffs. This was definitely a very heavy blow to the always proud Los Angeles people.

But a heavier blow is yet to come. In the first round of last year's playoffs, the Lakers met Nash, who was in the limelight. That guy led the Suns to complete a super reversal after falling behind 1:3.

The Lakers, who had thought they would make it to the second round, just fell in front of their own home, and they still lost three games in a row. They didn't even get a chance to struggle.

As the head of the star, Kobe was even criticized by many people. It was he who overbearingly drove away O'Neal, and now the team has not shown strong competitiveness in his hands, but has been going downhill.

For this kind of accusation, no one can stand up for Kobe to block it. There is no way, which makes him the boss of the team. This is the same responsibility that Pierce is responsible for the fall of the Celtics.

What's more, when O'Neal left, there was news that Kobe drove the Sharks away. He wanted the Lakers to become his own team. After the Eagle County incident, it is estimated that no one would stand on Kobe's side to speak for him.

Even Pierce, an old opponent who has been fighting against Kobe for many years, once said privately, "When you become a topic, no matter what you do, it is wrong, and it will be infinitely magnified."

The discussion about Kobe is probably not going to stop. As long as he is still in this league, there will always be criticisms. Some people will say that everything he does is copying the experience of Joe's gang leader.

From the breakthrough layup with his tongue sticking out, to the iconic fadeaway jumper, including his desire for survival, he is learning from the once glorious predecessor, trying to copy it, and then surpass it.

In fact, all of this is understandable. Originally, he was not the only one who paid tribute to his predecessors. James picked a No. 23 jersey when he came up. Isn't he also trying to match the leader of Joe?

Compared with these imitations of Kobe, James' approach may be more direct. When he even talked about his jersey to reporters, he even said that the entire league should seal up the No. 23 jersey of each team.

This Nima is no longer a tribute, this is completely hugging the thigh, or the kind with no lower limit.

As for the expulsion of O'Neal, there is actually nothing to say. Who doesn't want to be the boss of the team?He wasn't the only one who pushed out his predecessor in the NBA, who didn't grow up by stepping on others?

Didn't Duncan, such a listless and honest man, also squeezed David Robinson from the position of boss?Although that was not what Duncan was willing to do, the admiral did become a helper of Duncan.

This is the law of nature. Even if you are a good player, there will be a day when you will go downhill. Even the leader Joe can't escape the ravages of time. Who else can defeat the bug-like killer of time?

So, I can’t blame anyone for this matter. One is the Sharks who are already in their 30s, and the other is a super scorer in the league who is in his golden age. Who do you think the Lakers management will choose?

And just considering the market, O'Neal's value is not much left. Even if he can return to the East, he will only be the second-in-command behind Wade in the Heat, and he has long lost his fierce posture.

You can only say that the management of the Lakers is ruthless enough, but for O'Neal, he was originally traded from Orlando, and he is far less reliable than Kobe, who has played for the Lakers since his rookie season.

It's just that when O'Neal left, the relationship between Kobe and him had reached a freezing point, coupled with the constant media hype, anyway, someone will be taken out as a scapegoat for this departure.

It is estimated that Kobe can be criticized by so many people. In addition to driving O'Neal away, it is the mess he caused in Eagle County, but according to Pierce and the others, it is all over and no money is given.

(Let’s make a statement first, I’m not Komi, but there are a lot of Kobe black now, and the black ones are not good enough, I don’t have any special feelings for Kobe, I like AI, but sometimes, I always feel that a serious People who play basketball should be worthy of respect from others, instead of blindly discrediting everything about him. In addition, in order to prevent people from saying that I whitewashed Kobe, I have to say that I have never been a Comedy sincerity.)

Anyway, the current Lakers are in such a precarious situation. In the West, they are only in the eighth place. The pursuers behind are fierce, and the strong teams in front are very difficult to defeat.

Now it is such a position that can't be up or down, it seems a bit awkward, but there is still a little hope, you have to fight it out, the Lakers don't want to have another miserable experience of being far away from the playoffs.

Whether it is the fans or these guys in the current team, I'm afraid they can't bear that kind of shame.

No matter how brilliant the past of this team is, their situation now is similar to that of the Celtics. It is a stage of desperately climbing from the bottom of the valley, and both teams are trying to recover.

It's just that the Celtics' situation is slightly better than the opponent's. But playing at the Staples Arena, anything is possible. The Los Angeles native is full of pride in his bones, and he will not bow his head easily at the door of his house.

What's more, this time I ran into an old enemy, from the management to the players themselves, it is absolutely impossible to hand in their guns and surrender.

Even Rivers said to the players around him the moment he stepped into the Staples Arena, "This place is like the North Shore Garden. It is by no means easy to conquer. Tonight, it will definitely be very difficult."

It's not that Rivers is scaremongering, but that he can feel the hostility of the Los Angeles people the moment he came out of the hotel. The kind of grievances that have lasted to this day will also make the guys in the Lakers extremely fierce.

This idea became reality the moment the Celtics stepped into the Staples Center. The boos and shouts pouring in from all directions covered up the noisy rhythm of music echoing in the venue.

"It's been like a day for several years. Every time I come here, I get this treatment." Compared with other people, Pierce may be more used to such a scene, because he has already experienced it many times.

"Since my first season in Boston, whenever there's a game at Staples Center, those L.A. guys just want to jump out and literally tear you apart."

"Don't look at the league's promotion of field discipline. Those things are only useful to us. For those fanatical fans, they are fearless. As long as they meet us, they will become even more manic."

Listening to the noisy voices around him, Pierce had to warn the little guys around him loudly. Although this was not their first match, this kind of atmosphere was really rare.

In fact, the Heat and the Knicks are also deadly rivals, but when they go to play away from each other, at most they hear some boos, or a few extreme fans will raise their middle fingers from them.

But the situation like now, probably never happened before, at least not so crazy, this is really helpless, the grievances between Boston and Los Angeles are too long, it is estimated that even God, the old man came back to the world Once it happens, it may not be possible to resolve this entanglement with his fraternity.

Anyway, the atmosphere around here has not changed, it can only become crazier, so here Pierce must tell the group of boys around him that if he wants to win the game here, he must not be soft-hearted.

This is also what Rivers wants to warn his gang of bandits. If you want to win the game at the door of your rival's house, you have to be more vicious besides pressing the damn boos back into the throats of those guys!

"Maybe you don't understand these old things between Boston and Los Angeles, but what I need to tell you is that the guys on the opposite side will not give us the victory easily. If you want to win, you just It could be to defeat the opponent head-on in the next four quarters, there is no other way!"

"The previous winning streak made you very proud. Maybe you didn't say anything, but I can feel that you already have the ambition to knock down all opponents. This is very good. Only ambitious people can improve, but I want to remind you , Before lifting the final trophy, your complacency will only leave opportunities for your opponents."

"I don't want to see you defeated, so, here, you must cheer up."

"The Lakers are our bitter rivals. I'm not used to being stepped on by those guys. Similarly, I don't think you want to hear the boos and abuse from here and get out of here."

"If you want to win, ignite your madness. Here, at Staples, tell those damn Los Angeles people that the current Celtics are far stronger and more vicious than their Lakers!"

Rivers needs this victory, not only to continue the previous winning streak, but also because of past history, the Celtics don't want to be held down by their old enemies, even if it is at the opponent's home court.

"Roar! Victory! Celtics!", the response to Rivers was not some rhetoric, but the roar of a dozen big guys, even in a noisy environment, this kind of roar can make people tremble .

"Damn it! Staples, the lord is coming!", before the lingering sound of the previous voice fell, the sound of the explosion behind had already covered up the fierce explosion before, and this one was obviously more sturdy.

In fact, there is no need to look at it. Everyone knows who is doing the crime. It's not because Rivers' words have aroused Chen Feng's respect for the past history.

Just because of the noisy environment and the existence of the opponent's top scorer in the league, it was enough to make Chen Feng's blood surge and boil, so he burst into such a wild roar.

Come!Let the men fight with you!See who can stomp whose head!

Boo!Come on more violently, preferably at the end of the 48 minutes of the game, you don't regret that you broke out such a sound on such a night, let a beast have been in a state of excitement before the game.

The night that belongs to Staples, I don't know who can bloom the most brilliant brilliance...

(Second update, uh, I will try my best this month, do you think it’s okay? Red tickets or something, give me more...)
