NBA peak

Chapter 668

Suspended for 5 games, according to the Lakers' upcoming schedule, Ge Feng will have at least half a month before he can participate in the Lakers' games.

Therefore, during the suspension period, Ge Feng simply stayed at home to take care of his little baby.

In addition, Ge Feng is paying attention to the latest developments of the Lakers every day.

The absence of Ge Feng and Davis is a very severe test for the Lakers' role players.

In other words, if the players the Lakers want to take advantage of the opportunity to make good use of these five games, they are still very hopeful to be seen by the fans and get a chance to counterattack.

After Ge Feng was suspended, the first game the Lakers faced was the home game against the Charlotte Hornets.

The Hornets are actually a very unremarkable team.

Fans know very little about the Hornets, and the Hornets as a whole are relatively low-key.

The news that the Hornets can attract attention every year is basically created by the boss Michael Jordan.

As for the news that the Hornets can start in the NBA, it is nothing more than a teasing comparison. Mr. Joe's great and invincible player resume, and the management that has repeatedly hit the wall and chooses whoever fails.

The Hornets, who are still active in the NBA, were previously called the Bobcats by fans.

In fact, the old Hornets have now changed their name to the Pelicans.

To sum it up, after the New Orleans Hornets changed their name to the New Orleans Pelicans, the Charlotte Bobcats took a fancy to the name of the New Orleans Hornets, so they changed the Bobcats to the Charlotte Hornets.

To say that the most famous star that the Charlotte Hornets have cultivated in recent years must be Kemba Walker.

However, with Walker going to the Celtics, the Hornets have fallen into reconstruction.

The Hornets currently have no big-name players, and the team's strongest should be Graham, followed by Rozier.

格雷厄姆场均18.2分7.5助攻3.4篮板；罗齐尔场均18分4.4篮板4.1助攻，这两位是黄蜂最重要的得分手，但没有一个，是20分以上级别的球员。

Moreover, neither of these two players is good at scoring.

Their scoring efficiency is not high, even lower than that of the Hornets.

But Mr. Joe couldn't help it. The Hornets couldn't attract the attention of big-name players, so they could only stand taller than the dwarfs.

As for the inside line of the Hornets, a fixed rotation lineup has not yet been determined.

In the game between the Lakers and the Hornets, despite the lack of two cores, they still take the initiative on the field.

When Davis was absent, Harrell took on the Lakers' offense very effectively.

At the end of the first quarter, Harrell turned the tide in the paint and scored 13 points. His performance was very brave.

But when the rotation time came, when Harrell left the field, the fans immediately discovered that McGee, who only knew how to eat cakes, and the older Gasol, could hardly make up for the vacancy of the Lakers' inside offense after Harrell left the field.

The Lakers' backcourt is pretty much the same.

Lacking Ge Feng to contain the defense on the outside, Bo Yang, who is accurate in three-pointers, has almost no use for him.

Kobe simply adjusted Bo Yang as a substitute, and let Pope and Kuzma, who are more powerful in immediate combat, serve as the starters.

Both Pope and Kuzma performed very well after they came on the field. Their performances far exceeded the expectations of the fans.

However, looking into the details, the efficiency of these two people is definitely not as high as when Ge Feng was on the court.

If Ge Feng is the starter in this game, then the Hornets may have surrendered in the third quarter, and there is no need to play until the last moment.

However, there is no danger, the Lakers who lack Ge Feng and Davis can still win, which makes Lakers fans feel relieved.

Although the Hornets are a team that can't even make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, no matter what, the Hornets are also an NBA-level team.

There is indeed a gap between NBA teams, but it is not completely impossible to play.

The Clippers were also overturned by the Kings, who were last in the league.

Once the Suns second-year rookie Booker breaks out, he can directly surpass the peak scores of James and Durant in a single game.

All of these are bad things to say.

The NBA is beautiful because of the gathering of stars.

After the game, Schroeder and Harrell made rare appearances at the press conference.

施罗德本场比赛接过大权，全场27投12中，三分球9投4中，狂砍33分4助攻。

And Harrell, who started for the Lakers for the first time, Harrell contributed a double-double of 22 points and 12 rebounds, and his performance was very impressive.

This night is destined to belong to Schroeder and Harrell.

Two days later, the Lakers flew to the Indiana Pacers, temporarily ranked sixth in the East.

The Pacers are a test for the Lakers who lack Ge Feng and Davis.

Among the Pacers' starting five, guards Brogdon + Oladipo, forwards Sabonis + Aaron Holiday, and center Turner are all practical players who are easy to use and inexpensive.

In the last game, the Pacers encountered the Celtics reversal with a big lead in back-to-back away games.

The key factor for the Pacers' defeat was that the Pacers played too well.

In the last quarter of the game, the Pacers were beaten by their opponents to a 33-17 climax, directly reversing the game.

It can be seen from the match between the Pacers and the Celtics that the Pacers are in a very hot state.

They have come out of the shadow of losing George, and with Oladipo as the core, they have established a team with strong immediate combat capabilities.

The Lakers, who are short of major generals, are destined to be a difficult challenge to face such a Pacer.

Ge Feng did not travel with the team in this game, but Ge Feng is still watching the Lakers game through TV.

As soon as the match between the two teams came up, Oladipo scored three three-pointers, widening the point difference to 9 points.

Lakers fans clenched their fists nervously.

Not so much, right?

It's less than 3 minutes into the game, are the Lakers about to be defeated?
Ge Feng was also very worried at the moment, but he was suspended by the league, so he couldn't help at all.

Fortunately, Harrell and Schroeder continued their bravery in the last game. When they settled down, they played steadily and continued to score a little bit, and never allowed the Pacers to widen the point difference.

After three quarters, the Pacers were 81 to 74, leading the Lakers by 7 points.

In this game, the Pacers played against the Lakers from beginning to end.

The Lakers lack two cores, and the impact on the team is indeed huge.

In the stalemate, no one on the Lakers could stand up like Ge Feng and Davis and continue to score for the team.

From this alone, we can see how important a superstar is to a team.

Superstars may perform exactly the same as ordinary players throughout the game, but at critical moments, superstars never disappoint their fans. They can always stand up bravely, resist everything with their own strength, and help the team defeat their opponents.
