Chapter 245 Goals, Lakers
"The Jazz's old age really showed a lot when they were fighting us! This strong contender for the supremacy of the Western Conference in the past 4 years will now leave everyone's sight!" The team's ups and downs on the inside showed that Malone could no longer limit O'Neal's offense like before!Someone exclaimed!
"There will be such a day in a person's life sooner or later! Malone has at least stayed at the peak! What about other players? Such words are disrespectful to him! You know, such a player will not want any Poor people! There is no reason, players of this level are already the pinnacle representatives in the league! Without them to set off Jordan's greatness, how can Jordan be great?"

"Coach! You are suspected of boasting yourself! You must know that we stepped on Jordan!"

"Really? Oh! Are we the beginning of another legend! Haha!"

"~~"

O'Neal in this game was as brave as taking medicine!Maybe I heard some rumors!Maybe it means that Malone is still his nemesis!In short, O'Neill is upset!This game is going to show off its power!

As for the extremely troublesome pick-and-roll tactics of the Lakers in the past!The Lakers don't care about it anymore!The Lakers' striker has made up for it very well, and even surpassed the damage this tactic has done to the Lakers!
The pick-and-roll is always a means, and the old players have changed the established facts!
The league also took great pains against the Lakers in this game!The first game of the Lakers' regular season is an away game against the old goblin-level Jazz!Want to make the Lakers play worse?hehe!But in the end it was a miscalculation!Old guys like Barkley and O'Neal are very concerned about old guys like the Jazz!The first official game was just a gift from Thomas to the Jazz!

At the end of halftime, the Lakers had already led by 15 points!

At the end of the game, Thomas no longer cared about the aging Jazz team!As long as the Jazz are the Lakers' playoff opponent, sweeping the promotion will be the final result!

On November 11, the Lakers, who defeated the Vancouver Grizzlies back to back, came to the home court of the Trail Blazers to challenge the Trail Blazers to strengthen themselves this season!

In the original history, the Blazers were the biggest opponent of the Lakers in the playoffs. The Blazers' personnel are really terrifying. Even compared with the current Lakers, the substitutes are not as good as the Blazers' 10+ team!

You know, Jermaine O'Neal, who was not replaced, played only 5 minutes in this game. This is a super new star! A rookie in 96!Kobe is the best role model, so Jermaine O'Neal has no idea of ​​comparing with him?And he is still a relatively rare inside offensive player in the league. Tell me, which other team in the league dares to do this?
If Thomas saw such a scene, he would definitely remember it!

Fortunately, there are only 5 players on the field!The strength of the Lakers is also a little stronger than that of the Trail Blazers, otherwise this game will be suspended!

Of course, that's how the Lakers are hanging now!Coach Dunleavy, this game really played a trick!Played the momentum of the finals from the beginning, and the Blazers responded with 100% strength at the beginning!Pippen really went for Carter and Hill, and the Blazers went to pinch O'Neal from the beginning!

What troubled Thomas the most was that O'Neal's excitement in this game was not high, and he didn't have any outstanding performance in the game!The last Thomas is helpless!I had no choice but to step into the trap prepared by the Blazers for the Lakers, and compare defense with the Blazers!Fight individual attacks!
Last season, the Lakers were able to beat the Blazers relatively easily because the Blazers' front line had many problems, and there was no way to give the Lakers too much damage inside!
The arrival of Pippen at least gave the Trail Blazers a new choice, whether it is offense or defense, and Pippen's fighting spirit for the Lakers has not diminished at all, the last Bulls season, Pippen's last championship, etc., Isn't it the best reason!
Although Pippen is a little older, isn't the same for the Lakers?Barkley, retired Kevin, and so on!The Lakers are already considered an old-age team!

Many people think that the first Lakers team was the strongest. Kobe's performance is not weaker than Carter's now, and O'Neal is more impactful. Hill will not say that in the championship that year, it can be said that one-third The credit goes to Hill!Now that he has just undergone adjustments, he is not as strong as that time!

In the end, there are Barkley and Kevin among the starting five!These two people are even more incomparable with before!

Of course, the Lakers' substitutes can make a move!However, what the Blazers are least afraid of is that the Lakers will do this!Because in the Trail Blazers team, 10 double figures per game are possible!

Fortunately, the Lakers are a collection of superstars. Carter is a player that the Trail Blazers can't really defend. Fisher's organization is also proceeding in an orderly manner!

That's how it usually is!However, an O'Neal downturn really has a fatal impact on the Lakers, especially in this game. O'Neal, who only scored 18+10 in the whole game, has no way to lead the team forward in the mud. You know, the Trail Blazers From the beginning of the game, O'Neal was not double-teamed, but he relied on 4 or 5 All-Star insiders to deal with it!

It seems that O'Neill is not used to this kind of practice. This is Thomas' official statement. In fact, the real idea is, how could Thomas be someone else?The Lakers' first defeat of the season!
For many teams, losing to the Trail Blazers is no big deal, but it depends on who the target is?
The Timberwolves have won three consecutive victories, the Mavericks have won three consecutive victories, and the Trail Blazers have won four consecutive victories... After this game, the Lakers, um, ranked 7th in the West!
You want to say it's no big deal, it's only a few games?Um!Glad you are so optimistic!Anyway, Thomas was not like this. After the game with the Trail Blazers, he didn't give O'Neal any face, and directly gave him a face. You know, this is the first time Thomas has treated O'Neal like this!

No more talking!O'Neill also knows that his condition is very bad!Not because of anything else, but O'Neal drank some wine in the famous Rose City after the back-to-back Los Angeles games!

For O'Neill, these wines are nothing more than that!O'Neill has changed a lot!Now he is immersed in the glory of the past!

……

There is no time to rest, already at the beginning, the Lakers, who have rested for two days, ushered in another game, a very important game, the game against the Mavericks!

There is no way for Thomas to predict this game!Because for my very respected teacher, after having so many good cards...!Thomas can only hope that the rookie's performance is a little less than satisfactory!

Also, Thomas needs to adjust the atmosphere of the team and give these old guys a good boost!
"We're already ranked seventh! Hmm! If we lose this game, hehe! We'll be strong contenders for the No. [-] lottery!" A very cold joke without any other ingredients, but Thomas smiled Say it!
All the players trembled when they heard it!Including O'Neal!
"Well! This season's Western Conference is a competition that you can't imagine! Our status, the honor we want... It's not as easy as the previous two seasons! We are the team that won two consecutive championships! We are all other teams in the league. The goal of the team! When you play against us, you will be very happy to win a game! This is especially true in the West. All teams that have championships will list us as the first goal! If the playoffs are your goal , I have nothing to say! If you want to win the championship, the Mavericks are the obstacle you have to cross!"

Everyone looked at Thomas in surprise when they heard this!Since when has a team like the Mavericks been a key target for the Lakers?
