The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 574 Anxious Situation

"Pat's signings this season have failed. Look at these guys, none of them have shown their due strength. I think if the Lakers can have good signings, they will definitely not be what they are now." The magician fired at Pat Riley in the commentary. They had nothing, and at that time, there were many stars who could have joined, but it was because of the arrogance of the Magician. He felt that the Lakers, as the purple and gold nobles, would not take the initiative to recruit, and those guys would come to the bowl. In the end, none of them came.Then at the end of the regular season, the magician took the blame and resigned, which was more accidental than inevitable.

Magician failed in his position as general manager for several years. The people he sent were not the kind of top superstars he thought, but they all played out. On the contrary, he thought that Ingram, Ball and others were top superstars.

The Lakers are giants, but if they stay out of the playoffs for a long time and cannot touch the threshold of the finals, then their giants will continue to fade. Isn’t the New York Knicks an example? In terms of influence, New York has blown Los Angeles, but why the Knicks can’t recruit stars all the year round? Isn’t it because of the team’s poor record?

The only criterion for judging a giant is strength. When the strength reaches the standard, everything you say is right. If you want to maintain this, you must continue to win.

The current Lakers are more competitive than the Lakers in the historical space, because these people in their lineup have a much higher hunger for victory than the Lakers in the historical space.If the two teams play a game, it will definitely be a complete victory here.

Kukoc played very well, but his defense still has a lot of criticism. The only point that the Lakers can not defend is O'Neal, because O'Neal can create unlimited lethality in the low post, which Kukoc does not have. He has strength, but he is not as magical as he was in the Bulls.

Relying on the joint performance of the five giants in the half, the Lakers insisted on tying the score. This was the most exciting game played with the Grizzlies coach this season. Kobe, Payton, O'Neal, and Malone all played well. The Grizzlies can only count on Xiao Tian and Duncan. The pair of twin stars scored 50 points and 13 assists in the half. All four of the Big Five performed well, and only one of them performed abnormally. That person's name was Glen Rice. It wasn't that Glen Rice played rubbish, but he rarely touched the ball. The ball was in the hands of the other four. Unless he faced absolute open space, he would never get the ball at all.

Glenn Rice thought so, and others didn't know, but after he didn't feel upset, the entire Lakers locker room was full of laughter, and O'Neal also became the existence of that trickster.

"Look, as long as we play casually, the Grizzlies are not our opponents. In the second half, as long as we prevent facial paralysis and the Heaven win is ours, we will create a new era for the Lakers. The record of winning against the Grizzlies can be terminated."

O'Neal raised his arms and shouted as if a deep V was giving a speech. Both Malone and Payton laughed, and Kobe wiped his head, but he was thinking about his coping strategy for the second half.Wu Sheng still caused enough offensive pressure on himself in the half court. Although he scored all the goals, he also consumed a lot of his physical strength. Wu Sheng is more difficult to deal with than when he was in the Adidas training camp in high school. All he wants is for his teammates to open up space for him and then play singles. What he wants is the sacrifice of others, not his own sacrifice.

Xiao Tian didn't feel tired. The Lakers played very resolutely in this half of the game, especially Kobe. He scored a lot of incredible goals, but it was impossible for him to continue to score such goals. "Steve, you continue to maintain your defensive strategy against Kobe in the second half. He will not be so accurate, and the Lakers will not allow him to be so accurate."

He is not allowed to go on like this.Wu Sheng understood the meaning of this sentence. He still defended Kobe in the second half of the game. After Kobe went crazy, he would not pass the ball, break through and accelerate, and then layup. But this time, Wu Sheng did not let Kobe pass. This kind of person is really a monster. Wu Sheng was not as famous as Kobe in high school, and he was worse than those people. The only thing he criticized was rubbish in his academic performance and his experience of being a gangster, which made those NCAA schools shy away. Facts have proved that he is a guy worth investing in. This guy really has unlimited possibilities.

Wu Sheng defended against Kobe, Zen Master did not adjust, he was used to letting the players solve it by themselves, and then the third quarter became Kobe’s personal blacksmithing performance, the entire GM Arena was full of iron strikes, relying on Kobe’s blacksmithing, the Grizzlies successfully overtook the score at the end of the third quarter.But the game wasn't over yet.

Kobe scored 10 of 4 in the third quarter and scored 15 points. The audience's score has reached 35 points. Compared with his shooting percentage in the first two quarters, the shooting percentage in the third quarter is really eye-catching.

Kobe was very tired and sat on the bench, and O'Neal didn't have a hippie smile. In this game, the Lakers kept falling behind, tying up, and then tying up. Such a cycle is really exhausting, physically and mentally.Is the Grizzlies too strong or the Lakers too weak? You must know that last summer, the Lakers were rated as a five-star team by ESPN, and the defending champions were rated only three and a half stars. In the summer, the Grizzlies ushered in Brand but sent away Vince Carter. Vince Carter really exploded in statistics in the Warriors this season. Basically, he booked the Most Improved Player award. Carter performed very well in the Grizzlies last year. Unexpectedly, after leaving the Grizzlies, his potential was completely stimulated Come out, where is the limit of this guy, no one knows.

In the fourth quarter, Kukoc and Harper came up. Harper was still playing soy sauce, attacking when he had the ball, and defending when he didn’t have the ball. He said he was defending, but he was actually watching from the sidelines. Think about it, because Harper’s current physical fitness is impossible to defend with all his strength.Although the defense can also get a lot of things, it is the offensive players who get the most attention in the NBA.

Harper's diarrhea gave the Grizzlies a chance as a substitute player. Ginobili chose to make a breakthrough against Harper. This guy's snake-shaped breakthrough has already taken shape, but the success rate depends on his face.Ginobili's current snake-like breakthrough speed is not at all, but he still has a successful breakthrough. From here, it can be seen that Harper is really messing around, he is not pretending, he is really messing around.

"Ron, can you defend." As Ron Harper's teammate, Kukoc felt that he should do something. At least in the current Lakers, his status is much higher than Ron Harper's. This guy is not comparable to himself in the Bulls or the Grizzlies.

Defensively, Ron Harper glanced at the Croatian, "You better mind yourself."

Ron Harper really didn’t want to give Kukoc a lot of beeps. What’s a system player to say? This guy doesn’t have the ball in his hand and he’s not even as good as a spot-up shooter. If he didn’t see eye to eye with Mayfair Jackson, he might be pardoned by Jerry Krause. Bulls owner Reinsdorf is not a philanthropist.So Kukoc actually accused himself, it was really funny, and he didn’t look at what he was, what right did he have to say about others, hey, this Croatian is a single-celled organism, what do I care about with him.

This small episode did not affect the overall situation. All the Lakers' starters came up in the 9 minutes of the fourth quarter, and the same was true for the Grizzlies. Brand looked at O'Neal and kept cheering himself up. O'Neal had already scored 40 points in this game, and Kobe's 35 points.

Xiao Tian came to the frontcourt. His current stats are 30 points and 16 assists. He is the one with the most assists in the game. Facing Payton, although he has a good singles chance, Duncan has a better chance in the paint. At the end, that rookie Brand couldn't help him at all.Malone thought well, but he ignored a man named Tim Duncan.

The Lakers attacked, and Brand couldn't shake O'Neal by himself. When O'Neal turned around and was about to dunk, a big white hand appeared on his basketball. Although O'Neal was more powerful than ordinary people, he still spent a lot of energy just fighting with Brand. With a bang, the ball was still blocked by Duncan. The rebound also fell at this time and fell into Kobe's hands. Just take the shot, the martial arts saint has already gone to seal the ball, but the ball was still thrown by Kobe, but O'Neal's expression is very ugly, but he knows that now is not the time for infighting, and the Lakers must win this game.

The score was still very tense. Facing Payton, Xiao Tian actually made a shot from the outside this time. Payton thought that Xiao Tian was going to break through, so he didn't go to close defense. , Duang, the ball knocked on the rim, Payton smiled, paralyzed, you pretend to be a party, and there will be a day when you can't make it. It's really good to see how I counterattack you.

However, Payton hadn't laughed yet. The ball rolled in slowly. Payton's smile froze immediately. With 33 points, Xiao Tian scored the fourth highest score in the game. Currently, the highest scorer is O'Neal with 40 points, followed by Kobe's 37 points, and Duncan's 36 points. To be sure, if Kobe has Curry's three-point sense, then he is really invincible. At least it is not a dream to surpass Jordan in shooting guards, but it is not realistic at all. Curry's three-pointer is an epoch-making product, just like the fame of many superstars. There is no shortcoming in the field, which is the biggest difference between him and James. Although James also has skills, his skills are not as fine as Jordan and Kobe.Of course, that is James in the historical space. As for what James has become in this space, it is really hard to say.
