The strongest basket king

Chapter 39
In an interview after the game, Coe was very impatient: "The Bucks played tougher and more aggressive than us, so they won, that's it."

Next, the Lakers will face a terrifying schedule of eight games and seven visitors. The team's record is worrying.

This season, Zen Master retired, Odom was traded, and the attempt to introduce Paul was rejected by the league at the last minute. The team's internal management is also full of conflicts. A series of changes have caused the Lakers' combat effectiveness to decline instead of rising.

In addition, the intensive schedule of the shortened season is also one of the reasons for the problems with this classic Lakers car.

But this is not the reason why the Lakers can't even keep the top eight. The Lakers' current lineup, based on three strong points, should also be a proper top four in the Western Conference.

There is a problem with the lineup, and it is more about the running-in between the team and the new coach.

There is no need for Xiang Chu to worry about this aspect. Kobe has already planned to talk to Mike Brown in detail.

Xiang Chu was surprised that the heat value in the system suddenly soared, and it didn't stop after four thousand, all the way up to more than five thousand.

His performance in the past few games has not been outstanding. Although he beat the Bucks against the opponent's rookie, his overall performance was not good enough.

After inquiring about news from Jim Smith and fans on the Internet, he found out that he has gained more attention in Huaguo.

The previous long interview was made into a program, and his fluent Chinese was very popular.

After the show was broadcast, his fans over there spontaneously helped him to promote it in various forums, and even fought a few times with some disgusted fans. The aftermath has not yet calmed down, which caused the current situation.

Of course, no one knows that he has a system that needs popularity, but he has appeared in the topics of Huaguo fans, not only his fans, but also many NBA fans, which means that his attention has greatly increased.

Xiang Chu's mood has improved a lot, and he has to take good care of the Huaguo fans.

No, as an international sports star, he will not only fight for fans in the United States and China, but also fans all over the world. It's time for Jim Smith to plan some interactive activities.

Or the type that ignites the enthusiasm of fans without consuming much time.

If the game is lost, the away game will continue, back to back.

The next stop is Minnesota. Although it is east to west, the two cities are not too far away.

The overall state of the Lakers is not very good. Back-to-back away games are the most uncomfortable. A lot of time is wasted on the road, and it is difficult for the players to maintain a good state.

However, some players are full of strength as soon as they arrive on the court. This is talent.

The Timberwolves are a very young team, and their starters, except for Luke Ridnour, are still on rookie contracts.

Xiang Chu also has some expectations for this game. His stepping on the road is finally going to be the second place, although Derek Williams is not in the same position as him.

Although the Timberwolves are young, their configuration is not very bad. They have everything they should have, but their defense is relatively poor.

The opponent's starting guard Ricky Rubio and Ridnour are not aggressive, which may be good news for the Lakers.

The Timberwolves are also troublesome with a few troublesome substitutes, such as Michael Beasley. If he is allowed to open up, he can really explode.

And the twin towers formed by the opponent's core Kevin Love and second-year student Nikola Pekovic will also test the Lakers' inside line.

Two insiders who can defend alone without assistance may be good news for the Lakers, provided that the Lakers can restrain them, or at least suppress them.

It was Gasol who took the lead for the Lakers, and he and Love launched a mutual explosion mode.

In this case, although Kobe is adjusting his touch, the Lakers are still slightly ahead.

When the rotation period came, it was finally Xiang Chu's turn to show off his might.

The Timberwolves' bench is not bad, the inside bench is poor, the old Brad Miller, and Anthony Randolph, who is thinner than the Lightning.

Xiang Chu really felt the joy of dominating the inside line this time. The opponent couldn't win rebounds and he was not as tall and strong as him. He is also a little shark now.

The Timberwolves' rotation lineup mainly relied on the outside firepower of Martell Webster and Michael Beasley. The Lakers couldn't restrain it. If Xiang Chu didn't dominate the inside line, the score would definitely be overtaken by the opponent.

Xiang Chu rose up, and there was also a singles with the ball, turning around and hitting a small hook handsomely. The Timberwolves had to let Love come back early to preside over the overall situation.

Xiang Chu definitely can't beat Le Fu now, Le Fu's strength is still good, and his rebounding is also very good.

Xiang Chu and Love struggled with their sense of rebounding for a while, and then went to rest.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves made efforts inside, and the Lakers' twin towers were a bit overwhelming.

Gasol and Bynum, the champion twin towers, have a great reputation, but this season they often can't beat others. Fortunately, Kobe's touch is almost adjusted and he took over the offensive baton.

The Timberwolves' back line really can't handle Kobe, and often needs misplaced defenses.

The Lakers were in good shape in the first half. Although they couldn't handle Love and Pekovic, their three strong points scored more points than the opponent's two points.

Moreover, the inside line is not dominant, and it is more convenient to defend than the outside line.

Of course they dare not relax their vigilance. The current Lakers are not just saying that they can be stable.

Mike Brown talked about tactics, but he must still be firm in his heart about the coach's tricks and fuck the core players.

In the second half, the Lakers still couldn't get Love at all. The inside and outside players had an advantage in scoring, but the Timberwolves couldn't get Kobe either.

They still can't handle Xiang Chu, and Xiang Chu is still in the mood to provoke Derek Williams.

Derek Williams is aggrieved. In the NCAA, he is the favorite of heaven. He has the strength to play the [-]rd position and the skills to play the [-]th position. Now he is not fast enough to play the [-]rd position and not high enough to play the [-]th position.

At the beginning of the game, he also had the idea of ​​teaching Xiang Chu a lesson. In the first half, he went to Xiang Chu twice to fight hard, but Xiang Chu just raised his arms and he hit the iron.

Now that Xiang Chu is arrogant, he can only ignore it. The NBA is not the NCAA. If he is self-willed, the coach will let him sit on the bench.

The second place feels so weak, Xiang Chu is still a bit disgusted, but he has a small increase in strength and weight after entering the league. In terms of his height and wingspan, it is really difficult for ordinary players to beat him.

Seeing that the Lakers had already scored 10+, Rubio instigated a counterattack in the last minute of the third quarter. His good organization drove the team to score 7 points in a row and narrowed the gap to 5 points. Mike Brown was completely afraid to let Kobe rest.

That's fine, Xiang Chu enjoyed being on the court with Kobe at the same time, and with Kobe attracting the opponent's defensive attention, he had a better chance of stealing points.

Following the whistle of the referee, Xiang Chu smiled and stood on the free throw line. He made two free throws and made one. It felt a bit bad, but his scoring was already in double figures, and his double-doubles were stable.
