The strongest basket king

Chapter 41 Three Wins in a Row

The Lakers swelled, and in the second half they were held down by the Bobcats, and Kobe couldn't make a single shot.

However, Mike Brown didn't panic and replaced the substitutes one after another. Even if they were chasing points, the Bobcats didn't see any threat.

The Lakers' substitutes are still very strong this time, and they don't have many opportunities to eat dumplings.

Xiang Chu, who usually performs well, also works very hard to get good statistics.

With everyone on the bench, the Lakers shot up three-pointers from the outside.

The point difference has exceeded 20+ again, and the point difference has become 30+. They feel like they are shooting.

Good guy, the Bobcats are really good guys in the league, and their touch is coming.

Xiang Chu also played almost the entire fourth quarter, scoring 12 points and 12 rebounds.

Kemba Walker also only scored 12 points. Sure enough, the rookie is no longer his opponent.

The Lakers hit 12 three-pointers and moved Mike Brown. If the team had this touch every game, he would definitely win the championship before James.

He smiled after the game, "Tonight we played very aggressively, we protected rebounds very well, and executed tactics very well. I hope my players can remember today's game."

Kobe is also in a good mood, because his total score is about to surpass O'Neal. Of course, on the surface, he dismisses it, "I didn't think much about it, because it is inevitable."

The Lakers will play an away game soon, and Xiang Chu also cherishes the days of training in Los Angeles.

Xiang Chu asked Artest during the rest of the training, "How is it, is it comfortable to start or to be a substitute?"

Artest grinned, "For me, it is no longer the age to start, but after I became the starter, the team has won consecutive victories, and the record speaks for itself."

When the team fell out of the top eight before, Mike Brown finally couldn't stand the pressure and replaced Artest with the starter.

In this case, the Lakers' starting lineup will be the same as before he came.

A little bit confused, Mike Brown originally wanted to transform the Lakers better and bring his own mark.

However, Artest is more suitable for the starting lineup. Compared with Barnes, he can better block those powerful strikers, and Barnes can also play some offensive power with the substitute lineup.

Time came to February, and the Lakers went to challenge the Nuggets away.

The Nuggets are still in the last lineup, and they performed well against the Lakers before.

But this time the Lakers were a little different. Bynum showed his power from the beginning. Generally, as long as Bynum showed his power, the Lakers' games would be much easier. Kobe also rarely became an organizer.

The Lakers took the lead easily, but in the rotation period, the Nuggets caught up with the score again.

In fact, the Lakers' backup lineup, Xiang Chu's partner Goodlock, is doing pretty well, but the Nuggets' rotation lineup just hit the Lakers' weakness.

One is that they can't guard Al Harrington, and the other is that veteran Andre Miller always teaches young people to be human.

The efficiency of the two of them is higher than that of the Nuggets' main lineup. The Nuggets' insider Mozgov is just a fake starter, and Al Harrington is more on the court, and this kind of insider pulled out is not good for the Lakers.

Fortunately, the Lakers' suppression of the Nuggets' main lineup was not bad. Kobe was a bit strong, but Bynum and Gasol showed the demeanor of the twin towers, firmly suppressing the opponent's inside line.

This is the level they should show. If the opponent uses Al Harrington, they must accept the disadvantage on the defensive end. Nene's single defense cannot block the real strong point inside.

The two sides still play their own games, and the offensive end is relatively successful, the rotation period is more obvious, and Xiang Chu's performance is also good.

In the case of both playing their own characteristics, the Lakers still took a slight lead in the first half.

The Nuggets blossomed more in the third quarter, giving full play to their offensive characteristics.

But Kobe on the Lakers side recovered and continued to hold on to the small score advantage.

The Lakers' lineup, as long as Kobe and the Twin Towers play well, can suppress the average strong team. This is the real role of star players. The Lakers were too abnormal before.

Xiang Chu played this time against white center Costa Koufos.

Koufos has weight, but he relies more on his skills, and he is very cautious in his shots.

Xiang Chu likes this, and his defensive shortcomings will not be exposed in the confrontation.

As long as he is on the court, the Lakers have an obvious advantage in rebounding, and it is not so easy for the Nuggets to overtake the score.

In the last quarter, both sides didn't feel very good, but Kobe and Bynum still stabilized the situation.

Harrington's three-pointer once made Mike Brown's heart tighten. Fortunately, Kobe and Artest also hit three-pointers.

The last few minutes of the game were tense, and the Nuggets had a chance, but they didn't seize it.

They are still missing a final player, which is the difference between a playoff team and a championship team.

When the referee's whistle sounded, all the Lakers players felt relieved.

With three consecutive victories, they finally returned to the normal track.

Xiang Chu scored 10 points and 9 rebounds, which was the first time he scored more points than rebounds.

As a substitute player, his statistics are already very good. Xiang Chu is not complacent. He understands how lucky he is to enter the league and grow into what he is now, and he also knows his goal.

The league has just announced the All-Star starting list. Although the Lakers did not start well, Kobe Bryant still joined Bynum to become the starter in the Western Conference.

The first time he was selected as an All-Star and became the starter, Bynum was in a good mood.

"This is what I want. Becoming an All-Star player has always been my goal. It feels good to be selected. I can't wait to play the All-Star. Of course, I hope the Western Conference can win."

Xiang Chu was very envious of Bynum's happy appearance in the interview.

How much popularity will be increased by becoming an All-Star? He will subconsciously think of this now, and it will almost become instinctive.

But regardless of popularity, Xiang Chu also hopes to have the opportunity to enter the All-Star, but I don't know how long it will take.

When he squeezes Gasol or Bynum out of the starting lineup, he probably has a chance.

But this goal is really not easy. Bynum is very young, but Gasol is older.

Xiang Chu thought about it carefully, and felt that the future was a bit dark.

If Gasol is squeezed out of the starting lineup, he and Bynum will not be able to allocate positions.

Do you want to pray that you will get a good offensive skill next time you draw a magic skill, maybe he can also play in the fourth position.

However, the three templates he chose seem to be very traditional centers.

There is no way to train too systematically in the away game, and Xiang Chu consumed a little heat to follow the template training.

He feels like his offense has improved a bit, because he can make some good offensive moves occasionally in the game.

Maybe he can achieve good growth without relying on the system, Xiang Chu fell asleep with good expectations.
