The strongest basket king

Chapter 80
The Lakers played away against the Warriors, and Xiang Chu returned to his home in San Francisco again.

"Eat more, I see that you are so fierce in every game, you need to supplement enough nutrition. I have consulted a regular nutritionist about these dishes, and they are suitable for athletes." Xiang Jianzhong said seriously.

Alexander was not at home, and Irene, who cooked a table, looked at her master and smiled. Xiang Jianzhong likes to speak in a serious manner. In fact, Xiang Chu is promising, and he is very embarrassing these days.

This year's University of San Francisco did not enter March Madness. Xiang Jianzhong and his wife usually have a lot of face in front of colleagues and friends, and they will try to watch Xiang Chu's games as much as possible.

I don't know which friend I asked, or Irene's cooking habits are different. Xiang Chu felt that the nutritious meals on the table were a bit exaggerated. He could only try carefully, and then choose the one that suits his taste.

The Lakers still have no problem with the Warriors. Outside Curry is injured and unable to play, and inside David Lee is injured and unable to play. The Warriors now use the No. 11 pick Klay Thompson as the core of their tactics.

The opponent's lineup can train players, and it is basically impossible to win the game.

In the first quarter, the Lakers took advantage of the inside and killed the Quartet, and then there was no surprise or danger.

The Warriors are all rookies, and the Lakers are not that good. In this game, Mike Brown rarely let the main force play to the end. The last few minutes made players who usually have no chance to play feel refreshed.

Gasol triple-double, Bynum 30+10, Xiang Chu 13+13, everyone is very happy, Xiang Chu also always thinks that this Lakers should let Gasol organize in a high position and use his long arms to directly pass the ball Pay the low position, simply and neatly.

On April 4, Kobe returned to lead the team away to challenge the Spurs.

Kobe hit 2+1 on the field, which seems to feel good.

But the Lakers soon fell into a predicament. They first focused on defending the inside line. They didn't expect Duncan to make an effort in the first quarter, which is rare, and directly hit double figures in a single quarter.

Duncan is no longer at his peak, but his short bursts are still unstoppable.

The key is that the Spurs are stronger on the outside. Duncan broke out inside, and Parker and Ginobili played comfortably outside. The Lakers' defense was completely messed up and turned into a sieve.

The Spurs started with Splitter on the inside, and the rotation lineup went directly to the outside line with one big and four small.

Although Kobe is back, the Lakers really can't win the outside line.

Besides, after the first ball, Kobe's hand feeling was not good, and it is normal to find the hand feel after a few games.

The key is that after Kobe came back, the two insiders who had killed the Quartet before were a little tangled.

Kobe Bryant's tactical distribution will definitely be different when he comes back. Everyone needs to adapt. The biggest problem for the Lakers is the perimeter defense. Even Kobe has difficulty maintaining a high-intensity defense for a long time.

While the Lakers play the Twin Towers, the perimeter defense is already a bit difficult to arrange.

It is impossible for the main substitutes to completely defend the three powerful insiders. This requires the team's defensive rotation to keep up, but the Lakers simply can't do it.

It's not just a single defense, the team's defense against the Lakers is not good enough. They have assisted defense to prevent the opponent from entering, but the opponent may not take the initiative to enter.

During this period of rotation, not only Xiang Chu was excellent, but Barnes also played very well.

But when they faced Ginobili, Gary Neal and other outsiders of the Spurs, it would be good to be even. If they want to win the Spurs, they must still suppress the opponent with the main force.

The game they won was to limit Parker, but the Lakers couldn't do it today.

They didn't fall behind much at halftime, but they collapsed in the third quarter. The Spurs with a GDP score of 20+ are too strong. The key is that they have many more assists than the Lakers.

The Lakers have too many singles, whether it is Kobe's ball or Bynum's low post.

If it goes well, it will indeed cause a lot of damage to the opponent. When it goes wrong, the team's offensive efficiency will be terribly low.

There is no problem with a weak team, but it is difficult for them to play against a strong team like the Spurs.

If everyone meets in the playoffs, the Lakers will definitely be blown up if there are no good changes.

The Lakers gave up resistance very early this time, it was too miserable, and at this time Mike Brown would not take the risk of fucking Kobe, the playoffs are coming soon.

The Spurs won the Lakers to consolidate the No. [-] position in the West, but the Lakers are in danger of falling to fifth again.

At this time of the regular season, it is also a bit depressing to fight for the top few places.

The point is, it won't be easy for the Lakers to return to home next.

What they are going to face is the Thunder, which has just dropped to the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference. There is no doubt that the Thunder will definitely fight hard in order to regain the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference.

Whether or not to fight for home court advantage is entangled, and it must still be fought.

Of course, you can't let a few strong points get hurt. If Kobe or someone else can't play, it really doesn't make much sense to be third or fifth in the Western Conference.

Anyway, no matter which position it is, they will face the tough players in the West in the second round.

The premise is that they can fight to the second round. If they hurt their strengths, it is not impossible for the team to make a round. Mike Brown will be a good scapegoat by then.

"We have to win the game, we are the best team in the West." Bryant said seriously.

It's not just a matter of ranking, if they lose to the Thunder this season, they will be swept away.

There are also various opinions outside. Kobe came back against the Spurs full of momentum. As a result, the team played even more eye-catchingly. The argument that the Lakers would be stronger without Kobe became popular again.

Kobe has seen the storm, so he won't be too concerned about the slander of those outside, but he is also proud, and it is difficult to accept the embarrassment of losing streak after his comeback.

The Thunder now have a neat lineup, and the team's young people are still looking forward to the top spot in the Western Conference.

They have experience playing against the Lakers. They defend inside and attack outside, which also happens to fit the characteristics of the Thunder itself.

It can be said that the Thunder's configuration happened to restrain the Lakers.

But things on the court are not very statistical, nor do they rely on analysis, but rely on players to fight with real knives and guns.

Staples Center, fans cheering Kobe loudly, he is the darling here.

The Lakers want to fight the Thunder hard, and the fans are very supportive and enthusiastic.

However, Thunder and the young people are not rookies anymore, they have already adapted to this kind of atmosphere.

Just at the beginning of the game, the Lakers did not play well in the three strong points, but Sessions and Artest's scoring did not make the main lineup more embarrassing.

The Thunder's defense is not particularly good, but it is definitely tough enough.

Bynum was blocked by Perkins again, and Bynum was humiliated by Perkins several times when he faced the Thunder. Xiang Chu was very strange.

This buddy Bynum also has weight and strength. Could it be that he can only play skills.

Besides, Perkins is not particularly good at blocking shots inside, and he has no advantage in height inside. It can only be said that Bynum is too unstable under high-intensity confrontation.

Practicing strength, practicing strength, Xiang Chu felt that Bynum was just not on the right path.
