Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 178 Hunger

The Jazz in the post-Shuangsha period still maintained their consistent tenacious style. The front line led by Matt Harpering and Andrei Kirilenko was very tough, plus the two rookies Alexander Pavlovich And Maurice Williams' excellent performance caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers.

Derek Fisher also contributed 13 points and 4 assists in the face of his former owner. The Jazz slowed down the pace of the game. Once hit an offensive climax and almost reversed the game. Finally, relying on Kobe's free throw and Artest's key three-pointer, the Lakers narrowly beat the Jazz by two points, 94 to 92.

The Knicks in the post-two-gun era are much easier to deal with.

Since coach Don Cheney, the entire Knicks team seems to have no plans to win the away game against the Lakers.Howard Eisley and Shandon Anderson seized every opportunity to score data and played crazy singles, while the Lakers took a double-digit lead and paddled on the court. Once the Knicks had the momentum to chase points, they would defend tightly. .

It's just that Mutombo and Kurt Thomas are suffering. They are not young, but they have to follow the two backcourts to run back and forth on the court, and they basically don't show much.

Anderson and Eisley scored 58 points together, but the Knicks played GG amidst laughter.

After a wave of 19 wins and 2 losses, the Lakers dominate the league. It seems that no one can stop them from attacking the championship again.

"The most important thing is to keep the hunger for victory. Why can Michael Jordan succeed? Because one championship ring is not enough for him. He wants more. He wants to get all the honors and never be satisfied. Nothing can stop him. Our team is the same. I don't need players who are lying on the credit book and counting honors. Those players only represent your past, not your future, so some of them start with MVP. A player who does not train and eats donuts on the sidelines, even if he has unparalleled talent, cannot escape the end of his life without a championship. Whether it is four consecutive championships or 15 championship banners, it is a thing of the past. All of us Whether they are old players who have played in the team for several years or newcomers who have just joined the team, there is only one consensus, and that is to win this year's championship." Talking about the recent good state of the team, Jim said Out of the secret to winning, while not forgetting a black Barkley.

"Of course, the chemistry of the team is amazing. The original players are making sacrifices in order to let the new players integrate into the team. We saw Kobe reduce the number of isolations, Kevin played in positions he was not familiar with, and Ronaldo En and Chauncey, they have unremarkable jobs on the defensive end, but they face each other's best offensive player every night. I'm not surprised that Karl and Dwyane found their status quickly. Karl is in the league. After playing for 18 years, his number of appearances may be about the same as that of the entire Grizzlies team. Although Phil's system is completely different from that of Coach Sloan, he knows how to play correctly and play to his strengths. As for Devi Well, he will continue to make you cheer." For the performance of the players, Jim also had praises in front of the media.

Facts have proved that words cannot be spoken too early.

The Mavericks, who have lost two games to the Lakers, are sitting in the American Airlines Center Arena and put on their classic white uniforms.

Mavericks general Michael Finley was sidelined due to injury, and rookie Josh Howard started on top, which solved the Mavericks’ problem of possession of the ball. Nash, who was injured by Malone’s elbow in the last match, was in a brave state. Scored 11 points to help the Mavericks play a wave of 33 to 19 in a single quarter. In the second quarter, Nowitzki stood up again and scored 6 points on 5 of 11 shots.

In the third quarter, Sh Howard scored 12 points. In the fourth quarter, it was Antoine Walker's turn, and Fat Toutuo scored 13 points alone.

Facing the team's explosive Mavericks, the Lakers have nothing to do. In addition, the team's three-pointers feel cold. The audience only made 17 of 3 shots, all of which came from Kobe. Other Lakers players can only rely on breakthroughs to score points. But this side managed to get two points, and the Mavericks scored a three-pointer over there, and the point difference could not be narrowed.

小牛队4人得分上20，诺维斯基和纳什更是各自砍下31分，122比107，库班终于出了一口恶气。科比空砍42分难救主。

"See? This is the true strength of the Mavericks. We need to adjust at the beginning of the season. Now that a month has passed, we will let everyone know how strong we are! The Lakers want to defend the championship? We have to pass our test first!" Finally elated for a while, Mark Cuban is looking forward to avenging the Lakers in the playoffs and bringing a championship trophy to the Mavericks.

Fortunately, the Lakers adjusted very quickly. If the three-pointers are not accurate, they simply don’t shoot. In the game against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Rose Garden Arena, the Lakers made 8 three-pointers and hit 3 goals, all thanks to accurate mid-range shots And countless air cuts dismembered the Blazers' defense. In front of Garnett and Malone, Stromile Swift looked like a primary school student who couldn't play. Sid Wallace was depressed.Roaring Tianzun threw 5 three-pointers alone, scored 29 points and 12 rebounds, but the teammates around him were really unstoppable.

The Lakers team shot more than 6%, and the efficiency was extremely high, 113 to 106, beating the Trail Blazers away.But in the second quarter of the game, Artest sprained his foot and withdrew midway through the game. Fortunately, after inspection, the injury was not serious and he only needed to rest for about a week.

The next opponent of the Lakers is the Denver Nuggets. This is good news for the Nuggets rookie Carmelo Anthony. Although Artest scored inconspicuously this season, he averaged 2.7 steals per game. He is full of aggressiveness. The defense is the nightmare of all forward scorers.Artest, who regards Dennis Rodman as an idol, even dyed his hair yellow to pay tribute to the big bug.

The Zen master sent Raja Bell to start at the small forward position, but Bell, who suffered from a comprehensive loss in height, weight and athletic ability, could not stop Anthony from scoring. Melon scored 13 points in a single quarter. As a last resort, the Zen master had to use Kobe. Defense Anthony.

Such adjustments paid off. Anthony's efficiency dropped significantly in the last three quarters, scoring only 11 points in total.

Although Anthony was passable on the scene, Marcus Camby and Skitishvili's inside line can be described as leaking from all sides.Camby took cap brushing as his own duty, and regarded the card position as dirt. Although the statistics were gorgeous, the actual effect was quite mediocre. After Wade, who was good at breaking through, came on the court, the Nuggets' defense completely collapsed.

Wade made 9 of 8 shots, 20 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, not inferior to Anthony. The Lakers also swept away the decline at home and won another big victory.

　Watching the first game of the regular season today, Crouching Tiger is a bit anxious about the inside and three-pointers. Except for McGee, there is no reliable inside. Grade Zach Collins.If this encounters Pelicans thick eyebrows or Drummond, Adams is a rebounder, it is estimated that he will be hammered.

　　Not to mention the three-pointer... With the shooting percentage in the last quarter, this game has already been won.

　　Stephenson plays singles as soon as he comes on the court. He stands up for the ball without the ball and does not move. The defense also misses people.
