Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 186 Falcon Grilled Wings
Complaints are complaints, and there is no shortage of inspections that should be done.

After examination, Malone's knee was diagnosed with synovitis. Although it was not serious, it was annoying to have to pump the effusion frequently. The medical team suggested that he should take a truce for a week and come back depending on the situation.

In any case, Malone will definitely not be able to play in the next game against the Nuggets.

Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe has been in a good mood lately.

Although he was cheated by Jim at the second pick and lost Nene and the second round pick, Carmelo Anthony, who is getting better, used his continuous outstanding performance to prove to Vandeweghe that this sacrifice is worth it.

In Vandeweghe's view, there are a few wild power forwards like Nene every year, but Anthony, he is an unborn genius, maybe only one in 20 years, if it is not for the existence of LeBron James, Anthony can be more dazzling.

In the last game against the Lakers, Anthony staged a feast of blacksmithing, and Melon was full of fighting spirit and ready to find his place at home.

Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik is a coach who pays attention to defense. In his opinion, although Camby's rebounds and blocks are quite gorgeous, his defensive effect is really mediocre. Unfortunately, apart from Camby, the only insider in the team is Sky. A parallel importer like Tishvili, or a foul maniac like Desagina Diop, or an older rookie Francisco Elson, and Ryan Bowen, who has a limited mental capacity and limited ability, counts inside, Can't find a player above a level, so he can barely start with Camby and Elson.

In addition to the stable contributions of Anthony and Voshan Leonard, the Nuggets' scoring mainly came from the double-short combination Earl Boykins and Chucky Atkins on the bench.The Nuggets usually use the chaotic ability of the two to bring up the rhythm in the transition period, and make up for the lack of defensive ability by not falling with the opponent.

Malone was absent, and Nene got a starting chance when facing his old owner.

For one and a half seasons, Artest has always been outside the system. His awareness of running without the ball is not good, and he can only squat in the two bottom corners most of the time. Try your luck when the players are weak, bully the opponent's weak opponents, three-pointers are the magic sword of six pulses, and the shooting rate depends entirely on the sky.

To sum up, Phil Jackson has not been optimistic about Ron Artest, and he is also somewhat dissatisfied with Jim's choice to give up Brad Miller and keep Artest.His only use may be to lock down the opposing striker with excellent offensive ability.

So in the game against the Nuggets, Artest gave full play to the meaning of his existence. Under Artest's strong defense, Anthony made 18 of 5 shots and scored 15 points and 6 turnovers. The efficiency of 13-for-1 in the last game was a bit higher, but it was difficult for the Nuggets to win with the performance of the nominal number one star.

Camby still contributes gorgeous data, 8 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks. This is the standard configuration of Ben Wallace this season, but when played by Camby, the taste has completely changed. To describe it as full of holes, Garnett and Nene, who have held back for two games, did whatever they wanted on the court, especially Nene, who scored 8 points and 18 rebounds on all 12 shots, 6 of which were dunks. Suspension for two games.

Garnett, who came back from the lifting of the ban, scored a triple-double of 17 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, which completely revitalized the team. After the team regained the inside axis, they played smoothly.The Lakers defeated the Nuggets 113 to 98 in an away game, ending their opponent's 4-game winning streak and their own 3-game losing streak.

After back-to-back away games, the Lakers returned home to face the Atlanta Hawks.

Although the medical team's suggestion was to let Malone rest for a week, after careful consideration, Jim decided to let the coaching staff at least put him on the active list to prevent him from running around in jeans.

After losing Glenn Robinson, the Eagles were completely reduced to a low-level team. Jason Terry and Sherif Abdul-Rahim played their Buddhist basketball, playing cards and scoring 20 points every day. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose.

Their coach is Terry Stotts, who took over such a mess when he just became the NBA coach. Stotts' coaching career can be said to be at least a difficult start. It must be useless, and it doesn't make sense to play poorly, because their draft picks have been traded almost.

In the first quarter, the Lakers showed a victorious momentum. Kobe scored 6 points on all 14 shots, twice as many as the Hawks.

Except for Theo Ratliff who picked up two wallets under the basket, the Eagles missed all 12 shots and made 6 of 3 free throws. They were beaten by the Lakers 34 to 7 in a single quarter.

During the intermission, Stotts looked at the players with blank faces, sighed, wiped off the tactical board, put the small note back in his pocket, and gave up the treatment.

"Listen, guys, we can't win this game, let this end soon." Stotts said sadly, this short lecture only took 10 seconds, with 1 minute and 50 minutes remaining. Seconds later, the players looked at each other, at a loss.

"Charles Barkley once said that they would put some water in this kind of game, so that the coach has a reason to keep himself on the court, so that it is easy to collect statistics. However, I don't think there is anything to say about this kind of rubbish game, and I am still worried about the other side. Most of the players became angry because they lost too much, which caused our players to be injured. Generally speaking, it is a stupid behavior to let the main players play on the field after leading by nearly 30 points." Jim moved to the edge of the coach's bench, and Ryan Xiao and others chatted.

Phil Jackson understood this truth. Of course, the Lakers did not continue to use the main lineup. In the second quarter, Wade and David West led the bench lineup. They only beat the Hawks by 10 points in a single quarter. Compared with the starting lineup, The brutality was a little less.

Even Korver and Haslem got close to 20 minutes of playing time in this game. After struggling for half a season, Korver finally found his three-pointer. To rub salt in the Eagles' wounds, the Lakers turned this game into a practice game, and the poor Hawks players just hope that the game will end as soon as the coach said.

After two hours of hell for the Hawks and their supporters, the final buzzer finally sounded and they could finally stay away from the court for a while.

127比69，湖人主场对老鹰完成了一场屠杀，58分的分差也超过了72-73赛季西决126比70击败勇士的56分，创造了队史赢球第二大分差记录。
