Chapter 383 The More The Better
As early as 1960, when the New York Knicks faced the Syracuse Nationals, they lost 100 to 162, embarrassing the whole New York.

Since then, the Knicks, the self-proclaimed No. [-] team in the league, have not encountered such a disastrous defeat. As a result, half a century later, they were severely trampled beyond recognition by their imaginary No. [-] enemy, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Although the record for the biggest loss has not been broken, this disgraceful way of losing made New York fans who have always been aloof. Spike Lee even blacked out at the premiere of his movie. face, obviously the mood has been hit a lot.

No matter how famous Isaiah Thomas or Larry Brown used to be, in the spotlight of New York, if you don't do what you want, you have to be prepared to be scolded.

"Larry Brown has something to do now, you really don't have the habit of being merciful, don't you save some face for others, don't you?" Jim joked, facing Don Nelson.

"Larry and I have known each other for so many years, and we never need to save face for each other on the court. Besides, I replaced the main force early. David and Kyle are two boys chasing each other non-stop. I can't tell them' Come on, don't let them lose too badly by playing casually'?" Although Don Nelson said it lightly, it is always a pleasure to slaughter Larry Brown's team.

"Speaking of Kyle, I almost forgot to get down to business. Mitch and I are planning a deal recently. We think the team still needs an inside defender. From your point of view, you think Anderson Varejao is our An inside answer?" Jim said seriously.

"Anderson, of course, is not lacking in enthusiasm, but his physical condition is average. Compared with the orthodox center, his body size is smaller, his defense ability is not good, he is smart, but he relies too much on his diving skills. As for the offensive end, he can only It has a certain spirituality." Don Nelson thought about it and analyzed.

"That said, he can't be the inside top defender we need in a short period of time." Jim summed it up.

Don Nelson agrees.

"Then we treat him as one of the bargaining chips, shouldn't it be a big problem?" Jim asked.

"You don't need to be so cautious, I don't think you will mess around like some people." Don Nelson said with a smile. Jim's performance is obviously a gesture for himself, showing that the team respects the views of the head coach and will not be casual. Mess with players.

"Hahahaha, I know how disgusting it is when a player I like is traded away and two people I don't like are forced in. Although... you are right, I still have some doubts about my trade. Somewhat confident."

After getting a positive answer from Don Nelson, Jim asked Kupchak to continue to promote the transaction. After all, there are many steps needed to achieve the goal.

Here, the Lakers "away" challenge the Los Angeles Clippers.

After years of sinking, the Clippers seem to have finally found their answer. Elton Brand and Corey Maggette signed extensions with the team, and the performance is still stable, while the summer poached from the Kings Cutino Mobley also had a good performance. After two tepid seasons, third-year insider Chris Kaman is finally a little bit about to play people's expectations, and the point guard It was Sean Livingston, a two-meter-tall young man who was agreed by many to have a bright future.Relying on these people, the Clippers played a good start with 4 wins and 2 losses.

It's a pity that the Lakers didn't intend to continue to let them win. After the stalemate in the first half, the Clippers lost in the third quarter, and the Lakers played a 44-20 super attack wave in a single quarter, directly declaring crash.

131 to 109, the Lakers defeated the Clippers and continued their winning streak, scoring more than 130 points in two consecutive games. The fierce firepower is eye-catching.The starting five, plus Odom and David Lee, all scored in double figures, and Korver also scored 9 points.Kobe had 26 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, basically not sweating much.

Brand scored a game-high 33 points and 15 rebounds, which could hardly prevent the Clippers from losing.

Subsequently, the Lakers sit at home to face the challenge of the Chicago Bulls.

After giving up Eddie Curry who defended the black hole and was asking for a lot of money, the Bulls completely supported Tyson Chandler as the pillar of the inside defense, and the backcourt was a combination of Kirk Hinrich and Ben Gordon. On the wing is Luol Deng, known as the British Jordan. As for the power forward position, the Bulls will replace Michael Sweetney, who was traded from New York.

Known as "Sweetney-Sweety", Sweetney is only 2 meters tall and weighs an astonishing 03 kilograms. Although he has a pretty good consciousness, his huge weight makes his body unable to keep up As the No. 130 pick in the super year of 2003, he played tepidly in the first two years. It can be said that he is already a half-wasted lottery ticket. New York scratched out the word "thank you". However, the bull is not willing to give up, and will not give up until he sees "patronage".

But in the game against the Lakers, Sweetney's size really had a miraculous effect against the small lineup of the Lakers. No one in the Lakers could touch him in the low post. Don Nelson just let Artest symbolically The defense side basically let Sweetney take the shot, and the rest focused on locking down the two outside guns, Luol Deng and Ben Gordon.

Under such a defensive strategy, Sweetney played a representative game of his career, making 16 of 8 shots, scoring 20 points and 12 rebounds, and his efficiency was not bad.

But on the defensive end, he also has nothing to do with anyone in the Lakers. Even Artest, who is known for his stiff dribble, looks extremely flexible and elegant in front of him.

Sweetney scored 20 points, but the Lakers scored at least 50 points on his head. He and Ben Gordon became the focus of the Lakers. Poor Tyson Chandler, as the last barrier under the basket , had to wipe the ass of his teammates everywhere.

The Bulls' resistance was of no avail. The Lakers beat the Bulls 112-99. At the last minute, Trevor Ariza blocked Darius Sanguela's top goal while the audience chants "We want tacos!" The basket successfully kept the Bulls' total score below 100 points and became the hero of the audience.

"Trevor should know that this block of his has cost the team extra expenses. For his performance, I can only say that the more the better!" Jim held a taco and said In the interview that belonged to Wade to steal the spotlight, his seat returned to the sidelines he was used to. As a spectator, he was also eligible to get tacos.

Facing his hometown team, Wade performed well. He beat Ben Gordon and scored 41 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.
