Chapter 279
On January 1, the Lakers played against the Nuggets at home. On the 1nd, the Nuggets played away again.Five of the six games are back-to-back, which shows how tight this year's schedule is.

The tightness made it difficult for the Lakers to get through.The training camp started late before the start of the season, and very few players remained in shape during the lockout period, so it was a bad thing.

On the 1st, the Lakers won, but at the expense of Sun Yue. At No. 2, Daniel Gibson was hurt in the second quarter.Without Gibson, D'Antoni can only rely on Fisher, and his tactics are messed up.

In the third quarter, Kobe also sprained his coach.Within two days, three players were injured, which demoralized the Lakers, and Wu Di's shooting percentage was not accurate.

The Lakers lost the game.

The good news is still there. Sun Yue only needs one month to recover, Gibson needs one and a half months to recover, and Kobe only needs about half a month.The UAE will recover in a week. As long as the Lakers can survive this week, the situation will be much better.

On the 4th, the Lakers played against the Rockets at home. The Rockets have strengthened slightly this season and signed Suns guard Dragic.

Odom has always wanted to return to the Lakers in recent years. After he was traded to the Rockets, he missed three championship rings, which made him feel very regretful.He is proud in love now, but frustrated in court.

His wife, Kohler Kardashian, is very kind to him. The women in the Kardashian family are all famous socialites. Kohler knew how to enjoy life before he was married to Odom.After marrying Odom, he will naturally be able to serve Odom comfortably.

There are even rumors that Odom's good and bad performances on the court are all because of Kohler Kardashian. Coincidentally, as long as Odom and Kohler are together on the first day, his performance on the second day must be bad , providing strong evidence for this assertion.

If it weren't for Odom still having tactical value, maybe the Rockets would have to trade him.The pick-and-roll combination formed by him and Kyle Lowry is an important guarantee for the Rockets to still be a strong team, and the Rockets management can only turn a blind eye to his state.

But as long as the Rockets management is determined to rebuild, Odom will definitely be traded away.

Odom is very envious of Wu Di now. After Wu Di came to the Lakers, the Lakers immediately established a dynasty with three consecutive championships.Although Wu Di is responsible for this, it is undeniable that the strength of other Lakers is the key to the Lakers' establishment of a dynasty.

Kobe Bryant, Gasol, Bynum, Pekovic, Sun Yue, Fisher, Brad Miller, UAE, Vujacic, Ariza and others all played a vital role.

The Rockets are ready to win the next game when the Lakers' lineup is not complete.Nothing can boost morale more than winning the defending champion. The Rockets need to use this victory if they want to go further this season.

So Kyle Lowry and Odom started a strong pick-and-roll at the beginning of the game, and Gasol couldn't keep up with Kyle Lowry's speed.Odom was also very strong on the outside, shooting 6 of 4 three-pointers.

If it wasn't for the fact that other people couldn't prevent Wu Di, they might really be able to win this game.

On the 6th, the Lakers played away against the Trail Blazers. On the 7th, they faced the Warriors back to back.

The Blazers have a strong defense inside and have two very defensive insiders, Aldridge and Camby. The combination of the two makes it difficult for Wu Diqiang to play inside.

The rest of the Lakers also felt abnormal. The Lakers scored 96 points in total, and Wu Di scored 52 points, accounting for more than half.

But the Trail Blazers blossomed more. Aldridge, Crawford, Gerald Wallace, Raymond Felton, Wesley Matthews, and Nicholas Batum scored in double figures, more than the Lakers. 11 more points to win the game.

The Warriors lineup has not changed much this year, and Monta Ellis and Curry are still in charge. However, Curry suffered an injury two days ago and it will take a month or two to recover.Their inside line, David Lee, is strong offensively, but poor defensively, and they are easily overwhelmed by the Lakers.

If the current team does not have a strong defensive inside line, it will be easily blown up after encountering the Lakers.Unable to prevent Wu Di from entering the paint, how difficult is it to win against the Lakers.

On the 9th, the Lakers played the Grizzlies.Because of Wu Di's containment, the Grizzlies' inside pressure is too great.Moreover, during the lockout period, Randolph's lazy character broke out, and his state declined severely after he came back. From averaging 20 points per game last season to around 10 points per game, his scoring data dropped to only half.

He was originally an offensive insider, and the decline in scoring data has proved that he has lost his value.So the Grizzlies asked him to bring a substitute. If he still can't perform well, the Grizzlies may trade him next season.If the deal is not made, the Grizzlies will not renew his contract after the contract expires.

Playing against the Suns on the 11th, the UAE will be able to play in the game.Wu Di no longer needs to be a cameo on the inside line, and starts to drive the outside line to attack.

But the Lakers did not have many players who could play, and Fisher was also injured in this game.Jeremy Lin and Andrew are both useless.

Klay Thompson broke out in this game. With Wu Di distracting the defender for him, he made 12 of 8 shots, 6 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 24 points.

After Kobe was injured, Klay Thompson got a lot of opportunities.At the beginning, the Lakers chose him to find a substitute for Kobe. After Kobe retired, the Lakers' No. [-] position would not have no successors.

From the current point of view, Klay Thompson has completed the task, and he can now serve as the starter.Although the experience is a little immature, it is enough in terms of ability.

On the 12th, the Lakers played the Jazz back to back.

Last season, several veterans of the Jazz are gone. Deron and Okur left for New Jersey, and Kirilenko returned to Russia because of the lockout. With the addition of Boozer who left before, the Jazz is now a new team.

Millsap and Al Jefferson took the lead to form the inside duo.

This combination is indeed very strong, and it is easy to win against a team without a strong insider.Both Millsap and Al Jefferson are currently the top insiders in the league, supporting the entire Jazz.

On the 14th, the Lakers played against the Cavaliers at home.

Bynum let go of his rhetoric before the game, saying that the Lakers traded him was a wrong decision. He must lead the Cavaliers to defeat the Lakers today and let the Lakers know how powerful he is.

After Bynum went to the Cavaliers, he did not change his arrogant side.The cooperation between him and No. 20 pick Kelly Irving is quite pleasant. In the Cavaliers, he has more players, and his scoring average has soared to more than 7 points per game, which is 8 or [-] points more than the Lakers. Arrogant nature.
