Chapter 190 189. Durant Wants to Participate in the Slam Dunk Contest

At the end of the game, the Lakers successfully avenged the Heat 110-101 at home.

For the Lakers, the biggest contributors to winning the game tonight are Gasol and Whiteside. The two combined to score 44+22 in tonight's game!
In addition, Gasol had 6 assists and Whiteside had 3 blocks!
Tang De also scored 19+12 in the whole game, while Kobe had 20+7.

Based on the performance of the Lakers starters tonight, it is not normal for them not to win the game. The performance of the starting lineup is really great.

However, the performance of the Lakers' bench lineup was a bit horrible. The entire bench lineup only scored 14 points.

This is a bit pitiful, and this is the biggest problem for the Lakers. The team relies too much on the performance of the starters, but if the starters perform a little bit worse, they are in danger of losing the game at any time.

There is no way, the Lakers really have no scoring points on the bench, and it is estimated that Jordan Hill can eat cakes and score points.

As for Wesley Johnson, Clark and others, they can occasionally throw a three-pointer or a mid-range shot.

Everyone knows that with the Lakers' bench lineup, they are capable of achieving good results in the regular season, but once it comes to the playoffs and the intensity of the game rises, if the bench lineup does not have enough firepower to support them, they will lose their strength. It is impossible to go far in the playoffs.

The reason why the Lakers are now able to sit firmly in the fifth position in the Western Conference is entirely due to the outstanding performance of the starting lineup.

The Lakers' starting lineup, even in the Western Conference where there are so many strong players, can be called a dream.

Kobe, the starting No. 20 player, needs nothing to say about his strength. Before his injury, Kobe was still one of the strong contenders for the league's scoring champion. Even now after his injury, Kobe's output has been stable at 8+ in the last dozen games 5+[-], still at the All-Star level.

Nick Young, the second starting position, is known as a "nervous knife". So far, he has averaged 15.7 points per game and 37.8 three-pointers per game with a 3.2% shooting rate. He is the most stable three-point shooter for the Lakers!
Tang De, the starting No. [-], leads the team in almost all statistics except rebounds and blocks. As for rebounds and blocks, Tang De can only come in second with the white border.

目前为止唐德场均可以砍下30.1分8.2助攻6.4篮板1.9抢断1.8盖帽，两分球命中率47.8%，三分球命中率38.5%！

The stats are so gorgeous that they cannot be described. As far as Tang De's current stats are concerned, they are almost unique in the entire history of the NBA.

It is worth mentioning that Tang De's current scoring average has risen to the first place in the league, and the second place is Durant's 29.8 points.

Gasol, the starting No. 15, played as stable as ever, averaging 9+[-] per game.

Whiteside started at the fifth position. This guy shocked the entire league in his first year back in the NBA. Currently, Whiteside is averaging 13.2 points, 14.2 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage has reached a terrifying 65. %, and he also leads the league in rebounds and blocked shots!

The five starters together averaged 94 points per game, ranking first in the league without any suspense.

With the starting lineup averaging 94 points per game, the Lakers averaged only 112 points per game. Although the average scoring of 112 points per game ranked fourth in the league, the Lakers' bench lineup averaged Can only get 18 points!
What is the level of the bench team averaging 18 points per game?
Sorry, the second-to-last level in the league.

There are really no good players on the Lakers' bench, and all of this is expected.

……

Time passed quickly. On the night of February 2, the Lakers ushered in the Utah Jazz, the last opponent of the 11-game winning streak.

This season, this is not the first time the Lakers have played against the Jazz. In the previous games against the Jazz, the Lakers had the last laugh.

The same is true tonight. The Utah Jazz, who came from afar, did not pose much threat to the Lakers at home.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Jazz at home and ended their 6-game winning streak.

However, in this wave of 6 consecutive hosts, the record achieved by the Lakers is not very good, at least there is a lot of gap compared with the previous 7 consecutive visitors.

This time, the Lakers only won 6 of the 3 consecutive games. It is strange that the home performance is worse than the away game!
At present, the Lakers have a record of 34 wins and 18 losses, leading the Trail Blazers and ranking fifth in the West.

……

There are only three days until the official start of the All-Star Weekend, and the Lakers still have one last game to play before the All-Star Game!
It is still a tough battle, because the opponent is the Oklahoma City Thunder, ranked first in the West!
That's right, it's Tang De's enemy Durant's team!

Speaking of Durant, there is one thing I have to mention, because it is simply an incredible thing.

That is the news that Durant actually announced that he would participate in this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

This once made the outside world look cute, no one thought that Durant would participate in the dunk contest.

As a superstar in the league, although Durant can dunk, how to say his dunks, compared with those professional dunkers, there is still a big gap.

But who knows, maybe he will say something when the time comes.

For Durant to participate in the slam dunk contest, NBA fans of course are in favor of it.

Durant fans are extremely looking forward to his good results in the dunk contest.

Durant's ball blacks are waiting to see Durant's jokes.

But in any case, the NBA welcomes Durant's participation in the dunk contest.

Because this is full of gimmicks, what is the All-Star Game for?Isn't it just for topicality.

Durant's participation is very topical...

What is even more surprising is that Durant made it clear that the reason why he participated in the slam dunk contest was to win Tang De.

In other words, if Tang De hadn't participated in the slam dunk contest, it was absolutely impossible for Durant to participate.

Tang De was also very helpless about this, he was really shot while lying down.

Tang De really has no intention of being an enemy of Durant, everyone is friendly, isn't it good to make peace with peace of mind?
To blame can only be blamed on Durant's narrow-mindedness. Because of the crazy praise of Tang De from the media, Durant's heart has been unbalanced. In addition, the Thunder once lost to the Lakers at home, and that game In the game, Tang De's performance even surpassed Durant, and Durant has always been worried about this!

Finally, before Durant let go, Tang De actually surpassed him in the scoring list again.

Durant: "Lao-management is the one who wins the scoring champion and gets soft hands, so why is he surpassed by you, a yellow-skinned kid? I can bear it?"

The combination of the above reasons made Durant decisively participate in this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

This Nima is lively.

Imagine, during the All-Star Weekend, when Durant and Tang De were rivals in the slam dunk contest, they were going to be teammates in the All-Star Game!

The point is that this is not an ordinary opponent, at least Durant regards Tang De as a mortal enemy, and has a big worry in his heart.

It would be fine if Durant beat Tang De in the slam dunk contest, but if he loses, how can he be a teammate?
It's not bad if you don't fight...

Headache, headache, this year's All-Star Weekend is destined to be a few days of unrest, if you are not careful, it will be recorded in history!
