I Know Everything

The end of December is usually the busiest time in western countries.

Because this time is their Christmas and New Years.

The two holidays are connected together, and their mood and feeling are the same as ours in the Chinese New Year.

What should be high, what should be eaten, what should be played, and the pressure of work and study are all put aside.

During this period, even the stock market will be greatly affected.

The only thing that is not affected, or it can be said that it will increase attention, is of course various entertainment projects.

The NBA game is one of them.

The NBA's Christmas game has always attracted much attention, and the ratings are very high.

This year's NBA Christmas game was originally planned to use the Golden State Warriors VS Cavaliers.

The schedule had already been arranged, but suddenly during the preseason game in early October, Shen Huan announced that he would return to the NBA, and the big bosses in the NBA revised the schedule excitedly while cursing.

Don't doubt it.

The NBA has always been so capricious.

Even if Shen Huan has not returned to the Lakers, as long as there is this expectation, the Lakers must be the most watched team in the world.

Most basketball fans all over the world are praying that the Lakers must work hard in the regular season, even if they are only eighth in the Western Conference, as long as they can enter the playoffs.

Even if it is the eighth place in the west, if Chen Huan comes back, whoever meets him will die, there is no surprise at all.

Unless it is a conspiracy to get Shen Huan down, otherwise Shen Huan is an irresistible bug on the court.

But even the most vicious defensive player dare not have the slightest idea of ​​such a thing.

The miserable experience of Davis and the others, the chair that was torn in two, and the baskets that were smashed reminded them that this was a prehistoric beast.

If you want to attack Shen Huan, you don't think about whether your brain has been blown out, but whether you can survive.

Just play a ball, play seriously, and do some small moves, that's enough.

Pay for your own life,

How bad is that?

Therefore, the players of the other teams are desperate, and the fans of the other teams are also desperate.

but.

They are not helpless.

The way is to get the Lakers down in the regular season so that they can't make it into the top eight in the Western Conference.

It is entirely possible to do this by directly beating the Lakers and giving points to other Western Conference teams.

After such a bad idea came out, it was recognized by many teams and fans.

So the Lakers encountered strong resistance in the first few games.

But to no avail.

Kobe and Iverson became more and more demonic as they got older, but Howard, the little monster, was in surprisingly good condition. He occupied the bottom of the basket by himself and became an insurmountable barrier.

In 7 consecutive games, the Lakers scored more than 120 points and lost only one game.

Before the Christmas game, the Lakers were 12 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the West, only 1 game behind the first-place Golden State Warriors.

Do you dare to think about this result?

The most important thing is that in such a total of 15 games, they played a total of 12 teams among the current top eight teams in the East and West!

It means that their devil's schedule for a period of time has been played.

In January, when they faced a big team, it was also when they crazily increased the number of victories.

At that time, maybe they can directly rank first in the Western Conference, or even the first in the league.

At that time, how can you prevent them from entering the preseason, how can you prevent Shen Huan from playing in the NBA?

Totally impossible!

Therefore, in this Christmas game, the Lakers faced the equally strong Golden State Warriors, which became the hope of many teams and fans.

Without Shen Huan, the Golden State Warriors have two three-pointers, Curry and Thompson, who are born to restrain the Lakers.

Because the three-pointer does not require a narrow space, it can be played freely.

If you want to come out and grab a 3-pointer, the space in there will be empty, which will open up opportunities for Golden State's post players.

As long as the spirit of the Lakers is here, everyone will continue to work hard later, and there will always be a chance of success.

If the Golden State Warriors also lose this game, I am afraid the form will not be so good.

...

As a team reporter for the Lakers, Ji Yinmei also felt this dignified atmosphere.

When the whole league is targeting you, of course you feel stressed and worried.

The same goes for the Lakers.

Several rookies are very nervous, and their shooting accuracy is not very good.

And the three veteran superstars are the hope of all of them.

According to Ji Yinmei's observation, Kobe, Iverson and Howard are in good condition and mood, and they are indeed league superstars who have gone through many years of fighting.

If it weren't for their relaxed attitude, the atmosphere of the Lakers would definitely be worse and more depressing these days.

Speaking of the three superstars, Ji Yinmei not only admires their mentality, but also their state.

Before the start of the season, no one thought that the three superstars would be in such a good state. They beat several teams into a daze at the beginning of the game, and won five consecutive victories in one breath.

Howard is a little better, he is only 31 years old, as an inside player, it is the golden age.

But Kobe is different from Iverson.

Kobe is 38 years old and Iverson is 41 years old.

The two played almost two-thirds of the regular season last year. According to normal circumstances, they can finish one-third of the games in a healthy manner, which is already thankful.

Unexpectedly, this year they are even more fierce than last year.

Played in all 15 consecutive games. Although the playing time was only about 15-25 minutes, the two scored an average of 50 points per game, plus 17 assists, 23 breakthroughs, 20 effective steals, and 33 key passes. , Such brilliant results directly drove other players of the Lakers team to win more victories in the end.

The performance of the veterans can directly affect the young players.

If the veterans don't perform well, the young players will be under a lot of pressure.

If the veteran performs well, there is not much pressure, just show yourself to your heart's content.

The two first- and second-year picks played very well because of this, averaging more than 10 points per game, and the defensive end showed their value.

As rookies, they have performed very well.

As long as they are given time to exercise, the future Lakers must be theirs.

Now, however, the Lakers have to rely on three veterans to support them.

But even if it's the three of them, whether they can successfully break through the youth storm of the Golden State Warriors, in Ji Yinmei's opinion, is still a bit uncertain.

The first big crisis facing the Lakers this season has just arrived!
