The team suffered a three-game losing streak, and the media in Los Angeles had to find someone to take the blame anyway. Kobe recently played 30+ games, and his shooting percentage in two games was also good. and other players.

Some criticize Tomjanovich blindly trusting Ke Yan, focusing on offense and light defense, some criticize Odom for making muddled and inexplicable mistakes in the game, some criticize Ke Yan for talking on paper, have no hair on his lips, and do not do things firmly, and there are also critics for management Inaction at the top level, the summer deal weakened the strength of the team.Anyway, what they used to talk about has now become a problem for the Lakers.

This is the case in the city of Los Angeles, where traffic comes first!The Lakers are a wealthy team, and if they lose the game, someone has to take the blame.Ke Yan was not uncommonly praised when he won, but he was naturally pushed out when he lost.

In fact, in these three games, the Lakers basically did not suffer in terms of tactical arrangements and personnel scheduling. Either the players lost because the players felt too bad, or the main players were messed up, and there were no suitable substitute players to use.

Speaking of which, the Lakers' bench lineup is really a bit too weak.Especially backup point guard Terry Brown and backup small forward Luke Walton are really not suitable for Ke Yan's tactical system.

On December 12, the Lakers went to Charlotte and defeated the Bobcats 6 to 105, finally stopped the decline and ended the three-game losing streak. (91-11)

In addition to Kobe scoring 30+ in the fourth consecutive game, the hero of this game is Atkins. He made 13 of 7 shots, 6 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 4 free throws, and scored 21 points. , Standing up when the team was in trouble.

Odom, who was on the cusp of the storm, also came back in this game. In this game, he took 4 outside shots and hit 2 goals. He scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in the whole game. .

The Bobcats, the league's newcomers, are still in a poor and weak stage, and they can only roll around at the bottom of the league for a while.However, the team has already completed the first step of team building. First, Shari discovered Gerald Wallace, an all-round small forward, in the gold rush, and then got Okafor, who has a good immediate combat ability in the draft. It is a high-quality starter, and they are also very young.If the team is weaker for another two or three years, when the high-ranking rookies have accumulated enough, and then use the salary space to make some fuss, the rise should be a matter of course.

It's just that the team owner brought in Joe's gang leader to join the team, which became the beginning of the Bobcats' misfortune.Joe's boss is a goat, and his reputation is high, but he is far from being the boss. Not only does he cook, but he also interferes a few times!

Looking down from the perspective of God, everyone is a waste!Since they are all trash, just choose one at random!This is the principle of work for Joe to help the owner of the Bobcats.

After defeating the Charlotte Bobcats, the Lakers lost back-to-back away games to the Indiana Pacers, failing to win a winning streak. (11-9)

The fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills ended Artest's season in just seven games and took away veteran Reggie Miller's chances of a championship in his final year.Without the team's best perimeter defender and No. [-] scorer, the Pacers retreated from a championship contender to a playoff team.However, in this game, the team still suppressed the tired and exhausted Lakers.

The inside line with comprehensive offensive skills is the nemesis of this Lakers team. The Grizzlies have Pau Gasol and Pacers teammate O'Neal. The latter is a greater threat than the former, with both body and technology, and a wider shooting range. Odom and Anderson were overwhelmed.

Jermaine O'Neal overwhelmed the Lakers inside, Stephen Jackson and Reggie Miller also contributed 18 points and 16 points respectively.

That is to say, after losing this game, Ke Yan found Butler, who had been performing so well in recent games, to talk alone, and said in a stern tone: "Caron, what have you done recently? You have fallen so much. If this continues, we will Falling out of the top eight in the Western Conference!"

"I'm sorry, I know I haven't played well recently, and I will work harder in the future." It was Ke Yan's support that allowed Butler to take the starting small forward position in the Lakers, and his attitude towards Ke Yan was also very respectful.

"The nightlife in Los Angeles is beautiful, but you have to be careful when you go out to play, so as not to affect your performance on the court."

When he first arrived in Los Angeles, Butler was not that familiar with the surrounding areas. In addition, when he came to a new team, he had to fight for his position. A considerable part of the time was spent in the training hall, but as time went by, Butler settled down firmly. The main position, and then I started to go out frequently to enjoy my nightlife. Knowing which store's girls have better jobs, bigger buttocks, and less energy.

The United States pays attention to freedom and human rights. Ke Yan has no right to interfere in the private life of the players. He himself knows that the players work hard for better material enjoyment.But he hopes that players understand that all material comforts come from money, and without stable performance, the team will not give him a big contract.

Odom has already got a big contract, and his life is guaranteed.Butler is still on his rookie contract, so he doesn't play well when he spends a lot of money. There are a lot of bankrupt seniors in the league to teach him the opposite.

"The Lakers are a big team. Playing here means higher exposure. Whether you play well or not, it will be magnified. Play well, the team values ​​you and will give you a big contract. If If you don’t perform well, everyone knows that other teams will be hesitant to give you a contract.”

"You can go out to play, but you must ensure enough rest time, and don't be distracted during training and competitions. When your legs are weak during competitions, no matter how hard you try in your heart, it is useless!"

To persuade a player like Butler, you can't be moved by emotion, you can only understand it with reason and lure it for profit, and they will do this.

. . . . . . .

After two consecutive trips in the Eastern Conference, the Lakers returned to their home court against the Orlando Magic.

For the Lakers, this game is very critical.In the last five games, the Lakers have lost four games, and the ranking has fallen to eighth in the Western Conference, only one game ahead of the Grizzlies behind them.Ke Yan came to the Lakers, but he hoped to change the team's fate of missing the playoffs, and he didn't want the team to be worse than before.

Starting to rebuild from last season's feathers, the Magic's foundation is much better than the average "bad team".The combination of scoring leader + champion insider should have been worth looking forward to.Even if McGrady is unwilling to wait for Howard's growth, the team traded McGrady for Francis, Mobley, and Cato, three qualified starters, and cleared Juwan Howard's premium contract by the way, plus Grant Hill's comeback, The Magic's paper strength can be ranked among the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

In his first four years with the Magic, Grant Hill played a total of 47 games. Repeated ankle injuries have taken away the "fastest first step in the league" that Hill has relied on to survive, even after returning to relative health this season. The return to the court, the once violent breakthrough is also difficult to reproduce.But fortunately, Hill's basketball IQ is still there. As a point forward, he can make up for Francis' lack of organizational ability and act as a lubricant between Howard and Francis.

"Caron, in this game, in addition to restricting Grant's performance, we need you to adduct more and help protect the rebound. Hill is not good at outside shooting, so you can give space appropriately." The final shot after training Arrangement, Ke Yan taught Caron Butler face-to-face, "Remember, there must be no more problems in this game!"
