Unexpectedly, Yao Ming was injured in the first game in March, and the world is full of dangers.
On the 2nd, the Lakers lost 101-106 away to the reinforced Celtics.
Towards the end of the second quarter, when Yao Ming grabbed a frontcourt rebound, he landed on the foot of substitute center Al Jefferson and unfortunately sprained the game. He played just 16 minutes and had 10 points and five rebounds.
In Yang Rui's previous life, some experts summarized that there are interior players with range, accurate mid-range shots, and footsteps, and Yao Ming, an offensive center with a basket, who is not afraid.
Jefferson has always been Yao Ming's biggest sufferer, and he can't prevent it. Now that he is still a rookie, he has already shown the characteristics of Yao's natural enemy, grabbing a rebound, and standing on his feet is so bad......
Yao Ming was injured for his own reasons, and his style of play changed.
Originally, his shots were mainly on the outside line, and the air cuts were all misplaced to find opportunities. In recent games, in order to test the results of his training, he often singled out the opponent's center with a hook hand in the low post, and also increased the number of air cuts and rushed to grab rebounds in the front court. There are a lot of people under the basket, and I don't know when I will step on one foot.
The Lakers have two new big-name centers as assistant coaches, and the media is constantly tracking and reporting. The Facebook website also often releases Yao Ming's training videos similar to "Black and Yellow Tall Long Body Training .avi" and "XX Bit Forcibly Y Shot .avi", which are unexpectedly popular on the Internet and attract a large number of fans to download. (They must have made a mistake!) )
Fans all over the world are paying attention to Yao Ming, which inevitably puts a lot of pressure on him.
Yao Ming was still a "parallel import" in people's mouths last year, and now with all kinds of halos, it is impossible to think about anything. Just like a player who was still in the bottom team of the Chinese Super League this year to participate in relegation, the next year he transferred to Real Madrid to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, who is responsible for both performing diving and being a goalkeeper...... This kind of rising speed is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Kobe Bryant's fingers were good, but the performance was poor, with 9-of-24 shooting, 1-of-6 three-pointers, and 7-of-8 free throws, scoring only 26 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists.
The Celtics' offensive points were concentrated, with only three players scoring in double figures, but all three of them cut 20+.
Pierce played 44 minutes and finished with 29 points, nine rebounds and seven assists on 10-of-18 shooting, 3-of-3 three-pointers and 6-of-7 free throws. Neither Iguodala nor Kobe Bryant's main defense could limit his play.
Ricky Davis also had a good performance of 29 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists; Returning to the Celtics, power forward Walker had 20 points and 13 rebounds.
After the loss, people still favored the Lakers, and this was only their sixth loss.
Yao Ming has undergone an MRI examination, and the injury to his left ankle is not too serious, and he will be out for 2-4 weeks.
Although the number of absences will affect the selection of regular season awards, Yang Rui still decided to let Yao Ming rest for a month and come back later.
Others think it's a bit of a fuss, Yao Ming is healthy in the first two seasons, playing a full 82 games, but Yang Rui doesn't think so, in his opinion, this is a sign, Yao Ming will become a sign of the glass man.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Yao Ming's career was full of injuries, including 5 serious injuries, which greatly affected the direction of his career. His first serious injury was a fracture in his left foot, and he was forced to recuperate for six months. That season, Maddie also missed a lot of games due to injury, and the Rockets did not make the playoffs in the end, and Chinese fans were impressed. Since then, the injury to his left foot has been a nightmare for Yao Ming's entire career.
Now, Yao Ming has been out for a month, the team can still make the playoffs and maintain the first record in the league, and if a few more losses do not affect the home advantage of the playoffs, Yang Rui does not need to let Yao Ming risk playing.
On March 4, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Mavericks 108-103 at home to avoid a losing streak.
At the press conference, Yang Rui praised his opponent. "The Mavericks are a big rival, they have the strength to impact the championship, not inferior to the Spurs and the Suns, and the Mavericks have no obvious weaknesses this season."
The reason why the opponent is affirmed is because the Mavericks have created a lot of trouble for the Lakers under the premise of an incomplete lineup.
Dampier was absent due to injury, the starting center was not there, and the substitute Haywood also did a very good job in defending the penalty area, Yao Ming was absent, and the inside combination of Odom and Rashid could not take advantage.
The Mavericks led by 18 points in the first half, but unfortunately Joe Johnson played abnormally and kept playing iron in the second half, shooting 4-of-15 from the field, 3-of-7 from three-point range, and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring only 15 points and 3 rebounds, otherwise the Lakers would not have been able to complete the comeback in the final moments.
Kobe Bryant became the key to winning, 13-of-27, 0-of-4 three-pointers, 14-of-16 free throws, and cut down 40 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
One day off, the Lakers played against the Pacers at home, and Kobe Bryant continued to exert his power, shooting 14-of-26, 0-of-2 three-pointers, 13-of-13 free throws, and cutting 41 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
Kobe Bryant's desire to attack has become stronger, although Yao Ming has no idea of competing for the boss, but many fans recognize his strength, Kobe wants to attract more popularity and consolidate his position as the boss of the Lakers.
Against the Clippers on March 8, Bryant continued to be efficient, shooting 12-of-21, 1-of-3 three-pointers, and 16-of-16 free throws, finishing with 41 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
On March 10, the Lakers played the Mavericks again, and Kobe Bryant scored 45 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting 18 of 28, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 8 of 10 free throws.
4 consecutive 40+ games, everyone was amazed by Kobe's offensive ability, and many people compared him with Jordan.
On the 12th, away against the Bobcats, Kobe Bryant continued to exert his power, 40 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and the shooting rate was more than 50%, 13 of 26 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 10 of 11 free throws.
Kobe Bryant's performance in this period can be called the first person in the league, with 40+ games in five consecutive games, high scoring efficiency, and a lot of fouls, and strong breakthrough lethality.
The Lakers' interior performance was average, and Damon Jones stepped up, shooting 9 of 18, 6 of 14 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 26 points and 6 assists, giving Kobe Bryant enough support.
Moreover, Jones hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the fourth quarter, 117-116, and beat the Bobcats with zero seconds.
The tactic arranged by Yang Rui is to let Kobe Bryant and Rashid attract defense, and Jones shoots against Bobcats point guard Breven Knight, and the opponent is only 178CM tall, which is an obvious opportunity.
The Lakers' weaknesses also began to show, the ball became concentrated, and once Kobe Bryant had no touch, the Lakers would not be able to play.
On the 14th, the Lakers challenged the Wizards away, Kobe Bryant had no feelings, played 41 minutes, shot 6 of 22, 4 of 12 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and got 18 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.
Even though Rasheed Wallace performed well, cutting down 20 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, the Lakers still lost miserably to the Wizards, and the rest of the players performed badly.
81-105, the Lakers suffered the worst loss, 81 points were also the lowest single-game score, and the Lakers lost for the seventh game.
In back-to-back games on the 15th, the Lakers lost 105-118 to the 76ers, and Kobe Bryant only scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and turned off under the defense of 76ers rookie Luo Er Deng.
Iverson had 36 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists, disrupting the Lakers' defense with a sharp breakaway. The Lakers' defense was also broken, and Korver, a second-round rookie in 2003, shot 7-of-14 from the field, 7-of-12 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, finishing with 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists.
The outside shot was opened, and even if Webb only scored 5 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, the 76ers still won.
Some people who said that they were not as strong as Yao Ming Lakers and played better looked at them all shut up.
Kobe Bryant is such an unstable person, when the fans' trust in him is at its peak and he is about to have a brain-dead trend, he will use crazy iron to make most people understand that no one in the world is invincible, even if there is, the brilliance of the moment does not mean eternity.
