The Lakers are not as strong as they used to be, but Kobe Bryant is still full of glory, and his statistics have improved from last season, averaging 29.4 points per game to lead the scoring list.

He said that he wanted to compete for the scoring title, so Yang Rui arranged tactics to help him fight, and the player pulled away to let Kobe Bryant attack with the ball. Only Kobe Bryant averaged 36.2 minutes per game, and everyone else played under 30 minutes.

This kind of "the ball is in my hands, the ambition is in my chest, hey, he

O'Neal, the original protagonist of "OK Group", was not so lucky, his popularity declined all the way, and he had a public conflict with Pat Riley, the coach and manager of the Heat, and was put on the shelf.

The Heat want to trade O'Neal as soon as possible, regardless of what they can get back. In Yang Rui's previous life, a championship could cover up many problems, and now the contradictions have erupted in advance.

Miami media broke the news that O'Neal's attitude towards maintaining his condition and training is objectively not professional enough, and he does not like training. And Riley's obsessive-compulsive disorder is no less severe than Kobe's, and he tortures O'Neal even harder.

When O'Neal first joined the Heat, the body fat rate was 16%, and Riley set up a "body fat measurement project", requiring guards to maintain a body fat rate of 6%, forwards 7%-8%, and centers at least 10%.

Riley likes to train people like machines, and O'Neill's three views are fundamentally different from his. At best, O'Neill agreed, thinking, "I'm still dominating the field when I'm 18 percent fat." ”

At his peak, it was true that many people were in much better shape than O'Neill, and they were still blown up by him. O'Neill wrote in his autobiography: "Body fat data is rubbish. ”

In an interview, O'Neill openly expressed his great miss for Zen master Jackson: "Phil is willing to give us these old bones a break, and Nazi-style high-intensity training is not suitable for me." ”

Who are the Nazis talking about? Riley, of course.

Riley is a psychopath, his office overlooks the entire training hall, and he has cameras everywhere, including the bathroom in the locker room, and there are no human rights to play in the Heat.

O'Neal complained: "No wonder Wade has been trembling and afraid of doing something wrong, and I don't want to say the Heat are prison, but everybody is walking on thin ice." ”

When Stan Van Gundy was fired, the media said that he was inseparable from O'Neal, and O'Neill couldn't believe it: "Are you crazy? Who thinks I want to play for Riley more? ”

He also once complained, "We all know Stan is the walking dead, and I feel a little sorry for him." In his mind, Stan is just Riley's puppet.

Halfway through the season, Riley has been revealed to have smashed blackboards, smashed video recorders, thrown remotes, and kicked trash cans in the Heat locker room...... He often gives passionate speeches, but the team still loses how to lose.

Some speculate that Riley is not far from getting out of class.

In any case, another famous coach has distanced himself from Yang Rui, and there are fewer and fewer people who can compare with him in the NBA.

In January, the Spurs and Suns began to show fatigue, and their regular season results fell behind.

Popovich rotated his players, reduced the playing time of his core, and didn't give his full play.

The Suns are in a comprehensive decline in the form of other players except for Nash, Barbossa, and Bale.

After O'Neal Jr. gained weight, his shooting percentage dropped to 43.6%, averaging 19.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, but the efficiency was too low. The worst thing is that he slows down and can't play well, which disrupts the rhythm of the whole team.

The Mavericks looked better than last season and were close to the Lakers, but the Lakers lost both games.

The Lakers finished January with a 38-8 record, leading the league.

In February, the Lakers lost two games against the Cavaliers, home and away, both by a narrow margin, and when they played against the Cavaliers on the road, the Lakers did not even score 90 points, losing 85-89.

Many people smell an unusual smell. Sometimes the stars don't change, what changes is the strength of the league's blowing penalties, and there are many examples of this, most notably Vince Carter. His ability is not inferior to Maddy and Kobe, but he has been staying with the Raptors, and Yang Rui has not performed well since he left.

Now the league wants to praise LeBron James, even if McBrown adopts defensive tactics that go against the tide. The Cavaliers' home whistle is very good, and although there are not many free throws, the defensive players move a lot.

Most teams began to attack and win, even Thibodeau and Hollins were led away by Yang Rui, and in the Bulls and Magic, they emphasized offensive and defensive balance, and even focused on offense. The Cavaliers held high the banner of defense, and the offense relied on James, and they also won the first place in the East.

This is James' fourth season, and he hasn't tasted the playoffs yet, and as the league's next No. 23, Stern has really struggled. James' body is the strongest among small forwards, and there are only a handful of people who can stand up to him one-on-one. Such a breakthrough in the human face frame, as long as the action is smooth and the walking referee does not blow, how to prevent it?

James' breakthrough method has caused a lot of controversy this season, pulling the ball to the layup smoothly walking three steps is not a thing, many people steal steps, but James will habitually suddenly stop in the dribble, and then jump with both feet and then dribble to the basket, which is obviously a violation, but it is rarely whistled.

In the second game of the Lakers, James had a ball and made a layup in six steps, but he was still judged to be a valid goal, which is too terrifying, if Cao Zhi had taken another step, he would have been able to make a poem.

Yang Rui knows that even if there is controversy, Stern will not care about James, and will only modify the rules for him when the controversy reaches a certain level to legitimize his style of play.

No one in the history of the NBA has ever been treated like this. It's a pity that James didn't win the championship until he joined the Heat because of his own weakness, and he annoyed Stern at that time, and his star whistle in the Heat became obviously weaker.

This season, the league has begun to advocate the finals "23VS24", two years earlier than Yang Rui's previous life.

Kobe Bryant just changed his number from 8 to 24, which leads to reverie, as if he deliberately wanted to be one size bigger than Jordan.

Although Kobe Bryant did not explain the reason for choosing No. 24, in Yang Rui's previous life, he chose No. 10 in the national team, which happened to be one size older than Jordan's No. 9. didn't explain, probably because he couldn't surpass Jordan when he retired, and the prepared lines didn't work.

In Yang Rui's previous life, James and Kobe Bryant fell in love and killed each other for 12 years, and the league hyped it countless times, but in the end they only played 22 regular season games and never met in the playoffs.

2009 was the season when the two had the best chance of meeting in the finals, and there was also a documentary "Dream Season: 23Vs24".

That year, the Lakers put together the "three highs" and ranked first in the league in depth inside; The James-led Cavaliers have a regular season record of 66 wins, the best in franchise history, and they are almost unbeatable at home. But in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers lost to Howard's Magic.

This season, the two teams are likely to meet in the Finals, and the Cavaliers have indeed come out stronger.

The key figure of the team is Mo Williams, who has averaged 17.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4 assists per game since joining the Cavaliers, shooting 48% from the field and 41.4% from three-point range.

Relying on his excellent performance in the first half, Xiao Mo was selected as a substitute in the Eastern Conference All-Star Game, and it is not too surprising that he will also be the most improved player this season.

The Cavaliers' two interior linemen, Ilgoskas and Gooden, scored double-doubles, were able to pull out the perimeter to cover teammates, and received the ball and made shots.

The veteran Horry and Marshall, who was poached in the summer, are also interior players who can shoot three-pointers, and the backup center Vallejo is good at defense and rebounding, and the Cavaliers have good interior depth and are completely stretched.

The Cavaliers swept the Lakers in the regular season, and the fans' interest was hooked again.
