After the game, both the Lakers' coaches and players attributed the big win to a good hand, and did not sarcastically mock the opponent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When referring to the players in this team, Yang Rui said that there was a lot of pressure.
"What pressure?"
"There are so many potential players in the team, and I like players with great strengths, like Cook, but because he is so strong on the inside, he can only be a fringe man in the team. and Dio, as long as he is given the right tactics, he performs too well, but he can only be a substitute. ”
The reporter asked: "Will you give them more time to perform in the future?" ”
"Yes, if the stars are in a slump, I'll give them a rest as well."
The next day, the second phase of the NBA's official power rankings was released, and the Lakers ranked first with a 21-2 record, the Suns ranked second with a 20-4 record, and the Spurs ranked third with a 19-5 record.
Last season, there were more stars in the East, and many people had the illusion that the East was strong and the West was weak. Now that Yang Rui has joined the Lakers and Nash has joined the Suns, people have found that the strength of the West has improved again, and the top three in the power list are all Western teams.
Fourth place is the Bulls, 19-6, the Trident is balanced offensively and defensively, and Crawford is expected to compete for the best sixth man off the bench.
The generally favored Heat are only fifth, with a record of 17 wins and 8 losses.
The Heat are not as strong as last season, and the main problem is that Brian Grant, a high-paid and low-energy interior lineman, can't be sent.
All teams know that Grant is a big hole, his contract only expired in 2007, with an average annual salary of 14 million and an average of 3.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. Even if you want to change the garbage contract, you can't get more garbage than this, and what the Heat need is to release salary space, otherwise they won't be able to poach people to win the championship.
In the summer, Pat Riley wanted to trade Grant for Antoine Walker of the Hawks, but it was a pure dream. Online, Heat management was ridiculed by Hawks fans for this. Why don't you trade Grant for Garnett? By the way, exchange Haslem for Duncan, and the championship will be secure.
In 2006, the Heat will face the issue of Caron Butler's contract extension, and the team will almost have to disintegrate, and last season failed to win a championship, and it will be increasingly difficult for the Heat to win a championship in the future.
News analysis, the most unlucky team is the Suns, they will compete with the Lakers for the Pacific Division championship, the one with a backward record, even if it has a better record than the other two district championship teams, will fall to fourth place to fight for fifth.
The fifth place definitely comes from the Southwest District, which is the strongest in the West, and both the Mavericks and the Grizzlies are tough to bite.
Even if you pass the first round, you have to face the first team in the regular season in the West in the second round, which is a result that neither team wants to see, and the schedule is too bad.
Therefore, Yang Rui's slogan in the team is "every game must be fought"! The Lakers don't make any reservations during the regular season, and the stars don't rotate to rest unless there is an injury.
On the 20th, the Lakers played at home against the Grizzlies, and the informant Dio played 32 minutes, scoring 15 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists, and hit a triple-double in two consecutive games.
The reason why Yang Rui reused Dio was that Rashid and Kobe Bryant were in too bad shape.
Rashid shot 1-of-7 from the field, 1-of-4 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, playing 18 minutes, shooting 14.3%, and scoring 5 points and 2 rebounds...... As a player of similar fame, he played too hard this time.
Kobe Bryant faced Posey and Battier's wheel battle, and his performance was even worse, playing 34 minutes, shooting 2 of 16, 0 of 6 three-pointers, 7 of 9 free throws, 11 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 turnovers and 4 fouls, shooting only 12.5%.
Yang Rui called a timeout to let Kobe Bryant adjust, focusing on breakthroughs, giving up mid- and long-distance shooting, but his breakthrough was also blocked.
So Yang Rui replaced him to rest, and only returned to the court in the second half of the final quarter, in order to strengthen the defense.
When it feels good, Kobe Bryant is like a god. When it doesn't feel good...... Any idea why people who live near the stadium often don't sleep well? Because someone started striking iron there at four o'clock in the morning.
The two stars were out of order, and the Lakers still won, relying on joint defense, 92-82.
Yao Ming scored 17 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, and Odom had 14 points, 12 rebounds and 1 assist, and the two were also the heroes of the win.
Lorenzen White, who played 20 minutes against Yao Ming, played 20 minutes and was denied a point by Yao Mingfang, shooting 0 of 6 and 0 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist.
Against the Hornets on the 22nd, Kobe Bryant continued to slump, shooting 9 of 26, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 10 of 15 free throws, scoring 29 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
However, Kobe Bryant made a lot of contributions in this game, broke through a lot, and made a lot of fouls on the inside, which made PJ Brown and Chris Anderson fall into foul trouble, and the Hornets starting center Magloyle was out due to injury, and the team was empty inside.
Yao Ming broke out, only played 34 minutes, made 10 of 16 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 24 points, 21 rebounds, 1 steal and 5 blocks, domineering dominating the restricted area.
Rashid also broke out, shooting 9-of-17, 6-of-10 from three-point range, 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, and cutting down 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
After these two games, there were many voices questioning Kobe Bryant on the Internet.
"Kobe Bryant played like an undercover agent, the Lakers can still win, is his role really critical? It feels like Nash is more important to the Suns, and even if the Lakers have a better record, this season's MVP should also be given to Nash. ”
"Kobe Bryant is not in good shape and still has a strong shot, isn't it over if he passes to the inside? The Lakers are the first in the league in the depth of the inside line, which is the reason why the Lakers are strong, and other teams are not very disadvantaged when they play the Lakers on the outside. ”
"Jerry Young's best thing is actually to train the inside line, no matter which team he leads, he feels that the inside line has no solution, which is amazing."
Yang Rui was interviewed and stood up and said fairly. "If you want to win the game, the combination of inside and outside is a must, without Kobe, the Lakers can't play so well, an outside star with strong scoring ability is essential, he just hasn't felt good recently. Let's not forget that he is still at the top of the scoring charts. ”
The reporter asked again: "Some people say that the Lakers are not tough enough inside, and big men like to pull out and shoot, what do you think?" ”
"Whatever, I just lead the team to win." Yang Rui smiled.
There is no shortage of people in this world who like to lift the bar and pick bones in the egg.
The world is already flawed, and people are constantly creating new flaws every day, so there is no need to make a fuss about the flaws. But perfectionists don't think so, they watch TV and laugh at the actors' poor acting skills; When you go to the unit, you will say that the leaders are all sharpened and climbed up, or they are related households; Buying things after work and scolding vendors are all liars; When I go home, I mumble that my wife is not good at work; When you have a parent-teacher conference, you resent your child for not being smart enough...... Anyway, there is almost nothing that is in line with what I see.
This kind of person has a pair of discerning eyes, and the best response to such a person is silence. Because whatever you say, he will come the opposite of you.
The next game is the Christmas game, and the league has arranged Lakers vs Heat.
The gimmick of this game is too much, and the grievances of the "OK combination" have been on the news many times, some people broke the news that O'Neal had played Kobe Bryant in training, and some people thought that Kobe had squeezed O'Neal away.
Last season, O'Neal also rapped Kobe Bryant in the bar to satirize "You can't do anything without me", and now, people want to see how Kobe Bryant will fight back.
The "Yao Shark Showdown" is what Chinese fans are most concerned about, and O'Neill will become Yao Ming's alchemy.
O'Neill is under a lot of pressure right now, it's two against one!
