Chapter 562 [Winning streak at the beginning, invincible alliance]
After seeing the comments on the Internet, Lakers owner Jerry Buss personally stepped in and invited Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant to dinner.
What he said specifically, Yang Rui didn't know or asked, he must have hoped that the two would be harmonious and happy.
Because of the geographical location and team background, the Lakers can easily attract stars to join, but if the contradiction between the inside and outside core breaks out again, there may not be stars willing to come, and Old Buss wants to avoid this kind of thing.
Yang Rui is not worried that the "drug combination" will break up in recent years, and there will be no big contradictions among the role players, once the dynasty is established, it is difficult to say, everyone has selfishness, and ambitions will become bigger, with a ring, who doesn't want more ball rights and high salaries? Who wants to be a role player for the rest of their lives?
Yang Rui found a problem when he was a white-collar worker on the website in his previous life, once a player won a championship ring, the evaluation of the outside world, and his own mentality will be completely different, even if the data is poor, he is just a marginal person, and he seems to be superior to others if he has a champion, and he can say that he is a champion puzzle piece.
There are many examples of this, as are role players who are overrated because they have multiple rings.
For example, Derrick Fisher, in Yang Rui's previous life, Fisher, as a point guard, got the peak data of his career in the weak Warriors, playing an average of 31.6 minutes per game, 13.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists, shooting 41% from the field and 39.7% from three-point range.
In the Lakers, it was difficult for Fisher to score double-doubles and it was difficult to reach 4 assists, such a person, just because of the many rings, became the representative of the best role players, and later became the president of the players' union. In fact, there are more point guards who are suitable for holding legs in the Lakers, not possessing the ball, and can shoot three-pointers, but they are not as lucky as Fisher.
In the final two years of the Lakers, Fisher was the worst starting point guard in the league, and any point guard who was faster could beat him. Even so, there are countless fans who have washed the floor for him, saying that his role cannot be reflected in data until he is traded.
Yang Rui predicts that once the team wins three consecutive championships, Rashid Wallace will definitely choose to jump out of the contract, and perhaps next season, he will consider making a few more shots to make his stats more beautiful and work hard for the last big contract of his career.
If the Lakers choose to renew Iguodala's contract, then the team's salary space will also be locked, and they will not be able to renew all the championship-winning heroes, and a big change in the future will be necessary.
The biggest difference between basketball and football is that no team can maintain a lineup for a long time, and the Lakers will definitely expose a lot of problems in the future, and what Yang Rui has to do is to try to replenish fresh blood through trades and drafts to keep the team competitive.
On a day off, the Lakers played the Clippers at home, and it was another easy victory, 116-97. The Clippers lost by less than 20 points and are already doing well.
The Clippers are expected to make the playoffs this season, and after years of survival, they are finally coming out.
Kwame Brown ensured the defense of the penalty area, and Carman was able to pull away the mid-range shot, and there was footwork in the low post; The newcomers Dunleavy and Mobley guaranteed three points of firepower; Cassel, the point guard, is experienced, can score on his own, and his offense is well organized.
Dunleavy exploded as soon as he arrived at the Clippers, and after the Knicks management poached Radmanovich, they decided that Dunleavy was useless and sent him to the Clippers to find his daddy.
Playing under his father Dunleavy Sr., Dunleavy Jr. finally came to his heart's content and became the crown prince in Los Angeles. When the father naturally knows what style of play his son is good at, his statistics have improved to an average of 14 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3 assists per game.
On the 20th, the Lakers defeated the Bulls 103-96 at home, opening with 10 consecutive wins.
The Bulls had a full lineup and caused the Lakers a lot of problems, leading by three quarters.
Point guard Chris Dujon played at a super level, shooting 5-of-7 from three-point range, 7-of-12 from the field, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 21 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.
Maddy scored 38 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and Kobe Bryant and Iguodala couldn't guard him in one-on-one.
But at the last moment, it was Kobe Bryant who played better, scoring 7 points in a row and sealing the win.
After the Bulls brought in reinforcements in the summer, their strength was still inferior to that of the Lakers, mainly because of the losses on the inside. Yao Ming chipped in 24 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, beating Purzbila and newcomer Malik Allen.
This year, the Lakers played both on Thanksgiving, beating the SuperSonics 108-96 at home.
The SuperSonics were one of the weakest teams in the league, with a 2-8 start and an offense that relied on two shots, Rashad Lewis and Ben Gordon. The Lakers players didn't play tactics with their hearts, it was like a relaxed exhibition game, which saved enough face for the SuperSonics and made them very grateful.
Ben Gordon's fate has changed a lot from Yang Rui's previous life, this is only the second season of his career, playing an average of 34 minutes per game, scoring 21.7 points, 3 rebounds and 3.6 assists, shooting 45.5% from the field and 43.2% from three-point range. If you just look at the stats, Ben Gordon can definitely be an All-Star, and he has become the boss of the supersonics.
After two days off, the Lakers slaughtered the Nets 126-81.
Without Carter and Jefferson, the Nets are now Kidd, Stephen Jackson, Martin Trident, and their offense and defense are average.
The Nets' two former All-Star stats have declined, and the team's leading scorer is Jackson, who averages 19.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, and he could be selected to the All-Star Game this season.
The highlight of the Nets' interior is the second-year rookie Kostic, who has the height and can shoot the basketball. If it weren't for him showing potential, the Nets wouldn't have let Eddie Curry go so easily.
The Nets are currently ranked sixth in the East, and it will not be difficult to make the playoffs, but they will not be able to fight back against the Lakers.
On the 29th, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 104-90 away, won 13 consecutive victories, and scored more than 100 points in all games, ending the journey in November.
The Spurs started the season with a 10-4 record and a mediocre performance.
Finley's addition strengthened the team's forward line, responsible for bringing the bench, and averaging 10.2 points per game, is the team's biggest highlight.
However, the Spurs' interior strength has declined slightly compared to last season, Malone retired, and in the summer they brought in Argentine blue-collar power forward to release Rizio Oberto, who is just a blue-collar and cannot be compared with Malone.
The only position that the Spurs have an advantage in is the power forward, and Duncan's advantage over Rashid and Odom is not as obvious as Yao Ming's play against Nesterovic and Muhammad. Ginobili and Parker can fight to a draw with Kobe Bryant and Williams Mo, which is already a blessing.
The Spurs lost to the bench, Tinsley left, Barry declined, and only Finley provided offensive firepower, which was no match for the Lakers bench bandits.
Entering December, the Lakers defeated the Jazz and Timberwolves one after another, and the opening winning streak reached 15 games.
Bogut performed better than the Bucks after joining the Jazz, scoring 12.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 blocks in his rookie season while shooting 53% from the field. Like in his previous life, Bogut actively challenged Yao Ming on the offensive end, and even ate big hats, understanding the gap between himself and real stars.
After the addition of David Lee at No. 4, the Jazz's offense has significantly strengthened, but he and Boozer are both poor in blocking and pick-and-roll, and the Jazz need to run in for a while to strengthen their defense if they want to enter the playoffs.
Yao Ming defeated Kobe Bryant to win the Western Conference Player of the Month with his stable performance in the first month. This is the first time he has won this honor since joining the NBA.
The Lakers' schedule after that is relatively easy, and it is difficult to overturn in the gutter against weak teams in a row. Fans are predicting which team will end their winning streak.
Now some weak teams don't dare to fight the Lakers at all, and the pressure of the game is very high, for fear that the Lakers players will be in a brave state that day and carry out a massacre.
This season, the Lakers are both public enemies of the league and standouts.
