Chapter 597: Damn schedule, the Heat are lying on their backs
Times have really changed!
The Black Mamba in front of the camera said nothing.
It was obvious that his current mood was extremely bad.
The inside penalty area of the majestic Purple and Gold Army has turned into an entertainment venue for the opponent to do whatever they want. You can imagine the feeling!
Faced with a barrage of questions from reporters, Kobe remained silent for a long time and finally left the stage sadly.
In other words, he really didn't want to believe what he was seeing. Because both the Lakers and he lost in this game, completely and desperately.
? Unexpectedly, one day he would actually admit the other party's strength personally. Is there anything more fucked up than this?
"We lost the game because our skills were inferior to others. The reason is that simple. There is nothing to say!"
Lakers coach Byron Scott seemed particularly impatient during the interview.
There is no way to compete in the summer vacation in this way, and I am afraid that no one can still accept the answer with a smile. It is extremely rare that he can still stand here and accept media interviews at this moment.
But what he said is indeed true.
In this alliance that implements the "winner takes all" rule, the process is not important, not to mention excuses, who has prevented you from fighting against the opponent.
To put it bluntly, isn’t it just because the skills are inferior to others?
January 5th is destined to be a sad day for the entire Lakers team.
…
…
This is over. After this unforgettable game, the first week of the 2015 NBA season has also come to an end.
At this time, what people are paying special attention to is undoubtedly the upcoming announcement of the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week!
The media did not keep the fans waiting for too long and soon announced the best players in the East and West in the first week of the new year.
In the past week, the Trail Blazers achieved a record of two wins in three games, but Wang Zelin did not play in the loss to the Raptors. In the end, he led the team to two wins in two games, averaging 38 points, 17 rebounds and 6 blocks per game.
With a dominant performance of 4.5 assists and 1 steal, he was undoubtedly the best player in the Western Conference!
The Eastern Conference Player of the Week was won by Kemba Walker!
Last week, Walker led the Charlotte Desert Team to victory in four games. He averaged 30.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game. There was no doubt that he was selected as the best player of the week.
By the way, this is the fourth season of Kemba Walker's career, and he won the conference best of the week honor for the first time!
In Charlotte, in a lake-view villa, a slightly bloated No. 23 who did not want to be named and had retired for many years saw the news on his bed. He was so excited that he immediately turned over again.
"If this continues, that little guy Kemba will have a chance to be an All-Star this year!"
"Hmph, when Kemba is selected as an All-Star, who dares to say that I have poor vision..."
Thinking of this, No. 23 subconsciously scratched his bald head.
Speaking of which, after leading the Bobcats back to the playoffs last season for the first time in many years, many fans felt sorry for Kemba Walker's failure to be selected as an All-Star.
This year, although the Bobcats had a bad start, Kemba Walker quickly attracted a lot of people's attention with his explosive performance last week, which also allowed him to increase his votes in the Eastern Conference All-Star backcourt voting.

The schedule against the Lakers ended perfectly, but the tense nerves of the Blazers players cannot be relaxed, because in the next week or so, the Blazers' schedule can be said to be quite devilish.
First, there will be three consecutive away games. After two consecutive away games, we will return to Portland to play a home game and start another wave of three consecutive away games!
During this period, there was no shortage of fatal back-to-back away games. Wang Zelin said he had had enough.
?This season is not a shortened season, so the devilish schedule generally refers to the quality of opponents.
After facing the Lakers, the Trail Blazers' opponents in the next three games are actually not very good. They are the Heat, the runner-up team last season, the Suns, who have entered a long rebuilding period, and the Magic, a team that has been bad for ten thousand years.
However, the next four games were outrageous.
Returning to the home court to play the Clippers on January 14th can be regarded as letting them take a breath first. The next three consecutive away opponents are the Lakers, Spurs and Grizzlies...
In the last four games, all opponents were ruthless.
Therefore, in the next week or so, the Blazers will not dare to relax for a moment. If they are not careful, the first three welfare games may be overturned.
Now, Aldridge and Matthews are not expected to return until the end of the month. In order to maintain their No. 1 spot in the league, they cannot lose every welfare game and must fight with all their strength in every tough battle.
At this moment, when thinking about the upcoming devilish schedule, Wang suddenly felt a little helpless, and at the same time he missed the beautiful schedule at the beginning of the game.
"Oh, as expected, you will have to pay it back sooner or later if you come out to hang out."
…
…
After two days of rest, the Trail Blazers began a three-game road trip.
On January 8, Wang Zelin and his teammates came to the coast of Miami, which is the warmest place in winter in the United States.
Since January happens to be the best time of the year for Miami to travel, in the game that night, even though their opponent, the Miami Heat, had only a record of 15 wins and 20 losses in history, it was basically clear that they would miss the Eastern Conference playoffs, but today at the American Airlines Arena
It was still packed at night, with nearly 20,000 players sitting in their seats early, waiting for the game to start.
In terms of personal performance, Wade has returned to the 20-point club this season and is currently averaging 21 4 3 per game.
Just based on the data, Wade seems to be in pretty good shape this year, which can be combined with the Heat's poor record at this time...
The Flash, who was once all-powerful, will never come back.
Unknowingly, another god in the alliance also came down the mountain.
At 20 o'clock in the evening, the battle begins.
The Blazers generals, who had received enough rest time and were in full physical condition, were in excellent condition tonight. In the first quarter, relying on Wang Zelin's inner strength, the Blazers scored 43 points in a single game and doubled the score.
The point difference widened to 21 points!
Obviously, this score difference is something that no one can imagine.
After all, both sides are last year's championship and runner-up teams, and even though the Heat are missing LeBron James, the outside world still feels that tonight should be a popular game.
Unfortunately, reality is very skinny.
Wang Zelin played the first quarter and became more and more happy in the paint. He made 10 of 13 shots and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block in a single quarter, once again dominating the game.
In fact, the Blazers team's outburst tonight makes sense.
After learning that the team was going to go through a devilish schedule and that the opponents in the first game were not that good...
It can only be said that time is fate. Facing the Blazers, a group of fierce men like wolves and tigers, the Heat are forced to lay down their guns. Apart from obediently cooperating with various postures, what can they do?
