I really just want to be a role player Chapter 629: He is absent! Oh, the thick eyebrows are very crisp, this is a talent from the beginning to the end!
Chapter 629: He is absent! Oh, the thick eyebrows are very crisp, this is a talent from the beginning to the end!
After losing to the Grizzlies at the end of the month, the Lakers dropped from the top spot in the rankings and ended November's Little Devils schedule with an impressive record of 12 wins and 2 losses.
December 1st is the Lakers off-season and the team has a holiday.
As soon as I open and close my eyes, a day passes.
The Lakers, who have no games, have become the biggest team on the list.
The question is that the Spurs and Grizzlies met, and the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies were defeated.
After this battle, both sides became 12 wins and 3 losses.
At the same time, the Heat had a 6-game winning streak and improved their record to 12 wins and 3 losses. They defeated the Nets on December 1.
The Knicks, who had an amazing start with a winning streak, lost a lot in the Southwest Division and lost to the Nets in the same city derby. Their record became 12 wins and 4 losses, and they have begun to fall behind.
On the other hand, the Thunder showed their style as the defending champions, defeating the Hornets in the first game on December 2, achieving a record of 13 wins and 4 losses, temporarily knocking the Lakers out of the top spot.
The Lakers didn't panic. December 2 was game day, and their opponents still traded Howard and chose to rebuild the Magic team for the future.
Ranked are Nick Lavucevic, Glen Davis, Maurice Harkless, Aaron Afflalo, and Nelson Jr.
In this five-tiger lineup, no one can play.
The Lakers are at home and have already defeated the Magic.
When the game started, in the first three quarters, the Lakers did exactly what they expected, and they steadily controlled the situation on the court.
Both sides are playing happy basketball, and the points are flying high.
After all, the Magic are in trouble and the Lakers are chasing the championship. The two sides are playing different games and not eating at the same table.
At the end of the first three quarters, the Lakers did not use any force and only beat the Magic with a score of 79 to 75, leading by only 4 points.
However, in the fourth quarter, the Magic found their shooting touch.
This team used to play a one-star, four-shooter tactic.
When this "one star" is gone, the remaining "four stars" are still in the formation.
The way the Magic win is to draw their opponents into their shooting rhythm, and then defeat their opponents with their rich shooting experience.
Vucevic was the 16th overall pick in 2011. After Howard left, the Magic chose to make him their boss.
In the first three quarters, Vucevic showed a strain on his hips. He made 1 of 4 in the first half, 2 of 5 in the third quarter, and 3 of 9 shots. In addition, he shot from the outside. His style of play was very soft. He did not make any free throws and only scored 6 goals.
point.
However, in the fourth quarter, Vucevic suddenly found his shooting feeling, and played pick-and-roll tactics with Nelson Jr., calling Paul by name, which is called one shot and one shot. He made 5 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored in a single quarter.
12 points.
Glen Davis is only good at rushing to the basket to eat cakes. In the fourth quarter, he also found the touch of mid-range shooting, making 3 of 4 shots and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 9 points in a single quarter.
The Magic's inside offense is alive and well, I can't tell the difference anymore...it's all outside offense!
Anyway, no matter how you shoot, the Magic's offense was full of firepower. They scored 40 points in a single quarter and caught the Lakers off guard. In the last 5.8 seconds, Aaron Afflalo hit a dry shot over Kobe's head.
With a three-pointer, the Magic took a 2-point lead with a score of 117-115.
There was not much time left for the Lakers, and the camera on the court fell on Kobe and Su Bei.
One can shoot a two-pointer to send the game into overtime, and one can shoot a three-pointer to kill the game.
Will it be a sure shot?
Compared to victory or defeat, this choice actually attracted more attention!
"Chris Paul turned over Su Bei's card, is he going to beat the Magic with a three-pointer?
What the hell?
Su Bei caught the ball, pulled it up and shot... No, this was a pass. Kobe used Gasol's screen and reverse running to cut to the basket. He jumped high in the penalty area and connected with Su Bei.
, alley-oop, almost dunking the damn basketball into the basket at the buzzer..."
Bang-dang——!
Su Bei made a fake shot and passed the ball, assisting Kobe Bryant for a slam dunk, which tied the Magic.
Not only Kobe, but also Su Bei has taken action. He wants both!
The "dead-on combination" teamed up to destroy the Magic's idea of an upset victory over the Lakers.
Sure enough, entering overtime, the serious Lakers did not give the Magic any chance and beat the Magic with a score of 13 to 5.
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounded, the red light came on, and the full game time ended. The score was 130 to 122. With an 8-point advantage in overtime, the Lakers defeated the Magic and regained the lost position as the top player on the list.
came back.
Su Bei and Kobe scored 58 points together, Kobe scored 38 points, and Su Bei scored 20 points. Rounded up, the average score was 30 points, which was a pretty good performance.
Afflalo made 12 of 19 shots and scored 32 points. Glen Davis made 8 of 15 shots and 8 of 9 free throws. He scored 24 points and 12 rebounds, plus Nelson Jr.'s 20 points and 14 assists, and Vucevic 15
He made 8 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 20 points and 12 rebounds. His shooting efficiency was a highlight.
No wonder they pushed the Lakers to a dead end. There was no pressure on them to shoot. It didn't matter whether they won or lost. They felt great and they really killed the game inexplicably.
In the NBA, there are always stories of teams that are late and beat the leaders. It seems that it is not just a coincidence!
The surprise given by the Magic is not a bad thing. It serves as a reminder to the Lakers, so that the Lakers know how to deal with opponents and not to easily hold back or look down upon any opponent.
December 4th, still at the Staples Center Arena.
The second game against the Rockets.
Kobe was on full fire. In the duel with Harden, he made 14 of 31 shots, 2 of 9 three-pointers, and 9 of 12 free throws. He scored 39 points, 5 assists, and 6 rebounds, leading the Lakers to a 115-107 victory over the Rockets.
Team.
Under Kobe's watch, Harden made 3 of 19 shots and 0 of 6 three-pointers. Only with 9 of 11 free throws, Harden did not make the data so ugly. He only scored 15 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. If he hadn't grabbed a few more
A board is really nothing.
The Rockets did not lose unjustly. The cornerstone was beaten like this. They had already made money by not being brutally beaten. What else could they do?
The Lakers, who have won two consecutive games, continue to consolidate their position as the top player on the list.
The two-game winning streak is coming, will it be too late for the three-game winning streak?
No!
It won't be too late.
On December 5, the Lakers had back-to-back away games to challenge the New Orleans Hornets.
There was no suspense, the Lakers fought without a fight, beating the Hornets by 18 points with a score of 105-87, extending their winning streak to 3 games.
Davis Anthony, the No. 1 pick in 2012, immediately showed his terrifying talent during his rookie season.
He was actually absent!
Oh wow, sure enough, thick eyebrows and a very fragile body are a talent from the beginning to the end!
Does this turn brittleness into talent?
If they were not crispy, thick eyebrows would be extremely powerful in the small ball era.
Without the cornerstone of thick eyebrows, the Hornets didn't even have the chance to get an upset.
The question is, is it not a team that eats at the same table as the Lakers?
At the start of the season in December, the Lakers were relatively relaxed, winning three consecutive games.
However, on December 7, the Lakers finally met an elite team.
The next opponent is...
"Team Thunder!
I didn’t expect that we would meet each other so soon!”
When flying to Oklahoma City, Su Bei felt a little bit, but his face was very calm.
After all, after being nomadic for so long and having so many old clubs, each one feels sad. Wouldn’t it be very tiring to play for a few more years and be surrounded by old clubs?
Moreover, Su Bei has brought championship talent there, so he doesn't owe them anything, so it naturally seems very easy.
7th, Chesapeake Energy Arena.
As night falls, the home court of the Thunder is about to usher in the regular game of the Lakers. The lights are bright and there is a sea of people.
Subei stepped into the stadium again and immediately felt the cheers and applause of the home fans.
This is to welcome him home!
Also, before Su Bei came, the Thunder were not the championship team!
Su Bei entered the arena and immediately greeted the home fans.
The applause and cheers also lasted for a long time.
During the warm-up, Su Bei and Lei Lei chatted about a few cents.
After all, Su Bei gave Durant the opportunity to drink foot-washing water. I don’t know whether he drank it or not, but Su Bei created opportunities for Durant.
Durant was naturally filled with gratitude, "Thank you!" It's hard to say this out loud, but you can still do it by saying a few nice words.
Later, Kobe also came over and added a few cents extra.
This is a business ritual, and not a single link should be missing.
Naturally, Fisher is indispensable for this excitement.
After Billups won the championship with the Thunder, he naturally needed more money to renew his contract.
The Thunder couldn't even keep Harden, so they naturally chose the cheaper Fisher.
At this time, the big screen in the arena also showed the lineups of both teams tonight.
The Thunder's top five, Perkins, Ibaka, Durant, Sefolosha.
Kevin Martin takes over from Harden and plays as the 6th man.
Lakers five players, Jordan Hill, Gasol, Su Bei, Kobe, Paul.
This game was broadcast live on TNT. Barkley partnered with Kenny Smith and invited O'Neal and Jeff Van Gundy to form a four-person commentary team.
“The Thunder’s draft vision is unique!
Although Harden, the third overall pick, is gone, Ibaka has grown into the team's defensive core, and his statistics are not bad, averaging 13 points and 8 baskets per game.
There is also Reggie Jackson, a rookie who also shows great talent. If it weren't for Westbrook, he would definitely be able to put up good statistics.
It's just a pity that the Thunder are still a small team after all. They obviously have the capital to create a dynasty, but they were eliminated because of money problems.
It is even very possible that the Thunder sometimes want to spend money, but players like Su Bei are not willing to stay."
"With the two young Thunder players, their lower limit is also very high!
But the upper limit depends on the growth of Du Shao and Westbrook?
Although the Thunder's strength is slightly weakened compared to the previous schedule, if I had to guess a winning rate, I hope it will be 60-40.
Thunder six, Lakers four!”
"Indeed!
The Thunder are in good shape now and have won 6 games in a row.
The team is very mature in terms of tactics and player framework.
In terms of running-in, the Lakers are still far inferior to the Thunder that passed the test of last season's championship.
Plus it's the home court, so it's reasonable to start on June 4th.
However, this is Kobe's team, and the odds are nothing to him.
It also depends on how the stars from both sides perform on the field..."
The game has begun.
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high into the air. Ibaka defeated Jordan Hill and won the first possession of the ball for the Thunder.
Durant quickly rushed to the frontcourt, and Su Bei followed closely.
Kobe Bryant defends Sefolosha.
Westbrook controls the ball in the frontcourt, and Paul leads the defense.
“In the first round, let’s see how the Thunder play?
Oh, Westbrook didn't blindly act like a reckless person, but passed the damn basketball to Durant.
Su Bei immediately pressed close, what the hell? Durant swayed from side to side twice, pulled up and shot, then raised his hand and hit a three-point pull-up jumper..."
He's 2.11 meters tall and still plays small forward. This talent is simply evil!
Su Bei's single defense is not invincible, but in the face of talent, it is useless and can only listen to the sound of gunshots.
Bang-dang——!
"No hit!
Durant is still overconfident!
It's so unreasonable to shoot a three-pointer as soon as he steps up on the court. The basket doesn't tolerate him and refuses his goal.
The basketball hoop flew out.
Alas, the Thunder's offense was not over yet. Ibaka squeezed Gasol away, grabbed the offensive rebound, and immediately jumped up to hit the shot after landing. And... no, still missed.
I'll grab it!
Ibaka is so talented that he can quickly get the missed basketball back, and then continue to shoot again..."
Beep——!
Swish——!
At the same time as the basketball was sent into the basket, the whistle sounded, and Gasol's thug was awarded a foul. The goal was valid, and Ibaka still had the opportunity to add a penalty.
“Well done!
Ibaka started with a score of 2 1.
The advantage in rebounding, is this the confidence that Durant dares to take casual shots..."
Swish——!
At the free throw line, Ibaka was given a question and made the extra free throw, giving the Thunder a 3-point lead.
