() "The Nuggets are a strong opponent. Today our lineup is not neat, but the Nuggets' lineup is also not neat. They are missing Iverson and Jr. Smith. Kobe's absence has affected our outside attack power.
It has a huge impact. We never had to worry about this problem before. But Kobe's absence has unbalanced our offensive power. Fortunately, he was only suspended for one game."
"How does it feel to defend Anthony? Well, it's quite difficult. But compared to James, who is more difficult to defend, I can't make a judgment. Anthony's offensive power is stronger, while James is more comprehensive. But they are similar.
Both are flexible and full of power. Guarding them is not an easy task. To be honest, I don't want to guard either of them. If I could choose, I hope I will play against an amateur every night.
At least I don’t have to go home with sore bones all over my body. I’m excited to play against players of their level, but the physical demands are too severe.”
"Assist champion? Thank you, I'm not yet. Steve Nash has already won two assists champions and two regular season MVPs. His performance this year is still outstanding, although the Suns' injury situation is a bit serious.
, but I believe that after getting rid of the injuries, they are still one of the strong contenders for the championship, and Nash is also a strong contender for the mvp. Winning the mvp again? I think it is not impossible, of course, it depends on your decision.
"
"Of course I want to win the assist title. This is a very important honor. To put it bluntly, if I win it, I will also get a lot of bonuses. The competition with Nash will definitely be fierce. But I will work hard.
"
"Who is the best small forward in the league? There is no doubt about it. I would choose Scottie Pippen. Just like if you ask someone who is the best shooting guard, everyone will choose Michael Jordan.
Currently in the league? Let me think about it, there are too many powerful small forwards in the league, but if I really have to choose, I will choose Paul Pierce. Yes, he does not score the most points on my defense, but give me
But the feeling is the most difficult to defend. I can't figure out what he wants to do next. Of course, this may be my problem. You know. If you ask different defenders this question, they will have different answers.
Just like I would choose Paul Pierce without hesitation, if you ask another defender on the front line, you may get a different answer."
"How do I compare with James and the others? Come on, I am a point guard. You should look at my number. No. 1 is the number for point guards. It is more practical to put me together with them.
It’s very unfair to me.”
"This year's Rookie of the Year? Of course it's me. It's not something I can decide. That's what you all told me."
Although this is his first time attending a press conference, Adrian already has too much experience in dealing with reporters, not to mention that Phil Jackson is taking care of him. There is no need to worry about Adrian being temporarily insane.
What big news for reporters? At the press conference, Adrian was not surrounded by reporters.
Most reporters who often attend these press conferences follow the rules and understand that there are some questions that should not be asked and are inappropriate. Of course, it is inevitable that some strange people will sneak in for strange reasons and ask some strange questions.
Weird question.
For example, the reporter from a gossip tabloid who asked Adrian and Carmelo Anthony when they lost their virginity was directly asked out by security. It was just a little joke. I guess only people who are very gossipy would care about this kind of thing.
Most reporters' questions are relatively formal, asking "What do you think of this game?" "Do you think it is difficult to play against Anthony?" and "What are your pursuits this season?"
For relatively standard questions, occasionally there would be a few more pointed ones, and Adrian would talk to them indifferently, pretending to be dumb and taking over the topic.
Of course, he had his own opinion, and the media had their own reporting methods. So when Adrian saw the report with the following headline the next day, he said he was not surprised at all.
"The Arrogant Rookie Accuses Kobe Bryant of Impulsive Suspension Affecting the Whole Team"
The Sun's headlines are always so alarmist, and the content is always so fabricated. Of course, don't expect the Lakers to be shaken by this. After all, what did Adrian mean at the press conference? Who are the Lakers players?
We all know that we will not take seriously the reports of the third-rate newspapers, which are famous for being a gossip weekly. Even this incident has almost no impact among Lakers fans.
"The Lakers' twin stars praised 'Truth' and called him the league's number one small forward!"
There is no doubt that this is a pro-Celtics media. They naturally deleted the supplementary statement at the end of Adrian's statement and only took the first part. It means that Adrian praised Paul Pierce as the league's number one small forward.
"The Nuggets lineup is not complete, it will be difficult for us to win"
Of course, the local media in Denver wanted to whitewash the Nuggets. They naturally quoted these few sentences from Adrian's answer to reporters, and then announced without any psychological barriers that Adrian praised the Nuggets' strong lineup. If the lineup
It's hard to defeat this if you are all together.
Well, everyone can understand that the media makes a living by distorting words. For them, as long as it can stimulate sales, face, authenticity, etc., it’s just a cloud!
Of course, this will inevitably bring some trouble to Adrian.
"Adrian, you actually said that Paul Pierce is the number one small forward in the league." LeBron James also praised Paul Pierce as a "difficult guy" in an interview with the media, but at the end of the media interview
He called Adrian immediately afterwards: "You know, I'm very angry, very, very angry."
"Okay James, stop making such jokes, you should know what I mean. Cameron didn't even make such a joke to me." Adrian complained helplessly: "You are not the first time.
One day I saw what those media can do.”
After defeating the Nuggets in an away game, the Lakers' next schedule is not strict, and the opponents they face are easy. More importantly, Kobe Bryant returned after a one-game suspension and showed a terrifying state.
Scored 40+ points in each game and scored 30+ points in six consecutive games. This allowed the Lakers to usher in six consecutive victories after losing to the Mavericks. Although they subsequently lost to the Rockets and Warriors, they only lost three games in the entire month of March.
The horrific state of the game is still shocking. In addition to the Mavericks and Spurs, the Lakers are also the team with the best record in March. The Mavericks and Spurs are competing for the final ranking of the playoffs in the critical month of March.
They all showed a terrifying state. In the total of fifteen games in March, the Spurs and Mavericks won 13 of them respectively, and only lost two. The Mavericks and Spurs, two Texas giants, one
The Spurs have quietly reached the second place in the Western Conference, with the sun shining on their backs like a thorn in their backs.
However, the Spurs lost to the Suns in the mid-month game, which caused them to lose their best chance to surpass the Suns, but they also successfully opened up the gap with the fifth-ranked Rockets.
Relatively speaking, the Suns' performance was a little less dazzling. The Suns lost to the Mavericks, Pistons and Nuggets in March. After that, they were forced to lose by the Kings in two back-to-back games.
1:1 tie, and even lost a game to Nelson's Warriors. In addition to the loss to the 76ers at the beginning of March, nine wins and six losses in fifteen games is nothing for third place in the Western Conference.
What a good result.
This allowed the Spurs to maintain pressure on the Suns and could overtake them at any time. It also allowed the Lakers to successfully widen the winning gap between them and the Suns, temporarily consolidating their second place in the Western Conference.
At the end of March, Adrian undoubtedly won another Rookie of the Month trophy. His data, his status with the Lakers and the Lakers' terrifying explosive growth this season made no one think that this was the case.
The Rookie of the Year award will go elsewhere.
What the media is now concerned about is, where can Adrian rank on the regular season MVP rankings?
A rookie, competing for regular season MVP!
It may sound like a fantasy, but some people do think that Adrian is qualified to compete for this year's regular season mvp. It's hard to say exactly what ranking he can get, but he must have the qualifications. In fact, the person with the highest demand for mvp this year is the Mavericks.
The leading superstar is German Dirk Nowitzki. He is very likely to become the first European mvp since the establishment of NBA. His averages of 26.6 points and 9.0 rebounds per game are very convincing, not to mention Dallas Jr.
Niu is proud of the league's record.
In addition, the competition between Adrian and Nash for the assist king has also reached a fever pitch. In March, his statistics increased again, averaging 17 points and 13.4 assists per game, which made his season statistics
The statistics have gone up a bit. Now in the assists list, Adrian ranks second with 11 assists per game. There is only 0.4 assists per game between him and Steve Nash, who averages 11.4 assists per game.
.With ten games left in the regular season, it is not impossible for Adrian to catch up or even surpass Steve Nash. (To be continued.)
ps: Let’s see if we can return to normal today. Maybe we can make up for what we lacked yesterday.
