() The Lakers don't care about the outcome of this game. Their only pursuit is to help Adrian get assists so that he can get the first one in his life in his first season.
The assist king has almost no pursuit of winning or losing. But the Bucks have no pursuit of anything.
Both sides are competing with almost nothing to gain, so naturally it is impossible for this game to become intense.
Adrian is still starting at the point guard position. Before the start of today's game, Phil Jackson has already said that today he will have sufficient playing time and all the ball rights. Kobe is more willing to give up his singles rights.
, in this game, all the ball rights were given to Adrian to control, and he tried his best to let Adrian win the honor of assists king.
In the regular season, Kobe has nothing to pursue. He has already locked up the scoring crown this season with an average of 35.4 points per game. Even if he does not score a point in this game, it will be difficult for him to be the scoring champion.
shake.
And unlike Kobe, who barely led his team into the playoffs in history, this season the Lakers achieved an impressive record of second place in the Western Conference, second only to the Dallas Mavericks. In the competition for the mvp rankings, he also competed with the Dallas Mavericks.
Star player Dirk Nowitzki is on par.
Now Kobe is very proud, and of course he doesn't mind helping his younger brother gain honors.
Adrian's idea of winning the assist title was decisively speculated by the media from the first minute of the game.
However, assists are not like scoring. You can score high points by yourself. In addition to the players themselves, the assists data must hand the basketball to the right person at the right time. The person who catches the ball and takes the shot also needs to be strong.
Only then.
Although the Lakers generals are united in wanting to help Adrian achieve the next assists title, this should not be a very difficult thing. After all, the Bucks' own defense is not very good, and it has been frustrating this season.
If they pursue a better record, their defense will definitely become more relaxed because of this. In fact, this is indeed the case. The Bucks' defense is full of flaws.
But after the start, the Lakers felt very bad, almost as if they had just been taken out of the refrigerator, and the sound of banging iron could not be heard. Adrian's hard pass, almost completely controlled the ball. And it was the Lakers'
Even though most of the players who received his passes would choose to take action directly, Adrian still only got four assists. On the contrary, he himself scored 8 points before the end of the first quarter with his piecemeal scoring.
Adrian was extremely depressed.
The Lakers, relying on their extremely poor touch, also managed to trail the Bucks by five points at 22:27. The situation was still not good in the second quarter. Adrian frequently passed threatening balls and the timing of the passes was mastered.
Very good, most teammates who receive his passes have good offensive opportunities.
However, the ability of the Lakers to seize offensive opportunities today is so bad that they can surpass the amateur team. On the contrary, they did a good job in grabbing offensive rebounds, and they also scored a lot in the second offense after grabbing the offensive rebound. But after grabbing the offensive rebound,
The second attack will not be counted as an assist from Adrian.
At the end of halftime, the Lakers were already trailing the Bucks by double digits, 45:55.
The Lakers themselves don't care about falling behind the Bucks. This is a game that is not worth being happy about if they win, and nothing worth caring about if they lose. However, Adrian has only seven assists so far.
The Lakers generals have a huge headache!
There is no doubt that if Adrian's assists cannot exceed 20, tonight, the free party that Adrian promised will be ruined. This is unacceptable to the Lakers. Now the Lakers all know that Adrian is rich.
, can be called the new darling of advertisers. Player contracts are nothing to him. The endorsement contract signed with Adidas earns more than most players.
Therefore, the NBA fanatics headed by Kwame Brown are eager to kill Adrian, a rich and handsome man in the basketball world. How can they tolerate this great opportunity being missed? In addition,
Before the game started, they clapped their chests so loudly, as if Adrian breaking the record was all about them. If Adrian couldn't break the record in the end, wouldn't this slap them in the face?
Even Kobe was a bit embarrassed. To be fair, Adrian also passed some good balls to him in the first half. The chances were good. Normally, if not guaranteed, there was at least half the chance. But today his touch was not too good.
Okay, so far, I have no data other than hitting a mid-range shot and scoring two points, let alone supporting Adrian to become the assist leader.
Kobe was an extremely proud man. Although Adrian didn't say anything, he felt that his dignity had been challenged. So in the second half, after the Lakers generals discussed it during the halftime break, they did it even more thoroughly in the second half!
Grab the defensive rebound and hand it to Adrian. Grab the offensive rebound and hand it to Adrian. After the steal, hand it to Adrian. Send the inbound ball to Adrian, even if he obviously has a direct attack on the basket.
The chance to win the basket should also be given to Adrian to make a transition!
The media was almost dumbfounded, and the audience was almost dumbfounded. It’s not like there is no such thing as assists in this world. To be honest, assists are given in order to be the king of assists, and points are given in order to be the king of scorers. These well-informed fans, well-informed sports
Most reporters have experienced it personally.
But no matter who it is, they have never seen it done so blatantly.
The Lakers generals were a little worried when they helped Adrian get assists like that before, and they were just like thieves with their faces covered. Now they just didn't even cover their faces and just waved the knife and robbed!
"What is this?" a media reporter asked with a wry smile and shook his head.
"Give me assists." Another media reporter spread his hands with the same wry smile.
Then the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Well, with the selfless and almost shameless help of the Lakers generals, and with the Lakers generals not caring about winning or losing the game, Adrian's assists skyrocketed like a rocket, and finally in the fourth quarter
, before the referee blew the final whistle of the game, Adrian's total assists reached 26, which was also the highest single-game assists Adrian had ever received since entering the league. Of course, the Lakers also lost in the end.
this game.
If it hadn't been for the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, Adrian couldn't stand the intense attention of the audience and chose to take a rest. His assists would probably have exceeded the 30 mark in the end!
Of course, this assist is abnormal, meaningless, and does not help the team's victory. The fact that the Lakers lost to the weak Bucks by 22 points is the best proof. In fact, this
It's already because the Lakers are much stronger than the Bucks, and the Bucks' defense is really bad, otherwise the final score gap would definitely be more than that.
But the Lakers don't care. All the Lakers generals who lost the game were as elated as if they had won. Although the assist was unprecedented, it was still an assist and was still within the league's statistical range. Therefore, Ah
Derian still has 925 total assists, averaging 11.708 assists per game, surpassing Steve Nash's 884 total assists, averaging 11.64 per game, successfully ranking first in the assists per game list this season, league 06-07
Successfully won the season assists title.
"The Youngest Assist Leader in History"
As a local media in Los Angeles and a staunch supporter of the Los Angeles Lakers, the "Los Angeles Post" first congratulated Adrian on winning the assists title in his rookie season, while emphasizing that he is the youngest player in history and the only
Twenty years old.
"His future is limitless, and the sky is his limit!" At the end of the full article, the Los Angeles Post used such an old-fashioned compliment as a summary of the full article. I wonder if the editor of the Los Angeles Post sports section felt teeth.
Sore.
"Shameless Thief"
The local media in Phoenix clearly joined the black Adrian camp, accusing the entire Lakers team of being unsportsmanlike, unsportsmanlike, and a naked rape rule. They even suggested that the league cancel Adrian.
He has the qualification to be the assist king, handing the assist king to 'the person the league should give it to', rather than 'a villain who exploits loopholes in the rules' like Adrian.
Such remarks have also gained a certain amount of support, but no one thinks that this thing is really possible. When David Robinson scored 71 points in a single game for the scoring champion, did the league disqualify him from being the scoring champion?
Since it didn't happen in the beginning, it certainly isn't possible now.
The two sides have clear flags and opposing positions, and a war of words is inevitable. Those who support Adrian believe that no matter how Adrian's assists in the last game came from, anyway, those are assists that comply with the league rules, as far as the rules are concerned
There is no question about Adrian's status as the assist leader.
At the same time, many people also cited the total assists. In terms of total assists in the season, Adrian's total assists in the season of more than 900 is indeed very convincing. They also do not deny that Adrian had some assists in his last game.
They were suspected of cheating on assists, but they also firmly refused to give up and said that Adrian was definitely qualified to be the assist leader.
The people who hate Adrian keep talking about Adrian's assists in the last game...because apart from this, they really can't find any other way to attack Adrian.
However, no matter how the media quarrels, as long as the league does not take a stand on this matter, in the end the assists champion trophy will still fall into Adrian's hands, and the Adidas bonus will still fall into Adrian's pocket.
