With three wins, Adrian was once again elected Rookie of the Week. With his gradually recovering performance during this period, he scored 32 points against the Raptors, 34 points against the Trail Blazers and 2 points against the Grizzlies.
With 18 points, Kobe also won the honor of Player of the Week, although he has long been tired of this honor.
Then, here comes the Curse of the Week, twice as much!
The Lakers lost the next two games.
In the first game back at home, the Los Angeles Lakers faced the challenge of the Detroit Pistons at Staples Center. Then, at the Lakers' home court, the Detroit Pistons taught the financial aristocrats a lesson on what championship-level defense is.
The total score was 80-83, and the Lakers lost by three points. Judging from the score, this seemed to be a close confrontation, but the Lakers were a bit unlucky and poor in touch. The Lakers only made 18 three-pointers in the game.
In the second, Kobe shot 1 of 9 three-pointers. It seemed that as long as he hit two more three-pointers, the Lakers would win.
But Adrian, who personally participated in this game, understood that the final score was so close, not because the Lakers were unlucky, but because the Lakers were lucky.
From the first second of the game, as Billups stole the basketball from Adrian's hand, the game entered the Pistons' accustomed track, positional battles, muscle fights, and the Pistons used their own muscles to forge in front of the Lakers.
A Great Wall of flesh and blood was created, leaving all the Lakers generals to look forward to it and sigh.
On the other hand, the Lakers' defense was actually not very good, leaving too many opportunities for the Pistons in the game. If the Pistons hadn't been a little poor at seizing opportunities, and if their main scorer Hamilton hadn't played today,
If there was a hand problem in the half and he made zero of nine shots and only relied on free throws to score four points, the final result of the game would never have been so close.
Adrian scored 14 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, and blocked two shots. He is probably the point guard with the strongest shot blocking ability in the league. The data looks pretty good, but it is accompanied by
As many as 5 turnovers. Adrian was completely suppressed by Billups. Before this game, although Adrian had made mistakes, he never averaged more than 1.5 turnovers per game because his game was stable enough.
With the same strong body, terrifying wingspan, and the sophistication and experience that outshines Adrian, Billups really gave Adrian advice on why he is the Finals MVP!
If the loss to the Pistons at home can be used as an excuse because the score was very close, then there seems to be no excuse for the subsequent 20-point defeat to the Spurs. In this game, the Lakers
Whether inside or outside, they were completely suppressed by the Spurs.
Kobe Bryant was completely out of shape under the personal care of Bruce Bowen, the Spurs' perimeter defense expert, and his performance in the first three quarters was like sleepwalking. Although Adrian can play a role on the offensive end and Parker steals well, when it comes to defense, he has a lot of heart.
Powerless. But on the defensive end, facing the French sports car that had fully grown up, Adrian found that his proud physical fitness was not omnipotent, at least he could not keep up with Parker's lightning pace.
In this game, Adrian was blown away. Tony Parker scored 33 points and 7 assists and was elected the best of the game. Although Adrian also scored 22 points and 11 assists,
This is more because the Spurs put more energy into taking care of Kobe.
After the game, facing the media, Kobe said that his condition was not very good. An old elbow injury affected his performance, but he would adjust as soon as possible. Then, they welcomed the Golden State Warriors led by Nelson at home.
Team. The Lakers are still very confident when they play the Golden State Warriors. Before the game, Kobe Bryant also made bold statements that he would end his losing streak against the Warriors.
But Nelson tells you that he will never be the kind of guy who can be knocked down twice in the same pit. In the second half, the situation suddenly changed. There was a three-point rain on the court for the Lakers and a three-point rain created by the Warriors. In the second half,
Nelson lined up a lineup of five three-pointers on the court and used crazy three-point shooting tactics to beat the Lakers into a sieve.
In the end, relying on a crazy three-point offensive in the second half, the Warriors defeated the Lakers on the road with a score of 107:112 and took away a victory. After the best start of six consecutive victories, the Lakers embarrassingly ushered in three consecutive home games.
Defeated. Adrian was not beaten this time. His defense played a role in containing Baron Davis, the core of the Golden State Warriors, but it still could not prevent the team from losing.
After three consecutive losses, the Lakers' record after eleven games was seven wins and four losses, which is not bad, but it can't be called good either. Against the background of three consecutive losses, the advantage they had at the beginning of the season suddenly disappeared.
"Three consecutive losses, the Lakers are severely tested" The Los Angeles Times published a report after the Lakers lost to Nelson's Golden State Warriors at home. It pointed out that although the Lakers tied the 2010-2 season's best
The Lakers had a good start, but it was far from the time of revival. Facing the test of a strong team, the Lakers seemed at a loss. Once Kobe was restricted, there was no player who could stand up.
In particular, Adrian was criticized by name and he was considered to have lost the magic he had at the beginning of the season and his performance was becoming more and more mediocre.
The Portland Post even gloated and concocted a report with the title "Best Rookie Hits Rookie Wall". The article stated that Adrian's previous performance was just the result of a burst of luck, and now the burst period is over.
, Adrian's performance will gradually become mediocre.
"What a damn media." Refolding the newspapers spread out on the table, Adrian sighed slightly, and sighed helplessly. He had foreseen this situation for a long time, and the media was always used to it.
You have to adapt to the wind. When you play well, various honors, such as titles such as Jordan's successor, will be placed on your head even if you don't want to. But once you fall into a certain pit
Here, they will happily step on you ten thousand times so hard that you will never be able to stand up, not to mention if they catch a little pigtail...
Adrian had been mentally prepared for this situation, but when it really happened to him, Adrian still felt very uncomfortable. This feeling of being despised and looked down upon, this feeling that he was still feeling just a moment ago.
The center of the world, the feeling of falling into the abyss the next moment...
It’s no wonder that so many capable and potential new stars are unable to play. In addition to their own problems, the praise and praise of the media are also a major weapon that harms them. If you want to create a world of your own in the NBA, in addition to having
Strength, potential, but also a big heart, able to calmly deal with the storm created by the media.
A pair of catkins gently hugged Adrian's neck from behind, and sexy red lips kissed Adrian's shoulders. A pair of blurred blue eyes were full of lazy amorous feelings, and the passion just now made
She felt so weak and weak, but also indescribably wonderful: "Ignore the media. You are really great, Ed. You are the most powerful man I have ever seen."
Adrian smiled softly, grabbed the beauty behind him into his arms, placed one hand on the softness of Misha's chest and gently played with it, while saying in a teasing tone: "My lovely little Misha,
Which aspect are you talking about? Basketball? Or..."
"You are the best in every aspect." Enjoying Adrian's caress, a blush gradually appeared on Misha's snow-white skin: "You are the best in every aspect." Yao, although she had just been passionate, but in Misha's eyes
Under Sha's boast, Adrian couldn't help but react. Because she was pressed against Adrian's body, Misha was naturally very sensitive to changes in Adrian's certain parts, and she felt the hardening between her buttocks.
Misha couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, you're coming again, we just worked on it for two hours!"
"The nights are long and life is short." Adrian smiled proudly: "That's why we have to seize all the time, right?"
