The strength rankings for the first week came out, and the Lakers were ranked at the front, but the good times did not last long. NBA teams will not let you continue to win consecutively so easily. Yes, everyone knows that your Lakers team is currently very defensive.
Damn, everyone admits this, but this kind of team is not uncommon in the league. For example, when the Grizzlies were at their peak a few years ago, they only allowed their opponents to score 89+ points per game. For example, the Chicago Bulls have always been a super team since 2010.
At a slow pace, Thibodeau led the team. In the peak 11-12 season, the opponent only averaged 88.2 points per game in the regular season, and only 86 points in the playoffs! However, neither of these two teams has won a championship. No,
They haven’t even made it to the finals. This means that defense is not good???
NO~
First, the main offensive players of both teams are too poor, including Rose. He was suppressed in too many games in the playoffs, and his shooting percentage is impossible to see. If Kobe’s shooting percentage of about 45% is that of Milan’s small outside line
Blacksmith, then Rose's field goal percentage has been below 40% for many years since his peak, only starting at 30% ~ He is still a player who mainly focuses on breakthroughs... You will know what real "iron" is! The iron has reached a new height.
.So their offensive ability is actually not very good. What did the Bulls do in 1998? Wasn't it just that they defended desperately in the playoffs to slow down the rhythm, and finally Jordan broke the game in isolation. It's a pity that Rose can't bear this burden. Another team
The Grizzlies are pretty much the same. I don’t know if the team with the strongest scoring ability averages 20+ per game.
Second, Larry Brown can tell you with confidence that the defense of these two teams is only okay, not extremely strong. When you reach the point where your defense is truly extremely strong, it doesn’t matter whether the opponent is a Galaxy or not.
, you have to shed your skin, you have to kneel. This is really not a boast. The Pistons' strongest season in the playoffs only allowed their opponents to average 80+ points per game. What is the difference between 80 points and 89 points and 86 points?
The difference! These are the team's average data per game. 1~2 points is a big difference. What's more, according to the pyramid principle, it is more difficult to improve as you go further. If you want to improve to 60 points in the test, and if you want to improve to 90 points in the test,
Completely two different things.
So Larry Brown has no doubts about his coaching plan.
However, "retribution" also came quickly. The Lakers did not occupy the top spot for a few days and were quickly beaten. On November 6, the Lakers lost the game against the Brooklyn Nets away from home.
.It’s not that they didn’t play well defensively. They did a very good job and only allowed their opponents to score 91 points in the game. This is definitely acceptable in the rhythm of this era. So why did they still lose in the end?
The answer is ready to come out.
Score.
The emergence of scoring problems caused them to lose to the Barclays Center Arena. The whole team only scored 77 points in total. Although they surpassed the opponent in rebounds and blocks, no one scored 20 points, which was also a flaw.
But even a strong NBA team will always have a few bad nights in a long season. No one will say anything if they don't play well in a game.
There is still basic tolerance, after all, basketball players are not robots.
Some people even don't understand why Larry Brown got so angry after the game and think he is too harsh.
But the fact is that the Lakers actually lost to the New York Knicks in the next game! And the way they lost was exactly the same as the previous game. They lost because of their own poor scoring. And they scored 77 points in the last game. This game
Well, it directly turned into 69 points. Except for Jimmy Butler who scored 23 points by relying on free throws, Bosh only scored 15 points. The rest were even more pitiful. Nick Young had 6 points, Randall had 5 points, and Ariza had 5 points.
Points, Pierce 9 points, Yi Jianlian 4 points, Rondo 2 points. A total of 69 points. The team's overall shooting percentage was less than 40%, 28 of 74, only 37.8%, and only 27.3% of three-pointers.
The team's true shooting percentage is 42%. It is too difficult to win with such a shooting percentage. Even if they only allowed the Knicks to score 85 points.
This made many media immediately see the "carrion", and they immediately began to criticize after the game:
The Grizzlies and Bulls have both been forced to transform this season, and the Lakers are going further and further down the road of seeking death.
Yes, their defense is indeed very good, but they just can't win the ball.
Larry Brown instilled in the Lakers a wrong team building mentality. This is a team system that has been eliminated by the times.
Two consecutive losses are just the beginning, and the scoring problem will only become more serious as it is targeted in the future.
I think the Lakers will become the bottom team in the Western Conference this month. This style of play can win the first few games because it is completely unexpected. When the rest of the league adjusts, they will be finished.
Anthony became New York's hero tonight. Although he only shot 40% from the field, he scored 6 points in a row when the team started to gain momentum, causing the Lakers to suddenly lose the favor of the goddess of victory.
No matter how good the defense is, what's the use? If you can't score, you'll still lose if you're offensive.
However, some media and celebrities also stood up and said:
The Lakers are still adjusting in these games. During the Pistons' championship season, it took more than ten games to adjust before they entered the state. The running-in was completed. Their defense has been improving, and it is not a sudden performance.
Because the rhythm has slowed down, the position attack will increase. At this time, it is very necessary to rely on team ability or star ability. The Lakers have just changed their playing system this season, and their team ability has not reached that level, and their star players currently do not have it.
He has played in the game, so it is too early to draw conclusions now.
I think the addition of Dongfang Bang is the core momentum of the Lakers team, just like the Ark Reactor on Iron Man's chest! With him, the Lakers team is the real Iron Man!
At this time, it also explains what it means to have a leaky house and a rainy night. The restless No. 16 rookie D'Angelo Russell has not played a single second of playing time in several games, so he has deep feelings for the team about the situation.
The head coach's resentment is getting bigger and bigger. No, he actually said publicly in an interview with the media after the game that the team was completely wasting resources by doing this. He is the one who can help the team win. If the team doesn't continue to win,
Give him a chance, and it will only slide further and further into the trough.
At the same time, he also said that he thinks he has enough strength to compete for this year's Rookie of the Year. What he lacks is a stage.
As long as you give it to him, he will impress everyone.
But the emotional intelligence of these words is too low. He is the one who helps the team win. How do you let so many well-known players on the team deal with themselves? Are Bosh and Butler just decorations? In addition, his words are also sarcastic.
What does Rondo mean now that the team is starting at No. 1? No matter how you listen to it, you feel that Rondo is not a point guard who can bring victory to the team. In the end, his self-righteous words even angered Larry Brown, which made the old man directly
During the team training on the second day, he pointed at Russell's nose and started scolding him. The latter was not convinced. If the Lakers players hadn't arrived quickly, the situation would have escalated.
Tang Qian didn't see this scene because he was called to the general manager's office. He would have passed his suspension period in the next game. Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka and deputy general manager Bonnie La.
Flynn expressed concern and asked him to undergo an examination by the team's chief physician Gary Vitti after the conversation. Originally, Gary Vitti was planning to take a break after working for the year, but because of "Magician's" request, he was asked to
He signed another five-year contract.
The content of this contract is very clear.
Focus on taking care of Lakers No. 29’s body.
Who did this belong to before? Who can get this treatment? Yes, Gary Vitti understood at a glance. This was to ask him to take good care of Dongfang Fang, just like he took good care of the "Black Mamba" before.
This also shows that Lakers No. 29 is really starting to become a non-saleable asset of the Los Angeles Lakers. Otherwise, "Magic", the current president of team operations, will never personally explain it to him.
What does Gary Vitti think about it? He thinks that the management's choice this time may be correct. He also thinks that the Easterner has a promising future. However, there is one saying of "Magic" that he agrees with, that is, No. 29 no matter what
Said, he is also a yellow, an Oriental, and an Asian. This situation is not racial discrimination, but after several years of competitive wear and tear in the NBA career, they are more prone to injuries than black players and white players.
Question. You, like Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, etc., are all like this. If Jeremy Lin opens his eyes, it will be the same.
In this way, "Magic" is still very far-sighted, and he is also dedicated to the Lakers No. 29.
For this reason, Tang Qian was not in the Toyota Sports Center that day. Otherwise, in Nick Young's words, it is very likely that this kid from Kentucky who does not know "respect the old and love the young" would eat a mouthful of shit.
There are also some who are more "bad". For example, Jimmy Butler, who has suffered a loss, said "sinfully": "Don't worry about him, anyway, if this kind of person is jumping around in the team, sooner or later he will alert the Eastern tyrant."
Yes, since he is a tyrant, he will naturally sanction this kind of thing. Why should we interfere?" And Nick Yang, who knew what he said, looked at him and said: "I think you have been unlucky yourself, so you can't do it.
You want to see with your own eyes the misfortune of others. You are such a loser!"
As if what Nick Young said was right, Butler's face turned slightly red, otherwise luckily the black man couldn't see it, and muttered: "How can I not, I never thought about it..." Before he finished saying "Young Master Yang"
Another "magic twist": "Don't worry, we are comrades on the same front now, let alone you. I also really want to see how he behaves after he gets angry." Nick Yang fantasized while thinking.
Said: "I wonder if I will be beaten up or just thrown out like Boozer? Hey, my little heart, I am really looking forward to it."
M.D~You are also a bad guy~~~No better than me~~~
Butler secretly complained after hearing this: But what the hell is a gay? He has become a proletarian now???
On November 10, 2015, U.S. time, the day before Tang Qian’s birthday, the Lakers’ seventh game of the regular season began. They faced the Miami Heat at home. The Lakers’ current record is 3 wins and 3 losses, and they have fallen out of the league.
The top eight in the Western Conference. Many people will pay attention to this game, and there is only one main reason: No. 29 of the Zijin Army is about to make a comeback.
Everyone wants to open their eyes and see if this Oriental center has made any progress this offseason.
Some people say that Tang Qian worked hard during the offseason and his body became stronger. Others say that Tang Qian spent the offseason eating and drinking and having sex, so his figure has gained weight and is out of shape. The big ring is just "
"Weak flesh". Just like the "powder keg" center of the Kings this season, gaining weight like this is a retarded act.
Well, it’s worth mentioning that this season the Kings’ “cousin” Cousins has also gained a crazy weight of 300+ pounds. It is said that the detailed number has reached 308 pounds! It looks awesome, but the actual results are, yes,
But compared with what was lost, it was not worth the gain. His speed, explosiveness and lateral movement have dropped a lot. The most important thing is that his original hand skills in the inside are very average, and his finishing shooting rate at the basket is even worse than that of outside players.
Therefore, this weight gain is completely wrong and unnecessary. It does not match his playing style at all. In addition, it is difficult for his body to bear this kind of tonnage, whether it is a weak body with relatively high body fat or a solid body.
His pure muscles were not bad. His body couldn't bear it. He realized this problem during the offseason of the original time and space, and immediately carried out crazy weight loss, losing almost 40 pounds in a few months!!! But on
The loss in one season was still too great, resulting in serious injuries and reimbursement in the following season.
His tonnage is still incomparable to Tang Qian's. In order to gain weight quickly, it resulted in too much "weak meat" in the upper body. This kind of meat with a large proportion of fat will not necessarily have a hindering effect in the NBA.
The effect is smaller than the improvement. Furthermore, even some fans can see that Cousins looks a bit "bloated" this season.
Normally speaking, if you have pure muscles, your figure will not be linked to "bloat". After all, he is also a 211cm inside player. This can only show that his weight gain during the offseason is a bit of a waste, and he is only focusing on quantity but not quantity.
I'm asking for quality. What about Tang Qian? Will he be the same as Cousins? Of course it's impossible. He really "gained weight" rather than "gained fat". This is the case with ace trainer Tim Gerrard.
Lover personally gave a nod of approval, and also told Tang Qian personally that if your current body does not consider the limit of endurance and damage, it is comparable to O'Neal during the Magic period. Or even... worse.
Even stronger.
After all, in terms of upper body strength alone, he is no longer comparable to the "Big Shark" of the Magic era. Even O'Neal in his peak period is the same. In terms of upper body strength, Tang Qian has reached the top in history.
So he also said when being interviewed by reporters:
I can't wait to play.
I have changed a lot, and everyone will know how big it is in eight and a half hours.
Suggestion... everyone buys and we win.
Tang Qian didn't know that his words and this season would also push forward the legalization of NBA betting.
The little butterfly is getting stronger and stronger.
