The data is leading in all aspects, but they still lose. What is the crux of the Lakers? ——TNT official website.

Without Dirk, the Mavericks still defeated the Los Angeles people in an away game. They explained what collective courage is! ——ESPN official website.

This season's Lakers team is really the focus of everyone's attention. They have formed the "Galaxy Battleship" and almost every move they make is the focus of attention of the American media.This also became one of the root causes of the Lakers' slump.

Excessive attention is not something ordinary NBA players can afford.

Many superstars and quasi-superstars have come to the City of Angels to realize how powerful this invisible pressure is. Let alone ordinary players, even stars of their level will be in danger of being crushed over time.

Big cities have their advantages, but naturally they also have their disadvantages. If you say that a team in a big city must be good, it must be because you have never played in the NBA.Unable to withstand this kind of pressure, it is not uncommon in history to be directly abolished. Do you really think that high exposure and high salary are so easy to earn?
The Los Angeles media is notoriously "tricky and mean", even in many cases, it does not distinguish between friend and foe.

On October 2012, 10, US time, the Lakers played back-to-back away games against the Portland Trail Blazers, and it was this game that opened up the Pandora of the Lakers this season.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the "Four Kings" of the Lakers were in place, ready to win the game and win the first season of the season.

The Lakers scored 26 points in the first quarter, Gasol scored 10 points alone, Howard also scored 7 points, Kobe Bryant 4 points, Nash 3 assists.It can be said that in the first quarter, the "Four Kings" of the Lakers all played well, and the feeling of running-in was obviously much stronger than yesterday's opening game.But helplessly, LaMarcus Aldridge of the Trail Blazers performed bravely. He made 8 of 6 shots in a single quarter, scored 12 points, and scored 4 personal assists at the same time. This made everyone in the Trail Blazers active. , 30-26 in a single quarter, but overwhelmed the Lakers by 4 points.

Tang Qian played 2 minutes in this quarter and got 4 rebounds.

In the second quarter of the game, when the Lakers were chasing points, a thunderbolt happened suddenly.

The team's starting point guard, Steve Nash, suffered a severe impact when he was defending inside, and fell to the Rose Garden court at that time, rolling around in pain.The chief team doctor of the Lakers, Gary Vitti, immediately stepped forward and took Nash back to the Lakers locker room.

Suddenly, it seemed like a dark cloud shrouded the Lakers' heads.

This is only the second game, and an absolute main force has been injured. No matter how you look at it, it is not an auspicious sign.

I just hope that the injury is not too serious.

Without Nash's operation and deployment, the Lakers immediately fell into a brief "panic".Fortunately, at this time, Kobe Bryant stepped forward, using off-ball screens and open air cuts, and made 6 of 4 shots in a single quarter, including 4 of 3 three-pointers and 2 free throws. He scored 13 points alone. This stabilized the situation of the Lakers.

With 31-32 points in a single quarter, the Lakers trailed by 5 points in the first half and entered the second half.

In the locker room, Kobe opened his mouth and asked, "Gary, how is Steve's injury?"

Gary Vitti was checking Nash's injury at the moment. When he saw Kobe coming in, he didn't turn his head, and directly lowered his head and replied, "There seems to be no problem with the ligament, but the inside of the bone is still unknown. We need to have an MRI tomorrow. Get a definite answer." "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'll take a break later, and I should be able to continue playing." Seeing Kobe's worry, Nash opened his mouth and said.

After the halftime break, Nash really reappeared. Speaking of Steve Nash, he is also an "iron man" with a high attendance rate, and he has not missed many games in his career.Playing with injuries is not a rare thing for him.But this year, his "iron man attribute" has come to an end.Only 2 minutes into the third quarter, he returned to the locker room again because of leg discomfort.

This kind of thing weakened the morale of the Lakers immediately.

Although Howard scored 12 points and 6 rebounds in a single quarter, he still couldn't stop the Blazers' crazy offensive, especially Damian Lillard. 2 points.A 13-13 offensive climax immediately discouraged the Lakers, and the score difference was widened again.

Tang Qian didn't play in these two quarters, because the situation was tense, and Mike Brown's old problem happened again. He directly overloaded Howard and Pau Gasol.But things backfired. The madness. Grass. The main force did not bring much improvement to the Lakers. On the contrary, due to the decline in physical strength, the defense of the two became more unstable.Especially Gasol, in this section alone, he was charged with 3 personal fouls.

During this offseason, Gasol underwent surgery for plantar fasciitis, and his recovery momentum is also very good, but after all, he is a person who has been on the operating table, and suddenly he is given such a high-intensity playing time. The body is actually very unfavorable.However, this season, Mike Brown is under a lot of psychological pressure, so in order to win his first victory as soon as possible, he can only use the old method, which is to ruthlessly fuck the main players.

In this quarter of the game, Kobe's shooting rate was not high, 4 of 1 shots, without Nash's delivery of shells, his offensive efficiency immediately dropped a notch.

19-30 in a single quarter, the Lakers scored 76-92, behind the Portland Trail Blazers.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe scored another 9 points, and the Lakers scored 30 points in total. However, the hole dug ahead was too big, so in the end, they lost 106-116 to the Portlanders by 10 points.In this game, Kobe scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting 50% from the field. Howard scored 33 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, and shooting 60%. Gasol scored 16 points, 9 rebounds and 4 times. assists.The team's shooting percentage is as high as 50%, the team's total rebounds are as high as 45, and the team's total assists are as high as 21 times. It is another data sheet that is crushed across the board, especially in rebounds. There are a total of 15 teams, but unfortunately, they are still unable to escape the defeat.

Tang Qian had very little playing time in this game, and only 4 rebounds were recorded in total.

Another "reign of blood" will soon be staged in newspapers and on the Internet.

2 consecutive defeats in the first battle!What's wrong with the Lakers? —Los Angeles Times.

The basic data crushed across the board, but still can't win the game, whose reason is it? — the bleachers.

Steve Nash retired from injury, the future of the Lakers cast a shadow! — Lakers Nation.

Is this the so-called "Starship Warship"?Is this the so-called "Four Heavenly Kings"? Oh~ Let me tell you one thing, the Lakers haven't won yet this season! — ESPN.

Star accumulation = winning?Los Angeles people also think basketball is too simple! — ESPN.

Mark Cuban said: "Four Heavenly Kings"? come.on~ This is not the first time they have formed a group!Didn't you win the championship last time? — ESPN.

This is an overwhelming public opinion pressure, more than ten times stronger than the Los Angeles Lakers in normal times.

But all this is just the beginning, far from the end.

On November 11, the Lakers played against the Clippers in the same city at home. Without Steve Nash, the Lakers were in a mess.It seems that everyone is fighting on their own, without any rules or levels.Look at the Clippers on the opposite side. Under the leadership of star Chris Paul, 2 of them scored in double figures, and 5 of them scored more than eight points. Such blooming scoring points directly defeated the Lakers. Unable to fight back, from the first half of the fourth quarter, it entered garbage time.

Even Kobe Bryant made 23 of 14 shots and scored 60 points with more than 40% shooting in this game, but it still couldn't hide the loss of the Lakers.Because Chris Paul on the opposite side scored 15 assists in a single game, under his leadership, the Los Angeles Clippers broke out in full swing, and it became inevitable.

It was another game with a "weird" data sheet. The Lakers shot 50%>the Clippers' 45.2%, but they still couldn't win.

The three-game losing streak at the start of the game immediately detonated the American media, and people began to talk about the Lakers, when will they "break the egg".From the menacing "Starship Warship" before the start of the game, it became a "hot joke" on the street in the blink of an eye. This kind of change is so fast that most of the Lakers players have not yet adapted to it psychologically.

The next day, TNT TV launched a special program, and the TNT group discussed Los Angeles.

O'Neal fired directly, and the Lakers messed up the star lineup. In fact, the four of them couldn't coexist benignly at all.

Kenny Smith pointed the finger at the head coach of the Lakers. He bluntly said that Mike Brown did not have the coaching ability to lead this "luxury team", so the Lakers are still a mess now.

Charles Barkley said that the Lakers only need a break-in time, because 70% of their lineup are new faces, so it is normal that the team needs a longer break-in time than ordinary teams.In order to prove the correctness of his point of view, he also cited the example of the Miami Heat back then, claiming that the "Big Three" also took a long time before they got together.

He believes that the talent of the Lakers is beyond doubt.

"Smiling Assassin" Thomas' point of view lies in the No. 1 position of the Lakers, because he feels that connecting the teams is the natural responsibility of the No. 1 position. As long as the No. 1 position can solve this link, then the rest can be easily solved.And he felt that Steve Nash possessed such qualities and abilities.

Reggie Miller focused on the teamwork of the Lakers. He gave an example that the Lakers had lost eight games in a row in the preseason and averaged 18.9 turnovers per game. 19 turnovers, which is almost a self-destructive turnover number in professional basketball games. No matter how strong the paper lineup is, it can't match the "harm" of this set of statistics.Then look at the last three games of the Lakers. There were 17 turnovers in the first game, 24 turnovers in the second game, and 20 turnovers in the third game. It's easy.Just be quiet and wait for you to make a mistake.

If the Lakers can't solve this problem, let alone a 3-game losing streak in the regular season, even a 10-game losing streak, he doesn't think it's surprising.

These people are all old players in the NBA, so when they look at problems, they often have unique insights and hit the nail on the head.

Tang Qian watched the show for a while, and felt that at least it was much more reliable than ESPN's analysis.This year's ESPN seems to be ready for the "giant black Kobe". The entire analysis program, from beginning to end, has three sentences that never hurt Kobe.Tang Qian found it funny while watching it, and he didn't know how he became a giant in the American sports world with such professionalism.Perhaps, ESPN has a more professional view of the other three major leagues in North America, which is more in line with the status of a sports giant.

In the fourth game, Kobe seemed to be determined to win the game. He took over Nash's stick and became the team's No. 1 position, and began to organize and connect the team.And this effect is extremely obvious. The Detroit Pistons were not prepared for this at all, and they were directly defeated by the Lakers by surprise, 108-79, and the game was won by a big score.

Although Kobe only scored 15 points in this game, he got 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals at the same time. Such a change finally brought the Lakers their first win of the new season.Howard, who scored the highest 28 points in the game, was a little "smug" and opened his mouth at the post-game press conference: "This is the Lakers' victory mode. We should have done it like this!"

As soon as this sentence came out, what did Kobe think?
Do you want me to play full-time No. 1?So what if Steve Nash comes back?besides……

My Kobe Bryant instinct is to score, score, score! ! !
A stopgap measure can be used for a while, but it can never last for a whole season! ! !
Otherwise, where would you put me on the Lakers? ? ?

The Lakers version of "Games of Thrones" has gradually begun to reveal its dark side.

As for Tang Qian, he was still waiting for the opportunity.

A blockbuster timing.

Because he knew deeply in his heart that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in this "luxury army" without any "big scene", it would be impossible.And the time for the big scene is coming soon.

PS: I saw someone asking, Howard is here, what should Tang Qian do? In fact, Xiaozi has already arranged the plot, so you don't have to worry about it.In fact, if someone is familiar with that period of history, they should be able to guess how Tang Qian came to prominence "naturally".

Xiaozi is out of town now, so each chapter is updated in the Internet cafe, and there is no way to explode for the time being, but Xiaozi will go home on the 4th or 5th, and Xiaozi will explode as soon as she returns home. Don't worry, everyone~
Weakly ask for a recommendation ticket, the Lakers this season need your support very much~
