Chapter 376 Let him go
"Pass the ball, pass the ball more, don't be too obsessed with low shots! Give it to outside players if you don't feel good!" Although Mike D'Antoni didn't name his words, the Lakers knew it well of.But Dwight Howard was not ashamed. He turned to Paul Gasol and said, "Paul, why can't you make any open shots? My pass is obviously very good!"

In fact, in total, he passed an open ball to Gasol once, and Gasol didn't make it, and he instantly became the object of his complaints.

Although the Spaniard has a certain mid-range basket, it is not his regular offensive method, and it is normal to be unstable.

After all, even if it is an open shot, and no one asks for it, it will definitely score 100% of the goals.

No one can beat this guarantee, not Nash, Kobe, not even Jordan.

Howard, on the other hand, complained so confidently.

Gasol did not explain much, because he is not the kind of character who likes to argue, and this attitude further fueled Howard's arrogance: "Paul, it is not easy for me to get an assist, please can you aim next time? I'm really not sure, you can send it back~ I won't blame you~"

"Okay, just do your job well, and stop talking useless nonsense." Kobe couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted Howard first. If he wasn't eager for the sixth NBA championship, he really didn't want to endure this stupidity anymore. Egg "Warcraft".In terms of friendship and contribution, he is not as good as a Spaniard in Kobe's heart.

"Huh, I know." Howard seemed dissatisfied with Kobe interrupting himself, and said with a snort, "Please get back to normal on the outside, otherwise you only scored one goal in each of the first three quarters, which puts us under a lot of pressure on the inside. Hearing what the other party said, Kobe's face darkened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Of course, you don't need to remind me."

Seeing this, Mike D'Antoni felt helpless. He really admired the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson. The OK team was so open to conflicts and struggles, but the latter was able to handle them in an orderly manner, so that OK could forget them as soon as he played. Everything, sincere cooperation, destroy the city.This is not a master-level skill, so don't even try to do it.

At least he felt that he was powerless.

Star players are individuals with personalities and personalities. If they are not in a good mood, then the game cannot be played at all.

But how to knead the "Four Heavenly Kings"?Mike D'Antoni felt helpless.

Soft?If people don't listen, they will ignore your words.

Hard?If people don't eat it, if you use a little more force, they will fight back or go on strike.

That's why Mike D'Antoni is so entangled at this moment.

This short timeout did not discuss any countermeasures, the game continued, and the Lakers continued the momentum of the first quarter.

He was beaten and hanged by the mature and tacit understanding of the Miami Heat.

If it weren't for Kobe's wide-ranging swing and making a difficult three-pointer, the Lakers' score in the first 4 minutes would have remained motionless and become zero.And what about the Miami Heat?Very relaxed and freehand, through tacit cooperation and passing the ball, a wave of 10-3 started, and the score difference suddenly became as much as 14 points.

85-99, the efforts of the substitute lineup became a vain.

Tang Qian sat on the sidelines and found some problems. Compared with last season, the Heat this season is even scarier and scarier.It seems that after being baptized by the championship, each of them has a domineering aura of "who can give me nothing".From star players to role players, everyone has them, it's just a matter of how much.

The overall temperament is completely different from last season.

What is that called?That's called a champion look, that's called a champion temperament.

In fact, what Tang Qian discovered, Kobe never felt it. Steve Nash and Dwight Howard may not feel it deeply, but he, as the core player of the 5th NBA championship and the absolute boss of the 2nd NBA championship, He understands better than anyone on the Lakers now what has changed in the Heat.

The situation became one-sided again. In the Staples Center, a group of fans left one after another, because the so-called "Four Heavenly Kings" VS "Big Three", there was nothing to watch at all.It's like a strong team beating a weak team, with no competition or intensity at all.As long as the "Big Three" of the Heat are on the court at the same time, it is almost a wave of things, and the Los Angeles Lakers, who are playing at home, have no power to parry.

This game made Los Angeles fans truly realize that the current Lakers team is not a team capable of winning the championship.

Compared with the real strong teams in the league, there is a huge difference and a far distance.

How many points will you lose?That's what's on the minds of some Lakers fans who haven't left yet.

Now that the game has been played, they no longer dare to hope to win again.

Because there is no hope at all.

Many sideline reporters and experts are also "gripping their hands" and preparing to write an article after the game, "ridiculously ridiculing" the so-called "Four Kings of Los Angeles" and their entire half-dead Los Angeles Lakers team.

what to do?This question is not only what the fans want to know, the Lakers players want to know, and the head coach Mike D'Antoni also wants to know.But as far as it seems, this problem has no solution.Because the team on the opposite side is really too good, so good that they didn't take it seriously at all, and they had already played the Lakers upside down.

Mike D'Antoni called another long timeout because that's what he has to do now as a head coach.

But it's not that he called this timeout, the Lakers can come up with a good solution.

It's just time to call timeout, that's all.

The atmosphere of the team is extremely dull. In fact, since this season, the Lakers have not been very relaxed and happy.

The pressure, expectations, disappointment, ridicule, falling into a well, hitting a stone, etc., have made this high-profile team overburdened.Looking at the team members gasping for breath, Mike D'Antoni was also racking his brains, but many times, it's not that you can bring anything by racking your brains.

Nothing can be done.

This is the Los Angeles Lakers now.

This game is not just a matter of losing and ending the winning streak, but has risen to another level.

The entire Lakers finally realized the real gap with the championship team.

A gap that cannot be filled.

Those illusory halos before the start of the season, at this moment, are completely, thoroughly, shattered.

The No. 12 of the Lakers has even begun to consider whether to continue to renew his contract next season and stay in this... City of Angels.

He can pat his ass and walk away, but some people can't.

For example, Nash, who signed with the Lakers for several years, should be unlikely to leave in the future.

For example, Kobe, he will probably spend his whole life on the battleship of the Los Angeles Lakers. Besides, as the captain, there are only two options: shipwreck or voyage.

If there is a disastrous defeat tonight, and the loss has no resistance at all, then this season the Lakers will...

"Mike, let's change." At this moment, Steve Nash stood up and opened his mouth.

"Substitution? Who to replace?" Mike D'Antoni was also a little out of shape.

"Change him, let him play." Nash pointed to the Lakers' bench, the number 29 printed on the jersey number.

"Steve? Are you kidding me? Replace him? The current situation can't stand the storm?" Although Mike D'Antoni admires Tang Qian very much, there is a limit to this kind of appreciation. He has not yet thought that, Tang Qianhui is better than Dwight Howard.One is an All-Star center, a quasi-superstar peak player in the league, and the other is just an ordinary small substitute, a second-year rookie. It seems clear at a glance how to choose.But Steve Nash shook his head and said again: "I know, but the current situation is already bad enough, and it doesn't make any difference if it gets a little worse. But if you don't ask for changes...Mike, you know what the result will be what?"

"Steve, even if you are right, this trick is still..."

"There's nothing to avoid." Nash said with firm eyes: "I know that doing this may not be a routine method, but in order to win, I think anyone can temporarily sacrifice some."

"After all, I came to Los Angeles...not to lose."

"Then who will be replaced temporarily? Paul?" Mike D'Antoni actually vaguely guessed what Nash was thinking, but he still had a little fantasy. "No, let Dwight leave first for the time being." But Nash's answer instantly shattered the former's hopes.

"What? Replace me? Are you joking? No! I absolutely disagree!!!" Sure enough, before Mike D'Antoni could speak, a protest sounded from the Lakers' bench area. "Dwight, for the sake of the team's victory, I can only wrong you for the time being. I hope you can understand." Nash also knew that this proposal offended people and made it difficult for Mike D'Antoni, so he simply spoke to Howard himself.

"For the team's victory? Steve, are you talking in your sleep?" Dwight Howard said: "Replacing me with a league superstar and replacing me with a bench player is called for the team's victory? Don't you I'm being fooled!" Seeing Howard mentioning his fame and status in the league, Nash also turned cold and said, "Superstar players? So what about superstar players? Superstar players play like shit, that's okay. I want to replace it! Besides, when did the title of league superstar become so cheap? FMVP, MVP, do you have one in Howard?" Nash is also a person with a temper. Although he usually has a pleasant expression, but in his bones, Also a competitor.And Lianzhuang MVP is his biggest hard capital.

After all, as the highest honor of the regular season, Dwight Howard, a self-proclaimed "superstar", has never touched it.

So if you really want to compare the historical status of the two, he may not be able to overwhelm Steve Nash, and he may even be inferior to the latter.

Hearing Nash call his last name directly, Howard knew that the old point guard was a little unhappy, but he was unwilling to lose face. After all, he is now at his peak, and the opponent is already in the past.If a team's second core apologizes to the third core to show weakness, Dwight Howard will never do it.

"I don't have MVP and FMVP for the time being, but I will always have these things in the future. Didn't Kobe get these things after he was 30 years old? So don't use MVP to pressure me. Apart from MVP, I have other season honors. No less than you!" Seeing that Dwight Howard was still talking back, Nash exploded in anger. He looked at Howard directly and said, "You don't even have an MVP. Do you think you can enter the Hall of Fame in the future? Even if you do, that's Lifetime honor award, right? And aside from these useless things, look at your offensive data tonight, 14 of 2 shots, 8 of 1 free throws, don't you think you should go to the bench and reflect on it?"

"So what? Who hasn't been in a bad state yet? I think you're just protecting that Oriental guy... Oriental guy, don't think I don't know anything. You've been staying with him to practice alone recently. Right? So you want him to replace me? I tell you, no way! Stop daydreaming with him!"

"you……"

"I……"

"Enough!" Just when the two were getting more and more violent, Kobe stood up. In the Lakers, he has absolute authority.

And his historical status far exceeds that of Howard and Nash.

So his attitude will be the final direction of this matter.

"Dwight, come down and rest for the time being. Your shooting touch tonight is indeed not very good." The Lakers bench waited for a while, and the Black Mamba finally spoke his answer.As soon as this remark came out, Nash laughed, and Howard became angry.The latter directly questioned Kobe: "Bryant, what do you mean? Are you going to suppress me for that Oriental?"

"No." Kobe said: "It's just that tonight, his offensive state is indeed better than yours. If you want to reverse the disadvantage, you have to make some changes, that's all." With Kobe's character, he was too lazy to explain this. What nonsense, but the target is Dwight Howard, the general that the Lakers recruited with great difficulty this season, and the management's default future team builder.He also had to take care of the other party's emotions a little bit.But these, as it turned out, were all in vain, because Dwight Howard didn't mean to be considerate of Kobe at all. Instead, he glared and said, "The offensive state is better than mine? Then don't you see who he is facing? Want me to face him?" Against Joel Anthony, I already scored 50 points, this comparison is not fair at all!"

"As a member of the Lakers, we should all take winning as the greatest responsibility, you..." Before Kobe finished speaking, Howard shouted: "It's a good sentence to win! If that's the case, don't you also Are you playing like shit? Why don’t you take the lead? Who wouldn’t do it? Do you think I’m Dwight Howard, a rookie?”

This sentence can be regarded as hitting Kobe's pain point. Because of his poor physical condition tonight, he did perform extremely abnormally, but as the leader of the team, his occasional state can be tolerated and understood.After all, he made too many "contributions" for the Lakers before, and he deserved this special treatment.But Howard was a little ignorant of current affairs, and Kobe's point was poked out in it, which made Kobe's face very embarrassing.

"Okay." Kobe was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "But the premise is that you have to find out, and the team SG that performed better than me tonight comes out. If you can find out, then I have nothing to say about this game. , Immediately get off the court and rest." "You..." Howard said loudly, because the Lakers are short of SG position this season, except for Kobe, there is no suitable candidate for the position at all, so the result is obvious, he is impossible to find in the Lakers. This kind of person.

"You're a double standard, you deliberately put yourself down!!!" Howard thought for a long time, and could only choke out such an unnutritious sentence. "It doesn't matter what you think." Kobe said, "Anyway, for the next game, you just stay on the bench obediently."

"Why do you do this? Are you the head coach?"

"Why?" Kobe looked at Howard with blazing eyes and said, "Just because I am called Kobe Bryant."

ESPN Live Room.

"As expected of Miami, as expected of the Heat, it looks like they will win tonight!" Alonzo Mourning looked at the big screen and grinned, very straightforward. "Yeah, Alonzo, I didn't expect the Heat to be so strong. It seems that last year's championship has given them a different team temperament." Isiah Thomas also said: "'Four Heavenly Kings' VS' The Big Three' seem to have reached a conclusion on which one is stronger."

"Huh? The Lakers made a substitution? They replaced Dwight Howard? Did they replace them? Did they replace them with China Irons???" Isiah Thomas said in surprise in the live broadcast room.
