The Lakers are such a great team!Those who underestimate them should probably pay attention! — Popovich in the postgame press conference.This is really "wave style", and the praise on the surface is actually saying: Hey, hey, everyone pay attention, the Lakers are about to rise, everyone is ready to fight with swords, guns and sticks.

20 consecutive victories!Can the Lakers do more?Compare the 20-game winning streak of the Lakers and Miami Heat!Detailed data analysis tells you who is better! — ESPN.

On March 3, US time, the Lakers played against the Washington Wizards at home.The performance of the Wizards this season is not bad. They are currently fifth in the East, but they have the same record as the Brooklyn Nets, which is sixth in the East, but with fewer losses.But this kind of record is not bad in the East, but if you come to the West, sorry, you need to be ranked tenth in the West.On par with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have clearly failed to make the playoffs.

Take a look at this, and you will know that some people say that the reason why James schedules the finals every year is because the Eastern Conference is too good.

Therefore, his pressure and consumption in the playoffs are relatively much smaller than those in the West. Well, so, his winning percentage against the strong teams in the West in the finals is naturally not good.This makes sense. After all, this year, the third-ranked Raptors in the East, do you know what it's like to be in the West?Is it number one in the West District?You may not believe it if you tell me, but you won't even make it to the top eight! ! !Tied with the No.9 Phoenix Suns! ! !The same is true of the original time and space, the great inertia of history, in these respects, there is still little change.

The third place in the Eastern Conference, the 13-14 season in the Western Conference can't even make it to the top eight? ? ?This is ridiculed, and of course.

Therefore, many people proposed to cancel the division and determine the ranking of the playoffs according to the record, which is what it means.

The East, since Jordan retired, has been weak all year round. There are only 2-3 strong teams, and sometimes even only 1-2 teams.Compared with the wildness of the Western Division, what is it if it's not very cool?There are a lot of teams running with them, and the front of the playoffs is basically abusive. In many years, the only one that can even be watched is the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Wizards' starting lineup is Wall + Bradley Beal + Marcin Gortat + Trevor Ariza + Booker.This lineup is passable in the East, but in the West...it is very likely that they will not get 33 victories now.There is no need for the Lakers to think about it, it is Kobe + Nash + Gasol + Tang Qian + Wesley Johnson.The four kings bring a role player below the standard line.

With Nash, Kobe's possession of the ball has been greatly reduced, and the number of shots has also begun to decline. In the first quarter, he only shot 3 times and scored 5 points.This is much less than the previous 60-odd games.But unlike before, even without Kobe firing wildly from the outside, the Lakers still led the score.

Scored 33 points in a single quarter, of which Tang Qian scored a rare 9 points!It is the highest for the whole team in a single quarter!The remaining Gasol also scored 6 points!Coupled with Nash's own 2 three-pointers and the substitute scoring at the end, the Lakers' scoring suddenly seemed to be blooming everywhere, with scoring ability everywhere, and scoring points everywhere.

However, the Wizards were repeatedly restrained from breaking through the inside, and played in a mess in the first quarter. The head star John Wall directly hit Tang Qian with 2 inside caps, and his shooting percentage in a single quarter was only 7 of 1 shots.No way, Wall's three-pointer has always been a weak point, even in the 17-18 season, it is still cold, and the openings are sparse.And apart from three-pointers, his mid-range shots have never been accurate. Since his rookie season, no matter whether it is mid-range or mid-range, his hit rate is about 3%, which is obviously not up to standard.

So killing the inside may be good against other teams, but against the Lakers this season, it is really uncomfortable.

Tang Qian alone can scare outside players who want to come to the basket to score points. Now there is another 7-footer returning. The real super twin towers have taken shape in the Lakers.At least on the defensive end, looking at the league, no one can beat it, it can be called an iron wall.

The Wizards only scored 17 points in a single quarter, 33-17, and the Lakers established a big lead in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the Wizards took a turn for the better. With the Lakers on the 29th, they finally had a chance to kill the inside.John Wall and Bradley Beal both hit the basket and won a lot of free throw opportunities.That's what Wizards head coach Randy Whitman wants to see.Everyone in the league now knows that the Lakers are the weakest in the second quarter. He naturally asked the Wizards players to take the opportunity to score more points and help establish the lead in the second half.

The overall Wizards played well in the second quarter. After Kobe Bryant and Tang Qian took a break, the Lakers' defense was a bit "open".Especially after half a quarter, Gasol also had a rest, which was even more messy.But D'Antoni is not in a hurry at all, because the team's tone in the second quarter has been set as "confrontation" since Nash's return.

Even if there is no defense, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, try to delay the time as much as possible, don't be beaten by the opponent, and then play the main force with sufficient physical strength in the second half to reap the game.

Nash has made a lot of effort, but the Lakers still only scored 24 points, because the substitutes and role players tonight feel very average.If Meeks and Nick Young are here, the situation will improve.

Now, there is still a feeling of "a clever woman can't cook without rice", but even so, Nash still led this group of people to score 24 points.Although not as good as the Wizards' 32 points in a single quarter, at least the previous "must spend" in the second quarter is gone forever.

The Lakers are now in the second half, and that's a win.

In the locker room, after everyone rested for a while, Kobe stood up and opened the doorway:

"Okay, everyone, rest well, let's go to the court to end the game and send the Washingtonians back to the White House."

Everyone agrees, the team centripetal force of the Lakers is improving little by little.
