Chapter 796 No one wants to listen to bragging

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers showed an almost overwhelming advantage.Since Nash returned to take full control of the ball, the original offensive problems of the Lakers have been completely solved, as if they have been penetrated by the "two veins of Ren Du", and the four kings are enough to handle everything.As for Wesley Johnson, the main thing is to do a good job on defense, and then occasionally shoot empty baskets, which is enough.

The Wizards still underestimated the current Lakers team. Even if Ariza made three three-pointers in this quarter, it was of no use. The Wizards, who played weak inside, complained endlessly.Whether it's Marcin Gortat or Trevor Booker, it's a pain.The defense is painful, not to mention the offense. The inside line without outside shooting ability, facing the double tower barrier of Tang Qian + Gasol, is the food delivery.

Can't get in at all!

Kobe Bryant strangled John Wall on the defensive end because of his physical fitness on the outside. Wall has never tasted this kind of treatment since he entered the league.Because when he joined the league, it was already the 10-11 season, and Kobe had also retreated from the absolute peak. Physical limitations prevented him from concentrating on offense and defense as before.Therefore, No. 24's defense is getting more and more aggressive. Even if he wants to defend, he must be tight at the critical moment. It is impossible to persevere like the peak.

But this season, especially after Nash's comeback, it's not a big deal.

Kobe can pinch opponents 100% on the defensive end, and this kind of player with a long ratio of possession and possession is Kobe's favorite and most willing defensive object.I'm not kidding, if it wasn't for Tang Qian this season, Kobe would probably be able to compete for the honor of DPOY.With a comprehensive peak body and physical fitness + more than ten years of court experience, his defensive ability has also reached the top of his career.

This season, Wall is only a No. 19 with around 1+ points. If he wants to be tough with Kobe, he is really not qualified.

So in the Staples Center, you will see a scene where No. 24 followed Wizards No. 2 all the way, making the latter feel uncomfortable throughout the game.Getting rid of opponents with the ball is even more like a dream. Even Wade at his peak can't do it, so what is he?Even if it is called a pick-and-roll, it cannot be called every round. This consumes too much for the team as a whole, and the offensive mode is easy to figure out.

Moreover, Wall's three-pointers and mid-range are very poor, and he didn't improve until the 17-18 season. What else can you do with him in the 13-14 season?
In addition, this Wizards team has limited power in pick-and-rolls. One of the starting lineups, neither Gortat nor Trevor Booker, has the ability to pop out of mid-to-long distances after pick-and-rolls.Therefore, it is easy to be targeted, or even let go on purpose.Second, even if they rush into the inside to attack regardless of everything, it is estimated that the end will not be too good. The inside of the Lakers is the area with the most defensive energy in the entire scene. Gortat and Bradley, who averaged 13+ per game and 6+ per game gram?Going in is probably what Los Angeles people hope for most.All bones will be eaten.The third is the problem of Wall's own offensive limitations. You have a poor basket, and after the pick-and-roll, you can only take a large proportion of breakthroughs and score points, and that returns to the origin of the problem. The Lakers basically can't get in the basket. His outbursts are probably useless.

So Kobe killed the ace core of the Wizards by himself, and made repeated mistakes in the middle. He was directly intercepted by No. 24 and played several defensive counterattacks, and a single fast break dunk.

35-25 in a single quarter, if it weren't for Ariza's 3 three-pointers to save his life, the game would be completely over.

But even so, it is still lingering, and there is no hope of overtaking or winning.

92-74, the Lakers led by 18 points and entered the fourth quarter.

In fact, the last quarter only played for more than 5 minutes, and the Lakers basically replaced all the main players, leaving only some substitutes and Tang potential to play on the court.At the end of the game, 109-99, the Lakers beat their opponents by 10 points and ushered in their 21st consecutive victory at home this season.

Kobe scored fewer points in this game, only 31 points were recorded, but he was not unhappy, because such a Lakers team gave him a chance to reach the peak stage this season.Nash scored 10 assists in this game for a long time.And because the lead was established early on, none of the "Four Kings" of the Lakers played more than 30 minutes.This kind of loss and ease made D'Antoni a little high-spirited after the game, sweeping away the reticence of more than 60 games before.

There is only one reason for this change to happen, and this is the team he wants to build.

Rather than the feeling of "VIP watching a show" from the perspective of a bystander.

However, some media still attributed the Lakers' victory to the fact that their opponents were too weak, and the Wizards were already vulnerable.

This is a bit too much. No matter how weak the Wizards are, they are currently the fifth team in the Eastern Conference. What does it mean to be vulnerable?If the playoff teams are called vulnerable, then what gold content and competitiveness is there in the East?

Kobe said in an interview after the game: Certain media and media people just like bullshit/shit!

The thorn on the 24th made some big experts and big reporters dissatisfied immediately, some of them jumped out and said openly:

Or ask Kobe to take care of things on the court of the Lakers first!Too much internal strife in the team is not a good thing!
At this time, Tang Qian + Gasol + Nash stood up together to refute the rumors:

People who like bullshit/bullshit just like bullshit and don't feel comfortable doing something out of nothing!

Henry Abbott said:

Glossy on the surface!I don't think the probability of the Lakers winning this season has ever been higher!
This time Kobe + Nash + Gasol + Tang Qian spoke together:

No need for some outsider to predict!He probably doesn't even have the strength to shoot a three-pointer, right? LOL! ! !

Henry Abbott said:

Hope you can really do it!I only look at the facts and speak!
The war of words is normal. Since the beginning of the new century, the Lakers have been the biggest concentration of saliva on ESPN. "OK combination", "F4" and "new F4" are all hot topics on ESPN without exception.Now it's the turn of "New New F4".In addition, Kobe was fighting with ESPN at the beginning of the season and throughout the season, and Tang Qian also strongly assisted. It is no wonder that ESPN has a good attitude towards the Lakers.

But everything must be told with the facts, Henry Abbott is right.

Competitive sports is not a competition for singing or writing. This is an absolute fact without subjectivity. If you win, you win. You can’t smear even if you want to.

On March 3, U.S. time, the Lakers continued to play against the Orlando Magic at home. This season, the Magic is even weaker. So far, they have only scored 23 wins and 19 losses. There is definitely no hope of entering the playoffs.This is a team in transition, and the current starting lineup doesn't have a single All-Star this season.It's the same when the scope is expanded to three seasons. Only Jamil Nelson was selected as an All-Star substitute in the 51-3 season. How long has it been?It's the 08-09 season now, okay?
This is a game without much resistance, even if Orlando played lightly, it was useless. They were led by 18 points at halftime, and finally lost 108-88 with 20 points. The season's losses increased to 52 games.

22 consecutive victories! ! !Although Kobe scored less than 40 points in this game again, only 35 points, his shooting percentage of more than 6% still made him smile brightly and said: Sorry, Mr. Henry Abbott, we won again!I don't know how long you can keep your mouth shut?

It's just the Orlando Magic! ! !The bottom team in the East! ! !I think there is nothing to be proud of! ! !
Henry Abbott expressed his opinion on Twitter, but in fact, in his heart, he kept praying and cursing the Lakers to lose as soon as possible.Otherwise, in the face of victory, his "empty mouth and white teeth" are not convincing at all.

When losing, the fans may listen to the analysis of these great experts and reporters, but when winning... Come.on~ Who cares so much?A win is a win!Listening to your bullshit can't change anything.

On March 3th, the Lakers played the 25th game of the regular season against the New York Knicks, which had plummeted this season.

Compared with last season's second place in the Eastern Conference, this season's Big Apple City is only 29 wins and 41 losses. Although this record is better than Orlando's last game, it is still hopeless to enter the playoffs.Unless they win all the remaining games, maybe there is still a slight possibility.Anthony has been put on fire this season, and Knicks fans are full of disappointment and complaints about him.

Anthony also felt aggrieved. He believed that the people of New York completely disregarded the actual situation of the Knicks this season and the achievements he made last season, and blindly scolded him, which made him feel very disrespected.

But this is a big city, look at the Lakers, even if it is Kobe, if he doesn't play well, won't he be sprayed?After Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles tendon in the original time and space, how many people had more sympathy for him?Teams in big cities naturally have advantages and disadvantages. More spotlights and exposure also mean more nitpicking and nitpicking.Anthony can't stand this, why should he be the boss?Nothing will happen in the future, and he can only go to other teams to hold his thighs. This has a lot to do with his own personality that likes to complain and doesn't like to reflect on himself.

For example, this season, just about a month after the start of the season, Anthony, who is the core player, actually publicly complained to the New York media that he wanted to reduce his playing time.His reason is that he is worried that playing too long will make his body overwhelmed and easily injured.New York Melon said that if he can win the game for the team's victory, then he is willing to do so, but if not, he is not willing to spend his body in vain.

But is this the thing?And what kind of shit excuse is that?As the top player, you spend tens of millions of dollars a year with the team. Is it wrong to let you play?What is meant by "If he can win the game, he is willing, otherwise he is not willing"?Should this be reversed?If you don't play and you reduce your playing time, will it be even more difficult for a team that is already struggling to win?No chance of winning?

The new president "Zen Master" Phil Jackson took office a week ago, and when dealing with his first question after taking office, "Zen Master" said this: Kobe and Jordan would not make such an excuse.

It was supposed to be a typical motivational statement, but...it didn't work on Anthony's side.

He just felt that "Zen Master" was unreasonable from the very beginning.

In fact, "Zen Master" also overestimated his influence on the stars. Of course, he did not have anyone he couldn't handle before, whether it was Jordan, Kobe, Pippen, Rodman, O'Neal, etc., from the history of super giants As far as the stabbing head, he can subdue it, and the three armies will use their lives.But there are always exceptions. Anthony is the first star that Phil Jackson can't handle.

"Zen Master" doesn't think so. He is too used to players obeying his orders, so he also ignores the difficulty of dealing with Anthony.He believes that Anthony desperately wants to become a super giant and wants to get his own championship ring, so he will definitely bow to him.What about the facts?it's not true.This is destined to be a tragedy.

Furthermore, Phil Jackson's practice of stimulating players by actively letting the media "wind up" is not suitable for today's league.He directly and secretly told the local reporter in New York that Anthony was just concerned about the shoulder injury he had just recovered, and he did not want to have the risk of being injured again.As soon as the news came out, Anthony was furious. Although it was true, it still made Melon blow up.

This point will intensify later, and Anthony will eventually publicly express that he does not like to accept criticism in public. If you want to criticize, please say it in private.But speaking privately would lose the meaning of what "Zen Master" said. He wanted to use the pressure of the outside world and the media to put pressure on the players and stimulate motivation, so the latter's answer was "to be magnanimous".

On this point, Kobe also intervened, saying: "Don't be a dead end when dealing with Zen masters."

But Tang Qian understood that all this was in vain, and Anthony wouldn't listen to it.

At least for now, his so-called star self-esteem is still greater than the pursuit of the championship ring.

This is completely different from Jordan Kobe O'Neal back then.

Well, maybe it's also a problem that they weren't the same level of stars in the first place.

Compared with the top ten super giants in history, people like Anthony are simply in a difficult situation.

Before this game, Anthony said in a public interview: He will strive to win the rest of the games in the future.The Knicks still have the possibility of entering the playoffs!

Let’s just say it, and by the way, I also brought the Lakers a mouthful, which means that I want to take the Lakers’ "sacrifice flag".

This immediately annoyed the four kings of the Lakers. Kobe took the lead in saying:
I still say that, we will continue to win!
Gasol was a little more tactful:

I think the Knicks are a good team, but we should be better.

Nash said:
That's the opinion of the Knicks, my opinion is we're going to win.

Tang Qian said:
Who wouldn't talk big. Mr. Henry Abbott, a great ESPN expert, once said that in competitive sports, you only need to look at the facts.

This repeated response made Anthony's face turn blue with anger, but what's the use of his rebuttal now?That damn Eastern center is right, competitive sports, no results, no facts, what a fart you are.

No one wants to listen to bragging.
