last super center

Chapter 95 Two consecutive losses, against Embiid!
After defeating the Grizzlies, everyone in Los Angeles was very excited. Whoever said they were a bad team, who said they could not beat a strong enemy, even defeated the Grizzlies and Rockets, the second and fourth teams in the Western Conference, and the Eastern Conference. Top [-]!
That's it?Hasn't become the soul of the Lakers' crotch.

Su Mu was overwhelmed inside, who said that this guy can only bully those teams that don't have tall centers?
No, black and white bears can't stop Su Mu's footsteps. In the entire league, there are very few players who want to fight Su Mu inside.

In the era of withered inside centers, Su Mu's sudden emergence has made many teams uncomfortable. It is even said that they have found players who are specifically aimed at Su Mu. There must be, but at least they are not in their teams.

The momentum is like a rainbow!

With a victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at home, the Los Angeles Lakers continued their home tour.

The bottom team in the Western Conference, the Timberwolves, who were supposed to be the same as the Lakers, changed the fate of this team after Su Mu was reborn.

Love still left, but they did not exchange for high-quality players. Instead, they hoarded a large number of first-round picks, looking forward to further development of the Timberwolves in the future.

Glancing at the Timberwolves' starting center: Gorgui Dieng.

What kind of rotten fish and rotten shrimp is this?
Su Mu smiled, he didn't do whatever he wanted tonight.

Another glance at their backup center.

Um.
It seems that there is no backup center?
Bennett?
This guy is at most a striker, and with the title of the top pick, Su Mu can do whatever he wants, he can do whatever he wants!

There is no suspense, the quality of the Lakers' players is much higher, although Zach LaVine performed well tonight, showing the demeanor of the No. Su Mu scored 13 points, 35 rebounds and 25 blocks efficiently in 18 minutes of the game. No one can get past Su Mu's defense. Even Zach LaVine, who defeated Gordon and became the top slam dunk king, couldn't do it. !

In addition, Gordon also played well, and even played against Zach LaVine many times. He sat on the inside with a big butt and used his strong body to continuously charge. With LaVine's small body, how can he resist? Live Gordon's shock?
"Aaron, you did a great job! I believe in you, this guy will never be your opponent in the future dunk contest!"

Su Mu patted Gordon on the back and said firmly.

Slam dunk contest?

Not my opponent?

What the hell, when it comes to dunking, I, Gordon, am not afraid of anyone!
If Su Mu knew what Gordon was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud.

No, in front of Dwyane Wade, you can only score 9 points at most.

On November 11, the Los Angeles Lakers continued their winning streak.

Sitting at the Staples Center, facing the strong Eastern team, the Toronto Raptors led by "garbage brothers" Kyle Lowry and Jamal DeRozan.

Fortunately, DeRozan, the last classic CIC artist, was absent due to injury. Tonight, only Lowry led the team out, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Los Angeles Lakers.

The integrity of the Raptors is also quite good, everyone is a soldier, as long as the players who come up can make achievements.

Their big inside center, Valanciunas, is also a tall insider from Europe. He has an extremely strong body and a slow lateral movement speed, but he has comprehensive skills, excellent inside offensive skills, and a long-range hand. The shooting and pick-and-roll quality are also quite good. The only shortcoming may be the disadvantage of speed.

In the era of small ball with unlimited defense changes, when strong teams have a terrifying outside range, Valanciunas can easily become a target and cannot step forward to defend. Isn't that purely sending points to the opponent?
If it is placed in the era of inside attack, Valanciunas is definitely the main core of the team, but in today's small ball era, Valanciunas will gradually lose his role on the court with the times. The reduction of time and the abandonment at critical moments do not mean that Valanciunas is not good enough, but that in this era, if you have not adapted, you can only bear such a result.

In this game, Su Mu did not choose to attack from the inside. Valanciunas' weight is more terrifying than that of the black and white bears, and his height has reached 2 meters. Choosing head-to-head is undoubtedly an inferior strategy. Using the advantage of speed to attack In the case of the opponent's frontal attack, Su Mu's success rate is quite high!

Still holding the victory in the palm of their hands, the Lakers defeated their opponents 129:122. Tonight, they were undefended. Both teams played a very high offensive efficiency. Su Mu scored 30 points and 16 rebounds, plus 3 assists and 3 blocks. The statistics are comprehensive. Experts in the league have already exclaimed, the Los Angeles Lakers really found a treasure!

Kupchak's mouth was crooked. He never imagined that Su Mu, who was acquired at a huge price, could hit such an average per game. Not to mention the offensive shooting, the statistics of rebounds and blocks alone are among the highest in the league. First, the contribution made by the defensive end is incomparably strong. If the game continues like this, this kid may not be able to win the DPOY in the first year.

You must know that the growth cycle of an inside center is much longer than that of an outside player. Inside offensive skills and physical fitness all need to be accumulated over time. Center players who can play explosive output in the first year are all center players. Grow into a superstar.

So, Su Mu has the potential to be a superstar?
NO!

Su Mu must have the potential of a super center forward!

And it is a super center belonging to the Los Angeles Lakers!
Compared with the laughing Los Angeles Lakers, the Cleveland Cavaliers were rightfully questioned.

"Charles, do you think it's a good deal for the Cavaliers to trade Su Mu for Gasol?"

Barkley's old partner, Kenny Smith asked.

"It can't be said that it's absolutely not worth it. Looking at the record of the Cavaliers, they are number one in the East, and the only one better than them is the Golden State Warriors who are number one in the West.

Gasol has played All-Star-level data in the Cavaliers. He has partnered with Kobe Bryant. He knows how to partner with these superstars.

I don't want to use the word cost-effective to describe this deal. Everyone gets what they need. What the Cavaliers need is not the future, but the present. The same is true for the Lakers. What they need is the future, so they got Su Mu with unlimited potential. They are all reasonable needs. If the Cavaliers can win the championship, then this deal is definitely a good deal. If not, considering the long-term future, the Lakers still look further. "

There are pros and cons, even in Su Mu's opinion, the knight's choice is extremely correct.

Compared with Gasol, who has comprehensive skills and has proven himself many times in the playoffs, Su Mu is like a blank sheet of paper. When you have LeBron James, you dare to bet on one Blank paper, can they play efficient data in the playoffs with a sharp increase in defensive intensity?

Even Su Mu didn't believe that he could have so many offensive opportunities in the paint under double-teaming and unlimited physical strength.

As for shooting, Gasol at this stage can really crush himself.

Therefore, the Cleveland Cavaliers definitely made the most correct choice, and Gasol's role is also sharper than that of Love in his previous life. The combination is quite reasonable, plug and play.

To be honest, whether this year's Golden State Warriors can defeat the Cavaliers and win the final championship, Su Mu really has a big question mark.

With consecutive home games and consecutive team victories, the Los Angeles Lakers started another road trip.

On December 12, the first game of the last month, against the Detroit Pistons, the Lakers lost the game.

When Pope and Dinwiddie met with their old clubs, their performance was mediocre and they didn't have much effect, but Clarkson and Ellington, who were sent to the Detroit Pistons by the Los Angeles Lakers, were full of anger.

From the bustling metropolis to the dilapidated city of cars, this town famous for its heavy industry has lost its former glory. Crime breeds and the environment is harsh. To play here, you must always pay attention to the behavior of those homeless people on the street. .

How could the two of them not be angry in such a situation?

Clarkson went completely berserk and scored 26 points on Pope's head. The Pistons narrowly beat the Lakers, defended their home court, and won the victory.

Su Mu was a little depressed. Tonight's Lakers team was too strong. Maybe it was the winning streak that gave them the illusion. Facing the bottom of the Eastern Conference, the Detroit Pistons, everyone was in a daze. Mond fought crazily. Although he had the upper hand, he couldn't stand undercover with all the members, and finally lost to his opponent by 3 points.

Su Mu performed well as always, scoring 22 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Facing the future rebounding king, he grabbed 17 rebounds, including 6 offensive rebounds. This made Drummond doubt his life. How could this yellow-skinned boy from Asia be so fierce?

Leaving the Motor City, the Los Angeles Lakers flew non-stop to the next city, the capital of the United States: Washington!

The Wizards sit at home, wait for work, and use their strongest posture to face the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Washington Wizards at this stage are extremely powerful. They have the fastest No. [-] player in the league, John Wall. At his peak, Wall was really a top-three point guard in the league. Quickly, you can't see his taillights at all.

Before the serious injury, Wall really had the confidence to compete for the best in the league!
In addition, Bill is also becoming more and more mature. This guy focuses on offense and light defense. He is not as good at both offense and defense as Thompson. He often loses the chain at critical moments. one of the reasons.

In addition to the potential backcourt, the Wizards' inside reserves are also quite good.

Sledgehammer Gortat, Kardashian's Hunfries, and backup champions like Drew Gooden, if Su Mu wants to make a difference tonight, he must go all out.

It is worth mentioning that Paul Pierce, the former head of the Celtics and the title of "Truth", is also in the Washington Wizards. Uncle Pi has one of the few NBA seasons. The last year of the Wizards is also the last glory of Pierce. After the Los Angeles Clippers, Pierce was basically a role player, and his status in the team began to become dispensable.

But no matter what, the move to let Pierce leave the Green Army, this giant with a rich history, is indeed not humane in dealing with veterans, cruel usefulness, when you are no longer young, the top of the Green Army can treat you coldly. Trade instead of giving contracts of kindness that you deserve.

Compared with the Celtics, the Lakers have done a better job in this aspect. Of course, the business alliance is a business alliance after all. If you want to talk about human relationships here, it shows that your strength is far from enough to gain a foothold in the alliance.

The two sides played back and forth. The Lakers and the Wizards are on the same rank, but the overall cooperation of the Wizards is more outstanding. Most of the players have been in the league for several years. Unlike the Lakers, they are all young rookies. When the going gets tough, it's hard to stay stable for long periods of time.

Still lost the game, the Lakers seemed powerless to fight back, the audience was suppressed by the Wizards, Wall seemed to be in no man's land, killing all the outsiders, and the Lakers complained endlessly.

Su Mu has no skills at all. He can block once or twice, but he can't block all the times.

Wall's impact ability is already strong, and if he rashly assists in the defense, Su Mu will get into foul trouble.

Two consecutive defeats!
The Lakers once again tasted the taste of losing streak, and after losing this game, the Lakers dropped to fifth place in the Western Conference. The Memphis Grizzlies came from behind. four position.

After two consecutive losses, the Lakers have no time to be depressed.

Because that's the way the NBA is, game after game, and right now, the long season is just getting started.

The trip to the Eastern Conference is still going on, and the Lakers must clean up their mood to face the arrival of the next game.

On December 12, the Lakers flew to Philadelphia to prepare for the game against the 4ers on the 5th.

God knows how long Su Mu prepared for this match.

During the trip, Su Mu also deliberately found the assistant coach to come to Embiid's recent statistics.

Don't say it, Embiid's recent performance is really good after being stabbed in the heart continuously.

In the game against the Wizards on the 18th, this guy was merciless against the Wizards and led the team to the final victory.

He played 32 minutes and scored the first 20+ scoring data in his NBA career.

20日，在76人惨败给休斯顿火箭的比赛里，恩比德也是拿下了18分2助攻8篮板的全面数据。

In the middle game against the Cavaliers, Embiid played a little abnormally and was completely blown away by Gasol, scoring only 10 points and 5 turnovers.

"What should I say to Embiid after meeting?"

"For example, the future is yours?"

"You will become the softest MVP player in history, and now this setback is nothing?"

"Also, are you really only a few million points away from catching up with me?"

Thinking of Embiid's panicked look, Su Mu couldn't help laughing.
