Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 187

The NBA regular season of the 2012-2013 season is less than a month away. For the Los Angeles Lakers, there are still eight games to end this year's regular season and start preparing for the playoffs.

It can be said that the Los Angeles Lakers are the first team in the entire league to start preparing for the playoffs. As early as March, they began to intentionally increase the time the bench lineup spent on the court.Among them, Darius Morris, Devin Ebanks and Robert Secree are the three young players. The playing time of the three of them is gradually increasing. This is also the team's consideration for the future. After all Even if old players like Steve Nash, Steve Blake, Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace continue to stay in the team in the future, their playing time will be restricted due to age. It is time for the Lakers Need to develop young players.

But judging from the current lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers, the average age of the main lineup and main rotation players is still a bit old. It is already difficult for players like Metta World Peace and Pau Gasol to quickly retreat to defend against the opponent's quick counterattack. Yes, their physical strength needs to be used more on offense and defense, rather than doing unnecessary back and forth on the court.Therefore, after discussing with Mike Brown and Phil Jackson, the Lakers rarely used run-and-gun tactics in the second half of the season, and relied more on positional offense to achieve success rate. This kind of steady and steady approach is currently the most suitable for the Lakers team way.

And the only thing sacrificed under such tactical basic conditions is Steve Nash's data. His average assists per game in the season has decreased significantly. So far, he has averaged only 6.5 assists per game, which is far lower than the previous seasons. Level.This makes the Phoenix Suns owner happy that he did not choose to keep Steve Nash, as a way to prove his prescient.Even fans of the Phoenix Suns said that Steve Nash is old, and now he can only go to the Los Angeles Lakers to linger on his last breath.Of course, Steve Nash directly chose to ignore this, and now all he wants is the championship, and the rest is nothing to him, he is eligible to get a championship ring!
The Los Angeles Lakers' eight games in April are six home games and two away games, but looking at the opponents, it is actually not much different from seven home games, because one of them was against the same city brother team on April [-] Clippers game.The other away game is to go to Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers. This is a back-to-back game, but after discussion with the team's coaching staff, the team has decided to give up this game.

The Los Angeles Lakers' first opponent in April is the Dallas Mavericks.The Dallas Mavericks did not go well this year. First, Jason Kidd defected to the arms of the New York Knicks when the team was ready to renew his contract. The team's best sixth man Jason Terry and After the team's contract extension negotiations failed, he switched to Boston's Celtics.Not long after the start of the season, the team's head star Dirk Nowitzki had to choose surgery because of a knee injury.

Fortunately, the team signed Darren Collison and Chris Kaman, and even got the former No. 8 pick OJ Mayo, which kept the team in the top ten.After the team's head star Dirk Nowitzki returned from injury, the team's record finally stabilized at the ninth place, and launched a strong impact on No.[-], and now it is only two wins away from the opponent difference.

In the game that night, the starting lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers was Robert Thackeray, Josh McRoberts, Devin Ebanks, Lin Fengzhe, and Darius Morris. A substitute player enters the field.The idea of ​​​​the Los Angeles Lakers training is very clear.The starting lineup is very important in the first quarter, and the main players will make up for you in the second quarter.In the final analysis, training is okay, but it does not mean that we have given up winning the game.

Although the game against the Dallas Mavericks was not exciting, thanks to the efforts of these young players who are eager to express themselves, the Los Angeles Lakers are also playing well. Although they trailed their opponents by six points after the first quarter, the players actively The defense and orderly offense have been recognized by the fans.

In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers won the game with a three-point advantage of 98 to 95.The team's young center has achieved remarkable performance against the veteran Chris Kaman. He played 22 minutes and scored [-] points, [-] rebounds, [-] assist, [-] turnovers and [-] fouls. Everything else is easy to say. It's just that there are more turnovers and fouls, and what's worse is that they are all defensive.

Robert Thackeray started again against the Memphis Grizzlies following a strong performance with the Dallas Mavericks earlier.But this time Robert Thackeray was more miserable. He was fouled three times by Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol in less than 5 minutes in the first quarter, and was replaced early as a cheerleader. staff went.

In this game, the Memphis Grizzlies exploded inside. Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol scored 48 points and 29 rebounds. The team's small forward Rudy Gay He also had a great time shooting outside. He made [-] of [-] shots and [-] of [-] three-pointers. He scored a game-high [-] points.

Due to the strong performance of the Memphis Grizzlies, the plan of the Los Angeles Lakers to train was destroyed. In the end, the main players came in and out. Finally, Kobe Bryant's three-pointer at the buzzer narrowly beat the opponent by two points and won the difficult game.

In the Los Angeles City Derby that followed, the game between the Lakers and the Clippers was more like a friendly match. After one game, the combined number of fouls committed by both sides was only twenty. How harmonious the game was played.Both teams have steadily entered the playoffs, and no matter whether they lose or win, they have no effect on their respective rankings. Therefore, due to the shooting percentage, the Los Angeles Lakers won the game 92 to 85 in the away game. game wins.

Lamar Odom, who returned to the Los Angeles Clippers again this season, has averaged [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] assists after losing weight, which is far from being as bad as last season with the Dallas Mavericks , Became an indispensable member of the Clippers bench. In his own words, "I hope to end my playing career in the Clippers, where I started my career." Gero also praised, "We were called idiots at the beginning of the season, but it turned out that we were right. Lamar proved that he is still the omnipotent fighter!"

The Los Angeles Lakers went [-]-[-] in the next four games, losing only on the road to the Portland Trail Blazers.Against the Portland Trail Blazers, All-Star center LaMarcus Aldridge scored [-] points on Robert Thackeray, blasting the opponent and letting Robert Thackeray know what it means The strength of an All-Star player. (Robert is very aggrieved: I knew it a long time ago, there are a bunch of All-Stars in our team! Being abused at home, or being abused when going out...)

The game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs on April [-] was originally considered the most exciting game at the end of the regular season, but the nearly two-hour calm game made all the fans drowsy.Not to mention that the San Antonio Spurs have always been like this, but the Los Angeles Lakers also played like this, which made the fans unhappy. Many fans who watched the game left messages at night, "This is a dead game without anything to watch. "

With the final game of the regular season at NO.18 and the Houston Rockets, the regular season game ended with a big victory.The management of the Houston Rockets was very depressed. Jeremy Lin was not in good shape at the beginning of the season, and did not continue the madness of the New York Knicks last season. Later, the team introduced James Harden and positioned him as the core player of the team. That's where the misfortune began, as James Harden and Jeremy Lin battled for possession.In the middle of the season, James Harden's one-month truce due to a sprained ankle and a slight fracture gave Jeremy Lin a chance to reproduce Lin's madness.After James Harden returned from injury, his state declined and he was completely suppressed by Jeremy Lin. It can be said that he temporarily lost his position as the leader of the team. The Rockets also had ups and downs due to the battle between the two, and finally missed the playoffs. The Houston Rockets have missed the playoffs for four consecutive seasons.

The Los Angeles Lakers finished the regular season with a record of 68 wins and 73 losses.Although such a record is no longer the glory of last season's 20 wins and nine losses, it is still the best record in the league, and he won his regular season championship.In order to praise the team, the team also specially distributed red envelopes of [-] US dollars to the players (without Anzhu).

The Los Angeles Lakers, who ended the regular season, got a two-week break. The playoffs will kick off in May. The first opponent of the Los Angeles Lakers is the Dallas Mavericks, which were swept by it in the regular season.

For the playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers have only one goal-the championship. The other endings are failures for them. If they cannot successfully defend their title, they will definitely experience a big change during the offseason.
