Super Small Forward

People, always have to be happy, even if there are no happy things, you still have to be happy, otherwise you will not be angry for so long.

Mike Malone has been so comforting himself.

In the Kings team last season, he became the head coach for the first time. He played very well with Cousins ​​and made Cousins ​​very happy to play. For the first time in his career, he averaged 25+12 per game. Fully developed the potential of, although the record is not good, but Cousins' performance makes the fans very excited, properly the first center's data.

Just when he thought he started his coaching career by this, George Carr expressed his interest in the position of the head coach of the Kings, and then the general manager of the Kings directly fired him...

Fortunately, he allowed Cousins ​​to average 25+12 per game from a player who averaged 17 points and 9 rebounds per game last season. This reflects the ability to develop potential players and is used by the Nuggets with a large number of young potential stocks. Fancy, reached a two-year contract, once again returned to the position of head coach.

When he first arrived in the Nuggets, the Nuggets had Lawson, Will Button, Gallinari, Farid, Jokic, Nurkic... a lot of young players with explosive talents, he was very excited. I feel like I'm going to stand up again.

Who knew that Lawson was traded as soon as he signed the contract with the Nuggets, which made him feel incredible. This is a super point guard who averaged double assists per game!

But he still comforted himself, be a man, be a little happier, isn't he also selected the No. 1 high school student in the United States that year, Mudiay.

And when the Rockets opened the game, Lawson made 1 of 18 shots, and he was instantly balanced. It seems that the management has long discovered that Lawson will suddenly slip off the cliff.

But then when Mudiay averaged 33% of his field goals and 29% of his three-pointers, he really didn't feel happy.

Facts have proved that with the Nuggets this lineup, George Karl can play well. This group of people is not good at it! Poor shots and strong shots, all of them are a group of athletic men who can't play a slightly more complicated tactic. He finally understood why Brian Shaw would leave sadly.

And now Mike Malone’s experience is worse than that of Brian Shaw. At that time, there was still a normal Lawson. It was really complex tactics that could not be played. It could also allow Lawson to run and blast, and now he has become Mu Die...

Mike Malone said to the management happily: How about we compete for Simmons next year?

The most entangled thing about Mike Malone is that this group of players really can't play any good results, but they won't be particularly bad. Now they are 10 wins and 16 losses, completely missed from the No. 1 pick, but also missed the playoffs...

Mike Malone was very impressed when he saw the Lakers lineup. To say that the team in the league with the most similar lineup to the Lakers, and the team with the same level of talent, happened to be the Nuggets he coached.

If D'Antoni were to coach the Nuggets, he would probably have the same record as George Carr at the best coaching level.

But after all, he is just Mike Malone, not D'Antoni, not George Karl...

So he is watching Clarkson’s second-round pick of last season hit his lottery show this year, and then looking for something happy, at least inside the first round pick Nurkic selected in 2014 and the second round pick in 2014 Jokic performed well and did not lose out in the contest with Monroe. Monroe is just a substitute this year. He used to be a player who started at least 15+10 in his second year and was a proper first-class center.

Although both Jokic and Nurkic have some disadvantages to Monroe, it is a matter of experience. After all, Monroe has played for 5 years for the sixth year, and both are still second-year players.

What the Nuggets are happy about now is to wait for these two centers to play. As for Mudiay... I still look forward to Will Barton, who is against McCollum, can grow into an all-around combo guard, and Jokey Qi also has a good passing ability. Both of them have grown up. Organizationally enough, Mudiay... has already chosen, what else can be done.

Mike Malone doesn’t think about Porzingis. That’s too far. It’s almost falling to the second round and no one is selected, and he is not necessarily better than Jokic. Mike Malone is worried about the 13th in the first round. Devin Booker, who was picked by the Suns, is a rookie shooting guard who averaged 15 points per game!

But Mike Malone is still happy today, after all, the team is ahead...Although none of the Lakers' five strongest players are in...

...

The Lakers took a wide-ranging rotation today. LaVine, Clarkson, and McCollum were rotated in the backcourt, and Moody’s defense broke out. Nick Young and Gallinari in the frontcourt faced Biao, inside Gasol, Monroe, Biyombo and Black. Confronted with Farid, Jokic, and Nurkic.

The defense of both sides is not good, but the scene is very good. Although the Nuggets have not had a particularly good organization point, but the talent is really good. Apart from the point guard being abused by Clarkson and LaVine, they are no better than the Lakers in other aspects. difference.

The five big stars of the Lakers and future superstars sat on the sidelines, watching the substitute-based players on the court losing to the Nuggets, and watching D'Antoni's face flushed, and his face was speechless.

It doesn't matter if you have a good starting lineup. How about playing the eleventh in the Western Conference?

D'Antoni was embarrassed. He was looking at a ten-win team at the time, so he didn't care at all. He went directly to persuade Antetokounmpo, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside, who should have started, to rest today. Let the benches have more opportunities to play.

The five didn't think too much, thinking that D'Antoni had the confidence to win, and the Nuggets did not have a good record. From the perspective of wind evaluation, there is no such a brutal bench as the Lakers.

However, D'Antoni didn't expect it either!

A team that is hard to make in the playoffs, how can D'Antoni pay attention to them? How can he know that the Nuggets won the ten games like this...

Just rely on talent, don't care about anything else, just rely on talent to win ten games, regardless of tactics, defense, all rely on talent.

Compared with talent, the Nuggets guys are comparable to the Lakers. Seven or eight talented men, but they have not fully grown up, and they have not allowed Mike Malone to play Princeton's passer, but they are really talented. , The Lakers lost the second team...

The five superstars and future superstars of the Lakers were also very irritable at the beginning. If you say yes, just win and let the benches find a mental balance! This has been exploded, alright!

But the five of them didn’t react. What can I do? They were not on the active list today. They were wearing suits on the Nuggets’ home court with the same movements, both hands on the knees, and looked at D'Antoni with a grudge. D'Antoni was able to hold his face through the infrared and was very embarrassed by the five people. The six people formed the only landscape that Lakers fans thought this game was interesting...

119 to 110, the Nuggets ended the Lakers' winning streak at home.

The offensive side of the Lakers was really okay in this game. The key is that the Nuggets are all talented and offensive. The Lakers' bench defense is also average. A few are not defensive at all, and it is reasonable to lose.

Then, sure enough, D'Antoni was criticized by the reporter who came with the team from Los Angeles. The five Lakers in suits did not help share the burden. Who made this work by D'Antoni...

After playing the Thunder and Nuggets' two consecutive away games, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles, and defeated the Thunder and Hornets back to back on the 21st and 22nd at home.

The Lakers were ready to play the Thunder, but the Thunder just finished the fourth game of 7 days and 5 games, and it was the second back-to-back game. Westbrook is okay, Durant is really tired, Donovan The coach was afraid that Durant would think that he was too tired and injured like last season. Westbrook's knee has been worrying the Thunder management. So coach Donovan directly put the double and the few off in this game, and the Lakers easily won the game.

The second game against the Hornets did not have much to watch. The Hornets did play well this year. They had Kemba Walker, McGigi, and Al Jefferson. They introduced Jeremy Lin and Batum in the summer, and added the name Coach Steve Clifford's excellent coaching ability has become a spoiler in the East this year.

But it's just a mess. It's not a big problem to enter the playoffs in the East, but it's obviously impossible to go far. The top four in the East are still very rigid.

The only highlight of this game is that Jeremy Lin returned to the Lakers home court to receive the championship ring. I am very grateful for Jeremy Lin’s contribution last season. Lakers fans are still very grateful. When Antetokounmpo has not grown up and LaVine is still a rookie, Jeremy Lin It helped Clarkson to withstand the pressure of so many super point guards in the league at the point guard position, and helped the Lakers win the championship again after a lapse of 4 years, and was the 17th to tie the Celtics. champion.

Jeremy Lin is also very emotional, even if he has complaints about the Lakers, after all he can only play as a substitute when he is counterattacked by a rookie, and he hasn't produced good data in the contract year. Even though there is a championship guard's bonus, he did not get what he expected. Same salary as last season.

However, the love of the championship is priceless. Jeremy Lin and his teammates have a good relationship. When Kobe called the ring to Jeremy Lin, he still cried.

After the warmth scene was over, it was Kobe that was tyrannical against Jordan's team. Today Kobe's running position is as active as the Thunder. Green is also very active and constantly picks and rolls for Kobe without the ball, Antetokounmpo and LaVine Kobe’s pass was also very timely. Kobe, a guy who likes to “treat” all kinds of animals, had more than 20 open cell phone meetings in the audience. After some Hornets changed defense, Kobe faced the defense of Kemba Walker or Jeremy Lin who was shorter than himself. In the singles at the time, Kobe made 15 of 27 shots and scored 44 points today.

Liu Ren was very desperate. Kobe performed well today and led the Lakers to play against the Hornets. So D'Antoni asked him to watch Kobe’s skills on the sidelines and clocked in after the first quarter. Fortunately, he saw Kobe in the first quarter. Being so positive has a very bad premonition. I waved a few three-pointers decisively. I had good luck and feel. Three-pointers were 3 of 4, plus a tip and a breakthrough. The first quarter was 5 of 6 and scored 13 points. Anyway, I scored in double figures...

With 25 wins and 4 losses, the Lakers' record this year is indeed worse than the same period last season, but there is no way. Last season, the Lakers made up their minds to break the Bulls record after hitting their surprising record from the beginning. Raising the record to 74 wins is a height where there is no confidence to break again, so this year neither D'Antoni nor the Lakers thought of continuing to break the record. They should be on a rotation, which is almost normal than last season. .

After the Lakers played the Thunder and Hornets back-to-back, the Lakers got two days off, and the next game was the Christmas game.

The opponent of the Lakers' Christmas game is the Warriors who have won 28 consecutive victories!

On the second day after the Lakers and Hornets game ended, that is, on December 23, the Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in an away game, won 29 consecutive victories, and then did not return to Oakland, directly live in Los Angeles, and because of Oakland Very close to Los Angeles, the Warriors management and coaching staff made an exception to allow the Warriors players to take their wives and children to Los Angeles, and then contracted a large estate in Beverly Hills, allowing the Warriors players to be a family on the road. Christmas Eve.

Thanks to the Warriors’ Christmas game, they went to Los Angeles to play away. Otherwise, it would be another sad night that would not be possible to spend Christmas Eve with the family, and everyone on the team would spend Christmas Eve together.

Of course, there are also the bad luck of the Cavaliers. If you want to go to play New York away, there is no way. The Christmas game is usually the home of the two sides to play in the larger city. The Cavaliers and Knicks are the two most watched **** in the East. The team, the Christmas battle, it’s normal that the ratings are beginning to decline due to aesthetic fatigue.

This year’s Christmas game has five games. The first game was the Cavaliers’ away game against the Knicks, then the Hawks went to Toronto and the Raptors for the Spurs system battle, the third game was the Lakers vs. the Warriors, and the fourth game was the Spurs and the Rockets. In the Texas Civil War, the Thunder challenged the Clippers in the last game.

The Clippers are unlucky again, and even with the Thunder, because the Lakers will have to warm up on the freshly cleaned floor after changing the floor at most an hour after the game, and then play the game.

There is usually a problem with freshly changed floors, and only the Lakers and Clippers often encounter problems, that is, slipping. Everyone can only play very carefully, and the good-looking level of the game will also decrease.

This is another thing that makes the Clippers owner Ballmer feel so worried that he wants to change home immediately...

On the morning of the 24th ~www.readwn.com~ Liu Ren took his family to Curry and Thompson's invitation and came to the manor rented by the Warriors.

The Warriors rented places in Beverly Hills, two or three minutes’ drive from Liu Ren and Kobe’s home. Naturally, they have to invite the Lakers players to gather together and exchange their feelings. No one can say which day they will be. Become a teammate, because the Warriors and Lakers players are very talented, and the Thunder are invited together.

For the Thunder, the Warriors treat them somewhat differently. After all, the relationship is not so good. The relationship between Randall and Ibaka and Adams is also relatively bad. The two teams also had friction on the court during the regular season last season. Randall almost I was hit by Ibaka's younger brother... I asked Durant because of his friendship with the company, and I asked Westbrook to appreciate his ability. As for the rest of the Thunder... To tell the truth, the Warriors, a group of players who have won 29 consecutive victories, simply look at it. Not on.

Someone invited guests to dinner, Liu Ren and Da Lolita were very happy, no need to cook today!

So Liu Ren became famous again, and brought the chick, big loli, two little loli, and a pregnant woman to the manor rented by the Warriors in a business car...
