Chapter 587: [On the way to internal division]

The preseason record was average, and the Lakers still ranked first in the official strength list.
No expert underestimates the Lakers and is afraid of being beaten. Almost everyone is optimistic about the Lakers’ three consecutive championships. The most discussed online fans are hoping that the Lakers lineup will disintegrate and increase the competitiveness of the game. I thought of the Lakers "hugging thighs."
Despite the talents of the team, the Lakers management has not completely rejected the veteran's request, the signing of big-name veterans is a good gimmick. So Kupchak signed veteran point guard Gary Payton on the base salary.
Payton is 38 years old, knowing that this is his last year, he will not ask for playing time, nor will he grab the ball, he wants to mix a championship ring. His main job on the team is to be a mascot, plus imparting some experience to young outside players.
Payton realized his dream before retiring and will leave a good story. This is not a small blow to the Heat. The veteran's "opt-in enemy" is obviously not optimistic about the Heat. They have been locked in salary space. When Payton left, he could not introduce a powerful substitute, and the No. 1 position will be weak. .
In the opener, all teams are reluctant to touch the Lakers. They have won every year, which is too morale.
The two openers arranged by the league are the Lakers Vs Suns and the Heat Vs Bulls.
The Lakers are strong, leading from beginning to end, beating their opponents 124 to 1o1. Although it was not a big win, the Lakers did not play in the last quarter. The game entered garbage time early, and the Sun could no longer pose a threat to the Lakers.
When he first joined the Sun that year, O'Neal was the hottest inside star in the league, but his condition fell after his injury. By this season, his personal ability is no longer as good as Stardamer.
Grant Hill's existence prevented the Sun from introducing an excellent inside reinforcement team. Without Boris Dior and Kurt Thomas, the inside lacked people and was not as strong as Yang Rui's previous life.
It's not surprising that the Lakers won the game. What surprised people is that the Bulls beat the Heat by a score of 114 on the same day.
The Bulls only played McGrady for 32 minutes, scoring 26 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. The others played within 3 minutes. The Bulls repressed their opponents with Duhon and Crawford's swing.
Only Wade scored double figures in the Heat, scoring 25 points, O'Neal made 3 of 1o, 2 of 1 free throws, 7 points and 5 rebounds. This season, O'Neal slipped to the point that the Bulls didn't even need the shark-cutting tactics.
At this time, the Magic management regretted it, and traded Diop for a draft pick in order to prevent the fat. Now it seems a bit redundant.
The next day, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 113 to 95 back to back. The main force was another three quarters of rest. Yang Rui gave Honacek a face. After all, it was the home opener of the Warriors.
In the third game, the Lakers went home to win the Blazers 122 to 89.
The Blazers gathered up the rookie combination of Aldridge and Roy. But because of the "drug dealer" Randolph, Ade can only play off the bench, facing Odom, the game will have 2 points and 2 rebounds, a terrible show.
Roy also had a poor swing against Kobe, 5 of 16 shots, 3 of 3 3-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, only 16 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. The only thing commendable is his style of play, knowing that he should be on the court What to do.
Then, the Lakers beat the tone 128 to 1o2.
On the 7th, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 115 to 88, without encountering any challenges, and easily won five straight.
The Lakers also exposed some problems. Yao Ming’s data fell, Kobe increased his shots, and his desire to score was strong. Iguodala and Rashid Wallace also wanted to get better data. The offense was very aggressive, but the efficiency was not as good as above. Season.
The selfishness of the players began to show.
Kobe will pass to Yao Ming without seeing the opportunity. He wants to prove that he is the first core of the team, better than Yao Ming. It used to be an assist, but now it is an assist. Kobe wants to get more personal honor, otherwise even if he and Jordan have the same six rings, most people will not say that he is more Jordan.
Iguodala is unwilling to be a role player all his life, he has the potential to become a star; Rashid is ready to jump out of the contract after the end of this season, to fight for a high salary and long contract, can not only have a score of 1o.
Yang Rui knew that the current internal situation of the Lakers cannot be solved by doing ideological work and communicating more. When everyone wants to be better, the only way to stay competitive is to change the lineup.
After a 9-game winning streak, the Lakers lost, losing to the Raptors at home.
Vince Carter proved that he is still a star, scoring 32 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.
Billups also had a clear advantage in position 1, scoring 25 points and 6 assists. After Mo Williams left, although the Lakers had four point guards, none of them were qualified.
Three days later, the Lakers lost to the Bulls at home. At the last moment of the two sides, McGrady made a layup and shot a quasi-killer. Kobe then missed the jumper and missed the basket.
The most ridiculous thing is that the Lakers lost to the Jazz 1o8 to 114 on November 24, bursting into a big cold.
Boozer scored 31 points, 16 rebounds and 2 assists. Hinrich also had 18 points and 12 assists. Under Sloan's training, they now feel like Malone and Stockton.
Hinrich has become stronger, averaging 16.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.3 steals, shooting 44.8% from the field and 41.5% from three. Jazz's tactics have a plus on point guard data.
The substitute Fisher, Kirisek, Haplin, David Lee, and Jalen Collins unexpectedly suppressed the Lakers bench gangster, and the three scored in double figures.
Although the Lakers beat the Jazz at home at the end of the month, 132 to 1o2 victory, but people are now, they are not as invincible as the previous two seasons.
An empire destroyed by external forces can rise, but an internally divided empire will perish forever. This season, the Lakers are already on the road to internal division.
The Lakers players also made a mistake that the strong side often makes-underestimate the enemy!
They play very casually ~EbookFREE.me~ will not win as before, they can sacrifice personal data.
In December, the Lakers lost another three games. Last season, they lost a total of eight games. Now they have lost six games in two months.
Yang Rui has lowered his profile a lot this season and will not eat snacks on the sidelines. He will not speak arrogantly at the press conference after the game. It's not that he didn't have the confidence to win three consecutive championships, but that he coached the team too.
No matter how hard-working people are, they will become inert during a certain period of time. Since you can win the game by playing casually, the record you have broken is also broken. There is no pursuit in the regular season. Why not relax?
In the previous life of Yang Rui, the Bulls and Lakers players have relaxed, so the third team of the two teams played very difficult. The Bulls and the Suns battled in six games. The Lakers' Western Conference finals were almost eliminated by the Kings.
The only bright spot for the Lakers this month is the Christmas War. The league has only arranged one Christmas war this season. The Lakers beat the Heat 135 to 73 away.
O'Neal missed due to injury, and veteran Mo Ning was bullied badly. Mo Ning is about to retire and is still contributing to the Heat. His personality is admirable, but his strength can no longer be compared with Yao Ming.
Yao Ming scored 34 points, 21 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steals and 4 blocks and ruled the penalty area. Mourning could only play around 2o minutes per game. He came off the field and the backup center Michael Doriak was not an opponent.
The inside line attracted a double-ball and the outside line also got a good scoring opportunity. The Lakers substitute Capono has a good swing, 4 of 7 shots, 3 of 4 3-pointers, and 11 points in 14 minutes.
Only three of the Heat scored in double figures. Wade was trapped and defended and turned into a blacksmith. With 15 free throws from 16 shots, he only got 26 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.
