Vol 3 Chapter 354: 3 newcomers to the Lakers


For nba, there are many ways to distinguish between strong and ordinary strong teams. Sometimes, some teams are not very high ranking. In the minds of the media and fans, their strength is even better than some high-ranking teams. Teams are stronger, although this situation is generally not much in NBA, one season or two teams like to play dead during the regular season.
In general, it is quite simple to distinguish between a strong team and a regular strong team under normal circumstances. That is, looking directly at the regular season rankings, the top four in the division are the strong teams. Such a ball The team has a very great possibility to compete for the division championship, and even won the championship in the playoffs. In the history of nba, the nba championships have appeared in the top four in the regular season in the past 50 years. Teams that are ranked, that is to say, teams ranked lower than the top four in the regular season, that is absolutely impossible to win the championship!
In fact, this is also very simple. The team ranked lower than the top four means that from the first round, there is no home advantage, from the first round, to the second round, until the third round, and finally to In the finals, after four rounds of competition, each round has no home advantage, and it is still a team that is stronger than yourself. Such a situation is understandable once. It is a miracle that it is twice. Cold three times and cold four times, that is basically impossible!
So, don’t look before, Lin Han always likes to say that when he is interviewed, his Lakers always set the goal in the championship position. In this case, everyone can really say that, after all, the mouth is long What to say on your mouth. No one can control, but these declarations of Lin Han, or these declarations of the Lakers. Many nba experts or journalists and media are just laughing, and no one believes at all!
Even some time ago. The Lakers performed very well, and even had a 14-game winning streak. When Lin Han said that his team was going to compete for the championship, no one would believe it, because the Lakers have always ranked sixth. Bit!
In the history of NBA, there is no one regular-season team that won the championship, let alone the sixth, even the fifth. The reason why the Nuggets were so crazy last season as the seventh in the West, almost all of the United States was shocked. That is because the Nuggets almost cut the supersonic and rockets in the seventh ranking, and they were only one step away to create a miracle. But in the end it was a loss!
Therefore, in the current NBA, if you want to compete for the championship, just talking about it is useless, you have to take real action, if the regular season division ranking can not enter the top four. Everything is empty, the first four and the last four are really different.
It is precisely because of this, when the Lakers beheaded the Suns on the road to the top four. The reason why the American media and fans are so crazy, because the short answer is that Lin Han and the Lakers really have the qualification to compete for the championship!
A team that is considered to have no possibility of entering the playoffs before the start of the season, and a team that is considered to be the top pick of the top pick is actually eligible to compete for the championship. Who can think of Nima? This is even more incredible than Lin Han's regular season mvp this season!
After all, although the regular season mvp thing has a lot to do with the record, the most important thing is actually the data ability based on a certain record. At least before the start of the season, there are definitely more people who believe that Lin Han takes mvp than people who believe that the Lakers enter the top four in the west!
of course. After the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Suns on the road and stepped into the top four in the West, the entire NBA public opinion circle was really sensational. Last season's Finals mvp appeared once again on the waiting list for the championship this season. Although the Lakers are only the fourth in the Western Conference, it seems that in the first four Western Conference, they can beat the third Jazz. The first Rockets and the second Spurs all seem to be higher than the Lakers. Even the Rockets are unbeaten when facing the Lakers so far this season, so this team looks from now on, not to mention the championship. , Even if it breaks out of the west.
But what seems impossible is not necessarily impossible. At the very least, the Lakers have this qualification. Previously, they didn't even have this qualification!
Therefore, when the Lakers returned from Phoenix, when these guys walked out of the Los Angeles airport, they were almost greeted by a large number of Los Angeles media and fans.
There is no way. The last time the Lakers scored in the top four of the division was the 90-91 season. The Lakers and Magic Johnson that season, and after that season, this has passed four seasons, as the league's first strongest. Team, most of the Lakers fans are watching the Magic game grow up, although the Los Angeles Lakers and Celtics fans seem to be more patient than the fans of many other teams, will not appear that This kind of upstart mentality, but this does not mean that they can really be content with their team has always been in a lower ranking position, they usually do not put pressure on the team and players, just feel unnecessary, not They don't want their team to rank higher.
And now, when the Lakers finally reached the top four again, this is indeed a very memorable moment.
Of course, the Los Angeles Lakers fans have been really crazy after the Lakers reached the top four recently. The whole Los Angeles has even fallen into ecstasy. Lin Han and Jerry West have once again become Los Angeles media. With the objects touted by fans, if Jerry West refused the Sun’s deal and chose to leave Lin Han, a large part of the media is not so supportive, then now, when the Lakers step on the sun directly to the fourth in the west At this time, almost all of these sounds disappeared.
The joke, the previously seemingly powerful champion Sun, is now sixth in the West and is still ranked under the Los Angeles Lakers. That is to say, the current Los Angeles Lakers have exceeded the Suns in value, and this The value is still the current value. With the growth of Lin Han's strength and the growth of the Lakers players, the Lakers will definitely be stronger than now!
In this case, unless a fool would be willing to accept the Suns' trade offer, it must be said that the general manager of the Suns Colangelo is really far-sighted. I chose to smash the Lakers and Jerry West directly from the beginning, but in the end, although most of the Lakers management and media did show signs of being smashed. But in the end, Jerry West still kept the bottom line, when the Los Angeles Lakers stepped on the sun to climb the top four in the west. I am afraid that the Lakers boss Lao Bas, who is still in Phoenix at this time, will be quite complicated!
For the Los Angeles Lakers, as long as this team can maintain the fourth place in the West at the end of the season, then based on the financial strength of this team and the team's strong ranking, then this team this summer The attractiveness of the free market will definitely be more than one grade stronger than last summer. The reason why the Bulls went to the Magic last season is not because the Magic has a strong position? I think the Magic can beat the Bulls with him, and if the Lakers had a strong fourth position in the division, Grant might have come to the Lakers.
of course. This summer, things are still far away. Now the Los Angeles Lakers players don't think so far after returning to Los Angeles.
When the Lakers returned to Los Angeles after a series of consecutive road trips, there was a big change within the team. That was the legendary old man, the former head coach of Princeton University. The creator, Pete Carrel, is already a little thankful, and the man is already blessed. The chubby little man with a squint smile does not look at all like a dignified and famous godfather coach. It's like an old grandpa next door.
When the gray-haired bald and chunky grandpa came to the team, the Lakers happened to be on an away trip. This guy came to the team two days ago, according to the former coach Magic Johnson. The old man originally planned to come to the team at the end of the All-Star game, but I don’t know why. In the end, he came early and listened to the director of operations of the Los Angeles Lakers, which is the most proud disciple of this old man at Princeton University, Joe. Fypitri said that the reason why the old man came to the Los Angeles Lakers in advance is that the old man didn't bring a family with him, and he didn't have any time to settle down. After resigning at Princeton University, he went directly to the Los Angeles Lakers. Then he moved into his house.
As the deputy general manager and director of operations of the Los Angeles Lakers, he is also the first deputy president of the former Blazers and the largest actual operator of the Blazers. Although Joe Petrie didn’t have the money of the current NBA players, he didn’t live in such a large mansion, but there was also a room in the Los Angeles house for this old man. The key is that this old man was like his father. A dad who lived in the house was already quite trembling and frightened. Okay, now I live in two dads.
Although the Lakers have a lot of sympathy for the deputy general manager of the team, but the old man can come to the team in advance, which is also very beneficial to the team, but what makes the Los Angeles Lakers players quite uncomfortable is that this After the old man came to the team, he did not start to spread his tactical system, nor did he start to teach other Lakers players how to run tactics and how to play Princeton. 18-year-old young player Wang Zhizhi is full of interest!
This old guy didn’t have any interest in the Los Angeles Lakers nba-level insiders. He was really interested in the little sparring. I heard that when the old man came to the team two days ago, there was no Lakers on the team’s training ground. Players, only a few sparring players are doing daily training. Soon after this old man turned around, he fell in love with Wang Zhizhi, an 18-year-old!
To say that this old guy is in love with Wang Zhizhi, this is nothing. After all, for the current Lakers players, they really did not treat Wang Zhizhi as an outsider. Since this little guy came to the team on the first day, he taught Rodman a meal. After that, this extremely shy kid was quite confusing in the Lakers, plus the care of the Lakers coach Jerry West and the team coach, speaking of this guy is sparring, in fact, he enjoys the players in the Lakers The salary is the highest in the sparring training, but he has not done much hard training. Instead, he has been training with the team’s official players. Even the team’s assistant coach will guide his training separately. The physiotherapist will even do physical adjustments for him. Even when this little guy wants to learn Lin Han's footsteps, Lin Han also taught him hand in hand.
It can be said that fools can all tell that Jerry West and Magic Johnson are intentionally cultivating him. And he will be selected to the team in the draft next season.
Therefore, the Lakers up and down really did not treat Wang Zhizhi as an outsider, but even so. This old man's interest in an 18-year-old young man is greater than that of these old nba players. Isn't this a good old man looking down on them?
therefore. In the past two days, the opinions of the Lakers players, especially the team's inside players, are quite large, especially Aron Williams and Antonio Harvey, these two guys are the team's starting center this season. Although the strength is very general, but it is also the starter of the top four teams in the west, based on their ability. Putting them on the junk team like the Clippers, they are also the starting level. Although Wang Zhizhi's potential is indeed excellent, he has such a technical ability at the age of 18. This matter is unbelievable. It is top-notch in the United States, but after all, this kid is still young, and they are already famous players of NBA, as famous players. Being compared with such a little guy, and being ignored directly by an old man, it is quite uncomfortable for anyone who encounters this situation.
This team is such an old man. Lin Han also thought it was very interesting. Lin Han originally thought this old man was a good-looking old man, but judging from the old man’s approach, this made it clear that he was going to give the Lakers players a dismount. If this old man As soon as I came up, I pointed to the Lakers. I am afraid that this group of Lakers players with a good record in the recent period may not be acceptable. In this case, the Lakers are deliberately ignored at this time because of their excellent record. Players, and deliberately put their eyes on something else. Isn't this the way Lin Han conquered Rodman? It just changed a little bit!
So, the other Lakers players. It was really impossible to see what the old man was doing, but the IQ was not the highest for the Lakers. Lin Han could see at a glance what the old man with "shameless" wanted to do. At the time Lin Han's idea was to wait for Rodman to crawl over and admit that he wanted to join. This old man may not have this idea, but he definitely has the same thought.
Although this somewhat shady old man is using Wang Zhizhi as a tool, it can be seen that this old man is quite satisfied with this tool. Even Lin Han can see that this old man is excited to teach Wang Zhizhi how to pass the ball. How to find your teammates, how to stand on the offensive end and find the time to cover, this is definitely from the heart, not pretending to look like it, this old guy looks like the magician and Jerry West, I'm really optimistic about this Tianchao player who is less than 18 years old but has a very mature technical ability.
"Really an interesting old man"
Looking at the smiling godfather, the godfather of Princeton University who trained Wang Zhizhi alone, he was also smiling at this time.
This new technical advisor to the Lakers gave the Lakers an inside player a disappointment as soon as he came to the team. This made many Lakers insiders quite uncomfortable with the old man at this time, but thought that the old man was in the team. Their status can not be shown. This old man who can really determine their position on the team is built as a team tactic. He is even more qualified than the head coach Magic Johnson to say who can start. , Who must substitute, or even who must leave!
Of course, this old man is beating the insiders of the Lakers. This had nothing to do with Lin Han and their outsiders, but when a guy entered the team, Lin Han and their outside players really did not hold back Living!
"What exactly does this old guy want to do? After coming to the team, it's enough to keep his mind on Wang's body. What is that big high school student? Is it necessary for that old guy to be so excited? Is it? Fancy his big ass?!"
As a high school student invited by Lin Han this year's All-Star rookie challenge, he is also a native of Los Angeles. With only 2 days left in the All-Star rookie game, this senior senior came to Los Angeles to find Lin Han. This is a very normal thing. As the captain of the legendary team, if Paul Pierce wants to have more opportunities in the legendary team, he naturally needs to have a good relationship with Lin Han. At that time, as long as he performs well in the All-Star rookie game, whether it is Enter the university or directly draft. This is a very good stage, you know, Garnett is not because of the outstanding performance of last year's All-Star rookie game. This year I want to participate in the draft as a high school student. It seems that the pick has been predicted to the top five or even the top three. It's not necessarily a high school student who won the title.
You know, proving yourself in the All-Star rookie game means that players have the strength to stand on nba1, which is very important for the draft of each team, because even the players may not be able to prove that they own Based on the strength of nba, because they have never played nba games, even if they are really against the sky in college data, except for a few talents. Most players cannot prove that they can really succeed in NBA. Even some talented players may not guarantee that they can adapt to NBA games. However, due to the regulations of the league, NBA teams are not allowed at the time of the draft. Organizing nba-level games, in this case, their investigation of rookies is also very simple, and the understanding of rookies is also very little. In this case, it has further contributed to the talent selection of some teams. practice. No way, talented players, even if they really don't adapt to nba. They still have the opportunity to have time. If they don’t even have talents, if they don’t get used to nba, they’re really useless!
And Garnett's performance last year proved that he is not only talented, but also able to adapt to the NBA game rhythm. Therefore, this is a double insurance player. If you choose a player who will never lose money! Therefore, it is understandable that some draft media in the United States have considered Garnett to be the top pick this year because he has played nba games. And it succeeded, that's it. Even those geniuses have no advantage in front of Garnett.
This is why the league came up with the rookie game reform. The reason why a high school student quota is so scarce, because this is a better way to join nba than entering!
Of course, because of family reasons, Pierce had a difficult life when he was a child. But a few years ago, after his two older brothers had established a family and established a career, and one brother was still in the major leagues of the United States, he was with other black children. Not the same, unlike Garnett or Iverson, who was short of money, so Pierce’s wish was to go to a university and hit a dozen. After all, in the United States, most young people are very yearning Of course, Garnett is a wonderful flower, not counted.
However, when Jordan came back this season, Paul Pierce gave up the idea a little bit reluctantly!
As the best player of high school students in California this year, he has always been called Little Lin Han of California, but Pierce’s idol is not Lin Han, just like this guy is in Los Angeles, but his favorite team is not the Lakers, this is A very special young man, he joined Lin Han's training camp from the beginning just for the high school student quota.
Although he really wanted to play, he was more looking forward to being able to compete with Jordan on the same stage earlier than he did!
Although Pierce is different from many young players, he has no favorite team. As a native of Los Angeles, when the whole Los Angeles loved the Lakers and Magic, when his family was all Lakers and Magic fans He is not very cold to the Lakers led by the Magic, and even this kid hates the Lakers No. 33 who looks scary with glasses in the game.
Similarly, he doesn't have any players he particularly likes. Whether it is Lin Han or Jordan, he doesn't like it so much. Of course, he likes to watch the game of these two people, but he doesn't admire these two people very much. Even if he can, he hopes to beat Jordan or Lin Han!
Well, this is a very special and ideal young man, just like Lin Han had vowed to beat Jordan after seeing Jordan's game.
Just to make Pierce quite uncomfortable is that when he came to the Los Angeles Lakers and wanted to find Lin Han Lala relationship, hoping to have some special play in this year's rookie game and prepare for himself to enter the NBA, he did not expect to be The old man grabbed the past, and he didn’t let him go after the past, which made the young high school student quite uncomfortable. However, because he is a young man, and the old man seems to be quite high in the Lakers, this It made him unable to resist at all. Can only be fooled by the old man.
And seeing the more and more excited eyes in the old man's eyes, Pierce was a little scared for a moment, already thinking in his heart. Does this old man have a special hobby? Especially when he saw Wang Zhizhi's baby's fat cheeks and his equally small butt, Pierce felt more and more likely.
of course. At this time in the heart of Pierce, the old man Carell was a pervert, but this young man did not expect that he was also not a good person in the eyes of other outside players of the Lakers.
If Pierce knew that these Lakers players would think this way, I'm afraid they couldn't find a place to cry.
Of course, most of the Lakers outside players are really uncomfortable when facing the group of outsiders who Carril beats the Lakers through Pierce, even if the team is not as good as Wang Zhizhi. On the offensive end, there is really no one inside the Lakers who is better than Wang Zhizhi, but like Eddie Jones said, what is this big high school student all about?
Without Lin Han and Dominique Wilkins, even Van Exel and Eddie Jones have the ability to abuse this guy to death!
Although, this big seems to have good potential when being played around by the old man at random, but this potential is really not enough to see among these outside players of the Lakers, even Rufen and Avery Stuart may not be as good as this big high school student. They really don't know what point Carrell took in Pierce.
The old man's shameful way of bullying the Lakers players, Lin Han looked at it on the side and wanted to laugh, especially when he saw Pierce's reluctant look. And the same look he sent to him every time he looked for help, Lin Han really thought the old man was really interesting.
I am afraid that not only Lin Han would think that even Johnson, the team’s head coach, would have such a view at this time. Of course, compared to Lin Han’s constant attention to Carrel, the magician Johnson’s eyes have been On Pierce's body, and with the passage of time, the eyes in his eyes even became more and more bright!
When Pete Carrel came to the Lakers with his Princeton tactical system, Lin Han and the Lakers players really did not expect this old man to make the team look like this. Although many Lakers players, it is really uncomfortable for this old man. But there is no way, who makes him really high in the team?
under these circumstances. The Los Angeles Lakers players almost all their energies on the team's next opponent, especially this opponent has won their Nuggets twice this season!
The Lakers faced the Nuggets, which is really a congenital deficiency. The Nuggets played one big and four small, especially after last season's killing supersonics and nearly killing the Rockets. The team’s tactics have become the team’s mainstream tactics. One big, four small and playing tactics makes it difficult for the Lakers, especially because the team’s interior is still one-on-one defense such as Mutombo Inside.
This makes the Lakers' tactics very difficult to play. Playing double inside is too slow. Playing single inside, one person can't withstand Mutombo, plus the Lakers' inner line is mainly defensive. Or that there is no offensive ability, then Mutombo's containment is quite limited, which allows Mutombo to completely target all Linhan or other Lakers players.
More importantly, although the Nuggets are more than one grade away from the original Jazz, this is also the tactical system that has experienced supersonic speeds and almost beat the Rockets. , How to play with this team? In the first two encounters, the Lakers were almost defeated. Mutombo was smashed 16 blocks in two games on this team, 9 in the first game and 7 in the second game. The Supersonics in the playoffs last season directly forced the Lakers to shoot wildly on the outside. This is how the Supersonics were destroyed last season. They couldn't get inside, they kept shooting outside, and they encountered the opponent's pressing defense and shot space. Not too big, this is strange if you don’t feel good!
The Lakers had the same meaning in the first two games. In addition to Lin Han being able to play with Mutombo, the others were really who went in and died. However, in the absence of teammates, Lin Han One-on-one with his defender ran to the inside to pick Mutumbo two, Lin Han's chances are actually not great.
However, in this game. The Lakers made a tactical change, Lin Han actually appeared in the center position again in this game!
Obviously, the Lakers are preparing for Lin Han to play Mutombo with his basket under the offensive end!
Because the Nuggets' defense style determines that they can't play contraction. This is both trust in Mutombo and their helplessness. When there is no outside sharp knife and everyone is defending next to the general situation, it is said to play forced snatching, in fact, all the defensive pressure is transferred to Mutombo.
In this case, if Lin Han can really use his own basket to beat Mutombo on the offensive end, then the Lakers are not without a chance to win!
Of course, Mutombo is not David Robinson, the two have different defensive styles. Although Mutombo is also a jumper, this guy is more capable of blocking than David Robinson and has a better field of vision in defense. You know, the original fantasy footsteps of Olajuwon last season. He didn't even play him. As for Lin Han's non-original dream footsteps, he could not play him. Lin Han himself was not very clear.
And after this game started, when Lin Han appeared in the center position, and after playing a few layups on the inside, and the average success rate. Lin Han knew that he wanted to play Mutombo in the same way as David Robinson was not so possible, but obviously. Lin Han doesn't need to really play dead Mutombo, when the Nuggets faced the Rockets at the last moment of last season, what was the reason for the Rockets' final counterattack? Wasn’t Olajuwon restraining Mutombo, in the end, a sharp knife played by Lin Han was inserted into the heart of the Nuggets, and the Nuggets were dead?
In this game, although Lin Han couldn't beat Mutombo, but after holding down Mutombo's energy, the offensive opportunities of Dominique Wilkins and Eddie Jones became more instantaneously!
Not to mention these two people, even Van Exel is the same. When the Nuggets' outside line was somewhat shaky under the attack of the Lakers, and Mutombo was held back by Lin Han. Soon the situation of this game completely changed!
Although the Lakers did not complete the pre-match deployment, they were absolutely successful in the results!
"Teacher. How is this team good?"
When the Los Angeles Lakers accidentally suppressed the Nuggets at home, in the stands on the field, this time the Lakers’ operations director Petrie was accompanying his teacher, and the new Lakers technical advisor, Master Carrier, and Looking at the performance of the Lakers in this game, Petrie is quite satisfied.
However, although he was very satisfied, what kind of idea the old man was, he was not very clear. He could only know that the old man had a smile on his face at this time.
"It is indeed a very good team, there are many players who match my goal"
After Petrie finished, Carrel looked at the Lakers No. 24 player on the court, and the Lakers consultant said with a smile.
This is not his flattery. This team does have a lot of players who meet his requirements, such as Lin Han, the boss of this team. Although it is said that what Lin Han showed in this game is not what Princeton needs, but As a consultant invited by the team, how could he never watch the Lakers game video.
Whether Lin Han is a three-pointer or a running position or a breakthrough with a ball, they are very suitable for Princeton, or Lin Han’s comprehensive can adapt to any tactical system. The key is whether he wants to be like the team’s tactical system. Jordan sacrificed his freedom of play like that.
In addition to Lin Han, Van Exel is also a suitable Princeton player. If this guy is willing to run, it will be perfect. He can make three points, can cut in, can run, and has a certain passing ability. This is his The most perfect point guard in the tactical system, Van Exel is qualified, but unlike Lin Han who does not fully meet his requirements, it needs to be adjusted [teaching]
As for Eddie Jones, the same is true, the qualifications are sufficient, but need to be improved and improved, as for Rodman, this kid is usually not obvious, but for this nba old player, Karel can still see him 'S golfer is definitely the tallest among the Lakers!
It’s probably the only place where it’s almost going to be Dominic Wilkins. Even if Dominic Wilkins is not suitable for Princeton’s tactical system, it’s OK to play a substitute with his ability, so this Laker is eligible to beat him. There are many players in the tactical system. Even the two most lacking inside players, this team also has one, but it hasn't entered the NBA yet.
Petrie did not lie to him. This Laker does already have the qualification to play Princeton's tactical system. Even if it needs to be improved, the improvement is not big, which is very easy to operate.
At this time, the Lakers who were playing the Nuggets on the court did not think that the old man was actually observing them, and they were also observing them more than the old man. Paul Pierce in the stands was seeing Lin Han using When his was sitting in the basket and hitting Mutombo, the young high school student was also a little bit excited, and even his eyes were flooded!
In the crazy cheering of the Lakers fans, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Nuggets 98-88 in their last game before the All-Star Game. UU read the book www.uukanshu.com finally An enemy who was continuously defeated by this team.
At the end of the game, as the host player, Lin Han still found Mutombo as usual, and gave him a hug with a smile.
Nothing else, just because this guy is a substitute player for this year's All-Star Game, Lin Han wants to pursue in this year's All-Star Game, then he must unite those players who do not have much opinion of him!
After the game between Los Angeles and the Nuggets, the Lakers also ended all the games before the All-Star Game, with 34 wins and 12 losses in 46 games. Such a record is already good enough for the Lakers.
Just look at this time the Lakers fans in the forum arena shouting Lin Han's name will be clear!
"This year's Lakers are definitely more than that!"
Looking at the crazy fans at the scene, Lin Han also shouted silently in his heart! (To be continued)
