The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 562 [Winning streak at the beginning, the alliance is invincible]

After seeing the comments online, Lakers owner Jerry Buss personally took action and invited Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant to dinner.

Yang Rui didn't know what he said specifically and didn't ask. He must have hoped that the two of them would be in harmony and happy.

The Lakers can easily attract stars to join them because of their geographical location and team heritage, but if conflicts between the internal and external core break out again, stars may not be willing to come. Buss must prevent this from happening.

Yang Rui is not worried that the "drug-taking group" will break up in recent years, and there will be no major conflicts among the role players. Once a dynasty is established, it will be difficult to predict. Everyone has selfish motives and ambitions will become bigger. With a ring, Who doesn't want more ball rights and higher wages? Who wants to be a lifelong role player?

In his previous life, Yang Rui discovered a problem when he was working as a white-collar worker on a website. Once a player gets a championship ring, the outside world will evaluate him and his mentality will be completely different. Even if the data is poor, he is just a marginal person. If he has a championship, he seems to be superior to others. When he goes out, he can talk about himself. is the champion puzzle.

There are many examples of this, and there are also many role players who are overvalued because they have multiple rings.

For example, Derek Fisher. In Yang Rui's previous life, Fisher was a point guard. His peak career statistics were obtained with the underdog Warriors. He averaged 31.6 minutes per game, 13.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 4.3 assists in shooting. The shooting percentage was 41% and the three-point shooting percentage was 39.7%.

In the Lakers, it was difficult for Fisher to score in double figures and even to assist 4. Such a person, just because of his many rings, became the representative of the best role players, and later became the president of the players union. In fact, there are many point guards who are suitable for holding on to the Lakers, who do not occupy the ball and can shoot three-pointers, but they are not as lucky as Fisher.

In the last two years of the Lakers' tenure, Fisher was the worst starting point guard in the league. Any faster point guard could beat him. Even so, countless fans still defended him, saying that his role could not be reflected in data until he was traded.

Yang Rui predicts that once the team wins three consecutive championships, Rasheed Wallace will definitely choose to jump out of his contract. Perhaps next season, he will consider taking more shots to make his data better. Working hard for the last big contract of his career.

If the Lakers choose to renew Iguodala, the team's salary space will also be locked up, and they will not be able to renew the contracts of all the heroes who won the championship. A major replacement will be necessary in the future.

The biggest difference between basketball and football is that no team can maintain a lineup for a long time. The Lakers will definitely expose many problems in the future, and what Yang Rui has to do is to try his best to add fresh blood through trades and drafts to maintain the team's competitiveness.

On a day off, the Lakers played against the Clippers at home, another easy victory, 116 to 97. The Clippers lost by less than 20 points and already performed well.

The Clippers are expected to make the playoffs this season. After many years, they are finally coming forward.

Kwame Brown ensures the defense of the penalty area, Kaman can open the mid-range shot, and has footwork in the low post; the newly added Dunleavy and Mobley ensure three-point firepower; point guard Cassel is experienced, can score, and can attack well. Well organized.

Dunleavy broke out as soon as he arrived at the Clippers. After the Knicks management poached Radmanovic, they felt that Dunleavy was useless and sent him to the Clippers to find his father.

Playing under his father, Dunleavy Sr., Dunleavy Jr. finally came to the end of his hardships and became a prince in Los Angeles. As a father, he naturally knows what style of play his son is good at, and his statistics have increased to 14 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

On the 20th, the Lakers defeated the Bulls again at home 103-96, starting with a 10-game winning streak.

The Bulls had a well-organized lineup and caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers, leading for three quarters.

Point guard Chris Duhon performed superbly, making 5 of 7 three-pointers, 7 of 12 from the field, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists.

McGrady scored 38 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Kobe and Iguodala couldn't guard him one-on-one.

But at the last moment, Kobe played better, scoring 7 points in a row.

The victory was sealed.

After signing up in the summer, the Bulls are still inferior to the Lakers, mainly because of the disadvantages inside. Yao Ming scored 24 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, better than Przbilla and newcomer Malik Allen.

This year, the Lakers played on Thanksgiving and defeated the SuperSonics 108-96 at home.

The SuperSonics are one of the weakest teams in the league, starting with 2 wins and 8 losses. The offense relies entirely on the shooting of Rashard Lewis and Ben Gordon. The Lakers players did not play tactics carefully, it was like a relaxed exhibition game, which saved the Sonics enough face, which they are very grateful for.

Ben Gordon's destiny has changed a lot from Yang Rui's previous life. This is only the second season of his career. He averaged 34 minutes per game, scored 21.7 points, 3 rebounds and 3.6 assists, shooting 45.5% from the field and 3-point shooting. 43.2%. If you just look at the data, Ben Gordon can definitely be selected as an All-Star. He has become the boss of the Sonics.

After two days of rest, the Lakers slaughtered the Nets 126-81.

Without Carter and Jefferson, the Nets now have a trident of Kidd, Stephen Jackson, and Martin, and their offense and defense are average.

The statistics of the Nets' two former All-Stars have both declined. The team's scoring leader is Jackson, who averages 19.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. He may be selected for the All-Star Game this season.

The bright spot of the Nets inside is second-year rookie Krstic, who has height and can shoot. If he hadn't shown potential, the Nets would not have let go of Eddie Curry so easily.

The Nets are currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference. It is not difficult to reach the playoffs, but they have no power to fight back against the Lakers.

On the 29th, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 104-90 in an away game, winning 13 consecutive games and scoring over 100 points in all games, ending their November journey.

The Spurs started with 10 wins and 4 losses, and their performance was average.

The addition of Finley has strengthened the team's forward strength and is responsible for leading the bench. He averages 10.2 points per game and is the team's biggest highlight.

However, the Spurs' inside strength has dropped slightly compared with last season. Malone retired. In the summer, they introduced Argentinian blue-collar power forward Riccio Oberto, who is just a blue-collar player and cannot be compared with Malone.

The only position where the Spurs have an advantage is the power forward. Duncan's advantage against Rasheed and Odom is not as obvious as Yao's against Nesterovich and Muhammad. It's lucky that Ginobili and Parker can compete with Kobe and Mo Williams.

The Spurs lost on the bench, Tinsley left, Barry's condition declined, and Finley alone provided offensive firepower, which was no match for the Lakers bench bandits.

Entering December, the Lakers defeated two weak teams, the Jazz and the Timberwolves, one after another, and their winning streak reached 15 games at the beginning.

Bogut performed better after joining the Jazz than he did with the Bucks. In his rookie season, he scored 12.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 blocks, and his shooting percentage was as high as 53%. As in his previous life, Bogut actively challenged Yao Ming on the offensive end, even taking big blocks, and understood the gap between himself and the real star.

After the addition of No. 4 David Lee, the Jazz's offense has been significantly strengthened, but both he and Boozer are poor in pick-and-roll defense. The Jazz still need some time to adjust and strengthen their defense if they want to make the playoffs.

With his stable performance in the first month, Yao Ming defeated Kobe Bryant and won the Western Conference Player of the Month. This is the first time he has won this honor since joining the NBA.

The Lakers' subsequent schedule is relatively easy. If they face weak teams continuously, it will be difficult for them to capsize in the gutter. Fans are predicting which team will end their winning streak.

Nowadays, some weak teams dare not challenge the Lakers. The pressure of the game is very high, for fear that the Lakers players will be in good condition that day and carry out a massacre.

This season, the Lakers are both the public enemy of the league and a standout.
