Chapter 137 136.2. February Perfect Ending

Chapter 137 136. The Perfect End of December

Tang De resolutely rejected Cantor's suggestion, and finally chose to sign with Nike. However, because there are still many contract details to be negotiated, the big news about Tang De's signing with Nike has not yet been made public.

Tang De didn't dare to think about how the group of people who had always supported him would react when they heard the explosive news.

The picture is simply too beautiful.

On December 12, the Lakers went to Salt Lake City to play a game with the Utah Jazz.

What the Utah Jazz played this season can't be described as a bad word. So far in the new season, they have only won 5 games in total, and they are currently ranked second to last in the Western Conference.

Although their five starting players can average double figures in points per game, Hayward, who has the highest score, is only below 20 points. In addition, the overall game tactics are muddled, so the current results are also normal.

Salt Lake City, the city where the Jazz are located, is the capital and largest city of Utah, USA. The whole city is almost surrounded by mountains.

So for a long time, the Jazz's home court has been notoriously difficult to play in the entire league!

However, in this game, the Lakers only used three quarters to turn the game into garbage time ahead of schedule.

In the whole game, 7 Lakers scored in double figures and won the Jazz with 18 points without any suspense.

其中得分最高的依然是唐德的24分，值得一提的是科比本场比赛仅仅打了23分钟，就12投7中拿到20分。

Kobe's state in this game is also much better than the first game back from his comeback.

After staying in Salt Lake City for one night, the Lakers flew back to Los Angeles early the next morning.

Next, the Lakers will usher in a very sweet schedule. In the next eight days, they only need to play 4 games, and all of them are at home. More importantly, there is no back-to-back game in these 4 games.

After returning from Salt Lake City, the Lakers did not arrange any specific training in the afternoon. Tang De practiced shooting in the courtyard of the villa for a while without leaving home, and then called Nick Young and Bai Bian to fight the landlord again...

At night, Tang De, who was lying on the bed, opened the system panel in his mind again after many days.

Host: Tang De.

Age: 21 years old.

Field position: small forward.

……

……

Currently have skills: Nash's pass (Silver): 62/200.

Iverson's breakthrough (bronze): 52/100.

Currently has points: 7500!

With so many points at present, Tang De can exchange for a permanent skill at will. As for which skill to choose, Tang De has already made plans.

He is very defensive now, and he is good enough for breakthroughs and passes. The only thing he lacks is his shooting skills.

shooting skills.

After hesitating for a while, Tang De still chose the skill "Curry's three-pointer". Compared with other great pitchers, Curry's advantage is still obvious, at least Tang De thinks so.

As for the upgrade method of this skill, it is the same as the other two skills. To upgrade from bronze to silver, you need to throw in 100 three-pointers, and to upgrade from silver to gold, you need to throw in another 200 three-pointers. Not informed.

On December 12, the Lakers ushered in their first opponent in four consecutive games at home: the Philadelphia 29ers.

It can be said that this team, since the loss of Allen Iverson, has slowly gone downhill, until finally it was completely reduced to a weak team, and the Eastern Conference counts down every year, including this season. The Philadelphia 76ers are in third from last in the Eastern Conference.

However, there is still something about the management of this team. They have been doing badly for many years at all costs, until they got Embiid, Simmons, Fultz, and the top picks in the draft one after another. Because of injuries, they may rise earlier.

In this game, the Lakers waited for work at home. Although the 76ers blew the horn of counterattack in the third quarter and chased points again and again, the Lakers finally won the game without any risk.

Tang De still focused on scoring throughout the game, making 21 of 10 shots, 6 of 3 three-pointers, and 8 of 7 free throws, scoring 30 points and 9 rebounds.Nagging is getting more and more comfortable in the position of point guard. Although the score is still not very high, he has sent out 8 assists.

The last three games have fully proved that as long as Kobe is willing to take it seriously and work hard to change, he is actually very good at passing the ball.

However, all of this is due to the team's ability to win frequently. If the team loses consecutively, with Kobe's character, he will definitely go crazy on his own regardless of everything.

After all, everything is negotiable only when you win.

It makes sense to say that the Lakers' schedule in the next few days is extremely sweet, because their next opponent is another super-stubborn team in the East, even worse than the Philadelphia 76ers.

That team is the Milwaukee Bucks.

They are now firmly seated at the bottom of the East, and their current record is simply ridiculous, 4 wins and 21 losses!

Tang De couldn't figure out why they played so poorly. Their team also had such good players as Brandon Knight, OJ Mayo, and Middleton.

In the final analysis, it is because of the coach's inaction, otherwise, no matter how hard a lineup like the Bucks is, it will not be ranked last in the Eastern Conference.

It can be said that the Bucks in the next few years will always be a real garbage team until "Antetokounmpo" fully grows up.

Because Alian has played in this team before, Tang De still knows this team very well. In Tang De's memory, at the end of the regular season of this season, the Bucks are still stable. Ranked last in the East!

It's just like mud can't hold up against the wall.

Such an opponent, if the Lakers do not win, it is simply a waste of life.

After winning the Bucks at home, the Lakers once again won 3 consecutive victories. Because of the recent schedule, the Lakers have now surpassed the Warriors to climb to the 6th position in the Western Conference. The team has now dropped to No. 8 in the West, behind the Grizzlies.

The next Lakers played against the Jazz and the Nuggets at home. They first easily won the Jazz who wanted revenge, but in the final stage of the 4th consecutive championship, they lost to the Denver Nuggets and missed Great opportunity to win 5 consecutive victories.

But despite this, thanks to the recent 6 wins and 4 wins, the Lakers have consolidated their 6th position in the Western Conference, and are currently 7 wins ahead of the 2th Grizzlies in the Western Conference.

The NBA schedule is sometimes very confusing. After ending the sweet 4-game winning streak, the Lakers can be regarded as a perfect end to the game in December. They have a record of 12 wins and 12 losses throughout December, but the next 11 This month, the Lakers' game will become much more difficult.

They have to play three back-to-back away games in a row, against the Mavericks, Rockets, and Clippers!
