Chapter 171 After the Gorgeous...
In the basketball game, there are flying dragons and immortal cockroaches.Without the latter, the victory of the former would have been bleak, and when Xiaoqiang decides to move the mountains, you will find that everything may change...
The moment the final whistle sounded, Kobe's back gradually disappeared in the player tunnel...
No one can tell what kind of Kobe will appear in front of people after walking out of this dark tunnel.
The score was finally fixed at 111:103, and you could see the ashen-faced fans of Staples and their unbelievable eyes; you could also see the big star Nicholson, who was used to appearing at the designated position of Staples, holding his head in frustration...
Gasol and Bynum put their hands on their waists helplessly, their eyes were empty and confused as if they had just woken up suddenly...
Artest walked up to his former teammates, serving as Staples' friendly "peacemaker."I don't know if he, who scored 9 points angrily and scored 1 of 3 in this game, is going to make shameless remarks in front of the media like he let go of his old club...
The scene was completely silent, not even a complaint could be heard...
Can't figure it out...
I really can't figure it out...
Everyone can't figure it out...
In fact, this is also the first time that the defending champion has lost home with all players this season...
And one loss is a defeat of nearly 10 points, and let them experience a tragic role after the brilliance of twelve consecutive victories...
It was only three days before they suffered a blow at the Toyota Center, which obviously failed to arouse the fear of these nobles. However, Lowry, who was in charge of the game, left the field and was invited back to the locker room after complaining with Ron.
40 points, 34 rebounds and 14 assists, this is Dragic and Tyson Chandler's joint gift to Angel City, which also makes Kobe, who scored 42 points, lose face...
Recalling that Kobe vowed in front of the camera that he would score 100 points on the Rockets, can people interpret it as the total of the two games?
Even if the sum is not far from 100, even two games in which Mayo only scored pitiful single digits, and one in which he scored fifth in the team, it also cannot make up for the fact that Kobe will slap himself tonight...
Because the latter sent a total of 20 assists in the two games, it seems that at 1 meters, he finally returned to the familiar point guard position...
Los Angeles, the City of Angels, was bleak tonight…
Some people shook the whole game, and the sign symbolizing [-] consecutive victories looked more like a big joke...
"Oh...Shit!" a fan sighed dully...
"Woo..." Many fans went from disappointment to loneliness, and finally held their heads in a daze and shed unwilling tears...
The audience is solemn...
The huge Staples Center was so quiet that it seemed that time had stood still, as if one movement could break this tranquility.
Only a group of guys in red jerseys are left hugging each other and congratulating each other, as if they are celebrating their immortality...
"There is no doubt that this is one of the best times in my entire career..." Tyson Chandler, who scored 12 points and 29 rebounds in this game and was named the best player in the game, said: "Yes, unity! This night we are more united than our biological brothers... This is one of the reasons why we can beat them..."
"Oh, sorry, I'm so tired, you know, I feel like I ran a marathon..." Dragic, who scored 28 points and made 8 of 6 three-pointers, said, "Yes, thankfully, we won."
"My first reaction was, Oh! My God! We really won a game from Kobe? We really won the defending champion?" Budinger, who had four new high statistics, said shyly in front of the packed locker room of the visiting team.
...
"Unbelievable..." Barkley's eyeballs were almost exposed on the TNT radio station. A few minutes ago, like all fans, he believed that Kobe and the Lakers would eventually take over the game, at least recover a little bit of the score, and keep the suspense until the end.
The Lakers always like to deal with their enemies in the fourth quarter, but they were dealt with by the Rockets in the fourth quarter of this game...
Lakers general manager Kupchak revealed in an interview with reporters that the team is now in a very depressed mood, and all the players feel greatly insulted. At the same time, he is puzzled by such a loss: "It is really abnormal to lose like this... Maybe that guy named Chandler should go for a urine test immediately. Who knows if Dragic has installed some high-tech correction equipment..."
The Lakers we see now are the most embarrassing, disappointing, and most appalling defending champions since the Heat in 2006.
To repeat, absolutely nothing.
You can cite many examples to refute. For example, the Pistons in 04, with a bit of conspiracy at Auburn Palace, managed to get the biggest threat Pacers, and they still ranked first in the East this season. They even lost only one game to the 05 championship Spurs...
After the Heat won the championship in 06, the Bubble Dynasty experienced a year of turbulent losses. It was only because Mourning and White Chocolates began to slack off after tasting the taste of the championship, and the old sharks gradually grew old...
Of course, there is also the Hulk who swept the Lakers with 2008 points in Game 6 of the 39 Finals. They finally ushered in a future leader, Rajon Rondo. The corruption is not so complete...
And so on, all the defending champions either encountered stronger opponents, or suffered a short-circuit collapse, or were selfishly disarmed and returned to the field. In terms of shame, compared with the current Lakers who hardly see the slightest bit of professionalism and manly blood in a game, and tear their fig leafs piece by piece with their own hands, it is not a level at all.
What about the current Lakers?The Houston Rockets, who were at the bottom of the underdogs in the Western Conference, ended their 12-game winning streak. They once boasted that they would not give up if they won less than 20 consecutive victories. They even pre-sold tickets for the finals in the package—who can guarantee that Mitch Kupchak didn’t order the champagne after winning?
It is difficult to explain exactly what happened in this seemingly clear-cut game. Simply put, the Lakers are a Lamborghini Reventon sports car, intending to use a speed of 70 yards to knock an arrowman who is cautiously trying to cross the zebra crossing 5 meters high and 30 meters away, but failed shamefully.
Then the sports car accelerated to 80-100 yards, knocked Jianmin to death, and planned to walk away, but unexpectedly, after vomiting blood, Jianmin got up and smashed the hood and engine of the sports car...
Although the gear is still there, it is hard to say whether this Lamborghini Reventon, which is in urgent need of overhaul, is more expensive than Changan Benben.
Maybe you could actually say the Lakers are underestimated and arrogant.
They are the most talented team in the league, with talented players like Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom, and the head coach is so talented that he never studies tactics, only studies psychology to pretend.
Only LeBron's Cavaliers and the Celtics of the Big Three are their equal opponents.
As for the Rockets in this game, since McGrady's sister left the Big Apple and Yao Ming went on his menstrual leave, the attributes of this team are no different from those of the Bobcats.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously wishful thinking and unrealistic to expect Los Angeles to start from the first minute of Game 1, just like it did when it played Boston and Cleveland in the regular season away from Houston.
Facts have proved that the Lakers, who lost the first quarter, really woke up. With their strength advantage, they head-on to eat the next second and third quarters. Of course, some people will complain endlessly about whistles and elbows when they see this.
However, Lowry's sudden collapse changed all that.
The Rockets are finished, and this conclusion that few people would doubt is even less doubtful now.
Bet, even the only one among the 10 experts on ESPN who thinks the Rockets will win must have shed muddy tears when he saw the news that "Lowry will not play in this game".
The nerves of the Lakers just tensed up again without any suspense. These rough embryos who are not familiar with the Chinese culture have no idea what is meant by "sad soldiers must win" and "put to death to survive", so there was 24-4, which was yelled at by Nicholson and other big stars who came to support him, and Phil Jackson's swearing to the media after the game.
In fact, not only the Lakers themselves, but almost all the media, experts and fans, whether they are from the United States, China, Kyrgyzstan, or Antarctica, all believe that the Lakers will sweep the Rockets back to their hometown like the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, and support them along the way.
The results of it?When the new captain, Baron Davis, the Black Eight Warriors of the year, jumped up after watching the game. By the way, he called Nick Young, Chris Kaman and other Clippers champions, and vowed: "Hey, brothers, this time it's our turn to give them a fig leaf..."
The Lakers are always satisfied with the theory that we are an aristocratic team, and under normal circumstances, we don't have to play that kind of roaring and sweating migrant basketball.
Of course, this theory was not invented today. When the OK combination swept the world, the Lakers also regarded "playing balls, but getting dirty clothes" as their motto. It's just that the Lakers at that time were too powerful, so stinky, they still won three consecutive championships.
The current Lakers do not have such capital at all.They can only play high-intensity defense occasionally, but can't integrate defense into blood like most teams in the East.
On the offensive end, they rely too much on star singles and are extremely afraid of physical contact. Once one of Kobe and Gasol feels cold, the entire team's offensive system will be paralyzed.
When the strength is not strong enough to look down on everything, the boring aristocratic style will only multiply the Lakers' own weaknesses, and because Kobe almost lost or was bloody, some games that seemed impossible to lose.
In fact, the game at the Toyota Center, if not for the time, and the Rockets are only playing crazy, there is no Chandler, and there is no belief in victory. When Kobe finally takes over the game, the death sentence will be changed to a suspended death sentence...
It's just that what should come will come after all.
Teacher Masami Cheda's explanation is more popular: the same trick cannot be used twice against a saint.
Kobe is old after all, he is not a god...cannot fight against a group by himself...
All in all, any professional sports team that aspires to win the championship should not make the same mistake after losing a game due to indolence.
Regrettably, the Lakers are no longer a problem of "twice" falling into the river or stumbling over rocks. They have played shit again and again, and even the 4-point lead in Game 24 of the Finals was reversed.
Every time they lose a game that shouldn't be lost, they will say sadly, "This is the worst night I have ever experienced", "We are useless", "This kind of terrible game will never happen again", which makes people sigh that it is really a lesson for children.However, after a while, these words will haunt your ears again.
The sad thing is, as a Lakers fan, knowing that such remarks can only deceive ghosts, I can only nod with tears in my belief.
Another fact that is easily overlooked is that, through the operation of the future super basketball manager Ron, after filling in the difficult problems, the Rockets are actually much stronger than people imagined.
Yes, Game 1 does depend on the opponent underestimating the enemy.But this one is different.Everyone could see that the Lakers had tried their best, but they still couldn't crush the huge Texas cockroach to death.
Do you know how he got into a rage after the game?
"We played good enough today and still didn't win! I'm fucking done! Let me sleep and let this damn day end!"
You see, this is the Rockets. After Ron was in charge, they didn’t have a franchise player, not even a star who averaged 20+ per game, and the combined annual salary of the five starters was not as good as that of Kobe alone.
What's even more frightening is that in view of this year's unlucky record, this time they survived to the point where the defeat was glorious without any psychological pressure.
Think about it, since Adelman was able to lead a team of similar quality to the second-longest 22-game winning streak in league history last year, why is it so strange to beat the Lakers to death one after another now?
In fact, if the Rockets under Ron's management were played from the beginning of the season, who would think that their record would not exceed 60 wins?
Rockets fans have every reason to be proud of such a team, and every reason to be proud of Ron.
As the price of lingering, the Lakers' aura of aristocratic invincibility has long faded, and any team with the strength to enter the playoffs will no longer feel the slightest fear of Los Angeles.
When the slogan of Beat-LA becomes a thing of the past, a new era of heroes will also come on stage.
Of course, this may be a good thing for the Lakers.
At least, now no one will force them to win each other by so many points, and no one will make a fuss about them playing garbage games.
The Lakers can put themselves in the position of the challenger and calmly play the standard that the championship team should have, instead of carrying the golden sign of the defending champion like an uncle and rushing to end the journey of the season...
If they really do this, Kobe is still more likely to win this championship than James and the Green Kais.
As for the current situation, the gap between the strongest heroes of this era and the Lakers?
Let's put it this way, unless Bynum no longer "washes and cuts" and can roughly play at the same level as last season, and Artest is still the Pacers hero back then, it will be difficult for the Lakers to handle the Emperor, Hulk, etc. without home court advantage, even last year's loser Magic.
It couldn't be more ridiculous -- why didn't last year's Rockets touch today's Los Angeles?
In the Lakers locker room after the game, the wind was jittery...
Kobe was obviously quite frustrated and admitted that the team performed poorly. He said: "We didn't play well. We should be able to improve defensively, especially in switching defenses. I feel very disappointed. One game may damage our morale and lead to a collapse...The Lakers are not a young team. Maybe let us reflect on each other and review each other, maybe we will be better."
It can be seen from Kobe's conversation that his own confidence is not very high. This is a dangerous signal. The boss of the team has lost his fighting spirit. How to lead other players to face opponents stronger than the Rockets, how to lead the people of the City of Angels to rise from the ruins...
Only one person hastily left the scene with the idea of reviving the dynasty, and he even responded to his attitude by swearing at his own media in Los Angeles...
When you have a mediocre deck of cards, you can lose your ass and win all your chips...
It depends on how you play...
After walking out of the Staples Center, the lonely Zen master looked at the distant starry sky...
"Ron? Hehe..." When a person is always at the top of the world, over time he will feel distressed because he has no opponent...
When Phil Jackson couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and there was a heartfelt smile on the corner of his mouth, it was hard to confuse him with the unlucky coach who lost a game he shouldn't have lost and swears at reporters after the game...
It’s just that he is used to getting up early and going to bed early, and he is no longer as desperate as he was in his youth. Old Phil Jackson suddenly felt that staying in the office was so kind, and suddenly felt that drawing tactical boards was more interesting than ML: "Things are finally getting interesting! Well... Let’s start..."
He will never forget who made him show his passion and love for basketball again...
It's like that person is enjoying the long-lost sense of accomplishment at this time, and is elated...
At this moment, when Nicholson rushed towards the visiting team's locker room with a happy expression on his face, behind him, the beautiful girl named Jessica Alba, who had been silent for the whole time since meeting Ron for the first time, was quietly listening to music in the corridor...Walking...
Thank you for your suggestions and opinions, and I hope that you will put forward more good opinions. In addition, you can also help Ron trade and build the invincible Yao Mai Houston dynasty according to your ideas!
Guarantee a change!
