You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 362 No need to be scolded

The two-day Thanksgiving holiday seems to have relaxed the Lakers too much.

Just after Thanksgiving, they will go away to play the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz is a hard stubble, with Deron Williams on the outside, who is also known as the 05 Sanjie along with Weisha and Paul, and Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur and Andrei Kirilenko on the inside.

With an excellent backcourt and the league's top frontcourt, they are at home, ready to make the Lakers suffer their fourth loss of the season.

In order to prevent Deron from using his size to blow up Smush Parker, Phil Jackson flexibly changed his lineup and let Weixia start at the No. [-] position.

As a result, Wesha limited Deron's shooting percentage to less than 35%.At the same time, he himself felt bad and failed to provide more help to Kobe and Odom.

Only Kobe and Odom played normally for the Lakers.

Their shooting percentages were over 18%. Kobe's only flaw was that he didn't take many shots. He only shot 27 shots and scored [-] points.

Odom 20+10.

Then there is nothing else. The Jazz mainly plays Boozer. The latter does have the ability to dominate the penalty area.

Andrew Bynum was given a shocking teaching session.

Many people's impression of Boozer is his shooting, thinking that his offense is concentrated on the outside. In fact, high shooting is only one of his offensive methods.Facing those traditional insiders whose athletic ability is not as good as his own, he often adopts a posture of eating people, shooting from the outside, making low footsteps, flying up with various fake moves, and his inside offensive skills are so complete that it is unbelievable.

Bynum suffered a big loss.

Although the Lakers' inside line has improved compared to the past, but when Boozer and Okur play at the same time, they can only admit defeat.

Kirilenko's offense is not as eye-catching as the other two, but his defensive statistics cannot be ignored.

5 blocked shots and 2 steals, including the case of Kobe Bryant blocked by a single defense in the third quarter.

Although Kobe was blocked several times, his shooting percentage was still above 50%. The Lakers only lost by 7 points in the end.

"For Michael Jordan, it's impossible to take only 18 shots at that time." Jackson criticized Kobe's shots for the second time.

Kirilenko, who blocked Kobe several times, said proudly: "Kobe is not as difficult to guard as before."

The Lakers lose, and the opponent can say whatever they want.

After the away game in Salt Lake City, the Lakers returned to the home court again.

The people who set the schedule are devils, but there are occasional touches of humanity.

The four home games before Thanksgiving, and no games during Thanksgiving, made the players like it very much.Next, the Lakers will usher in a schedule of eight games with only one away game.

It can be said that at the beginning of the season, the Lakers' schedule was one of the best, if not the best in the league. Many away games, few back-to-back.

This is the time to lay down the record and put yourself at the top of the Western Conference.If you don't get results when the schedule is good, what will you do when the schedule is difficult?
The Lakers returned to Los Angeles, and two days later, they faced another opponent, the New Jersey Nets.

Since Kidd took over at the beginning of the century, the Nets have been a strong team in the East, and they still are.

Kidd, who hasn't aged yet, Carter, who is healthy, and Richard Jefferson, who is still impactful, are very competitive, and the Lakers are unwilling to lose a losing streak at home.

Before the start of the game, in the home team's tunnel at the Staples Center, Wei Xia's face was full of haze.

Against the Jazz, although his performance was not outstanding, it was definitely above average.

But Phil Jackson seemed to feel that if he didn't hit a 90-point performance he would be disqualified and deserve a slap.

During the review meeting during the day, Wei Xia was criticized on a daily basis.

"Remember the shame, Wish, I don't want to see the second American Beautiful English Recitation Conference in a short time." Kobe smiled sourly at him.

Thinking of the experience during the day, Wei Xia closed his eyes, saying that he didn't want to do it again.

Hold this idea and belief.Wei Xia entered the game with a full state, and it was like a godsend from the first second.

The Nets wanted to give the Lakers a bad start, and the defensive intensity was very high at the beginning.

In the first offensive round of the Lakers who won the ball, they were almost suffocated by the Nets for 24 seconds.

Outside the three-point line from the bottom corner on the right, Smush Parker didn't pass the ball to Kobe, who wanted to take the pot, but gave the ball to Weisha.

Under Carter's care, Wei Xia forcibly shot, his posture twisted in the air, and he didn't know how to find the crosshair in that situation.

But he found it out of nowhere.

Negative angle shot, the ball scored.

Wei Xia has just entered the state, and Kobe and Odom, who played well in the last game, turned off at the same time.

One by one, their hand feeling is worse than the other, let alone the difference, and they still stubbornly believe in themselves, no matter what, they have to make shots and score.

Bryant seemed to listen to Jackson's advice.

He took 24 shots and only scored 7 goals. His shooting percentage dropped to 16%. Odom has learned a lot and made 6 of 40 shots, which is also less than [-]%.Under normal circumstances, the two of them feel disastrous, and the Lakers' game is difficult to play, but today's situation is unusual.

Their opponents, the New Jersey Nets, felt equally bad.

Carter is famous for dunking, and the dunk over the French center at the Sydney Olympics at the turn of the century may be the most classic dunk in basketball history.Coupled with his performance in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, Carter will never be able to tear off the label of dunker.As the second-generation flying man who came out of the University of North Carolina, he has studied in the university for three years, just like the seniors in North Carolina, with relatively comprehensive offensive methods.

When meeting Wei Xia, Carter originally wanted to use all he had learned to teach him a lesson.

As a result, the bad touch couldn't support his ideas, and he played a bad game.

On the scene, he is not as active as Wei Xia. In terms of statistics, only Wei Xia has more rebounds than Wei Xia, and the others are all overwhelmed.

As the team's main attacker, if even he is blown away by the opponent's second-in-command, then other teammates will be very sad.

Kidd's offense was originally hopeless, Carter had no touch and no form, and his singles efficiency was low. He had to take on many shots that originally belonged to Carter.When the ability is not enough to take on the extra responsibility, it will screw things up.

Jefferson was originally one of the hopes of the Nets, but Kobe himself had no feel, so he had to make Jefferson feel no touch.

Under Kobe's full care, Jefferson made 15 of 6 shots, exactly 40% of his shots, nearly 10 percentage points higher than Kobe.

But his efficiency is still not high, and his shots are few, which can't affect the overall situation.

The Nets, who hoped to end the Lakers' losing streak, lost the game amid boos on the spot.

Wei Xia scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and was elected the best player in the game.

When the reporter held the microphone in front of him and asked him how he felt about his performance.

His answer was very truthful: "There is no need to be scolded."
