You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 374 The most confusing team

Wei Xia and Trovis came to the window, and he explained his whole day's itinerary clearly like a prisoner under interrogation.

And, after obtaining the guarantee from Elaine Trovis, he even relayed to her the secrets he heard from Bath Jr.

The secret revealed by Wei Xia made Trovis forgive him for his bastard behavior tonight.

And when Wei Xia was puzzled by the second half of the key sentence that Bass didn't finish, Trovis seemed to understand something.

"It shows that the Lakers executives also have disputes about how to build a team around Kobe." Trovis said, "In the beginning, they may have indeed regarded Kobe as a box office star, but when he led a team with less talent to beat the Suns last season, the management may have changed their views on him."

"He's not just a box office star, but a star worth building around."

Wei Xia asked puzzledly: "Is there any objection to this point?"

"Before you joined the Lakers, Kobe didn't bring the team into the playoffs. Perhaps it was that failed season that made the management doubt Kobe's ability." Trovis is an outsider, without channels and information, and can only analyze based on what she sees.

However, even Wei Xia, an insider, has no way of knowing what the high-level attitude is towards Kobe as the core.

There are rumors that OK had conflicts in 2004. The Sharks clamored to renew their contract with a maximum salary.The old Bass defied the crowd and sent away the absolute core Sharks who won three consecutive championships, together with the champion coach Zen Master who advocated cleaning up Kobe, and called Kobe to explain the situation.

The content of the call is nothing more than two points. The Sharks are determined, and the Lakers will build a championship team around him.

That summer, the Lakers made a lot of moves and invited Tang Shuai, but Kobe Bryant and injuries that broke out on the dark side caused the Lakers to miss the playoffs.

Perhaps from that time on, the Lakers only wanted to use Kobe to sell tickets, and they didn't want to form a team around him to compete for the championship.

Trovis's analysis gave Weisha a better understanding of the inside story.

Finally, he sincerely apologized to Trovis.

Whatever the reason, it was his fault that the first date had gone this way.

What Wesha heard was too shocking for him, and Trovis forgave him.After all, he is still too young, and he has become the future face of the Lakers step by step in less than two seasons (proclaimed by the media).

The New Year's Eve in 2006 has passed.

Later, Wei Xia checked his mobile phone and found that Trovis had indeed called him countless times. Although it didn't reach the 100 calls she kept talking about, there were dozens of them, including 200 text messages + voice messages.

At first her tone was mild, but later she became rough and out of control. Although she didn't say anything that would turn into a harmonious discourse of ***, but combined with the words, she could imagine her angry appearance in her mind.

Wei Xia didn't delete any of these text messages.

Trovis is a very real person, so he can fully understand her based on these 200 text messages.

2007 came.

2006年的12月，联盟公布的东西部最佳球员，分别是场均30.8分5.4篮板5.4助攻的科比，和场均34.2分4.4篮板和6.2助攻的阿里纳斯。

The two super guards in the league with a reputation for offensive power are recognized as the best in December.

When the New Year comes, the Lakers have no games to play.

From December 12th to January 30th of the new year, they have no games.

The five-day offseason is almost worth an All-Star Weekend.

This is the so-called schedule benefit. The Lakers went smoothly in the early stage of the season, and the convenience of the schedule accounted for at least 30%.

In the first game of the new year, they faced the Sacramento Kings.

On the books, the Kings have a good lineup.

Mike Bibby, Ron Artest, the 96th generation prospect Sharif-Abdul Rahim, Kevin Martin and Kenny Thomas.

Kobe tried his best to suppress the desire to attack. Sometimes, the desire needs to be vented. If you hold it back for too long, you will have big problems.

At the critical moment of the game against the Kings, the Lakers made mistakes one after another. Kobe hadn't stepped forward to be a hero, and was scored 3+1 by Martin and scored into overtime.

So far this season, no team has more experience in overtime than the Lakers.

They played 12 overtime games in December alone, including a triple overtime game.

In the overtime game, Kobe, who had sealed off his desire to attack for a long time, was inspired by Wei Xia, and only used long shots to kill the King, who had no one to stand up to attack.

132 is better than 128
The Lakers defeated the Kings, Kobe scored 40 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists.

Wei Xia successfully achieved a triple-double with the data of 20+10+11.

"The multi-day offseason has given us enough energy. Everyone is full of energy. I believe January is definitely sweeter than December." Kobe smiled at the media.

In the new year, the Lakers started with a three-game winning streak.

The winning streak ended in the hands of the Grizzlies.

Moreover, the point of losing is still the old reason.

Inside, inside, the Lakers' inside can't let Pau Gasol do whatever he wants.

"Pau Gasol, who has never been able to win a game in the playoffs, is facing the Lakers like a combination of Chris Webber and Kevin Garnett."

During Odom's injury, the Lakers' interior problems were further highlighted.

Radmanovich's three-pointers are more accurate, and Bynum's assist defense and low-post killing ability are more stable, but none of them can fill Odom's versatility.

With the right attitude and normal form, Odom can do anything offensively.

When Kobe and Weixia are not in good shape, give him the ball, and he will often bring surprises.

Lose the Grizzlies, and then fight the Rockets.

The Rockets that the Lakers ran into were not the Rockets that fought them in an overtime game in December, because Yao Huang was not physically fit enough to lose.

When McGrady fell and Yao Huang supported the team alone, he was extremely brave and won the best of the month.But Yao Huang himself couldn't stand the toss, and he also collapsed at the end of December.

As soon as McGrady came back, Yao Huang put on a suit, and the Rockets could only tap the potential from the inside.

Juwan Howard was promoted to the starting roster, plus Dikembe Mutombo, who looked about 50 years old, surrounded by streetball king Alston, and the newly returned Tracy McGrady paired with Battier.

Speaking of insiders, the Rockets are a combination of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. No matter how you look at it, Bynum, Brian Cook, Ryan Hollins, Ronnie Turiaf, Radmanovich. This set of insiders should not be able to beat those two old guys.

Movies or TV shows, as long as the story is not logical, there will be some bullies who want to jump out and diss edit.

But what happens in reality is often illogical.

In the battle against the Lakers, Juwan Howard dreamed of returning to his rookie days, scoring 20 of 11, scoring 23 points and 10 rebounds.

Mutombo proved that age is not a problem. Although he is old and useless, his ability to protect the rim and rebounds may still be higher than that of Yao Huang, who is in his prime. In 34 minutes, he scored 7 points, 19 rebounds and 5 blocks.

The best Lakers insider is Bynum.

He scored 11 points and 8 rebounds.

其他人，没什么好说的，清一色的0分、0分、0分、0分5篮板。

The inside line was accidentally exposed to shit, and the duel between the core players was also full of strange things.

Tracy McGrady, the toughest opponent in Kobe's eyes, didn't feel good tonight. He only made 16 of 4 shots. Relying on his organizational ability to revitalize the team, he sent 12 assists, which was the key to the Rockets' victory.

Perhaps Kobe wants to prove that his organizational skills are not inferior to Tracy McGrady.

It is also possible that he used too much power on defense. He shot 18 balls and his shooting percentage was as ridiculously low, but it was far stronger than McGrady's ability to create damage and allowed him to score more than 20 points.

His passing never found the right person.

When Wei Xia feels good, he doesn't pass it on. If Wei Xia feels bad, it doesn't help if he passes it on.

His offense beat McGrady, and his performance in other aspects is debatable.

In addition to 20 points, he also had 6 rebounds and 1 assist.

And McGrady achieved the siege of Kobe in addition to assists, and the Rockets won.

"How can you win when your assists, rebounds, field goal percentage and opponent's difference are all in double digits?"

The Zen master revealed the reason why the Lakers lost.

But no one cares anymore, the Lakers will start a wave of three-game streak next.

The opponents are all strong teams, and two of them are the Mavericks and Spurs, which are ranked first and second in the Western Conference.

The other team is the New Orleans Hornets who have double-killed the Lakers so far this season.

One mistake, the Lakers may swallow a five-game losing streak.

At 11 a.m., the Lakers land in Dallas.

The Mavericks have the strength to compete for No.1, the most confusing team of the season.

They started with a four-game losing streak, as if they have not come out of the shadow of losing to the Heat in the finals of last season.Suddenly, they woke up, and a wave of 12 consecutive victories made it to the forefront of the Western Conference.

Soon after the winning streak ended, another wave of winning streak started again.

Since December 12 last year, they have never tasted the taste of losing.

Therefore, some people say that it is not impossible for them to break the Bulls' record of 72 wins without the four-game losing streak at the beginning of the season.
