You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 487 Reborn
Losing to the Rockets, the Lakers had a losing streak, and Pau Gasol missed the game against the Mavericks due to diarrhea.

According to the media, the three-game losing streak is waving to the Lakers.

As a result, the three-game losing streak did not come.

What the media saw was that the Lakers united to defeat the Mavericks, Kobe and Wesha regained their good form, and beat the Dallas people to the bottomless abyss.

"They're like another level of the team." Mavericks coach Avery Johnson gave a very high evaluation.

In fact, the Mavericks lost by 3 points.

Vladimir Radmanovic scored 30 points at the same time as Kobe and Wescia scored 22 points, which was the key.

The sled man proved his worth and hit a three-pointer at the most critical moment to prevent the Lakers from suffering a three-game losing streak.

Next, Gasol's condition seemed to escalate. He was not just having diarrhea, but gastroenteritis.

reason?He ate a steak medium rare and ruined his stomach.

It seems that many gourmets advocate medium-rare steaks, but Wecha has never liked under-rare food.When did drinking blood become a reason to show superiority?He will never eat an uncooked thing unless it kills him.

Hearing that Gasol got gastroenteritis because of this, he even told the news to his brother, Wei Qiu, who especially likes to eat raw food.

"If someone like Pau Gasol got gastroenteritis from raw food, you could die from raw food."

"Are you questioning me?"

Wei Xia greatly overestimated his brother's IQ.

In order to prove that his physique is stronger than that of Gasol, Wei Qiu will only eat life and death for the next three days.

Raw and cold steak, sashimi, and aseptic eggs, served with beer.

At that time, Wei Xia was playing in an away game. When he returned to Los Angeles, Wei Qiu was nowhere to be seen at home. After asking, he found out that he had been sent to the hospital for an infusion because of a bad stomach.

It is conservatively estimated that you will lose more than a dozen catties for this.

Wei Xia was worried about his brother, but Wei Qiu's reaction was: "That's great! I didn't expect that eating raw food would have such benefits!"

There was actually a sense of anticipation in his words that he wanted to get gastroenteritis.

Wei Xia could only use "living expenses" as a warning to dispel his mind.

Having said that, gastroenteritis does lose weight.

It is fair, just and open. Regardless of whether you are fat, thin, tall or short, if you get involved in this, if you don’t lose ten catties of meat after you’re done, it’s considered abnormal.However, don't take it as a way to lose weight because of this, any disease is dangerous, and weight loss should be done step by step.Losing weight too fast is like not playing solid basic skills, which may backfire on yourself at any time.

As for the Lakers' away games, one against the Jazz and one against the Warriors, they were not good.

Against the Jazz, the Lakers relied on Kobe's performance and beat Utah to the ground with just one attack.

Against the Warriors, Wei Xia didn't feel good, but he grabbed the rebounds well. In the whole game, he caught a personal record of 24 rebounds.

That night, I really don't know why, the rebound seemed to be chasing Wei Xia, and he couldn't do without it.

It's a pity that the hand feeling is not good, and he failed to set the first 20+20 in his career.

24 rebounds in a single game is Wei Xia's career rebound record in a single game. At the same time, this also allows Wei Xia to average double figures in rebounds per game.

After this war, Weixia's average data per game was 23.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 5.8 assists.

His assists are down, but his rebounds are up, and that's exactly what Gasol is bringing back.

Gasol has the pivot support ability required by the triangle offense, but his rebounding skills can only be considered qualified for the NBA. If he wants to rest easy in the penalty area, Wei Xia needs to go in more to help.

The double-double in rebounds per game is the result of his help to the end.

Outstanding athletic ability, sophisticated prediction of rebounding trajectory, top three long rebounding experts in the league, for various reasons, Wei Xia averaged double figures in rebounds per game.

Gasol continued to truce, but the Lakers won consecutively. Not only did they not lose because of the former truce, Wei Xia and Kobe also found their best form during the period.

In the game against the Grizzlies on March 3, Kobe was like Wukong turned into a gorilla, with red eyes and full of destructive power. He made 28 of 37 shots, 19 of 19 three-pointers, and only 9 free throws. He scored 7 points, 53 rebounds and 6 assist.

That lone assist was because Wei Xia counterattacked too deeply. The ball was in Kobe's hands. He couldn't pass it, so he was forced to assist.

That kind of assist doesn't reflect his overall awareness. Wei Xia quickly goes down alone, with no one around him, so the pressure of passing the ball is almost equal to 0, which is an operation that can be done with one hand.

Kobe didn't give up because it was too easy to pass the ball to Weixia to score fast breaks.

Grizzlies poor coach Marc Iavaroni (Marc Iavaroni) laughed at himself: "We sent Kobe one of his biggest helpers, and he just repaid it?"

The resentment of the Grizzlies can be imagined, but how can Kobe's outbreak be expected?
That's something no one can tell.

The Lakers continued their winning streak without Gasol until the end of March.

The last game was Kobe's explosion, this time it's Wei Xia's turn.

Kobe sent 14 assists, Wesha scored 40 points, the Lakers overturned the Washington Wizards who lost Arenas, and ended the game in March with a winning streak.

Today, they have 54 wins and 18 losses, firmly occupying the first place in the Western Conference, and only the Celtics are ahead of them.

April
In a brand new January, Pau Gasol announced his comeback.

He has lost a lot of weight, and he has been away from the game for nearly half a month. He feels that the game needs to be rediscovered, but the tacit understanding with the team does not seem to be affected.

Gasol seems to be born with the triangle offense.The ideal state of the triangle offense is to support the offense in the low post, but a wizard like the Sharks is rare in a century. Not everyone can have his invincible big butt and incredible sensitivity.But all classic tactical systems are very tolerant, and the triangle offense is no exception. In its concept, any player can be positioned in any position, as long as you have the corresponding ability: the center can stand in the bottom corner, the guard can be placed in the low post, and it is only common for the world to be reversed.

The basic skills of pass and control acquired from playing as a point guard since he was a child, and his innate court vision have given him great convenience.

For some balls, ordinary insiders would not pass them, but Gasol would.

That's where his basketball philosophy and the triangle offense have in common.

Playing against the Trail Blazers in early April, Gasol returned to the game, and his personal offense was poor. He only made 8 of 3 shots, but sent 6 assists with an incomprehensible elegance to his opponents.

The Lakers beat the Blazers by 13 points.

Then, the final game of the regular season against the Mavericks.Kobe is at it again.

That was a situation familiar to the Mavericks, and it was also Kobe's earliest form.

Old fans will think of the Lakers in the OK period through Kobe in this game.

Generally speaking, during OK's three consecutive championships, his style of play was dominated by impact pressure and short-range jump shots, lacking stability in mid-to-long range;In his own words, the shark is the marshal who gives orders, and he is the general whose task is to ensure the smooth flow of the attack.In other words, he attacked when the Sharks couldn't take over the offense, continued the Lakers' offensive firepower with breakthroughs and jumpers, and diverted the defensive pressure for the Sharks and shooters.

Once he finds the mid-range and long-range touch, he can play the hot performance against the Spurs and Kings in the 2001 playoffs; similarly, once he has a poor mid-to-long-range feel and cannot hit the 16-to-23-foot jumper (4-7 meters), his data will not be as good as those two series.This also limits his pace to replace the Sharks, but it is the only obstacle.It wasn't until the second half of 2002 that he perfected these things. Coupled with the absence of the Sharks at the beginning of the season, he grabbed the position of the Lakers' first offensive option in one fell swoop and never returned it.He had just turned 24 at the time.

Today, Kobe controls the game from a position of 16 to 23 feet, making random shots and scoring casually.

The Mavericks had no choice but to see him score 44 points and lose the game.

The next game, Wecha and Bryant joined Gasol's dance.

The new triangle offense finally took shape.

The most elegant and beautiful shooting guard + center combination in NBA history appeared.

Wesha and Kobe can give up most of their favorite positions and move a lot on the weak side; after receiving the ball, they can quickly handle it, make a strong pull or break through, and shoot countless heart-breaking jumpers in the free throw line area.But like Jordan, they also have the power to take over the offense at any position and time.

Of course, they are also different from the Sharks: Kobe, Weixia, and Gasol are not pure low-post players, they also need to switch between high and low positions.

This further fits Kobe's overall offensive skills.For Kobe, a center who fits him so well in terms of skills and temperament is really hard not to make him feel excited.

As for Wei Xia, his offensive skills are not as comprehensive as Kobe.After Gasol came, his opportunities to dominate the ball were greatly reduced, but during positional battles, the number of times he ran out of opportunities but was ignored by his teammates was also greatly reduced.

He must admit that Gasol changed everything.

In the remaining games of the regular season, the Lakers only turned over in Portland.

The reason why the Blazers pulled the Lakers down is very simple. Six players scored in double figures, three scored 20+ points, and all points, rebounds, assists, and shooting percentages did not lead the Lakers.

The only data the Lakers have an advantage in is the number of free throws, a total of 29, but the Blazers also hit 24 free throws.

Five free throws won't change anything, not to mention the Lakers lost the game by nine points.

Except for an upset loss to the Trail Blazers, the Lakers encountered almost no challenges in the rest of the game.

Destroyed the Clippers 122 to 94;

Killed the Bobcats 107 to 90;

112 over 91 over the supersonic;
106 to 85 victory over the Spurs;

Defeated the Timberwolves 121 to 101;
They were reborn, completely transformed, and finally, with a record of 61 wins and 21 losses, ended the 2007-08 regular season.
