NBA: Art is trash talk

Chapter 156 Some people are happy and some are sad

"There is no suspense anymore, let's take a look at the Lakers game."

Buckley said.

In the 6th minute of the fourth quarter, the Magic withdrew their main force, and the Clippers also withdrew their main force.

此战何星辉打了28分钟，19投10中，三分8中3，罚球3中2，一共拿到了25分。

Not amazing, but good enough.

If the scoring can maintain this data, and the assists and rebounds increase a little bit, then he will be an out-and-out superstar.

Gasol played 30 minutes, 20 of 11 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, 26 points and 11 rebounds.

The shooting percentages of centers and power forwards are not excellent. Most centers in the league can hit this kind of shooting percentage. Kaman still has a 54% shooting percentage this season.

The excellence of Gasol is that he guaranteed this hit rate with a very large number of shots.

Other centers have high shooting percentages because they take fewer shots and don't shoot if they can't find a chance.

In this game, Gasol relied on his personal ability and the help of his teammates to create many comfortable shots.

If Kaman is allowed to come and give him so many possessions, he will not be able to convert them into points.

The Clippers double star performed well, and Barkley then focused on the Lakers.

After all, the media is now comparing the Clippers with the Lakers.

The screen switched to the Lakers game, and they also hit the fourth quarter with 7 minutes left in the game.

Unlike the Clippers who left work early, the Lakers and Hornets are still playing fiercely.

The point difference between the two sides is within 4 points, and the Lakers are still behind.

Seeing this score, Barkley grinned directly, and complained: "Didn't the media and Lakers fans say that they made a lot of money in the transaction? Why didn't I see it?"

Smith also laughed when he heard the words, and said sarcastically: "The Lakers just paid Kwame Brown for Brand, and that's it, that's it?"

"Forget it Kenny, they let us down when they formed the Big Four last time, you have to learn to get used to it."

Barkley brought up the past again and continued to mock the Lakers.

It can be said that the Lakers took advantage of the location of Los Angeles to take advantage of various transactions.

But it's no use giving them a chance.

So what if they just gave them Brand for nothing, wouldn't they have to fight against a team that wasn't in the playoffs?
Casually complained a few words, Barkley and Smith just enough to stop, spray too hard, easy to offend the Lakers fans.

Don't complain, but they can analyze the Lakers' problems in detail.

"Kobe was playing back, oops, got double-teamed. Kobe scored the ball and the ball went to Brand. Unfortunately, PJ Brown quickly returned to defense, and Brand forced Brown."

"Although the goal was scored, the process was very difficult. It relied on Brand's personal ability, and it had nothing to do with Kobe's cooperation. Brand is currently 18 of 8 shots. This efficiency already shows that this kind of play can't be done."

"Kobe's post-up is also near the inside. The opponent's inside can double-team him without worrying about losing his defensive position."

Barkley's last sentence tells part of the truth.

Kobe and Brand are not compatible, and even O'Neal is not suitable for him, just because O'Neal was too strong before, and he used absolute strength to obliterate this kind of problem.

The most suitable insider to partner with Kobe should be Kevin Love.

Can make three-pointers, have rebounds, can be outside or inside.

In the end, the game between the Lakers and the Hornets was over, and the Lakers narrowly won by 2 points.

Their victory was again based on Kobe's last-minute explosions, making consecutive inside fadeaway jumpers, and causing damage.

Although the process was ugly, it was a win anyway.

After throwing the last ball, Kobe bent over, lowered his head, put his hands on his knees, and didn't know what he was thinking.

His appearance was naturally photographed by reporters.

This picture alone can make up a lot of interesting news.

After the game, press conference.

For the Lakers, Kobe and Brand attended together.

"Kobe, you played very hard in this game, what do you think is the problem?"

reporter asked.

"we won."

"But the process was not easy."

"But we won."

Kobe smiled, he found that He Xinghui's skills in dealing with reporters can be borrowed.

The reporter became furious when he heard the words, and he was suffocating in his heart.

They are swearing that as long as Kobe loses next time, they will go all out and show no mercy.

"You said before the game that you were looking forward to the championship, do you still think so now?"

The reporter continued to ask.

"of course."

Kobe said bluntly, even if he was slapped in the face, he couldn't be slapped now.

"My cousin also thinks that he can win the championship, but he promised to retire if he doesn't win the championship. What about you? You think you can win the championship, but if you can't win it, will you also retire?"

Reporters get to work.

"I'll keep working hard until I can't beat it."

Kobe was not fooled.

It's just that his answer was a bit weaker than He Xinghui's answer. It gave the impression that Kobe was just talking casually. In fact, he didn't believe that he could really win the championship.

After Kobe, the reporter pointed the microphone at Brand again: "Elton, are you satisfied with your performance in this game?"

"I'm not very satisfied. I still need to get in touch with my new teammates."

Brand can't say he is satisfied. In this game, he made 20 of 9 shots, scored 22 points and 9 rebounds including free throws.

More shots than in the Clippers, fewer points than in the Clippers, and lower efficiency than in the Clippers.

With this kind of performance, before the reporter asked him the reason for his poor performance, he himself explained with a guilty conscience.

From the Clippers to the Lakers, he has actually been under a lot of pressure.

Some Clippers fans have ridiculed him on the Internet, saying that he has been tossing his mind for a long time, but in the end he still goes to be someone else's second child.

If he doesn't win a championship with Kobe, he won't be able to clean up this stain.

Not enough running-in, which is an excellent reason.

But the reporter will not let him go like this. The reporter continued: "But in the Clippers, Gasol and his teammates perfectly integrated and played a wonderful performance. Why doesn't he have a running-in problem?"

"."

Brand was silent, because he vaguely felt the answer to this question.

The truth is, the Clippers' coordination is smoother.

In Kassel's organization, He Xinghui attracts the defense, and whoever passes by can easily integrate.

In the Lakers, point guards are not like point guards, and shooting guards are not like shooting guards.

He couldn't eat a single pie under the basket, and he relied on hard hitting.

"I don't want to compare with anyone. I just want to help the Lakers win more games now, that's all."

Brand said.

After only playing one game, Brand would not immediately deny the Lakers' lineup.

He believed that with Phil Jackson's talent, he would definitely be able to solve this problem.

Seeing that Brand was about to lose control of his emotions when being forced by the reporters, Phil Jackson stood up and took over the firepower of the reporters.

Phil Jackson has a lot of experience and answered beautifully.

However, this still cannot change the fact that the Lakers have poor chemistry.

This is enough for reporters to arrange.

The Lakers want to get rid of the harassment of the media next, they can only rely on winning.

On the other side, the Clippers' press conference is also going on.

Deng Levy, He Xinghui, Gasol attended together.

"Paul, how was your first game with the Clippers?"

reporter asked.

"I am very happy. There are many excellent teammates here, and it is very easy to play with them. Especially He, he is a great threat on the offensive end and helps his teammates attract a lot of defense."

Gasol replied happily, and by the way, he also praised He Xinghui.

"You mean, your Grizzlies teammates are not as good as your current teammates?"

A reporter who wanted to make trouble asked.

Gasol was taken aback when he heard the words, because he had never encountered such a rude problem when he was in the Grizzlies.

This kind of question is easy to offend people if you are not careful, and reporters generally don't ask it much.

He was actually a pond fish that was affected by the disaster.

Because He Xinghui often confronts reporters, when those reporters interview the Clippers, they usually confront each other with very sharp questions.

When Gasol came to the Clippers, he naturally became one of the reporters' enemies.

Fortunately, Gasol is also a veteran.

He paused for a while and said, "Of course the teammates of the Grizzlies are also very good, and they have provided me with a lot of help. But the Clippers have a superstar player, and He is stronger than the average player. Naturally, the combination of strong players will play even better. Take it easy."

He doesn't compare his former teammates to the average Clippers player, which is debatable.

No one can refute the fact that He Xinghui has played a huge role.

"What prompted you to leave the original team and come to the Clippers as the second head?"

The reporter continued to ask.

If you were another player, you might be dissatisfied with the title of second master.

But Gasol didn't mind too much.

On the one hand, he is convinced by He Xinghui's strength.

In the first season, he hit superstar data, and his achievements in the future will be limitless.

On the other hand, he knew that if he wanted to come to a big city, he would have to make sacrifices if he wanted to join a championship team.

"Of course the championship."

Gasol said.

"Do you believe you can win a championship with the Clippers?"

"We will work hard towards this goal."

Gasol's answers to the next few questions were very sophisticated, and he was not fooled by the reporters.

After that, the reporter pointed the finger at He Xinghui again.

They asked: "He, someone said you pushed Brand away, is that true?"

"it is true."

He Xinghui's answer is always so shocking.

Gasol's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, and he didn't understand why He Xinghui admitted that there were more than 100 ways to deal with it.

However, seeing the stunned look of the reporters, Gasol also had to admire He Xinghui.

Before this, he had never seen a reporter pause for such a long time.

"Disgusting, do you think it's an honor to squeeze out the original team boss?"

A reporter thought he had found a point to criticize He Xinghui, so he stood up excitedly and fired with full firepower.

After he finished speaking, the other reporters all stared at He Xinghui, wanting to know how He Xinghui would answer and what shocking remarks he would make.
