Basketball: Start with the nerve knife

Chapter 72 What kind of champion are you?

Pausing didn't help.

The Spurs taught the rest of the league how to defend LeBron in the Finals.

However, Cleveland's management has not carried out any remedial measures this summer.

LeBron has no shortage of helpers throughout his career, but at the beginning of his career, there are indeed fewer teammates around him who can open up space for him.

Big Z averaged 14 points per game, and Larry Hughes averaged 12 points per game. They are the second and third most scoring players in the Cavaliers, but their scoring methods are similar to LeBron's. More than 2% of them come from the three-second zone. Do not open space.

In the end, the Lakers and even the entire defensive formation shrunk to the basket, and the Cavaliers had absolutely nothing to do.

In the last 4 minutes and 14 seconds of the game, Kobe held the ball on the flank.

Director Zhang, who has completely entered the state of explaining (blowing) and speaking (section), is crackling like a serial gun.

"This goal is scored, and the Lakers are about to open the score to more than 12 points. Let's see how Kobe handles it. He made the shot against someone! Oh! It's beautiful! It's really daring to shoot! It's too difficult. This shot! Come again Look at the slow motion, oops! This is really not easy, Kobe’s body is turned to one side, look at the ability to stay in the air, just like this, he can still make a shot! It’s not good to be dissatisfied, this is Kobe, the key shot is really good! This That’s why I often say that James is not as good as him, he is really good!”

Yu Jia and Su Qun looked at Director Zhang's excitement as if no one else was around, glanced at each other, and showed a smile of "you know and I know".

When it comes to explaining Kobe, Director Zhang is definitely a master-level commentator.

Even a foreign celebrity can't compare to him...

In the end, the game ended, 112 to 101, and the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers by 11 points.

LeBron heard the beep, listened to the cheers of the audience, looked at the excited Lakers fans, and lowered his head in frustration.

He scored 31 points in this game, but the Cavaliers still lost this game.

And this is his current status. His scoring average is as high as 29.6 points, ranking first in the league. The Cavaliers' record is not as good as last year, and they are currently only ranked fourth.

He obviously has better statistics, but the team's record is even worse. He doesn't understand.Seeing Kobe's high fives with his teammates next to him, he subconsciously found the post-match statistics.

科比26分4篮板5助攻；奥多姆16分3篮板4助攻，李万15分3篮板7助攻，拜纳姆13分12篮板，卢克-沃顿12分3篮板2助攻……

All five starters scored in double figures!

As for the Cavaliers, he looked down, Drew Gooden scored 10 points, Big Z scored 11 points, Gibson scored 11 points, Larry Hughes scored 13 points...

Although all four scored in double figures, the help they received was obviously not as good as the opponent.

They are 11 points behind the Lakers' starting lineup!
And this game happened to lose by 11 points!
LeBron seems to have found the reason for the team's poor record...

After the game, the media asked Kobe how he felt about winning the "23VS24" battle. Kobe said lightly: "This is just an ordinary regular season. You don't need to add too many elements. Losing a game and winning a game are the best in the NBA." Regular season, no big deal!"

This answer obviously didn't satisfy the dozen or twenty reporters surrounding Kobe. Since they couldn't make an article on this aspect, they chose another topic: "During the game, the Chinese rookie rejected your request for the ball. What did you think at the time?" What is it?"

"What I'm thinking is, man, you better ask God to bless you to make this round, or..." Kobe smiled when he said this, "OK, it's no big deal, we won in the end, so All of these are good outcomes."

Even, the Lakers' counterattack started from that time.

Although Kobe was paranoid, he was not so unreasonable.

Ok……

If I target more severely in the team confrontation, it has nothing to do with this matter!
Phil Jackson heard his answer and couldn't help praying in his heart: Thank you Lord, this is the best situation.

Some people cry and some laugh.

Kobe was indifferent to Li Wan's refusal to give the ball, which was unexpected by Fisher.This made him have to rethink how to keep his position.

At his age, he can have no statistics, but he can't lose his starting position.

Li Wan was also being interviewed, and today it was broadcast live across the United States. He first kept talking trash to LeBron on the court, and then refused Kobe's request for the ball. His behavior was called "dominant".

Although the American media are familiar with this "trash talker" being very flamboyant on the court, isn't this too flamboyant?

This also makes them very much looking forward to the Lakers' first game in December.

On December 12st, the Lakers are at home, and their upcoming opponent is the Sacramento Kings!
Li Wan, the "dirty talker", is about to confront Artest, who had previously threatened to give Li Wan a little flair.The reporters asked Li Wan to speak harshly, and Li Wan rolled his eyes at them. At this time, the Lakers' public relations department also came over and kicked the reporters out.

It is worth mentioning that early the next morning, the "Ohio State Newspaper" scolded the "Cleveland Candide" which is affiliated to Ohio.

As a local media in Cleveland, Li Wan was very unhappy with LeBron's mentality yesterday. He wanted to ask for an explanation for his star, but the "Ohio State News" refused. Li Wan just won for the entire Ohio State in April. Kudos to that 4-pointer for going down in Ohio State basketball history.

LeBron made Li Wan mess up his mentality, because his mentality is not good.

Why attack an Ohio hero for no reason?
He is the champion of the NCAA Finals!

What champion are you?
This sentence is directly lore. Cleveland has not won a championship in 50 years. This "curse" tightly binds the city and makes the city lifeless.

That's why they're crazy about LeBron James.

They are eager for this "Pride of Heaven" to lead the team to break through the shackles, and because of this, they are not reconciled to LeBron's embarrassment in front of the rookie!

In addition, the Ohio State News did not forget to collect debts for Li Wan. They all knew that LeBron owed Li Wan $10.

LeBron, play money!

On November 11, the Lakers ushered in a challenge from the Indiana Pacers at home.

After the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills in 04, the Pacers have been on the road of reconstruction. In three years, the original Pacers team has only one Tinsley left.

During the three-year rebuilding period, this team finally saw the next player who can take on the future responsibility of this team-Danny Granger.

He entered the league only in his junior year, unexpectedly "one step at a time", from 7.5 points in his rookie period to 13.9 points in his sophomore year to 19.9 points per game so far this season, Danny Granger in his third year Transformed into a first-line player in the league.

In fact, it was also this season that he won the "Most Improved Player Award of the Season" in the end, and he was also selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star bench during the All-Star Weekend!
At the age of 25, he seems to have a bright future.

It's a pity, it's also a "brittle bone"!
In this game, he encountered Kobe's entangled defense, showing his immature side. He made 18 of 6 shots and his shooting percentage was only 33.3%.In addition, there were 5 turnovers, more than twice his average of 2.1 turnovers per game.

On the other hand, Kobe made 24 of 11 shots, made 4 of 3 free throws, scored 27 points, added 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and only made one turnover. With his actual performance, he told Danny Granger what a "mature leader" is. .

In this game, Li Wan once again scored 8 assists and only made 2 turnovers. He organized the entire Lakers offense in an orderly manner.

Phil Jackson's eyes almost narrowed into a slit when he smiled.

Seeing this, Fisher was anxious, and secretly sent a message to "Zen Master" at night.

— Coach, I'm fine.

Phil Jackson's texts came back quickly.

——No, you're not fine.

— Just in case, you have two more days off, buddy, come back in December!
When Fisher saw the reply, he immediately found Jenny Buss' contact number.

Phil Jackson "abandoned" him from beginning to end, which made him have the urge to put a hat on the old man.Fortunately, at the moment when he was about to press the button, the remaining rationality overcame the impulse, and Fisher did not make the call in the end.
