Forward to the basket

No one thought that the Los Angeles Lakers would counterattack so fast. They thought that these guys would have a new lineup process, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Gasol's adaptation speed after joining the Lakers made many competitors in the West feel a little uneasy. Such a big man with comprehensive personal abilities is nothing more than adding wings to the Lakers.

Originally, the Lakers lineup already had good competitiveness in the West. Kobe added Odom, Bynum and Fisher, and now there is another Gasol. The strength of the inside line really doesn't need much explain.

Although Bynum is still not comparable to the original Sharks, but now that there are more and more inside players, his existence is to continue the history of the Lakers' center, and this guy's ability is actually not bad.

There is still a big gap between him and Garnett's top insiders, but as a rookie who has just joined the league for only two years, his current performance is already a very good start.

After all, the inside line is not a swingman, and the maturity of this position is much later than those of the guards. Therefore, a good inside line will be such a treasure. Bynum's potential is at least very exciting.

Even the "Zen Master" said that what Andrew lacks is experience and technical training, but his height and ability to move around the basket do have great potential, so Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will give this kid certain guidance.

Perhaps many people regard this kid as a continuation of the tradition of the center of the Lakers. Perhaps the future results have not been seen yet. At least this is a venture capital investment. It seems that the prospect is not bad.

Bynum's growth rate is fast enough, and the arrival of Gasol also gave Bynum enough space.

A European big man who can fire from the middle distance and can also support in the high position, the effect that such a big man can bring is unimaginable to others, especially his precise passing skills.

As for the ability to interpret the triangle offense, Gasol also makes people feel very amazing. Although he is not an absolute core here, the Spaniard is indispensable for the Lakers to attack now.

Even a person like Kobe, who is hard to say a good word about others, said to reporters, "Paul is very adaptable to the Lakers' tactical system. With him, the team's operation has become smoother."

Fluid and natural, this is how the Lakers feel now, especially on offense, with Gasol on the court, Kobe has more room to move freely.

And Odom also doesn't have to pay the price for his own fouls, and his all-around skills can kill opponents unscrupulously. This guy's scoring statistics in recent games have almost doubled.

Such a Lakers team is absolutely terrifying, especially when Kobe's fierce firepower bursts out.

It is said that "Peter Pan" who can score 81 points is a standard scoring maniac, but just a Kobe-crazed Lakers team is not terrible. Let's see how the Suns reversed them in the playoffs.

Crazy alone, even if you can earn 100 every game like Zhang Dashuai, can you guarantee the team wins?Besides, no one will let you score 81 points every game, it's just a miracle.

But now if Kobe can win the game by scoring [-] points in each game, then the competitiveness of the Lakers will start to become terrible, because their biggest lethal weapon does not need to be fully fired every game.

Six consecutive victories, this is the biggest proof, this is not the fruit of victory on a team like the 76ers or the Kings. In six games, the Lakers defeated the Jazz, Mavericks and Suns in a row.

And these three games were played consecutively, the intensity of this kind of game can be imagined, but the Lakers won all of them!

Even Rivers said after watching the video of the game, "Now those opponents in the West are finally going to feel the pressure from the Lakers. Our old enemies are recovering, and recovering very quickly."

Two guests and one host, this kind of schedule is actually very unfavorable, the interval between them is only one day, but in the face-to-face confrontation of the Los Angeles Purple and Gold Army, they just beat the Jazz, which has recently won three consecutive victories, 90:83 in the away game!

Everyone knows how difficult it is for Sloan's team to play at home, but the fans in Salt Lake City only saw the home team struggling to catch up with the score. Task.

Even though Sloan has been yelling on the sidelines to make the players play tougher and be more resolute!Salt Lake City's home court was still captured, and Deron Williams and Boozer, who jointly scored 58 points, were also very helpless.

The Jazz made a total of 45 fouls in the game, and three of the starters were sent off for six fouls. However, such a tough defense still failed to stop the Lakers' crazy offense. Those guys were like breaking through!

Breakthrough, strong attack at the basket, those who always say that the Lakers rely on jump shots to determine the outcome, can finally shut up this time, the Zijin Army relied on such fierce breakthroughs to completely defeat the Jazz.

Home whistle?Sorry, this problem did not exist that night. The Lakers' breakthrough was too violent. The referee's whistle frequently interrupted the game. Even the boos of the Salt Lake City fans shook the sky, but it could not change the result.

Fight tough with the Jazz, and fight with the Suns for offensive firepower. Don't look at the big sharks who have returned to the West and have already appeared in Phoenix, but in Phoenix, the winner is the Los Angeles native who came from afar.

Two seasons earlier, O'Neal would still laugh at how weak the Lakers were after losing him.

In particular, the new boss of the Lakers, Kobe, was the target of constant ridicule by O'Neal, "Without me to help you defend in the interior, your breakthrough is like a sports car with no gas! It can't run at all!"

The Suns introduced O'Neal, perhaps because they wanted him to play a counterattack against his old club.

But before the counterattack drama that the Suns wanted to see had time to stage, the Lakers turned their old opponents on their backs on the Phoenix Suns' turf. In the next game, he actually beat his opponent 109:101, leading the game all the way.

Using offense to suppress the offense, such a tough effect was achieved on the opponent's territory, and Stoudemire, who has always been fierce, faltered when faced with the joint attack of Bynum and Gasol. .

Nash scored 30 points, which is not a good phenomenon for a core guard who can get double-digit assists without any problems, just like when Kobe carried the Lakers forward alone.

O'Neal, who was on the sidelines due to injury, did not comment on his old club after the game. He only said that we would meet in the playoffs. It can be seen that the big shark is also weighing it after seeing the vigorous state of the Lakers.

Some words can be said, but if some words are said, it will be difficult for you to take them back. The Lakers' fierce winning streak, even the Mavericks, who are currently ranked first in the West, have not escaped bad luck.

Since the Blue Nets seduced Kidd, an excellent point guard old monster, the Mavericks' offensive firepower is less impetuous than before, but it is really more stable and has a higher offensive efficiency. Lou, but if you're playing at the Staples Center, sometimes stability isn't necessarily a good thing.

Especially when the Lakers have won five consecutive victories, the habit of winning is hard to be curbed. Even if you are the top player in the Western Conference, you may not be able to get any benefits at the Lakers' home court.

The Suns lost, the Jazz lost, the Mavericks also fell, and the Lakers, who had won six games in a row, had quietly reached the sixth place in the Western Conference, only one step away from the Suns dangling in front of them.

No one will make sarcastic remarks at this time, saying that the Lakers are destined to be the eighth in the Western Conference. After Kobe left O'Neal, he can only enjoy the treatment of the first round of the playoffs.

The current Zijin Army is returning to the ranks of competition in the West with a very crazy attitude.

No one will doubt the coaching ability of "Zen Master". Although some people always say that this nagging old man is always used to hugging the thighs of superstars, the teams he coaches really always win championships.

Some people may say, if you give me Jordan and Kobe, I can do the same, but Joe's helper has wasted a full seven years before, don't always say that he has no helpers around him.

If "Zen Master" was able to win two three-peat championships in Chicago because he was lucky enough to go against the sky, then he can also win a three-peat championship with the Lakers. Could it be that this old guy is the illegitimate son of God?

Therefore, never criticize a person's achievements because of such things as jealousy. You can only say that "Zen Master" is very experienced in dealing with people. He knows what he wants and knows what he should do at critical moments.

Others failed to win the championship by using Joe to help him, but "Zen Master" became a basketball god of a generation. Similarly, when he arrived in Los Angeles, he made the ok combination of O'Neal and Kobe wear three rings.

It has nothing to do with character or not. It can only be said that this old guy will choose the team and the time to strike. Moreover, his luck is indeed against the sky. Every time he strikes, he gets the best time. point.

Of course, it's different for an old fox like Auerbach who likes to plan and control the overall situation in Boston when he has nothing to do. I also said privately that Phil is lucky, but he also has ability.

I am afraid that in the entire history of the NBA, there are not many capable people who can be named by a great cardinal of a generation. The fact that "Zen Master" can stand up to such an evaluation is enough to prove that his ability is not bad.

Such an experienced head coach knows very well what his team needs and how to play.

The Lakers now have such an ability, and their existence is definitely not good news for those competitors in the West.

Just like the Celtics in the East, once these traditional teams start to exert their strength, they will be very terrifying. The Celtics and the Purple and Gold Army will coincidentally start a powerful counterattack this season!

Perhaps, Boston and Los Angeles, which were entangled decades ago, will open a new era...
