Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 149 Two-game losing streak (Please subscribe! Please recommend! Please ask!)

It's no wonder that when the Bulls renewed their contract with Kirk Hinrich, they offered a huge contract of 5 million for five years.

Of course, it's not the two aces of the current Bulls that Zhao Hao really admires.

Instead, backup point guard Ben Gordon, British Jordan Luol Deng and boxing champion Tyson Chandler.

These three guys are the ones who can support the Bulls in the future.

Especially this guy Ben Gordon, who will be the number one star of the Bulls in the future, with peak data averaging 21.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.

Even in 08, when the Bulls selected Rose, their true son of the Windy City, they did not immediately trade Ben Gordon, who had overlapping positions.

Instead, play double point guards to try the compatibility of the two.

Although the result was not very good, it was enough to show their trust and expectation for Ben Gordon.

Game start.

The Bulls took the lead in a wave of explosions, and Eddie Curry continued to forcefully beat Mim in the paint.

Zhao Hao couldn't help thinking of the previous game between the Bulls and the Suns. The offensive team, the Suns, lost that game. The main reason for the loss was Eddie Curry.

You know, this season is the last year of Eddie Curry's rookie contract, and Zhao Hao knows how hard a rookie in a contract year can play.

And Eddie Curry can definitely be regarded as the fiercest one here. This guy is desperate for a big contract. It's like eating a fake brother throughout the season, forcing all kinds of insiders to make kills.

The key is that people play like this, and the shooting rate is still very high, averaging 54% shooting rate per game.

It's no wonder that he can sign a 6-year $6000 million contract next season.

It's just that Eddie Curry, who puts all his energy on the offensive end, is completely weak on the defensive end. Look at the 5.6 rebounds per game. This is the data of a starting center. Can you believe it?

As Mim was blown up again in the paint, Zhao Hao was once again arranged by Tang Shuai to play in advance.

Kobe on the field finally took a heart-saving pill, and excitedly gave Zhao Hao a high five.

"Fuck them!"

At least the Lakers, who have changed to five small lineups, can fully keep up with the Bulls in terms of offense.

It's just that in the next game, the Lakers still couldn't limit Eddie Curry's performance on the defensive end.

With the end of the halftime game, the Lakers entered the halftime break with 42 points down at 48:6.

"We can't limit Eddie Curry, and even their backup center Tyson Chandler can't limit. Kirk Hinrich can always find opportunities to pass the ball inside. We have lost [-] points in the half court."

The assistant coach Hamblen who returned to the locker room said with some concern.

Tang Shuai nodded with a sigh. With big men like Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler inside, the Lakers really couldn't guard against them inside.

The point is, the Bulls' defensive strength is not bad.

Kirk Hinrich is definitely one of the best defensive point guards in the league. In addition, there are backup defensive champions Luol Deng, Antonio Davis and Tyson Chandler.

With the support of these four, the Bulls' defense inside and outside is enough to deal with the offensive firepower of most teams.

More importantly, in addition to excellent individual defensive capabilities, the Bulls' overall defense is also very good.

This is where Tang Shuai has the most headaches.

He knew that this was the foundation that Jordan laid for the Bulls.

Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, these three injected defensive blood into the Bulls.

Even though the three have left the Bulls for so many years, such defensive bloodiness is still passed on to the Bulls' management.

"In the final analysis, there is still a lack of a strong defensive center. It would be great if a defensive player like Tyson Chandler was in the Lakers."

Mentioning this, Tang Shuai couldn't help but think of the deal with Mim these days.

He knew that this should be true. Judging from the state of Mihm on the court and the gossip of the media, he knew that the old guy Kupchak did put Mihm on the trading shelf.

But the crux of the problem is that the news of the transaction has been out for a long time, but nothing has been heard.

Such behavior is extremely disruptive to the team's morale, that is, Mihm is not the main player of the Lakers.

If the core of the team such as Kobe, Butler, and Odom spread rumors about the transaction, but did not let the transaction happen immediately, then the picture would be the worst.

Therefore, Tang Shuai didn't quite understand why that old fellow Kupchak did what he did.

If there is no possibility of trading, why spread the news of trading memes?

Of course, one thing Tang Shuai can be sure of is that Kupchak's heart is with the Lakers, and Old Buss should be more aware of this.

The game is over.

The Lakers lost the game 95-102.

这场比赛科比已经尽力了，独自砍下30分7篮板3助攻的数据，奥多姆也展现出了自己的实力13分8篮板8助攻。

Butler frequently led the bench to chase points in the second quarter, and also scored 19 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

赵昊看着自己的数据有些无可奈何的叹了叹气，9分3篮板1助攻1抢断，三分球8中3。

This data is too general.

But fortunately, it won't be long before he can improve his strength again, so Zhao Hao didn't fully care about it.

During the post-match interview, the troublesome reporters began to ask questions, and the questions they asked were naturally very tricky.

"The Lakers only defeated the No. 8 Suns in the Western Conference in the last game, but this game was suppressed by the Bulls and lost the game by [-] points. Was the previous game all luck? "

Hearing this, Tang Shuai was a little angry, and said directly with a stern expression: "Of course it's not luck! The Suns were indeed No. [-] in the Western Conference last game, but so were we.

The regular season is very long, no team will win forever, we will take a good look at the replay after the game, and then see what the problem is, we can adjust it quickly. "

After finishing the interview, Tang Shuai left in a bad mood, and the entire Lakers team was also in a bad mood.

After the game, Corbett asked Divac to give Mim more training. As for the content of the extra training, Divac, who has been in the NBA for many years, naturally understood what Kobe meant.

"Hey, Bidong."

So the content of the additional training is to improve Mim's defensive awareness. This is only one of them. The second is of course to beat and beat him, elbows and waists. This is really normal.

This is the real NBA. In a team, it is like a big dye vat of society, with colorful colors.

Whether it's the old Jordan, the new Kobe, or the future James, they all have unique ways of motivating their teammates.

After the game with the Bulls, the Lakers went to Sacramento non-stop for a back-to-back game.

The result is that the Lakers lost again!

The Kings of this period are not the underdogs of the league who will stay at the gate of the Western Conference every year in the playoffs in the future.

They have reached the NBA playoffs for 7 consecutive years. The best result was in 2002, when they reached the Western Conference Finals.

He also played a tie-break with the OK combination that was so powerful back then, and it didn't even come to an end until overtime.

If it weren't for Kobe and O'Neal who scored 30+ at the same time, they would have eliminated the Kings with difficulty.

Maybe they will win the league championship that season!
After all, who was the Eastern Conference champion at that time, the New Jersey Nets.

Led by Jason Kidd, who is not yet outstanding in offense, the team's strongest scorer is Kenyon Martin, but his regular season averages are only 14.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.

With such a team with a serious lack of offensive firepower, which team in the West can it play against?
Therefore, it is no wonder that the Nets were directly swept out by the Lakers in the general game.

But I have to admit that the Kings during this period were really strong!
In this match, Zhao Hao finally saw the strength of Chris Webber and Peja Stojakovic.

Tebi is Peja, this guy's three-point shooting ability is simply terrifying, and Zhao Hao can't find the north when he shoots.

Zhao Hao also said that Peja is really better than him in terms of three-point shooting ability. As long as he is given a little space, it will be a three-point goal.

And Peja also intends to compete with the recent three-point shooter in the league, all kinds of verbal and shooting games and trash talk.

"Young man, I heard that your ultra-long three-pointer is a bit accurate, but what's the use of that, I am the ancestor when it comes to three-pointers."

Your ancestor, your uncle!You are the ancestor of the three-pointer, so what the hell is Reggie Miller?

Zhao Hao really wanted to say, old man, you don't talk about martial arts, what's wrong with bullying me as a young man, let's go heads-up in two years if we have the ability!
But talk is talk, and in the end the Lakers lost, so it's useless to try to be brave.

这场比赛，湖人队也让佩贾斯托亚科维奇砍下了25分5篮板5助攻的数据，三分线外更是8中4。

And Chris Webber on the inside is even worse. He dug the Lakers inside to be riddled with holes and slashed 30+10 data.

After the game, Kobe rarely accepted an interview with reporters, threw away the towel and returned to the locker room.

The two-game losing streak of the Lakers finally dropped the No. [-] throne in the Western Conference, behind the Suns.

"Tang Shuai, why didn't Kobe accept the interview, did he feel ashamed?"

"The Lakers suffered their first two-game losing streak since the start of the game. What went wrong?"

"Is it true that the five small lineups are completely useless in the face of strong insiders as other coaches said?"

"At the beginning of the season, ESPN predicted that the Lakers would not be able to make the playoffs this year. If this game continues, will the Lakers choose to compete for lottery picks in the future?"

In the post-match interview, the Lakers, who had suffered two consecutive losses, were bombarded by the reporters who caused the accident.

Zhao Hao, who was inexplicably pulled by Tang Shuai for emergency, had no choice but to take the blame for the interview.

"We have Kobe Bryant, he is a superstar, we have Tang Shuai, he is a champion bishop, we also have Lamar Odom, Butler and other outstanding players, we will definitely win and make the playoffs. "

Tang Shuai also echoed and said: "The Lakers have championship background and heritage. Such a team will never give up the regular season by doing badly. We will adjust quickly."
