I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 605 Chris, are you jealous?
The game entered the second half.

The two teams played quite fiercely in the second quarter.

The Lakers led by Russell and the Clippers led by Keliu had a bloody battle in the second quarter, which is inextricably linked.

Russell is undoubtedly a star seed. Although this is only his second season, his overall style of play has matured. Compared with Ingram, he is obviously much more mature.

He is not the type with amazing athletic talent. He relies more on his excellent skills and feel for the game. He has the standard size of a shooting guard. His shooting ability and basketball IQ are his advantages. He can be partnered with any type of guard or wing. .Good at using pick-and-rolls, excellent ability to change speeds and directions, and the ability to read defenses is outstanding among his peers.

Needless to say, Ke Liu, the league's super sixth man!

Even a very powerful player that is rare in the history of the Sixth Man.

When the two fight, the tip of the needle is facing the wheat, and neither can suppress the other.

"Fack! If D'Angelo continues to play like this, he won't take my position?" On the Lakers bench, Lu Wei muttered.

Usually, he is the core of the Lakers' second team, but today, he was pressed on the bench, and the core of the second team became Russell, which made him feel a sense of crisis.

"Probably not, don't worry." As a bench player, Yang Shaoxia didn't care at all, and said nonchalantly, "Boss is not that kind of person."

"." Lu Wei looked at him speechlessly, why don't you have any sense of crisis?Let's see if you still say such things when you don't play the ball one day.

In a place where the competition in the NBA is so fierce, there is basically one position and one pit, and there are very few people who talk about making up for their numbers. Even if there are, they will basically disappear after a long time.

Therefore, anyone who wants to get ahead will feel a sense of crisis.

Just like Lu Wei.

And people as heartless as Yang Shaoxia are really a minority.

Halftime is over.

The two teams scored 50 to 58, and the Lakers were still 8 points behind, and the point difference was very tight.

Russell led the team alone in the second quarter and performed very well, scoring 12 points in a single quarter. By the end of halftime, he had scored 17 points.

In the third quarter, the main players of both sides returned, and Xu Xuan, who hadn't scored in the entire first half, began to lose his temper.

First, two ultra-long three-pointers from the outside line faced the defense and scored, followed by two clean breakthroughs to the basket and scored. In addition, the three-pointers from the outside line caused two consecutive fouls by me. Scored 15 points!
The two fouls totaled six free throws, and only one was vacated.

I refused to accept the cannon and counterattacked. First, I caused Xu Xuan to foul when I broke through, and then when I was retreating, I made a successful steal and counterattacked to score.

Also scored 4 points in a row!
Although a little less than Xu Xuan, but the momentum has not weakened.

The game was very exciting, and the Lakers fans present kept cheering for the home team. Until the last few minutes of the third quarter, the point difference was finally caught up.

A few Clippers fans at the scene felt lost.

Seeing the point difference being caught up step by step, they felt pain in their hearts.

But no matter how painful it was, they had nothing to do, they could only watch from the sidelines, and they didn't even have a voice, which made the Clippers fans confused.

On the field.

I panted heavily.

For him, it is definitely not an easy task to compete with Xu Xuan. Last season was fine, but since this season, Xu Xuan has also improved a lot on the defensive end. When defending, his skills are not so good, but the desperate and entanglement The endless posture, but it seems to remind me of a man who has retired.

"Heh, I really got your true inheritance." There was a smile on the corner of my mouth, I don't know whether it is comfort or irony.

distance.

Kobe was lying on the sofa with his legs crossed, just in time to see the smile on my face, and then he didn't know if it was a sympathy or something, and the corner of his mouth also opened: "Chris, are you jealous?!"

envy?

Let's talk about winning the championship first!

Kobe doesn't look at Paul, he doesn't even have a championship, he has qualifications, but he doesn't have honors, it's still useless in the end!
The game went to the fourth quarter.

The Lakers began to overtake.

Xu Xuan's scoring ability is really terrifying. He didn't score a single point in the first half, but in the second half, he scored 30 points.

The Clippers replaced the lineup of Keliu and Paul to chase points, but until the end, the Lakers still maintained an advantage of about 5 points. They had no choice but to lose the game with hatred and were reversed by the Lakers.

"Wonderful game!!! Not even a single point in the first half, and 30 points in the second half, Xu Xuan is really fantastic!" Ke Fan exclaimed again and again.

"Xu Xuan is such a player. You can never look at him in a conventional way. He will create miracles."

Yang Yi also said in a low voice.

Not scoring 1 point in the first half and scoring 30 points in the second half, Xu Xuan is no one else.

In the post-match interview, I was asked how I felt about the game.

He shook his head with frustration and exhaustion on his face: "It's not very good, it sucks to be turned over."

"Then why didn't you make adjustments and counterattack when you were turned over?" The reporter asked again.

I cannon raised my head and gave this person an angry look: "Which eye of yours saw that we didn't adjust and counterattack? Would it be useful for us to adjust and counterattack? There is such a person on the opposite side, no matter how you adjust it, it won't work."

".Did you get discouraged when you said that Chris?"

I took a deep breath and shook my head: "It's not discouraged, it's just telling the truth. Anyone who encounters such an opponent needs to be cautious."

"But we will have the next game. We have already lost two games, but we will not lose the third and fourth games. We will definitely come back later!"

I still have confidence in the cannonball. In this game, the Clippers had a relatively strong suppressing force in front of them. They have always maintained the lead in points, but they failed to press to the end. The Lakers chased them back in the third quarter.

If you can maintain this suppressive force until the end, maybe you really have hope of winning.

But I know in my heart that he and Jordan alone cannot do this at present, and their lineup still lacks a crucial "accessory"!
After winning the Clippers, the Lakers' record became 38 wins and 6 losses.

The next home game is back-to-back against the Detroit Pistons.

The core player of the Pistons is undoubtedly the "Zhuangshen" Andre Drummond.

Drummond received a five-year, $1.3 million maximum salary contract from the Pistons this season.Zhuang Shen has player options in the fifth year of the contract and has the right to choose to opt out of the contract.

Drummond is 2 meters tall and weighs 11 pounds. He is one of the few heavy centers in the league today. In the 279 draft, Drummond was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the ninth overall pick in the first round.Drummond showed excellent potential in his rookie season, averaging 2012 minutes per game, contributing 20.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.6 blocks.Since the second season, Drummond has determined the core position of the Pistons inside.In order to further consolidate Drummond's leadership, the Pistons also chose to trade Monroe, who was not suitable for him.

After Stan Van Gundy took charge of the Pistons, they even traded to Reggie Jackson, forming an internal and external partner with Drummond.In the 2015-16 season, Drummond played a total of 32.9 minutes during the regular season, averaging 16.2 points, 14.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.4 blocks per game.While Drummond became the league's rebounding leader, he also led the Pistons to the Eastern Conference playoffs.

However, Zhuang Shen's performance in the playoffs was average, mainly because this guy's free throws were too bad.

So far in his career, Drummond has averaged only 38% of his free throws per game.In four seasons, Drummond has never made a season with a free throw percentage higher than 45%, and the 2015-16 season was as low as 35.5%, creating a new career low.This also made him the target of foul tactics adopted by many teams.

Drummond's weakness is that his offensive methods are still very lacking, and his skills are also very rough.However, in this era of withering centers, he is obviously definitely worthy of a maximum salary contract from the Pistons.

In addition to Zhuang Shen, the Pistons also signed insider Jon Leuer from the Suns with a four-year contract worth up to $4200 million this season.

现年27岁的洛伊尔是2011年选秀大会的首轮总第40顺位新秀，身高6英尺10英寸的他在场上可以司职大前锋和中锋两个位置。

So far in his career, Leuer has played a total of 5 seasons, playing for the Bucks, Cavaliers, Grizzlies, Suns and other teams.So far, he has played 253 regular season games (45 of which he played as a starter). In an average of 13.7 minutes per game, he can deliver 5.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 0.7 assists.

Leuer's characteristic is that although he is a big player on the offensive end, he has the ability to shoot from the outside.While playing for the Suns last season, Leuer played a total of 67 games for the team. He averaged 18.7 minutes of playing time, 8.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.

Among them, scoring, rebounding and other data have created career high records.From beyond the three-point line, Leuer's long-range shooting percentage reached 38.2%. With such a shooting percentage, he can hit 0.6 three-pointers per game.During the effectiveness of the Suns last season, Leuer once served as the team's starter.

The Pistons love the inside this season. In addition to Leuer, they also signed former Spurs center Boban Marjanovic. This contract lasts for 3 years and the total price is 2100 million US dollars.

今年27岁的博班·马扬诺维奇来自塞尔维亚，他是马刺去年从欧洲相中的，并与他签下了1年120万美元的合同。在这个赛季博班共为马刺出场了54次，其中4场首发。在9.4分钟的场均时间里可以贡献5.5分和3.6个篮板，效率相当不俗。

Since the Spurs offered Gasol, they were unable to match Boban's contract, and Boban was able to join the Pistons smoothly.Boban, who played for the Spurs last season, wore No. 40. Since the Pistons' No. 40 has been retired by Bill Lambiel, he will choose to wear No. 51 in the new season.

After the press conference, Boban also accepted a one-on-one question session from fans.As a big man with a height of more than 220 cm, his height is naturally the focus of discussion.

This guy is 221 tall and is called "Serbian Dayao". With this height, there is basically no opponent in the league except Boshen.

Meanwhile, the Pistons signed Ish Smith to a three-year, $3 million contract.

Ismael Smith, who is only 183 in height, came from the prestigious Wake Forest University, but lost the draft because of his stature.The Rockets gave him his first NBA contract, but soon sent him to the Grizzlies in the Battier trade.Since then, Smith has started a wandering career. He has played for the Rockets, Grizzlies, Warriors, Magic, Bucks, Thunder, 76ers, Pelicans and Suns. After being given up by the Pelicans last year, Smith joined the 76ers again. , And finally played his worth, in 50 games all started, averaging 14.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game.

These signings are not bad, and they can all be said to be preparations for the playoffs.

However, sending Dinwiddie to the Nets is a bit of a stretch.
Although Dinwiddie suffered a torn ligament injury, his potential talent is here. He is completely a future star player, but he only got a drinking fountain player with 1.2 points and 1 rebound.
Now!
How much you look down on me, Dinwiddie.

Dinwiddie is a player in the same class as Xu Xuan, but the pick is lower than Xu Xuan. He was the eighth pick in the second round. He played 12 games for the Pistons last season, averaging 13.3 minutes per game and contributing 4.8 points , 1.8 assists, 1.4 rebounds.

In the two seasons of the NBA, Dinwiddie played a total of 46 games, averaging 13.3 minutes per game, contributing 4.4 points, 2.7 assists, and 1.4 rebounds.

Dinwiddie was a bit of an unlucky guy who tore his left ACL before the draft and ended his third season at Colorado with it.Most speculated he would return for a fourth season to improve his NBA draft standings.Instead, the sane-enough Harvard recruit chose to enter the draft knowing that the professional environment would benefit his recovery.

从之前预估的第一轮掉到了第二轮，被活塞选中，接着在很多比赛中有着不错的表现，包括2015年2月他的第一场职业比赛中在德里克·罗斯头上得到12分9助攻。此后这名6尺6寸的控球后卫在发展联盟进进出出。

This time I was traded to the Bulls. How should I put it, there are not many opportunities, but there are talents and potentials. But after this injury, everyone doesn't trust him anymore and is unwilling to give him a chance.

In fact, Dinwiddie is a very good and selfless player. He was in the Nets in his previous life, and Owen Durant was not there. He carried the banner of the Nets, but when Owen and Durant came back, he immediately Retiring to the second line again, he doesn't like to compete, he just wants to play well to prove himself.
