Chapter 173 173. The Walker Crash Begins

Spring in New Orleans is very suitable for sea fishing. Spring is a very suitable season for sea fishing. The chance of being affected by the monsoon is less, and the danger is much lower.

Due to the hurricanes in New Orleans, the sea transportation has basically been abandoned, and the sea transportation here has not been restarted in the past ten years. Therefore, it is rare to restore a trace of original ecology in the bays of the United States, which is very suitable for sea fishing.

Kobe and Anthony are in a group, Paul George and Curry are in a group, and the two groups drive boats to their respective selected sea areas to compete, to see whether the old group is stronger or the young group is stronger!

"It's just spring fishing? The sea breeze must not blow you to death."

"It's too cold, I'll just bask in the white clouds here."

"Fishing is too unlucky, look at the Mavericks in 07..."

Liu Ren found a lot of excuses to lie on the deck chairs on the yacht deck, saying that he would not go fishing in a deeper water like Kobe, Curry, Anthony, Paul George and others in a small boat.

In terms of fishing, Liu Ren has always had a "talent" that is unmatched by others. No matter how many fish are in the waters he fishes, no matter how suitable the weather is for fishing, he can put the bait into the fish's mouth without letting the fish take the bait ...

It feels good to drive a rented yacht to bask in the white clouds at sea, but Liu Ren is a little regretful that his four beauties went back to Los Angeles ahead of schedule with Vanessa and Kobe's two daughters.

Unlike at the beginning when he didn’t understand what NBA players usually do, now Liu Ren is completely used to the life of NBA players. From a certain point of view, basketball is a job that they love very much, but after all, it’s just work, work Besides, I will never talk about work unless necessary.

In the eyes of ordinary fans, NBA players have no other life except basketball. It seems that everything the players do is related to basketball. In fact, the players almost vomit after playing more than 80 games a year. No one usually mentions basketball. things.

The four people who were fishing and Liu Ren who was basking in the white clouds generally relaxed a little today. They are very popular and busy people, and they don't have much time to play even during the All-Star Weekend.

Liu Ren and Anthony are okay, the signed endorsements are not particularly large, Kobe, Curry, and Paul George have a lot of endorsements, and they don't even have the opportunity to stay at home for two days like Liu Ren.

The leisurely days always pass so quickly, and the busy NBA season continues to unfold in full swing.

On February 2, the Lakers ushered in back-to-back home games after the All-Star break at home.

Perhaps in order to make up for the brutal consecutive away games of the Los Angeles team at the end of January, the Lakers and Clippers both had a 1-game consecutive home game after the All-Star break.

The Lakers schedule is as unpopular with the league as before. Even if there are 3 back-to-back home games in a row, they put all the back-to-back games in February together.

The Lakers' first back-to-back opponent after the All-Star Game is the Chicago Bulls.

For the Bulls, I don't know whether it is good or bad news. Derrick Rose has been out for at least two weeks due to repeated knee injuries.

This is not good news for the Lakers. The current Bulls are more difficult to deal with without Rose than with Rose.

Before the Lakers play the Bulls at home, there is still a game to be played at the Staples Center. There is also a wave of consecutive home games for the Clippers to usher in their first opponent after the All-Star, the Indiana Pacers.

The Clippers had a flat record before the All-Star break, wandering back and forth from fifth to seventh in the West.The Lakers attach great importance to the possibility of meeting their opponents in the first round of the playoffs. After the morning team training, the coaching staff arranged for the players to watch the game in the private room reserved for this game at [-] pm.

The Lakers are also happy to see the game between the strong team and the western quasi-strong team, but the development of the game is completely different from what the Lakers players originally expected. Of course, Liu Ren, who has long been mentally prepared, is an exception.

"How is it possible?" Nick Young looked at the situation on the field and lost his voice.

"The Clippers are so good? What is that big man doing? It's fine if he didn't score a point in three quarters, and he didn't even grab a single rebound?" Whiteside's eyes widened when he saw the statistics on the big screen. Yes, he exhausted all his strength when he dealt with Hibbert a month ago.

"Is this still the same David West? 12 of 3?" Gasol, who was shot by David West in the last match and gave up defense, said incredulously.

"Isn't George Hill the most stable point guard in the Eastern Conference? 6 turnovers? Even Liu Fang isn't that miserable, is he? Chris finally showed his power?" Even Kobe was surprised.

"The Pacers' deep bench lineup is such a virtue? What is Scola doing? Can you shoot open shots?" Green, who is almost healed from his injury and can return to the arena to start some non-confrontational rehabilitation training, said in surprise.

Everyone on the Lakers, including the coaching staff, found it incredible and inexplicable. The Clippers played really well, leading the Pacers by 92 points faster than 55 in three quarters!

Or to put it another way, the Pacers played too badly, and it felt like they were worse than the Bucks or the Jazz.

"Is this still the team with 42 wins and 7 losses?" A question mark appeared in the minds of everyone in the Lakers.

Only Liu Ren had expected it a long time ago. Although the Pacers brutally won four consecutive victories after losing to the Lakers, and raised their record to a historical level of 42 wins and 7 losses before the All-Star Weekend, their stock has never been better since the beginning of the season. The state of holding back for more than three months finally vented during the All-Star break!

"Poor PG24, I mourn for you from the bottom of my heart." Liu Ren looked at the Paul George who was still unwilling to give up on the court, and seemed to see the guy in his previous life who could not win even if he tried his best in the second half of the 13-14 season him with the ball.

But what makes the Lakers feel a little afraid is the state of the Clippers. It's one thing for the Pacers to play badly, but the Clippers really play well!

The last time the Lakers were able to beat the Pacers, they caught the opponent by surprise with tactics they had never seen before, and the Pacers' offensive feel and state are so good that the Lakers have nothing to do with the Pacers' offense. It is only by the ultra-fast offensive rhythm that the opponent does not adapt to win the ball.

The Clippers have a feeling of pressing the Pacers on the ground and rubbing them both offensively and defensively, which makes the Lakers feel incredible.

Rivers has been running in for most of the regular season, and the Clippers seem to finally have the feeling of the Celtics!
Rivers regards Griffin as the offensive version of Pierce and Garnett, and Jordan as the defensive version of Garnett and Perkins. The practice of forcibly changing raw materials according to the recipe has achieved results.

The Clippers made their first big news after the All-Star break, beating the Pacers by 129 points 84-45.

The entire basketball circle shook!
