super small forward

Chapter 221 221. Five consecutive victories

The Lakers reversed the Knicks, very good and very strong. The fans didn't think it was a big surprise, because the Lakers beat the Knicks is a very normal thing. The Lakers lost is the news. The reversal is originally a strong team. Things to do afterwards.

Only the Lakers' own players know how much the Knicks have surprised them. This team seems to have undergone qualitative changes from the inside out.

The second day after the Knicks game, the Lakers welcomed the Phoenix Suns back to back at home. The last time the Lakers challenged the Suns away, the owner's daughter did not come. Liu Ren felt a little regretful, and was very upset with the Suns.

That's right, Liu Ren was deliberately looking for the Suns to make him unhappy, and then cheered up and went crazy from the beginning.

For such a weird reason, Gerald Green, who was defending him, was about to cry by him.

I just played an all-out game with the Knicks. The Lakers are in that kind of excitement. The Suns' offensive and defensive enthusiasm is much worse than the Knicks in the last game. They are still in that kind of tension. The Lakers have no power to fight back.

In this game, Kobe, Gasol, and Nash all rested, which means that the Lakers' defensive black holes are all gone, and the rest are young, strong and hard-working defensive guys, who defended the Suns to only 89 points.

On the offensive end, none of the Suns could limit Liu Ren. Liu Ren blossomed inside and outside. He played 35 minutes and scored 26 points on 18-of-45 shots.

With 52 wins and 18 losses, the Lakers continue to sit firmly in second place in the Western Conference.

Recently, the ranking competition in the Western Conference has become more and more intense. The Clippers are not counting their own deaths, and other teams are fighting for the playoff rankings.

Durant continued to maintain a super scoring ability averaging 32 points per game. He led the team alone to compete with the Rockets of Harden and Howard for the third place in the Western Conference. The competition between the two teams has entered a fierce battle. The losing streak of the Clippers tied for third in the Western Conference. The Clippers fell to fifth in the Western Conference with 49 wins and 7 losses. It seems that there is still a tendency to continue to fall.

The players of the Clippers were really bad luck. The league issued a further notice to deprive Clippers owner Sterling of all NBA-related powers, and issued a notice ordering Sterling to sell the team.

In other words, the league is preparing to expel Sterling from the NBA.

The Clippers' recent attendance rate is too low. Since the second game after the incident, the attendance rate has been less than 70%, which can be compared with the darkest period of the NBA in the [-]s.

But there are still human rights in the United States. Sterling arrogantly announced that he was not wrong, but just wanted to express his wishes, refused to sell the team, and moved the bedroom to his office in the Staples Center where he has an equity stake.

After the news that the league had expelled Sterling from the NBA was announced, all the fans and people who opposed racial discrimination applauded, but Sterling refused to cooperate and even lived in the NBA arena. The commotion grew bigger and bigger, and even the President of the United States, Mabao, was alarmed. The White House had to issue a condemnation of Sterling. Originally, the White House did not want to be involved in this kind of matter. After all, Mr. President is also black, but he is The president represents the entire United States, and he is not good at expressing his views.But now in order to appease the anger of the fans, he had to come forward.

The NBA has developed to the present, and it is no longer as simple as a sports league. The various benefits that each NBA team brings to its city are no longer as simple as selling tickets and live broadcasts.

From peripheral commodities, to industrial manufacturing, to import and export trade, tourism income, etc., the benefits brought by the NBA to the United States are a huge industrial chain.

Not to mention that the NBA has allowed many black guys who are doing nothing but are physically strong and may commit crimes in the future to have a channel to embark on the American dream, which is where the United States dare not be careless.

The most unlucky ones are the Clippers players. After more than ten days, their anger has subsided a lot. The league also said that this team will definitely change owners, and they also want to play well.

But Sterling moved directly to the arena and refused to sell the team. He is the legal representative of the team, and it is impossible to sell without his consent. If the league wants to forcibly expel him, he will not Selling, there is only one way to disqualify the Clippers, which is to remove the Clippers from the NBA.

Obviously, this is impossible. After the Clippers have the trio of Paul, Griffin, and Jordan, their market value has continued to rise, and it has exceeded 15 billion US dollars, ranking fifth in the league, only higher than the Knicks, Lakers, Bulls, The Warriors are low, and the Clippers have a large group of powerful players in their contracts. Even if the league is determined to abandon this team, it will not dare to abandon the players. After all, players are the foundation of the NBA.

So this matter can only be dragged on to figure out a solution. The Clippers players who were about to cheer up with great difficulty lost their fighting spirit again and continued to sink.

The Lakers don't care about this at all. They still condemn Sterling, but they don't care about the little brother of the Clippers at all.

The Lakers, who won five consecutive victories, flew to Milwaukee non-stop after playing against the Suns for back-to-back ultra-long-distance away games.

The Bucks are in a very bad situation this year, and the second-to-last in the Eastern Conference is getting more and more stable. If it weren't for the 76ers who are too strong, they have only won 12 games and sit at the bottom of the list. They will look even worse.

One advantage of a small city is that the fans are very loyal. Even if the team's record is 15 wins and 56 losses, the Bucks fans will never leave. A sad defeat.

The most sad thing for Bucks fans is not how many goals they lost. After all, the goal of the Bucks this year is very clear, which is to go for the No. [-] pick. The more they lose, the closer they are to Wiggins.What makes them sad is that the team has no eyesight and sent Antetokounmpo to the Lakers!A young man bursting with talent just gave it away!
The Lakers played against the Bucks with ease and no pressure. A bad team has a characteristic, that is, the more they get to the end of the season, the less fighting spirit they have, and the more they want to hurry up to the off-season, the more times they lose in a row at the end of the season.

Now it’s the stage where everyone in the Bucks has given up. All the Bucks players have no desire to win, and those who want to win a contract are swiping data, sleepwalking sleepwalking.

However, the Lakers felt a very strange atmosphere at the Bucks home court, which had nothing to do with the game. This feeling came from the home fans. They felt a deep resentment, especially Antetokounmpo. He seemed to feel it from the eyes of the fans. Feeling a sense of resentment...
