Chapter 280 280. Preseason Attack

Do you need to take legal responsibility to make a ranking list according to your mood?Of course not.

So ESPN makes some gimmicks every year, and even Sports Illustrated, the most authoritative media on the list, got Anthony Davis to sixth.

The reason is very simple, not only does not have to bear legal responsibility, but also provokes confrontation among players.

What is the player's first reaction when they see the list?It must be: Whoa, this guy is in front of me?
Although the players also know that it is the problem of the ranking people, but the players will unconsciously want to prove themselves by defeating those who are higher than themselves in the rankings, and then mock the media who made the list.

Being ridiculed will not lose a piece of meat, but it will give these media the opportunity to publish news!

Creating more news with a list that actually doesn't matter is what ESPN and Sports Illustrated are really about!

It's just that with ESPN as a radical media, Sports Illustrated will portray itself as a "fair" image. Anyway, with ESPN rushing to the front, when the news comes out, not everyone is reporting it.

There are still many people who are angry because of the list, but they all want to prove themselves by defeating those who are ahead of them, as the media thinks.

This is what is called creating hostility.

On October 10, the Lakers ushered in their first preseason opponent, the Denver Nuggets.

After experiencing an unprecedentedly successful season in team history, the Nuggets unexpectedly went straight to the No. 57 pick. It can be said that it surprised many people last season. How could a team that had just won [-] wins get into the playoffs? Can't even touch it?

The Nuggets lineup last season was definitely better than the 12-13 season. Ty Lawson, the team's first point of possession, had the best data of his career, averaging 18 points, 9 assists and 3 rebounds per game. Only the statistics are worse than Paul's in rebounds. That's it, the team's overall data is also very good, with 7 scoring in double figures per game, 6 scoring more than 11 points per game, and Anthony Randolph, who has the lowest scoring average per game, also has 4.8 points, which is basically maintained. All soldiers in George Karl's time.

But it is precisely because of this that the Nuggets failed. Brian Shaw has been the Nuggets coach for a year. He is not good at this style of play at all, he can only learn the triangle offense from the Zen master.

But the Nuggets play the triangle offense?Even Liu Ren, a layman, didn't like them in his previous life.

After a surprising season, Lakers fans can't wait to see the team's performance in the new season. A preseason game that they didn't care about before is now full of people early.

"Well...it's amazing, it's the first time I've seen our home court full of people in a preseason game!" Thackeray said in surprise.

"Oh, is that so?" Liu Ren responded casually.

"Huh? What's the matter boss, what do you seem to be thinking these days? Why have you been out of your mind?" Thackeray asked puzzled.

"Hmph, what Robert said is right, the season is about to start, take it easy, not all opponents are as bad as those two rookie brats!" Kobe snorted coldly, and hit the opponent next to him LaVine and Clarkson who may have a chance to play in the preseason.

It's just a preseason game, so Kobe, Gasol, and Nash are all resting, and all other young players are on the active list.

The defense that has changed the most in the team system, these three are basically made up for by others, the little change on the offensive end is too simple for the three, and it is more important to run in young players in the preseason.

"Hey, Kobe, I have a question." Liu Ren said hesitantly.

Twitching like a different person, Kobe asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Liu Ren hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "How did you propose to Vanessa back then?"

"Marriage proposal? Hahahaha, are you finally going to propose to your Mary? You don't know how many times Mary has complained to Vanessa!" Kobe laughed.

"Bastard! Keep your voice down!" Liu Ren hurriedly called out.

But it was too late, the Lakers players rushed forward, surrounded Kobe and Liu Ren, and poor Thackeray was pushed aside.

"Boss asked for marriage? Wow, that's big news!" Henry said with a smirk.

"Hey, boss, you are about to enter the grave of love, how pitiful..." This is Nick Young.

"Nick, I will definitely tell Iggy this sentence." Liu Ren said angrily.

"NONONO, I didn't say anything."

"Hey, boss, when will you get married?"

"Where is the church? Let me tell you, the church of St. Mary's Church is very good..."

"..."

"..."

A group of people chattered non-stop.

Liu Ren was angry, Kobe should not have too much mouth!
"Hey! Old man, how did you propose to Vanessa in the first place?" Liu Ren thinks that this is more important. Kobe was the first to get married among this group of people.

"Me? It's very simple. I bought a clothing store that Vanessa likes, pretended to take her to buy clothes, and filled it with rose petals..." Kobe began to recall...

"This is too outdated! It's the way to propose in that era." Henry said with disdain.

"Stinky boy! How out of date! Every year on our wedding anniversary, Vanessa praises how romantic I was!" Kobe was annoyed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Liu Ren nodded, he felt that it was really outdated, people from the 70s were really unreliable.

"Xavier, what advice do you have?" Liu Ren thought it would be more reliable to ask Henry, the handsome guy in the team's 'social butterfly'.

"Since it's the boss's proposal, I have to think about it carefully. I can't embarrass you, can I?" Henry said proudly.

"That's right, the old-fashioned method like Kobe can be avoided." Liu Ren felt that using Kobe's method would definitely be embarrassing.

"Fuck! Liu, I want to fight you!" Kobe said angrily.

Liu Ren didn't care about Kobe, and pulled Henry aside to discuss.

A group of people were fighting, and they didn't pay attention to the Nuggets at all.

But this is also normal. The Lakers won all four games against the Nuggets last season, and they are not a team at all.

The fans are here today to watch the Lakers. Who cares about the Nuggets, their opponents, their attention has always been on the Lakers players.

When the fans saw that Kobe and Liu Ren seemed to be arguing, the teammates gathered around, and then they all talked around Liu Ren, leaving Kobe aside, the fans felt that the two really had a conflict!
but!Far from being anxious, Lakers fans seemed excited!

Lakers fans are watching this for fun, where in Los Angeles?What an entertainment city!
