super small forward

Chapter 420. Chapter 420.

"It's too much like what those guys would do." When Curry first heard Randle tell him that the Lakers beat the Pacers by more than 70 points, he didn't believe it at first.

There are very few teams that would do such an excessive thing, just like what the fans said, what a big hatred.

This NBA is so big, there are about 500 people, you can’t look up and you can’t see down, maybe one day a certain player of the opponent will become your teammate, if there is such a thing as winning the opponent by [-] or [-] points, it would be so embarrassing, Maybe it will hinder the team's signings. After all, some stars of that super weak team are likely to become teammates.

So usually after winning a lot, the main players will be replaced, and there will be no such brutal massacres. Last season, the Lakers won by 50 points and stopped and replaced them with pure substitutes.

But Curry thought about it carefully, this kind of thing is really something the Lakers can do!
Liu Ren and Kobe were narrow-minded people, and Curry couldn't be more clear about this after getting acquainted with them.

However, after reading the detailed report, Curry was still taken aback. The Lakers had already switched to a pure substitute lineup in the second half. They still played against the Pacers when two rookies Clarkson and LaVine led the team in the backcourt. Curry feels even more terrifying about the depth of the Lakers' lineup.

Thompson, who was wearing a Buddha's head, asked Curry: "Stephen, what do you think of the Lakers game?"

"Hmm..." Curry thought for a while and said, "I thought we would be able to surpass them after we improved, but it seems that they have improved a lot, especially the two brats we met when we went to the boss's house in the summer. Maybe it will make up for the weakness of the Lakers point guard. If we meet them in the playoffs, our chances of winning are not as high as we thought before.”

"Those two brats? Is it LaVine? He is indeed talented, and his physical fitness is much stronger than you and me. It is estimated that only Julius has his physical talent." Thompson asked.

Thompson felt that it was not unreasonable for Curry to say that it was LaVine. LaVine wore the No. 8 jersey in his rookie season. It is conceivable what this jersey means to the Lakers.

Curry shook his head, he thought of the Lakers player wearing the No. 6 jersey, and said: "No, I'm talking about the kid named Clarkson. I didn't see that he would improve so fast. LaVine wants to make up for the Lakers. The team’s lack of point guards will take a long time, but I think Clarkson’s improvement will soon make up for the lack of offensive power of the Lakers’ point guards, and his defense is not bad. I think our overall strength will go further in the future , and it is very difficult to win against them.”

Thompson frowned after hearing Curry's words and said, "No chance of winning?"

"No," Curry laughed. "Half and half."

"Haha, let's fight!"

……

……

Compared with the Warriors' self-confidence after they have successfully run in and become stronger and stronger than the Lakers, the Wizards' two backcourts are full of worries.

"Bradley, swaggy-p just called and asked us to wash our necks when we go to Los Angeles." Wall smiled wryly.

"Hmph, then we'll overthrow them and make them dare to look down on us." Bill snorted coldly.

Wall's wry smile deepened: "Did they take it seriously and we won?"

Bill was at a loss for words. This is really an unsolvable problem. The last time he was able to beat the Lakers was because the Lakers treated them as a weak team, and then they got upset.

But this time the situation is a little different. The Lakers brutally abused the Pacers, obviously retaliating.

Although the Wizards are much stronger than the Pacers, they are only a mid-range team. Compared with the Cavaliers, Knicks, Warriors, and Rockets, there is still a big gap compared with the hard steel teams of the Lakers.

It can be seen from the record that the top four in the Eastern Conference are the Eagles, Knicks, Cavaliers, and Raptors. The Wizards once ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

Although there is no problem for the Wizards to sit firmly in the fifth place in the Eastern Conference, it is because the teams behind are too bad. It does not mean that the Wizards have the same strength as the top four to sit firmly in the top five!

For the Lakers, except for the top four in the Eastern Conference, the other Eastern Conference teams are all the same to them, and there is no difference.

As the saying goes, winning is a moment of pleasure, and it is talking about Wall's mood now. When they won the Lakers, they were so excited to celebrate with champagne. That was the end of the Lakers' 19-game winning streak.

Now that Wall thinks about it, the Lakers probably hate them the most, maybe even more than they hate the Pacers!

……

……

The Wizards and Warriors each had their own reactions, and the rest of the league reacted differently.

Some strong teams that still have to play against the Lakers several times have already begun to consider whether they should play hard against the Lakers in the regular season. As for the Lakers, who are not stingy with coaches and this group of narrow-minded players, they may lose their blood because of the loss. In the end, this is not a good thing for the team.

But this has little to do with the Lakers themselves. They don't have time to relive the crazy slaughter, and back-to-backs will come soon.

On January 1, the Lakers ushered back to back the Trail Blazers who had arrived in Los Angeles yesterday and were waiting for the game.

The Blazers are obviously preparing for this game with a mentality of waiting for work. They expect the Pacers who beat the Lakers to cause some trouble for the Lakers. I feel that the Pacers can cause some physical losses to the Lakers.

I didn't expect the Pacers to play so sloppily. The Lakers had replaced all the main players before halftime, and finally let Clarkson, a rookie, show his face.

Clarkson scored 15 points on 11-of-27 shooting in three quarters after taking a rotation in the second quarter, becoming the Lakers rookie with the most points in a single game since James Worthy.

Compared with LaVine and Kobe who sold their talents in their rookie years, Clarkson's continuous improvement is obvious to all. In terms of scoring, some fans and experts even said that in terms of scoring, Kobe is the best in the backcourt of the Lakers, followed by Clarkson. Sen, whose speed calls to mind the lone Iron Man in Oklahoma.

The Blazers players originally thought that the Pacers would have a way to deal with the Lakers, just like the last time they sniped the Lakers, so they all watched the game in the hotel and wanted to learn how to deal with the Lakers.

Unexpectedly, what I saw was a brutal massacre, and by the way, I saw that the players of the Lakers from the starting to the end of the drinking fountain are so tough.

After the Trail Blazers players entered the Staples Center, they saw the confident players of the Lakers, and all they could see in their minds were the images of the Lakers slaughtering the Pacers, and an idea popped up in their hearts unconsciously...

Can this game be played?
