Chapter 426

People in Portland seem to see that the Blazers are about to beat the Lakers!

When the Lakers' weaknesses were revealed, fans of many teams went into high spirits, thinking they had finally found a way to beat the Lakers.

However, when the game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers started, people found that it seemed to be no different from the last match between the two teams.

The Lakers are still playing steadily and playing zone defense. The Blazers still rely on the hard steel of Lillard and Aldridge. The two teams are still at a stalemate in the starting stage. Aldridge and Lillard played to chase points, and in the end the Lakers still won the game 115 to 102 without bloodshed.

Fans on the Internet expressed their incomprehension.

"Didn't you already know that the Lakers' weakness is to defend against three-pointers? Why don't the Blazers arrange more shooters? Take more shots from outside the three-point line?"

"Is the Blazers coach an idiot? Or does he never read the news?"

"..."

"..."

Words like this are the first to come out on the Internet.

But soon someone came out with an answer.

"It's not that the Trail Blazers coach is stupid. Do you think that professional coaches in the NBA can't see the defensive loopholes that even the so-called experts can see? They have actually seen it long ago, but what's the use of seeing it? You Can you have as many top shooters as the Warriors? Can you just hit the Lakers with the touch of the Grizzlies? And even if you make so many shots, can you have a way to prevent the Lakers' offense? No one sees them Defensive flaws, but even if they know it, not all teams have the means to deal with it. The Lakers' lineup is too incomprehensible. I think only the Warriors' lineup can pose a threat to them. For the Lakers, apart from worrying about young players With the contract up, I don't think they have anything to worry about for the next two years."

……

……

In the office of the head coach of the Lakers at the Toyota Center in Los Angeles, two more old men worked overtime.

"Bernie, have you found a way to deal with the Warriors? I doubt they will be the best team besides us."

"There's no need to doubt, look, their statistics, except for inside scoring and defensive efficiency, are no worse than ours in other aspects!"

"So when we deal with them, we can only use better defense? The loopholes in our defense cannot be exploited by other teams. For the Warriors, it is the best breakthrough point."

"Maybe, I think maybe I have found a way to deal with them, but the next game is early, so let's continue like this, now is the best mode for us to win."

"Bernie, you think the same as I do..."

Except for Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, Whiteside, Green, and McCollum who haven't played for a few seasons, the Lakers don't know much about NBA tactics. LaVine and Clarkson When the two are still fighting for their playing time, it's not their turn to take care of this kind of thing.

The NBA does not mean that you can win against your opponent if you see the weakness of your opponent.

When a team is winning all the time, even if one or two opponents take advantage of their weaknesses to beat them in the regular season, it still doesn’t mean anything, because they are always winning, so there is no need to care about one or two games Regular season?

It doesn’t mean that knowing the opponent’s weakness means knowing how to beat the opponent. For example, everyone knows that during the Heat period, James’ COSCO shot was completely lost because he played power forward or even carried the center forward. He didn’t even get free throws. 60.00%.

But apart from the Spurs, Lakers, and Grizzlies, which team can stop James from breaking into the paint?
The year the Thunder made it to the finals, and the year Rose won the MVP, everyone knew that Westbrook and Rose had better physical fitness than him, but who could guard against them except James?
When the Spurs were invincible in the first two years, their weaknesses became more obvious. They lacked singles ability, but which team can cut off their team connection?

Bickerstaff and D'Antoni believe that the current style of play is enough to win. As for being restrained by the Warriors, how many times can they play against the Warriors in a season?In the remaining half of the season, there is only one match left in the regular season. As for the playoffs, it is still far away. The playoffs are not only against the Warriors, but also against each team.

……

……

Kobe's house has another visitor.

In the past two years, Kobe loves entertaining guests very much. Liu Ren guessed that Kobe may have begun to feel nostalgic for the NBA.

The sense of nostalgia does not mean that you like the NBA. If you like working here, you will have a sense of nostalgia. The sense of nostalgia will only arise when you like something very much and are about to leave it.

Kobe hosted Wade at another property in Beverly Hills, and the only teammates invited were Ren Liu, Gasol, Nash and Thackeray.

The emphasis is much higher than when Paul George was entertained, only All-Stars can go.

"Kobe, I didn't know that you bought two villas in Beverly Hills. People in capitalist countries are so corrupt?" Liu Ren said sourly.

Not to mention Kobe's house is bigger than Liu Ren's house, this "other courtyard" is bigger than his house, and Liu Ren's house is not as big as this "other courtyard" including the indoor arena and yard.

"Vanessa and Nana thought the helicopter was too noisy, so they bought this place. When I go to the Staples Center, I usually take a helicopter." Kobe looked like a rich man, and he saw Liu Ren Envy, jealousy and hatred, he deliberately exaggerated.

"This guy did it on purpose!" Liu Ren would believe Kobe's words. It's obvious that Kobe's house doesn't have a flat roof, and the yard is full of flowers and plants, as well as children's skateboards. I can't find a place to put them. , and the house is not new...

It still seems to be very enviable!The highest salary in the league for many years is different...

Even Wade could see Liu Ren's envy, shook his head and didn't know what to say, he could only say: "Boss, don't be envious, you will have these things in the future."

Liu Ren gave Wade a white look. Although Wade's ability to absorb money is not as good as Kobe James, he is also the top in the league. Last year, he signed a 5-year endorsement contract with Li Ning with a total amount of [-] million. The previous ten-year contract with Air Jordan was almost [-] million. Income, not counting other endorsements.

Easier said than done!
"This guy is clearly showing off his plane, but there are people over there who are more envious than me." Liu Ren pointed to Thackeray with a miserable face.

Liu Ren is envious of envy, if he says a word, the chick will not let him lose face, such a villa will be bought directly, but the chick is a person who makes a lot of promises, and Liu Ren also has to make promises, personal finances and company finances To separate, Liu Ren's current endorsement fee will be invested in the company's construction, and he will have to wait until the next big contract is signed if he wants to buy it.

And Thackeray is more sad. He is probably the poorest All-Star starter. His endorsement with Nike is only 3 million in 600 years, and his salary is 115 million. A house in a high-end villa area is still far away...

Today Kobe entertained Wade, and tomorrow the Lakers will have a game against the Heat at home.

Unlike last season when the Lakers played against the Heat and all major TV stations broadcast live broadcasts throughout the United States, this time the two teams played against each other, only Time Warner and the domestic TV station broadcast the game.

The so-called cold tea, once James left, the attention of the Heat returned to before, even worse, Wade is not the original Wade, not the one who can lead the team to the playoffs by himself .

The chef of Bryant's family was specially invited from the Will Real Hotel in Beverly Hills and made a sumptuous lunch.

The meal is still very pleasant. Kobe, Nash, Gasol, and Wade are all veterans who have played in the NBA for more than ten years. They can be seen every season. California is also a big tourist state. There are also a lot of times in Los Angeles, and I occasionally make appointments.

"Kobe, thank you for your hospitality. It is the first time in my memory that you invited me to dinner. You rarely showed up when I asked you out before. It's really strange. It's really the same as what the boss said. Are you showing off your helicopter?" Wei Wei De joked.

Kobe smiled and said: "Haha, I don't know why, after staying with this guy for a long time, I think it's good to have more parties. By the way, why didn't Chris come?"

yes!Liu Ren was also very curious. Bosh should also be eligible to participate in this dinner party. After all, Thackeray, an all-star who can't be more watery, has come.

"Chris encountered a very strange injury and has not played for several games." Wade said helplessly.

Originally, the Heat still had hope of the playoffs this season, but Bosh, who had just signed a big contract, came to a truce from time to time, and he alone was unable to support the team.

Originally, the Heat would get Whiteside this year, but the Lakers have already given them the upper hand. They didn't even know that the big man who made the whole league jealous originally belonged to them.

No one can understand why the Lakers can find young players such as Clarkson, McCollum, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside as the core of the future from the players that no one wants. They can only lament that God prefers Los Angeles.

Liu Ren sighed in his heart when he heard Wade's words. Bosh really suffered from a blood disease. Although he didn't know Bosh well, he still sympathized with Bosh's experience. No one wants people in the same alliance Suffering from that incurable disease.

Gasol also expressed his regret. He was looking forward to playing against Bosh, an old opponent, but it seems that this time he has no chance.

Wade had a few drinks and was a little drunk, and said, "Kobe, Steve, Paul, I really envy the three of you, you always have such great teammates."

After hearing this, Kobe joked: "Los Angeles is a good place, how about it, do you want to come to Los Angeles? It's the same as in the BJ Olympics, you will play me as a substitute."

"Haha, yes, but let's talk about it after you retire..."
