NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 65 Zijin Lakers
On December 12th, Li Zhi's holiday ended.

In the end, the Warriors challenged the Lakers away and are currently ranked fourth in the Western Conference. They are a strong team in the Western Conference.

All the Warriors were very excited, because Li Zhi came back in this game. In the days without Li Zhi, they missed Li Zhi very much.

Last season's "Black Eight" ended, and many teams were studying the Warriors. The old Nelson's 7-man rotation last season has been thoroughly studied by other teams, and they won the victory by keeping Baron Davis in check.

Compared with the poor record of the Warriors, the Lakers rank high, but Kobe couldn't be happier.

Last season, he was kicked out by his old rival Suns in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. This season Kobe made a comeback, but his record was flat.

In the MVP rankings given by ESPN, Kobe ranked first, but many experts and fans agree that Kobe's strength has not reached the MVP level, and his teammates are not as CBA as everyone thinks.

Kobe has put pressure on the Lakers management to trade for an All-Star-level helper, or trade himself.

Kobe once again took out this trump card to threaten the management. Lakers manager Mitch Kupchak could only rack his brains to operate, hoping to bring Kobe a helper after the All-Star break.

The Lakers' signing target is rumored to be Paul Gasol of the Grizzlies.

……

Before the game, the media still paid close attention to the Lakers. Who made a guy named Kobe Bryant here, who is now No.1 in the league.

Compared with the excitement of the Lakers before the game, the Warriors are undoubtedly much deserted.

The media is generally not optimistic about the 8-game losing streak of the Warriors. Before the game, it was predicted that the Lakers would easily win at Staples.

There are also more Black Warriors. Many people on the Internet believe that without Harrington, the Warriors' internal strength is even weaker. Many teams have seized this weakness of the Warriors.

Some people even thought that during this period of time, the black coach Nelson believed that his tactics were the main reason for the Warriors' losing streak.

Before the start of the game, Li Zhidu got the data sheets of the Lakers players.The scouts of the Warriors are very dedicated, and the performance of each player on the other side every season, and the methods they are used to using are clearly written.

Li Zhi started this game as a small forward, facing Lamar Odom.

Lamar Odom was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the fourth pick in the first round of the 1999 NBA draft.

In the 2004-05 season, the Lakers failed to complete the contract extension with Shaquille O'Neal. Parker Riley saw the needle and used Odom, Butler and Grant as trading chips to successfully extradite the Sharks. Odom returned to Los Angeles wearing a purple and gold jersey.

However, in Odom's first year with the Lakers, the team suffered constant injuries from the coach to the players, which prevented the Lakers from entering the playoffs.

However, in the following two seasons, Odom completed a counterattack. In the 2005-06 season, Odom represented the Lakers in 80 games. He averaged 14.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. Odom also became the only all-around player in the league with 14+ points, 9+ rebounds and 5+ assists.

This season, Odom became Kobe's most reliable teammate. Although Kobe's poor record in the playoffs for several consecutive seasons made Kobe impatient and he also asked to be traded by the team, but the existence of Odom still gave Kobe a glimmer of hope.

Able to control the ball, able to top four, fast-paced and even top five, regularly stand near the three-point line, and can play fast breaks, Odom is very much like James Trumpet.

There is still a lot of pressure against Odom and Lee. The organizational small forward is not easy to deal with. The Lakers have a lot of outside shooters, and Odom can send assists if he is not careful.

The Lakers' power forward position is Luke Walton. This is a good blue-collar player. Although his body is not outstanding and his shooting has always been criticized, he has a very high basketball IQ and can always keep calm on the court.

The current Walton is not yet the head coach of the future Lakers, and he is a little immature.

At the center position is "Little Shark" Bynum. He has excellent physical fitness, can grab rebounds, and is good at blocking shots.

The young and energetic Bynum once challenged O'Neal, although this guy is as bad at free throws as O'Neal.

The media ridiculed that O'Neill and Bynum must have started a free throw battle back then.

On the back line, the Lakers point guard is "Little Fish" Fisher.

"He is a shooter and a guy who can make offensive fouls on the defensive end to regain the ball. He is very good at stealing, and his defense is very tough. He is Kobe's trust when he is double-teamed. He can score key goals at critical moments." This is the evaluation of Fisher by Warriors scouts, which is not bad.

In the end, the finale was played by the leader of the Lakers, NBA No.1, Kobe Bryant.

This year, ESPN's sports reporters voted for the greatest shooting guard of all time, and Bryant ranked second only to Jordan.

The closest person to God?

Li Zhi thought of this, and his heart was full of fighting spirit.

The game will be broadcast live across the United States.

Barkley and Kenny Smith also came to the scene. Before the game, they analyzed: "The Lakers have won 8 consecutive victories, and the Warriors have lost 8 consecutive games. I think the Lakers will win this game."

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "I don't think so. Although the Warriors have lost 8 games in a row, you can see that they are still fighting high. They don't look like a team that has not won 8 games in a row. Compared to this game, I would like to see George Lee, who has returned from injury. You know, in the Warriors' 8-game losing streak, Lee Zhi didn't play a single game."

The live camera was shown to Li Zhi, and Li Zhi who was shooting a basketball smiled slightly at the camera.

After activating the attributes of Super Saiyan, Li Zhi is now feeling hot, and has scored more than a dozen three-pointers in a row.

After reading the starting materials of the two teams, Kenny Smith smiled and said: "The Warriors and the Lakers are really similar. The outside core and the power forward position are poor."

Barkley nodded and said, "It's quite similar. From the previous games, we can see that Li Zhi has already played a point forward under the arrangement of Nelson, and his performance is not bad. However, I am still optimistic about Odom. He has already won two triple-doubles this season."

Kenny Smith shook his head and changed the subject: "The power forwards of the Warriors and the Lakers are Luke Walton and Matt Barnes. Both of them have no offensive power. It seems that this is an outside contest."

Barkley laughed and said: "There is no more chance than the perimeter warriors. Look at the No. 1 Kobe Bryant in the league. I don't think Monta Ellis can stop Kobe from scoring, and Fisher will definitely guard Baron Davis."

Barkley's words seem to have some truth. Baron Davis is absolutely painful facing a defensively tough defender like Derek Fisher.

"Don't take advantage of your mouth, let's watch the game." Kenny Smith said speechlessly.

Barkley laughed arrogantly: "Watching the game is watching the game, but the Warriors can't win the game."

Kenny Smith wisely ignored Barkley and concentrated on analyzing the game.
