Chapter 45 Rookie Ranking

Gasol's mentality is not good, and his performance is naturally poor.

As soon as the ball is in the hand, it is thrown out like a hot potato.

It was rare for him to play alone, and he would feel flustered when he saw Ye Heping approaching nearby. He was really psychologically shadowed by Ye Heping.

In the middle of the second quarter, the Lakers have turned defeat into victory.

Coach Hubie also took the opportunity to replace Gasol. At this moment, he doesn't care about winning anymore. Gasol's mentality is the most important thing.

For Gasol, he can give up a game, or even many games.

That's the great thing about Hubie Brown.

Because of this incident, after the game, Tang Shuai went to Coach Hubie to bow to him.

Hubie's honor in the coaching position is not as good as Tang Shuai, but his personality charm is worth learning from any coach.

He has visited countless schools to promote basketball among children, and also taught the school's basketball coaches to improve his professional knowledge of basketball.

His meritorious service is a monument in the basketball career.

In the following games, Coach Hubie asked his chief assistant to direct, while he talked with Gasol.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, Gasol played again, and the Lakers have already led by 12 points at this moment.

Gasol's whole person changed into a different state. He was extremely confident, shot inside and out, and his dreamy footsteps were like dexterous elves. He led the Grizzlies to chase points crazily, and once narrowed the point difference to 2 points.

It seems that Hubie's psychological counseling is very effective.

But at the last moment, Kobe stood up, and two unreasonable fadeaway jumpers directly killed the game.

89:83, the Lakers won, and the regular season record reached 5 wins and 1 loss.

此役，科比28分7篮板4助攻，奥多姆16分6篮板，迪瓦茨10分5篮板5助攻，梅德维登科10分3篮板，叶和平8分4篮板2助攻2抢断5盖帽……

灰熊这边，加索尔25分9篮板5助攻，米勒16分6篮板，巴蒂尔13分5篮板，白巧克力10分6助攻……

截至目前，湖人以5胜1负的战绩名列全联盟第一，压住了4胜1负的小牛、步行者、太阳、超音速、猛龙和爵士，也超过了4胜0负的热火。

This is something no one thought of.

Even last season, the Lakers had F4, and their record did not reach the league's first.

Entering the reconstruction this season, it became the number one, which is really unbelievable.

Even if you want to pick bones from eggs, you won't be able to pick them.

You must know that the Lakers' opponents are not weak. The Spurs, Jazz, Grizzlies, and Nuggets are all strong teams in the Western Conference playoffs.

That night, the national basketball media blew up Kobe Bryant, and the whole league was blowing about Kobe.

"O'Neal stole three FMVPs from Kobe!"

"Kobe is the core of the Lakers dynasty."

"It's cool to win, and it's embarrassing to miss someone. I don't know how O'Neal feels now."

"Shut up upstairs, O'Neal's Heat team is 4 wins and 0 losses, but the winning percentage is 100%."

"Fart, O'Neill just hugged Wade's thigh."

"..."

At the same time, a list of ESPN has also been released, which belongs to the ranking list of the 04 rookies.

No.1：罗尔·邓，场均20.3分7.3篮板2助攻1盖帽。

No.2：奥卡福，场均13分12.3篮板1.3助攻1盖帽。

No.3，霍华德，场均8.2分10.6篮板1.8助攻1.8盖帽。

No.4：叶和平，场均7.2分5篮板1.4助攻1.6抢断3.4盖帽。

No.5：伊戈达拉，场均10.2分5.8篮板2.2助攻1.6抢断1盖帽。

……

The other four are fine, after all, they are all high-ranking rookies, but who is Ye Heping, an undrafted player, is almost equal to being undrafted.

湖人队只花20万美金的底薪就签到了一位7+5+1+1+3的全能新秀，而且他的表现不仅仅是数据能够体现的，他的协防、补防是湖人队的重要一环。

"Kupchak and Tang Shuai really found a treasure this time. The key point is that Ye Heping is only 18 years old and has unlimited potential."

"If you compare Kobe to Jordan, Ye Heping is Pippen!"

"After a while, Ye Heping's defense is good, but the difference between him and Pippen in offense is a hundred Rodman."

"But he is young and has a high upper limit!"

"The upper limit? Don't forget that Ye Heping is an Asian. I don't like his talent. Asians are only good at big men. A half-assed guy like Ye Heping is very embarrassing. He is too short to play inside and too tall to play outside."

……

In short, Ye Heping also became famous, and was pushed to the forefront together with Kobe.

Accompanying Kobe and Ye Heping was a third person, Tang Shuai.

"Tang Shuai is amazing. This lineup can achieve such a good record. He deserves to be a champion coach."

"Hehe, I now seriously doubt that Zen master Phil Jackson is a parallel importer. He lost in F4 last year. If he were replaced by Tang Shuai, he would definitely secure the championship."

"Who do you look down on upstairs? Zen Master has nine championship rings, how about a god-like head coach?"

"Fart, the first 6 depend on Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman. The last 3 depend on Kobe and O'Neal. With such a lineup, the coach position can win the championship even with a dog on a leash."

"Although I'm a fan of the Zen Master, there's nothing wrong with what the upstairs said."

"That's what shows Tang Shuai's strength. The Lakers became a mess, Zen Master ran away, but Tang Shuai bravely took over and played such a good record."

……

On November 11, the Lakers challenged the Magic away, the fourth game of the five-game streak.

After two days of rest, the entire Lakers team is in good condition, and their physical strength has almost recovered to the limit.

So the Lakers were very confident to win this game before the game.

But the result was that the Lakers lost 113:122.

科比狂砍41分7篮板8助攻2抢断，阿特金斯21分，奥多姆16分8篮板、巴特勒15分、格兰特13分……

5 players scored in double figures, Kobe also scored 41 points, the Lakers actually lost, this is simply unimaginable.

But looking at the Magic's lineup, there are not so many impossibles.

Center: Howard, 5 points and 16 rebounds.

Power forward: Tony Barty, 3 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Small forward: Grant Hill, 27 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals.

Shooting guard: Stacey Augmon, 1 point.

Point guard: Steve Francis, 32 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists.

除此之外，特科格鲁23分3篮板5助攻，帕特·加里蒂21分5篮板3助攻，贾米尔·尼尔森6分，德肖恩·史蒂文森4分……

Howard is the man who will replace James alone in the future, Grant Hill is Jordan's successor, Ferguson is the No. 1 All-Star starter, Turkoglu has the strength of the second leader, Stevenson is a famous 3D, Jameer Nelson is an All-Star guard, and there is a quasi-All-Star shooting guard "Old Cat" Mobley sitting on the court...

The strength of this magic team can be called a dream, of course, the premise is that they can stay healthy.

Today, they are very healthy, so even if the Lakers played a very good performance, they still lost.

Of course, the Lakers' bench problem was exposed again. Grant had 13 points and 4 rebounds, Ye Heping had 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 6 fouls. Besides, no one scored from the bench.

Magic, Turkoglu 23 points, Garrity 21 points, Nelson 6 points, Stevenson 4 points.

19:54, what will the Lakers use to win?
In addition, Ye Heping was also taught a lesson by Grant Hill.

The guy who can beat the four shooting guards in this healthy period told Ye Heping what a real super giant is.

Anthony and James, whom Ye Heping faced before, are also very good, but they are just young sophomores.

Even Paul Pierce in his prime can only look up to Grant Hill in his healthy years.

It took only 15 minutes for Hill to let Ye Heping leave with 6 fouls.

This is Ye Heping's worst game since the regular season.
