lakers championship

Chapter 320 Two Questions
Barkley always startled everyone, but O'Neill and Kenny were already used to it and basically ignored it.

But this time, what Barkley said seemed to mean something.

Kenny spread his hands and asked, "Your so-called dynasty refers specifically to the kind that won the NBA championship for three consecutive years?".

Buckley's eyes were full of determination, and he nodded silently.

"Wow! I have to say this is a bold idea." O'Neal stared and shrugged, "Although I am closely related to the Lakers, throughout the history of the NBA, only the Bulls in the early 90s and the Lakers in the early [-]s accomplished this feat. , Even the Heat formed by LeBron, Wade, and Dr.

Indeed, after each championship, the difficulty of winning again has multiplied. "

Either lack of aggressiveness, such as the Mavericks in 11, Cuban may consider that he has already won the championship anyway, and it doesn't matter whether he can win it again.

Either limited by salary space, such as the Heat in the 13-14 season, in order to make room for salary, Mike Miller was laid off, resulting in a lack of substitute strength for the Heat, and LeBron was blown up by the Spurs as soon as he played.

Either there is an unexpected injury, such as the Warriors in 16 years, Curry played in the finals with an injury.

In short, countless factors prevent a team from completing three consecutive championships.

Barkley said with a smile: "The Lakers have all the conditions to build a dynasty. First of all, there are five young Lakers players on the field with a strong desire to win; second, the Lakers don't need to worry about salary space at all, because almost all the core players are rookies; the only possible limit They only have injuries, but Tianyang and Ingram played full time last season except for the rotation! And judging from this game, the Lakers' future lineup rotation will be very reasonable. Everyone's playing time is strictly limited. The chances are slim."

After listening to Kenny, he frowned and thought about it. He really couldn't find anything wrong. He turned to make assumptions based on the strength of the players, and compared them with Durant, Thompson, Curry, and Green, but he just came up with this idea. The above five Lakers players played another super cooperation, and Randall dunked the score.

Kenny could only shake his head, acquiescing that Barkley was right.

O'Neill held back for a while, and couldn't find anything to refute, but at the end, he seemed to suddenly think of a possibility, and said calmly: "These five people are all future superstars, and there may be conflicts."

There is some truth to such an assumption. After all, every player hopes that he can play better, but there is only one basketball game, and the game only lasts 48 minutes.

"Impossible!" Barkley waved his hand, "Although the five young players of the Lakers are very competitive, they also have the spirit of sacrifice. Last season we have seen Tianyang assist Cousins ​​lore and so on. Tatum With the character of Kuzma, it is impossible to compete for fame and fortune."

Now, O'Neill really had nothing to say, he could only nod, "Then let us wait and see!"

……

The three of them were chatting, because the Lakers led by a big score and the Clippers had no intention of fighting. The whole game was very fast-paced. In a blink of an eye, the game was over.

The Lakers beat the Clippers 118 to 91. Tianyang scored 18 points and 7 assists, failing to achieve a double-double.

In the past, his stats basically meant that the Lakers lost.

But now, more than half of the assisting tasks are assigned to Rondo, more than half of the scoring tasks are assigned to Kobe, Rose, and Carter, and the defensive tasks are greatly reduced.

Immediately after the game, TNT reporter Maggio stopped Tianyang and Rondo on the sidelines.

"Shaq, Kenny, Charles, the three of them, I must ask, how did the two of you communicate when you suddenly double-teamed Griffin for the first time? It's amazing, and if you make a mistake, you will miss someone."

Really did not expect this problem, Tianyang looked at Rondo, and Rondo also looked at Tianyang.

The two shrugged at the same time and said in unison: "Intuition."

Maggio is dumbfounded, the intuition is over?

Seeing this, Tianyang explained with a smile: "Because the Clippers allowed Kobe to score 8 points in a row, there was a high probability that Griffin would choose singles to regain momentum for the team. Otherwise, the probability of him passing the ball was very small. .”

Rondo continued: "So we took the extreme strategy and we succeeded."

After listening to the explanation of the two, in the TNT live broadcast room, O'Neill sighed: "Oh, that's how it is!" "

Kenny: "It doesn't sound too difficult, just practice a few times."

Barkley: "But where can I find two people who think the same? Maybe this is the precursor of the Lakers' establishment of a dynasty. Signing Rondo with a low-paying long-term contract, or Kobe personally going to talk about it, is fate!"

……

After accepting the interview, Tianyang went back to the locker room, washed up, and started to pack his luggage.

According to the schedule, the Lakers will be a guest in Arizona tomorrow to challenge the Suns.

The Suns got Cousins ​​this year, and traded the draft picks for the next few years to get Josh Jackson.

As soon as he finished packing, Kuzma walked up to him and asked, "I have something to ask you. Are you free now? If not, I'll come back later."

Tianyang laughed when he heard the words. He originally wanted to chat with Kuzma on his mobile phone about defense on the plane, but he didn't expect Kuzma to come to the door by himself, and it is very likely that the two would think of getting together.

"I'm free, do you want to talk about defense?"

Kuzma nodded, and Tianyang said again: "You go to the bus to find three seats, and then prepare the video of this game, and list your confusion. I will find you later."

Kuzma nodded again, picked up his backpack, turned and walked out of the locker room.

……

On the other side, Tianyang walked towards Rondo and asked, "Are you interested? Let's talk about defense to Kuzma later. He's a bit depressed right now."

"Yes. According to my observations off and on the court, he has a good defensive attitude, basic skills and awareness, but his physical confrontation is not enough. This is a common problem of rookies, and he is a little impatient." Rondo said Packing and analyzing, "However, I am more worried about Tatum than Kuzma. His defensive problems have not been shown in this game. Even Coach Wharton didn't realize it. I wonder if you noticed it?"

When Tatum was mentioned suddenly, Tianyang was a little confused. Subconsciously, he really didn't notice the problem, but since Rondo said there was, there must be one, and he specifically mentioned it, probably a little serious.

Seeing Tianyang's puzzled eyes, Rondo said: "Tatum's problem is that he is not focused enough to defend without the ball, and he is also impatient. He likes to gamble and steal. The most serious thing is that his attitude is not good enough. , seldom try to make up for their mistakes.”

After Rondo said this, Tianyang realized that the very obedient Tatum actually had such a serious problem, which was very different from his image.

"Tatum is the kind of person who wants to be the boss, and his physical condition is not good enough. He is a bit like Curry in defense. We both take this opportunity to put him and Kuzmara together and solve the two at the same time. Defensive issues."
