lakers championship

Chapter 392
Experts mentioned that after the transaction, the fans' discussions about who should be replaced by who should be exchanged suddenly popped up like leeks overnight. Some want to send Ingram, some want to send Kuzma, and some want to send Randall's.

In short, apart from Tianyang and Kobe, any other player of the Lakers has entered the fan's YY list.

Among them, Randall has been rumored the most.

But after playing around, they didn't come up with any decent trading plan. First, the fans didn't understand the trading rules, and many ideas could not be realized at all; second, the fans liked to treat other teams as fools, even sending Randall The trade of adding draft picks for Anthony Davis can be proposed; the third is that the main players of the Lakers are all rookies, the salary is very low, the substitute players are all veterans, the salary is also very low, and the management is still trying to fill the gap. The ghost line is worried, even if there is a good trading plan, it is difficult to balance it.

In O'Neill's view, the proposed trade was complete bullshit, and he sneered at the TNT roundtable.

"At this stage, there are point guards who can defend and organize. Except for Rondo, Paul, and Curry, where can I find them? Centers who can protect the frame and move faster, except for Anthony Davis, Embiid, and Jokic. People, where to find? The problem the Lakers encountered was not a problem of player ability at all, but the lack of lethality of the Lakers' tactical system after losing the support of Tianyang. As long as Tianyang returns, even if the center and point guard are still unable to defend Can beat other teams!"

For O'Neill's statement, Barkley agreed.

"At the beginning of the season, the Jazz and Trail Blazers did the same, but the Lakers easily beat these two teams. The real problem for the Lakers is the three-pointer. If the current three-pointer level continues, it will be very difficult for the Rockets and the Warriors. Hard to beat!"

What Barkley said is exactly the issue SkyOcean has been emphasizing.

On the 9th, during the training of the Lakers, Walton proposed a new idea, which is to require the whole team to shoot three-pointers first when there is space in the next two months of the game, even if they lose. , Kobe, and Carter made completely different bets, and the requirement at the time was to win the game first.

In order to have more shooting space on the outside, the inside must be restrained. With Cousins ​​last season, he can make three-pointers and attack aggressively. Without Cousins ​​this season, the effect of McGee and Lopez is far worse. In addition, the four rookies are not good at three-pointers except Hart, so there is such an embarrassing situation.

After a team meeting and discussion, Walton decided to adjust Randall's style of play, let him pick and roll more, go deep inside, reduce the number of ball-holding support at the top of the arc, and the number of face-to-frame attacks, and truly train him as a five-small center.

Since it is necessary to play more inside, the back attack is naturally indispensable. Kobe took the initiative to say that he would spare time to train Randall, but Kuzma envied that he also wanted to play inside.

In addition, Walton also adjusted the tactical positioning of McGee and Lopez, reducing the number of pick-and-rolls for the two in the high position or on the wing, and trying to contain the opponent's center at the basket as much as possible.

As for the defensive end, it is still the strongest unlimited defense. As long as Tianyang is around, everything will be easy to handle.

On the 10th, the Lakers once again visited Dallas to challenge the Mavericks. Tianyang and Kuzma returned at the same time.

The Mavericks, who are competing for the top pick with the Eagles, Kings, Grizzlies, and Magic, have no desire to resist. Carlisle completely gave up command, and has been sitting on the bench watching Dennis, Matthews, and Barnes. Barea, who performed better, asked him to be replaced.

Faced with such a generous Mavericks, the Lakers are not polite, Walton excitedly directed the players to practice new tactics.

First, Randall hit Matthews with various backs, and then Ingram, Kuzma, Hart, and Tatum made three-pointers. Nick Young, Carter, Tianyang, and Kobe gave passionate guidance off the court.

最终，在三分这项数据统计上，英格拉姆9中4、库兹马8中4、哈特10中5、塔图姆7中3，湖人全队狂砍130分战胜小牛。

After defeating the Mavericks, the Lakers flew to New Orleans.

On the plane, Tianyang received invitations to the All-Star Three-Point Contest and the Skills Competition. After a little thought, he decided to participate in the Three-Point Competition.

After arriving in New Orleans, Tianyang received another invitation from Ferrari, who hoped that Tianyang would sign up for the slam dunk contest. At that time, just like Griffin dunked, a limited-edition sports car would make him leap.

After weighing the pros and cons, SkyOcean agreed. The main reason is that it can do a wave of publicity for Adidas by the way. The dunk will definitely be a creative dunk. It is good that it can play a role in publicity. It doesn't matter whether it can win a prize or not.

In the battle against the Pelicans on the 14th, Gentry learned from the Raptors and arranged for Davis to stare at the inside to play.

Wharton arranges a defense, but only in terms of inside offense, Davis is stronger than Vucevic, Adams, and Cousins. It is very uncomfortable to play Lopez and Randall against the defense. Rotic's defensive restrictions, both Kuzma and Tatum failed to shoot three-pointers, the Lakers fought hard for halftime, trailing by 9 points.

Entering the second half, Tianyang prepared to warm up for the three-point contest and intentionally increased the number of three-point shots, but the hand feeling was not very good. He hit the iron three times in a row and widened the point difference by 15 points in a daze.

Fortunately, after the start of the fourth quarter, Davis' physical strength declined severely, and the Lakers took the opportunity to chase points.

The two teams fought fiercely until the last minute, Tianyang's touch finally broke out, and two consecutive three-pointers killed the game.

After struggling to win the victory, the Lakers even flew to Minnesota to challenge the Timberwolves back to back.

After the start of the game, the Timberwolves, who were eager to reach the playoffs, under the leadership of Butler, seemed to have truly awakened the blood of the wolf clan. Every player was tough, agile, and knew how to cooperate with the team. Once biting, the Lakers were covered in scars .

Towns, who has fulfilled his talent, and Wiggins, who is attacking with all his strength, are particularly terrifying. Lopez, McGee, Ingram, and Tatum are particularly struggling to defend, and incidentally lead to continuous deflation on the offensive end.

Originally, the Lakers had just experienced a fierce battle, and they were really powerless. They persisted until the last 2 minutes, because they made three consecutive shots and let the Timberwolves take them away.

After the three consecutive away games, the Lakers flew back to Los Angeles to prepare for the 2017-2018 All-Star season.

This time the All-Star was held at Staples. As the core player of the host and one of the captains of the race, Tianyang had many things to do. The first thing was to select players with LeBron.

According to the previous proposal, the selection will be conducted through live broadcast.

On the morning of the 16th, SkyOcean arrived at the League's Los Angeles office in Los Angeles.

LeBron arrived later, the two exchanged pleasantries, and Tianyang proposed his own selection ideas.

"How about we have a match between Death Five and Death Five?"
