The world's best combo guard

Chapter 188 185 [Fight against a strong enemy again]

After defeating the Houston Rockets, there is no doubt that the Los Angeles Lakers have further become the most popular team in the league at the moment, with 11 wins and 0 losses, which is also the best start in the history of the Lakers.

At this time, for the Lakers fans, they are looking forward to the Lakers being able to continue the winning streak in the next game and create a record unprecedented.

But in fact, the wishes of the fans are beautiful, but it is really not so easy to realize all this.

No, tonight they will sit at home to usher in the strongest opponent so far this season - the Phoenix Suns.

Like the Lakers, the Suns' record in the new season is also hot.

Mike D'Antoni has made the Suns the best offensive team in the league. The Suns, with Steve Nash in the backcourt, have played hearty and pleasing games this season.

9 wins and 2 losses!
Although not as good as the Lakers' 11 wins and 0 losses, it should not be underestimated.

Therefore, for the Lakers, this game tonight may face a more severe challenge. The Suns are not the Rockets. There are bound to be severe challenges.

Although the generals of the Lakers easily stated in front of the media that this is just a very ordinary regular season, in fact, everyone attaches great importance to this game.

As early as a day ago, everyone consciously went to the training hall for collective additional training. Obviously, no one wanted the team's dazzling winning streak to be ended like this. The opponent was still a potential opponent who rushed out of the West in the playoffs.

The head coach Rudy Norwich is very satisfied with the competitive attitude shown by the players, although he knows that Kobe and Li Hao are responsible for this.

.........

"no no no, God, let me go"

Lamar Odom waved his hands weakly and continuously. He really couldn't take it anymore. He really couldn't figure out where the two bastards Kobe and Li Hao got so much energy. From the beginning of the new season to now, he has been training almost every day These two guys have to take turns to single them out, and each time the result of the singles is that they are brutally abused.

No, just half an hour ago, he was tortured by Li Hao, and before he could recover, Kobe came over again.

It really overwhelmed him.

"You are as fucking soft as a tissue. You want to be a top player like you. This is the biggest joke that labor and management have heard."

What makes Odom even more angry is that the bastard Kobe Bryant babbles endlessly every time in the heads-up, which is really a headache.

As for Li Hao, it's not much better. Although this guy doesn't talk a lot of trash, he just keeps staring at you, especially after he defeats you, he always looks like he deserves a beating.

In Odom's view, Li Hao's behavior is also very irritating.

Of course, what Odom has to admit is that his level has indeed been improved in such occasional duels with Kobe Li Hao.

From the beginning of the new season to now, the best performers of the Lakers are undoubtedly the twin stars of Li Hao and Kobe.

But in fact, apart from Li Hao and Kobe, Odom's performance at this point is obvious to all. The double-double data of 16.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per game definitely exceeded many people's expectations.

With Odom's outstanding performance, the status quo of the weak inside of the Lakers left by Shaquille O'Neal is constantly re-solidifying.

Any team in the league now dare not think that playing the Lakers against the inside will definitely win.

And at Odom's age, he is still in an absolute rising period, and his peak period is far from coming.

Growing up by constantly accepting challenges, Odom is undoubtedly lucky to have a double-super giant combination like Li Hao and Kobe by his side, because the pressure on him is actually much less.

This is just like Li Hao last season, with the ok combination in front of him. In a short period of time, he doesn't need to bear too much pressure for the Lakers' record. This kind of atmosphere will undoubtedly help him grow up quickly.

Of course, the flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand the storm after all. For Odom, he must make his own voice when necessary and face the challenge.

Just like how Li Hao broke out when the team was at a low point last season, such a challenging rise is more valuable.

For Odom, tonight's game with the Suns is undoubtedly the time when he needs to stand up.

Many people say that Steve Nash is the absolute core of this team bombarding the Suns. To a certain extent, there is nothing wrong with this sentence.

But people have to understand that Stoudemire inside is just as important.

Stoudemire, who has excellent mobility, is definitely the fulcrum of D'Antoni's 7-second offensive tactics. Without Stoudemire's restraint in the interior, Steve Nash would never be able to pass the ball easily.

In addition to his excellent athletic ability and moving feet, Stoudemire's scoring ability should not be underestimated. His long-range shooting and finishing ability at the basket are very good. This is why he has averaged 25 points per game so far this season. reason for the score.

Therefore, for the Lakers in tonight's game, how to limit Stoudemire's point has become one of the keys to whether the team can successfully defeat the Suns.

With Kobe and Li Hao, Rudy Tom and Norwich will naturally make tactical arrangements around the perimeter, but he must place great hopes on Lamar Odom, he does not expect Odom to be able to Even with Stoudemire, but after all, Odom entered the NBA 3 years earlier than Stoudemire. He must at least put Stoudemire in an uncomfortable position tonight.

For Rudy Tom and Norwich, he thinks Odom can do it, because this kid has become the biggest surprise among the Lakers in the new season. Many people say that Lamar Odom and Timberwolves' Kyle Vingarnett is a lot like that, the kind of big man who is very versatile and can do a lot of things.

"Lamar, if you can score 20 points against Stoudemire tonight, you will never receive my heads-up invitation for the next week"

Kobe laughed out loud. He always likes to use this trick to motivate his teammates, but in most cases, the winner of this kind of bet will be himself, except for Li Hao last season. Kobe swore that in order to motivate Li Hao last season, he once There were more than one such agreement with Li Hao before the game, but Li Hao was able to win the bet almost every time.

This is also one of the reasons why Kobe appreciates and recognizes Li Hao very much. In Kobe’s view, it’s nothing to dare to compete with others. Only those who dare to compete with themselves are true warriors. This kind of bet is actually to compete with oneself.

"Remember what you said man, please don't bother me for the next week"

Odom left a word, shook his head, turned and left!
