The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Chapter 65 Scott dismisses get out of class (first update!)

The eyes of the Lakers fans at the scene were full of despair.

They suddenly understood why those people in New York often booed the home team.

Because when the home team is bad, you really have that impulsiveness.

The Lakers have been bad for a few years, but the Knicks are bad most of the time!

The first quarter was the epitome of this preseason game.

The Pelicans defend a 2-3 zone defense, and Ball and Simmons' weakness of not being able to make three-pointers is infinitely magnified.

The talents of others were insufficient, and the Lakers finally defeated the Pelicans 70-90.

西蒙斯22投6中，得到湖人队最高的17分10板10助攻。

鹈鹕队那边布罗格登得到全场最高的23分4助攻，西亚卡姆延续之前的火热状态，再砍16分6板，罗斯14分2助攻，丁彦雨航5分2篮板。

This game also attracted crazy abuse from Lakers fans on social media.

You know they use Time Warner to watch the game, and it's pay TV!

"Trash Scott, rubbish Lakers management, Kobe is a mess after retiring!"

"The current chaotic management of the Lakers makes free agents avoid here! Once upon a time, this was a paradise for free agents!"

"George may have come before, but the management said that George is not worth it! Maggie, you should go back and be your celebrity!"

"My son is almost turning into a daughter. Do you think he can manage the Lakers well?"

"It has nothing to do with Maggie, does it? It's Jenny Buss' decision!"

"But Maggie has no achievements! Choose a handsome Simmons every day! And a 'historical' guard who can't shoot?"

"Hey, the Lakers championship, this has become an infinite joke on social media! We have fallen to such a point!"

……

After winning the Lakers, the Pelicans also successfully ended the preseason with 4 consecutive victories.

This record was expected, but what no one expected was this process.

The Pelicans used substitutes and semi-substitutes, and they all won.

This Pelicans team is far stronger than they thought.

And just after their game with the Lakers, the Lakers officially announced their resignation as head coach Byron Scott.

The team will be temporarily headed by assistant coach Paul Plessy until a suitable new head coach is found.

When the news came out, fans attracted a new wave of discussions on social media.

But what people didn't expect was that Scott, who was resigned, expressed his dissatisfaction with the Lakers management in front of the media.

"I was cheated and betrayed by the management, they didn't give me any rights at all, and they expected me to still play while rebuilding."

But not long after Scott made these remarks, Jenny Buss posted such a status on her personal Twitter.

"He didn't do what our management asked of him, he didn't even do anything."

After Kobe retired and D'Antoni left for Houston, the Lakers entered an era of reconstruction, and Scott was selected as the new head coach.

During the reconstruction process, training young people is naturally the first goal.

Simmons has become as high as he is now, just like the current chaotic situation of the Lakers.

No one can tell whether it is Simmons' own responsibility or Scott's responsibility as the head coach.

Now a preseason game has caused a lot of fan opinion, and someone needs to come out to take the blame, and Scott is naturally the one with the least price and the most suitable one.

However, this is not the end point of the fans' discussions on social media. It is that what they were worried and discussed before really happened!

After Kidd, Scott also dismissed get out of class!

Because the league's new season extends the regular season, this year's preseason has shrunk compared to previous years, from 7 games to 4 games.

But in these 4 preseason games, the Pelicans fired the head coaches of both teams!

50% dismissal rate, this statistic is simply terrifying!

This is only a preseason game, and the Big Four have only played one game together. Who knows what it will be like in the regular season when the Big Four are all out output!

New York headquarters.

Xiao Hua frowned.

He's been under a lot of stress lately.

Since the Pelicans formed the Big Four, the management of each team has expressed dissatisfaction with him.

Although it is foreseeable that the Pelicans' games will attract much attention, correspondingly, the attention of other teams' games will definitely drop!

The season with no suspense at all has made the bosses of the teams very restless.

Even Rockets new boss Tilman Fertitta and Warriors boss Joe Lacob have questioned his ability, blaming him for failing to stop Butler's trade in the first place.

He had misery. At that time, Butler's trade seemed normal. Who would have thought that the Pelicans were playing such a big game of chess? !

And he tried to stop it later, it was the Pistons and Jazz who helped!

But from his point of view, it was really embarrassing for him to realize it.

It's a done deal, and it's pointless to struggle any longer.

Before the start of the new season, the only thing he can do now is to minimize the losses of other teams.

"You go talk to ESPN, let them put the Cavaliers at the top of the list.

Teams like the Warriors and Rockets should give high comments, and the Pelicans try to say something bad. "

Xiao Hua spoke to Borgia.

The media is the main channel for fans to receive information, especially a big media like ESPN, which is basically the same as the weather forecast in the eyes of ordinary people.

The league often uses the media to influence the thoughts of fans.

Now it is impossible to appease the anger of the owners of the various teams, it can only be eased, which is the best way he can think of.

Borgia nodded and went out to do errands.

After he left, Xiao Hua thought again.

It is certainly not enough to rely on the media to create momentum.

From the perspective of the long-term season, he has to find a way to strengthen the Cavaliers and Warriors, and even the Rockets and Mavericks.

The experience of the Bucks in the preseason made him realize the horror of the Pelicans. If the Pelicans don't create more opponents, the game will really have no suspense.

It's just that there are basically no players in the free market now, and the trading market is not so easy to operate.

He thought about greeting Tatum again in his heart. If George could go to the Thunder, the Thunder would also become a threat to the Pelicans.

Thunder.

He thought about it. Before he heard that the Thunder failed to trade George, he aimed at Anthony of the Knicks.

He could try to broker the deal.

Anthony was also ranked in the top ten of the MVP list last season, and went to the Thunder to form a Big Three, which can also have an impact on the Pelicans.

And this also inspired him, there is still room for the Warriors, Mavericks, and Rockets to trade.

Anyway, no matter what, he must create a strong opponent for the Pelicans, otherwise his comeback will be a clown show, and he will have to get out after a year of performance.

The first thousand and sixty-sixth chapter of Xiu's scalp is numb (second update!)

The new season is about to start, and ESPN has also carried out the strength prediction ranking for the new season as in previous years.

But what all fans didn't expect was that the ESPN list ranked the Cavaliers at the top of the list!

1. Cavaliers

The departure of Kyrie Irving and the joining of Paul George made the strength of this team rise instead of falling. The wings of George and LeBron will be the strongest wings in the league, and the joining of "Flash" Wade makes the team stronger. They are stronger than their opponents in each position!

This is probably the most powerful team in NBA history, and we can't ignore Shumpert, JR Smith, Korver, Tristan Thompson, Jeff Green and others on their bench.

They are likely to make the new season lose suspense, and they will become the most popular team in the championship.

2. Warriors

With four All-Star Warriors, after experiencing the run-in of last season, it is expected how they will perform in the new season.

Warriors coach Cole revealed in the offseason that Curry and Durant will be used more in the pick-and-roll offense in the new season, which will allow the two superstars to have the greatest chemical reaction.

And their reinforcements during the offseason are also very targeted. They signed Nick Young and McGee to strengthen the inside and outside. They will be the team that will have the biggest impact on the Cavaliers in the new season.

3. Pelicans

The joining of Butler and Walker makes the Pelicans look stronger than ever, but this is their first season, running-in and chemical reaction will become their biggest problems, and Walker's defense will be compared to the previous Holiday. A big problem.

Of course, the biggest problem is the style of play. The four players all play with the ball. To use the most popular words, one ball is not enough for them to score. A result of 1+1+1+1<4 may be produced.

Whether it is for Tang, or the other three people, or the Pelicans management, the new season is their chance to complete the dynasty, and it is also the biggest test for them.

4. Mavericks

Losing Butler, it seems that their strength has been greatly reduced, but the real situation is that they traded away the biggest thorn in the team, got the most down-to-earth All-Star player Holiday, and has an infinite future. Jokic.

Carlisle is the second-best coach in the league after Popovich. He has proven this in the past. Just imagine the 2011 championship journey. Now that the Mavericks have an unprecedented lineup, Carlisle will usher in the richest season of his coaching career. .

Perhaps compared to the Pelicans, they are the team that is more capable of hitting the championship.

5. Rockets

Cousins' season-ending loss made them look like they'd dropped out of the first tier, but Capela's stellar performance in the preseason showed that he was ready.

And compared to Cousins, Capela is more mobile, and behind them there is a very talented Zhou Qi.

Plus Ariza who was traded during the offseason.

This team seems to have declined in talent, but the lineup is more reasonable. We have reason to believe that they will perform better.

6. Thunder

7. Bucks

8. Trail Blazers

……

When this strength ranking came out, social media exploded in an instant.

"Fuck, the Pelicans are third?! ESPN are you serious?!"

"It's not me who wants to spray, but you are so blind! You tell me about tacit understanding and chemical reaction? 30 points in the half to abuse the Bucks, are we watching an NBA?!"

"Slap Butler on the head, this shit is talking nonsense! Butler is Tang's fanboy! If you haven't watched the game, go watch the preseason video!"

"What's even more nonsense is that the Warriors are still ahead of the Pelicans. The Pelicans won with that lineup last season. This is the second place!"

"Isn't the funniest thing about the sentence that the Mavericks have less chance of hitting the championship than the Pelicans?"

"The Rockets will be better than last season..."

"Guys don't panic, it's probably just ESPN's website that got hacked!"

"I don't think there is a problem with this list, you keyboard warriors, don't compare blindly!" A statement from a Harrell fan.

"That's right, these keyboard warriors know how to talk on paper, and don't care about running-in and tacit understanding at all. Wade and LeBron are brothers, and Durant is more integrated into the team. They are better than the Pelicans!" From a West fan speak.

"That's right, and the Pelicans' contracts for Walker and Butler will both expire next year, and they will both be paid a maximum salary. Such fans will explode next year. They will definitely have to grab the ball in the contract year, and it will definitely be a mess by then!" From A statement from a Forbes fan.

……

"Fxck!"

Durant couldn't help being rude when he saw the comments on social media.
