On November 11th, the Lakers continued their journey into the new season and challenged the Dallas Mavericks led by Nowitzki in an away game. They lost 9:124, and their losing streak came to three games.At the same time, the team's winning percentage fell below 131%, and its ranking dropped to tenth in the Western Conference.

For a time, doubts from the outside world arose.

2 wins and 3 losses, this result is indeed far from the expectations of the fans, but as long as you analyze it carefully, this result is really good for a team that has just undergone major reforms in the summer and reforged its offensive and defensive systems. It's acceptable, not to mention that the Lakers have already encountered the Suns and the Mavericks, two of the top four teams in the Western Conference, in the first five games, and the schedule still suffers a bit.

In the city of Los Angeles, some pressure must be borne.In the eyes of many fans who don't like Kobe so much, Kobe forced O'Neal and Phil Jackson away. He did something that affected the strength of the team because of conflicts. This is a selfish act.Compared with Phil Jackson, Tomjanovich failed to control this team well, and the so-called talented Chinese assistant coach is just a hype, and the theory is shallow!

Many newspapers and the media are frantically belittling the Lakers, which is exactly the same as the hype that was everywhere a week ago.This is the big city, this is Los Angeles.If you behave well, they can lift you up to the sky, and if you behave badly, they can also trample you to the ground.

Fortunately, before the Lakers felt the pressure from the outside world, the most representative violent incident in the history of the NBA broke out in the Eastern Conference-the Palace of Auburn Hills incident.With 45.9 seconds left in the Pacers-Pistons game, with the Pistons trailing by 15 points, Pacers forward Ron Artest called a rather crude foul on Ben Wallace.Ben Wallace was in a bad mood after losing, so he pushed Pacers forward Artest hard, which triggered a violent conflict between the two sides.Later, under the comfort of the referee and teammates, Ron Artest was lying on the technical table, and a fan poured beer on him, causing Artest to lose control of his emotions.Artest then rushed into the auditorium and beat the fans violently. The Pistons fans fought back. Artest didn't take advantage of it and fell into a fight.At the critical moment, Wu Sheng Jackson followed up, and a set of combined punches knocked over a group of fans and rescued Artest from the crowd. . . . . . .

Compared with the Palace of Auburn Hills incident, the Lakers' three-game losing streak has become nothing to mention.Stern has always been committed to changing the image of the NBA and pleasing more fans. This time there was a violent incident in which a player beat a fan. For a while, all the media focused on the report of this incident.

Including the Lakers fans, they are also watching videos of the Palace of Auburn Hills and watching related news, forgetting to pay attention to their own team's results, and even the Lakers' away game against the Hornets, the attention is much lower.

Speaking of which, the Hornets have been a miserable team in the past two years. Originally in the relatively weak Eastern Conference, Baron Davis and Mashburn could also lead this team to the playoffs. With the steady improvement of second-year rookie David West, the team's small life is quite comfortable.As a result, the expansion of the league forced the Hornets to the west. In addition, the team's second-in-command Mashburn underwent minimally invasive knee surgery and was reimbursed for the season, which directly destroyed the Hornets' combat effectiveness. Losing to the opponent by 1 points per game, this kind of opponent is perfect for bottoming out!

At the same time, the team's poor recent situation also gave Tomjanovich a chance to adjust the team's starting lineup. Caron Butler was transferred to the starting lineup by Tomjanovich. Grant, who was in poor form after the start of the game, was finally eliminated.

In this way, the strongest five-man team of the Lakers in Ke Yan's eyes finally fit together in the starting lineup!

Although it was back-to-back battles and last game against the Mavericks for 41 minutes, Kobe was still full of fighting spirit after the opening game. He succeeded in singles against JR Smith of the Hornets in the low post and helped the Lakers build an 8-point lead in half a quarter. leading edge.

After Kobe left the field, Caron Butler, who had been playing the role of sixth man before, played the role of the first attacker in the team's rotation in the following time, and finally got his wish as the starter. Butler performed very well in the game Excited, coupled with the obvious lack of defensive strength of the Hornets' flanks, Butler scored 8 points in the first quarter, and the Lakers also ended the first quarter with a 32:23 lead of 9 points.

Although the team's record has fluctuated, the most affirmative point of the Lakers this season is their offense. Even though Kobe made some unreasonable offensive choices, the Lakers' offensive efficiency still ranks fifth in the league. The offensive system built by Ke Yan is inseparable. In the second quarter, Butler, Odom, and Atkins continued to play on the offensive end.After coming to the Lakers, Atkins generally only scored in double figures in the game against the Nuggets. He scored 8 points in the second quarter and 11 points in the first half. Three players scored in double figures in the game, directly opening the point difference to 23 points.

Against the weak Hornets, they led by 23 points at halftime. In Ke Yan's view, the second half was a good opportunity to practice tactics, but Kobe didn't think so. In addition to the team's record, he wanted to strive for some personal honors this season. , such as MVP, such as scoring champion.Without the suspense of winning or losing, Kobe played more aggressively in singles, taking 12 shots in a single quarter, hitting 5 goals and scoring 12 points.

His score came to 25 points, but the point difference between the Lakers and the Hornets was narrowed to 18 points. It is really not an exaggeration to say that "singles hurt the team".

If it wasn't for back-to-back battles, Kobe would probably still want to score [-] points in the fourth quarter. Fortunately, Tomjanovich here was moved by emotion and reason, and persuaded Kobe not to give up this little statistic. Affecting his physical strength and taking a greater risk of injury at the same time, this reluctantly persuaded Kobe.

But seeing Kobe's resentful expression, Ke Yan understood that the other party was still dissatisfied.From another point of view, I can also understand why Tomjanovich knew that Grant was useless, but he used him to start five games, and took the opportunity to win him after a three-game losing streak. The main reason is that Harmony in the team locker room.

At 113:96, the Lakers defeated the New Orleans Hornets away, ending their three-game losing streak (3-3).

A big victory eased the pressure surrounding the entire Lakers team, the negative news dissipated, and the team was able to concentrate on the next game.

. . . . . .

On the fourth day after the interview, Xu Yi officially published his interview with Ke Yan on the ESPN Huaxia official website. Through the ESPN platform, the correct information about Ke Yan appeared on the website of his country for the first time.

However, the reaction of the vast majority of fans perfectly carried out the sentence, "If you spread a rumor, you will lose your leg if you refute it." "Ke Yan's experience as an assistant coach" and "Ke Yan thinks the Suns are a strong team", of course, some female fans focus on Ke Yan's good appearance. After all, women are visual animals.

"To be honest, I still admire Ke Yan, a coach who dares to go abroad for further studies. In basketball, it is a good idea to learn from foreign players to control foreign players. I am optimistic about Ke Yan taking over the national team in the future~"

"Let me give you some popular science. As an assistant coach, Ke Yan is responsible for the design and practice of the Lakers' offensive tactics this season. The Lakers' scoring average this season ranks among the top four in the league. This statistic is very eye-catching, and Tang Shuai thinks highly of Ke Yan. He has been given ample opportunity to express himself, and it is estimated that after a few more years of training, he is very likely to become the first Chinese head coach to coach an NBA team!"

"It's a bit early to say that the Suns are a championship-level team in the regular season. They only won 15 games last season, and they just started the game. I'm still optimistic about the top three in Texas, especially the Rockets. !"

"Don't brag, discuss rationally. Ke Yan has been an assistant coach for two seasons, and neither team has made the playoffs. The Suns were the last in the league last season! Joining the Lakers this season has only three wins and three losses. Don't brag about a Chinese person, it's not good!"

"Wow, Ke Yan is so handsome? (^_-)"
