NBA: I am the card dealer

The media were also in an uproar.

Everyone saw what Mike Brown did when he coached the Lakers. He was suspended by the Thunder in the playoffs. In the second year, he had no wins in the preseason and continued to be bad in the regular season, so he was waived.

result.

Three years later, I invited him back again.

Everyone said they couldn't understand the operations of the Lakers management.

Aunt Jenny also took the opportunity to launch a board meeting, trying to give Jim Bass a fatal blow.

But Kupchak resolved the crisis with one sentence, "This is the coach Xue asked for by name. I don't think I can refuse."

The silence was deafening.

This reason is enough to stop all the talk.

Because even if Xue Liancheng is injured and out of action, he is still the most popular superstar in the league and the number one face of the league.

How dare you not find the head coach he asked for?

You know, Xue Liancheng's contract is only for two years, and the second year is a player option. If it does not meet expectations or his life with the Lakers does not go well, he can turn around and leave.

How could the Lakers let go of this cornerstone player for the next decade or so?

Do not……

It’s not just the Lakers…

It is impossible for any team to give up keeping Xue Liancheng. They will try every means, even at all costs, to keep him.

this is the truth.

But in the first game when Bread took office, he encountered a blast from the Toronto Raptors and lost the game 114:123.

Lowry scored a crazy 41 points, plus 9 rebounds and 7 assists. He performed very hard.

The other trash brother, DeRozan, also scored 31 points.

The outburst of these two people directly caused the morale that the Lakers had boosted to slump again.

of course.

It is actually understandable to lose the game. After all, the star George is absent, and the strength has waxed and waned. It is quite good to be able to play like this.

On this day, the Lakers finally received great news.

After Xue Liancheng's reexamination, he was finally allowed to conduct systematic training, which means that his comeback is imminent.

The Lakers official website also updated this information at this time, and all Lakers fans were excited at this time.

"Finally waiting for you."

"The Lakers can be saved."

"It seems that we can still touch the edge of the playoffs this season."

“I rushed in after a winning streak.”

"Xue Liancheng hasn't touched the ball for more than half a year. It may take some time to get back to form, so the performance expectations are still not optimistic."

"At least he's back, isn't he? Him standing outside the three-point line and smoking is a huge deterrent, that's enough."

"This is the biggest good news since the new season."

"If you don't come back, the Lakers will go straight to the bottom."

"After waiting for more than half a season, we can finally see how much combat power the complete Lakers have."

Fans are already excited, and media and commentators from all walks of life are also discussing it wildly.

And "Xue Liancheng is about to come back" directly hit the top of the hot search list.

With this forcibly boosted morale, coupled with George's return, the Lakers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 116:102 at home, finally ending their three-game losing streak.

乔治15中7拿到了23分8篮板6助攻，表现还算不错。

兰德尔15中9砍下19分14篮板11助攻的三双数据，但这可不是什么好现象，说明此时的兰德尔球风已经有了往外飘的趋势。

Clarkson had 18 points and Zubac also had 14 points.

Marvin Williams and James Johnson on the bench are still fierce. One has 16 points and the other has 14 points. They can be positioned as the team's main offensive firepower and have become indispensable.

But before they could defeat the Grizzlies, they turned around and were defeated by the Trail Blazers.

This is the end.

The Lakers' schedule is about to pass halfway, and their record is only 13 wins and 26 losses, which is quite bad, ranking only th in the Western Conference.

The leader in the Western Conference is undoubtedly the Golden State Warriors. They are currently 31 wins and 5 losses. They have only lost five games since the start of the season. They are truly invincible and invincible.

Among these five losses, one was contributed by the Lakers. This may be one of the few things the Lakers are proud of this season.

And it has to be said that Durant's coming to the Warriors is really a nuclear bomb-level blessing. The three top scorers in the league, even without the support and dispatching of Chasing Green, they are still incomparable.

It is obvious that their strength is ahead of other teams.

Second place, the San Antonio Spurs, has a record of 29 wins and 7 losses. As expected, they may be the only entity in the West that can physically threaten the Universe.

This alone is enough to illustrate their strength, which is simply terrifying.

After all, no team can compare with Universe Yong.

Third place, the Houston Rockets, currently have a record of 28 wins and 9 losses.

This is a bit unexpected.

The team that struggled to reach the playoffs last season has regained its vitality this season and has produced top-notch offensive firepower.

And here, the one who deserves the greatest credit is undoubtedly James Harden.

This season he has done it again, going from 29+7+6 last season to averaging 29.2 points, 11.3 assists and 8 rebounds per game this season. There is a hint of Xue Liancheng winning the MVP last season. As you can imagine How strong Harden has been this season.

In addition, the addition of Eric Gordon + Ryan Anderson has completed structural adjustments to their lineup.

Eric Gordon makes their bench firepower fierce, which is a stable scoring point and is very important.

Ryan Anderson is a space power forward who fits Harden's style of play very well and can create a wide space for the team.

Capela's growth is another secret to the Rockets' success this season.

There are also powerful players such as Beverley, Ariza, Nene, Brewer, etc. to help, which makes their combat effectiveness on both offense and defense more balanced, and their strength must not be underestimated.

Fourth place, the Los Angeles Clippers, currently has a record of 24 wins and 14 losses.

This is also expected by the public.

The position of the fourth player in the millennium is very secure, which may be a great benefit to other teams that are fighting for the playoffs.

But for the Clippers, it's just the opposite, almost like a reprieve.

The reason is simple. They haven't made a breakthrough in four or five years, which means that the ceiling of the Paul + Griffin + DeAndre Jordan + Redick combination is there.

No matter how hard they try, they will never have a chance to break through.

This is very fatal.

This season, the public unanimously believes that they can only run with them at best, and they are already top-notch in the second round.

So……

Are they still far away from investigation and separation?

Fifth place, Utah Jazz, current record is 22 wins and 15 losses.

This is also a shocking ranking. No one could have imagined that they could reach the fifth position in the Western Conference. It is simply incredible.
