Chapter 40 Nightlife is toxic

The team suffered a three-game losing streak, and the Los Angeles media had to find someone to take the blame no matter what. Kobe Bryant recently scored 30 points in each game, and his shooting percentage was also good in two games. The reporters did not criticize him much, and focused all their firepower on the coaching staff.

and other players.

There are those who blame Tomjanovich for blindly trusting Keyan and focusing on offense over defense; there are those who blame Odom for making stupid mistakes in games and making inexplicable mistakes; there are those who complain about Keyan's ability to talk on paper, have no hair on his lips, and do things poorly; and there are those who complain about management.

The lack of action by the leadership, and the summer trades weakened the team's strength. Anyway, what they once talked about has now become a problem for the Lakers.

This is the case in the city of Los Angeles, traffic is paramount! The Lakers are a wealthy team, and if they lose a game, someone has to take the blame. Ke Yan is often praised when he wins, and naturally he is pushed out to shoulder the blame when he loses.<

/p>

In fact, in these three games, the Lakers basically did not suffer in terms of tactical arrangements and personnel scheduling. They either lost because the players' touch was too bad, or because a certain main player made a mistake and there were no suitable substitute players available.

Speaking of which, the Lakers' bench lineup is really a bit too weak. Especially backup point guard Terry Brown and backup small forward Luke Walton are really not suitable for Ke Yan's tactical system.

On December 6, the Lakers went to Charlotte and defeated the Bobcats 105-91, finally stopping their decline and ending their three-game losing streak. (11-8)

In addition to Kobe's fourth consecutive 30-point game, the hero of this game was Atkins. He made 7 of 13 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws, scoring 21 points.

He stood up when the team was in trouble.

Odom, who was at the forefront of the storm, also regained his strength in this game. He took 4 outside shots in this game and hit 2 goals. He scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in the game, which gave him some respect.

.

The new Bobcats in the league are still in a poor and weak stage, and they can only wallow at the bottom of the league for a while. However, the team has completed the first step of team building. First, the Shali gold digger discovered Gerald Hua.

Rice, an all-around small forward, also got Okafor, who has good immediate combat ability, in the draft. Both players are of high quality and both are young. If the team is weak for another two or three years, it will be better to wait for a high pick.

If a rookie has saved enough and uses the salary space to do something, it should be a natural thing for him to rise.

However, the team owner recruited Gang Leader Joe to join the team, which became the beginning of the Bobcats' misfortune. Gang Leader Joe was a goat in playing basketball and had a high reputation, but he was far from good as a boss. Not only was he a bad guy, but he also interfered a lot!
From a god's perspective, everyone is a waste! Since they are all waste, just pick one at will! This is the principle by which Gang Leader Qiao runs the Bobcats.

After defeating the Charlotte Bobcats, the Lakers lost back-to-back away games to the Indiana Pacers and failed to win consecutive games. (11-9)

The fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills ended Artest's season after playing only seven games, and also took away the possibility of veteran Reggie Miller competing for a championship in the last year of his career. He lacked the team's best perimeter defense.

He is also the second leading scorer, and the Pacers have dropped from championship contenders to the level of playoff teams. However, in this game, the team still suppressed the tired and tired Lakers.

Insiders with comprehensive offensive skills are the nemesis of this Lakers team. The Grizzlies have Pau Gasol and Pacers teammate O'Neal. The latter is a greater threat than the former, with both physical and technical skills, and a wider shooting range.

Odom and Anderson were beaten to death.

O'Neal Jr. made a huge impact in the Lakers' interior, Stephen Jackson and Reggie Miller also contributed 18 points and 16 points respectively. The Pacers, who were both inside and outside, finally defeated the Lakers 117:104.

That is to say, after losing this game, Ke Yan found Butler, whose performance in recent games was mediocre, to talk alone. He rarely sounded stern: "Caron, what have you done recently? You have dropped so much. If this continues, we will

We are going to fall out of the top eight in the Western Conference!"

"I'm sorry. I know I haven't played well recently, but I will work hard in the future." It was Ke Yan's support that allowed Butler to take the small forward position in the Lakers. His attitude towards Ke Yan was also very respectful.

"The nightlife in Los Angeles is great, but you have to be careful when you go out and don't affect your performance on the court."

When he first arrived in Los Angeles, Butler was not that familiar with the surrounding area. In addition, he had to fight for his position in the new team, so he spent a considerable part of his time in the training gym. But as time went by, Butler settled down

As the main force, he began to go out frequently to enjoy his nightlife. He knew which store had better girls and bigger butts, so his energy was divided.

The United States values ​​freedom and human rights. Ke Yan has no right to interfere with the private lives of his players. He himself knows that players play hard for better material enjoyment. But he hopes that players understand that all material enjoyment comes from money. Without stable performance, the team

We won't give him a big contract.

Odom has already received a big contract, and his life is guaranteed. Butler is still in his rookie contract, and he doesn't play well when he spends a lot of money. There are many bankrupt seniors in the league who serve as negative lessons for him.

p>

"The Lakers are a big team, and playing here means higher exposure. If you play well or poorly, it will be magnified. If you play well, the team will value you and give you a big contract. If

If you perform poorly, everyone will know it, and other teams will be wary of offering you a contract."

"You can go out and play, but you must ensure enough rest time, and don't be distracted during training and competition. If your legs are weak during the competition, no matter how hard you think, it will be in vain!"

To persuade players like Butler, you can't be emotional, you can only use reason and induce them to gain benefits, and they will do this.

After two consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference, the Lakers returned to their home court and their opponent was the Orlando Magic.

For the Lakers, this game is very critical. The Lakers have lost four of the last five games, and their ranking has fallen to eighth in the Western Conference, only one game ahead of the Grizzlies behind them. Ke Yan came to the Lakers,

But if you want to change the team's fate of missing the playoffs, you don't want the team to be even worse than before.

Starting from the scratch of last season, the Magic's foundation is much better than the average "bad team". The combination of the scoring champion and the number one inside line should have been worth looking forward to. Even if McGrady is not willing to wait for Howard's growth, the team

Traded Tracy McGrady for three qualified players in Francis, Mobley, and Cato, and cleared Juwan Howard's premium contract. Coupled with Grant Hill's comeback, the Magic can rank among the top eight in the Eastern Conference on paper.

.

In the first four years of his career with the Magic, Grant Hill played a total of 47 games. Repeated ankle injuries have taken away the "fastest first step in the league" that Hill relied on to survive, even if he returned to relative health this season.

After returning to the court, the violent breakthroughs that once were made are difficult to reproduce. Fortunately, Hill's basketball IQ is still there. As an organizational forward, he can make up for Francis's lack of organizational ability and be a good lubricant between Howard and Francis.<

/p>

"Caron, in this game, in addition to limiting Grant's performance, we need you to move more inward to help protect rebounds. Hill is not good at outside shooting, so he can give him space appropriately." The final words after the shooting training

Arrangement, Ke Yan gave Caron Butler face-to-face instructions, "Remember, there can be no more problems in this game!"
