Chapter 45 The moonlight is so beautiful tonight

At the beginning of the season, the Lakers' schedule was acceptable, but starting in late November, the Lakers' schedule pressure suddenly increased, and it was the third time back-to-back in a short period of time.

Fortunately, after the yellow-green battle, the back-to-back opponents were the Golden State Warriors, who were also in California and were failing. The flight distance was not far, and the opponent's strength was also very average. The team was sure to have both cake and eat it.

Like the Lakers, the Warriors are a team that is good at playing offense. If they are at full strength, the Lakers certainly don't mind letting fans watch a wonderful offensive battle, but they are tired of back-to-back battles with a team that is good at playing offense.

The opposing team follows the opponent's comfortable rhythm. It's just a mental illness. Ke Yan is not that stupid!

"Although the Warriors' offense is very strong, they are purely focused on the head and not the bottom! The Warriors can only speed up the game to continuously impact and develop their touch. They are not good at slow-paced wars of attrition. As long as we slow down the rhythm,

They will be helpless!" Ke Yan pointed out the weaknesses of the Warriors in a few words.

Having said that, when it comes to competition, it is not possible to win every battle just by knowing yourself and the enemy.

After the opening, the Warriors relied on their home court advantage to beat the Lakers. The team's main center Troy Murphy is 213cm tall and has a precise outside shooting.

The shot made the Lakers a little uncomfortable, and after Anderson was pulled to the outside, the Lakers' defense at the basket was a little empty. Richardson and Dunleavy Jr. strengthened their breakthroughs and air cuts today, and the referee blew the home whistle today.

The Lakers are quite passive.

Ke Yan adjusted the game strategy in time and suddenly adopted a full-court attack to restrict the Warriors' advancement and ball play. First, he caused a mistake by the Warriors, and then forced Fisher to call a timeout to avoid being continuously intercepted, regaining the momentum of the game.

Next, the Lakers focused on the wing positions, and Kobe and Butler took advantage of their personal abilities to single out Richardson and Dunleavy Jr.. The Warriors' perimeter defense was not strong enough, and in turn, Richardson and Dunleavy's offense was also blocked.

Impact.

Kobe's performance was still sharp, with 39 points and 4 rebounds, beating Richardson. Butler also scored 19 points. The two teamed up to score a shot, helping the Lakers defeat the Warriors 108:97 and win three consecutive victories!
With this victory, the Lakers' record reached 14-9, returning to the sixth position in the Western Conference. This basically conforms to the media's positioning of the team before the season. At present, the Lakers' positioning is this

Location.

As Ke Yan said in the interview, the Suns started the season very well, with a record of 19 wins and 4 losses, two games ahead of the second-placed Spurs in the Western Conference, taking the lead. The addition of Nash has fully activated this team.

The team's other firepower points have been activated by him. His performance of 15 points and 11 assists per game so far this season is not particularly exaggerated, but Nash's role cannot be reflected by the data.

The Spurs, SuperSonics, Mavericks, and Rockets ranked second to fifth respectively, while the originally promising Kings and Timberwolves even ranked behind the Lakers, who have undergone reconstruction this season, which is also surprising.

For the NBA, this season is a year of change. In the past three seasons, the Lakers, Kings, Timberwolves and Nets in the Eastern Conference, which have maintained a high level, have all fallen, while the Suns, SuperSonics, and Bulls have all fallen.

These three teams, which were not optimistic before the season, all suddenly emerged and entered the top half of their respective divisions.

After returning to Los Angeles for a day of rest, the Lakers once again went on an expedition to the Devil's home energy solution center to challenge the Utah Jazz in the rebuilding period.

Jerry Sloan is the coach with the strictest tactical requirements in the league and the highest demands on players' tactical execution. He is known as "pulling five people off the bus and practicing for half a year and they can join the NBA." This is not an exaggeration. NBA players

If it could be mass-produced so easily, there would be many teenagers with basketball dreams crying and wanting to join the Jazz. Even if they get a basic salary, they would be "superior" in life.

The departure of the Utah duo led to the decline of the Jazz, and also proved that Jerry Sloan was not that good. After the Spanish guard Raul Lopez, who was heavily cultivated by the team, became the team's main force, his body simply could not withstand NBA-level confrontation.

He was injured after just one month of playing as the main player. Arroyo, the Puerto Rican guard who led the team against the Dream Team in the Olympics, was also missing in the NBA. Moreover, he couldn't get used to Sloan's pick-and-roll system, and was scolded by Sloan for a long time.

Without a good point guard, the Jazz can't do anything offensively, and they are basically focusing on the top three point guards in the 2005 draft.

105:93, the Lakers won the away game and continued to rank sixth in the Western Conference (15-9).

There are still 10 days left before Christmas. Wang Lifan has completed her courses for this semester and is about to start her winter vacation. Of course she is going back to Atlanta for Christmas. Before leaving, she also took the initiative to make an appointment with Ke Yan for dinner.

.

"Where are we going?" Ke Yan asked after receiving Wang Lifan.

"I don't know." Wang Lifan stuck out his tongue, a little embarrassed.

"No, you invited me to dinner, but you didn't know where to go." Ke Yan was puzzled.

"I rarely eat out, and I don't know where to eat." Wang Lifan said honestly.

Wang Lifan was quite proactive when facing Key Yan, but apart from Key Yan, she didn't have many male friends. She was mostly female friends, and the closest one was Hebe.

Ke Yan was a little strange, thought for a while and said: "I saw a private chef in the guide some time ago. The taste is very good, mainly because there are not many people and it is relatively quiet. How about we give it a try?"

This is what an international student said on the forum when he was surfing the Internet. He said that this restaurant tastes good, but it is expensive.

It is expensive for some international students, but it should be affordable for Ke Yan. Or to put it another way, 99% of restaurants in Los Angeles are affordable for Ke Yan, who has a middle-class income.

Half an hour later, the two people arrived at this private kitchen restaurant. The location was a bit remote and secluded. There were no hotels or the like around, and there were not many guests. This kind of place was just right and very suitable.

With the menu in hand, Ke Yan ordered a few dishes before handing it to Wang Lifan.

Wang Lifan did not take the menu, but just looked at Ke Yan.

Everything she likes to eat has been ordered by Ke Yan: "How do you know what I like to eat?"

"I've had several meals with you. It's not hard to tell where I stretch my chopsticks more often and what my taboos are."

Wang Lifan pursed his lips slightly, his expression a bit unnatural. It is not difficult to pay attention to this, but you have to pay attention carefully.

After placing the order, Ke Yan also ordered a bottle of Canadian ice wine: "This is women's sweet ice wine. It has no alcohol content and won't make you drunk. I think you will like it."

After placing the order, Keyan explained specifically.

"Of course~" Although Wang Lifan is a master of medicine, he does not resist alcohol. He asked the waiter to pour it and took a sip. It was indeed a drink, with a slight taste of alcohol.

"Although it's a bit early, the next time we meet will be next year, right?" Ke Yan picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Wang Lifan, "Merry Christmas."

"Cheers~" Wang Lifan pursed his lips and suppressed his smile, "I was still thinking about going to the Eagles home game on the 30th to watch the game. It seems like you don't welcome me, so I'll prepare for the new semester's courses at home~"

p>

"On the 30th!" Ke Yan concealed his joy, "Of course I welcome you to appear at Phillips Arena. Then we can celebrate the New Year together!"

If it weren't for Wang Lifan's reminder, Ke Yan himself would never have thought that the Lakers would go to Atlanta to challenge the Hawks in the game on the 30th. Wang Lifan checked the schedule for himself, which also made Ke Yan think that now might be the right time to strike while the iron is hot and show his

my thoughts.

Girls have taken such a step, why should I hesitate?

"Never, the night is so beautiful tonight."

Natsume Soseki used an implicit expression for the translation of 'I LOOVE U'.

Wang Lifan frowned and then pretended to be confused: "Huh?"

"I said..."

At this time, Wang Lifan's cell phone rang at an inappropriate time. She took it out, frowned slightly, glanced at Ke Yan, and hung up calmly.

"Why didn't you answer?"

"The call from Hebe is not an important call." Wang Lifan said.

As soon as Wang Lifan finished speaking, her phone rang again and she continued to hang up.

After three consecutive times, there was finally no movement over there.
