NBA: I really just want to make money
Chapter 99
Successfully defeated the Warriors, and the Lakers, who had won fourteen consecutive victories, received great attention after the game.
In the new season, they have never lost in a row and have repeatedly created high-volume winning streaks. It is impossible not to attract attention.
~14 wins is also the longest winning streak among all teams in the league so far this season.
Coupled with the fact that the team has Chen Hao, who was recently confirmed to be in love with Hollywood actress Jessica Alba, and superstar Kobe Bryant, who is firmly at the top of the scoring list, the Lakers are in the limelight in the league. No two.
The topic exploded.
Just when everyone was discussing who could defeat the Lakers and end their winning streak, and who could give this Lakers team the treatment of a losing streak, after a day of rest, the entire Lakers team came to Detroit to face an away game. a powerful rival....Pistons!
So far this season, the Pistons have a record of 36 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference, and second in the league, second only to the Lakers!
This is a game of first in the league vs. second in the league.
The latter has also been undefeated in recent times, with its winning streak accumulated to 10 games.
It’s the first meeting between the two sides this season!
Under the influence of these topics, the attention of this game has been overwhelming, and it has been directly arranged to be broadcast live across the United States. The game has not even started yet, fans, various so-called experts, and even the news media have already started hyping it up.......
"In this game, I'm siding with the Pistons' top five. Judging from the team's lineup on paper, the Pistons are too strong, with five starters and four All-Stars. Who can handle this, even if they are the only one who can't? Prince, who has entered the All-Stars, has an All-Star level of personal ability, and the lineup is really strong!"
"No, no, no, NBA competition is never just about the strength of the lineup on paper. On-the-spot performance and tactical arrangements are often the most critical factors in winning. I think the strength of the two teams should be about 60% to 40%. The Lakers are slightly weaker, but they can win. The probability is also quite high"
"The average of 40+ points per game has been ignored by you. In the previous game against the Raptors, Kobe, Hao and Lamar scored 110 points together. You also ignored this incredible performance. The wily Phil Jackson Still ignored by you, the Lakers are far from as simple as their lineup looks."
"Yes, just looking at the lineup on paper, there are at least ten teams in the league that look better than the Lakers. But now the Lakers' record is ranked first in the league, and the Pistons are only second. This is enough to explain the problem."
"Well said, I am optimistic about the Lakers. Kobe's competitive status this season is unparalleled. Hao's progress is amazing. No one knows whether he will show new skills again in this game. Lamar Odom is very comprehensive. , this season’s defense is just resting on its past laurels, and the Pistons may not be able to win."
"....."
The fans and spectators were talking a lot, and both teams were making intensive pre-match preparations.
The Pistons, as the defending champion last season, lost to the Spurs by 6 points in the finals tiebreaker. Unfortunately, they failed to defend their title. The grievances between the team's head coach Larry Brown and the Pistons management were already at an outbreak. On the verge of winning the championship, the conflict between the two sides broke out directly after the end of the season.
Larry Brown did not choose to renew his contract with the team, but accepted the Knicks' sky-high contract of 5 million and went to New York.
The Pistons management had been prepared for a long time. They turned around and signed a contract with former Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders. The Pistons have a new coach!
Compared with Larry Brown, who has a rigid personality, Sanders' tactics are more diverse and his heart is more inclined to an offensive tactical system. His arrival has made the Pistons more diversified on the offensive end.
Although there has been no breakthrough on the defensive end and they are just eating the money left by Larry Brown, judging from the Pistons' current regular season record, who can say that Sanders' tactical system is poor?
At this time Sanders was talking and analyzing the situation of the Lakers.
Among them, the one who needs the most attention is undoubtedly Kobe, who averaged 40+ points per game this season. Whether Kobe can limit his performance is the key to winning this game.
The Lakers' No. 2 figure who needs attention, in Sanders' mind, is not the all-around warrior Lamar Odom, but Chen Hao!
"Everyone should be familiar with the player Hao. He joined the Lakers through trial training this season. It only took him half a season to go from a defensive organizer to an all-around perimeter player with both offense and defense and excellent organizational skills. , the Lakers can achieve such an excellent record this season, he played a very important role in it and needs special attention~"
Speaking of this, Sanders looked at Chauncey Billups:" Chauncey, I leave it to you. Fight him physically during the offense. This is his weakness.
"Got it~" Billups nodded seriously.
Seeing this, Sanders was very relieved.
As the core of this team, Billups has a big heart and a cautious style that never underestimates his opponents. The key is The performance at every moment was even more impressive. Sanders expressed his relief when Chen Hao was handed over to him.
Later, Sanders briefly analyzed some other points that the Lakers needed to pay attention to.
In his opinion, this Lakers team only has Kobe, and Chen Hao is the most threatening. Facing the best defensive player, Odom, with his erratic personal state, it is difficult to perform ~
As for the Lakers' other people.....They're just a bunch of average role players, they really don't need to pay attention to anything.
At the same time, the Lakers are also analyzing the Pistons' lineup.
To be honest, the starting five of this Pistons team is completely a combination of five All-Star players. Not only is the starting lineup excellent, but the bench also includes Antonio McDyess and Tony Delk..
It is really a difficult opponent to deal with.
The Pistons' defense was originally at the top level in the league. Although the overall defensive intensity has dropped a bit this season, it is still at the top level in the league. They only allow their opponents to score 90.2 points in each game, while they are able to score 96 points.
But compared to the past, this Pistons team has stronger offensive capabilities while maintaining most of its defensive capabilities, making it even more difficult to guard against!
It was already a formidable opponent, but now the threat has become even greater. It is really difficult for the Lakers to win this crucial battle.
After thinking carefully for a long time, Phil Jackson didn't have any good solutions. He could only try his best to analyze the Pistons' strong points in each position. As for the rest, it depends on the players' state and performance on the court.
His eyes wandered around the various players, and Phil Jackson finally fixed his sights on Chen Hao and Kobe.
On the basketball court, the most powerful player!
At the beginning of the season, Chen Hao could only be regarded as the team's third-leading player, but now that the new season is about to pass half, in terms of performance and contribution alone, Chen Hao has undoubtedly surpassed Odom. Even if he is the second in charge, he will not be able to pass.
As the only stable player in the team that can be relied upon, Phil Jackson has high expectations for Chen Hao.
Sensing the earnest gaze of his head coach, Chen Hao nodded to express his understanding.
His mission in this game is undoubtedly to fight Billups!
If the Pistons' core combination can be restricted, their probability of winning can be increased by at least 20%!
But the difficulty is undoubtedly very high, and the result can only be known after a real fight.
In this way, this nationally broadcast and highly anticipated game has begun.
As the visiting team, the Lakers took the lead and were greeted by a tsunami of boos and abuse from Pistons fans, which almost shattered their eardrums.
As one of the few devils away games in the league, Chen Hao deeply felt the pressure of playing in this stadium, as well as the deep malice. These guys almost tried to make them stupid with boos. Players with poorer psychological quality may directly You will be scared out of your wits.
Just like Bynum, the youngest member of the team, even though this guy looks tall and powerful, he is obviously timid now and doesn't even dare to look at Pistons fans.
Kobe, on the other hand, was as calm as ever, and his disdainful gaze was very reassuring.
Soon, all members of the Lakers team came out. Under the light, Chen Hao, who was standing in the center of the court, could clearly see the ferocious eyes of the fans and spectators. He felt as if he was going to kill them. Kobe's words came out in time. come over.....
"Don't worry, they don't dare to mess around, and all they can do is be incompetent and furious in the audience. When we win the game, they will all shut up.~"
"It's up to you. As long as you can score 50 points in this game, we should be able to win~" Chen Hao teased.
Unexpectedly, Kobe took it seriously. He turned his head and said seriously:"This is what I'm asking for. I will try my best to satisfy you. If I really score 50 points and you fail to help me win this game, help me pick up the moon.~"
"Forehead......"
Looking at Kobe's face that refused to refuse, Chen Hao shrugged:"Okay, the premise is that you can score 50 points."~"
"That's it.
Facing the wild boos from the audience, Kobe looked firm.
Seeing this, Chen Hao smiled faintly and said to himself in a very low voice:"It seems that this competition is quite busy. I don't know if the small goal of 10,000 meters can be completed in this competition. I can't run to death." Masked Man......I don’t know who of the two of us can run better~"
At the same time, all members of the home team came out one after another, and the Little Caesars Arena, which was originally like a hell on earth, suddenly turned into a paradise, with endless cheers, filling the entire arena. Everyone couldn't help but wonder whether what they had just experienced was the same arena.
Soon, all the members of the home team had finished playing, and the players on both sides were in high spirits during the confrontation.
As the two teams with the top two records in the league The team, whether it is the Lakers or the Pistons, will undoubtedly try their best to win the game!
During the warm-up period, the two sides did not communicate at all. They were all warming up quietly in their own half, as if they were before the storm. The general calmness caused the fans at the scene to become nervous.
In such a sense of urgency, the warm-up phase quickly ended. After the head coaches of both sides emphasized the final tactics and mobilized their fighting spirit, they sent out the starting players. field.
The Lakers have sent out a starting lineup of Kwame Brown + Chris Mihm + Odom + Bi + Chen Hao. This is also the strongest lineup that the team can currently field. On the other hand, the Pistons , the starting five are undoubtedly more dazzling.
Center: Roaring God ~ Sid Wallace, height 211m
Power forward: Big Ben ~ Ben Wallace, height 206cm (including hair style)
Small forward: Little Prince ~ Sean ·Prince, 206cm tall shooting guard: Mask Man ~ Richard Hamilton, 198cm tall point guard: Mr. Key ~ Chauncey Billups, 191cm tall
The lineup is not weak, and the overall height is not inferior to On the Lakers' side, their strong defensive ability is even more threatening. It is a huge challenge for the Lakers! The players on both sides quickly took their positions and looked at each other. The whistle indicating the start of the game soon came. It's ringing!
