Son of God in the Madness of Basketball

30 wins and 3 losses!

This is the report card the Lakers handed in before the All-Star Game.

Although the back-to-back and Gasol's absence for special reasons led to a regretful defeat in the Western Conference matchup on the 24th, this did not affect the Lakers' perception of the fans.

"Strong, really too strong!"

Even if the Thunder beat the Lakers, their team and fans dare not think that they are capable of catching up with the Lakers.

Durant, who scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in that game, said after the game: "Although he won, it doesn't mean anything. This is an encouragement to us, but if you want to really challenge the Lakers, We still have a lot to do."

Westbrook is also rare to keep a low profile. He thinks they are just having better luck; "We scored a lot of magical goals tonight, and their shooting percentage was not good. Only Ji Feng and Kobe played a true level, so this is just an ordinary The regular season, that's it."

Harden, who became a surprise player in this game and scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists off the bench, also said: "They are a little tired. We guarded the home court. I did what I needed to do, but it cannot be denied that their lineup is not complete. It’s a pity that Gasol didn’t make it. I hope that we will be able to face off in a complete match next time."

It is not difficult to understand that the three minors have such an attitude. Although they won the first matchup of the season, they continued to stabilize the second place in the Western Conference. At the same time, they maintained tremendous pressure on the second Spurs, not to mention the growth of confidence. Since the Thunder team, the Lakers have only lost one game to the Thunder in the regular season, and that has to be pushed to last season. Not to mention two sweeps in the playoffs, allowing the Thunder and the young people to realize the cruelty of the league early. , So they can beat the Lakers, they are naturally very happy.

But in fact, not to mention Gasol's absence, the Lakers JKJ combination is not complete, just say that the other players on the field are also in very bad state, not because the Thunder defense is good, it is simply that they can't make a shot.

The reason is not difficult to guess. One is because the 23rd just played a game, which consumes a lot of time. This is the ninth time back-to-back in the season, ranking first among all the teams, and it consumes a lot of physical strength. After playing this game, it's finally the All-Star Weekend that they love to see, and the rest time is finally coming, which also makes their mood fluctuate.

Under such influence, the Lakers made 4 of 17 shots from the outside, and all the outside shooters felt nothing. This also allowed the Thunder to shrink the inside with confidence, causing Bynum to be lonely.

But even so, both Ji Feng and Kobe scored 5 points. Ji Feng scored 40 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and scored the 12th triple-double of the season. Kobe also performed well with 35 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals. JKJ did not see them for a long time. In the double-star mode, the hard steel Thunder has three fewer. Although the score is 4 points less, the other data is fully dominant, just because the teammates are really inadequate and finally regretted losing.

From this point, the Lakers are really worth it.

And Ji Feng didn't feel any special feeling after losing, just simply being unhappy about losing to his opponent, but as he said: "It's just one game, now it's time to enter All-Star time."

This season's schedule is very average. Just half of the game was played before the All-Star Game. The Lakers naturally became the half-time champion of the season, which also dilutes the unhappy loss to the Thunder.

The most important thing is that this year's Lakers team has a total of four people selected for the All-Star Game, which is the most in the past few years.

In addition to Ji Feng and Kobe as the starters, in the coaching vote a few days ago, the other two Lakers generals have also been selected as substitutes for the All-Star roster.

The first is Pau Gasol. Since entering the Lakers, he has also been selected to the All-Star four times in a row. This season, Gasol averaged 12.6 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, shooting 68% from the field and 88.6% free throws. The data is not counted. But the efficiency is very high, and his role in the Lakers is obvious to all. Although his condition is not very good this season, the coaches still put him in.

Lakers JKJ has once again joined the All-Star team.

This is not surprising. Among the older generation of power forwards in the Western Conference, Duncan has declined significantly this season and is very low-key. Only Gasol can take a shot, which makes the Lakers happy. It is undoubtedly Bynum's selection.

As a former high school student hopeful star, Bynum undoubtedly carries the high expectations of the Lakers. However, in the past few seasons, Bynum's growth has not been smooth, except for his half glass man attribute that allows him to rest from time to time. In addition to the month's problem, his brain problem is the most serious.

This topic has been mentioned in the first few hundred chapters, so I won't repeat it here. In general, Bynum has not achieved people's hopes.

It’s just that all of this has changed when Ji Feng came. After several seasons of Ji Feng, inside or outside, Bynum’s attitude has improved a lot. The most direct manifestation is that the court has become a lot more stable. , Off the court has become more amusing, but also more hard. In the summer of the past few years, UU reading www. uukanshu.com, he trains hard with the coach every day, and his growth is obvious to all.

This season Bynum averaged 16.5 points and 9.5 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, 65.4% shooting from the field and 82% free throws per game. Both reached the best of his career. He surpassed Gasol for the first time and became the Lakers' third scorer. And his frame protection ability, defensive ability and coping ability are all upgraded to a notch.

This kind of performance also made him very conspicuous in O'Neal, retired, and Yao Yao's retirement due to injury. In fact, there was the voice of Bynum being selected as an All-Star last season. This time it was just a matter of course.

Bynum himself is naturally very excited. This is the first time he has been selected in his career. This also means that he has finally become a star player. The significance of this is self-evident.

"Walk around! I'll treat tonight!" Bynum, who heard the news, finally broke out on the 24th. After the match, he dragged the Lakers up and down to a dinner party in Oklahoma. It's a celebration of my first All-Star selection.

Oh, in addition to Bynum, the Western Conference has three guards, Parker, Westbrook, and Nash, as well as Kevin Love and Marc Gasol. This is the first time the Gasol brothers have been selected to the All-Star team at the same time.

In the East, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh, and Andre Iguodala, Lore Deng, and Roy Heber, who have made the All-Star for the first time special.

The All-Star lineup was announced, and the lineups of other games were also unveiled. After the season peak match, they separated from the team and went to Orlando with three teammates.

For the All-Star this time, Ji Feng can be said to have no desires. After all, he did not participate in any individual competitions except for the main game. The coach invitation for the rookie game was also rejected by him. In a word, he is here this time. Soy sauce.
