Kobe and Ao Pang just glanced at each other before the game started, and the result was this glance. The two of them became more and more angry as they looked at each other, swearing, and then the voices got louder and louder, and they began to exchange curses in the air.
The referee's whistle sounded, which ended the scolding between the two. The game began, and the starting players of both sides began to take the field.
Auntie was too short and couldn't jump the ball, so she had to let McGrady jump, but she couldn't beat O'Pang.
O'Pang, who usually just steps up and pounces on the jump ball, worked extra hard tonight. It was obvious that he really wanted to beat Kobe.
At the same time, O'Brien also knows that tonight is an excellent opportunity to beat Kobe. When the Wizards are in their prime, with the strength of the Lakers, there will be no match for the Wizards.
The Lakers also made a significant lineup adjustment this season. They took out Eddie Jones and exchanged it from the Hornets for Glen Rice, the queen bee with better shooting ability.
Under normal circumstances, the Lakers also made this trade this season, but the reason for the trade was that Kobe had grown up and overlapped with Jones' position. They simply traded Jones for small forward Rice, who can play off the ball.
After Lin Yu crossed over, the Lakers did not have Kobe, but they still made this deal. The reason was that the Lakers lacked offensive firepower from the outside, especially the ability to shoot from long range, so they replaced Jones, who was good at both offense and defense, with a stronger offense but Rice, the long-range shooting king, is slightly weaker defensively.
That’s right, Glenn Rice’s nickname is the King of Long-Range Shooting. You don’t need to think about it to know that this is definitely a nickname unique to China. In other words, this nickname is very Zhang Weiping’s personal characteristics. In all likelihood, it is Zhang Weiping who explains Lakers games. called out when.
The current starting lineup of the Lakers is Ou Pang, Huo Ershu, Rice, Mobley plus Fisher, and there is Rodman on the bench.
Among them, Mobley was acquired by the Lakers in a trade with the Heat for Madman Fan. After Riley was tricked by Lin Yu and Tim Hardaway was taken away, he dreamed of a point guard. It just so happened that the Lakers wanted to improve the strength of the second position. , the two teams hit it off.
It's a win-win deal.
This lineup actually looks like a king. The Lakers have spent a huge price to make a difference this season.
After Fisher advanced to the frontcourt, he remembered Rambis's pre-game tactical arrangement and quickly lobbed the ball to O'Fatty under the basket.
The Wizards lineup is super short. Any coach facing this lineup will make the same arrangement as Rambis. Firstly, it is difficult for this short lineup to prevent lobs, and secondly, it is for O'Brien to catch the ball under the basket. The ball, no one can stop him from dunking at the basket.
Unfortunately, Rambis still miscalculated one thing, and that was McGrady's mobility and jumping ability.
When the little fish Fisher passed the lob, McGrady was already moving. The aunt under the basket used all her strength to hit Ao Pang. Even though he couldn't push Ao Pang because of his tonnage disadvantage, But at least it can hinder Ao Pang's movement.
Before O'Pang received the lob, McGrady had already taken the first step and caught the pass from mid-air.
McGrady, who had just landed, immediately passed the ball to Kobe.
Kobe conducted a second pass and passed it to Nash.
Next, I saw the five Wizards rushing towards the frontcourt like a pack of hunting wolves.
Nash assisted Kobe in the frontcourt and scored two points.
After Kobe Bryant scored, O'Brien hadn't even reached the three-point line in the frontcourt.
In fact, O'Pang's speed is not slow, but it doesn't matter who he scores compared to. His speed is relatively first-rate among centers, but how can he compare with these top guards? And with O'Pang's tonnage, if he charges at extremely high speed , which consumes a lot of physical energy, so it is impossible for Ao Pang to run with all his strength unless he has to.
It was the Lakers' offensive round again. Fisher, a fisherman, saw that McGrady had been staring at his passing movements and was frightened. He had seen how Big Ben and Webber dealt with O'Fatty back then.
Although the Wizards are now without Ben and Webber, Auntie and Tracy McGrady's handling of O'Pang is actually very similar.
The little fish Fisher didn't dare to pass the lob rashly, so he could only slowly look for opportunities.
After spending more than ten seconds, he really couldn't find a chance and simply passed the ball to Rice.
Facing Bowen's defense, Riley was also quite wary. He was afraid that Bowen would suddenly give him a kick.
The three-point shot missed, and the backboard collapsed far away, and was grabbed by Kobe.
The Wizards once again launched a wolfpack attack, giving O'Brien no chance to run to the basket in the frontcourt. This time, Nash and McGrady completed the aerial connection. McGrady received Nash's pass in mid-air and dunked hard to block the opponent. Mobley in front of him.
Lin Yu, who was sitting on the sidelines, felt relieved that his tactics were effective. Although he might not be able to beat the Lakers, at least it wouldn't be such an ugly loss.
"Qiao, I suddenly remembered something. Weren't you also a member of the 76ers before? You were also a teammate of Barkley and Dr. J. Why are you so resentful of Cheeks?"
"Surely you don't hate Cheeks because he pinched Bird's head?"
Lin Yu was sitting on the sidelines with nothing to do, so he just started chatting with Lao Qiao. He brought up this topic, of course, not because he wanted to drink, but mainly because he wanted to talk in depth and gossip about the story between him and Rambis. .
The last time the two talked about the Philadelphia 76ers, Lin Yu forgot that Lao Qiao was also a member of them.
"Ahem, I really can't hide anything from you."
"When I was traded out of the Philadelphia 76ers, it was this kid's bad idea."
Old Joe looked embarrassed and said that he was from Philadelphia and naturally wanted to stay and play in Philadelphia. After being traded out, he had a hard time and naturally didn't like Cheeks very much.
However, his attitude towards Cheeks was only dissatisfaction, not to the extent of hating Rambis.
"What about Rambis? I can understand Cheeks, but what's going on with Rambis?" Lin Yu found an opportunity to gossip further.
"Don't mention that damn guy. If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have been able to play in Europe."
Next, like Xianglin's wife, Lao Qiao told her tragic experience.
Old Joe is a bald black man, and Rambis is a white man with long flowing hair and gold-rimmed glasses. At first glance, these two people will definitely think that Rambis is an offensive power forward with a gorgeous style of play, while Old Joe is a defensive player. Coolie type power forward.
However, the opposite is true. Rambis is a defensive laborer.
The two had a conflict during the game, and it was just a small conflict. After the game, they exchanged a few words and it was over.
This kind of thing happens every day in the NBA, and no one takes it seriously.
It's a pity that Rambis is in a special situation. He is a Lakers player. He plays under Jerry West and is one of West's favorite players.
No senior executive would dislike a coolie who is willing to do dirty work.
This verbal spat led to Jerry West, who then made a fatal comment about Old Joe, "He was born to perform, not to win."
This sentence is really fatal. What competitive sports want is winning. Who would want a player who doesn’t want to win? Jerry West's words completely ended Joe's NBA career.
Lin Yu was stunned. He was also wondering why the logo man was so full that he ran to criticize Lao Qiao. There was such an unknown story about the situation.
For a moment, he felt a little sympathy for Lao Qiao. Isn't this a typical case of being bullied because he is weak and weak?
The Lakers are a super wealthy team, and West is a super star. He was extremely influential in that era. He was the logo of the NBA. However, Lao Qiao had no background and nothing. He had no way to fight back against the Lakers and could only leave his hometown sadly.
From this incident alone, we can see how important NBA connections are. If Lao Qiao had a backer like Lin Yu when he was a player, and Lin Yu stood up to help Lao Qiao in the ring in the face of the fatal comments from the logo man, then Lao Qiao would It's certainly not that miserable.
Lin Yu was secretly glad that his development path was not wrong. Although he did offend many people, his connections were still enough.
"Okay, Joe, let bygones be bygones."
"You are still young and can work in the coaching industry for a long time. Kobe Bryant has a bright future. Your future life will definitely be more handsome than Jerry West or Rambis."
Lin Yu patted Lao Qiao on the shoulder, smiled and comforted him.
Lao Qiao's eyes were dull and he was lost in thought. When Lin Yu saw this posture, he suddenly felt something bad. He had been in contact with Lao Qiao for almost two years and knew him very well. One look at his ghostly appearance and then think about it. Judging from the quarrel between Kobe and O'Fatty just now, we knew what Lao Qiao was planning.
Kobe Bryant hates O'Brien, and Joe hates the logo man and Rambis. These two guys have 10,000 reasons to bloodbath the Lakers.
"Wait, I advise you not to have such weird thoughts."
Lin Yu said quickly.
"Well, I don't. I have no plans to become the coach of the Lakers. I have no plans to drive Jerry out of the Lakers." Old Qiao's face turned red and he quickly denied it for three consecutive times.
"Damn it, you said no, your face is as red as a monkey's butt."
"You guys really dare to think about it. If you think about it any more, I'm afraid I'll have to take you to the Lakers."
Lin Yu gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
Lao Qiao laughed awkwardly, "Just think about it. It's not illegal to think about it. Don't you think if I really succeed, I will become the NBA version of the Count of Monte Cristo?"
"And you, my friend, are the noble Count of Monte Cristo, Father Faria!"
Lin Yu was completely defeated. The logo man still had a vicious eye. Old Qiao really loves to show off. He has already thought of packaging himself as the Count of Monte Cristo.
And I became what he said was the villain who had been in prison for half his life. How unlucky...
The Count of Monte Cristo took Father Faria's treasure to complete his revenge, and Old Qiao was preparing to take Lin Yu's treasure to take revenge.
What is Lin Yu's treasure? Not just the top players in hand.
…
The game on the field made the Wizards fans cheer incessantly. Although the game was extremely anxious, the Wizards had no obvious advantage.
But with such a broken formation, no disadvantage equals a huge advantage. The Lakers are also known as one of the most promising teams in the Western Conference to reach the finals this season.
The Wizards' remnant formation had already defeated another Spurs team before, but that game was so special. It relied on the epic performance of Tracy McGrady and Big Mom to win.
But tonight the Wizards did not perform beyond their normal performance. Relying on the five small players on the court, they were able to play evenly with the Lakers.
After playing for a few minutes, Lin Yu made a substitution, taking Bowen off and replacing him with Carter on the bench.
This substitution had an excellent effect. Carter received a pass from Nash as soon as he came on the court and completed a dunk.
Nash is the engine on the field, leading three of the four shooting guards. The Wizards lineup on the field is definitely not the strongest and most reasonable lineup, but it is definitely the most luxurious lineup.
O'Pang is very anxious. His statistics are actually not bad. If he plays against Auntie, he can't have a crushing advantage. How can he be called the most dominant center in history.
Even if the Wizards are already working hard to cut off his receiving route, the Lakers always have offensive rebounds in their offensive rounds. Even if they only rely on grabbing offensive rebounds for the second offense, O'Pang can still score efficiently.
However, the Wizards' wolf-pack tactics made it almost impossible for him to play any role on the defensive end. Most of the time in the frontcourt was the Lakers' four-on-five, or even three-on-five.
Ao Pang felt like he was a lion on the African savannah, and he was being besieged by a group of hyenas at the moment.
Rambis called a timeout, took Mobley away, and then put Rodman on the third position to continue to improve his own rebounding advantage. In addition, Rodman's defensive effect Definitely much better than Mobley.
This adjustment gave the Lakers an advantage.
However, this advantage did not last long. In the second half, O'Pang became a little unbearable. Unfortunately, he had to run again. He could not stand in his own half and watch the excitement.
Rambis had no choice but to take him off the field. Taking advantage of the time when O'Fatty was not on the court, the Wizards also had a climax.
The two sides chased each other until the last round, when Glenn Rice scored a three-pointer, the winner was decided. The Lakers narrowly defeated the Wizards with a score of 103:101.
The Wizards lost, but they didn't feel defeated. At least the fans at the scene were extremely satisfied with such a result, and they didn't see the slightest loss on Lin Yu's face.
After the game, Kobe and O'Brien couldn't help but have another quarrel. This has become the only way for the two to communicate.
Rambis walked up to Old Qiao.
"Qiao, you have a good son." Rambis said with a smile, his smile was bright, and he was a "good man" at first glance.
Old Joe glanced at him and said, "Jerry West also raised a good son."
Rambis looked stunned at first, and then realized that Old Qiao was calling himself Rambis's son.
"I'm not lucky enough to be his son."
"Qiao, if you have time, you are welcome to come to Los Angeles as a guest."
Lao Qiao glared at Rambis fiercely, then turned his head and ignored him.
After Rambis left, Lin Yu stepped forward and poked Lao Qiao with his arm, "Look at his demeanor, no wonder he is doing better than you."
"Having a good life is only temporary!" Old Qiao said bitterly.
Lin Yu did not dare to continue fanning the flames, for fear that Old Qiao would have the idea of becoming the NBA version of the Count of Monte Cristo.
This is already the tenth game after the massive suspension against the Jazz. Buss is finally back, and the Wizards' lineup is getting closer and closer to complete.
There are less than ten games left before the end of the regular season.
After the bus returned, Lin Yu received a call from the domestic basketball management center, asking Lin Yu if he wanted to lead the team in the next Asian Cup.
The Chinese men's basketball team is the absolute hegemon in Asia. According to the basketball management center, even if Lin Yu does not come to lead the team, they will definitely be able to win the championship steadily. However, they must still ask Lin Yu's opinion to show respect.
You must know that Lin Yu is still holding the position of coach of the men's basketball national team. It is undoubtedly disrespectful to Lin Yu to appoint other coaches to lead the Asian Cup without notifying him.
Lin Yu was overjoyed, he must go!
In the last World Championships, Lin Yu grabbed 10 points of charm and almost smiled.
Everyone is here to bring glory to the country, but Lin Yu is here to bring glory to the country, relying on the national team to maximize his charm and make a lot of money.
Lin Yu has made a detailed plan for this Asian Cup. Not only can he get 10 charm points, but he can get at least 5 points. Of course he has to go, and he can get at least 50 million US dollars. You fool. I won’t go.
He told the leaders at the Basketball Management Center that he planned to train new players this time, and took Daba and Dazhi to participate in the competition to ensure that they would win the championship. Then he would choose five young newcomers to take with him to see the world, and then see if he could find good ones among them. Miaozi will further enhance the depth and potential of the Chinese men's basketball team.
How did the leaders of the Basketball Center know about Lin Yu's little plan? After listening to Lin Yu's words, they were in awe of Lin Yu. What a great man. He was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han. He devoted himself to the development of Chinese basketball and died. already……
In the following schedule, the Wizards remained undefeated and ended the regular season with a perfect record.
It's perfect, but it's not perfect. After all, I still lost a lot of games before.
The Wizards' record this season is 41 wins and 9 losses, with a winning rate of 82%. If converted into 82 games, there are only 67 wins, which is much worse than the 73 wins last season.
But it doesn't matter, the Wizards are still the only team in the league that has won more than 40 games.
The eight playoff teams in the Eastern Conference are the Wizards, Pacers, Magic, Hawks, Bucks, Heat, Knicks and Pistons.
Lin Yu will face the Detroit Pistons led by Gentry in the first round.
In Gentry's view, this is an enemy's road trip. Unfortunately, in Lin Yu's view, Gentry is not worthy of being his enemy, and he doesn't even take Gentry seriously.
The last time he caught Gentry and gave him a scolding, Lin Yu thought he could beat the younger one to attract the older one. The older one was naturally Skywalker Thompson. Unfortunately, the old watch on the American side was not strong enough, and Skywalker did not help. Gentry said even one thing.
It may also be because Thompson's character is too low-key, and he rarely makes any public remarks after retiring.
Daba, Auntie, Tracy McGrady, Kobe and Nash, this is the starting lineup sent by Lin Yu.
Auntie's rebounding is much better than Dazhi's. Facing an extremely retro positional battle lineup like the Pistons, Auntie's effect will be better in the starting lineup.
Without any unexpected circumstances, the Wizards swept the Pistons with a score of 3:0 to advance.
Grant Hill performed very well. After three games, he actually had a clear advantage against McGrady, averaging 25 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists per game.
I have to say that Grant Hill, who is not injured, is indeed strong, and he is worthy of being the man who beat Jordan to become the vote king.
It's a pity that it's useless for him to be strong alone. After all, basketball is a game of five people. The Wizards' bus and aunt dominate the basket. In the three games, they averaged 17 more rebounds per game than the Pistons, including 8 offensive rebounds. This rebounding gap alone is enough to crush the Pistons.
Not to mention the excellent coordination between Nash and Bus, the Pistons' two big men, Bison Dele and Jerome Williams, couldn't restrict Bus at all.
After sweeping the Pistons and advancing, four or five days later, Lin Yu watched the Heat and Knicks being eliminated one after another.
Things have changed in the east.
In the previous two seasons, the Wizards rode on the corpses of the Heat and Knicks to reach the Eastern Conference Finals. Who would have thought that this season, the two teams would not even be qualified to become corpses.
