After defeating the Trail Blazers, the Lakers flew back to Los Angeles that night.
Then, everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
After all, the new season starts with back-to-back starts, and the game will not be played until November 2.
On the 1st, there is no need to train and just take a day off.
On the 2nd, we conducted adaptive training in the morning and waited for the game in the evening.
When the Lakers players were training, they were talking and laughing, and their faces were obviously very relaxed.
The problem is that the next opponent is the Pistons, and there is no one in the team who can play.
In the 08/09 season, the Pistons misjudged Billups' value and traded him with Iverson.
In this transaction, the Pistons did not consider it from a competitive perspective. They thought about how to use Iverson's popularity to attract fans into the stadium and sell more tickets.
It is inevitable that cities with heavy steel industry will be ruined. The Pistons are just trying to make money, so this is not shabby.
Well, if Iverson cannot be traded, their target will still be Tracy McGrady.
It's a pity that the Rockets didn't take a fancy to the Pistons' bargaining chip. Moreover, McGrady was injured after just fighting for the team and immediately traded McGrady, which seemed cold-blooded.
That's too far.
Among the Pistons' top five, Billups is the brains. His dealing and three-point shooting can attack the space and leave the stage for Hamilton to "run".
Being able to allow Prince's air cuts and jump shots to attack will be more lethal and energy-saving, so that he can focus on defense.
Even if Ben and Rasheed Wallace are old and only need to be updated and strengthened inside, the Pistons' offensive system is still very competitive.
It's nothing more than the defensive end, which needs to be solved more by personal ability. There is no problem in getting tickets for the playoffs.
When the Pistons' offensive brain was replaced by Iverson, Hamilton was the first to be in trouble.
His wretched flow, coupled with running, catching and jumping style, was immediately frozen by Iverson's hard-hitting breakthrough flow.
The picture on the court will be that Hamilton keeps running back, cutting air, looking for screens, finally running out of space, and then, unable to catch the basketball, Iverson dribbles the ball, all eyes are on the basket, he One person can solve the offensive problem.
Then comes the defense. Iverson needs four guarantees and one, and Hamilton actually needs someone to protect him.
The result is one AM and one FM, and no one likes the Channel!
Ai: I can change the channel!
Han: Go back to your old ways!
Ai, sneered: I have never heard of superstars playing as substitutes, and I have never heard of Olympic members, All-Star starters, regular season MVPs, scoring champions and first team members playing as substitutes.
Pistons: Hey, you've heard it by now.
This transaction ended with the death of superstar Iverson, and the Pistons changed from a strong team to a weak team.
According to normal operation, the Pistons should completely get rid of the Pistons Five and try their best to destroy them so that they can choose the cornerstone with superstar resources to rebuild.
However, the Pistons have made it clear that they are afraid that their record will be too poor and their already plummeting tickets will continue to decline; and because their strength is too poor and they are not competitive, they will not be able to get tickets to the playoffs. If their record is not bad enough, they will not be able to get tickets. To the higher draft picks, neither end is reached.
In addition, the Pistons have such a bad reputation that no superstar is willing to wade into the muddy waters of this team.
November 2, night, Staples Center Arena.
The Pistons challenged the Lakers away from home. After the warm-up, they put together an unremarkable starting lineup.
Greg Monroe, Prince, Jason Markhill, Rodney Stuckey, Brandon Knight.
The Lakers ranked Gasol, Artest, Su Bei, Kobe and Paul.
Once upon a time, the Lakers' first-generation F4 became a joke because of the Pistons.
Once upon a time, the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills made Artest completely fall out of favor in the league, and he no longer had the chance to become an All-Star or even the boss of a team.
For this reason, the name Artest was changed.
There are several more decades in life, and these things have not yet passed ten years, and it is the time to take revenge.
At the beginning of the game, Kobe Bryant took the ball and killed Starkey. The Pistons' crown prince used a pull-up fadeaway jumper and shot through Starkey's five-finger mountain, making the score 2+1.
Artest turned into a beast, took out the crab steps, and kept charging into the battle. There were also three good students, student cadres... no, his body was in serious decline. He was as unstoppable as a murderous god.
Except for the little prince Prince, the other players on the Pistons team are very confused.
As for that?
Are the Lakers crazy?
How do you play with the intensity and attitude you need to play in the finals?
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
…
In the first quarter, the Pistons put on a blacksmith show to suppress the shock.
The Lakers, led by Kobe Bryant and Artest, would not tolerate the Pistons. They attacked the Pistons hard on both offense and defense.
Kobe is even more confident, and even the problem of inaccurate three-point shooting has been cured.
Artest also went crazy with convulsions. Shooting was not something he was good at, but he was always good at it.
Su Bei's offense was rough, and they shot whenever they could. Without a chance, they focused on defense and picked Prince as an opponent to hurt each other.
“The game was spent!!
The Pistons are too inexperienced.
Hong Kong, before the Lakers tried their best, the Pistons fell flat, and it was nothing..."
After the first quarter, the score was 36 to 13, and the Lakers had a one-sided 23-point advantage.
Puslin was defended by Su Bei and made 1 of 5 shots.
Brandon Knight was 0-for-5 against Paul.
Stuckey was defended by Kobe and was 0 for 2.
Monroe was defended by Gasol and went 1-for-3.
The Pistons couldn't attack, and they couldn't defend!
Kobe made 5 of 6, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 12 points in a single quarter. This is the most terrifying thing about Kobe. The most terrifying thing is that Kobe also sent 5 assists. Are you afraid?
Artest made 4 of 4, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, and 11 points in a single quarter, which was equally terrifying.
Coupled with Gasol's 3-for-4 and Subei's 1-for-1 three-pointer... the Lakers played extremely efficiently. In just one quarter, they are likely to take away the game.
Not even possible, but certain.
After all, Paul and Su Bei didn't even exert their strength!
Finally, the Pistons knew numbers very well. They were beaten in the first quarter and then fell flat.
No matter how rude and unforgiving the Lakers are, they can't suffer a 58-year-old tragedy, right?
Although the Lakers had the strength to cause this tragedy with the help of 23 points in the first quarter, they still couldn't figure out how could any team lose so miserably?
Wouldn't you use force to destroy people?
With the Lakers aiming for a championship, can they accept the cost of star injuries?
As for losing and losing?
First of all, you are not a human being!
Even if they are individuals, they are still ruthless people, just each other.
The Pistons were flat, and the Lakers were unforgiving.
In the next three quarters, the two sides went through a formality.
Buzz—!
As the buzzer sounded, the red light sounded, and the game time was over.
The score was 81 to 128. The Lakers did not cause a 58-year-old tragedy, but they still slaughtered the Pistons with an AK47, extending their winning streak to three games.
Even if the Lakers are willing to let the water go, they can't afford the Pistons to sink into the water and drown themselves.
Kobe Bryant scored 21 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds, Artest had 22 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds, and Gasol had 20 points and 5 rebounds.
Su Bei had 19 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds, Paul had 17 points and 13 assists...
In other words, what affects the player's data is not only the offensive efficiency, but also the opponent's incompetence.
The core players of the Lakers couldn't get excited at all when their opponent was lying flat and didn't struggle or call for help.
…
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it’s the 4th, the Lakers game day.
Staples Center Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the Lakers' home court ushered in a challenge from the Jazz.
In the 10/11 season, the Jazz officially entered a rebuilding mode after sending away core player Deron Williams and main players Kirilenko and Okur.
Coach Sloan, who has coached for more than 20 years, also ended his coaching career.
Under new coach Tyrone Corbin, the Jazz's rebuild is going very well.
After all, with Energy Solutions Arena, the home of the Plateau Devils, the core competitiveness of this Jazz team has not been lost.
The Jazz played 3 games at the beginning of the new season, with 1 win and 2 losses. The record seems to be poor, but that is because the Jazz have two away games and only one home game.
If the home and away games were swapped, it would most likely be 2 wins and 1 loss.
This team is so evil. The winning equation only uses altitude sickness to bully other teams.
If their away record is still poor, they have the potential to touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals.
During warm-ups, Kobe and Al Jefferson chatted for half a dime.
Anything more is disrespectful to Kobe. After all, the Jazz have no king in the mountain, and monkeys are the king.
With Al Jefferson's cards, he was not qualified to talk to Kobe.
Paul chatted with Marvin Williams a few times. After all, they both debuted in 2005, so he still had to give him this favor.
Su Bei didn't join in the fun. He debuted in 2005, but he was only a second-round pick and had nothing to talk about.
At this time, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Jazz's starting five are Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap, Marvin Williams, Gordon Hayward, and Mo Williams.
The Lakers' starting five are Gasol, Jordan Hill, Su Bei, Kobe and Paul.
This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio, with Barkley and Kenny Smith providing commentary.
“To be honest, the Jazz’s starting lineup is good!
Momo has entered the All-Star lineup, and both Millsap and Jefferson have All-Star qualifications.
As for Marvin Williams, as the second pick in 2005, the data is not worthy of this pick, but he is a top 3D team, which cannot be reflected by the data.
Hayward was a lottery pick in 2010. This season is his third year, and he also shows his All-Star talent.
If I had to guess a winning percentage for the two teams, I hope it would be 28-80.
Jazz two, Lakers eight.
The Jazz's cards are good, but their combat effectiveness at home and away is two-dimensional.
If it were the home game of the Jazz, I would guess it would be 6-4, and it would be the Jazz at 6 and the Lakers at 4.
But the Jazz are playing away from home, so let’s win if we lose less! "
“Indeed, the Jazz are a bug on the road, and this is recognized by the league.
Their bottom line is that there is no bottom line. Any team can lose. Without a plateau home court, they won't be able to play. I don't know if this Jazz team is really weak? Still really weak..."
The game begins!
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high in the air. Gasol defeated the 2.08-meter Iverson and won the ball for the Lakers' first attack.
Su Bei quickly rushed to the frontcourt and was followed by Hayward.
Marvin Williams keeps up with Kobe.
"Paul takes the ball to the top arc, let's see how he plays?
Oops, he didn't hand the basketball to Kobe after halftime, but passed it to Gasol who was pulled up to the high post. Then he cut outside and made a change of position with Su Bei, bringing the 183 talent that Mo Bu passed to In front of Jiangsu Province.
Both are 183, why should the defensive Tianfu bully the defensive Tianfu?
Perhaps Paul knows Mo Williams best!
Gasol smashed the basketball out. Su Bei caught the ball and immediately lifted it up. Ignoring Mo Williams' block, he raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."
With a talent of 183, in front of Su Bei's 2-meter height, it was just a question to get points. You could only bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol had no bullets.
Swish——!
"pretty!!
Su Bei has the first shot! !
Easily giving the Lakers the lead.
Mo Williams has no choice but to attack Su Bei and return it..."
0 to 3! !
Off the field, coach Tyrone Corbin had a headache, but there was nothing he could do.
The Jazz not only have a problem with the height of the point guard, but also with the height of the interior line.
The two top wings, Marvin Williams and Hayward, can use zone defense to wipe Mo Williams's butt, but this Lakers team is simply a match for the Jazz.
To break the zone defense, rely on support inside and three-pointers outside.
However, the Lakers have Gasol and Su Bei. They stay on the same team and have unparalleled support and three-pointers. You still have a zone defense!
