At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers showed an almost overwhelming advantage. Since Nash returned to fully control the ball, the Lakers' original offensive problems have been completely opened up, as if they were penetrated through the "Ren and Du meridians". The four kings are enough to handle everything. As for Wesley Johnson, it mainly depends on doing a good job of defense and then occasionally throwing empty baskets, which is enough.

The Wizards still underestimate the Lakers team now. Even if Ariza scored three three-pointers in this quarter, it would be useless. The Lakers showed their strength in all aspects. Gasol + Tang Qian succeeded in continuous inside attacks, and suddenly played the weak Wizards, who were complaining. Whether it was Marcin, Gotat or Trevo Booker, they all played very painfully. The defense was painful, not to mention the offense. The inside line without the ability to shoot outside, facing the double tower barrier of Tang Qian + Gasol, is a gift for food.

I can't get in at all!

Kobe on the outside is physically strong, so he beat John Wall to the defensive end. Wall has never tasted this kind of treatment since he entered the league. Because when he joined the league, he had been in the 10-11 season, and Kobe had already stepped down from the absolute peak. The physical limitations made him unable to concentrate on offense and defense as before. Therefore, the defense of No. 24 is getting bigger and bigger. Even if he has to defend, he will be tight at critical moments and cannot stick to the whole game as he is at the peak.

But this season, especially after Nash's comeback, is nothing more.

Kobe can 100% of his opponents on the defensive end, and this player with a long ratio of ball-holding and ball-holding is Kobe's favorite and most willing defense target. It's not a joke. If it weren't for Tang Qian this season, Kobe could probably compete for the honor of DPOY. With a comprehensive peak body and physical fitness + more than ten years of court experience, his defensive ability has also reached the top of his career.

This season, Wall is only at No. 1 with about 19+ points. It is really not enough to fight Kobe.

So at Staples Center, you will see a scene where No. 24 followed the Wizards No. 2 throughout the whole game, making the latter not feel comfortable in the whole game. It is even more dreamy to throw away the opponent with the ball. Wade can't even do it at the peak. What is he? Even if he calls a pick-and-roll, he can't call it every round. This will consume too much overall for the team and the offensive mode is easy to be understood.

Moreover, Wall's three-point and middle distance were very poor, and he did not improve until the 17-18 season. What else can you do if you want him to do in the 13-14 season?

Furthermore, this Wizards plays pick-and-roll, and its power is limited. First, whether it is Gotat or Trevo. Booker does not have the ability to pop up in the middle and long distances after pick-and-roll. Therefore, it is easy to be targeted, or even deliberately let go. Second, even if they do whatever they want to attack in the inside, they will probably not end up well. The Lakers' inside line is the most powerful area of ​​defense energy in the whole game. Gotat and Booker who are averaging 13+ per game and 6+ per game? Got in is probably what Los Angeles people hope most. The bones will be eaten up. Third, Wall's own offensive limitations are problematic. You have a poor basket, and after pick-and-roll, you can only take a large proportion of breakthrough and scoring, and that goes back to the starting point of the problem. The Lakers' basket basically cannot be played, and his condition is probably useless.

So Kobe strangled the Wizards' ace core to death by himself. He made mistakes in the middle and was intercepted by No. 24 and scored several defensive counterattacks, with a single fast break dunk.

35-25 in a single quarter, if it weren't for Ariza's three-pointers to save his life, the game would have been completely over.

But even so, I survived and could not see any hope of overtaking or winning.

92-74, the Lakers led by 18 points into the fourth quarter.

In the last quarter, the Lakers basically replaced the main players, leaving only some substitutes and Tang Qian on the field. The game ended, 109-99, the Lakers defeated their opponents 10 points and ushered in the 21st consecutive win of the season at home.

Kobe scored even fewer points in this game, only 31 points were scored, but he was not unhappy, because such a Lakers could allow him to see the opportunity to go to the top stage this season. Nash has scored 10 assists in this game. And because he established his lead early, none of the Lakers' "Four Heavenly Kings" played for more than 30 minutes. This loss and ease made D'Antoni a little excited after the game, sweeping away the tacit words of more than 60 games in the previous game.

There is only one reason for this change, and this is the team he wants to build.

Instead of "watching a show from the perspective of bystanders."

However, some media still attribute the Lakers' winnings to their opponents being too weak, and the Wizards are originally vulnerable.

This is a bit too much. No matter how weak the Wizards are, they are still the fifth team in the East. What does it mean to be vulnerable? If the playoff teams are called vulnerable, then what value and competitiveness in the East are there?

Kobe said in an interview after the game: Some media and media people just like nonsense/cow shit!

The thorn on No. 24 immediately dissatisfied some big experts and big reporters. Some of them jumped out and said publicly:

Please ask Kobe to take care of the Lakers’ affairs first! There are too many internal strife in the team, which is not a good thing!

At this time, Tang Qian + Gasol + Nash came out to refute the rumor:

People who like nonsense/cow shit like to nonsense, and it will be uncomfortable if they don’t do anything out of nothing!

Henry Abbott said:

The surface is glamorous! I don’t think the probability of the Lakers winning the championship this season has ever been higher!

This time Kobe + Nash + Gasol + Tang Qian said together:

There is no need for some outsiders to predict! He probably won’t even have the strength to shoot a three-pointer, right? LOL!!!

Henry Abbott said:

I hope you can really do it! I only talk about the facts!

It is normal to have a war of words. The Lakers have been the biggest concentration of saliva for ESPN since the new century. "O.K combination", "F4" and "New F4" are all hot topics for ESPN. Now it's the turn of "New F4". Besides, at the beginning of the season of the sci-fi season and the whole season, Tang Qian also has strong support. It would be strange if ESPN has a good attitude towards the Lakers.

But everything has to be spoken by facts, and Henry Abbott is right.

Competitive sports are not about singing or writing essays for competitions. This is an absolute fact that there is no subjectivity. If you win, you will win. You can’t even smear it.

On March 23, US time, the Lakers continued to play against the Orlando Magic at home. The Magic this season is even weaker. So far, it has only achieved 19 wins and 51 losses. There is definitely no hope of entering the playoffs. This is a team in the transitional stage. Currently, there is no All-Star All-Star team this season. The range has been expanded to 3 seasons, and the same is true. Only Jamill Nelson was selected as the All-Star substitute in the 2008-09 season. How long has it been? It's been 13-14 season now?

This is a game without much resistance. Even if the Orlando people are lightly equipped, it is useless. They were led by 18 points in the first half and finally returned with a 20-point defeat, with a season loss of 52 games.

22 consecutive wins!!! Although Kobe scored less than 40 points in this game again and only 35 points, his shooting percentage of more than 65% still made him smile and said: Sorry, Mr. Henry Abbott, we won again! I wonder when you can still speak stubbornly?

This is just the Orlando Magic!!! The team that is at the bottom of the East!!! I don’t think there is anything to be proud of!!!

Henry Abbott commented on Twitter, but in fact, he was praying constantly and cursing the Lakers to lose as soon as possible. Otherwise, his "empty white teeth" would be completely unconvincing in the face of victory.

When losing, fans may listen to the analysis of these great experts and reporters, but when winning... e.on~Who cares about so much? If you win, you will win! You can't change anything even if you are stupid.

On March 25, the Lakers' 70th game in the regular season was against the New York Knicks, which had plummeted this season.

Compared with the second in the Eastern Conference last season, Big Apple City has only 29 wins and 41 losses this season. Although this record is a little stronger than Orlando in the last game, it is still hopeless to enter the playoffs. Unless they win all the remaining games, there may be some possibility. Anthony seems to be put on a fire frame this season, and Knicks fans are full of disappointment and complaints about him.

Anthony also felt very wronged. He believed that the people of New York completely ignored the actual situation of the Knicks this season and the achievements he made last season, and kept scolding him, which made him feel very disrespected.

But this is a big city. Look at the Lakers. Even if Kobe doesn't play well, wouldn't he be criticized? After Kobe's Achilles tendon torn, how many people have sympathized with him more? Teams in big cities have advantages and disadvantages. More spotlight and exposure also mean more nitpicking and picking on the eggs. Anthony can't stand it, so why should he be the boss? He can't achieve anything in the future, so he can only go to other teams to hug him, which has a lot to do with his own personality of complaining and not being self-reflective.

For example, this season, just about a month after the start of the game, Anthony, the core main player, publicly complained to the New York media that he wanted to reduce his playing time. His reason was that he was worried that his playing time would be too long and his body would be unable to bear it and was easily injured. New York Melon said that if he could win the game for the team's victory, he would be willing to do this, but if it didn't work, he would not be willing to overdraw his body in vain.

But is this a matter? And what a bullshit excuse? As a top star, you have been spending tens of millions of dollars a year with the team. Is it still wrong to let you play? What does it mean to "if you can win the game, he will, or he will not"? Should this be the opposite? If you don't play, you will reduce your playing time. Will the team that is already struggling will be more difficult to win? There is no chance to win?

The new president, "Zen Master", Phil Jackson, took office a week ago. When it comes to his first question after taking office, "Zen Master" said: Kobe and Jordan will not make such excuses.

It should have been a typical motivational statement, but... this doesn't work for Anthony's side.

He just felt that the "Zen Master" was unkind from the beginning.

In fact, the "Zen Master" overestimates his influence on the stars. Of course, there is indeed no one he can't handle before. Whether it is Jordan, Kobe, Pippen, Rodman, O'Neal, etc., from the super giant in history to the thorns, he can be subdued by him, and the three armies can use their lives. However, there are always exceptions, Anthony is the first star Phil Jackson to be unable to handle.

"Zen Master" doesn't think so. He is too used to players obeying his words, so he ignores the difficulty of dealing with Anthony. He thinks that Anthony is eager to become a super giant and wants to get his own championship ring, so he will definitely bow to him. What's the truth? It's not. This is destined to be a tragedy.

Furthermore, Phil Jackson's approach of proactively stimulating players with the media is not suitable for the current league. He secretly told the local New York reporter that Anthony was just concerned about his shoulder injury that he had just recovered and was unwilling to be at risk of being injured again. As soon as the news came out, Anthony was furious. Although it was the truth, it still made the melon furry.

This will become more and more intense later. Anthony will eventually publicly express that he does not like to accept criticism publicly. If he wants to criticize, please say it privately. However, if he says it privately, he loses the meaning of the words "Zen Master" said. He wants to use the pressure from the outside world and the media to put pressure on the players and stimulate motivation, so the latter's answer is "Be generous in life."

Regarding this, Kobe even made a move and said, "Don't get too stubborn when dealing with Zen masters."

But Tang Qian understood that all this was in vain and Anthony couldn't listen.

At least for now, his so-called star self-esteem is still greater than his pursuit of the championship ring.

This is completely different from Jordan Kobe O'Neal back then.

Well, maybe it’s also the problem that they are not the same level of stars.

Compared with the top ten super giants in history, people like Anthony are simply a struggle.

Before this game, Anthony was interviewed publicly: He will win the remaining games in the future. The Knicks still have the possibility of entering the playoffs!

I just said it, and by the way, I also brought the Lakers a mouthful, meaning that I wanted to take the Lakers' "Sacrifice Flag".

This annoyed the four kings of the Lakers. Kobe took the lead in saying:

I still say the same thing, we will continue to win!

Gasol is a little more euphemistic:

I think the Knicks are a good team, but we should be stronger.

Nash said:

That's the Knicks' opinion, my opinion is that we will win.

Tang Qiandao:

Who can't speak loudly? ESPN expert Mr. Henry Abbott once said that competitive sports only look at the facts.

This repeated response made Anthony's face turn blue, but what's the use of refuting now? That damn Oriental center is not wrong, competitive sports, no results, no facts, what's the point.

No one wants to listen to bragging.
