Chapter 675 History of the Lakers
On the way back to the locker room, Kobe stopped Ge Feng and was about to go back to take a shower.
Ge Feng turned his head and looked at Kobe suspiciously.
"The team is discussing to get one of Joshua or Whiteside. How do you think we should choose?" Kobe asked Ge Feng such a question.
Ge Feng was stunned for a moment, then pointed to his nose in doubt: "Me?"
Kobe nodded resolutely.
"Yes, I want to hear your opinion."
Ge Feng was a little surprised.
Under normal circumstances, the coaching staff of the team will definitely not disclose this kind of news to the players.
But since Kobe told himself the news, it shows that Kobe really trusts himself.
Ge Feng thought for a while, and said seriously: "If it were me, I would choose Joshua. Of course, I made this choice not just because we are friends."
Kobe curled his lips and signaled Ge Feng to continue.
"Whiteside is old, but Joshua is still young. Another point is that the contracts of these two people are not at the same level."
Ge Feng didn't explain too much.
This kind of problem, the Lakers' management must have considered it more comprehensively than him.
If he said too much, it would be ridiculous.
Ge Feng just picked the most important part and said it when Kobe wanted to continue asking.
After listening to Kobe, he nodded again and again, gave Ge Feng a thumbs up, and then quickly disappeared in the player tunnel.
As Kobe's temptation to Ge Feng gradually deepened, Kobe's heart became more and more satisfied with Ge Feng.
Ge Feng's skills, character, golf quotient, and emotional intelligence are nothing to say.
If such a player is not worthy of the Lakers management entrusting him with the future, then there are really few players in this world who are qualified to take over the Lakers, the giant ship of the NBA, from Kobe!
The Lakers have achieved a good record of 6 wins and 4 wins during these days.
Despite this record, it is far less eye-catching than the Lakers' 30-game winning streak at the start of the game.
But you must know that this is the record achieved by the Lakers without Ge Feng and Davis.
The time is now in mid-January, and the Lakers have only lost four games since the start of the regular season.
Keeping this momentum going, Lakers fans were pleasantly surprised to find that this Lakers team may even have the best regular season record in team history.
The best record in NBA history for the Lakers is fixed at 69 wins and 13 losses.
That was the miracle the Lakers created when Sharman coached.
At that time, the Lakers' stars were Chamberlain and West.
Chamberlain and West teamed up to create the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, the longest winning streak in NBA history, and the NBA's best regular season record of 69 wins and 13 losses at the time.
Of course, with 69 wins and 13 losses, they can only rank third in the league now.
The league now has two more 70-win teams.
One is the Bulls dynasty led by Jordan, and the other is the Warriors dynasty led by Curry.
It is a pity that the Warriors were the only one of these three teams that did not become the final championship team in the year of 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season.
In 2016, the Warriors were reversed by the Cavaliers 1-3 in the finals. This may be the most unforgettable scar in the Warriors' life.
Speaking of the current situation, the regular season is halfway through, and the Lakers have 35 wins and 4 losses, ranking first in the league.
Until this time, fans didn't realize how sharp ESPN columnist Pelton's vision was.
He is the first expert to boldly predict that the Lakers will rank first in the league before the start of the regular season.
For this reason, Pelton was once criticized by fans for doubting his life.
However, as the schedule gradually deepened, fans felt more and more that they had misunderstood Pelton.
Sure enough, the truth will always be in the hands of a few.
The strength shown by the Lakers in the new season, it seems that the Lakers are going directly to the best record in team history.
For the rest of January, the Lakers didn't disappoint Los Angeles fans either.
On January 1, the Lakers challenged the Jazz away.
The depth of the Jazz's lineup is quite good. Although Donovan Mitchell played well and caused considerable trouble for the Lakers, the Lakers still beat their opponents at the last moment and ushered in three consecutive victories.
Relying on the outstanding performance of Mitchell and Gobert, the Jazz stubbornly stalemate with the Lakers until the last minute.
However, Ge Feng's title of king of the last quarter was not blown out.
In the last 16 seconds, Ge Feng once again showed his killer temperament. He made a three-pointer on the catch and shot, helping the Lakers overtake the Jazz by 1 point.
Ge Feng made a three-pointer, leaving the Jazz with only 4.7 seconds left.
The Jazz didn't take a timeout.
With Mitchell's last hit and a super-long three-pointer missed the basket, the Lakers narrowly beat the Utah Jazz by 1 point in the away game, ushering in a three-game winning streak.
In terms of statistics, Ge Feng scored a game-high 37 points, with 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Schroeder scored 22 points, and Harrell scored 18 points. A total of five Lakers scored in double figures, struggling to win a victory from the Jazz.
On January 1, the Lakers ushered in the Eastern powerhouse team, the Philadelphia 22ers, at home.
There seems to be something wrong with the 76ers' locker room.
As Simmons progresses more and more rapidly, the status of the 76ers boss Embiid has been challenged unprecedentedly.
Embiid is a very traditional center, while Simmons is a forward in the small ball era.
Simmons and Embiid have worked together for so many years, and many fans have gradually begun to realize that Simmons and Embiid are not in sync.
The two of them belong to two eras and are completely different types of players.
The 76ers seem to realize this too.
At present, the 76ers management is actively looking for countermeasures, trying to let Simmons and Embiid complete the run-in.
But in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that it will be a matter of time before Simmons and the 76ers part ways.
Embiid is the cornerstone of the 76ers' team. This is a decision that has been made since 2014.
The current lineup of the 76ers is completely built around Embiid.
Moreover, Embiid's age is only two years older than Simmons.
Taking these factors into consideration, it is unlikely that the 76ers will trade Embiid.
The price of trading Embiid is too high.
If the 76ers want to trade Embiid, they must replace all the role players of the entire team in order to make up for the losses caused by the trade of Embiid.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the 76ers will trade Simmons by signing first and then changing, and then help Embiid hire more suitable helpers.
Coincidentally, the end of this season happens to be Simmons' contract year.
Simmons also wants to take advantage of this season to make his next contract more valuable.
Simmons has been outstanding this season.
Averaged 29.9 points, 7.8 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, which is the answer sheet Simmons handed over to the 76ers.
Based on this data alone, Simmons is eligible to rank in the top ten in the league.
Simmons is going to give the 76ers exam questions in turn.
Based on Simmons' wonderful performance this season, the 76ers will definitely be very reluctant to let him go.
At that time, it is really hard to say who will stay between Simmons and Embiid.
