Chapter 632
After the game, Kobe began to ask the players to reflect on themselves immediately.
Both Boyan and Schroeder lowered their heads in embarrassment.
What about nightclubs...
It's okay to play occasionally, but once you indulge too much, you may become a vegetative directly just like Odom.
The Lakers won the Nuggets, which is equivalent to proving their strength to the world.
Not only that, through the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets, the Lakers also let fans know more about the horror of Ge Feng.
When every Lakers player can throw the ball into the basket, Ge Feng is the pivot in the backcourt, constantly sending precise passes to Davis, Schroeder, and Bo Yang.
And when the Lakers players can't throw the ball into the basket, Ge Feng will use his sharp and chic scoring methods to make the opponent's scalp numb.
In short, for such a Lakers team, fans have every reason to believe that they can make history and become the team with the most championship trophies in the league.
Not only the fans think so, but even ESPN professional columnist Pelton predicts that the Lakers will lead the league. Doesn't this explain the problem?
After finishing the game against the powerful Nuggets, the Lakers went to visit their old neighbor, the Phoenix Suns.
Last season, the Suns ranked last in the Western Conference.
But don't underestimate the sun because of this, the West will always be the most crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the NBA.
The Suns only won one game less than the Trail Blazers last year, and the Trail Blazers were in the West last season, and they were also the worst team with a record last season.
The overall strength of the West is really strong. The strength of the West, parallel to the East, can almost lock the playoffs, or the middle and lower rankings.
Especially this year, the Thunder traded their own Paul to the Suns, and the Suns immediately have the possibility of hitting the playoffs.
The Suns' starting lineup this year is Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Dario Saric, Crowder and Deandre Ayton.
On paper, the Suns' defense is definitely stronger.
But all of this ultimately depends on the attendance rate of champion Lang Ayton.
The Suns have a large group of young rookies. From this point of view, the Pelicans, Mavericks and Grizzlies are still slightly better than the Suns.
However, the future of the Suns is not so bleak.
Especially in the new season, the Suns brought in the league's top point guard Chris Paul to train new players. I believe that in a few years, Booker, Ayton, and Bridges can all achieve rapid progress under Paul's guidance.
The Suns of the new season started with a record of 3 wins and 3 losses.
However, the Lakers' visit to Phoenix did not bring sunshine to the sun, but brought endless shadows.
In this game, the Suns and a group of young players barely survived halftime in the hands of the Lakers, and the point difference has reached 20 points.
In the end, the whole game was over, the Lakers did not encounter much resistance, and the Suns surrendered early.
The two sides started the fourth quarter and sat on the bench drinking water and chatting.
It seems that Kobe's lectures played an obvious role.
In the battle against the Suns, Bo Yang hit 3 three-pointers again and scored 13 points and 4 rebounds.
Schroeder is no longer weak. Facing the aging Paul, Schroeder takes advantage of his speed and frequently succeeds in singles. Paul can only shake his head and sigh secretly.
The Suns were beaten without temper by the Lakers.
But in this game, the only thing worth mentioning is that the tail of Paul's peak period is still not over.
Paul got a double-double of 18+11. He is the last shield of the Suns against the Lakers.
Paul fans can still see their idols, the queen bee, the captain and the light bulb, continue to be active in the NBA.
It's just a pity for Paul.
Obviously has the strength of the championship, but does not have the life of the championship.
In this regard, how similar Paul and Nash are.
After defeating the Suns, the Lakers extended their winning streak to 8 games.
Next, the Lakers will sit at home and continue to play against the Magic, Celtics, and Timberwolves.
The Magic have performed well since the start of the game, temporarily ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference.
However, according to scout analysis, as the schedule gradually deepens, the Magic will gradually fall out of the ranks of the playoffs.
The decline history of the Magic in the past ten years is one of the most classic decline processes in the NBA.
The Magic's management is eager for a championship and is willing to spend money to introduce stars to the lineup, but in terms of operations, the Magic's management has shown their short-sighted and short-sighted side.
The Magic likes to poach stars based on their popularity, but many times the poached stars cannot be integrated into the Magic system.
After the stars came to the Magic, they didn't play happily, and the Magic's management was eager for quick success, just wanting to win the championship in the shortest possible time.
Therefore, the Magic management will always dismantle the old lineup in a big way, destroying the continuity of the lineup and making it difficult for the stars and the Magic to run in.
Over the years, the Magic's record has gotten worse and worse.
Although the Magic occasionally has a series of outstanding players such as Gordon and Ucesic appear, but due to the narrow vision of the management, these outstanding players traded and fled, and eventually ended up as a refugee cave.
It is not difficult for the Lakers to beat such a Magic at home.
As usual, the Lakers worked hard in the first quarter, taking advantage of the inverted triangle tactics, allowing Davis to frequently smash the opponent's basket.
When the Magic's defense began to shrink, Ge Feng, Schroeder and Bo Yang scored three-pointers from the outside.
The Magic had little resistance and was taken away by the Lakers.
After defeating the Magic, the Lakers expanded their winning streak at the start of the new season to nine games.
After the Lakers won nine consecutive victories, the next most important goal is to see if the Lakers can stabilize and hit ten consecutive victories.
There is a very difficult hurdle between nine consecutive victories and ten consecutive victories.
In the long history of the NBA, 89% of the teams were terminated in front of ten consecutive victories.
The most critical reason for this, on the one hand, comes from the schedule, and on the other hand, it is also related to the players' own confidence.
When players are particularly concerned about ten consecutive victories, they are prone to problems such as distraction on the court, leading to being terminated by their opponents.
Another point is that according to the NBA schedule, it is rare for a team to meet multiple strong teams in a short period of time.
Such a schedule is not only to make the game more exciting, but also to protect the players.
After the Lakers won nine consecutive victories, the next opponent they encountered was the strongest competitor in team history-the Boston Celtics.
Who dares to say that this is just a coincidence?
Lakers VS Celtics, fans are more willing to believe that all this was arranged by Xiao Hua, that is, to let the Lakers face the Celtics again before the nine-game winning streak.
The history of grievances between the Lakers and the Celtics is clear to fans and friends.
As the two greatest teams in NBA history, the bridge between the giants cannot be concluded in one or two years of finals.
