Chapter 487 Lakers, can't wait!New version of Veteran Harvester!
The Philadelphia 76ers who defeated the Los Angeles Lakers once again opened their own winning streak valve. Originally, the overall strength of this wave of opponents after the Lakers was weak, but the state of Philadelphia is getting better and better. After crushing the Lakers, the Philadelphia 76ers soon achieved 10 consecutive victories again!
This time, the Philadelphia 76ers are already the only team in the league with a 10+ winning streak!
And the Los Angeles Lakers, who lost to the Philadelphia 76ers, seemed to have quietly taken away the domineering spirit bestowed by the public before!
After defeating two underdogs in a row, he was caught by the San Antonio Spurs and beat him up!
If the reason why the Philadelphia 76ers were able to win against the Lakers was because Han Mo's terrifying defensive ability gave the team the absolute initiative in the first two quarters, then the way the Spurs defeated the Lakers was more in line with public imagination!
The Spurs trailed the Lakers by 10 points in the first quarter, and the score was pulled to more than 15 points in the second quarter. However, when the game progressed to the third quarter, because the Lakers' rotation was too short, even with two super giants leading the team, the Spurs were still the same. You can crazily grab other points through the internal and external connections!
The gap between the grades of the Lakers players is too large!
For a team with strict military management like the Spurs, such a Lakers team can't be a big deal!
If losing to the Philadelphia 76ers, who have won three consecutive championships, is still within the acceptance range of the Lakers management, then losing to the San Antonio Spurs will really put the Lakers under too much pressure!
Although the slogan chanted by the Lakers this year is to win the championship, for the management, as long as they can enter the finals this year, everything is OK. With cornerstones like Kobe and Garnett, coupled with a big city like Los Angeles, it will attract everyone It is not difficult for road role players to cast!
But if you can't even beat the Spurs, it means you can't even get out of the West!
This is true for the Kobe-Garnett combination carefully crafted by the Lakers!
The higher you fly, the harder you fall!
Although the experts who had blown the Lakers before had only rested due to illness, the experts who had not commented on this before could not sit still:
"Building a championship team is by no means just spending a lot of money to recruit a few league super giants to win the championship. This requires a deep chemical reaction. Although Kobe and Garnett are strong, they are only strong. But it can't drive the teammates to become stronger together!"
"What? You say the Lakers' role players' stats have gotten better? Don't let the stats fool you. With the arrival of Garnett, the Lakers' young players have less to do. It's not for them in their early 20s. Good thing!"
"Although Odom, who was traded away, cannot be compared with Garnett in terms of strength, you can go and see his performance in the Timberwolves. Although his defense is not as good as Garnett, as a fourth position, his The shooting distance and organizational ability are better than Garnett!"
"If the Lakers can't win the championship, what awaits them will be the end of the entire management's firing. You must know that Old Buss is not a kind old man!"
Although these words were just random words made by experts on the Internet, they also shocked the management of the Lakers team into cold sweat...
"Everything else is false. The boss of the Lakers, Old Buss, Jerry Buss is definitely a ruthless man!"
It was he who ushered in O'Neal back then, and it was he who decided to drive away O'Neal and establish Kobe as the core!He was the one who decided to go all in on Garnett for the Lakers!
The old Bass had already let go of the deal before the deal: "My health is not very good, I hope the next flag will not make me wait too long!"
For the management of the Los Angeles Lakers this year, it is better to build a team with the strength to win the championship than to put all their eggs in one basket this year!
Although Kevin Garnett chose to cut his salary in the new contract renewed in 2004, his salary is still ranked fifth in the league!
And Kobe Bryant is not far behind, this year's salary has been ranked fourth in the league!
With two guys with the top five salaries in the league coming to a team, the salary pressure can be seen!
The Lakers also want to continue to spend a lot of money, but there is a luxury tax, and if they want to spend more money, this money is not so easy to spend!
Therefore, a better approach would be:
Waiting for next year to recruit a group of veterans who have never won a championship like the Philadelphia 76ers in previous years, but still have a certain combat effectiveness to fill in the gaps, so that they can win the championship next year!
You must know that these old guys who have everything except championships can win with just a veteran's basic salary!
And this is the key to making the team lineup thicker at the lowest cost!
Without the help of Oakley and Stockton for the first championship of the Philadelphia 76ers, even if they can win to the end, the difficulty will be doubled!
All the Lakers want to do is to imitate cats and tigers!
However, they forgot that they could wait, and the old Bass who made this desperate deal might not be able to wait!
If Old Bath doesn't want to wait any longer, all these managements will have to leave!
Obviously, these guys don't dare to bet on how much patience old Buss can have. After losing to the Spurs, he decisively began to send out invitations to veterans in the league!
Such an invitation is obviously effective!
The first to respond was Gary Payton, who was still dawdling with the Heat!
In the timeline where Han Mo was originally in, Gary Payton turned his head to the Heat after the F4 formed by the Lakers was defeated by the civilian Pistons, hugged Wade's thigh, and successfully won the coveted championship ring!
And in the current timeline, Gary Payton did join the Miami Heat as scheduled. Unexpectedly, the Miami Heat not only failed to win the championship, but were repeatedly beaten by Han Mo's Philadelphia 76ers!
Now even the core players O'Neal and Wade don't think there is any hope of rushing out of the East with their combination!
Payton, who has no chance of a championship, has long wanted to leave. His first goal is naturally the Philadelphia 76ers. However, the current Philadelphia point guard position has the talented Chris Paul, and he is still sitting on the bench. However, Eric Snow, who is much younger than Payton, asked Payton to play the third point guard to win the championship. Payton really can't stand this face!
Now the opportunity is coming!
