Chapter 391: Shortened season is not easy to play

The normal 82 regular season games are compressed to 66 games, which is a tough test for all teams in the league.

In order to keep pace, there are multiple matches within a week, which makes many teams very tired.

The 76ers are considered good. After all, there are many young people. Look at the Spurs. The Spurs have only 3 wins and 3 losses in the first six games, and they can barely maintain a 50% win rate.

The defending champion Mavericks are even more unlucky. In the summer, the Mavericks' championship lineup disbanded. Kidd and Chandler left, which suddenly made the Mavericks lineup very problematic.

It’s not that they can’t, but without the point guard and center, the Mavericks have lost too much at once. Although they have Carter, Carter is also older. Are the Mavericks ready to rely on Nowitzki? Continue to win the championship with Carter?

The Mavericks also played 6 games, but the Mavericks only had a poor 2 wins and 4 losses. This result is really bad, especially as the Mavericks are still the defending champions. This bad start makes people think whether they are the same today. Ready to give up?

After winning the championship, there is no motivation?

In fact, the Mavericks are hard to say. A bunch of people in the team are getting older, and there are already championships in their hands, and the schedule is so dense. It can be said that the Mavericks can be like this. Son, I have done my best.

It's just that there is no one of them in the right time and place, how do you plan to win?

Dignified the defending champion last season, this season it is estimated that even the playoffs will hang!

The Lakers, who had high hopes before the start of the Western Conference, did not perform very well. After five games, the Lakers had only 3 wins and 2 losses, and the advantage was not obvious.

Especially in the game, Kobe and Howard didn't have enough calls, and there was no problem with the two singles, but they couldn't cooperate with each other.

Howard wants to play singles by himself. He feels that now except for Yao Ming, he can single out all centers in the league.

But in the Lakers, there are not so many singles opportunities for him. Howard is a star in the Magic and I like it, but the Lakers don't have this tactic!

The Lakers lineup, in fact, can't play a star all-round like the Magic, so even if Howard takes a position in the post, it's useless to get the ball in!

And Kobe originally needs the right to shoot, he can not control the ball, this is okay, as long as the final shot is given him enough phone will do.

This Howard just came to the first season, want to grab the right to shoot Kobe?

How is this possible!

Fortunately, the overall strength of the Lakers is good, so they won three games.

But the contradiction between Kobe and Howard has already begun, and if you don't pay attention, the two will definitely go wrong.

The Big Three Heat are very good. They started with five consecutive victories. Of course, it has something to do with the schedule. The first five opponents of the Big Three Heat are not strong. It seems that they want to win as much as possible now, even if they are tired later. I'm not afraid of having to adjust the lineup for reasons.

If you win more games now, you won’t be afraid of losing a few games in the future.

Like the 76ers, they are also tired. They have only finished a week or five of games and have to prepare for an away parade in the west.

And the first game of the road trip to the west was the Los Angeles Lakers!

This is also really fate, open the door first to play the Los Angeles Clippers, a week later personally go to the door to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia seems to be on the bar with Los Angeles this year!

In fact, the Lakers' lineup this year is not as good as last year on the whole.

In exchange for Howard, they lost Bynum and Artest, Odom also left the Lakers to go to the Mavericks, but is still recovering from injuries, it can be said that the Lakers suddenly lost the original strong inside.

Although Howard's arrival is indeed very good, the gap between one person and three people is still a bit big.

Therefore, the Lakers quickly signed Murphy for emergency use.

In those days, Shannon Brown left. Although Kobe was still the first shooting guard, the team's point guard combination was really uncomfortable.

Last season, the Lakers point guard team veteran Fisher and Steve Blake averaged only 10.6 points and 4.9 assists per game.

This off season, Fisher, who spent a long time with the Lakers, also left! This directly makes the Lakers' point guard weaker! Because they only have Blake as a point guard!

This is really unqualified. Although the point guard is not important in the Lakers' triangle tactical system, you can't be so bad, right?

Therefore, the Lakers have been looking for a point guard all summer, and this has led to rumors of a deal between them and the Hornets.

If they really got Paul, then there is no need to worry now.

The only starting point guard for the Lakers this year is Blake. To be honest, with such a dense schedule, he won't be tired.

What's more, this year Kobe and Howard both have the ball. As a point guard, it doesn't matter who is biased. Blake really feels so bitter.

But I heard that the Lakers are now preparing to grab a point guard who looks pretty good at the moment to fill the gap?

Han Miao knows their thoughts, and he also knows who the Lakers like.

The original Cavaliers point guard, Sessions.

It's not that Sessions is so good, but at least Sessions's offensive power is good enough, barely able to use it.

Not only the point guard, the loss of Artest, the loss of Odom, the Lakers small forward is also in a hurry, now only Matt Barnes is a serious small forward, Barnes is not young anymore, then I'm afraid that he is an iron man, and he will be exhausted even if he plays close to 40 minutes per game.

"Coach, how do I feel that the Lakers' lineup is no better than ours."

The distance from Philadelphia to Los Angeles is not short. On the plane, the 76ers will naturally discuss things with their coaches as usual.

"That's right, Dwight can't beat Yao. Although Kobe is great, the Lakers have him on the perimeter. We have Han, Gordon, and Andre. They only have Paul (Pau), but we can There are so many people hitting."

"You are floating!"

Although Stevens wants the team to maintain fighting spirit ~lightnovelpub.net~, he does not want this fighting spirit to become arrogant.

"If Kobe and Dwight join forces, then what we have to face is definitely an uphill battle! Even if we have Yao, it won't work!"

Stevens knows that there is only one reason why everyone underestimates the enemy, that is, the Lakers' strongest signing this year, Howard, can not beat his own signing Yao Ming.

One-on-one, this is of course no problem, but the Lakers have Kobe and Gasol to help him, so Howard is really likely to fight Yao Ming.

"Coach, that would have to work together with the two of them."

Iguodala is concerned about the recent situation of the Lakers, Kobe and Howard really do not call.

Of course, it may also be due to the lack of proficiency at the beginning of the season. After all, this shrinking season is not easy for anyone to play...
