Chapter 356: True Black Mamba

The Lakers' private training atmosphere is not easy, but it is not tense.

All the tension was brought by Phil Jackson, and the flames that Wei Xia and Kobe did not burn to others.

Moreover, there is no overnight revenge between them.

The conflict that had been the previous day disappeared in a day.

After two days of rest, they ushered in the second game of the new season and were also the first home game of this season. Their opponent was eliminated from the Phoenix Suns last season by them.

After Amare Stoudemire's return, the Suns' lineup finally became complete.

Compared with last season, they only have a little bully, but the intensity of the offensive end has been greatly improved.

The two sides fought fiercely for half a quarter, and the Sun, who had the fire in their eyes, completely regarded the Lakers as their enemy. They would never give up without pounding them hard.

The Suns did show the strength of the running and bombing team. In one quarter, they scored 41 points, which vaguely allowed fans to see basketball fifteen years later.

Three-pointers or three-pointers. Once all kinds of three-pointers feel, the speed of getting points is extremely fast.

Even though the Lakers performed normally, their 26-point performance in a single quarter was still far behind the Suns' crazy 41 points.

"The Suns looked like the Lakers in the 1984-85 season. That season, the Lakers were determined to seek revenge on the Celtics. They were a better team in any aspect. They also successfully defeated the Celtics and completed their self-salvation." Michael Thompson told an old story.

The fans were not interested because the Suns beat the Lakers up.

Judging from the first quarter alone, the combat power of both sides is not of the same level.

The Lakers seem to be no match for the Suns at all.

That night, there were several episodes.

Vanessa came to watch the game on the spot with Jaina, and also made an appointment with Elaine Trovis for Weisha.

After the first quarter, Wei Xia passed by the front row, Vanessa complained: "Someone begged me to bring someone to the game scene, just to let us see someone and his team be massacred at home?"

"You're that 'someone'?" Trovis asked with a smile.

Wei Xia denied: "Of course not, who can someone Vanessa say be? Of course it's Kobe!"

"Why did Kobe insist on me coming to the scene?" Trovis asked in confusion.

"Who knows this?" Wei Xia completely turned the blame and then asked Kobe to discuss how to catch up on points in the last three quarters.

Kobe scolded him, believing that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as the "Nash Terminator" at all today.

Wei Xia felt wronged and wronged: "He is the two regular season MVP? Isn't he normal to play like this?"

"I don't care? Since you are against him, you have to do it to obey him? Just like the first round of last season!" When you get into the state, you can't see your teammates and in most cases unreasonable are the two most unfair shortcomings of Kobe.

In terms of personal performance alone? Nash in the first quarter was not very outstanding, he scored 5 points and 7 assists.

There are many assists? But with the touch of his teammates, it is not surprising how many assists he gets.

Phil Jackson convinced his players: "We have no problem with both offense and defense? Is it abnormal for our opponents? Keep it up and stick to the end."

Sprewell asked: "What if they've been abnormal?"

"Then accept the failure with convincingness, bad luck!" Tex Winter shouted roughly.

No one wants to accept failure.

In the second quarter, the Lakers' counterattack began.

Wei Xia once again proves that he is the Nash Terminator.

The whole match of the second quarter? He made Nash make 1 of 3 shots in a single quarter? Moreover, the goal he scored was an unusual 9-meter three-pointer. As for assists, compared with the ease of 7 assists in the first quarter, there was only 1 assist in the second quarter? Stiff, out of touch? Not fulfilling the MVP responsibilities and obligations, the team never found the smooth attack in the first quarter.

A running and bomber team that is passionate about three-pointers? A run-and-shooting attack that is unparalleled, but also because of running and shooting? They cannot kill a tough team.

In the second quarter? The Suns, who seemed to have to be 80 points in the half, only scored 17 points.

The Lakers on the opposite side quickly narrowed the gap to 2 points with 30 points in a single quarter.

"The Lakers are still that Lakers, and we never underestimate them." Mike D'Anthony said in an interview.

Although the Lakers are in a position, they are not happy, because their opponents are still not fully physical.

Stodmeier, who had just returned, was strictly limited to his playing time. In the second quarter of the Lakers' start, and in the second quarter of Nash being blocked, they forced Stodmeier to run for two minutes of track and field. Before they could feel the feel of using the ball in the new season, they went down to rest.

The playing time of Little Overlord is strictly limited by the Suns' doctor, and it is difficult for him to play.

The Suns' doctor's ability is well-known in the industry. It can turn Stodmeier, who has suffered from ACL injuries in high school, turn it into a king, make Nash, who was hurt by the insulting quote from Mark Cuban, and rebirth in Phoenix City, and make many future players understand that there are really a magical doctor in the world who has a wonderful rejuvenation.

Since they said, Stadmire must not break the time limit.

The Suns had to put the advantage of the inside and watch the Lakers pressing step by step.

In the second half, especially in the third quarter, Ryan Hollins was called a second-degree malicious foul for a rough foul.

Judging from his movement range, it is enough to judge a first-level position. Giving a second-level position only means that the referee wants the rookie to know who the boss is on the court.

The Sun generals persuaded Tim Thomas, who wanted to have a one-on-one man battle with Hollins. Hollins glared at his opponent like a poisonous snake, and then walked down from Changsha.

"I would like to call Ryan the real Black Mamba." Weisha said in Kobe's face.

"He even called Lion, why did you call him Black Mamba?" Kobe asked in confusion.

Wei Xia replied: "Because he is like you, with a femtocratic heart."

Perhaps inspired and inspired by Hollins, after Bynum appeared in the second quarter, it fundamentally changed the Lakers' long-standing problem of weak inside.

"Andrew Bynum in the third quarter let us see what we hoped."

If, in the fifth and sixth games of the first round of the Western Conference last season, Bynum proved at some moment that he could afford the meaningful name "Andrew", then today, he at least allows people to see how good a player he would be after fulfilling his talent.

1Andrew's meaning in Greek is courage.

Against the Suns, he scored 8 points and 9 rebounds in a single quarter, including 4 offensive rebounds.

Those four offensive rebounds helped the Lakers establish a double-digit lead.

Moreover, the Suns, who could not defend the defensive rebounds, were forced to fight a positional battle with the Lakers.

At the same time, because he could not defend the defensive rebound, the most famous four-second lightning counterattack in running and shooting could not be released. The Suns were disconnected from attacking and defense in front and back, and the defeat was already achieved.

In the fourth quarter, Wei Xia made Nash re-remember the torture of last season.

From the first second, I was pressed by the whole audience.

Moreover, at the Lakers' home court, Wei Xia, who is no longer a rookie, but Wei Xia, who is already the rising star of Los Angeles, has his own privileges.

He added many intensity and physical confrontations against Nash that he didn't have last season.

His defense led to Nash's 0-for-4 shot in the most important fourth quarter. Fortunately, another Suns defender, Leandro Barbosa, burst out with amazing energy, with 16 points in a single quarter.

However, Stodmeier's playing time was fragmented and he was in no state. Nash was defensive. Do you want to win with just one surprise?

The answer is of course no.

The explosion of Barbosa cannot change the implementation of other teammates' mediocre offensive performance.

At the same time, the Lakers' inside line rarely have an absolute advantage.

Odom, who entered the third position, was familiar with the road and seemed to have arrived at the position he was best at. With two insiders, Bynum and Radmanovic, exerting force, Wei Xia and Kobe completely gave up the offense and defended wholeheartedly, creating an opportunity to counterattack and attack.

In the end, the Suns lost the game by 15 points.

Judging from the Lakers' statistics, it is difficult to tell who is the best player.

They had seven of them scoring in double digits, and Wei Xia and Kobe were even ranked third and fourth in the team.

Odom had 19 points and 11 rebounds in a single game, Bynum had 17 points and 13 rebounds, while Kobe and Wei Xia followed closely with 15 points and 12 points.

In the end, Odom was selected as the best player of the game.

He not only has the most points and second-most rebounds in the team, but also the most assists in the team - 7.

As the third position, his steps against those serious small forwards are indeed slow, but his offensive diversity and wide and long vision have room and room for performance.

“For the Sun, this is really an unacceptable defeat.”

"Yes, they are in a good position this time!"

"And, Kobe's score wasn't even more than 20 points."

"In the current two games, Kobe's score has not exceeded 20. This is completely different from last season. Last season's Lakers were a team that required Kobe to average 35 points per game to barely enter the playoffs. This season, Kobe defeated two teams before he could make the effort."

Faced with reporters, Kobe was very clear about his position: "We are like a rock band, with musicians, drummers, guitarists, everyone is very important, we each perform their own duties. Although I don't score many points, we easily won two games. I enjoy such a victory, but I hope you don't think I forgot how to attack. When the time comes, you will know."

Wei Xia, who scored a career-wide high in the last game, naturally became Mrs. Niu because she scored only 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists tonight.

The reporter would rather ask Odom how many pieces of candy he ate to be so hot, than ask him what he thought about winning two consecutive victories.

It just so happened that Wei Xia didn't want to talk to them either.
