Chapter 517
I have to say that the Lakers are playing very reasonably now. Although Ye Xuan's physical strength on the offensive end has dropped to the point where his shooting percentage has begun to be affected, he can still use passing to open up the situation for the team. The defense is still very reliable. After suddenly turning their attention to defense, Curry, the Warriors' strong point chasing point, was also locked. Now the only thing the Warriors can count on is Thompson to stand up again.

But it is a pity that Tang Shen basically did not play a few good games this season. Now that the regular season has been going on for a month, Tang Shen's overall three-point shooting rate is less than 30%. Last season He is still one of the top five super shooters in the league, but he can't even shoot this season. I have to say that the Warriors still have a long way to go on the road to adaptation.

As Thompson hit the iron twice in a row on the Warriors side, the suspense of the game gradually disappeared. Ye Xuan's consecutive free throws at the last moment not only helped the Lakers defend the final victory, but also allowed his own scoring to win again. improve.In the end, the game ended, and the Warriors lost again at their home court to the Lakers who defeated them in the previous game.

As for the Lakers, while giving them two consecutive losses, they also won two consecutive victories. The most important thing is that they completely defeated their opponents in the Warriors' two consecutive confrontations. The rankings and the psychological advantage in the playoffs are very helpful.Ye Xuan became the headline of the news again after the game, because he created a miracle in this game. Leaving aside the 73 points, he also sent 10 assists at the same time. The team only scored 121 points, of which at least 90 points were related to Ye Xuan. In other words, almost all of Ye Xuan's points were directly or indirectly obtained by Ye Xuan when he played.

After this game, the media also started to brag about Ye Xuan crazily, calling out the names of No. 1 in ancient and modern times, and the best scorer in history. Ye Xuan felt ashamed when he heard it.But I have to say that the combat effectiveness shown by the Lakers in this game is indeed very remarkable. Not only did they defeat the Super Four, but their choices at critical moments were also very reasonable. A must-have for a championship contender.

After the game, various experts’ evaluations of the Lakers also continued to rise. The Lakers’ prediction of the fourth or so record in the Western Conference from the beginning of the season suddenly became the first prediction in the Western Conference. The weakness shown when facing the Lakers was also caught by the experts.

After the end of the game against the Warriors, the record of the Lakers has quietly reached 14 wins and 3 losses, while the Pelicans are now 13 wins and 2 losses due to two games less, relying on the winning percentage It still ranks first in the West.However, the next match between the two teams is coming soon, which makes the Lakers look forward to it. After all, as long as they defeat their opponents in the duel, they can return to the No. [-] position in the Western Conference.

Of course, before the Pelicans game, the Lakers still need to play another game with the Eagles. It is still an away game, and it is still far away in Atlanta in the east, so this is not an easy battle for the Lakers. .

Facing the Eagles again, Ye Xuan finally had a chance to catch up with Howard. This time, Ye Xuan finally pulled Corvo out, and together with Gasol and Wade, they had a meal with Howard , the atmosphere in the middle was not to mention how embarrassing, if Ye Xuan hadn't made jokes in the middle, Corvo would probably be able to fly up and bite people.However, the final result was good. Under the mediation of Ye Xuan and Wade, the two finally chose to reconcile. This is much shorter than the time it took for Corvo and O'Neill to reconcile. Of course, this is mainly because Corvo is now gradually changing his stubborn character.

In fact, Howard's life in the Hawks is indeed not very happy. The team's tactics are still the Spurs' team tactics. His performance under this tactical system is not ideal, and the opportunities he can get are also very limited, so Even though his efficiency is very high, he still only has about 10 shots per game, and Warcraft is not happy in Atlanta.

This game is different, because the Lakers' inside line is relatively weak, and Jiasao is not the kind of muscular inside line, so Mike Budenholzer also specially asked Howard to carry out the main attack. Of course, this tactic The effect is relatively good, but unfortunately, the Lakers have a very large advantage in other positions, which makes the Eagles almost have no chance to fight back.In the end, the Lakers easily defeated the Eagles 117:102 in the away game. Ye Xuan finally kept a low profile in this game. He scored 29 points, 28 assists, 11 rebounds and 5 steals in 4 minutes. gorgeous.However, the most magnificent data in this game is Howard. Because the tactics are finally biased towards him, he also got 22 shots in this game, and Warcraft did not live up to the trust of the team, scoring 34 points plus 19 rebounds. Unfortunately, the team's outside firepower is a bit misfired today, which makes Warcraft's excellent performance in this game useless.

After this game, the Lakers finally returned to Los Angeles. They will face the No. [-] Pelicans in the Western Conference a day later. This will be a very critical game. The outcome of this game will be determined I will feel that the ownership of the first place in the Western Conference will be in the next period of time.

But just when everyone thought it was a close contest, bad news came from the Pelicans-their head star Anthony Davis had sore back muscles in the last two back-to-back games. It wasn't an injury, but to be on the safe side, they chose to rest Anthony Davis, and the balance of the game instantly tilted towards the Lakers.

Xiao Hua was also jumping with anger when he heard the news. In the beginning, only the Spurs, who had nothing to do with him, would use this kind of key game rotation, so it didn't matter, but now I didn't think of it. The Pelicans have also started to imitate cats and tigers. If there is one less absolute main player in this key game, the viewing pleasure of the game will drop a lot. In this way, his income will also be greatly affected, so Xiao Hua has already begun to brew. Introduce some policies to allow the team to report to the higher authorities when resting players, and no rest is allowed without approval.

But in any case, in this game, the Pelicans are basically out of play without the inside pillars. This is tantamount to giving up the No. [-] throne in the Western Conference to the Lakers, but this is actually fair. , the last time the two teams played against each other, Ye Xuan was still suspended. In this game, you also lost a main force, and everyone drew.

The result of the game is naturally that the Lakers won the game, and they have returned to the number one throne in the Western Conference. Of course, the most important thing is that the Lakers will have a relatively smooth schedule in the next period of time. Relax, although next week is still a difficult week, but after next week, the level of the Lakers' opponents will drop by a notch in an instant, which will allow the Lakers to get a lot of rest time for a long time .

In the first game in December, the Lakers ushered in the Bulls. It was still the same as the last time they played against each other. The Bulls still had no power to parry. After easily defeating their opponents, the Lakers also ushered in their own In the first victory in December, the Bulls have gradually shown signs of decline after a wave of winning streak at the beginning of the season. After losing to the Lakers, they still fell to the eighth place in the Eastern Conference. Dropped out of the playoffs.

But the Lakers don't care about these things. They need to focus on their next opponent. On December [-], they will welcome the Raptors led by the garbage brothers at home. Rozan and Lowry are rubbish brothers. That's because they start to decline every time they enter the playoffs, and they basically lose their temper every time they lose in the playoffs, so everyone jokingly calls them rubbish brothers.

Don't look at their poor form in the playoffs, but their combat effectiveness in the regular season is still very good. The Raptors played against the sky last season. This young team has never hit 50 before. + Wins - Not only broke the best record in team history in the regular season, but also reached the conference semifinals.

The Raptors can achieve such results, relying on a solid defense.The Raptors are not a very aggressive team. Although their scoring efficiency is good, scoring 100 points per 110.0 possessions, ranking fifth in the league, but because their game rhythm is the second-lowest in the league, they are on the contrary Averaged only 5 points per game, ranking 102.7th in the league.

The Raptors' offensive style is weight over quality, and there are more singles.Their number of three-pointers made ranks 14th in the league, but their field goal percentage is 5th in the league. However, the inside offense is weak, mainly relying on the strong outside line to score points.The Raptors averaged 26.7 free throws per game last season, ranking third in the league, and made 3 free throws, ranking second in the league.But the average assists per game is only second to last in the league, which is really embarrassing-Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan both averaged more than 20.8 assists per game.

The Raptors played very well this season, breaking team history records in the regular season and playoffs. In the face of such results, the Raptors' operations have only one result-don't fix things if they don't break.Therefore, the Raptors' offseason operation is of course to try not to change the overall structure of the team, but to make some necessary repairs.

The biggest loss of the Raptors during the offseason was the loss of the playoff hero Biyombo. Biyombo played 82 games last season and averaged 5.5 points per game. However, his average of 8.0 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game is quite good. After all, his playing time is only 22 minutes.

After losing Biyombo, the Raptors also made up for it by introducing the same young potential insider Sullinger. Among the NBA 2K17 scores for the Raptors, DeRozan scored 87 points, Lowry scored 86 points, Valanciunas scored 82 points, and Sullinger ranked fourth with 77 points.Sullinger’s playing time was reduced in the Celtics last season, and his scoring average dropped, but his average rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks per game rose instead of falling, which shows that Sullinger’s ability has indeed been improved ——36 points, 15.7 rebounds, 12.7 assists, 3.5 steals and 1.4 blocks per 0.9 minutes. This is already a star-level insider.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Raptors kept DeRozan. The price of 5 million in five years is not low. Like the Raptors, he even rejected the offer from the Lakers.The Raptors played very well last season, which is inseparable from the double guns in the backcourt.DeRozan averaged 1.39 points, 23.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, and Lowry averaged 4.0 points, 21.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 6.4 steals per game. These two are almost one of the strongest backcourt combinations in the league in the regular season.Now that DeRozan has stayed with the team, there is no reason for the performance of the two to decline in the new season, at least they can maintain their original performance level.

The Raptors' overall lineup has not changed, which should make the Raptors' overall performance not inferior to last year.The only problem is that compared to Biyombo, Sullinger requires more offense and less focus on defense.Therefore, the tasks of DeRozan and Carroll are heavier, and the team may need to consider the balance between the two guns, Valanciunas and Sullinger on the offensive end.

Of course, these are not particularly important to the Lakers, because when the trash brothers of the Raptors met Ye Xuan's team, they almost never won a victory, and their engine Lowry rarely There was a disadvantage in the matchup. After all, he was also known as a strong point guard at the beginning, but when facing Ye Xuan, Lowry felt that there was no place to display his skills, which was very uncomfortable.

So every time the Raptors faced Ye Xuan's team, whether it was the Pacers in 15 or the Pacers in 16, they all played very hard, and DeRozan felt the same way here. His natural enemy is Solomon Hill. Hill's defensive style is just able to contain DeRozan's style of play very well, which makes it very difficult for DeRozan to attack, which is why in 14- In the 15th season, even facing the Pacers who lacked pickled peppers, they still failed to beat the Pacers.

But now they are facing the Lakers, and the nemesis of the two of them has transferred to the Lakers one after another. This makes the Raptors very helpless. In this case, what can be done in this situation is roughly known.
