112-116, the Lakers lost to the Kings again, preseason lost all six games.
Is it uncomfortable? Of course uncomfortable. If losing to the Nets and the Suns is a championship-level team, losing to the Warriors, after all, they obviously strengthened during the offseason, then losing the 12th Suns in the Western Conference last season is really a shame. Think about it a year ago that the Lakers were still on top of the world and just won the seventeenth trophy in team history in the bubble.
But panic? Don't panic, after all, the upper and lower limits of this team have been doomed after the three superstars joined forces. Such performance has been foreseen countless times in previous articles.
In other words, the possibility of such a Laker winning the championship is very slim.
Regardless of whether the Lakers played good or bad, whether they lost six or six straight in the preseason, whether the regular season is advancing all the way or falling below the bottom, two points are the Lakers today. What fans need to know.
① James and have thick eyebrows. is too risky to survive the entire regular season. One is 38 immediately and one has a serious injury history. They are still the biggest core assets of the Lakers.
②The natural conflict between Master West and James is not something that can be resolved by anyone who is willing to sacrifice. This is something that the player, the strength does not need to be the weaker James, Durant and Harden, who have better shots, have not done it.
So James, Master West,Including Anthony, Rondo, Howard, and Jordan, when they are on the same team at this age, the possibility of capsizing is actually far greater than that of successfully reaching the summit, although once they reach the summit, they can be called NBA. is one of the greatest legends in 75 years of history.
But does it have to be champions to prove the greatness of a player and the success of a team?
I think the answer is no.
"Lakers championship" , the most popular slogan on the domestic Internet today, does not come from their almost invincible "OK era" at the beginning of the century, nor does it come from Kobe killed the Quartet’s scoring champion in 2016-19. Kobe retired and the team was in a mess. We can only count on a bunch of prospects who can successfully scrape the prize and lead the team back to a glorious low ebb.
It was the fans' ridicule of the plight at the time, the memory of the glory of the past, and the unswerving vision for the future.
Support a player, a team, you follow him to the top of the mountain, with him into the trough, accompany him from green to mature, from the unknown to the world, from At a glance Zhongshan Xiao to dust to dust to dust.
Witnessed his dormancy, witnessed his growth, witnessed his invincibility, witnessed his landslide, and witnessed his return to the ordinary.
When you have walked all this journey,Maybe in the future, I can say calmly, "I was also a fan of XXX!"
Stronger than Michael Jordan, the Wizards had to accept the fate of not making the playoffs in the last year, even if the league was in a serious situation where the West was strong and the East was weak.
Black Mamba finished with a 60-point legendary performance in the last year, but his limited field goal percentage that year was as low as 41.7% of the bottom of his career. The Lakers were the bottom of the Western Conference with 17 wins and 65 losses.
In the last four years of the Sharks career, he changed four teams. His last playoff game was 0 points and 2 fouls. The opposite was LeBron, who was in full swing. (May 11, 2011 Green Army Vs Heat).
Now it seems it is LeBron's turn.
As his supporter, he is considered a rare blessing in history. When he entered the league in 2003, he was a favorite of heaven. He can still win the championship + fmvp in 2020. He has been contributing steadily during the past 18 years. The top performance always stands in the center of the stage, inspiring his fans and maintaining their pride.
He has been afraid and retreated, but he has also risen and counterattacked, has succeeded and failed, but the only certainty is that he will always be able to fight back, and he has always been at the top of the league.
But there is no permanent banquet in the world. People will get old and have to go downhill.
So even if LeBron fails again this year,It was just a confirmation that he stepped down from the throne and returned to the ordinary. After all, there were already too many people in the back who were impatient and wanted to replace him.
When many people see this, they will definitely say that it is another Jamie who is pitying himself in Lonely Shadow.
On the contrary, I am considered the most loyal Mamba fan, Kobe fan.
But it is precisely because of witnessing Kobe’s rise to the peak, from the altar to the mortal, that he can calmly accept a legend and return to rehabilitate safely.
As a fan of Kobe, he used to belittle his players of the same period when he swept the league when he was young, such as the lack of brains of AI, the weakness of and Tracy, and the arrogance of Wolves King will also be when he wins the championship. Show off wantonly in front of others.
It was later discovered that everyone will get old, but some people age slowly.
When the stars you support are prospering in the spring and autumn and kicking others' ass, you must also know that one day you will also open your door.
Those who laugh at the predicament of LeBron, Westbrook may have been caused by Durant’s injury, Curry’s desolation, and Owen’s desolation. Sorrowful.
But this is the characteristics of competitive sports, or fate, no one is the eternal strong, no one can be the eternal winner, unless you remain transformed and always stand with the championship.
When Kobe Bryant ruptured his Achilles tendon in 2013, I knew that the familiar black Mamba would never come back. The next three seasons were actually a long farewell between him and everyone, whether you love him or hate him. he.
He can't jump high anymore, and his movements have slowed down.He can't make those shots that were originally reasonable, and he is no longer the black mamba that frightened all opponents.
Although there is still flame in his eyes, we know that the Kobe in his mind cannot come back.
Today’s James is also true.
He started to get hurt, he couldn't get in anymore, and what he could do is now more and more strenuous. He will take the initiative to give up the stage and let the younger generations like Schroder and Tucker keep offensive. Even the team he won the championship for the first time is no longer based on him and the most important player.
He is almost 38 years old and has stood at the top of the league longer than anyone, and it is time to have a long farewell to everyone.
Maybe this is not his last season, but every time he fails to charge now, he reminds everyone including himself that the "King Lebron" has gradually gone.
Of course, it also includes Master Wei.
He and James are probably the two most persistent people in the league for "ball power" in the past ten years.
LeBron is because his ability is really outstanding, and people are willing to leave everything to him.
and the turtle is "If you don't have the ball in your hand, you really can't and can't do anything else".
Do you think that during the Thunder, the coach Billy Donovan couldn't figure out how to make him take care of Durant?
You thought that when you were in the Rockets, D'Antoni Haven't thought of combining him and Harden's two mvp together?
Do you think in the Wizards, Brooks coach did not know that Bill is a more reliable offensive point than him?
The truth is, they all failed. Can Vogel do it?
Stronger than the four-time scoring champion Durant, Harden, who averaged 36.1 points per game, did not really take the ball out of Westbrook's hands, allowing him to become a more qualified and efficient player Point guard.
Even Master Wei himself is willing to change.
But in the end, is still a young master. You have the ball and we can accommodate you. After all, you don't have the ball in your hand. You can't do anything very well.
As I said before, Master Wei is like Mala Tang. It is really enjoyable to eat, but it may not be good for health, and it may not even be full.
With him by his side, the game is always full of passion, but whether he can win or not is a question.
When he was young, he and Durant fought together, blasting across the Lakers, Clippers, Grizzlies, and even became the Spurs' "lifetime enemy".
No one, when you can't hold him with precise offense and precise defense, he will be forced to drag him into his own rhythm of ravages, who will live and die at that time, Everyone's destiny.
So in the 2015-16 season, the Spurs were run away by him, and the 73-win Warriors would not be able to escape without the "G6 Soup".
But there was Durant by his side at that time, and when he and his opponent were hot-headed at the same time,Adu can also accurately make up for the knife with his historic offensive efficiency and unsolvable dislocation attack.
"Thunder King blasted both of them" one set on fire and one sniper was the mystery of their vertical and horizontal alliance at that time.
Without Durant, Master Wei never won a playoff game in the Thunder.
After Durant left, the only time he passed was to follow another offensive master Harden, and it was the Thunder that suffered the most.
In recent years, as Master Wei gets older, in fact, his organizational skills and passing awareness have improved compared to when he was young, but the problem is that if he personally attacks, he can no longer kill the opponent's defense.
In the past, he stepped on the Hot Wheels and smashed the Huashan Mountain. He was able to explode by himself. Only when the opponent used the "human sea tactics" to flick the ball, he would throw the ball like a cannonball to the open teammates. .
Now he can't destroy the opponent's defense line, can't attract pincers, and can't find open teammates. When we really need to rely on tactics, sense of smell and instigation to create opportunities, we will find that Master Wei and the real top organizer The gap between.
Not to mention, he stayed in the offensive space as a notoriously bad Lakers.
If you compare the NBA in the past ten years to a pot of hot pot, then Master Wei, who has been the triple-double king in history, is like the most powerful and domineering hot pepper. It tastes refreshing and dripping, but there are sure to be people who sneer at such vigorous eating.
But after more than ten years of boiling, this pot of peppers has finally faded, and it's time to change the pot.
