The Lakers' second luxury Big Four, why did Kobe not win the title? Howard is back!
I remember that when I saw the news that Howard Nash came to the Lakers, I was very excited. For the Lakers who traded with Paul the previous year and got angry with Odom, this news is so exciting. Howard, who was in his prime, claims to be able to replace James' existence alone! However, the ending was not as good as expected. The entire season was full of injuries and stomped all the way to the playoffs. The most important thing is that Bryant's last few games were overloaded and he ruptured his Achilles tendon in order to make the playoffs! Next, the playoffs were swept, Howard switched to Houston.
If Howard didn’t come up, he wanted to seize power. If Howard was willing to give his teammates a pick-and-roll, he would guard the inside and use 80% of his body to threaten the inside at the same time to give Kobe more relaxed offensive space and outreach. If Howard did his own thing seriously Make trouble, the team is united, how can Kobe fight to rupture the Achilles tendon for a promise to the old Buss to enter the playoffs, fight until the oil is exhausted, and then walk off the altar? Even if you bring a bunch of soy sauce, the peak tail of Kobe + 13 years of correct attitude Howard, entering the playoffs is a piece of cake.
Howard's attitude towards Gasol is quite contemptuous. In the Lakers, Gasol's status needless to say, not to mention the feelings with the fans and those Lakers basketball players. However, when Howard came, he allowed Gasol to squeeze out of the three-second zone and even ran to the three-point line as a fort. This was offensive. (Of course, D'Antoni also has a pot for Gasol's positioning, so D'Antoni was also kicked. Up). This is one of the main contradictions of Kobe Howard. Z1z
respect is played by himself, paddling on the court, sugar addiction off the court, destroying the team system on the court, and destroying the atmosphere of the locker room off the court. Compared with Nash on the Lake in the same year, even if it was a failed season, does anyone hate it? Why, as a professional player, he has done what he should do. Howard couldn't even control his mouth and was beaten as a rookie who could only giggle.
Gasol said such a sentence, but the Big Four that year, (Kobe, Gasol, Howard, Nash), there were not so many injuries, Howard was willing to play the pick and roll, they would not be so difficult.
