Chapter 552 [Black butterfly effect, hitting new records]

After the game, major media reported on the game and praised the Lakers again.

Online, the Lakers are already recognized as the strongest team.

"The Suns were the team with the second-best record last season. The Lakers won so easily. No one can stop them from defending their title."

"It depends on the Spurs. Finley joined this season and has become stronger, but there hasn't been much change inside."

"Don't blame the Lakers for their good lineup. No one saw the value of Yao Ming and Mo Williams before. Rasheed Wallace's Trail Blazers in the last two years were regarded as a cancer. Even Kobe Bryant in 2003 Said he hugged O'Neal's thigh."

On the 2nd, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets 129-97 in back-to-back away games, another big victory.

** Missed due to injury, the Nuggets lineup was not complete, and they lost to the Spurs and Lakers one after another, losing two consecutive games in the beginning.

Yao Ming had 28 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, overwhelming Nuggets center Marcus Camby; Kobe also had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

Substitute Ellis performed well again. He tortured Nuggets substitute Greg Buckner in the garbage time of the second and final quarters, scoring 16 points with no assists and no rebounds.

Ellis scored in double figures for two consecutive games and became another rookie treasure picked up by Yang Rui in the second round.

The unfortunate thing is Ariza. Although Hoiberg has left, he still has to share playing time with his teammates and cannot play 10 minutes in each game. As long as Ariza can't practice three-pointers, Yang Rui won't give him too many opportunities to perform, and his spacing effect is not as good as Walton's.

On the other side, the Knicks, who had a new coach, challenged the Celtics away from home and were defeated 82-114 in the first game.

When he was with the Lakers, Phil Jackson "sit in meditation" on the sidelines and rarely called timeouts. After arranging the triangle offense, the star could make adjustments on the court and lead the team to win. When the Knicks arrived, Jackson couldn't sit still. They couldn't play the triangle offense at all.

The Knicks only have one good offensive player, Marbury, and Larry Hughes is barely the second corner, but both Ben Wallace and Antonio Davis lack offensive power inside. Radmanovic, Quentin Richardson and others are still shooting inconsistently.

In mid-September, the Knicks introduced Larry Hughes on a high-paying, long-term contract. However, Hughes is a player who needs to hold the ball to perform. He played well with the Hawks, but was useless as soon as he arrived in the Knicks. His three-pointers are poor, and he is not as good as the Marathons. Brie positions overlap.

Marbury, nicknamed the "Lone Wolf," was of course unwilling to give up the ball to Hughes and become a three-point shooter himself.

This signing was a helpless move. The team did not renew the contract of "Madman" Sprewell. Hughes is a relatively reliable defender in this year's free market. Jackson knew that he was not good enough, but if he didn't sign, it would be impossible to make the playoffs with the depth of the original lineup.

The Knicks' move to trade Dunleavy for the Clippers' Richardson was even more unsuccessful. Although Richardson's physical condition is better, his shooting percentage is often less than 40%. He is a blacksmith.

Substitutes Nate Robinson, CJ Miles and others have just entered the league and cannot play a big role. This Knicks is terrible. Jackson wanted to trade Ben Wallace, but couldn't get a good bargaining chip back, so he might as well just use it for another season.

Jackson signed the same big contract as Yang Rui and wanted to prove that he was worth the money, but it was a pity that he messed up.

The Celtics have become significantly stronger, with Ray Allen and Pierce both easily scoring more than 20 points. Inside, Matt Blount and LaFrentz can open up space and shoot, and Al Jefferson and Ricky Davis are on the bench to ensure offensive firepower.

The media believes that the Green Army is a weakened version of the Lakers, which can play pick-and-roll, inside support and counterattack. It is not difficult to win the first place in the Atlantic Division this season.

The Cavaliers were affected by the black butterfly effect. They had salary space, but no one wanted to join them, and they lost two games in a row at the beginning. In Yang Rui's previous life, they paid a premium to poach Damon Jones and Larry Hughes, who had certain combat effectiveness.

Now the Cavaliers have just introduced Mike James, who is strong in offense and weak in defense, and is likely to miss the playoffs again. For James, this is too bad.

On the 4th, the Cavaliers lost to the Spurs 76-102.

On the 5th, they lost to the Grizzlies back to back, 106-113.

After the Cavaliers lost three games in a row, Yang Rui suspected that James would wait for the end of his rookie contract to announce his "decision one" and take his talents to a place where there are stars.

After that, the Lakers easily won 6 consecutive games, defeated the Nuggets, defeated the Eagles, Timberwolves, and 76ers.

Against the Timberwolves, the Lakers beat their opponents 132-85. Both Olavokandi and Jaric can start, which shows how bad this team is.

Substitute Hudson and Anthony Carter, two small men, played as a double guard, and the defense was even worse. Ellis scored a career-high 22 points and 5 assists.

The Timberwolves obviously want to do a bad job this year and have not introduced good players. The coach is the inferior Dwayne Casey. This is undoubtedly a very painful season for the iron-blooded Garnett. He never fails to play well and plays continuously. The playoff record is coming to an end.

On the 14th, the Lakers challenged the Grizzlies away from home and finally encountered a challenge.

The Grizzlies traded for former star swingman Eddie Jones, who can still play a role despite his age, forming a trident with Baron Davis and Gasol. Starters Shane Battier and White are also excellent defensive players.

The Grizzlies' substitutes are led by Mike Miller, Bobby Jackson, and Dengtae Jones, and they are excellent both offensively and defensively.

The Grizzlies led for three quarters. The key to victory was that White was in foul trouble. The Grizzlies did not have a good center substitute. Yao Ming faced Chakalidis and scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in the final quarter, leading the team to a comeback victory.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Yao Ming started to explode this season, averaging a double-double per game.

Now, Yao Ming is playing 33.6 minutes per game, scoring 24.3 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2 blocks. His field goal percentage is 48.2%, which is not high, and his three-point shooting percentage is 37.5%. He averages 5.6 three-point shots per game and can hit 2.1 goals. The free throw percentage is also 85.3%.

Yao Ming's overall shooting percentage dropped, but he dared to throw from beyond the three-point line, and his performance was even more surprising, because he shot more three-pointers than the Mavericks' core Nowitzki. The two had similar statistics, and Yao Ming had better rebounds. good.

In an interview, Yao Ming said: "Jerry asked me to play like this. He asked me to learn from Rashid and Lamar to increase the range and open up the space. I will strictly follow his arrangements. "

Yang Rui said: "When Yao La goes out to play, he can break through better from the outside and make air cuts. His shooting percentage dropped in exchange for an increase in his teammates' shooting percentage. Since we can always win, why should we discuss the soft and hard issues of the center? What? I like big men who can shoot, and I need Yao to shoot more three-pointers, it's that simple."

The reporter asked: "In the new season, Yao Ming ranks first in the regular season MVP list, and Kobe is second. Does it mean that Yao Ming has become the team's first core?"

"No, the Lakers win as a whole. The role of others is equally important. Kobe's decline in statistics this season is due to selflessness, not a decline in form. His playing time has decreased and he is more efficient."

Kobe only played 33.9 minutes per game, shooting a career-high 50.4% from the field and 34.7% from three-point range. He scored 26.1 points, 5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.2 steals without much effort.

Kobe has truly reached his peak. Opponents dare not double-team him tightly, but his one-on-one efficiency is amazing. In Yang Rui's previous life, Kobe's shooting percentage was around 45%, and he often made strong shots against double teams, which made him not feel so comfortable.

Iguodala averaged 12 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3 assists per game, shooting 50% from the field and 35.4% from three-point range, which also benefited from tactics.

The Lakers used a rebellious style of play, supporting the inside and the Hawks' offense, and blinded other teams. They averaged 126 points per game in the beginning. This season, they can hit many new records.
