NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 238 Meng Hua is more important than the Big Three of 360
The Lakers challenged the Suns away, and James continued to be unable to play due to injury.

Meng Hua, who has basically recovered from his ankle injury, also came to the away game with the team and sat next to James.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers showed their confidence to win, and Westbrook and Nongmei frequently connected.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 3 points.

At halftime, the Suns led by 5 points.

The situation changed suddenly in the second half. Facing the Suns who were not fond of fighting, the Lakers still had few options.

The Suns played a little more seriously for a few minutes, and the Lakers collapsed again.

James, who was watching the game, got up angrily and walked back to the locker room.

A few minutes into the fourth quarter, the Suns, who were leading by a large score, still gave the Lakers face. Worried about winning too much, they withdrew their main players early.

The Lakers lost the game unsurprisingly.

Westbrook played well, and thick eyebrows are fine, but they still lost, and they lost convincingly.

This is the strength of the league's number one.

This game also completely woke up the Lakers fans.

Previously, they had hoped that if the Lakers entered the playoffs at No. 8, as long as all members were healthy, they would not be afraid of the sun.

Only now did they see clearly the gap in strength between the team and the Suns.

The Suns have at least 20 well-drilled offensive lineups.

Booker's offense is already top-notch, and the Suns also have Paul, the best pure point guard in active service.

None of Ayton, Bridges, and Crowder lost the chain, and there are good players such as Payne, Johnson, Shamet, and McGee on the bench.

The Suns' defense is three-dimensional, and the head Booker also defends honestly without any privileges.

Paul, another backcourt, is notoriously dirty, with many small moves and very cunning defense.

On the front line, both Bridges and Crowder can defend from the 1st position to the 4th position.

Center Ayton's defense is also quite satisfactory, and his level continues to rise.

Even if the Lakers are lucky enough to make it to the playoffs, they will still have a round trip against the Suns.

After playing the Suns and the Warriors, James came back, the Lakers have already locked in tenth, and they will play the playoffs with the Pelicans.

The game was uneventful, and James still wanted to play to see if he could win the scoring title. He was still two games away from being eligible for selection.

James played well, but still lost to the Warriors.

The Warriors want to keep the third place in the West. They didn't release water like the Suns, so the Lakers naturally couldn't resist.

At this point in the season, coaches and players try their best to decompress themselves, and there will be a lot of weird remarks.

"We don't care about the standings in the regular season, the home field advantage doesn't matter much."

"The health of the players is the most important thing. We must let the players rest. Next we are just rehearsing the lineup."

In fact, people who say these things often pay more attention to them than others.

Hypocrisy is everywhere.

In the last two rounds, against the Thunder and the Nuggets, James played well, but unfortunately he still missed the scoring champion. Embiid was crowned the final scoring champion with 30.5 points.

Throughout the history of the NBA, the scoring champion has only happened 10 times in total, appearing on 4 people.

Jordan happened 6 times alone. After him, O'Neal won the championship in the 99 season, and he was also the scoring leader that season.

After O'Neal, it has been more than 20 years, which is more than four times that of five years, and this situation has never happened again.

Embiid, who won the scoring title, may miss the championship again.

In fact, it is very polite to say that he has no chance of winning the championship. He has not reached the finals at all.

At the beginning of the season, when they learned that Westbrook was traded to the Lakers, the fans cheered and ecstatically.

Some experts swear that the Lakers can win 70 games.

They are really too floaty.

Only two teams in history have achieved 70 wins.

The Bulls won 1996 in 72 and the Warriors won 2016 in 73.

From full of hope to the current chicken feathers, Lakers fans can't accept it.

Some fans who don't care much about the regular season have come at this time.

For various reasons, they have no time to pay attention to the regular season, but they do not intend to miss the more intense and exciting playoffs.

Seeing the Lakers' record, they were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"The Big Three actually want to play in the playoffs, what happened to my lake?"

They sent soul torture.

In the online community, this issue has begun to ferment and become more and more popular, causing fans to discuss it.

A senior fan gave a detailed answer, and finally concluded that the three of them didn't get along, they were a dragon when they were taken apart, and they turned into a worm when they were combined.

There are also people who disagree with this point of view, throwing out fatalism, thinking that the Lakers were unlucky and ruined by injuries, just like the Nets last year, who had a good chance of winning the championship, but finally died of injuries.

The Los Angeles Blossoms also hurriedly rubbed hot spots, throwing out the theory of Meng Hua, thinking that Vogel reused Meng Hua, which caused the Lakers to lose their chemical reaction.

In the circle of fans, she was quickly mobbed for such a reply, and she finally enjoyed being spat on.

Some people were touched by this phenomenon, and threw out the sunspot theory, thinking that the sunspots kept attacking and insulting the players, which caused the players' psychological pressure to be too great and eventually collapsed.

Everyone holds their own opinions and quotes from the classics, but no one can convince anyone.

After the quarrel was fruitless, everyone had to put their focus back on the play-offs.

This time, no one is optimistic about the Lakers.

The facts before them, they lost consecutive losses to the New Orleans Pelicans.

That's the home team of the thick eyebrows, but now it seems that they don't intend to give the Lakers face.

Even if they win the Pelicans by chance, they still have to face the Clippers, the city's arch-rival, who killed them four times.

Their general George is back, and it is said that their Leonard is about to come back.

Let the two main players, they both kill the Lakers four times.

How can the Lakers win the Clippers in the playoffs?

The fans don't have confidence, and the Lakers themselves don't seem to have confidence either.

After the away game against the Nuggets, he was on the plane back.

Vogel seized the time to pour chicken soup and prepare for the play-offs.

The players have only one question, how is Meng Hua's injury?Why didn't he go out with the team this time?

Knowing that Meng Hua is fine, he asked for leave just because the team ranking has been determined.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Losing Meng Hua's 19 games, the Lakers won only 3 games.

Although in these games, James and Big Eyebrow did not play in many games.

The data is still shocking.

It seems that Meng Hua is even more critical than the Big Three.

China's media is exactly this direction.

Whether well-known or not, whether they are commentators or reporters, they all agree with this view.

1 game can't explain the problem, can't 19 consecutive games not explain the problem?
Meng Hua was injured, and they couldn't bear it, and they didn't stir up hot spots for a long time.

Before the start of the play-offs, they finally broke out a little.

Yang Yi’s Weibo made a metaphor: If a player had a 50% hit rate before and is now 19 of 3, ask him how many downs?

For the sake of hype, he secretly changed the concept. The team record is 50%, which is a very ordinary team, but it can be replaced with a shooting percentage of 50%, which is indeed an awesome player.

What does that matter? Meng Hua is awesome. To prove that he is awesome, why did he use some tricks?
Otherwise, how can we fight back against Heizi?
