NBA: At the beginning, the Polish star was so angry that he was reborn

After entering 2013, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, and Steve Nash returned to the team successively.

The Lakers are finally fully loaded.

Many media shouted that the alliance is about to usher in the "finale"!

The "Five-Star Lakers" will dominate the world.

The only team that can compete with the Lakers is the Heat, which has won 16 consecutive victories.

LeBron James' dominance is unprecedented, and with Ray Allen's Heat, it's hard to find an opponent.

If we say that in December, the biggest concern of the league is Yi Tian's consecutive triple-double record; then the focus of January is who can end the Heat's winning streak.

The media generally believe that the "Purple and Gold Giants" Lakers are the only team that can stop the Heat.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is skinny.

In the first week, the Lakers' performance was not satisfactory.

They stumbled over the Washington Wizards, Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets.

Among them, only one Rocket team is still competing for the qualification for the playoffs, and the other three teams are rushing to the "lotter" early.

In the game, the level of competition displayed by the Lakers was very average, but fortunately they all won.

People pay attention to the result, and generally choose to forgive during the process.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Lakers are struggling.

Their style of play has been "repeatedly jumping" between the two tactical systems!

Under the tactical system with Yi Tian as the central axis, Nash was a little at a loss.

The former MVP was reduced to a spot-up shooter on offense, and Nash became a "hole" for the Lakers on the defensive end.

He became the target of "exploding" young point guards, especially in the game against the Rockets.

"Bearded player" James Harden "rolled" Nash in the audience and scored 52 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.

If the Lakers hadn't won, Nash would definitely be nailed to the "pillar of shame" in this game.

After ceding the ball to Nash, the Lakers played quite well. I always feel that something is missing?

At the beginning of the season, the "mercury flooding" offense disappeared, and it became an obscure "single play".

"Warcraft" Howard's data is also dropping wildly, and his average scoring in four games is only 15.5 points.

Yi Tian's data also dropped to 19.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists. The crazy Yi Tian last month was gone.

On the contrary, Kobe's data soared to an average of 30.5 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

The Lakers relied on the super personal ability of the stars to win.

Mike Brown has communicated with Yi Tian.

Mike Brown told his favorite protégé that he knew the problem could be solved by letting Nash lead the second team with Jamison.

After all, the lineup of Holiday, Kobe, Yi Tian, ​​Gasol, and Howard has been adjusted for a lot of time this season.

Kobe made a huge sacrifice, but the combat effectiveness shown by the team is still gratifying.

But Jenny Buss made it clear that Steve Nash could not be used as a substitute. It took him two first rounds to get the former MVP.

It would make Magic Johnson and Jenny Buss, who made the deal, look like fools if Mike Brown used Nash on the bench.

This is absolutely not possible.

Let Nash stay on the court, you can only give the ball to Nash.

It is not realistic for the Lakers to play a "Suns-style" fast break with this lineup.

But once caught in a positional battle, Nash's "loopholes" on the defensive end will be targeted by the opponent, and other teammates will need to fill in for him.

This is not a big problem when playing against weak teams, but it is absolutely fatal when facing strong teams in the league.

Wins always mask problems, and in the first week of January, the Lakers' players were in a good mood.

Yi Tian said in an interview: "As long as I can win, my personal data is not a problem, and Kobe can sacrifice for the team, then I have no right to complain."

Dwight Howard also generously stated that the team is still running in, and it doesn't matter if he sacrifices a little.

All these beautiful illusions were quickly shattered.

On December 1, the Lakers played against the San Antonio Spurs at home.

Before the game, people were unanimously optimistic about the Lakers at home.

Although the Zijin giants are not in their best form, it should be enough to play the Spurs.

After all, Kobe is the nemesis of Mr. Bobo, and "Black Mamba" is the player who is best at cracking the Spurs system.

Unexpectedly, this game became the "Waterloo" of the Lakers.

In this game, Nash once again became the target of being targeted.

Tony - Parker crazy singles Nash audience, Bryant had to fill in for Nash.

The strength of the Spurs' lineup exceeded the expectations of the Lakers.

Their resilience on the defensive end made the Lakers very uncomfortable.

"Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan, Kawhi Leonard, and Danny Green showed strong single-defense capabilities.

The rotation defense of the entire Spurs is "watertight", and the Lakers, who have always had strong offensive firepower, have experienced "scoring shortages" many times.

The Lakers players on the field became more impatient, and Howard couldn't get a chance to make a move in the offense.

He's starting to hate the constant pull-outs and wall pick-and-rolls. Is this my job to do?

Yi Tian was very irritated by Leonard's entanglement. In just over a season, Leonard showed great strength on the defensive end.

Leonard's pressure on Yi Tian on the defensive end is no less than "Little Emperor" LeBron James.

Yi Tian has to admire Mr. Bobo's coaching ability. He has his own experience in training players.

The Spurs crushed the Lakers at Staples.

Such ridiculous scenes often appear on the field.

Pau Gasol is supporting in the high post, but "Warcraft" Howard is in the low post to take a position, ready to play with his back.

Nash stood at the top of the arc in a daze, unable to wait for his pick-and-roll teammates.

Finally, when the time is about to run out, whoever has the ball will complete a shot.

Such an offensive fault tolerance rate is too low, and the seasoned Spurs will never give the Lakers a chance.

Kobe saw the situation on the field and directly turned on the "Mamba" mode, but today Danny Green's defense is very good.

Bryant's shooting percentage is not high either.

The score was gradually opened, and finally, the Lakers lost 92 to 108 at home to the Spurs, ending their 16-game winning streak!

In the next game, the Lakers will face the Thunder!

The Thunder has always been worried about being defeated by Yi Tian alone last month, and this time they seized the opportunity.

Durant and Westbrook were on full fire from the start.

On the other hand, on the Lakers side, Howard shrank inside and never came out, which made Nash, who is used to pick-and-rolls, very awkward.

The most terrible thing is that this time Nash is facing the most violent No. 1 position in the league, "Turtle" Westbrook.

Westbrook directly turned Lao Na into a sieve.

Not surprisingly, the Lakers once again swallowed the bitter fruit of failure.

The mighty Lakers have faced many difficulties. After losing two games in a row, they have been submerged in the pressure of public opinion.
