I'm really strong in basketball

After returning from the timeout, the Suns still failed to change the situation on the court.

Stoudemire's ability to hold the ball is still too rough, Marion has almost no ability to hold the ball, Joe Johnson is also a young eagle... Marbury is the only strong point of the Suns starting.

But the Lakers have Kobe and Liu He on the flanks, O'Neal under the basket, and Malone squatting near the three-second zone.

Marbury saw the Lakers' defensive lineup at a glance, and felt that it was a net that opened his mouth and waited for him to get into it.

Coupled with Kobe's state today is a bit strong, the Lakers crushed the Suns all the way.

At the end of the first quarter, at 27:18, the Lakers' lead was close to double digits.

Liu He only got one shot in the entire first quarter. Taking advantage of Kobe's big kills and attracting double-teams, he got an open shot. Liu He didn't waste it, and steadily threw a three-pointer.

At the end of the first quarter, Liu He's statistics were 3 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 3 steals.

Compared with Kobe's 13 points in a single quarter, Liu He is a fraction.

But during the break, Phil just nodded to Kobe, but praised Liu He lavishly.

"Nice job, boy. You did a great job tonight."

There is no doubt about Liu He's performance. He is the most active player on the defensive end of the Lakers team, assisting Payton and Malone, two veterans, to make great achievements.It relieved the pressure of the four kings and made them play comfortably.

However, Kobe's performance deserves a word of praise.

Phil's attitude, alas, it is said that the two had conflicts last season.

Phil hopes that Kobe will have more running tactics, but Kobe prefers to rely on personal ability.Coupled with what happened in Xia Tian, ​​the relationship between the two became more and more bad.

Liu He smiled on his face, but he couldn't be happy in his heart.It's only the beginning of the season, and all kinds of conflicts in the team are like volcanoes that may erupt at any time.

Once it erupts, it will be a catastrophe.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides fought off the bench.

Devin George has a certain offensive ability with the ball, which is indeed better than Liu He, and can improve the combat effectiveness of the Lakers' bench.

This may also be the reason why Phil started Liu Heshang in the second game.

The starting lineup is more reasonable, and the substitutes have become stronger, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?

But look at the Suns' bench, Hardaway, Barbosa, Jacobson, Gugliota... still crush the Lakers.

The Suns quickly played a 9:2 offensive, rewriting the score to 29:27.

Only 2 points left.

Among them, Barbosa made sudden shots and scored 5 points alone.

The excited Barbosa passed by the Lakers bench and once again provoked Liu He with his eyes.

"Come up! Come up! I will let everyone see the truth."

Phil couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately replaced Kobe and Liu He to stabilize the situation.

Frank also replaced Marion and Joe Johnson, and gave him a few orders.

The two sides changed players and the game continued.

Seeing Liu He playing, Barbosa was even more excited. He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

Everyone is a rookie at the end of the first round. He doesn't think that Liu He is better than him, and even his speed crushes Liu He. Why can Liu He start in the second game?But he was still competing with a group of fringe people for the chance to play.

It made him jealous and resentful.

As long as he plays a wonderful performance against Liu He, the coach will not say that he arranges the starting lineup, but the playing time will also increase.

Kobe plays with the ball.

Without O'Neal's restraint, the Suns' defense against Kobe has greatly increased. The top 3D Marion is the main defense, and the rest of the players are also slowly approaching, ready to help defend at any time.

However, Kobe's touch was too hot tonight, and he still scored the ball against Marion's defense.

31: 27.

Coach Frank saw it, and hurriedly yelled on the sidelines, telling the players to continue to strengthen their defense against Kobe.

Suns offense.

Barbosa broke through Fisher. Although the Brazilian Lightning is annoying, there is no doubt that his speed is really fast.

Fisher has slow feet and is afraid of this kind of speed guard.Before that, Barbosa had repeatedly torn up Fisher's defense.

This made Fisher's face very ugly, let alone Phil was unhappy, he couldn't sit still even if a rookie was beaten.

This time, Barbossa brushed past him again, sending Fisher's heart sinking to the bottom of the ocean.

With this kind of performance, Phil probably wants him to guard the drinking fountain.

But when he looked back, he found that on Barbosa's breakthrough route, the Lakers' No. 25 had already been waiting.

Fisher felt relieved, and hurried to catch up, and cooperated with Liu He to pinch Barbosa.

All of a sudden, Barbossa was male before and after.

His passing ability was mediocre, but now he was surrounded by two strong men, and he was even more flustered.

Seeing this, Liu He and Fisher continued to increase the intensity of hand-to-hand combat and pressed fiercely.

Barbosa passed the ball in a panic, but Liu He, who had been waiting for an opportunity, slapped it off.

The Lakers counterattacked defensively, and Kobe sent the ball to the basket again.

33: 27.

And Kobe has scored 17 points, and his state is bursting.

The point difference reached 6 points in an instant, and it stabilized.

Liu He continued to practice his trash talk, and then looked at Frank on the sidelines.

"Coach Frank, thank you for bringing in Leandro (Barbosa), he helped a lot. Without him, we couldn't have opened up the points so quickly."

Frank was speechless for a while, and he couldn't get angry with Liu He, so he gave Barbosa a death stare.

Barbosa felt a chill in his heart. If he continued to make mistakes, he might not have a chance to play tonight.

This damn Chinese!

The morale of the Suns was frustrated, and the next round failed.

Looking back, Kobe, who was in hot form, continued to ask for the ball.

Marion and Joe Johnson rushed forward at the same time.

Double team!

Kobe wisely chose to pass the ball to the open Liu He.

Barbosa came back in an instant.

This guy seems to be eyeing him, otherwise he wouldn't have such a fast defense speed.

Nice defense!

Ran and egg.

Liu He held up the basketball and immediately passed it to Fisher who was open.

He and Barbosa's biggest advantage is height.

Liu He wanted to pass the ball, but Barbosa couldn't even interfere.

Barbosa wanted to pass the ball, but Liu He's body covered the sky.

So Fisher received the ball very comfortably.

With a wide open space, Fisher adjusted his rhythm unhurriedly and hit a three-pointer.

Swish!

36: 27.

In an instant, the point difference returned to 9 points.

Coach Frank can't sit still, so he quickly replaced the starters.

Barbosa had to end.

Liu He continued to shout at Frank: "Coach Frank, without Barbosa, how can we continue to expand the point difference?"

Barbossa's eyes darkened.

He knew that for the rest of the game, he would never even think about playing.

And when he can re-enter the game depends on when Frank calms down. After all, the Suns have no shortage of bench seats.

Damn Chinese, sinister and cunning villain.

Barbosa hated Liu He to death, but completely forgot that he was the first to provoke Liu He several times.

The game continued without Barbosa, but the point difference continued to widen.

At halftime, 49:37.

Back in the third quarter, O'Neal made a little effort, and the point difference further widened.

75: 52.

With a gap of 23 points, in this era where the average score is less than a hundred, the outcome is basically stable.

In the fourth quarter, the Suns persisted for 6 minutes, but seeing the growing point difference, they chose to surrender.

At the end, 103:73, the Lakers beat the Suns by 30 points, showing their crushing strength.

Kobe scored a game-high 31 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

O'Neal had 22 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks.

马龙、佩顿打得时间不长，都不到30分钟，分别拿下16分7篮板、12分2篮板8助攻2抢断。

刘河的表现也不错，全场11投6中，三分球5中3，得了15分4篮板5助攻4抢断。

Although the scoring is not as good as the previous game, the scoring efficiency is still efficient, and the defensive performance is even more amazing.

Devin George is a bit desperate.

Liu He scored fewer points, but his performance on the court was better than the previous game, and he could provide significant contributions on both offense and defense.

George began to feel that his chances of regaining the starting position were getting slimmer and slimmer.

God is not fair, if you gave birth to Qiao, how could you give birth to Liu?

He is obviously a rookie with the 25th overall pick, how can he perform like this?

He felt that he might not be able to regain the starting position.

no no no!I can't be negative, I have to be hopeful.As long as I believe... there will always be a chance.

In the post-match interview, Liu He told reporters: "Barbosa is right. When we play at the same time, the truth will emerge. Now you have all seen it."

As for Barbosa, he ran away a long time ago and didn't dare to face the reporter at all.

In this game, Barbosa scored 5 points, 1 rebound and 2 turnovers, which is actually acceptable for a rookie at the end of the first round.

But he wanted to diss Liu He.

Comparing the data of the two, he became a joke even if he was not a joke.

Barbossa ran away, not even daring to look at Liu He.

But when Stoudemire entered the player tunnel, he gave Liu He a hard look.

For the dunk at the beginning, Stoudemire didn't dare to retaliate against Kobe, and put the blame on Liu He.

Just wait and see.

Subsequently, the Lakers continued their away journey.

On November 11, the Lakers beat the Warriors 2:99.

On November 11, the Lakers beat the Bucks 4:107.

In the opening four consecutive victories, the Lakers won by 7 points, 30 points, 28 points, and 19 points respectively.

In four games, the Lakers averaged 101.5 points per game, ranking third in the league.

And the opponent can only score 80.5 points, ranking third in the league.

Averaged 21 points per game against opponents, ranking first in the league.

The major news media and fans are all exclaiming: The Galaxy Battleship has set sail.

The Lakers have the momentum to sweep the league.

Kobe's state also continued to be hot, and he scored 30+ points in three consecutive games after returning.

Malone and Payton averaged less than 30 minutes per game, got enough rest time, and were in excellent condition.

This is even more terrifying.

In other words, before Malone and Payton exerted their strength, their opponents had no resistance.

If these two Hall of Famers start to play hard, will the opponent still have to fight?

However, some people also raised doubts. They felt that the Lakers had an easy schedule at the beginning of the season, and there were no strong opponents in the four games.

So such a big victory can't explain the strength of the Lakers.

Only by defeating a real strong team can the strength of the Lakers be shown!

That's right, these doubting fans are not questioning the strength of the Lakers, but questioning that the media reports are not rigorous enough.

On the contrary, this is more proof of the strength of the Lakers, because those who doubt do not dare to doubt the strength of the Lakers.

And on Nov. 11, the Lakers have an opponent that can really show their full potential... the San Antonio Spurs.

Before the game, the Spurs revealed that Tony Parker, the team's starting No. [-] "French Sports Car", will miss the game due to injury.

Makes this game a bit regrettable.

But it didn't affect the heat of the game at all.

Just look at the championships of the past five years.

99 Championship: Spurs.

00 Championship: Lakers.

01 Championship: Lakers.

02 Championship: Lakers.

03 Championship: Spurs.

These two teams have won all the championships in the past five years.

The Huma battle is equivalent to the battle of bravery in later generations.

The difference is that the Cavaliers and Warriors are in different regions, and the Lakers and Spurs are both in the West.

How poor is the Western Conference team at this time?

Larry Bird once said: Are you here to fight for second?

But in recent years, the Western Conference teams have not even qualified for second place.

Therefore, all parties attach great importance to this game and do their best to promote it.

The same goes for both sides of the game.

Phil Jackson canceled the team's half-day vacation, took everyone to the video room, took everyone to meditate for 15 minutes, and then began to analyze the Spurs game video.

On the other side, Popovich also led his coaching staff to arrange tactics nervously.

"Shaquille O'Neal...Kobe Bryant...the two giants inside and outside have made me miserable."

"Ma Long...Payton...Although these two old guys have declined to a great extent due to their age, they still cannot be underestimated."

"The last starter for the Lakers...Liu He."

Playing the Mavericks, 21 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

Playing against the Suns, he scored 15 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals.

Playing against the Warriors, he scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Playing the Bucks, 17 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.

Averaged 17.3 points, 4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.8 steals per game.

Seeing this, Popovich couldn't help cursing: "That old guy Phil, is always so lucky, to be able to sign such a rookie with the 25th pick."

But when he continued to read, his head hurt.

Liu He shot 54.5% from the field, 63.2% from three-pointers, and 90.4% from free throws.

Especially three-pointers, four games, 19 shots, 12 hits, 3 three-pointers per game.

Is this really a normal person's hit rate?

Although the Lakers have four kings, anyone around them can get easier shots.

But this is too exaggerated.

The kid's [-]-point shooting rate surpassed O'Neal's shooting rate at the rim.

With him here, who would dare to double-team O'Neal?Who dares to double-team Kobe?

A thought popped into Popovich's mind: Maybe the Lakers this season are really invincible.

Unless the Lakers have their own problems.
