Chapter 320 319: Score any goal you want, the new rules actually strengthened Shay!

After losing two games in a row, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles without any time to breathe. The players didn't even return home after getting off the plane, so they boarded the team bus and headed to the Great Western Forum.

Two consecutive losses have put tremendous pressure on the entire team.

If they lose again today, if they really lose three games in a row, then the Lakers' hope of advancing to the playoffs will be even slimmer.

Because three consecutive losses means that if the Lakers want to win 25 games, they can only lose one more game.

But in basketball games, upsets happen from time to time. Who can guarantee that we will only lose one game next?

And you have to know that winning 25 games is just a chance to enter the playoffs, it is not 100% certain that you will make it.

As it stands now, the SuperSonics and Timberwolves, two teams hovering in eighth place in the Western Conference, both have the potential to win more than 25 games.

Therefore, with every additional loss, the Lakers' chances of making the playoffs are greatly reduced.

Shea also read a lot of newspapers on the team bus.

The Lakers lost two consecutive games, which was simply a carnival for the media.

After all, except for the Los Angeles media, the media in most places still want to see the Lakers dynasty fall.

The Lakers won too many championships in the 1990s, and Shay had too many people's dream lovers. Naturally, he made people jealous and he has become a public enemy.

Most people are waiting to see the Lakers lose three games in a row.

The Kings' ranking is not as high as that of the previous Spurs and Jazz, but because Kidd, the "number one point guard under Shay" is there, and the Lakers are exhausted, people are still very optimistic that the Kings can win the game.

.

Moreover, Kidd's defensive ability is also considered to be "historically strong at the No. 1 position."

Although Kidd's harsh words before seemed a bit unwise, there is no doubt about his strength.

Everyone firmly believes that the new generation of super point guards will definitely cause trouble for Shay, the older generation of super point guards!

Putting down the newspaper and looking at his exhausted teammates falling asleep on the bus, Shay clenched his fists.

Today, we must not lose again!

When I arrived at the Great Western Forum, I felt a strong sense of exhaustion.

It feels like you work overtime until 11pm and don't go home until 11pm. You're tired after a long day and don't have any extra energy left.

As a result, at this time, your wife came out of the bedroom wearing a newly bought Xinggan nightdress: "Husband is coming to bed soon~"

This despair of having to continue working despite being exhausted is similar to the mood of the Lakers players at this time.

Fortunately, when he came on the field to warm up, Shay found that everyone was still more positive.

It’s still the same example. No matter how tired you are, you still have to work hard. It’s better than having Lao Wang next door do it for you.

Other things can be achieved for free, but this kind of thing still needs to be done personally.

The same goes for playing basketball. No matter how hard or tired you are, you have to persevere. It is better than having your victory taken away by others.

At this time, Shay saw several men in black wearing sunglasses appearing in the arena and surrounding the first row of seats.

At the scene, everyone's attention was attracted by those men in black.

Finlay also came next to Shay and watched the excitement: "Holy crap, are you catching aliens?"

Soon, a fat blond man walked into the arena with a young blond girl on his arm, escorted by a group of people in black, and sat in the first row.

Afterwards, the people in black withdrew to both sides to keep alert. They were not catching aliens, they were just bodyguards.

At the Great Western Forum, there are countless celebrities coming to watch the game, including all big names.

But it was the first time for Shay to see such a big battle.

Then, the blond girl stood up and waved to Shay.

Only then did Shay realize that it was Ivanka and his father who came!

Yesterday, when Shay had a bloody battle in Salt Lake City, the representative he sent had already signed an endorsement contract with Ivanka.

Ivanka was very excited on the phone at that time and said that she would definitely thank Shay very much and would definitely go to watch Shay's game and cheer for Shay.

Unexpectedly, I actually flew here today.

Shay glanced at the old man next to Ivanka again.

In front of him, it felt like old Bas was just an ordinary old man who had just escaped from poverty and could barely feed himself on fruit.

The entire Lakers team immediately cast a dazzling look at Shay. Ben shook his head and came closer:

"Boss, please pay attention to your health. You just finished playing back-to-back, so don't work overtime tonight! What happened to the super rich second-generation girlfriend? That can't make our boss's body tired."

"Shut up and wait until you grow taller before you talk to me about adult topics! What are you doing? Have you warmed up?"

Shay dismissed the crowd, greeted Ivanka politely, and continued to warm up.

At the beginning, fans and on-site commentators were still discussing the relationship between Shay and Ivanka.

But after the Kings players came on the stage, everyone's attention was instantly focused on the court!

Jason Kidd, dyed with yellow hair, walked onto the court confidently, as if he was here to be crowned.

Kidd was very happy today. He felt that he had gotten a big bargain.

Shay, who neither O'Neal nor AI could defeat, had a chance to win it himself!

Kidd is not the kind of person who can't wait to count. Of course he knows that Shay is indeed a lion.

In fact, Kidd had seen Shea's strength as early as when Shea played in the summer league for the first time.

Kidd has played with Payton since he was a child, and Payton is like a big brother in his mind. However, that guy who was so invincible in the game was beaten to a pulp by Shay in the summer league.

Therefore, Kidd always knew that Shay was not someone to be trifled with.

It is true that Shay is a lion, but now Shay is just a tired lion!

There is nothing dangerous about such a lion!

After a short warm-up, both teams took their starting positions, and the battle was about to begin.

On the Kings side, the five starters are Kidd, Doug Christie, Corliss Williamson, Kukoc and Lakers veteran Divac.

Compared with the original history, in addition to replacing the core with Kidd, the Kings also used draft picks to acquire Kukoc from the Vancouver Grizzlies at the beginning of the season.

Back then, the Grizzlies sent Van Horn and acquired Kukoc and Sabonis. They thought that these two European champion insiders could lead the team to at least the playoffs.

But facts have proven that in the cruel west, there is no way to achieve good results just relying on the aging Roof of the World and Kukoc.

There is no doubt that both Roof of the World and Kukoc are excellent players, but one thing is for sure, neither of them has the ability to lead a team alone.

After trying for a season and still only having a lottery record, the Grizzlies decided to completely screw up again.

So he used Kukoc's immediate ability to trade from the Kings of the Millennium Bad Team to a first-round pick.

I'm thinking that if I do this, I might get two high draft picks next year.

Who knew that after the Kings got Kukoc, they changed hands and traded for Kidd!

The Grizzlies cried and fainted in the bathroom. Can't there be more sincerity between people? If you get Kidd, your draft pick is worth a shit!

This is indeed the case. Judging from the current record of the Kings, the Kings' draft picks are worthless at all.

Therefore, they are equivalent to prostitution for Kukoc.

Doug Christie joined the Kings in the 2000-01 season and became an integral part of the Kings at their peak.

But in this history, because of Kidd, the Kings sent "White Chocolate" Williams, the seventh pick in the first round, to Toronto to get the key figure Christie in advance.

Christie is an all-around defender who can attack, defend and pass. Historically, he has been selected to the All-Defensive Team four times in his career.

Although he is not a big star, he is definitely an excellent role player.

The Kings relied on these three transactions of Kidd, Christie and Kukoc, coupled with Adelman's Princeton system, to finally emerge in the Western Conference.

This season, the Kings are second in the league in assists per game, second only to the stern Utah Jazz.

The scoring average ranks first in the league!

And in this tough defensive season, they are the only team that can average three-digit points per game!

Kidd only averaged 17.5 points per game, and no player on the Kings team averaged 20 points per game.

But the Kings are one of the few teams whose starting five can average double figures per game. To be precise, six players average double figures per game. The seventh rookie Peja also averages close to double figures per game.

Moreover, three of the team's starters averaged 4 assists per game, giving full play to Princeton's power.

Of course, the Kings' defense this season, especially their perimeter defense, is also very good.

The perimeter defensive chain composed of Kidd, Christie and Williamson allows the Kings to often launch gorgeous counterattacks.

Shea looked at the Kings starting lineup and geared up.

Although Kidd is crazy, the Kings this season do have something.
