194 Bad Combination Pushes the NBA, Despair Fills 4 Suns
vs Clippers.
After the game, at the press conference, Kassel said: I was wrong, I was outrageously wrong. Previously, I didn't think there would be any team that could beat the Los Angeles Lakers in a best-of-seven game this season. If it's the Phoenix Suns, I think it's possible.
......
One stone startles a thousand waves.
Are the Lakers and Suns rivals in the NBA?
Not in the strict sense of the word.
However, in the past two years, the Suns have definitely been the bitter master of the Lakers.
The Lakers star Kobe Bryant and the Suns star have a lot of grievances.
In the 2006 playoffs, in the first round, the Lakers beat the Suns and led the Suns 3-1, but were unexpectedly reversed by the Suns 1-3.
In the 2007 playoffs, the first round, the Lakers Suns, this time the Lakers lost even more completely, just the bottom did not lose, this time the Suns directly eliminated the Lakers 4-1, not the performance of G3 Kobe Bryant's explosive species, the Lakers were swept in this round.
But this is also this round of the series, Kobe's mentality has collapsed, and he also realizes that he needs help, so he forced the management of the Lakers. And the Lakers almost missed Kobe Bryant because of the Suns and Lakers in this round, so they almost didn't sign, if Old Buss didn't come forward, maybe Kobe Bryant would have left.
In other words, the Suns almost didn't break up the Lakers they are today.
Now, with one sentence, Kassel has turned over the grievances between the two sides again.
To say that the Lakers without Liu Xing, even if they play 100 times, the Lakers are not necessarily the opponents of the Suns.
But now that the Lakers have Liu Xing, now, they have not tasted defeat since the beginning, and they don't care about the Suns.
And what about the Suns?
For two years in a row, after the playoffs, they cut the Lakers down and eliminated them home, and both times they came close to being swept by the sea. Although the Lakers have been undefeated since the beginning of the 45-game winning streak this season, the Suns still don't take the Lakers seriously.
Especially Xiao Si, this guy is getting more and more energetic, after hearing Kassel's remarks, he directly said
, "If we can beat the Los Angeles Lakers twice, then we can beat them a third time... "Arrogant to the extreme, arrogant to the extreme.
What makes the fans of the Lakers feel even more hateful is that as many as 65% of people think that what Xiao Si said is right, and these people think that the Lakers' record is inflated now, and the Lakers are nothing more than paper tigers, and once they reach the playoffs, they will definitely be exposed.
They are now on a 45-game winning streak or more, which is nothing more than a burden for the Lakers.
Mark Jackson, who is also a celebrity and has been ridiculed by the NBA group as a 'naked running maniac' during this time, is a loyal supporter of this statement, and he made it clear that this season, the Lakers will not win the championship, they will become the biggest irony in the history of this season, and even, NBA. They're just a joke.
......
Mark Jackson, as a Laker sunspot, naturally does not mean anything what he says.
But in the latest episode of ESPN, ESPN also asked ESPN's 17 authoritative writers to vote for this statement.
The results of the poll showed that 8 of the 17 authoritative journalists agreed with Mark Jackson's statement.
Reason: The Lakers have never proven themselves in the playoffs.
Among them, there is also the famous Stephen Jackson.
Of course, these ESPN authorities, they represent ESPN, and they don't talk nonsense.
Rather, it is based on facts.
After playing the Clippers, Nash played another 5 games, and in these 5 games, the Suns won a wave of 5 consecutive wins, including the Boston Celtics, the first in the East, the Orlando Magic, the second in the East, and the old opponent in the West, the defending champion San Antonio Spurs last year, and the Dallas Mavericks, who played the San Antonio Spurs twice in the West, and finally won the San Antonio Spurs twice.
Before the start of the season, many experts predicted that the Suns were on the devil's schedule, and their results would drop significantly during this time period.
But the Suns slapped people in the face, and for the first time, they won five consecutive games, and in these five games, the Suns averaged 120.6 points per game, and the offensive efficiency was unique in the NBA.
The offensive end is invincible, not to mention, the Suns' defense has always been warmed up during this time, and during this period, they are in the top ten in the league in defensive efficiency.
In the face of the Suns' unique offense, and a good defense, it is really difficult to win the Suns.
TNT legend Charles Barkley, who is also a legend of the Phoenix Suns, said: Phoenix already has the strength to challenge for championships, I don't think there are teams in the NBA that can stop their offense, no.
......
It is true that Phoenix's five-game winning streak in this wave of adversity is full of gold, which also makes them the No. 1 team in the latest NBA team power rankings.
Celtic second.
Lakers are third.
For the Lakers, it's ironic.
The Lakers don't get enough respect from people.
You know, among these three teams, the Lakers are the ones who win the most.
After a 45-game winning streak, the Lakers went on a five-game winning streak to bring the winning streak to 50.
The Lakers have thus become the first and only team in the NBA that can achieve 50 consecutive wins in the season, if the Lakers can win these two games in a row against the Phoenix Suns before the All-Star Game, then the Lakers will also become the first team in NBA history to have never lost a game from the beginning of the season to the All-Star Game.
If it is achieved, then this honor will be ancient and modern, and even, it can be said that there is no one before, and it will be difficult to have someone in the future, which can be called a miracle.
However, because in the last two games of All-Star money, the Lakers played the Suns, which also led to 80% of people not thinking that the Lakers could create such miracles.
The Lakers have created a miracle of 50 consecutive wins, but now the Phoenix Suns are also unstoppable, known as the killer of strong teams, and their condition is so good that they are off the charts.
Suns vs Lakers, before the All-Star break, 2 meetings.
It can be said that this is a showdown between the tip of the needle and Maimang.
For a while, will the Lakers' winning streak be ended, and
can the Suns become the killer of a strong team to defend the NBA?
......
These topics are also the hottest topics in the NBA at the moment.
To this end, major sports platforms have also launched voting and discussions on these hot topics.
TNT gave the topic of whether the Lakers can remain undefeated before the All-Star break?
His reason is: yes, because of the combination of cheats.
Out of 10,000 votes, only 12 percent of the votes cast by him won the support of his view.
The opposing side represents Charles Buckley. His reasoning: This season, Phoenix has never lost to the same opponent twice. Right now, the Suns are on a hot streak and no team can win two games in a row over their heads, not even the Lakers.
Eighty-eight percent, almost nine out of ten people, support Barkley's view.
