192 Bad Combination Pushes the NBA, Feeling of Despair 2
Sam Cassel, the core of the Clippers, was asked by reporters before the game whether the Los Angeles derby is confident of stopping the Clippers, who have won 44 consecutive games.
"As long as we play hard every night, whoever he is, we still have a chance to win," Kassel said.
The same question, in the post-game press conference, during the player interview, Cassel bowed his head in frustration, and instead of answering it directly, he said, "I have a lot to think about, and I have a lot to think about personally, the future of the basketball game." The
reporter also felt inexplicable, didn't he just ask if you still feel that the Los Angeles Lakers can be defeated?
"
Journalist," "this year?"
Cassel, "yes." The
reporter asked, "Will you retire?"
Cassel, "I have to think about it." The
reporter finally asked, "Is it related to the Lakers?"
Cassel nodded, "I don't think there's any team in the NBA right now that can beat them in a best-of-seven game. No. "
......
Sam Cassel is no stranger, he has three championship rings in his hand, he was named to the NBA All-Star team in 2004, and he was also on the All-NBA Second Team of the year.
ESPN once said of Sam Cassel: "He's the best back-to-back master in the NBA."
......
With this wave, Liu Xing's latest voting results in the NBA, he squeezed Kobe Bryant away and became the vote king in the third quarter. Originally, Liu Xing and Kobe Bryant's positions did not conflict, and when many people choose the front court and the back court, they choose Kobe, and they will generally vote for Liu Xing. In addition, Liu Xing is backed by the Celestial Empire market, and the hot Liu Xing has become the third stage ticket king, no one thinks this is exaggerated, only that it should be taken for granted.
In the third stage of voting, Liu Xing received 6.69 million votes, setting a new record for the single-stage voting of this Olympic Games, and most importantly, this stage is not over.
Kobe Bryant followed with 5.68 million votes.
It is not surprising that Liu Xing surpassed Kobe Bryant to become the first in the third stage, but he is close to 1 million votes ahead of Kobe, which is a bit exaggerated.
Sure enough, what Grandpa Mao said was right, there is great power in numbers.
The third stage is still different from the first and second stages, before the Celtics Garnett, and in the third stage, Garnett was overtaken by the Cleveland Cavaliers James.
Little Emperor James received 4.46 million votes at this stage.
Ranked third.
In fourth place is Celtic's Garnett with 4.31 million votes.
......
According to the voting momentum of Liu Xing in the third stage, Liu Xing's chances of being selected as an All-Star are still very high.
After all, in the position of Western center, it is Da Yao and Xiao Si who have the ability to compete with him.
At that time, Liu Xing's popularity was not stable, although he was famous, but not many people knew him, as the game progressed, Liu Xing's popularity was stabilized, especially in the Celestial Empire, he gained a large number of fans and sisters, and his popularity rose, and he was even more popular than Da Yao.
With this big rear support, Liu Xing didn't dare to say it, it was no problem to blow up Da Yao, there was no problem at all to surpass Xiao Si, it was as simple as eating and drinking.
After all, in the first and second phases combined, Liu Xing was less than 1 million votes short of Xiao Si, and in the third quarter of the votes, Xiao Si couldn't even see Liu Xing's taillights. In the third stage, Xiao Si only had 2.89 million votes.
Liu Xing had more than twice as many votes as him.
The two are no longer in the same dimension.
Xiao Si is also on social media, canvassing for himself.
But it doesn't have much effect.
The eyes of the masses are still bright.
Xiao Si's physical fitness is strong, and his physical fitness is also a little, but his style of play is closer to the blue-collar team, and his score seems to be very high, averaging 22.8 points per game, not to mention, compared to Liu Xing and the gap.
There is definitely a gap.
But the gap between Liu Xing and Xiao Si is not only in these 10 points.
Behind that, it's too bad.
Xiao Si scored more by Nash's feeding, during this time Nash was out for 2 weeks due to injury, Xiao Si led the team single-core, and his original form was revealed, with an average of 22.8 points per game falling to 15.8 points, and the data has shrunk significantly.
In addition, Xiao Si scored 22.8 points, which is only 22.8 points, and the influence on the offensive end is very limited.
Don't talk about the face, just talk about assists, he averages 2.1 assists per game, and Liu Xing's double-double data can't be compared at all.
Not to mention some high-stage data.
In the six games that Nash missed, the Suns were 1-5, and they didn't look like the first echelon in the West at all.
On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant suspended 3 games, and the Lakers won all 3 games.
Before Kobe Bryant's truce, many fans in Lakers country shouted for Kobe Bryant not to.
can see the record of Liu Xing leading the team, and there is no impact at all, and fans of the Lakers country also said: Team safety, Kobe Bryant don't read.
On the other hand, Phoenix Suns fans, after Nash missed the third game, the team suffered three consecutive defeats, and Suns fans said: We need Nash.
......
Xiao Si and Liu Xing, although they are both Western All-Star frontcourts, the gap is huge, like a chasm.
But Xiao Si said in public, he said, "Liu Xing is just a rookie, he has no real strength, and his selection of all All-Stars can only show that he is just a traffic player, and other than that, it doesn't mean anything."
"And this Lakers team has never proven themselves in the playoffs, and the regular season and the playoffs are not a game.
"I think a lot of people don't have that bad memory, we've eliminated the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs for the last two years.
"At the end of the day, whether it's 45 wins, 50 wins, it only means that at this stage of the regular season, they're in great shape. However, this does not represent the playoffs. If they can't win in the playoffs and can't win the championship, then the all-time No. 1 winning streak is the biggest joke in NBA history. "
......
Xiao Si's words naturally sparked heated discussions, with some for and against.
Still, it's in the majority.
Xiao Si's words still aroused great dissatisfaction among fans, and many fans felt that Xiao Si couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour.
The Lakers as a whole are also upset with Liu Xingming.
On the plane flying to San Antonio, Fisher took the lead in complaining about Xiao Si, "This guy's mouth should really be torn."
Odom also hated itchy, and he didn't play cards anymore, and he said, "The next time I meet, I'm going to kick him in the ass."
"Who's to say it's not?" Wharton Jr. was also indignant, and he continued, "Last year, if we had gotten Liu Xing, we would have kicked them in the ass."
Wharton Jr.'s words were also met by the Lakers players in the entire cabin, who nodded in agreement.
Liu Xing, who was sitting in the corner, didn't speak, just watched all this quietly, he felt that all this was like a dream, you must know that three months ago, he almost couldn't play, but three months later, he became an indispensable part of the Lakers, and the team needed him ...... very much
