Chapter 941 The Savior Has Arrived

The situation in the NBA in the new season is still strong in the west and weak in the east. James returned to the Cavaliers and became the biggest favorite in the East with the new Big Three formed by Irving and Love. However, the strong teams in the West have not changed much. Still last year's frame.

In the new season, the goal of the Lakers is still to win the championship, but before that, they have to complete a new task, which is to help Kobe score.

In the NBA's historical scoring list, Kobe ranks fourth. He is close to Jordan's 32,292 points in third place. In this season, Kobe's total points will definitely surpass Jordan.

The Lakers have reached a consensus internally, and they started the "give the ball to Kobe" mode. As a result, the 36-year-old Kobe averaged 36 minutes per game, and Kobe averaged more than 30 points per game.

But the record of the Lakers is not so good. The winning rate has always fluctuated around 50%. The ranks of the top eight.

Finally, Kobe's total historical score surpassed Jordan's feat. Perhaps due to excessive exertion, Kobe strained his shoulder muscles half a month later and was reimbursed for another season.

Without Kobe's involvement, the Lakers finally showed their fangs gradually. In the second half of the season, they won a wave of 35 consecutive victories, directly breaking the previous record of 33 consecutive victories also maintained by the Lakers.

After Thomas Jr. replaced Kobe as the starter, he gradually showed super potential. With the increase of playing time, Thomas Jr.'s scoring average also rose sharply.

Thomas Jr. has a lot of offensive methods. His average three-point shooting percentage can reach 38%. Although he is not abnormally accurate, he is still at a first-class level. In addition to three-pointers, Thomas Jr.'s biggest weapon is breakthrough scoring. For a small man, he is very fast and can easily break through the opponent's defense.

However, for many breakthrough players, they can break through the opponent's outside players, but it is difficult to block the opponent's inside players, especially Thomas Jr., a player who is only 1.75 meters tall, does not need a seven-footer. Centers, almost every player who plays in the NBA, can block guards who are 1.75 meters tall.

But Thomas Jr. is the best player in the league at avoiding blocks. His breakthrough will always bypass the block of the opponent's inside player. Even if a seven-footer is guarding the basket, Thomas Jr. can find a way to break through and score. Opportunities, and among the top guards in the NBA, Thomas Jr. has the lowest block rate, which is exactly what makes him so powerful.

Many people say that Thomas Jr. is an inspirational performance. Thomas Jr. is the 60th pick in the second round, and also the last pick. With his height of 1.75 meters, he can be in the NBA. Standing firm and being able to become an All-Star player is definitely an inspirational example.

But in fact, Thomas Jr. has the strength of a top guard, so it is normal for him to perform well, and it is not inspirational. It should be regarded as seriously underestimated, and he has been underestimated for many years until he led the Celtics to play Results, people realized that he is a top defender.

This year's Lakers don't have to worry about the playoffs, so when the time enters March, the Lakers also start to take turns. After all, the running and bombing tactics consume players' energy, and there are several veterans in the Lakers, such as Carter, Marion, Ci Shiping, Jermaine O'Neal and others are all close to 40 years old, and it is impossible to run non-stop like when they were young.

The rest obviously relieved the veterans who have been running for most of the season. The state of playing one game and one rest is also a kind of self-cultivation for them, and it is also accumulating energy for the playoffs.

In the 2015 NBA playoffs, the newly formed Big Three of the Cavaliers really killed the Quartet, advancing all the way, and easily reached the finals.

In the West, the Thunder did not enter the playoffs because of Durant's injury. Everyone thought that Paul would fulfill his dream of the Western Conference Finals, but they did not expect the Warriors and Rockets to emerge suddenly.

The Warriors changed their head coach this season. Mark Jackson dismissed get out of class. The new head coach Steve Kerr successfully activated Green. Coupled with the perverted Splash Brothers, the Warriors took on a new look and became the top team in the league. .

The Rockets' modern combination has become more mature after a season of running-in. In particular, Harden has made outstanding progress compared to last season, which made the Rockets' record soar and successfully put the Clippers under their feet.

Entering the playoffs, Howard once again became a "real thigh". When he was on the court, the Rockets were able to organize a solid defense. When Howard was not there, the Rockets' defense was completely reduced.

Harden and Kardashian are inseparable. I have to say that Kardashian is really "destroyed" for NBA players. Harden used his eyes to defend throughout the series. Although Harden's personal data is still very good, But the Rockets lost to the Lakers without any suspense.

As for the Warriors, it is the hardest bone the Lakers have encountered in the playoffs.

The Warriors this season are indeed strong enough. Although Curry is not as perverted as next year, Klay Thompson's stability still needs to be strengthened, and Green is not the three-pointer. Both inside David Lee and Bogut are still there, so in terms of lineup configuration, the Warriors are even better than the future, especially in the playoffs, David Lee and Bogut are better than the regular season. effect.

Fortunately, the Lakers' lineup is not weak. Zhang Guan throws a three-pointer, which is equally unreasonable. Both teams rely more on three-pointers, and as a result, they score high in every game. In the end, the two sides fought seven games, and the Lakers finally won the final victory.

As for the final match against the Cavaliers, it was not as troublesome as the Warriors. Both Love and Irving were injured, and even missed part of the playoffs due to injuries. James was once again alone, so in the finals, the Cavaliers only played at home. Win one game, lose everything else. The Lakers won the championship again with a total ratio of 4:1.

...

After getting the second NBA championship ring, Zhang Guan did not continue to stay in the NBA.

The framework of the Lakers has been basically formed. The only way for the Lakers to operate next is to wait for Kobe to retire. After saving 25 million salary space, it is enough to replace a superstar, and the Lakers are still in the ranks of the championship team .

More importantly, Zhang Guan is preparing for the upcoming Rio Olympics.

In the Rio Olympics in history, the national team's record has declined compared with the previous two. Apart from some objective factors, the main reason is that the "welfare" of hosting the 2008 Olympics has basically disappeared.

In the Olympic Games eight years ago, as the host, the national team spared no expense to cultivate a group of outstanding athletes, and that group of athletes also achieved the best results in history. Now that eight years have passed, many of the outstanding athletes of that year have retired, and even those who have not retired, their strength is not as good as before because of age or injuries. In many events, the national team is in a state of inadequacy. It is normal for the old and the young to see their performance decline.

However, Zhang Guan's performance is still brave. At the Rio Olympics, Zhang Guan still won ten gold medals just like the previous two sessions. Zhang Guan also won the most gold medals in the history of the Olympic Games with a total of 31 Olympic gold medals. athlete.

...

On November 15, 2016, the fifth round of the Russian World Cup Asian Top 12 match, the national football team was at home, and the opponent was Qatar, a strong team in West Asia.

The national football team has only 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses against Qatar in the 9 times of the world preliminaries, which is at a disadvantage. After the first four rounds, the Chinese team finished bottom of the group with 1 draw, 3 losses and 1 point. Qatar has 1 win, 3 losses and 3 points, ranking second to last in the group. The two teams can be said to be brothers in difficulty. At the same time, this campaign is also the first official match of Lippi coaching the national football team.

In the end, with the advantage of the scene, the national football team was tied 0-0 by Qatar, and failed to win a victory after 5 rounds. At the same time, the national team continues to rank at the bottom of the group with two copies, and the difference between Uzbekistan and the third place in the group is as much as 7 points.

Before this competition, the possibility of the national football qualifying was five thousandths, but after this game, the probability of the national football qualifying was only one ten thousandth. It can be said that there is only a theoretical possibility left.

The world's top football coaches cannot save the national football team. At this time, fans all over the country know that the national football team has bid farewell to the 2018 World Cup. In 2018, we have become spectators again...

"Hey, this World Cup is dead again! If you want to appear, you must win all the next five games!"

"Even if you win all five games, you are not 100% able to qualify. It depends on the faces of others."

"Yeah, I think it's a miracle to be able to compete for a third place and get a place in the play-offs. But even if you get the third place, it's definitely useless to compete with South American countries for the qualifying place."

"I don't know if I can see the national football team qualifying in my lifetime."

"Just wait. When the World Cup expands to 48 teams, maybe the national football team will have a chance."

The Internet is full of disappointed voices from fans, but there are still people who have hope. They naively think that a miracle will happen, and they think that the national football team can win all five games in the next five games.

The next match of the national team will be held in late March 2017, when the national team will face South Korea at home. In the first round of the contest between the two sides, the South Korean team defeated the Chinese team 3-2 at home.

Before the game, the national team announced the starting list, which has not changed much from the previous game.

Except for a strange name.

It's also a familiar name.

Zhang Guan!

The starting striker of the national team: Zhang Guan!

During the business trip, the update will be unstable for the next three days, sorry. After returning home on Friday, I will write the ending in one breath. Thank you for your support.
