After easily winning the underemployed trailblazers, there is only one opponent left before the All-Star game. This is the only one the Lakers haven't met this season - Denver Nuggets!
It's hard to believe that this is the first time the Lakers have met with the Nuggets this season, but that's how the League hung up. Sheng Sheng arranged their first meeting in the last round before the all star game. Maybe stern wanted these two strong teams to give the all star a try.
"Plateau, my TM is here again!"
"Dry, as always cold, every time I come here, I feel I have gone to the North Pole."
"Ah, this familiar and thin air. Be reasonable. Maybe there will be a market for selling air here."
"I hope the team has the oxygen bottle ready. I don't want to tell you about it here."
…… Forenoon of
10, the Lakers' charter flight landed on the Denver International Airport at the same time. When they left the plane, the Lakers would make complaints about the cold wind.
make complaints about Tucao, make complaints about the food. After arriving at the hotel, Jifeng and Farmar and others went to a restaurant to get their meals.
To be reasonable, Denver should be one of the cities that Jifeng is very familiar with. For two consecutive seasons, the Lakers and the Nuggets have met in the playoffs. In addition to the regular season, Jifeng has to be 7-8 times a season.
"Guys, eat quickly, finish eating, go back to rest for two hours, and train as usual in the afternoon." The Zen master told him before the meal.
Playing away in the afternoon before the game began training, which is the standard of the Lakers when facing strong teams. Obviously, the Lakers and the first meeting with the Nuggets are still very important.
There is no way to ignore the Nuggets, not to mention that the Nuggets were rivals in the Western Conference finals last season, but this season, the Nuggets are hard to ignore.
In the summer of last year, the league's top players were attracted to strengthen their fighting power, while the Nuggets "went against each other" and lost Duntai Jones and Linus cresza, two powerful players, without bringing in powerful players.
Before the trade deadline, all the championship teams made final adjustments to the lineup. For example, the Cavaliers, the number one in the East, actually completed a big deal before the deadline. They sent off the big Z, the main internal player of the team for many years, and exchanged their number two figure, Jamison, from the Wizards!
It's a big draw, and it's beyond people's expectation. For Jamison, the Cavs have been salivating for a long time. Although this top student of North Carolina is about to turn 34, his condition has not declined at all. So far this season, he has been able to contribute 22 + 8 data for the team every game, just like a top player's skill.
In fact, as early as December last year, the Cavaliers were interested in Jamison, but the Wizards refused Cleveland on the pretext that "the two teams are enemies.".
However, the world is hard to predict, did not expect two months later the Cavaliers harvest their favorite player.
Jamison will form an inside partner with O'Neal to attack the championship with James. In the outside world, Jamison is the most suitable interior player for James. He has stable offensive firepower and various means. No matter which team he is, Jamison is the key player to score. His outside shooting is very accurate, if the team needs, he can also play under the basket, although he is not a good defender, rebounds, the ability to assist in defense are criticized, but the Cavaliers have O'Neill and Valerio, which are enough to make up for Jamison's defensive gap. After Jamison's arrival, the Cavaliers also gathered together the strongest starters on paper!
Everything looks so good.
James was excited to welcome Jamison on the social networking site. During the talk, James expressed his desire for the championship this season.
In addition to the Cavaliers, including the Spurs and Suns, all the playoff teams have made adjustments to the team, of course, not including the Lakers. After all, the Laker lineup has nothing to adjust.
But the Nuggets are another team that is firmly on the Diaoyutai, and they, like the Lakers, did not make a deal.
There's no sense in the outside world, because the Nuggets just went back to two tough players, and they still got 30-18 record, ranking second in the West. Although they won more than a dozen games less than the Lakers, their strength was widely recognized.
In the last game, the Nuggets beat the visiting Celtics at home. Last month, they beat the Cavaliers and magic in the away game. As a result, their record in the eastern three strong Cavaliers, Celtics and magic reached an amazing 6-0, all swept. No team in the league can be compared with it, even the Lakers have lost Give the green a game!
After the Cavs have completed the transaction, some media regard the Lakers and nuggets as two reasons for the knights to trade. After all, the Cavaliers face the first two games in the west, which is absolutely the reason why the Knights must promote the transaction.
"We still don't get enough attention from the league," Anthony said angrily. "It's obvious that we didn't play well, but no one regarded us as the favorite team to win the championship."That's right. Because the Western Lakers are dominant, many people ignore the Nuggets again. They are only fifth in the championship table, lower than the Cavaliers and magic.
So Anthony is also very dissatisfied, he directly issued the title declaration, this season the Nuggets will again challenge the Western powers.
"It's not easy to be a leader," Anthony said. I will lead the team in my own way, I will try to play hard and set a good example for other players
"Anthony has taken on the responsibility of leading the team forward. Everyone respects him. He's great. " Billups said before the game.
And Nene said that the goal of the new season is not to become an all star, but to help the team to a higher level.
To a higher level? That's the finals.
But the Lakers obviously will not despise this opponent, this is also the last hard stubble before the all star game, the Nuggets will not easily give up the victory.
And the Lakers don't want to lose. This game is not the same as before. Facing the second in the Western Conference and the most direct competitor in the finals, the Lakers naturally hope to win perfectly.
On the night of February 11, Denver home, the first and second in the West will collide!
Nuggets start with Billups, Alvaro, Anthony, Nene and David Anderson.
Los Angeles Starters: Ji Feng, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Bynum.
"Welcome to watch the focus match. I'm Yujia!"
"I'm Yang Yi!"
"Director Yang, the starting point of the Lakers is still very interesting. Ji Feng played the first starting point guard for the first time. He didn't let the old fish play. It was Wang's explosion. However, the Nuggets didn't let Martin start, but went inside. Both teams have some special preparations for this game."
"That's right. It seems that both teams want to win the first place in the opening game, and it depends on who can seize the opportunity."
