Among the various coaches in the league, the fledgling Ke Yan is known for his "sharp offense", "excellent on-the-spot adjustment", and "eclectic change". However, after losing Odom, he seems to be powerless to stop the team's record. slide.

After losing to the Nuggets, they inevitably suffered defeats against the Spurs and Timberwolves. Duncan and Garnett scored 30+ respectively. (44-27)

When the team's first inside substitute is Cook, no matter who will be the coach and how to change the formation, he can only sigh with emotion that "a clever woman can't cook without rice".

And at the press conference after the game, Ke Yan did not throw the blame away, bluntly saying that the lineup was constructed according to his own wishes.Now that there is a shortage of manpower, I should shoulder this responsibility by myself.

Ke Yan took the initiative to take the pot, and some fans inevitably questioned him.Objectively speaking, "only" Odom was injured, and the inside was blown up so badly, and he was beaten helplessly. It really shows that the thinking of team building is too extreme, and there is no plan for possible injuries in the long season.

But most of the fans still choose to support Ke Yan. This season, the Lakers are in turmoil. The core players left. The head coach suddenly resigned in the middle of the season. The results are also in line with expectations.

As for hoarding flanks, if you don't use insiders, it's just "young people don't know the heights of the sky and the earth".

Frustrated on the court, proud in love.Ke Yan was dating Wang Lifan, and his girlfriend guessed that he was in a bad mood, so he took the initiative to send a kiss, like sticking out his tongue.

It's a bit strange to say, every time two people kiss, Wang Lifan's reaction is very big, her breathing is short, her fingers are clenched, making it look like a first kiss, but judging from her kissing skills, she doesn't look like a novice.

The two came to the restaurant for dinner. After ordering, Wang Lifan asked with a smile: "The Lakers have been losing recently. I'm still thinking about what gift to give you to make you feel better, but you don't seem to be very sad."

"So just give me luckykiss?" Ke Yan smiled, "It's actually okay. We are in professional sports, and winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. If someone only wins and never loses in his life, he can only say that he has a very buggy system when traveling gone."

With the longer time leading the team, Ke Yan's mentality has also become calmer, and he will not be easily happy or sad because of the outcome of a game, which is also a sign of being more adaptable to this job.

Ke Yan often said some strange words, Wang Lifan only regarded it as a cultural barrier between China and the United States, and didn't take it to heart.

In the afternoon, the two came to Santa Monica Beach.Santa Monica Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Los Angeles. The beach is located near the Los Angeles Airport and is the lifeline of the Western Development - the end of Route 66.

There are countless movies shot here, the most famous of which is James Cameron's masterpiece "Titanic". The boarding part of the British ship in the movie was completed here. The glimpse of Rose wearing a British top hat and raising her head gracefully is the only comment on the goddess in many people's memory.

In the movie "Titanic", Jack told Rose that he would take her to Santa Monica to ride the Ferris wheel.

The ending of the movie, they didn't come in the end.Ke Yan and Wang Lifan came on their behalf.They're not Jack and Rose, they're Kimi and Never.

Sunbathing on the beach, witnessing the beauty of the sunset, taking a walk and then having a dinner against the gentle sea breeze, this is the ultimate enjoyment given by Santa Monica Beach.

Changing into loose beach pants and T-shirts, Ke Yan and Wang Lifan walked side by side on the beach towards the sea.

The sand is very delicate and warm on the soles of the feet. If you walk too much, you will feel a little hot. The sea breeze blows on your face, and the seabirds casually land beside the tourists, staring at all kinds of delicacies, waiting for a full meal at any time. a meal.

In the distance, there were two teams of young people playing beach volleyball, and when they walked to the beach, they encountered tourists lying on the beach enjoying sunbathing.

Wang Lifan took Ke Yan's hand, pointed to the distance and shouted: "Let's go forward, there are few people over there." As he spoke, he shook off his little feet and ran first, looking back while running, smiling all over his face.

Wang Lifan started running very happily, and stopped running after running for a while, she couldn't run anymore, running on the beach was romantic and strenuous!

Wang Lifan stopped running, and Ke Yan stopped chasing him, and the two talked and walked on the beach one after the other.

Tired from walking, I just sat down on the beach to rest, overlooking the blue sea level of the Pacific Ocean.

Ke Yan sat down next to Wang Lifan, and the air on the Santa Monica beach seemed to be filled with the smell of the ocean. The waves were covered with the light given by the sun and rushed to the beach. Smelling the smell of the sea, he felt inexplicably comfortable.

The beach is the easiest place to spend time. Keyan does nothing, lies on the beach, listens to the waves, watches the sea and basks in the sunset, completely empties his head and doesn’t think about anything. He really enjoys this leisure time.

After a while, Wang Lifan kicked Ke Yan, who had his eyes closed, "Asleep?"

Ke Yan still closed his eyes, "I'm emptying my mind."

"Don't let it go, let's go cycling."

"How to ride a bicycle on the beach?"

"Stupid, there is a special driveway." Wang Lifan stood up and pulled Ke Yan's shoulder after speaking.

Route 66 was built not far from the beach, dividing the leisure area and the beach into two. The infrastructure developed in the leisure area is very sound. There are not only many restaurants and hotels, but also entertainment such as ferris wheels, roller coasters and carousels. facility.

When they arrived at the bicycle rental place, Ke Yan had a whim, and the two rented only one bicycle, and Wang Lifan sat on the back seat.

This situation reminded Ke Yan of a movie from his own era.

"Have you seen that movie?"

"what movie?"

""sweet"."

"Ah, "Sweet Honey", I've seen it." Wang Lifan agreed, moving his butt restlessly, "Isn't Li Tianwang and Zhang Yinghou starring?"

Ke Yan laughed and said, "One of the scenes is just like us."

"That doesn't seem like it's at the beach."

"Don't you think it's more romantic with the beach and the sunset shining?"

Wang Lifan nodded and hummed softly.

"Sweet, you smile sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze. Where and where have you met, your smile is so familiar..."

"Oh, not bad, even "Sweet Honey" can be sung."

Wang Lifan laughed, and kicked his toes happily, feeling extremely proud.

In Wang Lifan's singing, Ke Yan was full of energy, and he stepped from the parking lot to the pier in one breath, just like knocking on the middle cover of a new cover, without sore waist, leg pain, or panting.

"Never, it's time to stop."

Hearing this, Wang Lifan jumped out of the car, squinted his eyes and looked at the beach pier. The sunset had already touched the horizon, and a group of seabirds flew in the halo of the sun, adding a touch of dreaminess.

Ke Yan got out of the car, put down his bicycle, and walked towards the beach pier.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Ke Yan's shadow stretched out, Wang Lifan looked away and followed Ke Yan's footsteps and followed him to the pier.

The pier is all made of wooden boards, and when you step on it, it makes a "dong dong" sound, which is very rhythmic.

After walking about a hundred meters, the two stopped, leaning on the iron railing to admire the last sunset.

"so beautiful."

Ke Yan couldn't help but nodded, "Yes, very beautiful."

The last ray of afterglow disappeared, only the bright red clouds remained in the sky, the flying seabirds disappeared, and there was silence between the sea and the sky.

. . . . . .

After losing three games in a row, the Lakers ushered in a wave of sweet schedules. At the end of March, they faced four tank teams, the Jazz, Clippers, Warriors, and Hornets.

The Lakers under Ke Yan did not lose the chain, seized the opportunity, completed a wave of four consecutive victories, and improved the team's score to 48 wins and 27 losses.

In the Eastern Conference, this result ranks third, not to mention a place in the playoffs, and even the home court advantage in the playoffs is basically guaranteed.

But in the West, this result is only the same as that of the Rockets, because the results in the same division are slightly inferior, ranking sixth, and even "only" five wins ahead of the ninth-ranked Timberwolves. In theory, there is still a possibility of being eliminated from the playoffs possible.

It can only be said that the current situation in the league where the West is strong and the East is weak is getting more and more serious. Eastern teams can make the playoffs lying down, but in the West, they are very rolling.

In the days when Odom was away, Kobe increased his firepower output and scored more than 35 points in four consecutive games. He has now raised his scoring average to 30.6 points per game, ahead of Iverson. 30.4 points, if there is no accident, he will win the first scoring champion in his career.

Coincidentally, the Lakers' first opponent in early April was the Philadelphia 76ers led by Iverson.

Kobe once again ushered in the number one enemy of his career. Iverson's relentless pursuit of the scoring list gave this game more meaning.

The 76ers completed a deal in the middle of the season. The team "robbed" Chris Webber from the Kings with three blue-collar players, hoping that the joining of the old Kings could help Iverson make a career this season .

However, the facts seem to disappoint them. The combination of Iverson and Webber has been obviously incompatible from the beginning. The answer is that they are not willing to give up part of the ball for this new teammate. At a shooting point with open space, Weber's top support ability is almost useless, and his only ability is to catch and shoot the ball and occasionally show off.

It didn't work well with Iverson, and head coach O'Brien tried to make Webber a substitute, using Webber as a strong single point. Webber was barely able to do this at his peak, but now. . . . . .

It can only be said that Iverson at this stage is really not suitable for an All-Star teammate. It is estimated that if you give him Nowitzki, he can use the German tank as Ryan Anderson.

Of course, whether Weber adapts or not, his strength lies in this, and he is much better than the Kenny Smith who was replaced.

In this deal, the 76ers can only say that they did not make a profit.The Kings on the other side are almost out of the playoffs.

What's even more frightening is that this is just the beginning!

Both losers are the most accurate evaluation of this deal!

In this game, the Lakers welcomed Odom's return, the "vacuum" inside was filled, and Lama also returned to the team's starting lineup.

The basketball drew a straight yellow phantom from the referee's hand and flew into the air. Anderson jumped high and won the jump ball.

Atkins held the ball across the half, just near the center line. Iverson had sharp eyes and quick hands and made an overhand ball after a close defense, abruptly taking the ball from Atkins.

In the opening three seconds, the fans have not all entered the field, and Iverson has added a steal to his own statistics.

Iverson held the ball and made a fast break, and Atkins struggled to chase and defend, but how many people in the league can catch up to Iverson who is fast break?

Atkins can only watch the opponent rush to the free throw line, take off, and dunk!

After the dunk, Iverson pointed to the sky, walked around Kobe and said something when he ran back.

Judging from his joking expression, it must not be a good word!

The Lakers attacked, and the fans started chanting "KOBE" in the hope that Kobe would respond to Iverson's score.

Ke Yan was speechless on the sidelines for a while. He knew that Kobe and Iverson would lose their minds in this game, but he didn't expect that the fans would go crazy just after the game started!

All the fans are shouting Kobe's name, what can he do?What can Odom do with the ball?Honestly give the ball to Kobe~

Kobe didn't speak. Facing Iguodala's defense, he just lowered his head suddenly with a sneer on his face, pressed the basketball, and rushed to the right side of his body!

"Snapped!!"

After Kobe's left toe slammed onto the ground, the basketball quickly swept in front of him and was handed over to his right hand. With a dribble in front of him, while the center of gravity of Iguodala's body was still moving to the right, From his left, roaring past!

At this moment, something that everyone couldn't believe happened!Iguodala turned around suddenly, took a lightning step, and sideways blocked Kobe in front of him.

He is affectionately called "little AI" by 76ers fans, not only because of the initials of his name, but also with the expectations of 76ers fans for him.

Iguodala's offense is mediocre, and he belongs to the kind who is good at everything but unstable in all skills.But he has improved rapidly on the defensive end, whether it is confrontation or flexibility, he is excellent, and he is good at defending various types of outside scorers.

Kobe took a step back, turned around and shot back again, almost jumping up against Iguodala's body!

Iguodala stuck close to Kobe, jumped up with all his strength, stretched his right hand straight, and swung towards Kobe who was in a shooting position.

In the air, the bodies of the two were getting farther and farther away, and Kobe leaned to the left, making a difficult shot with almost losing his balance.

The bodies of the two fell from the sky to the floor almost at the same time, but the distance between them was at least one and a half meters apart!

"brush!"

A soft voice sounded, it was really soft, but in Iguodala's ears, it was as loud as thunder!

He has really achieved the ultimate in defense!

After scoring the goal, Kobe roared angrily, with a chilling expression on his face.

The game has just begun!

The 76ers attacked, Iverson held the ball, and Atkins defended alone.

Iverson bent his legs, raised his arms suddenly, and pressed the basketball under his left wrist. His left toe hit the ground with all his strength, and his whole body instantly moved to Atkins' left.

Atkins did not dare to neglect, and withdrew his left foot back to keep up with Iverson's breakthrough.

After Iverson's right foot touched the ground, he quickly kicked towards the ground with all his strength. Relying on his explosive power, he instantly pushed his body in the opposite direction at high speed, and then, suddenly from the right side of Atkins, he swept away Pass!

An ordinary swing from right to left, but with Iverson's excellent explosive power and coherent technical connection, it produced a jaw-dropping visual effect!

Facing Anderson's supplementary defense, Iverson dexterously avoided the opponent's waving big hand in the air, spun with his fingertips, sent the ball to the backboard, rebounded and spun into the basket.

Iverson showed off in the away game, Kobe couldn't admit defeat at home, the basketball was passed symbolically twice from the outside, and finally came to Kobe's hands.

After a fake move, Kobe suddenly accelerated, ignoring Iguodala's annoying waist pinch on his waist, and the inside line full of white figures in front, and jumped up with one foot!

Iguodala then jumped up, and there was Haitian Dalembert standing in front of Kobe, and the two teamed up to completely cover the basket.

Inhale, retract the abdomen, and switch the ball from the right hand to the left hand. Kobe can free his left hand in the air double-teaming of the two, pull out an open space, grab the ball with one hand, and slide out an incredible beautiful line in the air. The traces of Dalembert's upraised armpit, poked through, and dialed out again.

The referee's whistle sounded sharply, and after the basketball fell into the basket, everything became great.

Kobe was pressed heavily on the floor by the sea people, but he still managed to get up. His stubborn expression, his tightly pursed lips, and his tightly knit brows, in the eyes of the fans, the picture was very beautiful.

The free throw went into the basket, and Kobe slowly retreated to the backcourt amidst the cheers of the audience.

There were two rounds of confrontation in the opening match, and there was no winner. Iverson did not further turn the game into "two people playing, eight people watching". Webber took the ball in the low post, turned right and dribbled the ball, followed by a left-handed hold , flashed the shot angle, and hit a mid-range half-block.

Such beautiful singles are rarely seen in Webber now.

Odom pulled to the flank and cooperated hand-in-hand with Kobe, and blocked Iguodala by the way. Kobe caught the ball and made a shot, attracting Alonzogie and Dalembert to defend.

Kobe's straightened body suddenly shrunk down again, his short body hit the ball straight to the floor, and passed the ball between the two of them.

Odom threw off Iguodala, who was switching defenses, and caught the ball sideways, and then strode into the basket with the ball. Webber wanted to make up the defense, but found that Odom had already rushed up and forced the ball to the basket. Hard on the best ending is "lose-lose", half a moment of hesitation, ushered in Odom's domineering "one-handed buckle".

All five poisons, a waste of talent, but still the most versatile player in the NBA, this is Odom! (7:6)

Iverson and Webber completed a beautiful false pick-and-roll, which restrained the Lakers' defense. Weber's extremely fast and highly efficient points assisted Dalembert's rebound on the inside (7:8)

Kobe held the ball in the frontcourt, restrained the 76ers' defense and gave the ball to Odom at the free throw line, but Odom missed a shot outside the three-second zone, and the rebound was firmly controlled by Weber.

The 76ers attacked. Iverson broke into the inside of the Lakers again and scored the ball. Alonzoki caught the ball at a 45-degree angle to the left of the three-point line, opened Butler's supplementary defense, and dribbled a step inside. A mid-range shot hit! (7:10)

After the opening carnival, it seemed that Iverson was the first to let go of his obsession and started to help the team with passing.
