Xu Xuan's training progress is very fast, and he has completed 512 three-point training.
However, there is still a long way to go before the goal of 30000, and Xu Xuan didn't dare to delay. Whenever he has time, he will practice extra three-pointers crazily while ensuring that other training is carried out as usual and his body can bear it.
Even Frank was horrified by the intensity.
And the other Lakers players were also shocked by Xu Xuan's crazy momentum.
Hey, we are clearly number one in the league. We double-killed the Golden State Warriors. Why do we double the training?
I don't understand!
They really don't understand!
"It's right if you don't understand! You don't think everyone is called Xu Xuan, do you? Or that everyone in Xu Xuan can play well? This is strength! This is a different kind of talent, you can't compare , It’s also incomparable.” Barnes shook his head and sighed.
"Look at Xu Xuan's training intensity, even if you are allowed to go, can you hold it? Can you hold it for a long time?"
"Even if you survive, with such a large amount of daily training, can you still maintain a super high level and state in the game?"
"And what about Xu Xuan? Xu Xuan not only survived, but also maintained a frighteningly high competitive state during the competition. This is simply not comparable to other people. This is called talent! Irreplaceable talent!"
Can't be envious.
You can't learn even if you want to.
However, influenced by Xu Xuan's training momentum, the Lakers' training volume like Ingram and Russell has increased, and Frank is very happy about this.
Not every player likes training, they like clubbing more than training.
After defeating the Warriors, the Lakers' record is booming.
Another two-game winning streak in the remaining three games in November, against the Hawks and Pelicans.
On November 11th, the last game against the Chicago Bulls, the final loss to the Bulls, which broke out at full strength and had a complete lineup, had no choice but to reap a defeat.
By the end of the game in November, the Lakers' record had become 11 wins and 18 losses, still ranking first in the league.
Behind, the Cavaliers and Warriors chased hard, especially the Warriors, because they were double-killed, unless the Lakers lost two or three games in a row, it would be difficult for the Warriors to catch up.
The fans of the Lakers are all happy, even if they can't continue the winning streak, they are also happy.
For them, the scene of being hanged and beaten last season is still vivid in their minds. This year only Xu Xuan came, and he directly won 19 of 17 games!
Satisfied!
They are satisfied!
Therefore, although the winning streak is now broken, the fans of the Zijin Dynasty are even less burdened.
Let go of the fight, the Lord pays the bill!
No matter what the final score is, at least for now, this Lakers did not let them down!
After the end of November, in the West, Xu Xuan won the best player of the week four times, and the best player of the month was undoubtedly given to him.
It's a pity that Westbrook averaged 11 points, 32.1 assists, and 11.3 rebounds per game in November, but he didn't get the best player of the month.
No way, this November, the record of the Lakers is too dazzling, and Xu Xuan's personal record is too strong!
而东部这边，11月份最后一周的给到了骑士队的乐福，3场比赛场均30.7分、2.7助攻、9.7篮板、1.3抢断！
The data is gorgeous!
The best player of the month in the East was given to James, who lost only two games in 15 games, and the old man who led the team averaged 36 minutes per game, and could get super comprehensive data of 23.5 points, 9.4 assists, and 8.1 rebounds!
Time to enter February.
On December 12, the third game of the Lakers' four-game streak, the opponent was the Toronto Raptors.
At the beginning of the season, the Raptors' double-gun collision was very good, and the Raptors' shooting guard DeMar DeRozan's performance was extremely strong. He scored more than 12+ points 10 times in the first 30 games at the beginning of the season, ranking first in the scoring list at the beginning of the season. Second only to Xu Xuan and Westbrook, and his classic shooting guard style of using back-up mid-range shots as the main means of attack is even hailed by fans as "Kobe's successor".
Compared with the "incompetent" Xu Xuan, DeRozan's style of play is obviously more traditional.
But Xu Xuan is different, as he said before, Xu Xuan never thought of becoming anyone, you can say that he is the successor of the "Mamba spirit", but Xu Xuan will not take Xu Xuan completely Become another Kobe.
From the perspective of the lineup, the Raptors have not changed much this year. DeRozan renewed his contract with the Raptors this summer. The contract period is 5 years and the total value is 1.39 million, which is not the maximum salary.His starting salary is 2410 million, which is 250 million below the maximum salary.
The 26-year-old DeRozan renews his contract with the Raptors, which is actually a reasonable thing.In an interview before, DeRozan said "I am a loyal person". At the same time, unlike other big-name free agents, DeRozan did not plan to meet with any other team, but was committed to finalizing a deal with the Raptors. contract.Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for the two parties to reach an agreement quickly.
According to the regulations, DeRozan can get a 5-year, 1.53 million contract at most, which shows that he has made a certain degree of concession on salary (about 1400 million sacrificed).
It was previously reported that DeRozan intends to join the Lakers to succeed Kobe. As a loyal Comey, DeRozan has always had a good impression of Los Angeles.However, this news was soon refuted by the parties involved. DeRozan has no intention of going to the Lakers and hopes to stay with the team.
Of course, the Lakers didn't expect him to come, especially since Xu Xuan hadn't confirmed it yet.
DeRozan is a player with great momentum and strength.
Assuming that without Xu Xuan, DeRozan, who urgently needs an All-Star player to sit on the field, is definitely a good choice for Los Angeles.
It's a pity that the Lakers were full of people at the time. Ah bah, Xu Xuan and DeRozan were all on their minds?
have to go back a little
In the regular season last season, DeRozan played 78 games for the Raptors. He played a lot of home games, averaging 35.9 points, 23.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 4 minutes per game, setting a career high in scoring.Under the leadership of him and Lowry, the Raptors had a record of 56 wins last season and entered the playoffs with the third record in the Eastern Conference regular season.After entering the playoffs, the Raptors went all the way. Although they lost to the Cavaliers in the semifinals, this performance is enough to satisfy the team.
However, entering the playoffs, DeRozan's performance was average, averaging 20.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game. His shooting percentage dropped to 39.4%, and his three-point shooting percentage was even more appalling. 15.4%.
For a shooting guard at the All-Star level in the new era, this 15.4% three-point shooting rate is really a bit outrageous.
Your three-point shooting rate is so poor, I will defend your mid-range and basket, and force you to shoot from the outside. The offensive method is too simple, and DeRozan still has a problem. At critical moments, he can’t be tough.
As the head star of the team, he played snakes directly when he was soft at the critical moment. Later generations of Antetokounmpo also have this problem. In crucial games, he shot crazy from beyond the three-point line, and no one dared to charge if he dared not go to the basket.
In this regard, both Antetokounmpo and DeRozan have to learn from the old Zhan. He is in his 30s, and in the last few rounds he still rushes when he should. He is very iron-blooded and does not hesitate at all.
Even if I rush in and fail to make a shot, I will draw your foul instead of just foolishly shooting from the outside and obviously failing to make a shot.
In fact, this is also the reason why the "Raptors" turned into "Cute Dragons" as soon as the playoffs came.
In other words, if DeRozan can develop three-pointers, dare to play and rush when breaking through, and increase his offensive methods, then the Raptors will not be so easy to target. Now their weaknesses are too obvious, and they play well in the regular season. Because no one is serious, wait until the playoffs, don't hammer your head out.
Of course, the premise is that the team facing the Raptors must have a defensive perimeter player, otherwise it will not be so easy to play.
DeRozan can be regarded as a low-end version of the small card. If he shoots crazy in the middle distance or suddenly opens a three-pointer from the outside, the game will be difficult to say.
Besides DeRozan, the Raptors have only one signing, and that is power forward Jared Sullinger from the Boston Celtics.
This is a one-year, short-term contract worth $600 million.With this move, the Raptors managed to upgrade the team's weak power forward position.
Sullinger himself also confirmed this on his personal social media. He wrote: "We are the kings of the North!" And this is the slogan of the Raptors.
Sulinger is likely to start next season with the Raptors center Vallance Jonas as a starting partner inside.The Raptors' power forward position has always been a weak link. Last season, they used more veteran Scola as the team's starting power forward.The joining of Salinger has upgraded the team's power forward position very well.
Due to the changes in the Celtics' style of play, Sullinger's playing time and statistics dropped last season, averaging only 23.6 minutes per game, contributing 10.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
Celtics coach Stevens said in an interview that it was a very difficult decision to give up Sulinger: "I think Sulinger is a very good player, and he will continue to become even better. ...Obviously, we had to make this difficult decision in order to get Horford. After this incident, we all have to move on. But, I believe, Sullinger will do better. I think this move even It is beneficial to his development. I know that many teams are very interested in him. I believe that he will join the team he wants to join and play a very good performance."
Jared Salinger is 2.06 meters tall and is an insider. He was selected by the Celtics with the 2012st overall pick in the first round of 21. After entering the NBA, Salinger has been able to get an average of 13.3 points and 8.1 rebounds.
However, injuries became Sullinger's Achilles heel, and he failed to control his weight when he was injured.
In Xu Xuan's impression, this guy has been sluggish since he came out of the Celtics. I don't know if the young coach predicted it in advance or what. After the Dragons, he averaged only 10 points and 8 rebounds per game. After being traded to the Suns, Sulinger tried hard to return to the NBA, but no team was willing to offer a contract, so Sulinger joined in the summer of 3.4 domestic league.
What's more funny is that Salinger, who is not wanted in the NBA, is killing all sides in the domestic league
The Raptors have a good record, currently 12 wins and 6 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference.
The competition in the east is indeed not as fierce as in the west, with a record of 12 wins and 6 losses ranking third, while in the west, this record is estimated to be outside the top five.
On December 12nd, as night fell, the game was played at the Canadian Airline Center Stadium in Toronto.
As the only overseas home court in the NBA, there are many fans in Toronto. During the warm-up, you can also see fans and enthusiastic cheers all over the field.
It’s December now, and in winter, Toronto is still relatively cold, but the fans are very enthusiastic, and the Raptors mascot “Little Dinosaur” is also holding dolls and giving out small gifts and other benefits .
Like this kind of activity, every team will have it, and it can be regarded as a kind of culture in the NBA.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, after the players from both sides entered the field, the referee signaled that the game was about to start.
The two sides sent the starting lineup.
The Lakers are the regular starters of Xu Xuan, Russell, Ingram, Randall and Yi Jianlian.
The Raptors are Lowry, Norman Powell, DeRozan, Siakam and Valanciunas.
Today, Raptors coach Casey put DeRozan in the third position.
Norman Powell was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 16th pick in the second round last year, and was subsequently traded to the Toronto Raptors.
He was named to the All-NBA First Team in the 2015 Summer League.
Powell's running and jumping ability is excellent, his wingspan can reach 2 meters, he is very good at finishing at the basket, and his confrontation ability is also good enough to hit a layup in the basket confrontation. He is an active defender and good at steals, but his shortcomings It is due to lack of height and unstable three-point ability. The template is Tony Allen, and it is no problem to be able to defend from the first position to the third position.
