Chapter 21 NBA, here I come!

The Lakers won 4 and lost four times in the NBA preseason.

This score can only be considered average and does not meet the Lakers' championship status at all. However, the preseason opening was originally just a process of adaptation for players, and the scores were not recorded in the regular season record.

Duan Ran has been following the Lakers. To be precise, he is paying attention to Zhou Mubai.

But strangely, Zhou Mubai doesn't seem to be valued. He only plays for a few minutes in each game, which is no different from other rookies, and is even worse than other rookies, because preseason is often the stage for rookies.

The Clippers' Griffin performed very well, averaging 29.5 minutes per game in six preseason games in his rookie season, scoring 17.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks with a comprehensive data of 17.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks with a shooting percentage of 59.7%.

Unfortunately, he was injured in the last preseason game - he sprained his kneecap when he landed after finishing the dunk.

It is said that after a period of rest, Griffin increased his exercise volume during training, but unexpectedly, as the exercise volume increases, Griffin's injury further deteriorates.

In order to better continue his career, the 2009 No. 1 pick will have to undergo knee repair surgery. However, due to the long recovery cycle of such surgery, it will take at least 4-6 months, and Griffin has to say goodbye to his rookie season.

Zhou Mubai did have good performances in his few playing time, at least in terms of offense, but because of his playing time, he was not noticed at all. Even though he was in the Los Angeles Lakers, the team in the spotlight, even if he was a Chinese with his own traffic.

It’s not that Chinese fans care about Zhou Mubai, but after watching a game, a few minutes of playing time won’t attract much attention at all. Over time, not many people will pay attention.

But for a professional like Duan Ran, a few minutes is enough for him to see a lot of things.

He was just wondering why the Lakers coaching staff did it, so why didn't he give Zhou Mubai more time to play.

...

Phil Jackson's Office.

Kobe asked in confusion: "Phil, I have a question..."

"You want to ask why I give Zhou so little playing time?" Phil Jackson squirted a cigar.

Kobe nodded. He had already recognized Zhou Mubai during this period of time.

Zhou Mubai's diligence moved him. NBA is a cruel field. Most of the players here are diligent, but it was the first time he saw Zhou Mubai, and even he felt ashamed.

Phil Jackson tilted his head and thought for a while, "There is no reason, I always don't think of him when I arrange it."

Kobe: "…"

Phil Jackson smiled: "Just kidding, his stage should be in the regular season, and preseason is...well, too pediatric?"

Kobe: "…"

Kobe turned around and left.

You can say whatever you like, I won't believe it anyway.

Phil Jackson smiled as he watched Kobe leave.

He is very optimistic about Zhou Mubai, but the only core of the Lakers is Kobe. After winning the championship, the Lakers players are all heroes of the championship. If he wants to use Zhou Mubai, he cannot be above many heroes as soon as he comes up.

Phil Jackson played a little trick and asked Kobe to discover Zhou Mubai. He successfully pushed Zhou Mubai up, and the player leader and the head coach jointly recommended a person. No one would object to this change.

Phil Jackson felt that Zhou Mubai should be able to take on the second team organization. As for the critical moment, he naturally trusted Fisher, who had an unusual position in his heart.

On October 27, 2009, the NBA regular season officially began.

The fans who had been suffering for several months were all excited. The long long period of grass was too difficult. Finally, when the regular season started, fans with conditions flocked to the home team stadium to watch the game.

The Lakers' first game was at home Staples Center, and their opponents were in the same city... The Clippers are not called the Lakers' mortal enemy. They may have a chance in the future, but they are definitely not now.

The Clippers' history has not been able to get rid of the status of a weak player since 1970, and the best result is not in the semi-finals of the division.

It can be said that choosing Griffin this year is the beginning of the Clippers' real turnaround.

To be truly strong, we have to wait until Chris Paul joins, but Paul will not join in 2011, and it is still early.

For Lakers fans, today's game is just a traitor.

The Lakers were the champion of last season, while the Clippers were the second-last in the West last season, so what is comparable?

However, after the opening, Lakers fans found that it was not the case.

To be honest, the Lakers are in good shape tonight. Although Gasol cannot play, Kobe exploded as soon as he got up.

Kobe played in the first quarter, made 5 of 9 shots, and scored 13 points. Odom and Bynum scored 17 points together and scored 30 points in the first quarter. In fact, this score is quite outstanding.

But the Clippers did not show weakness either. Sophomore rookie Eric Gordon scored 10 points with a breakout and a shot. Kaman, who was 213cm, actually scored an efficient performance of 4 of 4 shots and scored 8 points against Bynum.

There is also Byron Davis, who is close to his career tacit understanding, facing Fisher, and scored 8 points and 3 assists!

Instead, the Clippers led the Lakers by 6 points with 36:30!

This left Lakers fans stunned.

This is not the right way to open.

But when I looked at the Lakers' bench, the Lakers' players were chatting and laughing, and even Kobe didn't have a stern face, chatting with the rookies around him with a smile... Hey, what rookies?

The live commentator smiled and said: "...The Lakers are worthy of being the champion team. Although they are behind in the first quarter, their smiles show that they are not depressed by it. They are in a relaxed mood. Look, Kobe is also chatting with the rookie. Speaking of this rookie, it is Zhou Mubai from China. He performed very well in the preseason. It seems that he and Kobe have a good relationship..."

"Come on week, prepare and come on stage later."

Zhou Mubai was stunned and looked at Phil Jackson. Phil Jackson had turned around and communicated with others.

Zhou Mubai was stunned. This time period is wrong. In the preseason, he will basically wait until the game enters garbage time before he can play. Why did he get him on the second quarter today?

Kobe smiled and said, "Come on, warm up and prepare to play, and perform well."

Zhou Mubai nodded, looked up and looked around the Staples Center full of Lakers fans, and chuckled softly.
Chapter completed!
