Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight of the revival of the Lakers(2/2)
At this point, this summer's free market has officially settled.
After this wave of free market turbulence, the league structure has changed accordingly, and there are more things to watch.
On the Lakers side, because of the feud between James and Green, it was definitely a highlight when the two teams played against each other.
And whether the Lakers can break the Warriors' dominance in the Western Conference in recent years, and whether James can stabilize the championship in the first year like he did when he joined the Knicks.
Can the Nets become another team to complete three consecutive championships after the Lakers at the beginning of the century?
These are all points worth looking forward to in the new season.
Then, just as the free market came to an end, the league announced that three new rules would be implemented in the new season.
First, the second attack time is changed from the original 24 seconds to 14 seconds;
The purpose of this rule is obviously to speed up the pace of the game.
Second, it is to simplify the foul rules on the offensive path.
This is a bit troublesome to explain, but its general meaning is to loosen the standards of the game and better protect offensive players.
Third, the standards for flagrant foul calls have been expanded and the penalties for flagrant fouls have been increased.
The reason for adding this rule is obviously related to the flagrant fouls in the finals of the past two years. Those things are obviously not conducive to the globalization of the NBA.
And next season, actions such as "kicking the egg" will also be included in the scope of flagrant fouls.
The promulgation of these three rules caused an uproar for a while.
Because of the league's new rules for the new season, many teams have been watching. They want to see how the league will target the Nets like it did against the Lakers.
The result...is this?
These three rules are even beneficial to the Nets to some extent!
Article 1: The second attack time is changed to 14 seconds, which means that it is difficult for the offensive team to make a tactic after grabbing offensive rebounds.
In other words, the second offense will rely more on singles to end the offense.
And this is what the Nets are best at.
The second piece is good news for offensive teams.
As for the Nets' offense, any opponent they have played against knows how tough it is.
Article 3: Although the Nets have many bullies, they are not deliberately looking for trouble. They are all counterattacks against malicious fouls committed by their opponents.
The addition of this rule is undoubtedly good news for the Nets, because they can really concentrate on playing!
So in the end, these three pieces of news are all beneficial to the Nets!
This time, Tatum was criticized miserably by fans of some teams.
Stern was trying his best to prevent the Lakers from completing three consecutive games, but Tatum not only failed to stop him, but instead added fuel to the fire!
However, Tatum should be helpless at this time.
Because with the implementation of no-handhek, it is irreversible to let go of the offense.
Moreover, the Nets are different from the Lakers back then. The core players of the Nets are strong not because of the rules, but because they themselves are very strong.
So you can't limit them the way you historically limited Harden.
And unlike O'Neal, they are more outside players.
You can't help but let people shoot, right?
So it’s not that Tatum doesn’t want to target him this time, but he really has no choice.
But it is precisely because of this that many fans are looking forward to next season.
Because what's good for the Nets is also good for the Lakers.
The Net-Yong battle pattern may really be broken next season. After many years, fans will be able to see the Lake-Net battle again.
Of course, everything is just an expectation before it happens, and the results will only unfold in the new season.
…
Brooklyn, Chinese restaurant.
Lin Ying came here non-stop after finishing training.
The reason why he came in such a hurry was because of one person, Kobe.
Kobe came to Brooklyn alone, and his face didn't look too good.
Lin Ying hadn't seen Kobe for a while. After sitting down, he reminisced about old times and started talking about things.
Soon, Lin Ying knew why Kobe had this expression.
It's not that he feels distressed about not flying in a helicopter, but...
"I almost don't recognize this Lakers team anymore."
Sending George away was a stab in Kobe's chest. After all, George was a die-hard fan of Kobe. It is better to say that he went to the Lakers because he liked the Lakers. It would be better to say that he went to the Lakers because he liked Kobe.
But it just hurt Kobe.
Sending Gasol away would directly pierce Kobe's heart.
Jenny really didn’t give Kobe any face.
So it's no wonder why Kobe reacted like this.
Because he has been a Laker all his life and has fought for the Lakers all his life. Not long after he took off his jersey, he experienced what it means to leave with a cup of tea.
Lin Ying can understand Kobe's feelings very well.
He even struggled to get the Lakers to trade Davis, but that was more because of the Lakers' reputation.
There probably was no thought of Kobe at all.
The Lakers are "reviving", but they are no longer the familiar Lakers.
So after hearing Kobe's bitter words, Lin Ying smiled and looked at the Black Mamba, who was both his teacher and friend, and said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
