Chapter 711 [The success is also the situation, the defeat is also the situation]

Chapter 711 [The success is also the situation, the defeat is also the situation]

This season, the league's strong and weak divisions are fierce. Except for the Cavaliers, Pacers, and Celtics, the East can be said to be all underdogs.Only the Clippers and Thunder seem to be competitive in the West, and even the Mavericks and Spurs have weakened.

Some literary youth began to discuss online: Has the NBA become boring because of the group?

The answer is no. In fact, the audience doesn't care if they sign up for the group. What they care about is what stats their favorite stars can produce and whether their favorite team can win the championship.

Didn't you sign up in the 80's?How did the Lakers show time and the great gods get together? Did the Celtics rely on Bird to win the championship? The Bulls' regiments in the 90s weren't big enough?

The game is not exciting anymore. The key problem is that the salary cap is growing too fast, and the ability and value of many stars will skyrocket in an advanced way and break the original system.

In addition, the decision of the Big Three of the Cavaliers in 2010 broke the rules. In the past, the management was operated in exchange for the giants. The three brothers discussed directly behind their backs, and then the elder brother came forward and asked the management to do it.Although they failed to win the championship, they still affected the balance of the NBA in the long run.

1月14日，9连胜快船对上7胜6的湖人。

The Lakers started 4 more games than the Clippers, including a three-game back-to-back. From the schedule, we can see some tendencies of the league, and they have weakened their support for the Lakers.

Not only are the players playing poorly, but the Lakers management is also under enormous pressure, and things have not gone well this year.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Lakers began to fall sharply on a trajectory that people could see from 11 to the bottomless abyss.In the past, the king was ranked last in the West for consecutive years, and went straight to the No. [-] pick.

The reason for this tragedy is due to Kobe's aging, his style of play is too simple and rude, and the change in the attitude of the league is the key.

The league in this life is not bad for the Lakers. In previous lives, Stern could prevent Paul from joining the Lakers for "basketball reasons".

Lamar Odom, Scola, Kevin Martin, Dragic and the 2012 Knicks first-round pick that the Hornets got at the time were worth more than Gordon, Kaman, Aminu and the 2012 Timberwolves Lower picks?

To put it bluntly, it was the Lakers' sky-high broadcast contract.

For a long time, Lakers owner Jerry Buss was Stern's ally and friend. It was Buss who suggested to Stern that "the NBA should create stars", which led to the rapid development of the NBA in the past 30 years.

The Bass family still maintains the original idea of ​​"building stars and building a big market", and after the NBA cake became bigger, Stern began to consider common prosperity.

Time Warner's contract makes the Lakers an outlier. It is also a TV broadcast contract. The Grizzlies, Suns, Hornets, Bucks and other teams only have about [-] million US dollars, which has seriously affected the pattern of the entire league.

This year, Stern was really afraid that Facebook would also announce a monopoly on the Clippers’ broadcast rights in the summer, so that other bosses would make trouble even more. Fortunately, Facebook didn’t do that.

No matter what Thomas Bentley and Yang Rui are considering, Stern is relieved. He will retire in two years. He hopes to wait for that day in peace. Now he only needs to suppress the Lakers.

There is no shortage of this phenomenon in any commercial league. For example, there have been rumors that UEFA is suppressing the Premier League for many years. It is precisely because the Premier League’s profitability is too strong that it is not conducive to the appreciation of the UEFA Champions League brand.The more the Lakers make, the more badly the NBA brand will suffer.

The friendship between Stern and Bass is not worth mentioning in the face of interests, not to mention that now the old Bass is seriously ill and the younger Bass is in the position, let alone giving them face.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Stern prevented the Lakers from getting Paul, and did not hesitate to expose the idea of ​​suppressing the Lakers in order to "balance the rich and the poor."

In 2012, the NBA sold the Hornets, which had hosted the Hornets for more than one season, for a total price of only $3.35 million. Three years later, the Milwaukee Bucks, whose status and strength were not as good as the Hornets, were sold for $5.5 million. The premium of the NBA team is at the cost of the loss of the interests of the Lakers. It is the tacit understanding reached by the NBA small market team and the league during the 2011 lockout.

The outside world has always viewed the 2011 labor negotiations as a confrontation between owners and players, and at the same time, the counterattacks launched by small-market teams to the Lakers were ignored.Buss Jr. once said with some lament: "Most teams are targeting the Lakers, and they think that everything we do is unfair."

Before the lockout, the Lakers paid about 500 million to the league each year because of the regional TV broadcast contract. After the lockout, the Lakers’ “protection fee” increased more than 10 times, and they had to pay the league between $5000 million and $8000 million each year.

After this lockout, many teams got rid of the loss.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in the 2012-13 season, Jordan's Bobcats claimed to have made a profit of $800 million. In fact, they lost $600 million, but they received an extra $1400 million in dividends from the league, and part of the $1400 million was due to Lakers money.To put it nicely, the NBA is "equalizing the rich and the poor", but to put it uglier, it means that the small-market teams are "eating the big players", in the same way as other NCAA programs eat basketball and rugby money.

It is not difficult to see that in 2014, the new president Adam Silva used Sterling to fall into a crisis of racial discrimination, forcing him to sell the team to the super-rich Ballmer, and also had the idea of ​​supporting the Clippers and weakening the influence of the Lakers in Los Angeles.

As far as business is concerned, it is not enough to stand out. Even if the market value of the Lakers soars to 50 billion or even 100 billion US dollars, as long as most of the league's teams are still losing money, the overall value of the NBA will not rise.Suppressing the Lakers, as long as more teams benefit, will be of greater help to the NBA. After all, this is no longer 30 years ago, when the NBA was eager to open up the situation. Sharing adversity and sharing wealth and wealth are undeniable truths everywhere.

As an old rogue, Jerry Bass is not a thing in the pool. When he encounters a situation, he will turn into a dragon, and the dragon in the sky will change. He will swim in shallow water between the wind and the cloud.

The Clippers made the most correct choice, regardless of profit, attracting fans with exciting games and building a broad fan base.

In this game, Yang Rui did not start Tony Allen, and fought with the Lakers to attack.

The Lakers have not been able to improve in terms of inside pick-and-roll defense and point guard defense. In this case, the Lakers backup striker Matt Barnes was still out due to injury, and the defense became weaker. Luol Deng was full of loopholes on the flanks.

DeMarre Carroll has the potential to be a good role player, but Byron Scott never liked him, and management traded him to the Nuggets for a second-round pick.

In the Lakers, Carroll is a lot like Cunningham, a small 4 with aggressive defense and short range.

Playing at the 4 position, he is a rough guy. He is still short and has no advantages. In fact, as long as he plays small forward, his defense will become very good, and he will become a 3D player if he practices 3-point shooting.

After playing a few games as a substitute, Love asked the management for a theory, and returned to the starting lineup. When he returned to the starting lineup, he didn't have much ball rights, so he could only be a fort on the periphery, and his defense was sparse.

The Lakers' bench was not led by a scorer, and the attack power was poor. Murphy and Mike Roberts were not good at attacking with the ball. The Clippers led by 24 points at halftime.

In the end, the Clippers won 130 to 94. Six of the team scored in double figures, and four scored 20+.

湖人只有三人得分上双，加索尔17投7中，14分7篮板3助攻；乐福13投6中，三分球2中0，12分13篮板4助攻。

科比28投14中，三分球5中2，罚球14中12，得到42分7篮板4助攻。
