Chapter 672 672. The suspension ends!
Just after the Lakers won three consecutive victories in the tyranny, they lost to the aggressive Cavaliers who came to Los Angeles.
This time the Lakers are fully prepared, resorting to the style of play that Bickerstaff used to beat the Bulls who won the first three consecutive championships when Bickerstaff coached the Nuggets in the 90s, and replaced Muttom with Whiteside Bo's defensive tactics are indistinguishable from those of the Cavaliers.
But in the end, the Lakers lacked players who could break the stable rhythm of the court during the stalemate. Instead, Irving of the Cavaliers took the lead in several consecutive breakthroughs. The Lakers finally lost 92 to 97 to the Cavaliers.
After the battle against the Cavaliers, Kobe played nearly ten games in a row and was exhausted. He had to take a truce in the next few games. The Lakers lost to the Nets in the second game after the Cavaliers. It is true that Kobe and Liu Ren Not here, the Lakers suddenly didn't know how to play.
In the next few games, Kobe also played on and off due to physical problems. Fortunately, there are not many strong opponents in the next few games. The Lakers won more than lost, and they were only run to death when they met the Nuggets of the track and field team. One, other games including the game against the Knicks were won at home.
Finally, on March 3, after the Lakers beat the Kings at home, Liu Ren's 14-game suspension finally ended!
Liu Ren was suspended for 15 games. His overall record was 11 wins and 4 losses. Overall, he was not bad. His record became 53 wins and 13 losses. They may be able to catch up with the Warriors, but they don't care.
Because the Spurs have been playing in the recent period, the Spurs only got a record of 10 wins and 4 losses during Liu Ren's suspension. The Lakers still have three wins over the Spurs. The Spurs are now 52 wins and 16 Losing, the Lakers still maintain the second advantage in the Western Conference, because the Trail Blazers and Clippers, who are fourth and fifth in the Western Conference, have not yet reached 50 wins.
The Blazers are only 44 wins and 22 losses. Although the Clippers have 47 wins, there is still a gap with the Lakers, and it is basically impossible to catch up.
The Cavaliers in the East are now 49 wins and 16 losses. The overall record in the East is more even this year. For the time being, there is not even a team with 50 wins. Difficult, so the Lakers also began to prepare for the playoffs with peace of mind.

"Six feet eight inches barefoot."
"Six foot nine in shoes."
"252 pounds, [-] percent body fat."
"Vertical bounce 40 inches."
"8 feet 8 inches tall."
"A run-up touch of 12 feet 45 inches and a run-up bounce of [-] inches."
"40 yards in 4.6 seconds, 10.9 meters in [-] seconds."
"..."
"..."
Liu Ren is undergoing the first physical examination after returning to the team, and the injury has fully recovered a week ago, but the team's trainer has not arranged basketball training for him, but has been giving him training flexibility, mainly 20 The ankle that has not dared to move for many days needs to be rehabilitated.
Even ordinary people can accumulate a lot of meat in their thighs and calves without walking around for more than 20 days, let alone athletes with a high metabolism and a large appetite.
Gary Vidy took the data after the physical test and said to Liu Ren: "Boss, your weight is not well controlled, and all you gain is fat. Your body fat percentage has increased by two percentage points. You have to control your food. It's better to eat less protein and sweets, eat more fiber, your speed has also dropped a little, it's time to lose weight."
"Gary, you can't blame me for this. You guys didn't let me train. I told you that my feet are fine." Liu Ren complained helplessly, blame me for gaining weight, and eat your rice!
Gary Vidy gave Liu Ren a blank look, and he wanted to send the latest physical test report to Kupchak. In fact, although he was strict in his mouth, he was very surprised by Liu Ren's recovery, but he was strict in his mouth. That's all. In fact, Liu Ren is the best player he has ever seen after a truce for more than a month.
"Watt? Gary, the boss is two centimeters taller than at the beginning of the season?" The magician looked at the physical test data and didn't care much about Liu Ren's speed and weight. This is normal, but he saw Liu Ren's latest Then he said in surprise, "Didn't the boss show that the epiphyseal line was closed during the physical examination at the beginning of the season?"
Liu Ren was already [-] meters in the last season, but he hasn't grown since then. The Lakers also think that Liu Ren will not grow taller, and Liu Ren's height of [-] meters is enough for a small forward. , Occasionally it is enough to reach a power forward, so it doesn't matter if it is long or not.
But now it has grown by another two centimeters. Although it still belongs to six feet eight inches, it is the highest among six feet eight inches. One more centimeter can be regarded as six feet nine inches.
Gary Viddy didn’t pay attention to height, because one or two centimeters can’t be seen at all. He thought for a while and said: “Usually, the epiphyseal line will start to close after the age of 20, and the epiphyseal line of the boss also shows at the beginning of the season. It has been closed, but it may have grown by two centimeters during the last period of closure, which is more common, but it is basically impossible to reappear in the future."
The magician nodded. He was actually a little scared. If Liu Ren continued to grow taller, it would not only be a bad thing, but it might also cause Liu Ren's current strength, which has been steadily rising, to decline.
The magician looked at the physical test data again, and it was really amazing. Except for James and Jordan, all outsiders in NBA history, including Kobe and Carter, can't compare with the physical test. Only James, Jordan, and Tracy McGrady can complete it. Such physical data.
After reading it, the magician asked, "How is it? Can the boss resume training now?"
"Actually, the team doctor gave me permission to resume full training a week ago, but I think Boss has played too many games in the past two years. Compared with his previous two seasons, the increase is too much. Rest as much as you can. For a moment, I don’t have to worry about the rankings because of our record, it’s postponed until now.” Gary Vidi explained.
"You did the right thing. We need to be more cautious. Boss is our future. He can't have any problems." The magician approves of Gary Viddy's approach. After all, the chief trainer of the Lakers for more than 30 years, the magician When he was a player, Gary Vidi had already worked for the Lakers, and he had a lot of respect for Gary Vidi.
"However, there is another problem. Our next game will be against the Warriors. Boss has gained 7 pounds of fat in the past month. If he wants to play, we can't guarantee his condition. Now I have to report to Mike that he is allowed to participate in the game. ?"
"..." The magician was silent for a while and said, "Let the boss fight, if he knows that he is not in good condition, he will pay more attention to losing fat..."
