The regular season has lasted two weeks, and almost all teams are complaining about this damn schedule.

All teams played at least two back-to-back games in these two weeks. The unlucky ones, like the two unloved Canadian teams, played three back-to-back games.

The first team to suffer a wave of injuries was the Golden State Warriors.

Penny, who had been away from the competition for a long time, could not withstand the torture of the harsh schedule and soon put up the exemption card.

"The biggest problem is that the people who make the schedule may have never played on the court and they don't know how much of a burden back-to-back is for the players."

Mavericks coach Don Nelson publicly criticized and questioned the schedule.

Ewing, who has been hostile to the league since the lockout, also said sarcastically: "If I play two games in three days, I can play more than 36 minutes in each game, but if I play two games in two days, I

We have to grasp the big ones and let go the small ones.”

Faced with the flood of criticism, the league did not make any statement.

After all, it is the responsibility of both parties.

Why is the schedule so tight? Because of the suspension. Why is there a suspension? I don’t say who is right, but the fault is definitely both sides.

As for the TV broadcasters, the NBA's live broadcast share and time are set, which is from the end of October last year to mid-to-late June this year.

Something went wrong in the NBA itself, causing the season to be unable to start as scheduled, and the TV station cannot change the live broadcast plan for you. Therefore, the league can only suffer from the players.

The attitude of the alliance is very clear. If you want to criticize, you can criticize as much as you want. It is impossible to change.

The tough schedule is not good for those who slack off in training during the offseason, and it is an even more difficult challenge for veterans.

Therefore, teams like the Trail Blazers that rely on old-school stars have experienced obvious ups and downs in their records.

The Knicks are the team least affected.

Although Ewing and Stockton are old, Miller is not too old yet, and McGrady and Hill are young and strong enough to protect the old men.

But the East is not the Knicks' world.

The team currently dominating the Eastern Conference is the Orlando Magic.

Pippen, who was thrown to Orlando by Boston, finally realized that he could not become the first core of a playoff-level team.

The Magic have two Mesozoic superstars who are in their prime. What they need is a veteran who can hit the ground running, not an old man who likes to put on a bad face.

Alongside O'Neal and Webber, Pippen became much more honest, and the Magic achieved the league's second-best record of 7 wins and 2 losses as a result.

However, the Magic still look far inferior to the defending champion Lakers, who have won nine games in the opening season.

Facing the same tough schedule, the Lakers have the least complaints.

The only person who expressed dissatisfaction with the intensive schedule was not the players but the head coach Louis.

Louis bluntly criticized this ridiculous schedule: "From a competitive point of view, there is no rationality in back-to-back schedules. It is impossible for a team to maintain its best condition after going through back-to-back schedules. Players are worried about injuries and are generally tired of playing. This

In this case, not only will a high-quality game not be played, but the game may also be passive and slow, and the fans’ viewing experience will be greatly reduced. No matter which side, this is a loser-no-win situation.”

Louis' words clearly explained the dangers of back-to-back, but back-to-back will still exist.

There are many well-known man-made disasters in this world, but even if countless people criticize it, it still stands because its existence itself represents the interests of the vast majority of people.

If the NBA no longer plays back-to-back games, the regular season game schedule will inevitably be lengthened, and the entire season will be extended. This will completely break the TV station's broadcast plan and will also collide with many focus programs. For the TV station, Ratings for professional basketball are pretty good, but far from enough to warrant drastic changes in broadcast plans.

Once the schedule is extended, the NBA will inevitably collide with those excellent programs that have a large base. As a result, the TV stations will naturally choose the more important and the less important. The live broadcast of the game will be significantly reduced, and the broadcast is related to the wallets of both labor and management. Contracts would not be as generous as they are today.

Therefore, complaints are complaints, life must go on, and everyone needs these billions of businesses to support their families.

Louie's complaint is purely to stand up for other teams.

After all, it can be said that the Lakers are not affected by the schedule at all.

It can even be said that this inhumane schedule has alleviated the Lakers' internal conflicts to a certain extent.

Because of the tight schedule, when there is a back-to-back, Louis will deliberately let the main team play less and allocate more time to the second team that desperately needs playing time.

In this way, the main players get some rest time, and the second team also has opportunities to play, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.

Just as the Lakers were preparing for their third back-to-back game this month, Bodilloga caused an off-court incident.

This was something Louis didn't expect.

It sounds like this is something Rodman could get into.

The reason is this. Since Bodiloga came to the United States, although his net worth has increased sharply and he has been reluctant to sign various advertisements and endorsements, he has not changed his frugal style at all.

There is no nanny at home because his family can cook for him.

You don’t need a driver when traveling, he can drive himself.

Even if he goes out to buy something, he won't bother anyone.

On February 20, Bodilloga went to the supermarket as usual. Then, a father and son came into the supermarket. When the father entered the supermarket with his child in his arms, he was laughed at by some low-quality Americans.

Because his child looks ugly, one of those people who would be picked out at a glance if thrown into a crowd.

The father was angry and wanted to fight with them in the supermarket.

Friendly Bodi Luojia stepped forward and said: "They have gone too far. Go and teach them a lesson. I will keep an eye on this little monkey for you."

As you can imagine, the father, who thought Bodiloga was laughing at his son, became angry and threw the former to the ground on the spot.

In the end, both of them were taken to the police station. After the incident was exposed by the media, Bodiloga's image took a turn for the worse.

Louis could only be thankful that the father and son were white. If they were black, the consequences would be disastrous.

A well-known NBA player called a slightly less cute black kid a monkey.

Fortunately, Bodilloga's attitude towards admitting his mistake was good and the situation did not escalate further, but it was enough for the Lakers to impose a one-game suspension on him as a team punishment.

February 21

The Lakers challenged the Pistons away from home. Wilson and Kobe both broke out, scoring 82 points together and leading the team to a 40-point victory over their opponents.

The next day, the Lakers flew to Phoenix to challenge the Suns.

Bodiloga returns from ban.

The depressed European magician decided to use a series of dazzling data to clear his reputation.

After several years of running in, this Universe Lake team has formed a tacit understanding within itself.

If someone is in hot form, others should help him produce luxurious statistics.

This was the case for Bodiloga tonight. He wanted to improve his statistics to vent his anger, and he was in good form. Everyone understood it.

Try to create mismatches for him. If there are rebounds, give them to him if you can. If anyone misses the chance ball he sent, take the initiative to admit his mistake and let him maintain confidence in his teammates.

In this good atmosphere, Bodilloga shocked the United States in his first game, scoring 44 points, 22 rebounds and 20 assists in a single game, a super luxurious triple-double.

"I'm not what the newspapers say," Bodiroga said. "I'm not a child."

Louis also came out to excuse Bodiloga at the right time: "I can assure anyone that Dejan is a good person. To me, he is as simple as the boy next door. Not only outside the team, even within the team,

He also often has misunderstandings with his teammates due to cultural and language issues. We must know that he is a good player, but he is also a foreigner who is trying to integrate into American society."

Since then, this page has been closed.

Louis hoped that Bodiloga would be a good person and continue to improve his English.

The fact that Bodiloga called the little boy a monkey will most likely become a personal anecdote in the future, like the story of Buckley spitting at the person who called him a curse and accidentally spitting it into the little girl's face.

Back in the locker room, Bodilloga wanted to thank his teammates for their support tonight, but was too embarrassed to speak.

When Garnett was talking about his skills in picking up girls, Bodiloga couldn't help but interjected: "I have experience in this. I met a German woman in the bar last time, and she and

I am very in tune with it, especially I like to apply cream all over my body and then clean my tongue.”

"Well"

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they all showed expressions of wanting to vomit.

Duncan was calm, and he said seriously: "Dejan, do you still remember the days during the training camp when you were scolded by the coach every day because of your weight?"

"I remember."

"We felt awkward about your condition at the time, but in order not to affect your weight loss, we would not say anything that would make you uncomfortable."

Bodiloga nodded and said: "Thank you for your understanding, I appreciate it."

Duncan said seriously: "Now is the time for you to repay your kindness."
