Although the expected and unexpected loss to the Knicks caused a wave of ridicule of the Lakers from the outside world, there was not much change within the Lakers. Zhao Wei lost a little bit of the haze of losing because of the Porzingis matter, and he was thinking about how to solve the Porzingis matter. The rest of the team doesn't have a big impact, because it's normal for young teams to have ups and downs and lose. Their ability to win eight in a row was already a surprise to everyone. And everyone feels their growth. At the same time, Luke Walton did a very good job of losing the game. First, the players were brought together, and the veteran players took the lead in some relaxing activities, etc.

The Knicks' game is actually just the beginning of their difficult road, although they have played the Rockets and Suns on the road but the road is relatively close, and their hard schedule of seven consecutive road trips has just begun.

After losing to the Knicks, they will begin their remaining four road trips, which are the Kings, Nets, 76ers, and Cavaliers. Three of the opponents don't look strong, but they all have some headaches.

Zhao Wei: They first went to the Kings to play. In the Kings' game, Zhao Wei played very depressed. Although Zhao Wei played well and scored 17 points, the process was disgusting. It can be called the dirtiest game since Zhao Wei entered the NBA. Or it can be said that the level of referees is indeed too low.

Cousins and Randle can be described as brothers, but Cousins opened less than four minutes, and he secretly used a small move on Randle to put Randle directly on the ground. And the referee actually gave Randle a technical foul.

Luke Wharton was furious on the spot and immediately rushed to the referee and yelled. At this time, the referee didn't know what hesitation was. Xiuxiu directly gave Luke Wharton two technical fouls, and directly gave Zhao Wei and their head coach to the game. Three closing fouls and one shooting foul at once. The Kings were given five free throws at once, and the seven-point lead was instantly reduced to two points. This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the morale of the team.

Zhao Wei was very angry, even if we are a young team, you have to give us some color to build your prestige in the league, but this is a bit too much.

Zhao Wei was about to counterattack immediately, and after breaking through, facing the defending Collison, Zhao Wei held his elbow, and the Collison guy flew out directly.

"I'm kao." Zhao Wei almost scolded angrily. His elbow was still twenty centimeters away from Collisson. You flew out for me. The referee also gave Zhao Wei a technical foul immediately to save face.

Zhao Wei began to wonder at this time whether these three coaches were the fucking ones that the Kings were looking for. It's still going to play.

One team gave four technical fouls in less than half a quarter. That's a record for the Lakers. It's just a shame that it's a shameful record.

The Kings took the opportunity to overtake the score. Since then, Zhao Wei and the others have never been able to turn the score back.

Rudy Gay's defense made Zhao Wei very uncomfortable. And that Cousins guy is a big killer for the Lakers. The entire inside line took turns to fight, and he was going to be crippled.

Of course, the Lakers will resist, and every time they play some small counterattacks, the momentum is just showing a little bit. The referee who made Zhao Wei grit his teeth with hatred will appear, and then give the Lakers a slap in the face very shortly. The momentum was extinguished in an instant.

But fortunately, the score was somewhat bitten in the first half, but in the second half, all of a sudden, the Lakers lost power. Zhao Wei found that everyone else seemed to be unable to play, and the moment they got the ball, their faces showed panic, and every attack ended hastily. The second half collapsed instantly, and in the end, Zhao Wei and they directly defeated 20 points.

After flying back to New York, the Lakers challenged the Nets. One of the worst teams in the league this season. And although the Lakers did not let the victory slip away this time, the process was also difficult. Jeremy Lin and Brook Lopez both played well. As a big center, Lopez actually made four three-pointers.

Fortunately, the others are just too weak. The Lakers won the game hard.

After playing this game, Zhao Wei and the others flew to Philadelphia non-stop to challenge the 76ers.

This game is a very important game for the Lakers, and it can be described as a battle of righteousness. The opponents have acquired a number of talented players through the swing, and they have vowed to rise this season. Both sides want to win this game in order to prove that their talent is better than the other's. The future is yours.

The Lakers are well-staffed, and the 76ers are relatively young, but they have their Embiid. This season has been dominating the Rookie of the Year rankings. Zhao Wei had done a lot of video research on this guy before. This guy's skills are a little rough, and in the previous two years of truce, although he didn't play, he saw a lot of things on the field. With a little brain, this guy is confident enough. He dares to make shots, dares to make moves, and he has always had a good performance in such a team.

The same young 76ers, they can't avoid ups and downs, and Luke Wharton has developed a strategy specifically for Embiid based on Zhao Wei's words. It's about defending this guy's dribble. As long as you dare to dribble, then go for it. Shoot after receiving the ball, just interfere. The one who defends himself is that he makes moves. As long as he makes a move, a strong defense can amplify Embiid's weaknesses infinitely, and then he can disrupt his offense. Without Embiid's support, the 76ers are undoubtedly the worst team in the league.

This time, Zhao Wei and they did it very successfully. All the credit goes to Randall. Randle managed to contain Embiid.

Seeing Randle's performance, Zhao Wei couldn't help but start to imagine a possibility, if Porzingis came, let the two of them switch positions, Randle will play center, and Porzingis will play power forward.

The Lakers still won two in a row after losing to the Kings, but the biggest problem was just revealed at this time.

Zhao Wei: They came to Cleveland, a small city that had just won the championship last season.

James, Irving, and Love. I don't know when, the Big Three has become the standard configuration of James's team. These are all later words, Zhao Wei's arrival for the powerful Cavaliers did not even make them interested in training.

The beginning of the game was lazy and lazy, and the Lakers had not yet pulled down the score, and even sometimes they were able to lead by a few points, but in the second half, the Cavaliers' defense suddenly strengthened, and in five minutes, in just five minutes, the Lakers once again appeared that they would not play, and the situation on the court changed drastically. The Lakers completely collapsed, losing by 27 points in the end.

A 50% win rate in four games is reasonably satisfactory, but the Lakers have exposed huge problems. I don't know when, the Lakers' collapse in the second half became habitual, as long as the opponent has a superstar, a little play, the Lakers players are stupid.

Luke Walton approached Zhao Wei to discuss the Lakers' current problems. The reason why Zhao Wei was found is because Zhao Wei now looks like one of the most normal players on this Lakers team. But the two didn't come up with any good solutions right away. Because it's all about changing the psychology of the players. And the Lakers don't really have the ability to solve this kind of problem right now. And the most critical point is that the current Lakers team can be said to be the sons of the sons, everyone has not determined their position, and everyone is competing for the position of the leader. Young people are inherently unstable, and if they are allowed to do too much, it is easy for them to think differently. Luke Wharton's approach has worked well before. The scramble for the first place continues to create a winning possibility for the current underdog Lakers, but now that you have been studied a little more thoroughly, the Lakers' tricks are no longer as effective as they used to be. So the best solution is to elect the Lakers as the leader now, and the matter will have to be negotiated by Luke Walton and management.

And Zhao Wei also talked to Luke Wharton about Porzingis. This is certainly what excites Luke Wharton. But if you want to add this matter, then the Lakers, who are a little chaotic now, will only be more chaotic. Luke Wharton was both painful and happy. Zhao Wei will not look for this kind of trouble, he will leave the problem to Luke Wharton and stop thinking about it, and focus on the rest of the game. He doesn't want his team to keep losing, or it will only add to their playoff hopes.

But the unsatisfactory things in the world are ** out of ten.

The Lakers' journey wasn't a happy one. The next three games, the Hornets, the Heat, and the Magic.

The Lakers lost all of their games without exception, and they lost in exactly the same way.

At some point in the second half, the entire team would suddenly lose power, leaving the opponent to be crushed in an instant. It is impossible for Zhao Wei to carry the team on his shoulders alone. It's a whole team on the other side. Zhao Wei doesn't have the strength to fight the whole team now. Faced with two or even three people, Zhao Wei could only pass the ball out, but his teammates couldn't send the ball into the basket.

The atmosphere of the Lakers, who have lost four in a row, is so oppressive that it is difficult to breathe. Everything seems to be back to the 12-game losing streak at the start of the season. And that time it was Zhao Wei's return that saved the whole team, and now that Zhao Wei is also there, who can save the team.

But fortunately, at this time, God gave the Lakers a chance to breathe. Christmas is here.

The Lakers can finally stay in Los Angeles for a few days while they have more time to prepare for their next game. Because they are about to face their opponents at home, the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Christmas vs. Los Angeles derby is also the highlight of the league's arrangement. Since the Los Angeles Clippers acquired Chris Paul, they have suddenly become a league powerhouse, and they seem to be thriving compared to the Lakers, an aging team that is in decline. With such a performance, the Clippers have an idea. They want to challenge the former king and slay him in their place. Become the new owner of the city and transform Los Angeles into an empty city instead of the original Purple and Gold Dynasty.

But the Lakers' decades-old prestige is something that the Clippers can replace if they want to. Even if the current league decisively abandoned the Lakers after tasting the sweetness.

However, the Clippers were not competitive enough, and although they were strong, they never made it to the Western Conference Finals.

Finally having a few days off, Luke Wharton didn't schedule any training, he gave the team a holiday to let the team think about relaxing.

Zhao Wei didn't practice for himself either. He also returned home. After all, he has been away from home for so long, and there are still two women at home waiting for him to take care of.

"I'm back!" Zhao Wei shouted as he stepped into the house, "Who is this?" At the same time, he saw a man sitting in the living room.

The suit is straight, and under a pair of black-framed glasses is a seemingly delicate but mature face, with a glint in his eyes, and at first glance he is a person who mixes in various social places.

Seeing Zhao Wei coming back, Lucy immediately got up and glared at Zhao Wei secretly. The tacit understanding between the two made Zhao Wei instantly understand Lucy's eyes.

"You do your own good deeds, solve them yourself."

"Mr. Zhao Wei. Hello. Then the man in the suit stood up and said, "I am Mr. Abel's assistant." My name is Mabwell. ”

"Hello Mr. Mawei." Zhao Wei politely shook hands with the other party. At the same time, Zhao Wei asked Lucy with his eyes, "What about Kylie Jenner." ”

Lucy rolled her eyes upwards and told Zhao Wei that Kylie Jenner was hiding upstairs.

Zhao Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Maiwei saw the exchange between the two, but he didn't speak. It wasn't until the two finished communicating that he spoke: "Mr. Zhao, I received an order from my boss to visit Mr. Zhao Wei today." At the same time, we will discuss the details of what Mr. Zhao Wei said last time. Mr. Abel is very much looking forward to this cooperation, so I hope that we can start working together as soon as possible. ”

"Ahh Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment, then remembered the transactions he had talked about with Abel before, and said with a smile, "Of course." I am also looking forward to working with Mr. Abel. ”

Seeing Zhao Wei coming, Lucy was also relieved.

When she suddenly broke into such a person before, she thought she was here to arrest Kylie Jenner. But hearing that it was Abel's man, Lucy's brows furrowed again.

Zhao Wei doesn't have much cooperation with others now.

At this time, there is another person who is negotiating with someone, and that is Luke Wharton.

The rest of the people are gone, but Luke Wharton is not on vacation. He went straight to Kupchak. told the Lakers' current difficulties and solutions.

It sounded like an easy thing to solve, but Kupchak frowned.

"Manager, is this hard?" Luke Wharton was getting a little impatient.

"So be it. Luke, you go back first. I'll get back to you when I'm ready. Kupchak said.

"Hurry up, then. It's about to start the game against the Clippers. We can't afford to lose this game. Luke Wharton knows Kupchak doesn't want to say it now, and he can't hold on to it. That will only make things worse.
