The Warriors beat the Clippers at home and returned to Los Angeles with a 48-20 record against the Lakers.

By this time, they had surpassed the Spurs to return to second place in the West, five wins away from the Lakers' 53-15 record. With 14 games to go, it will be difficult for the Warriors to surpass the Lakers, but it will not be difficult to win home-court advantage in the first two rounds of the playoffs. At that time, they can avoid an early encounter with the Lakers.

The Lakers' record is not bad, but they are not the first in the league. The Celtics have shortcomings in Garnett's injured backline and have started to lose 18 games, but the Cavaliers have been gaining momentum recently, playing a wave of eight consecutive wins, losing only 14 games ahead of the Lakers.

The two most popular MVPs in the regular season are LeBron? James and Kobe? Bryant, the data is very beautiful, the record has become an important criterion for selection, the Lakers can't lose this game, once they lose, they will be two games behind the Cavaliers in the next game, and it will be difficult to catch up.

Kobe Bryant has been in a nervous mood lately, and he has to admit that the Warriors are already the Lakers' number one rival, and there is even a tendency to overwhelm them. Before the All-Star Game, he was very efficient, and after the All-Star Game, especially after Bynum's injury, he shot more and more and hit more and more irons.

On the 18th, the Lakers lost to the 76ers 93-94 at home, and Kobe Bryant was almost blown up by Iguodala. The game was sluggish and only 11 points, and Iguodala scored 25 points. And it was Iguodala who was 0 before the end. He hit a three-pointer in 2 seconds to exceed the score. The Lakers are at the bottom of the 0. Failed to create a miracle in 2 seconds, and unfortunately lost.

After the game, Kobe not only did not review his 8 shots in the final quarter, but all the first five shots missed to help the 76ers catch up with the point difference, but blamed his teammates for not being able to stand up and score at the last moment, except for Gasol, no one could stand up to help the team, in fact, this "no one", including Kobe himself.

This is Kobe Bryant, who can't tolerate the weakness and submission of his teammates, but also makes it difficult for everyone to meet their expectations. When he's disgruntled, his teammates have to beware of his Black Mamba Snake Letter, which can erupt at any moment.

After the game, there were media reports that the atmosphere in the Lakers locker room was a little tense. Obviously, not everyone can accept this kind of domineering style of leadership and trembling team atmosphere. And the nature is difficult to change, and Kobe Bryant can't change his face for this.

This time in Los Angeles, Zhou Xuan still couldn't see Sun Yue. Sun Dasheng went into retreat, and he was sent to the Defenders of the Development Alliance.

For the release of Sun Yue before the playoffs, Lakers coach Phil? "It's a great opportunity for Sun to get more minutes while maintaining NBA standards," Jackson explained. The rookie year is a learning process, and only getting more minutes can it be better for the long-term development of the players. I was amazed by Sun Yue's basketball talent, and I hope he will play for the Lakers for many seasons in the future. ”

Yao Ming, the eldest brother who is recovering from an injury, also said: "For Sun Yue, the most important thing is to have the ball to play, he couldn't play in the Lakers, but he has the ball to play in the Development League." There are a lot of players who have made their mark in the Development League and then played well in the NBA. It was not a good thing for Sun Yue to sit on the cold bench, but now, I hope he will play well and accumulate a lot. ”

But after playing 4 games for the defenders, people are disappointed in addition to Sun Yue. In the four games of the NBDL, Sun Yue played an average of 37 minutes per game and averaged only 9 points per game. 2 points 3. 5 rebounds 3. 5 assists 1. 3 steals as well as 2. 2 caps. And his shooting percentage per game is still not high, hitting 16 of 44 shots for just 36. 4% and 37 three-point percentages. 5%。

When it comes to the development league, he is actually blue-collar, and fans no longer know what to say about Sun Yue. Los Angeles fans have long had no one to support him, and some people are disappointed that the Lakers signed him instead of Zhou Xuan, who played in the defenders for a while.

It's not just the fans who are disappointed, but the Lakers uniform team as well.

Boss Bass met with Kupchak in his office and asked, "I'd like to ask you what you think of the Defenders, and I'm going to take them off for a year and move out of Staples Arena." ”

Kupchak shook his head and said, "They really didn't play a role in Staples Arena, but the offseason wasn't okay?" ”

"It's just a temporary break, and if you continue to play in the future, and if you leave here, I want to make a difference." Buzz sighed. He is about to retire and doesn't want to say that his people are incompetent, but the Lakers' scouts really didn't pay attention to Zhou Xuan, and never even recommended it. Of course, it had to do with the fact that they were playing the playoffs at the time, and all the focus was on winning the championship. After the loss of the championship, the management did not bother to care about other things for a while.

If you want to introduce Zhou Xuan, the Lakers have more advantages than the Clippers. Now that Zhou Xuan's value has risen sharply, he will have to pay the price if he wants to get the Lakers again. And the Lakers' tradition is interior luxury, not point guard.

Buss bought the Defenders in July 2006 to develop a reserve for the Lakers. But the team barely brought in any ticket sales. Their games at the Staples Center are typically played four hours before Lakers games, and Lakers general manager Kupchak is often in attendance, often with fewer than 100 spectators.

Zhou Xuan was a little better when he was there, and as soon as he left, the Chinese audience stopped cheering. Sun Yue played four games, and the situation did not change at all.

It's time for the defenders to rectify themselves. Old handsome Mark? Leonard's worries have become a reality, he will have nothing to do for a year, whether the Lakers will arrange a job for him, everything depends on his creation. The only thing that can prove his strength is not his vocational education grades, but that he once recommended Zhou Xuan to the beautiful scout Ravlin, but unfortunately the beauty didn't take it seriously.

This time Zhou Xuan is very relaxed, when he arrives in Los Angeles or visits friends, there is a party than Gorgeous Villa, Mary? Kate? Olsen invites him to join as Ashley's male companion and her own male companion is Tevo? Moretz.

Zhou Xuan saw Sister Olsen and asked with a smile, "Hey, Mary, what's the situation with you two now?" ”

"He's my henchman, he's handsome, isn't he? Ha Lu Ha. Mary laughed.

Zhou Xuan observed her expression, it was very natural, he had not been too close to Mary, so if the two were not together, it would not cause any harm.

Tevo listened to their conversation from the side, and did not show any displeasure, still with that breezy appearance, and he did not feel insulted or anything when he was called a "follower". Eyes are windows to the soul, and Tevo has two women's eyes, a bit like his sister Chloe. Zhou Xuan's impression is that this guy is indeed good-tempered, and he is too suitable to be a friend.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Xuan and Ashley came to the side. Ashley said softly, "What do you think of them?" “

"I think Tevo is a good person, but how they develop depends on Mary."

"Yes, Tevo doesn't lack experience with girls, but he seems to treat Mary as a sister, you won't be jealous, will you?" Ashley said suddenly.

"We're good friends, I'm not going to be jealous." Zhou Xuan smiled.

"You are a sincere person, we like you the most, don't worry, I've been with you for a while, Mary has changed now, she won't force anything, and she won't deliberately find reasons to make herself uncomfortable." Ashley said lightly: "She has a crush on you because they were together a lot during that time, and now you are too busy, and your mind is focused on basketball, she hates this feeling of not being able to see each other, and it just so happens that Taiwo's sidekick appears......"

"Totally understood. But Tevo didn't say he was going to cook for her, or the two of you, right? ”

Ashley was curious: "No, why do you ask that?" ”

"Because his sister said he was terrible at cooking, and I was afraid that you would eat bad food. Ha Lu Ha. ”

At this time, a mustachioed man walked over, and Zhou Xuan recognized this as Robert Jr., a famous Hollywood actor? Downey.

"Hi, Zhou Xuan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Tony? Stark, it's a pleasure to meet you. Zhou Xuan smiled and shook hands with the other party. Downey's most recent film was "Iron Man", which Zhou Xuan liked very much, and he and Nie Yuyan went to the cinema to watch it.

"You watched my movie?" Donnie was delighted.

"Of course, I've seen a lot of your movies, from Chaplin's one, you're great, really great."

"You too, I'm optimistic that you will continue to win against the Lakers tomorrow, and although this is Los Angeles, I prefer the Warriors right now."

The two touted each other and hit it off at first sight. Zhou Xuan is not pretending, he does like Downey's movies.

Born into a family of performers, Downey participated in many amateur performances at the age of five. He even dropped out of school because he wanted to pursue a career in acting. In 1993, he perfectly played the comedy master Chaplin in "Chaplin and His Lover", for which he won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor and an Academy Award for Best Actor nomination, which propelled his acting career to the peak.

But the good times didn't last long, and in 1997, he was arrested for drug use, and his acting career suffered a heavy setback. In 2000, he went behind bars for a few months, and was released from prison in September of the same year and rejoined Hollywood, but soon after he was imprisoned again for drug abuse, and his career suffered another heavy blow. After that, he began to play supporting roles in some movies, but it didn't cause much repercussions. 2007 starring David? Vinci's "Zodiac", in which the wonderful performance has attracted much attention. In 2008, he became the superhero Iron Man, and his popularity returned.

Downey asked, "How about making a friend?" I've wanted to know you for a long time. ”

"Of course, I'm honored."

Downey admires Zhou Xuan, because he is also a young man, but he once went astray, and when he saw Zhou Xuan now, he seemed to see his younger self. He wants to make a friend, and if Zhou Xuan goes the wrong way in the future, he can also bring back the stars he admires. He didn't say these words explicitly, which seemed too arrogant.

That night, Zhou Xuan met a few new friends and was in a relaxed mood. The Warriors players also have their own entertainment, and the advantage of having more players is that they all feel that they have nowhere to vent their strength, and their physical strength is not a problem at all. Even if they beat the Lakers, they have absolute confidence to win!
