On the night of the announcement of the awards of the month, the Lakers' home game against the Timberwolves also kicked off, sharing the best rookies in the West in January, Yi Feng and Karl Anthony Towns, will compete at the Staples Center.

After the opening, Towns contributed four points to help the Timberwolves lead 6-2, including a three-point shot by Kobe Bryant who also missed the basket. After that, Randle's layup was blocked, and Kobe Bryant grabbed the rebound and scored a second offense, but the Timberwolves, led by Rubio and Wiggins, played another 6-2 spurt to extend the margin to six points.

With Wiggins stealing Kobe Bryant's dunk, the Lakers called a timeout.

After the timeout, Bryant responded with a three-pointer and led the Lakers to a 6-2 spurt to narrow the gap to three points. With 3 minutes left, Kobe Bryant went off the court, Blake relayed in the air, Buss hit both free throws, and the Lakers successfully overtook him.

In the first quarter, the Timberwolves trailed by one point at 26:27.

In the second quarter, Yi Feng became the main scoring point for the Lakers, he alone contributed six of the team's first eight points, and the Lakers led by five points as Nick Young scored on a jumper after receiving an assist from Yi Feng.

With 6:35 left in the second quarter, Bryant came on, and although he had two personal fouls, it didn't affect his play. He and Yi Feng hit consecutive three-pointers to lead the Lakers on a 7-0 offensive wave and expand the margin to 8 points.

After the Timberwolves' requested timeout, Kobe made all three free throws after making a foul, and although Wiggins scored a layup in an effort to save the momentum, Bryant hit another three-pointer and scored 10 points in the first quarter to make Wiggins' young boy's efforts come to naught.

With two minutes left in the second quarter, Randle scored four straight points as the Lakers went on a 6-0 spurt to extend the margin to 15 points.

At halftime, the score was 52-66, and the Lakers led the Timberwolves by 14 points.

In the third quarter, Clarkson scored four straight points, while Wiggins and Towns forced inside to score, and the Lakers led by 16 points as Bryant hit his fourth 3-pointer.

After the timeout, Prince went off injured and Gorgui Dieng hit a three-pointer, but Williams responded with a three-pointer.

With Bryant hitting his fifth three-pointer, he not only set a new three-point record this season, but also broke the 20-point mark. After that, Towns scored five points in a row to lead the Timberwolves to respond with a 7-2 spurt, but Bryant stepped up again and scored four points in a row to stabilize the situation.

At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams was 80:92, and the Lakers led the Timberwolves by 12 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves wanted to counterattack from the beginning, but Yi Feng, who had been dormant for three quarters, did not give them any chance.

first broke through and then made a layup and caused a defensive foul, and the free throw was also hit; then stole the Timberwolves' pass and quickly split the dunk; Immediately after that, he won a defensive rebound, chased a three-point shot, and personally hit a small climax of 8-0, which instantly stretched the difference to 20 points!

Although the young wolf cubs are very tenacious and unwilling to admit defeat one by one, their efforts cannot change the situation in the face of this huge difference. The Lakers held the lead until the end of the game.

In the end, the Timberwolves lost the game 104-117 on the road.

In this game, Kobe Bryant contributed 38 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, hit 7 three-pointers to set a new personal season scoring high and a new high for hitting three-point points, and he is a well-deserved Most Valuable Player of the game.

On February 4, the Los Angeles Lakers took on the New Orleans Pelicans on the road.

Although Anthony Davis slashed 44 points and 11 rebounds, and single-handedly broke the Lakers' interior, he was obviously unable to stand alone, and there were more people on the Lakers' side who could stand up at critical moments, Kobe Bryant scored 27 points and 12 rebounds, and at the critical moment in the fourth quarter, he hit a three-pointer to stabilize the team.

In stark contrast to Bryant's reliability in crunch time, Jrue Holiday missed a late three-pointer to give the Lakers a narrow 109-106 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on the road.

In addition, Yi Feng scored 30 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds in this game, helping Kobe Bryant lead the team to victory together.

On February 6, the Los Angeles Lakers took on the San Antonio Spurs on the road.

Although Kobe Bryant continued his good form in the last game, scoring 25 points in the whole game, plus Yi Feng also scored 32 points, Aldridge made waves under the basket, the Lakers had nothing to do, and Leonard echoed from time to time on the outside, and finally the Lakers lost to the Spurs 108-110.

Leonard didn't score a lot of 20 points in this game, but he grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds. And he also snatched the most crucial rebound in the fourth quarter from the Lakers, and the Spurs relied on this unexpected offensive power to overtake the Lakers by two points, and finally maintained the two-point advantage until the end of the game.

On February 8, the Los Angeles Lakers played away against the Indiana Pacers.

Hibbert missed the game and missed out on his former club, with Robert Thackeray starting in his place.

The two sides played anxiously in the first quarter, and the score never opened.

The two teams swapped leads again at the start of the second quarter, and Paul George returned to the court to take over the offense and begin his show. Then Yi Feng didn't let him concentrate on beauty, and the two began to fight.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the difference between the two teams still did not widen, knowing that in the last two minutes of the quarter, Yi Feng hit consecutive long-range shots from the outside to help the team lead to 8 points.

The Pacers were tenacious, closing in on the margin as soon as the fourth quarter began.

With 3:20 left in the fourth quarter, the Lakers narrowed their lead to 3 points at 85:82.

Bryant took over the offense at this time, first hitting a mid-range shot, then hitting three three-pointers in a row, scoring 11 points in a row, and directly forcing the Pacers into a desperate situation.

Paul George stepped up to the occasion, first shooting a three-pointer to draw a foul on Clarkson, hitting all three free throws, and then hitting a 3-pointer on Brandon Buss to score six points in a row in just one minute to close the gap to four points.

Only those with big hearts can dance at such a critical moment. Kobe Bryant is like that, Paul George is like that, and Yi Feng is even more so.

In the next offense, the Lakers made a passing error, and the Pacers seized the opportunity to fight back and narrow the gap to two points with a single stab.

But the Pacers' immediate hope was immediately shattered by Yi Feng.

He first broke through the inside line and caused a foul, and hit both free throws to temporarily help the team stop the bleeding. Then a cold arrow from outside the three-point line was suddenly launched, and the three-point shot also went into the net, and the situation on the court quickly stabilized, and the Lakers' lead was solidified.

But that's not all, Yi Feng then snatched a ball from Paul George, Paul George was unwilling to desperately chase back, but sent Yi Feng three points - Yi Feng leaned on him to make a layup, and at the same time, he also caused him to foul, and the free throw also hit.

At 101:91, with 1:17 still in the game, the Lakers extended their lead back to double digits.

When the game got to this point, the suspense was basically gone, and although the Pacers were "struggling to the death", they were unable to turn the tables around. In the end, the Lakers won the game 107-98.

On Feb. 9, the NBA officially announced the best players from the East and West last week (Feb. 1-7).

The Eastern Conference Player of the Week award went to Isaiah Thomas of the Boston Celtics, who won all four games last week and averaged 20.3 points, 7.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks per game while shooting 40 percent from three-point range and 91.3 percent from the free throw line.

The Western Conference Player of the Week was won by Yi Feng of the Los Angeles Lakers. Yi Feng played a total of 3 games last week, winning two of them, averaging 30 points, 6.5 assists, 7 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, shooting 53.3% from the field, 45% from three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line.

Of course, Yi Feng's personal data is not much to say, but in terms of the team's win rate, he should not have won this award. Maybe the league saw that he performed so well last month, but he didn't win the Player of the Month, and he should have won the Rookie of the Month with an absolute advantage, but he shared it with Downs, so this can be regarded as compensation.

This is the third Player of the Week award of the season for the Easywinds, the first being in the first week of the season and the second being the last time it broke out before the All-Star voting deadline to coincide with Adary Ranadave's canvassing campaign.

On February 10, the Los Angeles Lakers visited Cleveland, Ohio, for the first time this season, to challenge the league's top team, the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers currently have a 37-14 record, ranking first in the East, and the second-ranked Raptors have a 34-17 record, which is still a long way from the Cavaliers.

Although the Cavaliers' record can only be placed in fourth place in the West, they are still the undisputed leader in the Eastern Conference.

Once upon a time, the league's once hyped topic of "23vs24" never made it possible to stage in the Finals, and because Kobe Bryant and James were in the East and West regions respectively, they only met twice a season, even if it was "23vs24" in the regular season, fans were not often able to see it.

Therefore, even if it is an extremely ordinary regular season, the matchup between No. 23 and No. 24 still makes this regular season more attention than many playoffs.

Visiting Lakers starting lineup: Jordan Clarkson, Yi Feng, Kobe Bryant, Julius Randle, Roy Hibbert

Home Cavaliers starting lineup: Kyrie Irving, J.R. Smith, LeBron James, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson

Tonight, No. 23 and No. 24 are both small forwards, and they are indeed a real matchup.

The Cavaliers gave the Lakers a dismount at the beginning of the game, James broke through on a rampage, scored 4 points, Smith and Love hit 3 points successively, and the three of them led the team to an 18-10 start.

The Lakers' offense improved slightly after a timeout, with Yi Feng and Kobe Bryant hitting three-pointers respectively, and they led the team to a 10-0 counterattack wave to chase the score to 24:29.

James gradually found his touch, hitting two jumpers against Kobe's defense to stabilize the situation.

Louis Williams, who came off the bench, scored all five points of the Lakers late in the first quarter as the Lakers trailed the Cavaliers by six points at 29:35.

Yi Feng turned on the scoring mode at the beginning of the second quarter, hitting three three-pointers in three minutes to help the team overtake the score at 38-37.

It was the Lakers' first lead in a game, but it didn't last long.

Irving showed off his league's best dribbling skills at the Quicken Loan Arena, juggling past Clarkson and then scoring a pull-up layup. Got both the screams of the fans and the scores, it was a perfect killing two birds with one stone.

However, this is not the end of the story, Owen's performance has only just begun!

After he broke through Clarkson again, he leaned on Randle to turn around and retreat to make a difficult jumper, and then pushed Clarkson away with a suspected foul move in the run, received the ball and hit a three-pointer, scoring 7 points in a row, and playing a 7-0 mini-climax.

At this time, Clarkson, who was undoubtedly opposite Irving in the No. 1 position, was the most annoyed.

Although the defender is always in a passive position, and the number of times he has been broken through is simply uncountable, but just now he was continuously broken through by Irving, and that kind of juggling dribble is very provocative for Clarkson. And in the end, Irving pushed him away to get a three-point shot, which was obviously a foul, but the referee didn't blow it!

This is the home whistle, Clarkson understands, but the breath in his heart has nowhere to come out, and in the next round of offense, the action is too big, and Irving creates an offensive foul.

Seeing the gesture given to him by the referee, Clarkson excitedly went over to defend, "I obviously didn't move him, he fell to the ground by himself!" Umpire! He's faking a fall—"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yi Feng quickly pulled Clarkson away. The referee frowned, didn't say anything more, and turned his head to signal the Cavaliers to serve.

Clarkson dissatisfiedly pushed Yi Feng's hand away, "Yi, what are you pulling me for?" That guy is obviously faking a fall, and I haven't made it clear to the referee yet! ”

Yi Feng glared at him, "Are you stupid?" This is someone's home field, and you used to reason with the referee? Be careful that the referee gives you a t, the gains outweigh the losses! (To be continued.) )
