The Lakers, who rushed from Philadelphia to Washington overnight, welcomed their second opponent in back-to-back games, the Washington Wizards, after a short break. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the 76ers and Wizards are in the Atlantic Division and the Southeast Division, the distance between Philadelphia and Washington is not far, only 220 kilometers.

Moreover, Washington, as the capital of the United States, has quite convenient transportation; Philadelphia is also the second largest city on the East Coast of the United States, and it is even more closely connected to the capital Washington. No matter how you choose transportation, you'll be able to get from Philadelphia to Washington in no time.

The Washington Wizards, founded in 1961 and joined the NBA.

The Wizards, also known as the Washington Wizards (because of their name, Wizards), are the team with the most name changes in the NBA. From 1961 to 1962 it was called the Chicago Packers, from 1962 to 1963 it was called the Chicago Westwinds, and from 1963 to 1973 it was called the Baltimore Bullets; After the team moved from Chicago to Washington, it was renamed the Capital Bullets, and from 1974 to 1997 it was the Washington Bullets.

In 1997, the team officially changed its name to the Washington Wizards, which it continues to use today.

Since the '60s, the Wizards have been one of the powerhouses in the East, making consecutive playoff appearances and winning the first championship in franchise history in 1977-78.

However, the Wizards played the underdog most of the time in the '90s, only making the playoffs in the 1996-1997 season. With Gilbert Arenas' strong rise in the 2004-05 season, the Wizards returned to the playoffs.

But from 2008 to 2011, the Wizards missed the playoffs for three consecutive years before returning to the playoffs in the 2013-14 season, led by players such as John Warr.

The Wizards' current home arena is the MCI-Centre. Opened in 1997, the arena has a capacity of 20,674 spectators, making it the third largest arena in the league.

It's also home to the NHL's Washington-Capitals and the WNBA's Washington-Mysics.

Due to its location in the capital, the design of the museum is full of style, and the large screen in the center of the venue is controlled by an SVS system using LED technology, which has ultra-high brightness and clarity; There are a total of 114 luxury suites in the venue, which are not only large in number, but also luxuriously decorated.

For the locker rooms of the home and away teams, the design of the stadium is equally brilliant, elegant and elegant. Other teams in the league are visiting the home of the Washington Wizards, and although the journey is difficult and the game is tiring, having such an away locker room can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

On December 3, the Los Angeles Lakers' away game against the Washington Wizards officially began at the MCI Center in Washington.

The Lakers' starting lineup is still the same: Jordan Clarkson, Yi Feng, Kobe Bryant, Julius Randle, Roy Hibbert

The starting lineup for the Wizards is: John Wall, Bradley Beal, Otto Porter, Jarred Dudley, Marcin Gortat

The Wizards' lineup is still very competitive. The backcourt combination of Wahl and Beal is second only to the Warriors' "Splash Brothers" and the Raptors' "Iron Blossom Brothers" in the league. Last season also made it to the second round of the playoffs!

However, their current 7-9 record ranks only 10th in the East, and they are still some distance from the top eight with playoff spots.

The Wizards have won seven of their last 16 games; In the past November, they have won just four of their 12 games, and a wave of three consecutive defeats was followed by another wave of four consecutive defeats!

With such a competitive lineup, it is impossible to achieve results, and Wizards head coach Randy Whitman is also a little at a loss. Fortunately, yesterday, they won their first game of December, which can be regarded as a good start for December.

The Wizards, who ended their November campaign with a four-game losing streak, won the game in the first game of December, despite facing the mighty Cavaliers.

The first contributor is, of course, the team's leader Warr, who scored 35 points and 10 assists to lead the team to a 12-point advantage to put the Cavaliers, the first in the East, to the ground.

With the joy of defeating the Cavaliers, the Wizards rushed back to their home court to face the visiting Los Angeles Lakers.

This game was not a back-to-back for the Wizards, but the level of fatigue was about the same.

Both sides are tired and tired, and the key to winning or losing this game is who can last longer and be more excited.

After the game began, Hibbert scored a jump ball in the middle circle to win the first wave of offensive ball possession for the Lakers.

Although it was only a big game yesterday, the Wizards who returned to their home court got off to a good start, with Beal and Wahl scoring four points each to lead the team 7-14.

Bryant scored six points and Clarkson hit a three-pointer to lead a 13-0 spurt that put the Lakers up 20-14 midway through the first quarter.

After that, the Wizards also colored, and Gortat scored three consecutive interior offenses.

The Lakers maintained their offensive firepower after switching to the bench, and Williams and Tzu Shiping each hit a three-pointer to lead the team to a 10-2 attack wave to end the first quarter and give the Lakers a 34-22 lead.

Because Yi Feng didn't have a good rest last night, and the thoughts in his mind were too chaotic, the state he showed in the first quarter was even worse than yesterday's beating the 76ers!

1 of 7 shots and just 3 points!

People are easily swayed by emotions, but as a professional basketball player, you should stay focused on the court and not be distracted by emotions off the court.

Although Yi Feng is a genius, he is still too young after all.

Fortunately, Kobe Bryant's good form after the start of the game continued, and after the start of the second quarter, he scored 5 points alone, and the Lakers stretched the advantage to 17 points!

However, the Wizards, who are playing at home, did not give up.

Gortat maintained his interior aggression and added four points to the team, and Warr-Er scored back-to-back breakaways to close the gap to 11 points with 6:30 left in the second quarter.

Randle then scored twice to lead a quick response with eight points, and the Lakers regained the lead.

At this pace, the Lakers will be able to take the game away in waves. But it's a pity that this is a sudden change in the situation, the Lakers are completely dumb on the offensive end, and they shoot iron in a row!

Bryant was no longer on fire, and Yi Feng, who had high hopes, was still in a state of disorientation, scoring five points on 2-of-5 shooting in the second quarter, but had a whopping three turnovers. Scott quickly swapped Yi Feng and let Nick Young come up.

Maybe it's because of the bad state caused by the exhaustion, and Nick Young didn't contribute much after he came on the court.

The second quarter ended with a 17-4 surge by the Wizards.

At halftime, the score was 57-51, and the Lakers' lead was reduced to just six points.

The Wizards came out firing in the third quarter, with Beal, Dudley and Wahl each hitting three-pointers to put them on an 11-4 run to put them up by one point at 61-62.

Yi Feng finally recovered and scored four points, and Randle also scored four points on two breakaway layups, and they led the team to a quick response to a 10-3 mini-surge.

The Lakers took another six-point lead at 71-65 with 5:30 left in the third quarter.

But then Wizards leader Wall-Er stepped up, and he scored six straight points to help the Wizards close the score and stabilize the situation.

After that, the two teams played several offenses, and the Lakers led by three points at 78-75 at the end of the third quarter.

The Lakers' shooting percentage dropped after the start of the fourth quarter, with the Wizards' Gary Neal hitting two jumpers and Raymond Sessions scoring twice, and the Wizards rewrote the score to 82-86, overtaking the Lakers by four points.

At one point in the first half, the lead was as high as 17 points, but in the crucial fourth quarter, the Lakers lost all these points and fell behind by 4 points!

Big ups and downs, don't go too fast!

If it had been placed in the past, the Lakers would not have been in a hurry when faced with such a situation, because Yi Feng would have stepped up.

However, in this game, Yi Feng's state was as bad as the previous game, and even worse! The performance of 1-of-7 shooting in the first quarter, 2-of-5 shooting in the second quarter, and 3-of-8 shooting in the third quarter made Scott reluctant to put the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

In the end, Bryant had to take the lead alone.

In recent seasons, with the decline of Kobe's competitive form, many people's expectations for Kobe have also been reduced to just seeing him play on the court.

But Kobe Bryant will not "fall into self-depravity", he is still the paranoid who is extremely demanding of himself. Even if his physical condition is really not as good as before.

In fact, compared with the previous games of the season, Kobe Bryant's trend this game is still as "high and low" as ever - in the first 9 shots at the beginning of the game, Kobe hit 5 of them and scored 14 points. However, at the end of the second quarter and the third quarter combined, he took a total of 4 shots, but did not score a single ball, and only scored 5 points on free throws.

But even so, Scott feels that compared to Yi Feng, who is in a sluggish state, Kobe Bryant is more able to take on the task of leading the team to catch up.

Fortunately, Kobe Bryant did not live up to his expectations, and in the fourth quarter, his hand was back!

Not only mid-to-long-range consecutive shots, but also signature turnaround jumpers. For a while, many fans in the MCI Center Arena were boiling.

But who would have thought that more exciting things were yet to come. With one minute left in the game, the Lakers trailed by one point at 98-99, and Bryant received the ball from outside the left three-point line. After calling Hibbert to cover for himself, Kobe Bryant took a step to the left, and at this time, Porter, who was defending him, was blocked by Hibbert, and Gortat, who was making up the defense, was one step away from Kobe!

Between the lightning and the fire, Kobe Bryant pulled up a three-point shot!

The ball left Bryant's hand and flew towards the basket, where Bryant stood straight with his right hand held high like a sculpture.

As the ball fell into the net, Bryant turned and ran back, his right hand still held high. Many fans at the scene were boiling, and it seemed that it had become the home of the Lakers.

Then the Wizards attacked, Gortat hit a basket, and the two sides fought to a 101-101 tie.

At this time, it was Kobe Bryant who stepped forward.

32.3 seconds before the end of the game, he took the ball on the right side of the three-point line, and in the face of Porter, Bryant motioned to Hibbert, who came up to cover him, to sink to the bottom line and open up space for himself.

Then, he accelerated to his right, and Porter subconsciously stepped back, ready to block Bryant's breakaway lane.

But Bryant immediately made a quick stop, followed by a jumper. In the air, Bryant also made his signature waist twist in order to increase the power of his shot.

is the same as Kobe Bryant's many shots in the past, and unlike Kobe's many recent shots, his ball shot through the Nets again!

103:101, Kobe Bryant helps the team take a fatal lead before the end!

Williams then hit both free throws, and with 20.9 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Lakers led by four points, 105-101.

Then the Wizards' Porter missed a jumper and chose to foul Randle. Randle hit one of two free throws to give the Lakers a five-point lead.

After receiving the ball in the backcourt, Warr rushed to the front court to grab a three-point shot, and the Wizards trailed by only two points at 106-104 with 7.9 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

However, the Lakers still have the ball in hand, and the Wizards are clearly on the losing track. In the end, they struggled to the death, and continued foul tactics, which could not prevent them from sliding into the abyss of defeat.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Wizards 110-104 on the road, and walked away from the MCI Center in Game 2 of a back-to-back.

For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant scored 31 points, shooting 10 of 24 from the field and 4 of 11 from three-point range! In addition, he also had 4 assists and 3 rebounds, which is a well-deserved first credit.

Yi Feng scored only 17 points on 6-of-20 shooting, which was not only outrageously inefficient, but also set a new low for his single-game scoring record with 17 points per game.

Clarkson had 16 points, four rebounds and three assists, Randle had a big double-double of 15 points and 19 rebounds, Williams had 12 points and four assists, and Brandon Buss had 10 points and five rebounds.

For the Wizards, Warer scored 34 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds, compared to 35 points and 10 assists against the Cavaliers yesterday. It's a pity that the more glamorous his stats are, the more they set off Kobe's excellent performance.

In addition, Gortat also had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Beal had 11 points and six assists.

After the game, Kobe Bryant and the Wizards players hugged each other. At this moment, a fan wearing a yellow Lakers jersey rushed into the court, hugged Kobe Bryant's back and didn't let go. Although he was immediately arrested by the security guards who caught up, the fan still smiled happily.

There are many such fans in the MCI Center arena, the home of the Wizards.

Bryant's way of expressing his gratitude to the fans was by putting up a great performance.

"It was like a movie," Clarkson said in an interview after the game, "and in the final moments of the game, he took over the game and threw all those balls in." It's all crazy. ”

Wahl, who was booed by the home fans for failing to win the game, also embraced it all after the game.

'We played well enough, but obviously they played a better game.'

"You know who I'm talking about. Yes, Kobe Bryant is the kind of old guy who should retire from the stage of history, but he taught me a good lesson tonight. ”

"But I have to thank him, because in him I see something called never giving up. Hopefully I'll be like him in the future. (To be continued.) )
