After a long and half month away from the home court, the Lakers won a hearty victory with a 20-point advantage under the watchful eyes of the home team fans in the Staples Center Arena. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Lakers' record has improved to 14-11, and their winning percentage is climbing little by little, and they have a chance to sit on the top of the list - sitting in eighth place in the West while moving towards seventh place.

The Bucks, on the other hand, had a 9-18 record, dropping to 13th in the East, which is also the third-to-last.

In this campaign, the Lakers blossomed more, and there were 7 people who scored double-doubles.

Bryant had 22 points and six assists on 7-of-15 shooting, Yi Feng had 29 points, six rebounds and four assists on 10-of-18 shooting, Williams had 12 points and four assists, Randle had 12 points and 14 rebounds, Clarkson had 10 points and six rebounds, Hibbert had 12 points and 11 rebounds and Nick Young had 10 points.

For the Bucks, the very positive McCarvey had 21 points, five rebounds and five assists, Middleton had 16 points and four assists, Antetokounmpo had 15 points, six rebounds and five assists, Jabari Parker had 12 points and four rebounds, Plumlee had 10 points and eight rebounds, and Mayo had nine points on 3-of-11 shooting.

In fact, the young lads of the Bucks played very aggressively throughout the game, which is commendable. Although the final result of the game was not satisfactory, a positive attitude towards the game was the most important magic weapon for the team to win. Apparently the Bucks have got it. Although they don't run in enough, they really have a promising future.

――――――

The Rockets have lost the next two back-to-back games since being defeated by the Lakers at home using "slash tactics" — 108-114 to the Denver Diggers and 97-107 to the Sacramento Kings. As a result, the Rockets' record changed to 11-15, falling from ninth to tenth in the West.

After another terrible three-game losing streak, the Rockets' form is getting worse and worse.

And after back-to-back away games, they have to continue their away journey. Although this is the final leg of their short road trip, Kevin McHale is still worried about the state of his boys.

It just so happened that the opponent on the last away trip was the Lakers, and McHale, who planned to find some excitement for his disciples and make them feel better, and by the way, he also wanted to take revenge, so before the game started, he shouted in the air-

"I can't accept a four-game losing streak for the team."

"Especially when our opponent is an Angeleno."

"I don't mean to provoke a fight between the Houstonians and the L.A. people, but what some people do really makes me feel really disgusting, like a cockroach crawling into your mouth and down your esophagus. The most disgusting thing is that it was not digested, but instead pulled out of your *** and came out alive......"

It's hard to imagine that McHale, who has a handsome temperament, would say such a thing. The reporter interviewed didn't know if the "certain people" McHale was really that disgusting, but he was really disgusted when he interviewed McHale.

The Lakers were quick to respond.

Byron Scott replied directly: "Huh. ”

Randall became a loyal fan of Scott at this time, "It is self-evident who is the really disgusting one!" ”

A good person interviewed Kobe, and Kobe said casually, "The use of certain tactics can't be said to be disgusting anyway, right?" ”

Kobe Bryant's such an understatement made Howard completely angry. As the biggest victim of the "slashing tactic", he has the deepest understanding of the disgusting aspects of this tactic. And as Kobe's old enemy, he did not hesitate to refute Kobe's remarks.

"Who says tactics can't be disgusting? Don't listen to that old dog's nonsense! 'Slashing tactics' are the most disgusting tactics in the world! The disgusting thing about this tactic is that fans prefer to watch me dunk rather than watch me stand at the free throw line and make free throws. ”

"A lot of people think I don't know how to make free throws, but I just like to think about life when I'm making free throws. That damn ball is disobedient and ruthless like a bitch, and that's when I wonder why it always refuses to get into the basket? ”

"Well, I'm just explaining why I'm often 'cut'. For the reasons I'm saying, my free throws don't look all that reliable. So some of the bad guys who were afraid of me and scared of me played some tricks to send me to the free throw line, because that was the only weakness that I shared with the big sharks. But it's not really a weakness, you hear me, huh? Hey-don't go-"

Harden, who was then lingering in the nightclub, was caught by reporters.

"What?! You say I'm not in a good state?! You say the team has a bad record?! ”

"Well, as it turns out, you're right. Your eyes are like torches! ”

"Oh – but don't worry, we look terrible this season, but time will tell. You know, we were second in the West last season! We had a 1 in 4 chance of winning the championship! ”

"And it's not that I'm boasting, I also played at the MVP level last season, you should believe in my quality...... Well, it's just that I'm lost in the path of life now-hey, beauty, about -"

The reporter watched helplessly as Harden walked away with the big-fart girl in his arms, and the interview had to be suspended.

On December 17, the Lakers, who continued to sit at home, ushered in the revenge of the Houston Rockets.

Rockets starting lineup: Beverley, Harden, Ariza, Capela, Howard

McHale actually dared to put Capela and Howard in the starting lineup, maybe he thought that Scott should not use "slashing tactics" at the beginning of the game, right?

Lakers starting lineup: Clarkson, Yi Feng, Kobe, Randle, Hibbert

Randle was very happy because he was back in the starting line-up. Capela, a rough man who doesn't know much technology, is his favorite opponent.

The Rockets are coming with a lot of momentum, which can be seen from the ferocity of Howard's jump ball after the opening.

With this momentum, the Rockets immediately reversed the game and quickly took the lead 9:2.

However, it is not the two cores of Harden and Howard who lead the team to oppose the guest, but the "Black Bey" Beverley, who has a full presence on the defensive end. He received the ball and hit two three-pointers in a row! It also showed his majesty on the offensive end!

Clarkson was naturally disgraced, and both of Beverley's three-pointers were thrown away from him. In an attempt to get back on the court, he broke through Beverley's mad dog-like biting defense and scored on a layup.

But at this time, the Rockets suddenly blossomed more, Ariza hit a mid-range shot first, and then hit a three-pointer, scoring 5 points in a row, and Harden, who had 3 assists in hand, also suddenly hit a cold arrow and hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

With 6:40 left in the first quarter, the Rockets led the home team Lakers by as many as 13 points at 19:6 on the road!

Scott's face turned black at this moment, and he called a timeout angrily, and trained Kobe and Yi Feng.

There were even a lot of boos in the Staples Center arena, some of which were for Scott. That's why he's so angry.

However, he was already full of confidence for this match, before it even started. Because of the existence of "slashing tactics", because of the existence of Howard and Capela, the Rockets have lost half of them before they have even played.

Although the team is now more than ten points behind, Scott believes that it is not yet time to use a killer move. It's only the first quarter, so let's let the Rockets be arrogant for a while.

Almost halfway through the first quarter, Kobe and Yi Feng still didn't score a point, which is why Scott reprimanded them.

Kobe Bryant may have spent more energy in the previous game, and he wants to keep his hand a little bit in this game.

And the reason why Yi Feng didn't score made him very unspeakable.

The last time he played the Bucks at home, Yi Feng didn't let Tang Ya come to watch the game, because he wanted Tang Ya to rest at home. In fact, Yi Feng still didn't want Tang Ya to come tonight, after all, her body had really become a lot weaker, and it was difficult to fully recover without a long period of recuperation.

But he couldn't resist Tang Ya's gentle offensive, so he knew that he agreed.

Who knew that Dakota Fanning appeared again!

In that familiar position, with a familiar smile from Yi Feng!

She obviously didn't show up in the Lakers' game against the Bucks! Why is it such a coincidence that it is here again today!

This is big bad news for Yi Feng. However, fortunately, the sisters of the two daughters did not appear, perhaps this is the reason why Yi Feng can play with confidence.

But the appearance of the two women here at the same time also made Yi Feng unable to concentrate on playing.

From time to time, he would be distracted to see if the two girls were fighting. Tang Ya's injury is something he absolutely does not want to see; And Dakota Fanning was pressed to the ground and slapped by Tang Ya, who had studied martial arts, which was not what he wanted to see.

Dakota Fanning's perseverance moved him a little. And after he dealt with the fire that burned in the backyard, the heart of opening the harem actually began to stir again! I didn't expect him to be such a scumbag!

Although Dakota Fanning's presence here makes it tricky for him. But it cannot be denied that his heart is still very happy.

Even when Coach Scott was reprimanding Yi Feng, Yi Feng was still thinking about these things. That is, he did not listen at all.

So the pause ended, and Yi Feng was still the same, and he didn't make a move at all.

Kobe Bryant couldn't stand the team's backward state, so he stepped up and took over the game. First shoot a three-pointer to try your touch, three-pointer!

After Kobe Bryant found that he felt good, he decisively began to look for Harden's stubble.

Harden was as weak as ever on the defensive end, which gave Bryant a lot of opportunities. The back and forth is the mid-range shot after the break, and does not give Capela and Howard any chance to help defend inside.

Kobe Bryant hit three shots in a row to score nine points in a row, and the score became 23:15, and the Lakers' trailing margin narrowed to eight points.

But then Ariza began to team up with Harden to wrap Kobe, and Kobe Bryant was no longer at his peak after all, and was limited by the two teaming up. But at this time, Yi Feng was still out of the way, and he didn't grasp the ball from Kobi, and the score difference was opened up by the Rockets.

The first quarter ended with the score at 32:21, with the Lakers trailing by 11 points at the end of the first quarter.

After the end of the first quarter, Kobe Bryant was angry with Yi Feng for the first time. Together he was very satisfied with Yi Feng, no matter what it was. But tonight, Kobe Bryant was very angry when he saw Yi Feng, who didn't make a single shot in the first quarter and was sleepwalking on the court.

"I know you've had a lot of ups and downs lately, but that shouldn't be a reason why you don't dare to make a move on the pitch!! Don't let me describe you as a 'coward'!! ”

Kobe Bryant has always been a fighter, fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, and fighting with people. Even if he is getting older now, as long as he is on the field, he will always maintain the most serious attitude.

After the start of the second quarter of the game, Kobe, who asked to play for the first time, took advantage of Ariza's failure to wrap up in time, and once again singled Harden, hitting two mid-range shots and one three-pointer, scoring 7 points alone! Louis Williams also contributed five points as they led a 12-5 comeback wave.

At this point, the score became 37:33, and the Lakers were only 4 points behind.

The Rockets, for their part, also began to defend their lead, with Terrence Jones hitting a 3-pointer and Howard dunking, and the two teamed up to stabilize the situation for the Rockets.

After that, Randle suddenly made a shot from the outside, and the Rockets didn't guard against it, allowing Randle to hit a three-pointer to help the team close the gap.

But the Lakers' defense, or Yi Feng's defense, was helpless against Harden. Harden scored seven straight points to give the Rockets a 10-point lead at 58:48 at halftime.

The Rockets' Harden had a stellar first half with 17 points, five assists and four rebounds, while Ariza had eight points and four rebounds.

On the Lakers' side, Randle, who started the game in the first half, performed positively, scoring 11 points and 4 rebounds. Kobe Bryant went from strength to strength, finishing with 18 points, three assists and six rebounds. It's a pity that only these two people scored double-doubles in the half of the Lakers team, and Yi Feng, who was pinned on by the fans, staged "Lost God" again in the first half, and in the entire first half, he didn't make a single shot, scored 3 assists and 5 rebounds, and also received 2 fouls.

Stoples Center home team locker room at halftime.

When Kobe Bryant and Scott were doing a "men's doubles" (joint reprimand) against Yi Feng, Tang Ya teamed up with Dakota Fanning.

Compared to a football league, the NBA's locker room is more transparent, allowing not only journalists to interview, but also cameras. So it's not hard to get into the NBA locker room at halftime. Especially stars like Dakota Fanning.

The two beauties appeared in the locker room, and they were all unclear with Yi Feng, which naturally attracted the envy of the Lakers players.

Yi Feng didn't know why Tang Ya and Dakota Fanning were able to get along so harmoniously, just like the Lakers didn't know what the two girls were talking about when they pulled Yi Feng out.

However, in the second half of the game, Yi Feng's performance was completely similar to the first half. a wide open and close breakaway, or cause a foul, or a layup; The accurate three-point shooting hit Ariza so much that he could only sigh.

This is undoubtedly great news for the Lakers. And the icing on the cake is that in the third quarter, Bryant continued to be aggressive. First, he scored 6 points alone to lead the team to a 9-1 counterattack, and the Lakers chased it to 59:57, with only two points left.

McHale was worried about Scott's repetition and didn't let Terrence Jones and Donatas Motaiyunas partner on the inside and started the second half.

As a result, Jones lived up to McHale's expectations and suddenly exploded, scoring eight points alone, and Beverley also hit a three-pointer, and the Rockets stretched the advantage back to double digits.

At this time, Yi Feng finally woke up. First, he hit an open three-pointer, and then scored two breakaway layups to score seven points in a row to help the team close the point difference.

The Rockets' Corey Brewer responded with a three-pointer and Harden picked up a frontcourt rebound to give the Rockets a 10-point lead at 78-68 with 1:35 left in the third quarter.

Who knew that the last minute or so of the third quarter had become Yi Feng's performance moment. He first stole Harden's pass, went straight to the frontcourt to glide and dunk, and then grabbed the backcourt rebound and chased the Rockets' ass to chase down a three-pointer.

Although Harden responded with two free throws, Yi Feng hit a three-pointer with a lot of luck before the end of the third quarter, after crossing the halfway line!

80:76, with Yi Feng scoring 8 points in the last minute or so, the Lakers' point difference became 4 points.

In the third quarter alone, Yi Feng scored 15 points alone!

McHale realized that if he didn't play Howard on his side, then the defensive intensity would drop a lot. In desperation, he sent Howard and Capela on the court.

Of course, he knew that Scott would definitely give each of his disciples a "machete", but at the moment McHale didn't have much of a way to do it except pray for Howard and Capela to suddenly open his mind.

Such a helpless mentality also hints at the final defeat of the Rockets.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers blatantly raised the "butcher knife" in their hands, and Howard and Capela were "chopped" to the ground one after another.

The Rockets' offensive rhythm was seriously disrupted, while the Lakers relied on the "undercover" performance of Howard and Capela at the free throw line to successfully overtake and open up the gap all the way.

In the end, the Lakers "chopped" Howard and Capela out of the psychological shadow at the cost of several marginal figures on the team's backs full of fouls; And with a final score of 98:107, the reversal won. (To be continued.) )
