The Lakers are indeed interested in strengthening the Lakers, from the management to the team's water cooler administrators, and are happy with the Lakers' results this season. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But after that, I want to be better, and if I can make the playoffs, I want to break through the first round.

The Lakers' current lineup, with its strengths and weaknesses, is quite obvious and is easy to target in the playoffs. Therefore, in order not to become a first-round tour role in the playoffs, the Lakers tried every means to strengthen their interior strength.

But it's a pity that the Lakers don't have any chips in their hands, and the price paid for rebuilding the luxury F4 before is too great, and now it is still a little slow. If it weren't for the outlier of Yi Feng, the current Lakers might not be much better than the Suns, the deputy leader of the West.

In the end, the Lakers can only be honest spectators, just like a homeless man who is almost hungry and can't eat the exquisite and delicious cakes in the cake shop. No matter how hungry he is, he can't rush in and grab it, because he has no money. This is the reality, so cruel and unforgiving.

However, there are no strange faces in the team, and the tacit understanding that has gradually been built and cultivated between the players will not disappear. The deal didn't happen, and there won't be a period of pain.

After All-Star Weekend, the season officially entered the second half of the season. At this time, the situation of the entire league is basically clear, those teams can be as stable as the playoffs, those teams will definitely not enter the playoffs, and those teams have the hope of hitting the playoffs, everyone basically has the bottom in their hearts.

Super teams such as the Warriors, Spurs, and Cavaliers will definitely not worry about playoff spots, all they have to do is to play steadily, maintain their rankings, and finally get the home court advantage in the playoffs.

And the vice presidents of the East and West Divisions like the 76ers and the Suns have no hope of hitting the playoffs, and there is no theoretical possibility. With the 76ers' current 8-46 record, even if they win the remaining 28 games of the season, they won't be able to make the playoffs with their 36-46 record.

At this time, the most nervous teams are the teams that are more than the upper and lower teams, they are all the teams in the ninth or tenth place in the division, and they can move up one place by winning two more games, and once they lose, they will be pulled away by the teams in front of them. So they're going to give it their all after the All-Star break.

In contrast, the teams in seventh and eighth place are not insured. There have been people in the back who are eyeing each other, and if you are not careful, you will be overtaken, which is a feeling of uneasy sleep. So they have to play with all their form, and it is one more game to win.

Even if it is only eighth in the end, even if it is against the super team that is the first team in the division in the playoffs, the effort is worth it.

Although the team will not pay salaries for the playoffs, only 16 teams will participate in the playoffs, and the attention of the remaining 14 teams will be divided between the teams that make the playoffs.

More people follow, which means more opportunities for players to become famous overnight. As long as you are super god on a real battlefield such as the playoffs, the benefits you get are far beyond imagination.

And the championship honor that players care about the most is also the exclusive property of the winner of the playoff war.

On February 19, the Los Angeles Lakers sat at home and faced the challenge of the San Antonio Spurs.

This is the last meeting between the two teams this season, with the Lakers winning just one of the previous three meetings. This victory saved the Lakers from the embarrassment of having their heads shaved, so they were not very determined to win tonight's game. In addition, this is the first game after the All-Star, and the Lakers players who have gone on vacation cannot show their best condition on the court, and the final loss is not difficult to understand.

And this is the Spurs' second game after the All-Star, although they only lost to the Clippers by 19 points on the road yesterday, but because the Clippers and the Lakers are at the same home, the Spurs' back-to-back is not as tiring as the general away back-to-back.

And such a special and away back-to-back just woke up the Spurs players after a short vacation.

Tony Parker was very active after the start of the game, first scoring two layups, then hitting a three-pointer, and scoring 7 points on his own! Duncan, the old guy, also came to join in the fun, scoring 4 points, and the Spurs scored 13:8, which was dominated by anti-visitors.

Then the old guy on the Lakers' side also stepped up, Kobe Bryant hit 3 jumpers in a row, scored 6 points alone, and did not let the Spurs, Parker, and Duncan be the two old men.

With 5:25 left in the first quarter, Yi Feng hit a bottom corner three-pointer to help the Lakers overtake the score. At this time, the score of the two sides is 18:20, and the Lakers lead by two points.

The Spurs showed their formidable roster depth at this point, with Boris Dio and David West combining for 10 points, and Rasso Butler also hitting a three-pointer as the Spurs ended the first quarter with a two-point lead at 33-31.

Patty Mills, Butler and Jonathan Simmons took turns hitting three-pointers after the start of the second quarter as the Spurs continued to hold the lead. Randle scored six points to help the Lakers close the gap to four, Kyle Anderson responded with six points, and Parker also hit a jumper to give the Spurs an 11-point lead at 60-49 just over a minute before halftime.

Yi Feng suddenly turned on the offensive mode at this time, first broke through the inside line and caused a foul on the Spurs, and after hitting both free throws, he hit two three-pointers one after another on the outside! If it weren't for the three-pointer that bounced out of the frame at the last midfield, he would have wiped out the difference by himself!

At halftime, the Spurs led by three points at 60-57.

The two sides continued to tug-of-war after the start of the third quarter, with Bryant hitting a three-pointer suspected of a foul to help the Lakers equalize the score.

Duncan and Parker stepped up again at critical moments, and they worked together to shoot back by 4 points to stabilize the situation for the Spurs.

But the Lakers played with a tenacious momentum at this point, and their rotation lineup performed well, with Nick Young hitting all three free throws and Louis Williams continuing to play his sixth man of the best nature.

Shortly after the start of the final quarter, Nick Young hit another three-pointer, and with this three-pointer, the Lakers chased the deficit to just four points.

** Vicky immediately called a timeout, Aldridge stepped up and scored a layup, Simmons also scored two goals in a row, but the Lakers were not inferior, Yi Feng scored four points on two coquettish breakthrough layups, and Nance Jr. and Buss also scored under the basket.

With 5:40 left in the fourth quarter, the Spurs led the Lakers by five points.

At this time, the two teams fell into a long tug-of-war.

After Parker broke through Clarkson, he hit a jumper, and the Lakers also scored by Randle on the basket;

Parker broke through again, Gyro turned and hit a layup, and then Yi Feng immediately responded with a turnaround jumper;

Aldridge scored a dunk under the basket, and Bryant also used his experience to cause a foul and hit both free throws.

At this time, the difference between the two teams was still 5 points, but then the Spurs gave the Lakers a chance with a 24-second offensive violation. It's a pity that Kobe missed three points in the end, and when the rebound popped up, he rushed over to save the ball and accidentally poked his finger, but fortunately he was fine and soon returned to the court.

The boss's persistent spirit touched a vote of Lakers' young players. They're more aggressive on the pitch, but sometimes it's not a good thing to be aggressive.

Randle frequently picked up the ball at Aldridge, but Aldridge caused a shooting foul, and then hit two free throws steadily. In the next round, Yi Feng was also fouled by Duncan when he hit the basket.

That gave the Spurs a chance to pull away, and the Spurs didn't miss that opportunity as Danny Green hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner!

1 minute and 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter! The Spurs are 10 points ahead of the Lakers!

The Lakers realized that something was wrong, and Byron Scott asked for a timeout.

But after the pause, Kobe missed three points, and Yi Feng rushed to grab the rebound in the front court, but was once again judged a foul by the referee. This was the Lakers' foul accumulation in the fourth quarter to the point where they could make free throws, and the Spurs scored the two points that were sent to the goal.

Seeing that there was no hope of turning the tables, the Lakers directly replaced the main team.

In the end, Spurs won on the road. Parker had 25 points and six assists, Aldridge had 20 points and eight rebounds, Mills had 15 points and seven assists, Anderson had 14 points and Duncan had 12 points and 13 rebounds.

On the Lakers' side, Yi Feng handed over 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a decent manner, Kobe Bryant scored 25 points and 4 rebounds, Williams scored 21 points, Randle scored 11 points and 15 rebounds, and Buss and Nick Young each scored 10 points.

On February 21, the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Chicago Bulls on the road.

Itovine Moore and Derrick Rose each scored 24 points and Pau Gasol had 21 points and seven rebounds as they led the Bulls to a firm fourth quarter victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Jimmy Butler continues to be sidelined with injury, but without the defensive stalwart's interference, Yi Feng has not been able to play well. Just 9-of-23 shooting, he got lost in the Chicago squall tonight. Kobe Bryant wasn't much better, shooting just 8-of-20.

After this game, the Bulls have won two in a row, while the Lakers have suffered three consecutive defeats including the loss to the Cavaliers before the All-Star break.

On February 22, the Los Angeles Lakers moved to Milwaukee to play the Bucks on back-to-back away games.

Before the game, the Lakers shouted the slogan of rejecting the four-game losing streak, and the three armies were killed, and finally retreated on the road.

Although Antetokounmpo had a luxury triple-double of 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, and Chris Middleton also scored 18 points, other than that, the rest of the Bucks players did not perform too brightly.

In contrast, 7 people on the Lakers' side scored double-doubles, and Yi Feng made 11 of 18 shots, scoring 32 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists with a quasi-triple-double data.

On February 24, the Los Angeles Lakers moved westward to challenge the Memphis Grizzlies on the road.

The Grizzlies at home got into the groove quickly, with Matt Barnes scoring a layup and then hitting two three-pointers to score eight points.

After PJ Hairston hit another three-pointer, the Grizzlies hit an 18-4 small ** to give the visiting Lakers a downshot.

After the Lakers regrouped, Yi Feng boosted morale with a breakthrough dunk, Clarkson responded with a three-point shot, and Kobe Bryant hit two turnover jumpers in a row, and the Lakers responded with a 9-0 small **!

Nick Young, who came on at the end of the first quarter, had an eye-catching performance, and with his eight points, the Lakers led by one point at 37:36 at the end of the first quarter.

Barnes kept his touch after the start of the second quarter and he hit two more three-pointers!

With the help of his accurate shooting, the Grizzlies earned the lead again.

Yi Feng did not show weakness, although he did not participate in the three-point competition, but the league sent him several invitations!

He immediately hit back with two three-pointers!

For a while, the form on the court became a three-point match between Yi Feng and Barnes.

This ignited the whole atmosphere!

On the Grizzlies' side, Jamacao Green and Hairston also hit three-pointers each!

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant and Clarkson also hit three points one after another!

In just a few minutes, both teams made eight three-pointers each!

On the field of this game, it was three points like rain for a while!

Both teams felt hot in the first half, but I didn't expect to continue this feeling in the second half.

In the second half, Mike Conley and Hairston each scored a three-pointer to lead the team to a 9-3 under-**.

Clarkson's hands were hot, he hit 2 three-pointers in a row, and he scored 11 points alone!

With 5:50 left in the third quarter, the scores were 81-83 and the Lakers trailed by two points.

Hairston and Conley each responded with three-pointers, and the Grizzlies were able to pull back the score. After the Lakers took a timeout, Yi Feng made two successful singles to recover five points, and Nance Jr. made a dunk under the basket, and the Lakers trailed by one point at 96:97 at the end of the third quarter.

As soon as the final quarter began, the Lakers went on a massive counterattack.

Yi Venture shot two three-pointers, and Clarkson also scored five points in a row, and the Lakers suddenly took a five-point lead.

However, soon the Grizzlies' Brandon Wright responded with 4 points inside, and Barnes and Carter also relied on their veteran experience to make four consecutive fouls and make four free throws, and they led the team to an 8-0 small ** and took the lead back.

With 4:55 left in the fourth quarter, the heat was down by 3 points.

At this time, the Lakers still had hope of winning, and Yi Feng and Kobe Bryant each scored a three-pointer, and they turned the team's three-point deficit into a three-point advantage.

The Grizzlies called a timeout, and after some set-up, Zach Randolph and Conley returned to the court, one on the inside and the other on the outside, and they combined for six points!

Carter also hit a three-pointer against Yi Feng's defense, and with two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies extended their lead to five points.

At this time, the score of the two sides was that the Lakers were temporarily behind by 5 points.

Both teams have super high scores, which shows the hot hand of the players of both teams in this game. If it weren't for their three-point rain that lasted all the time, the score wouldn't be so high now. (To be continued.) )
