The normal 82 regular-season games have been compressed to 66, which is a difficult test for all teams in the league.

In order to catch up with the schedule, there are multiple games in a week, which makes many teams very tired.

The 76ers are good, after all, there are many young people, look at the Spurs, the Spurs only have 3 wins and 3 losses in the first six games, and can only barely maintain a 50% win rate.

And the defending champion Mavericks were even more unlucky, in the summer, the Mavericks' championship lineup was scattered, and the departure of Kidd and Chandler suddenly made the Mavericks' lineup very problematic.

It's not that they can't do it, but without a point guard and a center, the Mavericks have too many things missing all of a sudden, although they have Carter, but Carter is also old, is the Mavericks ready to rely on Nowitzki and Carter to continue to win the championship?

The Mavericks also played 6 games, but the Mavericks only had a pitiful 2-4 loss, which is a really bad result, especially since the Mavericks are still the defending champions, this bad start makes people feel that they are ready to give up today?

If you win the championship, you have no motivation?

In fact, the Mavericks are bitter and unspeakable, a bunch of people in the team are old, plus there is no desire after there is already a championship in hand, and then the schedule is so dense, it can be said that the Mavericks can play like this, they are already doing their best.

It's just that there is no one in the right place at the right time, so how are you going to win?

The defending champion last season, this season is estimated to even be in the playoffs!

The Lakers, who had high hopes before the start of the Western Conference, did not perform very strongly, and after 5 games, the Lakers only had 3 wins and 2 losses, and the advantage was not obvious.

Especially in the game, Kobe Bryant and Howard are not enough calls, and the two of them have no problem playing alone, but it is really not good to cooperate with each other.

Howard wanted to play his own singles, and he felt that now he could single-handedly take on all the centers in the league except for Yao Ming.

But in the Lakers, there are not so many single opportunities for him, and he likes to play a star in Magic Howard, but the Lakers don't have this tactic!

The Lakers' lineup actually can't play like the Magic, so even if Howard asks for a position on the inside, it's useless to put the ball in!

And Kobe Bryant originally needed to shoot, he could not control the ball, it doesn't matter, as long as he is given enough opportunities to shoot when he makes the final shot.

This Howard has just come to his first season, and he wants to grab Kobe's right to shoot?

How is this possible!

Fortunately, the Lakers have a good overall strength, so they won three games.

But the contradictions between Kobe Bryant and Howard are already on the rise, and if they are not addressed, they are bound to go wrong.

The Big Three Heat is very good, with five consecutive wins at the beginning, of course, it has something to do with the schedule, the first 5 opponents of the Big Three Heat are not strong, it seems that they also want to win as many games as possible now, so even if they have to adjust the lineup due to fatigue and other reasons in the later stage, they are not afraid.

Win more games now, and you won't be afraid to lose a few games in the future.

Like the 76ers, they are also tired, they have only played five games a week, and they have to prepare to go to the West for an away parade.

And the first game of the Western road trip is the Los Angeles Lakers!

This is also really fateful, the opening door first played the Los Angeles Clippers, and a week later he personally came to the door to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia looks like it is going to be on the bar with Los Angeles this year!

In fact, the Lakers' lineup this year is not as good as last year's overall appearance.

In exchange for Howard, they lost Bynum and Atay, and Odom also left the Lakers to go to the Mavericks, but he is still recovering from injuries, so to speak, the Lakers suddenly lost their original strong interior line.

Although Howard's arrival is indeed good, the gap between one person and three people is still a bit big.

Therefore, the Lakers hurriedly signed Murphy for emergency use.

On the outside, Shannon Brown left, and although Kobe Bryant was still the first quarterback, it was really uncomfortable for the team to have a point guard combination.

Last season, the Lakers' point guard duo of veteran Fisher and Steve Blake combined for just 106 points and 49 assists per game.

This offseason, Fisher, who spent a long time with the Lakers, also left! This directly makes the Lakers' point guard even weaker! Because they only have Blake as a point guard!

It's really unqualified, and although in the Lakers' triangular system, the point guard is not important, but you can't be so bad, right?

So, the Lakers were looking for a point guard all summer, and that's why there was a trade rumor that they had with the Hornets.

If they did get Paul, then they wouldn't have to worry about it now.

The Lakers' starting point guard so far this year is only Blake, and to be honest, the schedule is so dense, he can't be tired.

What's more, Kobe Bryant and Howard both want the ball this year, as a point guard, he can't favor anyone, Blake really feels so bitter.

But I heard that the Lakers are now preparing to grab a point guard who looks pretty good at the moment to fill the void?

Han Miao knew what they thought, and he also knew which person was the Laker's favorite candidate.

Former Cavaliers point guard, Sessions.

It's not that Sessions is good, but at least Sessions' attack power is okay and barely usable.

It's not just the point guard, the loss of Artay, the loss of Odom, the Lakers small forward is also in a hurry, now only Matt Barnes is a serious small forward, Barnes is not young anymore, even if he is an iron man, he has to be tired to death if he plays nearly 40 minutes per game.

"Coach, how do I think the Lakers' lineup is not much better than ours."

It's not a short flight from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, and on the plane, the 76ers will naturally have to discuss things with their coaches as usual.

"That's it, Dwight can't beat Yao, although Kobe Bryant is powerful, but the Lakers are on the outside, we have Han, Gordon, Andre, and they only have one Paul (Gasol) left, but we can play a lot of people."

"You're floating!"

Stevens wants his team to maintain their fighting spirit, but he doesn't want that fighting spirit to turn into arrogance.

"If Bryant and Dwight join forces, then we will definitely face a tough battle! Even if we have Yao, it won't work! ”

Stevens knows that there is one reason why everyone underestimates the enemy, that is, the Lakers' strongest recruit Howard this year can't beat his own recruit Yao Ming.

Of course, this is fine one-on-one, but the Lakers have Kobe Bryant and Gasol to help him, so Howard is really likely to fight against Yao Ming.

"Coach, that's going to have to be the two of them working together."

Iguodala has been concerned about the Lakers' recent situation, and Kobe Bryant and Howard are really not calling.

Of course, it may also be because of the fact that the season has not been skillfully coordinated at the beginning, after all, this shortened season, no one can play easily......
