The happy hour was short-lived, and the Lakers spent just two days in Los Angeles.

After playing the Jazz, their record came to 18-3, ranking first in the league.

The Lakers are showing more and more of their strength in the game, and there is a faint fear of being dominated by the yellow-robed kings across the league.

However, the Lakers' achievement of such results is also related to the ease of the schedule.

The consecutive home games at the beginning gave the Lakers a good chance to run in.

Let Mike Brown clearly understand who is the thigh of this team in multiple victories.

The next few away games are in the west, and even if Gasol's injury has some impact, the core framework is still there.

By the way, he took advantage of this injury to solve the problem of Li Liang being targeted.

Li Liang is also competitive enough and plays well in the No. 4 position.

Although the score was a little worse than playing the bench No. 3, it showed his rebounding style.

The good news is that Nash is gradually recovering and finding his role.

These benefits came together to contribute to the Lakers' excellent play in the first 20 games.

And with the onset of winter, the warm and sweet schedule is over, and a wave of road trips to the east is coming.

In fact, ten years ago, for the Lakers, the Eastern Road Trip was tourism.

After Jordan retired, the pattern of being strong in the west and weak in the east was maintained for more than ten years.

50% of the winning rates of Western teams will not make the playoffs.

For an eighth place, the dog's brain is all out.

The 50% win rate of the eastern team went straight to the top half, and the lottery area was even more difficult to solve, competing for the top prize every year, breaking the losing streak.

In the past two years, with the Celtics triumvirate, James has gradually grown, and the situation has eased slightly compared to the beginning of the 21st century.

It is no longer a situation where the West Finals compete for the championship, and the East Finals determine the overall runner-up.

But the East is still very weak, this trip to the East, four games, the Cavaliers, Knicks, Wizards, 76ers.

Only the Knicks have been very strong lately and can be regarded as a strong rival.

The other teams are relatively weak.

However, there is no weak team in the NBA, and in the face of any opponent, as long as you take it lightly, you may overturn.

Especially away from home.

Even if it's a bad team, it's mostly when it's playing away.

The home game still has to be meaningful, pretend to struggle.

Don't let the home crowd down too much.

You see, I'm still moving, I'm not dead.

If you accidentally don't control the strength well, you can kill the strong team that comes to the away team with one punch.

On December 11, the Lakers came to Cleveland, and Ohio entered a cold winter.

Because of this fight against the Lakers, the Gunder Arena is full tonight.

After James made his way to the South Coast, the Cavaliers' ball market plummeted.

Now it's mainly up to the prestige of the away team to support the attendance.

The goal of the Cleveland Cavaliers this year is very clear, to compete for the top spot!

There was once a champion in my team, but I didn't cherish it, it took seven years, and I didn't get what he wanted.

There is no regret until it is lost, and there is nothing more painful in the world than this.

Now that I have another champion, if God gives me another chance, I would say, "One more bottle." ”

The knight held on to the belief that there would be another bottle, and began to rot.

Even if they have the champion Kyrie Irving, after all, Irving can't compare with James, and his ability to lead the team and his physical talent are much worse.

Prior to this game, the Cavaliers were 4-17 and almost lost their record with the Lakers.

No matter how you look at the Lakers, they are all holding on to this game and can easily win.

But this one the Lakers almost rolled over.

Mike Brown returns to his hometown and sees everything in Cleveland so familiar, those memories that were once fond.

Brown didn't make any targeted arrangements before the game, and it was a bit too much to play a bad team like the Cavaliers.

But the world is always unpredictable on the basketball court, especially the feel of the players.

In the previous game of Magic, the Magic outside players felt a collective outbreak, how to throw it.

The knights are also here tonight, and the burgundy home is even more red.

The Cavaliers players are like adding bloodthirsty buffs, how to shoot on the offensive end.

Especially Valejo on the inside, a block and a pick-and-roll went down, a small hand shook, and a layup was two points.

With this move of him and Kyrie Irving, he scored 20 points on the Lakers' interior.

20 points, and an extremely high shooting percentage, and caused Howard to have two fouls.

This Vallejo has always been good at making offensive fouls, how can he even make defensive fouls?

Needless to say, Owen's champion show is the champion show, and Lao Na will inevitably be blown up again.

There is also the point of scoring guard, CJ Myers, who usually only has about 10 points, exploded tonight, shooting 10 of 18, 5 of 10 three-pointers, and scored 28 points in front of Lao Ko.

It's a shame, the Lakers died in the backcourt, and the defense was eaten up again.

The Lakers can only desperately find it on the offensive end.

Bryant broke out again, scoring 42 points in a single game, while Nash scored 18 points, and the two combined for 60 points.

The game was scorching until the last minute, when the two sides were evenly divided, Kobe Bryant hit a hot shot.

But Li Liang "picked up" the key frontcourt rebound, and made a foul under the basket.

He made both free throws to make it 102-100 and take the lead in the final minute.

Strong teams and weak teams, sometimes winning or losing is a few points, and the difference between strength and weakness lies in the individual ability of the players and the execution of the team's tactics at the last moment.

The Cavaliers don't have any tactical execution, and they played so well tonight with all their breath.

That breath was drained by a frontcourt rebound.

In the end, Owen was strangled by Li Liang [Death Entanglement] on the outside.

Although he didn't concede the ball, he had lost his offensive rhythm, forced a jump shot, twisted his body and threw it slightly.

The Cavaliers lost at home.

In fact, there are no regrets, such a losing knight likes it the most.

You see, we gave it our all, played well, played until the last minute.

It's not that our army doesn't work hard, but the Lakers have Gundam and really can't beat it.

In this way, fans will not feel that the team is playing badly, and at the same time, the team loses to achieve strategic goals.

The two sides took what they needed, reached a friendly consensus of mutual benefit and win-win, and ended the game in an enthusiastic, stable and harmonious atmosphere.

The Lakers are in danger this time.

But the next one wasn't so easy.

A day apart, the Lakers flew to New York to play Game 2, the New York Knicks.

Before this season, rotten, what is there to be afraid of.

For Bryant in particular, Madison Square Square at Garden is a blessing for him.

This year's Knicks are a little different, they have been strengthening in the summer and have a strong start to the season.

With 16 wins and 5 losses, it is already in first place in the East, surpassing the Heat.

After Stoudemire went on a slump due to injury, the Knicks added two experienced and defensive veterans on the inside, Tyson Chandler and Rasheed Wallace.

On the point guard, it is to bring in Jason Kidd, an old demon, who is 39 this year, and like Nash, in the final stage of his career.

The Lakers had struggled between Kidd and Nash, and in the end they chose Nash.

Bryant wanted to join forces with Kidd, but he never succeeded.

The confrontation between these two old men on the outside is very interesting, the so-called base does not attack and does not defend, it will be passing.

Nash does take a step on the defensive end, and on the offensive end he can rely on master shooting to contribute.

Kidd, on the other hand, is basically crippled in offense, his playmaking ability is becoming more and more perfect, and his defense still has room for size and experience.

His time with the Knicks is an excellent way to compensate for Carmelo Anthony's playmaking shortcomings, allowing him to focus on what he does best, offense.

The Knicks also outplayed Anthony in the backcourt with Ronnie Brewer and Raymond Field, one to defend and one to carry the ball.

Add to that a Tyson Chandler on the inside, and it's fair to say that all four serve Anthony.

It was Nowitzki who made Anthony 11 years old, and he lived up to expectations and played very well at the start of the season.

He played in 17 of the first 19 games, averaged 30.9 points per game, shot 48% from the field and 45% from three-point range, and led the team to a 15-5 record, which is completely MVP-level.

That's why it is said that Roni has finally seen a little light since the 21st century.

They have been in a slump since 1999, the last season of the millennium, when they miraculously reached the finals as eighth and created the Black Eight Miracle.

After all, this kind of performance against the sky is too consuming of luck.

Even New York, the number one international city, can't be contained, and it has been rotten for more than ten years, and it is rotten with no end in sight.

Now that it can be revived, the Huni War has naturally attracted the attention of many multimedia.

At present, on the regular season MVP voting list, Kobe, Anthony, and James are competing for each other, and anyone can reach the top.

So this is the battle of the spotlight.

Li Liang was particularly busy in the Big Apple tonight.

While he was busy pinching Anthony with Ci Shiping, he was busy taking out the ball blind dissolver to measure the IQ of the Knicks bigwigs.

Let's take a look at Jason Kidd first:

[The ball blindness index is 7.9%, which conforms to the first law of ball blindness sports, and will not change its sports state in the absence of external forces, unless someone "hit-me". 7.9% is the first goal blind escape index for him, if it can be lower than that, congratulations, the seat of the good coach will be in front of you. 】

Hit halftime, and look at Anthony again, he shot so accurately:

[Ball blindness index 58%, 58 maker, the big killer in ball blindness, although it is a ball blindness, but people can play. When you think he's going to shoot, he's going to shoot you, and when you think he's going to shoot you, he's going to shoot again. This is the duality of the ball blindness. 】

Li Liang looked at it, it was quite accurate, this Anthony tried to step after the three threats - although the passing threat is not big, but the two tricks of breaking through and shooting are really unguardable.

He's not quite the same as Durant, Durant is ignoring you, and Anthony is using his skills and body to make you useless.

The two teams played hard, and at the critical moment, the Knicks' bench players stepped up.

A JR Smith and a Rasheed Wallace, two of them hit back-to-back three-pointers from the outside to help the Knicks establish an advantage.

And what about the Lakers' bench? What a pit.

Meeks, who had been shooting three-pointers well in the first few games, hit one three-pointer tonight.

And it's 1 in 7 shots!

Li Liang hit two three-pointers in the last minute to chase the difference to only 2 points.

Next, the Lakers defended the Knicks' offense and had a good chance to tie the lead.

But Kobe, you can strike iron at a critical moment!

Li Liang was so angry that he launched [Tim Duncan's Touching the Head] to frantically touch Kobe's head.

After that, the Lakers could only foul the tactics and send Anthony to the free throw line, which didn't give away points.

In the end, the Lakers lost by 4 points, and Li Liang scored 12 points, 10 rebounds, and another double-double.

But he doesn't care about that statistic.

Madison Garden Square cheered as they won the battle of the spotlight.

The players on both sides hugged each other, and Li Liang was so angry that he tested Rasheed Wallace again:

[Ball blindness index: p, p is greater than 0, then the probability of at least one technical foul in n matches is P=1-(1-p)^n.] As n gets bigger and bigger, P gets closer and closer to 1. Explanation: 1. Any technical foul is not as simple as it seems. 2. All technical fouls come sooner than you expect. 3. The technical fouls that should come always come. 4. If you are worried about a technical foul, the referee is more likely to blow you for a technical foul. This is Murphy's Law for ball blindness. 】

Hey, interesting, I felt a little bit better after losing.

Look at J.R. Smith again:

[Ball blind index 167% (out of the table??) At the edge of the third escape velocity of ball blindness, as long as a little acceleration exceeds this edge, he will break away from the gravitational pull of the basketball world and fly to the unpredictable mysterious realm of freedom and freedom (basketball behavior in this field will be unpredictable)]

Haha, Li Conscience felt a little better again.

But sitting in the locker room, everyone doesn't speak, and it's still unpleasant to lose.

Li Liang sighed, silently stretched out his hand, launched [Tim Duncan's Head Touch], and gave himself a look, calm and calm.

Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and you will fight well in the end!
