After this back-to-back game, the Lakers can finally get a day of rest, and then they will go to Salt Lake City on the sixth to challenge the Jazz, this month's schedule is actually very unfriendly for the Lakers, they actually have a total of 17 games in December, fortunately, their opponents are not too strong, basically the same team in the lottery last season, but there are also games with the Cavaliers and Clippers in between.

On this rest day, Ye Xuan was going to applaud love with Shen Wei, but he didn't expect that after just a few rounds, Ye Xuan's back waist felt a sense of pain, which also made Ye Xuan startled, after all, as an athlete, what he was most afraid of was an injury, so he changed his posture and let Shen Wei move by himself, and Ye Xuan instantly entered the system, and after asking, he found that his kung fu in these ten games was due to the repeated use of difficult actions such as Rose's non-deceleration and change direction. Therefore, the damage to the body is more serious, and the current stinging pain in the waist is caused by the muscle strain in the waist, which is also caused by the number of dry pull-out shots.

Therefore, Ye Xuan also had to spend some survival time to repair his body, but fortunately, Ye Xuan still had a lot of 'savings' before, so he didn't have to be reimbursed for the season directly like the last major injury. After consuming 700 days of survival time to repair all his physical injuries, Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh, he was still a little careless in dealing with injuries, if he always came out like this, then how much survival time was not enough for his own waste, it seems that he still needs to find a way to solve this problem.

Fast forward to December 6th, and the Lakers set off for Salt Lake City, where they will take on the Utah Jazz. The last time they met, the Lakers easily defeated their opponents, which made everyone a little down-to-earth about the Jazz, but then the Jazz's performance surprised everyone, first of all, he entered the playoffs in the very competitive West, and is now temporarily ranked eighth in the West, and even has a better record than the Trail Blazers in the rankings.

You must know that the Trail Blazers have two guns in the backcourt, and they have caused a lot of trouble to the Warriors and other teams in the playoffs, but I didn't expect that this season because there was no operation in the summer, so the team had a surprisingly poor record in the month after the start of the season, so now they are still working hard for their playoff spots.

The Jazz have shown a relatively good quality this season, but there is an obvious problem that when the team feels good, they will play relatively well, but when the hand is a little uncomfortable, they will become very passive, unlike other teams, who can change the situation on the court by adjusting their tactics when they are not feeling good.

Soon the game began, Gobert pressed Gasol and gave the racket to Evans, Evans wanted to break through directly with the ball, but Ye Xuan's defensive skills were not covered, and he immediately pounced and blocked Evans' way, Evans was not greedy, and immediately passed the ball to Heywood, who received the ball and pulled it up directly outside the three-point line to make a three-point shot, the ball.

I have to say that Haywood still uses his personal ability to gradually show his strength when the distribution of the ball is not particularly suitable, and his status in the team is getting higher and higher, and the ball is naturally rising, which is actually a disguised progress for the Jazz.

Looking back, the Lakers immediately wanted to change one on the outside, Gasol mentioned that after a block and dismantling with Ye Xuan in the high position, he immediately cut inside, and Ye Xuan did not stop, still ran like an inside line, Gobert on the inside line was attracted by Ye Xuan's ball-holding offense, but Ye Xuan suddenly threw a high throw and sent the ball directly to the basket, and Gasol on the inside line also rushed to the basket and easily pressed the ball into the basket with one hand.

In the next few rounds, the Lakers did not let the Jazz find that particularly good open shooting opportunity, and Haywood could not play his due strength under the close defense of Solomon Hill, the difference in strength between the two teams was instantly reflected, although the offensive efficiency of the Lakers side has also decreased under the Jazz defense, but the Lakers can always have a strong scoring point to stand up to help the team break the predicament, whether it is Ye Xuan or Wade, In short, the Lakers are able to score points when the other player is not feeling good, or when the opponent's defense is focused on one of them.

Although Wade is almost 34 years old, his scoring ability is still so sharp, in fact, if Wade did not choose to cut his meniscus at the beginning, then his combat effectiveness is estimated to be more terrifying, and even if he cut off the meniscus, he is now three championships in hand, and a finals MVP, and this season his team still has a chance to impact the championship, this kind of personal honor, in the current league, There should be no second person besides LeBron James, after all, the last two people who also had this kind of achievement, one is Duncan and the other is Kobe, and both of them chose to retire last season. The Spurs' Parker also has three championships and a Finals MVP, but after all, he has never played in the Finals as the absolute core of the team, so when it comes to top superstars, Parker is not too high.

The results speak for themselves, the Lakers had established a 10-point advantage shortly after the start of the second quarter, and this advantage continued to be extended in the third quarter, and by the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had unwittingly led by 20 points, so the fourth quarter of the game became garbage time.

At the end of the game, the Lakers easily defeated their opponents and quietly improved their winning streak to 8 games. At this time, the Lakers have quietly distanced themselves from the other 29 teams in the league, with a 20-3 record and a record of 20 wins and 3 losses, and they have become the first echelon of the league alone. The second tier is the Cavaliers, Warriors and Pelicans.

And this season the West is also in chaos, there are 11 teams fighting for the playoffs, only the Suns, Timberwolves, Kings and Mavericks four teams have no enterprising spirit, and have begun to rebuild, of course, in fact, the Mavericks don't really want to start rebuilding, the key is that Barnes, who signed a lot of money this summer, was not strong, and the follow-up signing failed, and the result was naturally forced to enter the rhythm of rebuilding.

And the East is a little worse, starting from the 76ers, the 10,000-year-old rebuilding team, to the sad Nets, and then the Magic team, the Knicks and the Hornets have begun to rebuild, among which the Hornets are the most tragic, they made the playoffs for the first time last season, but they were pressed to the ground by the Cavaliers and rubbed again, and then in order to be able to keep Batum, he was only able to let go of the base salary and work for a year, helping the Hornets reach the playoffs. At the same time, he also let go of Al Jefferson, who was also the team's playoff hero, and as a result, the team's record has plummeted since the start of the season, and although it is not as bad as the 76ers and the Nets, it is only in 11th place in the East.

Just after the Lakers finished the game with the Jazz, there was another transaction in the league, and the initiator of the transaction was none other than Ye Xuan's old club, the Pacers. The owner of the Pacers couldn't stand the team's infighting and the team's manager's selfish desires, so he fired Pritchard with a strong move, and also traded J.R. Smith and Jeff Teague, who had been in the midst of infighting.

The teams involved in the trade are the Jazz, who have just finished playing against the Lakers, and the Brooklyn Nets, who are beginning to plan a rebuild. First, the Pacers sent Jeff Teague to the Jazz, then J. R. Smith to the Nets, and the Jazz added Tyrick Evans to the trade, sent Evans to the Nets, and then Rodney Hood to the Pacers. As for the Nets, they sent Randy Foye and Bojan Bogdanovic, Randy Foye was sent to the Jazz, and Bojan Bogdanovic was sent to the Pacers.

After this deal was reached, the initiator of the Pacers' internal contradictions was finally cleared, and the starting lineup with the newly traded Hood at the point guard position was much more comfortable, and at the same time, the selection of the starting point guard was solved, and Rose was corrected, which also made the former regular season MVP much happier with the Pacers.

Of course, this deal is not a loss for the other two teams, first of all, the Jazz will face a large-scale contract renewal problem next season, Hood's performance naturally does not need to be said, as long as the contract extension is definitely a big contract, and Evans has played well after coming to the Jazz, but many times he pays more attention to his own offense with the ball, rather than organizing the team's offense, which makes Hood's statistics decline, and at the same time he also restricts Haywood's development, after the trade came to Teague, At least Teague has a better sense of passing, which is not bad for the Jazz.

As for the Nets, they are simply helping, they are a rebuilding team with no hope of rebuilding, and Smith is also in order to be able to continue to change trades, brushing up on a beautiful statistic. As for Evans, he was traded to act as a point guard, although Evans has been a point guard since he entered the league, but his style of play is more biased towards a point guard, it just so happens that Jeremy Lin is a point guard who is biased towards a traditional guard, and he should be able to cooperate better with Evans, anyway, their first-round picks in recent years are not in their hands, so whether the team's record can be improved after the trade will have no impact on them anyway. Of course, in order to be able to pull the Nets into this trade, the Pacers also had to give the Nets one of their second-round picks this year.

In addition to the Pacers trade, the Dallas Mavericks and 76ers also made a trade, with the Mavericks sending Justin Anderson, Andrew Bogut and a first-round pick to the 76ers in a trade for Nolens Noll. In fact, Nolens Knoll has always been the object of the Cavaliers' pursuit, especially now that their main interior Tristan Thompson is getting worse and worse after hooking up with the eldest sister of the Kardashian family, Khloe Kardashian, so they are now in urgent need of a player who can help the team defend on the inside, and Noll is such an excellent choice, but in the end, I didn't expect the 76ers to finally trade him to the Mavericks, I have to say that the Cavaliers have nothing worth trading chips for the 76ers, and the 76ers can't be blamed.

These trades are actually a small fight, but the Pacers' sudden and drastic personnel changes also show how important the team owner is to the team. In fact, the Lakers are also looking for some trade possibilities, first of all, the Lakers are now keen to use their second-round picks to trade for a caretaker or two for the water cooler, or look at finding a player or two in the free market who can come to play soy sauce.

However, the success rate of seeking a trade at this point is still relatively low after all, and the chips that the Lakers can give are not attractive, so in the end, although the Lakers are ready to move, they still haven't found a trade partner. The time soon came to December 8th, and the Lakers who returned to Los Angeles ushered in the Rockets, and the Rockets also made everyone's eyes shine this season, and he is currently ranked in front of the Clippers, Grizzlies and other strong teams, ranking fifth in the West, which has a certain relationship with Harden's sudden outburst.

Harden's data this season is also explosive, last season Harden averaged 29 points, 7.5 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game, the data looks very powerful, but in the selection of MVP in the regular season, he didn't get a single vote, so Curry was directly unanimously elected, and this season, Harden broke out, and since the beginning of the season, he has sent a total of 5 30+ triple-doubles, and now the average data per game is almost the same as Wei Shao, 29.5 points, 11.3 assists and 8.6 rebounds, the data is gorgeous, of course, this is also related to his breakup with Khloe Kardashian, if it weren't for Kardashian last season, it is estimated that Harden and Warcraft can go further in the playoffs, at least they will not let the opponent easily eliminate themselves.
