After ending the strong dialogue with the Spurs, the Lakers also ushered in a wave of super terrifying devil schedules, first of all, they will leave for Chicago to challenge the Bulls, who have performed very well in the East this season, and then they will play against the Thunder team who have played against them, Wei Shao, a data maniac, has already slashed 50+ triple-doubles in the last meeting, but Ye Xuan did not expect that he would be able to perform such a performance again in the following games, and this season has only played less than 15 games, Wei Shao's triple-double has come to 7 times, and two of them are 50+ super triple-doubles, it can be seen how angry and terrifying Wei Shao is when he loses Durant's 'boyfriend'.

Of course, in fact, these two games are just hors d'oeuvres, what is really worth looking forward to is the next two games, these two games Ye Xuan is also ready to play him directly as a series, because the opponents in these two games are the same team - the Warriors, first they will have a move with the Warriors at home, and then after a day of rest, they will go to Golden State to challenge the Warriors. It also got the journalists excited.

What's more, they are in the Warriors' game after the end of the game, immediately against the Hawks, and then back-to-back against the Pelicans, this series of games is almost all strong opponents, even the weakest of them are now ranked sixth in the East, a safe playoff team. Of course, this is a challenge for the Lakers, but also a kind of training, if the Lakers can ensure that they are still in the top three positions in the West in this wave of devils' schedule, then they can easily move up the ranking when they face weak teams in the later stage.

There wasn't much time to recuperate, and the time soon came on November 21, when the Lakers flew to Chicago to take on the Bulls. The Bulls also had a bit of a sad season last season, and despite playing a winning percentage of over 50% for the eighth consecutive season, the Bulls ultimately missed out on the playoffs as ninth in the East, which is obviously an unacceptable result.

Injuries are certainly a big reason for the Bulls' poor performance: Joakim Noah went down in mid-January and was directly reimbursed for the season; Derrick Rose missed many games despite not having a major injury; Jimmy Butler has also been out of action for more than a month due to injury; Mike Dunleavy has been on the sidelines for most of the season; And the other Bulls players are constantly coming and going on the injury list one game at a time.

But injuries aren't the only reason the Bulls are underperforming: Fred Hojberg's replacement of Tom Thibodeau as the new head coach is a move by the club hoping for a change of style from the team, and the results so far are clearly unsatisfactory.

Last season, the Bulls not only lost the tenacity of defense that they were known for (conceded 103.1 points per game last season, and conceded 106.5 points per 100 possessions ranked 16th and 15th, respectively), but also focused on the offense that they wanted to improve, and did not retreat: they averaged 101.6 points per game last season, ranking 21st in the league, and 105 points per 100 possessions, ranking 23rd. The previous season, they were ranked 15th and 11th respectively in these two stats.

The lack of offensive aggression is a big reason for the Bulls' scoring decline: In 2014-15, the Bulls topped the league in free throws and missed free throws (No. 4 and No. 3), while last season they dropped to No. 26 and No. 23, respectively, with 3.2 fewer points per game alone.

By the time the summer decision was made to complete the Rose trade, the Bulls should have made up their minds to hand over the ball to Butler and rebuild the team around him. In this way, it is understandable that the two veterans of Noah and Gasol will leave as free men. In exchange for Rondo, who has been arguing with the team's head coach, the deal was met with a lot of skepticism when it was first announced, because Rondo has been much less effective since his major injury (especially on the defensive end) and he is more reliant on the ball than Rose. However, considering the huge vacuum of the team in the No. 1 position at the time, it is not entirely incomprehensible.

But then due to the fruitless pursuit of Wade and Gasol also left as a free agent, they were only able to sign another free agent from the Heat - Lore Deng. Deng's contract is not big or small, and it is a one-year contract, so it is also a good choice for the Bulls who have begun to prepare for rebuilding, and Lore Deng was also a meritorious player of the Bulls at the beginning, and once led the team to eliminate the defending champion Heat in the 07 playoffs, so it can be regarded as a return to the roots.

The Bulls, who have replaced almost half of the team, have equally obvious strengths and weaknesses. Let's start with the good stuff: First of all, they're on the right path to rebuilding, with few older players on long-term contracts on the team, and having a Jimmy Butler who has been established at the heart of the team, which allows the team to rebuild around a single point.

Second, the new Bulls' basketball IQ has exploded. Between Rondo, Lore Deng, and Jimmy, although Rondo and Jimmy Butler have some problems with their dedication ability, with the minds and experience of the three of them, they may be able to resolve these embarrassments on paper as much as possible through some adjustments in their playing style.

Plus, while the team is desperately lacking in outside shooting, the team's two best shooters, Nikola Mirotic and Doug McDermott, are both young and will almost certainly continue to skyrocket. And López, although he does not have the passion and all-round of Noah, he is younger and healthier, and he is more trustworthy as a penalty gate.

Of course, there are also objective shortcomings: in addition to the aforementioned lack of outside projection and the consequent space problems (including the distribution of the ball), the team also has a serious lack of depth in the backcourt. In the frontcourt, although there are four players such as Lopez, Gibson, Mirotic, and Portis, who can participate in the rotation, none of them can provide stable low-post attacking firepower, and the only Mirotic who can help open up space is a hole on the defensive end. All in all, the Bulls still have problems, it just depends on how they brew.

But it's just such a team that began to brew and rebuild, but it played very well after the start of the season, Rondo's addition made the team's offensive thinking very clear, and without the ball struggle between Jimmy Butler and Rose, Butler also suddenly began to break out, almost a month after the start of the game, the Bulls were able to win 8 games, ranking sixth in the East, which is also a windfall for the Bulls management.

In fact, although the gap in strength between the two teams in this game is still relatively large, there are still a lot of highlights, first of all, after Wade and the Heat fell out, the Bulls have been passing on scandals with Wade, but they didn't expect that they were cut off by the Lakers in the end, and Gasol here was also in the Bulls for the previous two years, although he is now back to the Lakers, but he is also a more popular veteran of the Bulls in the previous two years. Of course, there are still some highlights, such as the stalk between Ye Xuan and Rondo at the beginning, and some media broke the news that Pritchard was because he felt that Rondo could replace Ye Xuan on the offensive end to become the backcourt engine of the Pacers, so he was relieved and boldly traded Ye Xuan. These highlights are combined, so there are still a lot of people paying attention to this game.

But I didn't expect that although there were a lot of highlights in this game, the game was not interesting at all, from the beginning, the balance of the game fell to the Lakers, although Ye Xuan had Jimmy Butler's defense, but he still couldn't completely contain Ye Xuan, but Rondo's point is a bit tragic, although it was Butler who defended Ye Xuan, but it was still Ye Xuan who defended Rondo, if Rondo was still in the Celtics period, Ye Xuan might not be able to prevent his passing, But now Rondo's state has declined, so facing Ye Xuan's defense is simply difficult to death.

The engine was locked, the team's offense came to a complete standstill, and their head coach Hojberg seemed a bit rigid, a typical academic coach, so the ability to adapt on the spot was quite poor, so the tactics of the Bulls were also simple to death, and the reason why they were able to rank sixth in the East was because of Rondo's own improvisation on the court, and now that Rondo himself was locked, the Bulls could only hang up and wait for death.

At the end of the first two quarters of the game, the Lakers easily led the Bulls by 17 points, Ye Xuan didn't even play for long, usually when the game was more anxious, Ye Xuan had to play nearly 20 minutes in the first half, and in this game, Ye Xuan only played 14 minutes in the first half, and the most important thing is that the overall offensive shooting rate of the Bulls side was also very low, only 15 of the 43 shots in the first half, and only 44 points at halftime.

In the second half, the Lakers put a few more main players on it and played for a few minutes, the game entered garbage time, the game was over, and the Lakers also easily won the game, Ye Xuan only played for a total of less than 20 minutes, and the game ended with 17 points and 5 assists. It was also the Lakers' easiest game of the season.

After the end of this game, the Lakers rushed to Oklahoma non-stop to challenge the Thunder, in the last match with the Thunder, Wei Shao frantically brushed 50+ triple-doubles, and the audience was very enjoyable, and Ye Xuan is actually a data maniac, after all, the first 50+ triple-double in the active service was brushed out by Ye Xuan when he was with the Pacers last season, so the audience is also very much looking forward to whether Ye Xuan can also return a 50+ triple-double and other super data to Wei Shao in this game. But no one expected that the Lakers would be beaten by the Thunder in this game.

At the beginning of the game, Ye Xuan and Wei Shao also tested each other for a few rounds as usual, and then began to score points with each other, but Ye Xuan didn't know what was going on today, the shooting rate was not as high as in the previous games, and at the end of the first quarter of the game, Ye Xuan shot 7 times and only hit 3 of them. On the other hand, on the Thunder team's side, Wei Shao also changed the previous state of violent brushing, but began to start with assists, and he had already brushed 4 assists soon after the opening, and at the end of the first quarter of the game, although Wei Shao also had 7 shots, the assists were twice as many as Ye Xuan's, reaching 8 assists.

is also because the other players of the Thunder team had a better hand than the Lakers in the first quarter, so the Lakers were already 7 points behind at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter of the game, Ye Xuan's feeling recovered a little, and Wade broke out in the middle of the game, scoring 8 points in a row, so the Lakers were able to barely maintain the difference at about 5 points.

But in the second half, it didn't work, Ye Xuan still felt that he could only barely bite the score, but there was no chance to overtake, and the Thunder team not only started various three-point performances on the side of the turtle and Oladipo, the second turtle, but also the rebounding ball was constantly caught by Adams, the Australian beard, and the inside and outside were bullied by the opponent, and the game couldn't go on all of a sudden.

In the end, the Lakers lost by 12 points at the end of the third quarter, and the total score was already 17 points behind, and Wharton Jr. also understood that there was basically no hope for this game, so in the fourth quarter of the game, he simply replaced all the main players and replaced them with a bunch of substitutes, and the game naturally entered garbage time.

At the end of the game, although the Thunder team was also playing soy sauce on the bench in the last quarter, the overall shooting rate was still maintained at more than 50%, Wei Shao was also unreasonable today, only played 28 minutes in total, and brushed 24 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds, of course, the rebound was also brushed to the tenth at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but anyway, he got a triple-double record in this game, and the result of losing was different from the 50+ triple-double in the previous game, In this game, he left the victory in Oklahoma.

In fact, there are two reasons why the Thunder can beat the Lakers in this game, of which the Lakers' poor hand is one of the important reasons, the Lakers made 87 shots in the game, only hit 34 goals, and the score was also unprecedented without breaking 100. Another reason is that the Thunder's turtle suddenly found his senses, and he made 17 shots in the game, 12 of which were outside shots, hitting a total of 13 shots, of which 9 were three-pointers, and he scored 37 points in less than 30 minutes of play, and he was the scoring champion of this game, so the Lakers met the explosive Oladipo, and the loss was understandable.
