With the end of the All-Star weekend, the league has once again entered a busy rhythm of the game, and the trades that took place between the trade deadlines are generally small repairs, except for the Cousins trade that will trigger a series of changes, and even the championship center battle triggered by Bogut's cut by the 76ers is just a move by various teams to buy insurance for their playoffs.

On the fifth day after the end of the All-Star Weekend, the Lakers finally ushered in a new opponent again, and their opponent this time was none other than Wei Shao, who scored the highest score in the Western West in the All-Star Game.

Fortunately, Wei Shao is not particularly important to the MVP trophy of the All-Star Game, and he is now presumably bent on achieving a better ranking in the regular season, so that he can use his life's learning in the playoffs to teach Durant, a traitor, some lessons. And Ye Xuan is not on his revenge list now.

In this game, the Lakers also have a new teammate to report, that is, Ye Xuan's former teammate Roy Hibbert, because Hibbert was traded directly, so after completing various procedures and physical examinations, he can directly represent the Lakers, and the rest of the All-Star Weekend in these days just gave him time to handle these things, as for Matt Barnes, he needs to wait until the claim period has passed before he can appear in the Lakers' locker room.

In fact, Roy Hibbert still misses himself very much when he was with the Pacers, and he can't say what went wrong with him, in short, when he was playing for the Suns and the Hornets, Hibbert seemed very absent-minded, of course, this is probably also related to his mentality, when he was with the Pacers, no matter what, he was at least the team's interior core, and later won the championship with the Pacers, and the season after that he was by the side of Ye Xuan, a master of passing, the data was not bad, But after being traded to the rebuilding team Suns, he found that his situation was a little different, the team often made all kinds of bizarre mistakes, and he didn't get any offensive opportunities, the team gave Booker and others in the backcourt unlimited firing rights in order to cultivate the core, and Hibbert gradually became a blue-collar player who grabbed rebounds.

It makes Hibbert feel that he has been discriminated against and insulted, and the way he resists is also very problematic, you want to prove that you have the strength, so you go to blow up the opponent in the middle of the game, lead the team to victory, you grab dozens of rebounds, and the next day the newspaper is not all about you alone? As a result, he didn't work hard, but chose to give up on himself, and began to sleepwalk on the court, and he couldn't work, which made the Suns be able to provide him with some stable playing time, but when he saw him like this, he gave up renewing his contract, and then after the contract expired, he still wanted to seek a new contract, but other teams saw his performance, where did they dare to sign him, and finally the Hornets got him into the team with an annual salary of five million, And Boss Qiao found that his team still hadn't been able to bring Hibbert back to life, and now the gambler had become a magician, and he was hoping that Ye Xuan would be able to reactivate Hibbert.

And Ye Xuan is indeed ready to do this, so after Hibbert came to the team, Ye Xuan also went to meet him for the first time, and talked about the old days, when talking about the highlight moments in the Pacers before, Hibbert was obviously still very touched, and Ye Xuan also took this opportunity to once again show his ability to talk to experts and part-time confidant brothers, facing Hibbert is a meal of chicken soup, although I don't know if Hibbert can find his state in the game again in the end, But at least now Ye Xuan has barely reversed his mentality.

There is actually nothing to say about the game with the Thunder, on one side is the Lakers, all the players are here, and there is a new addition Hibbert who also came to report, and the Thunder on the other side is a little different, although they have officially announced the deal about Ty Gibson, but Gibson can not play in this game, because his physical examination has not been completed, after all, this game is on the 25th, and their official announcement time is the 24th, so they are not only without Ty Gibson now, and even Moro and the others who were sent away in the trade have already left the team, and their combat effectiveness is even weaker than before the trade.

In addition, Wei Shao estimated that he did not have any anger to explode in the face of his hometown team, the Lakers, so in this game against the Lakers, the combat effectiveness was not so explosive, although in the end, he still went his own way and brushed a triple-double of 31 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, but it was the Lakers who won the game in the end.

After a week's rest, Gasol's season fatigue has also been greatly relieved, plus the team's current rotation and the like have basically taken shape, so the Lakers basically won the game directly in this game, Ye Xuan played 32 minutes and scored 28 points plus 13 assists, while Wade only scored 13 points, but he also had 7 assists and 5 rebounds, in addition, the Lakers' data is the most eye-catching, It is estimated that it is Randle, and it is estimated that he also knows that the team has a new inside line to compete with him, and this inside line is still a teammate when he won the championship with Ye Xuan before, so he naturally has some pressure, and this pressure is naturally transformed into his motivation on the court, after the whole game, although he only played 29 minutes, he hit 9 goals in 12 shots, got 21 points and 9 rebounds, and almost single-handedly resisted the opponent's Adams for a whole game. Of course, this is one of the reasons why Gasol played very easily after the end of this game, because of Randle's excellent play, Gasol was able to calmly float on the outside and shoot three-pointers and the like.

After this game, the February game is gradually coming to an end, and they only have two games left in February, one of which is to take on the Spurs in San Antonio, and the other is to play the Hornets in Charlotte.

Speaking of the Spurs, we have to mention the current situation and state of the Spurs, they have lost the spiritual pillar of the team in the past two decades this season - Duncan, and then because of various difficult competition in the West, so the situation is not particularly good, last season they were able to get 67 wins, ranked second in the West, and now they can only rank fifth in the West, in front of him in addition to the Lakers, Warriors and Pelicans, The most surprising thing is that the Rockets are also ahead of the Spurs this year with Harden's sudden outburst.

And because the core of the team is now gradually turning to the combination of Ade and Leonard, the role of Parker and Ginobili in the original three carriages in the game is becoming less and less obvious, and even in some games this season, Ginobili has a performance of 6 shots 0 of 7 shots. In addition to the aging of personnel, the Spurs' current tactical changes may also be one of the reasons for the decline in their record, this season without Duncan, Aldridge and Jefferson have become Duncan's replacements, but last season Aldridge after a season of tuning, still not well integrated into the Spurs' tactical system, which made the old man Zhuge very annoyed, but he had nothing to do, but he could only fit Ade's style of play appropriately in tactical ideas, So this season's Spurs can clearly feel that their singles will become more single, and the ball handler has changed from the original point guard or interior to Leonard as a small forward.

The Lakers actually attach more importance to the game with the Spurs, compared to the Spurs, everyone knows that their current style of play in the regular season is like playing at home, one will find a reason to take a turn off this main force, one will find a reason to take a turn off the main force, one day if Zhuge Vic himself wants to take a turn off, just quarrel with the referee on the court, and then take two T's home to rest, anyway, there is a bald man on the bench who can command the battlefield.

When the time comes, if the Lakers really meet the Spurs in the playoffs, then they will definitely still play very hard. So in this game, the Lakers also sent their strongest system, and it is estimated that in order to curb Jefferson's role on the inside, Hibbert will also be able to get some playing time.

The process of the game did not go as Wharton Jr. expected, and the Spurs didn't seem to want to spend too much energy on the Lakers, because they still have a back-to-back game with the Rockets tomorrow, which can give them a chance to get the first round of home-court advantage in the playoffs, so in this game with the Lakers, the Spurs actually gave up directly and selectively, after losing to the Lakers, The Spurs are 1.5 wins behind the Rockets, and the next game between the two teams will be directly face-to-face, and this season the Rockets will have a very difficult schedule in March, and maybe the Spurs will be able to overtake them in one go.

After easily defeating the Spurs, who didn't let the main players play much, the Lakers' number of wins this season has unknowingly come to 50 games, and they rarely have a chance to impact the 73-win record set by the Warriors last year, but it's still the same sentence, the Lakers are not particularly interested in this kind of record, especially last year when the Warriors consumed too much physical energy in the regular season in order to get that record, After the experience that caused them to play a little hard in the Finals, the Lakers are now even less likely to force this record.

Time flies, on February 29th, the Lakers finally came to Charlotte to challenge the Hornets of Old Man Joe, to say that the Hornets are actually a more tragic team this season, last season they were able to reach the playoffs, but this season they can only rank in the fourth from the bottom of the East, and now they are further swooping down to the lower position, obviously Jordan's level of viewing still needs to be improved, in order to give Batum a contract of 100 million yuan, the Hornets directly gave up Jeremy Lin, who was the price of cabbage, At the same time, in order to save money, the veteran Jefferson was also let go, and a soy sauce Hibbert was brought in, and now everyone knows that Hibbert was sold to the Lakers for a second-round pick, and now the Lakers are back with Hibbert.

And this game the Lakers finally ushered in another new signing, after a two-day clarification period and various medical examinations and procedures, Matt Barnes returned to Los Angeles again, he has actually lived in Los Angeles for five seasons, and now returning to Los Angeles is also a return to a familiar place.

Ye Xuan naturally knew that facing this weaker opponent today was also an opportunity for his new teammates to regain their confidence, so shortly after the game started, Ye Xuan communicated with Wharton Jr., and then asked him to replace Barnes and Hibbert, although Hibbert had reported on the Lakers in the first two games, but he didn't play much, he played 3 minutes in a game, and only scored two points and a board, and although he played 10 minutes in this game with the Spurs, But the data is still only two points and one board, this state is not able to satisfy Ye Xuan and Wharton, so in this game, Ye Xuan wants to help him regain his self-confidence, and the method is naturally to feed all kinds of cakes.

In fact, the process of this game is still very interesting, for example, Ye Xuan tried to send a wonderful pass to Hibbert during the game to help the latter relay in the air, but Hibbert directly did not notice the pass, which led to a mistake on Ye Xuan's back, and for example, Ye Xuan asked Hibbert to come up to help block and dismantle, but Hibbert didn't know if it was a little too rusty, and the running position after the block and dismantling completely overlapped with Ye Xuan, causing Ye Xuan to almost make another mistake, but fortunately, Ye Xuan threw the ball in time with a posture of riding a horse and shooting arrows. Otherwise, it is another mistake of walking in violation of the law.
