In December, the Lakers will play 15 games, which is relatively denser than in November, but still within the range of affordability.

The Lakers had already learned the style of the Raptors a few days ago, and as soon as they turned their heads, they met the Nuggets, which are currently second only to the Raptors.

The Nuggets said they may not always be the second, and Zhang took just 10 minutes to close the game with his first Weekly Championship of the new season.

The Lakers players found that this second brother looks like he should be the eldest brother, and there is no one who can laugh when he loses.

Everyone can feel that the Nuggets are obviously releasing water when they play against them, and this is also the first time that Zhang Qian can clearly feel that the opponent is releasing water.

Last season's Spurs were also deliberately rotten, but it was not like the Nuggets, Popovich had to force his face to some extent, and the method of others was to hide the players, and the Nuggets were the real rotten, and they didn't want to lose at all.

The Lakers tied the team history of 10 players in double figures, you must know that the last time this happened was a three-overtime game, today the Lakers played a 36-point victory, their average points per game in the new season is about to exceed 125 points, and it is currently an unprecedented average of 124.8 points per game.

This is another statistic that even they didn't expect, and it is just one step away from the Nuggets' 1981-82 season record of 126.5 points per game.

Of course, the media has reported on this at all intervals, because since the 90s, it is almost impossible to average 120 points per game, let alone average 125 points per game.

But it's not that the current team's offensive power is not as good as the previous team, but in today's increasingly developed basketball, the truth of "defense brings championships" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone knows this simple truth: if your opponent pays attention to defense, it will be difficult for you to score, not to mention that if you put too much energy on attack, your defense will be ugly.

The Nuggets were so strong on offense that they averaged 126.5 points per game that season. But the funny thing is that they also conceded an average of 126.0 points per game that season, almost conceding more than 100 points per game......

Now the media praises the Lakers, but not just follow the crowd, the Lakers are indeed much better than the Nuggets in this regard, their season average is close to 125 points, but the points conceded are only 98.6 points, which is simply a situation that can only occur in ancient times, and no team has played such a disparity in net points since the 80s.

"We all know that the Lakers' scoring is going to start going down and I don't think we're going to get that many points all the time, and the last 115 to 120 points is a reasonable number because our goal is not how many points we score in a game, it's the championship in the end."

Zhang Mao's words after the game sounded good, but this is obviously starting to pretend again, and the Lakers, who have won 16 in a row, have officially set their sights on themselves, and they want to break the 33-game winning streak in team history.

Popovich said with a little confidence: Pass us first!

After the Lakers easily defeated the Nuggets, their next opponent is the Spurs, who have the same look as the Jazz.

The Spurs didn't make a big deal in free agency this year, Duncan was drafted and David Wesley was signed under the mid-class regulations, and they didn't spend much money, which is only a few million.

Now the Spurs have traded for Clifford Robinson, again at no cost, but the Spurs' main lineup is completely free of defects after several reinforcements, and their lineup is now even more perfect than the Jazz.

Center: David Robinson (89).

Power forward: Tim Duncan (86).

Small forwards: Clifford Robinson (85), Sean Elliott (82).

Shooting guard: Vinnie Denate (82).

Point guards: Avery Johnson (83), David Wesley (84).

This is the Spurs' main lineup and main rotation players, all seven of them have an ability value of more than 80, and these seven people can fully meet the rotation needs most of the time, most teams rely on seven or eight people to play, and everyone is only occasionally rookie and blue-collar.

Zhang Zhu scoffed at this, and only said "Last time it was away", the implication is that the away team can abuse you by 20 points, and you are ready to accept a 30-point defeat at home.

Kidd was very vicious this time, he sarcastically said: "A team with a 10-7 loss, where does it have the confidence to beat a team that has won 16 in a row?" ”

These words stung San Antonio fans, don't look at the Spurs' lineup is very bright, but this time has not been good.

Although the Spurs' main framework is still there, Duncan, David Wesley and now Clifford are all newcomers, and what is even more uncomfortable is that their head coach is also a newcomer.

This kind of Spurs have to run in from the beginning, not only the players have to adapt to the players, but they also have to adapt to the new coach's tactical play, in short, the current Spurs are in a very unstable state, which can be highlighted from the record.

In today's game, the Spurs lineup has been fine-tuned again, although the shortcomings are gone, but there is not much tacit understanding.

Such a team, no matter how strong it is on paper, the Lakers can easily shoot it to death just by catching mistakes, not to mention that the most powerful thing about the current Lakers is making mistakes, and if you don't have enough tacit understanding, you will inevitably make many mistakes.

The Spurs were outplayed by the Lakers with 30 turnovers throughout the game, which is 11 more than their current average of 19 turnovers per game, compared to 14 two seasons ago.

This also shows that after excluding this game, the current Spurs are still in a run-in state, because the number of mistakes of the top teams will basically not exceed the average of 15 times per game.

The Lakers averaged only 13.2 turnovers per game last year, and this year's average turnovers per game rose to 15, which seems like a little more, but with the collective rise in this statistic across the league, they are already the team with the smallest increase in turnovers.

Back in front of you, with 30 turnovers in a game, no team can win, and the Spurs certainly won't be an exception, and they suffered another 20-point defeat and were beaten out by the Lakers in Los Angeles.

Duncan only played 25 minutes in this game and graduated with 6 fouls, only 8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and he contributed 6 turnovers alone, and his performance was even more tragic than the previous game, it seems that Duncan is really a rookie now!

With a home win over the Spurs, the Lakers went through another back-to-back on Sunday and Monday against the Cavaliers and Trail Blazers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers had a rough start to the year, probably due to Kemp's absence, but when the "Rain Man" returned and formed a perfect interior line with the 221cm Lithuanian midfielder, the Cleveland Cavaliers began to win back-to-back games.

Many overlook the power of this high-level, athletic interior on the defensive end, especially since the 221cm Ilgostas is not a slow-moving or weak guy, and the air defense net of the two has deflated many outside stars.

Zhang Zhu almost missed the front foot in this battle, this should be the first time he was taken by the opponent in the same game four times in addition to his rookie season, Zhang Zhu remembered that he was so embarrassed last time, it seemed that he was still in his rookie season against Olajuwon's Rockets, that year's big dream was too powerful.

The Lakers' winning streak was seriously threatened at home, and they fell behind the Cavaliers in the first half, the first time they had encountered it in the new season.

Obviously, this has something to do with the underestimation of the Lakers players, they don't take the Eastern team too seriously, and that Ilgoskas is not taken seriously, can't Lao Mu clean up a white rookie stupid big man?

Mutombo said in midfield: "I can handle him defensively, but it's none of my business on the offensive end, right? ”

In the second half, Zhang Zhu was forced to the outside by Ilgostas and Kemp, and the Lakers players felt average today, which allowed the Cavaliers to maintain the lead until the fourth quarter.

Lakers fans are also panicking now, Zhang Qi himself is a little uncalm, the combination of the Cavaliers and the fast one makes him have nothing to do, could it be that his winning streak is going to end today?

Cavaliers head coach Mike Flatlow doesn't have much confidence, they are obviously overperforming today, the Lakers are obviously not in shape after the light enemy, but his team still has a lifeline - physical strength.

Ilgoskas, like all tall centers, is not physically fit enough to sustain more than 30 minutes of high-intensity play, but today the Cavaliers have been fighting desperately in order to hold on to their slim lead, and the physical exertion is completely playoff level, which is too difficult for first-year Ilgoskas, who is no longer able to maintain mobility in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Zhang Mao suddenly found that not only did Ilgoskas move slower, but Kemp's pace also declined, which is a bit interesting, no wonder the SuperSonics would be reluctant to give Kemp a long-term contract.

Generally speaking, if there is no injury as a premise, there are only two possibilities - a decrease in training intensity, or poison, otherwise 28 years old is the age when players are most physically active, and it is also the age when a team is most willing to give a long-term contract.

In the fourth quarter, Zhang Fu turned on the scoring mode again, and as long as the pace of the Cavaliers' two interior lines was a little slower, there was no threat in his eyes, and the result was a thousand miles away, not to mention that Ilgoskas was more than a little slower in the fourth quarter.

But the Lakers' final comeback was not only Zhang Zhu, Mutombo sent three big hats in the last quarter of a single quarter, and shook his fingers a total of 6 times, as if he was using this method to show that he is DPOY!

"Fortunately, I got Lao Mu under my own hands, otherwise it would be really troublesome for any team to put together a set of Mutombo + Kemp inside lineup."

Zhang Zhu through this game is more sure that a high and fast inside line can pose a threat to himself, at the beginning he felt that Mutombo is very restrained by his own style, so first get the biggest threat to his own hands to disgust others, otherwise it will be really troublesome to be used by some threatening teams to deal with him.

Well, now, although Lao Mu can always win on the defensive end with five or six blocks and countless successful defenses at night, people will not pay too much attention to his contributions, and even ESPN will simply mention that Lao Mu is important to the Lakers, but it will not be analyzed at too much length, because this kind of defensive center can't attract fans, and you can't attract readers when you analyze him.

But Lao Mu's contribution to the Lakers is actually second only to Zhang Zhu, and even Kidd is not as great as Mutombo's contribution. But there are really not many people who regard Lao Mu as the second leader of the team, not even the third leader, and even more than half of the fans think that Mutombo can have today's achievements because he hugged Zhang Mao's thighs.

Koala babies are happy to think about this, if only everyone could think so.

The Lakers struggled to beat the Cavaliers at home, and found that the Cleveland were far more difficult to deal with than expected, but Zhang felt that this was not a bad thing, and if they could pose a threat to themselves, then they would only be more threatening against the Bulls, and it would save the Bulls from being too laid-back in the East.

Although the Bulls have not won like the Lakers all the time, those guys have only lost two games so far, and the pressure on the Bulls in the Eastern Conference is too small.

The next day, the Trail Blazers, who were thought to be more difficult to deal with, really got started, but they were much easier to deal with than the Cavaliers, and the Lakers once again defeated the team that was beginning to sink on the road with a score of 128-110.

"19 wins in a row!"

Before the Lakers knew it, they had caught up with the second-game winning streak in team history set last year, and Zhang Mao also tied his own career-high winning streak, and he could complete the personal milestone of 20 consecutive wins by beating the Warriors who have won only two games so far.

But the news of the Lakers' 20-game winning streak didn't make headlines the next day, as there was enough news from Detroit that would make Lakers fans crane their necks to pay attention.

On December 11, the "Detroit Free Press" news: In recent days, the consecutive defeats have made Grant Hilton tired, especially after losing to the Nuggets who lost 10 consecutive losses the day before yesterday, the son of Motor City expressed his dissatisfaction.

Grant said yesterday that if the team can't give him enough support, he may even choose to submit a transfer request to the team, leaving the Pistons, who may not make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

At present, the Pistons are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with 7 wins and 13 losses, while Grant Hill can contribute 21.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and he is currently the only superstar in the league who has played 20+8+7 data, and the All-Star vote is temporarily ranked third.

As soon as the news came out, many teams began to be restless, although Hill can't be compared with Zhang Fu in scoring, but after all, he is a superstar who has been compared with Zhang Fu for two years, and if it can be strengthened on the offensive end, the gap between the two will be further narrowed.

The Lakers are also highly concerned about this news, and once a strong team gets Hill through a trade, it will be a big threat to the Lakers.

Chicago released a smoke bomb before the Lakers beat the Warriors - it is said that the Bulls are very interested in Hill, and they are willing to trade Pippen + Rodman for Hill.

Jordan + Barkley + Hill + Van Exel?

The Chicago team suddenly became agitated, completely ignoring Pippen, who has increased his three-point shooting percentage to 42% this year, and they must raise their hands in favor of this deal, once the Bulls form such an F4 lineup, it is a dream for the Lakers to defend the title!

"Won't it?"

Zhang Zhu scored another 45 points on the Warriors, but after hearing the news after the game, he knew that it was unlikely, but he was a little unsettled, who made this combination look a little awesome.

Lakers fans are also worried, the Bulls' current lineup is already very perverted, if Pippen two or three years ago is replaced by Hill, the Bulls' promotion may not be too high, these two people are actually about the same level, at most they are good.

But if the exchange is made now, then the reasoning will not improve much, right?

Zhang Zhu thought about it carefully, Pippen's performance last year was really average, but people practiced hard in the summer, this year's three-point shooting is called a stable, and Jordan both reached a three-point shooting rate of more than 40%, at this time in exchange for a Hill who has no tacit understanding with the Bulls players, and the three-point threat is still equal to zero, will the overall strength of the Bulls really be strengthened?

However, no one thinks this news is fake, Hill is indeed disappointed with the Pistons, if it weren't for the contract signing too long, it won't expire until the summer of the millennium, it is estimated that he would have left long ago.

In fact, in the summer, Detroit reported that Hill was leaving the Pistons, but at that time, the team promised to strengthen the team in the summer and definitely find an All-Star level helper for him, so Hill did not continue to put pressure on the team.

However, the so-called reinforcement of the Pistons turned out to be Bison Dele, who was not wanted by the Lakers and the Bulls from the Bulls, but Thorpe, the starting No. 4 position last season, slipped away, which means that there is no reinforcement, okay?

Now, we can look back at the Pistons' transfer operations in recent years, in fact, they did not attract any powerful stars to assist Hill at all, but several potential players in the team have all left.

Zhang Qi felt that if he was Hill, he would have left early, and he could still wait until now?

So, as soon as the news came out, it didn't matter where Hill wanted to go, anyway, except for the Pistons fans, everyone saved up for Hill and left.

Some American fans still believe that Hill is not as good as Zhang Zhu is completely dragged down by the team, and if he can change to a team with strength, he will not have to admit so much pressure alone, and it is likely that the scoring statistics will come up.

The Lakers began to pay close attention to Hill, and the NBA will have some big deals born after entering December, and the first month of the season is everyone's experimental period for the new lineup, if there are any flaws in the lineup, or if there is anything that needs to be strengthened, it can basically be seen in November, and the next thing is to put the players you don't need on the shelf, and everyone will take what they need.

But no matter what the ups and downs outside, the Purple and Gold's winning streak is still going rain or shine - the Rockets, Mavericks, Timberwolves, they can't pose a threat to the Lakers, and the team's winning streak has increased smoothly to 23 games.

Finally, there is a weighty obstacle in front of the Lakers - the Chicago Bulls!

"Hmph, I've been waiting for them for a long time!"

After Zhang Qi finished educating Garnett, the first words after the game made the media excited.

It's a brand new Bulls team, they're on an 11-game winning streak and have just lost two games this season, so it's a much-anticipated matchup, and there's plenty to talk about with these two teams......
