After three games in a five-game streak, the Lakers' record is 58-16, a win that is equal to the record set last year. Next, the Lakers have 8 games left, and if they win all of them, it means that the Lakers' final record can reach 66 wins.

However, considering that the possibility of the Lakers winning the first place in the league is already very high, and the Lakers' focus is on the playoffs, then the Lakers should not be too eager to pursue victory unless they are very concerned about the record. After all, getting enough rest and staying fit is all that matters.

The outside world is curious about how the Lakers will cope with the final few games, and what the Lakers' final record will be. And, the most critical point is that the Lakers' final record will be related to whether Chu Xuan can win the best head coach for a second time. You must know that last season's Lakers have won 58 wins under Chu Xuan's coaching. And if the Lakers can't make a big breakthrough on this record, then it is unlikely that he will win the best head coach award for a second time.

It seems that with this kind of factor in it, then Chu Xuan's next choice will attract much attention.

Before the game against the Thunder, Barkley chatted with Chu Xuan during the live broadcast.

In front of the national audience, Barkley asked Chu Xuan if he cared about winning the best head coach for the second consecutive year. Because, if Chu Xuan cares, then he will definitely let the team go all out to win every game in the next schedule, and only then will Chu Xuan have the possibility of winning a second consecutive game if he has a large breakthrough in his record.

And if Chu Xuan doesn't care, then the Lakers will definitely approach the next schedule in the way that is most conducive to preparing for the playoffs. Then this will also increase the Lakers' competitiveness in the playoffs and the possibility of defending their title.

Barkley's question was quite subtle and tricky, and Chu Xuan's answer immediately attracted the attention of fans around the world.

"I'm not going to allow the players to deal with the next games because if you always lose, it's definitely going to have a big impact on the morale of the team. If possible, I would ask the players to end the season with a winning streak. Of course, you can also understand that I care about the glory of the manager. Because that's exactly what happened, a winning streak would give me a good chance of going on to win the next job. But, no matter how you interpret it, I'm going to stick to my demands. We're going to do our best to make the playoffs with the highest morale we can do. ”

No one expected Chu Xuan to answer like this, which was very surprising.

On this issue, Chu Xuan actually used such a direct way to ask the players to go all out to finish the next schedule.

For a while, fans all over the world began to talk wildly, and many people expressed great doubts about Chu Xuan's methods. And some people even lashed out at Chu Xuan very directly, thinking that he shouldn't care about the best head coach award and should focus on the playoffs.

Chu Xuan didn't care about the public opinion of the outside world, and he didn't have any response, he focused his attention on the next game.

The Thunder's record this season is not bad, but it is not difficult to find that there is still a big gap between the Thunder and the Lakers in terms of overall strength, this team only relies on the strong individual ability of Shuangshao, and there has been no improvement in team tactics for several years, so this ultimately restricts the possibility of the Thunder winning the championship.

Prior to this game, the Lakers had a 2-1 record against the Thunder.

And this time, the Lakers' goal is to turn that record into 3-1.

At 8 p.m. on the 31st, the game was held at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and the atmosphere of the game was still as hot as the previous games, and the hostility shown by the Thunder fans was still very strong.

It seems that for this team, their hatred of the Lakers is still indelible.

In this game, the starters of both sides were:

Lakers: Kobe, LaVine, Noll, Gasol and Whiteside.

And the Thunder are: Westbrook, Lamb, Durant, Perry Jones and Ibaka.

From the perspective of the lineup, the Lakers' advantage is not particularly obvious, but if it really fights, the Lakers do have an overwhelming advantage, because the Thunder's team offense is not at the same level as the Lakers.

At the beginning of the game, Bryant focused on organizing the players to run and play team offense. And with excellent movement and smooth passing, the Lakers immediately showed a very strong offensive advantage. On the other hand, the Thunder always have a hard time moving the ball, and when the offense is blocked, they can only rely on individual offense to score. In this way, the Lakers quickly seized the initiative, and in the first quarter of the game, the Lakers completely suppressed the Thunder.

When the first quarter ended, the score was 32-21, and the Lakers led by 11 points. In the second quarter, Brooks began to emphasize defense, and the Thunder had a bit of a turnaround. However, with the Lakers blooming more, the Thunder are still suppressed...... Soon, the halftime was over, and the Lakers had a 16-point lead at 57:41.

'We have the confidence to win and we won't give them a chance to come back. Regardless of what Russell and Kevin think, after this game, I will definitely leave with a win. At halftime, Bryant was interviewed. And his confident remarks immediately sparked a frenzied boo at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

It seems that Kobe's words sounded arrogant to them, and Westbrook and Durant were naturally angered by him.

I have to say that Shuangshao is indeed the best star player in the league, however, they are facing a Lakers team with an impregnable defense, and the Lakers have players who can fully defend them, which makes the single offense of the two completely inefficient. This is what the Lakers envy any team, you know, players like Westbrook and Durant, in the same position, the physical condition is a huge advantage. Many teams struggle to find players who can defend them without losing size...... And the Lakers, with outliers like LaVine, Noll, and Antetokounmpo, make the Lakers the best team in defending the Thunder.

In the second half, the defensive intensity of both sides was very high, and during the game, the smell of gunpowder was full.

However, under the strict and prudent blowing of the referees, there was no conflict between the two sides, and the game was also thrilling.

In the last two quarters, the scores of the two sides were 22:16 and 22:22 respectively.

In other words, even with the Thunder playing a very strong defense, the Lakers still have the advantage.

The final score between the two sides was 101-79, and the Lakers beat the Thunder by 22 points to get their 59th win of the season, breaking last season's record.

The Lakers played an amazing defense and successfully limited Dewey's two less.

The efficiency of the two men was quite low, with Durant only scoring 19 points and 9 boards on 7-of-16 shooting. Westbrook, on the other hand, was 9-of-21 from the field and contributed 19 points and six assists.

On the other hand, for the Lakers, Kobe Bryant's performance was still strong, with 16 points and 11 assists. (To be continued.) )
