The Lakers were probably stimulated by the game between the Clippers and the Pacers, and the next game against the Bulls was in average condition, plus Kobe Bryant, Nash, and Gasol were unexpectedly rotated by D'Antoni, Liu Ren got 41 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, but still couldn't prevent the Lakers from losing to the Bulls 91-97.

Regarding the matter of the three old men of the team resting in rotation, Liu Ren said after listening to D'Antoni's explanation that it is understandable that he has accumulated a lot of wins before the All-Star, and he must start preparing for the playoffs after the All-Star.

The Bulls, a team with a strong defense and a lot of physical contact, make sense to rest Kobe, Gasol, and Nash, three old men with a history of injuries, anyway, the Bulls survived the second round of the playoffs, and there is no chance to play again this season.

Liu Ren thinks that D'Antoni may have seen the Pacers' All-Star performance and understand something, D'Antoni is the head coach who has played in the Western Conference Finals, and he is still much better than Vogel's head coach with little coaching experience, and if D'Antoni doesn't see what happened to the Pacers, it will make Liu Ren feel strange.

The Lakers' loss was drowned out by the news of the Pacers' heavy loss to the Clippers, allowing D'Antoni to narrowly avoid being sprayed by fans and media because of the rotation.

The next day, the Lakers faced the Jazz back-to-back at home.

The Jazz are really unlucky, originally according to the Lakers' rotation strategy before the All-Star season, it was to choose strong teams to fight back-to-back, and weak teams to take turns to rest, but now the Lakers coaching staff has changed their strategy, if it is not a strong team that will play in the playoffs, they will take turns to rest and try to fight hard, but the weak opponent will abuse the whole team together and get the victory in hand.

A few months ago, Hayward, who began to gain popularity because of that Facebook article, was once again abused by Liu Ren and Kobe Bryant in grief and anger, Kobe Bryant beat Hayward to tears on the offensive end, Liu Ren really made Hayward cry on the defensive end, and Liu Ren, who was getting better and better defensively, defended Hayward and only scored 8 points on 3 of 14.

121-97 Lakers beat Jazz back-to-back.

With back-to-back one win and one loss, the Lakers' record has become 37-14, which is gratifying.

However, no one cared about the Lakers' opponent in this game, and the Pacers made news again, and the Lakers were completely thrown aside by the fans.

The Pacers challenged the Sacramento Kings at the bottom of the Pacific Conference back-to-back, and fans thought that the last Pacers fiasco should have been an accident, but this time it should be able to rise, just like they won four consecutive victories over the Thunder, Grizzlies, Pelicans, and Cavaliers after their heavy defeat to the Lakers.

But the Pacers lost miserably again, still to the third-to-last Kings in the West!

The Kings have been a notorious team in the league since the end of the glamorous Princeton in the early 20th century, even after selecting Cousins, who may be the most talented player in the class of 2010.

Cousins has always given people the impression that he has good talent and good skills, but he plays alone, does not pass, loses his temper with his teammates, and throws ...... It's almost all negative adjectives.

But when the Kings hosted the Pacers, who were No. 1 in the East, Cousins turned into an all-round center in the Pacers' offense and defense, which for some reason had become terrible, and he played all kinds of points, defense, outside shooting, rebounds, and assists.

Cousins scored 47 points, 19 rebounds and 11 assists on 17-of-35 shooting, almost getting 40+20+10, but still got a super triple-double.

Before All-Star Weekend, Hibbert, who had already thought that there was no suspense about winning the center position of the best defensive player of the season and the first team of the best team, actually scored 0 points and 0 boards for the second game in a row.

For a while, Cousins's reputation as "the league's No. 1 center" has spread, this is not an exaggeration for fans, in this era of center decline, a big center like Cousins with first-class skills and physical talent that is not lost to the jumping man is definitely expected to compete for the league's No. 1 center!

Just looking at the data, Cousins averaged 23 points and 10 rebounds per game this season, and there is really nothing comparable to him in the center position!

Young top centers like Whiteside and Drummond are only strong in rebounding and average in scoring.

"Longevity!" Liu Ren was stunned when he saw Cousins' data, dare to love this Hibbert from now on incarnate a center ATM? Cousins actually took this opportunity to get even more disastrous data than his previous 40+ tuba triple-double, and he was about to catch up with James's 50+ triple-double.

I have to say that Liu Ren is very impressed by Cousins's outstanding physical talent and skills, if his team has such a center......

Liu Ren thinks about it or forget it, Cousins's character, let the Kings toss, don't make trouble for your own team, Green and Whiteside's future achievements are definitely better than Cousins, both of them have already shown their talents, and such a shrewd management of the Lakers will not let the two be buried.

Over the next few days, the Pacers went from shocking people to making people feel like their worldview was collapsing, and finally even the fans themselves felt that it was amazing to accept it all.

Starting with the Pacers' heavy losses to the Clippers and Kings, they returned to their home court with consecutive losses to the Wizards, Bucks, and Bobcats, directly sending a wave of five consecutive defeats.

The attention of the entire league was attracted by the Pacers, and people thought that the Pacers were not adjusted at first, but they kept losing and losing, and the Pacers were in a slump of the whole team, and even the Bucks, who were extremely clumsy in offensive ability, lost to each other 67-75.

The Pacers have never been more in the spotlight than they are now, and even as they almost made NBA history in the first half of the season, not many people paid attention to them.

The Lakers and the Heat, Spurs and other favourites don't have much to follow right now because they've been playing well lately.

Playing well and still want to get people's attention? Now fans who don't follow the Pacers will be despised!

The Lakers had a day off after back-to-back games against the Bulls and Jazz, and immediately another back-to-back game against the Thunder and Celtics.

The Thunder team relies on Durant alone this year, thanks to Durant's really good this year, otherwise it would not be possible to be in the top four.

However, although Durant is strong, the rest of the Thunder began to decline after the All-Star, Westbrook practiced while recovering from injuries this year, and was told by the doctor to rest for two weeks after the All-Star.

Ibaka suffered from swelling after hitting his knee with Perkins in practice before the All-Star break, and I don't know what the Thunder management thought about the fractured bone after the All-Star review, and the expected recovery time is 6 to 8 weeks, and if you are lucky, you may be able to make the playoffs.
