On the 4th, Pekovic finally returned from injury, and the Lakers' interior pressure was slightly relieved, and they could give up using Bobby Jackson.

On the 5th, the Lakers played against the Pistons at home, and Pekovic played for the first time after recovering from injury.

Big Ben returned to the Pistons last season and continued to lead the Pistons' defense, but Big Ben has entered the end of his career and the defensive threat has weakened a lot.

The former Pistons Five Tigers fell apart, Big Ben came back and forth, Billups and Rashid Wallace also left, leaving Hamilton and Prince to hold on. The two are almost in the late stages of their careers, with Pistons newcomers Starkey and Greg Monroe both performing well, as well as Ben Gordon from the Bulls, and former superstar Maddie forming the current lineup.

The Rocket's Yao Mai combination is now miserable, Da Yao is injured, and Maddie can only play as a substitute. This made Wu Di a little sad, and he talked to Maddie for a long time before the game, reminiscing about the time when he was a teammate in the Rockets.

After the start of the game, the Lakers adjusted their starting lineup, with the UAE returning to the bench and Pekovic as the starter. Because the starting lineup of the Pistons is Big Ben, Greg Monroe, Prince, Hamilton, Starkey.

It was because of the presence of Daben that the Zen master let Pekovic start. Big Ben's defensive threat has declined, but he still retains his experience as the best defensive player. Although Gasol is taller than Big Ben, his strength is much weaker than Big Ben, and in order to liberate Gasol, the Zen master let Pekovic play to use his power to fight Big Ben and keep the rebound.

Because whether it is Gasol or the United Arab Emirates, they have suffered some losses against the power of Shangdaben. And this shouldn't be their role, they are the inside line that opens up the space.

The Pistons' lineup seems to be strong, but there are too many veterans in it, and the defense is strong, but the defense against the fast break is very weak, and they can't keep up with the speed of the Lakers.

Pekovic resisted Big Ben and used his height to protect the rebound. Gasol taught rookie Monroe a lesson and left him with six fouls. Wu Di and Kobe Bryant played normally, and the Lakers easily defeated the Pistons.

On the 6th, back-to-back games against the Suns, the Lakers almost lost. Back-to-back games are physically demanding, and they are still playing against a team like the Suns that tests their hands.

The Suns traded Richardson for Magic's Carter last month, and Carter is still in competitive form as a former superstar. He hasn't been able to show his superstar since his injury, but he's been in good shape and in competitive shape over the years.

Also being traded with Carter is Marcin Gortat, a center with a lot of potential. The center of the Magic is Howard's confinement, and Gortat has no chance at all.

The Suns felt very good in this game, and when they fought with the Lakers, they actually led all the way. If it weren't for Wu Di shooting two three-pointers in a row in the end to overtake the score, the Lakers might really lose.

On the 8th, the Lakers played the Hornets at home.

After Pekovic's return, the Lakers' roster strength has increased. The wasp just struggled for a moment and then disarmed and surrendered.

Then the Lakers won another streak and defeated the Knicks on the 10th, and the Knicks did not have much salary this season. According to the Knicks' practice of spending money lavishly, you can't sign good players without spending money, except for Xiaosi, only Raymond Felton and Wilson Chandler, and Rogallinari are better players. However, these three players are the kind of players who have strength but are not famous, and if it weren't for Wu Di's preparation before playing, he might even have forgotten about these three people.

On the 12th, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers, and the Lakers almost surpassed the largest point difference in this game. At 123:57, the net win was 66 points, just two points short of the largest margin in NBA history.

In this game, the Lakers shot 19 of 32 three-pointers and made 21 steals on the team. And because the Cavaliers took James, the team's strength dropped greatly, the defense was not done well, and the team made too many mistakes, with 26 turnovers. If it weren't for the Lakers' 13 turnovers, the Cavaliers don't know how many points they would lose!

Wu Di was the best of the game, he had 32 points, 10 assists, 11 steals and 6 rebounds, and if it wasn't for the rebounds dragging his legs, he would have had a quadruple-double in this game.

Judging from the performance of the knights, Wu Di can already be sure that they have fallen to the bottom. From a strong team in the league, it has become a strong contender for the top pick, and there is only one superstar missing.

On the 13th, the Lakers played the Warriors away. The Warriors have not had a very good record this season, with Monta Ellis taking too many shots and other players being clearly taken up. And Montaelis plays more alone, and when the ball is in hand, it basically can't get out.

The Warriors management wants to develop Curry, this guard's three-point shooting is too accurate, and if he is trained well, it is definitely a sharp weapon. And because of Curry's short height and speed, his breakthrough is also very threatening, and he can completely replace Montaelis.

In this game, Curry broke out, and the three-point shot was called accurate. Fisher couldn't keep up with his pace at all, he dribbled to the frontcourt, just shook off Fisher, and shot when he got the open space.

Later, the Zen master had to replace Ariza to defend, otherwise, Curry would be able to solve the game himself.

The hero of this game was Pekovic, who withstood the Warriors' interior line on the inside, constantly grabbing rebounds, ensuring the Lakers' rebounds, and not letting the Lakers lose.

On the 15th, the Lakers hosted the Nets, and the Nets have not become stronger all these years. The Lakers easily defeated the Nets and completed a seven-game winning streak.

On the 17th and 18th, the Lakers played the Clippers and Thunder back-to-back.

The Clippers have been strong this season, and the interior combination of Jordan Jr. and Griffin has allowed them to beat many teams, and the Lakers have been planted in the hands of the Clippers.

However, the Lakers won this game, and Pekovic and Gasol cooperated to successfully deal with Jordan Jr. and Griffin. After Pekovic returned from injury, there were signs of an outburst, with a double-double in a game that was not possible before.

Having said that, it was Bynum's injury that gave him a chance, and he started to show his quality. Pekovic's outburst has given Lakers management a new idea, and they want to trade Bynum to make Pekovic officially start.

In this way, not only can it free up space, Bynum's salary of 14 million is too high, but the management also has to consider Wu Di's contract renewal in the summer, Wu Di must be the top salary, and he must make room for his salary.
