The Lakers and Warriors game will kick off at the Staples Center. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Once again, this game has attracted a lot of attention.

No. 1 in the West or even No. 1 in the league, with the Lakers 25-2 now, it looks like it can't be shaken for the time being.

But it's not impossible, just like the Pacers last season, it looks like they are about to break the Bulls' 72-win record, who knows that after the All-Star suddenly collapsed.

Therefore, there are so many teams in the West that have the potential to counterattack the first place are very valued.

These teams are the Thunder, Rockets, Warriors, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, and Clippers, the Grizzlies are the first to fall behind, and the players are too old to support the high-intensity defensive counterattack for too long.

The Trail Blazers and the Clippers are too poor on the bench, the Trail Blazers have always been poor on the bench, and the Clippers look like the bench is quite good, but I don't know why the Clippers played poorly, some fans speculated that it may be that the night scene in Los Angeles is too attractive, and the energy of the Clippers bench has been sucked away.

The rest is the Thunder, Rockets, Warriors, these three teams have a similar record, the Warriors and Thunder were originally a little higher than the Rockets, but now the Thunder has lost three in a row and fallen to sixth, the Rockets were originally two wins less than the Warriors, and suddenly the Warriors became the only team in the West that can challenge the Lakers in addition to the Lakers.

Therefore, in this Lakers and Warriors game, everyone wants to see if there is a strong team that can beat the Lakers.

Although the Lakers have lost to the Wizards and Pacers before, fans don't care about the Lakers' loss to those teams, because there is no chance for the two teams to meet in the playoffs, and the victory or defeat of the two teams in the regular season is only valuable between playoff opponents.

This year's Warriors are more favored than the Warriors who rose in the 14-15 season in Liu's memory for a number of reasons, because there is already a precedent for the Lakers' success last season, and after the Warriors gradually settled into second place in the West, fans have reason to believe that the Warriors are seeded in the Western Conference semifinals or even the Western Conference finals.

As a result, the Lakers and Warriors will last meet in 2014, and the last meeting between the two teams this season will not be until the end of March next year.

At noon, Liu Ren entertained Curry and others at home for lunch, and then came to the Staples Center early, and Curry and his party returned to the hotel early, and the coaches of both teams had pre-game arrangements.

D'Antoni did not emphasize what to arrange, but he was further reducing the playing time of Kobe Bryant and Gasol, so that Nash had a little more playing time.

Since the beginning of the season, Kobe has played 27 games, and Bryant has played 22 games, averaging 22 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in 31 minutes per game, and his playing time and attendance have been much more than the team expected at the beginning.

So this time D'Antoni's arrangement has nothing other than increasing the playing time of Nick Young, Korver and Antetokounmpo, and reducing the playing time of Kobe Bryant and Gasol.

"The next schedule will be very difficult, so in some unnecessary games, we have a lot of players who need to rest, of course, this means that the players on the bench have more opportunities to show themselves, I hope the young players can show their strength, it is better to run the starters, to be honest, I see those old faces are already annoying, which of you can fight!" D'Antoni said with a helpless expression.

"Hahahaha, coach, I'll work hard!" Ravan shouted.

"Damn! Zach, you're trying to steal the starting spot I managed to get! This was given to me by Steve! Jeremy Lin exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Hahahaha......"

The rest of the Lakers couldn't help but laugh.

The Lakers players are very relaxed, because the Lakers won the first two games against the Warriors, although the process was more difficult, but they won after all, so the Lakers players don't pay much attention to the Warriors, because the Warriors are favored and are favored, after all, they are still a team that has just risen, and the Lakers players are now much more horizontal, and they don't look down on the Warriors for a while.

Only Liu Ren understands what the Warriors should achieve this year, although the Warriors have less Green, but there is more talented Randle, Randle is very young, and it is a fact that he has no experience with Green, but talent is an unavoidable topic after all, Randle is indeed physically talented, and if he develops well, he will never be worse than Randle in the future, and he may be stronger than the Warriors in the 2015-2016 season in Liu Ren's memory!

Liu Ren looked at his teammates treating the Warriors as ordinary opponents, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Coach, the opponent is the second strongest Warrior in the league, don't we need any special arrangements?" ”

The second strongest in the league? D'Antoni was a little surprised to hear this title, how did the Warriors become the second best in the league?

Not only D'Antoni, but Nick Young also said: "Boss, the second best in the league can't be the turn of the Warriors, right? Although they are now second in the league, I think the Clippers and Grizzlies are better. ”

The rest of the Lakers players also chimed in, apparently not taking the Warriors very seriously.

Liu Ren really has nothing to say this time, he can't say that this Warriors will play against all other teams in the West in the playoffs, and easily defeat the Eastern champion Cavaliers in the finals, right?

Demons will believe.

Not to mention other teams, the Cavaliers alone have now become a big target for championship teams, and the Cavaliers have shown too much strength since the start of December.

Of course, there doesn't seem to be Lefu in this big three, but the rising Tristan Thompson, only two meters and eight Thompson rebounds to complete Lefou, and the defense is far beyond Lefou, the value has soared from last season's base salary to 10 million, and the average can get 8+8 data per game, almost half of the rebounds are frontcourt rebounds, and James can finally shoot as he wants, not afraid that his teammates will not be able to grab offensive rebounds.

After James, Irving, and Thompson played a tacit cooperation, the Cavaliers' record soared, and they have surpassed the Raptors to become third in the West, second only to the Hawks and Knicks, who have been strong at the beginning.

And this is because Lefu didn't really integrate into the Cavaliers, he played so well, and won against strong teams one after another, which made other teams worry that if Lefu was also integrated into the Cavaliers system, wouldn't it become the Big Four?

The teammates didn't care, the coach didn't care, Liu Renzhen had nothing to say.

The Lakers' current situation is actually not as rosy as it seems, and Kobe Bryant has begun to show a bit of fatigue in recent games, which is why the Lakers did not hesitate to agree when the Hawks offered to trade Korver for Bazemore, because it would give Bryant more opportunities to rest.

The real strength of the Lakers' outside line is actually Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren, and the other outside lines can only perform so well with these two people, which Liu Ren knows very well.

If Kobe Bryant declines because of too much playing time, it will inevitably affect the overall performance of the Lakers on the outside.

But it is inevitable that Kobe's form will decline, after all, he is so old.

Seeing that his teammates didn't care about the Warriors, Liu Ren could only cheer himself up: "Then I'm the only one who works hard to defeat the Warriors!" ”
