Chapter Seventy-One: The Month of March Ends

Tony excitedly hugged the basketball to his chest, and after winning the game, he couldn't help but shout loudly, the feeling of double killing O'Neal was really cool!

O'Neal glanced at his mouth, the team lost the game by one point, which also made his 29 points and 13 boards meaningless, no matter what, there are still some regrets, but he is not too angry, but he is very open, after all, now that the Magic's record has stabilized, one or two wins and losses will not affect their playoff rankings at all.

......

Tony took a shower in the locker room, and he and Kobe Bryant left for the post-game press conference.

Tony played 48 minutes in this game, although the performance of 16 points, 16 rebounds, 1 block and 4 assists did not look very perverted, but he kept wrestling with O'Neal throughout the game, and limited O'Neal's shooting percentage to less than 50%, which became the Lakers' ability to drag the game to the end.

And Kobe Bryant's hand in this game is not very good, he scored 27 points on 8-of-25 shooting, and the shooting rate is even less than 40%, but no one can deny his role on the court, it is precisely because he attracts almost all of the Magic's outside defense that there will be Jones's morale-boosting ball, and this ball is also a microcosm of his entire game.

At the press conference, Tony answered a few questions from reporters who were not nutritious, and immediately felt a little bored, he kept digging the nails on his hands, and answered the questions a lot perfunctory, but fortunately, the reporters found that they couldn't find any topics on him, and they quickly shifted the target to Kobe Bryant, who was a combination of iron striking and victory, and Tony escaped.

......

As for O'Neal's proposal to go to a nightclub, Tony still chose to politely decline, after all, the Lakers will fly to New Jersey the next day to challenge the Nets, although the Nets are a weak team, but Tony does not want to be a soft-footed shrimp when the time comes. And, on a deeper level, Tony doesn't want to make any lace news, his heart is now completely on Jessica, and he doesn't want to do anything to be sorry for Jessica.

Of course, these Tony won't talk to O'Neal, though.

O'Neal didn't bother with it again after learning that Tony had a game the next day, after all, after so many years in this league, he still had the professionalism of not having fun the night before the game.

The next night, the Memphis Grizzlies are at home.

Today's Lakers seem to have exhausted all their passion in last night's game against the Magic, so much so that their whole team has been listless in this game against the Nets. Even though Harris kept pushing his players to cheer up off the field, it still didn't achieve much.

However, he can also sympathize with the Lakers players' performance, after all, back-to-back games on the road are always a physical challenge for the players, and the Nets have a record of only 21 wins and 46 losses so far, and their performance is completely a lottery team.

It's no surprise that the Lakers' players would let their guard down.

However, there are no weak teams in the NBA, and even if the team has a bad record, if you don't deal with it seriously, you may capsize in the gutter.

97:108

The Lakers lost by 11 points and they let the Nets throw 16 three-pointers in their heads.

After a day's rest, the Lakers players finally got some spirits up, and in the home game against Milwaukee, they vaguely played a little bit more of the competitive form they had in that day's game against the Magic.

This season, the Lakers are playing against the Bucks for the second time, and last time, they lost to the Bucks.

However, the current Lakers team has grown very quickly after a few months of training, they are no longer the Lakers they used to be, and now they have a record of 39 wins and 28 losses, if they can win 11 of the next 15 games, the Lakers can even complete the feat of 50 wins in a single season, which is undoubtedly a very difficult goal, but it is not impossible.

The Bucks have a 28-40 record so far this season, and they are now in 11th place in the East, and if nothing miracles happen, they are basically out of the playoffs, and they are not a team at the same level as the Lakers.

However, the Bucks still caused a lot of trouble for the exhausted Lakers.

Their rookie Ray Allen, who was drafted with the No. 5 pick this year, has already shown his remarkable three-point talent, hitting five of his eight three-point attempts throughout the game, which is undoubtedly a very powerful thing in an era where three-point shooting is not too important.

And, in the final minute of the game, he used a three-pointer to help the team overtake the score, and the Lakers were scared into a cold sweat, after all, they maintained the lead for nearly the whole game, and it would be a shame to be reversed by the Bucks in the final minute and lose the game.

Thankfully, Toni then assisted Hawk with a mid-range shot to return the favor, and the Lakers once again overtook the score, and this time, they held on to the advantage and ultimately failed to make the Bucks succeed in turning the game around.

101:98。

The Lakers narrowly beat the Bucks by 3 points at home.

Kobe Bryant had a slight upper hand in this matchup with Ray Allen, he scored 26 points, 6 boards, 7 assists and 2 steals on 10-of-22 shooting, while Tony played the whole game, he shot 13-of-18 and scored 32 points, 14 boards, 4 assists and 3 blocks.

And Ray Allen also scored the highest score of the Bucks team, he scored 23 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists on 8-of-17 shooting.

The Lakers didn't bask in the joy of victory for long, and the next day they traveled halfway across the United States to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies on the road.

It was their last race in March.

The Grizzlies have a worse record than the Lakers' last opponent, the Bucks, and they are now 12-60, the bottom of the West. However, they didn't look like they were going to make it too easy for the Lakers, as Sharif Abdul Rahim scored a game-high score with 24 points and seven boards on 7-of-18 shooting in 38 minutes. And the Lakers' super sixth man last season, Anthony Piller, seemed to be in revenge for the team to sell him, taking 17 shots in the game, but Kobe's defense made him hit the iron frequently, hitting only 5 shots.

The Lakers weren't in good shape either, and Bryant and Toney also got caught up in a strange rhythm of playing iron on the offensive end, scoring just 13 and 11 points, respectively.

With the depth of the roster, the Lakers still won the game 102-98.

Harris finally breathed a sigh of relief that the Lakers had finished their March run, and they had four days off to get back on the ground.
