Perhaps it was the winning streak on the road that made the Lakers a little slackened, and when they returned to their home court, they were beaten hard against the SuperSonics. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

89:115

The Lakers beat the SuperSonics by 26 points.

Detreve Schramf faced the Lakers in this game, he hit 14 of 18 shots in the game, and scored 34 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in the game, and his accurate shots ruthlessly took the lives of the Lakers, and Gary Payton also completely broke Fisher, he scored 21 points, 6 boards and 10 assists on 8-of-17 shooting.

On the Lakers side, except for Eddie Jones, who scored 28 points, no one scored double-doubles, Kobe Bryant and Tony only scored 9 and 5 points respectively, and their poor performance completely lost the Lakers' offense.

However, the tragedy was not over, and in the following game against the Cavaliers on February 19, the Lakers lost by 19 points again 84-103.

Cavaliers guard Trill Brandon wasn't much of an obvious player, but he shot 7-of-18 from the field and made 14 free throws to record an All-Star of 30 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals under Kobe's defense. And Teylon Hill, who was opposite Tony, also made a big splash, he shot 9 of 12 from the field, cut down the All-Star data of 24 points and 12 boards, and completely broke Tony's 10 points and 10 boards.

Teylon Hill has always been a qualified blue-collar player, and he has averaged 12.9 points and 9.8 rebounds per game so far this season, but such a player can get 20+10 stats on Tony's head, and Tony should be responsible for most of the team's loss.

Harris finally couldn't bear the back-to-back big losses at home, and he kept the whole team after the game and criticized it severely.

Harris highlighted Toney's sluggish performance, and in these two losses, Toney not only failed to complete the role of the team, but he was also blown up by the opposing team's blue-collar players on both offensive and defensive ends, which did not look like a team's leader player at all.

Tony is also very self-blaming in his heart, he also knows that his performance is very embarrassing, maybe he has not yet come out of the performance game of the All-Star Game, and for a while he also regarded the tension of the regular season game as an All-Star performance.

However, Tony quickly assured Harris that he would definitely get back in shape in the next game against the Grizzlies, which made Harris look more comfortable.

In fact, Kobe Bryant played poorly in these two games, but Harris didn't blame him too much, because he also knew that he didn't need to say that Kobe Bryant would throw himself into the gym and train hard next.

However, although Harris rebuked the Lakers players for their performance, it didn't seem to have much effect, and the tension of the Lakers team still didn't increase.

On February 21, the Lakers faced the Grizzlies, who had an 11-45 record so far this season, and they didn't play the strength that a playoff team should have.

Although Tony was a lot more active than the previous games, he also took the initiative to defend the Grizzlies' current ace player Sharif Abdul Rahim, but the effect was very unsatisfactory, under Tony's "strict defense", Raheem shot 11 of 23 in the whole game, and won 30 points and 11 boards.

But fortunately, Tony's form has also returned, he played a good performance of 25 points, 14 boards, 3 assists and 4 blocks, otherwise Tony, a rookie player who made it to the All-Star, would really become a joke.

Kobe Bryant still didn't play well in this game, his shooting touch seemed to be lost, and he scored 18 points on 7-of-23 shooting, but although he couldn't shoot, he also limited Anthony Grig, who was opposite him, to 10 points.

The pair battled until three minutes left in the fourth quarter, and Hawk made two three-pointers to stretch the Lakers' lead and help the team eventually beat the Grizzlies 99-91.

Harris's brows can be said to be normal and his brows have been wrinkled, it stands to reason that the strength of the Grizzlies and the Lakers are not at the same level at all, and the two sides can be entangled until the last moment, which can only say that the Lakers' state has not been recovered.

Fortunately, in the end, the team finally won the game, which made his frown relax slightly.

Either way, at least win.

It's just that it's so difficult to beat the Grizzlies, and the Lakers will face the Knicks next, and I don't know how much strength they can play?

......

Although there is only one day of rest, Harris did not let the players rest, not long after the All-Star Weekend, the physical reserves of these guys should not be a big problem, Harris's most important task now is to let the Lakers players get back in shape.

He gave everyone a fairly high-intensity training task in one day, and the best way to get back into shape in a short period of time was to train like crazy.

Harris divided the Lakers' players into two teams and then practiced their tactics non-stop throughout the day.

The players also know that they have not played very well in recent times, so even after a long day of training, they are not embarrassed to complain.

......

On February 23, the Lakers hosted the New York Knicks.

This is their second meeting this season, and Tony remembers very well that the first superstar he met was the legendary center of the Knicks, Patrick Ewing.

The Knicks have a 39-15 record this season under Ewing, and they are still ahead of the Lakers in terms of overall strength.

If the Lakers want to win, they really need Tony to step up and take responsibility on both ends of the floor.

Of course, it goes without saying that Tony himself understands that the last time he tried his best against Ewing he still lost, this time, after more than half a season, he will be very much looking forward to showing his growth in front of Ewing.

"Hello, Patrick, this is the second time you and the Lakers have played each other this season, the last time you won it was not easy, here at the home of Los Angeles, are you confident that you will lead the team to victory?"

"The Lakers have been really amazing this season, no one could have imagined that those two young lads would take the team to this level in their rookie season, and I remember vividly that the last time we played against them, the little guy named Tony scored 32 points, he was an incredible guy, but we came to Los Angeles to win."

In the pre-match interview, Ewing's answer was very gentlemanly.
