In the absence of Denon for the Mavericks, although Nick Young played bravely to help his team take the lead, the Mavericks quickly equalized the score and took the lead. After the Lakers trailed by 9 points in the fourth quarter to overtake the score, they failed to continue the offense and were taken away by the Mavericks in waves. In the end, the Lakers lost to the Mavericks 97-109 at home, and missed an eight-game winning streak.

The Lakers faced the Mavericks who were not in good shape at home, and they thought that the Lakers, who had been in hot form recently, could continue to beat the Mavericks with home court advantage, but in the face of the unbreakable joint defense and inaccuracy at the critical moment of the game, the Lakers lost to the Mavericks 97-109 to break the undefeated golden body at home.

After the game, Lakers head coach Scott and some players also gave their opinions.

"The team played a little bit weak in the first half, and when the opposition used the combination, we didn't move the ball well and the opponent scored 20 points through our turnover," Scott said. At the same time, Scott also praised Yi Jianlian and Caruso for "doing a great job and always contributing some blue-collar strength to the players." ”

Lei Lei: "Our team has a killer instinct, but the result tonight was not what we imagined, and all of this was because of my poor form that caused the team to lose the game, and the responsibility for losing this game is on me. ”

Brown: "Murray's absence has left us with a lot of energy and excitement in the team. ”

Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle was praising the Lakers' progress before today's game when the Lakers' Meta Waldpease interrupted Carlisle's interview and told reporters to "respect the genius." ”

"I don't want to see you tonight." Carlisle joked to Ci Shiping.

Carlisle said that every six to eight weeks, Tzu would text him asking about coaching, and Carlisle joked: "When we all leave here, he'll be here too." ”

The new season is his 17th season in the NBA, and Carlisle said: "He just keeps telling me that he's in really good shape and he's very happy, and he can't give it up and you have to respect that." ”

According to previous reports, if the Lakers finally cut Ci Shiping, the latter may become an assistant coach of the Lakers in the new season and continue to escort Lei Lei and other young players!

'He has the opportunity to be a very good coach because he is very passionate about the game and knows the game very well. Carlisle said.

Tzu said that when he was still playing for the Pacers, Carlisle often told him that he could be a good coach, and Tzu said that he often asked Carlisle about some of his tactics, but did not discuss them in depth.

"We're going to have a meeting and we'll see what happens," Carlisle said, "and at the same time, there's a reason the Lakers keep him, and he's setting an example for the players." ”

At present, Kobe Bryant has arrived in Shenzhen, and the photo with Beckham, who was also invited, and the host Ma Yun was jokingly called "the three most important men in a woman's life": husband, male god and father.

Kobe Bryant, who announced his retirement this summer, recently traveled to China to participate in a series of events. Last night, he also attended the rehearsal scene of the Tmall Double 11 party with Beckham, Ma Yun and others.

Tonight, Kobe Bryant will also attend the Tmall Double 11 party. In addition to him, there were also superstars such as singer Coco Li, Sister Fruit, and pop music group Onerepublic attended the party.

Kobe Bryant + Beckham + Jack Ma also formed a rich and handsome lineup in the true sense.

After the Lakers lost the game

Lakers officials updated their social media with a video of the team training the next day.

What is different from the past is that the protagonist of this video is not the young and talented players such as Lei Lei, Brown, and Clarkson, but the 36-year-old assistant coach of the team, Luke Wharton!

Of course, from a coach's point of view, 36 is still very young.

Even if it's training within the team, it's full of confrontation.

As a player, Wharton contributed 9.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists per 36 minutes in his 564 regular season games.

After yesterday's home game, the Lakers will have a three-game road trip, and one thing they all have in common is that they all have an All-Star-caliber big man on their team: Cousins of the Kings, Anthony Davis of the Pelicans and Carl Towns of the Timberwolves.

In order for the team to be fully prepared, at the end of today's team training, Scott sent Wharton to personally go into the field and have one-on-one training with the big men in the team.

"Coach Wharton came over and he said he was going to defend the big guys himself, and it was a lot of fun for us to challenge each other but have fun training," Lei said. ”

On November 10, local time, the Lakers will start the first leg of the three-game road streak against the Kings.

Previously, in the Lakers' home game against the Suns, Murray suffered a hard blow to the head in a steal, and was later diagnosed with a concussion and missed the team's game against the Mavericks yesterday.

Murray has traveled to Sacramento with the team for tomorrow's game, but the team has classified his fitness as doubtful, and his availability will have to wait for the team's doctor's approval.

Kobe Bryant officially retired this summer, and the Lakers officially entered the post-Kobe era in the new season. Unlike previous seasons, the Lakers started the season with surprisingly exciting results, and the Lakers in the post-Kobe era are moving in the right direction.

As a member of last season's team, Lei Lei admitted that the team was indeed different without Kobe. In an interview with USAtoday's Alyshatsuji, he said, "We're already moving forward, and it's like if you break up with your girlfriend and it feels a little weird not to have them around." But now the focus is on us, we have our own room to grow, we're creating something new. ”

Lei Lei said that the Kobe generation has turned the page, and the next is the era of Lei Lei, and he said that he will definitely prove himself again in the game with the King, the last game was just a mistake, after all, everyone has a bad performance or physical discomfort.

The Lakers have a 7-1 record so far. The Lakers' achievements this season are very eye-catching, but they are enough to attract everyone's attention, and everyone is slowly realizing that this season's Lakers team is completely different from previous seasons.

And this is thanks to the Lakers' unchanged coach, Lei Lei's mentor, Byron Scott!

Before the game against the Kings, Scott was asked if the team had thought about the playoffs, and he replied: "We didn't think about the playoffs at all, we just focused on what's in front of us, focused on each game, and looked at what we've improved in every five games, and what we're doing in the same place, trying to keep the team at a certain level, which is what we're doing." ”
