The Lakers challenged the Kings on the road, and they came back from a maximum of 15 points down to beat the Kings 111-91. The Lakers' record in the new season has become 8-1, sitting first in the West and first in the league!

In this game, the Lakers played poorly in the first quarter, trailing by 14 points and also trailing by 10 points at the end of the first half. However, in the end, he reversed and defeated his opponent. It was also the first time since February 2009 that the Lakers had trailed by 10+ points at halftime, and head coach Scott was the team's starter at the time.

This season's Lakers can be said to have brought surprises since the start of the season.

Scott brought the performance of this youth team to show everyone that it was not just Scott's luck that the Lakers entered the playoffs last season.

This season, the team, which is considered by many American media to be in the middle of the West, not only did not rank last, but won one after another against strong teams, including the Warriors, Hawks and Rockets.

Today's Lakers turned the tables against the Kings, and an important reason was that they played defense in the second half, allowing the opponent to score only 18 points in the third and fourth quarters, and finally won 111-91.

Now they are also being said by many media to be one of the favorites to win this season!

But everyone on the team knows there's still a long way to go! However, it is a sure thing to enter the playoffs, and the combination of Lei Lei and Howard can't make the playoffs? Joke!

Let's first look at the composition of the Western Conference team, although the first place in the Atlantic Division is the Lakers, the Warriors are still considered the Finals favorites, and the Clippers have always been considered the favorites, but they have been almost lucky in the past few years, but they are nine out of ten in the playoffs.

The Rockets are the first in the Southwest Division, although the Spurs have lost continuously at home, but the Spurs have always been considered a strong team, without Duncan but Bobo is still there, Parker Ginobili is still there, Leonard is also there, and there are stars such as David Lee, Gasol, Aldridge, etc., this team is also the Southwest champion respected by the American media. Although Harden and the Rockets are not favorites, they have a good record, losing five away games to the Cavaliers and Hawks, and have a good chance of making the playoffs.

In the Northwest Division, the Thunder once tied for first place with the Clippers, the Trail Blazers have always been a playoff team, and the lineup is similar to last season, so it should also occupy a spot, and the Jazz have paid off in recent years, getting Johnson and George Hill in the offseason, the combination of old and new, should not be underestimated.

In this way, the top eight in the west already account for seven. Let's remove a few teams that don't have a playoff phase for the time being if there are no big trades: Pelicans, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Suns, Nuggets, Kings. In fact, the two biggest opponents for the last playoff ticket are the Grizzlies and the Lakers.

And the Lakers have entered the playoffs last season, although they are stuck in the point, but they are also in.

This season's Lei Lei is more mature, there are still many players in the team who are playing in their prime, and there are also many potential rookies, playoff veterans, with the current situation of the Lakers, it is very certain to enter the playoffs!

It's just that this year's western fighting is a bit serious! Galactic Battleship Warriors, Clippers of the City of Empty Catches! Spurs with Popovich in! And the Spurs also have Leonard, a core player who integrates offense and defense, and if these four teams meet in the playoffs, they will definitely have a big battle!

Especially when the Lakers and the Warriors met, the Warriors eliminated the Lakers last season, Lei Lei's first playoff trip was directly asked by the Warriors to take a leave of absence to fish, with his character, he will not take revenge in the playoffs, and the highlights can also be said to be very full!

······

The winner is king, and in this alliance where the champions are fighting each other, changes of ownership always happen! It's not bad to join a team like Durant who defeated him for a championship, so the question is, will the Lakers, who defeated the Kings today, get Cousins?

In fact, there is no big change in the Kings this season, there is no talent player like Cousins Gayin, but he always loses in the battle in the West! They have only won 4 wins and 6 losses in 10 games this season, and it may be even more difficult to break through to the west! At this point, Cousins, who is constantly rumored, may really not be able to sit still, rather than wasting his peak in the Kings, it is better to find a better team!

This summer, the Lakers also frantically pursued Cousins, the Lakers and the Kings at that time were about the same strength, after not resigning Scott's head coach, now Lei Lei can still play a strong performance, Yi Jianlian and Nick Young have also completely exploded, the current Lakers have achieved 8 wins and 1 loss, if they keep this state, this year will usher in the first playoffs of the Lakers Kobe Bryant after his retirement!

After the game between the Kings and Lakers, Cousins rushed to Brown and got into a verbal altercation with him. After the game, the reporter interviewed Kaoshen and asked this question, Kaoshen explained: "It's just to express the love between us." My conflict with him is limited to the field, he is my little brother. ”

Los Angeles Lakers veteran Meta Waldpis posted a photo on her social media Instagram of the Los Angeles Lakers' rookie center Yoonvica Zubac in the game against the Sacramento Kings' DeMarcus Cousins.

Waldpis wrote on the side: "Zubac will be a top-5 center in the league in two years. ”

Some netizens then replied: "Tell head coach Scott to give this young man more playing time." ”

Zubac, the Croatian young center selected by the Lakers with the second pick in the second round of this year's draft, is averaging 3.0 points and 1.5 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per game this season. In the Lakers' away game against the Kings, Zubac came off the bench in place of the in-form Howard, playing 19 minutes, scoring six points and three rebounds on 3-of-3 shooting.

Cobby Carr, who is now the head coach of the NBA Development League's Los Angeles Defenders, spoke in an interview today about an interesting story about his father, George Carr.

"When I left the house today, he walked out with me. When I was younger, I accompanied him out to the court in the morning, and I gave him a suit. Now it's me who goes out, and he's got me the suit. Carl Jr. said.

Carl Sr. has coached 1,999 games in the NBA, with a 1,175-824 record.

It's worth mentioning that yesterday's game against the Iowa Energy was Carl Jr.'s first game as a manager, and his father was also in attendance.

The Pelicans will play the Lakers at home in today's game, and before the game, Pelicans coach Elvin Gentry gave the Lakers a high rating.

'They're playing really well at the moment and they're capable of doing that. The way Scott has reinvigorated Nick Young's fighting power is truly impressive. Gentry said.

Gentry said he has also been impressed by Leilei's progress this season, and he also spoke highly of Walton, who had previously worked together with the Warriors.

'He has a good feeling for the game, but more importantly, he feels that way for the people around him. Gentry said.

Gentry believes that Wharton must have given Scott a lot of advice in terms of what he knows as a person, and the Lakers' performance so far this season hasn't surprised him.
