There was no pressure in this match, and Jimmy Butler was hard to beat with two punches and four hands.

In the end, the Lakers won the first road win of the Devils' schedule by 115-105.

For the Bulls, Jimmy Butler had 40 points, seven rebounds and six assists.

After this game, the Lakers have an 11-3 record, and the rest of the schedule is still very difficult.

After the game, both the coach and the players gave their opinions on the game.

Scott: "The team has to either limit Butler or all the other players in this game to have a chance to win. But we all did it, so we won the game. The team didn't get into trouble and didn't give the Bulls a head start. ”

Lei Lei: "Today I was very careful to protect my ankle, I think it's better to play with a little injury than to sit on the bench and do nothing, I think my ankle is much better, but you still need to pay attention. ”

Brown: "There's not a lot of regression, we just have to play the same defensive attitude as we used to. ”

According to local media sources in Los Angeles, Lakers' main guard Lei Lei missed the Lakers' training today, and the specific reason should be an ankle problem, so he may miss tomorrow's game against the Thunder.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Lakers' celebrity, traveled to the White House today to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

When Omar gave an important speech for Abdul-Jabbar, there was also a very interesting scene.

Omar made a move that was ready to hit Abdul-Jabbar with the ball on his back, and Abdul-Jabbar habitually reacted defensively.

This year, there are 21 people who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, they are from their respective fields of society, in addition to Abdul-Jabbar and Jordan in the NBA, as well as the former richest man in the world, Bill Gates and his wife, Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Robert De Niro, talk show host Allen, etc.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is a medal awarded by the President of the United States to civilians who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of science, culture, sports, and social activities.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom was first created by President Harry S. Truman in 1945 to recognize civilians who had made outstanding contributions in World War II, and in 1963 President Kennedy reintroduced the award to give it to civilians who had made outstanding contributions in peacetime.

Today, the Los Angeles Clippers also have a proud record of leading the league, but in the local sports market in Los Angeles, it is still the Los Angeles Lakers who dominate.

The Los Angeles Clippers are now the team with the best record in the NBA league, but, it seems, here in Los Angeles, no one cares, people care more about the Lakers who have a better record than them!

Of course, the Clippers' impressive record of consistently knocking out the league's top teams and incidentally finishing the bottom team has impressed the entire league. They also have the highest point difference in points per game in the league — 13.3 points per game. Today, the Clippers have a 13-2 record and lead the NBA in winning percentage.

However, after yesterday's practice, when the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Scott, looked around, he still asked the question: Why are so many cameras and media reporters crowding around the El Segundo Lakers' training gym just to watch an ordinary Lakers training session? Coach Scott teased to the reporters around him, "Did I miss any big news?" ”。 In fact, no. The Lakers lost last Saturday and now have a winning percentage of 5 percent. But the local Los Angeles and media from around the world are still crowding here to report on one of the biggest "brands" in the basketball world.

This is the second time in three years that the Lakers are not at the bottom of the Western Conference, and it is clear that this matter is even more concerning than "the Clippers lead the league". Of course, the Lakers have their own appealing reasons: that their youth team under the leadership of their young, charismatic rookie leader has the potential to shock the world by making the playoffs.

If you only think that the Lakers have only "exceeded expectations" so far this season, you are very wrong. You know, the Lakers have won 11 regular-season games so far this season.

To put it simply, the Lakers' ball is once again "very good-looking".

Lei Lei's various dunks flying above the basket are very good-looking; Howard's block is good-looking; Clarkson's three-pointers were good-looking; Lue Williams looks good on the pitch as a bench bandit; Nick Young's lead on the fast break looks good; Brown's constant growth is beautiful. And, perhaps the most surprising, that is, even Nick Young defends!

It's also so pretty. So, even when the Lakers lose, the game will still be nice to watch and interesting.

The Los Angeles Clippers' record of "consecutive home seat sold" has stood for several seasons, but they are still a long way from "Los Angeles' favorite team" or "NBA favorite team". Jordan Jr.'s "team change" two years ago, Griffin's punching of the former equipment manager, and Chris Paul's fake fall attributes and his obnoxious aggressive personality have almost made the Los Angeles Clippers a public enemy of the entire league — even more hated than the Warriors with Durant.

Conversely, the Los Angeles Lakers failed to sell out tickets for the Staples Center in their last game against the Brooklyn Nets, but that hasn't dampened the media attention on the team. Reporters from all over the country flocked to the Lakers' training gym, thinking of being able to report first-hand how the Lakers became one of the best legends in basketball; When I leave the arena, I always say that the Lakers' game is so much fun.

The Clippers don't lose very often. They have won nine of their last 10 games and are a strong contender for the title this season; On the other hand, the Lakers' hopes are the same as the Clippers' to give their young players a feel for the playoffs. On the surface, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers are indeed in the same league, in the same city, and even call the same arena their home court, but they never see each other as rivals.

This year, Griffin is 27, Paul is 31, and Jordan Jr. is 28. The Clippers need to win a championship this season and at least reach the Western Conference Finals, otherwise this season will mean defeat.

On the other hand, Lei Lei is 19 years old, Brown is 19 years old, and Murray is 19 years old.

In terms of on-court experience, the current young Lakers are basically 10 years behind the Clippers. So, every game the Lakers win is like a Christmas present for the fans.

Therefore, if the Lakers' win rate can reach 50% at the end of the season, they will receive extremely high praise, and maybe they can also get 2 awards from the league or something.

And they think that Lei Lei's growth rate will definitely snipe the Clippers, who are also Los Angeles teams, in the playoffs!
