After this game, they will face the Eagles back-to-back.

It was a stress-free match.

Howard didn't join the Eagles, and their combat power was arguably not worth mentioning, only Millsap was struggling.

The Lakers played the Hawks at home, and there was a special theme for this game, which was the night of "Cheek Hearn". Because of the 100th anniversary of the birth of today's Lakers legend commentator Cheek Hearn.

Loftus-Cheek Hearn is a legendary commentator for the Lakers and is known as the "Voice of the Lakers." He served as a Lakers commentator from 1960 to 2002 until his death in 2002.

Bryant "returns" to the Staples Center to honor Hearn.

Hearn has witnessed the ups and downs of the Lakers for so many years, and naturally witnessed most of Kobe's career, and on this special day, in the video that the team prepared for Hearn, Bryant appeared to pay tribute to this old friend.

In the video, Bryant praised Hearn's classic and humorous commentary, and recalled a time when he was still wearing the number 8 jersey, and once Chick came to the locker room to see him after suffering an ankle injury against the Spurs.

Today's victory is the best tribute to Hearn.

We're getting better and better, hopefully you can know.

The Lakers hosted the Hawks, who defeated the Hawks 115-100.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, the Lakers' two starters, Clarkson and Yi Jianlian, missed the game due to rotation rest.

However, the Lakers still played a balanced offensive firepower. Of the 11 players on the court, eight scored at least seven points and four scored in double figures. The bench players scored a total of 50 points, and the starters scored a total of 65 points.

Currently, the Lakers have a 14-4 record and are temporarily ranked third in the Western Conference.

Second only to the Clippers and Thunder.

Speaking after the game, Scott also spoke highly of the bench that played well today, saying: "Our second team defended really well tonight, they defended the best this season and they have developed good chemistry with each other, so even though we had two players in the starting line-up not available, I didn't want to break the second team. ”

Scott is clearly pleased with the team's current 14-4 record, saying: "The hard work and competition of the players is not something that can be fully reflected in the stats on the court, we have to keep it up. ”

On the excellent performance of the bench line-up, Lu Wei said: "We just played together, I think each of us doesn't care about personal data and accolades, none of us on the pitch is selfish. ”

It is worth mentioning that 13 of Williams' 21 points came in the fourth quarter. So far this season, Lowe has scored a total of 137 points in the fourth quarter, second only to Westbrook of the Thunder, Lillard of the Trail Blazers and Lei Lei of the Trail Blazers.

Lowe is averaging 23.4 minutes per game this season, scoring 14.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists while shooting 41.0 percent from three-point range. If this performance continues, Lowe is likely to win the Sixth Man of the Year again this season.

Report from Los Angeles:

In fact, in the preseason, Byron Scott, who continued to serve as the head coach of the Lakers, and his coaching staff had already discovered - although at that time they were still scratching their ears and cheeks about "how to arrange our team's lineup", and they were still looking for the most suitable lineup combination at that time - at that time, the coaching staff had already seen some special "signs".

That is, when they continued to experiment with various lineup combinations, they found that Lei Lei's second team led the Lakers always played very well together, and the "arsenal" of the players in the second team was so perfect with each other, and the chemistry between them was always so good, and it seemed that whenever this second team came on, it could always bring unexpected joy to the Lakers.

'We knew then that our bench was going to be very special. After today's game, Coach Scott recalled his thoughts.

So, as Scott and his coaching staff continue to experiment and strengthen their starting lineup, they are always careful not to break up their second team, not wanting to ruin the second team combination that "can clearly become very different".

Then, the regular season began, and injuries naturally continued to occur on various teams, and the Lakers were no exception. However, Scott still adheres to an iron bottom line, that is, he will never bring those who look very capable benches into the lineup, because in his opinion, the Lakers' bench is almost their best weapon - and the key to such a surprising start to the season compared to last season - so maintaining the relative stability of this lineup is almost one of the most important things.

In recent days, Scott has been asked questions like, "Why don't you put the best and most efficient substitutes in the starting lineup", but the coach refuses to give in to such doubts.

In today's game, Tarikblack came off the bench and grabbed nine rebounds, and standing across from him was an All-Star forward like Millsap.

In today's game, Scott's principles seemed to be quite challenged. Because in the game against the Hawks, the Lakers' two starters, Clarkson and Yi Jianlian, were both absent due to rotation, but Scott, as always, adhered to the bottom line of "not easily disrupting the core of his second team".

And this second team also gave the coach the biggest reward - they came on the court, not only smoothed the double-digit hole that the team was behind at the beginning of the game, but also helped the team defeat the visiting Atlanta Hawks 115-100 and won a convincing victory.

The Lakers bench averaged 51.2 points per game before today's game, the best in the league.

Backup guard Lou Williams was the highest scorer off the bench, scoring 21 points.

"The tacit understanding and chemistry of the team always rely on 'running in together', and a team like theirs has such a tacit understanding and chemical reaction." "Since the start of the season, they've been one of the best fives in the league — and when you count the starting five and the bench five, they're also one of the best five," Scott said. We feel that when a team like them is on the floor, we have an advantage against the opposition, which is why we do everything we can to make sure that there is a similar rotation to get them used to when they will be substituted and when they will be substituted. ”
