Chapter 229: Two consecutive away wins

Whether it's because of his ever-optimistic smile or his willingness to give his young players plenty of playing time, Lakers head coach Scott has captured the hearts of all players.

Among the many fans, perhaps Karakson is the one he is most willing to follow. This season, Scott moved Clarkson to the starting line-up and was not on the team's bench, and he was happy to accept the coach's arrangement.

Recently, he said in an interview with Etyregister's reporter Billoram: "If the coach needs me to play center, I will not hesitate to play for him. “

Whether Clarkson plays center, Nick Young takes all the shots, or Lei Lei plays point guard, as long as the team is on the road to winning, the players are willing to follow Scott until the end of the world.

The Lakers will embark on a five-day, four-game road trip, which will be a big test for the Lakers.

Time flies! Last year, today Kobe Bryant announced his decision to retire.

In fact, it feels like time has not passed for a long time, and I haven't deliberately remembered any days, but a whole year has passed since Kobe Bryant's decision to retire.

Bryant issued a retirement letter in the star stands, announcing that he was retiring after the 2015-2016 season. Five months after announcing his retirement, on April 14, 2015, Kobe Bryant completed the last game of his career and officially retired from the NBA stage.

The Lakers are on the right path, and your former little brother Lei Lei is leading them forward, so enjoy the retirement life.

The Lakers' game on the road against the Pelicans is underway, but bad news is coming from the court.

At the start of the game, Nick Young injured his right foot on a landing and was immediately carried into the dressing room by two team-mates. At present, the official news of the Lakers is that Nick Young has a right Achilles tendon strain and will not play again in tonight's game.

The team will conduct an MRI of Nick Young's injury when he arrives in Chicago tomorrow.

The Lakers embarked on a five-day, four-game road trip, but the game was unfavorable, Nick Young suffered a right Achilles tendon strain at the beginning of the game and could not play again, and the Lakers finally won the opening game with a score of 115-105, and the team will play back-to-back against the Bulls tomorrow.

After the game, head coach Scott briefly commented on the game: "Without Nick Young, the team has to be more creative in the use of the No. 2 position if we want to keep the bench intact. Sometimes there are games, like today, where we have to have more will and desire to defend. Anthony Davis is a fantastic player who doesn't seem to have any weaknesses on the pitch. ”

Compared with the result of the game, everyone is obviously more concerned about Nick Young's injury. Nick Young has been preliminarily diagnosed with a strained right Achilles tendon, but the exact circumstances will not be determined until an MRI test is done tomorrow when the team arrives in Chicago. After the game, Nick Young was able to move around the dressing room normally, and Scott said he has not been officially ruled out of the squad for tomorrow's game. One reporter said Nick Young insisted on telling him he was okay, but the reporter said that Bynum had told him the same thing about his knee injury before, and that the player could not judge his injury very accurately.

Clarkson's assessment of Nick Young's injury was the most interesting, saying: "I don't even know if Nick is cheating, I don't know if he is really injured." Everything was dramatic with him, and it looked like he was hurting quite badly, but I really don't know. ”

Time November 30, the official report of the Lakers. According to Nick Young's previous MRI in Chicago, he has strained his right calf muscle and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks.

The team's away game against the Bulls is about to begin, and the Bulls are on the court in this matchup, including Wade, who was rested in the last game against the Lakers. Before the game, Wharton also said that Nick Young's absence had a very big impact on the team. "I've had a lot of games this season where I've had Nick Young defend one of the best players on the team, and his absence has certainly had a huge impact on the team," Wharton said. ”

The Lakers have back-to-back away games against the Bulls, and Nick Young has also been identified today with a calf muscle strain that will require a 2-4 week of rest. Back-to-back games combined with injury troubles, the Lakers had as many as 9 turnovers in the first quarter, trailing the Bulls by 11 points.

However, this season's Lakers will not give up until the final whistle, and they continue to perform hard after coming off the bench to help the team tighten the score and achieve a comeback in the fourth quarter. In the end, the Lakers reversed the Bulls 100-96.

The Lakers beat the Bulls, who are third in the East, to improve their record to 16-4 and temporarily sit in second place in the West.

Lei Lei performed very well in this game, playing 31 minutes, scoring 35 points on 13-of-20 shooting, but grabbed 15 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals. 15 rebounds is also his new career record.

After the game, head coach Scott praised Lei Lei's performance in this game, "He performed fantastic, I am proud of him. The last time we played against the Bulls, Gibson hurt us a lot and we wanted to have a taller player defend him. But Lei Lei wants to play against Gibson, and we have to give him a chance. I like how reliable he is, not just in words, but in deeds. He grabbed 15 rebounds and was very impressed. ”

So far this season, Randle has averaged 30.3 minutes per game, scoring 35.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 3.5 steals and 2.5 blocks, shooting 53.8% from the field.

Speaking after the game, Scott said the team's defensive performance was the best of the season so far and said: "Our players have shown that even when we are cornered, we can stand up and face the challenge. ”

"It's a good test and proof of how hard we work," Blake said. ”

It is also worth mentioning that the Lakers' record after this game is 16-4, which continues to maintain above 50%. According to the data, of the 16 wins won by the Lakers, only 8 were favored, and the remaining 8 were not favored.

Lei Lei was interrupted by Howard while interviewing reporters on the sidelines, and Howard shouted: "15 rebounds!" Superstar! ”

Ci Shiping: "He is a little different from others in his position, and we are happy to see Lei Lei like this every day." ”

And what does Lei Lei say about himself? In an interview with reporters on the sidelines, he said: "We did our best on the court, and together we made the Bulls score just over 90 points. I had a good shot tonight, so I need to work on other areas as well, a lot of free throws and all sorts of simple layups that I can throw, so I hope to help the team on the defensive end as well. ”
