After the game, the defeat did not affect Wharton's satisfaction with the team's performance, which he believes the team played well today.

Wharton: "It's great that the team's leading scorers can't hit those goals and the shooting percentage is so low, because it's been a long time since the team has played this high-intensity defense. We were able to play to the end today and have a chance to win the game because of our defence. ”

And on the news that Phil Jackson and Jenny Bass announced their breakup earlier today, Wharton said: "I love those two, it's sad news. ”

According to the reporter's interview: "Lei Lei was very frustrated when he was interviewed in the dressing room after the game. ”

He said to us: "He had a very bad hand in this game, which was the main reason for losing the game, and he didn't lose it every time he had a chance to kill, but today he made such a mistake and he felt like he had lost everything. ”

When Bryant learned about the article, he encouraged: "No one is born a winner, and you have a lot to do." ”

Jordan also said: "Little brother, it's not terrible to miss an opportunity, what is terrible is that you have been depressed after failure!" ”

On December 28, it was reported from ESPN's Ramonas Helburne that the Lakers had tried out Rockets veteran Motai Yunas before Christmas, but the team did not sign him immediately.

The Lakers are still evaluating whether Motai Yunas fits into their current roster, especially with Julius Randle and Tariq Blake already on the team. If Motaiyunas is brought in, it is not only about who he wants to be paired with, but also about the allocation of playing time.

On December 14 of this year, the Rockets officially waived Motai Yunas, which also made him a full free agent.

Since undergoing back surgery last year, Motel has averaged just 6.2 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in his next 37 games.

The Lakers are more worried that the addition of Motai will affect the rotation of frontcourt players, although Yi Jianlian is currently out due to injury, but Motai will still disperse some of Blake and Buss' playing time.

Motai has been an injury concern, but he has proven that he can be a qualified starter when healthy, starting 62 games for the Rockets two seasons ago, averaging 12 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Motel has a good long-range shot and can use his height to make subtle passes, two advantages that fit Wharton's requirements very well.

Earlier, the Nets offered Motel a contract, but the Rockets matched him, and the Rockets eventually chose to break up with Motel because the prize money could not be agreed, which made Motel a full free agent.

In yesterday's Lakers home game against the Jazz, the Jazz held on to the end and won the game.

After the game, Jazz player Hayward spoke to Lakers reporters about Lakers rookie Brown, saying, "I think he has a bright future ahead of him, he's going to make a difference in this league, he's very good defensively and moving." ”

In yesterday's game, Brown scored 5 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds on 2-of-5 shooting, although it was not a bright performance, but this season, Ingbro has shown people his talent and potential many times.

When the Lakers and Mavericks played,

Ross Barkley, the TNT commentator for the Lakers-Mavericks, commented during the game: "The Lakers don't have good players on this team. ”

Not long after, he added: "They have a lot of good young players, and the best one is Ray." ”

He was also afraid of kissing the donkey's buttocks, because Yao Ming had already let him kiss him once before, and he saw Lei Lei's performance in his eyes, so he didn't dare to provoke again.

The Lakers beat the Mavericks 105-101 at home today, and their record now stands at 23-11 and sits in fourth place in the West.

'I really thought we've turned things around a bit and I think we've made some good progress and we're very happy to see us change the result this time.' Lakers coach Luke Wharton said after the game.

"We're going to be fine, but the question now is when we're going to get better, we've shown that we can beat anybody in the league, we're capable, and it's ultimately a matter of our personal will," Wharton continued. ”

"It feels like we're making them play very comfortably and all of them have found their touch." Wharton said.

"We're in a frustrating situation right now, and I was hoping we could learn from our past mistakes, and it's frustrating for something like this to happen again," Wharton said. ”

"Our performance in the second half today was certainly not the kind of performance I wanted the team to play, but luckily Lei Lei took over the game at a crucial moment, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable." Wharton said.

After the game, Lakers shooting guard Lei Lei said in an interview: "The recent situation has become very embarrassing for us. We'll figure it out, we have to. ”

Nick Young said: "We had a lot of distractions in the second half and it was tough for us. We didn't look at people when we passed the ball, we had a lot of singles and it didn't work. If we continue to play like this, we're just going to be another team that supports the next loss, so we have to find a way to solve the problem, otherwise we're just going to be a submissive Lakers again, but luckily the big man on the team stepped up and made me feel like I was back to last season, and I don't want to be a burden to him now, I want to share the pressure with him. ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Since last weekend's Christmas game, Curry has not had a very good time, and after losing the game, Kerr publicly criticized Curry for not being smart enough in handling the ball and being too casual in handling key shots.

However, Curry thinks that this is not the case, he is not a vegetarian, after the Christmas game, Curry has repeatedly publicly bombarded the Warriors' tactical system and indirectly dissatisfied with teammate Durant, it can be said that the current Warriors team and coach are really contradictory, and it seems that the audience has seen the pace of disintegration.

As a former Warriors coach, Walton has his own unique opinion, and he believes that the current Warriors are no longer the united Warriors team they used to be. Obviously, the core player Curry has suffered unfair treatment, and Wharton has also clearly thrown an olive branch, as long as Curry himself is willing, he is very happy to join forces with Curry again to create a super offensive system belonging to Curry and Lei Lei, and this time it is not the first time that Wharton has thrown an olive.

Next season is Curry's contract year, and it is difficult for the Warriors to offer Curry a contract with a maximum salary when they already have Durant, and after Durant's arrival, the Curry Warriors will not have the kind of unity and tacit understanding they had back then. Therefore, there is a good chance that Curry will join the Lakers and work with former coach Walton, and the Lakers also have enough salary waiting for him.
