The Lakers won the first game after Kobe's absence at home, which made fans have excessive expectations for the team. They really thought that the current Lakers could maintain their results by relying on Ke Yan's tactics and the existing lineup.

.

The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. In back-to-back away games against the Sacramento Kings, the Lakers were unable to withstand the Kings' offense.

The conflict between Chris Webber and Peja has been very deep. The two people did not even communicate during the game, but the Kings point guard Bibby took on more organizational and series tasks, balancing the two people on the court.

Quan, the Kings also have Mobley, Brad Miller, and Bobby Jackson. Their financial strength is still very strong.

On the other hand, the Lakers' outside players have a bad shooting touch. Butler has an obvious advantage against Peja and should have dealt a certain blow to the opponent on the offensive end. However, the Kings' timely double-teaming exposed Butler's one-sided playing problem. Either

Against the strong defense of two people, without Kobe's life, with Kobe's illness! Or distributing the ball without any rules, it is easy for the Kings' help defense rotation to be in place.

Foolish! This word is perfect to describe Butler!

The offense was blocked and the defense was broken. The Lakers were always behind by double digits from the beginning of the second quarter, and finally lost to the Kings 87:104, once again missing out on three consecutive victories! (27-15).

"Never, the flag you gave me is really a curse!" Back at the hotel, Ke Yan dialed Wang Lifan's number and complained.

Ever since Wang Lifan said, "Three consecutive wins will bring rewards," Ke Yan has not won three consecutive games until now!

"Ke Yan, you have tricked me so badly!" Before Wang Lifan could speak, Tian Fuzhen's voice suddenly came out, full of resentment.

"Hebe? Why did I trick you?" Ke Yan was a little surprised that the two of them were still together so late, but is it normal for best friends to sleep in the same bedroom?

"The video of you touching Hebe's head the day before yesterday went viral in Baodao, and there are rumors there that you two are dating!" Wang Lifan said cheerfully, but as a boyfriend, he didn't mean to be angry at all.

"When did I touch Hebe's head?" Ke Yan himself didn't even remember.

"There are pictures on the Internet! There is the truth!" Hebe said through gritted teeth. This is her first scandal since her debut!

Ke Yan immediately turned on the computer and typed in his and Hebe's names, and sure enough, a lot of news and videos with pictures popped up.

"Ke Yan and Tian Fuzhen staged an intimate head-touching murder, suspected love affair exposed"

"Strait Couple! Hebe is secretly in love with Ke Yan and goes to Los Angeles to support her lover"

"The cutest height difference! On the interaction between a talented young handsome man and a teenage idol"

This title made Ke Yan a little confused. Although he is not an artist and doesn't care about popularity, the facts must be clarified. He can't be photographed with Wang Lifan in the future. Others will think he cheated, right?

"You should be able to clarify this matter, right?" Ke Yan's tone faltered, because it really caused trouble for the other party.

"That's not it? Why don't you fly to Treasure Island to explain?" Hebe said angrily.

His first time, his first time, he gave it to a basketball coach! Hebe felt so bad!

Wang Lifan comforted Hebe easily, and Ke Yan repeatedly apologized for his "discourteous" behavior, finally appeasing Hebe.

After a day off, the Lakers returned home and welcomed the visiting New Jersey Nets.

Meeting for the second time this season, the Nets are no longer what they used to be.

At the beginning of the season, due to the poaching of Kenyon Martin by the Nuggets, the Nets' internal strength declined significantly, and their record in the first half of the season was basically aimed at competing for the top pick.

However, a trade gave the Nets a new lease of life. The team traded Mourning, Aaron Williams and Eric Williams as well as two first-round picks to acquire Vince Carter from the Raptors.

Directly forming the strongest outside trident in the league.

Carter's joining solved the Nets' dilemma of no one scoring to the greatest extent, and finally escaped from the Raptors' predicament. After joining the Nets, Carter performed at an MVP level, averaging 27.6 points per game and 6.7 points per game.

rebounds, 4.2 assists, slashing and killing all the way, helping the Nets sprint towards the playoffs.

After Carter joined, the team also posted a record of 9 wins and 3 losses, helping the Nets catch up from 13th in the Eastern Conference to 10th in the Eastern Conference. If they continue to maintain this winning rate, the playoffs are really not out of reach.<

/p>

The two teams met for the first time in the season. The Lakers took advantage of the Nets, which was full of injured soldiers and had an incomplete lineup, and easily defeated their opponents. God has reincarnation. This time, the Nets took back their benefits and faced off against the lack of Kobe and Kobe Bryant.

Anderson's Lakers.

Ke Yan strengthens the rotation to give the substitutes more opportunities to perform, hoping that they can play their role through running and gunning and pressing the whole court to score.

Unfortunately, both Walton and Barnes are not in good shooting form and frequently hit the iron; Cook can only shoot open three-pointers. Without anyone to open up the space for him, it is difficult to achieve anything.

For the Nets, Carter and Jefferson scored 56 points together with Kidd, crushing the Lakers' wings and helping the team lead by 19 points in the first three quarters.

In the final quarter of the game, Ke Yan made a desperate move and once again used a large and four small lineup to attack. The fast-paced offense and defense were just what Kidd wanted. However, the Lakers made three consecutive three-pointers from House, Butler, and Odom.

The ball once narrowed the point difference to 11 points.

At the critical moment, it was Kidd who stood up. First, he beat Atkins in the low post, causing the latter to foul. Then he received Carter's pass from the outside and hit a three-pointer! It directly ended the suspense of the game.

88:102, the Lakers lost at home and suffered two consecutive losses (27-16)

After suffering two consecutive losses, the Lakers' record was also caught up by the Rockets behind them, and their fifth position in the Western Conference was in jeopardy.

After Kobe Bryant was injured, Ke Yan fell into the embarrassment of having no one available. In these games, he either put Butler at the shooting guard position, or used the double 180 backcourt combination of Atkins and Eddie House.

It was a difficult time. After the game against the Nets, Ke Yan found Kupchak again and asked him to help strengthen his lineup.

"Mitch, I think we really need to adjust the team's lineup before it's too late. We really don't have a suitable substitute at the second position." Ke Yan said to Kupchak.

The team's only substitute at the shooting guard position is Vujacic, and his defense is equivalent to nothing. Even if Ke Yan focuses on offense and neglects defense, he dare not use him.

"OK, dear, if you have a suitable candidate, I am still willing to try my best to satisfy you. The premise is that the team's core players and future first-round picks will not be affected." Kupchak's tone softened slightly.

Does this mean that second-round picks can be included in the deal?

"Thank you!" Ke Yan cursed in his heart.

There are several players in the team, such as Walton, Mihm, Terry Brown, and Ke Yan who really don't like to use them. If they stay in the team, their value will be devalued. It is better to give them away while they still have trading value. The people Ke Yan wants,

Most of them can come in handy and even bring some surprises, which is why Kupchak is willing to support him in making some fine-tuning.

"DeShawn Stevenson of the Magic, Kevin Martin of the Kings, Delfino of the Pistons, you try to talk to them, I don't think the transaction is very difficult." Ke Yan gave three names,

The requirements have been set very low.

Among these three people, only Stevenson is the main rotation player in the Magic. Kevin Martin and Delfino are the water coolers in their respective teams. Although they are all in the rookie contract period, the Lakers can also get it.

Wouldn't Walton, who is on his rookie contract, be traded?

"It's the Kings again~ Kimi, if you were coaching the Kings, I really can't imagine~" Kupchak joked.

Barnes, Webber, Kevin Martin, and Ke Yan are really used to staring at the Kings for money!

"Thank you for the reminder. Maybe one day you will actually see me in the capital of California~" Ke Yan shrugged and accepted the joke.

"Let me contact you. I should be able to get at least one." Kupchak habitually placed a satellite for Ke Yan.

"..." Ke Yan rolled his eyes for who knows how many times!
