With 103 points in three quarters, the Lakers went crazy in the third quarter, widening the point difference to more than 20 points, and sending the game into garbage time. Apex novels update fastest

Liu Ren played the entire quarter in the third quarter. He turned out to be an excellent setter and directly sent assists. At the same time, he did a good job in rebounding. He scored 7 points and 7 assists in a single quarter, plus 11 points, plus 12 in the first half. Score 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and get a triple-double in the economic version!

With 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, Liu Ren won a triple-double for the second time this season!

Compared with the triple-double monsters like James and Westbrook, Liu Ren's triple-doubles are really too few, at most one or two a year, and it is only in the past two years that he has the strength to get triple-doubles, and the total number is particularly small. , So D'Antoni also waited for Liu Ren to get a triple-double before replacing him.

The economic version of the triple-double was reached, and the Lakers led the Clippers by 24 points, so Liu Ren clocked out.

Rivers didn't say anything about the rotation of his mistake in the third quarter. Instead, because he was about to lose anyway, he continued to let his son count on the court in the fourth quarter.

Sometimes my father loves something like this...

But the Clippers players are actually used to it. Why did Jordan Jr. rebound so well these two years? Little Rivers’ help is indispensable. After Rivers was traded back in the middle of last season, Jordan has become a rebounding favorite...

In the last quarter, the Lakers were replaced by pure substitutes. LaVine took Nick Young, Nance, Blake, and Bi Yongbo on the court. Although the organization was a bit miserable, it was almost the same as Rivers. The two teams finally One quarter is a match.

In the end, the Lakers easily won the game 131 to 110.

Liu Ren was still a little bit reluctant to play this game. He was able to play the Clippers "away" at Staples Center. The chances are getting less and less, and one game will be lost.

Sometimes, it's lonely to lose an opponent who wants to steal the limelight all day long.

However, the game was won, and the January game was over. The Lakers also won their 40th win this season, with a record of 40 wins and 8 losses. Overall, it is gratifying!

Six more games will be All-Star Weekend.

The next six games are back-to-back at home, and then four consecutive away games with strong and weak opponents. The next is a luxurious ten-day holiday that is equivalent to a holiday for most of the Lakers!

On February 2 and 3, the Lakers welcomed the Hornets and Grizzlies at home. Both teams have certain strengths in the east and west. Both teams are playoff teams. The Hornets have Jeremy Lin and Ken. Bar Walker, McGigi, Batum, Al Jefferson, Courtney Lee and others have also stirred up a wave of storms in the east, and they are ranked as the most convincing alongside the 76ers and Celtics. The unexpected rise of the team has become a representative of the emerging forces in the East.

The Grizzlies’ black and white bears are still strong, especially Conley and Gasol. The two are forcibly supporting the aging Grizzlies. It is rumored that the Grizzlies owner is discussing with the two to renew their contract. , It's just that the two of them didn't agree for the time being.

These two teams are strong, but they are far behind the Lakers in good form. With Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo and Kobe in truce, the Lakers still won the two games easily. , Got 3 consecutive victories and improved the record to 42 wins and 8 losses.

Winning streaks make people happy, winning, of course happy, the morale of the Lakers players is very high now.

Then just as they were about to start their road trip because of the Grammys, the All-Star starting list was announced!

Liu Ren won the All-Star vote with more than 5.93 million votes, which set a record in NBA history! Selected as an All-Star starter for the third consecutive year!

Kobe Bryant has 5.27 million votes, becoming the player with the second most votes in a single year in all-star voting.

James also broke 5 million votes, ranking first in the East with 5.15 million votes.

When the All-Star vote was announced, the fans were a bit regretful. Liu Ren was only tens of thousands of votes short of 6 million, and Curry, who had 4.86 million votes, was also a bit regretful, almost breaking 5 million votes. After all, the star of the western backcourt. There are still a lot of votes. Harden, Klay Thompson, Paul and others have all divided a lot of votes.

The All-Star, which is about to begin in one week, is coming out on the starting list. The Eastern All-Star starting lineup is led by James, and the other four are frontcourt Anthony and Paul George. The strength and popularity of the two are also among the Eastern frontcourt players. As far as James can stabilize them, Wade and Isaiah Thomas in the backcourt are also the popular kings in their respective positions in the east.

In the Western Conference All-Star start, Liu Ren led the frontcourt. Whiteside ranked second in the Western Conference frontcourt. Gasol came from behind. In the final moments, it contrasted Griffin and beat Anthony Davis and Thackeray. The Western Conference The All-Star starting frontcourt was taken over by the Lakers!

The backcourt is dominated by Curry, the most popular point guard in the league, and Kobe, the most popular shooting guard. It is estimated that as long as Curry and Kobe are still playing in the league at the same time, the other players in the two positions in the Western Conference All-Star starting backcourt are basically the same. Don't even think about getting involved.

Gasol, who is working as a team bus, saw that he was selected as an All-Star starter, and was so excited that his sister-in-law's cry was so attractive...

The Lakers start four All-Stars! Very good and powerful. Gasol was also selected as an All-Star starter last year, but last year his data was not bad, and he was still the starting power forward of the Lakers, but this year he went to play with the bench, and he did not expect to be selected as an All-Star starter. Not only did he surprise many fans, he himself was also surprised. Although Liu Ren’s “risky death” sent out a tweet before, he did not really look forward to it. Who knows that in the last few hours of the competition, The fans who voted for Gasol strengthened and beat Griffin, Anthony Davis and Thackeray at the last moment!

The Lakers players are very happy, even if they are not selected, they are still happy for their teammates, because this thing is based on popularity. If the popularity of teammates is high, you can get a little bit of it and drive your own popularity. Maybe there will be more endorsement contracts. Take tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands.

And the relationship between the Lakers is a good group. Generally speaking, the teammates of the team that win the championship together are very good. Otherwise, the relationship is not good and it will not be able to play a tacit cooperation.

Of course, Kobe and O'Neal are exceptions. They are the kind that are really suitable for teammates, and suitable to the kind that neither of them realizes.

In fact, Kobe and O'Neal are really the most suitable partners. Kobe likes shooting. O'Neal has the ability to make up for him even if his teammates can't make it. So Kobe shoots casually, and Kobe has a strong ability to pass to the basket. Sent a lot of assists to O'Neal.

This is why Kobe and Howard partner, and O'Neal and James partner feel unsuitable.

Of course, O'Neal and Howard were not at the peak when they were partnering with James and Kobe respectively~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Especially O'Neal, not far from retirement at that time, but no matter how old O'Neal is, he still has certain strength. It is still a behemoth under the basket, with his body tonnage lying there. He wants to see James take a lot of shots so that he doesn't need to go out to pick and roll and waste his energy, because he can dominate the basket as long as he has energy, but James is even more. Like to pass, but also to pass outside.

Therefore, some fans joked that O'Neal saw James keep passing the ball and complained: My former partner was rushing to shoot the key ball.

When Kobe and Howard partnered, they thought that they were the league's first center. There should be no difference. Then they kept shooting and asked Howard to grab rebounds. Howard was naturally unhappy, because even in his prime, he didn't have a basketball like O'Neal. Under the dominance.

Kobe and O’Neal’s partnership is an extremely rare exception. Other championship teams generally have very good relationships with players. Even if they leave the team in the future, the teammates who recall the most are still the teammates who won the championship together. After all, most players can have a lifetime. It's difficult to win a championship once. Percent of the players have never experienced the joy of savoring the championship with their teammates in their entire lives.

...

Of course, as soon as the All-Star starting list came out, the basketball fan circle burst!

The same team started with four All-Stars. The Lakers are making history. Last season, six were selected for the All-Star Weekend, but there were only three starters, Kobe, Liu Ren, and Gasol. This is not without the team. , But six people were selected for the All-Star Weekend last season, breaking records.

This year, four people were selected as the starters of the All-Stars. If it weren't because there were only four people in the frontcourt, maybe even the guy who only knew how to wave a towel could be selected.

Sakishi's last-minute votes were second only to the three starters in the frontcourt of the West, and he finally got more votes than Anthony Davis...
