The happy time is short-lived, and the Lakers only spent two days in Los Angeles.

After playing the Jazz, their record came to 18 wins and 3 losses, ranking first in the league.

The Lakers have shown their strength more and more in the game, and there is a faint fear of being dominated by the yellow robe king in the entire league.

However, the Lakers' achievement is also related to the ease of the schedule.

The consecutive home games at the beginning gave the Lakers a good chance to run in.

Let Mike Brown clearly understand who is the thigh of this team in many victories.

The next few away games are all in the west. Even though Gasol's injury has a certain impact, the core framework is still there.

By the way, he used this injury to solve the problem of Li Liang being targeted.

Li Liang is also competitive enough to play impressively in the fourth position.

Although the score is a bit worse than playing the third position as a substitute, it shows his rebounding style.

There is also good news that Nash is gradually recovering and finding his role.

These advantages together contributed to the excellent performance of the Lakers in the first 20 games.

With the advent of winter, the warm and sweet schedule came to an end, and a wave of east road trips came.

In fact, ten years ago, for the Lakers, the Eastern Conference road trip was tourism.

After Jordan retired, the pattern of strong west and weak east has been maintained for more than ten years.

Western Conference teams have a 50% winning percentage and cannot make it to the playoffs.

For an eighth spot, the dog's brains were all played out.

The 50% winning rate of the Eastern Conference teams goes straight to the upper half, and the lottery area is even more inextricably beaten, competing for the No. 1 pick every year, breaking the record of losing streak.

In the past two years, with the Celtics forming the Big Three, James has gradually grown. Compared with the beginning of the 21st century, the situation has eased slightly.

It is no longer a situation where the Western Conference Finals compete for the championship and the Eastern Conference Finals decides the overall runner-up.

But the East is still very weak. This trip to the East, four games, Cavaliers, Knicks, Wizards, 76ers.

Only the Knicks have been so strong recently that they can be regarded as rivals.

The other teams are relatively weak.

However, there are no underdogs in the NBA. Facing any opponent, as long as you take it lightly, you may overturn.

Especially away from home.

Even if it is a bad team, most of them are blatantly playing away games.

The home game still has to be fun, pretending to struggle.

The home audience should not be too disappointed.

You see, I'm still moving, I'm not dead.

If one accidentally didn't control the strength well, he would have killed the strong visiting team with one punch.

On December 11, the entire Lakers team came to Cleveland, and Ohio entered a cold winter.

Because of this game against the Lakers, Gund Stadium is full tonight.

After James went to the South Coast to flex his fists, the Cavaliers' ball market plummeted.

Now it mainly depends on the prestige of the away team to support attendance.

The goal of the Cleveland Cavaliers this year is very clear, to fight for the No. 1 pick!

There was once a No. 1 pick in my team, but I didn't cherish it. After seven years, I didn't get what he wanted.

It is too late to regret until you lose it. There is nothing more painful than this in the world.

Now that I have another champion, if God gives me another chance, I want to say: "One more bottle."

With the belief of getting another bottle, the Cavaliers began to play badly.

Even if they have the No. 1 pick, Kyrie Irving, after all, Irving can't compare with James, and his leading ability and physical talent are much worse.

Before this game, the Cavaliers had 4 wins and 17 losses, and their record was almost the same as that of the Lakers.

No matter how you look at it, the Lakers are taking it easy and can win easily.

But this time the Lakers almost overturned.

Mike - Brown back home, looking at Cleveland everything is so familiar, those were good memories.

Brown didn't make any targeted arrangements before the game. It's a bit too much to make targeted arrangements against a bad team like the Cavaliers.

But the basketball game is always unpredictable, especially the player's touch.

In the previous game against the Magic, the Magic's outside players felt a collective explosion, no matter how they threw it.

The Cavaliers are also here tonight, and the wine-red home court is even more red.

Cavaliers players are like adding a bloodthirsty buff, no matter how they shoot on the offensive end.

Especially Varejao on the inside, a pick-and-roll went down, his little hand shook, and he scored two points for a layup.

With this trick of him and Kyrie Irving, the Lakers scored 20 points inside.

20 points, and the hit rate is extremely high, and it also caused Howard to foul twice.

This Varejao has always been good at making offensive fouls, how could he even make defensive fouls?

Needless to say, Owen, the No. 1 pick is the No. 1 pick, and Lao Na will inevitably be blown up again.

There is also the point of shooting guard, CJ Miles, usually only about 10 points, broke out tonight, 10 of 18 shots, 5 of 10 three-pointers, scored 28 points in front of Corvo.

It's a shame, the Lakers are dead and old in the backcourt, and the defensive end is completely eaten up.

The Lakers can only desperately find on the offensive end.

Kobe broke out again this time, scoring 42 points in a single game, while Nash scored 18 points, and the two combined to score 60 points.

The game has been anxious until the last moment. When the two sides were evenly divided, Kobe hit an iron.

But Li Liang "picked up" the key offensive rebound again, and made a layup under the basket and made a foul.

Made two free throws, 102:100, and took the lead at the last moment.

Strong teams and weak teams sometimes win or lose by only a few points. The difference between strength and weakness lies in the personal ability of the players and the team's tactical execution at the last moment.

The Cavaliers don't have much tactical execution ability. They played so well tonight, all in one breath.

This breath was vented by an offensive rebound.

In the end, Owen was strangled by Li Liang [Death Coil] on the outside.

Although he didn't lose the ball, he lost his offensive rhythm, forced a jump shot, twisted his body to shoot, and missed it slightly.

The Cavaliers regretted losing at home.

In fact, there is no regret, such a losing knight likes it the most.

You see, we gave it our all and played well until the end.

It's not that our army doesn't work hard, but that the Lakers have Gundams and really can't beat them.

In this way, fans will not feel that the team is playing badly, and at the same time, the team loses to achieve strategic goals.

The two sides took what they needed, reached a friendly consensus of mutual benefit and win-win, and ended the game in an enthusiastic, stable and harmonious atmosphere.

The Lakers are going through danger this time.

But the next one won't be so easy.

One day later, the entire Lakers team flew to New York for the second away game, the New York Knicks.

Before changing to this season, what a bad guy, what are you afraid of.

Especially for Bryant, Madison Square Garden is simply his blessed land.

This year's Knicks are a little different. After strengthening in the summer, they have a strong momentum at the beginning of the season.

16 wins and 5 losses, already ranked first in the Eastern Conference, surpassing the Heat.

After Stoudemire fell sharply due to injury, the Knicks added Tyson Chandler and Rasheed Wallace to the interior, two experienced and outstanding defensive veterans.

On the point guard, Jason Kidd, an old demon, is invited. He is 39 this year, and like Nash, he is in the final stage of his career.

The Lakers once struggled between Kidd and Nash, and finally chose Nash.

Bryant would like to join forces with Kidd, but has been unsuccessful.

The confrontation between these two outside old men is very interesting. The so-called base does not attack, accept or defend, and they all know how to pass the ball.

Nash did take a step on the defensive end, and the offensive end can still rely on master-level shooting to contribute.

Kidd's offense is basically disabled, his organization and scheduling ability has become more and more perfect, and his defense still has room to rely on his size and experience.

In the Knicks, he made up for Carmelo Anthony's flaws in organization, allowing him to devote all his energy to his best offense.

The Knicks also equipped Anthony with Ronnie Brewer and Raymond Field in the backcourt, one for defense and one for holding the ball.

Coupled with Tyson Chandler inside, it can be said that all four of them serve Anthony.

This is Nowitzki who has turned Anthony into 11 years. He lived up to expectations and played a very good performance at the beginning of the season.

Played 17 games in the first 19 games, averaging 30.9 points per game, shooting 48% from the field and 45% from the three-point range. He led the team to 15 wins and 5 losses, which is completely at the MVP level.

That's why I say that Lonnie finally sees the dawn of the 21st century.

Since they miraculously reached the finals in 8th place in 1999, the last shrinking season before the millennium, and created a black eight miracle, they have been in a slump.

After all, this kind of performance against the sky is really exhausting luck.

Even New York, the world's number one city, can't stop it from rotten for more than ten years, and it's rotten with no end in sight.

Now that it can recover, the Huni war naturally attracted the attention of many media.

Currently on the regular season MVP voting list, Kobe, Anthony, and James are vying for each other, and anyone is likely to reach the top.

So this is a battle of focus.

Li Liang is very busy in the Big Apple City tonight.

While he was busy pinching Anthony with Ci Shiping, he was busy taking out the ball blind tester to test the IQ of the Knicks.

Look at Jason Kidd first:

【The ball blind index is 7.9%, which is in line with the first law of ball blind sports. In the absence of external force, you will not change your sports state unless someone "Hit-me". For him, 7.9% belongs to the first ball blind escape index. If it can be lower than this index, congratulations, the seat of an excellent coach will be placed in front of your eyes. 】

At halftime, look at Anthony again, he shoots really accurately:

[The ball blind index is 58%, the maker of 58, the big killer in the ball blind, although he is a ball blind, but he can play. When you think he is going to shoot, he is actually going to shoot at you, and when you think he is going to shoot at you, he is actually going to shoot again. This is the sudden shooting duality of ball blindness. 】

Li Liang saw that it was quite accurate. The three threats after Anthony's tentative step-although the pass threat is not great, but the two tricks of head-on breakthrough and shooting are really hard to guard against.

He is not quite the same as Durant. Durant ignores you, and Anthony uses his skills and body to make you helpless.

The two teams played inextricably. At the critical moment, the Knicks' bench players stepped forward.

A JR Smith, a Rasheed - Wallace, the two hit consecutive three-pointers outside, helping the Knicks establish an advantage.

And what about the Lakers' bench? Pit.

Meeks, who was quite accurate in three-pointers in the previous games, made one three-pointer tonight.

And it was 1 of 7 shots!

Li Liang scored two three-pointers in a row at the last minute, closing the gap to only 2 points.

Next, the Lakers defended the Knicks' offense and had a good chance to tie and overtake.

But Kobe, you are so brave at the critical moment!

Li Liang was so angry that he launched [Tim Duncan's Head Touch Kill] to pat Kobe's head frantically.

After that, the Lakers could only use foul tactics and send Anthony to the free throw line. Isn't that a point?

In the end, the Lakers lost by 4 points. Li Liang scored 12 points, 10 rebounds, and another double-double.

But he doesn't care about this data.

Madison Square Garden cheered, they won the focus of the battle.

The players from both sides embraced each other, and Li Liang was so angry that he tested Rasheed Wallace again:

[Ball blindness index: p, if p is greater than 0, then the probability of having at least one technical foul in n games is P=1-(1-p)^n. As n gets larger, P gets closer to 1. Explanation: 1. Any technical foul is not as simple as it seems on the surface. 2. All technical fouls come earlier than you expect. 3. The technical fouls that should come will always come. 4. If you are worried about technical fouls, the referee is more likely to call you a technical foul. This is Murphy's Law of ball blindness. 】

Hey, interesting, I feel a little better after losing.

Look at JR Smith again:

[The ball blind index is 167% (exploded??), on the edge of the third escape velocity of the ball blind, as long as a little acceleration exceeds this edge, he will break away from the gravitational force of the basketball world and fly freely and unpredictable Mysterious field (basketball behavior in this field will be unpredictable)]

Haha, Li Liang felt better again.

But sitting in the locker room, no one speaks, and it still makes people feel uncomfortable to lose.

Li Liang sighed, stretched out his hand silently, activated [Tim Duncan's Head Touch Kill], gave himself a little bit, and calmed down.

Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, so fight well in the end!
