Happy times are short, and the Lakers stayed in Los Angeles for two days.

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

The Lakers have shown their strength more and more during the game, and the entire league is vaguely afraid of being dominated by the yellow-robed king again.

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

The start of the consecutive home games gave the Lakers a good opportunity to run in.

This made Mike Brown clearly realize in many wins who is the thigh of this team.

The next few away games are 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 that Li Liang was targeted.

Li Liang was also very successful and played well in the fourth position.

Although the score is a little worse than playing as a substitute number three, it shows his rebounding style.

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

These positive news together led to the Lakers' outstanding performance in the first 20 games.

With the advent of winter, the warm and sweet schedule has come to an end, and a wave of away trips to the East have arrived.

In fact, it will take ten years ago. For the Lakers, the East's away trip is a tourism.

After Jordan retired, the situation of strong West and weak East has been maintained for more than ten years.

The Western Conference team has a 50% winning rate and cannot enter the playoffs.

For the eighth place, the dog's brain was all out.

The Eastern Conference team's 50% winning rate went straight to the top half of the area, and the lottery area was even more difficult to solve, competing for the top scorer every year, breaking the record of losing streak.

In the past two years, James has gradually grown up with the Big Three of the Celtics, and the situation has eased slightly compared to the beginning of the 21st century.

It is no longer a situation where the Western Conference Finals wins the championship, but the Eastern Conference Finals decides the runner-up.

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

Only the Knicks have been in great momentum recently and can be regarded as a strong enemy.

The other teams are relatively weak.

However, NBA has no weak team. Facing any opponent, as long as you take it lightly, you may fail.

Especially on the away game.

Even if a team that is bad, it is often the time to play away.

I still have to be willing to play at home, pretend to struggle.

You can't let the home audience down too much.

Look, I'm still moving, I'm not dead.

If a person accidentally fails to control his strength, he will kill the strong team who is visiting away with one punch.

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

Because of this fight against the Lakers, Gunder Stadium was full tonight.

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

Now we mainly rely on the reputation of away teams to support our attendance.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' goal this year is very clear and they will compete for the No. 1 pick!

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

It is not until you lose it, and the most painful thing in the world is this.

Now I have another top scorer. If God gives me another chance, I want to say: "Give me another bottle."

The Knight began to show off his promise to have another bottle.

Even if they have the No. 1 pick Kyrie Irving, after all, Irving cannot compete with James. His team-leading ability and physical talent are much worse.

Before this game, the Cavaliers won 4 and lost 17, and their record was almost lost with the Lakers.

No matter how you look at the Lakers, they are sure to win this game and can easily win.

But this game almost made a comeback.

Mike Brown returned to his hometown and watched everything in Cleveland be so familiar, those beautiful memories.

Before the game, Brown did not make any targeted arrangements. It would be a bit too much to play a team like the Cavaliers.

But the basketball court is always unpredictable, especially the players' feel.

The previous game of Magic was that the magic outside players burst out with their touch, and they could throw it to the point of getting it.

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

The Cavaliers players are like adding bloodthirsty buffs, and they can shoot as much as they attack on the offensive end.

Especially Valejo, who was in the inside, went down with a pick-and-roll, shook his hand and scored two layups.

With this move between him and Kyrie Irving, he scored 20 points in the Lakers' inside.

20 points, and the shooting percentage is extremely high, which also caused Howard to commit two fouls.

This Valaijo has always been good at creating offensive fouls, so why can he even create defensive fouls?

Needless to say, the No. 1 pick is the No. 1 pick, and Lao Na was inevitably beaten again.

There is also the shooting guard point, CJ Myers, who usually only has about 10 points, broke out tonight, made 10 of 18 shots, and made 5 of 10 three-pointers, scoring 28 points in front of Lao Ke.

It's embarrassing that the Lakers died in the backcourt and were completely eaten up on the defensive end.

The Lakers can only try their best to find the offensive end.

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

The game was in a state of anxiety until the last moment, and Kobe was angrily beaten up when both sides split.

But Li Liang "picked" the key frontcourt rebound and made a layup at the basket and made a foul.

He made both free throws, 102:100, and took the lead at the last moment.

For strong teams and weak teams, sometimes the winner is only a few points, and the difference between strength and weakness depends on the player's personal ability and team's tactical execution at the last moment.

The Knights have no tactical execution ability. They played so well tonight, all with one breath.

This breath was leaked by a frontcourt rebound.

In the end, Irving was strangled by Li Liang's [Death Entangled] on the outside.

Although he did not concede the ball, he had lost the offensive rhythm and forced a jump shot, twisted his body and shot slightly.

The Cavaliers lost to the home court.

Actually, there is no regret. This kind of loser likes the most.

You see, we went all out, played very well, and fought until the last moment.

It’s not that our army doesn’t work hard, but that the Lakers have Gundam, which really can’t beat them.

In this way, fans will not think that the team is playing tricks, and the team loses to achieve strategic goals.

Both sides took their own needs and reached a friendly consensus of mutual benefit and win-win results. The game ended in a passionate, stable and harmonious atmosphere.

The Lakers passed the game in a dangerous situation.

But the next game wasn't so easy.

One day apart, the Lakers' team flew to New York and played the second away game, the New York Knicks.

Before the season, I have nothing to be afraid of.

Especially for Kobe, Madison Garden Plaza is simply his blessed place.

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

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

After Stoudemire's sharp decline due to injury, the Knicks added two experienced veterans, Tyson Chandler and Rashid Wallace in the interior.

At the point guard, Jason Kidd, the old monster, was invited to come. He is 39 this year, just like Nash, in the final stage of his career.

The Lakers once had a tangle between Kidd and Nash, but in the end they chose Nash.

Kobe really wanted to join forces with Kidd, but he never succeeded.

It is very interesting to confront these two old men on the outside. The so-called "bachelor" does not attack or defend, and they all pass the ball.

Nash did make one step on the defensive end, and he could still make contributions by relying on master-level shooting on the offensive end.

Kidd is basically disabled in offense, his organization and scheduling ability is becoming more and more perfect, and his defense is still hard to rely on his body shape and experience.

He was in the Knicks and made up for Cameron Anthony's organizational flaws, allowing him to devote himself to the offense he is best at.

The Knicks also equipped Anthony with Ronnie Brewer and Raymond Field in the backcourt, one defending and the other can hold the ball.
