Chapter 264 The Road Trip
After defeating the Thunder, the Lakers will also play four consecutive games at home. Three of the four opponents they will encounter in the future are not strong. They are the Hornets, Eagles, Kings and Spurs.

The Lakers took all the victories in the first three games. They defeated their opponents in a row and achieved a super long eight-game winning streak. With this super winning streak, the Lakers also officially entered the top three in the Western Conference.

The last opponent of the Lakers for five consecutive home games is the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs have a very luxurious lineup. They have star Leonard, the top three power forward Aldridge in the league, and the famous Lakers center Paul Gaso. Hall, as well as the veteran Tony Parker who is still in good condition, after Duncan and Ginobili announced their retirement this season, Parker became the last person in the GDP combination to stay in the Spurs.Not to mention that the Spurs still have Patty Mills and Rudy Gay sitting on the bench.

The Lakers have played very hard in this game, but they still lost the game at home.Helpless is because the Lakers' previous winning streak is indeed a bit long, and the young people of the Lakers are indeed a little bit flustered. Facing the Spurs with a well-organized lineup in this game, they are completely unable to stop the Spurs' offense. In the end, the Lakers After losing this game, the Lakers were officially re-overtaken by the Spurs, and they returned to the fourth place in the Western Conference.The good news is that the Lakers still have a 3-game lead from the fifth-placed Thunder in the Western Conference. It can be said that at present, the Lakers' top four positions in the Western Conference can be regarded as peace of mind.

Although this wave of victories is over, the Lakers players are still in a good mood. On the one hand, they are in really good condition during this period, and their results are enough to satisfy the fans. On the other hand, the Lakers The schedule during this period is still very considerate. Five consecutive home games means that the players can stay at home for a long time, and they don’t have to go to the away hotel with the team. In fact, it is quite comfortable.

During this period, Thomas and Wade conducted special training for Han Ziqi, Paul, Kuzma, and Ingram. Although the Lakers team has two All-Star players, Wade and Thomas, they actually drive There are still four young people in the Lakers tank. They are like quad-core drives, providing unlimited power for the driver Wade and the co-pilot Thomas Jr.

From the lineup point of view, the Lakers can be said to be completely inadequate in the top four in the Western Conference. Wade and Thomas Jr. are at best the level of Parker and Gasol of the Spurs, let alone the young Lakers. Compared with the superstar of a certain team.Because of this, the strong fighting power shown by the Lakers this season has surprised fans and the media even more. The only reason they can explain the strength of the Lakers is that they are united enough and the atmosphere in the locker room is good enough.In fact, it’s not just that, the cheating system carried by Han Ziqi is actually subtly changing the teammates around him. It must be far superior to other people, because Meng Shi was originally an amateur basketball team composed of a class team as the main body. Compared with the school team members of various schools, everyone's talent must be far behind, but it is such a team. Under the leadership of Han Ziqi, they were able to overcome difficulties and finally won the national championship. The same is true for the current Lakers. Paul, Kuzma and Ingram are actually by Han Ziqi's side. Influenced by the team BUFF carried by Han Ziqi, after all There is a captain BUFF on Han Ziqi, which can improve the enthusiasm and concentration of the players, which makes the Lakers' unity and discipline better than other teams.

After beating the Spurs, the Lakers rushed to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks. Since the Mavericks eliminated the Lakers, Thunder, and Heat to win the championship in 2011, they quickly entered rebuilding in the second year.Kidd, Marion, Tyson Chandler, and Jason Terry, who won the championship that year, left the Mavericks one after another. The star of the Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki, is also getting older. The competitiveness of the West is getting weaker and weaker, which is completely different from the Mavericks, a traditional strong team ten years ago.But there is a saying in the Southwest District, that is, when you come to Texas, you will meet three teams, the Spurs, the Mavericks and a certain team. After playing one game with these three teams, you cannot get out of it. The strength of the three teams was very strong at the time. Whether it was the GDP combination of the Spurs, Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks or the combination of Yao Ming and McGrady of a certain team, they were not easy to mess with.

Today's Mavericks lineup is not strong, in addition to Dirk Nowitzki, there are Harrison Barnes, DSJ Dennis - Smith, Wesley - Matthews, Devon Harris, Jose - Barea and Stephen Curry's brother - Seth Curry.

The Lakers did not expend too much effort to defeat the Mavericks. Nowitzki is nearing the end of his career. He only plays about ten minutes in each game. It can be said that he has completely become the Mavericks. mascot too.The mission of the Mavericks this season is also very simple, that is, to play poorly. After all, the quality of rookies next season is still very good, and even if they try their best, they are unlikely to make it to the playoffs.

After the Lakers won this game, they continued to go to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies. The situation of the Grizzlies is actually similar to that of the Mavericks, but the Grizzlies have Marc Gasol and Mike Conley after all. It is not easy to win a victory in their hands.The game finally went to overtime, and it was still relying on Wade's 2+1 to end the suspense of the game. After losing to the Spurs, the Lakers quickly won two consecutive away games. Pretty good.

After playing the Grizzlies, the Lakers went to Oklahoma to challenge the Thunder, the fifth place in the Western Conference. Lost to the Thunder in the away game, the win gap between the two sides narrowed to two games.

After playing these three away games, the Lakers finally returned to Los Angeles. To be honest, the atmosphere of the away game was too depressing, and they still played comfortably at home.After all, the home fans are extraordinarily friendly.
