Chapter 540
With the end of the All-Star Weekend, the league has once again entered the busy rhythm of the game. In general, these transactions that occurred between the trade deadline, except for the deal about Cousins ​​​​will trigger a series of Except for the changes, most of the other transactions are minor repairs. Even the championship center battle triggered after Bogut was waived by the 76ers is just a move by each team to buy insurance for their own playoffs.

On the fifth day after the end of the All-Star Weekend, the Lakers finally ushered in a new opponent again, and their opponent this time was none other than Westbrook, who had the highest score in the Midwest team in the All-Star Game. Of course, in the end, Westbrook only had impressive scoring data, and he did not appear on the court at the last critical moment, so no one voted for him in the final MVP selection.

Fortunately, Westbrook is not particularly important to the MVP trophy of the All-Star Game. He probably wants to get a better ranking in the regular season so that he can use his own strength in the playoffs. What I have learned all my life to teach Durant, a renegade, some lessons.And Ye Xuan is not on his revenge list now.

For this game, the Lakers also had a new teammate come to report, that is Ye Xuan's former teammate Roy Hibbert. Since Hibbert was directly traded, he has completed various procedures and physical examinations After that, he can directly play on behalf of the Lakers, and the rest of the All-Star Weekend just gave him time to handle these things. As for Matt Barnes, he needs to wait until the claim period passes. To be able to appear in the Lakers locker room.

In fact, Roy Hibbert still misses himself in the Pacers period very much, and he can't tell what happened to him. In short, when he was playing for the Suns and Hornets, Hibbert seemed very absent-minded. Of course, this probably has something to do with his mentality. When he was in the Pacers, no matter what, he was at least the team's inside core, and later won the championship with the Pacers. During the season, he was beside Ye Xuan, a master passer, and his statistics were not bad. But after being traded to the rebuilding team Suns, he found that his situation was a little different. The team often made all kinds of bizarre mistakes. They didn't get any offensive opportunities. In order to cultivate the core, the team gave Booker and others in the backcourt unlimited fire rights, while Hibbert gradually became a blue-collar player who grabbed rebounds.

This made Hibbert feel that he had been discriminated against and insulted, and his way of resisting was also very problematic. If you want to prove that you are capable, then you should beat your opponent during the game and lead the team to victory. You Grabbing dozens of rebounds madly, isn't it all about you alone in the newspaper the next day?As a result, he didn't work hard, but chose to give up on himself, and started this kind of sleepwalking on the court. He didn't work hard, which made the Suns able to provide him with some stable playing time, but they gave up on seeing him like this. After the contract expires, he still wants to seek a new contract, but other teams see his performance, how dare they sign him, and finally the Hornets use an annual salary of 500 million. After getting into the team, and Boss Joe found that his team still failed to bring Hibbert back to life, now the gambler has become a magician, and he is hoping that Ye Xuan can revive Hibbert.

And Ye Xuan was indeed prepared to do this, so after Hibbert came to the team, Ye Xuan also went to meet him as soon as possible, and had a good talk about the past. Hibbert was obviously very moved during the highlight moment of the Raiders, and Ye Xuan also took this opportunity to once again show his ability as a conversation expert and part-time confidant brother, and it was a chicken soup for Hibbert , although I don't know if Hibbert will be able to regain his state in the game in the end, but at least now Ye Xuan can barely turn his mentality around.

The game against the Thunder is actually not much to say. On one side, the Lakers are all present, and there is also a newcomer Hibbert who also came to report. On the other side, the Thunder is a little different. Although they have officially announced the deal about Taj Gibson, Gibson cannot play in this game because his physical examination has not been completed. After all, this game was held on the 25th, and the time they officially announced It's only the 24th, so they not only don't have Taj Gibson now, but even Morrow and others who were sent away in the transaction have left the team, and their combat effectiveness is weaker than before the transaction.

In addition, Westbrook estimated that he didn't have much anger to explode when facing his hometown team, the Lakers, so in this game against the Lakers, his combat effectiveness was not so overwhelming, although in the end he still went his own way. A triple-double of 31 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds came out, but it was the Lakers who finally won the game.

After a week of rest, Gasol's season fatigue has also been greatly relieved, and the team's current rotation and the like have basically taken shape, so the Lakers are basically completely in this game. Step by step, he directly won the game. Ye Xuan played 32 minutes and scored 28 points and 13 assists. Although Wade only scored 13 points, he also had 7 assists and 5 rebounds. In addition, the Lakers' statistics are the most eye-catching. It is estimated to be Randall. He probably knows that the team has a new insider to compete with him, and this insider is from the time when he won the championship with Ye Xuan. teammate, so he is naturally under some pressure, and this pressure is naturally transformed into his motivation on the court. After the whole game, although he only played 29 minutes, he hit 12 goals in 9 shots. With the data of 21 points and 9 rebounds, he fought the opponent Adams almost by himself for the whole game. Of course, this is one of the reasons why Gasol played very easily after the game. Due to Randall's excellent performance in this game, Gasol was able to calmly float on the outside and shoot three-pointers and the like.

After this game, the game in February is gradually coming to an end. After that, they only have two games left in February. One of the games is to go to San Antonio to challenge the Spurs, and the other game is to go to San Antonio. Charlotte, play against the Hornets.

Speaking of the Spurs, I have to mention the current situation and state of the Spurs. They have lost Duncan, the spiritual pillar of the team for the past 20 years this season, and because of various difficult competitions in the West, so The current situation is not particularly good. Last season, they were able to win 67 wins, ranking second in the West. Now they can only rank fifth in the West. Apart from the Lakers and Warriors, they are ahead of him. Outside of the team and the Pelicans, the most surprising thing is that the Rockets are also ranked ahead of the Spurs this year with Harden's sudden outbreak.

And now that the core of the team is gradually turning to the combination of Adelaide and Leonard, the role of Parker and Ginobili in the original three carriages in the game is becoming less and less obvious. In some games this season, Ginobili also made 6 of 0 shots and 7 of 0 shots.In addition to the aging of personnel, the Spurs' current tactical changes may also be one of the reasons for their decline in record. After Duncan was absent this season, Aldridge and Jefferson became Duncan's substitutes, but last season After a season of training, Aldridge still hasn't been well integrated into the Spurs' tactical system, which annoys Mr. Zhuge Weiqi very much, but he has nothing to do but be able to properly In terms of tactical thinking, it fits Adelaide's style of play, so this season's Spurs can clearly feel that their singles will become more, and the ball holder has also changed from the original point guard or inside to Leonard. De this small forward.

The Lakers actually paid more attention to the game against the Spurs. Compared with the Spurs, everyone knows that their current regular season play is like playing house, and they will find a reason to take turns. Let’s take a look at the main force, and then find a reason to rest that main force. One day, if Zhuge Weiqi himself wants to take a rest, he will quarrel with the referee on the field, and then take two T’s home to rest. Anyway, the bench There is also a bald man who can command the battlefield.

If the Lakers really meet the Spurs in the playoffs by then, they will definitely still have a very difficult time.Therefore, in this game, the Lakers also sent their strongest system, and it is estimated that in this game, in order to curb Jefferson's role in the interior, Hibbert can also get some playing time.

The process of the game did not go as Walton Jr. expected. The Spurs did not seem to want to expend too much energy on the Lakers, because they will have a back-to-back game with the Rockets tomorrow. They have a chance to get home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, so in this game against the Lakers, the Spurs chose to give up directly. After losing to the Lakers, the Spurs fell behind the Rockets by 1.5 After a win, the two teams will face-to-face in the next game, and this season the Rockets will have a very difficult schedule in March, and maybe the Spurs will be able to overtake them in one go.

After easily defeating the Spurs who didn't let the main players play much, the Lakers' wins this season have unknowingly reached 50 games, and they rarely lose now and have no chance to hit the Warriors. The record of 73 wins created last year, but still the same sentence, the Lakers are not particularly interested in this record, especially last year in order to get that record, the Warriors spent too much money in the regular season. Physical fitness, after the lessons learned that they played a little weak in the finals, the Lakers will not forcefully hit this record now.

Time flies. On February 29th, the Lakers finally came to Charlotte to challenge Mr. Joe’s Hornets. The Hornets are actually a tragic team this season. Last season they were able to After making it to the playoffs, this season he can only be ranked in the bottom four position in the Eastern Conference, and he is still diving further down. Obviously, Jordan's level of viewing people still needs to be improved. In order to give Batum a billion Yuan contract, the Hornets directly gave up Jeremy Lin, who was priced at the price of cabbage. At the same time, in order to save money, they also let go of the veteran Jefferson and brought in a soy-sauce Hibbert. Burt was sold to the Lakers for a second-round pick, and now the Lakers have brought Hibbert back.

Moreover, the Lakers finally ushered in another new aid in this game. After two days of clarification and various physical examinations and procedures later, Matt Barnes returned to Los Angeles again. I have lived in Los Angeles for five seasons back and forth, and now returning to Los Angeles can be regarded as returning to a familiar place.

Ye Xuan naturally knew that facing this relatively weak opponent today was also an opportunity for his new teammates to regain confidence, so shortly after the start of the game, Ye Xuan talked with Wharton Jr., and asked him to match Barnes and Hibbert was replaced. Although Hibbert had already reported for the Lakers in the first two games, he did not perform much. He played 3 minutes in a game and only scored two points and one rebound. Although he played 10 minutes in this game, the statistics are still only two points and one rebound. This state does not satisfy Ye Xuan and Walton Jr., so in this game, Ye Xuan wants to help him To regain self-confidence, the method is naturally to feed various cakes. Don’t you see that Jordan’s generation of cake kings has grown into the top three centers in the Western Conference under Paul’s feeding.

In fact, the process of this game is still very interesting. For example, Ye Xuan tried to send a wonderful pass to Hibbert during the game to help the latter in the alley-oop. As a result, Hibbert didn't notice the pass, causing Ye Xuan to back He made a mistake, and for example, Ye Xuan asked Hibbert to come up to help with the pick-and-roll, but Hibbert didn't know if he was a little too rusty. The running position after the pick-and-roll completely overlapped with Ye Xuan's, causing Ye Xuan to almost make another mistake. Ye Xuan threw the ball in a horse-riding archery posture in time, otherwise it would be another walking violation.
