The team suffered three consecutive losses, and the media in Los Angeles had to take the blame no matter what. Kobe has been playing 30 games in the last two games, and the shooting percentage was also good. The reporters did not criticize him much, and all the firepower was placed on the coaching staff and other players.

Some of Tom Janovic blindly trusted Ke Yan, who focused on attacking and defense, some of Odom made mistakes in the game, some of whom made mistakes inexplicably, some of whom Ke Yan talked about the war on paper, had no hair on his mouth, and were not doing things firmly, and some of whom the management was inaction. The summer trade weakened the team's strength. Anyway, what they once talked about has become a problem for the Lakers.

This is the case in Los Angeles, traffic is the most important! The Lakers are a giant team again. If they lose the game, someone will always take the blame. Ke Yan was praised a lot when he won the game, and when he lost, he would naturally be pushed out to carry the knife.

In fact, in these three games, the Lakers basically did not suffer any losses in tactical arrangements and personnel dispatch. Either the player feels too bad, or the player loses because of a major player, and there is no suitable substitute player to use it.

Speaking of which, the Lakers' substitute lineup is really a bit too weak. Especially substitute point guard Terry Brown and substitute small forward Luke Walton are really not suitable for Ke Yan's tactical system.

On December 6, the Lakers went to Charlotte, defeated the Bobcats 105-91, and finally stopped the decline and ended the three consecutive losses. (11-8)

In addition to Kobe's fourth consecutive game, the hero of this game was Atkins. He made 7 of 13 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 21 points. He stood up when the team was in trouble.

Odom, who is at the forefront, also returned to his state in this game. He made 4 shots from the outside in this game, hitting 2 goals, scoring 20 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in the whole game, which saved himself a lot.

The league's new army Bobcats are still in a stage of poverty and weakness, and they can only roll at the bottom of the league for a while. However, the team has completed the first step in building the team. First, the Shari gold digging to discover Gerald Wallace, an all-around small forward, and in the draft, he got Okafor, who is good at fighting skills. Both players are high-quality and are very young. The team is weak for two or three years, and when the high pick rookies have saved enough, and then use their salary space to do something, it should be natural to rise.

However, the team boss brought the boss of Qiao to join the group, which became the unfortunate beginning of the Bobcats. Qiao Gang leader played goat and had a high reputation, but he was far from being a boss. Not only did he get involved, but he also intervened a few times!

Looking down from the perspective of God, everyone is a waste! Since they are all waste, then choose any one! This is the principle of the boss of Qiao to run the Bobcats.

After defeating the Charlotte Bobcats, the Lakers lost back-to-back away to the Indiana Pacers and failed to win a winning streak. (11-9)

The Auburn Palace fight ended Artest's season in just seven games, and it also took away the possibility of veteran Reggie Miller competing for the championship in the last year of his career. Without the team's best outside defender and second scorer, the Pacers retreated from the championship contender to the level of the playoff team. However, in this game, the team still suppressed the exhausted Lakers.

The inside with comprehensive offensive skills is the nemesis of this Lakers team. The Grizzlies have Paul Gasol and Pacers teammate O'Neal Jr. The latter has a greater threat than the former, with both physical and technical skills, and a wider shooting range. Odom and Anderson were beaten tightly.

O'Neal Jr. was in a turbulent line in the Lakers' interior, and Stephen Jackson and Reggie Miller also contributed 18 points and 16 points respectively. The Pacers, who are both inside and outside, finally defeated the Lakers 117:104.

It was after losing this game that Ke Yan found Butler, who performed well in recent games, and his tone was rare to be stern: "Caron, what did you do recently? It has dropped so much. If this continues, we will fall out of the top eight in the West!"

"Sorry, I know I've played badly recently and I'll work hard in the future." It was Ke Yan's support that allowed Butler to take the small forward position in the Lakers. He also treated Ke Yan very respectfully.

"The nightlife in Los Angeles is beautiful, but you have to pay attention to your position when you go out and don't affect your performance on the court."

When he first arrived in Los Angeles, Butler was not so familiar with the surrounding area. In addition, when he came to a new team, he had to fight for his position. He spent a considerable amount of time in the training hall. However, as time went by, Butler settled in the main position and then began to go out frequently to enjoy his nightlife. He knew which store girl had better work and bigger butts, and his energy was reduced.

The United States emphasizes freedom and human rights. Ke Yan has no right to interfere with the private lives of players. He himself knows that players work hard to play for better material enjoyment. But he hopes that players understand that all material enjoyment comes from money. Without stable performance, the team will not give him a big contract.

Odom has already obtained a big contract and his life is guaranteed. Butler is still in the rookie contract and does not play well when he is throwing coins. Some of the bankrupt seniors in the league have given him negative teaching materials.

"The Lakers are a big team, and playing here means higher exposure. If you play well or not, you will be magnified. Play well, the team will pay attention to you and will give you a big contract. If you perform poorly, everyone will know that other teams will also be concerned about the contracts they give you."

"You can go out to play, but you must ensure enough rest time and don't be distracted during training and competitions. During competitions, your legs are weak, and no matter how hard you try, it will be useless!"

To persuade players like Butler, they cannot move them with emotion, and can only understand them with reason and lure them with profit, so they will take this trick.

After two consecutive away games in the East, the Lakers returned to their home court, with the opponent being the Orlando Magic.

For the Lakers, this game is very critical. In the last five games, the Lakers have lost four games, and their ranking has fallen to eighth place in the West, only one win by leading the Grizzlies behind them. Ke Yan came to the Lakers, but he hoped to change the team's fate of missing the playoffs, and he didn't want the team to be even worse than before.

Starting from the mess of last season, the Magic's foundation is much better than that of ordinary "bad teams". The scoring champion, the combination of the inside line should have been worth looking forward to. Even though McGrady was unwilling to wait for Howard's growth, the team exchanged McGrady for three qualified players, Francis, Mobley and Cato, and cleared up Howard's premium contracts by Zhu Wan, and coupled with Grant Hill's comeback, the Magic's paper strength can rank among the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

In the first four years of the Magic, Grant Hill played a total of 47 games. The repeated ankle injury has taken away the "fastest first step in the league" on which Hill relied on. Even if she returned to the relatively healthy return course this season, violent breakthroughs were difficult to reappear. Fortunately, Hill's basketball IQ is still there. As an organizational forward, he can make up for Francis' lack of organizational capabilities and be a good lubricant between Howard and Francis.

"Caron, in this game, in addition to limiting Grant's performance, we need you to take more introspection and help protect rebounds. Hill is not good at outside shooting and can give appropriate space." After the final arrangement after shooting training, Ke Yan gave Caron Butler an in-person opportunity, "Remember, there can be no more problems in this game!"
