In the last quarter, both teams played fringe players and started to compete with each other.

The Lakers' rookie was slightly better. The final score was 130 to 70. The Lakers beat the Clippers by 60 points.

As soon as the game ended, the Clippers players and coaches left the field quickly, not wanting to stay at the scene for a moment longer.

In terms of statistics, Maggette of the Clippers scored 19 points, Tracy McGrady scored 14 points on 6 of 20 shots, Kaman scored 12 points, and everyone else was in single digits.

For the Lakers, Kobe made 8 of 16 shots and scored 20 points with free throws, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

Zhang Zhiyuan made 9 of 15 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 24 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists including free throws.

Although he scored more points than Kobe, Kobe couldn't be dissatisfied.

15 shots were taken, which was 8 times less than the agreed 23 times. Zhang Zhiyuan's move was already quite kind.

Kobe can only blame the Clippers for not living up to expectations and not being able to hold on for a little longer.

Hayes played 30 minutes today, made 11 of 17 shots, and scored 22 points, significantly breaking his own single-game scoring record.

Originally, he came to the Lakers as an addition, and the Lakers management did not expect him to play much role.

However, judging from Hayes' performance this season, 4 million a year is not a bad loss.

Odom made 7 of 14 shots and scored 16 points, Bynum had 8 points, and Fisher had 9 points. The other players who played all scored, and everyone was happy.

At the post-game press conference, Dunleavy almost got angry when faced with reporters' questions.

Dunleavy really wanted to say, what does the Clippers' defeat have to do with me, Dunleavy?

The boss dunks, the manager is blind, the players are useless, but I am not guilty.

"Tracy, do you think you're still one of the best players in the league?"

the reporter asked.

"Of course, I have just recovered from the injury and have not yet regained my form. When I regain my form, I will still be one of the best players.

one."

Even though his scoring average has dropped to 15 points per game and his shooting percentage has dropped below 40%, he can still insist that he is the best without changing his face.

"But you only have 15 points now. Is it because you don't have the ball?"

Reporters continue to work on things and find news.

McGrady can't answer this question. If he admits it, he will offend the coach. If he doesn't admit it, he can't explain the low score.

"What are your goals for this season, what are your goals for next season, and are you worried that you will never win a championship?"

At the end of the question, McGrady almost went berserk. He wanted to remind the other party that he had a championship.

Although this championship is not very glorious, at least there is a championship.

After the Clippers, the Lakers attended.

Both Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe Bryant showed up, which made reporters grit their teeth.

It's really disgusting to show up when you win and hide when you lose.

Originally, it was just Zhang Zhiyuan who liked to use this trick, but now Kobe has been led as well.

"Zhang, what happened to the previous three consecutive defeats? Judging from today's performance, you are obviously very strong."

the reporter asked.

"According to what you said, if you are strong you can't lose? Then why should we fight? Just let the league award the trophy to us directly."

Zhang Zhiyuan complained.

"There are reports that there was a conflict between you and Kobe. Has the conflict been resolved now?"

Reporters continued to dig.

"It's news from ESPN, it's all fake news."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

"I protest, Zhang, you are slandering me."

An ESPN reporter stood up, and then the topic of the press conference went off track.

In the end, Jackson couldn't stand it anymore and said, "No matter how strong a team is, it will lose sometimes. Don't make random guesses when it loses. Yesterday, the Celtics lost. Was it Kyle?"

Did the three giants of Teren also have conflicts?"

"Our team has no conflicts, we are still at the top of the league, we have no problems..."

Jackson concluded.

A victory shattered the rumors, and many fans no longer doubted the relationship between Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe Bryant.

Even if some fans still doubt it, they have no evidence unless the Lakers lose more games and then Kobe and Zhang Zhiyuan have arguments and conflicts during the game.

Will the Lakers lose more games?

It's hard for fans to guess.

After all, the Lakers could lose to the Kings and Bulls before.

On the 12th, the Lakers defeated the Bobcats again 122-101, sweeping the Bobcats this season.

On the 14th, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 119-100, completing a sweep of the Warriors.

The Lakers' record this season is so good that many teams have never beaten them once.

The Eastern Conference teams are better, only needing to lose twice.

The Warriors, Clippers, Kings, and Suns are in dire straits. They are in the same division as the Lakers and have to play four games a season.

On the 16th, the Lakers continued to win, reaching 59 games, shocking the league.

You know, some seasons the entire league can't find a team that reaches 59 wins, and 59 wins in a single season is not easy at all.

There are still 16 games left for the Lakers.

If this trend continues, there is still hope for hitting 73 wins.

Except for the Lakers, no club wants to see them win 73 games. Every team hopes to snipe the Lakers.

On the 19th, the Clippers played against the Mavericks away from home.

Although no one keeps statistics, there are very many people supporting the Mavericks to win this game.

Dallas, players take the field.

As soon as the Lakers players showed up, the home fans booed all kinds of things, and the boos towards Zhang Zhiyuan were particularly intense.

Mavericks fans all know in their hearts that it is impossible for them to get Zhang Zhiyuan and become one of their own.

"The Lakers have become the public enemy of the league."

Smith laughed.

"It's normal. No one likes such a powerful opponent."

Buckley said.

"Then do you think the Mavericks have any hope of sniping the Lakers in this game?"

Smith asked.

"It depends on the relationship between Kobe and Zhang Zhiyuan."

Barkley said bluntly, and Smith laughed.

Although the Lakers Public Relations Department does not admit that Kobe and Zhang Zhiyuan have conflicts, many fans do not believe this.

On the court, both sides have completed their warm-up.

On the Lakers side are Fisher, Kobe, Zhang Zhiyuan, Hayes and Bynum.

Odom has been completely reduced to a substitute.

It was obvious that Kobe Bryant and Zhang Zhiyuan had a conflict, but it was Odom who was injured in the end.

Odom has no fucks to say about it.

The Mavericks are Kidd, Stackhouse, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, and Dampier.

Compared with last season, the Mavericks' record has declined significantly.

Facing the increasingly fierce competition in the Western Conference, the Mavericks made changes some time ago and completed a big deal with the Nets.

The Mavericks sent Devin Harris, Diop, Trenton Hassell, Keith Van Horn, Maurice Agger, two draft rights, and some cash to the Nets in exchange for Jason Kidd and Malik Allen.

and Wright.

In this deal, the core are Kidd and Harris, and the others are unimportant additions, just for salary balance.

Among them, Keith Van Horn had retired in 2006 and stopped playing basketball. In order to balance the salary, the Mavericks gave Van Horn a two-year contract with a salary of more than 4 million.

After Van Horn arrived with the Nets, he didn't play a single game, and didn't even have to participate in team training. His salary was in vain, and he was the biggest winner in this deal.

After acquiring Kidd, the Mavericks' paper lineup seems to be much stronger.

Kidd, the best point guard ever, led the team to the Finals alone, had 5 assists titles, five All-NBA teams, and 9 All-Defensive teams...
