The Lakers players are puzzled by the fact that the 16-2 record can still be looked down upon, but the feedback received from the coaches, both the management and the coaching staff, are very happy to see this kind of downturn.

The Lakers' next opponent is the Hawks, who had an impressive year last season but then returned to the ordinary.

Before the Lakers and Hawks game began, a big event happened in Los Angeles, the Lakers' home base, when the Lakers officially announced the dismissal of the team's former executive vice president, Jim Buss, and the hiring of Magic Johnson as the Lakers' new president of basketball operations.

It was then revealed that on November 28, Jim Bass sued his five siblings in court, accusing them of embezzlement of their shares, and then Jenny Bass and others submitted the will of the elder Bass and the documents of the joint vote within the Bath family to agree to the equity transaction.

The court rejected Jim Buss's complaint and declared that the "small consortium" led by Pelinka bought Jim Buss' Lakers shares for $352 million, and the deal was valid!

Jim Bass didn't struggle anymore after struggling to no avail, he just wanted to sell for more money.

It has actually been several days since this incident happened to the court's dismissal and was exposed by the media, and when the Lakers officially announced that Magic Johnson had joined the Lakers management, everything was already in place.

This is already the best knot for the Lakers players, like the 15-16 season when Liu Ren watched the game in his last life, the Lakers' top management, that is, the Bass family, has been engaged in the "palace fight" battle almost all year round, at that time, the Lakers' record was not good, and the fans could be happy when they saw the palace fight, but now it is the defending champion, so this fast one-size-fits-all approach is the most in the interests of the team, and the impact on the players is minimized, or even basically no impact, because few people like Bass Jr.

On December 5, the Lakers, who had a day of rest in Atlanta, finally recovered their strength and came to Phillips Arena to challenge the Hawks away.

The Eagles have an average record this year, but who let them have a good life, born in the weakest division of the league - the Southeast Division, and the Hawks now have a 10-8 record in the Southeast Division, ranking fourth in the East.

Originally, there was a Wizards team in the Southeast Division, but the Wizards performed very strangely this year, playing everyone at five-to-five, scoring an average of 106 points per game, conceding an average of 106 points per game, grabbing an average of 43 rebounds per game, and conceding an average of 42.5 rebounds per game...... All the data is 55 with the opponent, and the record is also 55, and now it is 9 wins and 10 losses, ranking eighth in the East.

The Hawks said they didn't want to sit fourth in the East...... It's so tsundere.

In fact, after letting go of Carroll, the Hawks also strengthened, poaching Sefrosa from the Thunder in the middle of the two years, getting Split from the Spurs, and getting Hinrich from the Bulls, these are all very good defensive players, so that the Hawks' defensive efficiency has not dropped too much, conceding only 99 points per game this season, ranking among the top in the league, and their scoring efficiency has not declined so much compared to last season.

But their record is far worse than last season.

Generally speaking, the Hawks have completely declined after being thoroughly studied, they still have that style of play, abusing vegetables and losing strong teams, last year they faced ordinary playoff teams and could abuse vegetables like playing weak teams, but this year it is not good, after being thoroughly studied by opponents, there is no real superstar for them to face ordinary playoff teams with superstars There is no advantage.

The main thing is in rebounding, this year the Hawks have conceded an average of 48 rebounds per game, almost one rebound per minute, the second-to-last in the league, and it is a miracle to still maintain a 50% win rate.

Today, the Hawks met the Lakers like this, the Hawks' overall style of play can make them play very anxious in regular time and the Lakers, but at the critical moment, Liu Ren on the Lakers' side stood up and scored 15 points in a row, and the Hawks did not have a player like this, under the leadership of Liu Ren, the Lakers took a lead of more than 10 points in the third quarter and maintained it until the end.

In the end, with Liu Ren's outstanding performance of 29 points, the Lakers won 112-103 without much suspense.

For this game, Liu Ren said that the egg hurts, he only scored 10 points in the first half, 15 points in the third quarter, and 4 points in the fourth quarter, and then D'Antoni replaced him.

It's obsessive-compulsive!

After playing the Hawks, the Lakers have four games left in a seven-game streak, playing the Pistons and Raptors back-to-back on the 7th and 8th, and then returning to the West to play the remaining two on the road.

The Lakers have a 1-1 record in two back-to-back games, and the strange thing is that the Lakers lost to the Pistons and won to the Raptors.

Playing the Pistons, the Lakers had a wide range of rotations, seven consecutive away games, that is, at least half a month in a row, the distribution of physical fitness is a very key issue, playing the weak team D'Antoni can be less on the main force, and if he can not be on the main force, the Pistons just surpassed the Wizards in eighth place in the East, and the Lakers did not take them to heart.

The Lakers sent LaVine, McCollum, Ci Shiping, Monroe, Biyombo starting lineup, originally D'Antoni thought this lineup was enough, but who would have thought that the Pistons' three point guards took turns to break out, Reggie Jackson, McCarvey, Jennings three combined to cut 57 points and 19 assists, McCarvey also got 11 rebounds, this point guard line saw who exploded, stunned the Lakers, and the Pistons upset the Lakers 109-102.

The embarrassed D'Antoni went into battle the next day when he played the Raptors, making the Raptors almost cry.

Lowry watched the score of 90-67 after the third quarter, and felt that the Lakers were really the most annoying......

……

……

On December 8 and December 10, the Lakers returned to the West to play against the Timberwolves and Spurs.

Kobe Bryant vs Garnett, Bryant vs Duncan.

Originally, people thought that this was a matchup of memories, but they didn't expect that when the Lakers played the Timberwolves, Garnett couldn't play.

Garnett's attendance this year is very average, reaching a new career low, basically playing one game and two games, he was born in 1976 and will be 40 years old by May next year, with a bunch of injuries, and it would be good to play occasionally.

The Timberwolves have really not made much progress this year, mainly because they don't have a good coach, and the head coach Sanders, who was about to bring the Timberwolves up, suddenly fell seriously ill shortly after the start of the season.

Sanders has run the Timberwolves for several years, and now he has formed a combination of Rubio, Shabas, Wiggins, Gion, and Towns, and he is about to produce results, and the Timberwolves' system in recent years has also been built by Sanders himself.

So the Timberwolves have become young players again this year, but from last year's Wiggins to Wiggins and Towns.

Without Garnett, the Timberwolves' strength is so bad, and only Whiteside and Green are left to watch the game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves.

Downs was good, but when he went to the outside, he met Green, and when he came back to Whiteside, he was broken.

Whiteside is very vindictive, he deeply remembers the opening game by Downs, the "erection child", stepped on the throne, and discussed with Green to torture Downs to death.

Downs finally realized what it means to be XX for a while......

115-80, the Lakers beat the Timberwolves by 35 points.

didn't see Kobe vs Garnett, fans think it's good to watch Kobe vs Duncan, after all, Garnett has basically begun to fade out of the league in the past two years, and Duncan is still a starter in a top team that is third in the West.

Kobe vs Duncan is indeed a very good selling point, but D'Antoni and Popovich seem to have a very tacit understanding between the two of them.

D'Antoni was okay, but he took Kobe, Green, Biyombo, and Clarkson off in rotation, and Popovich was even more ruthless, directly resting the starting five.

Popovich has more vision than D'Antony, and he doesn't fight for the record at all, and it is enough to stay at the top of the division and let the Warriors take the limelight.

There is a saying that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, Popovich has clearly felt it when he reached the Finals and won the championship in the previous two years, so this time they have a lineup that does not lose to the Lakers and Warriors, but they often take turns and rest, and they don't care about the record at all.

However, to Popovich's surprise, D'Antoni also opened up, replacing the former D'Antoni, who was definitely the main force when he met the Spurs, and this time he actually replaced the four main rotations and the best defensive players to rest.

When D'Antoni saw the lineup sent by Popovich, he could only curse the old fox.

Both of them thought about going together, and losing to each other would not affect the final record, and the two teams were still ranked second and third.

But if the Lakers lose to the Warriors first and then to the Spurs, it will give people the feeling that the Lakers can't beat either the Spurs or the Warriors.

And the Spurs lost to the Lakers, and the Lakers lost to the Warriors before, which will give people the feeling that the Spurs are far inferior to the Warriors.

Whoever loses will be looked down upon, and there must be a loser in both teams, so D'Antoni and Popovich are vying to be the loser.

Although Popovich is now waterproof and will give people the feeling of deliberately losing, as the season progresses, as time passes, people can only look back and see a cold record, which is the Spurs' first game against the Lakers this season.

D'Antoni didn't expect Popovich to dare to do so, and the starting five were directly rested, and the Spurs almost gave the victory to the Lakers.

109-91, the Lakers didn't take much effort to get three straight wins.

……

……

20-3, a gratifying record, although not as good as the Warriors' opening 24 consecutive wins, but over the Spurs' 18-5 and the Cavaliers' 18-6, it still has a certain advantage, and it is still firmly in second place in the league for the time being.

After playing the Spurs, the Lakers finally returned to Los Angeles after a two-week hiatus, the Lakers had three days off, and D'Antoni gave the players two days off, and the 15th was the day before the game against the Rockets.

Liu Ren didn't go home for two weeks, and after arriving in Los Angeles, he went to a nightclub to find a good match with some bad teammates, and he returned to Beverly Hills as soon as possible.

Liu Ren thought that when he returned home, he would first receive a loving hug from Little Lori, then a hug from a chick, and then a gentle shoulder squeeze from Big Lori, because he sent a message to Xiaoniu before he left in the morning saying that he would be home in the morning.

But when he got home, he didn't even open the door, and Liu Ren had to find out the electronic key by himself.

Depressed walked into the villa, thinking that this group of girls was too lazy to come out to greet him, and they all entered the villa, there should be a loving hug.

But Liu Ren, who walked into the living room, felt a strange atmosphere, the little Lori seemed to be happy, and a little entangled, and the big Lori hugged the more than one-year-old mini Lori Xuexue seemed to be a little worried.

The chick seems to have some atmosphere.

"What's wrong with you? The atmosphere seems to be a bit heavy. Liu Ren couldn't help but open his mouth to express his existence.

Little Lori finally saw Liu Ren, and immediately ran over, hugged Liu Ren's thigh, and Liu Ren hugged Little Lori up.

"Uncle, mom is going to give birth to a little brother, and Betty is going to have a second little sister besides Xuexue." Betty said excitedly, but then she was very distressed: "But will my mother hurt Betty if she has a new little brother and sister, my uncle must like Betty the most, Mom doesn't want Betty, Betty will marry her uncle as a little wife." ”

What a messy logic, Liu Ren patted Betty's little head, Betty stuck out her tongue and then lay in Liu Ren's arms and couldn't get down.

Liu Ren knows why the atmosphere is so strange today, it turns out that Monica is pregnant!

I can't see it! Liu Ren knew that Monica didn't have a boyfriend, but he didn't expect to get pregnant, there was no other possibility except for dating that friend, and looking at this situation, it seemed that he didn't know what to do with this child, so the atmosphere was so strange.

Liu Ren always thought that Monica, a cold-faced and very mature beauty, was abstinent, but he didn't expect that suddenly the children would come out.

At this time, Liu Ren complained a little bit about the chick, you see that everyone in the family has experienced pregnant women in this family, the big Lori is pregnant with a child to be a nanny, and now Monica also has it, only the chick has no pregnant experience, and the chick has to do safety measures every time she applauds in love, and she doesn't want a baby for a long time, Liu Ren looked at the chick with resentful eyes.

The chick had already seen Liu Ren, but chose to ignore it, and she expected what Liu Ren was thinking, so she ignored it more decisively.

Big Lori, on the other hand, knows the bitterness of being a single mother, so she is very worried about Monica having a second child.

Liu Ren didn't know where to interject, and it seemed that there was no place to interject, so he chose to tease little Lori.

Just yesterday, during the year-end routine medical check-up of the chick company, Monica was tested to be pregnant! I was pregnant for about ten days, just the time to check it out, and the physical examination report was just sent to the chick this morning, so Liu Ren's family is like this now.

"Erin, you and that man didn't have any contact at all? My God, he slept like this for nothing and you still have a child, even if you don't want to marry you, at least you have to pay child support! "The chick is very angry, they have lived together for two years, and the three sisters in the family have a good relationship.

"This ......" Monica was a little embarrassed, "it was me who went to drink with my former college roommate, and half a month has passed, and I drank so much that day, I forgot what he looked like......"

"In this case, I will accompany you to New York to induce labor, the law in New York State is that labor can be induced within three months of pregnancy." Xiaoniu is a professional in law, and in the past two years, she has also studied American law at the University of Los Angeles, and she is already very professional and knows most of the laws in the United States except contract law.

Monica was just about to agree, but when she heard that little Lori was amused by Liu Ren and giggled, she subconsciously looked over and saw that Liu Ren and Little Lori had such a good relationship, just like their biological father and daughter, and instantly felt that it didn't seem so bad.

Monica hesitated for a moment and said, "No, I want to give birth, this is my child, I can't bear to kill him." ”

"You were originally a single mother, and now you may have to raise two children, you just paid off your previous debts, and now you can finally relax a little, and now you have a boy who can't even remember what he looks like, and you have to work very hard. And this is not to kill him, there are many laws in your United States that do not stipulate that the induction of labor within three months of pregnancy is not illegal, you have just become pregnant, and you don't even have a life structure. The chick persuaded.

"This ......" Monica didn't know what to say, and the chick made a lot of sense! But she just had the urge to give birth to the child now, or she felt that she would regret it.

Suddenly, Monica had a flash of inspiration......

"I decided to give birth anyway because I'm a Catholic and can't have an abortion." Monica is serious nonsense.

That's all for it, the chick knows that persuasion is useless, and Americans' religious beliefs are still quite serious.

After sighing, the chick said, "In that case, Irene, let's give birth!" Even if you don't have a man, we can take care of you. ”

The chick doesn't have to have Monica have a baby, but this "fool" made out of the species, which will indeed make her feel very awkward as a best friend, but Monica wants to have a child, of course she is happy, if Monica finds a loving boyfriend, and then has a child, the chick will be even happier for her.

The reason why the chick is so opposed is only because the newly-conceived baby doesn't even know who the father is, and he doesn't even have a name.

"En, Xiao Ai will also help Erin take care of the baby, and when the baby is born, Xiao Ai can help bring it, Xiao Ai likes children the most." Although the big Lori was worried about Monica, she still cheered for Monica, and just now the big Lori seemed to see that Monica was determined to give birth to this child after glancing at Liu Ren, and thought of an incredible hypothesis, but she didn't say it, but she chose to forget.

"Thank you." Monica was really moved this time, and there was a lot of shame in the touch.

"Thank you, we're all family, you see, your Betty has always wanted to be her uncle's little wife." The chick makes a joke to divert Monica's attention.

Sure enough, Monica was amused, she thought that the most interesting thing was that little Lori pestered Liu Ren to be his future little wife.

In short, that's it, Liu Ren's family is scheduled to have one more person, but for the time being, I don't know if it's Xiao Lori or Xiao Zhengtai......
