419. What a feud this is
Originally, the Lakers' back-to-back games against the Pacers and Trail Blazers were deliberately arranged by the league, wanting to use the Lakers' difficult schedule as the selling point of the Lakers' game this month. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Lakers schedule in the first two months was very easy, although the league did not expect the Lakers to lose only three games, but they had expected the Lakers to have a good record in the first two months, and then arranged most of the strong teams to play against the Lakers in January to attract attention, and the title given on the official website was "Can the Lakers Conquer the Devil Schedule".
This month, the Lakers only have two back-to-backs, one is the Pacers and Trail Blazers, and the other is the Cavaliers and Jazz.
Although Paul George confirmed the season reimbursement in the summer, the league really didn't expect the Pacers to fall so quickly, and actually went directly to the top of the competition to sign.
The Lakers' back-to-back home games against the Pacers and Trail Blazers were all broadcast live in the United States, and the NBA broadcasters didn't expect that they thought that the Pacers were also the first in the East last season, and they could enter the playoffs without Paul George, and the Celtics had such a miserable lineup to stay in the seventh place in the East, and the Pacers had not entered the top ten in the East since the beginning of the season!
But this game is not without highlights, didn't the Lakers lose to the Pacers the last time they went to Indiana?
So, the title of the game was changed to "Can the Lakers Get Revenge".
For this title, it also attracted a lot of fans, but the process of the game made non-Lakers fans turn off their TVs or computers after watching half of the game.
The game is so suspenseless!
Except for fans who like to watch the crushing game, they can't stand it!
D'Antoni was furious after losing to the Pacers in the last game, so he didn't let Kobe Bryant and Gasol rest in the same back-to-back this time as before, but let them all play!
But the next game is to play the Trail Blazers back-to-back, the Trail Blazers are gaining momentum this year, and are fiercely competing with the Clippers and Rockets for third place in the West.
So D'Antoni ordered to go all out to knock the Pacers down as soon as the game started.
The Lakers players remembered the last loss to the Pacers, and the Lakers beat the Pacers at the beginning.
On the offensive end, Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren shot wildly, the two of them combined to score 35 points in the first quarter, and on the defensive end, Liu Ren and Green were everywhere, turning the three-point line into a no-shot area, and the three-point Pacers, who were already bad, were blinded, scoring only 10 points in the first quarter, and the Lakers started the first quarter with a 42-10 run!
In the second quarter, the Lakers did not stop, Clarkson, Korver, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, Whiteside, McCollum and others took turns on the court and crushed the Pacers with more brutal defense, this lineup that is faster and more flexible than the starter is equally powerful on the offensive end, Clarkson slowly showed his talent, easily broke through the progressive walkers inside to score, plus Korver's three points, Liu Ren's three points and air cuts, Whiteside's rebounds and Antetokounmpo's points, the Lakers played a score of 38-15 in the second quarter, At halftime, they led the Pacers by 55 points, 80-25!
At this time, the vast majority of fans have turned off the TV and computer, and the game has no suspense, as far as the Pacers' scoring state is concerned, even if the Lakers don't score a point in the second half, it will be difficult for them to turn the tables.
In the second half, the Lakers switched to a pure bench lineup, with LaVine, Clarkson, Nick Young, Antetokounmpo and Thackeray continuing to play.
The grieving Pacers players feel that they can finally chase the score back a little bit, right?
Even if you lose, you can't lose so badly!
The Pacers' perception of themselves is still at the top of the league last season, and they believe that this season's miserable situation is due to Paul George and David West's reimbursement, not their poor quality.
However......
When LaVine and Clarkson continued to tear apart the Pacers' outside defense with their physicality, Nick Young kept flying three-pointers, Antetokounmpo grabbed most of the rebounds, and even Thackeray used a single to lean on Hibbert to throw and shoot, the Pacers were completely confused.
Three of the Lakers' lineup are water cooler managers, but they are still stronger than the Pacers' all-main lineup in the third quarter!
The score was 33-20 in the third quarter......
The final quarter score was 29-25......
After leading by 55 points in the first half, the Lakers continued to widen the margin by 17 points in the second half......
At the end of the game, the Lakers slaughtered the Pacers by 72 points with 142-70!
72 points of victory!
The Lakers beat the 68-point deficit set by the Cavaliers over the Heat in 1991!
Liu Ren scored 17 points in the first quarter, 19 points in the second quarter, and 36 points and 7 rebounds at halftime.

"Hey, do you know how many points the Lakers beat the Pacers today?"
"I watched the game, and I led by more than 50 points in the first half, I remember, probably I will win thirty or forty points in the end, they are all NBA teams, the Lakers will not bully people so much, and I guess I will replace the main team in the second half."
"I only watched the first quarter and didn't watch it, the first quarter was more than 30 points, the Pacers have really become a loser, they can only chase points in garbage time, I guess the Lakers won by about 30 points."
