NBA: At the beginning, the Polish star was so angry that he was reborn

After suffering two consecutive losses, especially after losing to the Thunder, the Lakers fell into a huge public opinion storm.

You must know that a few weeks ago, the Lakers also defeated the Thunder. At that time, there was no Kobe, no Howard, no Nash.

It's impossible not to compare the two games.

The well-organized Lakers played into a mess instead.

易天12中6，三分5中2，罚球6中6，拿到20分5篮板6助攻；

科比22中10，三分4中1，罚球12中10，拿到31分4篮板4助攻；

霍华德7中4，罚球8中5，拿到了13分12篮板；

加索尔6中3，罚球4中4，拿到了10分7篮板；

纳什8中3，三分球3中1，罚球4中4，拿到了11分8助攻；

Correspondingly, Durant scored 37 points, Westbrook scored 32 points, and Ibaka scored 17 points and 10 rebounds;

Even Perkins had 10 points and 7 rebounds.

The Lakers were suppressed by the Thunder both inside and outside.

After the game, in an interview, Dwight Howard seemed very helpless.

"What can I do? I've only taken a few shots and honestly, I've never been so helpless.

I have an absolute advantage in the low post, if you give me tactics, I will not disappoint everyone, but..."

"What's the reason why you don't want to come out for the pick-and-roll during the game?" The reporter didn't intend to let Howard go easily.

"I had a pick-and-roll, have you ever seen a chance? I think it's the most efficient way to play," Howard said.

"Do you think there is a problem with Steve Nash's selection? How do you think the team should adjust?"

"It's a matter for the coach, I can only say that I do my job."

Facts have proved that Howard has not been able to do his job well.

He was regarded as the core of the team by "Magic" Johnson and Jenny Bassh.

"Magic" Johnson and Jenny Buss described a bright prospect to Howard. Kobe Bryant is already at the end of his career, and you are the new king of Los Angeles when you come.

With former MVP Steve Nash feeding you the ball and Yi Tian the best shooter to space you out, you will finish a fantastic season, win a championship, and go down in history.

The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

Since returning from injury, in 6 games, "Warcraft" Howard has only shot more than 10 times in one game.

Pick and roll, keep picking and rolling, but can't get a shot.

Keeping Kobe, Nash, and cover, this kind of "hard work" made Howard miserable.

What about the agreed-upon team building core, and what about the agreed-upon tactical tilt?

What's more terrible is that Howard's back injury did not heal quickly, which compromised his athletic ability and game focus. He lost his dominance of the penalty area, and his defense no longer had that suffocating felt it.

In the early stage, Kobe suppressed his desire to attack in order to accommodate Howard. Now that Howard's efficiency is getting lower and lower, Kobe decided that it is better to ask for others than to ask for himself, and he returned to the mode of last season.

This created a vicious circle, with the gap between "Warcraft" and "Black Mamba" getting wider and wider.

Yi Tian was caught in a dilemma, and Howard made it clear that he wanted to return to the offensive system in which Yi Tian dominated the offense.

But Kobe has no intention of giving in now.

After turning on the "Mamba" mode, Kobe's scoring average rose to 34.2 points per game in January, and the Lakers also won a wave of 8 consecutive victories!

And Kobe was also elected the best player in the Western Conference for the second and third weeks in a row. The third regular season MVP seems to be beckoning to the "Black Mamba".

This is fatal, no one will turn a blind eye to the honor, Kobe is the same.

Kobe Bryant believed that going back to last season's style of play, the Lakers can still win the championship, as long as Howard can do what "Little Shark" Bynum did last season.

Yi Tian didn't think he could convince the determined Kobe.

But Howard is not Bynum, and "Warcraft" cannot accept Bynum's position.

The most terrible thing is that injuries hit the Lakers again.

This time it was Pau Gasol who fell.

Although Gasol's data is not brilliant, his role is unparalleled.

In the game between the Lakers and the Rockets, Pau Gasol ushered in a career milestone, making his regular season career total score break through 15000.

Gasol became the 10th foreign player in NBA history to break through 15000 points, and at the same time, he was the first Spaniard to score 15000 points in the NBA.

But then in the game against the Nets, Pau Gasol will miss at least 20 games with a partial torn plantar fascia.

The internal and external balance maintained by Gasol collapsed directly, starting with the 89-93 loss to the Grizzlies.

The Lakers started a miserable six-game losing streak, losing eight of their 10 games.

The Lakers were successively surpassed by the Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors.

They have fallen to fourth in the Western Conference. If they hadn't accumulated enough advantages in the early stage, with the record of the Lakers entering 2013, they would not even be able to squeeze into the playoffs.

The Lakers' offense is not lacking in firepower. Even if Dwight Howard and Steve Nash are not in the state, it is enough to have Kobe and Yi Tian.

But the problem is that the quality of the Lakers' defense is worrying, and their scarred lineup cannot withstand the impact of young teams.

Howard's deterrence in the penalty area was greatly reduced due to his back injury; Kobe's energy was also limited in defense; as for Nash, alas...

Yi Tian misses "Little Shark" Bynum very much, that funny big man has become half a "China hand" under Yi Tian's infection.

To be honest, the relationship between Yi Tian and Bynum is definitely the strongest.

Now Bynum has arrived in Philadelphia 76-1, "Little Shark" is still paying close attention to Yi Tian's dynamics during the recovery period.

When Yi Tian was in full swing in December, Bynum happily talked with Yi Tian on the phone for half a night.

Now that the Lakers are at a low point, Bynum is very happy to eat melons. Who told you to trade me?

But after thinking about it, since he was still recovering, "Little Shark" was not so happy.

At least Howard can still play, and he can't play now, even if he is still in the Lakers, it seems that he will not be able to play any role.

The Lakers have a lot of problems here, and the Heat's winning streak on the other side has stayed at 27 games.

It was their old rival Chicago Bulls that ended the Heat's winning streak.

Facts have proved that the Bulls with Rose and the Bulls without Rose are definitely two-level teams.

In the past two seasons, Thibodeau has relied on his well-built defensive system to allow the Bulls to win the top seed twice in the regular season.

But once Rose was injured, the Bulls became an ordinary team on the edge of the playoffs.

It's the same this season.

Before Derrick Rose came back, the Bulls were slaughtered by the Heat for 38 points.

As soon as Rose came back, he showed the style of his heyday. He averaged 27.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game.

In the game against the Heat, Rose blasted "The Flash" Wade in the matchup.

他上场43分钟，拿到了42分4篮板7助攻3抢断的数据，带领公牛队主场101比97击退迈阿密热火，终结了热火的27连胜！

Ross used his strength to prove that when a rose blooms, the peak is still there!
