You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 268
At the end of the All-Star weekend, the Lakers, who did not disturb the situation through trade, had to move on with the original lineup.

In the home game against the Trail Blazers, Lamar Odom had 20 points, 17 rebounds and 6 assists, making him Mr. Key.

Two days later, in the same venue, in the Staples Center, Kobe killed the King with 36 points and 10 assists, and the Lakers won consecutive victories.

Next, they have to complete an away game that does not require a long journey.

The Los Angeles Lakers challenged the Los Angeles Clippers "away" at the Staples Center.

Ironically, this is clearly the home court of the Clippers, but there are far more fans supporting the Lakers than the Clippers.

The Clippers this season is a rare highlight season in team history, and they will have the opportunity to make the playoffs again after 9 years.

From the 80s to the present, the Clippers have reached the playoffs twice.

The last time they entered the playoffs, teams across the league wanted to be eligible to start in the draft and bring Tim Duncan home.The Clippers wanted to do the opposite. Everyone was doing badly, so he rushed to the playoffs with all his strength, and he really did it.

In the 2005-06 season, their team building ideas were clear and clear, with Elton Brand as the inside core, supplemented by Mobley, Sam Cassell, Chris Kaman and others, and they were qualified to compete for the playoffs.The strong inside advantage is just right for the Lakers.

In the same city derby, it's not a ruthless fight or a real brother.

The Clippers raised the game to the highest intensity as soon as they came up.

Then, Chris Mihm collided with his opponent with a knee and left the field injured.

What the fans were most worried about happened.

Mehm retired from injury, lost a steelyard inside, and averaged one of the scoring points in double figures per game.

Mihm, at first glance, doesn't have any great skills. Compared with the previous Lakers starting center, he is really inferior.But with the Lakers' current inside lineup, fans can rest assured that there is a meme around.There is no need for him to dominate the penalty area like a shark, as long as he stops the inside line, gets the rebounds that should be taken, scores the goals that should be scored, and everyone bears with the fact that the defense is ignored.

Once he is injured, with the Lakers' inside reserves, the explosion is a matter of minutes.

In the derby against the Clippers, when Mihm walked off the court with a painful expression, the Lakers fans in the Staples Center looked sad.

"I hope Chris is okay, the Lakers can't do without him in the penalty area!" Michael Thompson said truthfully.

Since Mihm was injured, the Lakers' position has been messed up.

The Clippers took full advantage of their inside advantage. Brand deserved the title of captain. Without Mihm, he dominated the penalty area and scored 40 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists against the Lakers, which perfectly reflected the gap between the two teams inside.

For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant made 29 of 12 shots and scored 39 points.

Wecha is the only Lakers player other than Kobe to score in double figures.

The chain reaction brought about by Mihm's injury and retirement led to a double-digit loss to the Clippers.

"We just hope Chris is okay," Versia told reporters.

It's impossible to be unharmed. Mim suffered a third-degree sprain and will be sidelined indefinitely from today.

"It's almost certain he won't be able to return during the regular season."

"Even if the Lakers make the playoffs, Chris may not be able to catch up."

"For the Lakers, the darkest hour has come."

Losing Mehm, and losing their starting big, left them with Brian Cook, Dwayne Jones, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Tony Kukoc.

Odom has played the third position for many consecutive games, and he has played well.

Kukoc is an old man who retired with one foot.

Before that, Bynum only averaged 6 minutes per game, and he couldn't even play the game from time to time.

Dwayne Jones can't play in other teams except the Lakers. Only the Lakers can give him an average of 14 minutes per game.Jones proved by his strength that it is reasonable for other teams not to give him a chance and not let him play.That is to say, the Lakers, who clearly knew that he was a trap, but because there was a shortage of insiders, even if it was a trap, they had to be used.

Mihm's injury has severely disrupted the Lakers' game plan, and the interior rotation will be seriously chaotic.

At the same time, Jim Buss slipped and knelt at home, Mihm's injury will give Bynum more opportunities.

While preventing the Lakers from introducing insiders, he still hasn't provided good reinforcement candidates, just for this moment.

Whether Jackson is willing or unwilling, it is up to him now.There is a shortage of insiders, and Bynum's playing time must increase.

Next, the Lakers will set off for the next away game, a special away game.

Their feud, the Boston Celtics.

For Wei Xia, the Celtics are too special. Their family, young and old, are inextricably linked with this team.

Grandpa "stealed" Havlicek, witnessed the glory of the Celtics in the 60-70-80s, and was also a season ticket holder for North Shore Gardens.His father, Wei Mingliang, is a diehard Larry Bird fan.And he, although he doesn't have any good feelings for the contemporary Celtics, his life was changed thanks to Havlicek.

He's a Laker when he's awake.

After falling asleep, he became a Celtic, looking at everything in the 60s from Havlicek's perspective.

The Lakers' team environment is complicated and unspeakable, and Weixia's ability to stabilize is closely related to the experience of the old days.

He lived and competed with a group of winners in the old days, watched their work, rest and habits, observed their style and character, and summed up a lot of experience.

Especially Frank Ramsey, whose experience as a sixth man has given Weisha a huge help.

Now, he will use what he has learned from this group of Celtic pioneers against the Celtics.

He was really worried that he might accidentally pass Pierce for Sam Jones.

The Lakers moved into the local hotel, and Wei Xia asked the team for leave. He will not participate in the afternoon training session. He will take a bus to visit his grandpa and grandma.

Since Wei Xia joined the Lakers, Jerry Wayne deliberately reduced his attention.He hated the Lakers all his life, booed the Lakers all his life, and as a fan of that fabulous team in the 60s, he watched the Lakers get defeated by the Celtics five times in the Finals.

He never thought that Wei Xia would become a Laker.

When Wei Xia came to his home, Wayne said directly: "I will go to the scene to watch the game, but don't expect me to support you, the Lakers will lose!"

"Filly, don't listen to his nonsense, he will definitely go to the scene to cheer for you at night." Grandma Gianna laughed.

Just as Wei Xia was relieved, his grandfather yelled unwillingly in his ears: "Even if I die, I won't cheer for the Lakers!"
