Chapter 424. 424. End of Streak
Hayward, an NBA player, a top player in the North American College League, who might have played professional games if he hadn't entered the NBA, came to Liu Ren's house again for a meal.

Every time Hayward comes to Los Angeles, nine times out of ten he leaves sadly. Since the 06-07 season, the Jazz have not won against the Lakers for the 9th consecutive year.

This is not all that Hayward thinks Los Angeles is a sad place. Since Hayward entered the NBA, Paul just joined the Clippers. Originally, the Jazz led by Deron couldn’t beat the Lakers and took the Clippers. Now they are playing the Clippers. It's hard to win one game after being abused continuously.

Salt Lake City fans and Jazz players said they didn't want to come to Los Angeles at all, but they had to.

"I am also very desperate, I am also very helpless..."

That's what Jazz fans and players are saying.

For the Lakers who are aiming to make history, after losing to the Pacers and Wizards, especially the Warriors, they realized that they are not truly invincible, and they will still lose if their opponents find a way to deal with them.

The Warriors who have already run in are the Lakers' strongest opponent in the West.

In addition to strong opponents, if other teams break out, or the Lakers themselves do not pay enough attention to their opponents, are not in good shape, etc., just like they didn’t shoot at all when they were playing against the Wizards, or they were too careless when they were playing against the Pacers. Losing made that great wish unfulfilling.

Especially in order to avoid encountering the situation of the Pacers last season, D'Antoni often rested the main players, which made the young Lakers players even more afraid to be careless.

Especially McCollum, Green, and Whiteside, the three guys who want to make a name for themselves.

Then the Jazz once again felt the deep malice of Los Angeles. The starting lineup composed of Clarkson, McCollum, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside, LaVine, Nick Young, Korver, Antetokounmpo, Sarah The bench lineup formed by Klay abused the Jazz by more than 30 points...

……

……

On the second day after the game, both the Lakers and the Jazz rested. The Jazz rested for three days after beating the Lakers, and the Lakers played against the Grizzlies at home after a one-day rest.

Therefore, the head coach of the Jazz asked the players to play in Los Angeles for a day before returning to Salt Lake City, and then Korver went to Liu Ren's house for dinner again, saying that he wanted to make up for his injured soul.

Then Kobe, Clarkson and LaVine came to Liu Ren's house for a meal together.

After dinner, they played video games on Liu Ren's indoor basketball court. The game expert Hayward finally found a chance to abuse Kobe and Liu Ren.

However, Kobe was stunned and refused to admit defeat. After losing, he continued to pull Hayward to fight to the death.

In the end, Hayward was about to throw up playing the same game, and he couldn't keep playing until he was won by Kobe before it was over.

Hayward slumped on the sofa and wailed: "God, I will never play games with Kobe again, he is too crazy in every way."

"Hmph, young man, you will have the last laugh only if you never give up." Kobe said proudly.

Hayward could only express his convincing, and asked after a short break: "Kobe, do you really want to break the Bulls' record? This is crazy!"

Kobe curled his lips: "It's just that group of kids like you who want to do big things to attract attention. It doesn't matter to me whether I come in first or eighth. My goal is only the championship."

Believe in you, there are ghosts!Hayward saw that Kobe's eyes were full of fighting spirit and a little bit of complacency, so he knew that this guy was definitely striving for this goal.

That is another great boost to surpass Jordan!

Although due to various reasons in the previous four years, the Lakers failed to continue to win the championship and Kobe lost the opportunity to surpass Jordan, but if he can surpass Jordan in some aspects, Kobe will fight!

But Kobe is an old-timer, so of course he has to say that he doesn't care.

Hayward felt very tired talking to Kobe, and Kobe liked to use words to educate others more and more. Although the Kobe Hayward met in his rookie year who taught others in the game was more cruel, he felt that he could accept it...

Hayward thinks it is better to talk to young people. Clarkson and LaVine went to practice again. Clarkson has become the starter, and LaVine is still the fourth point guard. LaVine said that he will work hard!Of course, Clarkson didn't want LaVine to surpass him, so he worked hard together, so the only person Hayward could communicate with was Liu Ren.

Liu Ren was teasing little Lolita at the billiard table, and Hayward rushed over.

"Boss, do you really want to break the Bulls' record?" Hayward asked the question again.

"Huh? Breaking the Bulls record? No, no, no, we're just making records."

"What's the difference?"

"Of course it's very different! We are the strongest in history! Look at our lineup, and then look at your lineup. Really, it is only natural that we have the strongest record in history. This is our own record... eh Hey, Gordon, don't go..."

Hayward felt that it seemed difficult for the Lakers to communicate normally!He extremely suspected that it was not a wise choice for him to get so familiar with these people, as if he had the feeling of turning himself into two.

But Hayward is really envious of the atmosphere of the Lakers, confident and harmonious, even Kobe can eat at the same table and play video games on the sofa with someone who wants to take his boss position...

……

……

On the 14th, the Lakers ushered in a challenge from the Grizzlies at home.

The Lakers have a lot of experience playing against the current Grizzlies. If it was the Grizzlies before, the Lakers would have to lose their skin if they wanted to win. The few times they played against the Grizzlies last season, they either lost or narrowly won. They fought until the last moment, which can be described as miserable.

But this year's Grizzlies are a weakened version of the Eagles. They have turned into a brisk style of play, and they have indeed made the Grizzlies, which are about to collapse, a strong team in the Western Conference again, but they have lost the original toughness.

The Grizzlies have changed from a hard-blooded team to a shooting team. As long as they don't feel good, they will become difficult to play.

But when they feel explosive, it is difficult to play.

Today the Lakers encountered the Grizzlies who felt hot to the touch.

The Grizzlies gave the Lakers a bad start at the beginning of the game. Conley and Jeff Green hit 5 consecutive three-pointers and beat the Lakers 15 to 6.

Of course the Lakers were not to be outdone, Liu Ren and Kobe scored consecutively and quickly caught up with the score.

When the Lakers rotated in the 7th minute of the first quarter, the score had caught up to 19 to 22 and was only three points behind.

When it comes to the second team, it is the absolute strength of the Lakers. No team in the league can match it. Just when the Lakers want to turn the score over by relying on the bench, the Grizzlies feel like they are contagious. Likewise, their substitutes also exploded.

The pair of Carter and Courtney Lee used three-pointers time and time again to stabilize the situation when the Lakers were about to catch up.

After the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 35 points 40 to 5!
The Lakers' 35 points in a single quarter is already terrifying, but who knew that the Grizzlies actually scored 40 points in a single quarter!
A fast counterattack team like the Grizzlies is easy to restrain. This is the reason why they have become mediocre after being amazing this season, but once they feel good, other teams really can't do anything about it.

Then from the second quarter, the Lakers entered the abyss of chasing points...

62-70 after the second quarter and 99-87 after the third quarter.
It's not that the Lakers' defense is not good, it's not that the Lakers' offense is not good, but the Grizzlies just exploded!
In the end, Kobe and Liu Ren scored 75 points together, still unable to prevent the Lakers from losing to the Grizzlies 105 to 113.
