super small forward

Chapter 516 516. Poor Cartoon Dragon
No one thought that the beginning of the road to supremacy would become extremely severe because of the mere 76ers!

65 wins and 7 losses, in just ten days, they actually lost two games in a row!
Actually lost to the 76ers in a row!
If it is possible to do it all over again, the Lakers will definitely beat the 76ers from the beginning, so as not to let the opponent's momentum.

For a team like the 76ers, when they see an opportunity, they will bite the opponent hard and play with momentum, but if they are suppressed from the beginning, they will not be able to think of a comeback. The same goes for the assassin's sharp blade.

But if there is no if, the Lakers can only drink their hatred in Philadelphia.

Conversely, both the players and the fans of the 76ers were so excited that they were about to jump up, even though they knew that this game didn’t mean anything, whether they could make the playoffs or not, whether they should compete for the No. [-] pick or compete for the No. [-] pick , However, this represents hope!

Isaiah Thomas, Noel, plus a group of role players who look pretty good now. If Embiid is as good as people expected in the draft, this year's draft will select another powerful small forward or use this year's draft pick Traded to a better small forward, next season can be expected to rise!

Originally, the Lakers had a three-day break after playing the 76ers. D'Antoni was planning to return to Los Angeles first, and then go to Toronto to play the Raptors.

Because the NBA team division is relatively scattered, and the United States is so big, the schedule is more or less...It should be said that it is unreasonable in many cases. After the Lakers played the 76ers away game, they had a three-day rest and then went to the Eastern Conference to play an away game.

Originally, D'Antoni wanted to go back to Los Angeles first, but this time he didn't. Instead, he led the team to Toronto the day after the 76ers, and then booked a hotel to gather all the Lakers players together. There were two full days of meetings.

The content of the meeting was nothing more than a careful study of the opponents in the next ten games, trying to reach 73 wins as soon as possible, and then prepare for the playoffs!
The happiest people in this meeting are the role players. In order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the more marginal players, D'Antoni decided to let the main players rest after at least 73 wins. There are more performance opportunities!
The Lakers have ten games left in April, with a total of eight opponents. Two of the opponents who will play two games are the Clippers and the Kings. All games are in the West, which is very good news for the Lakers.

Some people are happy and some people are sad. This is an eternal law.

but……

The Raptors feel very sad. Why are the 76ers happy after the game against the Lakers, and they are the unlucky ones who are sad?

As the last game between the Lakers and the Eastern Conference this season, on April 4st, April Fool's Day, the Lakers came to the Air Canada Center in downtown Toronto with the grief and indignation of being swept away by the 1ers. Dragon team!
It's April Fool's Day!Of course, the Lakers have to give their opponents a "big gift".

As for the gift...

Beat them to death of course!

Dragon Slaying Warrior Kobe Bryant, Boss-Liu who must be rewarded, Runaway rookie Jordan-Clarkson, I am the second best in the world and dead Hassan-Whiteside, I want to call my mother Giannis-Ade when I get my salary Tokumbo...

The five-man team started, and from the beginning of the game, the Raptors led by the Dragon King brothers Lowry and DeRozan were fooled.

"Hey, what about the April Fool's Day gift you promised? Don't bring something like this!"

Lowry and DeRozan, a small fan of Kobe, watched Kobe, who loves to abuse small animals, once again incarnate at his peak, scoring 18 points in the first quarter!
That's okay, Lowry and DeRozan are both All-Star players, and they are able to support Kobe's madness, and they barely hold their respect.

but!

Lowry and DeRozan looked at Liu Ren, who was rampant in the paint, with all kinds of buttons, thinking that he hadn't offended this legendary guy whose eyes were as small as pinholes!
And that Whiteside, I know you are amazing!Don't work so hard when you play our Eastern Conference team!Even if you fight, you still have such a contemptuous expression, Nidaye...

All in all, all in all, the Lakers spread all the anger of losing to the 76ers on the Raptors, because they have no way to avenge their loss to the 76ers this year, and temporarily calculate the interest on the Raptors .

Before the Raptors figured out where they provoked the Lakers, the disaster fell on them...

In fact, after the Lakers upset the 76ers in a row, the remaining opponents of the Lakers in the regular season began to complain in their hearts. Every time the Lakers lost, they would explode. This has happened several times this season. They have lost so many times this season, so they are all sure of one thing, as long as the Lakers lose, they will explode...

Kobe Bryant, Liu Ren, and Whiteside scored 83 points and 35 rebounds in this game to lead the Lakers to slay the dragon again 127-103...

科比拿到41分，刘仁拿到22分14篮板，怀特塞德拿到20分20的双20数据，把猛龙队按在地上打。

Seeing the performance of the Lakers today, fans have complained.

"The Raptors can't compare to the 76ers? My God!"

"If we were as serious as we are today when we played against the 76ers, would we still lose?"

"It feels like the 76ers are cursed. Did they learn from the Wizards?"

Some domestic fans who went over the wall and went to the American forum to read the post saw this and couldn't understand it, so they transferred this post to China.

"Why do they say that the 76ers have learned from the Wizards? Wizards also have curses?"

"Upstairs, the correct Chinese translation of the Wizards is Wizards, they are joking."

"I also think the Lakers have the curse of the 76ers. The Lakers always have the worst teams that can always beat them when they are the strongest."

"And then it's bad luck for the next team that meets the Lakers."

"Haha, the upstairs is adding salt to the Raptors' wounds again."

……

After playing the Raptors, the Lakers flew back to Los Angeles early the next morning. On the [-]rd and [-]th, they played back-to-back home games against the Pelicans and Nuggets.

The Lakers continued to maintain a high morale in both games, wishing to tear the two teams to pieces.

Very decisively, neither the Pelicans nor the Nuggets chose to struggle. It is not so wise to go shopping with the current Lakers because they were swept by the 76ers. After working hard, the Pelicans and Nuggets, who gave up the Lakers' toughness, quickly surrendered. The Lakers easily won three consecutive victories and improved their record to 68 wins and 7 losses.

After the back-to-back games, the Lakers get two days off and then play back-to-back home and away games against the Clippers.
