The January game officially ended with the Lakers taking over the Celtics.

　　 The Lakers ended their 35-game winning streak this month and also lost 3 games, but innocuously, the Lakers still dominated the league with 51 wins and 3 losses.

While the second Spurs in the West were still struggling for forty wins, the Lakers had expanded their advantage to an incredible level. At the same time, the rising star Bulls in the East this season were also eclipsed. They have only lost 50 games so far. Lost only 10 games, the negative record is firmly ranked first in the East, and the Heat's 32 wins are all left. This is also the fastest season for the Bulls to reach 40 wins after Jordan retired in the 98 season. Fengcheng Rose Rose , It can be said that it has officially bloomed.

　　 But the Lakers comparison is just as finished. The 11-game win gap almost pronounced the title of the league's first place this season. Unless the Lakers collectively lose sight in the second half of the season, he will not be able to catch up with Rose with eight horses.

　　 The Chicago media and Rose himself have only wry smiles. They now seem to understand the mood of the Hornets, Cavaliers and other teams in previous seasons.

　　 When you are struggling to perform at a historical level and are complacent, look up and see that the Lakers are waiting for you in a place where you can’t even smell the exhaust. Sometimes they turn back to greet you kindly and ask you to cheer...

　　 This feeling is really better than death.

　　 So the Chicago media, including Rose himself, have repeatedly emphasized that although they are so good this season, the best player is still the Lakers, not one of them.

Of course, taking it with one's mouth does not mean that it is also convinced in heart. Many Chicago media have a malicious guess in their hearts whether the Lakers will suddenly collapse. After all, there is still a gap between the performance in January and the previous months. I won't mention the loss of a few games, and many of the games have not been so dominant.

　　 And the first game in February further deepened their conjecture.

　　 On February 2, the Lakers played their first home game in February against the Rockets, a veteran team that is almost far away from the playoffs.

The Rockets opened higher and lowered this season. They won 14 games in the first 20 games, but after a 6-game losing streak, they returned to their original form. They are currently lost and ranked 11th in the Western Conference. They are 7 games away from eighth in the playoffs. It is a difficult number to catch up.

　　 Losing Tracy McGrady, dismantling Yao Mai, the Rockets centered on Yao, who has returned from injury, lacked the ability to take two penalties. As long as they defended Yao, they would win two-thirds.

The rest of the players, whether Scola or Battier, are qualified role players, unable to share the offensive pressure, and Martin, as always, plays three games and five games, and the state is unsustainable. Only Brooks and Budinger are There is no way to compete with the league's strong teams.

　　 But this team has caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers.

　　 In the beginning, Yao didn't play well in the paint. The Lakers contracted very tightly. The twin towers were almost inseparable. Sometimes the three of them teamed up to double-team Yao. This made Yao only 2 points in the first quarter.

However, in the second quarter, the Rockets changed their tactics and the offense was initiated from outside. After Brooks succeeded in taking Fisher several times, the Rockets gradually found the offensive feeling. In the second half of the second quarter, they instead played a wave of 12-4. , Will lead the score.

　　 The turning point occurred in the second half of the third quarter. The Lakers relied on Kobe's continuous 9-point performance to overtake the score, and then maintained it at 3 points. At the critical moment, Brooks wanted to repeat the old tricks and beat the old fish.

　　 However, Ji Feng had already prepared, helped defend an aerial cap, and directly grabbed Brooks' layup in his hands!

　　 Skills startled four people!

　　 Brooks himself is stupid, he just increased the arc deliberately, but he didn't expect to be caught by Ji Feng!

　　 This cap grabbing directly became the turning point of the game. The Lakers had a big win, scoring 8 points in a row at the last moment, taking an 11-point advantage into the fourth quarter and keeping the score to the end.

　　112-101, the Lakers defeated the Rockets by 11 points and won four straight.

To win is to win, but it is not easy to win. The Rockets’ tactics are appropriate, and tonight’s perimeter shooting rate is extremely high. Brooks got a season-high 35 points and Martin also scored 20 points. Although Yao only had 14 points, all The team's high shooting percentage makes the Lakers very uncomfortable.

　　 is the Lakers, Ji Feng scored a triple-double in rebounds, Kobe Bryant scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, JK scored 60 points together, and finally won, changing teams is estimated to have been cool.

　　 But this still gives a lot of media confidence. It seems that the Lakers will inevitably enter the volatility.

The fluctuations seemed to come as promised. On the 4th, two days later, Popovich led the Spurs to Los Angeles. This was the second time the two teams met in the season. The two teams competed against the Lakers over the Spurs in the first match. At first glance, he was rushing for revenge.

"The direct confrontation between No. 1 in the West and No. 2 in the West. This game is related to the ownership of the Western Conference this season. If the Spurs can beat the Lakers once in the regular season, it will be of great significance to their entire playoff journey." During the pre-match analysis, Director Zhang said.

　　 The Spurs thought the same way, so they didn't keep their hands at the beginning. GDP started with Bonner and Hill. This is the Spurs' strongest starting lineup.

　　 Tactically, Popovich changed the way he played offense in the previous game, but returned to his old defensive skills.

The two teams went from the scrimmage to 4 minutes, without a point, a total of 8 irons, creating the Lakers' most iron start of the season~lightnovelpub.net~ and the entire game was dragged to the Spurs defensive rhythm, halftime Sad 30-32, 66-63 in three quarters, although the Spurs have not led much, but considering the average 32.5% shooting rate of the two teams tonight, this difference is still difficult to track.

　　 As expected, in order to smooth out the three-point difference, the Lakers spent a full 11 and a half minutes. In the last 40 seconds, Ji Feng tied the score with a free throw!

　　86-86, both sides are on the same starting line!

In the last 30 seconds, the Spurs timed out. Old Duncan talked about it. After the Spurs failed their sideline tactics, Bonner Zhou Qi was possessed, and Parker was almost a buttery hand. Duncan made a leap to put his life and death out of his mind. Rescued, when he fell to the ground, he put the ball into Manu's hands and helped Manu score a crucial 2 points at the basket, and only left the Lakers 4.6 seconds of offensive time.

　　 Seeing that the Spurs are about to win, the Lakers have Ji Feng!

　　 Desperate three points!

　　 After the Lakers' sideline ball was sent, Ji Feng did not go to the three-point line at all, but shot directly with time.

　　 An extremely bold decision, Staples doesn't know how many people's hearts will pop out!

　　 But the result is exciting!

　　 Ji Feng beat the Spurs one meter away from the three-point line, ending the opponent's hope of winning, this season's first lore, and his 19th career regular season shot.

　　 The Lakers took the game with a one-point advantage 89-88, winning 5 consecutive victories!
