Since December, the Lakers' results have been very stable.

After defeating the Hornets until December 15th, the Lakers only lost two games in half a month.

Lost to the Jazz and the King respectively.

Against the Jazz, Stockton and Malone's pick-and-roll taught the Lakers a lesson.

Even though Xie Yin scored 17 points and 12 assists, which was not inferior to Stockton, he still couldn't stop Malone from scoring 34 points.

Malone didn't have a scoring champion in his career. It's not that he wasn't strong, but that he happened to meet Jordan.

From the 1988-89 season to now, three seasons have passed, and Malone has been second in scoring for three years!

The most outrageous thing is that in the 1989-90 season, Malone averaged 31 points per game but failed to win the scoring title.

Before Durant became the second child, Malone was already the king of the second child.

Karl Malone is just Jordan’s personal second child.

Therefore, Malone's scoring ability is underestimated.

Such a top scorer at the fourth position immediately wiped out all the Lakers' interior players.

ac. Green was tortured to death, but Divac couldn't do much to help.

Because early double-teaming is not allowed during this period, you often have to wait for Malone to catch the ball and Divac rushes over.

But Divac's defense was too slow and sometimes Malone scored the ball before Divac's men arrived.

The same happened in the loss to the Kings. James Worthy scored 33 points in a single game to avenge the Lakers.

The former Lakers big brother's coquettish moves without the ball made Green reluctant to follow.

And it is difficult for Divac to provide effective help.

Fortunately, in the Kings game on the 15th, the Lakers completed their revenge.

The adjustment the Lakers made in the second game was also very simple, using Xie Yin to defend Worthy!

In the first game against the Kings, Xie Yin mainly faced off against Lionel Simmons, who had beaten him in the summer league before and had always been a success.

In the previous summer league meeting, Simmons was feeling hot, so he scored 21 points on Xie Yin and won.

And now Xie Yin has upgraded the "Shooting Like Moji" badge to silver quality, so he defends Simmons as Simmons.

Although Worthy went crazy in the first matchup, Simmons was defended and only made 4 of 14 shots in the game.

I did three without touching it.

The Kings management was filled with regret. At that time, they felt that Simmons could become a big star, so they decided not to add new rookies and decided to trade Xie Yin for Worthy.

The Kings management was still complacent when they saw Simmons defeat Xie Yin in the summer league.

In the end, it was all played by you, Xie Yin, right!?

After the Kings won the first game, the second time they met Xie Yin on the 15th, he defended Worthy.

Simmons is no longer worthy of Xie Yin's personal defense.

This move had an immediate effect. Faced with an opponent who was faster, longer, and younger than himself, Worthy was at a disadvantage in all aspects.

[A book-chasing book recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years,@

Without him, we would not be able to fight positional warfare."

Dunleavy refuted Carlisle's desire to trade Divac at a regular front office meeting.

Carlisle felt that Divac couldn't keep up with the fast break and was too slow to help defend, so he really had no place on the Lakers.

It would be better to replace him with a jumping male big man with strong athletic ability, which may be more suitable for the Lakers' system.

Divac is really good at coordinating positional attacks, and he is also good at diving.

But these are not the keys to the team's victory.

Dunleavy, who likes traditional offensive and defensive positions, values ​​​​Divac very much. In fact, Divac was helped by Dunleavy.

After he took office, he immediately asked the then second-year Divac to serve as @

of apple.

"As long as I don't disturb you, I just wanted to ask, do you have time during the Christmas holiday?

I want you to watch the game against the Bulls on the 23rd.

For Christmas, the team gave me some front-row tickets, but none of my family were here, so...

Do you have the time?"

"Yes, yes, school is on holiday for Christmas!" Connelly nodded, but regretted it after agreeing.

Did I agree too quickly?

"That's great. If you can, come one night early so I can pick you up at the airport.

It's great, you don't have to spend Christmas alone.

Then I’ll meet Jennifer then, bye!”

"goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Connelly held the receiver to her chest, her heartbeat speeding up crazily.

Don’t you have to spend Christmas alone?

Is Xie Yin inviting me to spend Christmas with him?

this......

Should I bring some gifts?

Xie Yin, who was at home, looked at his empty mansion and smiled bitterly.

Although Xie Yin is not in the habit of celebrating foreign festivals, the festive atmosphere on the streets of America during this time is really strong.

I saw Xie Yin snapping up Xie Yin several times while driving.

It is indeed a beacon of freedom, and it is free to buy New Year’s goods.

This is how you can eat peanuts easily when preparing New Year’s goods.

The festive atmosphere is so strong but Xie Yin is alone, which makes her feel somewhat empty.

Now it’s great to have someone to spend the holidays with.

The inner emptiness is resolved, then...

You can concentrate on Danzi!

Xie Yin will never allow any negative emotions to affect the game on the 23rd!

Connery thought Xie Yin finally remembered him, but in fact Xie Yin still had a group of muscular men in his mind.

I'm still thinking of the most perverted one among them.

Although the 25th is the Christmas war, for Xie Yin, the 23rd is the serious Christmas war.

If we play against the Clippers on the 25th, we can win if we have the right hand.

Moreover, Xie Yin's "Tiandao rewards those who work hard" defensive training bar is almost full.

Xie Yin is going to give Danzi a hard blow!

So in the following week, Xie Yin and Connelly were busy.

Connery shuttles through the mall every day, struggling with what gift to buy for Xie Yin...

Xie Yin pulls Cooper to train every day, trying to get the defensive badge before the 23rd.

Christmas was coming soon, and old Cooper stayed out all night. His wife thought he had someone outside.

It wasn't until she came to visit one night and saw Cooper being tortured to death by Xie Yin that she realized how hard her husband worked for this family.

While training, Xie Yin is also leading the team to continue winning games.

The Lakers have won two of the last three games, and the only loss was to the Pistons, who have not yet completely collapsed.

In that game, Xie Yin scored 22 points and 7 assists on his own, but his teammates were held back by the Pistons' strong defense.

Old Curry made 5 of 16 shots, Perkins made 5 of 14 shots, and Divac was only made 4 of 10 shots by Laimbeer.

Under the muscular defense of the Pistons, they couldn't find any offensive feeling at all.

And because of Rodman's presence, the number of offensive rebounds between the two sides that night was 16 to 8. The Pistons grabbed all the rebounds!

In this game, the Pistons were as wild as ever, with a lot of physical contact.

Xie Yin was hugged and thrown by Rodman or Laimbeer many times.

But because he didn't want to miss the game with the Bulls, Xie Yin has been more tolerant.

But even so, the two sides almost clashed several times.

The closest they got to each other, Xie Yin and Rodman almost hugged each other and bit each other, but Perkins saw this and quickly pulled the two away:
