At the end of the first quarter, the score reached 35:28! The Lakers led the Suns 7 points to enter the second quarter! The gap between the two teams was revealed again in the second quarter!

The Suns traded the Sharks not only to send away their defensive core Sean Marion, but also to several substitutes! This has led to the Suns' substitute becoming weaker! Originally, the Suns' substitute was not as good as the Lakers, and now it is even worse!

The situation on the court was once very awkward. The Suns had not scored in nearly 3 minutes! The Lakers did not hold back and directly scored a 10-0 wave! The score suddenly widened to 45:28! The Suns were still two points away and were 20 points behind the Lakers!

Barkley, the former Suns celebrity, said without any pain, "Oh! It can be seen from the Suns' substitute that this is a loss than trading the Suns!"

The grudge between Barkley and the Suns is actually not very deep. One is the former boss and the other is the team's merits! These two contradictions are also very common contradictions between profit and championship!

This is also a common problem for most teams in the league! After all, not all teams are Lakers and Knicks! It’s easy to say now that ordinary teams are in a profitable situation. As long as it’s not a big problem, it’s okay to support it, but in the era of Barkley!

The team boss really doesn’t have any profitable means, so naturally there are not many contracts for the players! He won’t say anything about signings or anything! Barkley has been fighting for the Suns for the rest of his life and has fought with Jordan for the rest of his life. He doesn’t think about anything, just wants a championship!

However, the Suns boss's economic situation was not very good at that time. It would be great to support the team and not sell. There is no capital to sign up!

This led to Barkley's subsequent visit to the Rockets to hug Olajuwon's thigh! This was a very common deal, but Suns fans thought that Barkley had rebelled and went to the Rockets in the same district. When the Rockets played against the Suns, Barkley thought that the fans would welcome him home, but when he came on the court, he was booed by the whole audience! As for whether there was a team arrangement behind this, Barkley still believed that the management at that time did this on purpose!

Not to mention that the Suns also introduced the Big Sharks that have a grudge against Barkley!

D'Antoni immediately called a timeout! This is not enough. If you continue, the Suns collapsed in three quarters without four quarters! But after the timeout, D'Antoni didn't know how to arrange it! Looking at his players, he sighed helplessly and changed Sir and Barbosa to the court!

Among the main players, these two are young and energetic! But D'Antoni had already anticipated the subsequent game: the Lakers' main players still have physical strength, and the main players on their side are consumed one after another! He can only lose!

This is true! Although Sir and Barbosa played to help the team save the score, they consumed a lot of energy! When the Lakers also replaced the main player, Sir and the others could only watch! O'Neal wanted to stand up and score the goal, He Yiming directly activated the effect of the violent potion and restricted O'Neal to outside the penalty area!

O'Neal had no choice. The only killer was blocked, and the Suns' main force had almost consumed. Even if D'Antoni wanted to play fast attack, he couldn't fight!

The situation tilted towards the Lakers little by little!

.........

In the last quarter, the main players of the Suns did not play. They used all their strength to chase points in the third quarter, and now they have no energy to continue fighting!

But the score was not caught up, 88:75! The Lakers are still 13 points ahead of the Suns, and are still expanding now!

Since O'Neal did not play, He Yiming did not play either! The two teams are now playing against the bench! But the scene is exactly the same as in the second quarter! The Lakers substitute is against the Suns!

D'Antoni looked at the players on the court with a look of sorrow. He looked at the main players who were still breathing heavily! He sighed in his heart!

In the fourth quarter, D'Antoni did not continue to send the main players to the field! He surrendered to the Lakers in disguise, and the Zen master did not kill them all!

By the end of the game, the Lakers only maintained the score at the lead of 10! 110:100! This is also the lowest score since the two teams met this season, but it is also the last time the Lakers and the Suns played in the regular season this season!

Kobe was having a good time in this game, and this was his first victory against O'Neal!

The previous Christmas battle didn’t count, it was because He Yiming went crazy and fought! Before, the Lakers had always lost against the Heat with the Sharks! This time they won the only time!

Kobe scored 35 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds in this game and got the MVP of the whole game! He Yiming didn't score many points in this game. His most important task was to limit O'Neal! He only scored 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists!

The Lakers ended with 48 wins and 12 losses, and their record was still outstanding in the league! The best player in the Eastern Conference scored in February was awarded to Kobe! This is the third time this season, He Yiming also won the best player of the month! Looking at the Lakers' current record, Kobe has no chance of running MVP this season!

After playing against the Suns, the Lakers still have 22 games in the entire game! Zen Master also arranged for the three coaches of the Lakers to take a rest in the following game!

Although the rounds were resting, the Lakers' record still exceeded 50 by mid-March, reaching 57 games, with 57 wins and 12 losses! The Lakers have a nine-game winning streak! Although the team behind them are still chasing, there is no chance! There are still the last 13 games in the game! It mainly depends on whether the Lakers can break through 70 wins!

However, the Zen master had no idea to break through 70 wins! In his opinion, as long as the playoffs are good, it is enough! There is no need for any record!

As of now, the Lakers' position in the West is gone! However, the position in the West is a bit erratic! The Nuggets and the Trail Blazers are both possible!

There is also the Warriors. After being defeated by the Lakers last season, they still retained their previous configuration this season. They are only 3 games away from the Nuggets' record!

The current Western Conference rankings are as follows: Lakers are first, Hornets are second, Rockets are third, and Spurs are fourth! These four teams are sure to enter the playoffs! The most terrifying thing is the Hornets. Under the leadership of Queen Bee Paul, they scored a record of 48 wins! It seems that they will definitely break 50 in the end! This may be the best record in the Hornets' history!
