During the halftime break, the Lakers talked a lot of tactics, but the second half was still the same.

The score gap quickly reached 20, and only Gasol, the Lakers' three strong points, performed steadily.

Kobe finally broke out in the fourth quarter, but unfortunately it was already garbage time. Head coach Mike Brown didn't know what his psychology was, and there was no hope of winning. He still let Kobe play until the last second.

After the game, Mike Brown explained, "I want to see our players fight and fight. He did that, hoping that this will boost our confidence."

Kobe said that he was looking forward to the Lakers re-adopting more offensive routines that would allow him to get shots in the most comfortable area.

The team's record is not up or down, but Kobe leads the West in the All-Star voting.

Xiang Chu has nothing to do with the All-Stars now. At most, he is helping his teammates get votes. However, the All-Stars' votes are now inside players, that is, Dwight Howard, the first center player in the league.

The Lakers are about to fly to Orlando to play back-to-back away games, and Xiang Chu also has the opportunity to feel how strong the league's number one center is. Although this number one center is more strong on the defensive end, there is no dominant performance on the offensive end.

When the Heat James was taking the substitute, he scored one-star shots, and the Magic started the starting lineup was standard, but Howard was restrained in the inside and did not have the superstar-level ball rights like James.

Sometimes the Magic will turn into a group of outsiders and make crazy moves outside, and Howard will turn into a blue-collar rebounder. This is also related to this guy's lack of offensive methods.

Miami to Orlando is not far away, but it is definitely not that good to play outside and rest.

What Xiang Chu cares more about training is that he has no chance to practice more, and he is extremely bored in the hotel.

He wants to play the game quickly and restore his comfortable home life as soon as possible.

There are also players in the Magic who cannot play. Xidu Tkoglu has injuries, but Tkoglu is no longer in his peak period, and it is not as powerful as the Heat Wade's absence. JJ Reddick, who replaces him, has better shooting ability.

The Magic now have excellent three-pointers in the starting lineup except Howard. The bench is their biggest signing of Glen Davis in the summer. Originally, Glen Davis and Redick were both inside and outside on the bench, but now Redick is starting, and their outside line on the bench is mainly veterans.

But they are basically the same type, mainly based on projection ability. From this point of view, Magic's team building policy is really simple.

The Lakers still have the same starting lineup. Unless Mike Brown brings Artest to the start, it will be difficult for their current lineup to make adjustments.

At the beginning of the game, Kobe did not barely attack, but the rest of the Lakers were completely unable to open the situation.

Bynum is usually very arrogant, but when he meets Howard, he basically withered, and Gasol does not have the same feeling as when playing against the Heat. The Lakers quickly fell behind by 10.

Xiang Chu got the chance to play against Howard as he wished. One was that Bynum could not hold on for a foul, and the other was that Magic seemed to have no intention of letting Howard rest.

The Magic's lineup is also weird, and there is not even a formal center substitute. Usually, they usually use Glen Davis to top it. Today, they will fuck Howard if they encounter the Lakers' strong inside line.

It seems that fucking core players is a trick that many coaches in the league can do, but there must be some considerations about how to fuck them. You can't fuck them every game, otherwise something will happen.

Howard is worthy of being the number one center in the league now. Xiang Chu felt it when he went up. This was the most troublesome guy he had ever encountered since entering the league.

This guy's bounce is really great. Howard has a large range of defense, Xiang Chu has no chance to steal any of them, and he is really strong in grabbing rebounds.

In terms of rebounding sense, Xiang Chu may have reached Howard's level, but if the two of them felt the rebounding point at the same time, it would be difficult for Xiang Chu to compete for the other party. It was because of the bounce, Xiang Chu's bounce was much worse. After all, the rebound fell from a high place.

Xiang Chu could not compare with his weight, only he had a smaller advantage in height.

In the first half, Bynum had 1 point and 3 rebounds, Xiang Chu had 4 rebounds, and both of them had three fouls and suffered a crushing defeat.

Kobe started to get angry since the second quarter, but he couldn't stand it alone. The Lakers' situation was worse than yesterday's Heat.

In fact, Howard didn't score a lot. He stood inside and the rest of the Magic shot three-pointers desperately outside, feeling like playing computer games, which fooled the Lakers.

As a Lakers legend, O'Neal was quite Bynum before, but now he has been slapped in the face together. Bynum feels like a child in front of Howard.

During the intermission, the Lakers' locker room became quieter.

This time, Xiang Chu was also a little irritable. Xiang Chu felt a sense of urgency if he couldn't beat the rebound. He just had magic skills, but he still had to keep up with his physical fitness.

Just make more money. He must hire a trainer, and it is better to have a nutritionist. If you think about it, it seems that you have to maintain a team. You must become a star and get a high salary.

Alas, let’s hire a physical trainer first. You should be able to afford it this summer. If you save money on your daily life, you will be a little frugal.

It seems that he has always been frugal, becoming stronger, becoming stronger.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiang Chu calmed down. When he was playing against Howard in the first half, he was still a little anxious in the defense. At this time, he had to learn from Gasol, and he couldn't fight.

If he raised his arms, Howard would be affected by using a small hook, and he would do this in the second half.

If Howard could squeeze in and knock him out, Xiang Chu would admit it.

However, Howard is not the bug-level O'Neal, so the method is definitely more difficult than it is.

In the third quarter, the Lakers' defense was better, but the offense still showed no signs of improvement.

They are too far behind, and it is obviously not possible to just improve their defense.

When Xiang Chu appeared on the court again, he had already adjusted his mentality. If there were any gaps, he had to face them. He wanted to do better under the current circumstances.

When facing Howard, he tried to consume the opponent, but tried not to foul, but just used his long arms to interfere. Although the first center inherited O'Neal's free throw percentage.

The Magic leads by more than ten points and does not allow Howard to rest, and the Lakers also do not allow Kobe to rest.

Kobe scored 30 points in the end, but the team still has a lot of gap from victory.

The two consecutive away losses are already very evident. The Lakers' lineup is still far from competing for the championship. Not to mention the number one position, at least a substitute with firepower is needed.

Xiang Chu only made a foul once in the second half and scored 2 points. He felt that he had made progress.

Although in front of Howard's double 20, the Lakers' inside players were very embarrassed.
