The All-Star Weekend ended, and the Lakers, who did not stir up the situation through trades, had to continue moving forward with their original lineup.

With the home game against the Trail Blazers, Lamar Odom made him the key man with 20 points, 17 rebounds and 6 assists.

Two days later, in the same venue, in the Staples Center, Kobe killed the Kings with 36 points and 10 assists, and the Lakers won consecutive victories.

Next they have to complete a road game that doesn't require a long trek.

The Los Angeles Lakers challenged the Los Angeles Clippers "away" at the Staples Center.

Ironically, this is clearly the home court of the Clippers, but there are far more fans supporting the Lakers on the spot than the Clippers.

This season's Clippers are a rare highlight season in team history, and they will have the opportunity to enter the playoffs again after 9 years.

From the 1980s to the present, the Clippers have only made it to the playoffs twice.

The last time he entered the playoffs, all teams in the league wanted to get the starting qualification for the draft, so as to bring Tim Duncan home. The Clippers insisted on doing the opposite. Everyone was playing badly, so he rushed to the playoffs with all his might, and he really did it.

In the 2005-06 season, their team-building ideas were clear and clear, with Elton Brand as the core inside, supplemented by Mobri, Sam Cassel, Chris Caman and others, and they were qualified to compete for playoff spots. The strong inside advantage was just right to play against the Lakers.

A city derby is not a ruthless move, not a brother.

The Clippers raised the game to the highest intensity as soon as they came up.

Then, Chris Mim collided with his opponent in his knee and left the field with injuries.

What fans are most worried about has happened.

Mim retired with injury, lost a scale in the interior, and one of the scoring points per game averaged in double digits.

At first glance, Mim was not very capable, and it was really worse than the previous Lakers starting center. But with the Lakers' current inside lineup, with Mim in, fans can at least feel at ease. He doesn't need to dominate the penalty area like a shark. As long as he stops the inside, he takes the rebounds he deserves, and scores the goal he deserves, and assists in defense and is ignored, everyone will endure it.

Once he was injured, with the Lakers' inside reserves, the explosion would be a matter of minutes.

In the derby against the Clippers, when Mim walked off the field with a painful expression, the Lakers fans in the Staples Center were full of sadness.

"I hope Chris is not in trouble, the Lakers' penalty area cannot be separated from him!" Michael Thompson told the truth.

When Mim's injury began, the Lakers' intent became messy.

The Clippers took advantage of their inside advantage to the extreme. Brand deserves the title of captain. Mim is not there. He dominates the penalty area and scores 40 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists against the Lakers, perfectly reflecting how big the inside gap between the two teams is.

On the Lakers, Kobe made 12 of 29 shots, and 39 points in the game, to no avail.

Wei Xia is the only Lakers player outside Kobe to score in double digits.

The chain reaction caused by Mim's injury retreat was lost to the Clippers by a double-digit gap.

"We just hope Chris is fine," Wei Xia told reporters.

It is impossible to be unhindered. Mim suffered a third-level sprain and started to fight indefinitely starting today.

"It's almost certain that he can't come back during the regular season."

"Even if the Lakers make the playoffs, Chris may not be able to catch up."

"For the Lakers, the darkest time has arrived."

Losing Meim and losing the starting inside, their inside reserves are only Brian Cook, Dwyane Jones, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Tony Kukoc.

Odom has played the third position for many consecutive games and is still playing well.

Kukochi is an old man with one foot retired.

Before this, Bynum only averaged 6 minutes per game, and he couldn't even play in the game from time to time.

Dwyne Jones can't play any other team outside the Lakers, and only the Lakers can give him averaging 14 minutes of playing time. Jones proves with his strength that it makes sense for other teams to not give him a chance and not let him play. That is, the Lakers, they know that he is a pit, but when the inside is short of people, they have to use it even if it is a pit.

Mim's injury seriously disrupted the Lakers' game plan, and there will be serious chaos in the rotation of the inside.

At the same time, Jim Bass slid and knelt at home, and Mim's injury retreat would give Bynum more opportunities.

While preventing the Lakers from introducing the inside, he did not provide good reinforcement candidates, just for this moment.

Whether Jackson is willing or not, he can't help him now. There is a shortage of people in the inside, and Bynum's playing time must be increased.

Next, the Lakers will set out for the next away game, a special away game.

Their feud, the Boston Celtics.

For Wei Xia, the Celtics are too special. Their family and their families are closely related to this team.

Grandpa "stole" Haflicke and witnessed the glory of the Celtics in the 1960s-70s-80s. He was also a season ticket holder of North Shore Garden. His father Wei Mingliang was a loyal fan of Larry Bird. Although he had no good feelings for the contemporary Celtics, his life was changed thanks to Haflicke.

He was a Laker when he was awake.

After falling asleep, he became a Celtic, looking at all the various things in the 1960s from the perspective of Havlicek.

The Lakers' team environment is complex and unspeakable. Wei Xia's ability to stabilize is closely related to his old experiences.

In the old days, he lived and competed with a group of winners, looked at their daily routines and habits, observed their style and personality, and summarized many experiences.

Especially Frank Ramsey, his experience as the sixth man gave Wei Xia a huge help.

Now, he will use what he learned from these pioneers of the Celtics to deal with the Celtics.

He was really worried that he accidentally mistook Pierce for Sam Jones to pass the ball.

The Lakers entered a local hotel, and Wei Xia asked the team for leave. He would not participate in the afternoon training class. He had to take a bus to visit his grandfather and grandma.

Since Wei Xia joined the Lakers, Jerry Wayne has deliberately reduced his attention to him. He has been against the Lakers for a lifetime and booed the Lakers for a lifetime. As a fan of the fabulous team of the 1960s, he witnessed the Lakers being defeated five times in the Finals by the Celtics.

He never expected that Wei Xia would become a Laker.

When Wei Xia came to his home, Wayne said directly: "I will go to watch the game on site, but don't expect me to support you, the Lakers will lose!"

"Phily, don't listen to his nonsense. He will definitely go to the scene to cheer you up in the evening." Grandma Jaina smiled.

As soon as Wei Xia relaxed, her grandfather heard her unwilling roar: "Even if I die, I will not cheer for the Lakers!"
