Earlier today, the NBA officially announced the full schedule for next season.

Among all the teams, the Los Angeles Lakers, as the league's top team, their every move during the season is undoubtedly the most watched.

There are two sets of data that best reflect the uniqueness of the Lakers. First, among all 30 NBA teams next season, the Lakers will still have the most nationally broadcast games, with a total of 39 games, surpassing the Warriors (36 games), Celtics (34 games) and Knicks (34 games), and also significantly surpassing the Western Conference's genuine championship contenders such as the Mavericks (30 games) and Nuggets (29 games).

In addition, the league has also adopted a new principle in this year's schedule, that is, teams will no longer play back-to-back games before and after the nationally televised games. Since the Lakers have the most nationally televised games, under the new principle, their number of back-to-back games will naturally be reduced. According to statistics, the Lakers will play a total of 13 back-to-back games throughout the new season, tied with the Celtics and other six teams for the least in the league.
