At the beginning of this game, Chen Feng showed strong offensive power, scoring 17 points in a single quarter, leading the Lakers to 36:23 in the first quarter, leading the opponent by 13 points.
Now that he's officially established as the leader of the Lakers, tactical and otherwise, it's pouring out on him, so it's no surprise that he scores a little more.
Entering the second quarter, Chen Feng continued to break out, scoring points at critical moments, turning the Jazz's counterattack into futility, and at the end of the first half, the Lakers led the Jazz by 15 points at 60:45.
"Chen, good job, that's how you fight. Kobe smiled and patted the back of Chen Feng's head, very happy, originally worried that Chen Feng would become a leader all of a sudden, and he might not be adaptable. But now it seems that he has adapted well, and the number of shots has increased a bit, but the efficiency has not decreased much.
And, many times, he made a move at a critical time, fully playing the role of a leader.
Entering the second half, the Lakers once suffered a scoring drought, and Chen Feng also tried to shoot two, but he didn't feel good and failed to hit.
At this time, other people didn't feel good, the other party continued to chase points, he thought about it for a while, and then he already had a plan, and began to continuously impact the opponent's inner line, first causing the opponent to foul, hit the free throw, and then played a 2+1, one person scored 5 points in a row, and stabilized the situation.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Lakers were still ahead, and the touch of his teammates returned, so Chen Feng restrained his edge and gave more assists to his teammates.
In the end, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 126-107 to win another game.
In this game, Chen Feng scored 32 points, plus 11 assists and 5 rebounds, and the data was very dazzling, while Kobe's shots were further reduced.
Not because of Chen Feng, but for Yu Qian.
This season, if the Lakers want to hit the championship, Chen Feng is the most important link, and Yu Qian is also crucial.
Therefore, after discussing with Scott, Kobe Bryant decided to let Kobe Bryant make as few shots as possible in the regular season if it is not necessary, and give Yu Qian more opportunities so that he can grow up faster.
In this game, Yu Qian scored 26 points and did not disappoint Scott and Kobe.
......
A day later, the Lakers defeated the Rockets on the road.
Although Harden scored 37 points, plus 9 rebounds and 11 assists, Chen Feng also scored 35 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds, plus Yu Qian and Kobe, the Lakers beat the Rockets.
Since December, the Lakers have achieved a record of four wins and one loss, and have risen one place in the record standings, ranking third in the West, squeezing the Spurs, who were originally in third.
In these games, Chen Feng averaged 30+ points per game and 10+ assists, and his performance was amazing, and many people in the outside world finally realized that he had replaced Kobe Bryant and became the new leader of the Lakers.
Subsequently, the Lakers defeated the Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, Sacramento Kings, and Philadelphia 76ers successively, and the entire month of December, with a record of 9 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the league.
Under a series of victories, the Lakers also moved up the rankings again, squeezing the Clippers to second in the West, behind the Warriors.
The outside world was also shocked by the Lakers' performance during this period of time.
However, on December 18, the Lakers finally met a formidable opponent - the Cleveland Cavaliers.
As the defending champion, the Cavaliers are undoubtedly strong, and the Big Three of James, Irving, and Love are also powerful and amazing.
Compared with the Cavaliers, the Lakers' Big Three are much worse.
However, when the game started, the Lakers still played with momentum and even led the Cavaliers for a while.
But it didn't take long for the Lakers to be overtaken, James broke out, like a humanoid bomber, almost no one could stop him, rushing and killing at will, shooting outside, making layups inside, breaking through, and making fouls, but in one quarter, he scored 17 points alone.
On the Lakers' side, Chen Feng, Kobe, and Yu Qian also played well, but compared with the other party, they were still a little worse.
The key is James, he let Chen Feng see what dominance is, it can be said that if James wants to, there is no problem at all to score 40 points in a game.
Everyone knows that he has been playing this season, but even so, he has averaged 25 points per game.
In today's game, James scored 38 points, plus 10 rebounds and 7 assists, and Chen Feng scored 31 points, 12 assists and 3 rebounds, which is still a lot worse than James.
Yu Qian was also shocked.
This is the first time the Lakers have played against the Cavaliers this season, and Yu Qian is also the first time to play against James, who is also a small forward, giving him the feeling that James is more terrifying than Durant.
Durant feels like a swordsman, while James feels more like a king, overwhelming and unbeatable.
Against James, Yu Qian was completely crushed and couldn't prevent it at all.
And with James' defense, he only scored 14 points today, which is much lower than his average score this season.
"If we want to win the championship this year, the Cavaliers will be our biggest opponent. Bryant said.
"Hmm. Chen Feng nodded, this game made him realize that he was not strong enough, maybe he could hold up a team, but not enough to control a game.
After this game, the Lakers rushed to Charlotte to take on the Hornets on the road.
This game with the Hornets is the fifth game of the Lakers' consecutive road game (a full seven away games), because it only fought with the Cavaliers, and it was another consecutive road game, the Lakers players had physical problems, and finally lost to the Charlotte Hornets.
A day later, the Lakers won the Heat and then beat the Magic, and the seven-game road streak finally came to an end.
When he boarded the plane back to Los Angeles, Yu Qian's curiosity had disappeared, and what was left was endless exhaustion, and he was choking on this kind of consecutive away games for the first time.
Fortunately, this back-to-back away streak has come to an end, and their record is very good, with seven away games, 6 wins and 1 loss, and they are still in second place in the West.
And with the Lakers' performance during this period, when their road trip ended, ESPN also gave a new MVP ranking.
In the MVP rankings, Chen Feng ranked third on the MVP list with an average of 28.5 points and 10.0 assists per game in December, second only to Wei Shao and James.
In fact, with Chen Feng's data this month, he is still above James, but in terms of dominance, he is still inferior to James, so he only ranks second.
But even so, he is better than Kevin Durant, James Harden, Leonard, Anthony Davis and others.
