Chapter 169: The Anger of the Crane Tail

Yi Feng patted his buttocks and slammed the door in a chic manner, but it made the hearts of the two sisters who stayed in the apartment feel like they were roasting on the stove, both anxious and inexplicably painful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as he left, he didn't answer the phone, which really made the two sisters suffer a lot.

From morning to night, there has been no news of Yi Feng. Their mood goes from anger to worry, to peace, and finally to regret and self-blame, and the complexity is beyond words to describe.

Especially Tang Xuan, a 17-year-old girl, who is willful once in a while, but she has been treated like this.

Although her tone was really bad, although she did not give Yi Feng too much respect, wasn't she in a good mood?

She's all for her sister!

From a sister-in-law's point of view, she is not wrong at all!

But Yi Feng was angry with her. Although there was nothing serious, Tang Xuan knew that Yi Feng was angry with her. This is extremely rare in Yi Feng, who has always been indifferent.

This also gave Tang Xuan a deeper understanding of Yi Feng's personality, it turned out that he was not perfect, he would also be angry with women, and he would also make the little character slam the door.

Yi Feng's imperfection gave him more of a "human" atmosphere, rather than being perfect as the media portrayed, so perfect that he did not belong to the world.

Feeling the anger in Yi Feng's heart, Tang Xuan felt very aggrieved at first.

But after spending a day with her sister in the apartment, she began to regret it.

Because she saw that Tang Ya began to cry silently after making a few phone calls.

The phone was connected, but Yi Feng didn't answer.

So Tang Ya called over and over again.

Tang Xuan was suddenly full of guilt, she didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to intervene in her sister's love life like this. If Yi Feng finally left her sister because of her childish behavior today, how would she deal with herself?

Thinking about it, Tang Xuan began to lose control of her tears. After all, she is still young, and after making a "big mistake", she can't help but want to cry.

Now Tang Han suffered, as Tang Ya's younger brother and Tang Xuan's elder brother, seeing the two daughters crying, he must be comforted. But comfort this one, the other is still crying; Comforted the other one, the previous one started crying again......

What a first two big!

Tang Han slandered in his heart: This damn Yi Feng, where did he die! The woman who even asked me to comfort you!!

Huh――

Wait a minute!

Tang Han shook his head, what the hell was I thinking about something strange......

――――――

This season, if the Warriors, who won 15 consecutive games in the opening game and tied the best opening streak in history, are the best talented students in the class; Then the 76ers, who won 18 consecutive losses in the opening game, tied the longest opening losing streak in history, and set the NBA's longest losing streak of 28 consecutive losses, are the worst crane tail in the class.

The distance between the two is more than one Pacific Ocean.

But isn't the tail of the crane a person? Isn't there no dignity at the end of the crane?

Obviously not, the 76ers are preparing for a counterattack all the time.

After losing to the Memphis Grizzlies on November 29, the 76ers embarrassedly extended their opening losing streak to 18, and it was also their 28th losing streak so far since the second half of last season, setting a record in NBA history that is unique to the 76ers. At the same time, the 76ers are also the only team in NBA history to start two consecutive seasons with more than 17 consecutive losses.

The 76ers, who are so miserable, have not won for 8 months!

Obviously, there is no team in the world that has a stronger desire to win than the 76ers now!

However, it is one thing to want to, and it is another thing to be able to do it.

In the 2012-13 season, the 2013-14 season, and the 2014-15 season, the overall record of 37 wins and 143 losses in the three seasons is simply to see who loses!

So people thought that the team in Philadelphia was rotten to the bone, and their spirit had been lost.

But in fact, people were just deceived by the miserable situation of the 76ers in recent seasons and fell into the trap of the so-called impression stream.

In fact, in the 2011-12 season, the 76ers were still a playoff team, and they weren't the kind of character who accompanied the prince in the first round. In the playoffs that year, the 76ers once again completed the NBA's "Black Eight" miracle.

However, the 76ers' "Black Eight" did not cause much of a sensation. Because the Bulls, who were the No. 1 team in the East at the time, and the core of Derrick Rose and Joaquin Noah on both offensive and defensive ends were both absent due to injury, the 76ers, who ranked eighth, were able to beat them, but they picked up a big bargain. Therefore, the miracle of "Black Eight" is not a miracle.

But at the end of the day, luck is part of strength. In this world where heroes are judged by success or failure, the means and processes are not so important.

Before the 76ers' "Black Eight" season, they did not make the playoffs in only one of the four years after sending away Allen Iverson. In other words, they are still proper playoff regulars at this time, which is definitely different from the rotten image they give people now.

It's just that starting with the 2012-13 season, the 76ers embarked on a rebuild path. Sending away Jrue Holiday one after another, Evan Turner, Thaddeus Young, Hawes, Mike Carter Williams, began to embark on the road of rebuilding.

And their road to reconstruction, which was very hard and unlucky, finally gave people the impression that they are now rotten to the bone.

In a big trade of 12 men from four teams, the 76ers sent away their team's lead Andre Iguodala along with Nikola Vucevich, Morris Harkless and a protected first-round pick, and acquired Lakers championship center Andrew Bynum, for which they also ate a three-year, $18 million bad contract.

The 76ers, who intended to rebuild, brought Bynum, who was only 25 years old at the time, under his command, and of course there was nothing wrong with his concept. Because he was young, had potential, had experience, and was one of the few first-class centers in the league at the time.

Unfortunately, the 76ers were unlucky, Bynum reimbursed the entire 2012-13 season due to a knee injury, did not play a game for the 76ers, and took $16.9 million in wages from the 76ers.

This is arguably the worst deal in history, and it directly led to the 76ers' embarrassing rebuilding road, or rather, a bad journey.

The 76ers then sent Jrue Holiday to the New Orleans Pelicans for No. 6 pick Nollens Knight in 2013 and a top-five pick in 2014.

The 76ers then used that pick to select the talented Joel Embiid in 2014.

But the 76ers were once again abandoned by the goddess of fate, and Embiid was reimbursed for injuries for two consecutive seasons and did not play a game for the team, but received two seasons of salary. Although he has become the king of Twitter among NBA players with his funny attributes, it has not helped.

The 76ers then sent away Michael Carter Williams, who had just won the Rookie of the Year award the previous season, in exchange for only a protected first-round pick. McCarvey is considered to be the rookie at the top of his game, and the 76ers are aiming to rebuild and collect draft picks like crazy, and it is understandable that McCarvey was traded before the trade deadline.

This year, the 76ers have another high-pick rookie, Jahill Okafor. His stats are worthy of his pick, but they are based on losses and don't mean much.

From an outsider's point of view, the 76ers are just a bunch of young people playing nonsense on the court, and the statistics are full of fun, but they haven't won a game. Losing and losing, the morale of these young people has been lost.

Young people are susceptible to external disturbances, and even small things can cause drastic changes in their mood.

Although the 8-month losing journey is indeed a devastating blow to the team's morale, the 76ers in such a state, as long as they are slightly stimulated, the desire to win will be unprecedentedly strong.

It just so happened that the Lakers gave them this kind of stimulus-

When Byron Scott was interviewed by the Philadelphia media, he accidentally said what was in his heart, "I plan to let the young guys play a little more and exercise more to train the newcomers in this game," and when asked why by reporters, Scott said, "It's not hard to beat the 76ers."

At that time, Scott also realized that he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late to make amends.

As the head coach of the Lakers, Scott said such a thing, which was obviously disrespectful to the opponent's performance, and it was reasonable for him to be condemned by the Philadelphia media.

But these 76ers can't pretend they didn't hear it.

It's been eight months since they've heard a word of praise in a long time. The other 29 teams in the league regard them as warm men, but they actually want to be finishers more than warm men loved by their families.

Scott's words completely stimulated their young hearts. At this age when they value face the most, they have to defend their dignity to the death.

On December 2, at the Philadelphia Wells Fargo Center Arena, the Los Angeles Lakers challenged the Philadelphia 76ers away, and the game officially began.

The Lakers' starting lineup is: Jordan Clarkson, Yi Feng, Kobe Bryant, Julius Randle, Roy Hibbert

76ers starting lineup: Isaiah Kenan, Jakar Sampson, Jeremy Grant, Robert Covington, Jahir Okafor

After the game started, Kobe Bryant, who returned to his hometown of Philadelphia, had a good hand and hit three three-pointers in a row, and the Lakers led 9-6.

The 76ers responded quickly with a seven-point lead, Kobe Bryant hit a jumper, and Randle also made three consecutive layups, and the Lakers tied it at 17 with 5:50 left in the first quarter.

The two teams then scored a few points each, with the 76ers going on a smuddy attack in the final 2:50 of the first quarter, and a three-pointer from Louis Williams led the team to a 10-0 spurt to end the first quarter with the Lakers leading 33-26.

Bryant scored 13 points in a single quarter and performed remarkably.

And Yi Feng was rarely in a state of stealth in the first quarter, only got two rebounds and one assist, and didn't make a single shot! Perhaps it was the influence of emotions that made him sleepwalk on the field.

Scott saw that Yi Feng was not in good shape and did not let him stay on the court longer. And he has made adjustments in the distribution of playing time, which really gives young players more opportunities to play!

After the start of the second quarter, the Lakers continued to attack iron, and the 76ers' offensive state was not ideal, Covington and Sampson combined for four points, and they chased it to 35:32.

Nick Young hit a three-pointer to lead an 11-3 spurt that gave the Lakers an 11-point lead at 46:35 with 4:10 left before halftime.

Covington hit four straight points, Clarkson and Hibbert combined for six points, and Bryant hit another three-pointer to give the Lakers a 14-point lead at 57:43.

After that, the Lakers played a little relaxed, and 76ers bench Nick Stauskas hit a three-pointer to end the second quarter with a 7-1 rebound that gave them an eight-point trail at 58:50.

Yi Feng's second quarter was the same as the first, his performance was surprising, and he didn't look like a scoring champion at all. In the entire first half, he only scored 6 points on 2-of-7 shooting, but the turnover was as high as 4 times!

And Okafor saw the champion show of the same year, and he was extremely excited in the half to score 7 points and 7 rebounds, and his performance was eye-catching.

After the start of the third quarter, the 76ers began to work hard.

Covington scored six points in a row to lead the team to start the game with an 8-0 counterattack wave to help the team tie the score.

After adjusting in the halftime period, Yi Feng's state finally picked up, and he scored 6 points in a row on the offensive end to help the team open up the point gap again.

But Covington and Kennan each hit three-pointers to put the 76ers up by two points at 64-66.

Hibbert basketed and prepared to attack, Kenan fouled him, his hand clamped Hibbert's arm, Hibbert wanted to break free, pushed down Grant, Sampson and other 76ers players stepped forward to push Hibbert, and the referee pulled in time to avoid escalating the conflict.

The referee reviewed the video and gave Sampson, Hibbert, and Grant a technical foul each, and Kobe Bryant hit a free throw, and the Lakers trailed by one point.

Kenan hit another three-pointer and Clarkson cut into attack mode and hit two jumpers in a row to tie the game at 71 with 2:55 left in the third quarter.

At this time, Yi Feng stood up again, broke through again and again, scored 7 points in one fell swoop, and helped the team open the score.

The Lakers led 80-75 at the end of the third quarter.

The two teams alternated points at the beginning of the final quarter, but as the Lakers' shooting percentage dropped, the 76ers launched a round of offense, Thompson and Covington each hit a three-pointer, and an 8-0 spurt gave the 76ers a 90-94 lead.

Bryant and Clarkson each hit three-pointers, and the Lakers fought back, but the 76ers stubbornly blocked the Lakers' counterattack and continued to maintain a slight lead.

Although the 76ers' Thompson, Kenan, and Covington hit consecutive three-point irons after that, the Lakers failed to seize the scoring opportunity.

With 1:36 left in the fourth quarter, the Lakers trailed by four points at 99:103.

Originally, this was a small point difference, and the Lakers still had hope of a reversal. But Yi Feng lived up to Scott's expectations and missed consecutive key balls, burying the game.

In the end, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 108-102 at home, ending an 18-game losing streak at the beginning of the new season and a 28-game losing streak across the season.

Scott, on the other hand, was slapped in the face, and what he thought was an easy victory was eventually overturned. The Lakers, who won the first 3-game losing streak of the new season, are the real warm men who send warmth! (To be continued.) )
