Chapter 120: Warming Up

When Yi Feng throws the ball in mid-air, the game time is over.

Whether the goal was scored or not, he did not leave any chance for the opponent.

In the end, Yi Feng hit this ball.

Lore!!

Yi Feng hit a two-pointer in the final 2.7 seconds to help the team win 115-117 over the Raptors!

The entire Staples Center arena was boiling!

It's a killer goal that you can't see a few times a season! And they're lucky enough to meet tonight!

The Lakers players seemed to be crazy and rushed towards Yi Feng, their faces could not hide their ecstasy.

And Yi Feng raised his right hand high, as if it was a proud white swan.

Compared with the Lakers' overjoy, the Raptors' players are all depressed.

After all, the race had already fought to this point, but it lost in the last 2.7 seconds. No one will feel good about this.

At the end of the game, Lowry scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, DeRozan scored 31 points and 4 rebounds, and the Raptors combined to score 56 points, but failed to bring the final victory.

And the "culprit" of all this is, of course, Yi Feng, who scored 43 points in the game.

But at the end of the day, it's just a regular season, and it doesn't really matter that much. Lowry and others still hugged the Lakers one by one before leaving the court.

At the press conference after the game, Kobe Bryant and Yi Feng attended as usual. They were able to get out of the way after answering questions from various media outlets.

Within an hour of the end of the game, the online media successively pushed the latest news about the game.

In a short period of time, most of these news reports are statistics for this match. Of course, the highlight is Yi Feng, who scored 43 points in the game, especially in the second and fourth quarters.

He scored 11 points in the second quarter and an astonishing 14 in the fourth quarter! And he hit a killer shot in the last 2.7 seconds, and his scoring ability at critical moments is trustworthy!

After this game, Yi Feng's name as "Mr. Key" also spread.

Two or three hours after the game, many basketball experts published articles about the game in the media.

ESPN data expert Kevin Pelton writes -

On November 20, 2015, in the Los Angeles Lakers' home game against the Toronto Raptors, Lakers teenager Yi Feng hit a killer shot in the last 2.7 seconds!

I think the Lakers fans, the fans of Yi Feng, will remember this historic moment. Because this is the first lore in Yifeng's career!

This is a milestone, and I believe that Yi Feng will pay tribute to his predecessors and walk out of his own glory on this path.

If you don't understand what lore is, that's okay, I'll give you popular science now:

There is a distinction between broad and narrow senses.

In a broad sense, it is cluth-shot, which refers to the fatal blow at the last critical moment. While this blow can largely decide the outcome of the match, there will be a little time left for the opponent to fight back in the end. The lead that this lore brings you is not so solid.

Just like the ball that DeMar DeRozan hit before Yi Feng hit that 2.7-second shot in this game. DeRozan gave the Lakers 2.7 seconds to spare, although many people couldn't change anything in that short period of time. But Yi Feng changed everything.

In the narrow sense, and in the real sense, the buzzer-beaters, that is, the game is over when the basketball is not in the hoop after it is thrown, and is still in the air.

The reason why it is a real stunner is that after a player hits such a goal, the opponent has no chance to turn the tables. Yi Feng's shot in the last 2.7 seconds of this game belongs to this type of lore.

This kind of lore can actually be called a whistle ball, but it is the most special whistle ball.

A goal can make the difference between a game and a goal that is of great significance to both the team and the individual. Especially for players, it may be a rare opportunity that is only once in their entire career.

Many players have never even thrown such a killer shot in their lifetime.

Of course, there are also players who have shot many times.

In the NBA, the player with the most hits in both broad and narrow senses has been Kobe Bryant, who has hit 29 hits in his 19-year career.

Next was Michael Jordan, who hit 28 times, just one less than Kobe.

Behind these two, there are still many key gentlemen who are struggling to catch up. For example, LeBron James, who hit 19 times, Carmelo Anthony, who can shoot 7 shots in a single season, and so on.

And among this group of people, there is now another one more - Yi Feng, who is the successor of Kobe Bryant, who is justified and well-rooted, and naturally inherits Kobe's killer instinct.

Yahoo Sports' basketball columnist and commentator Jonathan Givoni said.

I had just returned from a business trip to Philadelphia and immediately heard such exciting news, and I was here to calm my mind first.

Yi Feng, the 19-year-old young man, became a special presence in this league the moment he entered the NBA.

He hails from the far east, red China, and is the only one of the billions of people who plays in the NBA. China accounts for one-sixth of the world's more than 600 billion people; And there are four or five hundred people in the NBA, and there is only one Chinese! Proportionally, this is extremely unreasonable. But whether it is reasonable or not, Yi Feng, as the only seedling, enjoys all the attention of the whole of China.

And that's not all he has to offer.

Youngest Player of the Week, Youngest Triple-Double Winner, Youngest Mr. 50 Points...... These are the things that make him stand out.

And this lore tonight -

In the sixth regular season game of his career, he had the first chance of his career. But at Madison Garden, against the New York Knicks, his first strike didn't work.

And tonight, the twelfth regular season game of his career, he didn't let the second chance slip away! He hit the crucial shot in the final 2.7 seconds!

He may be the fastest player in NBA history, and he may also be the youngest player to hit a lore! So I would say the news is exciting, so I'm still very emotional right now.

And not just because he hit the shot against the Raptors, one of the most competitive teams in the East.

I'm also excited because I've seen so much more from behind this lore.

Maybe it was innate, or maybe it was influenced by Kobe, and he was unrelenting in his shots at critical moments. Even if he didn't hit the last kill, he still dared to shoot this time.

Usually he dares to shoot, he dares to shoot when it counts, and with the super high scoring efficiency he has maintained, I have no reason not to believe that he can't be a great scorer.

And the emergence of a great scorer will definitely bring more vitality and vitality to the league, and bring more exciting matchups. As a sports journalist, as a football fan, how could I not be excited?

Under the media hype, Yi Feng's feat of killing the Raptors has been spread to the maximum. In just a few hours, many fans were aware of the news.

After a few preseason games and more than a dozen regular season games, many American fans' attitudes towards Yi Feng have unconsciously changed. Among them, the most obvious are the Lakers fans, who have subtly become Yi Feng's fans under the influence of Yi Feng's excellent performance and the Lakers' excellent record.

The previous dislike of Yi Feng has long since turned into nothingness. After all, judging from his performance, there is no one.

And other people who are not fans of Yifeng also turn fans of him to passers-by and passers-by.

As he gets better and better in the NBA, his fan base is sure to grow.

On the same day that Yi Feng defeated the Raptors, the Warriors also faced the Chicago Bulls back-to-back at home. At the end of the game, the Warriors defeated the Bulls in a reversal and won 14 consecutive wins in the opening game, with a final score of 94:106.

Although the Bulls took the lead with an amazing shooting percentage after the opening and gave the tired Warriors a disadvantage, the Warriors, led by Curry, fought back and finally came back to win. In this game, Curry scored 27 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals, becoming the best player of the game.

The Raptors vs. the Lakers, the Bulls vs. the Warriors, the two games were played almost simultaneously.

Yi Feng briefly grabbed a lot of attention with such a feat as a lore, but soon, as the heat passed, the Warriors once again grabbed the attention of many fans.

After the victory over the Bulls, the Warriors have started the new season with 14 consecutive wins!

14 Wins in a Row!!

In the NBA, a winning streak of less than 10 games is not much to be looked at. After winning more than 10 consecutive games, it will gradually attract the attention of fans, including other teams in the league. In particular, some strong teams take pleasure in ending their winning streak.

And the Warriors' 14-game winning streak this time is extraordinary! This is the opening 14 consecutive wins! That means they are unbeaten since the start of the new season, winning all 14 matches!

What many fans have been YY for a few days ago, I'm afraid it's about to become a reality! The Warriors are just one game away from winning 15 straight games in the 1948-49 Washington Congress and the 1993-94 Houston Rockets to hold the best start in NBA history!!

Their next opponent, the Denver Nuggets, simply simply doesn't have the strength to stop the powerful defending champions!

As long as the Warriors weren't unlucky, they wouldn't have capsized in the gutter, and they'll be on a 15-game winning streak alongside the Washington Congress in 1948-49 and the Houston Rockets in 1993-94, the highest point in history!

And after winning the Nuggets, the Warriors' exclusive opportunity to enjoy the first place in history appeared on the Los Angeles Lakers!

On November 22, the Warriors challenged the Nuggets away, and the Lakers faced the Trail Blazers at home. The two games, which were not popular, also received unexpected attention.

In the Warriors' game against the Nuggets, there was no surprise that the Warriors emerged victorious.

As soon as the game began, the Warriors were on the back line, with Draymond Green hitting a three-pointer to give them a 9-3 lead. At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led by 11 points, 34-23.

In the second quarter and the first half of the third quarter, the two teams formed a tug-of-war, and the score rose alternately. But with Harrison Barnes' meteoric rise, the Warriors' lead began to widen. The Warriors led 91-79 at the end of the third quarter.

In the final fourth quarter, the Nuggets continued to play tenacious, perhaps trying to end the Warriors' opening winning streak. But the strength was not as good as others, and in the end it was defeated, and the Warriors won 118-105.

In this game, the Splash Brothers played well, Klay Thompson scored 21 points and 7 assists, and Curry scored 19 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds, helping the team win 15 consecutive games in the opening game.

The Warriors have since equalled the NBA's all-time record for the best start. The YY dreams of many fans have finally come true, and they have witnessed the birth of a great historical record!

The game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers began in the second half of the third quarter between the Warriors and the Nuggets.

The Portland Trail Blazers can be said to have entered a rebuild this season, and last season's starting five - Damion Lillard, Wesley Matthews, Nicholas Batum, LaMarcus Aldridge, Robin Lopez, this season only one person remains, except for Lillard, the other four are gone.

Matthews went to the Mavericks, Batum went to the Hornets, Aldridge went to the Spurs, and Lopez went to the Knicks.

The Trailblazers, whose main lineup has suffered a big loss, naturally have a significant decline in strength. Since the beginning of the new season, the Trail Blazers have only won 5 of their 14 games, and the winning rate is only 36%!

It stands to reason that the Trailblazers, who are ranked 12th in the West, and the Lakers, who are in the top four in the West, are very different in strength, and the Lakers have a greater chance of winning. But in the end, it was the Trailblazers who won!

Or maybe it wasn't the Trail Blazers who won the Lakers, but Lillard who won the Lakers!

Lillard started the game with a great hand, hitting two three-pointers in a row to help his team start the game 10-4. Not to be outdone, Yi Feng immediately returned the color. Facing CJ McCum, who was half a head shorter than himself, Yi Feng confidently chose to hit the opponent with a shot. Two mid-range shots in a row close the score.

But Lillard entered the Super Saiyan state from the first second of the game, and Clarkson was frequently blown up on the defensive end!

Outside the three-point line, he has made many unreasonable ultra-long three-pointers, and the willfulness of his shots is the same as Curry's, but his shooting percentage is still scary!

Hit the basket and attack the basket, either hit the layup or win the free throw opportunity, in short, he will not go home empty-handed! There was even a time when I almost asked for a face button through Hibbert! Fortunately, Hibbert was like a ghost and avoided the critical moment. Such a "humiliation", Hibbert has avoided several times at critical moments, and he is also a well-deserved "Mr. Key"!

Lillard is open up on offense, and his one-handed passing skills as a playmaker have room to play. It's scoring and passing, and the Lakers find themselves unable to defend him at all!

So Yi Feng and Lillard began to compete against each other, you score a goal, I score a goal, you pass a ball, I pass a ball. But if the game is just a simple two-person match, then there may be suspense about the outcome or defeat.

But most of the balls passed by Lillard turned into assists, while the balls passed by Yi Feng turned into a "clang" sound. Losing is a natural thing.

In the end, Lillard, who had 38 points and 13 assists, led the Trail Blazers to a 115-106 victory over the Lakers at Staples Center. And Yi Feng, who scored 37 points, could only swallow the bitter fruit gloomily.

At the post-game press conference, the Lakers generals who faced the Trail Blazers, who had the lowest record in the West, lost all of them, but they didn't get much questioning.

Part of the reason is that the media did see the Trail Blazers playing well, and even if the opponent is not the Lakers, they have a good chance of winning, and the Lakers just hit the muzzle of the gun.

And part of the reason is that the media is most concerned about the Lakers will play against the Warriors in the next game!

Can the Warriors set a new history?

Can the Lakers end the Warriors' opening winning streak? (To be continued.) )
