Oahu, Hawaii, USA.

Oahu is the third largest island in Hawaii and the most populous island in Hawaii. Home to 80% of Hawaii's population, it is known as the "meeting place." Honolulu, the city on the island, is the capital of the state of Hawaii.

Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. local time.

In Honolulu's largest stadium, the Honolulu Coliseum, there will be an NBA preseason game. The two sides are the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz.

Before the game, the Lakers locker room.

After seeing the players warm up, Scott clapped his hands to attract their attention, and then exclaimed: "Tonight we will have the first game of the new season, although it is a preseason game that does not count towards the regular season standings, but I also ask you to win this game and start the new season!" ”

"Especially the rookies who have just come to the NBA, I ask you to give 120 percent energy! You can't have any hands left in the game! ”

"And the free agents who just came to the Lakers, you can't let up. If the performance doesn't satisfy me, go back and practice right away! ”

"And the guys who were on the Lakers roster last year, you have a mission as well. You can't give me a lazy place on the field, otherwise the cold bench will serve! ”

"Got it!!"

"Understood!!"

Scott nodded with satisfaction, "Next is the announcement of the starting lineup for this game!" ”

The reason why Byron Scott chose to announce the starting list now is to maintain a good competitive atmosphere in the team, because the delay in announcing the starting list means that as long as the performance is good, it is possible to enter the starting list;

The second is because Scott himself has no accuracy in his heart. Because the Lakers have suddenly flooded into a group of newcomers this summer, including rookies and old fritters who have been in the league for several years, the tactical options available have become abundant.

Because Scott is not sure which set of tactics is more suitable for the current Lakers, and which set of tactics can make the Lakers players play better, he has not set a starting list.

"The next seven pre-season games will be like today, and I will only announce the starting line-up before the game. The main reason for this is that I want to see if I can be satisfied with everyone's performance. If you perform well, you will naturally appear in the starting list; If you don't perform well, you'll have to go to the bench! ”

Scott glanced over and saw that the Lakers generals in the locker room had different expressions, and the old fritters had calm faces, obviously familiar with such scenes; The newcomers are more or less excited and full of fighting spirit.

The most incomprehensible thing for Scott is Yi Feng, although he is also a rookie, his calm and indifferent face is more obvious than an old bird like Lu Yi Williams.

Did he know he was going to start?

Scott pondered that while a high-pick rookie would generally get a starting spot on a rebuilding team, whether in the preseason or the regular season. Of course, if you don't perform well for a long time, it's a different story.

Could it be that because of this, Yi Feng can be so calm?

Of course, Scott didn't know that Yi Feng had always been like this, because he had his own strength to rely on, there was nothing to make him panic.

And even in the face of unexpected situations, it is far better to be calm than to panic.

Scott will not kick Yi Feng, one of the starting five, who has just been set, out of the starting list because of Yi Feng's calm face. After all, there are so many strange people in this world, don't you allow people to have facial paralysis or be born with a big heart?

"Today's game starts with: center Roy Hibbert, power forward Julius Randle, small forward Kobe Bryant, scoring guard Yi Feng, playmaker Jordan Clarkson."

HIBBERT IS 218CM TALL, RANDLE IS 206CM TALL, EASY WIND IS 203CM TALL, KOBE IS 198CM TALL, AND CLARKSON IS 196CM TALL, WHICH IS A TALL LINEUP WITH AN AVERAGE HEIGHT OF MORE THAN 204CM, AND HAS A HEIGHT ADVANTAGE OVER MOST TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE.

With a height advantage, there is a relative rebounding advantage. And rebounding is an important factor in controlling the outcome of a game, because with rebounding comes possession.

"I didn't read the name just now, so don't be discouraged. Even if you didn't start today, it doesn't mean you won't have a chance in the future. ”

"There are also 5 people who started this game, don't think that you can sit back and relax when you get into the starter, not to mention whether you can start in the next game, that is, if you don't perform well in this game, I will replace you immediately, and you don't want to play again in this game!"

The reason why Scott is so strict is mainly because of a summer, more than three months of vacation, so that many players are lazy, even if they have started training a few days ago, but they are still a little out of consciousness.

More serious, like Louis Williams, this guy likes to play very much, although he is fighting mentally now, he can still see some mental malaise. Needless to say, I must have been happy in the nightclub again last night.

With his strength, if he plays honestly, it is very possible to win the best sixth man in a season, but he just can't control himself, too indulgent. So in this game, Scott didn't even let him start, but instead let sophomore Clarkson start in terms of playmaking guards.

Even though Scott has made comforting words, but he can't make the starting list, the two rookies Nance Jr. and Anthony Brown are still very frustrated. Although they are not in high order, they also have dreams of counterattack in their hearts. Unexpectedly, the flame of passion ignited by this fighting spirit was ruthlessly extinguished on the first day of the new season.

Yi Feng patted the two of them on the shoulder, "Opportunities always favor those who are prepared, as long as you don't give up your efforts, the chance to start will come one day." ”

Nance Jr. and Anthony Brown raised their heads down, the frustration on their faces was still there, and Nance Jr. said: "We are so low in the pick, even if we try hard, we don't have much of a chance." ”

Yi Feng smiled and said, "Do you think I got the starting opportunity because of my high rank?" ”

Although Nance Jr. and Anthony Brown didn't answer, their eyes clearly said: Isn't it?!

"Haha, in fact, it was through my own efforts that I impressed the coach and won the chance to start this time. Don't you know that Julius and Jordan and I have been practicing hard all summer? ”

"You see now Julius is a starter, and Jordan has been given a chance to start, while Luis, who has more seniority than him, has not got."

"Why do you say that?"

Nance Jr.'s eyes lit up, "Does the coach prefer players who train hard?" ”

Anthony Brown also reacted, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course, what coach doesn't like a player who works hard? Think about it from another perspective, if you were a coach and you had a player who was in a nightclub all day and another player who was training every day, who would you say you would prefer? Who do you want to get the first chance to play? ”

"Of course it's the one who trains hard!"

Nance Jr. and Anthony Brown said in unison.

Then the two looked at each other, and they both understood something.

Then head coach Scott laid out the tactics briefly, and then asked the players to get ready to leave, and the game was about to begin.

Yi Feng opened his wardrobe and took out the Lakers' purple and gold jersey.

The jersey number he chose for himself was No. 1, which represents countless firsts in his life, and it also means that he is still the first in the NBA.

Serial uniforms, shoelace up, the Lakers will pass through the players' tunnel and arrive at the Honolulu arena at one time.

When the starting 5 people entered the stadium, they all had their own exclusive music, which was passionate and surging, and it made people's blood boil after listening to it.

Yi Feng was placed to be the first to enter, and the last to appear was usually the team leader. On the Lakers, that position now undoubtedly belongs to Kobe.

Yi Feng trotted into the arena, and he couldn't even hear his own music, because his ears were full of the sound of the audience shouting and tsunami. However, after listening carefully, Yi Feng knew that these were not the cheers given to him by the Honolulu fans, but all boos!

It seems that as this year's champion show, he can only listen to the boos from the fans when he plays before he proves himself.

This is not a question on the Internet, but a real, face-to-face boo!

Although Yi Feng's psychological quality is strong, he also feels difficult to breathe at this moment, and there is a feeling of suffocation as if he suddenly did not hold his throat.

Looking up, some of the fans around him were scolding him, as for what he was scolding, Yi Feng couldn't hear it clearly, because the scene was too noisy;

Some fans were holding Yi Feng's headshot, and at first glance they thought it was his fan, but if they looked closely at the headshot, some were crying, and some were accompanied by some insulting words......

There was actually a big fat man, stripped naked, with his bare ass facing him, and a piece of cardboard was erected next to him: Come and lick my ass! Bastard!

……

In the face of such humiliation, no matter how good a person's self-cultivation is, anger will always burn in his heart.

Yi Feng didn't think that his cultivation was very good, and he thought that he was a stingy person, and after being violated, he would definitely not delay until the second if he could return it in the first place.

In the face of the insults from the fans at the scene, Yi Feng couldn't rush up and kill the Quartet. He can now finally understand why Ci Shiping, who is now in the Lakers lineup, beat the fans at the beginning. His credo is: revenge does not last overnight!

Some people are really underbeaten, and if you don't give him two kicks, he will feel uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, the consequences of hitting the fans were too serious, Artest was a strong contender for the regular season MVP in the 2004-05 season, but after the Auburn Hills Palace incident, he was banned for the entire season! It also cost the Pacers the chance to win the championship that season, and the legendary shooter Reggie Miller of the last chance to win the championship.

Although fighting can be cool for a while, but destroying himself for these people, Yi Feng feels that it is very worthless. In order to shut up these people, in order to let them know their stupidity, Yi Feng decided to go all out in this game!
