The Philadelphia Sentinel published an article on October 29 titled "Who Said This Year Is a Year of the Draft" -

Prior to June of this year, a number of experts had made statements that this year was the same draft year as 2013. They believe that this year's best rookie is at most like Mike Carter Williams, the best rookie of the class of 2013.

And at the draft meeting in June, after China Yi became the champion, such remarks were even more noisy.

However, the collective performance of the rookies in yesterday's class proved them wrong.

China's champion Xiu took the lead in the charge, scoring a statistic of 31 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists plus 2 steals and 1 block, which is enough to rank in the top three in the 60-year history of the NBA!

And in the same game, Dominican Carl Anthony Towns scored 21 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks! The two rookies competing in the same field promote each other and achieve greatness together!

And our very scout Jahir Okafor, who played 38 minutes and scored 26 points and 7 rebounds with a super high efficiency of shooting 10-of-16 from the field and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line!

This year's No. 7 pick, Emmanuel Moodier, scored 17 points and 9 assists, helping the team beat the opponent by 20 points!

and D'Angelo Russell, who was a favorite in the previous draft but did not participate in the draft in the end, came off the bench and scored 17 points and 4 assists!

Who would dare to say that this year is a draft year?!

In addition, although Downs threatened to teach Yi Feng a lesson before the game, with his efforts in the game, although the team lost in the end, he failed to teach Yi Feng as he wished, but no one laughed at him.

for though he is defeated, he is still glorious.

It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's a crime of non-war.

In the face of Yi Feng's super play, he has performed well enough. Perhaps it is precisely because of his stubborn resistance that he inspired a better Yi Feng.

The confrontation between these two rookies in their debut is a rare occurrence in the NBA once in a decade. There are wins and losses in the game, and Yi Feng won because he was indeed strong; And when Downs lost, no one blamed him, but more people became his fans.

This duel has become the talk of many fans. However, due to the extremely dense schedule of the NBA, there is always new information on the court for fans to pay attention to, and the turmoil about the matchup between the two rookies has gradually subsided.

Friday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m. local time in Sacramento. The Kings host a challenge from the Los Angeles Lakers at home.

In this game, the Lakers' starting five tigers are: Kobe Bryant, Roy Hibbert, Julius Randle, Yi Feng, Jordan Clarkson.

Larry Nance Jr. and Tzu Se Ping are on the unactivated list.

The starting five for the home Kings are: Rudy Gay, Rajon Rondo, DeMarcus Cousins, Ben McLemore, Willie Cauleystan.

The day before yesterday, also against the Los Angeles team, Rondo was in a sluggish state, playing only 4 points, 4 assists and 7 rebounds in 28 minutes. Facing the Lakers today, especially against sophomore Jordan Clarkson, it can be described as a demand.

He grabbed 21 points and 8 assists on 9-of-13 shooting in the game, completely connecting the team's offense. His strong combination with Cousins and Gay was the key to the Kings' lead over the Lakers for more than three quarters of the game.

Despite missing training before the game, he started today. Maybe it's because he's training that he's not in good shape.

After the Lakers led 4:2 in the opening game, the Kings quickly launched a wave of 8:2 shockwaves, and after Guy made a fast-break layup, the Kings quickly overtook 6:10.

The Lakers' defense today is useless, perhaps because Yi Feng has not adapted to the away environment, and the defensive system dominated by him has failed to play an effective role.

Kobe Bryant also changed his brave state the day before yesterday, and became a little sluggish in the first half of the first quarter, missing all 4 attempts on the outside, and only relied on free throws to score 1 point.

With 2:34 left in the first quarter, Cosby dunked on a fast break, and the Kings extended their advantage to 10 points at 18:28. Before the end of the first quarter, Yi Feng finally found his form and hit a three-point whistle to freeze the score at 25:33, narrowing the gap to 8 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Rudy Gay was lucky and hit a "3+1" four-point attack. The Lakers did not show weakness either, and Huertas immediately returned the favor on the outside.

Bryant finally found some feeling after returning to the court, hitting a baseline three-point shot and then making consecutive jumpers, scoring double-doubles in a single quarter.

It's just that after Kobe Bryant's emergency stop shot narrowed the gap to 47:48 and only one point, Rondo and Cousins hit one after another, and Clarkson made a series of mistakes before halftime, and the Kings took advantage of the situation to score consecutive points. Clarkson wanted to make up for it, and after missing a strong shot at the top of the arc, Yi Feng grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a second offense, and the Lakers still trailed by 8 points at 55:63 at halftime.

Yi Feng, who made his debut in the third quarter, entered the "big rampage" mode, scoring 11 points in a row in just a few minutes, and it was difficult to overtake the score!

At 71:69, the visiting Lakers took the lead for the first time in the second half.

Bryant slipped in form in the third quarter, scoring points with just one breakaway throw. But it also allowed him to focus on organizing the team's offense, and after providing an assist for Hibbert, Bryant's tally for assists in this game came to six.

Then Kings center Cousins hit consecutive strong baskets, and Randle and Hibbert couldn't stop them, and they scored consecutive points. The Kings quickly put the score in the lead.

However, the partnership of Louis Williams and Clarkson received good results, the two played nonsense and continued to help the Lakers score, before the end of the third quarter, Belineri hit a long shot, Clarkson immediately stopped shooting, the Lakers entered the final quarter with a 5-point difference of 88:93, and the suspense of the game was still there.

Although Rondo and Cousins both played well in the final quarter, both scoring 8 points, Yi Feng completely stormed and took over the game. He scored 21 points on 7-of-11 shooting, 3-of-6 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws in the fourth quarter!

In particular, he hit two key goals in the last minute of the fourth quarter and killed the game directly!

Bryant made 5 of 12 shots in the game, contributing 13 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists. After this game, Kobe Bryant's career total goals reached 11,338, surpassing O'Neal's 11,330 and ranking fifth all-time.

Bryant didn't get into the groove in the first half, so he took the initiative to organize the team's offense and concede the ball. It also completed the outbreak of Yi Feng's game.

Yi Feng played 36 minutes and scored 42 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

In the second quarter of this game, Kobe Bryant's personal career goals have surpassed O'Neal and rank fifth all-time. In the end, the Purple and Gold Army won the game by virtue of Yi Feng's super play. Yi Feng's performance made James Shawsy smile, saying that "the Lakers are revived."

After the game, the Los Angeles Daily News commented on the game with the title "Kobe Bryant and the Next Kobe". Today, although Kobe Bryant's personal offensive state is not good, he has connected the team well; As Kobe's successor, Yi Feng took the initiative to take on the offensive responsibility, turned the tide, and helped the team win consecutive victories in the new season. This season has been a promising one for Lakers fans.

USA Today commented on the game with the title "The powerful but not inferior outburst of the Rondo and Cousins combination". Rondo had 21 points and eight assists, while Cousins had 21 points and 11 rebounds, but couldn't help the Kings win the game. Because Yi Feng alone slashed 42 points!

The headline of the Sacramento Bee was filled with a strong acetic acid flavor, "It's a lottery, but the difference in strength is so stark," and the Lakers were able to win against the Kings who played well on their rookies. And Willie Cauleystan, the Kings' rookie this year, doesn't mention it......

The Los Angeles Times said: Winning the game on his own is something that Kobe Bryant could only do ten years ago. Yi Feng deserves to be the orthodox successor of Kobe. What's even more commendable is that the Lakers' first and second games this season are playing out the same plot in the final critical moments, as if the script was written.

Yi Feng hit key balls in a row at critical moments, and took away the game in waves! After only playing two regular season games, Yi Feng has become a trustworthy Mr. Key!

Scoring 30+ points in two consecutive games, Yi Feng has become a phenomenal rookie and has become the object of heated discussion among fans.

After two regular season games, one home and one away, the Lakers returned to their home court for the third regular season game. This time the opponent is the Dallas Mavericks.

Sunday, November 1, 7:30 p.m. local time in Los Angeles.

The Lakers' home arena is Staples Center, where the Lakers face the Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks started with: Dirk Nowitzki, Zaza Pachulia, Deron Williams, Wesley Matthews, Chandler Parsons.

Lakers starting five: Kobe Bryant, Roy Hibbert, Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson, Yi Feng.

In this battle, the Lakers stubbornly held their home court and defeated the strong opponent 103:113.

Kobe Bryant finished with 15 points and five rebounds on just 5-of-15 shooting, and without the other seven assists, Bryant's performance in this game would have been terrible.

Julius Randle went on an inside rampage to finish with 22 points, 15 rebounds and four steals, Jordan Clarkson scored 10 points and Roy Hibbert had four points and eight rebounds. Louis Williams, who came off the bench, scored 13 points.

The first contributor to the Lakers' victory, of course, is Yi Feng. Yi Feng played 37 minutes in this game, scoring 35 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

On the Mavericks' side, Dirk Nowitzki made 3-of-5 three-pointers and contributed 25 points and 9 rebounds, Zaza Pachulia had 16 points and 12 rebounds, Deron Williams had 11 points and 8 assists, and Wesley Matthews had 10 points. Coming off the bench, Raymond Felton had 11 points and J.J. Barria had 10 points.

The Mavericks have one win and one loss, and they are in good shape. They started the season back-to-back, and they let Williams and Matthews rest in Game 2, and the loss to the Clippers was understandable.

Facing the Lakers today, the Mavericks have won seven in a row, three of which were at the Staples Center. Today I went to Los Angeles again, but the Mavericks were strongly blocked.

Matthews had a good momentum, and when the two teams missed consecutive shots after the opening game, it was he who opened the game, even against Yi Feng, who had an advantage in height and reach, and hit two three-pointers in a row in 30 seconds.

Nowitzki also hit a long-range shot after that, and the Mavericks started the game with a 9-0 run.

At this time, Kobe Bryant felt bad, and it was Yi Feng who stood up and responded strongly. Mr. scored a difficult pull-up layup on the inside, and then made a strong shot to Matthews outside the three-point line, scoring five points in a row to stabilize the situation.

After 4 minutes and 28 seconds into the game, Bryant made a three-pointer and caused a foul, making 3 of 3 free throws and scoring for the first time. Randle then controlled the ball himself and went up front, forced a push past Nowitzki, and scored a dunk. Randle scored eight points in the first quarter, plus 12 points from Yi Feng, and the Lakers led the visiting Mavericks 32-33.

Nowitzki broke through for a dunk at the start of the second quarter, and Harris hit a three-pointer to send the Mavericks on the back burner.

Bryant still couldn't find his senses, missing all four shots in the quarter and scoring four points on free throws alone. Fortunately, he didn't force himself to attack, and focused more on organization. With his assist, Randle scored a dunk in the air.

With 2:07 left in the quarter, Nowitzki hit a three-pointer to give the Mavericks a 52-50 lead. Clarkson also scored a three-pointer and the Lakers regained the lead after scoring five straight points. Hibbert grabbed an offensive rebound and hit a buzzer-beating shot to give the Lakers a three-point lead at 54-57 in the first half.

Randle had a double-double in the first half, scoring 13 points and 10 rebounds.

After nearly two minutes of the third quarter, Bryant finally scored for the first time in an athletic battle, grabbing an offensive rebound, turning around and hitting an easy shot.

As Bryant's form picked up, the Lakers' offense and defense got better and better.

Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer, and Yi Feng also made two long-range shots after that. As soon as the Mavericks gained momentum and wanted to recover the point difference, they were immediately suppressed by the Lakers, who were in good shape. Nowitzki hit two shots before the end of the quarter, and the Mavericks scored seven straight points before trailing by seven points at 81-88.

The Lakers came off the bench to play well, and after the start of the fourth quarter, Huertas and Buss scored baskets one after another, and Williams hit a three-point shot halfway through the quarter. Due to the good performance of the bench, the Mavericks failed to close the gap as hoped.

With 3 minutes and 36 seconds left in the game, Kobe Bryant finally hit a three-pointer, and Randle hit two free throws, and the Lakers only widened the gap to 10 points at 96:106!

After the Mavericks took a timeout, they launched a final comeback. The momentum was fierce, but the Lakers stubbornly resisted this wave of offense under the leadership of Yi Feng.

Yi Feng made two steals in the final moments, and the Mavericks' mistakes at key moments buried the game. Yi Feng made a fast-break layup after a steal, and Clarkson dunked with a long pass. With only 42 seconds left before the end of the game, the Mavericks were still 100-109 behind.

In the end, the Mavericks lost 103-113 on the road, and the Lakers won three consecutive victories in the opening season!
