Chapter 214: Elementary School Students

Losing to the Thunder again, or losing to the Thunder who scored 60 points together, Yi Feng's desire to enhance his strength became stronger. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In this game, he faced Andre Roberson's defense, and his offensive efficiency dropped significantly, contributing 26 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 turnovers throughout the game, and his performance could only be described as average.

If it weren't for Louis Williams, who scored 35 points, the Lakers wouldn't have lost so decently.

After the game, Kobe Bryant and Yi Feng had a small get-together with the Thunder Ershao. It was at the party that Yi Feng listened to Westbrook talk about the big news that happened this morning, and he learned that Agary Ranadave was actually canvassing for him.

He was surprised and a little flattered at the same time.

I didn't expect Bai Fumei, who had only one side, to be so concerned about her own affairs!

While being teased by Kobe Bryant and others, Yi Feng also secretly made up his mind to play hard in the next few days and try to cooperate with Bai Fumei's actions. To be honest, for an honor like an All-Star starter, it is impossible for Yi Feng not to be moved.

Kobe Bryant has already experienced this 17 times, and if Yi Feng is not selected from the first season, the chances of surpassing Kobe Bryant in the future are much smaller. As his successor, how can you not take it as your responsibility to surpass him?

On January 10, the Lakers continued to sit at home and face the challenge of the Utah Jazz.

In this season's preseason, the two teams have met twice.

In the regular season, this is the first meeting between the two sides, and the two teams will meet for the second time in five days. Then the two teams met for the third time in late March, and finally, in mid-April, the Lakers' final regular-season game of the season was against the Jazz. While the Lakers are in the Pacific Division and the Jazz are in the Northwest Division, the two teams met four times during the regular season.

The Jazz currently have a 17-20 record and are in 10th place in the West, while the Lakers are 22-17 and are fifth in the West. The difference in strength between the two teams is not small, and the Lakers also have home-court advantage, no matter what the aspect, the Lakers have a considerable chance of winning.

What's more, Yi Feng is determined to sprint to the All-Star starter!

Although Bai Fumei is trying her best to help him canvass for votes, in the final analysis, it still depends on his personal performance on the court. If he fights badly, no matter how strong Bai Fumei is, there won't be too many tickets he can pull.

In this game, Kobe Bryant suffered discomfort in his right Achilles tendon and was out again. Also missing the game was Brandon Buss, who was unable to play due to an eye injury.

However, these should not be the reasons to stop the outbreak of Yifeng.

Yi Feng broke out, so Rodney Hood, who was opposite him, became the person in the world who could enjoy Yi Feng's gorgeous performance up close, but the price he had to pay was to become a gray backdrop.

Hood landed in the NBA only a year before Yi Feng and is now only a sophomore rookie. Originally, in the face of ordinary rookies, he could be a person to his heart's content, but unfortunately he met a divine bird tonight.

The Jazz's leading point guard, Alec Burks, suffered an ankle fracture against the Clippers at the end of December and is expected to recuperate for three months. So the lucky Hood got the chance to come out of the sky. He was spotted by head coach Quinn Snyder to take over Alec Burks' starting number two.

After a few games, Hood gradually fell in love with the feeling of starting the game. But tonight, facing the outbreak of Yi Feng, it is definitely one of the black histories on the court that he is most reluctant to recall.

Cold-blooded three-pointers after running, dry pull-up with the ball, pull-up layups and dunks after breaking, turn-over jumpers and turn-over breakaways after back-hitting......

Yi Feng took out all the guys in the arsenal and showed off his face, and finally scored 51 points, almost winning the game by himself.

On January 12, the Lakers remained in Los Angeles to take on the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Pelicans only used the name "Daigo" in 2012 and were called the Hornets before changing their name. Now there is another team in the NBA called the Hornets, which is Michael Jordan's Hornets, who were originally called the Bobcats, and picked up a name that the Pelicans didn't use.

The Pelicans played the Lakers for the first time this season, but unfortunately Anthony Davis, the second man in the league named by ESPN, missed the game due to injury, leaving the Lakers players without the opportunity to witness his heroic demeanor.

Yi Feng continued to break out in this game, and although Kobe Bryant returned, he could only play a supporting role tonight.

First, the Pelicans let Eric Gordon defend himself alone.

Gordon was also a top-notch scorer in his prime, but he seems to have said goodbye to his peak after landing in the NBA in 2008. Due to frequent injuries, he has lost his former explosiveness, and his weaknesses of shooting too low and not fast are completely exposed.

On the defensive end, he is limited by his height of 1.9 meters and average arm span, and his performance is not outstanding.

Therefore, he couldn't defend against Yi Feng's attack at all.

Then, former Warriors assistant coach Elvin Gentry, who just came to coach with the Pelicans last summer, brought Tyrek Evans to defend Yi Feng.

Evans was the No. 4 pick in 2009 and won the Rookie of the Year with an average of 20.1 points, 5.8 assists and 5.3 rebounds per game in his rookie season, beating James Harden and Stephen Curry, and he was also strong on the defensive end, averaging 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks per game.

He is the fourth player in NBA history to average 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game in his rookie season, following Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and LeBron James. This achievement, which made him famous for a while, was considered the future of the league.

However, who knows that a few years have passed, and his data and performance are not as good as year after year! It turns out that his rookie season is his peak!

Since his shooting has not improved, the offense can only rely on breakthroughs. And as the rest of the league became more familiar with him, his breakthrough was no longer so effective, so he was getting worse and worse at eating his old book. Among the rookies in the same class, Curry has become the MVP and has won the championship, but he is becoming more and more obscure.

Although his offensive skills have not been developed much, his defensive ability has remained relatively stable, with more than 1 steal per season. This is due to his explosive physicality.

Although Gentry asked him to defend against the wind, the effect was better than Gordon's. But a super scorer, if he can be limited by one person, he can't be a super scorer.

Yi Feng's scoring difficulty has become greater, but he ignores the increased difficulty because of his hot hand.

Seeing that Yi Feng still made one shot at a time, Gentry remembered that when he was an assistant coach with the Warriors, he saw the "Splash Brothers" who had the ability to shoot against the sky.

In fact, Gentry is very good at adjusting the team's offense, and he has a lot of credit for the Warriors' offensive firepower becoming so ferocious last season. On the other hand, his skills on the defensive end are weaker.

In fact, not being able to prevent Yi Feng is not his biggest headache, for a head coach with excellent offense, he is full of offensive tactics, but there is no available talent in the team, which is what he is most unhappy about.

In the end, he could only watch Yi Feng slash 44 points to take away the game, but he was helpless.

Facing the Lakers, Daigo lost again, and now they have lost four in a row, and they are having a hard time, with only an 11-25 record, and it is a question whether they can impact the playoffs.

On January 14, the Los Angeles Lakers returned to Oakland to challenge the league leader. This is the second meeting between the two teams this season, with the first meeting also taking place at Oracle Arena, home of the Warriors

The Warriors currently have a 37-3 record, one step closer to the Bulls dynasty's all-time record of 72-10. As for whether they can break this record in the end, it depends on whether they can give it in the later stage.

The Warriors, who lost after two 15-game winning streaks, overturned on the road yesterday and lost to the Nuggets, ushering in their third loss of the season. It seems that the Warriors, a perennial winning team, have been put on the beaten track by the Braves on the Denver Plateau.

Back at home today, the Warriors are tired of traveling and the back-to-back fixtures, but the Warriors are bound to defend their home court and not let the losing streak happen to them.

The Warriors' starting five tonight are: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Brandon Rush, Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut.

On the Lakers' side, the starting five consisted of Jordan Clarkson, Yi Feng, Kobe Bryant, Julius Randle and Roy Hibbert.

The Lakers' starting lineup is exactly the same as the last time they played the Warriors.

And the person in the starting No. 3 position of the Warriors at that time was not Rush, but "North Carolina Flying Eagle" Harrison Barnes. In fact, with the Warriors' scary roster depth, the lineup is very adjustable, as long as there are Stephen Curry + Klay Thompson + Draymond Green on the floor, they can basically beat many teams in the league.

However, the Warriors didn't start the game well.

They are very loose and casual on both offensive and defensive ends, and although there are reasons for back-to-back battles, they have dominated the league record list for a long time and beat the whole league, making them a little underestimated and look down on their opponents.

So the Lakers showed them the cost of underestimating the enemy.

It was still Yi Feng, who entered a furious attack mode at the beginning, taking advantage of Klay Thompson's lack of concentration on the defensive end, Yi Feng easily scored 7 points, and directly dominated by a wave of 7-0 attack waves.

Then Kobe Bryant followed up, and under the force, he hit two goals in a row and directly stopped the Warriors 11:0.

Although Luke Wharton is a young coach, he was able to sit as the acting head coach of the Warriors while Steve Kerr was recovering from an injury, and he was still very good, and he directly asked for a timeout when he saw that the situation was not good.

In fact, with such a mature system of the Warriors, whether it is offense or defense, there is no need to arrange anything more, it is completely a snake to add. The biggest reason why the Warriors haven't scored a point now is because of the players.

If the player is disobedient, just scold.

Although Luke Wharton is still young and has little experience in the coaching world, he is not worthy of a superstar like Curry at critical moments, and he should be scolded.

After a scolding, it worked. The Warriors' offense soon improved, but because of the Lakers' ferocious firepower, the Warriors' defense was still invisible for a while.

It's nothing if you can't play defensively, fight for offense, and the Warriors have never been afraid. With just 115.6 points per game, the Warriors were able to destroy most of their opponents.

Curry was the first to find his groove, hitting three three-pointers in a row within three minutes to help his team stabilize the situation. Clarkson was speechless by Curry's perverted quasi-shot, although the shot was low, but the speed of the shot was too fast. By the time you react to cap him, everyone else is already shooting.

Curry opened the scoring for the Warriors, followed by Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and others also scoring one after another. Halfway through the first quarter, the Lakers led the Warriors by seven points at 21-14 on the road.

The reason why the Lakers scored so high was because of the Warriors' laxity on the defensive end. Although their offensive form is back, the defensive intensity is still not high. That's true for the main forces, and it's the same for the substitutes.

At the end of the first quarter, Louis Williams was a bit of a big kill, Mr. burst into the interior to make a layup, and then made two free throws from the outside, scoring four points in a row to continue to consolidate the team's lead.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by eight points at 36:28.

After the main team returned in the second quarter, the Warriors' defensive intensity increased, which made the Lakers' offensive efficiency begin to decline. And they themselves have always maintained excellent attacking form, and the difference between points has gradually narrowed.

With 3:29 left in the second quarter, the Warriors used the huge containment power of the "Splash Brothers" to draw the Lakers' defense in, and then Draymond Green hit an unguarded open three-pointer at the top of the arc, and the Warriors finally equalized the score.

After that, the two teams started to get into a scorching position on top of the score, you make a layup, I shoot a three-pointer. The score rose alternately, and in the last two or three minutes of the first half, the two teams actually swapped positions as many as 4 times!

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the home team by one point at 59:58.

In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again.

Klay Thompson faced Yi Feng's defense at the beginning of the third quarter and shot directly into a three-point shot, and Yi Feng quickly responded with three free throws for making fouls.

After that, both teams scored a few points each, and the first half of the battle continued.

But then the situation changed dramatically, Curry easily deceived Clarkson with a shooting feint in an offense, and after breaking through into the inside, he barely dunked - the elementary school student found that his jump height was not enough, and after putting the ball in the basket, he unwillingly touched the hoop.

Curry's dunk caused a wave of joy on the Warriors' bench, and the entire Oracle Arena was thrown into a sea of changes. But he brought laughter to the fans, and the price to pay was the sudden disappearance of his touch.

After that, his three long-range shots ended in iron, and the steady Lakers gradually accumulated a five-point lead.

Curry has a high ball quotient, and when he saw that he didn't feel good, he started making the ball for his teammates. After breaking through the suction bag, then divide the ball out. Unfortunately, however, it seems that his cold touch is also passed to his teammates when passing. The Warriors inexplicably fell into a scoring drought that lasted more than two minutes, and the Lakers took the opportunity to extend their lead to 11 points. (To be continued.) )
