Chapter Seventy-Six: Exhausted?

After a warm breakfast, it was past 10 a.m.

After the two went to the nearby supermarket to buy necessities, it was already noon when they returned home.

In the afternoon, Tang Ya, accompanied by her younger brother Tang Han, went to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to report. And Yi Feng went to the Lakers training gym to train.

He was also severely reprimanded by the team's head coach, Byron Scott, for missing training in the morning for no reason.

As for the problem that the apartment was too small, after discussing it with Tang Ya, Yi Feng decided not to look elsewhere, but to buy all the floors where his apartment was located and connect them together.

In this way, the apartment can be remodeled. At that time, not only will the area become larger, but the room layout, furniture placement, etc. can be arranged according to your own ideas.

The reason why he planned to do so was mainly because of Tang Ya. After staying here for a night, she unexpectedly felt at home. She has always recognized the bed, and she will feel like this!

Perhaps, where there is easy wind, it is her home.

It was getting dark quickly, and the Lakers' game tonight was about to begin.

Yi Feng asked Kobe Bryant for three tickets, which were consecutive tickets near the front row. Because Tang Ya said that she wanted to see Yi Feng playing in the NBA up close.

Yi Feng directly asked for three, and by the way, asked his girlfriend's younger brothers and sisters to take a look.

Los Angeles, USA, November 3, 8 p.m. local time, Staples Center Arena.

With the pre-match ceremony, the audience also entered the stadium one after another, and by the time the game was about to start, the entire stadium was already full.

Fans are wearing the jerseys of their favorite stars. Originally, among Lakers fans, Kobe Bryant liked the most, and it accounted for the vast majority.

But after Yi Feng's eye-popping performance last week, more and more Lakers fans have become Yi Feng's fans. An intuitive embodiment is that there are actually a lot of fans wearing the No. 1 jersey in the stadium at the moment!

While it can't be compared to the number 24 fans, the momentum of the increase in fans is very strong. You know, when Yi Feng represented the Lakers in the preseason at the beginning, there were still fans who booed.

Now in the Lakers, the best-selling jersey is still Kobe Bryant, followed by Yi Feng, who shocked many Lakers fans like a god last week.

There are many fans in the stadium holding a big-headed KT board with Yi Feng's portrait and shouting frantically.

Especially when Yi Feng ran out of the players' tunnel and entered the court, the screams came and went, and they never stopped for a moment.

Tonight, the Denver Nuggets are coming, and the Lakers are guarding their home court and trying to keep it safe.

Because in the team power list, the Nuggets are ranked 21st, although it is also the strength of the middle and lower reaches of the league, but it is more optimistic than the Lakers.

Nuggets starting lineup: Emmanuel Moodier, Gary Harris, Danilo Gallinari, Kenneth Faried, JJ Hickson.

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

JJ Hixonkoro Hibbert jumps the ball in the middle circle.

Hickson is only 206CM tall, which is not a little bit worse than Hibbert's 216CM. The height difference combined with the difference in arm span makes it difficult for Hickson to win the jump ball unless he has super physical fitness.

In fact, Hickson, while physical, is not up to the beast level, and he is still a little worse than his teammate Kenneth Faried, and the Nuggets only offered him a mid-level contract.

Offense is his strength, but he has the level of killing other interior players in the league, and he is barely above average; The defense is sparse, and the single defense is barely passing, but he is not good at helping defense and blocking; Rebounding ability is acceptable.

Even if Hebbert, who is not in the same state as before, will not suffer against him. And because of the naked height advantage, Hibbert may still be able to take advantage.

Sure enough, Hibbert took advantage of his long arm and won the jump ball for the Lakers.

Jordan Clarkson pushes forward with the ball.

He faces Emmanuel Moodier today, the No. 7 pick in the class of 2015.

Now the rookies of the class of 2015 are more and more favored, and there is also a part of Moodier's credit. Although he has been committing a high number of turnovers per game since entering the NBA, this is just a common frizz in young people, and as he matures, the turnover rate naturally decreases.

And if he dares to pass the ball on the pitch, he will make a lot of mistakes. Dare to fight, you will get more and grow faster. The Nuggets pushed him to the starting No. 1 position, which also meant to encourage him to grow.

As a second-round pick, Clarkson's desire to attack becomes very strong every time he faces those high-pick rookies. And he is not a defender who is known for his organization, if it is not for his height and weight are not enough, he is more suitable for the position of No. 2.

Now the atmosphere in the Lakers team is very good, the boss Kobe Bryant gave up the ball, and encouraged the young people to dare to play on the court. Yi Feng was Bryant's first beneficiary of the ball. But because of his efficient scoring efficiency, he often doesn't need a lot of shots to get a high score.

Of course, judging from the first three regular season games, there are also reasons why we have not encountered strong opponents.

Yi Feng did not completely become a ball dominant, which of course gave the rest of the team more opportunities. So Clarkson also became a beneficiary, and because he was a point guard, he was able to touch the ball more.

Clarkson held the ball outside the three-point line, seeing that the boss Kobe Bryant had no intention of attacking, and Yi Feng did not run actively as usual, just waited quietly in the bottom corner.

In this way, Clarkson unceremoniously chose to come by himself.

When it comes to physicality, there is not much difference between Clarkson and Moodier, both are defenders who are known for their dexterity and speed, and they are also similar in height.

But Clarkson is good at offense, while Moodier is better at making playmaking passes. Defensively, neither man is a good player.

Clarkson entered the NBA a year earlier than Moodier, and he has one more year of experience, which is a very fatal advantage for rookies who have just entered the NBA.

Sure enough, after a few feints, Clarkson successfully broke through to the inside.

And Julius Randle, who has initially cultivated a tacit understanding with Clarkson, successfully entangled Kenneth Faried, and the Nuggets only left with JJ Hickson, who is not good at helping defense.

In Clarkson's eyes, Hickson's steps were as slow as the light of a slow light. He slipped to the basket and scored two points with a low-handed layup.

Moodier felt that it was all his responsibility to concede both points, and was a little annoyed and became a little impatient with the ball. As a result, the team's tactics did not succeed, and his ball passed through impatiently and directly into the hands of the fans outside the bounds.

Shit!

Moodier cursed under his breath and walked back with his head bowed and a blank expression.

He made a mistake at the beginning of the game, and his poor defense allowed the opponent to break through and score easily.

As a rookie, Moodier is now sad.

Because long before the game started, he decided to play this game well, because the opponent was the Lakers, because there was Yi Feng in the Lakers team.

Having played in China, Moodier clearly knew that the level of Chinese basketball was not very strong, but there was such an outlier as Yi Feng, which made him extremely puzzled.

As Yi Feng's reputation in the United States became more and more famous, Moodier, who had played in China, was naturally compared to Yi Feng.

Many people who don't know much about Chinese basketball think that after Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and others came out, the level of Chinese basketball has been greatly improved compared with the past, so Yi Feng from China will perform so well and have the momentum to conquer the NBA.

They think that Moodier, who has played in China, should also be influenced by such a basketball atmosphere, so they often draw Moodier out to compare with Yi Feng.

As a result, his shortcomings were magnified, and people always liked to hold on to his shortcomings of too many mistakes.

But a few people understood that the hapless Moodier was injured after not playing much in China! I didn't get much exercise as others thought.

And Moodier himself knows that the level of basketball in China is not as good as people think. Yi Feng's ability to perform so well was entirely due to his own reasons.

And once a young genius who was also in his prime, Moodier did not feel that he was inferior to Yi Feng. He wants to show the whole world in this competition, and he Moodier is not bad either!

Unfortunately, as soon as he made a series of mistakes, Moodier's ambition was immediately weakened a lot.

As a result, he fell into a vicious circle. When defending Clarkson, he couldn't hold his breakthrough at all.

Today's Clarkson, in the face of Moodier's defense, has a bit of an AI shadow, and his dexterous and quick breakthrough completely disrupts the Nuggets' defense.

In just two minutes, three offenses were played, which directly forced Nuggets head coach Michael Malone to call a timeout.

Clarkson scored six points on 3-of-3 shooting, and scored a small climax by himself, helping his team lead the visiting Nuggets 0-6.

The boss didn't know when he also learned Duncan's trick "Lost Hair Hand", and directly reached out and rubbed it on Clarkson's head, "Good job, keep it up!" ”

Clarkson was greatly encouraged at the moment.

Yi Feng also high-fived Clarkson, "Jordan, it's up to you today!" ”

During the afternoon training, Yi Feng found that his physical condition was not very good, whether it was mentally or physically, he always felt a little weak.

Could it be last night......

Clarkson was a little surprised, "Are you not feeling well today?" Is it a recurrence of an old injury? ”

"No," Yi Feng paid special attention to protecting himself when he played the ball, and he didn't suffer any major injuries, "but I feel that my physical strength can't keep up." ”

When Clarkson heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and said with a teasing face: "I see, I know." Although you are still young, you still have to hold on to this kind of thing, otherwise it will not be good if you hurt your body. ”

After the game restarted, Yi Feng was more involved in the team's offensive organization, and unless there was a good shooting opportunity, he would not shoot easily.

Although the number of points decreased, the corresponding number of assists increased, and he got 4 assists in a single quarter, setting his own record for assists in a single quarter.
