In October of this year, before the start of the season, Bryant made a bold statement: the team's goal is the playoffs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Never before in the history of the Lakers did they fail to make the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, and Kobe Bryant didn't feel allowed to be the first in that regard. In addition, he has confidence in Yi Feng, so he dares to make such a bold statement.

And he has also maintained his condition very well, averaging 19.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game this season!

This is the fourth time in his long career that he has averaged more than six assists per game, and he has averaged a career-high 6.5 assists per game.

Although the number of assists reaching a new career high is not unrelated to the change in his position and style of play, if he does not maintain his own form, it is impossible to play like this at the age of 37.

Last season, Kobe Bryant averaged 22.3 points, 5.6 assists and 5.7 rebounds in 34.5 minutes played. While it looks better than this season's stats, he shot just 37.3 percent from the field, the lowest shooting percentage of his career.

Because of his inefficiency, even if he scored better statistics last season, he did not contribute as much to the team's victory this season. This season, Bryant has shot 45% from the field and 35% from three-point range, which is only available in his prime. As a result, he averaged 19.1 points per game and used 17.2 shots to make his game. It was the first time since he became the team's boss in 2004 that he had taken fewer than 20 shots, except in the 2013-14 season, when he played just six games.

Kobe Bryant took the initiative to hand over more shots, and the most important of them was handed over to Yi Feng.

In 36.1 minutes per game this season, Yi Feng used 21.8 shots and was able to score 32.5 points while shooting 49.3% from the field, 40.2% from three-point range and 90.1% from the free throw line.

This hit rate, which almost made it to the 180 club, is not inefficient. If it weren't for Yi Feng's sluggish form for a while, which lowered his overall shooting percentage, he would have been a member of this club by now.

As the person with the most shots in the team, Yi Feng is rightfully the team's scoring champion. And not only that, but he's also the league's leading scorer, two points more than second-place Stephen Curry's 30.3 points per game.

In addition to scoring, Yi Feng averaged 5.3 assists per game, second on the team, behind Bryant's 6.5, and 6.1 rebounds per game, second on the team, behind Randle's 10.4, more than Nance Jr.'s 5.0 and Hibbert's 4.9.

In addition, he averaged 1.7 steals per game and 0.8 blocks on the defensive end.

In terms of these statistics, his contribution to the team's victory is the first in the team, with a victory contribution value of 9.1!

The win-share value is the contribution index of a player to the team's victory at both offensive and defensive ends. For a match, the overall contribution value is 1, if a player's contribution to a match is 0.5, it means that the player contributed half of the victory, or half of the credit goes to that player.

Of course, the victory contribution value can be cumulative, taking the cumulative contribution value of 10 wins as an example, if a player adds up to 4 at this time, it means that the player's contribution accounts for 40% of the team's victory in these ten games. It can also be said that because of this player, the team won four more games.

The Lakers have won 19 of the 33 regular season games so far. In other words, Yi Feng's cumulative victory contribution value of 9.1 proves that he directly contributed 9.1 victories to the team! It can be said without hesitation that almost half of the Lakers' 19 wins were contributed by Yi Feng.

Kobe Bryant, who ranks second in victory contribution value, currently has a cumulative total of only 5.3, which is still a big gap compared with Yi Feng. But then again, Yi Feng and Kobe Bryant combined for 14.4 wins, but the Lakers only had 19 wins......

What did the rest of the players do?

They also contributed too little to the team's victory!!

A bunch of pig teammates......

In addition, there is a John Hollinger efficiency value that proves that Yi Feng is the hero of the Lakers' revival this season.

John Hollinger's efficiency value is the PER value, which is the full name of the–player-efficiency–rating in English. John Hollinger is a well-known columnist and data expert at the former ESPN, and he invented the concept to measure a player's contribution per minute more scientifically, which includes a player's positive contributions such as goals, free throws, three-pointers, assists, rebounds, blocks, steals, etc., as well as negative contributions such as iron, turnovers, and fouls.

There are two elements to keep in mind about this concept: first, this data measures contribution per minute; Second, this data is based on pacing.

On the premise of minute by minute, two players with different playing hours can also be compared with each other; After the rhythm is adjusted, the efficiency of two players in different teams can also be compared, even if one of them is in a slow-paced positional team and the other is in a running-and-shooting team.

Although the PER value still has limitations, for example, its measurement of defense is not sufficient, and the data only stays in steals, blocks, and rebounds, and does not take into account hidden factors such as players' restrictions on opponents' shooting percentage and card positions. As a result, offensive players are more popular, while defensive players are in a weak position.

For example, Bruce Bowen, who was widely regarded as one of the best defensive players in the league in the 2006-07 season, had a single-digit PER value, which was among the worst in the league, but no one could say that Bowen was the worst player in the league.

However, no single data can be exhaustive and completely reasonable, relatively speaking, PER is already a very authoritative statistical method, and more and more authoritative media are using this data to evaluate player efficiency.

As of now, Yifeng has a PER of 27.3, which ranks fifth in the league, behind Stephen Curry's 31.5, Kevin Durant's 28.2, Russell Westbrook's 27.6 and LeBron James' 27.5! This shocking rookie actually trampled Chris Paul, Kawhi Leonard, James Harden and others under their feet.

Because of the preference of PER value for offensive players, Yi Feng, who currently occupies the league's scoring throne with an absolute advantage, has a lot of advantages in the comparison of this data.

Although Kobe's PER value is not low, reaching 20.1, ranking 36th in the league, it is still far from Yifeng. Kobe Bryant has such a good state this season, as if he has a second spring, but he can't compare to Yi Feng, let alone Louis Williams, Nick Young and others.

For Kobe Bryant to have such a performance, fans are naturally full of surprises. For three consecutive seasons due to early reimbursement due to injury, fans actually have a "do it and cherish" attitude towards Kobe's comeback this season.

Optimistically, Kobe Bryant may be healthy and play the whole season, but after several years of injuries and the impact of age, he will definitely not be as brave as he used to be. But even if he only scores a few points per game, the fans will still be as determined as he is after hitting the iron many times, no matter how good or bad he is, the fans will still be unwavering in his favor.

Pessimistically, maybe Kobe Bryant will be injured again in a game this season and then be reimbursed for the season......

Therefore, fans are basically watching Kobe Bryant play with the mentality of watching one less game.

However, when fans watched the Lakers' ball with such an attitude, they unexpectedly found that the rookie who was selected for the Lakers this year actually took his own steps to conquer the league at the beginning!

He became the Player of the Week in the first week of the new season, and deservedly became the youngest Player of the Week in the history of the league and the fastest player to win the Player of the Week honor!

At the age of 19 years and 181 days, he scored the first triple-double of his NBA career and broke the record for the youngest triple-double winner of LeBron James!

At the age of 19 years and 186 days, he scored 57 points in a single game, becoming the youngest Mr. 50 points in NBA history!

At the age of 19 years and 202 days, he scored 62 points in a single game, becoming the youngest Mr. 60 points in history, and at the same time, he also broke the NBA rookie single-game scoring record held by Wilt Chamberlain for many years!

At the age of 19 years and 236 days, he reached the milestone of 1,000 points in his career. Reaching 1,000 points in just 31 games, he was one of the fastest people in NBA history to reach this milestone!

Prior to this, in NBA history, there were five people in NBA history who were able to reach a total of 1,000 points before the age of 20, namely LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard. Now, Yi Feng has also become one of them.

Among these six, Yi Feng was the fastest to score 1,000 points, in only 31 games. James was only 18 years and six months old when he entered the NBA, almost a full year before Yi Feng! It is precisely because of this advantage that James has been able to break a series of records for the youngest in the NBA. By the time he reached 1,000 points, James was 19 years and 41 days old.

This season started at the end of October, and it was only two months before the end of the year, but Yi Feng has left so many footprints in the league, which are all his footprints on the road to NBA conquest!

Fans who love the Lakers deeply have been unacceptable to Yi Feng from the beginning, to gradually discovering his merits, to being stunned by surprises, and finally to now, they have become Yi Feng's fans!

Yi Feng conquered these fans in only two months on the way to conquer the NBA! Although they were originally Lakers fans and were the least difficult to conquer, in fact, on closer inspection, many fans who like the Lakers will not like every player on the Lakers team now. There is a difference between liking the Lakers and liking the players on the Lakers team, so it is not easy to make the fans who like the Lakers like you.

Summing up the Lakers in 2015, many people will find that Yi Feng is the absolute protagonist in it. Although his fate was only connected to the Lakers in the second half of the year, important people like to appear in the finale, don't they?

——————

After beating the Celtics, the Lakers got a day off, but as the New Year's bell rang, on January 1, 2016, the New Year's Day, the Lakers had to sit at home to welcome the 76ers.

The last time they visited Philadelphia to challenge the 76ers, the Lakers sent warmth and gave a victory to the 76ers who were in dire straits, allowing them to finally end their eight-month losing journey, and finally touched the light of victory after 28 consecutive losses across the season and 18 consecutive losses at the beginning.

While the 76ers would appreciate the Lakers' selflessness, the world is mocking the Lakers. Because of this, the Lakers were used as a joke and teased fans for a long time.

Good people are not rewarded, they are the ones who are talking about them.

On the first day of the new year, the Lakers finally had a chance for revenge!

However, Bryant was out of action for this game due to shoulder soreness, and Anthony Brown replaced him in the starting No. 3 position.

Yi Feng knew that Kobe, the old guy, wanted to be lazy again, seeing him with his wife and daughter talking and laughing beside him, where did he look unwell? But people are indeed old guys, and it's okay to be lazy occasionally.

The Lakers started well at home, and the new year should have a new atmosphere, Yi Feng took the lead, scoring 6 points at the beginning, he led the team to play an 11-5 attack wave, and greeted the visiting 76ers.

The 76ers responded quickly, with Isaiah, a small man in the No. 0 jersey — I'm short that's why Isaiah — Kenan hit a three-pointer to lead a 9-0 spurt that gave the 76ers a 3-point lead at 14-11.

Then Yi Feng made another effort, repeatedly broke through the ball, and used his offensive threat to make the team's offense start to become smooth, and the Lakers regained the lead with his help. At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers trailed by seven points at 21:28.

At the start of the second quarter, Jahill Okafor, who came off the bench, got a chance to show off his offensive prowess, scoring six points to help the 76ers close the gap.

Nick Young played his true colors as a singles king and immediately hit a three-pointer, and Louis Williams faced his old club who led him to the NBA, and also hit a jumper in succession, and the Lakers still held an eight-point lead at 4:40 before halftime. Since then, although the 76ers have repeatedly tried to organize counterattacks, they have been repelled by the Lakers. At halftime, the 76ers trailed by nine points, 45:54.

When Yi Feng didn't exert much force in the second quarter, the team was able to keep the lead and suppress the 76ers. Because of the last loss to the 76ers, many Lakers players felt gloomy. So in tonight's revenge battle, they all fought quite aggressively.

Seeing this situation, Yi Feng also began to be lazy in the second half.

At this time, Clarkson took over the ball, and after the breakthrough, the layup, shooting, and shooting percentage were quite impressive. Coupled with Randle's occasional face, the Lakers continued to take the lead in the third quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the 76ers hit a three-pointer and seemed to want to set off a counterattack, but Yi Feng continued to score points at this time, scoring 9 points in a row, and at the same time, he also led the team to a 16-4 attack wave!

At this time, the score was rewritten to 69:85, and the Lakers led by 16 points!

Although this can't be regarded as a wave of taking away opponents, the united Lakers did not let the 76ers have any chance to turn around. The final score was 89-105, and the Lakers maintained a full game lead at home, claiming their 20th win of the season.

Yi Feng only played 31 minutes in this game, and efficiently cut down 27 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, in addition to Clarkson with 20 points and 4 assists, and Williams with 17 points, 3 assists and 4 rebounds.

On the 76ers' side, Nolens Noll had 15 points and 12 rebounds, as well as three steals and three blocks, and Okafor had 12 points and four rebounds. (To be continued.) )
