The Lakers' road trip to New York, after the win over the Brooklyn Nets, was only halfway through. After playing the Nets on the 6th, they will play against the Knicks on the 8th.

The Nets and the Knicks are in New York, just like playing the Clippers away in Los Angeles, and the Lakers are free from the pain of travel.

The Lakers players also took advantage of the time between the two games to sneak around the cosmopolitan city of New York.

Although Los Angeles and New York are cities of the same level, the city culture is different, and they are accustomed to the style of Los Angeles, and it is not uncommon for them to come to New York once in a while to experience it.

Louis Williams was a prodigal son, took out a stack of VIP membership cards, and said boldly that he wanted to invite everyone to Hi Pi.

The crowd responded.

But Yi Feng refused.

In the previous game against the Nuggets, he wanted to finish the game on the court but couldn't do what he wanted due to physical problems. It was a lesson that he was extremely memorable.

And he's not really open in this regard, he's very conservative compared to his teammates. Although he does not discriminate against sex workers, it does not mean that he will have sex with them at will.

Especially after completely establishing a relationship with Tang Ya, Yi Feng decided to be a good man.

Of course, the cruel reason for reality is that it can often fragment people's plans. Yi Feng was ready to do so, but he didn't know where the reality would force him to.

Yi Feng is not the only one who did not accept Louis Williams' invitation to Hi Pi. The boss Kobe Bryant didn't go either.

Bryant decided to rest for the next game against the Knicks, and it was the advice given to him by the team doctor. Because in the last game, Kobe Bryant was in good shape and played a little more time, which also caused him to feel a little unwell after the game.

The years are not forgiving, and Kobe Bryant is already a complete veteran after all. This season is the twentieth season of his NBA career, and if he wants to continue to perform at a high level in his career, he will have to take care of his body.

Kobe, who was not feeling well, went to physiotherapy alone.

Yi Feng walked around New York alone, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Broadway and other well-known attractions in New York. Of course, the famous streetball mecca of Rock Park, he did not fall behind.

It's just that it's a bit lonely to go shopping alone.

It would be nice to have someone with you at this time.

Yi Feng naturally thought of his girlfriend in Los Angeles.

Although Tang Ya came to the United States thousands of miles away just to be by his side more, Yi Feng had to play a game, and he had to fly around the United States in three days, if Tang Ya didn't accompany him all the time, the time he could really spend by Yi Feng's side would not be very much.

And she came to the United States, and she didn't have nothing to do. As an exchange student, she also has her own studies to complete.

However, this is better than two people on separate sides.

In New York, USA, at 7:30 p.m. local time on November 8, the Los Angeles Lakers challenged the New York Knicks away.

Lakers starting lineup: Yi Feng, Jordan Clarkson, Nick Young, Julius Randle, Roy Hibbert

Because of the rotation of this game, Kobe Bryant was sitting on the sidelines in a suit, and it was Nick Young who started the No. 3 position in his place.

Nick Young's height is shown to be 201CM, which is not a disadvantage in the small forward position. However, standing with the 198CM boss, he is not as tall as the boss.

It is clear that he lied about his height.

It's not a big deal, because there are so many people in the league who lie about their height. Some people report their height higher to increase their value; Others report their height lower, or out of some kind of "unspeakable" secret.

Nick Young is the starting three today, facing Knicks star Carmelo Anthony.

Not to mention that Anthony has extremely rich offensive skills, so that defenders have no way to start. In terms of height alone, Nick Young is half a head shorter.

How does this make Nick Young defend Anthony?

What's more, Nick Young isn't much of a defensive stalwort. Although he has the body to be a defensive giant, he doesn't have such a heart.

After all, he's the singles king.

Knicks starting lineup: Jose Calderon, Sasha Vujacic, Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis, Robin Lopez

Calderon is a Spaniard, he did not enter the NBA through the draft, and he has played well in the Raptors, good at the organization and scheduling of positional battles, and his personal desire to attack is not strong but his open shots are accurate.

Vujacic played for the Lakers for a few years, winning two championships with the boss. His role on the basketball court is not very big, the offense is inconsistent, the defense is not good, although the defensive attitude is simply positive, but the effect is not good. Perhaps his only role in the NBA is to raise the team's profile.

Today's alignment between him and Yi Feng may be the most handsome set of alignments in NBA history.

As a rookie in the class of 2015, Porzingis performed well in the first few games of the regular season, at least worthy of his pick.

Although the team's record has been poor, with only 1 win and 4 losses at present, the winning rate is far less than half. But that's not the reason for Porzingis.

As a rookie, he's done everything he can. You can't ask every rookie to be like Yi Feng.

Before the start of the game, he jumped the ball in the middle circle and saw a guy named Lopez again, which made Yi Feng a little dumbfounded.

I played with the Nets' Lopez the day before yesterday, and today I have to play against the Knicks' Lopez.

He actually couldn't tell the legendary Lopez brothers, looking at Robin Lopez who was about to jump ball, at first glance he thought it was the Nets that Brook Lopez joined the Knicks.

The Lopez brothers are the same height, and there is not much difference in appearance. If you don't know them well, you really can't tell who is who.

Of course, this is only in life.

On the basketball court, their technical styles are very different. The older brother, Brook Lopez, has better offensive skills, while the younger brother, Robin Lopez, is longer defensive.

But Yi Feng knows that after being in the NBA for so long, it is impossible for them not to make a little progress. Robin Lopez, who is good at defense, may have honed his offensive skills a long time ago. Otherwise, the Knicks wouldn't have given him a multimillion-dollar contract.

Tonight's game is the first time that Kobe Bryant has been absent since the new season, which means a lot to Yi Feng.

Kobe Bryant doesn't play, which means that he is the only core on the court, and he is the real boss who says nothing else. Everything that runs the team is centered around him.

But correspondingly, the responsibility on his shoulders is also heavier, and winning and losing are all tied to one.

This game is an important game for him to grow into a team leader.

Such a game is destined not to be easy.

At the beginning of the game, although Roy Hibbert struggled to win the first offensive right for the team, Yi Feng deliberately passed the ball in order to pursue the rationality of the team's attack, wanting his teammates to play first.

As a result, a good opportunity was missed, and a hard-won offensive right was lost.

Why is it hard-won, Yi Feng experienced this very deeply in the next game.

Roy Hibbert vs. Robin Lopez, although there is a slight height advantage, Robin Lopez is a strange guy whose offensive rebounding ability is stronger than defensive rebounding ability, and Hibbert is now just empty in height and his rebounding ability has deteriorated seriously.

Let's look at the other set of interior matchups, rookie Kristaps Porzingis vs. sophomore Julius Randle. It stands to reason that Randle should have had one more year of experience than Porzingis, but the sad hapless kid didn't play in his rookie season, suffering a major injury in the regular season opener and reimbursing the season.

Therefore, there is not much difference in the experience of the two men.

HOWEVER, PORZINGIS IS A SUPER BIG MAN WITH A HEIGHT OF 220CM, WHILE RANDALL IS ONLY 206CM TALL, AND THE WORST THING IS THAT THIS IS STILL A LIE. As a teammate, Yi Feng knew that he was only a little shorter when he stood beside him.

This huge height gap made Randall very uncomfortable. Because when he attacks, he will have a pair of big white hands on his head, and when he grabs rebounds, these big white hands will take the ball away from his head!

It's a hell of a thing!

The Lakers' rebounds were blown up badly.

The Lakers' rebounding has always been a weakness, and they usually rely on guards to rush for rebounds to barely protect the team's backcourt rebounds. So Clarkson, Yi Feng, Kobe Bryant and others are not low in rebounds.

Especially Yi Feng, with his height and arm length plus the advantage of awareness and bounce, the number of rebounds even exceeds that of many interior players.

But tonight, this shortcoming of the Lakers was exposed.

There was no advantage on the inside, and the rebound was grabbed by the opponent. In the past four or five minutes of the first quarter, the most rebounds in the Lakers team turned out to be Yi Feng, a scoring guard!

Byron Scott was furious at the timeout, and he was very upset about the fact that the team's rebounds were blown out.

Roy Hibbert's "high roundness" can't protect the backcourt rebounds, and Randle's guy is not tall enough to actively get in the position!

As a result, the two of them were sprayed in the face by Scott.

After being scolded, Hibbert played more aggressively, and looked like he was fighting for his life; And Randle has also become more active in the basket position, as long as he is serious in the position, the lanky Porzingis is much less likely to grab the frontcourt rebound.

The vulnerability in the internal line has been slightly fixed.

But a new problem has arisen.

Carmelo Anthony went berserk.

Anthony is a representative of the 03 golden generation, and he was also a super small forward who once competed with LeBron James. However, until now, James has won one award after another, and he has won two championships, but he still has "nothing".

In his rookie season, he led the Nuggets to the playoffs, and since then, he has led the Nuggets to the playoffs every year, and later made it to the Western Conference Finals once.

However, that's about it.

Although he has also won the scoring title, his future is slim in the black hole of the Knicks.

Just like Maddie, his career has been filled with pathos. Of course, his career has not come to an end yet, and it is too early to say for sure. After all, he has been working hard.

Work as hard as you did tonight.

Facing Nick Young tonight, Anthony can be said to have what he wants.

First, he tried to break through and made a layup, and then grabbed an offensive rebound on Nick Young's head, and made a big stride to cause Randle to foul.

This is not the end, after the Lakers missed the attack, he took the defensive rebound and dribbled across the frontcourt by himself, and even hit a three-point chase directly!

One man hit a 7-0 mini-climax two minutes later to give his team an 11-point lead.

And at this moment, there are still more than 4 minutes until the end of the first quarter.
