Chapter 386 - One Belt and Four Steady Wins~ (2/3)
Booker and his teammates wanted to win against the Lakers today, but when they saw the other party's attitude towards them, they felt very uncomfortable!
Li Feng: "Your next opponent is me." ”
Booker: "I'm going to go head-to-head with Kobe!" ”
Kobe: "It's enough to have Li Feng." I'd better go with Warren."
Soon Chandler served, and Li Feng and Booker immediately became entangled in the backcourt!
Booker easily passed Li Feng in the middle of the half, and then passed the ball to Tucker under Russell's defense, who got up and hit a three-point shot!
Then Kobe Bryant held the ball across the half court, and Li Feng immediately returned a three-point shot under the cover of Randle after receiving the ball!
After a few rounds, the Suns obviously can't keep up with the rhythm of the Lakers.
24:20! Coach Watson asked for a timeout and made a simple set-up. The Lakers had already put the score in the lead.
The Suns coach's set-up didn't make much of a difference, and the first quarter ended 33-24.
Because of the recent game against the Cavaliers, Li Feng quickly discovered Owen's temporary skill pack in the mall.
Orange Owen shooting pack, this Li Feng wants to try it, and the temporary skill pack is only valid for 1 hour.
So the price is relatively cheaper, Li Feng is useless in the first quarter, and he looks a lot clumsy against Booker on the court.
Most of the points are scored by Kobe Bryant and Randle.
The fans at the scene were also a little disappointed with Li Feng's performance.
Tucker: "It's okay for Kobe Bryant to stay on the court?" ”
Booker: "I also know that Kobe Bryant won't be playing that long. However, I always had a vague feeling that it was not very good...... I don't know why......"
Tucker: "Don't think about it so much~ We almost won the Lakers in the last game!"
Maybe the Lakers have played well this season, but in the game against us, maybe we restrain them?
We lost the first game of the season, but we won the second game! In the last game, we almost won the Lakers twice in a row! ”
Booker: "We didn't have Li Feng involved when we won the Lakers...... Is this guy really that good?
If it was last season, I would still be a little sure to win Li Feng. But this season, Li Feng has become more mysterious.
Have you seen a video of him playing against players from other teams? ”
Tucker: "It's on!" He's more confrontational, but is it as good as me? Let's go! ”
During the timeout, the head coach of the Suns briefly told him that Watson still had arrangements behind him, so he temporarily let the players rest.
Back on the court, the players on Phoenix's side were a little confused at first, and their Suns were played with Knight and Booker.
And the Lakers' lineup is Zubac, Black, Ingram, Li Feng and Ennis!!
This lineup is too funny, isn't it?!
Li Feng used the orange Owen shooting bag at this time! After the shooting ability is greatly increased, the other stats are just randomly increased by a few points.
But Li Feng felt that his other skills had also increased well, and this skill pack made Li Feng feel very easy to use at the beginning~
Warren: "Ingram? Look how I beat him up in the second quarter today! Knight, that Ennis is also your teammate with the Bucks, right? How strong is he now? ”
Knight: "Ennis is the Lakers' three-line guard, and Li Feng is now a first-team player for the Lakers.
But in Ennis's words, there is no threat. ”
Warren: "Wharton is going to give us a win today, hahaha!" ”
Tucker: "Huh. He dares to play the lineup like this, don't blame us for being polite! ”
Booker didn't speak, he looked at Li Feng's state at this time, and it seemed that there had been a big change from the first quarter of the game!
Tucker: "Booker, you suppress Li Feng, Warren suppresses Ingram, and the rest of the players are just shrimp soldiers and crab generals!" ”
Speaking of Li Feng on the Lakers' side, he has already dribbled over.
Am I really afraid of him?
Thinking of this, Booker immediately put aside the thoughts in his mind and ran directly towards Li Feng.
Although Li Feng's footsteps and confrontation have not changed much, his self-confidence seems to have increased a lot!
The two were in position, and Li Feng chose to pass the ball again!
Booker's hanging heart was only let go at this time, and it seemed that Li Feng was just bluffing.
Ingram just crossed the ball with Warren and was almost knocked to the ground!
As soon as he stabilized his body, he was directly cut off by Tucker!
Booker then received the ball in front of the court and immediately scored three points!
The players on the Suns bench immediately cheered for their team!
33:27! The players on Phoenix's side see hope again!
Playing with the current Lakers lineup, that is, two three-pointers can catch up!
Ennis rushed directly to the frontcourt, Booker didn't react, and the ball was already in Li Feng's hands.
Facing Knight's defense, Li Feng directly pulled out a jump shot and scored!
Tucker: "What do you mean, Knight?" Is it just for Li Feng? ”
The strong Tucker was a little unhappy at this time!
Knight: "I didn't let him go. Li Feng's shooting speed just now was very fast! ”
He saw the suspicious eyes of his teammates around him, and he was a little angry. But he directly said that it would be good for Booker to defend alone, and the rest of the players could help defend, and he didn't care.
Then Knight got the basketball and scored a layup under the bag of Li Feng and Ingram!
At this time, the teammates felt that Knight might be the fault.
Li Feng is in opposition to Booker at this time, but it is obvious that he seems to have a certain amount of ability enhancement in all aspects.
In their opinion, this may be a sign of Li Feng's high self-confidence. But why he turned out to be like this in this section is unknown.
Li Feng quickly held the ball and circled around Booker's side.
Ingram received Li Feng's pass and immediately passed it back! Booker reacted quickly!
Turn around as soon as you see it! But at this time, Li Feng had already jumped up and hit the three points again! Booker was a little dumbfounded!
39:29! The Lakers seem to be able to beat them to the Phoenix Suns with such a lineup?
That's a bit of, right?
Booker didn't believe it, and rushed straight to Li Feng!
Then he was caught by Ingram and Li Fengbao!
I didn't break through a few times, and I didn't jump three points directly!
Blake got a rebound and passed directly to Ennis, and Knight directly blocked him!
Ingram received Ennis's pass and rushed quickly with the ball!
When he met Warren head-on, Li Feng received a pass, rushed directly to the front court, and shot a three-point jumper next to Booker!
The players on the Lakers bench were worried at first, can Li Feng play like this with four?
Now what they're thinking about is that the Phoenix Suns want not to lose too badly......
was played like this by the Lakers' second- and third-team benches, so how will the next games be played?
I guess the Lakers' bench will play until the end of the game, right?
The score difference is 13 points at once!
Watson, who also held the Suns at the beginning to overtake the score, didn't know what to do at this time.
This can't be ahead, what are you playing?
How to make a substitution? There's no one to replace them now! All but Knight were the starters for tonight.
......
49:40! So far in the game, the faces of the players on Phoenix's side are all black.
They were actually pressed by a lineup like the Lakers......
Li Feng's performance in the second quarter made fans feel that Li Feng deliberately let Kobe Bryant score in the first quarter.
After Ennis got used to this rhythm, it was a little harder for Knight to defend him!
The Lakers played against the Spurs a few days ago, and they couldn't keep up with the pace of the Spurs.
And tonight the Suns don't seem to be able to keep up with the Lakers.
Although there is still a lot of news about the Lakers in Los Angeles this season, the mentality of the players has become much more focused!
There is nothing to say among the internal players, there are players like Kobe Bryant and Li Feng, and there are Wharton's good coaching ability.
Why can't you make it to the playoffs?!
This has gradually led to the Lakers players cooperating more and more tacitly on the court!
This is because there are fewer and fewer distractions in my mind.
There is a certain gap between the Lakers and the Suns now, but the players pass quickly and frequently!
After Ingram and Zubac's passes, Zubac immediately threw the ball to Ennis!
Phoenix could only passively chase after it, and the moment Ennis touched the ball, he threw the ball directly to Li Feng, who hit a three-point jump shot again!
In the second quarter of the game, the momentum of the players on the Suns' side was slowly declining.
It didn't take long for Zubac to score on the Lakers' side!
Then Ingram and Li Feng each shot a three-pointer!
Booker came directly to basketball, facing the Lakers' three-man three-point shot!
Seeing that the score difference had just been stretched to 20 points, Booker was really anxious!
Li Feng: "Lower the rhythm!" No rush now! ”
After seeing his teammates' mistakes, Li Feng immediately spoke! Booker didn't care what state the opponent was in at this time, and hit a three-point shot again after halftime!
Ennis received a long pass from Ingram and rushed up!
Blake, who passed the ball directly in the middle of the half, and only scored 2 points in the second quarter, took over the basketball and didn't have much time to watch it, and directly shot a three-pointer himself......
63:46! In the third quarter, the Lakers sent a lineup of Lore Deng, Black, Ingram, Russell and Loewe!
The third quarter ended 90-79.
Booker only had a 6-minute break in this quarter, and the whole team entered the mode of fighting with the Lakers!
As long as the margin is around 10 points, they have a chance to win!
Wharton didn't dare to slack off when he saw the difference in points, and he went back to chat after setting up the players......
In the fourth quarter, the Suns' lineup on this side was Alex, Chandler, Warren, Bledsoe and Booker!
The Lakers are Randle, Zubac, Nick Young, Kobe, and Li Feng!
At the beginning of the game, Kobe Bryant went directly to defend Booker!
This kid is in great shape today! One of the team's main scoring points!
Booker felt like his emotions were hovering on the edge at this point.
Seeing Kobe Bryant coming, he directly caught his teammate's block, and immediately after dismantling it, he immediately scored three points from a long distance!
Basketball is directly three out of bounds!
Zubac got the basketball and threw it directly to Nick Young, who rushed directly through Warren's defense and went straight to the basket with a three-point shot in the frontcourt!
In the second quarter, Li Feng led the team, and in the third quarter, Russell led the team.
In this quarter, Nick Young thought about it at this time, that is, he would mainly use him as a scoring point to play basketball.
Booker threw the ball at Chandler this time. The latter immediately faced Zubac with a violent slap!
......
113:96! In fact, in this game, the Lakers learned one more thing.
That's taking care of the emotions of the Suns players.
Wharton had to take a timeout for the last time, and the point of his instructions was not to fight on the field.
The margin was stretched to 20 points again in this quarter, and the state of the players on the Phoenix side was very different from the last game.
The last game was to win against the Lakers, but the Lakers made more mistakes in the later stages of that game and were almost killed by the Suns!
And the big picture of this game is decided at this time, and they also know what the result is, it's just how many points they lose.
Warren missed a three-point shot after halftime, and Nick Young didn't shoot a three-pointer anymore, and scored a layup directly in the half.
Bledsoe then hit a three-pointer, and Li Feng passed the ball to Randle, who allowed Alex to get a foul and hit all two free throws, and the Lakers scored two more points.
......
121:103! The Lakers won at the Suns' home court, and at Staples Arena, the Lakers won the Suns again!
We are almost halfway through the regular season this season. At this time, many teams have already felt the strength of the Lakers.
They really got stronger. After the fourth quarter of the Suns, the players' brains were buzzing......
It feels like coming to the home court of the Lakers is basically giving the victory to the opponent.
Chandler 9 points, 11 rebounds and 1 block! Tucker 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists! Warren 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists! Booker 39 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists! Bledsoe 15 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist!
After this game, Booker once again experienced the phrase "I'm too hard".
Your teammates have some defensive ability, but you score......
Booker famously made shots, but his teammates struggled to score.
On the Lakers' side, Zubac had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists! Randle 12 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists! Nick Young 17 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists! Kobe Bryant had 29 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and Li Feng had 23 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists!
Wharton has found that Zubac's defensive prowess has come to the fore in recent games.
When he came to the team, Zubac played in college with such a characteristic.
His scoring ability at this time still needs to be fed by his teammates, but the defense under the basket is much more active.
Maybe he didn't get much in a season with average per game, but Wharton knew that Zubac was a center with potential!
It's defensive! And the Lakers are lacking such a center to add defensive ability to the basket!
Walton said they were practicing and the Lakers were doing the same.
A game was played quickly, and the Lakers got the best result. That is, he got the opportunity to train and won the game.
But the Lakers players are not much happy at this time.
Wharton set them bigger goals. If the Spurs don't upset and get eliminated, then the Lakers will largely meet them.
Or even play the Spurs in the Western Conference finals! What the Lakers need to do now is still to strengthen their capabilities.
Improve the ability of players to work together.
By the second half of the regular season, Wharton will want the team to grab the winning percentage, and when the number of wins in the "must enter the playoffs" is reached, the Lakers can prepare for the playoffs in advance!
