The next day was October 22, and the Lakers had another game in the evening, against the Clippers in the same city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Nominally, the Clippers are the home team, the Lakers are the away team, and the floor of the court will be covered with the Clippers logo.

But in fact, since 1999, when the Staples Center was put into use and became a shared arena between the Clippers and the Lakers, the Clippers have never felt the atmosphere at home when they played the Lakers.

The Lakers already existed when the NBA was founded, and of course they were called the Minneapolis Lakers at that time, and they were still next to the Great Lakes, so they were called the Lakers.

In 1960, the Lakers moved to Los Angeles, and it became a basketball symbol and sports brand in Los Angeles.

The Clipper was only established in 1978 in San Diego, a famous port city in Southern California, so it was named the Clipper.

In 1984, the Clippers owner was fooled by Lakers owner Buss and moved the team to Los Angeles.

The history of the two teams is so different, and the record is even more heaven and earth.

After the Lakers arrived in Los Angeles, they played the playoffs almost every year, won 9 championships, and just won three consecutive championships in the first two years.

The Clippers, from their inception to the present, have played the playoffs a total of 9 times, and in recent years, they have been even worse, and the last time they played the playoffs was back in the 96-97 season.

There are a few statues outside the Staples Center arena, but they don't have a dime to do with the Clippers.

In such a comparison, Los Angeles fans, of course, will not buy the Clippers' account, and the Lakers invisibly have two more home courts every year.

The Clippers are the opposite, missing two home courts.

However, the media in Los Angeles have long been hyping up the game.

This year, the Clippers drew the No. 2 pick, but they had no interest in the two hot big men, so they traded draft picks with the Bobcats.

They used the Bobcats' No. 4 pick to select Livingston, a talented high school student who is considered the successor to the Magic.

It just so happened that the Lakers also selected a "Chinese magician", who was born in the Olympics and was selected by the NBA as the best team of the Olympics.

The Lakers signed this second-round show with a contract bigger than the champion show, and Lu Xiaofeng's name is of course on the cusp, and the media must of course find a topic.

is also playing organizational guard, is the "Chinese magician" powerful, or the "magician successor"?

Not only the media is interested, but so are the fans in Los Angeles.

Livingston is more than two meters tall, taller than some small forwards, and has long hands and feet, and in terms of size, he really looks like the "Magic" Johnson beloved by Los Angeles fans.

In the previous preseason, although he played as a substitute, he still averaged 5 assists per game.

And Lu Xiaofeng of the Lakers team has been a starter from the beginning, playing better than one game, not only passing the ball with the style of a magician, but also breaking through, shooting, and dunking, which is more exciting than Magic.

Such two young people with amazing talent and promising prospects are of course vigorously praised by the media, and the "Los Angeles Times" even called them "lifelong enemies".

The first collision of two "lifelong enemies", even though it is a preseason, is also highly anticipated.

Lakers fans have been conquered by Lu Xiaofeng's excellent performance in the previous games and have full confidence in him.

Lu Xiaofeng's fans didn't take Livingston seriously at all.

I can't help the media hype!

What's more, before the game is played, who can say for sure?

What if Lu Xiaofeng doesn't play well at that time, or the other party plays extraordinarily?

"What is Livingston? Thin as a bamboo pole, as soon as Lu Xiaofeng broke through, he would definitely fall to the ground. ”

"Doesn't Lu Xiaofeng bully people based on his height? Sean is a lot taller than him, see what he does? I can't wait to see him helpless on the pitch. ”

"What does Livingston compare to Lu Xiaofeng? In addition to height, strength, speed, shooting, and breakthrough, which one can be compared? ”

"Those stupid X media, the two of them are not of the same magnitude at all, are they more hairy?"

"Still a 'lifelong enemy'? Lu Xiaofeng looks like a superstar, has the Clippers ever produced a superstar? ”

……

Fans are fighting on the Internet, and the fans of the Lakers and Lu Xiaofeng certainly have the upper hand, but the other party does not admit defeat.

Both sides need a head-to-head game to battle it out.

Chen Yuhan, who pays attention to the media, also told Lu Xiaofeng about it, but he laughed it off and didn't feel at ease at all.

After breakfast, he went out with Chen Yuhan and went straight to the Lakers headquarters training hall.

Generally speaking, NBA teams do not schedule training on days when there are games.

There are some strict coaches who will arrange drills, and it is just low-intensity shooting drills.

Tang Shuai's coaching style is a "chicken soup type", which is obviously looser, and no training is arranged.

That's why a group of people ran out to play after the game last night.

However, Lu Xiaofeng has developed the habit of training every day, and he knows that every wonderful performance on the field is inseparable from the tempering in training.

So, as usual, he arrived at the training hall at about 8 o'clock.

It's still the gym to train strength first, and then go to the court to practice basketball.

When I got to the court, I saw Kobe.

He was already soaked in a training suit, and he knew that he had been practicing for a long time.

"Hey! Bryant! Lu Xiaofeng said hello.

"Hey! Laughing wind! What a surprise to meet you! ”

Bryant immediately stopped, smiling.

"Didn't you hang out last night? You're still here to train? ”

Kobe Bryant just finished the "sexual assault case" lawsuit, and during his days in Los Angeles, of course, he went back to coax his wife after work, and he didn't attend last night's party at all.

"I went back early! I'm afraid they're still sleeping! Ha ha! ”

"Very good! Stay away from those flesh and bones! ”

Kobe glanced at Chen Yuhan on the sidelines, lowered his voice and said.

Kobe Bryant didn't come in the afternoon, and his schedule was different from Lu Xiaofeng's.

Lu Xiaofeng only practiced until four o'clock, then ended his training, and he had to go to the Staples Center Arena to compete in the evening!

Go home and have a nutritious and delicious dinner, and head to the city center.

In back-to-back games, the teammates went out to indulge for another night last night, and Lu Xiaofeng was also prepared for their state in his heart.

But on the field, Lu Xiaofeng found that he still overestimated the physical strength and state of his teammates.

I don't know if it was because I was sucked dry by the "big breasts and fat buttocks" last night, or because yesterday's game overdrew my physical strength, Odom became soft-footed shrimp one by one.

Lu Xiaofeng turned around to block Carman's layup, flew to save the ball, and threw the ball towards Odom in the air.

In order to avoid Carman's interception, the ball was deliberately passed a little higher, but it only took Odom a light jump to get it.

But Odom slowed down and didn't jump, watching the basketball fly off the sideline.

Butler was also out of shape, and Lu Xiaofeng's several passes, he wasted opportunities, either hitting the iron or slipping his hand and losing the ball.

Mime, who is in the center position, is the worst, he is completely sleepwalking on the field, and he is passed by Carman and Brand in one step, and his pace is slow.

was also robbed of several frontcourt rebounds by the opponent on his head.

Tang Shuai couldn't stand it anymore and sent that old guy from Grant.

But on the court, Grant is also a bird, and he wasn't absent last night!

Among the Lakers' players, only Kobe Bryant and Lu Xiaofeng are still playing vigorously.

So, seeing that their teammates were thin, both of them strengthened their individual offense, and with a group of soft-footed shrimp teammates, they fought against the Clippers.

Livingston came off the bench and finally faced Lu Xiaofeng, and the duel that fans were looking forward to was finally staged.

Livingston's passing, big-picture and timing are very good, and the Clippers have no problem selecting him with the No. 4 pick.

But once Lu Xiaofeng was more serious, he exposed the weakness of high school students.

On the defensive end, his thin body was already at a loss for Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't need to play any difficult technical moves, just a simple acceleration breakthrough, a power confrontation, squeezed him aside and easily broke through.

On the offensive end, after Lu Xiaofeng began to defend seriously, his dribbling became difficult.

His center of gravity was originally higher than Lu Xiaofeng, and his speed and flexibility were much worse, and after being continuously tackled by Lu Xiaofeng, the function of the ball control organization was basically abolished.

And his other skills have not yet been practiced to the extent of adapting to the NBA.

It's no wonder that Lu Xiaofeng didn't take him seriously.

Livingston is a real high school student, compared with Lu Xiaofeng, a precocious high school student, whether it is physical or technical, he seems too immature, how can he compare?

However, it was not Lu Xiaofeng and Livingston who decided the game.

Although Kobe Bryant and Lu Xiaofeng have broken through 30 points one after another, a group of pig teammates with weak legs really can't take it!

In the fourth quarter, seeing that he was too far behind, Tang Shuai also decisively gave up the game and withdrew the main force.

A pre-season game full of anticipation ended up being a hasty end like other pre-seasons.

However, Lu Xiaofeng scored another 30+ points, and in the preseason game where he didn't care about the outcome of the game, the fans were satisfied.

Those fans who were fighting with their mouths stopped at once and became divers.

was quite Lu Xiaofeng, and after taunting his opponent with satisfaction, he found that no one paid attention to it, so he had to stop fighting.

Lu Xiaofeng finally realized the biggest difference between NBA games and national team games.

In the national team, every game represents the honor of the country, even if you lose, you must play with momentum and play hard.

The NBA game, on the other hand, is just the job of professional players.

Game after game, the players are not robots, but flesh and blood, big living people who need to eat and sleep, there are always times when they slack off, and they don't take it to heart when they lose.

The teammates sat on the bench, watching the game behind by a big score, still talking and laughing.

Even if you lose in the finals, it's not the end of the world, it's not a big deal, life goes on, and there are more games to play!

Thinking about it like this, Lu Xiaofeng, who was a little depressed, became happy.

It doesn't seem so important to win or lose the game, it's all about having fun. (To be continued.) )
