Chapter 67: The End of the Road Trip
I don't know if it's a recurrence of injuries or if D'Antoni thinks the Monster is performing average, and Howard is still sitting on the sidelines to rest when the Green Army finishes blowing up the Lakers inside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Jeff Green, a former Thunder veteran, scored consecutive points, and even staged an easy layup like Dapeng spreading his wings, and the Lakers restricted area was in a mess for a while.
It wasn't until the third minute of the second quarter that Howard was back in action. However, the mood of the monster is still not high, his face is expressionless, and he doesn't even have the habitual smile of the past, almost all of them are mechanical switchback runs, and he only scored 5 points and 4 rebounds in the final half.
What's more, Howard's free throws weren't bad enough to hit 1-of-6, Garnett and Green scored 20 points in the half, and the Monsters looked very emotional on both ends of the floor.
At the beginning of the second half, Howard elbowed an attack and fouled in the middle of the offense, and he ran back to the backcourt with his head hanging down and a blank face.
And in the subsequent defense, Garnett asked for the ball inside and forced a hook hand, and Howard under him even did a squat action and watched the opponent score without jumping.
Howard, who had no fighting spirit, directly left the court with six fouls, and Howard's mood on the court has been very calm, and he seems to have lost the fighting spirit of the game.
Unlike the previous games, Kobe Bryant did not choose "pass first" today, but repeatedly made baskets to eat opponents, and defensive giants Bradley and Contney Lee took turns to press him closely, but Kobe Bryant was very resolute in his face.
In addition to being aggressive on the offensive end, Kobe Bryant's defense is also extremely hard, and he grabbed 6 rebounds in a single quarter in the first quarter.
Although Ye Feng used Guan Yu's military card, he still couldn't save the team, in the last quarter, the Lakers had fallen behind by as many as 20 points, completely losing the possibility of winning the game, Ye Feng hit two of the six three-point shots in the whole game, and the three-point shooting rate was not high at all, but being able to hit three points was already an improvement for Ye Feng, but now he is not very suitable for three-point shots in the game!
Kevin Garnett played just 23 minutes and contributed 15 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals on 6-of-10 shooting.
Garnett became the 16th player in NBA history to reach 25,000 points, and Garnett became the first player in the NBA to score 25,000 points, grab 10,000 rebounds, hand out 5,000 assists, and contribute 1,500 blocks and 1,500 steals.
The feeling of losing is very depressing, but the away trip is still going on, Ye Feng sat on the plane with headphones listening to soothing music, the Lakers are going to fly to Charlotte, the Charlotte Bobcats are a relatively weak team, but the Bobcats played unusually tough in this game.
The Bobcats led the Lakers by 6 points at halftime and entered the second half with a score of 56:50, Kobe Bryant and Howard did not score a point in the half, but Kobe Bryant's career total defensive rebounds exceeded 5000, including Ye Feng in the first half of the Lakers Ye Feng shot six of eight, three-point and four shot two, a total of 14 points.
In the end, the Lakers still relied on Kobe's crucial fourth quarter 14 points to win the game, Ye Feng got 18 points and 7 assists, and the Lakers reversed the Bobcats 100-93 away.
The NBA regular season continued, and the Lakers traveled to Miami to compete against the top team in the East, the Heat, who defeated the Lakers 107-97 under the leadership of James after a full game.
After this game, the Heat defeated the Lakers twice this season, and at the same time ushered in a five-game winning streak, still in the top of the Eastern Conference with 34 wins and 14 losses, while the Lakers' 24-28 record ranked tenth in the West.
Although the Lakers lost to the Heat, Ye Feng contributed a wonderful performance in this game to shock all fans, Ye Feng faced the Big Three of the Heat, Ye Feng scored 32 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds Super data, so that all fans realized the power of this guard from China.
Ye Feng shot 14 of 22 in the whole game, including 4 of 8 3-pointers, a total of 32 points, and Ye Feng, who scored 30+, made many domestic fans excited, Ye Feng's performance is getting better and better, and now he is scoring 32 points in the face of the Big Three of the Heat.
Then the Lakers finally ended their painful road trip and returned home to face the Suns, but today Kobe Bryant fell into a slump, Kobe Bryant only scored 4 points on 1-of-8 shooting, although he also had 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, but also as many as 8 turnovers.
In this game, Howard and Ye Feng's wonderful cooperation, a combination of inside and outside, allowed the Lakers to defeat the Suns at home, Howard scored a big double-double with 19 points and 18 rebounds, Ye Feng scored 20 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds, and finally the Lakers defeated the Suns 91-85 at home.
The NBA regular season continued, and the Lakers and Clippers kicked off the Los Angeles city derby, but the game was not as fierce as expected, and the Clippers' crazy offensive momentum beat the Purple Shirts to the ground, and finally the Lakers lost to the Clippers 101-125.
After this game, the Lakers are 25-29 and still in 10th place in the West; The Clippers, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning streak and are in third place in the West with a 39-17 record. The Clippers beat the Lakers three times this season.
Facing Chris Paul, Ye Feng seemed a little inexperienced, especially the flexible Paul's needle-threading pass made Ye Feng very uncomfortable, Paul scored 24 points and 13 assists, leading the Clippers to a 125-101 victory over Ye Feng's Lakers.
"Hey, Ye, don't be too depressed, you're still young, I've been playing for several years, you still have a lot of potential, but you still need to learn how to master passing, come on! That's right, it's going to be an all-star right away! Strive to get a rookie MVP back! Paul smiled and hugged Ye Feng.
"Thanks, Chris, but I won't easily admit defeat next time we fight, the victory must be mine!" Ye Feng said firmly.
Paul is right, although Ye Feng's personal strength is already good, there is still a distance in the face of these old fritters who have been in the NBA for many years, and the most important thing for Ye Feng at the moment is to participate in the rookie challenge.
As the boss of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant is naturally a frequent visitor to the All-Star, Howard was also selected for the All-Star Game, and Ye Feng, who is a rookie, was only selected for the All-Star Rookie Game.
Early in the morning of February 16, Ye Feng and Kobe Bryant parted ways, and as players in the All-Star Game, they needed to participate in community activities.
