Chapter 230: I Think Ingram is good

Ingram's ears couldn't help but prick up, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

He realized that Wang Feng's attitude can really influence the coach! After all, his performance in the six games of the regular season was too amazing, and he had the support of general manager Johnson, the famous Kobe Bryant and others, even the head coach Luke. Walton didn't want to offend the Lakers' popular star either.

If Wang Feng publicly asks the Lakers to adjust the lineup, he is very likely to be pressed on the bench and will never come out again!

It's not an exaggeration at all, although the list of eyes sounds beautiful, but after all, it's just a rookie, and there have been countless lists and even champions in the history of the league who were hidden by the team because they couldn't play well, and their careers ended directly!

"No, why do you think that?"

On TV, Wang Feng looked at the reporter with a surprised expression. "I think we're playing really well, I said this season that the goal is to make the playoffs, not win the championship, and now we have a 4-2 record, and the two losses are to the Raptors and the Jazz, you don't know what these two teams did last season, right?"

"Well, maybe you forgot, let me help you recall, both teams won more than 50 games last season and made it to the second round of the playoffs, you don't think these two teams are underdogs, right?"

"Let's talk about these young Lakers players, although I'm only 26 years old this year, it's really not that young compared to them...... They are young, full of potential and full of energy, but they also lack experience, and they need a lot of time and competition to hone their skills and experience, which is a long process that cannot be achieved immediately. ”

"Kobe Bryant averaged 7.6 points per game in his first season with the Lakers and 15.4 points in his second season, and if the Lakers were as impatient as you are, they would have lost what they thought was a historic star."

"As for Ingram, he's struggled lately, but I see amazing potential in him, he has the potential to be the top player in the league, and I think the Lakers can fully put in the time and patience to wait."

……

Ingram was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Wang Feng was actually speaking for him!

He had a confrontation with Wang Feng in the offseason, and the latter bloodied himself on the court with an 11-0, and since then, Ingram has hardly taken the initiative to speak to Wang Feng in daily training and games.

This is obviously an opportunity to fall into the well and drive himself out of the Lakers, why didn't Wang Feng do it?

He is actually very optimistic about himself? Think you have the potential to be a top player? Is this serious or casual?

Looking at Wang Feng's serious expression in front of the camera, Ingram felt that Wang Feng might really think so.

Ingram guessed right, Wang Feng was indeed serious.

As a traverser, Wang Feng certainly knows Ingram's level.

He is indeed not Durant, even if Wang Feng has been traded to the Pelicans before the crossing, and Zion, the core of the Pelicans. In the season when Williams was out due to injury, Ingram also failed to fully carry the team's offense on his shoulders.

But if you don't compare it to Durant, as a top show, Ingram's performance is already very good.

In the fourth season of his career, the first season of his trade to the Pelicans by the Lakers, Ingram was able to average 23.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, shooting above 46%, and remained stable at this level for the next few seasons.

This level obviously can't be used as the core of a team, but if it is used as a second or third offensive scoring point, then it is undoubtedly qualified.

Although Wang Feng established his prestige by suppressing Ingram when he first came to the Lakers, he did not directly drive Ingram away, and Ingram, who was in his rookie contract, was a standard cheap and easy-to-use instant force.

Under normal circumstances, Ingram should average 16 points and 5.3 rebounds per game this season, and the shooting rate can reach 47%.

Wang Feng has reason to believe that if Ingram is given a little time to adjust, he can get back into shape.

Ingram, who joined the NBA in 16, has 3 years left on his rookie contract and can be used until the end of the 2019-20 season. Top stars like Davis.

……

Wang Feng's interview seems to have woken up some Lakers fans.

yes, we're in a hurry? It's just two defeats, and our record is still 4-2!

And the Lakers soon won another game to give Lakers fans a shot in the arm.

On October 31, the Lakers hosted the Detroit Pistons, although the Pistons are not the bottom team in the league, but they hovered around the top ten in the East all the year round, which was not strong, so the Lakers easily won 113-93.

In this game, Wang Feng took fewer shots, scoring 24 points on 9-of-16 shooting.

But the Lakers' rookie players played like gods.

Larry. Nance 11 points, Lonzo. Ball 13 points and 6 assists, Julius. Randle 15 points and 7 rebounds, Kyle. Kuzma 12 points and 6 rebounds, Jordan. Clarkson 10 points.

And the much-criticized Brandon in the previous game. Ingram completely bottomed out in this game, scoring 21 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists on 8-of-14 shooting.

Seven players scored in double figures on the team, and the offense was hearty, giving Lakers fans a glimpse of what they can expect from this group of promising young people in the future.

October passed, and November came.

On November 2, the Lakers lost 119-116 in their away game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The two Trail Blazers backcourt players, Lillard and McCollum, scored 32 and 22 points, respectively, while Trail Blazers center Nurkic scored 32 and 22 points, respectively. Lopez had the upper hand in the matchup, scoring 28 points on 12-of-20 shooting.

On the Lakers' side, Wang Feng scored 39 points and 14 rebounds, but the overall strength of the team was weaker than that of the Trail Blazers, and he played away again, so he had no choice but to lose the game.

On Nov. 3, the Lakers returned home to face the Brooklyn Nets.

In the face of a league powerhouse like the Trail Blazers, the Lakers can't beat it, but against the bottom team like the Nets, who won 21 wins and 20 wins in two consecutive seasons, the Lakers team with 26 wins last season was ruthless.

At 124:112, the Lakers won easily.

Wang Feng scored 35 points, Ingram 18, Kuzma 21 and Lopes 18.

The Nets want to cry without tears, and they said that they would be fish belly together, why do you want to take off first?
