In the new season, Durant averaged nearly 28 points per game, an increase of nearly 3 points from last season's average of 25.1 points per game, and correspondingly, the number of shots was nearly 2.5 more than last season.

As a result, Curry's scoring average dropped to 24.4 points per game from 25 last season, while Thompson fell below the 20 mark and now averages 19.2 points per game.

However, Durant's improvement in personal data has not improved the Warriors' record, and even after the start of the new season, the Warriors' record has been up and down, not to mention compared to the 74-win period, even compared to last season, it is slightly worse, with only a 72.7% win rate so far, 16 wins and 6 losses in 22 games.

This record is already very good if you put it on the rest of the league, and as long as you maintain your win rate, you can end the season with nearly 60 wins.

But for the Warriors, this winning rate is already extremely unqualified.

You must know that in the first three seasons, the Warriors won more than 65 regular season games, especially in the 15-16 season, and won a record-breaking 74 wins!

Both the fans and the team management were extremely unhappy with the result.

And the game with the Lakers, although it won, but it played an overtime and the game was stalemate until the last minute, which made Warriors fans extremely disappointed.

That's a team with just 26 wins last season! Just because there is one more Wang Feng, can you compete with the Warriors?

On the contrary, the fans who support the Lakers are happy to die, even if they are defeated!

In the face of two regular season Ps in the current year, plus two All-Stars of the super invincible universe, the Lakers were able to force each other to that extent, in exchange for the beginning of the season, someone told them that the Lakers were so powerful, I am afraid that no one would believe it!

By the end of November, the Lakers have a record of 12-8, a 60% win rate, and are in fourth place in the West, behind the Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers.

No one could have imagined that after the start of the new season, the teams in the West would be ranked like this.

After some manipulation in the summer, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who got the Big Three lineup and was highly anticipated, struggled very much, and the tactical play of the Big Three could not be compatible. Anthony's form has declined severely, with his points per game averaging plummeting to 16.2.

The traditional powerhouse San Antonio Spurs are because of the star Kafai. Leonard was reimbursed for the season, and the team was severely affected by the absence of a key player.

As for the other teams, the Utah Jazz, New Orleans Pelicans, Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets, although they are all strong, they are clearly lacking.

In this way, the possibility of the Lakers entering the playoffs this season is really very high, and they can even enter the upper half of the division, and there is a possibility of breaking through the first round and entering the division semifinals.

There is no doubt that these are all brought by Wang Feng!

……

"King, you are here, sit down."

In the office of the Lakers general manager, Johnson smiled and ushered Wang Feng into his seat and asked his assistant to serve Wang Feng a cup of coffee.

"Manager, what's the matter with me?"

Wang Feng took a sip of coffee, and then asked.

For the legendary point guard, who is now the team's general manager, Magic, suddenly talked to him, Wang Feng is quite strange.

At present, the Lakers team has a good record, and a number of young players are constantly growing and improving in the game, and Johnson, as the general manager, should be very comfortable recently.

"That's right, King."

Johnson returned to his seat and smiled. "To be honest, the team's recent record has greatly exceeded our own expectations, the Lakers are currently fourth in the West, there is a good chance of making the playoffs, I have communicated with the team owner, management and coaching staff in the past few days, and we all think that we can do more to make the team into the playoffs and even make a difference in the playoffs."

"Oh?"

Wang Feng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Johnson to say this, then what he meant......

"That's right, we want to make further additions to the team through trades." Johnson said. "Especially the reinforcement of the point guard position."

As the league's all-time No. 1 point guard, Johnson is well aware of the problems that the Lakers have now.

Although Wang Feng has the ability to attack with the ball, he does not understand organization and tandem, and can only create the lethality of singles on the court, which is theoretically similar to Durant's style positioning.

However, a strong team can't just rely on one super scorer to keep winning.

As strong as Kobe, it was only after getting Pippen that he began to be invincible, and the big shark O'Neal lost to the Jazz in the Lakers two consecutive years before Kobe Bryant grew up, lost to the Spurs in the third year, and did not start the dynasty until the fourth year with the Lakers.

Now many people are bragging about how invincible and unstoppable O'Neal was at his peak, but why did O'Neal, who was so strong, win the first championship of his career at the age of 28?

As strong as Jordan O'Neal, Johnson naturally knows that it is absolutely impossible for Wang Feng alone to lead the Lakers far in the playoffs, and it is very good to be able to play a first round.

In fact, for Johnson himself, there is no hurry, this season the Lakers can return to the playoffs is already a success, next season the team vacates Brook. Lopez's contract, the signing of a top star with the highest salary, and the team's young players continue to grow for two or three years, the Lakers will definitely have the strength to attack the championship.

But he could afford to wait, the team's owner, Jenny. Buzz can't afford to wait.

Although he temporarily drove away his brother and gained real power of the Lakers, it revolves around Jenny. Buss is no less of a threat and she will have to make a quick push to secure her grip on the team.

There are too many issues of politics and power struggle involved that Johnson alone can decide.

"Will you strengthen this season......

Wang Feng couldn't help frowning slightly.

He and Johnson actually have similar ideas, it would be good for the Lakers to enter the playoffs this season, of course, it would be best if they could go further, after all, for Wang Feng, who has a system, the farther the playoffs go, the richer the rewards will be.

But the problem is that under the influence of Wang Feng, during the trade deadline of the 17-18 season, there were no particularly good point guards, and there were even no good players in other positions.

It was Johnson's remark that reminded Wang Feng that it seemed that in another time and space, the Lakers made a trade with the Cavaliers before the trade deadline, trading Nance and Clarkson to the Cavaliers in exchange for Isaiah. Thomas & Channing. Furley.
