I have to admit that the alliance has mastered the traffic password.

If the schedule is arranged according to the situation of last season's playoffs, the Christmas game should be the Warriors VS Rockets, after all, the two sides collided with the Earth in the Western Conference Finals, and the Rockets, who took the lead in winning the match point, almost overturned the Warriors.

And the Rockets who lost the game are also not convinced, after all, the core point guard of their team, Paul, missed the last two games due to injury, if Paul is still there, it may be the Rockets who enter the finals and lift the championship trophy.

But the league finally decided that the Christmas game was the Warriors vs. the Lakers, and the Rockets' Christmas game was against another Los Angeles team, the James-led Clippers.

Why is this arranged? The reason is simple, the Lakers and Warriors are currently the hottest and most concerned teams in the league, and in terms of ratings, it is the most suitable choice for these two teams to meet.

I'm afraid that even the league didn't expect that the Lakers in the new season would take off directly, and now they lead the league in terms of record, even more ruthless than the Warriors.

This can be regarded as a crooked play, the meeting of two teams with the top three records in the league can be regarded as Mars hitting the earth, especially to strengthen Jimmy. After Butler, the Lakers are officially qualified to compete for the championship.

It's just whether there is a chance to win the championship, and the most important thing is whether you can pass the Warriors!

……

On December 25th, Oracle Arena in Auckland, the visiting team locker room.

"Guys, this game is probably the toughest game for us since the start of the regular season."

Wang Feng said to his teammates. "Our goal this season is the championship! The Warriors are a mountain we have to climb to win a championship, and if we can't beat them, it's all talk. ”

As he spoke, Wang Feng smiled. "Don't be intimidated by the Warriors' three-time title in four years, it sounds amazing, but two of their three crowns were won with my help, and the only championship they lost in the Finals was also lost to me."

There was a burst of laughter from his teammates.

Although Wang Feng's words were slightly exaggerated, he did not brag.

Whether it is two championships in the Warriors or one championship in the Cavaliers, although Wang Feng is not the first core, he also plays an extremely important role, and it is really difficult to say whether these championships can be won without him.

The Lakers are now strong and leading in terms of record, so what is there to be afraid of? That's it!

"The key to winning this game is how to curb the play of Curry and Durant."

Head coach Wharton added: "Wang Feng, Durant is up to you, as an old rival, I believe you also know how to deal with him. ”

"As for Curry, if necessary, we're going to wrap them up like we did with Harden for the Rockets, and we can put their power forward Drummond if the situation is appropriate. Green shoots from the three-point line or even from mid-to-long range. ”

In fact, compared with the tactical arrangement before the game, the more important thing is to play on the field.

During the two years that the Warriors were invincible in the league, all the teams carefully studied their tactical characteristics and style of play, and the game footage is probably almost vomited, but how many teams can beat the Warriors?

If you want to win, it comes down to the performance of your own players, especially the stars of the house.

……

The competition soon began.

The Lakers' starters are still Rondo, Butler, Ingram, Wang Feng and Lopez.

The Warriors' starting five are Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green and Kevin. Looney.

The aftermath of the Warriors' signing of Cousins is already starting to show.

Cousins was injured and suspended, and the Warriors let go of blue-collar interior Pachulia, and the interior rim protection became a problem, and many times only Looney as a forward could be used as a cameo at the center position.

The two sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, facing the 2.06-meter-tall Looney, and the 2.13-meter-tall López won a rare once.

The Lakers possessed the ball, Rondo dribbled the ball over half court and passed the ball to Wang Feng, and the Lakers' first ball was played by Wang Feng.

In the face of Green's defense, Wang Feng used the first step master badge to quickly break through the opponent, and then made an 18-foot jumper from the basket, and the basketball hit steadily.

2:0, Wang Feng took the lead for the Lakers.

"Why are you moving so slowly, haven't you eaten today?"

Wang Feng, who threw the shot, turned his head and sneered at Green.

The relationship between Wang Feng and Green has not been very good since the Warriors period, and the relationship has been even worse later, Green has criticized Wang Feng more than once in interviews or various TV shows, Wang Feng is not used to Green, basically every time he plays against the Warriors, Wang Feng has to beat Green on the offensive end, anyway, Warriors head coach Kerr must want Green, the strongest defender, to deal with himself.

This game was no exception, it was still Green who defended Wang Feng.

The vast majority of the league's forwards will have a headache against Green, after all, this is a defensive player with good strength and speed, no fear of confrontation, excellent defensive awareness and a rather dark shot.

But Wang Feng was not afraid of Green.

Wang Feng's strength of 88 is even slightly stronger than Green's, and the agility of 93 speed and 94 plus the first step master is even more powerful in speed.

Of course, not being afraid of Green does not mean that the other party is really completely unable to influence him.

Green really can't weaken Wang Feng's offensive efficiency, but the kraft candy-style defensive entanglement and various upsetting small actions can invisibly consume more of Wang Feng's physical energy.

In the playoffs last season, in the divisional semifinals, Wang Feng played the entire series in Green's full harassment, although his personal data is very luxurious, but often in the fourth quarter of the game, his physical fitness has been exhausted by Green.

The result of this lack of stamina is less efficiency on the offensive end, and there is less energy on the defensive end to keep an eye on an enemy offensive arrow like Durant.

Wang Feng had used such a move on Durant who was still on the Thunder team before, and he never thought that he would fall into the same situation.

It's just that it was last season, and in the new season, Wang Feng's physical fitness has been enhanced by elite enhancement points, and has reached 97, and he can fight longer on the field.

What's more, Wang Feng has a new purple Hall of Fame-level badge - Key Shooter.

This badge, which will only take effect in the last 2 minutes, is currently Wang Feng's secret weapon, specially prepared for the Warriors!

Hearing Wang Feng's ridicule, Green shot back with a black face: "This is the basketball court, the basket is there, anyone with their eyes closed can get a few balls, if you want to shout, wait until you win the game." ”

"I will!" Wang Feng responded with a smile.
