Chapter 371: 66 wins + triple-double per game + scoring champion

As a result, as soon as the game entered the second quarter, the bad consequences came.

Although there was a short break of about ten minutes for various reasons such as early departures, free throws, timeouts, and the end of the first quarter, it was impossible for a player to fully replenish his physical strength that had been overdrawn for ten minutes.

So at the beginning of the second quarter, Zion. Williams didn't make the show.

The Pelicans only have thick eyebrows, Davis and Zhu. Holiday came to support the scene.

In the face of the quasi-Big Three combination of Wang Feng + Butler + Ingram, how can they possibly hold on?

Within four minutes of the start of the second quarter, the Lakers unleashed a 12-4 attack wave to extend the margin to more than double digits in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the head coach of the Pelicans could only replace Zion, even if he had not rested well at this time, and the total score difference was expanded to an uncontrollable extent.

But does Zion's appearance really work?

When Wang Feng saw Zion on the stage, he immediately came over, and the offensive end continued to use his back body to force him to eat him, and the defensive end always maintained a stubborn defensive attitude, which further worsened Zion's already weak physical strength.

The Pelicans were outstretched in the first quarter, being outscored 37-25 in the first quarter and losing by 12 points in just one quarter.

At the end of the half, Pelicans fans were already leaving the game early in disappointment.

This game is already doomed to win.

The main starting team collapsed, the bench lineup was weak, and how could the Pelicans, who were only ranked tenth in the West, compete with the Lakers, who had the first record in the league?

Halfway through the third quarter of the second half, the two teams tacitly sent substitutes and replaced all the main players at the break.

Because at this time, the difference between the two teams has reached more than 20 points, and the Pelicans have no hope of turning the tables around, and surrender early.

Wang Feng, who was sitting on the sidelines wiping his sweat, was calm and relaxed, and even a little unhappy.

His statistics in this game are average, with only 29 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists so far, which is lower than the average data per game in the regular season.

But there is no way, the Pelicans have surrendered in advance before the third quarter of the game, and Wang Feng can't play all the bench lineups on the other side and stay on the court to score points, which is a bit too shameless, and it is also a little dangerous.

What if one of the Pelicans players loses and stealthily makes a black hand?

Although Wang Feng's stamina has been strengthened to 99 full value, and his body is very tough and difficult to get hurt, it is not really invincible, and there is still a certain probability that he will be injured, especially if someone does it deliberately.

Anyway, the purpose of teaching Zion a lesson in this game has been achieved, Wang Feng is satisfied, as for the loss of personal data, it will be good to make up for it in the next few games.

……

In the end, the score between the Lakers and the Pelicans was fixed at 121:109, and the Pelicans' bench chased the difference back to 12 points, which was not too ugly, but this actually didn't mean much, a loss is a loss, but anyone who watched the results of the whole game knew how powerless the Pelicans were in the face of the Lakers.

Bushy eyebrows brother Anthony. Davis scored a game-high score with 34 points, 14 rebounds and three assists on 12-of-20 shooting.

Wang Feng followed with 29 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, followed by Jimmy Butler's 21 points and Ingram's 18 points......

Zion, who was pinned on by the Pelicans. Williams was a disappointing performer, scoring just 19 points and six rebounds on 8-of-21 shooting.

In the first quarter of the game, Zion's performance was very good, scoring 12 points in a single quarter, almost fighting with Wang Feng, but immediately following the second and third quarters of the game, Zion, who was physically exhausted, was completely sluggish, and in the face of Wang Feng, he could no longer squeeze into the inner line, and could only float and shoot on the outside, but he himself did not have the ability to project at medium and long distances, and faced Wang Feng with a purple defensive deterrent badge, even Meng couldn't get in.

19+6 vs. 29+8+7, which is strong and which is weaker is clear at a glance.

Pelican fans can't say a word about Zion being Wang's nemesis, but there are still people with dead ducks.

"Hmph, what's the smugness? How many games has Zion played since he entered the league? It's already good to be able to play like Wang Feng in the first quarter of the game, give him more time, let him hone in the league for a few seasons, isn't it easy to beat Wang Feng? ”

For this kind of remarks, Wang Feng's answer is only, "Ah, yes, yes, what you said is right." ”

……

After the Feb. 25 game against the Pelicans, the Lakers travel to Oakland on Feb. 27 to take on the Golden State Warriors.

It was a much more intense game than going head-to-head with the Pelicans.

As old rivals and with a vengeance in the playoffs, neither side wants to lose this game.

The Warriors' Splash Brothers were on fire, Curry Thompson cut 30+, and Green was desperately entangled with Wang Feng.

One thing to say, in terms of pure strength, Wang Feng feels that Green is not much different from Zion, but the difference in weight tonnage makes his lower plate less stable than Zion.

Regardless of how far Green's offense has stretched this season, his martial arts on the defensive end have not fallen much, and it is indeed better than the forward defense of Wang Feng of many other teams in the league.

However, even Green could only limit Wang Feng slightly, because Wang Feng's current offensive ability was too strong.

The overall rating of 98 has definitely reached 99 in terms of offense alone, but the ability of defense and organization has lowered the overall rating of ability.

By the way, not long ago, the 15 points of the All-Star MVP were strengthened by Wang Feng in the ability to make fouls, and now his ability to make fouls has reached 89, and he is only 1 point away from reaching the extreme 90 points that the free allocation points can be strengthened.

This also makes Wang Feng more inexplicable on the offensive end, in the face of tough defense, he can even cheat fouls with fake falls and other actions, although the efficiency is not as high as JDZ porcelain king Harden, but at least it will make the opponent throw a mouse bogey when defending, and dare not make too many moves.

Getting back to the point, they worked together to cut down 60+ splash brothers, but in the end they couldn't help the Warriors win this game at home.

The Lakers are just too strong.

Wang Feng, accompanied by Green throughout the whole process, still handed over a standard answer sheet of 36 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists.

And Jimmy. Butler also played very well in this game, scoring 29 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists on 11-of-21 shooting.

Ingram scored 21 points on 7-of-14 shooting and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line.

The three of them combined for 86 points, on the Warriors' side, in addition to Curry and Thompson, there are only two players who scored double-doubles, namely Green with 11 points and Kevin with 14 points. Looney.

The results speak for themselves.

As the game progresses, Lakers fans are more and more fond of calling the combination of Wang Feng + Butler + Ingram the Big Three.

Although Ingram has never been selected as an All-Star in his career so far, he averages 20.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, and his 46% shooting percentage is enough to qualify for being called a giant.

The Lakers have also become the only team in the league to have three players averaging 20+ points per game, the other being the Brooklyn Nets.

It's just that the Nets have been a little rough lately.

The famous glass man Owen is still injured after half a season of calm.

Irving's injury came from his right shoulder, which is an old adult injury, and he has been playing with an injury this season and has been treated conservatively, but in the course of the game, his shoulder injury continued to worsen, and finally he couldn't stand it anymore and decided to have surgery.

It's just that Irving's surgery is equivalent to announcing the season reimbursement in advance, and the rest of the regular season and even the playoffs after this season will be absent.

Wang Feng estimated that the Nets must not be very happy with Irving's surgery at this time, after all, the Nets spent a lot of money to form a triumvirate combination, the purpose is to compete for the championship in this season, once Irving is missing, with the configuration of the two giants of Durant + George, even in the East, it does not have absolute dominance.

But who is Ou Shenxian? Who can control him? As long as the Nets can't tie Irving up, then no one can stop him from going to surgery.

With Irving's surgery and the official announcement of the Nets, the Nets' ranking in the championship odds list and power list plummeted, dropping directly from second only to the Lakers to outside the fifth.

The Clippers, Warriors, Bucks and even the Philadelphia 76ers are ranked above it.

……

The change in the Nets is also good news for the Lakers, who are aiming to defend the championship, and the biggest opponent of the Lakers this season is the Nets.

However, before that, the Lakers need to play well for the rest of the regular season and secure the top spot in the league.

In their final game at the end of February, the Lakers beat the Memphis Grizzlies 105-88 on the road.

Then the competition moved into March.

March was the toughest month of the Lakers' entire season, as they had so many tough opponents to face in the month.

On March 1, the Lakers host the New Orleans Pelicans.

This time Zion. Williams was instigated and didn't dare to confront Wang Feng again, but he didn't take the initiative to find Wang Feng, but Wang Feng refused to let him go.

On the defensive end, Wang Feng defended Zion on 7-of-18 shooting and scored only 19 points, and the Lakers also won the game 122-114.

Davis, the thick eyebrow, scored a game-high 41 points again, but he was completely powerless and could only be incompetent and furious.

But after the game against the Pelicans, the Lakers were followed by a series of tough opponents.

March 3, home game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

March 6, home game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

On March 8, he played away against the Los Angeles Clippers.

On March 10, he played away against the Brooklyn Nets.

All four teams have some of the best records in the league, and even Wang Feng's Lakers are struggling to cope.

In the end, they won 2-2 in four games, ending their winning streak, and one of the losses was to the Los Angeles Clippers, direct rivals in the West.

And that's just the appetizer for March.

After that, the Lakers also faced the Nuggets, Menglong, Jazz and other teams one after another.

The Lakers had a 10-6 record in 16 games throughout March, their worst month of the season.

But although it was tough, the Lakers still carried it.

On March 31, the Lakers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road to complete all of the games in March.

The regular season is just five games away from the official end of April.

The Lakers, who have played 77 games, have achieved 60 wins in a single season ahead of schedule, and currently have a record of 61 wins and 16 losses.

In the last 5 games, the Lakers did not relax at all, including the home game against the Clippers on April 5, which also won 122-117, ending the regular season with a wave of six consecutive wins, and the regular season win was also fixed at 66-16, the first in the league!

66 wins! Although it is only 2 wins compared to last season, after reaching more than 60 wins, it is quite difficult to win each game.

Including giants like the Lakers, the last time they won more than 66 was 67-15 at the peak of the 99-00 season.

In the 08-09 season, the Lakers led by Kobe Gasol only won 65 wins.

Of course, teams like the Warriors, whose lineups are particularly buggy in history, are a special case.

In the three seasons from the 14-15 season to the 16-17 season, the Warriors' worst record was also 67-15, the 15-16 season was 73-9, and Wang Feng's version of the Warriors scored 74 wins, which is completely informative.

Although the Lakers' current roster is very good, it is more than a notch behind the Warriors.

……

The Lakers can achieve a record of 66 wins, and Wang Feng is indispensable!

This season, Wang Feng's average points per game has dropped from last season, and his average points per game have dropped from 38.6 points last season to 35.2 points.

The decline in scoring does not mean that Wang Feng's scoring ability has weakened, on the contrary, Wang Feng's offensive ability has become more terrifying, and the shooting rate has increased instead of decreasing, reaching an astonishing 55%, which is not inferior to that of interior players.

And the most intuitive performance is in assists.

Strengthened the passing ability and passing IQ to 90, and with the blessing of the purple ten-cent badge, Wang Feng's assist rate has risen sharply this season, averaging 10.4 assists per game, plus 12.7 rebounds per game, officially achieving an average triple-double per game.

Although Westbrook has single-handedly averaged triple-doubles per game for three consecutive seasons in the past few seasons, the gold content of the triple-double data has plummeted.

But even so, none of the other players can achieve an average triple-double per game, Wang Feng is the first, and he is also the first in the league since the Oscars. Robertson and Russell. The third man after Westbrook!

Wang Feng was happy.

Average triple-double per game + scoring champion + first in the regular season, his third regular season MVP is likely to be stable.

At present, the only player in the league who has a chance to compete with Wang Feng for the regular season MVP is the 62-20 record in the regular season, averaging 29.7 points, 14 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, and shooting 55.3% from the field. Antetokounmpo.

That's right, Wang Feng's biggest opponent in the MVP selection this time is Brother Alphabet again.
