Then Ji Feng continued to devote himself to training.
On January 5th, the Lakers ushered in the second game of the new year, at home against the Jazz, a veteran western team, which is also a match between the first in the West and the seventh in the West.
The Jazz's lineup this season is still the same as it was in previous seasons, and the tactics are still the same set of pick-and-roll tactics, but the effect is not good. In a competitive place like the West, if you don't improve, it means regress. Besides, after so many years, Jazz has long been thoroughly studied, not to mention that the main players of Jazz, including Kirilenko, are one year older.
In this game, the Jazz fans and the Utah media had the idea of winning, but it was broken by the Lakers in the first quarter.
The starting lineup of Jazz's Deron, Boozer, Okur, Kirilenko and Brewer was suppressed by the Lakers as soon as they came up.
Deron shot for 4 consecutive shots. He was not afraid of Fisher, but he felt too cold, and Boozer was also caught in the defensive quagmire constructed by Gasol and couldn't extricate himself. After the senior year, Boozer Err is slow moving, and the disadvantage of his height and wingspan is infinitely magnified, and he basically cannot win a one-on-one confrontation with Gasol.
But having said that, this season, Gasol has reached the best state of his career. In addition to his ability to attack and respond, he is still very strong, or even stronger. Gasol has also performed well in the defense that has been criticized the most in the past. 11.4 rebounds and 2 blocks is proof that Gasol is definitely a top-three power forward this season.
Deron strikes Boozer being abolished, and the Jazz have injured his left and right hands. He can only rely on the scores of Okur and Brewer to continue his life. Do you mean Kirilenko?
He was restricted even more by Ji Feng. His state of decline this season was like bungee jumping. In this game, Ji Feng was watching the ball twice, and he couldn't push it at all. He was not a strong offensive player. It's even worse after the state declines, but fortunately, no one expected him to burst into energy before this game.
In a single quarter of 37-20, the Lakers played absolute dominance, and the smooth flow of the offense made all commentators full of praise.
The first quarter of the game basically set the tone for the whole game. The Lakers began to rotate calmly. Ji Feng and Kobe basically only played for half a quarter and rested for half a quarter. In the second and third quarters, the Jazz tried to fight back, but even the rotation The Lakers in China can also play 55 with the Jazz.
The final score was fixed at 113-100. The Lakers defeated the Jazz by 13 points and won 5 consecutive victories, and the record became 31 wins and 2 losses!
Kobe Bryant played the best game in this game. In 35 minutes, he made 13 of 23 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 12 of 14 free throws, scored 40 points, and also had 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
And Ji Feng played 33 minutes and scored 24 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, Gasol 16 points and 12 rebounds, Bynum 15 points and 10 rebounds, Fisher 10 points.
For the Jazz, Deron made only 4 of 18 shots, scored only 10 points from 14 irons, and Boozer scored only 12 points. The best player was Okur, who scored 21 points. Kirilenko finally took advantage of the situation. With Ji Feng not scoring 10 points and barely scoring in double figures, the substitute Millsap played well, scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds, which was a pleasant surprise.
