Chapter 1726 Bombs One After Another
Los Angeles twin stars shine at Staples!
The moment when Ji Feng and Kobe lifted the All-Star MVP trophy together became the most exciting scene of this Los Angeles All-Star Game.
In the Staples Arena, the fans couldn't calm down for a long time. The wonderful start, the cooperation throughout the game, and the final toast together were all too dreamy. For the fans in Los Angeles, this is definitely history. The most perfect All-Star ever.
Tonight is destined to be crazy.
After winning the cup, in the interview, Ji Feng and Kobe shouted out the words they shouted at the championship parade for three consecutive years: "Believe me, this is just the beginning!"
Yes, for them, the All-Stars are more like side dishes during the long season. They eat them smoothly, but that's it. For them, what they care about is always the final meal.
"Yeah, it's just the beginning." Popovich ended his coaching duties with a smile and left the field, accompanied by his close friends Duncan and Manu. For them and the Spurs, the focus is after the All-Star Game. They need to consolidate their second position in the Western Conference in order to meet the Lakers again in the Western Conference Finals. They believe that in odd years, it will be their turn.
Dirk happily picked up Ji Feng's All-Star trophy and looked at it, and then said goodbye to Ji Feng. He will return to Dallas that night. For him, the All-Star Game is more like a trip, and MVP is not that important to him. The important thing is to just have fun. At his age, many things can be seen clearly.
But he knows in his heart that what remains unchanged is still the pursuit of the championship.
Curry, Harden, Westbrook, DeRozan and other future young talents said goodbye to Ji Feng in turn. These days, they are well taken care of by Ji Feng, the host. Basically, they have food and accommodation included. Luo Zan now feels that the best decision he has made in his life is to join Ji Feng's family. Here, he has indeed found many like-minded people, and Ji Feng is definitely a conscientious boss.
For these young people, this year's All-Stars are enough to leave the deepest impression on them. They have already shown their talents here. One day the future will belong to them, but for Ji Feng, who is still younger than them , but they have nothing but envy and admiration for the guy who has already taken control of the situation.
Next door in the East, the Big Three of the Heat left unwillingly. James once again watched eagerly as Ji Feng won the MVP trophy he dreamed of. It is said that he is already 26 years old, but he still misses the three MVPs. This is for him. The historical status has a huge impact.
"Don't worry about LeBron, they won't be the only ones this year." Wade naturally understands what LeBron is thinking.
"Well! Let's see you in the finals!" Turning around and hugging Wade, James embarked on the journey again. He knew that the story with the Lakers this season was not over yet, and everything had not been finalized yet.
For Ji Feng, he has an astonishing 7 MVPs, three All-Star MVPs, two regular season MVPs, and two Finals MVPs, making him once again a winner in people's mouths. His photos are still It was the headline of every media magazine, and it was the kind that could drive everyone to death.
In three and a half seasons of his career, he has achieved things that many players cannot do in their lifetime. Ji Feng is still the most popular. Nowadays, Ji Feng has become the new banner of the NBA. Almost everyone is saying that he is Contemporary Jordan, and at this pace, it is only a matter of time before Ji Feng's honor catches up with Jordan's.
But Ji Feng himself remains calm. His career is still very long, and the final decision has not yet been made. His eyes will only focus on what he can see.
For example, the next game!
I want to review it for the fans. Before the All-Star Game, Ji Feng had played 7 consecutive games with 40+ points, and 5 of them had 5 consecutive games with 50+ points. This is the second consecutive season that he has achieved this feat. In front of him, There is still only Chamberlain's legendary record of 7 consecutive games with 50+ points.
On February 22, Ji Feng and his teammates attended the first training session after the All-Star Game.
The All-Star Weekend also has another role in the eyes of the majority of fans.
That is life and death after the All-Star Game. The games after the All-Star Game will determine a team's final fate this season.
The Lakers have played 57 games and achieved an astonishing record of 54 wins and 3 losses, with the last 25 games left.
"It's time to continue! For the championship!" The training ground was filled with the roars of Ji Feng and his teammates.
…
On February 23, Staples, the Lakers ushered in their first game after the All-Star Game, where they will face the fifth-place Hawks in the Eastern Conference.
Although the Hawks are still unknown in the eyes of domestic fans, they have ranked among the top of the Eastern Conference for three consecutive seasons and have made it to the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, Horford and Bibby are the top five. The combination of the two and the bench lineup led by Jamal Crawford, the league's best sixth man, is very strong in the Eastern Conference.
In terms of offense, they rank sixth in the league, even better than the Mavericks and Nuggets in the West.
However, their biggest problem, and the Lakers' favorite problem, is their lack of defense!
You can't blame them. None of the names above can be associated with defense. What they are best at is always offense. As for defense, is there such a thing in basketball?
But on the court, offense and defense are indispensable. A team without defense is destined to have no championship. This has been an iron rule for so many years. When encountering a team like the Lakers, not being able to defend is their biggest original sin!
The game had just begun, and the Hawks could still rely on the singles of Joe Johnson and Josh Smith to match the Lakers. The two sides tied at 27 in the first quarter.
But in the second quarter, the bench led by Ji Feng met the bench led by Ke Liu. Ke Liu understood that sometimes offense is really not enough to solve the problem.
Let’s take a look at the Lakers’ second lineup. Ji Feng is at the first position, Farmar, and Artest are at the second and third positions. Inside is Powell, a defensive hero. This lineup is enough to lock down most teams in the league. Second team.
As for the offense, look at Ji Feng's constant singles output and Ke Liu's collapsed eyes and you will understand that one person is enough!
Terrible scoring ability!
Ji Feng made 7 of 8 shots in the first 3 and a half minutes of the second quarter, including 4 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and 3 steals. Ji Feng scored all the Lakers' points by himself, scoring 22 points in a row. , led the Lakers to launch a 22-7 attack wave to open the score in one fell swoop.
When the main force of the Eagles returned, they discovered with confusion how the game was ruined...
At halftime, the Lakers took a 20-point lead at 65-45. Ji Feng scored 36 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals at halftime, continuing his magical performance.
In the third quarter, the Hawks' final counterattack was extinguished by Ji Feng's eight consecutive points. After Ji Feng made a mid-range shot in the last 24 seconds of the third quarter, the Lakers were already leading by as much as 30 points.
And this goal was Ji Feng's 51st point tonight!
With 51 points in the third quarter, Ji Feng scored 50 points in 6 consecutive games, continuing his legendary record!
