NBA: Bind the ability of Sakuragi Flower Road at the beginning

In the last game, when the Lakers beat the Suns, Xu Feng played 37 minutes and tried his best, so his physical strength was exhausted.

D'Antoni is now very dependent on Xu Feng. He knows in his heart that Xu Feng can no longer suppress him. Neither the club executives nor the fans will allow him to suppress Xu Feng any longer.

So if you want to keep the coaching position, you must improve the Lakers record, at least enter the second round of the playoffs.

And if the Lakers want to improve their record, he has to lick Xu Feng well.

"Xu Feng, you played for so long last game, you should rest this time." D'Antoni came over and persuaded with a smile.

Xu Feng shook his head: "It's okay, I can end after two quarters, giving my teammates an advantage."

The Wizards are not a big team. If Xu Feng doesn't play for 1 minute, the Lakers will definitely lose.

Now the Lakers' qualification for the playoffs is not secure, Xu Feng has to work harder.

"Well, you have to pay attention, don't get hurt!" D'Antoni said the biggest worry in his heart.

Now that Xu Feng has the help of the system, the possibility of being maliciously fouled is zero, but after physical fatigue, unforced injuries will occur.

This is the most deadly, Xu Feng also understands in his heart.

Two days later, the Lakers played against the visiting Washington Wizards at Staples Center.

This is the second contest between the two teams and the last meeting between the two teams this season.

Therefore, the Wizards are also imposing. At the press conference before the game, they released bold words that they must defeat the Lakers at home.

It's no wonder that the Wizards are so high-spirited. As the champion, Wall has been holding his breath, and Bill, as a super scorer, has never been afraid of anyone in terms of scoring.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game between the Lakers and the Wizards officially began.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is Xu Feng, Marshall, Nick Young, Gasol and Jordan Hill.

Wizards' starting five: Bill, Wall, Ariza, Gortat, Nene.

Because Xu Feng went on a killing spree in the last game, the Wizards double-teamed Xu Feng crazily from the beginning, defending around the front and preventing him from receiving the ball.

Xu Feng didn't have any deep hatred with the Wizards, so he fought peacefully and didn't get on top.

Since you double-team me, I will cultivate the touch of my teammates and let them play more.

The other players of the Lakers team were very strong today. Of course, this is also related to the home game. The players can always perform exceptionally amidst the cheers of the audience.

Nick Young first hit a corner three-pointer, and then Gasol used his flexible feet and soft touch to hit Gortat and Nene each at the basket.

Jordan Hill's high mid-range shot is also good, three for two.

In the situation where teammates are fully blooming, the Lakers have been leading the score.

However, Bill and Wall came prepared today and played very well. The Wizards clung to the score without any signs of collapse.

At 9 minutes and 41 seconds into the battle between the two teams, the Lakers called a timeout and replaced the main players.

Xu Feng didn't play much in the first quarter, so he wasn't tired, but he still came down to rest.

The Wizards' bench lineup is average, and the Lakers' bench should be able to fight.

Sure enough, after replacing the substitute, under the leadership of Bazemore, the Lakers won a small victory over their opponents, and the score was pulled back a bit.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams scored 36:31, with the Lakers leading by 5 points.

The Wizards didn't want to be slowly taken away by the Lakers, so at the beginning of the second quarter, the Wizards replaced Wall in advance.

Hope to regain the advantage on the bench.

This change has had an effect, the Lakers can't stand the bench anymore, and no one can match Wall.

As the No. [-] pick, Wall's speed and physical fitness like a small tank are indeed top in the league.

The point difference was quickly narrowed, and then with Wall's three-pointer, the Wizards even overtook the score.

D'Antoni couldn't sit still, he looked at Xu Feng.

But Xu Feng was not in a hurry, he still had a towel on his head, drinking his drink slowly.

No matter how fierce Wall is, his physical strength is limited. If he played too much in the first half, he will show fatigue in the second half.

So Xu Feng still didn't play until more than 6 minutes into the second quarter. At this time, the Lakers were already 7 points behind.

After Xu Feng came on the field, he saw immediate results. He first assisted Marshall to score a three-pointer.

Then he cut off another layup by Gortat and made a long pass to Nick Young for a layup.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Feng made another three-pointer at the top of the arc.

In the blink of an eye, the Lakers evened the point difference.

The Wizards had no choice but to replace Wall again, but under the leadership of Xu Feng, the Lakers played with ease.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led by 8 points and entered the second half.

After the start of the second half, as Xu Feng expected, Wall's physical strength began to decline, and the Wizards' offense was affected.

The Lakers went all out and hit a 17:3 climax in the third quarter, establishing the victory in one fell swoop.

After the third quarter, the score between the two sides was 83:61, and the Lakers led by 22 points.

Xu Feng only played more than 6 minutes in the third quarter, and his efficiency was extremely high.

To Xu Feng's relief, the tacit understanding of the Lakers' bench has been strengthened a lot, at least they can play back and forth with most NBA teams.

In the end, the whole game ended, and the Lakers' bench lineup withstood the Wizards' final counterattack in the fourth quarter and won 116:109.

After the game, Wall was really convinced by Xu Feng, he took the initiative to hug Xu Feng, and said in his ear: "You have made great progress, you have a strong ability to control the game, really Unlike a rookie, your future looks bright."

Xu Feng said humbly: "You have won the award, and you are also very good. I hope you can go further in the playoffs!"

Bill also came over and hugged Xu Feng to congratulate him.

As the playoffs get closer and closer, the teams in the league are all in the sprint stage, and the intensity of the game is also increasing.

Except for the last few teams that continued to fight for the top spot, they are all working hard for the playoffs.

The Lakers are no exception. Currently, the Lakers rank seventh in the Western Conference, one game more than the No.8 Mavericks and two and a half games less than the No.7 Grizzlies.

In the remaining more than 20 games, the Lakers must at least rush to the top six before they can go further.

Because the top two Spurs and Thunder in the West are strong.

Although under Xu Feng's outburst, the Lakers won the Spurs and Thunder, but in the playoffs, the Lakers had no chance of winning against these two teams in the best-of-seven games.

There is still a gap in overall strength.

……

The Lakers' next regular season game is still at home, and they will face the visiting Portland Trail Blazers.

The Blazers are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference, with four more wins than the Lakers. They are potential opponents for the Lakers to move forward, so the Lakers must strive to win.

Just after Xu Feng finished a day of intense training, he met Donna again at the entrance of the arena.
