The Blazers have been like this for the past few years. If you say he is strong, the playoffs are basically a round trip.

Even if they beat the Rockets last time, it was only because of Lillard's lore that they narrowly won.

You say he is not strong, but he can still make the playoffs every year.

So for the Lakers, the Blazers can win with just a little bit of intensity.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers did not give the Blazers another chance. Xu Feng and Kobe led the main players to play a wave.

Although Lillard also stepped up his offense, his breakthrough was blocked by Xu Feng, and his long-range shots were unstable, so the Blazers' offense stagnated.

After the third quarter, the score came to 85:64, the Lakers led by a big score, and the game was over.

The Trail Blazers coach lost confidence, Xu Feng's dominance was too strong, he switched between the offensive and defensive ends at will, and completely grasped the rhythm of the game.

This is not like a player who has only played for more than two years, but more like a superstar for more than ten years.

Throughout the fourth quarter, the Blazers did not replace the main players, and played the rest of the time directly with the substitutes.

Xu Feng scored 23 points, grabbed 32 rebounds and sent 11 assists in just 12 minutes of playing today.

It can be said that Xu Feng showed his strength in the first game after the All-Star Game.

The fans were also shocked by Xu Feng's performance in this game.

They even gave Xu Feng a name - All Star Xu!
In the next seven games, the Lakers achieved seven consecutive victories, plus the Trail Blazers and the Cavaliers before the All-Star Game, that is nine consecutive victories.

The Lakers' ranking has also risen rapidly from fourth in the Western Conference to second in the Western Conference, half a game more than the Spurs, and only 2 games behind the Warriors.

And next week's game will be the Warriors at home against the Lakers.

Perhaps this game will become the most critical battle between the Lakers and the Warriors for the top spot.

There is still more than a week of competition, and it has already aroused heated discussions among fans.

Some people say that Xu Feng has recovered his form after the All-Star Game, and the MVP list has returned to second place, so Xu Feng will definitely lead the Lakers to defeat the Warriors.

But some people say that the Warriors have evolved again. Curry and Thompson's offense is like mercury, and Green and Bogut's defense is impeccable!

Such a Warriors team is difficult to beat.

And the Warriors have won nine consecutive victories.

There was a huge debate about which team was the better Lakers or Warriors.

Smith, the most famous basketball critic in the United States, said: "I think the Lakers are the stronger one. There is only one reason, and that is Xu Feng, who is dominant on both ends of the offense and defense. He can not only limit James, but also Limiting Curry, such a superstar has not been encountered for many years."

"The last player like this, I remember only Duncan, and then Jordan, I haven't found such dominance in other players!"

Barkley of TN-T is optimistic about the Warriors, and his reason is even more obvious, that is Curry!
He believes that Curry is an anti-traditional star.

Before, no one thought that shooting can win the championship, so Nowitzki has always been known as a soft big man who can only shoot.

And in 11, Nowitzki led the Mavericks to beat the defending champion Lakers, and beat the mighty Big Three of the Heat.

Since then, no one dared to say that shooting can't win the championship.

And Curry's shooting is obviously more threatening than Nowitzki, not to mention his good brother Thompson, the defensive backbone Green, and the entire Warriors are well-equipped and balanced.

So Barkley believes that the Warriors will win the championship this year and then establish a dynasty!
The views of the two are very clear, and there are many people who support them, which became the hottest topic in the basketball forum for a while.

Seeing these discussions, Xu Feng also muttered in his heart, the Warriors have performed really well in these games, but the Lakers are more dependent on themselves, and there are still many shortcomings on the whole.

For example, Kobe's physical strength is very problematic.

In addition, McGee on the inside, although talented, has a slightly low ball quotient, and often does not have enough cooperation with the card position and teammates when defending.

This is also the key point restricting the Lakers.

Xu Feng helps defend everywhere, but he is helpless. If he doesn't help, many loopholes will appear.

However, the Warriors are not invulnerable. Curry's static talents such as height determine that he is prone to misalignment when facing desperate defenses.

Of course, Curry is also improving. Last season Xu Feng was able to defend Curry alone, but this season may not be the case.

……

Before the Lakers and Warriors started the battle of the century, another explosive news came out.

Because Xu Feng trash-talked James Jones in the game against the Cavaliers, Jones even publicly challenged Xu Feng on social media!
Jones said on Twitter: "I'm a player, but also a part-time boxer. I hope Xu Feng will not be cowardly, and I will have a man's contest with me in the octagon!"

Generally, among NBA players, there are contradictions, and few have risen to this level.

Everyone is here to play ball to make money, there is no need to fight to the death.

And Jones actually challenged Xu Feng openly, obviously, he was standing up for James.

If Xu Feng does not accept the move, then James fans can use this incident as a talking point to attack Xu Feng, not a man.

But if Xu Feng accepts the move, then everyone knows that James Jones is a semi-professional boxer who can also fight in mixed martial arts. Xu Feng will definitely not be able to beat him.

If Xu Feng is beaten violently, then Xu Feng's reputation will still decline. If he is injured, it will be even worse. Maybe his basketball career will be affected.

Therefore, as soon as Jones posted this tweet, it immediately caused an uproar, and people from all walks of life were discussing this matter.

Of course Xu Feng saw it too, he frowned and cursed a few words.

He is considering whether to accept the offer.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Xu Feng saw that it was Yin Suwan calling.

He guessed that Yin Suwan must have seen the explosive news, so he came to comfort him.

"Feng, don't pay attention to him, he is a lunatic." Yin Suwan was afraid that Xu Feng would suffer, so she came to persuade Xu Feng.

Xu Feng smiled: "It's okay, I will take care of it, don't worry."

Yin Suwan said worriedly: "I asked. That guy is a boxer and has also fought in MMA. You haven't learned it. How can you be his opponent? You must hold back and ignore him!"

"Okay, I know."

Xu Feng was thinking about it when the phone rang again. He thought it was Yin Suwan's again, but when he picked up the phone, it turned out to be Lin Long's.

Although Lin Long did not appear in front of Xu Feng, he knew Xu Feng's every move like the palm of his hand, and he was always protecting Xu Feng's safety.

"Boss, I saw that Jones is challenging you, do you need me to abolish him?"
