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

The Lakers' next regular season opponent is the Kings in the West.

The Kings have not made the playoffs in these years. They belong to the bad team for thousands of years, and they have a fight with the Timberwolves.

The glory of the Kings last time was still the players of Webber and Davis.

Now the star of the Kings is center Cousins.

Cousins' physical condition is top-notch, and his skills at the basket are also very delicate, but there is one thing, his temper is too explosive and he often cannot control it.

His number of technical fouls is also among the best in the league.

The most classic scene is that he smashed the ball hard at Paul, which is talked about by the fans.

Eight o'clock in the evening, ARCO Arena in Sacramento.

The Lakers challenged the Kings away.

The Lakers started Xu Feng, Marshall, Nick Young, Gasol, Jordan Hill.

The Kings starting five: Gay, Cousins, McClemore, Evans, Williams.

The referee whistled, the ball jumped in the middle circle, and Cousins ​​got the first wave of possession.

When preparing for the game, Xu Feng carefully watched the video footage of the last few games of the Kings, and had a detailed understanding of Cousins' technical characteristics.

For such a super center team, the Lakers are always underwhelmed, and Xu Feng is also average.

Especially the last time the Grizzlies met, they abused the Lakers inside.

This can't be helped, it's the flaw of the Lakers. Gasol is too old, and Jordan Hill's talent and skills are average.

No matter how strong Xu Feng is, he is only a small forward.

Even Jordan back then needed Pippen's assistance, so it was really difficult for Xu Feng.

Evans dribbled the ball past half court, and Marshall stepped forward to defend.

The Kings have two offensive strengths, one is Cousins ​​on the inside, and the other is Evans on the outside.

There is also Gay, who also has a certain offensive ability.

So Evans passed the ball to Cousins ​​without hesitation.

Cousins ​​should not be too relaxed when facing Jordan Hill.

boom!
Cousins ​​opened up a little space, made a small throw, and scored two points.

Although Xu Feng had already predicted it, when he wanted to make up the defense, Cousins ​​had already made a move.

Absolute height, coupled with soft touch, makes opponents hard to guard against.

The Lakers attacked and Marshall passed the ball to Xu Feng.

If you want to confront the Kings, you need to fully bloom from the outside.

So after Xu Feng got the ball, he pretended to break through and passed the ball to Nick Young who was open.

Nick Young made a three-pointer, go in!
[-]:[-]!
Nick Young has never been a slow pitcher, and he usually comes up and goes in.

Although the Kings have Cousins, the Lakers still have a chance to win because the Kings are different from the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies have two black and white bears and two centers.

And the black and white bears are both very strong defensively.

Although Cousins ​​is top-notch offensively, his defense has always been criticized.

Coupled with Cousins' fiery temper, the Kings' results are always unsatisfactory.

So Xu Feng's strategy is to play against the Kings, bite the score, and then launch a strong attack in the fourth quarter to win the game in one fell swoop!
The game proceeded according to Xu Feng's prediction. At the end of the first quarter, the score was [-]:[-], with the Lakers trailing by [-] point.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers' substitute played well and took a slight advantage. Later, after replacing the main force, the two sides were evenly matched.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led by [-] points, [-]:[-].

Xu Feng scored [-] points in the first half, grabbed [-] rebounds and sent [-] assists.

He did not try his best to score points, but took on the important task of connecting the teams.

Since Xu Feng's golf quotient and overall situation have been greatly improved, his understanding of the game is too thorough.

He can always find the opponent's weaknesses, as well as the Lakers' strengths.

During the intermission, Xu Feng kept encouraging his teammates. He knew that the Kings were not easy to play.

Only by maintaining the continuity of the whole can it be possible to achieve the final victory.

Xu Feng's goal this season is to lead the Lakers into the playoffs.

And these teammates, to be honest, are all inferior players in the league.

To make the playoffs, the only possibility is that the team has good chemistry.

With Xu Feng's encouragement, the morale of the Lakers players was high.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers took the lead and played a wave. Marshall, Nick Young and Xu Feng all felt hot.

As a big center, Cousins ​​will have physical problems if he takes on most of the offense.

At [-] minutes and [-] seconds into the third quarter, the score of the two teams was [-]:[-], and the Lakers led by [-] points.

The Kings called a timeout, let Cousins ​​rest for a while, and let Evans play the main game.

Evans is still very strong. After he and Gay dominated the offense, the Kings' offense became much smoother.

The point difference gradually narrowed, Marshall and Nick Young's defensive ability was really bad, and they couldn't withstand Evans' violent attack.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, the point difference was further narrowed to [-] points, and both sides replaced the main force.

Xu Feng knew that when Cousins ​​came up, he would definitely focus on the inside.

So he asked the Lakers players to step up the contraction, and the outside line allowed Marshall to just stick to Evans.

The strategy worked wonders, as Gasol and Jordan Hill double-teamed Cousins ​​despite his strong offense.

Cousins ​​was very tough. After being double-teamed, he didn't pass the ball, but went hard.

Although it also scored two and caused Jordan Hill to foul, the Kings' offense was not so smooth and stagnated.

The Lakers took the opportunity to start playing fast. Nick Yang scored two three-pointers in a row, and the point difference widened again.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Kings away [-]:[-].

In this game, Xu Feng scored [-] points and sent [-] assists.

After the Lakers won the game, the Western Conference ranked tenth.

Five games away from the eighth-placed Dallas Mavericks.

To enter the playoffs, the difficulty is not small.

But the season is long, as long as he plays reasonable basketball, coupled with the blessing of Xu Feng's system, Xu Feng believes that he will definitely be able to enter the playoffs!
Although Xu Feng was full of ambition, there was a phenomenon that made him feel very pessimistic.

That is, his whistle is getting less and less.

Xu Feng knew exactly what was going on.

If he offended Naik, the league will definitely suppress him, and the whistle is the best way.

Xu Feng remembers very clearly that before Naike's project manager Tony negotiated with him, he could make five or six free throws per game.

After the negotiation, his free throws gradually decreased. In the past few games, Xu Feng only had one or two free throws.

In this game against the Kings, he didn't even make a free throw.

Although Xu Feng was furious, he could only accept his fate. This was the inevitable consequence of not choosing Naike.

If you want to play well, you must play better in the future in order to win in an unfair environment.
