The Eagles are also facing the Lakers.

Although in the playoffs, the possibility of the two teams meeting is very small, but in the face of a rising star, the Eagles still have to show their strength first.

Millsap, Carroll, and even Korver are all defensive giants.

It is inevitable that the eagle's strikers will encircle and suppress Xu Feng.

At the press conference before the game, the head coach of the Eagles also made bold statements that Xu Feng would not be allowed to score more than 30 points, and the Eagles would win the game.

For NBA coaches, this kind of talk is also normal. After all, it is their home court, and morale is very important.

When the reporter told Xu Feng these words of the Eagles coach, Xu Feng smiled and said: "The Eagles are a tough team, but our Lakers will not be afraid of any opponent."

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Xu Feng, your playing time has fluctuated a lot recently. Is there something wrong?"

Xu Feng shrugged and said lightly: "This is a normal adjustment within our team. I just follow the arrangement. The Lakers have only one goal, and that is to enter the playoffs."

After the press conference, the whole team went to the Hawks home arena for final training.

Xu Feng felt uncomfortable in his ankle, so he told the team doctor about it.

The team doctor made a decisive decision. Xu Feng had to rest for a while and then go for a comprehensive examination.

After the head coach D'Antoni knew about it, he also said that he should let Xu Feng rest and not hurt his body for a regular season.

Although Xu Feng was unwilling, he still agreed.

When the Lakers officially announced Xu Feng's truce before the game, many fans were disappointed.

They came here just to see Xu Feng.

Xu Feng also specially sent a video to apologize to the fans who came from afar, and said that he would go to the scene to watch the game.

Moreover, they will also sign autographs and take group photos for the fans, and try their best to meet the requirements of the fans.

Xu Feng's video touched countless fans, he is really a high-quality idol!
Xu Feng did not become arrogant because of his sudden explosion, but became more humble and approachable.

Perhaps only those who have experienced underestimation can feel the value of something more.

At [-] o'clock the next night, the game between the Lakers and the Eagles began.

The Lakers started with Marshall, Nick Young, Gasol, Jordan Hill, and Wesley Johnson who replaced Xu Feng.

The Hawks' starters are Horford, Teague, Carroll, Millsap, and Korver.

The Hawks don't have a traditional big center, and Horford's size is a little shorter than Jordan Hill and Gasol.

But Horford's inside skills are very good and tough.

What fans talk about the most is his beautiful wife, which makes people envious.

Xu Feng was dressed in casual clothes, sitting on the Lakers bench, cheering for his teammates.

He came to the field early and signed autographs for some fans.

In the first quarter, although the Lakers players worked hard, they were still at a disadvantage on the scene and slowly fell behind.

The overall strength of the Eagles is in full bloom, Teague's breakthrough, Horford's tough layup inside, and Korver's three-pointer all make the Lakers hard to defend.

This Eagles team is indeed very strong overall, but it also has a shortcoming, that is, it lacks a superstar.

This made them suffer in the playoffs and did not go further.

Of course, this is something.

As far as the regular season is concerned, the Eagles are indeed more competitive, blooming more points, making opponents unable to defend.

Even if Xu Feng can play, it will be a tough battle, at least defensively, it will give the Lakers a headache.

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles led by 13 points, with a score of 42:29.

For the Lakers, only Gasol played well and scored 11 points. The others played piecemeal and it was difficult to score.

Xu Feng kept cheering his teammates on the sidelines. Even Johnson, who hated Xu Feng, would stand up and applaud vigorously every time he grabbed a rebound or scored.

This is the pattern, this is tolerance!

In the second quarter, the matchup between the two substitutes was relatively good. Under the leadership of Bazemore, the Lakers' substitutes fought fiercely against each other without widening the point difference.

However, with the main lineup on the field, the second quarter was still spent.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides came to 61:40.

Although the game is not over yet, there is little chance of a comeback in the second half.

Without Kobe and Xu Feng, this Lakers team is a deceptive team, there is no doubt about it.

During the intermission, Xu Feng came to the locker room to cheer up his teammates and pointed out some shortcomings.

Although his guidance is not very useful in this game, Xu Feng thinks very long-term, the regular season is long, and there are still many games in the future.

Some problems must be raised and resolved, otherwise it will become the team's weakness and will be chased in the playoffs.

This is Xu Feng's [playoff experience]. From now on, he will pave the way for the playoffs.

Basketball is a team sport, and it cannot be done by one person.

As strong as Jordan, it was only after many hardships and integration into the collective that he began to win the championship and get soft.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers suddenly improved in the first few minutes. Nick Young, Gasol, and Marshall felt hot.

The score was once narrowed, and the point difference came within 10 points.

But the Eagles called a timeout, and after adjustments, they still suppressed the Lakers' offensive.

The point difference gradually widened again, and at the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was 85:66.

There is no suspense in the fourth quarter. The Lakers have been behind by 15+. In the end, the game ended and the Eagles defeated the Lakers at home.

The Lakers' ten-game winning streak was interrupted again.

After the game, Horford of the Eagles took the initiative to walk to the Lakers' bench, hugged Xu Feng, and expressed his blessings to Xu Feng.

He hopes that Xu Feng can participate in the All-Star Game in a healthy state, and enter the playoffs with good results.

Xu Feng was also very grateful for Horford's blessings. The two of them didn't have much contact before, but it's very rare for him to speak so sincerely today.

The Lakers' next Eastern Conference opponent is the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks are now at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and also the bottom of the league, completely rotten.

So Xu Feng doesn't need to play. If the Lakers play well, they should be able to win the Bucks.

Xu Feng had undergone an examination before, and his ankle was fine, but it was a little sprained due to fatigue, and a week's rest is enough.

The game between the Lakers and the Bucks will be held at the Bucks' home court two days later.

The game was unexpected, intense and went into overtime.

In the end, relying on Nick Young's two three-pointers, the Lakers narrowly beat the Bucks 132:130.

Xu Feng is happy for his teammates, this is a good opportunity to train the team.

Without the core main force, defeating the underwhelming team is the best time to build self-confidence.
