Chapter 499. 500. Kill the Philadelphians

At the end of the first half, Lin Feng faced Embiid again. This was the fourth head-to-head confrontation between the two.

Lin Feng was victorious in the previous rounds, and he also got two fouls from him.

In the mid-range singles on the left, everyone pulled away to the other side, leaving only the two of them here.

At that moment, Lin Feng turned into Carmelo Anthony and raised the basketball over his head to make a tentative step. Embiid kept half a step, looking very nervous.

The haughty Cameroonian lost consecutively to a 19-year-old boy, his face was dull, and he was dunked solidly once, which made him lose face, because the next ball must be defended!
In the blink of an eye, the two made eye contact, and Lin Feng raised his hand to make a false throw.Embiid leaned forward and almost fell for it.

In an instant, Lin Feng slid to the bottom line on the left side and squeezed hard towards the basket!

Embiid moved in parallel with big strides, Lin Feng made a beautiful turn to the right, and at the same time opened up a shooting distance.

Once again worshiping Buddha for a fake shot, this time Embiid was fooled by the block in a hurry, and Lin Feng seized the opportunity to enter the basket and gliding dunk with one hand!

Wilson Chandler, who stepped forward to help defend, could not stop him, so he had no choice but to stand under the basket and watch Lin Feng dunk the ball.

The Staples Center was boiling again, and his offense was like a raging fire, igniting the inner cold of the Los Angeles people.

Embiid, who was passed again, was quite frustrated. Usually, he was the only one who abused others. He didn't expect to be deflated tonight under the watchful eyes of [-] Staples fans.

Lin Feng, who played Embiid again, accepted the cheers like a king, and was replaced by Wharton after the ball.

Playing almost the entire second quarter, Lin Feng performed well, scoring 14 points in a single quarter, leading the team to continue to expand its advantage.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led 65-51 by 14 points.

When returning to the locker room, Embiid, who was furious, clashed with the Lakers fans on both sides of the player channel, and was dragged back to the locker room by his teammates amidst the boos of the fans.

"Great job Gary, I love seeing Joel Embiid pissed off."

In the locker room, Howard looked relaxed. He joined hands with Big McGee to form a no-fly zone, preventing opponents from doing anything reckless under the basket.

Lin Feng smiled and walked over to give him a high five, "It couldn't be easier, I didn't even put in much effort."

Lao Zhan affirmed him, and the atmosphere in their locker room was as relaxed as ever.

On the other hand, with the 76ers, Embiid took a chair in the locker room to vent his anger, kept spraying trash, and received a massage from the team doctor cursing.

The big screen at the scene played back the wonderful shots of the first half over and over again, among which Lin Feng dunked Embiid and the spark cap Embiid was the most eye-catching, leading the audience into carnival over and over again.

LeBron played the role of a mentor. He deliberately reduced his personal offense and threaded needles in the team to send wonderful passes to his teammates.

With two pass masters on a team, the rest of the Lakers have a lot of open opportunities.

As Caldwell Pope said to reporters, I have played for more than ten years, and I have never gotten so many open shots like this year.

At halftime, Walton and the 76ers coach were interviewed by Anne Garcia.

"Mr. Walton, the substitute players in your team are more energetic than the starters. Will this affect your future lineup adjustments?"

The reason why Annie asked this was because she always believed that with Lin Feng's strength, he should have a place in the Lakers' starting lineup.

Regarding the performance in the first half, Walton said with a smile, "The bench players are better than the starters, it is true. Many of our bench players have starting strength, such as Gary Smith, Dwight Howard, Lan Stephenson and Kyle Kuzma."

Walton paused and continued: "I believe they will undoubtedly be the starters in other teams. This is our team lineup. I believe the team can go further in the playoffs."

"Thanks to Coach Walton for his wonderful answer. I am also waiting for the Lakers to hit the championship!"

Annie is very happy. She and Lin Feng have become good friends and appreciate each other.

76ers coach Brett Brown regretted Embiid's out-of-control behavior at the end of the second quarter, but he also fully defended his players in front of the camera, and praised them by taking the responsibility on himself.

In the Tencent Sports live broadcast room, today's guest commentators are the golden pair of Wang Meng and Yang Yi.

"The Lakers performed well in the first half. From trailing by 11 points to tying and then leading by 14 points, they played the technical characteristics of their own team. What does Teacher Yang think of the game in the first half?"

Wang Meng's up-and-down commentary style is deeply loved by the public.

Yang Yi adjusted his glasses frame, "The game was ups and downs in the first half, and it was very exciting. The Lakers got off to a slow start, which is a common problem with them, but the substitute lineup at the end of the first quarter solved this problem very well. .”

"The Lakers' bench signings are so worth it. They don't even need time to find a feeling, and they can work right away on the court."

Wang Meng took the words, "That's true. The team fell behind by seven or eight points before the substitutes came on the bench. As a result, Gary Smith and his gang came up and beat Jimmy Butler and Ben Simmons out. The point difference was chased back in an instant.”

Yang Yi laughed, "Los Angeles bench gangsters are well-deserved. It's interesting that the two Los Angeles teams have strong bench lineups, which are stronger than the Lakers. Gary Smith is the soul of the second team, plus Finson, Bees Old players like Leigh and Howard, as well as freshmen like Hart Kutz, Markaluso and Zubac."

"Audience friends, don't look at Caruso's baldness, but he is actually very young."

Wang Meng's joke made them laugh out loud.

"That's right, Teacher Wang Meng, he's also very young!" Yang Yi spread his right hand, pointing directly at Wang Meng's shiny head.

Wang Meng raised his voice, "Let's get down to business, let Teacher Yang analyze how far the Los Angeles Lakers, who have undergone a big change this season, can go after the playoffs."

Yang Yi squeezed his chin and thought for a while, "The playoffs are the stage for the superstars. James determines the lower limit of the team, and Gary Smith determines the upper limit of the team. How far the Lakers can go in the playoffs depends on the relationship between these two. How are you doing?"

"The biggest problem now is that Gary Smith is in his rookie season. His ability is obvious to all, but he has not been tested in the playoffs. That kind of high-intensity and high-targeted games will make many rookies overwhelmed."

"Yes, whether the playoffs will make Gary Smith, who seems omnipotent now, hit the rookie wall, we will wait and see in three months."

"Leave the rest of the time to Jiayi."

"Okay Mengge~~~ I'm going to go to the pause session, let's watch the first video first~~~"

"Yo, it's a Gary Smith fan."

In the video, the big boy wearing No. 11 flies and dunks, just like Lin Feng usually does.

What is unbelievable is that the nickname of this big boy is: Lin Feng.
