Chapter 649. 649. The Final Los Angeles Battle

On the 7th, four games involving the east and west qualifying started at the same time.

At the Staples Center in Los Angeles, in the focus game, the Lakers faced their city rivals the Clippers. The team led by Lu Wei will definitely fight for a playoff spot, and the Lakers will also do their best to keep the top three.

Scotiabank Arena, Wade led the Miami Legion expedition to Toronto, fighting for their last hope.The good news is that the Raptors rested Leonard on the grounds of calf muscle soreness, which gave the Miamis a chance, but Lowry and Siakam are not waiting for it.

At Houston's Toyota Center, the Rockets host the desperate Knicks, a team from New York already pretty convinced they'll get the next LeBron, Zion Williamson.This is almost a game that knows the result without watching, so for the Lakers, they must win the Clippers, otherwise they will fall to fourth in the West.

At the Target Center in Minneapolis, the cold Minnesota ushered in the menacing Westbrook, and the Thunder also fought for the final ranking.No team wants to drop to eighth and beat the Golden State Warriors in the first round.Both teams are playing with all their strength, and the Timberwolves double-champion combination who missed the playoffs seems unwilling to give up simply. They want to fight for honor and become the spoilers of the Western Conference playoffs.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, the four games started at the same time.When the league arranged games at the beginning of the season, it seemed that it expected today a year later, which is very interesting.

Lin Feng was doing the final warm-up with his teammates on the court. He had a brief exchange with Lu Wei before, and they all encouraged each other and then met to play a high-quality game.

The atmosphere at Staples tonight was unprecedentedly warm. Not only the Lakers, but also the Clippers gathered a large number of fans in blue and white.

Ursula deliberately spared time to come to the scene, Frank and his wife also attended, and all the big-name Lakers fans were present, which added a lot of pressure to the players on the field.

This game is related to the situation of the playoffs. Although facing the media, the Lakers said from top to bottom that they don't care who the opponent is and will try their best to play every game.

But in private, some topics about opponents will still be discussed. Jazz and Thunder are their potential first-round opponents.Kuzma is willing to play the Jazz, because in the two matches that have ended this season, Kuzma has performed brilliantly, and the goal of playing Gobert with his crotch will still be talked about by fans.

Lin Feng hopes to play against the Thunder. In addition to revenge, he believes that the current Lakers lineup still has an advantage against the Oklahoma team, even though they lost badly in the last confrontation between the two teams.

But he believes that entering the playoffs, under the leadership of Lao Zhan, the whole team will show a different mental outlook.Lin Feng will play in the playoffs in his rookie season. Except for several veterans such as LeBron, McGee, Rondo, and Finsen, the young people without exception are touching the threshold of the playoffs for the first time. The team is a test.

Because of lack of experience, the Lakers' trip to the playoffs is not favored by some neutral fans.Even Lin Feng, who averaged 27.8 points per game in the regular season, is expected to lose himself in the playoffs when the defensive intensity has increased several levels.

There have always been voices who are not optimistic about him. For example, Paul Pierce, the Celtics star, believes that Lin Feng is just a lucky guy who got shelter in a strong team, and he will show his circle in the real game.

In addition to Pierce, active players chasing dreams of Green must be the number one "Lin Hei". The peak matchup between the Lakers and the Warriors often produces a lot of topics, including Green's talk.

On the night of the game on the 7th, Green, who had no game, uttered nonsense on his Twitter, shouting at Lin Feng, telling him welcome to the playoffs, this is a brand new game!

Before the start, when the reporter interviewed Lin Feng, he asked about Green's words. His answer was very concise. Since they are all competitions, there should be no difference.

In the brightly lit Staples Center, the noise gradually quieted down, entering the first session of tonight, where Lin Feng was awarded the best rookie trophy of last month.

This is the last monthly rookie selection this season. In this selection, Lin Feng and Doncic won all five Western Conference games, of which he won three times and Doncic won twice.

In the Eastern Conference, the best rookie of the month has almost become the exclusive award of Trey Young, but it was given to Kevin Knox once in December.

The selection of the best rookie of the year will be decided next month. Currently, Lin Feng is the most popular.The average of 27.8 points per game also broke the rookie scoring record in the past 30 years.

From 1990 to the present, the rookie season scoring average record is held by Allen Iverson with 23.5 points, and the second place is Shaq O'Neal's 23.4 points, which means that Lin Feng will directly pull this record As much as 4 points higher.

Of course, compared with those ancient monsters, Lin Feng's data is still very immature. "Marshal" Chamberlain averaged 37.6 points per game in his rookie season. Bellamy and Oscar Robertson are all terrifying existences who can score [-] points in their debut year.

Lin Feng's data can be ranked 7th in the entire NBA history. Leah Spencer Haywood, Lakers star Elgin Baylor and others are all behind him.It is worth mentioning that the sixth place in front of him is none other than the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan.

This is already a very remarkable thing. Tonight at the Staples Center, the team owner Jenny Buss personally presented him with the trophy and gave Lin Feng a big hug.

"He proved himself in one season. He is really a miracle. From the [-]th pick to today, God, I still can't believe it!"

Jenny is very excited. She is still in disbelief. She can't believe that Lin Feng "bought" it with 60 US dollars.

"Actually, I am very grateful that Los Angeles gave me the opportunity to play. If Cuban had the [-]th pick last year, he would most likely choose Kostas Antetokounmpo instead of me. That means I might stay away from basketball, so the Lakers made me the Gary Smith I am today."

What he said won a tsunami of applause from the scene, and Lao Zhan nodded repeatedly for his high EQ.

Mark Cuban, who was watching TV at home in Dallas, smiled and said to his wife, "How did that guy know that I was going to choose Costas?"

His wife smiled, "The whole world knows that you plan to use Giannis' brother to lure him to join the Lone Ranger in the future, only you don't know."

Looking back at Staples in Los Angeles, Lin Feng waved to the audience under the lighting of the main stage.Even the Clippers fans applauded him, which is a great recognition for a basketball player.

Lu Wei, Beverly, Harrell, Alexander and even Clippers owner Ballmer applauded.
