Chapter 80 81. The regular season kicks off
trembling!Lin Feng's body was shaking!
Not nervous but excited!
This is the realization from Gary Smith that he is finally on the NBA stage, just be patient, and he will appear on the court wearing the number 11 jersey!

He wants to prove his worth on the court, not fly to Portland just for a $120 meal allowance.

In fact, regarding Lin Feng, Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts did not pay too much attention. He would not formulate targeted tactics for a player who had problems playing.

On Luke Walton's side, as early as in the locker room, he has been emphasizing the issue of restricting the Blazers' double guns in the backcourt.

It goes without saying that the key is that no one on the Lakers can limit Lillard.

"I need you to increase the number of outside shots and mid-range shots, and reduce singles at the basket as much as possible!"

Walton's words are still recalling in his head. Walton is afraid of the Blazers' inside behemoth Nurkic. He doesn't think that McGee, who sometimes shines and sometimes short-circuits, will take advantage of the inside.

Sitting at the end of the bench, Lin Feng looked at the field very seriously.He is part of today's game. Walton told him that he will come off the bench and that Lin Feng needs to restrict the opponent's backup guard Stauskas.

That guy is a cold-blooded killer with a high three-point shooting rate, and he is sitting on the bench watching the court just like Lin Feng.

McGee and Nurkic jumped high, the basketball was photographed in Lillard's hands, and the audience cheered.

Their city hero kicks off the new season and it's clear that the first attack will be his.

Lin Feng looked at everything with his chin resting on his cheeks. From the moment he jumped the ball, his eyes would never leave the basketball, even if there were hot cheerleaders not far away.

A three-pointer with a step back, the Blazers took the lead to get the three-pointer. This goal is very similar to the one that killed the Thunder later.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Ingram handed the ball to Rondo, and James pulled away near the bottom line.

Still, the Moda Center dedicated the boos to the old man.

Rondo sorted out the offense patiently. He was waiting for Ingram to be on the weak side and singled out Lehman by virtue of his height and arm length.

Jack Lehman is the weakest link on the Blazers field. He has not yet played the starting strength. I believe that Stotts will replace him in a short time.

Ingram is often compared to Durant because of the similar size and style of play.

Countless people think that Ingram is a star about to take off, and he is highly expected by fans.

Turning over and missing the jumper, the Lakers' first offense ended with a crisp iron strike.

It is estimated that most of the fans in Los Angeles are looking forward to James' first score, including Lin Feng, who are imagining how that strong guy will get the Lakers' first point in an official game?
Violent dunk?Or a mid-range shot?Or go straight for a three-pointer?
With nine and a half minutes left in the first quarter, McCollum made a mistake in the frontcourt and threw it directly into Lao Zhan's arms. Of course, he would not miss such a great gift.

Taking the ball and throwing away Aminu behind him, he drove straight into the basket, and announced the official start of his Lakers career with a gliding one-handed dunk!
The bench began to boil, and Stephenson jumped up, swearing and cursing non-stop, which was his way of expressing his joy.

Wagner grinned and roared with his trademark big mouth, Lin Feng also stood up and applauded, he was the more reserved one.

The Lakers fans at the scene were louder than the home fans, and they shouted MVP!

But soon, before this wave of excitement passed, Lillard on the other side hit back with a gliding dunk!He always likes to respond quietly.

The emotions of the fans in the audience were completely mobilized with the two dunks. Rondo quickly sent the baseline ball to James in the half court. Old Zhan strode into the penalty area again with a one-handed dunk!
The arena was lit again.

Lin Feng couldn't suppress his emotions, even the calmest person would shout loudly in this kind of atmosphere.

Three dunks in just 40 seconds!

The Lakers led 14 to 7, and Stotts had to call a timeout to adjust his tactics.

The Lakers bench, who were still silent in the explosive dunk just now, stepped forward to greet the starting fighters, expressing their inner joy with heavy high fives.

"Good job, focus, passion and we will win the game."

Walton was pleased with the performance of his disciples. The first quarter of the debut is usually low, because the players need to adapt to the rhythm of the game.

After several months of offseason, the players have to rediscover the familiar feeling of the past.

"The opponent will make adjustments in the third position to strengthen the defense against Ingram, so we have to move the ball outside more and look for three-point opportunities."

In some games, the starting bosses are often absent-minded when facing the coach's tactics, but the substitute who has no chance listens very seriously.

The Lakers were aroused by Lao Zhan's two dunks, and everyone gathered around to listen to Walton's tactics.

Standing behind Wharton, Lin Feng nodded his head, as if those things had something to do with him.

Sure enough, Stotts replaced Lehman with Harkless to make up for the disadvantage at the third position.

The newly played Puerto Rican has performed quite well in the past season and can be regarded as a qualified substitute.

After the timeout, the Blazers strengthened their inside offense, starting with big center Nurkic as the first point of attack, similar to the Nuggets' style of play.

The two guns in the backcourt ambushed outside the three-point line looking for opportunities. Today, Director Li was very active. They are extremely eager to pay tribute to the boss who just passed away with victory.

The Blazers once played a 10-2 attack wave to overtake the score, and then the two sides came and went, attacking and defending each other.

31 to 34, the Lakers trailed by three points. It seems that there is no big problem, but the outside three-pointer has not been opened for a long time. Only Rondo made a three-pointer.

James missed two shots and Ingram made one and zero.

This is a dangerous signal. The opponent has opened up the three-point range, and if the Lakers continue to have no touch on the outside, then Stotts will let his players shrink to the basket.

In this way, James' impact on the basket will be greatly reduced.

Wharton saw it, but he had no choice but to hold a deck of cards without three points.

Lin Feng is eager to try, he thinks he can solve the team's three-point problem, don't ask why, at this moment, he is full of confidence.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Walton replaced Pope with Josh Hart, and he will be on the bench soon. McGee is old and can play up to 25 minutes a game.

Pope was like sleepwalking in the first quarter. He had no chance on the offensive end, and was sieved by McCollum on the defensive end.

Hart has a three-pointer, but he is not stable.Lin Feng knows the true strength of this guy, running off the ball and cutting in the air are his strengths, and he has a strong sense of presence.

Sure enough, Lao Zhan's pass was converted into a three-pointer as soon as he appeared on the court.

"Nice job buddy!"

Lin Feng excitedly stood up and cheered for him, while Hart waved his arms towards the bench.

The three-pointer is really a magical thing.

Especially when waiting for it to draw a parabola in the air, just a second is very exciting.
