NBA: Top 3-D talents at the start

(There are only three updates a day these days, and I can’t get any more explosive. Let me rest for a while and regain my glory. This is the first update.)

Before the start of the regular season, the Lakers' lineup has basically been determined, at least for the time being.

In the eyes of Lakers fans and outside media, this lineup is very average, very, very average.

There are 15 people in the team, including 6 guards, namely Rajon Rondo, Derrick Rose, Lonzo Ball, Seth Curry, Jordan Clarkson and Josh Hart.

The six forwards are Wang Feng, Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, Julius Randle, Larry Nance, and Luol Deng.

Three centers, Brook Lopez, JaVale McGee, Yinvica Zubac.

Since the roster was full, the two second-round picks selected by the Lakers in the draft were sent to the Development League.

Fans don't like this lineup, but Wang Feng is quite satisfied. As long as it performs normally, this lineup will definitely have a certain degree of competitiveness in the Western Conference. When the team trades Butler, it will become the favorite to win the championship.

In the regular season opener on October 18, when the Lakers played away against the Portland Trail Blazers, this was the starting lineup the Lakers fielded.

Starting point guard: Lonzo Ball, shooting guard Ingram, small forward Wang Feng, power forward Julius Randle, center Brook Lopez.

This starting lineup is the same as last season. Several players signed by the Lakers in the summer were sitting on the bench and did not get a chance to start.

In this opening game, the Lakers narrowly won 124:123. The game was extremely fierce. With 2 minutes left before the end of the game, the Lakers were 5 points behind, but Wang Feng suddenly broke out and scored 8 points in a row to catch up.

And he hit the buzzer-beating ball at the last moment to defeat the Trail Blazers in a thrilling manner.

Wang Feng scored 18 points in the fourth quarter and 46 points and 13 rebounds in the entire game, continuing his strong scoring ability and efficiency from last season.

However, despite the victory, the Los Angeles media generally did not rate the victory highly in this game.

"Sure enough, it was another typical Wang Feng-style heroic victory. The Lakers did win the game, but facing the Trail Blazers whose regular season record last season was lower than theirs, the game process was extremely difficult, and even in the end

Or do you rely on luck to win the game with a winning goal? How long can such a victory last?"

"Several players signed by the Lakers this summer basically didn't get many opportunities to play. In fact, even if they had more playing time, it wouldn't make much difference. You can't count on the 33-year-old Rondo because of injuries.

Rose, who has been devastated by illness, and McGee, who only played less than 10 minutes with the Cavaliers, can provide more help on the court."

"Wang Feng needs to perform better if he wants to prove that he wants to challenge LeBron's league status."

The media said this, but directly ignored the fact that the Clippers faced the Nuggets in their opening game and lost the game 107:98.

James scored 26 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists in his first appearance with the new team. Both his personal performance and the team's performance were inferior to Wang Feng.

But no one cares about this. They only need to watch the game between Wang Feng and the Lakers. Why bother with so many comparisons?

Immediately, they had an opportunity.

On October 20, the Lakers faced the Houston Rockets at home and lost the game 115:121.

Harden scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, while Paul scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists.

Although Wang Feng also scored 35 points, 14 rebounds, and had 4 steals, he failed to lead the Lakers to win the game.

Moreover, there was an episode during the game. Rondo and Paul had a quarrel, which immediately led to a full-scale martial arts fight. The young and energetic Ingram immediately stepped forward to help. All three were ejected, and Rondo was subsequently suspended for 3 games.

Ingram was suspended 4 games.

The Lakers lost game after game and were ridiculed mercilessly.

"Winning or losing aside, when Rondo and Paul fought, it was Ingram who rushed to help immediately, not Wang Feng, who claims to be the boss of the team. Isn't he the leader of the Lakers? His younger brother was bullied.

Why didn't you go to help immediately?"

"The start of the Lakers' regular season was not ideal. After only two games, Ingram was suspended for 4 games. Without the biggest support around him and the experienced veteran Rondo, Wang Feng led the Lakers in the next

How many games can you win in the competition?”

However, reality quickly slapped these people in the face.

On October 22, the third game of the regular season, the Lakers faced the San Antonio Spurs at home.

Although DeRozan was not very happy when he came to the new team, he was very comfortable under the Spurs' tactical system. He scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists, plus another star Aldridge's 37 points, two games.

He scored 69 points.

But the Spurs failed to win this game.

Because of this game, Derrick Rose broke out.

In Rondo's absence, Rose became Ball's main substitute, and quickly showed strong offensive efficiency when Ball took a break, which kept Ball on the bench for a long time in the second half.

Watching your substitute play.

In the end, Rose played 32 minutes and scored 28 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block on 11 of 21 shots.

Wang Feng scored 40 points and 11 rebounds, coupled with Kuzma's 22 points and McGee's 16 points and 8 rebounds, winning the game 129:121!

Rose's outburst caught everyone by surprise. No one expected that Rose, who had almost no ball to play last season, would actually perform so efficiently and well.

The Lakers' management was even more pleasantly surprised.

Signing Rose was strongly requested by Wang Feng. They themselves were not interested in Rose, but they still gave Rose a one-year low-salary contract of 3 million yuan for Wang Feng's sake.

Unexpectedly, Rose actually performed well in the game.

In the previous preseason and the first two games of the regular season, Rose served as the third substitute. He could only get a little playing time when Ball and Rondo were off the court, and his performance was quite satisfactory. No one noticed him... only

Wang Feng.

In Wang Feng's impression, Rose's outbreak occurred during the period at the end of October, especially in the game between the Timberwolves and the Jazz on October 31. Rose took 31 crazy shots, hit 19 goals, and scored 50 points.

6 rebounds and 6 assists, leading the Timberwolves to win the game.

After the game, Rose looked up to the sky and screamed, and the scene of emotional tears touched countless people, and Wang Feng was one of them.
