In October, just half a month after the rally of the Lakers, the NBA regular season will officially start on the 27th of this month. However, although the new season is only 20 days away, the water surface of NBA is still calm.
Since the Lakers completed a series of amazing deals, there has been no surprising news in the NBA. All the teams have assembled and are now preparing for the new season. Now, what can be seen in the basketball newspapers is only some trivia news and the overall outlook of the major media on the teams and the form of the league in the new season.
Ji Feng, who frequently appeared in the major newspapers during the off-season, has not appeared in the public view for more than half a month. Since returning to the Lakers on September 15, Ji Feng's life has been restored to the two-point front-line between the training ground and home again. In addition to some necessary commercial endorsement activities, Ji Feng pushed off all the extra itinerary and basically spent the whole day in the training hall for training.
However, although Jifeng does not appear, the legend of Jifeng is still circulating in the lake. Naturally, the reason is that Artest and Shannon Brown, who are new to the Laker team, praise Jifeng on various occasions.
After the first rally of the Lakers on the 15th, reporters waiting near staples captured Artest walking out of the court with a serious expression, while Shannon Brown and others who came out later were also very ugly, which made many reporters and lake black excited.
In the next few days, news of "the new Laker players can't fit in with the team," "Ron Artest competes with Jifeng for the main team," "and there's a suspected discord within the team," and so on.
It's just that the Lakers have been silent because no one has responded and no evidence has been found, but the suspicion has always been there.
It's not easy to wait until September 28, when the Lakers held their first media group interview of the new season. Reporters were like sharks smelling blood, and they wanted to dig out some exciting materials.
However, the result has surprised everyone
Shannon Brown: This is my home
Mbenga: it's great to be home
Powell: I will go through fire and water with all my heart and contribute to the Lakers
The most coquettish is Artest.
Ron Artest: "I love it so much. To be honest, it's a great team. The players here are excellent. I'm very happy that I chose here."
"Contradiction? No, no, no, no, I get along very well with the people here. They trust me and I also trust them. Ji Feng and I have become brothers. To be honest, I think Ji Feng is the first small forward in the league. His strength is beyond doubt. His personality is very charming. I am very happy to play with him! "
This set of remarks made reporters who were ready to dig out the contradiction between Artest and Ji Feng directly fooled their eyes. Many reporters looked at Artest blankly, as if they wanted to see if the guy in front of him had lost his bag.
Is Artest the one who can say that???
After that, Artest cooperated with the Lakers in the public training class. His interaction with Ji Feng and even Kobe was very loving, which made the reporters think that they all went to Hollywood for further study
However, the fact is that, with the influence of the special corporate culture of the Lakers and the old fox's means such as Zen master, Artest has been convinced and determined to contribute to the future of the dynasty of the Lakers.
The relationship between Ji Feng and Artest has improved a lot. Artest's character is very simple. He doesn't have so many thoughts. To such a tough person, you are stronger than him. Conquering him with strength is more effective than anything.
The 11-1 of that crushing undoubtedly played a big role, and for the next half month, Jifeng was in opposition with Artest every day. Every time Jifeng tried his best, hammering Artest. Even after Artest said that he was not satisfied, they would still practice in private.
In this way, Artest is naturally convinced of Jifeng.
As for others, strength is everything here.
"It looks like the Lakers are running in very well, but everything has to be proved on the court." Mg Sports Daily said.
On the whole, the atmosphere of the Laker team is disappointing, but they still have a glimmer of expectation. After all, the game has not started yet, in case the game is pulled.
But soon they were disappointed, and on October 8, the Lakers had their first preseason game of the new season.
The Lakers are at home, and their opponents are Golden State Warriors who have made a lot of adjustments in the new season. Curry, the general of Jifeng and Jifeng, finally met in the NBA.
However, this is only a pre-season game. Although Jifeng started the game, it took only 6 minutes to play in a game. Even the warm-up was not counted, and there was only one confrontation with curry. Jifeng mercilessly abused a wave of Kuku rookies in the back singles.
With 7 points and 4 assists, Ji Feng tries his best. The real protagonists are the new comers who have just joined Jifeng.
Artest appeared 32 minutes, showing a strong offensive and defensive ability. This summer, Artest was stronger and his muscle strength reached the peak of his career. Although the movement was affected, the threat on the defensive side was really great, and the offensive side also performed well, scoring 20 points and 7 rebounds in the whole field.
Shannon Brown has also brought a strong physical talent to the Laker's reserve lineup. Although Mbenga and Powell are not as good as Radmanovic in scoring, they are the proper blue collars. They play hard in defense and have excellent rebounding ability, which undoubtedly makes the Laker bench more profound.110-90, the Lakers beat the warriors by 20 points.
Although lost the ball, curry is still very happy after the game, after all, he is a rookie, the first game of 18 points 5 assists has been good.
The first game of the Lakers proved that they didn't lie, and the new arrivals were really smooth.
After that, on the 10th, the Lakers visited golden state again to meet the warriors, which is still the same script as the first game. The Lakers destroyed the warriors with their sharp attack and abnormal defense. They won 120-80 points, a 40 point victory, Kobe Bryant got 39 points, Ji Feng 28 points, 15 assists, Gasol 20 points, Bynum 16 points, 10 rebounds, Artest 16 points, and the five tigers of the Lakers showed their power.
After a back-to-back win over the warriors, the Lakers took a little rest, and six days later, they met King King at home. This season's peak swayed to the point guard for the first time, and Artest started at the same time.
This directly let the king surrender, the first quarter of the Lakers hit 46-10 super score difference, and then did not play, the Lakers won three consecutive pre-season.
On the 18th and 19th, the back-to-back Lakers didn't let Kobe and Ji Feng play, but they still beat the Hornets 107-104 and the Clippers 100-95.
After a wave of easy to write five consecutive wins, the Laker lineup has almost run in, the Lakers also began to take turns, let the substitutes appear more, and then two games successively played one win and one defeat against Denver Nuggets, the Western rival of last season.
6-1, the Lakers also ended all eight pre-season games, although not a total victory, but the outside world is looking forward to the new season.
Finally, on October 27th, the Lakers ushered in the opening game's first opponent!
