Chapter 1203 The Strongest Chinese Derby in History
A non-Lakers-style victory. Although from the score point of view, this is a typical Lakers-style victory. The Lakers have scored more than 120 points many times this season, but from the core point of view, the Lakers did use the previous The Spurs defeated the Spurs the way they do best, and it was especially obvious in the first half.
After this game, many Spurs fans finally realized the reality. This Spurs team is not strong enough to compete with the current Lakers.
As Su Qun concluded after the game, after watching this game, you can understand the Spurs' powerlessness against the Lakers this season. This is a more desperate powerlessness than when they faced O'Neal at his peak in 2000, because at that time They still have a way to restrain O'Neal. They have super twin towers inside and can also kill sharks. Their lineup is young and energetic. No matter how many times they lose to the Lakers, you can always see the hope of winning in the future. This is exactly the case. It was the Spurs who personally ended the Lakers' dynasty in 2003 and started their own career of three championships in five years.
But now, everything is different. The young one has become a Laker. Compared with the Lakers, the Spurs' lineup is like a racing car that is about to run out of gas. When facing the Lakers JK, you can't even find the Spurs in the lineup. Who can top it.
This defeat was also the third time the Spurs lost to the Lakers this season, and they lost an average of more than 24 points per game. This was the most painful regular season defeat against the Lakers in recent years.
It can be seen that the Spurs generals are very frustrated. Duncan said in a long-awaited interview: "I think we need to sum up."
Duncan played very poorly in this game. Under the siege of the Lakers' twin towers, Duncan only made 3 of 11 shots and only scored 10 points with 4 free throws. You must know that he played a full 40 minutes, which is a new high this season. , but even so he failed to turn the situation around.
After this game, Shifo fans have to admit that Duncan has really declined. Although he can still carry in some games, he no longer has the absolute strength he had when he won the championship in previous years. He is still unbeatable for the Spurs. They lack a leader, but the Spurs' style of play really needs to change.
Parker didn't even accept an interview after the game. He was taken care of by the Lakers in this game and only scored 16 points and 5 assists, which was far from his usual performance. The reason was that the Spurs had too few scoring points and the Lakers could double-team without restraint. He and Ji Feng even let go of Bowen and Udoka many times during the game to help defend Parker.
The statistics of these two people are still terrible. Bowen did not make a shot or assist in the 16 minutes of playing time. He only had 2 rebounds and committed 4 fouls. Uduka was not much better, with 3 times. One shot came in.
Many times on the court, you can see that the ball has clearly been passed to them, and Ji Feng is not here, but they just don't dare to shoot, which makes the Lakers play smoother and smoother.
In contrast, for the Lakers, Ji Feng once again scored a triple-double with 26 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds. It was the second time this season that he scored a triple-double in three consecutive games, and his playing time was only 32 minutes.
Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 28 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds, Gasol scored 20 points, Bynum had 16 points and 8 rebounds, Fisher had 7 points, and on the bench, Ariza had 11 points and Walton had 10 points. , Farmar scored 9 points, and the Lakers bench team completely defeated the Spurs.
The impact of this game is very far-reaching. ESPN directly lowered the probability of the Spurs winning this season after the game. They fell out of the top 6 for the first time in so many years. You must know that the Spurs are ranked third in the Western Conference.
This incident triggered a heated discussion among fans. Many Spurs said they were waiting to slap ESPN in the face in the playoffs, but ESPN didn't care and said they would apologize if the Spurs really won the championship. Anyway, the noise was very lively.
However, the Lakers who caused this situation withdrew from the matter. After resting for a night in San Antonio, they arrived at the final game of the Texas trip, Space City, Houston, the next day, the morning of the 17th, and immediately Commit to training.
This is the second time the Lakers have played against the Rockets this season. The first time the Lakers won easily, but McGrady was still injured at the time, so this is the first time the Lakers and Rockets have played against each other in full.
The strongest Chinese derby in history!
The Chinese media has set the tone for this game!
The training hall is not far from the Toyota Center, so at noon after training, Dayao, who had not seen him for a long time, came over. When Ji Feng came out of the training hall, he saw a giant waving at him from a distance. He was coming. Invited Ji Feng and others to dine at Yao Restaurant.
"Hey, Brother Yao, Tracy, and you, dear Uncle Mu!" Ji Feng high-fived everyone one by one. After living in the United States for so long, Ji Feng has become accustomed to this way of greeting.
There are many people traveling with us, because the members of the two teams are very familiar with each other. Needless to say, Ji Feng and Dayao, Ji Feng has a good relationship with McGrady and Battier, and McGrady and Kobe have been friends for many years. They often trained together in the summer and left a legend in the amusement park in Los Angeles when they were 18 years old. So I finally had time this time. Except for Ji Feng and Kobe Bryant who disliked each other, Artest did not come. Others who could have come. Everyone came at once.
These people walked on the street and successfully attracted the attention of street fans, and even reporters got wind of it. However, Dayao was well prepared and a RV solved all problems.
A total of 13 people sat at the largest table in Yao Restaurant. This was Ji Feng's first time to come to Yao Restaurant. This was the time when Dayao was most popular in Houston, so Yao Restaurant naturally became a famous attraction in Houston. Fans from all over the world come here to dine here every day.
The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. Ji Feng was very satisfied with the wontons he had tasted from his hometown for a long time. The wontons here were specially made for them by Aunt Yao. They are absolutely natural, pollution-free, low in oil and salt, and can be eaten with confidence.
After lunch, everyone else went back to the hotel or home, while Dayao and Ji Feng prepared to return to his home in Houston to visit and meet Ye Li, who has become his sister-in-law.
"Brother Yao, this place is nice! It's quite cozy. It's different when there's a woman at home." Ji Feng arrived at Dayao's villa in Houston and looked around.
"Stop it, my big star, your mansion in Los Angeles has been in the news. The banquet is called a banquet for the wealthy in China. It's a pity that I don't have time to go." Dayao said with a smile.
Dayao has played for the Rockets for so many years that he bought a total of two villas in Houston. A lakeside villa bought in downtown Houston is about 300 square meters and worth 500,000 US dollars. The one Ji Fenglai just bought at the beginning of this year is located in Memorial, a wealthy area of Houston. It is more than 1,100 square meters and the purchase price is 4.5 million is definitely considered a luxury house, but of course it is not as good as Ji Feng's.
However, because of the competition, Dayao usually lives in the city center. Today he came here purely to show Ji Feng around.
