Chapter 1709: Continuous Rampage, Grammy-Winning Journey (Part 1)
The poor Hornets became the first victim of Ji Feng's outbreak. New Orleans once again ushered in an embarrassing tragedy, and Paul continued to play the role of Ji Feng's victim.
After the game, some Los Angeles media joked that if the Hornets disbanded later, it would be Ji Feng and the Lakers.
What the outside world cares more about is what Ji Feng said after the game. This is the first time in a long time that Ji Feng has mercilessly criticized the media.
Strong, angry, and full of fighting spirit.
As ESPN's commentary said: "There is no doubt that Ji Feng is very angry. An oversized triple-double is proof of that. He scored the highest points in the game and was not satisfied with the highest assists. He also stole the most points in the game." Of rebounds, you must know that Okafor only grabbed 7 rebounds next door. Ji Feng is about to get twice as many rebounds as him. It is hard to believe that this is a data for the third position compared to the fifth position, let alone There are also key statistics such as 6 offensive rebounds.”
"Obviously, Ji Feng was irritated by the doubts from the outside world. They beat second place in the Western Conference, but they were called the beginning of their decline. This made Ji Feng full of fighting spirit."
Barkley also said in the live broadcast: "I am not surprised at all by Ji Feng's performance. This is what a superstar should do. Use practical actions to respond to those who doubt. This is what players like us should do. "
Barkley put his face on his face without blushing and didn't care at all about the disgusting look from Smith next door.
"To help you recall, the fat man O'Neal scored 60+ and 20 rebounds in a single game after being angered, and Kobe once scored 50 points in 4 consecutive games amid doubts. As for my old buddy, Michael Jordan, He silenced the doubters with 12 triple-doubles in 13 games.”
"Then let us guess what Ji Feng will do."
Barkley's words made the Lakers' opponents tremble. They originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to score points when the Lakers were tired, but now they could only pray that Ji Feng wouldn't be too aggressive.
The first to bear the brunt is the Grizzlies, who just gave the Lakers 35 consecutive victories...
The Grizzlies were well prepared for this game that started on February 8th. They got inspiration from the Spurs. They defended intensively throughout the game and continued to defend in a zone. The Black and White Bears sat in the paint and guarded to prevent the Lakers from easily breaking through and scoring. In order to limit Ji Feng, the third position even directly abandoned Gay, the core player for several seasons, and let Tony Allen serve as the starter to compete with Ji Feng.
This lineup will definitely not lose to 99% of the league's teams in defense, and even the Spurs may not be able to take advantage of such a defense.
However, it was the Lakers who had the last laugh in the end, and they won with a score of 110-82.
The key to victory is naturally Ji Feng!
The Grizzlies really tried their best.
The Grizzlies put up a big defense and achieved results in the first 2 and a half minutes. The Lakers failed to attack several times and were beaten 6-1 by the Grizzlies in the opening game.
Unexpectedly, Ji Feng changed his mind and began to take frequent shots from the outside. He made 4 three-pointers in the first quarter.
Hollins' face turned green, how could he defend himself?
However, this was like an appetizer before a big meal. In the second quarter, Ji Feng became more and more out of control. He made 6 of 8 three-pointers in a single quarter, which was disappointing.
"10 three-pointers in the half! Wow, Ji Feng was amazing again tonight!"
The Grizzlies' defense is like a punch on cotton, with nowhere to show it, because the Lakers are not prepared to fight you forcefully!
In the third quarter, the Grizzlies had to change their defense. At this time, Ji Feng passed the ball again...
"It's all over!" Hollins wanted to lie down on the ground. There was really no way. They really tried their best.
Ji Feng played three quarters of the game and made 12 of 18 shots, including 11 of 15 three-pointers and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 42 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 steals.
With 40+ points in two consecutive games, Ji Feng's response continues.
After that, the Lakers encountered a tough situation. In the first game of the Eastern Conference, they needed to face their old rivals the Celtics in Boston.
Although there was a three-day rest period in the middle of the game, Jackson still chose to rotate. Kobe and Bynum sat on the bench, Farmar and Blake were put into the starting lineup, and Powell got the starting opportunity for a long time.
But none of this matters, because Ji Feng is still the protagonist of the game.
In this game, the Celtics were at their wits end. After all, they lost miserably in Los Angeles in the first game. This time they returned to home court and they had to fight back no matter what, otherwise the home fans wouldn't agree.
However, as soon as the game started, Ji Feng showed his strength. Whether it was Ray Allen or Pierce, Ji Feng could always find a chance to respond to the ball after they scored.
The first quarter lasted 8 and a half minutes, and the two sides reached 17-17. All 17 points of the Lakers came from Ji Feng!
This energy affected other Lakers teams. In the second quarter, they woke up from their slumber and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Green Army. Inside blue-collar Powell broke out tonight and actually held Parkinson firmly down, allowing the latter to fight at halftime. He didn't score any points, but he scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks under Ji Feng's bombardment.
With Powell's support on the inside, Ji Feng has become more and more unscrupulous on the outside. Pierce can't touch the flexible Ji Feng at all now. Several strong shots have made Pierce lose face.
With 32 points in the half and 48 points in the third quarter, Ji Feng proved his energy with such actions.
105-100, the Lakers defeated the Celtics with 5 points in an away game, double defeating their opponents this season. Ji Feng scored 57 points, 7 assists and 9 rebounds, scoring over 40 points in 3 consecutive games!
Without stopping at all, Ji Feng also refused Zen Master's instruction to take a rest. In New York, Ji Feng scored 51 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists back to back, becoming another player in the league to score 50+ back to back and the first player in two consecutive seasons. Players who can complete back-to-back 50+ points!
Bernard King, Michael Jordan, Antawn Jamison, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant and Ji Feng became the only six men in history who could do it.
"The Knicks' money should be spent on players like this." New York media said after the game.
But unexpectedly, just two days later, Ji Feng once again refreshed his own record.
On February 14, the Lakers played against the Magic away from home, and Howard was sharpening his skills. He was the guy who was not afraid of Ji Feng. Before the game, he made bold promises to make the Lakers return without success.
To be honest, he had such capital, but he underestimated Ji Feng's strength and determination!
Ji Feng has gained experience in playing World of Warcraft. He is not afraid of such a big man at all. Through pick-and-roll and pull-out, Ji Feng made 8 three-pointers over Howard's head.
Moreover, the Lakers threw 20 three-pointers in the entire game. Although they did not break their own record for three-pointers made in a single game, with 20 three-pointers, the Magic really couldn't break their iron blood even if they hit their heads. Battle formation.
Magic coach Van Gundy said in an interview after the game: "If the Lakers have such a good touch every night, I don't think any team can beat them."
