Chapter 984 The Curtain of the New Season Kicks Off, and the Championship Flag Flutters!
After changing the slow heat in previous years, the Lakers showed their strength in the preseason. They swept their opponents in almost every game, and the main players did not play more than 25 minutes. At least 12 people were rotated in each game. They also take a break from time to time for one or two main players, but even so, they won very easily, and the Lakers ranked first in the league in points, assists per game, steals per game, etc., and they were only better than the Celtics in limiting the opponent's score. It's only 1 point lower, which is almost no difference.
Of course, some people questioned the reason why the Lakers played so smoothly because their opponents were not strong enough. Except for the Jazz, other teams were basically the fish-belly teams last season, so there is nothing to brag about.
For such a voice, Ji Feng is of course thinking that he is farting, and he doesn't care much about the praise of Ji Feng and the Lakers from the outside world. After all, some of the words are still in place. No matter how good the game is, it is only a preseason game .

In their hearts, they are strong enough to compete with any opponent.
"Guys, let's go win the championship!" Fisher even shouted such a slogan in training on the 27th.
What's even more irritating is that the Lakers didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence from top to bottom, not to mention Ji Feng, Kobe, even Zen Master, the old Jianghu, thinks this is the case. In a word, their entire team is now from top to bottom. There is a sense of confidence.
Although this is like poisonous milk, according to Kobe, in the 00-01 season when they were OK at their peak, the whole team was filled with the atmosphere of winning the championship from the beginning of the season. The Lakers are very similar.
And that season really exploded, with 69 wins in the regular season and only one loss in the playoffs to win the championship, and the Lakers also went down in history.
"Maybe, we can do better than last season." Ji Feng said when he saw the atmosphere of the team. In addition to winning the championship, they still have a lot of records to break. Ji Feng can't wait!
