321. Catch the bear
The Memphis Grizzlies once ascended the No. 1 throne in the West.
The six consecutive victories at the start of the game were quite amazing. As the season progressed, the team hit the ceiling of strength and gradually fell out of the front of the West.
Before Christmas, I rushed to Staples to challenge the Lakers. Although the whole team was full of confidence, my strength was there, and no matter how hard I struggled, I could not escape the bitter fruit of the loss.
December, Christmas Eve.
The major shopping malls have already decorated their lights and are waiting for Christmas to come. As the weekend comes, Christmas celebrations have begun outside Staples Center.
In addition to the Lakers' golden fan shirts, the most common ones are red Christmas elements.
Tonight is of great significance to Lin Feng. It is not just a game, but today is Ursula's birthday. He had promised Ursula to attend her birthday party after the game ended.
Lin Feng decided to do something tonight, not just a game against the Grizzlies, but also the party that followed.
On Christmas Eve, the Grizzlies can go home and prepare for the festival with their families after playing this game, and Lakers fans will fly to Oakland the day after tomorrow.
The two teams had just fought two weeks ago, and the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies away without a risk. It was that game that allowed the Lakers to quickly escape from the loss to the Spurs and started a six-game winning streak.
This was Staples' last home game before Christmas, so the team also specially arranged a Christmas theme to let fans feel the atmosphere in advance.
During the warm-up period, James put in a long three-pointer and showed off his dancing skills. He collaborated with Fenson and McGee, who had a full comedy effect, and caused the audience to laugh.
Lin Feng often seems out of place with them because he is not stupid enough.
The Grizzlies' star is McConley, who was once the highest-paid in the league.
Speaking of Conley, we have to mention Greg Oden, the man who was once highly anticipated.
Conley met Oden as early as the age of twelve. The two went to the same middle school, followed by high school and college, and participated in the NB draft in the same year. Later, their situations were very different, which is a pity.
McConley is not among the best in the league, but he is a solid player in the play, the kind of team who has many scorers most want.
In addition to Conley, the Grizzlies also own "Gasol Little" Marc Gasol. According to the development of the previous life, he finally left the Grizzlies who had no hope of winning the championship and followed the Raptors to win the first championship ring in his career.
Jaren Jackson, who also entered the league this year, has secured his start for the Grizzlies. As this year's No. 4 pick, he averaged 13 points and 44 rebounds per game.
Although the data cannot be compared with Lin Fengdongcic, who is outside the 20th, or Trae Young, who is 1 per game, he can rank among the top in this rookie.
In the last match, Lin Feng defeated Xiao Jia and gave away the "Lin Feng Brand" hotpot that almost every rookie in the same class has eaten. They fought again tonight, and the topics of the two have been warmed up in advance.
Next is Lin Feng’s "old friend" Kyle Anderson. That guy has always been quiet and has the shy temperament of an oriental. He has been following Conley when he was shooting, like a small follower.
The Grizzlies are mostly young people, and they have accumulated many potential rookies in recent years. Due to the small football market, they have been developing tepid.
On the Lakers side, McGee is still on the verge of the fight, and the "old boxing champion" Chandler also needs a rest due to a back injury.
The Lakers, who were originally unavailable in the interior, are even more stretched. What can be seen is that tonight, two young men, Zubac and Wagner, will take on the heavy responsibility of the interior, and James and Kuzma may play in the No. 5 position for a period of time.
In this way, the Grizzlies' Gasol might be able to replicate the miracle of the last thick eyebrows and make a big difference in the Lakers' inside.
The Grizzlies' "tall, rich and handsome" Chandler Parsons still hangs a high-level battle-free sign, appears on the side of the court in casual outfit, and doesn't even need to wave a towel. You can easily earn money by shouting "Grizzlies Championship" occasionally.
The game went as expected. The Lakers were caught by the Grizzlies for a fierce attack because of their lack of inside line. Fortunately, Gasol Jr. hit a normal shooting percentage after the opening and only led the Lakers by six points at the end of the first quarter.
At the end of the quarter, the Grizzlies relied on Gasol Jr. and Conley's outs and internal shots to score a 90-0 goal, ending the first quarter with 2620.
Lin Feng made his debut in the next quarter and started the score-chasing mode.
Pope followed Lin Feng's breakthrough in the left corner and made a three-pointer to tie the score. The subsequent wave of Lakers-style "rotating lineup strikes" made the Grizzlies unable to resist.
Lin Feng performed well and gave his teammates many opportunities.
But the Grizzlies' unknown Wayne Seldon suddenly made a personal attack wave, hitting all three mid-range shots, helping the team catch up with the score.
Lin Feng relied on his personal ability to score consecutively, while the Grizzlies' outside line opened the floodgates and made consecutive three-pointers to force Coach Walton to call out a timeout.
Obviously, James was accumulating his strength for the Christmas game two days later in this game, and replaced his personal offense with a passing organization tonight.
For a 34-year-old veteran, it should be more planned, but Lam Feng doesn't need to worry about physical fitness at all.
His physical recovery speed is faster than that of normal people, and playing teams like the Grizzlies does not require much consumption.
As the second quarter progressed, Lin Feng gradually entered the state, and suddenly made the big man Ivan Rab, who was substituted by the Grizzlies, doubting his life.
Lin Feng completed the task well with 10 points and 0 mistakes in a single quarter.
The main player came back in the third quarter, and Yingge made consecutive shots to widen the score gap to a 10-minute mark. Conley, the Grizzlies' starting player, and Gasol, joined forces to teach the young Zubac, and soon let Zubac get four offenses.
Wagner, who was replaced, failed to change the inside advantage, so Walton simply let Kuz top the fifth position and line up the "death five small".
The Grizzlies are one of the slowest teams in the league. They were originally a team that was good at positional combat and defense, but they seemed out of place after the small ball era.
Gasol Jr. could not keep up with the Lakers' offensive rhythm, and frequently ran back and forth at both ends, which consumed a lot of physical energy.
Kuzma plays the fifth position and cannot compete with an ordinary center in terms of height or figure, but as long as he runs, the Lakers have a chance.
Lin Feng and Coach Long alternately play the role of organizer. When there is a passer master on the court, Lin Feng can show his talent on the offensive end.
He and Kuzma Yingge took turns to bomb the Grizzly Bear's position, and the opponent quickly surrendered.
Like the previous game, with five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies took the starting lineup and announced that they would go home to set up the Christmas tree.
Lin Feng took a simple shower and changed into clothes and rushed to the parking lot.
He was grateful to his teammates for winning the opponent in three and a half quarters, and did not get overtime or frequent timeouts in the fourth quarter.
The reporters who originally planned to interview him were speculating about where Lin Feng was going, but basically no one knew about it, and they were all thinking about it.
Chapter completed!
