655. The feeling of holding the initiative

After changing sides, the Jazz seized the opportunity to fight back.

Mitchell and Gobert scored one after another, helping the team narrow the gap to within five points.

But with the return of James, the situation was brought under control again.

As the playoffs approached, James showed the dominance of the league's number one man. After the last round against the Clippers, rumors that he was old were almost gone.

The turning point was a cooperation between the Lakers in the middle of the third quarter. James passed the basket with a wonderful pass. Lin Feng jumped high and slashed the ball into the basket with one hand, and caused a foul by Gobert's thug. After that, the Jazz's spirit plummeted.

Just like in many previous games, when Lin Feng showed some difficult points, his opponent's confidence would be instantly disintegrated because they found that no matter how they did, they could not defend against that No. 11.

Two rounds later, James was almost at the same position to send an all-access dunk to Lin Feng, which made coach Schneider off the court look like dust.

Rudy Gobert is indeed an excellent defender, but only at the basket. Once pulled to the outside, the Jazz's inside height cannot stop the Lakers' guard's successive attacks.

In the fourth quarter, it almost became garbage time, and the score difference was always around 15 points. In the last three minutes, with Hart's three-pointer from the outside, the Jazz finally surrendered, withdrew all the starters and replaced them with substitutes.

Walton was also satisfied with the place name drum's withdrawal. The opponents they fought against in this battle were useless, which was also a warning to the Utahs, so that they knew that if they met the Lakers in the first round, they could prepare fishing equipment in advance to enjoy the fun of fishing by the beach.

Lin Feng scored a full 30 points, fifteen of which came from teammates' assists, and the other fifteen points came from strong attacks at the basket. Without an outside shot, he perfectly showed his characteristics.

James contributed twelve assists, and there was no suspense that he would win the regular season assist king this season, which also added a lot of bargaining chips to his competition for MVP.

A team has both assist and steal kings, which shows that the Lakers are doing well on both offense and defense.

There was no attempt at a three-point shot in two games. A defender like this was simply an alternative in the era of small balls. But no one in the league dared to underestimate him because Lin Feng controlled the ball and refined it to the highest level, several times stronger than Simmons.

However, he didn't rely much on three-pointers. To be honest, he would rather rush into the basket and complete various difficult layups, collided with the inside muscle men, and then sent the ball into the basket under the strict defense of those guys. The feeling was a joy that could not be felt when standing on the outside to shoot at a fixed point.

In this way, the Lakers have only one last opponent left, that is the Portland Trail Blazers.

Since the Lakers defeated the Jazz tonight, it means that Lillard's team is frozen in fifth place in the Western Conference, and the Rockets, who cannot surpass fourth place, cannot be surpassed by the Jazz.

In the last game, Coach Stotts is likely to take a major player off the turn and accumulate strength for the playoffs.

The final suspense in the West is the third place battle between the Lakers and the Rockets, the sixth place battle between the Thunder Jazz and the Clippers and the Spurs are the final playoff spot.

Interestingly, the Rockets and the Thunder will have a direct conversation tomorrow night, and the losing team will lose hope of rising rankings. For the Thunder, they are in danger. They lost to the Timberwolves in Minnesota two days ago, which means they have lost the initiative and can only determine their final ranking based on their opponent's face.

They will challenge the Milwaukee Bucks away in the last round. Although Antetokounmpo and others are likely not to play, the starving camel is bigger than the horse.

Watching the game at home with a relaxed attitude is better for Lam Feng.

The Thunder Rockets' contest became a night party at Smith Farm. Lin Feng invited the Franks and his wife to visit the house, and of course Ursula followed her with her.

The two families gathered, which was a scene that Lin Feng was happy to see. They predicted the game, and the bet was a priority tasting of a bottle of French Domani Estate red wine.

Although Lin Feng had no good feelings for the Thunder, he resolutely bet on the Thunder to win, because only when Westbrook's team won the last two rounds could they rise to sixth in the West and meet the Lakers in the first round.

"God bless them to win the game, because only the Lakers can give them failure." Lin Feng said with a smile. He is not a believer, but he has also begun to talk about God because of the people around him. Although he does not believe that that guy really exists, after all, Europe has experienced countless disasters, and no gods have descended from the sky to help them overcome difficulties.

Of course, this does not mean that Lam Feng thinks that those who pray all day are stupid. In his opinion, it is a very beautiful spiritual sustenance, which is more fulfilling than the guys who have no faith in their hearts.

Of course, no one can tell whether God exists or not, and everything is a test.

"Gary, if it were before, I would stand on your opposite side to support the Rockets so that Ursula knows how well his dad knows basketball. But I found that luck always stands on your side, and I really wanted to know how delicious this bottle of wine is, so I decided to stand on your side tonight."

Mr. Frank's words can be represented in one sentence, that is, I also support Thunder. But the business elite trait in my mind makes Frank like to explain the reasons for his choice to the people around him and make a big circle.

Ursula knew her dad’s temper, so she said without hesitation, “Dad, you can tell us simply that you have the same choice as Gary, rather than telling a whole bunch of boring things.”

Frank was a little embarrassed. He frowned and quickly picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth. He smiled at everyone and said, "This is my daughter."

On TV, the camera focused on Harden, followed by Westbrook. The two of them had experienced the finals in the Thunder and had a wonderful youth together.

Add to their eldest brother Kevin Durant, which is a tragic brotherhood that is different from LeBron’s Banana Boat Brothers.

Before the game, Harden and Westbrook had a brief exchange. At least they seemed to have a good relationship, not as tense as Westbrook and Durant.

In fact, Lin Feng believes that Westbrook is a good guy, very loyal and passionate. If it weren't for winning or losing on the court, maybe the two could have become good friends, but this is competitive sports.

"See it? Russell Westbrook, my match with that guy was a trash talk conference, he said I was a hairless rookie, and I responded to him as a complete data liar."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, the entire Smith's living room became quiet. After a while, Dad Andrew spoke.

"Russell is very appropriate to describe you, but your words are indeed a bit heavy. After all, it is a big three-double per game throughout the season, which is difficult for ordinary basketball players to do."

My father is a rational person. He will use his energy to prevent the ship Lin Feng from deviating.

Frank nodded in agreement, "I have unforgettable memories with the Oklahoma consortium, but I also think Russell is a great player."

Lin Feng spread his hands and said with a wicked smile: "Because Mr. Bennett stole your country music channel?"

Frank was surprised, "How did you know?"

He quickly understood and looked at his daughter.

Ursulan whispered, "Dad, I don't think this is a stain on your life. Mom and I have always regarded you as proud."

On the TV screen, Capela and Adams appeared in the camera, and the two faced each other sideways, which was the preparation before jumping the ball.
