The Rockets' loss means that the Lakers are safely on the shore.

The two teams only have one last game left. Even if the Lakers lose to the Trail Blazers and the Rockets win the Suns, the two teams have the same record. According to their matchup, the Lakers are still ranked third.

This game changed the situation in the West again, with the Thunder rising to sixth in two consecutive victories and the Jazz falling to seventh. This means that according to the current situation, Lin Feng will face his "old rival" Westbrook in the first round of the playoffs.

The two are not just opponents. As early as the beginning of the season, the Lakers re-evaluated Lin Feng, who performed well. The new scout report shows that his template is not someone else, but Russell Westbrook.

Perhaps because of the similar styles of playing basketball, they can always spark on the court. With Westbrook's temper, he naturally is unwilling to use himself as a template to surpass himself. On a certain level, this is a humiliation.

Of course this is not the final finale of the West. In the last round, if the Thunder loses and the Jazz wins, the Thunder will still fall to seventh to face their nemesis Denver Nuggets.

In the eighth place battle, the Spurs beat the Cavaliers away with one more game, which temporarily rose to the end of the playoffs. The Lakers' victory over the Clippers is likely to kick the city's arch-rival out of the series, which has also triggered two waves of fans on the Internet.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the Frank family was about to drive away. Ursula and Lam were reluctant to part with each other, but there was no good reason to stay overnight.

If you beg the Franks and his wife to leave Ursula at this time, you might as well just say that you want to be as simple as her tonight.

That night, the Lakers chatted in the group. The Thunder killed the Rockets, which was beyond the expectations of most fans. They could easily face the game against the Trail Blazers, and the final rankings of the two teams would not change, so it would be a very harmonious handshake ceremony.

"Will we take a rest? Haha!" Kuzma, who spoke, thought he could easily pass the last game.

Finson poured him a basin of cold water, "Brother, it won't be us even if we take a rest. That's the privilege of LeBron, Gary, Javier."

After saying that, he smiled bitterly.

Kuzma realized this problem and immediately responded to a laughing and crying, "You said it to Lance, I almost thought I was the super core of the team."

Of course, even if Luke Walton chooses to rest in the last round, someone needs to play on the court, and it also has to be worthy of the fans who pay Staples to watch the game.

As a "traffic star" in Los Angeles, Kuzma's appearance will definitely cause screams. Perhaps Walton will give him more than 30 minutes to perform, provided that he is not injured at this time.

Soon, Yingge appeared in the group, and he posted a cool photo of himself at home, and then said that he was likely to return in the third game of the first round.

"Come back quickly, brother, we are all waiting for you." Lin Feng quickly typed a line of words.

James sent a hugging expression, "I can't wait to play in the same game with you. You've been away for too long."

Everyone welcomed Yingge to return to the team. If he really returned in the third game as he said, it would be better, because the team doctor gave the idea that he would miss the entire playoffs.

There is also good news. Lonzo Ball, who has been away from the stadium for most of the season, will also return in the playoffs, but the time has not been determined. This is another excitement point, but the team is too crowded on the point guard line, and I don’t know how the coaching staff will balance it at that time.

Anyway, everything is full of expectations, and the Lakers are in great momentum.

After Ursula returned home, she couldn't wait to video him, and Lin Feng lay on the bed to show her tender side.

"What are you going to do if there is really no game?" Ursula asked mischievously.

Lin Feng thought for a while, "I haven't decided yet, but I think it's very likely that I won't need to play in the last round."

"If the coaching staff thinks I am a very important core player," he added.

In fact, the Lakers coaching staff made two plans long before the Thunder and Fire Battle. Now the team's third in the Western Conference is a foregone conclusion, and the outcome of the last round doesn't matter.

The team training the next morning was as usual, and Pelinka and Magic Johnson came to the Staples Training Hall early to meet everyone.

The first thing we met was to hug each other, telling each player that they had a successful season, from last year's lottery zone to this year's championship contender, fifteen players put in their own efforts.

"Gary, you're really great. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing myself back then." Johnson said sincerely, his eyes flashing.

Lin Feng naturally knew how brilliant Johnson was in the past. He had a tall 206-centimeter point guard. He even replaced the injured "Tian Gou" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 1980 Finals and scored explosive data of 42 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists.

"Sir, I know what you did in your rookie season. To be honest, I can't compare to you."

Lin Feng was very modest. He understood the huge energy contained in that guy Johnson when he was young. He won the championship in the rookie season and the most valuable player in the finals. He won all the honors that year.

In contrast, the data and honors Lin Feng has obtained cannot be compared with him for the time being.

Johnson patted his shoulder and said meaningfully, "Defend me, you are the best point guard in history, and luckily you have at least fifteen years to do this."

This is the motivation of his predecessors to young people. Lin Feng was very helpful to him. Not only did he win this year's championship, but he wanted to regard "the first point guard in history" as his career goal.

Soon, Luke Walton appeared in front of everyone, talked about the chicken soup of the soul, and told them that in order to prepare for the playoffs, the team was preparing to take some players off in the last round of the game against the Trail Blazers.

This is good news, and most playoff teams will do the same.

After the regular season, there will be about three days to rest, and then the first round of the playoffs will start. After 82 games, the players will definitely be exhausted. It is better for most players to have three or four days to rest, and the league will acquiesce to such things.

Fortunately, Lam is on the rest list. In addition to him, there are James, McGee, Kuzma, Rondo and Pope who will play tomorrow night's game, but it won't be too long, and they want to train young people more.

After hearing this news, Kuzma was a little disappointed. Lin Feng didn't understand him. Whether this guy wanted to rest or play on the court.

The training lasted only two hours on this day, and then everyone went home to rest.

The Lakers are the first half team. No matter whether the final opponent is the Thunder or the Jazz, they will play two home games at Staples first and then go away, so they will stay in Los Angeles for the next week.
