NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 251 Winning Streak and Losing Streak

From the perspective of the lineup, the Cleveland Cavaliers have no ability to win the championship. Apart from James, there is only one star player in the team, Love, who averaged 17 points and 9 rebounds per game.

It's no wonder James thought of running away.

The management of the Lakers has a lot of headaches because of Wang Feng's attitude. After all, James is too tempting to them. Thanks to the fact that the trading channel has been closed, they can worry about this issue until the end of this season, and then do it after the free market opens in the summer. decide.

After the Lakers All-Star Weekend, the morale of the whole team was greatly improved, and a wave of five consecutive victories came directly.

On February 2, the Lakers beat the Dallas Mavericks 23:124 at home.

On February 2, the Lakers defeated the Sacramento Kings 24:113 away.

On February 2, the Lakers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 26:123 away.

On March 3, the Lakers beat the Miami Heat 1:131 away.

On March 3, the Lakers defeated the San Antonio Spurs 3:116 away.

A wave of soul-stirring five-game winning streak made the Lakers fans extremely satisfied.

It was originally thought that after the All-Star Weekend and the final sprint of the playoffs, the increased intensity of the game would make it difficult for the young Lakers players to adapt, resulting in a sharp decline in the record.

Unexpectedly, the performance of the Lakers was even better than before the All-Star.

In these five games, Wang Feng's average of 35 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.5 steals per game is as efficient as ever, and the performances of young players such as Ingram and Kuzma are also remarkable.

On March 3, the Lakers lost to the Portland Trail Blazers at home, but the scores of the two teams were very close, 5:108, and the Blazers narrowly won by one point.

Damian Lillard, who scored 39 points in the game, was the main contributor to the Blazers' victory, but the highest score in the game was Wang Feng's 42 points. The only fly in the ointment was that Wang Feng missed the final shot. .

Although they lost the game, the Lakers were honored to lose.

On March 3, the Lakers easily defeated the Magic 9:125, but after this campaign, the Lakers ushered in another wave of bad schedule.

Two games against the Denver Nuggets, plus a home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and a fourth game on the road against the Warriors.

Although the Nuggets are currently ranked outside the eighth place in the Western Conference, they have every chance to compete with several other teams in the Western Conference for the playoffs. There are only 2 games, and even if they win one more game, they may have an upper hand in the playoffs.

Under this premise, the whole Nuggets team seemed to be fighting with chicken blood, desperately entangled with the Lakers.

The inexperience of most young Lakers players was fully exposed, including Ingram and others. The Lakers players made frequent mistakes under the desperate pressure of the Nuggets. They failed to win both home and away games.

Facing the Cavaliers, the Lakers won a victory, because Love of the Cavaliers was absent due to injury. James led the team with a single core and led a group of role players. Looking at these talented young players of the Lakers, A look of melancholy.

After facing the Warriors for the last time in the regular season, Durant finally raised his eyebrows in front of Wang Feng.

In this game, many of the Warriors' main players took turns. Curry, Thompson, and Green all three main players were on truce, and Durant led the team with a single core, just like the previous Cavaliers James.

But the difference between the Warriors and the Cavaliers is on display here.

Durant, who scored 19 points on 10 of 26 shots, actually performed mediocre in personal data. His scoring did not reach his average of 28.4 points per game this season, but seven Warriors scored in double figures.

In addition to Durant, Nick Young scored 18 points, Quinn Cook 13 points, Kevon Looney 11 points, Pachulia 10 points, Casspi 15 points, Livingston 13 points.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr likes to appoint role players. It’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad. Sometimes he really overplays. He obviously has the league’s most scoring outside partner combination, but he wants to Demonstrating his ability to employ people led to a tragic comeback for the Warriors.

But sometimes, his method can really dig out some shining role players, at least better than the Lakers who will not play at all as long as James is not on the court.

With 5 games and 4 losses, the Lakers who had just won a wave of 5 consecutive victories and seemed to be going to the sky were directly shot down.

Only then did the fans of the Lakers realize that although the current record is the third highest in the Western Conference, the record of the Lakers is actually a bit puffy. These young players are more confident than one when the wind is down, and they play very well. .

But when they encounter adversity and their confidence is hit, they will also appear timid on the field, and their performance will also become worse.

After the game with the Warriors, on March 3, the Lakers played against the Miami Heat at home.

At the beginning of March, the Lakers played heartily in the away game against the Heat, winning by 3 points.

However, the Heat once again ushered in at home, and the Lakers played extremely hard.

Finally lost the game 91:92.

6 games and 5 losses, a wave of losing streak directly allowed the Lakers to be gradually overtaken by the Trail Blazers, the fourth in the Western Conference.

Fortunately, in the final fierce competition, the Blazers also lost a lot of times, otherwise the third position in the Western Conference has changed hands now.

……

On March 3, the Lakers beat the Indiana Pacers 19:110 in an away game. Finally, they finally put a stop to their losing streak and breathed a sigh of relief.

With the end of this game, the Lakers' regular season schedule has played a full 70 games, and there are 12 games left, and the regular season is about to end.

In these 70 games, the Lakers scored 42 wins and 28 losses, with a winning percentage of just over 60%. If they continue to play the next 12 games according to this winning percentage, the Lakers are likely to win 50 wins.

The last time the Lakers won 50+ games dates back to the 10-11 season, which is really a long time.

Who would have thought that the Lakers would bring such a big change to the team just by signing Wang Feng last summer?

Wang Feng's personal data has stabilized at 35 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Currently, he is temporarily ranked second in the regular season MVP list, second only to James Harden.

This season's Harden's personal data has declined slightly compared to last season. The average data per game is stable at 30 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists, which is slightly inferior to last season's 29 points, 8 rebounds and 11.2 assists. Let the Rockets have a qualitative leap in their record.

The Rockets this season have led the league record from the very beginning. Although they were caught up by the Warriors for a certain period of time, as Curry, Durant and others suffered from minor injuries and illnesses, the number of absentee games increased. regain the top spot in the league.
