NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 290 Start to exert force

With the end of November, the Lakers played 11 games and achieved a record of 22 wins and 19 losses, still ranking first in the league, which surprised everyone.

Of course, if you carefully observe the Lakers' schedule and opponents, you will find that the Lakers' schedule at the beginning of the season is relatively easy. Up to now, they have not met the five-star Warriors, nor have they met the powerful Bucks in the East. Defeated the Raptors once, but it was still the Raptors without Leonard.

Even the Rockets met only once and lost the game.

And entering December, the Lakers' schedule is still not very difficult. In a total of 12 games in December, the only strong opponents are the San Antonio Spurs at the beginning of the month, the Houston Rockets in the middle half, and the opponents in the Christmas game on December 12. The Golden State Warriors, and the city derby at the end of the month, the game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Excluding these teams that can be ranked in the top ten or so in the league, what is left is the bottom of the league such as the Phoenix Suns, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans, Washington Wizards, Sacramento Kings and Charlotte Hornets.

These teams are definitely not a threat to the current lineup and strength of the Lakers. As long as the Lakers perform normally, there will be another wave of winning streak.

But this month, for Wang Feng, the first small challenge is coming.

在他的印象中，12月是哈登第一个爆发的节点，这个月哈登将会场均贡献37分5.6篮板6.9助攻，而紧随其后的1月份14场比赛，哈登场均可以贡献43.6分8.7篮板7.6助攻！

It is precisely because of the strong explosion in these two months that Harden's scoring average soared from the early 30s at the beginning of the season to 36.1 points. 1 points, and then the game scoring average dropped in February and March, and finally settled at 38 points.

This is a parallel time and space. Wang Feng is not sure whether Harden's scoring average will drop after February to April, or if he wants to win the honor of scoring champion with a player with a similar scoring average. Will Harden reduce his average shots per game?

This kind of thing is very likely to happen. After all, in another time and space, George, who ranks second in the scoring list, averaged only 28 points per game. There is a huge gap with Harden, who has 36 points. No one can threaten Harden's scoring. Therefore, he will reduce the number of shots in the second half of the schedule to save energy and concentrate on preparing for the playoffs.

Wang Feng doesn't know whether Harden thinks this way, but if so, once Harden really increases his scoring average to 38 or even 40, and he himself does not reduce his shots in the second half, he will always maintain this level. In the case of averaging points per game, it will be difficult for Wang Feng to surpass Harden in points per game.

Therefore, Wang Feng decided to increase his shots in December, especially from beyond the three-point line.

On December 12, the Lakers played against the Phoenix Suns at home.

王峰登场31分钟，26投12中，其中三分球20投9中，罚球7中6，得到39分11篮板。

On December 12, the Lakers played against the San Antonio Spurs at home.

Wang Feng played 41 minutes, made 28 of 16 shots, 17 of 11 three-pointers, 5 free throws, and scored 46 points.

Immediately after the 7th, the Lakers came to the away game against the Spurs. Although the Lakers lost the game 129:133, Wang Feng's performance was even more explosive than the previous game.

Since the Spurs were almost killed by Wang Feng's three-pointer in the last game, the Spurs strictly defended Wang Feng's outside shots in this game and did not give any chance at all. In the end, Wang Feng only took 7 outside shots and hit 4 goals.

But if you can defend against a three-pointer, you can't prevent a breakthrough.

Wang Feng, who broke through the frame with a lot of balls, almost tore the Spurs' defense to pieces.

三分线内21投13中，同时不断冲击篮筐的王峰也终于JDZ附体一次，制造大量犯规，罚球14中10，全场砍下48分12篮板4助攻4抢断。

It's a pity that Wang Feng's superb performance matched the Spurs' multi-point blooming.

DeRozan also performed well in this game, scoring 36 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists.

On the Spurs team, a total of 8 players scored in double figures, and one player scored 8 points and 7 rebounds.

This also led to the fact that although Wang Feng scored 48 points and Butler also scored 21 points, the Lakers still lost the game.

The day after the helpless loss to the Spurs, the Lakers immediately took a breath of anger at the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies are now completely pulled. Last season's regular season ended with less than 20 wins. Although Conley returned from injury in the new season, the team's lineup and strength have long been unable to keep up with the Western Conference. It only ranks around 12th to 13th in the West, and it belongs to the type that is slightly stronger than the sun at the bottom.

The Lakers had nothing to say about the Grizzlies, and they took them away easily. Wang Feng played for 32 minutes and didn't play much in the fourth quarter, because after three quarters, the difference between the two sides had already reached more than 30 points.

而出场的32分钟里，王峰18投10中，三分球8投5中，罚球7中6，砍下31分8篮板。

On December 12, the Lakers played against the Miami Heat at home. They are another team on the edge of the playoffs, and they are still in the relatively weak Eastern Conference. Naturally, they are not the opponents of the Lakers.

118:105轻松结束比赛，王峰22投14中砍下36分。

The only thing worth mentioning is that this season is also the last season of Heat legend Dwyane Wade.

Wade imitated Kobe and launched a national retirement tour. Although the scene was much worse than Kobe, the Heat can be regarded as the last respect for the star who has played for the team for many years and contributed to the peak of his entire career.

After each game, Wade will choose to exchange jerseys with an opponent player as a souvenir.

In mid-November, when the Heat and the Lakers met for the first time, Wade chose to exchange jerseys with his former Bulls teammate Jimmy Butler, and jokingly said to Wang Feng: "Wang, we will meet again next time, wait for that It's time to exchange jerseys with you again."

This is the second and final match between the two teams in the regular season. After the game, Wade exchanged jerseys with Wang Feng with a smile and took a commemorative photo.

Wade is also a player that Wang Feng likes very much. He is low-key and humble. He can also make a lot of sacrifices for the team. The three championship rings are the best interpretation of his career. The only regret is that Wade did not win in his entire career. After one regular season MVP, even if he only wins one MVP, his historical status will be greatly improved.
