Luke Ridnor sat on the floor, feeling like he was in hell, being knocked over by a rookie.The teammates pulled up Luke Ridnour, who was sitting on the ground in a daze.

On the Timberwolves' bench, Rick Adelman couldn't sit still and called a long timeout to appease his players and emphasize the team's tactics.

On the Lakers' bench, the players off the court got up one after another and gave high-fives to the players who had just entered the court.

There was no suspense in the next game. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves who came to challenge with a score of 110 to 85 at the Staples Arena.

The new players that the Lakers have joined this season have performed well.Andrew Goldlock played 15 minutes and scored 10 points with a beautiful floater.Josh McRoberts played 27 minutes and had eight points and six rebounds.Li Yifeng debuted as the starting center, played a total of 25 minutes and scored 21 points, including two three-pointers, nine rebounds, including three offensive rebounds, and two blocks.Lin Fengzhe scored [-] points in [-] minutes, including three three-pointers and ten assists.Of course, Lin Fengzhe is also the first player to get a double-double in points and assists among defenders other than Kobe Bryant for many years.

At the press conference after the game, the team's head coach Mike Brown praised the players who played well in this game, and at the same time expressed once again that he was honored to be able to coach such a team with championship strength and was proud. He expressed his praise for the team's young players with potential, "The team's lineup has changed a lot this year. The team has added more young blood, bringing vitality and stronger impact to the team. .Andrew Godlock, Lin and Lee in particular have been fantastic."

"Kobe, what are the team's goals for this season? What do you think of the new teammates?" a reporter who got the chance to ask questions asked Kobe Bryant.

"My goal is the championship. I want you to know how much I desire the championship." Kobe Bryant said solemnly. "As for my new teammate, I'm very satisfied. Andrew Godlock's throw is very accurate and beautiful, isn't he? Let's talk about Lee, I believe he will become the top insider in the league, and this big guy can also shoot three points , What a wonderful thing. Not to mention Lin, everyone may have seen the bullfighting video between me and Lin. He not only has excellent breakthrough and shooting ability, but also has a very good view of the overall situation. He is an excellent player. A good point guard. A young and good point guard is exactly what our team needs right now."

Soon, the press conference was over.

The next day, the newspaper reprinted part of last night's press conference, and focused on analyzing Kobe Bryant's remarks.

"Kobe Bryant positions his teammates well, play the fifth position well, and don't compete with me for the ball." This is the content of the "Boston Morning Post", and the grievances between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics are well known.According to reports, the team's newly signed defender Lin Fengzhe from China was affirmed by Kobe Bryant for his wonderful performance on the field yesterday.
But at the same time, it also made it clear that what the team needs now is someone who shares the burden of the organization, not someone who shares the right to shoot.

News of this kind spread throughout the United States, and then spread further.

Netizens who heard the news the next day couldn’t help shouting, “China finally has a guard who can get a double-double in the NBA, and he didn’t make an appearance during garbage time, but started from the very beginning. This undoubtedly made domestic netizens rejoice.

For this reason, Kobe Bryant also made a special call to Lin Fengzhe to express his meaning.Not to mention that Lin Fengzhe treated Kobe Bryant's injuries, but with such a powerful helper, Kobe Bryant would never force him away.You must know that there are only a few excellent point guards in the entire league, and most of them will not transfer.Even if a deal is reached, the Lakers can't afford to suffer extensive injuries. After all, the annual salary cap is there, and few people are willing to pay more to the league.

Lin Fengzhe said clearly to Kobe Bryant, "I don't want the boss of any team. I just want to know the championship. As for my brother, this guy thinks about beautiful women all day long. So don't worry that I will steal your position. But I have a question of principle, I am an organizational point guard, the distribution of the ball on the court must be my way, even if you are on the court. I don’t think anyone is unwilling to easily win the game.”

In this way, the two reached an agreement. The fundamental reason for the agreement was that both of them wanted a championship, but one wanted to be the leader of the team and still have a championship ring.

Next, the Lakers have six preseason games against the Nuggets, Rockets, Jazz, Jazz, Warriors, and Kings.Among them, the back-to-back game against the Warriors is an away game, and the game against the Kings is also an away game.

In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers achieved a record of seven preseason victories.Last season's main players averaged no more than 25 minutes per game, which undoubtedly gave substitute players and rookies more opportunities to play.Of course, the consequence is that the team's average loss per game is as high as 102 points.

In seven preseason games: Andrew Godlock averaged 10 points and 8.5 assists in 1.2 minutes per game; Darius Morris averaged 8 points and 4.5 assists in 0.8 minutes per game.Josh McRoberts averaged 8 points and 10.2 rebounds in 5.2 minutes per game.Lin Fengzhe averaged 25 minutes per game, started five games, averaged 17.5 points, 9.8 assists, and 2.1 steals per game.Li Yifeng averaged 10 minutes per game, started three games, averaged 15 points, 10 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game.

It has to be said that the Los Angeles Lakers, judging from the current lineup, undoubtedly added a lot of depth to the bench, and at the same time ensured that the main insiders can have enough time to rotate and rest, and because of Lin Fengzhe's appearance at the point guard, for the The team made up for the biggest shortcoming. Of course, the specific effect can't be seen until the regular line.

However, domestic fans saw Li Yifeng and Lin Fengzhe's data with mixed reviews.

It is praised that Lin Fengzhe is the hope of China's guard line, and Li Yifeng is the second Yao Ming and the cornerstone of the future national team. The two will surely create their own world in the NBA.In short, all kinds of compliments.

Those who criticized said that this was just a preseason game, and the defense was not strong. It was mainly for training newcomers, grinding the lineup, and rehearsing tactics.Moreover, in a rich team like the Los Angeles Lakers, there are enough big-name players to attract the attention of defensive players for them, so the statistics of Li Yifeng and Lin Fengzhe are so good-looking.Obviously they can ignore Li Yifeng's strength when Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol are not on the inside, and Lin Fengzhe's performance when Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher are not on the court. The big picture shown.

October 23, the day after the team finished their last preseason game.The team did not train in the morning, and only had regular recovery training in the afternoon. After a rough rehearsal of tactics, the training ended.

Before the training ended, Coach Mike Brown announced to everyone that the team would have a two-day holiday on the 24th and 25th, and they would arrive on time for training at 26:[-] am on the [-]th.Then let everyone go away.

"Hey! Guys, are you interested in hanging out?" Andrew Bynum asked.

"Go to the bar? Count me in. I won't train tomorrow anyway." Matt Barnes was very positive. "Who else is going?"

For a while, everyone responded one after another, and what surprised everyone most was that Kobe Bryant also expressed his willingness to attend the party.For example, Derek Fisher, who is familiar with Kobe Bryant, knows that Kobe Bryant hardly attends this kind of party, so please don’t invite him. Later, everyone didn’t ask Kobe Bryant to go together. , I didn't expect that I would take the initiative to participate this time, and everyone couldn't help being surprised.

So a group of people went to the bar mightily.

As soon as a group of people entered the bar, they attracted the attention of a large group of people. It was not easy for a group of tall people to stand where they would not be eye-catching.Fortunately, they called to make an appointment in advance, and everyone hurried to the private room.Since there are many rookies in the team, the camp after sitting down is very clear, with a wave of newcomers and a wave of old people.The atmosphere was a bit delicate, but fortunately there was world peace and Derek Fisher was active, and soon everyone joined hands and began to call each other brothers. Of course, except for a few people such as Derek Fisher, no one else Take the initiative to find Kobe Bryant.

"Kobe, why don't you go and play with everyone?" Lin Fengzhe came to Kobe Bryant with a beer bottle and shouted at him. There is no way that World Peace is showing off his singing voice at the top of his voice, the noise is too loud.

"I'm not interested, and as long as I pass by, the atmosphere there will definitely drop a lot." Kobe said indifferently, "I'm really looking forward to the game. I can't wait to get the championship trophy."

"Are you so confident?" Lin Fengzhe smiled.

"It used to be [-]% sure, but now with you and Li joining in, I think I'm already sure."

"It seems that my weight is still not enough, and it's still [-]% short."

"What I said is true. I hope you can help me win the championship. You know that Fisher is old and can't get up fast." Kobe Bryant said seriously.

"Okay, okay. Now is the time to have fun, don't talk about these things, it's so boring." Lin Fengzhe laughed.

"Fengzhe, go play. I want to go back first, I'm not used to this kind of place." Li Yifeng pulled Lin Fengzhe aside and said.

"Okay, then you go back first. You didn't drink just now, so you just drove the car back. Here are your keys." After speaking, he handed the key to Li Yifeng.

Li Yifeng said goodbye to everyone and left.As soon as Li Yifeng walked out of the bar, he saw two young men dragging a woman into an alley by the roadside.One of them said, "I didn't expect this medicine to be so effective, and a little beauty like a bar can be made like this."

"That's right, don't you look at how much I paid for this medicine. Today, my brother has something to play with."

While talking, the two had already turned into a dark alley.

Hearing the two people's reply, Li Yifeng instinctively felt that something was wrong, and followed them into the alley.
