Chapter 45 The moonlight is so beautiful tonight

 At the beginning of the season, the Lakers' schedule is still good, but starting from late November, the pressure on the Lakers' schedule suddenly increased, and it is already the third back-to-back battle in the short term.

Fortunately, after the Yellow and Green battle, the back-to-back opponents were the Golden State Warriors, who were in California and were playing badly. The flight distance was not far, and the opponent's strength was also very average. The team was sure to have both fish and bear's paws.

Like the Lakers, the Warriors are a team that is good at attacking. If they are in full health, the Lakers certainly don’t mind letting fans watch a wonderful offensive battle, but the fatigue of dragging back-to-back battles with a team that is good at attacking at the opponent’s comfortable rhythm is purely because of his brain disease, Ke Yan is not that stupid!

"Although the Warriors' offense is very strong, they are purely concerned about their heads and butts! The Warriors can only continuously impact by speeding up the pace of the game and cultivate their feel. They are not good at slow-paced attrition wars. As long as we slow down the rhythm, they will be restrained!" Ke Yan's few words pointed out the Warriors' weaknesses.

Having said that, in the game, you can't win every battle by knowing yourself and your opponent.

After the opening, the Warriors defeated the Lakers by relying on their home advantage. The team's main center Troy Murphy was as tall as 213, with accurate outside shooting and continuous shooting from the outside, staring at people and making strong shots. The key is that he can still make the Lakers a little uncomfortable. After Anderson was pulled to the outside, the Lakers' defense at the basket was a little empty. Richardson and Dunleavy Jr. strengthened their breakthrough and empty cut today, and the referee blew the home whistle today, which made the Lakers quite passive.

Ke Yan adjusted the game strategy in time and suddenly took a full-game attack to limit the Warriors' advancement and exit. First, it caused a mistake in the Warriors, and then forced Fisher to call a timeout to avoid being intercepted continuously, regaining the momentum of the game. Next, the Lakers focused on the wing position, Kobe and Butler's personal ability advantages to single Richardson and Dunleavy Jr. The Warriors' outside defense was not very resistant, and Richardson and Dunleavy's offense was also affected.

Kobe's performance was still sharp, 39 points and 4 rebounds beat Richardson, and Butler also scored 19 points. The two teamed up to score a shot, helping the Lakers defeat the Warriors 108:97 and achieved three consecutive victories!

With this victory, the Lakers' record reached 14-9 and returned to the sixth position in the West, which basically meets the media's positioning of the team before the season. At present, the Lakers' positioning is at this position.

As Ke Yan said in an interview, the Suns started this season with a pretty good start, with a record of 19 wins and 4 losses, and two wins ahead of the Spurs, the second in the West, taking the lead. Nash's joining fully activated the team, and the team's other firepower points were activated by him. His average of 15 points and 11 assists per game so far is not particularly exaggerated, but Nash's role is not something that can be reflected by data.

The Spurs, Supersonics Mavericks, and Rockets ranked second to fifth, while the Kings and Timberwolves were originally favored even behind the Lakers, which has undergone reconstruction this season, which is also surprising.

For the NBA, this season is a year of change. In the past three seasons, the Lakers, Kings, Timberwolves and the Nets in the East have all fallen. The Suns, Supersonics, and Bulls have all been unpopular in the past three seasons, and have all emerged and entered the upper half of their respective divisions.

After returning to Los Angeles for a day of repair, the Lakers went on a trial trip again, and came to the Devils' home energy solution center to challenge the Utah Jazz during the reconstruction period.

Jerry Sloan is the coach with the strictest tactical requirements in the league and the highest requirements for players' tactical execution. He claims to "pull five people off the bus and practice for half a year and participate in the NBA." This is an exaggeration. If NBA players can produce so easily, there will be more young men with basketball dreams crying and shouting to join the Jazz. Even if they get a basic salary, they will be "people are the best" in life.

The departure of the Utah double evil spirits made the Jazz decline, which also proved that Jerry Sloan was not that magical. After becoming the main force of the team, the Spanish defender Raul Lopez, who became the main force of the team, could not withstand the NBA-level confrontation at all. He was injured after playing for a month. Puerto Rican defender Arroyo, who led the team to play the Dream Team at the Olympics, was also magically absent from the NBA field, and he could not play Sloan's pick-and-roll system. He was scolded by Sloan for the duration. Without a good point guard, the Jazz couldn't play anything on the offensive end, and basically went to the three point guards of the 2005 draft.

105:93, the Lakers won away and continued to rank sixth in the West (15-9).

It is still 10 days before Christmas. Wang Lifan has completed her course this semester and is about to start her winter vacation. Of course, she is going back to Atlanta to celebrate Christmas. Before leaving, she also took the initiative to make an appointment with Ke Yan for dinner.

"Where are we going?" Ke Yan asked after receiving Wang Lifan.

"I don't know." Wang Lifan stuck out his tongue, feeling a little embarrassed.

"No, you asked me for dinner, and I don't know where I go." Ke Yan was puzzled.

"I rarely eat outside and don't know where it tastes good." Wang Lifan said honestly.

Wang Lifan was quite proactive when facing Ke Yan, but apart from Ke Yan, she didn't have many male friends. She was mainly female friends, and the one closest to her was Hebe.

Ke Yan was a little strange, and thought for a while and said, "I saw a private kitchen on the guide some time ago. It tasted very good, mainly because there were not many people and it was quieter. Why don't we try it?"

This is what an international student said on the forum when he was surfing the Internet. He said that this store tastes good, but it is expensive.

It is expensive for some international students, but Ke Yan should be able to bear it. Or to put it another way, 99% of restaurants in Los Angeles can handle Ke Yan, who has a middle-class income level.

Half an hour later, the two of them came to this private kitchen restaurant. The location was a bit remote and a little secluded. There were no hotels or anything else around and there were not many customers. This kind of place just happened to be very suitable.

After getting the menu, Ke Yan ordered a few dishes before handing it to Wang Lifan.

Wang Lifan didn't answer the menu, just looked at Ke Yan.

What she likes to eat was ordered by Ke Yan: "How do you know what I like to eat?"

"I have had several meals with you. Where can I stretch my chopsticks to the point? It's not difficult to see what I should avoid."

Wang Lifan pursed his lips slightly, his expression a little unnatural. It was not difficult to pay attention to these things, but he also had to pay attention.

After ordering, Ke Yan also ordered a bottle of Canadian ice wine: "This is a ladies' sweet ice wine. It doesn't have much degree and won't get drunk. I think you will like it."

After ordering, Ke Yan explained specially.

"Of course~" Although Wang Lifan was a master of medicine, he did not resist alcohol, so he poured the waiter over and took a sip. It was indeed a drink, with a slight smell of alcohol.

"Although it's a bit early, but the next time we meet will probably be next year, right?" Ke Yan picked up the wine glass and clinked the glass with Wang Lifan, "Merry Christmas."

"cheers~" Wang Lifan pursed his lips and suppressed his smile, "I still think about going to the Hawks home court on the 30th. It seems that you don't welcome me, so I'll prepare for the new semester course at home~"

"No. 30!" Ke Yanqiang was delighted, "Of course I welcome you to appear in the Phillips Arena. We can celebrate the New Year together!"

If it weren't for Wang Lifan's reminder, Ke Yan wouldn't have expected that the Lakers would go to Atlanta to challenge the Eagles in the No. 30 game. Wang Lifan specifically checked the schedule for himself, which also made Ke Yan feel that it might be the right time to strike while the iron is hot and express his feelings.

The girls have taken this step, what else can I hesitate about?

"Never, the night is so beautiful tonight."

Natsume Soseki uses a subtle expression for the translation of 'I LOOVE U'.

Wang Lifan frowned and then pretended to be puzzled: "Hmm?"

“I said….”

At this time, Wang Lifan's cell phone rang out inappropriately. She took it out, frowned slightly, glanced at Ke Yan, and hung up quietly.

"Why don't you answer?"

"Hebe called, not a big call." Wang Lifan said.

As soon as Wang Lifan finished speaking, his phone rang again and she continued to hang up.

After three consecutive times, there was finally no movement there.
