Just entering the fourth quarter, Wang Feng used a fast break after a steal to rush into the basket and score a dunk to kick off the game.
Then, Wang Feng borrowed a pick-and-roll screen from his teammates outside the three-point line, and hit a three-pointer from an open position. He scored 5 points in a row and widened the point difference to double digits.
But it's not over yet.
In the next few rounds, no matter who from the Clippers stepped up to score, Wang Feng would be able to hit back immediately.
About 5 minutes into the game, the point difference between the two teams increased instead of decreasing, reaching more than 15 points.
And Wang Feng's personal score has already exceeded the 50-point mark before he knew it!
"Oh my god, Wang Feng has already scored 50 points in this game!" O'Neal exclaimed. "He is too fierce!"
For Wang Feng, who had already scored 43 points in the first three quarters, it is not surprising that he scored more than 50 points. However, there is still more than half a quarter before the end of the game. In this half quarter, God knows how much more Wang Feng can get.
Points, 60+ points?
At 7 minutes and 32 seconds into the game, Wang Feng broke through the mid-range with the ball and hit a jump shot, scoring his 52nd point.
At 8 minutes and 41 seconds, Wang Feng hit a super long-range three-pointer from the outside, scoring 55 points.
At 9 minutes and 13 seconds, Wang Feng rushed to the basket and switched hands to score a layup. At the same time, Jordan suffered a defensive foul and scored 2+1. He made a free throw and scored 58 points.
At 10 minutes and 25 seconds, Wang Feng received a pass from his teammate and shot from the left corner of the three-point line. He hit a three-pointer and scored 61 points!
At 10 minutes and 51 seconds, Wang Feng stole a pass from the Clippers and dunked under the basket on a fast break, scoring 63 points!
…
As the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 119:108, winning by 11 points.
Wang Feng played 36 minutes, making 23 of 39 shots, 59% from the field, 52% from the three-point range, 6 of 7 free throws, 63 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals!
The entire alliance was shocked!
No one could have imagined that Wang Feng’s debut in Los Angeles would be so shocking, with a massive double-double of 63+11.
Although the Clippers are without Chris Paul, the skinny camel is bigger than a horse. They still have some strength, at least much better than the Lakers. I didn't expect that Wang Feng would be held down and beaten by Wang Feng on his own.
In addition to Wang Feng's 63 points, Brook Lopez scored 18 points and Ingram scored 12 points. No one else scored in double figures for the Lakers. Among them, Ingram made 3 of 15 shots with a shooting percentage of only 20%. His performance was extremely poor.
.
On the other side of the Clippers, Griffin scored a team-high 29 points and 14 rebounds, and Jordan had 14 points and 24 rebounds, but the performance of others was not so good. Gallinari and Wang Feng faced off directly, although there were no other players behind him.
He went to defend Wang Feng, but was always defended by Wang Feng. Therefore, he only scored 11 points on 3 of 13 shots from the field. His shooting percentage was not much better than Ingram.
Beverley scored 10 points on 4-of-12 shooting, and Lou Williams scored 12 points.
The Clippers during Paul's era have always lacked stable scoring output points. Now that Paul has left the team, the Clippers' problems have not been solved at all, but have become more serious.
…
In his first game, he scored 63 points and led his team to win the same city derby. Wang Feng's popularity in Los Angeles instantly skyrocketed. Many Lakers fans who were still waiting to watch quickly switched sides and became Wang Feng's biggest fans, especially after hearing the end of Wang Feng's game.
After speaking at the press conference later.
"Mr. Wang Feng, you scored 63 points in your first game on behalf of the Lakers, breaking your own personal scoring record. How are you feeling now?"
a reporter asked.
"Of course it's good, very good." Wang Feng said with a smile: "But don't be surprised by 63 points. In the future, you can often see similar scoring performances in the Lakers."
"Are you saying that you can score 60+ points at any time as long as you want?" the reporter asked.
"It's hard to say." Wang Feng shook his head slightly, "But I have two goals in the new season. The first is to compete for the scoring title, and the second is to help the team enter the playoffs. I will work hard with these two goals."
"Wow..."
The reporters were in an uproar, the spotlights were flashing wildly, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while. The Lakers' press officer had to come out to maintain order.
Crazy, so crazy.
They have just finished their first regular season game, and they actually want to compete for the scoring title and lead the team into the playoffs.
Let’s not talk about how to lead a Lakers team that was last in the league last season with only 26 wins to break out in the Western Conference with many strong players. Even the scoring champion is not something that just anyone can take.
The scoring champion is an honor that can only be obtained by the player with the highest score among more than 300 players in the entire league in a long season. Among the major awards in the league, its gold content is even second only to the regular season MVP.
In the past ten years, there have only been a few scoring champions in the league. Durant, Westbrook, Curry, etc., almost all of them are regular season MVP winners and the league's top superstars.
Wang Feng is indeed very powerful, but who of these stars can he beat in terms of scoring?
At least in the eyes of media reporters, Wang Feng is still far behind James, Curry, Durant, Westbrook and other stars.
"News, absolute news."
The league has not seen a player as bold as Wang Feng for many years. The reporters were like sharks smelling blood, recording Wang Feng's words with gleaming eyes.
…
Regarding Wang Feng's two goals, the outside world is completely polarized, with mixed praise and criticism.
Most people think that Wang Feng is inflated. He scores 63 points in a game and doesn't know how much he weighs.
Who in the league has not scored high points? Last season, Suns guard Devin Booker shocked the league by scoring 70 points, but what was the result? That season, Booker averaged only 22 points per game, although it is not counted.
It's low, but it's not even in the top ten in the scoring list.
You Wang Feng only scored 63 points, yet you dare to compete for the scoring title? Do you really think that the scoring title can be taken whenever you want?
But for the fans of the Lakers and China, they are very excited that Wang Feng has such ambitions. China has never had a player like Wang Feng before, and the Lakers have been looking forward to it since Kobe Bryant retired.
With the joining of a super scorer.
Now, it seems they can get their wish!
As for whether Wang Feng will let them down...the second game of the regular season one day later seems to be the answer given by Wang Feng.
On October 20, 2017, the Lakers faced the Phoenix Suns away from home, and the Lakers won the game 121:115.
In this game, Wang Feng played 35 minutes, made 14 of 27 shots, scored 41 points, 13 rebounds and 4 steals, and his shooting rate remained above 51%.
It’s not over yet!
Two days later, on October 22, the Lakers played against the New Orleans Pelicans at home. Wang Feng made 10 of 22 shots, including 5 of 10 three-pointers, and scored 34 points again! The Lakers won 119:112!
