The Lakers rookies performed well in statistics and the team's record was ideal. These players have received a lot of praise, especially Ingram. After experiencing poor performance at the beginning of the season, he quickly regained his form and performed better.
The better.
Ingram behaved very low-key during the interview and publicly expressed his gratitude to Wang Feng.
"To be honest, at the beginning of the new season, I felt very uncomfortable due to the change of position, and I even felt frustrated for a time. It was Wang Feng who stood up and supported me not only in front of the media, but also in daily training and competitions.
He also helped me a lot. I am very grateful to Wang Feng. He is an outstanding teammate and an example for me to learn and work hard."
The relationship between Wang Feng and Ingram has obviously eased after the previous media interview. Ingram began to take the initiative to communicate with Wang Feng, and even vaguely apologized for his previous bad attitude towards him.
In this regard, compared to Green and Irving, who had a poor relationship with the Warriors and Cavaliers before Wang Feng, Ingram is much more aware of current affairs.
Of course, this is also related to the difference in status at the time.
When Wang Feng was in the Warriors, he was just a player who slowly climbed up from the bottom. He had no reputation and was very single in strength. Green, as one of the Iron Triangle of the Warriors at that time, had a transcendent status and identity in the team, which was not what Wang Feng could do.
Comparatively.
Irving's situation is similar. As the No. 1 pick selected by the Cavaliers, Irving has played for the Cavaliers for many years. Even if James returns to the Cavaliers, he will still be the No. 2 figure and is recognized as the new king of the Cavaliers after James ages.
Ingram is different. Although he was the second pick in the first round, Ingram's status in the team last season was obviously not high. He spent half of the time on the bench and averaged only 9 points per game.
Scored 4 rebounds.
Although the Lakers regard him as a potential new star in the future to cultivate, the most indispensable thing in the league is potential rookies. Only players who can really produce outstanding statistics and have enough strength to gain a foothold in the NBA.
Ingram is obviously not among them, so he does not have the capital to compete with Wang Feng. If Wang Feng can take the initiative to show goodwill, Ingram will definitely take advantage of the situation and quickly establish a good relationship with Wang Feng, the boss of the team, otherwise he may not
What awaits him one day is the news that he will be traded and leave the team.
…
Time has quickly come to February. The most anticipated event in February is the All-Star Weekend held on February 17th.
Since February, league officials have continuously announced the progress of the All-Stars.
The substitute lineup for the All-Star Game has been determined at the end of January, and then comes the stage for the captains of the two teams to select players.
As the top vote-getter, James was given the opportunity to be selected first. Wang Feng had to make his selection after James' selection in each round.
James' first choice was Kevin Durant, while Wang Feng's first choice was also Warriors player Stephen Curry.
Then James' second choice was former teammate Kyrie Irving, and Wang Feng chose Anthony Davis.
After some competition and gaming, the players for both teams were all determined.
The final list of Team James is: the starting five: Irving, Harden, Durant, James and Embiid, and the bench includes George, Bill, Aldridge and other stars.
The starting five of Wang Feng's team are Curry, DeRozan, Wang Feng, Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis. On the bench are Thompson, Lillard, Butler, Towns and others.
From the perspective of the lineup, it is difficult to determine which of the two sides is stronger, but the reunion of the three golden perimeter combinations of Wang Feng, Curry and Thompson during the Warriors' two consecutive championships, even though it was only two years ago, still made many Warriors
Fans of the team couldn't help but chant for the return of their youth, and the first All-Star partnership between James and Durant is also highly anticipated.
All in all, the showdown between these two all-star teams was quite interesting and attracted the attention of many fans.
…
After the teammates of Team LeBron and Team Kings for the All-Star Game have been determined, the list of participating players for individual events such as the Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest will be announced.
Just like the previous news, Wang Feng’s name is indeed on the list in three single-player events!
More importantly, judging from the list of participating players in the three competitions, it is really possible for Wang Feng to win all the championships in the three events.
The first is the Skills Challenge. Last year, the favorites such as Wall and Thomas did not choose to participate. The participating defenders were Lou Williams, Jamal Murray, and Donovan Mitchell.
They are little-known young players.
The participants on the inside team are Markkanen, Horford, Embiid and Drummond.
Judging from the entry list, whether it is dribbling ability, speed or three-point shooting, Wang Feng is obviously the one most likely to win the championship.
As for the three-point contest, although the list of participants includes Clay Thompson, a nail-biter, and top shooters such as Bill, Paul George, Eric Gordon, etc., Wang Feng, who has won the championship for two consecutive years, is not the best player in this event.
Has absolute dominance.
As for the slam dunk contest, although Wang Feng made a big joke last season and was eliminated in the first round, this year from the beginning of the regular season, Wang Feng continued to show powerful dunks on the court, which greatly
Satisfies the watching experience of Lakers fans.
More importantly, the players participating in this slam dunk contest are really not that good.
Neither LaVine nor Gordon, who had a wonderful showdown in the dunk contest in the past two years, participated. The favorite to win is Donovan Mitchell of the Jazz. In addition to Mitchell and Wang Feng, the other two participating players are Dennis.
Smith and Victor Oladipo.
All in all, the most beautiful dunk in the current regular season is undoubtedly Wang Feng.
Many fans were happy when they saw this list, especially those from China, who joked quite entertainingly. "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings. I never thought that one day, Wang Feng would also have the opportunity to become the dunk king!"
On February 15, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 119:111 in an away game, officially ending the last game before the All-Star Weekend.
On February 17th, the All-Star Weekend officially begins.
"Hey, Wang, how do you feel about participating in the All-Star Weekend for the first time as the All-Star Western Conference ticket holder?"
Kobe, who was attending the All-Star Weekend, met Wang Feng outside the arena and immediately asked with a smile.
“It feels good.”
Wang Feng said with a smile.
As the organizer of this All-Star Weekend, the local Wang Feng is the host. A lot of exposure and reports are pouring in, and the spotlight is shrouded in it. This feeling is really good. This is a feeling that can only be experienced in a big market like the Los Angeles Lakers.
