Chapter three hundred and fifth consecutive losses
Will being too selfish during the All-Star Weekend cause dissatisfaction with other star players?
The answer is of course yes.
Everyone is a star, so why are you the only one in the limelight?
Even a player like Kobe, who is paranoid about the pursuit of victory, has been selected to the All-Star Game 18 times throughout his career, but has only won the All-Star MVP 4 times. There are many times that Kobe has taken the initiative to give opportunities to others to help others.
Performance on the all-star stage.
As a result of Wang Feng's behavior, it is easy to lose friends.
But the question is, does Wang Feng need friends? No, what he needs is the free distribution of points that can make him stronger.
The All-Star MVP has 15 All-Star points, which is not a small number, at least compared to the difficulty of getting the MVP of the game.
Under such circumstances, how could Wang Feng miss this award so easily? Even if it offends many of the league's top stars, he would not hesitate.
After all, compared to taking care of the face and vanity of these stars, your own rewards are more important and more substantial.
Perhaps one day, Wang Fengfeng will voluntarily give up the MVP award for the All-Star Game. For example, when all his attributes have been increased to the full value of 90, and the free distribution of points is completely useless.
Maybe by that day, Wang Feng has offended all the stars in the league, but by then he will be invincible. Even 1v5 may not be a dream. Who else needs to be taken into consideration?
To sum up, Wang Feng has not been affected by the various opinions from the outside at all. As long as he plays in the All-Star Weekend, he will definitely win all the awards as much as possible in order to maximize his interests.
…
As the January schedule enters the middle of the season, the Lakers' number of losses begins to inevitably increase.
On January 13, the Lakers suffered an upset loss to the Cavaliers, who were at the bottom of the league. There was no way around it. The entire Cavaliers team seemed to be hanging on. The players on the court were making unrelenting shots, and even Wang Feng couldn't stop them.
After all, this is a ball game, and everyone has to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year.
After losing to the Cavaliers, the Lakers defeated the Bulls and Thunder in succession, and then lost in an away game against the Houston Rockets on January 19.
The Lakers battled with the Rockets in overtime, and ultimately lost to the Rockets 134:138.
In this game, Wang Feng originally wanted to keep Harden in check, so that the gap between the two sides in the scoring list would further widen.
Unexpectedly, Wang Feng was given a hard lesson by the away referee. Within 5 minutes of the opening of the first quarter, Wang Feng was fouled twice by Harden. In the second quarter, he received another foul as soon as he came on the court.
Continuous fouls made Wang Feng a little angry, but he controlled his emotions in time and started to score in the third quarter.
However, halfway through the fourth quarter, Wang Feng still accidentally picked up his sixth foul of the game and was sent off early and was unable to participate in the final game.
Today's Rockets are not only possessed by Harden, but even Eric Gordon seems to have been possessed by Harden. One made 12 of 15 free throws, and the other made 11 of 12 free throws.
In addition to Wang Feng of the Lakers being sent off for 6 fouls, Kuzma also had 5 fouls, and Jimmy Butler and Ingram each had 3 fouls.
The Lakers were punished to death by the Rockets.
Wang Feng played for 30 minutes, scoring 35 points on 12-of-19 shooting, 8 rebounds, 4 steals and 6 fouls.
Harden played 42 minutes and made 14 of 30 shots, including 8 of 19 three-pointers and 12 of 15 three-pointers. He scored 48 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. It was a rare moment for him to feel proud in front of Wang Feng.
After losing the game and being sent off, Wang Feng adjusted his depressed mood and then returned to home to face the Golden State Warriors.
In this game, the Lakers lost quite completely, 130:111, a net loss of 19 points. If Wang Feng hadn't scored 8 points in a row with the key shooter badge in the last 2 minutes, the final point difference would have been more than 25 points.
The reason why the Lakers lost this game was mainly because of Clay Thompson's outburst.
In the first quarter, Thompson made 5 of 7 shots and scored 11 points. In the second quarter, Thompson made 4 of 4 shots, including 2 three-pointers, and scored another 10 points.
Thompson, who scored 21 points in the first half, was now on par with Wang Feng. Even Wang Feng's 26 points in the half were even better than Thompson's.
But in the third quarter of the second half, Thompson completely exploded.
In a single quarter, he made 8 of 9 shots, including 7 of 8 from beyond the three-point line, scoring 23 points. In addition to Curry's 10 points and Durant's 6 points, the Warriors scored 45 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter.
points, and the Lakers only scored 25 points in this quarter, and the point difference was directly opened to a 20-point gap!
Wang Feng was also helpless about this situation.
He is not afraid of Durant's outburst, because Wang Feng can withstand one-on-one defense.
It doesn't matter if Curry breaks out. The Lakers have already mastered the double-teaming tactics against Curry.
But what should we do if Thompson explodes?
In fact, Thompson had Butler, a top defensive player, to guard him throughout the whole process, but sometimes he couldn't stop him no matter how hard he felt!
What's more, Thompson himself is one of the synonyms of convulsive players. The current league's highest scoring record in a single quarter is still Thompson's 37 points in a single quarter in the 2014-15 season.
"This grudge has been recorded. I will definitely break your single-quarter scoring record when I get the chance!"
Wang Feng thought unhappily as he scored 41 points in the game, but could only look at Thompson, who scored 44 points and led the team to win.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Thompson's 44 points, the Warriors Curry scored 26 points, Durant also scored 19 points, Cousins who finally returned from injury also scored 11 points, plus Green's 9 points.
points, the Warriors' starting five alone scored 109 points!
This shows how powerful the five-star warrior team is at full strength.
…
The loss to the Warriors caused the Lakers to suffer consecutive losses for the first time in the new season.
Fortunately, after two consecutive losses, the Lakers finally bottomed out and faced the Minnesota Timberwolves with a heavy blow.
Wang Feng vented all his anger on the poor Huskies after losing the first two games. He made 39 crazy shots and hit 26 goals, with a hit rate of 66.6%, including 8 of 12 three-pointers and 8 of 10 free throws.
He scored 68 points, 14 rebounds and 7 steals.
The 68 points in a single game directly broke Wang Feng's personal scoring record. It was also a powerful counterattack against Harden, who scored 61 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists in the Rockets vs. Knicks the day before.
The two top scorers in the league are still locked in an inseparable battle.
The only difference is that 22 of Harden's 61 points came from free throws. Harden took 25 free throws in the game, which made all the fans feel sleepy.
Wang Feng only made 10 free throws, which was not as good as Harden's season average.
